Chapter 164: The Hiyashi Estate
Chapter 164: The Hiyashi Estate
A few hours flew by like the wind since Cain had first shown up to the Hiyashi Estate. And even now, the news of his visit was still a hot topic for younger and Senior Vampires.
These Vampires all gathered into several groups, eagerly discussing the benefits of the most promising World Spirit Master forming connections within here.
“I wouldn’t dare to believe it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes. Doesn’t this remind you all about World Spirit Lei? He married the Yuan Family princess and made that forgettable Family practically untouchable. That Family is only mid of all High-Class families in terms of wealth. But even we can’t treat them lightly.”
“Yea, and now think how much we can elevate from World Spirit Master Cain? His status is even higher than Lei! We can stand with the most powerful of Sects at this rate.”
“Still, just why did Amber, of all people, take him here. She’s….well… .she’s her. It just doesn’t add up.”
One group of Vampires fervently discussed. They were puzzled about Amber’s involvement but didn’t think too deeply about it. In any case, Amber’s status far outweighs any one of them.
At this time, at another luxurious Vilia within the Hiyashi estate, a large group had gathered out in front.
Two were the friendly-looking Elder Bai and proud genius Wang. And crowding around them were the others of their gorgeous Vampire clansmen.
These Vampires all had a fervent look in their eyes as they eagerly awaited Wang’s retelling of his previous experience.
After all, he just met with young World Spirit Master Cain!
These Vampires all have their own pride. But against one of the most promising World Spirit Masters, it seemed absolutely nothing in comparison.
“So?? How did it go? Is he like what the rumor says he is? And just why is he so close to Amber?” One of the younger Vampires eagerly asked.
Wang smiled, explaining to them all, “For rumors, it certainly better to see it upfront than words of mouth. At least, from what we have seen, he’s a bit similar to us. Heavily guarded against anyone else but was incredibly open to those he deemed worthy.”
“Indeed, but he also has a manageable personality. Things would’ve been a bit challenging if he was like his sister, at least what the rumors claim about his sister.” Elder Bai also spoke his opinions.
Listening to this, the other Vampire’s optimism extensively shot up. If it’s just blood licking, none of them would have to put too much effort into it. They could feel their very Martial Heart cool over this fact.
A World Spirit Master status is something only they could look up to. But wanting to abolish every ounce of their pride just to please someone outrageously arrogant would be an immense challenge to them.
Cultivators, World Spirit Masters, all manners of beings in their Society have some level of pride. And this pride tremendously increased with each boost in either prowess or status.
These Vampires know they’re not the strongest, but their pride is dozens of times higher than the regular citizens.
However, because of Cain’s manageable personality, they all were thankful this would be the route available.
“As for the other question you’re wondering about….it’s probably what you’re guessing. Amber and Sir Cain are in a relationship together.” Wang calmly said.
“Ah, I see that’s….wait a minute?! Amber?! The girl who would rather sleep through meetings and all conversations? She actually with World Spirit Maste Cain?!”
“I mean….her Martial Prowess is indeed great. But, isn’t she just a little bit too….how should I say it? Droll? Can a relationship with her even last?”
“Well then again, when I saw them first come in, they both truly looked like a couple in love. At least, Amber’s eyes looked completely different.”
The other Vampires instantly jump-started a small uproar. It was simply incredibly difficult for them to imagine because of Amber’s rather infamous reputation.
Among their generations, Amber is directly known as the most extraordinary Martial Talent within the last hundreds of years!
Even when comparing her to all other previous Martial Talents, Amber was known to beat them by several long shots.
With her, the standards should’ve been changed. Her Martial Talent should’ve been the single reason their Hiyashi Noble Family gets tremendously elevated to powerful Sect-like status!
Their glory would’ve been able to finally transcends past all Class-level Families and perhaps rise to the summit of the entire City! A new legend had a chance of being born within their Family.
However….the reality far differs from everyone’s imagination.
Since she could start cultivating to now, Amber barely showed an iota of interest in cultivation.
If it wasn’t because of their headmaster’s constant negotiations with Amber’s parents, all Vampires doubted Amber would cultivate at all!
But, it was also precisely because of her parents Amber can so causally lounge around without a hint of worry.
Naturally, this caused discontentment in many across the entire Hiyashi estate. From this, her reputation soured to the point where nobody thought she’d ever benefit the Family.
So when hearing that this girl got into a relationship with one of the biggest rising stars of the entire younger generation, the whiplash from shock nearly broke their minds.
These Vampires’ reactions weren’t even exaggerated in Elder Bai and Wang’s eyes. They had similar reactions upon finding this out from their headmaster.
Still, despite how shocking this was, the opportunities that could be gained from this were clearly evident to all of them.
Wang lightly clapped his hands, gaining the other Vampires’ attention, and told them, “Now then, I will need you to spread this news all over Gao’s faction. I would contact her, but somehow she claimed that she lost her contact ring on this mission. But hearing news this way can also be beneficial and more shocking to her.”
“Got it. We’ll go right away. If it’s her, she’ll definitely be able to win World Spirit Master Cain to outside.”
The Vampires all immediately nodded. Then, without delay, they all swiftly left the Villa.
Left all alone, Elder Bai faintly smiled, saying, “Now then, let’s report this all to the headmaster.”
….
Time swiftly flew by, and before Cain even knew it, the evening had already befallen the Hiyashi’s estate.
For this trip, Cain considered it a great success so far. The fact that Amber’s parents were an honest joy to talk with made everything go completely smooth.
Not only did he learn more about the embarrassing side of Amber, but he also gained valuable knowledge on Class-level Families and the mystical legend of their Vampire bloodline.
The most astonishing thing about this Family was the quick rise of their prowess and wealth.
Typically, a High-Class Family exists around several generations spanning hundreds of years.
The oldest known Family was said to exist for around thousands of years! This was as long as the entire history of the Azure Lightning City!
That Family also has a peculiar status, being near as the same status as the City Lords themselves.
When considering this, it was amazing to think that the Hiyashi estate is nearly equal to that ancient Family.
The entire history of the Hiyashi estate is only two hundred years at best. A time span like this would equate to a Middle-Class level Family history.
And indeed, if the Hiyashi estate were made up of just regular humans, this would be their limit standard so far.
However, because of all the noble Vampire bloodline coursing through every Hiyashi clansman’s veins, they’re gaining a massive headstart among all other humans and even other unique races.
The innate advantages they received from cultivation were fantastic. To higher cultivation speed, a purer cultivation foundation upon birth, and Soul Forms surpassing thousands of common ranking ones, it was no wonder why their rise happened far quicker.
When considering all of this, Cain wondered why these pure Vampires aren’t on a similar league of Sect organizations.
He attempted to press this answer from Joy and Amiel, but they were rather loose with their answers.
All he got from them is that their lives are far more manageable than if they were to choose the apparent dangerous option.
Cain’s only other option for information was Amber, but of course, she never bothered to learn more about it.
And of course, she heavily valued the fact that her Family chose the easier route than struggling against a challenging fate. It would cut into her relaxation time, after all.
In any case, Cain made a point to discover more about this when he has the time and when his strength increases. He had a vague premotion this secret may require him to defend himself to simply find out about it.
As of now, Cain cast all these thoughts for a moment. He currently sat in the lounge room with just Amber.
Both Joy and Amiel claim they’re heading up to bed early. Even though those two can easily ward off sleep, their choice in bedtime left Cain thinking they truly were some old couple.
As Cain and Amber rested upon the couch, things were of a comfortable silence.
Amber leaned her entire body into Cain, generating the same soothing warmth that almost made her fall back to sleep. She occasionally sighed in pure bliss, basking in the time they could spend like this.
For a short while, Cain stayed relaxed like this, absentmindedly stroking Amber’s lushes hair.
It wasn’t until a thought suddenly streaked in his mind that Cain broke the silence, asking, “You know, I rarely see you mustered the Energy to even dislike someone. Did you Gao have some bad interactions in the past?”
“Some bad interactions? More like, all interactions were annoying. She doesn’t know when to quit.”
Amber quietly muttered, her tone laced with great exasperation.
