The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 197: Baby Birds Leave the Nest

Li returned home and waited silently for Lilith to come. After a long time, Lilith came to Li with a sweet smile.

"Brother Li, you are looking for me~"

Humph, Li won't be fooled anymore. Lilith is black when cut open. Her current image of a sweet girl is completely fake!

"Lilith, I...what happened to you? Did you get into a fight with someone?"

Li looked up and found that Lilith's hair was a little messy and her clothes were full of wrinkles.

Seeing that Li was paying attention to her situation, Lilith quickly straightened her clothes. She didn't want Li to see that she had just had an argument with Xiaoli and Theresa, and her hair was all red.

"Brother Li, I'm fine. I just had a fight with the sheep in the sheepfold."

"…That sheep must have worked hard. Never mind. I don't want to bother with your little thoughts. Go home and pack your luggage. We are going out for a trip."

"Oh~ Brother Li, do you want to elope with me?"

Seeing that Li had already packed his backpack, Lilith was full of curiosity.

"…We are on a business trip. We are going to treat the injured lord. This is a job my mother took on for us."

At first, Lilith didn't take it seriously. She didn't bother to pay attention to the lord here. Maybe if the news of the royal capital spread here, the lord would also call for the killing of vampires.

"There's money to be had. Just make the trip and I can give you at least thirty gold coins."

Li only felt a gust of wind in the room, and when he looked up again, Lilith was gone.

Li Zheng was puzzled when he saw Lilith flying back from the window.

Lilith changed into a simple outfit, a simple narrow-sleeved shirt and pants, which was very suitable for outdoor activities.

"…Didn't you tell me that you only had one set of clothes?"

“…I borrowed this from Xiaoli.”

Facing Lilith's disdainful look, Li scratched his head awkwardly. Xiaoli seemed to have worn similar clothes, but Li usually didn't pay much attention to it.

In this awkward atmosphere, Li and Lilith went out. Xiaoli was left at home by Li's mother. When she saw Li and Lilith off, she looked reluctant.

"Master, you must be careful of Miss Lilith. Her charm is hard to defend against."

"Xiao Li, I have never hurt you, how can you target me like this!"

Lilith screamed at Xiaoli when her plan was exposed. She had been hoping to have some ambiguous relationship with Li on the way, but after her plan was exposed, many of her tricks became useless.

"It is my duty as the head maid to protect the young master's chastity!"

Lilith was defeated by Xiaoli. She had never seen a servant like Xiaoli, who dared to teach the young master a lesson directly but also considered the young master's interests in everything.

After the two of them set off, Lilith began to chatter to Li.

"Brother Li, that Xiao Li is really too much. She is clearly a servant, but she dares to meddle in the affairs of the master's family. She is overstepping the boundaries and should be hanged according to the rules!"

"Okay Lilith, why are you making such a fuss with Xiaoli? She's just worried about me."

"Hmm? From what my brother said, you have a crush on Xiaoli?"

Facing Lilith's questioning, Li admitted it frankly.

"Xiao Li is my family."

"…What about me? I also want to be part of Li's family."

Lilith no longer worried about Xiaoli, she was just very envious of Xiaoli.

When Lilith was very young, she didn't have many friends. The vampires of her own race were busy competing with humans and rarely cared about the children in the race.

This caused the vampire children to grow up wildly, and they all learned to act like the vampire adults and play with people's hearts for fun.

A good girl like Lilith is ostracized among vampires. Others even laugh at her as a disgrace to the vampire clan because she is half human.

It was Li's appearance that was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating Lilith's dark childhood.

The little boy who was brought by her aunt praised Lilith for being as cute as a doll when they met for the first time.

Now that the boy has grown up, Lilith wants to restore their original relationship as soon as possible, but many things have changed.

Brother Li's attention is no longer focused on his family. He seems to be doing something big now. Lilith asked for a long time but couldn't get any specific information.

Lilith only felt that the distance between her and Brother Li was getting farther and farther.

If Li knew what Lilith was thinking, he would definitely burst out laughing.

Because even Li himself had not made a specific plan.

There are too many strange things in this world, and many experiences on Earth are useless, so much so that even Li's father and mother are not clear about Li's specific thoughts.

"Lilith, you are my family~"

Li's words were like a sharp arrow that pierced Lilith's heart. Lilith was convinced that Brother Li was a good man worthy of entrusting her life to.

After communicating for a while, both of them felt relaxed. This was also the first time they were away from their parents and walked outside.

Li and Lilith looked up and saw two baby birds leaving the nest and flying freely in the vast sky. This scene seemed to symbolize that they were going to bravely explore the world.

There was thick green grass under Li's feet and a fresh breeze blowing in his ears.

Without the waste pollution from the earth's industrial age, the sky here is so pure and the sunshine is so warm.

"Lilith, what do you think our future will be like?"

"Brother Li?"

"Lilith, have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to live?"

When Li asked this question, Lilith was stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, Lilith was surrounded by the affairs between the vampire family and humans. Lilith was deeply influenced by the things around her, so she never seriously thought about what she really wanted.

Even the fact that she liked Li was only because Li brought her more security. Lilith thought that with Li around, she would feel more relaxed.

"I haven't thought about it specifically. Brother Li, have you thought about it?"

"of course."

Li Ke has lived for several lifetimes and experienced life and death, so he has naturally thought about his own needs.

Putting aside the money, fame, fortune and power recognized by the world, Li now only wants one thing, that is freedom.

“I just want to be like now, with enough surplus to enjoy the breeze, the green grass under my feet, and no worries.”

If a person could live freely all his life, it would be really enviable.

"Of course, it's best to have a beautiful woman by your side~"

Li's sudden words caught Lilith off guard.

Lilith's face turned red. Brother Li was really good at deceiving girls.

"Brother Li, you are so bad~"

"Then do you like it?"

"Oh you're so annoying!"

Lilith quickened her pace and left Li behind. Li looked at the shy Lilith and followed her with a laugh.
