My Otherworldly Shura Field

Chapter 127 The Selfish Old Man

The old man listened quietly to Lucifer, the heartbroken boy, pouring out his heart, without interrupting him at all.

He's been through it all; he's experienced far more than Lucifer, especially when it comes to relationships, he knows a lot about them.

He could imagine what it would feel like for a naive young man to be rejected by someone he liked. One failure would likely leave a shadow, and without someone to guide him, he might never love again.

Once you've been hurt, you don't want to get hurt again, because you're afraid.

Half an hour later, Lucifer finally finished his rambling complaints, and even the old man, with his patience, was starting to feel the strain.

You're just a kid. I've been through more than you've eaten. It's just a breakup. Why are you acting like this?

Besides, you're in such a hurry, it's not easy for anyone to accept that, so being rejected is perfectly normal.

Young man, you're clearly very capable, why are you so stubborn about this? You need to be patient. Girls don't come overnight; you have to slowly boil them like a frog in water.

If we can persevere, the iceberg will eventually melt.

Of course, the old man only thought it to himself and didn't mean to say it out loud.

If Lucifer's object of affection wasn't his granddaughter, he would naturally be happy to offer guidance. However, since Restia happens to be his own granddaughter, and Lucifer is so eager to devour her, it's already quite remarkable that he hasn't thrown a tantrum.

Moreover, he already knew that Lucifer was a vampire, and he couldn't just watch his granddaughter fall into the abyss. However, because Lucifer had saved their entire clan, he didn't say much and was grateful.

Now that Lucifer has done this, his impression of Lucifer is getting worse and worse. Sure enough, vampires are no good. Their desires are too strong, and they will eventually reveal their true nature.

The crisis facing the Spirit Cat Clan has now been resolved, but Lucifer's presence among them remains a ticking time bomb.

If they attract the attention of those who hate vampires, the Spirit Cat Clan will likely be doomed. They can't even handle the Wolf Fang Clan, so what if something even stronger comes along?

After much deliberation, he decided to let Lucifer leave the Spirit Cat Clan, as this might be an opportunity.

Although it was somewhat selfish, he was also thinking about the future of the Spirit Cat Clan, who were too weak to withstand any major storms.

"Sigh! As someone who's been there, all I can say is that you can't force a relationship to work out. Why give up the whole forest for one tree?" The old man patted Lucifer on the shoulder to comfort him.

Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Lestia is your own granddaughter. How dare you compare trees and grasslands? If she finds out, she'll rip your beard off."

However, the old man's words made a lot of sense, which enlightened him.

Yes! Of all the waters in the world, why should I be fixated on this one? I'm going to build a harem, so one more or one less won't make a difference.

Consider it a lesson learned; I can't be so casual in the future. It has to be mutual to avoid being rejected again.

Okay, so what if you got rejected? It's no big deal. Just treat it as your first love. You can't force a relationship.

"That girl Rubia is incredibly pretty, though her breasts are a bit small, but she still has a lot of room to grow. I wonder if she's interested in me? Maybe I should try to win her over? She's definitely a beauty, and her arrogant attitude is quite charming." Lucifer smiled, completely forgetting his previous worries, and began to set his sights on Rubia.

In fact, Rubia of the Wolf Fang Clan couldn't help but shiver. She stared wide-eyed at the starry sky, a chill running down her spine. She felt as if she were being watched by something, and a sense of dread washed over her.

This kid, just a moment ago he was acting like he was dying and had lost his soul, but in the blink of an eye he's eyeing other girls. It seems I was right; handing my granddaughter over to this guy would have been a disservice to her.

However, this is good, it makes me feel a little better, and I don't have to feel too guilty anymore.

"Young man, I believe in you. Go and bravely pursue your dreams!" The old man patted Lucifer on the shoulder to encourage him.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best. I can already see groups of beautiful women waving at me with longing." Lucifer was in high spirits and full of confidence. As long as he swung his hoe well, there was no wall he couldn't dig up.

“By the way, old man, since Restia doesn’t like me anyway, there’s no point in me staying here. Besides, I’ve offended the Soul Eater Clan now, so staying here would be bad for the Spirit Cat,” Lucifer said after thinking for a moment.

"what!"

Upon hearing Lucifer say that he had offended the Soul Eaters, the old man jumped up in fright, his blood pressure soared, and he felt dizzy.

Lucifer was a jinx.

The Soul Eater Clan! To them, they are supreme beings, an incredibly powerful race.

A being who could wipe out the Spirit Cat Clan with a single word, even the Wolf Fang Clan had no right to grovel before them.

Lucifer, on the other hand, actually offended the Soul Eaters. Isn't he just pushing them into a fire pit?

The Soul Eater Clan and the Wolf Fang Clan are not even in the same league; he didn't believe Lucifer could handle them.

All he wants now is for Lucifer to leave the Spirit Cat Clan as soon as possible and sever all ties; otherwise, the Spirit Cat Clan will be doomed.

The old man was about to speak when Lucifer interrupted him, knowing what the old man wanted to say.

The Soul Eater Clan is too strong, so strong it's suffocating. Comparing the Soul Eater Clan to the Spirit Cat Clan is like comparing an ant to an elephant; they could be easily crushed with a single step.

As the eldest member of the Spirit Cat Clan, the old man naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch his clan fall into utter ruin.

The saying goes, "Lucifer made them, but he also destroyed them." Although Lucifer solved the threat posed by the Wolf Fang Clan, he brought about an even greater threat, and their future was bleak.

Regardless of the circumstances, he had done the Spirit Cat Clan a favor, and the Spirit Cat Clan couldn't drive him away and risk being branded as heartless and unjust.

It would be better if he took the initiative to leave, leaving a good impression and making a grand exit.

I came quietly, I left quietly, waving my sleeves, not taking away a single cloud, that's how carefree I am.

The old man hadn't expected Lucifer to be so kind-hearted. Even with his strong sense of justice, he felt ashamed, realizing he was becoming more and more useless as he got older.

They keep people when they need them, and kick them aside when they don't, severing all ties.

He was torn between morality and ethics and the entire Spirit Cat Clan; he had to make a choice.

No matter what choice he makes, he's not human either way, so he might as well do something within his power for the Spirit Cat Clan while he still has a few years left.

Let him feel guilty! Even if he leaves behind a legacy of infamy, he can bear it all; it will all be worth it.

"When do you plan to leave?" The old man looked up at the starry sky, knowing that looking at Lucifer would only make him feel more guilty.

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "I'll set off as soon as Chris returns, which should be in the next few days."

"Yes, you should rest well! A good rest will help you on your journey." The old man nodded, got up and left, his body slightly hunched, as if he had aged several years.

Watching the old man gradually disappear into the darkness, Lucifer smiled slightly. This old fellow, he is still the king of his race, isn't he?

They showed him no respect whatsoever, not calling him "King" but referring to him as "boy," and now they're leaving without a word. They're disrespectful to their elders.

And what's with this "rest well before setting off" nonsense? He's not going to his death. It's ridiculous. Does he think he's some kind of nobody who can be manipulated at will?

of course not.

Are the Soul Eater Clan strong? Of course they are. The Wolf Fang Clan wasn't that strong to them before.
