Vampire's Slice Of Life-Novel

[Mystic Yin Ice Lotus aptitude found!]

'Hmm?' Lith was surprised to hear a notification from the system out of nowhere.

But he kept it aside for now and let go of Alea's hand.

"Let's have a seat and talk." He said calmly.

"Okay~" Alea was as cheerful as always despite the problem that occurred a while ago.

As they took a seat, Mayzin's gaze was fixed on Lith and she was staring at him intensely, what was going on in her head, only she knew.

Lith could feel her stare and as soon as he sat down, he looked at her and asked with a smile,

"Aunt Mayzin, right?"

Mayzin was caught off guard as Lith brought her name so suddenly. But being a Supreme Rank, she composed herself and clearing her throat, said,

"Yes. How are you, nephew Lith?"

Mayzin tried to be as calm and collected as she could. She knew that although she had ideas regarding the bet and everything, Lith definitely didn't know it and was in the dark.

He was also just a child and Mayzin felt she shouldn't overthink so much and make a fool out of herself in front of Lith. Thus, she tried her best to make a normal conversation with Lith.

"I have been good. What about you, aunt? Is being an Empress stressful?" Lith tried to do small talk with his aunt.

He had just met her for the first time and was fulfilling formalities of talking about random things with her. If he didn't talk, it would be a bit awkward.

Mayzin replied to Lith normally as he questioned her and on the sidelines, Alea began talking with Lucy and Lilith talked with Agalea.

Lucifer was left alone but she invited herself into Lilith and Agalea's conversation and bothered them.

The flow of the conversation was natural with his aunt Mayzin and there was no awkwardness between the two.

To not stretch the conversation for long, Lith soon brought his mother into the picture and had her talk with Mayzin and got himself out of it.

Now it was the ladies talking amongst themselves and at the side was Alea and Lucy.

As Lith got a break, he sat quietly at the site and summoned the system panel in his mind.

As Lith checked, he noticed that apparently Alea had the aptitude for Mystic Yin Ice Lotus Physique.

What it was, Lith was going to get into it but before that, he had a question in his mind.

'What triggered the notification?'

[Answering Host…]

The system answered right away as Lith asked that.

[As Host comes into contact with different people, the system analyses them and notifications are triggered.]

'Alea had touched me before, how was the notification not triggered then?' He asked.

[Host needs to be the one to make physical contact for the duration of at least a few seconds.]

Okay, that somewhat made sense to Lith. But then he thought, 'Does that mean you analyse each and everyone?'

[Answering Host: No. An infinitesimally small fragment of Host's own spiritual power is sent out to the person Host is in contact with. This fragment is then called back and analysed.]

'So this means… you aren't checking up on their bodies but checking my spiritual power that went into them and came out?' Lith asked, a bit curious about this process.

[Yes. System cannot analyze someone else autonomously. Host's input is required.]

'I see.' Lith thought to himself.

So basically, the system cannot scan a person in front of Lith unless he asked it to. But, it can understand them slightly if Lith makes contact with the person by reading Lith's own spiritual power that went inside the body of the other person.

Lith felt it was some genius mechanism and commended the person who may have made this system.

After his curiosity was fulfilled, he checked what the notification was all about.

From what the cultivation manuals Lith had in the inheritance library of Grand Lust Sovereign said, Mystic Yin Ice Lotus Physique was something extremely rare to find.

It was so rare that there was no availability of it even in the divine planes, was what was written in the manuals by Grand Lust Sovereign.

It took him hundreds of thousands of years to find such a physique and when he came across one, he ensured to study it properly.

By studying, it meant that the Lust Sovereign dual cultivated with the inheritor of the physique day and night for many hundreds of years.

He understood the whole essence of the physique properly and how beneficial it was.

Eventually, as he continued on with his life, he found two more people with such a physique. One of the two ended up having a conflict with him and the Lust Sovereign extracted the physique out of her and killed her.

He then put it in his inheritance and just like the Mystic Yin Ice Lotus Physique, there were a few more such things available in the inheritance and when the right inheritor would be found by Lith, he would have access to it automatically.

Until he came across a person with such an aptitude, the physiques would be locked and Lith wouldn't have an access to it.

Lith was surprised to read all of it in the cultivation manual and he thought to himself,

'This guy… he wrote everything about it except for what the physique itself is. Where is the explanation about the functions and uses of the physique?'

Lith then cursed the Grand Lust Sovereign in his mind as the more Lith read the manual, the more it was like a diary than a manual.

Finally, in the last few pages, he found some functions of it and how to have it be inherited to the other person who may have an aptitude for such a physique.

At the end, there was a note that read:

"Don't let this go to waste. Cultivation with someone of this physique is really sweet. Not only will it feel amazing, the benefits to both parties involved would be tremendous."

Lith didn't know what to say about this but then as he read a few functions of the physique in the back pages, he felt it was indeed a lot of benefits.

For instance, Lith and the party involved both would see an exponential rise in their cultivation. Both could rise above others and secondly, Lith's own yang essence would become really potent for others and the ones who would have an access to it would benefit a lot as well.

Lith wouldn't lie, this thing sure had his attention and interest now.

'How can the physique be inherited by the said person with aptitude?' He asked the system.

[Host needs to perform a ritual. It is as follows…]

The system then gave a list of things Lith would need to do and reading all of that made Lith surprised. ????n????????e????????. ????o????

'Damn…' He thought to himself.

He then turned to look at Alea who was smiling innocently and talking with Lucy.

Lith had met Alea for the first time, but with the small interaction he had with her and watching her talk so cutely with his sister, he could tell that she definitely wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Her maturity levels were way below even Dennis and although it wasn't a bad thing, Lith didn't feel like tainting her innocent soul for his own selfish reasons.

Having Alea inherit the physique would mean she would need to constantly do the thing with him and there was another problem with it.

Lith had no interest in Alea and although she was indeed cute and innocent, he didn't have any romantic interests in her whatsoever.

It was obvious because he had just met her but then as Lith recalled the benefits due to the physique, they were so much that he just couldn't ignore it.

Not only would Lith grow by leaps and bounds, even Alea would be doing the same. And it wasn't just Alea, all his ladies would grow as well along with him.

It was a chain of reactions and it would only start if Lith had Alea inherit the physique and dual cultivated with her.

But then Lith shoved aside this thought from his mind. It felt wrong to use someone like that and he wasn't a scum to do such a thing.

'I am gonna let things flow naturally.' He thought to himself.

He remembered the days when he was in the academy. He didn't do much and things flowed naturally, eventually having him develop an interest in his wives Arya and Emilia.

He flirted with them and eventually the flirting went on to lead them to date and then marry. It was all natural.

'Maybe I should hang out with her more and then see how it goes.' Lith thought to himself.

He didn't want to selfishly use Alea but he also couldn't ignore the benefits that came with the physique. It wouldn't just benefit him, but Alea too.

So, he made up his mind to spend some time with Alea and get to know her better. If things work out… They work out. If they don't, well, Lith could look for someone else who could inherit it, there wasn't a problem.

Lith thought this would be for the best and for now, kept things at hold. He then joined Lucy and Alea in their conversation and began talking with them, blending in with the lively atmosphere.
