Chapter 35

Am I no longer human?

"Oh dear, I forgot about Akane!"

When Hinata Gen hailed a taxi to go back to school to drive, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten about Nanao Akane, and he slapped his forehead.

Upon seeing that Nanao Akane hadn't called on his phone, Hinata Gen immediately dialed her number, assuming she was angry.

To Hyuga Gen's surprise, Nanao Akane on the other end of the phone didn't blame him at all, and even said that he didn't need to worry about her too much.

She has now arrived at Hyuga Gen's house to prepare a meal.

Thinking of Akane's parents, Gen Hinata asked with some confusion:

"Akane-chan, are things alright with your parents?"

At this moment, Akane Nanao, who was cooking in her apartment, held her phone between her head and shoulder, and said while her hands were quickly stirring the stir-fry:

"I told them I moved out because it's too dangerous at night and I wanted to live near the school. I'll pay for the rent myself by working part-time, and that's when they agreed. I'll be bothering you from now on, Yuan-kun~"

Hyuga Gen chuckled mischievously:

"Then you'll have to make me happy, like with that new knowledge you shared last night."

Thinking of her request from last night, Akane's legs went weak, and she said in a coquettish voice:

"Hmph, what do you take me for?"

Hyuga Gen didn't say much, but instead asked:

"Akane-chan, is there anything you forgot? Do you want me to go buy it for you?"

Akane Nanao thought for a moment and realized she didn't need to take anything else; she had already taken everything she needed from home. So she shook her head and said:

"No need, just buy whatever you want to eat. By the way, Yuan-kun, what kind of food do you like to eat?"

"I like Chinese food, Qianjiang, can you cook it?"

"No, but I'll work hard to learn, and I'll definitely be able to cook delicious Chinese food for you in a while."

After exchanging a few more words, the two hung up the phone.

Hinata Gen couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"She's such a good girl, it's a pity I'm not a loyal person."

Upon returning home, Gen immediately rushed to the kitchen and spent some time being affectionate with Akane Nanao, only reluctantly putting her down when a faint coughing sound came from the living room.

When I returned to the living room, I was surprised to find that it was the housekeeper.

Meanwhile, the butler was elegantly sipping the tea that Rinko Akiyama had brewed for him.

"Young Master!"

Upon seeing Hyuga Gen emerge, the butler immediately placed his teacup on the coffee table, then stood up and bowed to Hyuga Gen.

"Butler, there's no need for such formalities."

Then Hyuga Gen led the butler into his room.

Upon entering the room, the butler immediately noticed the abnormality in Hyuga Gen. Could it be that he hadn't been seen for only a few days?

As if struck by a thought, the butler, wearing white gloves, simply waved his right hand, and an invisible, pale purple barrier enveloped the entire room.

Mingming and Akiyama Rinko, who were outside, were completely unaware of what was happening.

After setting up the soundproof barrier, the butler suppressed his guesses and, barely containing his excitement, asked Hyuga Gen:

"Young master, is there something you need that you summoned me here in such a hurry?"

After asking the question, the butler noticed that Hyuga Gen's eyes were wide open, staring at him in disbelief.

"Butler, who exactly are you?!"

The butler immediately understood that his young master had seen the barrier he had set up; otherwise, he wouldn't be behaving this way.

Moreover, the young master is leaking some magic that he didn't have before.

At this moment, the butler could no longer control his emotions. Tears welled up in his old eyes, and he hugged Hyuga Gen tightly.

Hyuga Gen immediately felt a little out of breath and quickly said:

"Butler, butler, I can't breathe! Let me go!"

Upon hearing this, the butler immediately released Hyuga Gen and took out a white handkerchief from his pocket to wipe away his tears.

"I apologize, young master. I was too overjoyed."

At this moment, Hyuga Gen's doubts were also increasing.

"Butler, what exactly is going on? And what I called you here to ask you today is why women who have no ability become so strangely crazy when they see me."

Thinking about the scene at the school gate this afternoon, Gen Hinata felt a little scared. He didn't want to live with a mask on all the time.

Upon hearing the question that Hyuga Gen wanted to ask him, the butler's expression became even more excited.

"Young Master, that's right. Your bloodline has awakened for some reason. The Master, Madam, and I all thought you would never awaken it in this lifetime."

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Our Elaria family will rise again under your leadership!"

When Hyuga Gen heard the butler mention the Elaria family, he was filled with questions. What did it mean that he was under their leadership and that he wasn't surnamed Hyuga?

Fortunately, the housekeeper quickly explained.

It turns out that Gen Hyuga's father was not an ordinary human, but the Elaria family, one of the 72 pure-blooded demon families from the Demon World.

Without exception, all members of the Elaria family are succubi.

After the eight great demons who ruled the Earth and the Demon Realm in ancient times were sealed away by the eight immortal gods, the power of the demon race was greatly diminished.

Years later, the newly risen angels, fallen angels, and demons waged a full-scale war to vie for supremacy over the world.

It is historically known as the "Great War".

This all-out war eventually reached a stalemate and devolved into a war of attrition.

Angels could no longer increase in number due to God's death, demons lost the four great demon kings and a large number of high-ranking pure-blooded demons, and fallen angels were almost completely wiped out.

Ultimately, the war ended when the fallen angel governor Azazel withdrew from the battle, and all three factions chose to withdraw.

The Elaria family, due to their alluring nature, often lured angels and fallen angels to defect to the demon side, thus incurring joint suppression from both sides.

By the time of Hyuga Gen's father's generation, he was the only pure-blooded demon left in the family. Originally, they had hoped that Hyuga Gen's father could support the Elaria family.

Unexpectedly, while traveling in the human world, Hyuga Gen's father encountered "Minamoto Ayaka," who was on a mission to exterminate demons. She was Hyuga Gen's mother.

Ayaka Minamoto, on the other hand, comes from the Minamoto family, one of the top noble families in Japan. She has the purest Taimanin bloodline in her body. With her top-notch strength and the record of defeating the most demons, she was the strongest Taimanin of the previous era.

Gen Hinata's father was drawn to Ayaka Minamoto during the battle. He originally intended to use his succubus abilities to seduce Ayaka, but unexpectedly, he was the one who was seduce by Ayaka instead.

From then on, she willingly stayed in the human world, changed her name to Hyuga, and used her succubus abilities to secure many large deals, building the massive Hyuga Foundation from scratch.

He even abandoned his former lovers in the Demon Realm, taking only a steward who had served him since childhood with him.

Similarly, with the help of Hyuga Gen's father, Ayaka quickly wiped out all the demons that Hyuga Gen's father considered to be nothing more than small fry, and then retired to become Hyuga Gen's father's business assistant.

Not long after, she gave birth to Hyuga Gen, but for some reason, the newborn Hyuga Gen was weak and sickly, and showed no signs of awakening his bloodline.

If it weren't for the connection between their bloodlines, Gen's father would have thought that Ayaka had cheated on him.

After exhausting all means to help Hyuga Gen awaken his bloodline, Hyuga Gen's father gave up.

Furthermore, since Ayaka Minamoto didn't want her child to continue being a Taima ninja, the couple felt that there was nothing wrong with letting Hyuga Gen live as an ordinary person.

He could have just created another account, but unfortunately, no second child was born before he died.
