Chapter 1067 Taking Another Disciple
Chapter 1067 Taking Another Disciple
On a random rooftop of the castle, Lith sat down under a mushroom-shaped pearl white umbrella.
Sitting opposite to him on the round white table was Fei and beside her was Liz, reading a few books and sipping on bitter coffee.
There were many varieties of tea cakes in front of her. They were sweet and despite being told that eating them would elevate the bitterness of her coffee, she still insisted on eating them. Her reasoning? The more bitter the coffee, the more it'll keep her awake and alert to study!
Lith wanted to tell her that caffeine wouldn't work on her the same way it used to do when she was a mortal, but he refrained from doing so. If she liked drinking it, then so be it.
He asked Juan in the kitchen to get him a cup of freshly brewed coffee with enough caffeine content to keep a Saint Rank awake.
There were special types of coffee beans available for immortals and those were cultivated on immortal lands— distinct places present away from the places of mortals—with their potency being high enough to kill Rank 7s and 8s if consumed.
Along with Fei and Liz, there was another person around the table. It was a cute orange cat resting on Fei's lap.
This cat may look harmless but she was a Supreme Rank existence that could easily wipe out major cities of the world. She was not to be trifled with.
Meryl's forte was shape shifting. She could turn into anyone and anything, but resorted to turning into a cat so that she could snuggle up to Fei.
Meryl had been actively trying to avoid being near Lith and also did not roam around or mingle with the people of the castle. They made her nauseous as mostly everyone had quite some blood on their hands.
She thus stuck to being a cat and following her Master, Fei. If Fei was busy, then she was with Lizbeth.
Currently, Fei was free from work. The issue with Keith was resolved. Since there was nothing to do, all of Lith's personal maids were instructed to be around Lith or in the Royal Castle.
And since Fei was here, Meryl was here.
As for Lizbeth, things had changed with her.
A few hours ago…
"God!"
"God!"
"Goooooddddd…!"
"God, where are you?"
"God! God! God!"
"Godgodgodgodgod!"
Lith was tired of being called God. When he said it was alright to do so by Liz, he thought she would stick to using it a few times and might not address him as such consistently.
The situation was entirely opposite to what he had assumed. This girl was quite persistent and wouldn't stop even after being told repeatedly to do so.
Hence, Lith took matters into his own hands.
He confronted Lizbeth in the alchemy room of the castle and said,
"Liz, you are going to call me Master from here onwards."
"…" Lizbeth knitted her brows. She did not want to do it since Lith's alchemy skills—
"If you're wondering about my alchemy skills, let's have a match," said Lith in a serious tone. "We'll each make a [Smooth Foot] pill. I've never made it and I'm sure you've never done so either. Even if you are, we are still going with this one."
Lith took a step towards Liz and looked her in the eyes from his towering height.
"If the potency of my pill is ten times yours, you'll accept me as your Master. If it is any less than ten times, there's no need to do so."
Lith then brought out a few scrolls from his space ring and showed it to her.
"As a matter of fact, while you're making one pill, I'll make three different types of pill. Their level of difficulty would be the same as the [Smooth Foot] pill. If you end up making the pill given to you before I make all four of those pills, you don't have to call me Master."
Lizbeth's eyes flickered with excitement. "God, are you perhaps… trying to be my Master?"
"Yes," Lith said straightaway. "There's no alchemy masters around that I know of. Even if they are, none are at the Supreme Rank. With such scarcity, it's better if I step up myself."
Lizbeth looked at Lith with an amused expression.
Lith walked around the alchemy room and began setting up the furnaces to make the pills.
"I may not be a Master Alchemist and an unrivaled genius like you, but I have the potential to be one. For now, all I have to take care of is to be a few levels above you. In this way, my skills will be superior to yours, albeit just a bit, and this should be enough for you to call me Master."
Lith turned back to look at Liz.
"Isn't that right?"
Lizbeth nodded her head. "Yes. If God can be better than me, I'll gladly accept God as Master."
"Good. Let's get started then. I'll have another handicap by suppressing myself to your level and doing this. To keep things more fair, let's have a judge."
As soon as Lith said that, a pretty silver-haired lady in regal black gothic robes appeared out of thin air.
She waved at Lizbeth and said, "Hello~"
Lizbeth froze in her spot as she watched her.
'So… so beautiful!'
Her eyes were glued to Lilith and didn't wander off for even a split second.
Lilith covered her mouth as she watched Lizbeth's reaction and chuckled softly. "Fufufu… young lass, this lady here is taken. You can't have a crush on me, okay?"
"Huh?" Lizbeth snapped out of her stupor while Lith rolled his eyes at his mother's lame joke.
He walked up to Lilith and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to his body.
As Lizbeth watched him, suddenly, she froze again.
'So… s-s-so hot!'
Lizbeth hadn't seen Lith clearly before as she looked up to him as God, but with Lilith in the picture, she naturally compared her beauty with Lith's.
It was so surprising to see that her God was such a handsome man!
Noticing this, Lilith said with visible surprise, "My, my~… did your crush change?"
Lilith looked at Lith and shook her head. "If you keep stealing everyone's attention like this, mama won't have any admirers anymore."
Lith rolled his eyes and hugged her more firmly. "Why do you need admirers? Is my admiration not enough?"
Lilith giggled. "Oh my… is someone jealous?"
Why would Lith be jealous of such a matter? He had the ability to charm any lady and get them to love him instead.
Although he hadn't tried it yet since it felt unethical, there was indeed a technique available in the lust sovereign's inheritance. That, coupled with his killer looks, was enough to have any beauty fall heads over heels for him.
If someone began liking his mother, he could use that technique. Then, they'll only love him, and he could even have a threesome with them and his mother without worries of them falling for his mother again.
That's the level of degeneracy at play here.
Lith wouldn't resort to it since he wasn't as big of a degenerate as the lust sovereign, but yes, if push comes to serve then…
'We're going off topic with this one…'
Lith pulled himself back to reality and turned to the awe-struck Liz.
"This here is my wife. Since she's someone so close to me, you might think I can cheat, and it is exactly due to this that I'll bring someone more neutral to judge us."
"…"
Lilith was taken aback.
She turned to look at Lith with her brows slightly knitted. "Do you think I will go easy on you? Have you cheat?"
Lith nodded his head. "Yes, absolutely. If not cheat, then there could be some bias, which I want to avoid. This should be fair for both me and Liz."
Lilith pouted like a wronged child while Liz blinked in befuddlement.
The level of talks going on here was way beyond her scope of understanding.
Clap! Clap!
With the clap of his hands, Fei arrived at the scene with an orange cat in her arms.
Lith introduced her to Liz by saying, "This here is my maid, Fei. You must be aware of her. She'll be the judge, and to make things fair-fair, Meryl will keep a watch on Fei and my mother. You've been with Meryl for a while right? You should know that she's truly neutral."
Lizbeth nodded her head, but then suddenly frowned as she realized something.
'Wait… did I hear that right?'
Lizbeth quickly shot Lith a look.
'Did God just say mother?'
'What?'
'Wasn't she his wife?'
'What's happening…'
"Alright, let's get started everyone!" Lith's statement interrupted Lizbeth's thoughts.
"Liz, here are you ingredients, get going! Good luck!"
Lith threw her a ring and then hurried towards a pill furnace.
"W-w-what!?"
"Wait! Wait! Wait! I am not ready!"
"Me neither, so start going through the pill recipe and do your best!" Lith shouted from the other side of the room.
Standing at the sidelines and watching Lith who had just dashed away, Lilih squinted her eyes thought,
'If there was someone available to judge... then why was I called?'
'Did my baby just call me to show that he could become a master alchemist easily? That he could easily subdued a genius alchemist and take her as his disciple?'
'Did he really just call me to... show off?'
