Vampire's Slice of Life

Meditating for a while, Lith felt as if someone was calling him. He opened his eyes and looked around but there was no one present except for the white strings of elemental energies.

‘Is it just my imagination?' Lith wondered.

He closed his eyes again and went back to meditating. However, the feeling of someone calling him returned and he couldn't help but open his eyes again and look around.

This felt a bit creepy and Lith thought of moving somewhere else.

Lith walked passed the white strings and went in some random direction. However, he felt as if someone was whispering something in his ears and when he turned to that direction, he saw nobody except the white strings fluctuating strangely, as if showing him a path to somewhere.

‘Yeah, definitely a trap. I am not going.' Lith flew up in the air and started flying to a place far away from where the strange noise was pointing him towards.

He ensured that he always went in some random direction and didn't continue for long on the same path. Doing so would result in him being tricked by that something strange and he was trying to outsmart whatever that was.

Soon…

After half a day's travel, Lith arrived on top of a small hill.

The hill was barren and there was only one thing present here. It was a black and gray palm tree with strange star shaped fruits growing on it.

Lith wasn't stupid enough to pluck those fruits and eat it like how a curious shonen protagonist would. He simply sat a bit away from the tree and meditated to calm himself and think of a way to get out of this place.

Firstly, he couldn't understand how he even got here. He didn't even think of this place yet he was here. Secondly, this place was so empty. There were no signs of people being present anywhere and it was kind of concerning.

Just what part of the Astral World was Lith in? He couldn't help but think.

pan,da n<0,>v,el A few hours passed and something caught Lith's attention.

A bit away from him, in the forest below the hill, there was something that was making a strange noise and also shaking the trees and branches around.

It definitely seemed like there was some beast or something similar present there and this made Lith curious. 

It had been quite a while and these seemed to be the only signs indicating that there was life present here. However, Lith still didn't budge from his place and stayed where he was.

He was now definitely sure that something or someone was calling him and asking him to move to some place desperately. Although this may have been a good thing if he was in anime, reality was entirely different.

Being in anime, such strange occurance would lead mc to some place nice and he would end up getting rewarded heavily foe something. Maybe he would even end up with some hacks that would help him become a god or something. 

But, the reality Lith was in, this world he lived in, it was a cruel one. It was either kill or be killed and Lith wasn't going to risk himself for something, even if it might mean that it was something that would benefit him a lot.

Take risks when necessary, but not always. This was something Lith followed. Currently, there was no need to take such risks, he had everything with him.

Unless…

‘If what I am thinking is true, then things are much scarier than they seem.' Lith thought to himself.

Something struck his mind and made him want to go check what that strange thing was.

Lith went downhill and slowly made his way towards the trees that were moving and the noise was occurring.

Soon, Lith reached there and the next thing he saw, it made him completely shocked!

There was a small pond surrounding which there were many trees. In that pond, there were two fishes and they were coiling around each other. 

One was black and had some white spots on it while the other was white and had some black spots on it.

‘Ying Yang!' Lith exclaimed in his mind.

How they hell did that strange something that's calling him know what Lith needs!? How was this even possible!?

But despite his initial shock, Lith remained calm and watched what the fishes were doing.

The fishes in the pond took turns to jump out of it and eat a fruit from the trees near the pond.<novelnext> For more chapters, please visit panda-n( 0 ve)l.com</novelnext>

The fruits were of different shapes and each time they ate a fruit, some strange engravings on the body of the fish would turn to the opposite color of the body.

For instance, the black fish jumped and ate a circular fruit. This caused a small area on its body to change color and become a white circle.

‘I should be running away from this. It seems too dangerous.' Lith thought to himself.

But then, on another thought, Lith needed to have clues that would help him modify the Ying Yang Vīrya Sutra for his wives. It was important.

Lith's gut feeling was telling him that this is definitely a trap. But his heart said that he must face the dangers if he wants to give his wives the best things in the world.

But there was his mind telling him that if something happened to him, they would be much sadder than ever and no amount of things would be enough to heal their hearts.

Lith was stuck in a rock and a hard place and he finally decided that it would be best to move away from this place and not sink in to this, even if it meant not being able to modify the dual cultivation art.

Lith just happened to reverse his position with one of his wives. He thought, what should, say, Emilia should do if she was in his place.

Should Emilia face the danger to get himself something good or should she simply back away from that danger? Lith's obvious answer to that would be Emilia should back away. He would want Emilia to be safe rather than have all the riches in the world.

He applied this thing on himself and thus, backed away quietly.

It was a pity to let go of this opportunity, but it couldn't be helped.

Just as Lith was trying to fly up in the air, he heard a snake hiss in his direction and without even turning back, Lith immediately opened his wings and flew up while also using space elemental energy to warp space and move quickly.

As soon as Lith was in the air, he saw a ten meter tall eagle with three heads fly towards him with great speed. Lith didn't bother to fight it and tried his best to fly to some place safe.

‘Now that I am not falling for the trap, that someone is making a desperate attempt to get me. I think I know that even if I am caught by these creatures, I won't be harmed unless I reached that place that I was meant to go by following those white strings.' Lith made an analysis.

Lith only had a hypothesis and he wasn't sure of things. Nevertheless, he would never stupidly let himself get caught. Lith would fight till his last breath if needed, but not for something he wasn't even sure of was beneficial or not to him.

Only stupid people would fight unnecessarily and duke it out with whoever or whatever creature they find.

A while of flying later, the creatures stopped coming after Lith and he finally got a break from them.

Lith sat down on the ground to take a deep breath and calm himself down from all of this. 

Just as he sat down, Lith felt a strong sense of danger and all his hair stood out on their ends.

From the corner of his eye, he could tell that something was beside him and was very close to his face.

Lith thought of running away, but then something struck him and he stood in his place calmly and didn't move, ignoring the alarms ringing inside his head.

Soon, at the corner of Lith's eye, there seemed to be something with an extremely dark face and red eyes staring at him.

Lith tried his best to ignore it and took deep breaths and calmed himself down.

There was no need to panic and run away. The situation was under control, despite appearing seemingly terrifying.

A few minutes passed and, a breeze grazed past Lith's ear.

From that breeze, Lith finally heard a whisper again, this time more clearly than before: 

"Boy…"
