Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1045 Feiʼs Blood*

Nom!

Lithʼs sharp fangs pierced Feiʼs delicate-looking skin. Blood gushed out and flew right into his throat, creating a burning sensation.

As the blood reached his stomach, a change occurred.

Golden sigils started appearing from Feiʼs digits and spread to her forearms, then made their way onto her whole body.

Feiʼs eyes widened, her golden hair fluttered, and ancient red letters revolved within her pupils.

A change occurred in Lithʼs body too.

His amethyst eyes shone with a red hue for a split second, then turned golden like Feiʼs and lost their focus as he zoned out.

Feiʼs figure turned blurry with her face appearing like a motion blur picture.

Lithʼs body turned blurry as well, and in his vision, he was sucked into a strange dark space.

The dark space was replaced with a holy praying hall where figures in golden white robes were gathered and praying.

They were in a circle and in the middle of them was a large hemispheric vessel, containing dark blue liquid.

Right above the vessel, in the air, was a similar vessel but upside-down. Its back had a pillar of light shooting into the heavens.

The vessel at the bottom showed tiny bright dots and colorful mists within while the one at top showed the scenes of a burning house and the screams of young children.

The golden-white robed figures did not stop praying. They did not even glimpse at the two vessels.

However, something bright golden from within them flowed out and was sent into the two vessels.

The running, crying young children ran in reverse as if someone was rewinding time.

The collapsed and burning house was restored to its former glory while the children played within and around it in a happy manner.

A few cloaked figures could be seen running backwards from the house and deep into the forest.

It was then, time was back to normal.

The cloaked figures made a run towards the childrenʼs house.

However, halfway through, they were ambushed by a strong beast and died.

Lithʼs vision shattered at this point and his blurry figure turned back to being normal.

The golden within his eyes was restored back to purple while Fei beneath him was looking away and fidgeting, showing a worried expression.

Blinking in amusement, Lith asked, ”What was that?”

Feiʼs eyes turned to look at Lith. She bit her lips and asked back, ”You saw it too, didnʼt you, Master?”

Her expression seemed pained.

Lith got up from above her and helped her get up as well. He sat on a chair and made her sit on his lap.

Hugging her, Lith said, ”If thereʼs something bothering you, donʼt shy away from asking for help. If thereʼs something you donʼt want to speak about, thatʼs fine too.”

Fei wrapped her hands around Lithʼs body and stuck her face on his chest.

”That… was my family.”

Feiʼs tone was lower than usual, her voice containing softness filled with agonizing pain.

”That was the last thing I saw before everyone was attacked.” Fei poured out her suppressed feelings. ”My father, mother, siblings… everyone came to a consensus that I should be protected and made me run away from the place of attack. I was taken to an unknown place, then sealed within a coffin for unknown amount of years until Master found me and saved me.”

”I see.” Lith rubbed Feiʼs back and comforted her.

He didnʼt say anything for a while and neither did Fei. He simply provided his warmth to her while she basked within it and felt some of her pain getting washed away.

”Fei, this may not be the right moment to ask, but you said they ran to protect you. If thatʼs the case, when I found you, your state was really dire. Did something happen?”

Fei was silent for a bit.

She looked up at Lith and said with a sigh, ”Remember the curse? Every single person of my bloodline had it. I did too, however, the effect of the curse was not as strong on me. Others thought it being a good thing that we were developing resistance to the curse, but our successors were on a sharp decline and the bloodline would vanish before the person who developed a complete resistance was born.”

”It was thus decided that Iʼll be the one to get protected. My chances of survival were higher than the rest and I was also fertile enough to give birth to many. The Yellow Phantom race is one of a kind, and I am probably the last surviving one in the universe. My bloodline can be inherited by humans or members of other races, but if I donʼt reproduce, there wouldnʼt be a Yellow Phantom with Timebound Seer bloodline.”

Feiʼs words were really heavy. To the point where Lith felt it was best to be quiet at this moment and not say anything. Saying anything would only be disrespectful.

Fei exhaled with tiredness and continued, ”I am loyal to you now, Master. You saved my life. You saved the last standing Yellow Phantom. You might not grasp how big of a deal this is, but…”

Fei looked into Lithʼs eyes and held his face with her small hands.

”Thank you.”

Feiʼs gaze turned soft. Her lips were curved down in a sad smile, and she seemed to be in pain, but her eyes were filled with gratitude and reverence.

”If it werenʼt for you, the sacrifices made by my loved ones would be all for naught. I canʼt ever repay you—”

Lith put a finger on Feiʼs lips and shook his head.

”Thereʼs no repayment or debt between us. You belong to me, it is only right that I do things for you. And Fei, you call me your Master. Itʼs insulting to me if you say that youʼre indebted to me. Donʼt say such things from here on, alright?”

Fei had tears form up in her eyes. With a heavy throat, she said, ”Really, if it werenʼt for you Master, I wouldnʼt have survived. Also, I know youʼve done a lot for me already, but…”

Fei began fidgeting, leaving Lith confused.

”But?”

Fei lowered her gaze and glued her face to Lithʼs chest. Drawing circles on them, she mustered up courage and continued, ”…but I am the last Yellow Phantom there is. If I donʼt have offsprings then…”

Then the race would go extinct. It was what she might be trying to say, thought Lith.

Somehow, her situation was similar to Bellaʼs. Except, the only difference was that fairies existed in other places of the universe, and the fact that she was found by his mother and not him.

Now that Lith thought about it, he wasnʼt actively trying to seek members, but werenʼt there a lot of people he found already and turned them into Royal Servants?

From what he knew from his mother, she had found all two hundred Royal Servants on her adventures. Did she go through something similar like Lith? The possibility of such a thing wasnʼt low.

In any case, Lith understood where Fei was coming from. She has no one else but him to rely on. This meant that the things related to offsprings depended totally on him.

The fate of the Yellow Phantom race was in his hands. If he wants to, he could extinguish them completely right here and now.

However, Lith had no such thing in mind.

To be honest, he was quite amused by imagining there being a bunch of little Feiʼs running around the castle. There would be some little Lithʼs in the mix too. It sure would be quite the sight.

Lith suddenly shook his head as he realized what he was thinking.

ʼWhat am I doing? If I have children with Fei before my wives, wonʼt I be killed?ʼ

ʼTo have children with them, I need to get strong enough to be able to protect them. If Iʼm weak, Iʼll be a liability to my wives and children both. The Evure God Clan is a prime example of a threat I am unable to fight and counter for now.ʼ

ʼIf the Evure God Clan attacked now, the probability of winning isnʼt even one percent. I really need to get stronger as quickly as possible.ʼ

Just surpassing his wives was a good enough benchmark. He wasnʼt on their level yet, but if he were to reach that, then he and his wives would be called a power couple. The power balance was fully on his wivesʼ side for now.

ʼItʼs decided then. Iʼll abstain from lewd stuff for a while and focus fully on my cultivation. Until I reach Supreme Rank, I wonʼt have sex.ʼ

Thinking so, Lith snapped back to reality and looked at Fei, who was drawing circles on his chest.

”Fei.” Lith softly called out.

”Mm?” Fei looked up at Lith.

”Does your race produce children through traditional means? Like you know…” Lith raised his eyebrows and gestured to Fei some naughty things.

Fei tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what Lith meant.

”Like… to have more Yellow Phantoms, do you need to get pregnant? Or can you like make them out of mud or something?”

Feiʼs expression twisted and she looked at Lith as if he was a fool. ”Master, are you right in the head? Did drinking my blood cause adverse effects to your intelligence?”

Lithʼs lips twitched. Fei, children can be made without having sex too. Just look at Bella, was what Lith wanted to say, but he didnʼt.

Shaking his head, Lith rubbed Feiʼs back and placed his chin on top of her head.

”I can understand how important it is for you to have children. But can you give me some time? A few hundred years should suffice.”

”Mm. Master can take a few thousand years, itʼs not a problem even. Iʼm an immortal, I wouldnʼt die from natural causes and my fertility would not decline.”

”Good. Then itʼs decided.” Lith pulled back and looked at Fei with starry eyes. ”Until the day comes, weʼll consistently train in the baby making process.”

”…”

Fei was utterly speechless.

Lithʼs smile turned into a smirk.

”Today shall be our first day of training.”

”Letʼs begin at once!”
