Chapter 860 Successfully Manipulating A Kid

Another month passed by.

It had been so many days since Lith was together with the green-haired kid that by now, this little creature was used to his presence and had begun liking it.

By now, there was no suspicion left against this kid that Lith had, for everything was confirmed with proof.

This chubby kid definitely belonged to the enemy camp—the demons. He had been consistently trying to check what the people here had been up to and tried to either run away or establish a connection with the demons.

Lith wanted to believe that this kid was a powerhouse, but with how the kid acted, which was just like a normal child, Lith could not properly guess.

There was a lot of immaturity expressed by the kid and for some reason, he also made a 'baat' sound whenever he was annoyed, frustrated, or just too stimulated.

Lith was starting to have fun poking this guy as he would make such funny sounds. He also seemed cute overall and reminded Lith of Ren.

That fluffy golden boy was probably being hugged to death by his three mothers or being used by Alea for some experiments.

Remembering all of them made Lith homesick, but nothing could be done until the war here was over and benefits had been accumulated.

Staying for such a long period of time, Lith had learnt by now that his physique was getting much stronger than ever.

When he had left this world to meet Iki and felt magic for the first time in a while, a weird sensation brushed all over him.

Lith felt empty and his body had gotten really light. He found himself able to suck up more elemental energy and become strong overall.

The magic attacks had also seen a boost in power and there was not a single disadvantage that could be seen.

Previously, back in his own world, when Lith had gotten too strong in his 20s, his body felt as if it would burst apart any minute.

Due to that, he had to go into a deep slumber for many decades and only then did such a feeling die down.

Lith had understood then that cultivation could not be rushed and he could not get stronger really fast.

A body was like a vessel while the soul and magic were like water.

If Lith cultivated fast, the vessel would fill up fast and the water would overflow.

This overflow meant death and it was not a good thing.

The vessel's growth and the influx of water within it had to have a proper balance otherwise one would just sprint to their own grave.

Lith couldn't help it when he was in his world in regards to magic. His cultivation was fast because he had access to all the resources in the world followed by the fact that he was a literal genius.

Lith found knowledge in every little thing and his comprehension was top notch, meaning there was rapid progress in the magic department.

His body had always been a limiter, but spending over a year and two months in this world, Lith had made quite a lot of room for magic cultivation.

Lith believed that his body was ready to take on at least a few decades worth of cultivation. This was a big deal and something Lith felt happy about.

He didn't know for how long he was in this world, but everyday was a great day as his physique was only growing stronger.

In any case, the little kid here was a demon and couldn't be left alone. Thus, the babysitting was continuing on and Lith was barely getting any time to hangout with the new maids.

Meanwhile, the chubby green-haired kid, he was thinking, 'Mhm… This candy is good.'

The boy was sitting right on Lith's lap and eating candies given by him.

There was a meeting going on and Lith was addressing some issues that were needed to be taken care of.

This interaction was perfectly normal by now for both the kid and Lith.

At the start the kid hated it, but the pampering got the best of him and he just couldn't resist it anymore.

To Lith, this chubby kid seemed cute and he saw him no less than a young toddler who had to be pampered. Lith's brain completely ignored the fact that it could be a person older than him within the child's body.

The reason for such an ignorance was due to his species' inherent ability of being biologically superior to everyone else.

Vampires were the apex forms of life. Their intelligence, physique, connection to elements, abilities, and everything else overall was far superior than any other species in existence.

As they were higher life forms, they unconsciously thought of all other species as harmless.

It was the equivalent of an interaction between a man and a dog. The man would find the dog cute and while being around it, pamper it without questions asked.

There was no afterthought to it or any manipulation or selfishness, just the innate trait of wanting to provide something to the lesser species due to them being superior.

This demon on his lap, who was acting immature and looked like a little kid was someone Lith deemed harmless after spending so much time with.

It was this fact that made him pamper the guy more and as for the demon, since he was a kid and his mind was thinking like a kid, his tendency leaned more towards wanting to get pampered and spoiled.

The kid felt safe in Lith's embrace and was also getting fed tasty candies, what more could he ask for?

Both were unaware of the subconscious acts their minds were performing, but as it was all harmless, they continued on with it.

Meanwhile, the kid, while eating candies, thought to himself, 'They are discussing war strategies. Pfft… How laughable are they? If I—Ohhh… This orange flavor is much better!'

The kid's focus shifted to the orange colored candy he was holding. He then looked down at his basket full of candies and thought, 'Oof! There's only three such candies in the basket!'

Shaking his head and then thinking of distracting himself from the sadness of knowing he only had three orange candies, the kid went back to focusing on the war strategies.

Looking at the people discussing stupid stuff, the kid wanted to scold them, but then Lith chimed in and said a few statements that made the kid surprised and think, 'Damn. Big bro's not bad at all.'

Lith had successfully manipulated the kid into calling him big brother. It had been done so skillfully that even in his thoughts, the kid called him that.

The discussion went on for a while and after finding half the basket of candies and getting sugar rush, the chubby kid felt really tired and leaned back on Lith's body.

The kid then began napping and in no time, a bit of drool could be seen coming out of the corner of his mouth.

Lith looked at it and feeling a bit surprised, thought, 'Is this really a powerhouse?'
