Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 1077 Why Would I Want To Eat you?

Chapter 1077  Why Would I Want To Eat you?

"…in a situation where a woman's given birth. The only possibilities are whether she'll give birth or not. If this were to repeat infinite times, won't the outcomes just be these two things? Won't it get repet.i.tive then?"

Lizbeth was engrossed. A push from Lilith was all she needed to continue the argument.

Lith expected such a question. Taking a sip of tea and being as calm as ever, answered, "Sure, the outcome of childbirth would be just giving birth or not. A coin toss would also only show heads or tails. However, what about the story behind it?"

"Hmm?" Liz tilted her head to the side in curiosity.

Lith leaned forwards and continued, "In a lifetime, you would see multiple women giving birth. But each time, it can be different. One time you would see a woman who's in great distress, another time someone who's happy and easily pops twins, triplets, quintuplets, and so on. Their partner could also be a factor. One time you'll find a lady giving birth while her husband is present. Another time the woman's a widow or a single mother. Likewise…"

Lith explained the many possibilities that would come to a conclusion, baffling Lizbeth.

While it was true that a specific situation had specific outcomes, what if there were an infinite number of specific situations? Even if each specific scenario had one outcome, being infinite, the outcomes would result in infinity as well.

A coin toss would surely result in heads or tails, but there would be times when the coin could land on its edge or get lost in a drain or vanish in the void. This was a fantasy world where the possibilities were endless.

"…to see so many outcomes, you would need to live an infinite life. Though, yes, if you don't wish to see anything, are fed up with everything, then it is understandable why you wouldn't want to live. But you're still young. You haven't even scratched the surface yet you think the bottom of the ocean could already be predicted."

Lizbeth bit her lower lip and tapped her index finger on the table, contemplating and digesting what her Master had said to her.

It made sense. It made clear sense and there was nothing she could refute.

Her thinking that things would get repeated was not a good answer. It was logical yet it was wrong. An intelligent answer like that was beaten by a simple answer: "Oh, I just don't want to."

An argument won't start if there's a statement like that as it was a personal preference and not based upon any specific interpretation or information to further debate upon. Liz placed her palm on her chest and bowed to Lith. "It seems I have a lot to learn from Master."

Lith may not be the best at alchemy, but it went without a doubt that his skills were certainly above hers as of this moment. He had only just started but he was ahead of her! It was unfair, but she could now understand why.

Lith's comprehension skills, his logical thinking, apt.i.tude, potential, ability to work hard, keep an open mind… all of such factors made her far superior than she ever was.

If Lizbeth was stuck to an opinion, it was hard to see things from other perspectives. She definitely had a lot to learn from her Master.

Lith smiled at Liz's gesture and went back to sip his tea. Lizbeth raised her head and then said, "Also, Master, since I am immortal and can't die naturally… If I am ever done with things in the future, you can definitely eat me."

"Pfft—"

Lith spat his tea out and dropped most of it on his clothes.

Lilith was in the line of action, and could easily avoid it, but she didn't. She let the tea coming out from her son's mouth, mixed with his saliva, drench her. Sadly, it did not get on her face or neck and only soiled her clothes. Tch. Better luck next time.

"What did you say?" Lith wiped his mouth and asked.

Meryl was in shock too after hearing that and shot a look at Lizbeth, wondering whether this person was right in the head or not? This lady just lost three points, making Meryl think of her Master in a much better light than ever before. Truly, n.o.body could match her Master!

"What?" Lizbeth asked back. "Aren't you a Vampire, Master? And aren't you raising me to eat me later?"

"Why would I do that… d.a.m.n…" Lith was genuinely wondering if his discipline lost a few brain cells in the prior conversation or something. "Most Vampires don't eat humans. Everyone only sticks to blood, and that too is done occasionally. What makes you think I was raising you to eat you? Are you a pig or what?"

Lizbeth felt her face flush red. She looked down and twirled her fingers together. "Was Master doing so much for me… for you know… without any expectations from me or without expecting anything in return?"

It was unbelievable at first glance that someone would do so much purely out of goodwill. Lizbeth initially didn't know that Lith was a Vampire, but after coming to the castle and exploring, she realized he was the Vampire Prince himself!

She did not lose any respect for him, she just thought that she contracted herself with a G.o.d that gave people everything they wanted in return for their bodies. The offering of their bodies was probably a long time later payment, so Lizbeth wasn't very worried.

Lith facepalmed and sighed while Lilith beside him used a tissue to wipe the spilled tea on his body while the drops on herself slowly got dried off. Meryl's entire focus was on Lizbeth. Previously, Lizbeth looked really cool when talking about all those philosophical things. Now her image had sunk to rock bottom and she was wondering if this was the same girl from before or not.

Lith looked at Lizbeth and replied, "The only thing I expect from you is to live a good life. Didn't you make a prayer to save you from trouble before? I answered your calls, so don't be stupid and start living carefreely."

Lith was all cleaned up by Lilith now. Lizbeth contemplated what her Master had just said. It warmed her heart to know how amazing her Master was. She was truly an idiot for thinking of such stupid things from a being who had helped her so selflessly. Lith, looking at Lizbeth smiling and getting lost in thought, leaned back on his chair and said with a leisurely smile, "Besides…"

Lizbeth's attention was drawn back on him.

Lith tapped on the table in front and a plate of bite-sized cookies appeared on it. Taking a piece and chewing on it, he continued, "…if you get tasty, I would definitely think about eating you."

Lith winked at her after saying so.

Meryl knitted her brows as she heard that while Lizbeth was confused and wondered why her Master would say such contradictory statements. Didn't he say he won't eat her? Why is he talking about eating her in future then?

Lilith, from the side, put her teacup down and said with a knowing smile, "Until she gets ready, why don't you eat me instead?"

"Oh, good idea. Let's do that." Lith said and got up from his chair, giving his mother a hand to get up.

Lilith chuckled softly and said, "Our clothes have gotten messy too. Let's get them changed while you have a small snack."

Lith smiled and before leaving with Lilith, turned to Lizbeth and said, "Study well. If you need anything, give me a call."

Lith and Lilith then left, leaving Lizbeth confused while Meryl looked at them with an agape mouth and a red face. 'These guys… truly bad…'

Meryl wasn't as dumb as Lizbeth. She knew all the underlying meanings behind Lith's words.

Turning to look at Lizbeth, Meryl found her appearing confused.

Lizbeth noticed her gaze and turned to her. Looking at her expression, she thought Meryl perhaps knew what was going on. "What's going on, Mer?"

Meryl seemed to be from the same generation as Lizbeth. Lith too was, but his intellect far exceeded hers, so Liz couldn't comprehend certain things. Calling each other nicknames was a form of companions.h.i.+p for her and Meryl both.

"Liz…" Meryl sighed and shook her head. "Bring your ear closer…"

Lizbeth wondered what was up and obediently leaned to the side, bringing her ear close to Meryl.

Meryl covered her ears with her hands and whispered a few things. Lizbeth's face visibly heated up after a few seconds and her lips began quivering.

She immediately got back to her seat and thought while hiding her face with her hands, 'M-m-master wanted to eat me… that way… w-w-what… how… why… isn't that place… dirty?'

Watching her uneven breaths, Lizbeth shook her head and thought, 'This poor child. How is she going to survive in this world with that level of intelligence? She can literally be kidnapped with a few bowls of porridge or alchemy resources. How dumb… tsk, tsk… it seems I need to step up for her. Fine then…'

Meryl turned into her cat form and jumped on Lizbeth's lap, startling her.

"Meow~!" Meryl said while raising her body and placing her paws on Lizbeth's chest.

She meant: "Don't worry child, I will protect you from here onwards."

Lizbeth mistook her, and thought that the cat wanted a hug, thereby hugging the kitty back. She then covered her face with Meryl's soft fur, burying her red face and continuing to be embarra.s.sed.

Meryl thought that the child had understood her emotions. She rubbed her face on her and thought, 'Yes, yes, don't worry. Big sister here will protect you. Leave it to her!'

And thus, this day marked the long friends.h.i.+p between an orange cat and a green-haired human. One swore to protect the other while the other let her fantasies run wild and later rushed to the washroom to change her underwear.
