Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 344 21 years old

Chapter 344 21 years old
Three years passed.
Lith was now 21 years old. After three long years of cultivating, assassinating, and meditating, he was finally going to ascend to Rank 9. He was very excited for this as he knew his hard work had finally paid off.
He could feel his ascension nearing and he was about to cultivate even further and break through when he felt that it wasn't a good idea. He thought of taking a break for a few days and he could continue after that.
Lith opened his eyes and his amethyst purple eyes had a completely different look in it than before. His face was the same and so was his demeanor. All the childishness was gone from his face, his jawline became sharper and there was not even an ounce of baby fat on his face left. He now looked like a serious, cold, and emotionless guy.
Lith got up from the pedestal and stretched his neck as he did so. His silver hair had become longer and it now almost reached his waist. He had also grown taller and was now at a whopping 195 cm.
Though that was the case, as Lilith, his mother, walked closer to him, he noticed that she was still taller than him.
Lilith looked at Lith's face and chuckled. She could tell what he was thinking. "Still thinking of why mama is taller?"
Lith turned his head slightly up and said, "Yes."
His voice had become deeper and in no way did he sound like his previous self. Puberty hit Lith like a truck and he had grown into a fully fledged handsome man. He was so handsome that if he called himself as the 2nd most handsome person in the world, there would not be anyone daring enough to call themselves as 1st.
Lilith closed in on Lith and gave him a big hug. She placed his head on her chest and put her chin on his head.
"Can you tell why?"
Lith had no idea.
"No." He said in his deep voice.
"Fufufu, it's because mama wants to be tall enough to hug you like this and be the bigger spoon while cuddling. It's also because I don't want my kids to fight for a spot to hug their mama. There's plenty of space for you two to hug me, that's why mama is so tall." Lilith explained.
Hearing this, Lith was a bit dumbfounded. He rolled his eyes and thought that his mother's thinking sure was a bit different than others.
The revered Vampire Queen was 200 cm tall just because she wanted to be big enough to hug both her kids. What logic was this? People would laugh when they would hear this; given that they did not care about their lives.
Letting aside all such thoughts, Lith hugged Lilith back. It's been a while since he felt her warmth. He had been running around, doing assassinations and what not and when he was back in the cave, he just meditated. There was no rest in between.
Lilith kissed Lith's head from above and caressed his back.
Noticing his mother's caresses, Lith realized that she was still treating him like a small baby. He was about to say to her that he wasn't a small baby like before but then he realized that saying this to his mother would make him appear immature.
He knew he had to take a different approach to make his mother realize that he was a man now. But on another thought, it wasn't bad to get spoiled like this. He only had one person in this world who could spoil him like this, it was his mother. If he took away this thing from her, he would end up having no one to spoil him.
'I definitely am a man, I don't need to prove this to anyone. But more than being a man, I am a man of culture– ahem, I mean, I am a man who got his priorities straight. Fuck the people who think getting spoiled by your own mother despite being grown up is a shitty thing.'
'My mother is the Vampire Queen, a being who rules over billions of people and a big chunk of land in this world. She only has two people to spoil, one is my sister and the other is me. I am not going to take this right away from her.'
Lith soon got into his thoughts again and zoned out.
Lilith noticed this and sighed. It seems her baby's habit of overthinking hasn't gone despite her and Lucy telling him so many times to not do that. But whatever, she let him be in his embrace and patted his back.
A while later, Lith snapped out of his thoughts and the first thing he saw was his mother's beautiful neck. Without thinking of anything, he bit onto it and sucked her blood.
Lilith was surprised to see him do that but she smiled and kept patting his back.
Lith fell asleep after drinking a good amount of his mother's blood. He was asleep while hugging her and Lilith chuckled, noticing this. She took out a big bed from her ring and slept with Lith on it.
While Lith was busy sleeping, the underworld was in shock. They were shocked to find out that there were two assassins with a success rate of 100%. It meant that whatever missions they took, they were always completed to perfection.
The missions these two assassins took weren't of low level either. They were all very high level ones in which the targets were always above Saint Rank.
There sure were a lot of assassins who could do such a thing but the records of these two assassins made the people understand that the two assassins were both new and just starting. They were definitely around Rank 9 or Half Saint Rank.
The records suggested that the assassin named Ray must be a mere Rank 7 when starting and now, he was definitely at Half Saint or Rank 9. The speed at which Ray broke through was astonishing to everybody and people became wary of him.
The other assassin was someone called Hope. It was rumoured that whenever this assassin went for the kill, they would end up making a very grotesque and deadly mess of their targets.
The people had no idea whether it was a male or female assassin and simply guessed who it could be.
While the underworld was discussing things…
Nine Roses Hotel, Nightingale.
A black-haired, red-eyed lady that appeared in her early 20s, walked inside the 100 storey tall hotel.
The lady was wearing light armoured clothes and had just a bit of her skin above her cleavage exposed. She was holding a double bladed sword in one of her hands as she walked inside. There was blood dripping down her sword as she walked in.
As soon as she got inside, the receptionist immediately hurried towards her and bowing, she said, "Miss Hope, please, this way."
