Vampire's Slice Of Life-Novel

Lith, noticing he was free and had no pressure, turned to look behind him to check up on Emilia, only to see her stand and look at him with a smiley face.

'Why is she smiling?' Lith wondered.

Before Lith could ask her that, the shadow said, "this was a test, stop being so surprised. She wasn't affected in the latter half, just you were."

Lith turned to look at the shadow and said, "I see."

The shadow bent down to match Lith's eye level and peered deep into his amethyst purple eyes.

"Why were you not afraid?"

Before answering, Lith asked, "the trial is over and I passed, right?"

"Yes, you did. Now answer me." The shadow was straight to the point.

Lith shrugged and replied, "Could be because I am a genius."

His mother told him that nothing bad would happen to him even if arrived at this place and explored.

Lith had full trust in her and even though the shadow gave so many threats and made him struggle so much, Lith knew what the outcome would be and he was a hundred percent sure no harm would come to him or Emilia.

Thus, even in the worst of situations, he wasn't afraid.

It took great courage to be like that. If the shadow knew about it, he would scream in utter surprise.

Being able to fend off against a god's aura, not being terrified by a godly demon, that really required some balls of steel and almost no one had the ability to do that.

Lith however became an exception to it and it was really surprising.

But of course, neither the shadow knew about it nor did Lith.

"As cocky as before." The shadow shook its head. "Anyway, congratulations, you have completed the whole trial. Come with me."

The shadow started walking towards a certain place after saying so.

Emilia closed in on Lith and reaching him, she kissed his cheek and said happily,

"You were really courageous there. I am really very impressed."

Lith smiled and said, "it's nothing. Anyway, are you okay? Did he do something to you?"

Emilia shook her head. "After I was pulled away from you, I momentarily had my movement sealed. But after that, when you lay flat on the ground, I was freed and told that this is a test and to not worry, shout, or rush towards you and disturb you."

"Ah, I see." Lith nodded. Thankfully nothing happened to Emilia.

"Anyway, let's go get the inheritance now." Emilia held Lith's hand and pulled it.

"Wait. Before that, tell me, what had happened to you to shake so much and ask about death?" Lith asked the important question.

Emilia froze hearing that. No way in heavens was she going to say why that had happened. It was too embarrassing!

"Let's go, we shouldn't waste time!" Emilia pulled Lith, using a bit of her Emperor Rank power, and dragged him to get him his reward.

Looking at his wife suck at properly changing topics, Lith could only smile and shake his head.

He went to the other room with her and finally when he reached, he saw the shadow sit on a mighty throne and look down at Lith.

Lith was in a grand hall with there being two rows of pillar at his each side. The pillars seemed endless to Lith and above them were crowns.

The shadow held a giant longsword in his hand and was sitting domineeringly on the throne, looking at Lith.

The shadow, noticing Lith arrive, said in a deep and manly voice,

"Welcome to the throne room."

The shadow then continued, "though this is not the actual throne room but just a glimpse of it. The real one is far more grandiose."

"You must be wondering who I am and whose inheritance this is, right?"

Lith shrugged and said, "I mean… I don't really care. I only just came here because my mother asked me to."

"..."

The shadow didn't know what to say.

"Brat, are you trying to offend a God? If yes, I can very well kill you here."

Lith smiled and didn't speak further.

Emilia at the side pinched his abdomen and whispered in his ear, "why must you say something like that…"

Lith chuckled and didn't answer.

The shadow continued, "Anyway, let me introduce myself. I am a remnant will. The one and only will of…"

"The Grand Lust Sovereign."

The shadow took a pause to wait and see the shocked faces of Lith and Emilia, only to see them appear uninterested and confused.

"..."

"The Grand Lust Sovereign!" The shadow exclaimed again.

Still he saw the same reaction from both.

He got up from his throne and said pointing his sword towards them, "You two, what is wrong with you? Why aren't you surprised?"

"Why would we?" Lith questioned without feeling afraid.

"Do you not know who the sovereign is!?" The shadow was now surprised.

"No." Lith said flatly.

The shadow was shocked and he wondered what sort of backwaters did these people come from.

"You seriously do not know who the infamous dual cultivator is?"

"Yeah we don't, what of it? Get to the point." Lith clicked his tongue and urged the guy to not waste time.

The shadow, instead of feeling more shocked, now felt pity.

To him, it seemed as if he had encountered some country bumpkins and also he felt pity for the sovereign who must've thought that some person who highly revered him would take his inheritance.

Not only that, he also could tell that the sovereign was expecting the person who took the inheritance to be really grateful to him.

The shadow thought to himself, 'Tsk, my real self would be so disappointed like me right now if he got to know the truth. It's such a pity that such a difficult trial was designed and no person who actually knew me cleared it.'

'But whatever, the two bumpkins down there cleared the trials and I have to do what I must do.'

The shadow jumped down from the throne and reaching in front of Lith, he said,

"Before I kick you out of here by giving you your reward, I am going to explain to you two bumpkins who the sovereign, aka my original self, is."

"I am the universe's most feared handsome man. People aren't scared because I might kill them, but they are scared to have their wives come in front of me."

"I am the number one dual cultivator, Grand Lust Sovereign. I have achieved many things in life but currently I might probably be in seclusion somewhere and dozing off for a hundred thousand years or something."

"Anyway, a glimpse of my achievements can be seen on the pillars. You see those crowns? Do you know what they are?"

Lith didn't answer but Emilia shook her, slightly interested in knowing this story.

The shadow made a big smile and answered, "they're all the kings who I put a green hat on. Amazing isn't it?"

"Green hat?" Emilia didn't understand and asked.

"Huh?" The shadow was confused.

As for Lith, he showed no emotion on the surface but internally thought to himself, 'Holy shit! That's fucking impressive!'

But his thoughts were soon interrupted when Emilia asked again, "what's a green hat?"

The shadow, listening to that, frowned hard and couldn't help but say,

"Seriously, from what backwaters did you two bumpkins come from!?"

So many achievements and such a massive feat, but these two didn't even show a slight amused expression.

If the real person was here, the will could only wonder what he would have felt.

Lith looked at Emilia and holding her hand, he rubbed the back of it and said,

"Do you want to get corrupted with bad words, my love? Last time I told you that many people use toys to pleasure themselves and also showed you the pictures, you almost ended up puking when you saw a lady insert it in her. You want something to happen again?"

Emilia knitted her brows as she heard that. Her body shivered as she recalled that video and said, "I am good, thanks. I don't want to know."

Lith chuckled. He then turned to the shadow and said, "can you just give the rewards now and let us go?"

The shadow sighed. 'I think it's due to the accumulation of the curses my original self got from all those husbands that he has such bad luck.'

Giving the inheritance to Lith and Emilia, the shadow felt great pity. But whatever, his job would end now and he could get assimilated once again with the original body.

The shadow placed his index finger on Lith's glabella and said,

"It might knock you out, so brace yourself, bumpkin."

Saying so, he pushed Lith slightly, making his vision darken and get unconscious, eventually having his body fall downwards.

But Emilia caught him in her arms and looked at the shadow.

The shadow looked back and said, "Don't worry, in no way would I derive pleasure or have interest in killing two idiots like you. He'll be awake in a while and probably jump in joy knowing how good the reward is."

"Anyway, shouldn't you give him a lap pillow now that he's unconscious? Aren't you his wife?" ????????????r????????????.＆nbsp;????????????

Emilia blushed slightly as she heard that. She didn't like being asked such questions by a stranger but the idea of having her husband in her lap wasn't so bad.

Emilia did as she was asked and having Lith rest on her lap, she played with his hair and waited for him to wake up.

The shadow went back to its throne and got back to cursing his main body for having such dogshit luck.
