Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 1160: Too Green

Chapter 1160: Too Green

In a bustling street of the Everlasting Sunset World, Lith sat on a bench with Keith.

The two were sitting close to resemble a couple and Lith had his hand wrapped around her shoulders, keeping her close in his embrace.

Keith was reading a book while her shoulder touched Lith's. She wasn't annoyed by it or hated it. This type of touch was fine to her.

Lith was playing Toffee Break on his phone. There was a series of candies he had to crush to move onto the next level, and honestly, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't even reach the top 10,000, let alone the top 100.

There was a popular saying in the community that no matter how good you got, you would never be able to claim the top spot.

The player called Cookie had been in that place since the inception of this game and never once was anyone able to overtake them.

It was also rumored that Cookie did not play the game for ages, and still n.o.body was able to take over.

Lith thought that it was probably some unemployed couch potato that played the game day and night to get such a high score.

Because with how astronomical the score was, it was clear that the person had spent thousands of years just playing this game. Who even had such time?

If one tried to read the score, they wouldn't be able to finish counting in at least a few hours. That's how the high score was.

"Mr and Mrs. Woods?" A person came up to the bench Lith was at and asked, breaking Lith's Toffee Break streak he worked so hard for.

Lith was annoyed by the person, and turned to look at him to say, "You are?"

It was a meek and slender boy in a daoist robe. His hair was black and his eyes were amethyst purple like Lith's.

"h.e.l.lo, I am Yam. I am here for the gate you talked to us about." The boy said with a nervous smile.

Lith raised an eyebrow and said, "Did I not make it clear that I only take clients during business hours?"

"Eh?" The boy was confused. "I wasn't told anything about this…"

Lith looked at him with an amused gaze, wondering whether this boy belonged to the Asura or not. He seemed too green for Asura.

Lith sighed and scooted to the side with Keith. He kept his hand on her and said, "Sit. I'll let it slide this time. My wife is with me, so don't say or do anything that will make her uncomfortable."

"O-okay." The boy, Yam, said and obediently sat down on the corner of the bench.

Lith continued to play Toffee Break and asked, "So, what type of gate are you seeking, boy?"

"This… everything is in this…" The boy handed Lith a scroll.

Lith took the scroll and gave it to Keith. "Please go through it, baby. I'm busy with some

work

here."

The world was crus.h.i.+ng candies in Toffee Break.

Lith didn't want to read something he already had an idea of, he thus gave it to Keith.

Keith put her book aside and read the scroll.

The boy's legs were tapping on the ground and he seemed quite nervous.

While playing the game, Lith asked, "Your first time doing a business deal, boy?"

"Yes, sir." The boy replied. "It is my first time doing a mission for the clan."

"Your body language says you're too nervous. You don't seem confident at all. Do you think I would kill you if you did something wrong?"

"Well…"

Sweat formed on the boy's forehead. He stopped fidgeting and wiped the sweat away.

Gulping a mouthful of saliva, he said, "I-I-if you attack me… the clan would give you some trouble…"

'Some?'

Lith thought. This was quite the keyword.

"Did your clan leave you to die or something?"

"How do you know!?" The boy looked at Lith with an alarmed face.

His shocked reaction caused both Lith and Keith to look at him with a baffled gaze.

How could someone be so naive?

Did this boy not know who he was dealing with or what he was saying?

"Boy, sit down."

In Lith's eyes, the boy seemed like a literal child, a toddler who just learnt to walk.

For reasons unknown, he suddenly developed guardians.h.i.+p instincts and felt sad for the boy.

The boy sat down as commanded and said, "Sir, please…"

"Stop fidgeting, first and foremost. I'm not going to eat you."

"O-o-okay."

Keith shook her head at this boy's cowardice and went back to reading the scroll.

"How old are you?" Lith asked the important question.

"18…"

"What?" Lith looked at him with absolute surprise.

Keith turned her head to look at him again.

With the two staring at him so intensely, the boy shrinked in his seat and tried to cover himself with his coat.

"I'm sorry… is that not upto your standards…"

"They really sent you to die, huh…" Lith was completely sure of it now.

The Asura G.o.d Clan sent a cannon fodder to get the business done. They did not want any evidence of them wandering here otherwise the Evure G.o.d Clan would immediately notice and cause major destruction in their territories.

The two clans were sc.u.mmy through and through.

Lith shook his head and said, "You haven't even hatched out of your egg yet."

At this boy's age, Lith was so mature that…

Well, that topic was not safe for discussion, so Lith pushed it to the back of his mind.

In any case, the boy was indeed immature and Lith was quite mature for his age at that time.

This boy seemed so innocent that Lith couldn't help but ask, "You've never fallen in love or had a girl, did you?"

"What…" The boy couldn't believe what he was hearing. He shrinked further when he processed that information and said, "No, sir…"

Lith shook his head. "I can't do business with someone who has no wife. Go get married first and come to me."

"…" The boy knitted his brows. How was he supposed to do that?

"I'm sorry, sir. But I don't think I can do that." The boy said and shook his head.

"Why not?" Lith asked.

"It is not in my capabilities…" Yam lowered his head.

He looked like a deflated balloon to Lith, who couldn't help but say, "Why do you think it's not in your capabilities? You're a handsome lad. You should be able to find yourself a girl."

"If only it was that easy…" Yam shook his head, his self-esteem hitting an all time low.

Lith rolled his eyes and said, "Look around you. There's so many beauties on the street. Go pick one up and get together with her. If you fail to do so, I won't be doing business with you."

Yam's jaw dropped and he said with a sad face, "Sir… no woman would be attracted to me. Can you please change the conditions of this? I really need to do this business…"

"No." Lith shook his head. "I'll only deal with you when you bring a girl over. And don't you worry, I'll teach you how to get together with a lady."

"You will?" The boy had stars in his eyes.

Lith nodded. He hugged Keith tighter from the side and said, "I'll tell you how me and my wife met. Learn from it and you might be able to get someone at least half as beautiful as her. I don't think anyone could be as beautiful as her though or even come close, so that's one downside for you. Right, Keith?"

The tip of Keith's ears had turned so red that they blended with her hair color, disappearing in the silky texture.

She closed her eyes and gave a dry cough, not replying to that.

Seriously, what was this man even trying to do? How could he say such things so easily with such a straight face?

This was a new experience for Keith and it got her blus.h.i.+ng like a young girl in love. Even she was amused by her own self's response to those cringe compliments that didn't feel cringey at all.

Yam was fascinated by Lith's reply.

With determination on his face, he said, "Sir… I am willing to learn. I'll do anything to get this business done."

Lith nodded. "Good. That's how it should be. Then, let me teach you those things now and finish with our business."

"Yes! Please teach me everything!"
