Vampire's Slice Of Life

A few hours after the conversation with Jacqueline.

Space twisted around Lith's table and alerted everyone present.

Lith put his guard up, but it proved to be unnecessary when he had a glimpse of a red-haired beauty in black dress.

Keith arrived holding Zhao Shi at her sides and got quite the looks from everyone.

"Mom!"

On her daughter's call, Keith turned to look at her.

Fanny smiled warmly when she noticed her mother and called her towards her side to sit.

Keith unknowingly carried Shi with her, and before this could be called out by Lith, something felt off by him and everyone present.

The warped space should've gone back to normal after Keith had arrived, but it did not.

Their curiosity didn't have to wait for long as a tall, handsome man with a slender build soon walked out of it, surprising everyone present.

"Huh? Roy!?" Jacqueline widened her eyes in surprise when she saw him.

Upon being called, Roy turned to look at her.

"Jack— *

puchiii*"

Roy puked a mouthful of blood and curbed down all of Jacqueline's enthusiasm as a look of concern flashed on her face.

Lith could feel a dangerous aura from the man, but since Keith brought him here, he didn't put his guard up and decided to sit back and watch.

After puking, Roy wiped his mouth and shot a cold glance at Keith, who had now realized she was carrying Shi with her and tossed him to Kenny's table. She didn't notice Roy's hateful glare.

Shi had a look of pain on his face, his expression stating he had been heavily wronged.

Once he was at Kenny's table, he was picked up by the giant tank Gileus, who inspected him to see if he had any snacks on him or not, making Shi more remorseful.

"Roy? What are you doing here?" Jacqueline asked the man from Lith's table.

Roy coughed and cleared his throat. "I'm here for dialogue and diplomacy, to resolve matters peacefully."

Nobody could relate to Roy's pain, and no one could understand the lengths he had to go to make that Devil of a woman understand that conflicts could be resolved via words as well. She kept attacking him without giving him a break and caused a lot of problems.

Things would've been fine had they been purely fighting, but for some reason, a lot of minor things kept tilting the tide of battle.

For example, this one time Roy slipped from the cliff he was standing at. Before he could stabilize himself, he hit a pointed rock and got his head pierced.

It wasn't just him suffering.

The woman had a boulder send her flying when she was in the midst of casting a damaging spell that would result in a critical hit.

Roy was yet to understand how they both could be so unlucky, but he had enough of it and didn't want to fight anymore.

Taking Shi together was both a blessing and a curse for Keith.

"Who's that woman's Master here?" Roy looked around and asked.

All eyes were pointing towards a man with silver hair to answer Roy's question.

When he turned to look at the person, Roy's heart instinctively skipped a beat when he saw the fierce amethyst eyes of Lith.

However, when he felt the aura and bone density, he was confused.

"A young boy?"

Lith wasn't an adult by vampire standards yet, hence the words slipped out of his mouth.

Roy felt cold glares on him when he asked that and had a drop of sweat form on his forehead.

"My apologies." Roy cleared his throat and said, covering up his mistake. "I meant, so young?"

As if to answer Roy's question, space twisted in the surroundings and out appeared a majestic woman with blood smeared on her face, holding three heads in her hands, appearing like the very incarnation of death.

Behind her was a man in a dark suit, his expression an impassive mask, devoid of any emotions.

"Master." Qingshan greeted Lith the moment she arrived.

Roy felt something off, and his gaze then fell on the three heads in the woman's hands.

A chill immediately went down his spine as his eyes widened like saucers.

"The 12th— Majinnnnn!" Roy exclaimed.

When Qingshan heard the name, she immediately shot a look towards Roy. It only took her a split second to know who he was.

She disappeared from her spot and appeared behind Roy in the next instant, her hand about to chop off his head in half.

"ROY!" Jacqueline screamed.

"Stop."

She was a bit too late as the Devil itself put herself between Qingshan and Roy, stopping the incoming strike of the Qing Mei Sect's sect master with a simple flick.

Her one word was enough to alarm Qingshan and make her realize the prowess of the one stopping her, and reminding Roy of who the people in the room were.

Silence descended down in the room once again as two Vampires and one Human had a stare down with a Devil, the apex of all predators.

Keith seemed to have become the center of attention again due to meddling between two major powerhouses — the Evure God Clan and the Qing Mei Sect — and causing a strife.

Qingshan had no clue who this woman was. She was a bit slow to relate her to Lith as Devils were a rare species and not someone people associated themselves with. They were the scummiest of scums, freaking parasites that leeched off the very cultivation of a person and grew stronger.

Qingshan was a Human and did not hold a good opinion of the Devils. She found them to be worse than the blood sucking Vampires.

Of course, not all Vampires were bad in her opinion, like how her Master was the sweetest person out there, but the majority of Vampires weren't good with the Human race and disliked.

"Qing'er, come have some tea. You must be tired after all the fighting." A gentle and soothing voice broke the tension.

If there was one person Qingshan would never dare disrespect or disobey, it was Lith.

She gave one look to Roy and Keith, then went to Lith and flashed a warm smile.

"Master, I brought some presents for you." Qingshan said happily and flicked her wrist, making three heads appear on the table.

Lith smiled and patted her head. "You did good. But let's not dirty the table we're having tea on."

Qingshan fully agreed with this statement and flicked her wrist again, throwing the three heads away as if they were trash.

Roy's body trembled when he saw the state the 12th Pillar of the clan and his subordinates were in. However, with the Devil woman standing in front of him, along with this new party that had just arrived, Roy knew he had to tread carefully here. He was on extremely thin ice and any mistake would cost him dearly.

Roy took a deep breath and turned to Jacqueline.

"Jackie, what's happening here?"
