Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 777  The Witch That Lost Her Will To Live

The witchʼs expression had no change on it as Lith mentioned that. She still retained the same lifelessness in her eyes.

Looking at Lith, she asked, ”Youʼll save my life and then enslave me forever? Is dying not better than this?”

Her words were to the point and not wrong. It was indeed better than dying than becoming someoneʼs slave forever.

Lith looked at her and shook his head. ”You wonʼt be my slave. Youʼre free to do whatever you want, but youʼll always be under me and do whatever I ask you to do. In a way, youʼll be bound to me forever but will retain everything that you normally would, when free.”

Lithʼs words werenʼt understandable by the witch. She simply closed her eyes and thought of a few things. Then, she asked, ”If I am your body, will you use my body too?”

”I donʼt touch anyone without consent and I donʼt plan on forcing myself on you, if thatʼs what youʼre thinking. I have better things to do than that.” Lith stated calmly.

He was a pervert, but not an extreme one whoʼd fuck any hole he finds. He had his beautiful wives and he was content with them.

The witch opened her eyes and gave Lith a look. She was finding things too hard to believe. It was too good to be true after all.

What would this guy gain from saving her? What would be his motive in saving her? Why isnʼt he outright killing her for harming someone of his clan?

There were far too many questions and even if a witch was dying, her intelligence was still the best among the rest.

That was the problem with extra smart people. They always thought thereʼs some underlying agenda when in reality, Lith had no such thing in mind. He simply didnʼt want a personʼs potential to go to waste.

This woman could harm someone while sitting in a whole another continent and that too in the most unconventional way possible. She was using fate and destiny as her tools and not some elemental spells.

”Do whatever.” The witch had no more energy within her. The suffering had lasted for far too many years and she wanted some rest right now.

Lith looked at her and activated his ability Destiny Seer.

This ability allowed him to see the threads of fate and to what destiny it was leading a person.

Ancient letters appeared in Lithʼs eyes and as the witch saw it, she widened her eyes in surprise.

”T-t-this…”

The letters in Lithʼs began spinning and he felt a sharp pain in his head. The person in front was far too powerful and this ability wonʼt last even for a few seconds.

As Lith had expected, he could only see a few black threads ominously wrapped around the womanʼs heart. He couldnʼt see more than that.

One thing he did see was that there was a thread going out and in a certain direction.

It was probably connected to Fei, he thought.

The witch was too shocked to say anything as she saw Lithʼs ability. Before she could even ask, Lith said, ”summon Fei.”

Ruben nodded and in a few seconds, Fei was here.

Lith then activated his Destiny Seer ability again on her and found big chains with a lock wrapped around her chest and a certain inscription down at her lower abdomen.

Lith walked towards her and tried to hold the chains.

Fei didnʼt understand what was going on, but she didnʼt try to resist or run away. Lith was her master now and could do anything he wanted to her.

The witch was having a complicated reaction as she saw Lith and Fei in front of her.

Fei was the only person who could save her while Lithʼs ability, which was one of its kind, made the witch understand that he was someone of a really strong background.

Stronger than even her enemies. This meant that the witch was doomed from the get go when she was found out by these guys.

The lifelessness in her eyes took over the shock she felt and once again, she felt herself be in a hopeless situation.

Lith didnʼt see her reactions and getting close to Fei, tried to hold onto the chains wrapped around her chest.

He was unable to hold them.

Not a problem, thought Lith. He closed his eyes and went through the inheritance he had of the Lust Sovereign and the world that became his system.

There was a library stacked with thousands of books and manuals. He had the full inheritance of the Lust Sovereign and a whole damn world. It was bound to have something.

In a few minutes, he eventually found something.

Book of curses and book of seers.

Flipping through them, Lith barely understood things even with his super comprehension ability.

Basically, the lock on Fei was put by someone good at divination. An oracle would be proper to call him. To break through it, one had to be proficient in the aspects of fate and destiny.

Feiʼs destiny wasnʼt known by Lith, but with a lock being placed like this, her destiny was pretty much going to be her dying.

She was actually dying in the dungeon until he found her, but even after rescuing her, it turns out she wasnʼt fully rescued.

Then, through the book of curses, Lith found out that an oracle or prophet type being can only be cursed by one single entity, a Time Path seer.

Fate and Destiny would not work if they werenʼt assisted by Time.

Time would go on even without Fate and Destiny, but these two could not go on without Time.

Long story short, the witch needed Fei and Fei needed the witch.

Lith turned to the witch and asked, ”do you think youʼll be able to break her chains?”

The witch turned her lifeless gaze to Fei. A few seconds of staring later, she said, ”I do not know.”

”Can you at least try?”

”I can.”

Lith sighed. ”Good, then try—”

”I donʼt want to.”

”What?”

The witch looked at Lith emotionlessly. ”I donʼt want to. Whatʼs the point of my life anyway?”

Lith looked at her with a stupefied gaze. Whatʼs with the sudden depression sheʼs gotten?

Staying calm, he didnʼt comment on it, rather, asked, ”You donʼt want to live anymore?”

”Whatʼs the point?” The witch asked.

She was asking the age old question ʼwhatʼs the meaning of lifeʼ at this very moment. Something even sophisticated and wise philosophers couldnʼt answer till date.

Lith looked at her and instead of answering, collected his thoughts to word things properly.

This was a sensitive situation. This woman was losing her will to live faster than he had thought of. He didnʼt think asking her to be his maid forever would have such implications.

But then again, he didnʼt want to lie to her. He didnʼt want to simply state that he was going to bind her to him forever.

Hmm… maybe, maybe this approach wasnʼt good.

ʼSigh… thereʼs so many things I have yet to learn,ʼ thought Lith.

Just when he was starting to think that he knew everything and wasnʼt the same child as before, reality hit him like a truck.

There were quite a lot of things he didnʼt know. One of them being this situation. He didnʼt know how to handle such a situation.

What could he possibly say to a witch that had lost her will to love?

She wasnʼt his lover and he didnʼt know anything about her. She was just picked from the streets, her likes, dislikes, nothing was known.

This was troublesome. Had she at least begged to want to live, things wouldʼve worked out, but no, she wasnʼt doing anything.

So, what to do? Lith pondered for quite some time, and not coming up with an answer, decided to just throw everything he could at her and hope that something worked out.

Lith looked at the witch and instead of answering, asked back, ”Why were you trying to save yourself yesterday?”

The witch answered with the same emotionless face as before, ”because I found someone who could cure me.”

She meant that it had been so many years since she was searching for someone who could cure her and when she finally found one, she wanted to try living. Her reason to herself was messed up, but thatʼs the best possible answer she had for herself.

”Then, why do you not want to live now? The person is right in front of you.”

”Whatʼs the point?”

”…” Lith was speechless.

One question and one answer and he was back to the same point as before. Not giving up, he said, ”do you not wish to see yourself grow? Or see the very peak of cultivation?”

”Whatʼs the point?” The witch asked again.

”Do you not wish to see the beauty of the world? Experience everything there is and—”

”Whatʼs the point?”

Lith turned silent hearing that. Just… just what could he possibly say to this woman for her to regain her will to live?

Racking his brains, instead of thinking what she might want to live for, Lith thought what he himself wanted to live for. Maybe, then he could find an answer?

Using thought acceleration, Lith finally come to a new question and asked the witch,

”Have you ever experienced love?”
