Chapter 1077 Why Would I Want To Eat you?

"...in a situation where a woman's given birth. The only possibilities are whether she'll give birth or not. If this were to repeat infinite times, won't the outcomes just be these two things? Won't it get repetitive then?"

Lizbeth was engrossed. A push from Lilith was all she needed to continue the argument.

Lith expected such a question. Taking a sip of tea and being as calm as ever, answered, "Sure, the outcome of childbirth would be just giving birth or not. A coin toss would also only show heads or tails. However, what about the story behind it?"

"Hmm?" Liz tilted her head to the side in curiosity.

Lith leaned forwards and continued, "In a lifetime, you would see multiple women giving birth. But each time, it can be different. One time you would see a woman who's in great distress, another time someone who's happy and easily pops twins, triplets, quintuplets, and so on. Their partner could also be a factor. One time you'll find a lady giving birth while her husband is present. Another time the woman's a widow or a single mother. Likewise..."

Lith explained the many possibilities that would come to a conclusion, baffling Lizbeth.

While it was true that a specific situation had specific outcomes, what if there were an infinite number of specific situations? Even if each specific scenario had one outcome, being infinite, the outcomes would result in infinity as well.

A coin toss would surely result in heads or tails, but there would be times when the coin could land on its edge or get lost in a drain or vanish in the void. This was a fantasy world where the possibilities were endless.

"...to see so many outcomes, you would need to live an infinite life. Though, yes, if you don't wish to see anything, are fed up with everything, then it is understandable why you wouldn't want to live. But you're still young. You haven't even scratched the surface yet you think the bottom of the ocean could already be predicted."

Lizbeth bit her lower lip and tapped her index finger on the table, contemplating and digesting what her Master had said to her.

It made sense. It made clear sense and there was nothing she could refute.

Her thinking that things would get repeated was not a good answer. It was logical yet it was wrong. An intelligent answer like that was beaten by a simple answer: "Oh, I just don't want to."

An argument won't start if there's a statement like that as it was a personal preference and not based upon any specific interpretation or information to further debate upon. Liz placed her palm on her chest and bowed to Lith. "It seems I have a lot to learn from Master."

Lith may not be the best at alchemy, but it went without a doubt that his skills were certainly above hers as of this moment. He had only just started but he was ahead of her! It was unfair, but she could now understand why.

Lith's comprehension skills, his logical thinking, aptitude, potential, ability to work hard, keep an open mind... all of such factors made her far superior than she ever was.

If Lizbeth was stuck to an opinion, it was hard to see things from other perspectives. She definitely had a lot to learn from her Master.

Lith smiled at Liz's gesture and went back to sip his tea. Lizbeth raised her head and then said, "Also, Master, since I am immortal and can't die naturally... If I am ever done with things in the future, you can definitely eat me."

Lilith chuckled softly and said, "Our clothes have gotten messy too. Let's get them changed while you have a small snack."

Lith smiled and before leaving with Lilith, turned to Lizbeth and said, "Study well. If you need anything, give me a call."

Lith and Lilith then left, leaving Lizbeth confused while Meryl looked at them with an agape mouth and a red face. 'These guys... truly bad...'

Meryl wasn't as dumb as Lizbeth. She knew all the underlying meanings behind Lith's words.

Turning to look at Lizbeth, Meryl found her appearing confused.

Lizbeth noticed her gaze and turned to her. Looking at her expression, she thought Meryl perhaps knew what was going on. "What's going on, Mer?"

Meryl seemed to be from the same generation as Lizbeth. Lith too was, but his intellect far exceeded hers, so Liz couldn't comprehend certain things. Calling each other nicknames was a form of companionship for her and Meryl both.

"Liz..." Meryl sighed and shook her head. "Bring your ear closer..."

Lizbeth wondered what was up and obediently leaned to the side, bringing her ear close to Meryl.

Meryl covered her ears with her hands and whispered a few things. Lizbeth's face visibly heated up after a few seconds and her lips began quivering.

She immediately got back to her seat and thought while hiding her face with her hands, 'M-m-master wanted to eat me... that way... w-w-what... how... why... isn't that place... dirty?'

Watching her uneven breaths, Lizbeth shook her head and thought, 'This poor child. How is she going to survive in this world with that level of intelligence? She can literally be kidnapped with a few bowls of porridge or alchemy resources. How dumb... tsk, tsk... it seems I need to step up for her. Fine then...'

Meryl turned into her cat form and jumped on Lizbeth's lap, startling her.

"Meow~!" Meryl said while raising her body and placing her paws on Lizbeth's chest.

She meant: "Don't worry child, I will protect you from here onwards."

Lizbeth mistook her, and thought that the cat wanted a hug, thereby hugging the kitty back. She then covered her face with Meryl's soft fur, burying her red face and continuing to be embarrassed.

Meryl thought that the child had understood her emotions. She rubbed her face on her and thought, 'Yes, yes, don't worry. Big sister here will protect you. Leave it to her!'

And thus, this day marked the long friendship between an orange cat and a green-haired human. One swore to protect the other while the other let her fantasies run wild and later rushed to the washroom to change her underwear.
