Chapter 123: Good child, don’t be afraid, you’ll be okay.
Seeing that Lilith was unwilling to face the truth, Alicia gently sighed and then asked, “Do you remember what you used to duel with Elbira?”
“What did I use to duel Elbira?” Lilith laughed. “Of course, I used a sword and my fists, what else? My teeth?”
“That’s right, you did actually use your teeth.” Alicia said. “Although you might not remember it yourself, when I arrived at the scene, Elbira’s armor was already covered in bite marks; you bit through her armor and then drank her blood.”
“Stop deceiving yourself, Lilith. Your Blood Clan lineage has already begun to awaken; this is a fact you must accept.”
“No, I… it’s not me…” Accompanied by Alicia’s description, flashes of memory surged in Lilith’s mind, and her face immediately turned pale.
“But you don’t have to be overly anxious.” Seeing this, Alicia gently comforted her, “When your lineage awakened, I arrived in time. I used a Secret Technique to seal your lineage, allowing it to stabilize temporarily. For a short period, you won’t have to worry about your lineage issue.”
Lilith suddenly looked up: “Really?!”
“It was true at that time,” Alicia said. “But this is only a temporary seal. The power of your lineage is very strong, and there is always the possibility that it could break through the seal.”
“That’s why I advised you not to practice swordsmanship recently. The consumption of physical strength and Battle Qi could potentially weaken the seal and allow your lineage’s power to break through.”
“Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Lilith nodded repeatedly, but then with some confusion asked, “So Mr. Alicia, how long will my current state last? Do I have to avoid using Battle Qi for the rest of my life?”
“Theoretically, yes. The awakening of lineage is irreversible. Once your lineage has begun to awaken, it will continuously continue.” Alicia said. “However, as long as the seal is strong enough, you can avoid worrying about the power of your lineage breaking through the seal even when your Battle Qi and physical strength are exhausted.”
“Your father has officially entrusted me with this matter, so, Lilith, before I completely seal your lineage, you must absolutely avoid heavy physical work and don’t consume Battle Qi, understand?” Alicia emphasized repeatedly.
“Mm-mm-mm.” Lilith nodded vigorously, her gaze towards Alicia growing more infatuated.
Ah~ Alicia, my superman. So handsome, so gentle, and so powerful. Even the responsibility of sealing my lineage, he can handle it. It’s simply amazing.
Such an incredible person, “if only one day he could submit to me and kneel to kiss my toes…”
Huh?
Wait, wait, why do I have such strange thoughts in my head?
This is so filthy.
However… that scene seems really nice.
Lilith’s face gradually turned red.
“Huh? Lilith, why is your face all red?” Alicia noticed Lilith’s abnormality.
“Ah? It’s nothing, nothing. I’m just a bit sensitive to heat and get red easily.” Lilith laughed a couple of times, “No, um, Mr. Alicia, do you have any other business? If not, I’ll head back first.”
“That’s all I wanted to say. Lilith, you must pay attention to yourself, got it?” After explaining everything, Alicia reminded her once more.
“Mm-mm-mm, understood. Thank you, Mr. Alicia.”
Lilith slightly bent her waist to bid farewell to Alicia and then quickly returned to her room.
“Bang!”
Lilith suddenly closed the door with a slam, dove directly onto the bed, and started tossing and turning.
Ah, ah, ah~ Mr. Alicia is really so handsome. If I could be lucky enough to be with him in this life, even if it shortens my lifespan by twenty years, it would be worth it.
Just kidding.
Mr. Alicia is so excellent; how could I possibly deserve him? I am like starlight while he is like moonlight—completely incomparable.
But, Elrose is right; thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, don’t underestimate a girl’s poverty; the future is to be expected.
What if I become really awesome in the future?
Hehehe~.
Lilith quietly lay on the bed. Theoretically, upon learning that her Blood Clan lineage had awakened, she should have been very anxious. After all, if not handled well, the outcome for her would be forced separation from her family and endless surveillance from the Sacred Domain.
However, when she heard Alicia say he would take responsibility for this matter, she instantly became less anxious. She had only known Alicia for a few days, yet she trusted him inexplicably, and she didn’t know why.
Perhaps this is the power of love.
Lilith let out a small sigh on the bed, then slowly rose.
After sneaking a couple of giggles, she gradually got up and walked to the desk.
She subconsciously pulled open a drawer and took out an item—a finely crafted deep red pendant.
Lilith clutched the pendant tightly in her hand; it was something her father had given her before his death, and he said it was associated with her mother.
Her father rarely talked to her about her mother, and the only thing Lilith knew was that her mother was a vampire; as for anything else regarding her mother’s name, appearance, or identity, she had no idea.
So, if she could truly follow the expeditionary force to the Blood Clan, this pendant would be her only clue to search for her mother.
Lilith rested her chin on her hand, waving the pendant in front of her eyes, her mind once again imagining her mother’s appearance.
Lilith’s lips slightly curled up: “Mother, huh…”
But the next moment.
The pendant in Lilith’s hand seemed to sense something and suddenly began to tremble violently.
A pair of crimson, menacing eyes instantly opened.
“Child of the Ancestor, are you thirsting for my power?”
Alicia was in her room thinking about Elrose when she suddenly noticed the purple sword lying nearby.
Lilith had dropped the sword in shock upon hearing the news of her Blood Clan lineage awakening, and in her rush to leave, she completely forgot about the sword.
Alicia sighed helplessly, then took the sword and headed to Lilith’s room.
“Knock knock knock.”
“Lilith, you forgot your sword.” Alicia gently tapped on Lilith’s door.
No response.
Alicia frowned slightly, preparing to call out again.
But then suddenly,
A strange scent gradually wafted out from the room, and Alicia quickly sniffed the air.
“Huh? What is this…”
Alicia’s eyes widened in an instant, “It’s the smell of blood!”
Without any hesitation, Alicia twisted the door lock and pushed the door open.
Then, the next moment, she was stunned by the scene before her.
A gigantic crimson scythe was gripped in Lilith’s hand, its bloody aura enveloping the entire room.
And atop that scythe, an extremely bizarre eye was continuously rotating.
“Awaken, offering.”
A chilling voice slowly emanated from the scythe as Lilith’s body began to move, wielding the massive scythe as she slowly approached Alicia, looking as if she wanted to chop Alicia into pieces.
But unlike the movements of Lilith’s body, her face bore an expression of despair and sadness.
“Alicia, please, save me…”
Tears slowly streamed down her cheeks, and the soft cries for help from the girl instantly reached Alicia’s ears.
“Understood.”
Withdrawing the sword from its sheath, Alicia immediately assumed a combat stance, an immense Battle Qi surged forth, and her eyes were filled with an icy killing intent.
“Lilith, good child, don’t be afraid, you’ll be okay.”
