Chapter 1059 Meryl's Cocaine

Wrapping up everything, Lith was back at the Inn with Mayzin.

Entering their room, he saw the green-haired Lizbeth sitting by the study table, scribbling something on a piece of paper; the ginger-haired Meryl resting her head on Fei's lap as she sat on the edge of the bed, and lastly Sylvia reading something on her phone with Zen sleeping on her lap.

The atmosphere in this room was serene and could make anyone feel comfortable.

Lith's arrival was immediately sensed by Lizbeth, who put her quill down and turned to look at him.

Watching Lith's figure, her face blossomed like radiating jasmine.

"God!"

She immediately got down on her knees after saying so, about to prostrate and sing praises of Lith.

Lith sighed and snapped his fingers, making the elemental energies beneath Lizbeth fluctuate and lift her up.

"Eh?" Taken by surprise, she tried to resist the pressure, but could not.

Snap!

With another snap, a golden rope made of pure Light elemental energy bound Lizbeth, making her unable to move.

The commotion caused the sleeping Meryl to wake up and be on high alert. Once she sensed Lith, her gaze fell on his halo and made her further flustered.

This time however, the reaction wasn't as strong as before. Fei had repeatedly told her that her Master was not a bad man, and was someone she could trust completely.

Fei had also told her how Lith had saved her. If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't be alive anymore. This placed Meryl in a dilemma as she really liked Fei.

Fei was one of the warmest people she had ever met. And now that she even became her Master, Meryl knew just how capable and amazing she was.

If she did not exist, then in this world...

Meryl dared not think and quickly put away those thoughts. She agreed with Fei on doing her best to not avoid Lith.

Right now, although instinctively Meryl backed away, there was no hate within her eyes. She was still on guard and did not fully trust Lith like she did to Fei.

"God, why?"

Lizbeth's expression was turning rueful as she felt wronged. She didn't even get a chance to properly show her respect and was restrained prematurely. Was God angry at her lack of manners? But he was the one that bound her and didn't give her a chance to redeem her in the first place!

Looking at Liz's twinkling droopy eyes, Lith had a general idea as to what she may be thinking. He sighed and walked in front of her.

"Liz, I am not a God, so stop calling me that."

"What? How can God not be God?"

Although smart, Lizbeth's common sense was worse than a toddler's when trying to comprehend things related to Lith. Her argument was that one could not understand God even if one spent their whole life. Thus, it was better to submit to them and bask in their grace!

Trying to comprehend a lunatic's way of life was akin to banging one's head on a wall. It was better left untouched.

Lith rubbed his temples and looked around. "Who here can smack some sense into this girl?"

"Oh. That type of work." He understood now. His maids worked to serve only him. And the work area was quite broad as the maids would need to help each other as well time to time.

"Master will use her time powers?" Meryl hugged Fei's arm from the side and asked with visible enthusiasm and curiosity.

Fei turned to look at her. Her golden eyes tried to understand why this child was so enthusiastic when present around her. It's not like having time powers was an uncommon thing in this world.

"If you think I'll take you along to show you my work, I may have to disappoint you." Fei said to Meryl, making her dejected.

"Master, why?" Meryl felt wronged. "Your disciple has been good this whole time. I've finished all the tasks you've asked me to do. Why can't I tag along?"

Being around Fei made Meryl happy. If she was a cat, then Fei was her catnip. If she was a human, then Fei was her cocaine. That's how pleasant and addictive it felt to a being sensitive to purity like Meryl.

If Fei was considered cocaine, then Lizbeth was probably LSD, a close second. Meryl did like being around her, but it did not give her the similar pleasant feeling like Fei.

In the drug analogy, someone like Lith was a bitter medicinal drug. It was a long way before Meryl would start clinging to him like she did to Fei.

Meryl's expressions were pure and innocent. Fei couldn't bring herself to scold her. She rubbed her head and said, "The person I am going to meet, you would not like her. She's a Devil. You are going to end up puking, so it's better if you stay with Liz."

"..."

Meryl wanted to retort, but found herself unable to in front of factual logic. Her Master was right. She might really puke if she met someone like a Devil who was filled with negative energy.

Knowing how thoughtful her Master was for her, Meryl felt warm. She hugged Fei's arm tightly as if it was a treasure she would never let go.

With Fei being busy, the only one who could help fix Liz was the platinum-haired beauty in maid outfit, sitting with a puppy on her lap.

"Sylvia..."

Lith called her out, but got a head shake in response from her.

"I can't, Master. New gates are opening around the world, I have to venture into them for mine as well as Zen's growth."

Lith heaved a sigh. Even Sylvia was busy.

He turned back to look at Liz and wondered what he should do about her.

Taking a step close to her, Lith saw a certain someone's reflection on Liz's glasses.

Turning around, he saw a purple-haired beauty, standing by the doorframe.

"Ah, right. Aunt, can you—"

"No. I am going with Sylvia to explore those gates and cultivate. My ascension is near, I've got no time to waste."

Mayzin flat out rejected him.

Time was tight for everyone present. With the world being unsealed, the density of elemental energy and the laws in the world were so abundant, they were all itching to ascend as fast as possible.

For now, Mayzin's job to teach Lith was done. She was free to do whatever she wanted until Lith ascended to Emperor Rank, where he might or might not need her help again.

Everyone in the room parted ways with Lith, soon leaving the Inn and making him, Meryl, Lizbeth be the only ones around.

Putting on a pondering expression while staring at Liz, Lith thought, 'Really... what should I do about her?'
