The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 356: An Absent-Minded Date

When Li woke up from his coma, he found his arms felt heavy.

I opened my eyes and looked to the side, and saw Lilith's beautiful sleeping face right in front of me.

Lilith noticed Li's gaze, her eyelashes trembled, and she pretended to be asleep, which made Li laugh.

"Okay, go back to your room and clean up. It's time to get up."

Last night, Li turned on the magic lamp and silently wrote a solution to the problem.

As he was writing, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.

It should be Lilith who dragged herself onto the bed, and then this little bitch squeezed in.

Li has very complicated feelings towards Lilith.

That time in the dream world, Lilith gave a lot for Li, but in the end she got nothing.

Now that he's here, Li really wants Lilith to live a peaceful life.

However, if she really explained her thoughts to Lilith, her life would lose stability.

What Li is doing now may lead to unimaginable dangers at any time.

"Brother Li..."

Lilith seemed to have had a dream, and when she woke up she looked dazed.

The Lilith who was smiling sweetly last night was gone. She threw herself into Li's arms, her body shaking unconsciously.

"Brother Li! I just want to stay by your side like now."

Li didn't know what happened to Lilith suddenly, but she was not in a good state, so Li immediately comforted her carefully.

"Don't worry Lilith, as long as I'm here, I won't abandon you."

"…But you left me in the North and came to the capital alone!"

Li was pinched hard by Lilith. Li had no way to refute and could only endure it silently.

"Brother Li, what you are doing now is too dangerous. Let go. Can't we find a quiet place and live quietly?"

The biggest reason why Lilith rushed to the capital from the north was because of the uneasiness in her heart.

Ever since Lian took a bunch of girls to seek refuge in the North, Lilith has been worried about Li.

Li was alone in the royal capital, facing the most violent malice in the entire kingdom. Even if Li had the ability to resurrect, Lilith could not be completely at ease.

"I am not alone. Xiaoli is here with me."

Xiaoli brought breakfast to the table and considerately set the table for Li and Lilith.

"What's the use of Xiaoli? What else can she do besides cooking for you?"

“…I can also do laundry.”

"Yes, yes, you are amazing, a competent maid~"

Lilith said bad things about Xiaoli in front of her, but Xiaoli didn't get angry at all.

Li felt very strange about their attitude.

"Didn't you guys always fight when you met before? You're so quiet this time."

"That's what we agreed on. I'm the guest today. No matter what I do, Xiaoli can't be angry~"

"Oh, your relationship is quite interesting."

Lilith rolled her eyes at Li and thought, they were all doing this for Li!

"Brother Li, you really don't want to consider it?"

"What to consider?"

Li was competing with the Vegetable and Meat Bun and casually replied to Lilith.

Lilith's eyes dimmed as she brought up the topic of the bedroom again.

"Brother Li, let it all go. I have a bad feeling."

Li's current position is too dangerous. Although people who are not in the know do not understand that the rise of the North was caused by Li, there are many people who know the inside story.

Li is now the driving force behind the wave of the times, and he will be caught up in the wave if he is not careful.

When the time comes, you will die and all the good things you have will be lost.

"I heard that there will be a war between the North and the Kingdom. I hate fighting among my own people. Brother Li, can't we avoid it?"

Lilith was once an innocent vampire. She lived a happy life with the company of her father and mother.

However, for some unknown reason, the vampire community suddenly became noisy.

The two factions quarreled fiercely, and even to the point of harming each other and even killing people.

Lilith's peaceful and harmonious life was destroyed, and she was taken by her mother to the north to live with her best friend.

At that time, Lilith had tasted all kinds of suffering in life, and she never wanted to face that again.

"Brother Li, our life is already good now. We have finally achieved peace. Do we have to wait for the day when it will become chaotic again?"

"…Lilith, you have to know that there are many things that we cannot decide. If you want to protect yourself in the chaos, it is safest to be the one at the helm."

With the experience of building the Northland, Li developed more leadership qualities.

Li, who knows a lot of information and history, knows very well how terrible troubled times are.

Even if you find refuge in a remote corner, when the storm comes, it will destroy the shelter you have worked so hard to build.

"Let's eat. Afterwards, I'll take you to the opera. Although other things in the capital are hard to say, the opera is of high quality."

Lilith, whose thoughts of escape were suppressed by Li, had no choice but to accept this decision.

According to Li's arrangement, the two of them took another long walk around the royal capital.

Today's stroll was no longer as pleasant as yesterday. Lilith was worried and no matter how Li comforted her, she couldn't calm down.

The opera in this world is not as grand as that on Earth.

In Li's opinion, the performance on stage is more appropriately called a comedy with singing.

In order to make the nobles laugh, the actors tried their best to give various wonderful performances.

A drama with a plot that ends with the prince and princess living happily ever after.

After the drama, the stage is handed over to the circus, with all kinds of eye-opening or eye-dazzling events that are too numerous to watch.

"The man who put his head into the lion's mouth is really brave!"

Li recalled a performance that was impossible to see on Earth, and wondered what would happen if the lion sneezed.

Having said that, Li was still quite surprised that there were lions in this world.

“…Brother Li, I’m going to buy something over there!”

After watching the show, Lilith pointed to the stall outside the theater and wanted to buy some snacks.

Most of the snacks here are wild fruits, and those that can be sold in this season are not good things.

Li Gang was about to say that the restaurant had better fresh fruits on offer when he saw Lilith running away.

Li touched his head and thought that today's date was ruined.

Li was not satisfied with his performance on the date as his female companion was not in good shape throughout the whole process.

Li tried his best to calm Lilith down, but to no avail.

Li didn't know that after running away, Lilith did not squeeze into the crowd to buy things.

Lilith moved away from sight and came to a deserted corner at the edge of the theater.

"Come out! I can smell the scent you left behind!"

Lilith shouted into the empty space and soon got a response.

Two mysterious men in cloaks appeared from the corner.

"So it's the child of that stupid woman Lilyhem. You guys finally managed to escape from the capital, why are you coming back?!"

The cloaked man in the lead just sniffed the air and called out Lilith's identity.

Lilith's body was filled with blood and her fangs were bared from her mouth.

Upon seeing this, the cloaked man took off his cloak, revealing a face with the same fangs.
