Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 514 - 514: Probably A Vampire

There was no sound, there was no sudden motion, there was no disturbance in the space around them that made the white-haired individual aware of what had just happened.

And the worst part of it all is that there is no sign of even the smallest struggle from them as a powerful grip firmly wraps around their neck, lifting their entire body off the ground, and in front of them, a gaze, cold and unfeeling, completely locked onto their face.

As if that wasn’t enough, the crimson-pupiled individual treated by the old stranger as a ‘sacred being’ is now incapable of moving any part of their body at all, their senses also dulled by the overwhelming pressure seemingly intent on bringing their body to its knees, or worse, slammed flat, onto the ground.

They opened their mouth, attempting to express their resignation, their surrender, wanting to escape from this feeling of extreme helplessness, the mighty façade they once had now crumbling, revealing a feeble self in front of the absolute power standing in front of them.

Seeing the look of terror in this being’s eyes, the one holding them, Su Xiaotian, finally decided that he had scared this person enough, the next moment loosening his grip just a bit, all while the immense pressure he was previously exuding starts returning to himself.

“I assumed you’re one of those type of people who are quite… well, stubborn about all things, so I hope this little show will help you know how this conversation will work…” locking gaze with the figure for a few more moments as he flashes an emotionless, yet nevertheless assuring smile, the immortal-like young man finally releases the white-haired figure from his grasp, allowing them to fall down the ground, kneeling all while grasping their neck with both hands as they gasped for oh-so-sweet air.

“Wheeze… cough!! Cough!!” taking in too much, the figure couldn’t stop themselves from coughing quite loudly as they stood up once more, surprised after finding that gone was the pressure that was previously preventing them from moving any single part of their body at all.

And from this sudden surge of freedom, born was the idea of getting as far away from this place as possible, all while wishing, hoping to never meet this man again in their entire life, only for this plan of escape to be shattered the next second with the words coming out of their adversary’s mouth.

“Well, you can certainly try to escape as well…” the immortal-like young man added as he even turned his back towards them, seemingly in an attempt to taunt them even further, causing the figure to clench their teeth in frustration as they felt that something bad will definitely happen should they even dare to attack this mysterious being even with his back turned towards them.

Hence, they finally concluded to take the safest path they can think of so far, releasing a groan, and then a sigh of defeat as they finally did something, motioning their hands upwards, making the young man feel like something is moving in the air before it slams down the ground, the next moment a stump made purely of now smoothened rocks rose up, on behind the white-haired figure, and one in front of him.

“What do you want??” in an aggrieved tone, the figure proceeds to sit down on the stump behind them, the voice now rid of any filter, sounding softer, more feminine than before, a cold yet charming voice attempting to sound angry with their tone, albeit their aggrieved expression just made them sound all the more adorable.

Smiling as he hears the question, those words, the immortal-like young man turned around, still wearing that smile on his face as he sat down the makeshift chair that this “sacred being” provides, staring at them for a while before he do his own trick as well, snapping his fingers and using qi to mold the space in front of them, from deep beneath the ground, roots weaves themselves in distinct, seemingly dancing motion, forming crisscrosses before it expands outwards into a circular table, the top near, if not perfectly flat despite forming from interweaved roots of wood.

‘How?!’ feeling the air around them, the white-haired figure couldn’t help but feel baffled as there is no change, not in the air, not in the ground, the energy and the flow of nature remains the same almost as if the young man in front of them wills nature itself to form the table between the two of them instead of using the energy around them just like what they did.

Seeing the baffled look on this person’s face, Su Xiaotian couldn’t help but feel a little amused; the excited, curious glow from this individual’s eyes was something that made him entertained all the more.

‘Come to think of it, she got quite the looks… well, if she’s really a vampire, then I guess that’s a given…’ taking a good look at the face of this “sacred being”, the immortal-like young man thought to himself, nodding as he thought about the ladies who were just with him earlier today.

‘They’re still better by a long shot, hahah…’ he thought to himself as he opened his eyes, the gaze directed towards the person, the lady in front of her causing said lady to feel a little bit irritated, almost as if she just felt like the young man in front of her was comparing her with someone else.

“What’s with that look!?” she asked with such temper, almost as if she already forgot that the individual in front of her seems to hold strength that goes way beyond her own comprehension, and yet her body’s action says completely otherwise.

Shivering as she takes out multiple utensils, cups, and a pot from what seems to be a spatial device, to be exact, the golden bracelet on her fair wrist, she appears to start preparing snacks not only for herself, but for Su Xiaotian as well, her hands still shaking, causing some contents from the teapot to spill on the woven wooden table.

“Panic in this situation won’t do you any good, lady…” seeing how much she trembles with each motion, Su Xiaotian couldn’t help but shake his head as he smiled in amusement once more, taking in the oddly adorable sight for a while before he finally took action, snapping his fingers once more, an action more of a signal to his next action rather than anything else.

Soul power starts oozing out of him, wrapping around the lady’s body, freezing the body once more, causing her to start spiraling into panic once again, only for her to feel calmed once she heard the young man’s cold, commanding, yet seemingly concerned voice as well.

“Stop trying to fight it, lady” Hearing those words causes her to do so, as she feels like she truly has no other choice, letting her body move along the whims of the powerful force wrapping around her, the only comfort she has being her closing her eyes to not see where this might be going.

“Mhm, this is way better…” before she even starts being stricken in terror even more, though, she finally heard the young man’s voice once more, her body now free from constraint once again, and in front of her were dishes, instead of the snacks she prepared, dishes that she had never encountered before.
