Vampire's Slice Of Life-Novel

Nom!

Lith's sharp fangs pierced Fei's 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 Fei's digits and spread to her forearms, then made their way onto her whole body.

Fei's eyes widened, her golden hair fluttered, and ancient red letters revolved within her pupils.

A change occurred in Lith's body too.

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

Fei's figure turned blurry with her face appearing like a motion blur picture.

Lith's 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, twas back to normal.

The cloaked figures made a run towards the children's house.

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

Lith's 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?"

Fei's eyes turned to look at Lith. She bit her lips and asked back, "You saw it too, didn't 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 there's something bothering you, don't shy away from asking for help. If there's something you don't want to speak about, that's fine too."

Fei wrapped her hands around Lith's body and stuck her face on his chest.

"That… was my family."

Fei's 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 cto a consensus that I should be protected and maderun 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 foundand saved me."

"I see." Lith rubbed Fei's back and comforted her.

He didn't say anything for a while and neither did Fei. He simply provided his warmth to her while she basked within it and felt sof her pain getting washed away.

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

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 I'll 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 don't reproduce, there wouldn't be a Yellow Phantom with Timebound Seer bloodline."

Fei's 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 Lith's eyes and held his face with her small hands.

"Thank you."

Fei's 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 weren't for you, the sacrifices made by my loved ones would be all for naught. I can't ever repay you—"

Lith put a finger on Fei's lips and shook his head.

"There's no repayment or debt between us. You belong to me, it is only right that I do things for you. And Fei, you callyour Master. It's insulting toif you say that you're indebted to me. Don't say such things from here on, alright?"

Fei had tears form up in her eyes. With a heavy throat, she said, "Really, if it weren't for you Master, I wouldn't have survived. Also, I know you've done a lot foralready, but…"

Fei began fidgeting, leaving Lith confused.

"But?"

Fei lowered her gaze and glued her face to Lith's chest. Drawing circles on them, she mustered up courage and continued, "…but I am the last Yellow Phantom there is. If I don't 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 Bella's. 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 wasn't actively trying to seek members, but weren't 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 wasn't 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 Fei's running around the castle. There would be slittle Lith's in the mix too. It sure would be quite the sight.

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

'What am I doing? If I have children with Fei before my wives, won't I be killed?'

'To have children with them, I need to get strong enough to be able to protect them. If I'm weak, I'll be a liability to my wives and children both. The Evure God Clan is a prexample of a threat I am unable to fight and counter for now.'

'If the Evure God Clan attacked now, the probability of winning isn't even one percent. I really need to get stronger as quickly as possible.'

Just surpassing his wives was a good enough benchmark. He wasn't 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 wives' side for now.

'It's decided then. I'll abstain from lewd stuff for a while and focus fully on my cultivation. Until I reach SuprRank, I won't have sex.'

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 snaughty 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?"

Fei's 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?"

Lith's lips twitched. Fei, children can be made without having sex too. Just look at Bella, was what Lith wanted to say, but he didn't.

Shaking his head, Lith rubbed Fei's 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 givestime? A few hundred years should suffice."

"Mm. Master can take a few thousand years, it's not a problem even. I'm an immortal, I wouldn't die from natural causes and my fertility would not decline."

"Good. Then it's decided." Lith pulled back and looked at Fei with starry eyes. "Until the day comes, we'll consistently train in the baby making process."

"…"

Fei was utterly speechless.

Lith's smile turned into a smirk.

"Today shall be our first day of training."

"Let's begin at once!"
