Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 930 Cultivators and Worlds

?It was warm.

It was bright.

It was cheery.

It was kind.

This second shot at life that Miwa got, it was anything but bad.

Her mother and father looked after her, cooked for her, pampered her, and did their best to be good parents.

All Miwa did these days was eat, play, sleep. She was too young to do anything meaningful and could only go about roaming around and trying her best to cultivate.

Her bones were too weak to train and her willpower was not enough to suffer through the harsh training as well.

Miwa was not worried despite this. There was still time.

She had to be at least thirteen to start her cultivation journey. She did not know why this was the case, but that would be the turning point of her life.

The downfall would start the moment she turned twenty and would worsen until the age of thirty.

Her parents would die after her little brother was born and her village would be burnt.

While this happened, she would be at the mountain town with her unknown master.

Thatʼs right, Miwaʼs original home wasnʼt the mountain town but a small village in the Human Continent, by a small river.

When tragedy would strike, her master would sacrifice himself and save her little brother while her parents would be killed.

Not everybody could be saved and live happily, such was the fate of mortals.

What the heavens were testing, Miwa did not know.

But this time around, she was not going to sit back and watch everybody die.

Things were going to change. They had to change!

In the general guide available for cultivators, it was clearly stated if they were to regress, they shouldnʼt change the major events as it may completely alter the timeline and due to the butterfly effect, the world could be destroyed.

It was thus best to leave most of the things be and focus on only a few important stuff that could raise their cultivation.

Despite knowing this, Miwa did not care. She would let the timeline be altered and save her parents still. Nothing else mattered!

Sitting on the rooftop of her house, Miwa looked down at her parents happily chatting while doing some work.

Their radiant smile was contagious and made Miwa smile as well.

ʼMother, father… I will definitely save you guys this time!ʼ

ʼThe tragedy would not strike again!ʼ

…..

Underground.

Lith and Dennis had dug a big hole in the snow covered mountains. There was fire lit up and they were warming their hands in front of it.

”Despite being vampires who like the cold, we are warming our hands here. How funny.” Dennis said.

”Hm.” Lith said absentmindedly.

”Hello? Your Highness?” Dennis snapped his fingers and asked.

Lith woke up from his stupor and turned to look at him. ”Yes?”

”What are you thinking? Youʼve been zoned out for a while now.”

Lith added a log in the fire hearing that and said, ”Iʼve been wondering… What is so special about that stew? Why are so many peopleʼs eyes on this world and why has it not been destroyed yet?”

Cultivators were selfish beings. They would not care about anything and do their best to achieve their goals.

For that reason, why this world wasnʼt destroyed yet was something Lith couldnʼt figure out.

Dennis shrugged at Lithʼs comment. ”Maybe they donʼt care enough? I mean, have you ever wondered why our world isnʼt destroyed yet?”

It was an interesting question Dennis asked and made Lith ponder deeper over things.

A few minutes later, instead of answering Dennis, Lith smiled and asked, ”If I was a cultivator, why would I not destroy a world? Letʼs leave me aside. You tell me Dennis… for what reason would you not destroy a world?”

Dennis yawned. ”If I had the power to destroy worlds and didnʼt do it, then this meant either Iʼm afraid of something or thereʼs something too precious or itʼs just not worth my attention.”

Lith chuckled and shook his head. This dude was as straightforward as always.

But on this part, Dennis wasnʼt wrong. He was spot on with his answers, however they lacked depth and were superficial.

Diving deeper into the answers, the reason Dennis would have fear regarding the destruction could be summed up into two major points.

The first reason was that his soul was innately afraid of incurring a massive amount of negative karma.

The second was that, due to many people whoʼve died, the cause and effect incurred would haunt not just the cultivator, but everyone around him and his countless generations.

The third reason was that there really may be something precious. It may or may not be of use to Dennis, but if someone close to him got it, used it, and achieved great things, Dennis may benefit from it.

And as for the last and the most lax reason of all was that… Dennis just did not care.

Thatʼs right. Higher level cultivators would not worry about the world if there was no treasure or if it did not have a high enough level.

It could be thought of with the analogy of an elephant and an ant.

An elephant would not really care about a mere ant and go about its day. Thatʼs how the relationship between cultivators and the worlds was.

”Huwaa~” Dennis yawned again. ”Your Highness, why talk about something like this right now? Donʼt we need to leave and search for caves where that ingredient and Miwa is?”

”Itʼs important.” Lith said calmly, his eyes flashing with seriousness.

It was very much important to know this because their future developments would depend on this.

Getting up, Lith patted his clothes to clear off the dust and said, ”Youʼll know why itʼs important in the coming future.”

Dennis yawned again. ”I donʼt really care…”

Lith chuckled and smacked Dennisʼs head. ”Stop being so rude to your Prince.”

”Shawr…huwaa…ryyy~”

Another of Dennisʼs yawn suddenly raised some suspicion.

Why was this guy yawn…

”Huwaa~” Lith yawned as well.

ʼWait… Whatʼs up with the yawns?ʼ

This was definitely suspicious now!

”Huwaa…”

Thud!

Dennis fell down on the floor.

Lith felt his vision become blurry as he went to Dennisʼs rescue.

However, he couldnʼt stop himself from yawning and as he did that, everything around him darkened and he fell down too.

Under the luminance of the burning fire, a shadow could be seen nearing the two fast asleep vampires.

The shadow let out a wide grin, revealing its sharp teeth, then picked up the two and left the place.
