Chapter 475 Can’t Cultivate
A month pa.s.sed.
Royal Castle, Nightingale.
"What!? He can"t cultivate!?"
The ladies were sitting around a round table in the courtyard, having their afternoon tea together with Lith and Lucy was the one to speak in shock as Lilith gave some devastating news.
"That"s right, dear. He cannot." Lilith nodded and said while sipping her tea calmly.
Lucy was about to question further when Emilia, sitting beside her, placed her hand on Lucy"s shoulder and said gently, "calm down, Lucy. It isn"t permanent."
Lilith nodded and added, "that"s right. He cannot think about cultivation until he"s at least a hundred years old."
Lith, Lilith, and the other wives were having a discussion on Lith"s cultivation.
Lith had enjoyed his time with his mother for a whole month in the beastkin kingdom and was now back in Nightingale.
It was time to get into work mode but before delving inside that, Lith decided to spend some time with his wives and was now here.
"But mom–"
"My dear… try to understand, it"s a necessity. His cultivation was too fast and if he tries to cultivate further, his head or soul might explode due to the excess information." Lilith said calmly.
Lith had skipped many steps and was now an immortal at just the age of twenty-one. It was both a good and a bad thing.
Good thing as he was a genius not found elsewhere and bad because he would need to wait until he was a hundred years old.
The most elite children like Ralph and Dennis would usually become Saints anywhere from a hundred to a hundred and fifty years of age and it was all done step by step by solidifying their foundation.
Lith, although son of G.o.d, still had to solidify his foundation before ascending to higher realms. He hadn"t experienced anything that might occur in Rank 9 and Half Saint Rank and he also needs to fully explore the Saint Rank.
Before understanding these realms deeply, he cannot ascend to a higher realm.
Lith"s mental capacity physically cannot handle the information of a higher realm at such a young age.
The mental capacity was directly related to the age of a person. The older the age, the higher is the mental capacity.
If Lith tried to store excess information, his head was bound to explode and if there was more pressure, chances are, his soul would take a toll and explode.
Lilith didn"t want Lith to risk his health in pursuit of cultivation. His life mattered more than this prowess to Lilith.
Lith was calmly listening to the debate without interjecting. He could understand the reasons of his mother and also the concerns of his wives.
Although Lith needed to get stronger quickly, he wasn"t a brainless person to not understand his mother"s advice and go against her.
Lilith was the person who would always want the best for him and he knew about it. If she said not to cultivate, then it meant he mustn"t cultivate.
Lith fully trusted his mother without any hints of doubt in his mind or heart.
But, though it meant he won"t be able to cultivate, that doesn"t mean he would not find a way to get around this situation.
Lith would always be on the lookout for a solution to this problem and once he finds it, he would once again get back to cultivating.
Cultivation was something that took years of time. One couldn"t just become an immortal in a day and it took years of hard work and boring meditation to ascend to a higher realm.
Now that Lith was an immortal, a hundred years didn"t feel too long and he was fine with not cultivating for a while.
He was anyway going to focus on fulfilling his past life"s regret in the coming nineteen years and becoming rich. Now that he was told he couldn"t cultivate, he would focus more on that and not cultivating also meant that Lith would have more time to spend with his wives.
Meanwhile, the ladies were shocked by Lilith"s words but the experienced ones soon became calm as they realized that having heads explode, getting crippled, or simply having souls destroyed was a common occurrence in the world.
Many were in pursuit of the cultivation peak and this was a tough path to walk on. People were bound to die in its pursuit and those that were fine with having a never ending lifespan simply stopped their pursuit of a higher realm when they reached the Saint Rank.
Being a Saint Rank was guaranteed immortality and one wouldn"t die of old age or lifespan exhaustion. Many in the world thus choose to stop cultivating once they reach this realm and enjoy their time in this world and live freely like normal beings.
Lith however wasn"t stopping because he was tired, he was stopping with cultivation because he had no choice, such were the thoughts of the ladies and they became calm.
The inexperienced ones, mainly Lucy and Alexandra were worry struck and frowning.
Arya, looking at the faces of the two, said while looking at them, "Stop with the worries, you two. It"s just temporary. Or do you rather want him crippled or dead?"
"No! No! No!" Alexandra and Lucy immediately panicked and shook their heads furiously as they heard this question from Arya.
"I am just worried that he"ll be left behind by others and won"t be able to become the youngest person to achieve a breakthrough in higher realms anymore." Lucy put out her thoughts.
"Me too." Alexandra added while nodding her head.
"Well… you do know that the higher the realm, the vast is the difference in age, right? He has plenty of time and can still be the youngest even if he doesn"t cultivate for the coming 80 years." Emilia answered this time.
Lilith was quiet and so was Lith. They both let the four discuss things and just listened.
Lucy thought about but before her, Alexandra answered, "I don"t understand much of what"s going on but I"ll say this:"
She then looked at Lith and continued, "darling must do the things that would keep him healthy and happy."
Lith smiled as he heard that and the other ladies did as well.
Lucy, listening to this, let go of her concerns and nodded in agreement.
Alexandra was right, his health mattered more than such stupid t.i.tles of being the youngest to reach higher realms.
Lith who was smiling, had the corner of his mouth curve up into a smirk and looking at Alexandra, he said,
"Can I do you then? I"ll be very happy."
Lilith and Arya chuckled as they heard this and Emilia and Lucy"s brain was still trying to process what was happening and was stuck.
Meanwhile, Alexandra"s brain worked really well in matters concerning Lith and she said with a big smile, "darling can do me whenever. No need to ask."
"Oh." Lucy finally understood and became slightly embarra.s.sed as her brother said such shameless things in front of everyone.
While Emilia was still trying to understand what the two were talking about doing.
Arya, sitting beside Emilia, could tell that Emilia didn"t understand these naughty lines. This Angel was too innocent to be among the vampires, but being her best friend and now her sister as well, of course Arya wasn"t going to simply let her be confused.
Arya was a good sister and it was her duty to not keep Emilia in the dark, wasn"t it?
Arya leaned close to Emilia"s ears and whispered a few things.
Emilia, finally understanding the things, had her cheeks flush red and said in realisation,
"Oh…"
"How can they talk like this when everyone"s around!?" Emilia couldn"t help but think.
"Sh-Shameless…"
Clearly, the Seraphim was too innocent to be around the vampires.
Lith, looking at the Alexandra, said with a smile, "I would"ve loved to take up on this offer, wifey, but I must hurry up and leave for Shiroi Neko, Ralph and Dennis are waiting for me there."
Alexandra"s lips curved into a sad smile and she sat quietly on her chair having the same expression as a child that was refused to be given her favourite snack.
Looking at her, Lith thought he mustn"t be like this.
"Alright, alright, no need to be sad like this. Maybe a quickie won"t hurt, would it?"
pA(nd)A no ve1 Alexandra"s expression lit up and she said with a smile, "mhm, mhm, it definitely won"t!"
She got up from her chair and walked towards Lith. Holding his hand, she said, "let"s go get it done, darling!"
"Such hurry…" Lith chuckled.
"Hey! I want a quickie too!" Arya interjected.
"No, big sis. Not before me! Darling is mine for now!" Alexandra wasn"t going to share Lith right now by any means, even if it was Arya, her sister and also her caretaker.
"I-I want it too!" Lucy was embarra.s.sed to say this but being around her mother, brother, and Arya for so long, she could at least say this much.
As for Emilia, she was simply sitting there with a flushed face and didn"t say anything.
She wished she had the guts to say this as well but being how she was, it was definitely not going to happen anytime soon.
Looking at everyone, Lith thought to himself, "I need to satisfy all the ladies before I leave it seems. Welp, can"t help it. These cuties are too lovable to simply ignore and leave."
Lith got up as he thought that and pulled Alexandra in his embrace.
Alexandra was running to hurry up and take Lith away but was suddenly taken in his embrace.
Being touched by him and now having his whole body touch hers, Alexandra"s arousal piqued and she got turned on.
"Darling…" Alexandra looked Lith in the eyes and said with a hot breath.
Lith simply smiled and gave Alexandra a kiss on her forehead. "One second, I"ll be back to you."
Alexandra"s face flushed as Lith did this gesture and if it was an anime, it would appear as if there was steam coming out of her head.
Alexandra didn"t say anything and hugged Lith tightly as he told her to wait.
Lith looked at his other ladies and said with a smile, "I might be away for a while, it won"t hurt to spend a few minutes with everyone. Be in your rooms, wifeys, I"ll be there in a bit."
