The witch's expression had no change on it as Lith mentioned that. She still retained the same lifelessness in her eyes.
Looking at Lith, she asked, "You'll save my life and then enslave me forever? Is dying not better than this?"
Her words were to the point and not wrong. It was indeed better than dying than becoming someone's slave forever.
Lith looked at her and shook his head. "You won't be my slave. You're free to do whatever you want, but you'll always be under me and do whatever I ask you to do. In a way, you'll be bound to me forever but will retain everything that you normally would, when free."
Lith's words weren't understandable by the witch. She simply closed her eyes and thought of a few things. Then, she asked, "If I am your body, will you use my body too?"
"I don't touch anyone without consent and I don't plan on forcing myself on you, if that's what you're thinking. I have better things to do than that." Lith stated calmly.
He was a pervert, but not an extreme one who'd fuck any hole he finds. He had his beautiful wives and he was content with them.
The witch opened her eyes and gave Lith a look. She was finding things too hard to believe. It was too good to be true after all.
What would this guy gain from saving her? What would be his motive in saving her? Why isn't he outright killing her for harming someone of his clan?
There were far too many questions and even if a witch was dying, her intelligence was still the best among the rest.
That was the problem with extra smart people. They always thought there's some underlying agenda when in reality, Lith had no such thing in mind. He simply didn't want a person's potential to go to waste.
This woman could harm someone while sitting in a whole another continent and that too in the most unconventional way possible. She was using fate and destiny as her tools and not some elemental spells.
"Do whatever." The witch had no more energy within her. The suffering had lasted for far too many years and she wanted some rest right now.
Lith looked at her and activated his ability Destiny Seer.
This ability allowed him to see the threads of fate and to what destiny it was leading a person.
Ancient letters appeared in Lith's eyes and as the witch saw it, she widened her eyes in surprise.
"T-t-this…"
The letters in Lith's began spinning and he felt a sharp pain in his head. The person in front was far too powerful and this ability won't last even for a few seconds.
As Lith had expected, he could only see a few black threads ominously wrapped around the woman's heart. He couldn't see more than that.
One thing he did see was that there was a thread going out and in a certain direction.
It was probably connected to Fei, he thought.
The witch was too shocked to say anything as she saw Lith's ability. Before she could even ask, Lith said, "summon Fei."
Ruben nodded and in a few seconds, Fei was here.
Lith then activated his Destiny Seer ability again on her and found big chains with a lock wrapped around her chest and a certain inscription down at her lower abdomen.
Lith walked towards her and tried to hold the chains.
Fei didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't try to resist or run away. Lith was her master now and could do anything he wanted to her.
The witch was having a complicated reaction as she saw Lith and Fei in front of her.
Fei was the only person who could save her while Lith's ability, which was one of its kind, made the witch understand that he was someone of a really strong background.
Stronger than even her enemies. This meant that the witch was doomed from the get go when she was found out by these guys.
The lifelessness in her eyes took over the shock she felt and once again, she felt herself be in a hopeless situation.
Lith didn't see her reactions and getting close to Fei, tried to hold onto the chains wrapped around her chest.
He was unable to hold them.
Not a problem, thought Lith. He closed his eyes and went through the inheritance he had of the Lust Sovereign and the world that became his system.
There was a library stacked with thousands of books and manuals. He had the full inheritance of the Lust Sovereign and a whole damn world. It was bound to have something.
In a few minutes, he eventually found something.
Book of curses and book of seers.
Flipping through them, Lith barely understood things even with his super comprehension ability.
Basically, the lock on Fei was put by someone good at divination. An oracle would be proper to call him. To break through it, one had to be proficient in the aspects of fate and destiny.
Fei's destiny wasn't known by Lith, but with a lock being placed like this, her destiny was pretty much going to be her dying.
She was actually dying in the dungeon until he found her, but even after rescuing her, it turns out she wasn't fully rescued.
Then, through the book of curses, Lith found out that an oracle or prophet type being can only be cursed by one single entity, a Time Path seer.
Fate and Destiny would not work if they weren't assisted by Time.
Time would go on even without Fate and Destiny, but these two could not go on without Time.
Long story short, the witch needed Fei and Fei needed the witch.
Lith turned to the witch and asked, "do you think you'll be able to break her chains?"
The witch turned her lifeless gaze to Fei. A few seconds of staring later, she said, "I do not know."
"Can you at least try?"
"I can."
Lith sighed. "Good, then try—"
"I don't want to."
"What?"
The witch looked at Lith emotionlessly. "I don't want to. What's the point of my life anyway?"
Lith looked at her with a stupefied gaze. What's with the sudden depression she's gotten?
Staying calm, he didn't comment on it, rather, asked, "You don't want to live anymore?"
"What's the point?" The witch asked.
She was asking the age old question 'what's the meaning of life' at this very moment. Something even sophisticated and wise philosophers couldn't answer till date.
Lith looked at her and instead of answering, collected his thoughts to word things properly.
This was a sensitive situation. This woman was losing her will to live faster than he had thought of. He didn't think asking her to be his maid forever would have such implications.
But then again, he didn't want to lie to her. He didn't want to simply state that he was going to bind her to him forever.
Hmm… maybe, maybe this approach wasn't good.
'Sigh… there's so many things I have yet to learn,' thought Lith.
Just when he was starting to think that he knew everything and wasn't the same child as before, reality hit him like a truck.
There were quite a lot of things he didn't know. One of them being this situation. He didn't know how to handle such a situation.
What could he possibly say to a witch that had lost her will to love?
She wasn't his lover and he didn't know anything about her. She was just picked from the streets, her likes, dislikes, nothing was known.
This was troublesome. Had she at least begged to want to live, things would've worked out, but no, she wasn't doing anything.
So, what to do? Lith pondered for quite some time, and not coming up with an answer, decided to just throw everything he could at her and hope that something worked out.
Lith looked at the witch and instead of answering, asked back, "Why were you trying to save yourself yesterday?"
The witch answered with the same emotionless face as before, "because I found someone who could cure me."
She meant that it had been so many years since she was searching for someone who could cure her and when she finally found one, she wanted to try living. Her reason to herself was messed up, but that's the best possible answer she had for herself.
"Then, why do you not want to live now? The person is right in front of you."
"What's the point?"
"…" Lith was speechless.
One question and one answer and he was back to the same point as before. Not giving up, he said, "do you not wish to see yourself grow? Or see the very peak of cultivation?"
"What's the point?" The witch asked again.
"Do you not wish to see the beauty of the world? Experience everything there is and—"
"What's the point?"
Lith turned silent hearing that. Just… just what could he possibly say to this woman for her to regain her will to live?
Racking his brains, instead of thinking what she might want to live for, Lith thought what he himself wanted to live for. Maybe, then he could find an answer?
Using thought acceleration, Lith finally come to a new question and asked the witch,
"Have you ever experienced love?"
