Chapter 1060 Lith In His Rebellious Phase

Chapter 1060 Lith In His Rebellious Phase

"Huuuu... so refreshing!"

Lizbeth stretched her hands over her head and basked in the glory of the morning sun in a field full of colorful herbs that reached her waist.

Two steps behind her was Lith, casting a shadow over her with his towering figure.

Since nobody could take her responsibility, Lith had to do it himself.

Currently, in the herb field, Liz was like a fish in water. She was running around, sniffing many different types of herbs, and even right away eating some. It was her happy place as there were a lot of materials available for her research.

"Haha! Look! Look! God—"

Swissssshhhhh!

Lizbeth's sentence was cut off as a scorching breeze blew past her.

In the next instant, she could hear crackling noises and smell smoke.

"Huh?" Turning around, she saw the herbs in the field burning.

"Huh?Huh?HUUUUHH?? God, why—"

Swissssshhhhh!

"Nooooooo!"

Lizbeth cried out and willed the Water element in the surroundings to douse the flames.

The fire was gone but the herbs nearby had been burnt to crisp.

Lizbeth turned back to look at Lith and asked ruefully, "Why would you do that?"

With a neutral expression on his face, Lith said calmly, "Did I not tell you? If you call me God again, there will be consequences. Stick to calling me Master."

Lizbeth knitted her brows. An annoyed look formed on her cute face.

"I did tell you too that I can't do that."

Lith crossed his arms. "And why is that?"

"Because..." Liz fidgeted and carefully considered her next set of words.

The pause was long and she did not have the right words to say yet.

"Because what?" Lith pushed her to speak.

Liz twirled her finger around her lush green hair and looked down, gently biting her lower lip.

"Because..."

Her voice was soft and the tone was low.

"Hm?" Lith felt something was off. He walked close to her and placed his hand on her shoulders, startling her.

"Eikkk!" Liz jumped in fright, but Lith held her in place and didn't let her run away.

"Speak. What's causing you to not refer to me that?"

"Um... it's..." Liz began fidgeting again.

This time, the pause wasn't for long as she turned to look up at Lith and continued, "Do you promise that you won't be mad?"

"Okay," Lith agreed without thinking much. If this harmless girl could make him mad, then he really should give up on cultivation as a whole.

Getting provoked easily or having intense emotional changes was a sign of weakness. As cultivators progressed, they would become calm as a still lake and was the reason why they appeared emotionless to everyone.

They weren't emotionless. They just knew how to better stabilize their emotions and keep calm.

Looking at Lith agree, Lizbeth heaved a relieved sigh. She did not doubt Lith's promise as she looked up to him as a God.

Used to such reactions already, Lith ignored her and injected his spiritual power into a teleportation artifact.

The Space around him bent and sucked him in along with Lizbeth.

The next instant, in front of Lith was a familiar rooftop, a familiar night sky, and a familiar crimson-silver moon.

He was back in the castle and stood at the highest rooftop of it that had a complete unhindered view of the area around them.

The mist-covered Lake of Bewitchment, the rows of dark roses lined in the Dark Rose Forest's boundary, the cobblestone pavement leading towards Evernight City...

The view couldn't get any better than this.

Lizbeth froze in her spot the moment she arrived here.

Looking at her, Lith asked, "Beautiful, isn't it?"

He thought she was shocked by the beauty of this place and thus remained frozen in her spot.

Sniff... sniff...

"Huh? There's such a strong medicinal smell here..."

"What?"

Lith couldn't be any more wrong.

Lizbeth's keen sense of acquired smell for alchemy related things shot up and made her freeze due to how strong it was. She had never smelled something this potent.

As if a switch had been flipped within her, she ignored Lith and began running towards the source of smell.

Lith extended his wings out and flapped them, following her from behind while being one foot above the ground.

Despite it being her first time in the castle, Lizbeth was running in the hallways as if she knew this place like the back of her hand.

"Your Highness."

The maids that saw Lith bowed and greeted him in the hallways. Lith gave them a curt nod and continued to follow Lizbeth.

A few minutes later.

A silverhead, leaning on a pillar, could be seen staring at Lith's direction. She was smiling and waving at him.

Lizbeth's brain did not register anyone. Not even the most beautiful lady in the universe leaning by the pillar in the hallway.

She was focused competing on the medicinal smell and was running almost on instinct.

"Hi baby—"

As Lith neared her, Lilith did the usual greeting, but was interrupted as Lith kissed her forehead while flying.

It was just a peck as Lith went past her in the next instant.

Waving his hand, Lith said, "I'll see you in a bit, mom. A little busy right now."

Lilith stood there with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

Qingyue walked beside her, and like the loyal and amazing maid she was, presented her Madam a box of tissues, in case she wanted to wipe her tears.

"Sniff..."

Lilith took a tissue out of the box and wiped her eyes that had fake tears.

"...my baby... he's... he's now in his rebellious phase. Even going so far to ignore his mama for someone he met just a while ago."

Qingyue, with a neutral look on her face, nodded slightly and said in a monotonous voice, "His Highness is undergoing puberty. The day's not far when he'll become an adult. I suppose he'll start addressing Madam as respected mother by then."

"Nooooooooo!"

.....

A/N: 'Lizbeth' is used when it's the narrator's pov. Through Lith's or others' pov, it's 'Liz'. The changes are subtle, but in case you're wondering why in some places it's written as Liz and not Lizbeth — that's your answer.
