Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 819 Fei’s Background

Chapter 819 Fei’s Background

Once again, it was time to hit the Human Continent, and with Fei, he left the Royal Castle.

Fei was actually a treasure Lith had accidentally ended up finding. She was a Phantom, an ethereal being completely different from the other creatures of the world.

A Phantom was sort of like a Ghost, but not actually a Ghost.

Ghosts were wandering souls and were once actual living creatures. They adhered to the Life element and were just people who didn't go into further reincarnation.

Phantoms on the other hand were different. They were entities that totally didn't follow the Life element.

Reincarnation cycle didn't apply to them and they weren't 'born' in normal ways, but manifested into existence through various different factors.

They could be elemental spirits or simply manifestations of strong emotions or desires from a group of people.

Lith had first thought that this world worked like Earth, where one had to have a mate, reproduce, and then get children. But no, it wasn't totally that.

A being could come into existence literally through mere emotions of people.

One fine example of such a thing were the Nightmare Beasts. The dark horses that pulled the royal carriages.

They manifested into existence when a group of people had nightmares for a certain period of time. Their strength totally depended on the intensity plus duration of nightmares and the population suffering through it.

In a similar way, Phantoms were mostly manifestations and upon further research into this topic, Lith found out a little bit about Fei's background.

The Yellow Phantoms were not someone who belonged to this world. They were otherworldly beings and how Fei or her ancestors ended up in this place was totally unknown.

Yellow Phantoms were Time Spirits and their birth was really rare as it required lots of things that were needed to be done right.

Everything was related to the elemental energy Time and over the course of years, they took on a human body for proper anchorage and ended up evolving into something called as Timebound Seers.

Despite taking on a human body, they continued to have their successors be born through various Time rituals.

They had tried reproducing normally, but the babies born were always humans and never once did they find any success in having a phantom instead.

Rituals weren't easy to do and after getting cursed, they really were unable to recover from this and were wiped out of existence.

The only person remaining was Fei and that too was due to sheer luck.

The Heavens were just, they said.

These Phantoms were far too powerful and their existence was a threat to creatures everywhere.

Even if they never actively tried harming others, their actions would definitely make others walk the path of doom in some way or other.

Everything needed to be balanced properly and hence the curse on them.

The people who cursed them were also powerful and couldn't exist, thus they were wiped out along with these guys.

The more Lith learnt about the ways of the world, the more sketchy he found a lot of things to be. Whatever the case be, it didn't concern him much, so there was no need to bother with it.

Lith met Fei, who was still in her butler outfit, and went to the Human Continent.

Fei looked sexier in a butler outfit than she did in a maid one. Sure, the maid one was bold, revealing, and cute, but the butler outfit just had its charm that Lith couldn't express properly in words.

Some ladies just rocked a formal shirt and pants, there was no helping it.

One fine example of it was none other than his wife Arya. She looked so elegant and stunning in her usual shirt and pants outfit that Lith could keep staring at her all day, all night.

Fei's petite figure looked better in this butler outfit and the tomboyish appearance she had was what was worth seeing.

To tease this young lass, Lith continued to treat her like an actual male butler and made her pout in annoyance.

Fei was tasked with many small things and there was no end to it. She was really annoyed since these were all such minor tasks that Lith could do it himself.

From opening the door to pulling a chair to sit on it, there were far too many things that Fei had to do.

Unlike usual where Lith would simply ask for massages or hug her and stuff, these things were absolutely loathed by Fei.

Still, it was her master's orders and she couldn't do anything else but follow.

The place in the Human Continent Lith had appeared in was close to the Kingdom of Yexin.

Yexin was a revered Empress and a really cunning woman in general, from what Lith had deciphered from Neo's shared memories.

The Human nobles always praised her and also wanted to bed her because she looked absolutely stunning.

They never stopped singing her praises and it wasn't too difficult to get a lot of information on her as people really stalked her a lot.

While being smart, Yexin was also really cruel. The male population in her kingdom was the lowest as punishment for harassment and assaults weren't light.

The place Lith was in was around a day away from the Yexin kingdom. It was in a border area between three kingdoms, with the Yexin one being the closest.

This place apparently had a small base where experiments were being conducted.

If what Lith found here wasn't worthy enough of his attention, he would simply task the maidservants to deal with it and do something else.

Standing in the middle of a forest and there being no signs of any bases, Lith turned to Fei.

He spanked her little butt, making her have an annoyed look, and then asked, "Where's the base?"

Fei blinked in surprise and replied, "Master, you do understand that I can't grow my proportions—"

PAH!

"Owf!"

Lith spanked Fei for her stupid comment. "Idiot, I'm asking about the enemy base. Not your ass. Where is it?"

Fei thought the question was about her not having more meat in her butt cheeks, but it was not the case. This made her feel embarrassed, but she sucked it up and searched for the base her master was looking for.

There wasn't much of a problem finding the base as Fei was a Supreme Rank.

It was right in the middle of the border between the three kingdoms and deep underground, in a catacomb structure of some sort.

The underground catacomb structure provided a lot of security and breaking past it was not going to be easy.

However, with Fei here, things were really easy to bypass.

But, Lith didn't exploit her prowess and instead tried to do things with his own strength.

The first thing Lith did after reaching the spot where the underground catacomb was to analyze the area beneath.

The very room present beneath this spot was not the surface level room. It was somewhere in the lower middle region or something.

There was nobody around for now and it was safe to enter.

Lith did so easily and the next step was to go to the other room and eventually, find the prey these bees were hunting.

The prey being none other than the missing Vampires.

This place was huge and travelling around wasn't easy.

There was Fei who could easily cause a commotion and get to the bottom without such a hassle, but she would also end up attracting unnecessary trouble, which was definitely something that Lith wanted to avoid.

The rooms Lith walked into were spacious and comfy. The humans knew their stuff in regards to such things and somehow, they were leaning towards the modern era of Earth more.

Lith wouldn't lie, modern future furnitures were good, but they came nowhere close to the Victorian Era themed things present in the Vampire Continent.

Lith continued to walk into the rooms and soon…

Creak…

"Who?" A man without a t-shirt turned around and questioned, bracing himself for any potential attack that may come at him.

Lith assessed the guy right in an instant with his eye powers. He was stronger than Lith himself, but definitely not out of his league whom he could never beat.

Lith willed the Space element around him and teleported right behind the guy, sending a skull crushing kick right at his face.

The guy didn't work as the guy dodged it.

Lith, however, had a backup, and he used his legs to smash the guy's knees away.

The guy groaned in pain as he got hit and seizing this chance, Lith went ahead and beat him unconscious.

One guy down, many more to go.

Lith didn't know how many enemies he had to defeat, but Fei was with him so there were no worries.

Continuing forward, Lith defeated many guys and advanced at a moderate pace towards the end.

The guys who he couldn't defeat were taken care of by Fei.

It took him almost a day, but Lith finally reached the end of the catacomb with Fei, getting a glimpse of a mighty metallic door that separated the last room from the rest.
