TSFLIP Chapter 973

He only smiled and said nothing, offering no answer.

Fengguang took his silence as confirmation. She grabbed the scarf around his neck, unwound it, and tossed it aside. Wrapping her arms around his neck with satisfaction, she said smugly, “So you fell in love with me at first sight? Makes sense—I’m pretty and I can cook. Of course you’d like me.”

“Not wrong… I’ve been interested in you for a long time,” he said in a lazy tone that made everything sound languid. Shifting slightly, he let her lie on top of him.

Fengguang couldn’t tell whether he was joking or serious. She only felt warm and happy inside. “But I think the reason I like you… might just be because you saved my life?”

She remembered waking up that day after he rescued her—the way she looked at him felt like an automatic filter had been added. How could he be so handsome? And just like that, her heart started racing.

The reason was simple—she had drunk his blood.

Ming’an patted her head and said helplessly, “Good thing I was the one who saved you that day. Otherwise, if it had been someone else, you might’ve fallen for them instead.”

“No way,” she said, then paused to think, not daring to be too absolute. “Well… maybe I would have. But I definitely wouldn’t have held a ceremony with him so quickly.”

“So are you trying to make me happy or upset?” he asked.

“Oh, the past can’t be changed anyway. Let’s not talk about it,” Fengguang said, steering the conversation back. “Why does the Hunters’ Association want to take Yan Bai’s blood? Did he do something wrong?”

He gently stroked her back. “The analysis of Zeng Xue’s blood came back.”

“What does Zeng Xue have to do with Yan Bai?”

“The Hunters’ Association’s official conclusion is confidential, but since it’s you…” he said.

She pushed herself up onto her elbows. “Since it’s me—what?”

He smiled. “Then of course I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“Come on, tell me already!”

“It seems Zeng Xue’s blood contains a vampiric gene belonging to the previous head of the Yan family.”

“What?” Fengguang was stunned. “Are you saying Zeng Xue is actually half human, half vampire?”

The sudden new revelation about the heroine caught her completely off guard.

Ming’an gave a helpless smile. “It only means she might carry a vampiric gene. It doesn’t necessarily mean she’s half human, half vampire.”

Vampiric genes were something latent within vampire bloodlines—similar to how humans used DNA to verify identity and family relationships. Vampires used these genes to determine lineage.

So a vampiric gene wasn’t something that compelled someone to drink blood.

Fengguang asked, “So the Hunters’ Association wants Yan Bai’s blood to test whether Zeng Xue really carries the previous Yan family head’s vampiric gene?”

“Exactly.”

“And if she really does carry it… what will happen to her?”

“Maybe… life imprisonment.”

Fengguang froze for a moment. “Why life imprisonment?”

“Do you know how the previous head of the Yan family died?”

She shook her head. “No.”

“I figured,” he sighed. “You’d definitely fail vampire history.”

“I hardly ever read history books…” she said, blushing as she grabbed his hand. “Hurry up and tell me—how did that person die?”
