VAMPIRE'S SLICE OF LIFE - Season 3 Episode 20

Lith was standing a few meters away from where the situation was about to occur. He was waiting for the man, the kid, and Sheng to arrive.

Sheng arrived a few moments later and before he could do anything to the man, Lith rushed towards him and froze him with a water spell.

The people gasped in shock as they saw what had just happened and the man too was no different.

Lith ignored them and melted the ice in Sheng’s head.

Sheng breathed raggedly after the ice was melted. He had no idea how he suddenly turned into an ice sculpture. He looked around while trying to catch his breath and saw Lith in front of him.

His eyes widened in surprise. ‘What is the Vampire Prince doing here?’ He thought to himself.

Lith waited for Sheng to stabilize first and it didn’t take long. After he was, Lith said to him in a neutral tone, “your approach is wrong. You’ll never clear this situation if you keep doing that.”

Sheng didn’t say anything and only nodded his head in response. He was too afraid to say anything to Lith. He didn’t want to offend him by any means.

“I’ll tell you everything later. First, go to the kid and ask him if he’s okay and seal the man’s movements. I’ll give your further instructions when that is done.” Lith said seriously to Sheng.

He wanted to have this cleared up quickly and the faster Sheng worked, the faster would he be out of this world.

Lith freed Sheng from the ice and he followed Lith’s instruction. He first sealed the man and then asked the kid whether he was okay or not. The kid didn’t reply anything to him and Lith instructed Sheng from the side again.

Lith could speak out loud and instruct Sheng, there were no problems in it. He was just a spectator and the world ignored his existence. Only Sheng could hear him and interact with him as he was the person around him this world was made.

“What happened, can you tell me? I’ll try my best to help you.” Sheng said calmly to the kid.

The kid still had lifelessness in his eyes and didn’t respond.

Sheng then pointed at the man who was sealed and said to the kid, “if you tell me your problems, not only will I beat that man up, but also solve whatever problem you may have.”

The kid finally showed a reaction as he heard this. He asked Sheng, “really?”

Sheng nodded his head and confirmed it for him. The kid said him the things that happened. How his family was on the verge of death, he begged and then got into this situation. Sheng didn’t interrupt him and only listened. After the kid was finished speaking, he said to him,

“I’ve heard you and as I promised, I’ll help you.”

Sheng was doing whatever Lith was asking him to do, from the dialogues to the actions, all were instructed to him by Lith.

Sheng beat up the man black and blue and didn’t kill him this time. He then went with the kid to shop for food. He bought whatever the kid asked him twice the amount to be safe and then went away from the bazaar.

They reached a small alley and there, at a corner, was a small hut made up of rags and straws. The kid took Sheng to the small house and there Sheng and Lith both same a middle aged couple and a small girl sitting in a circle and coughing and talking.

“Mom! Dad! Little Sis! I am back!” The kid said happily.

The three people looked at him and let out a sad smile. They knew he must’ve worked hard to get food for them but they were helpless since they were sickly and couldnt move from their places much.

The kid fed his family food and asked them to rest and left the house. He sobbed and thanked Sheng after seeing him again, standing right outside the house.

Sheng then took the kid to buy good clothes for him, his family and then got him a small house at the outskirts of the bazaar. He then made the kid acquainted with a bookshop owner and had him work there.

Then, he, along with Lith, waited.

A few days passed in the Dream World and the kid’s life stabilized. He had a decent job and his family’s health condition also got better.

A few more days passed and the kid’s family was now healthy enough to work and move around. Sheng had the other three people in the kid’s family get jobs and after he did that, the situation got cleared finally.

The world around Lith started revolving like before and his vision blackened again. This time when he opened his eyes again, he didn’t see the similar bazaar scene but the hall he was at in the inheritance trial.

He was sitting close to the dream magic circle and in the middle was Sheng.

Sheng’s situation had gotten better than before and there no transformation that was occurring. He waited for him to open his eyes and get out of the Dream World.

A few minutes passed and Sheng was now finally out of the Dream World. He thanked Lith for his help and Lith didn’t bother to answer him or ask anything and simply did an override on his identity badge and eliminated him.

Two done, two to go!

The time of the Dream World and that of the Blue Haze World was very different. Time flowed way faster inside and 10 days there were equivalent to 10 minutes here. Lith had calculated it and thus had no problems spending a few days inside.

Lith looked at the spot Sheng teleported from. He knew that Sheng must’ve gotten some good rewards for completing this trial. What rewards they were, he did not know. This place was probably the Bishop’s inheritance and this was a trial set up by him.

To complete it, one had to show great kindness and magnanimity.

Despite what the man said and did to the kid, in the trial, one was supposed to be magnanimous and spare him. Punishment was inevitable but killing was not the option. The trial also tested how kind one could be and Sheng showed his kindness by stabilizing the situation of the kid’s family.

Once this was done, there sure were to be rewards present. What they were, Lith had no idea. He also wasn’t interested in it anyway. What can a world that was suppressed at Rank 5 could even give him?

Logically, there shouldn’t be anything noteworthy to be present. But then again, there could be exceptions. The possibility of such a thing happening wasn’t nil but even so, Lith had no time for it.

He wanted to quickly eliminate the participants and get done with it.

Lith walked out of the hall and arrived back in the wooden pavilion. He left the area and once again followed the river’s downstream course.
