After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Amber practically rushed Wang and Gao out the door.
Their meeting lasted several minutes at most, but she could already feel the drain coming on.
As Amber closed the front door, she shot Cain a wry smile. Once again, going beyond her expectations, even for the smallest of tasks. Honestly, it's like this crazy guy simply has the unique ability to handle various situations!
Lightly sighing, Amber slowly saunter over to Cain, saying, "At least it ended far earlier than I expected. And of course, you easily resisted her charms."
In all honesty, if Cain didn't feel that slight tickle in his bloodstreams, he wouldn't even think Gao has Charming abilities.
But Cain was also quite curious about just how potent this ability can get. At peak levels, this could be dangerous to even stronger cultivators.
He asked, "Say, if it isn't you or me, how would a regular Vampire or even a regular human react around her?"
"Haah~." Amber sighed, her eyes rolling on pure instincts. "You wouldn't be able to believe me even if I told you. Less pure Vampires are basically her own little Fanclub. She's truly just too 'stunning' to them. And for regular humans….they wouldn't think it would be strange at all to be her slave. Sounds crazy, right?"
Cain was a bit shocked, but he slowly shook his head. "Well, I mean….you're shadow Energy is just as crazy. When you finally gave in to Kali pestering for a spar back when we just peak Nascent, you were able to easily absorb her Draconic Ice Energy. That alone is insane. Plus, you can also dish out attacks at the same time. And….well in any case, your bloodline is all-around potent."
Truthfully, Cain could see Amber's bloodline standing not only at the summit of the Nine Provinces but the entire Central Divine Region!
The Shadow Element ability to absorb wasn't anything that Kali could scoff at. She actually needed to try despite her overall prowess eclipsing Amber while just in her base form.
But before he could think further about this, Cain suddenly stopped himself, seeing Amber becoming bored of this subject.
She had even waved her hand, telling him, "Ahh, Don't remind me of that. You know? Even now, your stuffy sister is quite eager to fight me. I can tell it by those eyes. But if we were to fight now, I'm afraid I'll get stuffed into an ice cube."
"Come now, I'm sure she won't go that far. Probably." Cain just shook his head. His expression soon shifted to solemn as he then spoke in a serious tone.
"Alright. With everything done, let's head up to your room. We do got something slightly serious to discuss from that meeting."
Instantly Amber sobered up. Whenever Cain has that tone, she knows his orders can't be disobeyed. With all the outrageous feats he continually performed, this mindset was only natural to have.
Subconsciously, Amber put the utmost of trust in him and knows something sneaky must've happened that she wouldn't be able to catch on to.
"Stay close. This place is a bit confusing." As Amber spoke, taking the first steps forward, she nearly stopped in her track.
It was at this moment, some of her seriousness diminished as she finally realized a mind-shaking fact.
This would be the first time somebody is visiting her personal room. And out of all people, it's her boyfriend!
Currently, night had already befallen after that meeting. And this situation is precisely similar to a subtle invitation to engage in more risque activity between an intimate couple.
Even though Amber certainly is far less nervous over intimate moments, she couldn't help but feel a rise of embarrassment over this.
At the same time, she also felt a slow surge of rising anticipation.
These two emotions swirled her mind, causing her heartbeat to speed up and a faint blush to creep upon her glossy cheeks.
Subconcoisoly, her eyes trailed over to Cain, an increasingly feverish light shimmering within them.
'Hm? Oh, this….night and I'm going to her room….no wonder….'
In this brief moment, some of Cain's seriousness diminished. He internally chuckled and nearly couldn't hold off his amusement.
If he were to tease her, Cain was almost assured that Amber would give an incomparably cute reaction and be partially willing. The other partial reason for being unwilling would be the fact her parents are staying here.
And though as tempting as it to be naughty with Amber while close to her parents, Cain knew they had more important matters to deal with that required immediate attention.
Still, Cain faintly smiled, telling Amber, "Already thinking about something naughty, are you? I just want to talk, you know? But, if you up for it, naturally, I wouldn't refuse."
"N-naughty? Yo-you're the naughty, crazy cultivation guy!" Amber's blush bloomed as she swiftly snapped back around.
"Anyways, just stay close to me."
With a noticeable pep in her step, Amber practically hopped upstairs. Wryly smiling, Cain followed behind.
Trailing upstairs and entering the second floor was an intriguing experience itself.
Amazingly enough, the bloodline Aura increased in its potency!
The tickling itch in Cain's bloodstreams noticeably increased but not to a point where it would become actually irritating. Furthermore, the walls, furniture, Vampire markings were all luxuriously designed in this corridor.
As they walked, Cain suddenly asked, "I can just feel the stronger bloodline sensation here. How great is the effect of cultivating here?"
"Mn….I forget what did my parents say….oh, right. If a regular Vampire spent hours here cultivating just their bloodline, their efficiency would be amplified by at least five times. And they could have this small chance of waking a variation ability. To us? Just think of it as another good Qi environment."
Amber explained as she quickly strolled over to a door at the far end of the hallway.
The door was of a beautiful blood-red coat of paint and had a sign that said, 'Amber's room.'
"Here it is. The place I grew up for nearly most of my years."
Amber lazily waved, introducing her sweet childhood place. And with a simple wave of her hand, the door swung open.
Promptly Cain and Amber entered inside. Cain promptly swept his gaze all around, causing a soft smile to curl his lips.
This room was completely as he expected it to be, warming and soothing. There weren't any grand luxuriously designs or intense Aura of some kind powerhouse or genius. The furniture was simple, and the color exuded a nice homey feel.
Cain genuinely felt like he could fall into a cultivation state much easier than even his Discipline Lord's manor.
"So? What do you think? Not too extravagant, right?" Amber lightly joked in an attempt to cover up her nervousness.
"It suits you just perfectly."
Everything that needed to be said was told in just one sentence. Accompanying this was the award-winning smile Cain shined upon Amber, causing her to joyously giggle.
Without any hesitation, Cain plopped himself on the large comfy bed, uncaring about all rules and standards that one is supposed to have at this moment.
He patted his other side, saying, "Alright. Let's get down to business. Come, sit. It's far more comfortable."
Swept entirely by Cain's persuasive momentum, Amber brightly smiled, nodded, and sat right next to Cain.
She quickly grasps his hand, staying silent but signaling for him to begin with her eyes.
But before beginning their talk, Cain fished out Gao's contact ring. Instantly, he stimulated his Soul's Core, sweeping out his Soul Sense entirely on this contact ring.
In this calmer situation, Cain quickly found the source of his discontentment.
He didn't hesitate to instantly link with his Chaos Energy and drill it into Gao's Contact ring.
Chaos Energy smoothly tore right through the contact ring's base Spirit Energy. It quickly latched onto the other power source that was secretly slumbering inside.
"Hm? What are you….?"
As Amber spoke her question, she gradually came to a stop as her eyes witnessed something shocking occur from Gao's contact ring.
Instead of a bright shine or ripples of purple light, visible purple gases began to leak out of the contact ring!
Instantly, Amber realized this was a planted phenomenon.
Contact rings aren't able to reproduce gases form. Everything stemmed from Spirit Energy, and evidently, that Energy takes on a light green form.
If this is gas, then….Gao and Wang really were up to something!
In this instance, Amber's heart similarly grew cold. She never had a favorable impression of those two, so it was almost too easy to doubt both of them.
All she really needed was a valuable reason to effectively deal with them,
A few seconds later, Cain's Chaos Energy managed to pull out the entire stream of a strange purple, gaseous substance.
Taking a quick whiff of these gases, Cain was struck with an incredible fragrance.
The fragrance was almost too sweet-smelling. Cain could admit it was the best smell he picked up on in his entire life. But at the same time, coldness started to surface within his mind.
"This gas…it's form...I understand it now. The Charming ability has several powers. And one of them directly includes the love pheromones. It's a highly concentrated Aura that Gao always needs a few seconds to activate. Tch. Seems like she's trying to pull a fast one right over us!"
True coldness sparkled within the depths of Amber's eyes. She already disliked that Cain needed to interact with Gao. And now, it seems like she wanted to try and steal him right under her nose!
These kinds of little schemes could never waver Amber's heart in the past. But now, it seems like she's genuinely ready to fight if it needs to be.
This kind of fierce expression plastering Amber's face was quite enticing. Cain almost found it hard to keep focus.
Still, he suppressed all distracting thoughts and dispersed the gases love pheromones with just a snap of Chaos Energy.
"So? Just what are these love pheromones. Guessing it, this straight manipulation of feelings deep within the heart, right?" Cain inquired.
"Indeed. Whenever you use the ring, the pheromones would intensify. These pheromones are to subtly make you like Gao, even going so far to the point where you believe you truly like her. This sounds dangerous, but it won't be of use if one is simply stronger than her or a stronger bloodline. But, the nasty thing about this is if you were to drop your guard at any moment, these pheromones would automatically move on their own, preying on their target like a natural instinct. Unfortunately for Gao, your instincts are in a league of its own."
Listening to all this, Cain could admit now that this Gao fellow is a crafty schemer. Without his Spirit Soul abilities, he would have no way of detecting these pheromones.
And he doubts even an Innate Lord would be able to discover it because of just how craftily hidden it was.
Thoughts formulated Cain's mind, and he asked, "Just what are Wang and Gao's backing here? They seem to have little to zero fear around here.. Even against your parents."
