Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 399 Avelyn Is Concerned

"Are you into men?"
Ralph was stupefied as he heard that. How did his mother come to such conclusions and what even made her ask this?
Ralph looked back at her with seriousness on his face and replied, "No. My orientation is not in that way."
Avelyn sighed a breath of relief. All her worries were for naught it seems. She then asked,
"But… aren't you twenty-one now, sweetie? And you still haven't had sex with any woman. It concerns mother. The people from the branch families, the average age at which kids lose their virginity is around the time they just enter the academy. And then there's you…"
Avelyn was really concerned for her son. He was a lust demon like her, one of the highest order and on top of the demon chain, still he never used even a slight bit of his family powers. Was he even growing well? By his age, he should've had sex with at least a thousand women. But if not that, then the number should at least be in the hundreds.
But here Ralph was, the number being a solid zero. Avelyn couldn't understand her own son's mind.
Ralph looked at his mother without getting angry or annoyed and addressed to her concern,
"I do feel the family powers coursing through me everyday. But, I don't want to be restricted by these powers. I want to soar high up in the sky, mother. If I have sex once, it'll result in me doing it twice, then thrice, and so on and so forth. I don't want to get restricted to just having sex. I want to do other things as well."
Avelyn finally understood what was on Ralph's mind. She hugged him and put his head in between her boobs again.
"Oh you poor thing, you've got the wrong idea about it. Being a lust demon, you're the only type of demon who will never be restricted by lust. Lust demons have sex frequently to improve their own prowess. If you don't have sex, your growth would stagnate sooner or later."
"Sweetie, nothing will stop you from shooting for the skies, but you are just going to restrict yourself if you don't have sex sooner. You are going to head out now, right?"
"Mhm." Ralph simply hummed.
"Then, have sex before going out. Come, let's do it." Avelyn let go of Ralph's body and said while holding his face.
Ralph's face became slightly embarrassed but he coughed and said, "what do you mean 'let's do it', mother? I'll go do it alone with someone."
Avelyn knitted her brows as she heard this. "What someone? Who someone? Did you find a girlfriend?"
Ralph shook his head. "No, but it isn't difficult to find someone to have sex."
If the single virgins in the world heard this, they would come down running to whoop Ralph's butt for his comments.
"Why exactly do you want to find someone to have sex?" Avelyn asked with her brows slightly knitted. She was right here, his mother, the most beautiful demon after Lucifer, but he wanted to have sex with someone else? That felt so wrong to Avelyn.
Ralph didn't understand the meaning behind his mother's question. He simply repeated, "to have sex."
Avelyn sighed. She got up and holding Ralph's hand, she took him to the bed. She lied down on it and made him get on top of her.
"M-Mother?" Ralph was shocked! What was his mother trying to do!?
"Why are you so shocked? This should've happened sooner. It's already so late. I was waiting so much for you to make a move on me, but you never did. Now I have to do it myself." Avelyn hugged Ralph again and said.
"What? Wait, wait, wait. Mother, I can't do it with you." Ralph tried to resist.
"Huh? Why?" Avelyn was confused.
"Because you're my mother–"
"What nonsense are you spouting, sweetie? What are you? A human? You're a demon, a lust demon at that. Why are there morals coming into your mind? And also, this is completely normal." Avelyn reminded Ralph.
Ralph fell silent hearing it. She was right about that but the thing was, he wasn't feeling like having sex with anyone so soon.
"Mother, wait." Ralph got up from the bed and said.
He took a deep breath and continued, "I've got things to do. Once they are done, I'll do it."
Avelyn knitted her brows. She got up and said, "Ralph, do you not understand? The more you suppress the lust in you, the more you'll cause problems to your own body. You are a lust demon, you are meant to improve your strength by the means of this."
"The cheapest and the most popular dual cultivation manuals in the markets are written by a lust demon from one of our branch families. Though the technique and everything is below average in it, them writing books and people benefiting from it only shows how powerful the Asmodeus are with their methods and prowess."
"Those fools from branch families learnt so many things via these methods. You on the other hand are the direct descendant of the Sin of Lust, aka me, herself. You are meant to cultivate with these means, don't just shy away from it and suppress it."
Ralph didn't interrupt his mother and simply listened to her lecture. He knew this was bound to happen sooner or later as being a 21-year-old lust demon and still being a virgin was a sin in itself.
Not only that, he was actually bringing his family name down due to his deeds. No matter if he was a prodigy or not, if he didn't do the deed, people were bound to misunderstand a lot of things.
Avelyn stopped with her lecture and sighed. She got close to Ralph and placing both her hands on his face, she said gently, "My baby, please don't wait so long and get done with it. Your strength will only rise if you do it. You must've felt some stagnation in your cultivation recently, right?"
Ralph looked into his mother's eyes and nodded gently. She was right, he indeed felt like so.
Avelyn kissed Ralph's forehead and said, "I won't force you to do things you don't want to. The news of you still being green isn't out. In fact, nobody knows nothing about your progress. I've kept it well hidden. If you choose to be like this, mama will definitely protect you and support you. But still, my best advice would be to lose it as soon as you can."
Ralph took a deep breath and nodded again while looking his mother in the eyes. She really did everything she could in his best interests and always took care of him. Yet here he was, who did nothing for her to even make her proud.
It was a really shameful thing to not have done it even at this age, but Ralph actually didn't care about what others thought of his reputation. He was only slightly caring about it now because he had to think of his mother's and his family's reputation.
Though he particularly didn't hate the idea of having sex or things related to it, he simply loved the academics side and was soaked in it. But the more he thought about things, the more he understood that he had already learnt a lot of theory and what was needed to do was to implement it in his cultivation.
Ralph thus became determined to now do the practical side of things.
He said softly to his mother, "I'll do it, mother, you do not have to worry. But give me a bit of time. I want to test my new theories out and there's a war going on that'll serve as a great place to practice those things. If I am unable to break through the bottleneck even after the war ends and I return home, then I'll do everything you ask me to."
Avelyn became slightly dejected. She made a sad face and asked, "And if you break through your bottleneck?"
Ralph smiled lightly and said looking her in the eyes, "I'll still do it. I am a lust demon, after all. I shouldn't be holding onto my v card so much. It's as you mentioned, it's bad for my health."
"Whaa– really!?" Avelyn had stars in her eyes as her mouth opened in surprise and she asked.
Ralph nodded. "Yes."
"Then, you'll do it with mother, right?" Avelyn looked at Ralph and asked with a puppy face.
Ralph simply smiled and said, "Who knows? I have to leave now, please excuse me."
"Nooooo! Answer mother! Don't gooooo!" Avelyn cried out but Ralph had run away from the room already.
Avelyn became slightly sad again and she said to herself, "He doesn't even love his mama… sniff… sniff…"
Just as she said that, Ralph came back in the room hurriedly and ran towards Avelyn. He kissed her cheek and ran away again.
As he went away, a piece of paper flew in front of Avelyn.
Avelyn could stop Ralph if she wanted, but she let him go because she became happy with his kiss and forgot to capture him.
Her gaze fell on the paper flying in front of her and taking into her hand, she read it.
"Dear mother,
I'll be back in a few weeks and I don't know how long the war will be, but I'll be back only when it ends. Please take care of yourself and please don't worry too much about me.
Lots of love to you,
Your son,
Ralph."
Avelyn smiled and shook her head. Even when leaving in a hurry, he didn't forget to say his byes.
Avelyn was really proud and happy to have Ralph as her son. She sat in her place quietly for a while and just caressed her cheek where Ralph had kissed her.
'Okay, I can't just sit still. I'll contact a witch and get a live stream of the place Ralph is at war. If I am not wrong, the war he is joining should be in the Neutral Continent.' Avelyn went ahead to do her things and Ralph's room became empty.
…..
Shadow River Sect.
Lith was still in the courtyard. He took out his phone and called Noman.
While he did that…
High up in the sky above Lith, two people were standing.
These two were none other than Noman and Ruben.
One was a light blue-haired seraphim, while the other was a red-haired demon.
Noman's phone rang and as he looked at it, he saw Lith to be calling him. "Hmm? His Highness is calling me. I should probably go down."
"No, wait. We are watching over him in secret. If you go down, you'll blow up your cover." Ruben said.
"What watching over? We weren't even able to stop that guy who was taking the picture of His Highness." Noman sighed and said.
Ruben shook his head. "Wrong, it's not that we weren't able to, it's just that Madam ordered us to not go after him and leave him be."
"But that's something that can be really dangerous to His Highness, do you know?" Noman argued.
"I don't know. But Madam said not to follow so we should do that. Anyway, pick up the call." Ruben pointed at the phone and said.
Noman gave up arguing and picked up the call. From it, Lith's voice rang out,
"Hi, Noman."
"Greetings, Your Highness. How can I help?" Noman said in a gentle tone.
"Oh well, it's nothing much. Can you please go to the Dracula's and get Dennis from there? I want to have him join this war with me. Don't worry about the time, but if you can make it soon, it'll be much appreciated." Lith said in a polite manner.
He was always good to the servants.
"No problem, Your Highness. Is there anything else?"
"No. Alright, take care. I'll see you later then." Lith hung up after saying so.
Noman then turned to look at Ruben and before he could say anything, Ruben replied,
"Don't worry. I am watching over him. Now go quickly and do your job."
Noman nodded lightly and left while Ruben focused on Lith present below him and continued to guard him.
