Vampire's Slice of Life

Chapter 741 Better To Give A Green Hat Than To Wear One

"What?"

The shadow clicked his tongue and poking Lith's forehead and pushing him back slightly, continued, "I said it's such a small thing, why are you so worried?"

"Because of you triggering this message, I had thought that you got cucked or something and was about to show a message related to it to you. But this case is completely different and so small."

Lith knitted his brows and stared at the shadow. "How do you think this is small?"

"Well… you answer me… is this situation more unnerving or… would a situation where your wife or lover got fucked by someone else be more unnerving to you?" The shadow argued.

"…"

Lith wanted to curse the shadow for thinking his situation was so small, but the argument he put up… it made him think twice before speaking and got him thinking about it.

Just as Lith pictured his wife getting fucked by someone else, a bolt of lightning traversed through his body instantly, causing all the hair on him to stand on their ends.

A never before felt chill coarsed through him and the rage within him was far stronger than the one he had felt before.

Tap!

The shadow poked Lith's forehead again and made him calm down instantly.

"See… told you. This situation is nothing in front of that." The shadow said.

Having calmed down and getting his thoughts cleared up, Lith took a deep breath and nodded his head lightly.

"You're right. This situation doesn't seem as bad now." Lith replied.

The shadow cackled. "Don't think of it like that. The situation is still bad for you. If what you're thinking comes true, your enemies will target your lovers. Who is to say they'll just kill them and not capture and— well, you get my point, right?"

Lith breathed heavily hearing that. Just imagining the things that may happen to his wives made his heart palpitate and shiver from rage.

Still, composing himself, he nodded his head lightly again. "Right."

The shadow then went beside Lith and wrapping his giant hand around his shoulders, pointed at the raging volcano.

"That's your state currently. You're a volcano that's about to erupt."

Lava could be heard sloshing in the volcano and some spilling out from it.

"If you erupt now…"

The shadow made a rise up gesture with his other hand and the volcano erupted, lighting up the entire dark sky red and showcasing a beautiful scenery.

The lava then came crashing down and soon reached Lith's feet and passed through him.

Nothing happened to Lith as the scene was imaginary.

"There's no good thing that'll come out of it since you've caused no destruction to anything. However…"

The shadow snapped his fingers and the scene changed to a dormant volcano being close to a settlement.

There was a forest around it and the settlement was that of a town.

People could be seen roaming and doing their work.

The shadow then snapped his fingers again and the day turned into night with everyone from the settlement going to their respective houses to sleep.

The shadow then took Lith to the volcano and inside it.

There Lith could see tumultuous waves of lava sloshing deep within it, building up great pressure and seeming like it would erupt at any moment.

"…if you lay low and erupt at the right time…"

The volcano erupted once again and this time the lava rose high up in the sky, appearing like beautiful fireworks.

A rain of lava then crashing down on the settlement and the forests followed by a wave of lava from within the volcano, giving no time for the people in the settlement to run and turned them to ashes right away.

"…you can cause destruction far greater than you can even think of."

The scene then cleared up and going in front of Lith, the shadow continued,

"Instead of worrying about what can or will happen, go venture out of your world. Make allies, connections, get people on your side, and turn everyone against that clan you're talking about."

"Even if it contains a hundred Legendary Ranks, you can counter them by making use of the rest of the clans in that entire star system."

Lith sighed. "Saying this is easy, but—"

"Bumpkin." The shadow gazed at Lith seriously. "Why do you think I chose you as my inheritor?"

"How would I know? It was probably an accident, I guess?" Lith answered.

"No." The shadow replied in a serious manner. "There are no accidents when beings of my level are involved. It was your destiny to meet me. And since you are my inheritor…"

The shadow poked Lith's forehead again, this time causing him some mild pain.

"…don't think low of yourself. There are things you can't imagine you are capable of doing. I don't know what they are, but they are there."

The shadow then cackled. "Funny enough… do you know, you would've survived through this hardship even without me sending out this message to you."

"Anyway, since we are meeting, being my inheritor, I'll part some of my knowledge so that you excel in this and grow stronger."

Lith didn't say anything and just thought, 'it seems he misunderstood me. I was never thinking low of me, I was just saying things are hard. But oh well… Any help is appreciated since I am at level zero right now.'

The shadow continued, "the best way to form an alliance with any clan is to show your loyalty to them and what you can provide to make them get respected everywhere."

Lith nodded and made mental notes.

"This thing I said… it applies to a normal person, not you."

"…"

The shadow then flung his arm around Lith's shoulders and snapping his fingers, the volcanic scene changed into that of a throne room, a place Lith had seen before.

"You're not supposed to approach things in the traditional way. To form alliances, find the clans where women rule and get them first by sleeping with them. Once that is done, spread your influence to other clans and slowly but surely, you can get everyone on your side."

"…" Lith was seriously dumbfounded listening to this.

He interrupted the shadow by saying, "I am not cheating on my wives."

"What?" The shadow was surprised.

"You heard it. No cheating." Lith repeated.

The shadow turned to Lith and with a serious tone, said, "do you understand what you're saying?"
