Chapter 5 Mysterious Blood Rose
Elder Boris kindly took Jing Yan's hand and sat on the velvet sofa in the palace-like castle. The velvet sofa was soft to the touch and he smiled lovingly, but Jing Yan felt his scalp tingling.
This Lesomba elder, who had lived for three thousand years, looked younger and more handsome than Jing Yan. He acted like a true gentleman, even biting a woman's throat with grace, avoiding spilling blood and staining his face or clothes. Every time such a youthful face smiled a kindly, it made Jing Yan feel uneasy.
Elder Boris was also a pure-blooded vampire. Bloodlines were divided into pure-blooded and collateral-blooded. Pure-blooded vampires bred from one another. Reproduction between vampires was only possible with pure-blooded vampires, and the chances of successful conception were extremely low. Therefore, pure-blooded vampires were born noble, and most of them were arrogant and looked down on collateral-blooded vampires.
But Elder Boris was different. He had been childless for three thousand years, having tried countless pure-blood women without success. Therefore, he doted on Jing Yan, a man he had chosen as an elite among humans. He personally performed the First Embrace ritual, transforming him into a vampire with his own blood. The First Embrace was the only way for a human to become a vampire, and the vampire bloodline of the person who performed it determined the abilities of the human after becoming a vampire.
As a human, Jing Yan was an exceptional elite, inheriting Boris's pure blood. So, despite being a bystander with a lifespan of only two hundred years, the Lesomba people dared not underestimate him and treated him with the utmost respect. Tang Xiu was the son of another elder, Lei, a legitimate pureblood. However, Lei died during the Millennium Holy War. Tang Xiu was still young, so he was raised by Boris, who didn't even have Jing Yan at the time. It wasn't until Tang Xiu turned five hundred that Boris conceived Jing Yan, seemingly stealing all his love and attention. Tang Xiu therefore always considered Jing Yan his mortal enemy.
"Tang Xiu said that you met a girl with special abilities." Sure enough, just as Jing Yan thought, the first thing Boris asked about was Luo Youyou. This time he couldn't hide it, as he didn't have the ability to resist this nominal father.
Jing Yan nodded, his emotions undetectable, but his heart felt torn. If possible, he really didn't want to hand Luo Youyou over to Boris.
The vampire clans consist of thirteen clans, which have formed alliances with each other to form three factions: the Secret Party led by the Vanzhuo clan, the Demon Party led by the Lesomba clan, and the Neutral Party. For thousands of years, the thirteen clans have been fighting non-stop, a war known as the Millennium Holy War. During this war, vampires, in order to enhance their own abilities, constantly sought out human superpowers, absorbing their blood to inherit their abilities, and as a result, human superpowers have almost become extinct. Although Luo Youyou's abilities are strangely similar to those of vampires, she is not a vampire, so it is not an exaggeration to classify them as human superpowers. Now that Boris knows about this, she is bound to become his dinner, but Jing Yan is powerless to refuse.
Jing Yan thought of Luo Youyou's smile: happy, mischievous, strange, playful... He couldn't imagine how someone could have such a rich emotional experience. Even if he discovered his own uniqueness, he wouldn't panic too much and would accept his different self calmly.
"She...maybe we can use her to deal with Jiayi." Jing Yan suggested carefully. Don't be fooled by the kind face of this benevolent father. In fact, he has a very bad temper. If something is said wrong, he will fly into a rage, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Boris's smile was still on his face, but Jing Yan knew that it was different from before, a little scary. His shrewd eyes stared at Jing Yan with a complicated look, as if he wanted to see through him. Jing Yan took a few steps back, not daring to look him in the eye again. After a while, Boris suddenly smiled again, "Do you like her?"
Jing Yan quickly shook his head, looked him straight in the eyes, and said firmly, "No, her abilities are similar to ours, and her attacks will hurt vampires. If used well, I believe she can help us deal with Jia Yi."
"Oh?" Boris's eyes showed interest. Even if they had superpowers, they were still human. Even human vampire hunters would find it difficult to cause harm to them, not to mention that this was just a girl with superpowers.
"Tang Xiu was attacked by her, too; he can confirm that," Jing Yan continued to persuade. This might be the only way to avoid turning Luo Youyou into dinner. Jia Yi's attacks on the Demonic Party were becoming increasingly frequent. The Secret Party had a seven-clan alliance, while the Demonic Party had only two. The disparity in power was significant, and Boris was most worried that the Demonic Party could be annihilated by the Secret Party at any moment. However, he was concerned that Luo Youyou's unruly personality might not allow her to become involved in their war.
Boris began to ponder, his slender fingers stroking his chin. His voice was deep and incongruous with his youthful appearance. "So, this girl is also a threat to us."
"Let's try to convince her. If she can become an ally, we'll keep her. If we can't convince her, it won't be too late for Father to deal with her."
Boris suddenly looked up at Jing Yan's eyes, trying to see something else in them, but unfortunately, there was nothing. He nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. Invite her to the castle. I want to meet her."
"Yes, father." Jing Yan nodded respectfully and watched Boris leave. He breathed a sigh of relief. If vampires could sweat, he estimated that Boris would be soaked in sweat by now. Out of human habit, he wiped his forehead.
Tang Xiu walked out from the corner, looked at Jing Yan's action with disdain, and said contemptuously, "You've lived for two hundred years and haven't made any progress. You're still the same damn human!"
