TSFLIP Chapter 998

The president of the Council of Elders, Mo Feng, possessed a special ability—his eyes.

The very first moment he saw Feng Guang in the gymnasium at Osiris, he knew she was carrying a human child. Because the child belonged to a different race, the pureblood vampire genes within her had begun to change. Before the child in her womb could completely contaminate her bloodline, Mo Feng had to stop it.

And the human who had dared to touch a pureblood would have to pay the appropriate price.

He had laid out all the conditions clearly to the Xia couple: as long as Feng Guang revealed the identity of the man and agreed to terminate the child, he would make an exception and release her without charge.

But Feng Guang could not accept either condition.

She would not reveal Ming An’s name. At present, the Council of Elders believed the man was just an ordinary human; they did not know he was actually a vampire hunter. If they found out he was a hunter, the consequences would be far worse than they were now.

After all, there was one rule shared by both the Vampire Hunter Association and the Council of Elders: vampires and hunters were forbidden to be together. If they violated that rule, one would suffer the punishment of heart-piercing torture, and the other would be imprisoned for life.

Ming An was such a carefree and unruly person. He loved to drink and flip through magazines full of beautiful women… If he were sentenced to life imprisonment, he would never endure it.

Seeing his wife on the verge of losing her temper again, Xia Chao quickly stepped in to ease the tension. “Feng Guang, don’t blame your mother. She’s just anxious. I hope you’ll think this through carefully. If you refuse those two conditions, perhaps the Council won’t execute you—but they will keep you locked in this awful place forever. And the child in your womb…”

“They won’t let you give birth,” Wang Ci said coldly. “To the Council of Elders, nothing is more important than preserving the pureblood lineage. Even if you want to protect the child, you won’t be able to.”

The hand Feng Guang had resting on her stomach trembled slightly. She knew her mother wasn’t wrong.

Even as powerful as the Xia family was, they had no means of opposing the Council of Elders.

“Feng Guang…” Wang Ci placed her hand against the glass. In that moment, she showed the tenderness of a mother. “You have a long life ahead of you. It shouldn’t be spent locked away here forever. There are so many places you haven’t been, so many things you haven’t tried. Your lifespan is still so long… You’re my only daughter. I don’t want to lose you. That man… is he really more important to you than your father and me?”

For a moment, Feng Guang couldn’t answer.

The scales were balanced with equal weights on both sides. No matter which way they tipped, she couldn’t make that choice lightly.

It was an unsolvable question.

People often understand that indecision only hurts everyone involved—but when you are the one living through it, you realize that understanding alone is useless.

Xia Chao sighed and gently patted Wang Ci’s shoulder in comfort. “Let’s give her some time to think.”

Wang Ci covered her mouth and said nothing.

Xia Chao looked at his daughter through the glass. His heart was no lighter than his wife’s. “Feng Guang, think it over carefully. We only managed to secure three days from the Council of Elders. In three days, I hope you can give us an answer we can accept.”
