Chapter 261: A Satisfying Revenge

Wen Xi wasn’t weak. She was the self-proclaimed “First Lady” of Kaiser’s group. Given Kaiser’s obliviousness and low EQ, it was hard to say what she truly felt for Wen Xi. Perhaps she simply saw her as an annoying younger sister. Until she defeated Dorothy, romance was a distraction, a frivolous pursuit compared to the thrill of combat. Wofoo had sparred with Kaiser before, though Kaiser always held back, her true power a terrifying force Wofoo couldn’t comprehend.

Wen Xi was a Sequence One elemental vampire, though not among the strongest. Her obsession with Kaiser had led her to neglect her training, content to rely on her beauty and Kaiser’s protection. But within the Secret Realm, such complacency was a liability. There were no servants to cater to her whims, no makeup to enhance her beauty, only the harsh reality of survival. She had encountered a swarm of ashen goblin creatures, their grotesque forms and lecherous gazes filling her with disgust. She wielded the dual elements of metal and wood, a testament to her noble bloodline and talent. But talent alone wasn’t enough. She had cleared the area, the goblins dissolving into ash, but the encounter had left her shaken, her breath coming in ragged gasps. As she caught sight of Adele and Wofoo, she composed herself, forcing a mask of cool indifference, her aristocratic pride demanding a flawless facade, even in the face of her enemies.

“A dog’s nose is truly keen,” she sneered, directing her insult at Wofoo.

But Adele was quicker to anger. “Not as keen as your foul mouth and even fouler actions, you bitch!”

Wen Xi bristled. No one in Twilight City dared to speak to her like this. But before she could retort, Adele attacked.

No time for words, only action. A swift punch, a lightning-fast claw strike.

Kitty Paw Strike: Bird Catching!

Or rather, since it was Wen Xi, the flamboyant, attention-seeking vampire…

Kitty Paw Strike: Roasted Chicken!

Even Wen Xi’s hastily erected elemental shield, a combination of wood and stone, couldn’t fully deflect the blow. Three claw marks appeared on her cheek, a stinging humiliation that made her blood boil. She hadn’t been truly hurt, but the insult, the indignity of being marked like an animal, was far worse. No one had ever dared to leave a mark on her face!

Adele hadn’t intended to merely scratch her; she had wanted to take Wen Xi down in one blow, a display of power that would impress Wofoo and solidify her position as the dominant one in their little group. But in reality, she wasn’t strong enough to defeat a Sequence One, even one as… distracted as Wen Xi. Her progress had been remarkable, from a weak, easily bullied target to a force to be reckoned with, but she still couldn’t match the true powerhouses of the vampire world. She flicked the droplets of blood from her fingers, a small victory, but a victory nonetheless.

“Adele, is it?” Wen Xi asked, her voice cold, the scratches on her face already beginning to heal. “You’ve become quite famous recently.” Her reputation as a “femme fatale” and a “walking aphrodisiac” had spread among the younger generation of vampires in Twilight City, though no one dared to mention it in front of Dorothy or Hermione.

“I’ve always been famous,” Adele retorted, tossing her hair, a playful defiance that further infuriated Wen Xi.

“Enough talk,” Adele said, her patience wearing thin. “Let’s get serious.”

Wen Xi, a flicker of admiration in her eyes for Adele’s audacity, was eager to teach this upstart a lesson. She had been annoyed by Kaiser’s interest in Adele at the ball, but Adele, protected by her powerful allies, had been untouchable. Here, in the Secret Realm, however, Adele was alone, vulnerable. As for Wofoo, Wen Xi didn’t even consider her a threat. If the “dog” dared to interfere, Wen Xi would gladly put her in her place, a favor to Kaiser.

“Then let me show you just how insignificant you are!” Wen Xi declared, her eyes flashing as she unleashed her magic. No complex spells or incantations, just raw power, a torrent of razor-sharp leaves, infused with metal, shimmering in the air. It was an attack that should have decimated any opponent.

But as Wen Xi struck her pose, her arms outstretched, her eyes closed in concentration, nothing happened. The expected barrage of leaves never materialized. The only sound, the gentle rustling of the gray fog, seemed to mock her efforts.

Wen Xi’s eyes snapped open, her face a mask of disbelief. What… had just happened? Why couldn’t she access the ambient magic of the Secret Realm? If she knew the answer, she wouldn’t have assumed the realm’s magic was “impartial.” It was anything but. Within Adele’s breast pocket, the chalcedony droplet, Xiao Ai’s transformed form, pulsed with a faint, red light.

Adele, though confused by Wen Xi’s failed attack, wasn’t about to waste the opportunity. She wasn’t the type to let her opponent monologue; she would strike while the iron was hot. She lunged, her movements a blur, her Kitty Paw Strike a whirlwind of blows aimed at Wen Xi, who, still reeling from her inability to access the realm’s magic, was caught off guard. Her defenses, powered only by her internal magic reserves, were quickly overwhelmed.

“What… what is this?” Wen Xi thought, her body reeling from the unexpected assault. Adele’s movements were too fast, too precise, her attacks bypassing Wen Xi’s defenses, leaving a series of stinging cuts on her arms, shoulders, and face. Who… had created such a devastating fighting style? It was a combination of speed, precision, and raw power, a technique that seemed perfectly suited for close-quarters combat.

Under Adele’s relentless assault, even Wen Xi’s enhanced healing abilities were struggling to keep up, the sheer number of wounds overwhelming her system. If this continued, she would be defeated.

Wen Xi, however, was a quick thinker. Realizing she couldn’t win a prolonged fight, she decided to gamble. She feigned an opening, allowing Adele to get close, then, ignoring the searing pain in her side as Adele’s fist connected with her ribs, she unleashed her remaining magic, a forbidden technique known as “Rust.”

“Rust…” she gasped, her voice hoarse, her once flawless appearance now marred by blood and grime. But her eyes burned with a desperate determination. If she could just land this one blow, she could turn the tables. “Rust” was a dangerous spell, its corrosive magic capable of destroying an opponent’s magic pathways, the very foundation of their power.

Adele’s eyes widened in alarm, but it was too late. She had underestimated Wen Xi, her confidence blinding her to the danger. As they clashed, Adele’s Kitty Paw Strike tearing into Wen Xi’s flesh, Wen Xi’s palm, charged with corrosive magic, reached towards Adele’s chest. It was a mutual destruction, a gamble that could cripple them both.

But then, the unexpected happened.

A pair of gray eyes, glowing with a lecherous light, emerged from the earth beneath Wen Xi’s feet. With an impossible speed, a goblin, one of the most despised and repulsive creatures of the Secret Realm, lunged at Wen Xi’s outstretched hand.

When…!? Wen Xi had thought she had eliminated all the goblins. She hadn’t expected one to be lurking beneath the surface. And she certainly hadn’t expected it to… interrupt her attack. This goblin wasn’t driven by the mindless instinct of the other gray fog creatures; it was acting with a purpose, its sudden appearance a deliberate intervention, preventing Wen Xi’s “Rust” from reaching Adele. Something… is controlling it! But Wen Xi wouldn’t have time to ponder the implications. As the goblin’s teeth sank into her hand, detonating the corrosive magic, her mind was filled with a single, despairing thought: This is it…

The goblin, unable to withstand the corrosive magic, dissolved into ash. But it had served its purpose, protecting Adele.

At the same time, Adele’s Kitty Paw Strike connected, tearing into Wen Xi’s side, ripping through flesh and bone.

Even with such a grievous wound, Wen Xi refused to use the True Ancestor’s protective rune, refusing to admit defeat. She stood there, her body swaying, her magic reserves depleted, her once-proud appearance now a mask of blood and grime. Perhaps it was pride, a stubborn refusal to yield, that kept her from retreating.

But her pride, in front of Adele, was meaningless.

Adele’s gaze drifted past Wen Xi, towards the shadows behind her.

Then, she nodded.

Wen Xi felt a surge of terror, a primal instinct screaming at her to flee. She turned to see a pair of deep blue eyes, as cold and predatory as a wolf’s, staring at her from the shadows.

A blur of motion, a powerful blow.

It was a claw strike, or perhaps a slap, that sent Wen Xi flying, three deep gashes appearing on her face, a disfiguring blow that triggered the True Ancestor’s protective magic, teleporting her back to the underground palace.

Though she hadn’t been killed, for Wofoo, it was a satisfying revenge.

Chapter 260: “I’ll Take Care of Her!”

A chalcedony shaped like a drop of blood.

Or was it simply… “a drop of blood”?

Adele felt that everything she experienced today was far beyond her imagination.

First, Xiao Ai’s existence, then her ability to control the gray fog and the monsters.

Finally, she could even transform into a drop of blood, resting quietly in Adele’s palm.

If it weren’t for the faint shimmer of light, Adele would have simply mistaken it for a jade ornament.

If this really was “blood”…

Or if Xiao Ai’s true form was just a drop of blood…

Then whose blood was it?

And was that mysterious being related to Adele in some way?

Otherwise, it couldn’t explain why Xiao Ai, after transforming into a human, looked like Adele.

The more Adele thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

She shivered and gave up on thinking.

She just accepted one simple truth.

Xiao Ai was Xiao Ai.

She was herself!

That was it!

Then, she carefully placed the drop of blood in her small breast pocket.

The blood droplet that Xiao Ai transformed into established a connection with Adele.

A mental connection, like telepathy.

But it wasn’t stable.

It would occasionally flash through Adele’s mind, giving her guidance.

Adele could follow her guidance, quickly finding the next vampire after defeating one.

The combination of Adele and Wofoo seemed like two mixed-bloods huddled together, “useless scraps.”

But actually, they could be considered “smurfs” (high-level players playing on low-level accounts).

Both of them had the ability to crush low-ranking vampires, the so-called “invincible below Sequence One, one-for-one exchange with Sequence Ones!”

Wofoo, as a Sequence Two, actually had no reason to be looked down upon.

The reason why she was underestimated was only because of her werewolf bloodline.

However, the origin of this werewolf bloodline was extraordinary.

This was also a secret that Wofoo always kept hidden in her heart.

That was, her grandmother was actually the werewolf princess who was left behind in that war.

She was injured, so she didn’t retreat from the war in time.

It was precisely to cover her escape that the loyal werewolf soldiers and maids delayed the final retreat, missing the teleportation circle created by the werewolf mages at the cost of their lives.

The werewolf princess and these soldiers, along with some maids, were left behind.

They were the werewolves who were treated as slaves in Twilight City.

The werewolf princess’s clothes had long been replaced and burned, replaced by a maid’s clothes.

So the princess successfully concealed her identity, and with the loyalty of the other werewolves…

This was never discovered by the vampires.

Then came the tragic centuries-long history of werewolves in the vampire capital.

Even though the werewolf princess had a noble status, in front of the victorious vampires, she was just a lowly slave.

In that era where she had no control over her own life, she tried her best to survive.

Because she knew that as long as she survived, there was hope…

There was no need to elaborate on the story afterward, she gave birth to children, and her children gave birth to children…

Then, generation after generation, by the time it reached Wofoo, she and her mother had successfully gotten rid of their slave status and become legal vampire citizens.

How much effort and sweat had been put into this, how many generations of hard work, who could say?

So just for Wofoo to integrate into Twilight City as an ordinary vampire, she had already exhausted all her efforts, and also exhausted the efforts of several generations of her family.

But even though she appeared humble towards the vampires on the surface, willing to be ordered around and bullied…

Secretly, she never gave up her dignity as a werewolf.

She never gave up the pride passed down to her by her grandmother.

The berserker bloodline was proof of that.

Wofoo’s berserker state couldn’t be compared to that of ordinary werewolves.

It could greatly enhance her physical functions, even temporarily surpassing her limits…

Therefore, although she was a werewolf hybrid, Wofoo’s werewolf bloodline didn’t drag her down.

On the contrary, this bloodline was far more powerful than a vampire’s Sequence Two.

This was also one of her hidden trump cards.

The vampire and werewolf bloodlines flowing within her, their combined effect wasn’t 1+1<2.

It was 1+1>2!

As for Adele, there was no need to mention her.

Her title of “Strongest Sequence Five” already spoke volumes.

And she also had her witch form as her trump card.

Except for Sequence One vampires, other vampires who encountered these two “wolves in sheep’s clothing” in the Secret Realm would probably be left with a deep psychological scar.

Soon, under Xiao Ai’s guidance, the two found a vampire who was fighting a monster.

It was a male vampire, Sequence Two, seemingly a Body Technique type.

After all, his appearance as he fought bare-chested and laughing maniacally was… an eyesore.

And when he discovered Adele and Wofoo, he wasn’t panicked at all, instead, he was very disdainful.

After all, Adele and Wofoo’s scents were too faint, it was a sign of their weak vampire bloodlines.

Low-ranking vampires were indeed nothing to worry about, on the contrary, they had already been targeted by the man, their points seen as his own.

It was normal for Adele’s scent to be faint, because she was originally a Sequence Five vampire.

As for why Wofoo’s scent was faint, it was because her werewolf bloodline was actually stronger than her vampire bloodline, so the scent she emitted was more wild than bloody.

Adele glanced at the male vampire as if he was an idiot.

Then she looked at Wofoo, the meaning in her eyes clear.

Wofoo wouldn’t let Adele down, not to mention that she already disliked the male vampire.

At least put some clothes on!

Who wanted to see this barbarian with muscles all over his body?

It was polluting Adele’s eyes!

Wofoo pulled down the hood of her hoodie, also not wanting her wolf ears to be seen.

The only ones who could see her wolf ears were Adele and Xiao Ai!

The next moment, she dashed out like lightning, so fast that an afterimage remained.

Adele’s eyes widened slightly, she was actually tired of watching mages bombard each other, this kind of battle between Body Technique type vampires was much more exciting and interesting.

It was a pity that there was no popcorn in the Secret Realm, otherwise, Adele would definitely find a flat spot to sit down, enjoying the “action movie” in front of her while munching on popcorn.

At first, when Wofoo attacked, the male vampire didn’t care, thinking that Wofoo was just fast, but her strength must be lacking, it would just be like scratching an itch.

But after being hit, damn it, why did it hurt so much!?

And her claws tore through his flesh, even the layer of blood qi he had cultivated on his body couldn’t defend against it.

His expression changed from relaxed to serious, then to complete panic.

Finally, to terror!

But before his terrified expression could solidify, Wofoo’s incredibly fast claw had already pierced his heart.

The vampire was teleported out of the Blood Secret Realm.

When he arrived in the underground palace, he was already kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest, sweating profusely.

This meant that he had been completely eliminated, and on the leaderboard, Wofoo’s points jumped up.

It didn’t take Wofoo much effort to defeat him.

Because Body Technique type vampires…

To be honest, it was a bit like “There’s no number one in literature, but there’s a number one in martial arts.”

The strong had absolute power over the weak.

As long as Wofoo didn’t hide her strength and was serious, most Body Technique type vampires shouldn’t be her match.

But Wofoo also knew that there was someone she couldn’t defeat no matter what.

That was Kaiser.

Her strength was suffocating.

And Wofoo’s disguise hadn’t escaped Kaiser’s sharp eyes.

Kaiser had actually discovered Wofoo’s strength long ago, and she also knew that Wofoo’s berserker state was unusual.

This was the biggest reason why she invited Wofoo to join her small group.

Wofoo accepted Kaiser’s invitation without hesitation.

This wasn’t a shameful thing, on the contrary, Wofoo was extremely excited at that time, thinking that she had met a benefactor.

Because compared to being discriminated against and bullied by everyone…

It was better to be discriminated against and bullied only by those under Kaiser’s command.

And most of the other vampires, after learning about her relationship with Kaiser, would choose to let her go to avoid trouble.

In a sense, Kaiser, without even realizing it, had greatly improved Wofoo’s situation in the discriminatory Twilight City society.

So if she encountered Kaiser, Wofoo actually didn’t want to be her enemy.

But if she encountered Kaiser’s admirer, that Wen Xi who had always looked down on her, bullied her, and even slapped her purely to vent her anger that day…

In the Blood Secret Realm, Wofoo wouldn’t let her go.

Fortunately, the next guidance from the blood droplet that Xiao Ai transformed into…

Led Adele and Wofoo to Wen Xi, the girl in the sexy outfit.

It could be said that “Enemies are destined to meet,” or “It’s a small world.”

At that time, Wen Xi had just finished dealing with several goblin ash monsters. She wanted to find Kaiser as soon as possible, so she didn’t choose to hide and wait for the gray fog to dissipate, she kept moving forward in the fog.

And it was also at this time that she noticed Adele and Wofoo, glancing at them with an arrogant and disdainful look.

“It’s that dog,” she thought to herself.

Seeing her, Wofoo’s eyes instantly turned red.

It was because of the rage surging in her heart, her body already showing signs of transforming into a berserker.

But what Wofoo didn’t expect was…

Compared to her, it was Adele who gritted her teeth first.

And waved at Wofoo dashingly,

“Wofoo! I’ll take care of her!”

At that moment, Adele was truly incredibly cool.

Even surpassing Kaiser, the recognized coolest girl – in Wofoo’s heart.

Of course, it would have been better if she hadn’t added, “If I can’t beat her, we’ll gang up on her!”

Chapter 259: A Drop of Blood

Ten steps, five steps… three steps left!

Adele had to bend down slightly to peek out of the cave. Her heart pounded with a nervous excitement, the only comfort the warmth of the small hand holding her finger. She held her strongest attack spell at the ready – the Magic Fishing Rod. Though a bit embarrassing, it was her most powerful offensive magic, a technique honed by First Snow during her centuries of… well, not studying magic. It was like a concentrated burst of energy, capable of piercing even a Gryphon’s tough hide.

Wofoo followed closely behind, ready to shift into her berserker form and shield Adele if necessary. It was a risky move; the berserker state dulled her pain receptors, making her a formidable fighter but also vulnerable to overexertion.

But their preparations proved unnecessary. The Gryphon, a hulking, ashen gray monstrosity, remained motionless, its only sign of life the eerie glow in its eyes.

Adele and Wofoo exchanged a nervous glance, then stepped out of the cave, the Gryphon’s imposing shadow falling over them. It was a creature of the gray fog, a mindless killing machine, its presence a constant threat. And yet, it stood there, frozen, as if awaiting orders. They both knew the reason: the little girl in red, Xiao Ai, who still held Adele’s hand.

Xiao Ai hadn’t learned to speak yet, only the word “Mama.” Adele wished she could explain how she controlled the Gryphon, but even without words, Xiao Ai’s power was evident, her connection to the Secret Realm undeniable. It was a power that benefited Adele, and she wouldn’t question it, not yet.

“Xiao Ai, my little superhero!” Adele scooped the child into her arms, nuzzling her cheek.

A giggle, pure and innocent, filled the air. It was perhaps the happiest day of Xiao Ai’s existence, a stark contrast to the fear and loneliness she had endured before Adele’s arrival. She had hidden from the “adults” who searched for her, their purpose unknown, their presence a threat.

Only once had she been… found. And then there were the intrusions of the young vampires, like today, their presence a disruption she dealt with swiftly, summoning the gray fog and its monstrous inhabitants to eliminate them.

Yes, even the gray fog itself was under her control.

She had intended to hide, to protect herself from these intruders, to drive them from her sanctuary. But among them, she had sensed Adele, a familiar presence, a connection that resonated deep within her soul.

In that instant, Xiao Ai had found her purpose. She had been waiting for Adele. Adele’s arrival in this pure land, the shifting landscape, the blossoming flowers – it was all Xiao Ai’s doing. She was the master of this Secret Realm, a being of immense power, perhaps the very “spirit” or “elf” spoken of in vampire legends, the guardian of the Blood Secret Realm.

Adele and Wofoo, still marveling at the docile Gryphon, circled it cautiously. Such a magnificent creature was a rare sight in the human world.

“This gray fog… it’s not harmful, is it?” Adele asked Xiao Ai, who, unsure how to respond, simply made the fog before them dissipate, revealing the Gryphon’s true nature: a construct of ash and shadow, its form maintained only by the fog itself. As the fog cleared, the Gryphon crumbled, its ashen remains scattering in the wind, leaving no trace behind.

“Creatures not of this world,” Adele murmured, watching as a stray particle of ash dissolved before it even reached her hand. “Beings without substance…” They existed only within the gray fog, their forms a temporary illusion. “But I believe they must have existed once,” Wofoo said, her gaze fixed on the spot where the Gryphon had vanished. The detail of its wounds, the scars on its tattered wings, were too realistic to be mere fabrications. It was a mystery neither of them could solve, a truth beyond Xiao Ai’s comprehension. She controlled the realm, but its origins, its purpose, remained a mystery, even to her.

Adele, however, wasn’t interested in unraveling the Secret Realm’s secrets. Xiao Ai’s ability to control the fog and its creatures was a far more valuable asset, a powerful tool in Adele’s quest for… well, whatever she desired. It was a far more useful “cheat” than telepathy.

“Xiao Ai, my little superhero,” she said, her eyes gleaming with excitement, “can you lend your power to Mama?”

Xiao Ai’s telepathy wasn’t about seeing words or hearing voices in Adele’s mind, but a deeper connection, a shared consciousness, an understanding of Adele’s emotions and intentions, as if they were… one.

Xiao Ai, her pink eyes mirroring Adele’s, nodded readily.

“At a time like this, you should say ‘Okay’ or ‘Alright’!” Adele said, starting to teach Xiao Ai how to speak. Although they could communicate through their shared consciousness, Adele wanted Xiao Ai to be able to interact with others. She had already decided to take Xiao Ai with her when they left the Secret Realm; she couldn’t leave the child alone in this desolate place. Xiao Ai would become the most pampered little cutie, even if it meant… replacing Adele in the girls’ affections. But Adele didn’t mind.

“Mmm, good~ Now say ‘Sister’!”

“Jojo?”

“Sister.”

“Sis… Sister!”

Xiao Ai quickly mastered the pronunciation, and more importantly, by reading Adele’s mind, she understood the meaning of the word. So when she said “Sister,” her gaze was directed at Wofoo, who was watching them quietly from the side.

For Wofoo, it was a heartwarming surprise.

It not only showed Xiao Ai’s strong learning ability…

But also that she didn’t need to memorize and then slowly apply the words like other students, understanding their meaning through practice.

Through Adele’s teaching, she could directly read the meaning of these words from Adele’s mind.

Then learn and use them!

This meant that Xiao Ai’s learning speed, in this aspect, was several times faster than ordinary people.

As long as Adele was patient enough, she could teach Xiao Ai human language in a day or two, letting her memorize hundreds, even thousands, of commonly used words, it wouldn’t be a problem.

But learning foreign languages might not be so convenient.

Don’t ask why, Adele didn’t know them either!

In other words, as long as Adele, this “Mama,” had a high enough upper limit, Xiao Ai, who could read her mind, could also quickly become talented.

Thinking further, if Xiao Ai went to school in the future, wouldn’t even Adele, the “mother,” have to become a studyholic?

It was a terrifying thought, but fortunately, Adele didn’t really have any requirements for her children’s academic performance.

Wofoo happily stroked Xiao Ai’s hair.

It felt like stroking a younger, cuter version of Adele.

It was heartwarming.

Of course, she didn’t believe that Adele really had an illegitimate daughter born in the depths of the Secret Realm.

The reason why Xiao Ai looked like Adele must be due to some unknown reason, or a “secret.”

But Wofoo wasn’t curious about that secret, she didn’t want to explore it.

Being able to share her heart with Adele, to deepen their bond, and even “raise a daughter” together, this experience, without exaggeration, made Wofoo feel that her life was complete.

Xiao Ai blinked her curious eyes, staring at the fluffy older sister in front of her.

Should it be said… as expected of Adele’s “daughter.”

Her gaze was completely fixed on Wofoo’s fluffy ears!

“…Do… do you want to touch them?”

Although Wofoo was incredibly embarrassed, when she sensed Xiao Ai’s feelings, an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart, making her want to spoil Xiao Ai and ask.

Xiao Ai didn’t understand the meaning of “Do you want to touch them?”

But she was good at reading people’s expressions!

So the next moment, she immediately nodded.

And then she turned to Adele, pointing at the pointed wolf ears on Wofoo’s head.

“Mama!”

Xiao Ai only allowed Adele to make the decision.

This showed that Xiao Ai was a very well-behaved child, not a brat.

She would never do anything that “Mama” Adele didn’t allow her to do.

Adele nodded, touched by the little girl’s consideration.

“Since Wofoo agrees, then of course you can touch them.”

Wofoo also gently and respectfully crouched down in front of Xiao Ai, offering her head, her pointed wolf ears twitching slightly from nervousness.

She was the kind of adult who respected children, who knew how to communicate with them, she always treated them as equals.

Not acting high and mighty, putting pressure on the little one.

Xiao Ai’s breathing quickened, and she called out in a childish voice,

“Sister…”

Then she reached out and gently touched Wofoo’s wolf ears.

So soft – that was Xiao Ai’s first reaction.

But compared to other beast-eared girls, Wofoo’s fur wasn’t actually that soft, it was even a bit rough.

For example, compared to First Snow’s, First Snow’s was clearly more touchable.

After all, she was a wolf, a wolf’s fur wasn’t for humans to pet, it was for hunting in the wilderness, for trekking through snow and ice, it was for warmth.

But Xiao Ai had never petted a cat or a wolf before, so naturally, she thought the fur on Wofoo’s ears was already soft enough.

Adele also came over to join in the fun, stroking Wofoo’s other ear.

“Cute, right? My little wolf~”

“…” Wofoo blushed and lowered her head.

It was so embarrassing.

Being touched by Adele and Xiao Ai at the same time, Xiao Ai who looked almost exactly like Adele but was smaller and cuter in every way.

It felt like…

She was being completely dominated by Adele and Little Adele.

Any werewolf with a shred of dignity wouldn’t accept this kind of treatment.

But… call Wofoo undignified or weak…

This was the greatest happiness she could experience.

Sometimes, surrendering your body to the right person… wasn’t a bad thing.

The wolf’s heart gradually changed in this process.

Who knew if she could still be called a “wolf” in the distant future?

But even if that day came…

Wofoo would definitely accept it willingly.

After Big Adele and Little Adele had enough of petting Wofoo’s ears…

Adele prompted Xiao Ai,

“Xiao Ai, say ‘Thank you’ to big sister.”

“Fank… fank?”

“Almost, try again~”

“Fank you, sister!”

“N-no need, Xiao Ai, you can touch them anytime… well, anyway, I don’t mind!”

It seemed that Wofoo had become overly obedient.

Although Wofoo was also embarrassed that she had said such a thing…

Whether it was Xiao Ai or Adele, they were not beings she could resist or refuse.

And it was definitely not just Wofoo who felt this way.

Adele’s harem would definitely dote on Xiao Ai, who looked exactly like Adele, treating her like their own.

Adele: Uh, I can understand the doting part, but what the hell is “treating her like their own”!?

Because they weren’t old enough to have children with Adele yet, so they would raise Xiao Ai as their daughter in advance to satisfy themselves?

Undeniably, it was a good idea.

“Okay, enough with the ears.”

“It’s time to start the real hunting plan!”

Adele might not be the most capable, but she was definitely the kind of girl who could stand up and lead others.

“Xiao Ai, if you can control the gray fog and the monsters, can you find the locations of other vampires?”

Hearing this, Xiao Ai closed her eyes and entered a meditative state.

More precisely, she was using the monsters’ perspective to find other vampires.

The next moment, her eyes lit up, and she waved her hand, pointing in a certain direction.

“This way? Wofoo, let’s go!”

“Okay!” Wofoo followed Adele.

But before Adele could take a few steps, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Xiao Ai.

Adele and Xiao Ai, who could be temporarily called “mother and daughter,” exchanged glances.

Xiao Ai instantly sensed what Adele wanted to know and nodded.

Adele wanted to ask if Xiao Ai had any way to conceal herself.

Otherwise, it would be dangerous… if those vampires she didn’t trust discovered Xiao Ai’s existence.

After all, she was a “being” born in this Secret Realm.

What kind of magical abilities did she have, and what unknown secrets did she hide?

Who knew what those blood nobles, including the True Ancestors, thought of her? And whether they had any ulterior motives?

Although Adele hadn’t known Xiao Ai for long, the little girl had called her “Mama” and looked exactly like her.

No matter what, Adele couldn’t abandon her, she wanted to protect her.

Xiao Ai seemed to sense Adele’s feelings, her nose tingling with emotion.

As expected, “Mama” was “Mama”~

She smiled and took Adele’s hand, shaking it affectionately.

The next moment, a bright red light flashed before Adele and Wofoo.

Xiao Ai disappeared, but a blood-drop-shaped chalcedony appeared in Adele’s hand.

“!”

Was this… Xiao Ai?

A drop of blood?

Chapter 258: Little Ai(Xiao Ai)

Compared to Adele, who was completely stunned, Wofoo’s reaction was even more amusing.

Like a wolf whose tail had been stepped on, her fur stood on end.

Literally, Wofoo’s silver-gray hair puffed up.

Normally, Adele would find this very interesting and wouldn’t hesitate to touch it.

But now, she had a bigger crisis.

It was also the reason why Wofoo was so shocked.

That was – so Adele really did have an illegitimate daughter!?

Actually, Adele was equally surprised. So I really have an illegitimate daughter?!

No, no, whether judging from Adele’s experiences after transmigrating…

Or from the original “Adele’s” experiences…

Neither “she” nor Adele had ever had the opportunity, let alone the partner, to have a child.

Moreover, the little girl in front of her, besides having Adele’s features, didn’t seem to have any traces of other girls.

If she was Celeste’s child, Adele hoped she would inherit her mother’s blonde hair and voluptuous figure.

If she was Hermione’s child, Adele hoped she would inherit her mother’s cold temperament and elegance.

If she was Sharon’s child, Adele didn’t want her to inherit her mother’s original weakness, it would be better for her to be lively, but also well-behaved and sensible.

If…

But the girl in front of her didn’t have any characteristics of other girls, which made Adele suspicious.

While hugging the little girl, Adele suddenly turned to Wofoo, who was looking at “Little Adele” with a concerned and gentle gaze, and said,

“I suspect she’s a mimic!”

“Don’t… don’t say such things in front of the child!”

Wofoo looked slightly angry.

“Eh!?”

Adele thought, Have I already fallen out of favor so quickly!?

Just because of a child’s appearance!?

But she was seriously analyzing the situation!

Anyway, the little girl in front of her couldn’t understand.

The so-called mimic was a creature similar to a “slime.”

They usually didn’t have a fixed form and could change according to the environment and the creatures they encountered.

So Adele’s conclusion was that she was the first creature the little girl saw, so she might be a mimic who had imitated Adele’s appearance, mimicking Adele’s childhood appearance!

Thinking of this, Adele started to poke and prod the little girl’s cheeks, which were inexplicably attached to Adele’s.

“Waa… mmm!”

The little girl’s cheeks were sometimes squeezed round, sometimes pulled long, the soft feeling making Adele reluctant to stop.

But it also gradually made Adele realize that her guess… might not be reliable.

Because no matter how Adele tested her, the little girl’s physical state remained stable.

In other words, she was a living human being!

And Adele’s actions also made Wofoo worry.

“Adele!”

“D-don’t do that, you’ll hurt her…”

Although Adele understood that Wofoo’s worry was normal…

She still pouted, feeling a little aggrieved.

It felt like this little girl’s appearance had taken away half of the love that originally belonged to Adele.

Forget it, she wouldn’t argue with a little girl, let alone a little girl who looked almost exactly like her.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

“This is also a necessary test.”

“And look, she thinks I’m playing with her!”

Adele tried to find a justifiable reason for her actions.

But the clever-looking little girl seemed to understand something, her beautiful big eyes darting around.

Then, she suddenly started to fake cry.

This immediately aroused Wofoo’s concern and dissatisfaction.

“I told you you’re hurting her… it’s okay, baby, it’s okay!”

Wofoo tentatively reached out her hand, and seeing that “Little Adele” didn’t refuse, she happily stroked the little girl’s hair.

“What the-!”

Adele’s mind exploded at this moment, but not because the little girl was acting pitiful.

But because this girl even looked exactly like her when pretending to be pitiful and seeking sympathy.

Was she really Adele’s illegitimate daughter?

It was one thing for her facial features to be similar, there were many such coincidences in the world, but the key was that even her personality and temper were similar…

Then it couldn’t be simply explained by coincidence.

So Adele, a seasoned reader of webnovels, started to think, could this girl be the child she left behind in the Blood Secret Realm in her past life?

Webnovels loved to use settings like past lives and future selves.

But Adele usually didn’t like this.

She was herself, not a tool for some powerful being from her past life.

Otherwise, if she had a past life, did her past life also have a past life, and did that past life also have a past life…?

She didn’t care about these things, she was herself in this life.

Since this little girl had a connection with her, it wouldn’t be a problem to keep her by her side, it was just one more mouth to feed.

Seemingly sensing that Adele’s resolve was wavering…

The little girl’s eyes sparkled, and she once again called out to Adele with that irresistible word,

“Mama~!”

“Who… who’s your mom…”

Adele’s tsundere expression wasn’t convincing at all.

She was actually quite happy in her heart.

She reached out and messed up the little girl’s hair, which Wofoo had just smoothed out.

Then she smiled mischievously.

“Heehee~”

This was enough to show that Adele wouldn’t become a traditional, virtuous wife and mother in the future.

She was the type who would treat children as “fun little toys,” she wouldn’t be too serious or spoil them, but her love for them wouldn’t be any less.

If anyone wanted to hurt Adele’s children, she would fight for them!

Bullying them was also not allowed!

Because the only ones who could bully her children were Adele and her wives!

The little girl wasn’t unhappy that Adele messed up her hair.

On the contrary, seeing Adele’s smiling face, she also showed a very similar smile.

It seemed that the little girl’s personality was indeed like Adele’s, she liked acting pitiful and coquettish, but she also liked making Adele, whom she recognized as “Mama,” happy.

Wofoo looked at this harmonious “mother-daughter” scene with envy.

And she couldn’t help but have some overly premature fantasies.

If she used the “Blood Cocoon” method in the future to give birth to Adele’s child…

What would the child look like?

If it was a boy, Wofoo hoped that he would be like her,

or rather, as majestic as a real wolf, cold and cool, protecting his two mothers.

If it was a girl, Wofoo hoped that she would be like Adele, delicate and cute, growing up surrounded by love and affection.

As she thought about this, Wofoo blushed and quickly looked away, coughing.

And Adele was currently crouching down, asking the little girl she had just met,

“Little idiot, besides ‘Mama,’ can you say anything else?”

The little girl’s nose wrinkled, she seemed to understand that Adele was calling her a bad word.

“Oh, you’re not stupid, I don’t even know your name…”

“Since you look so much like me, why don’t I call you Xiao Ai?”

Fortunately, there were no Xiaomi phones in this world, so calling out “Xiao Ai” wouldn’t trigger a robotic female voice saying “I’m here.”

“Little Adele” thought for a moment, she seemed to like the name “Xiao Ai,” so she readily accepted it.

“Xiao… Ai!” The little girl’s expression as she tried to say her name was so cute that it almost melted Adele’s heart.

“So smart, you learned it so quickly.”

“My name is Adele, you can call me big sister.”

Although the child looked almost exactly like her, Adele still couldn’t quite accept being called “Mama.”

So she taught her another name.

But Xiao Ai was quite stubborn.

She puffed up her cheeks, a faint pink blush on her face, and shouted in dissatisfaction,

“Ma—ma!”

She clearly couldn’t speak much, but she could understand what people were saying.

This made Adele wonder if this little girl had the ability to read people’s minds through their mental fluctuations.

In short, telepathy.

It was actually very simple to test this.

Adele immediately thought about putting the little girl in a sack and selling her to Principal Winona.

Xiao Ai instantly showed a terrified expression and clutched Adele’s skirt tightly.

“Mama… Mama!”

Xiao Ai’s pitiful appearance made Adele’s heart soften.

“Okay, okay, I won’t sell you, I won’t sell you.”

Adele couldn’t help but hug the little girl, gently stroking her back, it took her a long time to calm Xiao Ai down.

Wofoo tilted her head in confusion, not understanding how it was related to “selling.”

Also, Adele’s testing method…

If Xiao Ai left this Secret Realm and followed Adele back to Cromwell Academy…

If Xiao Ai had the chance to meet Principal Winona, it would be hard for Winona not to be seen as a “human trafficker” by Xiao Ai.

Winona would probably just want to say: First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever offended you, Adele!

But at this moment, Adele didn’t care about any of this. Being able to confirm that the little girl had the ability to read minds was already an unexpected harvest.

But the thoughtful Adele immediately wondered, did Xiao Ai really have the ability to read minds…

Or could she… only read her mind?

It was also very simple to test this.

“Come on, Xiao Ai, show her your magic!” Adele suddenly pointed at Wofoo beside her and said to Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai tilted her head.

Wofoo tilted her head.

Why were these two suddenly so synchronized!?

But the reason was simple.

Adele was just too unreliable.

It made Xiao Ai confused.

“Ahem, I mean, try to see if you can read what Wofoo is thinking.”

Wofoo was shocked.

W-what – did this little girl have the ability to read minds!?

She gulped, some indescribable images flashing through her mind uncontrollably.

The more nervous a person was, the more likely they were to think about what was in their heart.

To think about those fantasies that were only kept in the deepest darkness, where they wandered alone.

Beads of sweat trickled down Wofoo’s cheeks.

And Xiao Ai’s innocent gaze towards her…

Was like a spear of judgment, pinning her to the pillar of shame.

It had only been a second…

But it felt like a century to Wofoo.

The next moment, Xiao Ai turned to Adele, who was looking at her expectantly.

She shook her head, still adorably cute.

Adele almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

You’re killing me!

Besides your “Mama’s” thoughts…

You can’t read anyone else’s mind, can you!?

Then what was the use of this ability!?

Adele was a little disappointed, she sighed and crossed her arms.

Wofoo, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Xiao Ai hadn’t read her mind, otherwise, those images were not suitable for a child her age.

Wofoo’s heart was filled with wild fantasies.

For example, taking revenge on everyone who had bullied her, which would naturally be a bloody scene.

For example, wanting to… with the person she liked, that is, with Adele, which was also indescribable.

It was great that Xiao Ai didn’t really have the ability to read minds.

And telepathy wasn’t as good as most people imagined.

It would make a simple soul complicated, taint purity with filth.

Because the world would have no secrets before her.

And without secrets, what she would face directly would often be the darkness of human nature itself.

It was great that Xiao Ai didn’t have this double-edged sword ability.

Or rather, it was great that she could only read Adele’s mind.

Because Adele was a pure and warm girl, she wouldn’t have one thing in her heart, another on her face, and another up her sleeve.

She was so sincere, and by reading Adele’s mind…

Xiao Ai would also grow up to be a kind and lovely girl in the future.

Wofoo thought optimistically.

Although reality might be very different from what she imagined.

If Xiao Ai could always read Adele’s mind… it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn’t become as cunning as a fox!

And Adele’s wish for Xiao Ai to read other people’s minds was completely dashed.

It was such a powerful cheat.

Xiao Ai seemed to sense “Mama’s” disappointment, her small, cherry-red lips trembling, looking very pitiful.

At the same time, she tightly clutched Adele’s skirt, as if she didn’t want to be abandoned, her eyes filled with a cautious desire to please.

“Mama…” she called out timidly.

As if saying, “I’m sorry… Xiao Ai is useless, but don’t abandon Xiao Ai…”

At this moment, all other thoughts in Adele’s mind vanished.

Replaced by a surge of guilt.

She – she was truly hopeless!

Always thinking about herself, selfish and greedy.

But she had let down the little girl’s pure and innocent heart.

It was undeniable that before this, Adele hadn’t completely let go of her wariness towards this unfamiliar little girl.

But looking at the purity and vulnerability in Xiao Ai’s eyes, all of Adele’s distrust instantly shattered like glass.

Even though Xiao Ai’s existence and appearance were full of mysteries…

And these mysteries couldn’t be solved by anyone…

Adele didn’t care.

She couldn’t let down Xiao Ai’s eyes, she couldn’t let down the little girl who was completely attached to her.

Otherwise, even Adele would look down on herself.

So she hugged Xiao Ai tightly, letting the little girl’s chin rest on her soft shoulder, nuzzling her soft little face.

“Silly girl… how could Mama abandon you?”

“You are Mama’s greatest harvest in this Secret Realm.”

“You’re my… little baby.”

“Mama…”

Tears shimmered in Xiao Ai’s eyes.

But it was from unprecedented emotion.

Finally… since she was born into this world in a daze…

After who knew how many centuries, how many years…

Xiao Ai finally found a place to belong.

She called Adele “Mama,” not necessarily because Adele was really her mother.

But because for most human children, when they learned to speak, the first word they usually learned was “mama,” a loving cry.

Although Wofoo didn’t quite understand what was happening…

She was almost moved to tears by this touching scene.

Because the atmosphere was infectious.

Moreover, she herself was a little wolf raised by her mother.

She knew the greatness of a mother all too well.

With Xiao Ai’s company, Adele would definitely become more mature in the future.

At least become a less unreliable adult~

Looking at the tears in Xiao Ai’s eyes, although they sparkled with happiness, Adele still found them an eyesore.

So she reached out and gently wiped them away with her fingertip.

The little girl who looked just like her.

The little girl who called her “Mama.”

She didn’t want you to cry.

And she wouldn’t let anyone make you cry!

Otherwise, she would definitely make them pay a heavy price.

Even if Adele couldn’t do it herself, she could call for help, call for many, many beautiful older sisters whom Xiao Ai didn’t know to vent her anger for Xiao Ai!

If Xiao Ai could leave this Secret Realm…

Adele could already foresee her being pampered by everyone in the future.

But in that case… wouldn’t Adele, who was originally the pampered one, be at a disadvantage?

Adele quickly shook her head, she shouldn’t be selfish.

Moreover, Adele also understood that being pampered and “being pampered” were different.

The pampering for Xiao Ai was more about care.

And the pampering for Adele was more about love and affection.

They were on different tracks, how could they compete?

Adele comforted Xiao Ai, took her little hand, and looked at the Gryphon monster that was still waiting outside the cave.

Adele then remembered that she had something to ask Xiao Ai.

And it was something very important!

“Xiao Ai, that monster outside… can you really control it?”

Xiao Ai, immersed in the warmth of “Mama’s” hand, had a sweet smile on her face.

Hearing “Mama” ask her, she blinked her beautiful big eyes and thought for a moment.

Then she nodded.

Adele and Wofoo’s eyes widened in shock.

And Xiao Ai seemed to realize that this was a very useful ability for “Mama.”

Wanting to show off in front of Adele, the little girl excitedly pulled Adele’s finger, trying to lead her outside the cave.

Adele relaxed her body and followed the cute little figure.

It was a dangerous move, who knew if Xiao Ai was telling the truth, what if the Gryphon outside suddenly attacked?

But for some reason, Adele felt an inexplicable trust in the little girl.

And even if the Gryphon did attack…

She would protect Xiao Ai!

Otherwise, what was the point of her working so hard to learn magic!?

Besides self-preservation, hadn’t Adele also had the thought of “You protect me now, and one day, I will protect you”!

Her selfishness always melted away in the face of “love”!

Chapter 257: Mama~

After seeing Wofoo’s tail, Adele was incredibly angry.

But not at Wofoo.

She kept asking,

“Is the gray fog gone? Let’s go kill those bastards now, meow!”

Those bastards, of course, referred to the vampires who had bullied Wofoo in the past.

Adele wanted to kill them all.

If she met her own “wings,” like Hermione and Dorothy, she would also make them join her revenge.

Adele swore to stir up a storm of chaos in this Blood Secret Realm.

Anyway, it also followed the rules of the Blood Trial, competing for points, or rather, only a few, or even just one, could be the final victor.

“Not yet,” Wofoo replied with a smile, having gone to check the situation.

After a while,

“Is the gray fog gone yet!?”

“Not yet.”

Wofoo’s voice was gentle as she came to Adele, wrapping her arms around the girl, offering comfort.

She had returned from the cave entrance again, where, with her werewolf’s superior eyesight, she saw the monster in the gray fog.

It was a huge Gryphon with tattered wings, looking old but still majestic and terrifying.

It had lost its original vibrant feathers and fur, instead, it was covered in what looked like unwashable ash, completely corrupted into a monster.

Or perhaps, it never had any signs of life in the first place.

It was this ash-like state that gave it the power to move and kill intruders based on instinct.

Adele pouted in dissatisfaction.

“This is so troublesome, why don’t we just go out now!” the girl said willfully, but Wofoo immediately vetoed it.

If it was a slightly weaker otherworldly creature or monster, Wofoo might agree with Adele’s suggestion.

But that was a majestic Gryphon.

Whether in any myths and legends, or in travel stories recorded in the magic world, the Gryphon’s power was undeniable.

Wofoo didn’t think that she and Adele could defeat that behemoth without getting injured.

Moreover, defeating it wouldn’t drop any resources or equipment like in a game.

These monsters would only disappear into ashes, while those who challenged them would pay a heavy price.

It was a high-risk, low-reward situation.

So Wofoo finally persuaded Adele, who was eager to vent her anger.

Adele could only curse in her heart, but on the surface, she was still “Obedient Adele.jpg.”

She didn’t actually think Gryphons were that powerful, she had even surpassed a Cat-Bird, which was even more legendary than a Gryphon!

First Snow: Meow!

But what neither of them expected was…

They didn’t go looking for trouble with the Gryphon…

But the Gryphon seemed to have found them.

The ground trembled, accompanied by a hoarse shriek.

Wofoo and Adele exchanged glances, both surprised and nervous.

Wasn’t it said that the monsters in the gray fog only had vision, no other senses!?

That was why they only needed to find an obstacle to hide from these monsters.

Could it be that the experience passed down by the vampire elders was fake?

Wofoo gritted her teeth, she was sure that she hadn’t been discovered by the Gryphon…

But to explain why the Gryphon was coming towards them…

The only one to blame was herself, who had left the cave to scout.

Therefore, Wofoo’s heart was filled with guilt towards Adele, more than unease.

It was because of her that Adele was in danger.

But Adele didn’t want to see such an expression on the girl’s face.

She reached out and stroked Wofoo’s ear.

This was the first time Wofoo had exposed her wolf ears for so long in front of others, not in private.

It made her feel like this was normal.

But in reality, there weren’t many vampires who could tolerate her wolf ears.

Adele was the most precious one among them.

“It’s just a Gryphon, I would be more impressed if it was a Chimera. Wofoo, let’s take it down together~”

“Trust me, it will be fine!”

The Chimera was another magical creature, also known as a “monster,” different from Gryphons and Cat-Birds.

It had the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and a tail made of a python, grotesque and terrifying, it was also one of the most classic chimeric monsters in Western fantasy.

Gryphons were far weaker than it, and also far weaker than Cat-Birds, who were naturally attuned to magic.

With Adele’s encouragement, Wofoo’s nervousness and unease subsided a lot.

And she felt that as long as Adele was by her side, no matter how bad the situation… she could endure it.

The Gryphon stopped in front of the cave. In fact, with its huge body, it wasn’t easy for it to enter.

But Adele and Wofoo were worried that the Gryphon had discovered them and would crush the ground, causing a cave-in.

That would be troublesome, so Adele and Wofoo didn’t plan to wait passively, but to take the initiative at the right time.

But to their surprise, after the Gryphon stopped, it was unusually quiet outside the cave.

Adele was ready to cast magic at any time, as for Wofoo, she was a Body Technique type vampire, coupled with the werewolf’s berserker talent, she possessed strength far exceeding that of ordinary Body Technique type vampires.

Both of them cautiously walked out of the cave and looked towards the entrance.

They could see the Gryphon’s terrifying gray claws, deeply embedded in the soil, but it didn’t make any further movements.

Just as Adele and Wofoo looked at each other, wondering if they should strike first…

A soft “thud” came.

A girl in a red dress fell from the Gryphon’s back.

Because she was still far away, they could only make out her general features.

She looked like a human child.

Compared to the petite Adele, the girl’s figure was too small, only reaching Adele’s waist.

“Danger!” Adele couldn’t help but blurt out.

It was no wonder that she reacted so strongly, anyone who saw this scene would put aside all other thoughts and prioritize the little girl’s safety.

That was, the combination of the Gryphon monster that emerged from the gray fog and a living little girl.

Adele didn’t doubt that the Gryphon, which had already lost its soul and consciousness, could kill the little girl, who didn’t know why she was in this Secret Realm, with a single swipe of its claws.

But Wofoo was clearly calmer, and her eyesight was sharper. She clearly saw the moment the girl in the red dress fell from the Gryphon’s back.

A chill ran down her spine.

What unknown secret was hidden behind this seemingly innocent little girl?

Could she control the monsters in the gray fog?

At this moment, compared to facing the lifeless Gryphon, Wofoo was more wary of the little girl who had appeared so strangely.

She grabbed Adele’s arm.

“Don’t be impulsive, Adele… something’s not right with her!”

“The Gryphon is obeying her commands!”

“What…!”

Adele’s struggling stopped, her eyes widening.

At this moment, her reason returned, and she instantly realized that the appearance of a living being in the gray fog was far more terrifying than a dead monster.

Thinking of this, she also felt a chill down her spine.

But unlike Adele and Wofoo, who were instantly on high alert…

The little girl in the red dress looked innocent and pure.

She looked around, then her gaze landed on Adele in the distance.

The little girl’s eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, she ran towards the cave.

This made Adele and Wofoo unsure whether to flee or not.

In a normal adventure, seeing a terrifying monster rushing towards you, it would be natural to turn and run for your life.

But what if the so-called “monster” was a cute little child?

Wouldn’t it be too cowardly to just run away!?

After entering the cave, with the gray fog no longer obscuring their vision, Adele and Wofoo could finally see the little girl’s face clearly.

Two eyes, two ears, a nose, and a mouth, all in the right places, her features incredibly beautiful, her skin as white and soft as snow.

But even so, the little girl’s presence still felt eerie.

Wofoo even thought she looked familiar, but after recalling her poor werewolf relatives, she couldn’t think of any child who was lucky enough to be so beautiful.

But when she turned to look at Adele, whose expression was now filled with shock…

Wofoo’s heart trembled.

She finally understood the source of that eerie feeling!

Because the little girl’s appearance…

Was almost identical to a younger version of Adele!

The same cherry blossom pink eyes, the same delicate features, and the same cute and charming demeanor.

Seeing that no one was welcoming her, the little girl pouted, seemingly throwing a tantrum, and mumbled something, repeating a certain word.

This was very similar to Adele when she was angry and acting coquettishly!

“What is this…?”

Everything in front of her was completely beyond Wofoo’s imagination, she didn’t know what to say.

She couldn’t possibly ask Adele, who was equally confused: Could this be Adele’s illegitimate daughter?

Although Adele was emotionally rich, she wouldn’t have a daughter in secret!

And this wasn’t outside the academy…

But the Blood Secret Realm, which could only be opened by True Ancestors!

“I’m also confused…”

Adele was indeed confused at this moment, she didn’t know what to do.

The Gryphon crisis was completely forgotten.

Of course, it was also because the Gryphon was quiet, as if obeying the little girl’s commands, not disturbing this special reunion.

The little girl who looked exactly like Adele finally arrived in front of her.

One big and one small, they stared at each other.

Adele held her breath, and the little girl imitated Adele and held her breath too.

The similarity between them at this moment…

It was like a scaled-down figure and a figurine!

But the little girl soon couldn’t hold it in anymore and exhaled.

Okay, she was a breathing creature, which made Adele feel a little relieved.

And the little girl, seemingly not understanding why Adele was looking at her like that, tilted her head.

The instant cuteness overload made Adele’s heart race.

She quickly repeated in her heart,

I’m not a lolicon!, I’m not a lolicon!

Or rather, if she really was a lolicon, Adele had reached a new level.

—-The highest level of being a lolicon, even being atracted to her younger self!

Of course, this wasn’t to say that the little girl in the red dress was Adele as a child.

It was just that they looked too similar, looking at her was like looking at her younger self.

The head tilt wasn’t enough, “Little Adele” suddenly opened her arms, clearly asking for a hug!

Now, not to mention Adele, even Wofoo, who was standing beside her, almost couldn’t resist.

She couldn’t resist Adele in the first place, let alone a double-dose of cuteness, a younger version of Adele.

This was the ultimate weapon of cuteness!

It even made Wofoo have strange fantasies…

Would her and Adele’s daughter look like this…

Then hugging her… wouldn’t it be like hugging her future daughter?

With this strange thought in mind, Wofoo’s gaze towards the little girl was no longer filled with suspicion and hostility, but gradually softened with tenderness.

Seeing this, Adele was shocked.

What!? Did this little girl also have the charm ability of her witch form!?

Otherwise, why would her little wolf, Wofoo, show such a fascinated expression!?

Just now, Wofoo was the one telling Adele to be careful.

But in the blink of an eye, she herself had fallen for the little girl’s cuteness!

But more than that, what Adele should be more concerned about was – her mind and body were gradually becoming dissonant.

Mentally, she didn’t fully trust the little girl in front of her, she was even suspicious and uneasy.

But her body, against Adele’s own will, couldn’t help but step forward, her arms even opening involuntarily, as if to hug the little girl.

Oh no! Why was she also charmed!?

Was this the power of “kawaii”!?

Adele suddenly felt that if her younger self was the one conquering the girls… perhaps the process would be much easier.

Because “herself” was simply too cute, meow!

Even First Snow, who held the number one spot on Adele’s cuteness ranking, had to take a step back and become number two because of this little girl.

First Snow, I’m sorry!

But First Snow probably wouldn’t be angry with Adele because of this.

After all, she had already passed her childhood and become an adolescent Cat-Bird.

In other words, having become a “girl” in the human sense, the evaluation she hoped for should no longer be “cute,” but “mature” and “sexy,” meow.

The little girl seemed a little dissatisfied with Adele’s slow movements, her cherry blossom-colored eyes quickly welling up with tears.

Now, Adele had to surrender!

She immediately crouched down and pulled the little girl into her arms, hugging her preciously.

That soft and fragile feeling, the urge to protect her at all costs, was unforgettable.

At this moment, she didn’t want to think.

Besides hugging the little girl and making the sad expression disappear from her cute little face, she had no other thoughts.

No matter what strange abilities the little girl had.

No matter whether she was a being born from the gray fog, whether she had the terrifying ability to control the creatures of the gray fog.

Adele only knew…

That if she didn’t hug her, she would feel heartbroken.

A heartache that felt like her heart, bones, and blood were all connected to the little girl’s.

Wasn’t that what family was…

What a strange thought.

How could she have a daughter?

But it was at this moment, when Adele unconditionally embraced the little girl…

That a soft, childish voice, like a thunderclap, exploded beside Adele’s ear.

It turned out that the little girl wasn’t mute.

She could speak.

And she could even call out,

—

“Mama~”

Chapter 256: It’s So Great to Like You

Time rewinds to the moment the gray fog descended.

Inside the Secret Realm’s cave, Adele had just finished drinking Wofoo’s blood.

At this point, they hadn’t yet begun their hunt for points.

The girl was just leaning softly against Wofoo, waiting for the gray fog to dissipate.

The bonfire crackled, a warm and intimate atmosphere enveloping the two girls.

Adele, finding the wait tedious, started playing with hand shadows on the cave wall.

First, a wolf, accompanied by cute “Awoo” sounds.

Of course, it was Adele making the sounds, Wofoo was too embarrassed.

She just watched the girl’s antics, a gentle smile on her slightly pale face, the result of Adele’s earlier blood-drinking.

Then, a rabbit, which required both hands and a complicated posture.

Adele tried several times and finally succeeded, giggling.

Wofoo was also happy about this, and the cute little rabbit was indeed the impression Adele always gave.

Then, she asked Wofoo to learn how to make a “wolf” hand shadow.

On the cave wall, the wolf and the rabbit started “fighting.”

It was said to be fighting, but it was actually just Adele playfully “bullying” the wolf Wofoo made.

In the end, the rabbit “ate” the wolf.

The girl’s hands wrapped around Wofoo’s outstretched hand, holding it tightly against her chest.

Then, they looked at each other and couldn’t help but lean closer.

Under the flickering firelight, their shadows merged.

A long time passed…

Adele finally parted her lips, satisfied, her hand moving to Wofoo’s chest, playfully caressing the soft flesh.

Wofoo blushed, looking shy.

But she didn’t resist at all, her body even unconsciously responded, pushing her chest forward slightly as she shifted her position.

Adele’s hand gradually stopped moving, and her gaze lifted.

She met Wofoo’s eyes, which seemed to sense something.

Her pink eyes seemed to hold a certain magic, like a whirlpool in the deep sea, capable of drawing anyone’s mind in.

Making Wofoo unconsciously call out the girl’s name for the first time,

“Adele…”

An inexplicable emotion surged within her, making Wofoo desperately want to express it.

But when she was about to speak, the words were stuck in her throat, she didn’t know what to say.

“What’s wrong~?”

And Adele, like a mischievous little elf, seemed to see through Wofoo’s thoughts, but slyly remained silent.

She was waiting for Wofoo to take the initiative.

If Wofoo gave up in the end…

Adele would naturally be disappointed.

But after the disappointment, she would understand that she had disturbed Wofoo.

Perhaps her appearance wasn’t a good thing for Wofoo.

Wofoo didn’t have the determination to pursue a distant future with Adele yet.

Adele wouldn’t blame her for her weakness, she would just be a little sad.

And then they would return to their respective paths, treating this as a beautiful dream.

Wofoo’s heart was tangled, like a ball of yarn, she couldn’t find a way to unravel it.

Everything in the past became a stumbling block, hindering her courage, making her unable to make up her mind.

She didn’t dare to respond to Adele’s expectations.

Because compared to the radiant girl, Wofoo suddenly realized that she was actually just struggling to survive in vampire society.

She was just a “bug” who could only live in dark corners, struggling to survive, begging for life!

How was she qualified to stand beside Adele?

To make Adele lose face because of her!?

Tears welled up in Wofoo’s eyes.

Tears were about to burst from the heavy pressure.

Wofoo wanted to turn her head away, not wanting Adele to see her embarrassing appearance.

She didn’t want Adele to see her weakness.

But Adele reached out and cupped her face.

“I don’t want you to look away, Wofoo! Look at me…”

Adele seemed to sense Wofoo’s avoidance and sadness, her expression becoming serious, her voice sounding pitiful.

She had thought that she could calmly face Wofoo’s avoidance.

But seeing the deep sadness in Wofoo’s eyes, Adele realized that perhaps she was wrong.

And Wofoo simply didn’t dare to be “right.”

Why did the seemingly weak Adele have more courage…

While the seemingly strong Wofoo was so weak?

It was because Wofoo couldn’t even hope that Adele wouldn’t be affected by her identity, that Adele wouldn’t be discriminated against like her…

She couldn’t even do that.

How could she have the face to pursue the radiant Adele?

Everyone’s life experiences were different, just like a stray couldn’t promise a rich girl a future.

Wofoo knew deeply that their encounter was just a beautiful dream.

When the dream was over, it was time to return to reality.

“Adele, don’t…”

“I don’t know… I don’t dare to.”

Wofoo’s voice was tinged with tears.

“Don’t dare to what? Don’t dare to look at me, or don’t dare to… I want you to say it, otherwise, I won’t give up.”

“Say what you really want to say to me, Wofoo.”

Adele had forced Wofoo to the edge of a cliff.

Either admit it or deny it, there was no in-between.

This matter had to be said by Wofoo herself.

This was Adele’s persistence.

But it wasn’t entirely for herself.

It was more for Wofoo to break through the barrier in her heart.

It wasn’t just those with privileged conditions who had the right to love.

No one knew what went through Wofoo’s mind as they gazed into each other’s eyes.

But the girl’s expression changed from tears of near breakdown to gritted teeth, her ears perking up like a real wolf’s.

Wofoo’s wolf nature, and more importantly, her refusal to give up, her soul’s cry of defiance, gave her the same determination she had when hunting down the vampire girl who had bullied her.

There was no turning back.

Then she might as well go all the way.

Similarly, this love was also a precious feeling that Wofoo had spent all her luck in this life to obtain.

She wouldn’t let it slip away.

So…

“Adele, I like you!”

“I really like you!”

“From the moment you said ‘we’re the same,’ from the moment you touched my ears, I already… liked you a little…”

But it was just a hazy, beautiful longing, like a hungry dog seeing the moon reflected in the river.

But she was a little better than a dog, she knew it was an illusion, she knew it was a “cake” she couldn’t eat.

But she jumped into the river that even a dog wouldn’t jump into, ignoring the coldness and wetness.

She just wanted to be with the moon.

But the moon, which should have been an illusion, floated up from the bottom of the river.

Carrying her all the way to the sky, to the ethereal clouds.

“I still want… Adele to touch my ears.”

“I want Adele to touch more places… it feels really good.”

“I want to give everything to Adele, I don’t know if it’s just me, or if everyone in love feels this way.”

Adele’s eyes softened again, she no longer worried about Wofoo, her heart filled with joy as she listened to the girl’s rare honesty and outburst.

As for the answer to this question, of course, everyone in love felt this way.

At least everyone Adele had met… felt this way.

They were all so good, Adele felt very happy that Wofoo had the same realization.

“Anyway… Adele, I apologize for my behavior just now.”

“What… behavior?”

“J-just now…” Wofoo swallowed, she was much braver than usual.

“When you were thirsty, you tried to take off my pants…”

“I didn’t agree at that time… and I struggled, and Adele didn’t force me, so you stopped.”

“Ahem…” Adele looked guilty.

Did… did that really happen?

But she knew very well how thirsty she was when she was in a state of bloodlust.

Just now, she wasn’t even truly bloodthirsty, so she knew even better that it was what she had done.

But Adele thought that Wofoo was shy, so she didn’t continue.

And now, Wofoo brought it up again.

Adele was incredibly embarrassed.

It was like completely exposing her lewd side.

Adele still wanted to maintain a reserved and pure image in Wofoo’s heart!

But in a sense, she had indeed achieved this.

She didn’t know how Wofoo had been “bewitched” by her to think that a girl who wanted to touch her ears the moment they met and tried to take off her pants when thirsty was pure…

Love truly made people blind.

So blind that Wofoo even wanted to apologize for stopping Adele from taking off her pants.

“That kind of thing… it was my fault,” Adele said sincerely.

“It was Wofoo who has been tolerating my willfulness.”

“Thank you, Wofoo.”

Wofoo blushed.

She didn’t think… she was that good.

“A-anyway, if Adele still wants to continue – I’m willing!”

“Eh!?”

“And… isn’t Adele always curious… about what my tail looks like?”

Wofoo seemed to be under a lot of pressure, but she gritted her teeth, almost making a cracking sound, determined to be completely honest with the girl she liked.

“Now, I can also… show it to Adele!”

This was what true honesty meant.

Adele was touched by Wofoo’s determination.

At this moment, besides hugging Wofoo tightly and nuzzling her cheek, she didn’t know how else to express her feelings.

Generally speaking, a girl who was touched in this situation would definitely reject Wofoo’s offer.

But Adele wasn’t an ordinary person, and throwing back the other person’s heartfelt offer, what was the point of such self-righteousness?

Adele’s way of interacting in a relationship was to readily accept whatever the other person offered, and then reciprocate in various ways.

So Adele gently kissed Wofoo’s cheek, then knelt up straight, her hands on her knees, looking nervous.

“Then… could Wofoo please kneel on the ground…”

“Like a dog?”

“Ahem, w-well, not exactly!”

But it was pretty much the same.

Adele thought, Wofoo, you’re really hitting the nail on the head.

After all, this posture was very similar to what dogs did when they were… doing what they liked to do.

There was also a term called “doggy style,” good children shouldn’t search for it!

Wofoo didn’t hesitate and immediately assumed the position Adele wanted.

It had to be said that after overcoming the hurdle in her heart…

Everything became clear to the girl.

She no longer felt ashamed of this, nor did she think that her “defect” was unsuitable to be shown to Adele.

Because she knew…

That Adele’s feelings for her were also genuine.

If Adele was the kind of person who would despise her because of this…

Then she wouldn’t be the Adele that Wofoo liked.

“Then… should I take them off?”

Wofoo didn’t refuse, which meant she agreed.

The reason she didn’t speak was because she was also affected by shyness.

Adele looked at the plump, peach-like buttocks in front of her, her hands itching to touch them.

This, this, this… was too amazing!

Ahem, calm down, calm down.

The focus shouldn’t be on the butt.

But on the tail, right?

Thinking of this, Adele did find traces of a tail on Wofoo’s rear.

There was a slight bulge.

Adele poked it, it was soft, a ball of fur.

It reminded her of the cotton ball on a bunny girl’s backside.

Perhaps Wofoo’s was the same?

Thinking of this, Adele’s curiosity prompted her to reach out, hold Wofoo’s waist, and slide her fingers into Wofoo’s waistband.

Not to mention the feeling, it was indescribably good, this feeling of holding someone’s waist from behind… exciting!

With a little force from Adele, and Wofoo’s cooperation…

Adele pulled down Wofoo’s ordinary women’s pants to just above her knees.

Perfectly revealing her plump buttocks and full, white thighs.

But Wofoo couldn’t help but gasp, whether from the cold or something else, her knees involuntarily clenching together.

As for Adele, her attention wasn’t on these.

But on the fluffy tuft of fur peeking out from the opening of Wofoo’s pure white panties.

“This is… Wofoo’s tail…”

Adele reached out and gently touched it. Ash-gray, fluffy, not ugly, and soft.

But it looked a little out of place compared to the girl’s athletic figure.

But then, her fingers probed into the fur, touching a slightly pointed end.

It was the root left after the tail was docked…

At this moment, any lewd thoughts in Adele’s mind vanished.

Instead, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and rolled down.

They landed on the back of Adele’s hand, and she quickly wiped them away, her eyes wide open, trying to force the tears back.

She didn’t want Wofoo to see that she was crying.

She didn’t want Wofoo to worry…

“It’s not very pretty, is it? I’m sorry,” Wofoo said softly.

“Don’t apologize, you idiot!”

“Ugh…”

Wofoo didn’t expect Adele to get angry.

A wronged kind of anger.

But it wasn’t directed at Wofoo, but at those who had hurt her…

“The ones who should apologize… are those bastards!”

Those vampires in Twilight City who oppressed them, who forced them to resort to such measures!

“…”

It seemed that Adele already knew the reason why Wofoo’s tail was docked.

Wofoo’s eyes stung.

But it wasn’t anything unusual.

Many werewolf hybrids would remove their tails, leaving only their wolf ears.

They did this to convert, to gain a chance to live as normal vampires.

Wofoo’s tail docking surgery… was performed by her own mother.

The girl wasn’t special, she was even a volunteer.

But this didn’t mean that they, who were forced by society to develop such a custom, weren’t worthy of pity and salvation!

Adele couldn’t speak, she helped Wofoo pull up her pants, then turned her around, pulled her into an embrace, and kissed her repeatedly.

Comforting her in this way, also venting her own sadness.

The only thing Wofoo felt during this process…

Was – it was so great to have fallen for Adele.

Chapter 255: The Little Girl in Red p2

Wofoo obeyed without hesitation.

Or rather, she felt like she would do anything Adele asked her to do at this moment.

She lowered her head, offering her fair neck, with its faintly visible blue veins, to Adele’s lips.

Although it was her first time doing this, Wofoo’s heart wasn’t filled with nervousness, but with a martyr-like luck and satisfaction.

Ahem, not really a martyr…

But religious believers, for their faith, could indeed readily give up everything, even their lives.

Wofoo’s emotions were similar to this.

They could endure anything unbearable for a certain belief or person.

For Wofoo today, it was enduring the small matter of being “bitten” by Adele.

Naturally, compared to nervousness and fear, it was more of a sense of satisfaction from devotion.

Adele also seemed to realize this, a predatory smile appearing on her lips as she opened them, revealing her small, white fangs, about the length of a pinky finger.

Then, with a vampire’s innate sensitivity to blood, she accurately bit into the slightly tense blood vessels in Wofoo’s neck.

She started drinking the wild blood of the werewolf-vampire hybrid.

Gradually, as if influenced by the blood, Adele also became a little crazed, the scarlet in her eyes like the swirling wine in a glass.

She desperately, unrestrainedly drank Wofoo’s blood.

If it were a smaller, weaker girl, it would be hard not to worry about Adele’s gluttony burdening and harming the girl’s body.

But with Wofoo, and especially Wofoo who had just absorbed Blood Essence, there was no need for such concerns.

She even wanted Adele to drink slower, after all… she had plenty.

She could satisfy Adele, whether it was today or in the future…

Whether it was blood, or…

“Ah~”

Wofoo, who had been biting her lip, suddenly let out a moan, which was especially noticeable in the quiet cave.

Outside the cave was the gray fog that enveloped the Secret Realm, who would have thought that under such circumstances, two delicate girls would be intertwined?

Wofoo was startled by Adele’s sudden movement.

But then she reacted and quickly bit her lip to stop herself from making any more sounds.

She realized that this was a normal side effect for vampire girls after entering a state of bloodlust, they would often develop varying degrees of desire for the person whose blood they were drinking.

And a large portion of vampires even enjoyed the passionate entanglement during bloodlust.

Compared to them, Adele was already very reserved.

She just kneaded Wofoo’s full and perky breasts.

But Wofoo’s body, which had never been intimate with any girl before, was very sensitive and quickly lost its strength under Adele’s touch.

Before she knew it, their positions reversed.

Adele straddled Wofoo’s waist, playing with her as she pleased.

But in the depths of Adele’s hazy eyes, there was a particularly clear and alert soul.

She liked seeing Wofoo’s passionate reaction to her.

And she enjoyed the process of taming this wild wolf.

After today, their relationship was destined to change.

And that was exactly what Adele hoped for.

Just as the two were enjoying each other’s bodies, the cave warm with their passion…

Outside the cave, it was a world enveloped in gray fog.

Within the fog, countless mindless monsters, their bodies ashen gray, a testament to their unnatural origins, were born, driven by a single instinct: to attack any living being.

They were called monsters, but upon closer inspection, they all had characteristics of known races.

Some had wings and clawed feet, floating aimlessly, their wings flapping.

These should be the legendary Winged People, extremely rare, a small number of them still living in the areas designated for them by humans.

Some wielded large axes, their iron hooves easily cracking rocks, their upper bodies bare, their lower bodies that of powerful horses.

Clearly, these were Centaurs.

But they might possess ancient bloodlines, otherwise, it couldn’t explain why they were so huge, almost as tall as trees.

There were also other races, Beastmen with thick fur, sturdy Dwarves, mutilated Gryphons without tails, Fishmen who had come ashore…

This scene was too terrifying, no one knew why they were born.

And were they… once living beings in some period of history?

How long had they been wandering in this Secret Realm, and what were they searching for, or guarding?

Anyone would be curious about these things, but compared to exploring the secrets hidden behind them, the vampires who were still in the Secret Realm were more concerned about how to survive this gray fog.

Except for a small number of Sequence One vampires who could also be called “monsters,” such as Dorothy and Kaiser…

They didn’t care about the gray fog, they continued moving forward, using the monsters as training targets.

Most of the other vampires chose to hide and wait.

But there were also some unlucky ones who had monsters spawn beside them when the gray fog arrived.

So they had to face these unfamiliar and terrifying monsters.

When a Centaur’s giant axe swung down towards her head, the vampire girl, who had already used all her strength, could only watch as she was eliminated, experiencing the feeling of near-death.

And in her terrified eyes, reflected on the sharp axe blade…

There was more than just the Centaur’s huge body.

There was also a little girl in a red dress, walking alone in the gray fog, out of place with her surroundings.

She was very young, her expression unclear from afar, but she seemed to be walking towards a certain destination.

But for some reason, including the Centaur…

All the gray monsters ignored her.

They even unconsciously avoided her.

As if sensing the vampire girl’s gaze…

The little girl in the red dress, who looked no more than five or six years old, suddenly looked back.

Before the vampire girl could see her eyes clearly, the last thing she remembered was the eerie smile on the little girl’s lips.

At the moment she truly experienced “death,” she was protected by Lady Chen Xi’s magic and teleported back to the underground palace.

The girl was still trembling all over, the first thing she did was to check if her head was still attached to her body, not rolling on the ground after being chopped off by the giant axe.

Then, she confirmed her memory…

It wasn’t an illusion, that eerie little girl in the red dress was real!

If she wasn’t a vampire participating in the Blood Trial…

Then who was she?

Was there another way to enter the Secret Realm?

Or… was she simply a being born from the Secret Realm itself?

The vampire girl didn’t dare to neglect this matter.

More importantly, she realized that this might be her greatest harvest from this Blood Trial, far more important than Blood Essence!

So, ignoring the lingering fear in her body, she stumbled towards the True Ancestors, her arms wrapped around herself, trembling.

“Great True Ancestors…!”

She cried out, attracting the attention of the other eliminated girls, and also the attention of the True Ancestors.

“She looks terrified,” True Ancestor Snyder said softly.

“Then let me manipulate your emotions.”

He gracefully extended his hand, and a blood droplet, like a seed, slowly condensed from his fingertip and floated in the air.

Lady Chen Xi frowned slightly, but before she could stop him…

The blood droplet entered the vampire girl’s forehead.

The girl’s fear and trembling instantly disappeared as the blood droplet was absorbed.

She became calm and natural, elegant and noble, in an instant.

Except for the lack of “self” in her eyes, she looked perfect.

Not like a girl who had just been defeated and escaped from a life-or-death battle in the Secret Realm…

But like a princess about to attend a ball, reserved and dignified.

She walked gracefully towards the three True Ancestors, her skirt trailing behind her, and curtsied.

“Your Excellencies.”

It had to be said, the girl had a beautiful face and lovely hair.

And Snyder returned the courtesy, gently taking her slender hand and kissing it.

“My dear lady.”

“Sometimes I admire your… leisure and disregard for ethics,” Lady Chen Xi said sarcastically.

Snyder was truly the worst True Ancestor.

He was actually attracted to a girl who was about the same age as his “great-great-great… granddaughter.”

He was once known as the “Manipulator,” the meaning was simple: turning people into his puppets.

Using this method, he had usurped the thrones of many kingdoms, enjoying their beautiful queens and princesses, leaving behind a legacy of either wisdom or debauchery in history.

It was truly despicable behavior, but as a powerful being, he had the ability to play the game of life like this.

Sometimes, other True Ancestors admired him for how he could still maintain his vigor and desires after so many years.

It was a truly enviable ability, even more so than his “manipulation” ability.

True Ancestor Ron, beside him, was the complete opposite.

He was like an ascetic, almost detached from worldly affairs, spending his life pursuing the meaning of life inwardly.

Snyder smiled faintly, ignoring Lady Chen Xi’s words.

He was also concerned about what was happening in the Secret Realm, as for this beautiful girl in front of him, he could enjoy her after learning everything.

“Now, tell me what you saw and heard in the Secret Realm.”

“Yes, your Excellency.”

The beautiful vampire girl’s eyes glazed over slightly as she began to recount her experience in the Secret Realm obediently.

Including the descent of the gray fog, the Centaur monsters, and the little girl in the red dress who appeared in the eerie gray fog.

The first two were still within the True Ancestors’ expectations.

But the moment the news about the little girl came out, even Snyder’s pupils couldn’t help but tremble.

Lady Chen Xi also gasped slightly, her expression one of disbelief.

As for True Ancestor Ron, this ascetic-like powerhouse hidden under his robes, instantly wanted to enter the Blood Secret Realm without any hesitation.

But he was quickly stopped by the other two True Ancestors.

At their level, there was no need for verbal communication, they could understand each other’s intentions through mental fluctuations.

— She couldn’t be that great being!

— Entering the Secret Realm now could be fatal!

Even a True Ancestor could perish?

What kind of dangerous secrets did the Blood Secret Realm hold?

Then why, under such circumstances, did they still dare to let the younger generation of vampires enter it for training?

Or rather, would the young vampires be safe inside, except for encountering the gray fog?

But when a True Ancestor entered, it would trigger an unpredictable disaster?

Or was there a force in the Secret Realm specifically targeting True Ancestors?

Combining all the information, this seemed to be the most likely answer.

Ron gradually calmed down, rashly entering the Secret Realm was indeed foolish.

More importantly, the spread of the gray fog was constantly causing vampire girls to be teleported out of the Blood Secret Realm.

The True Ancestors could ask them for more information about the little girl in the red dress.

As expected, among these young vampires who were killed by the monsters in the gray fog, many said that they had seen the little girl in the red dress.

But after a while, as the gray fog began to dissipate, the young vampires who were eliminated from the Secret Realm often couldn’t answer any questions about it.

Even Snyder, with his manipulation ability, could only confirm that they weren’t lying.

This meant that the little girl in the red dress, who seemed to be searching for something…

—-Had finally found what she was looking for, whether it was a person or an object.

During this time, on the long-ignored leaderboard, Kaiser’s name had reached the top.

And Princess Dorothy, whom she considered her rival, was only ranked somewhere in the middle.

Dorothy’s goal wasn’t to gain points or find more Blood Essence.

But to find Adele, the girl she cherished, and protect her.

But it seemed that Adele didn’t need her protection for now.

Because the girl’s ranking was rising, keeping pace with Wofoo’s.

This could only mean one thing.

Adele and Wofoo, this “hunter and wolf” duo…

Had finally begun their “revenge” and hunt.

Chapter 255: The Little Girl in Red p1

The naive little wolf who trusted humans.

The little wolf who sought comfort from humans after being hurt by her own kind.

The docile and obedient little wolf…

Born to be tamed into a dog, right?

Wofoo was different from Celeste.

Celeste had always been an adorable golden retriever.

But Wofoo, she still had her guard up, her ferocity, her wildness… so much of it.

But these were nothing.

Adele was naturally good at breaking down these emotions.

In front of Adele, Wofoo’s guard disappeared like smoke.

Her ferocity turned into gentleness.

Her wildness became civilized.

She would become… the first wolf to be tamed.

And Adele, the seemingly weak and kind Adele, was the first hunter to dance with a wolf.

………………

At the end of the cave, the ground was dry.

Adele cleaned it with water and fire magic, not even a speck of dust remained.

The ground became clean and new, perfect for resting.

And Wofoo used her hoodie as a mattress, trying to make Adele more comfortable.

As for herself, she was only left with a plain black sports bra.

Black straps, her breasts surprisingly large and full, their shape beautiful, like ripe peaches.

Her back was almost bare.

The traces of her training could be seen, the lines of her muscles beautiful, with an untamed wildness, particularly alluring.

Adele couldn’t take her eyes off Wofoo.

After all, in her harem, those who regularly exercised were few and far between.

Perhaps Hermione counted as one, she worked out, but she didn’t deliberately train her muscles.

It was just to stay active and maintain a beautiful figure.

As for the others, they were pure feminine beauty and softness.

They didn’t have bodies like Wofoo’s, so it was a novel experience for Adele.

Wofoo shyly tensed her body, which only made Adele more interested.

The promised “bloodlust” hadn’t started yet.

But Wofoo had already used the Blood Essence they found together.

At this moment, she felt energetic, her blood boiling, a sense of overflowing power, and her magic pathways were clearer than ever before, making her feel omnipotent.

The effect of the Blood Essence, even for her, a Sequence Two, was so obvious.

But why didn’t Adele react at all…?

Wofoo couldn’t understand, but there were more important things for her to focus on.

Adele came to her, stood on her tiptoes slightly, and placed her hands on Wofoo’s shoulders.

The girl’s face suddenly came very close, and Wofoo forgot to think, forgot to breathe.

Her eyes, however, couldn’t help but be drawn to Adele’s soft, red lips, her gaze fixed.

The next moment, a silver bell-like laughter rang out beside her ear.

“Not ready yet~?”

Adele’s words were like a tease.

The kind of tease from an older sister to a younger girl.

But… Wofoo should be the older sister, and Adele looked more like the younger one.

Wofoo finally reacted, her face blushing furiously.

She blurted out,

“R-ready!”

She desperately wanted to prove something, to prove that she wasn’t a helpless girl in front of Adele.

To prove Adele’s charm – well, she admitted, it was irresistible.

Using a gaming term that Wofoo wasn’t familiar with…

It should be called “true damage.”

Ignoring magic resistance, ignoring armor, directly affecting Wofoo’s health bar.

It was a continuous percentage-based damage over time!

“Ready?”

“Then come closer, I’m cold~”

Adele had already taken off her shoes, revealing her white stockings. She knelt on the hoodie Wofoo had just laid out, her hands resting on her pink knees, her small but beautiful breasts peeking out from her low-cut dress.

From Wofoo’s perspective, it made her, a girl who had never experienced such things, feel her blood rushing to her head, her cheeks burning hot.

“Hurry up~”

Adele urged coquettishly.

So Wofoo, like a soulless puppet, could do nothing but obey Adele’s words, she couldn’t even speak.

She came to Adele and knelt down on one knee.

Because Wofoo had never experienced a time when she was treated with care and affection as a “girl”…

So she had never tried, and probably couldn’t learn, Adele’s cute girlish sitting posture.

It would make her feel like ants were crawling all over her body.

She was more suited to kneeling on one knee like a boy.

Anyway, no other vampire would treat her as a girl.

In their eyes, Wofoo was a dirty wolf cub.

Adele chuckled, amused by Wofoo’s actions.

Because the girl was too pure and innocent, Wofoo didn’t feel offended at all.

Her consciousness was pulled back to reality by the laughter, and then, Wofoo looked at Adele’s cute face…

And she couldn’t help but smile.

A silent smile, a bit honest.

In her usually fierce, deep blue eyes, there was only gentleness.

At this moment, words were no longer needed.

It was time for action.

So Adele stopped smiling, but a hint of it still lingered on her lips.

She reached out and gently cupped Wofoo’s face, pulling her closer.

She pressed her forehead against Wofoo’s.

Deep inside the cave, with the bonfire burning, the two girls gazed into each other’s eyes.

The flames flickered in their pupils.

But it wasn’t just their pupils that were shining.

It was also their souls and spirits, and Wofoo’s body and life, which she had never thought to be radiant.

Because of Adele’s presence…

The girl’s world seemed to have light.

Wofoo, as if in a trance, stared at those eyes that brought her a long-lost sense of peace.

She watched as those cherry blossom-colored eyes slowly closed.

Then, Wofoo also closed her eyes, her heart exceptionally calm, her body completely relaxed.

She surrendered everything to the girl in front of her, letting Adele take control.

All of this was because of trust, because…

Adele felt the outline of the girl’s nose and gently touched it with her own.

It was like a gesture of goodwill between felines.

Touching noses, rubbing cheeks.

Wolves weren’t felines, but Adele was a cat-like girl.

Wofoo’s breathing deepened slightly.

Especially when Adele’s lips first touched, not her neck, but her cheek.

It was a light touch, like a butterfly landing.

But it didn’t stop Wofoo’s soul from trembling in this kiss.

Adele’s lips moved downwards, reaching Wofoo’s slightly pursed lips, but hovering there, as if she hadn’t decided to kiss them yet.

But the close distance was enough for Wofoo to feel Adele’s warm breath and the sweet fragrance between her lips.

“…Wofoo,” Adele’s soft and affectionate voice came.

She called out the girl’s name, her lips moving slightly.

“I forgot to tell you… when I’m bloodthirsty, I tend to act impulsively.”

“While I’m still sane…”

“If Wofoo doesn’t like it…”

“Reject me now… I think I can hold on until the end of the trial- Mmm~!”

But it seemed…

Wofoo, with her unprecedentedly proactive action, conveyed her true feelings to Adele.

—–If Adele wanted to go crazy, she would go crazy with her!

—–If Adele wanted everything from her body, she would give it all to her!

This was what made a wolf a wolf.

And what made a hunter a hunter?

Adele’s actions seemed to be a good interpretation of this.

Still playing hard to get.

Even a wolf… had fallen into the “trap” the hunter had prepared for her.

Although there were no sharp thorns or hidden hooks in the “trap,” only the girl’s gentleness and love…

It still brought Adele a lot of pleasure and excitement.

Especially Wofoo’s kiss.

Rough, but also deeply affectionate.

At first, Wofoo’s kiss was clumsy, she might have even bitten Adele’s lip.

Because Adele suddenly hissed during the kiss.

After that, Wofoo instantly became more alert, although still clumsy, her kiss became incredibly gentle.

And gradually, Adele took the lead.

So Wofoo, who was already unskilled in kissing, couldn’t resist even more.

Soon, she couldn’t even make a sound, her shoulders hunched, completely lost in the sensation.

She gradually lost her posture and fell forward into Adele’s embrace.

This caused their lips to separate briefly, enough for Wofoo to let out a gasp.

Then, she realized that she had completely pushed Adele down.

As for Adele, her head resting on the hoodie Wofoo had laid out for her, her arms still around Wofoo’s neck, her posture relaxed and soft, she murmured Wofoo’s name with hazy eyes,

“Wofoo…”

Wofoo quickly licked her moist lips, faintly tasting Adele’s flavor.

Like dewdrop with the fragrance of honey.

“I’m here.”

“Lower your head~”

Chapter 254: The Purpose of the Act

Shortly after Adele and Wofoo formed their hunter alliance, the dreaded gray fog descended upon the Secret Realm. Adele had heard about this phenomenon from Sharon. The Blood Trial’s Secret Realm had no conventional day or night, perpetually illuminated by an unseen light source. However, periods of thick, dark gray fog were known to occur, engulfing the entire realm. During these times, hiding was the best strategy. According to the elders who had participated in previous trials, the gray fog brought with it monstrous creatures, driven by a primal instinct to kill, devoid of reason or malice. Their origins and purpose were unknown, perhaps guardians of the realm, or perhaps protectors of some hidden treasure. Regardless, the message was clear: the gray fog was dangerous.

Adele and Wofoo, sensing the change in the atmosphere, quickly found refuge in a dark cave, its entrance hidden behind a curtain of overgrown vegetation.

“I’m a little worried about skeleton archers and zombies spawning in here,” Adele quipped, a reference lost on Wofoo. Cultural barriers, indeed.

As a transmigrator, Adele could have chosen an easier path, a life of leisure built on her knowledge from her previous world. But she had embraced this new reality, this new Adele, and with it, the challenges and dangers that came with it.

They entered the cave, Adele using a small flame, conjured with magic learned from Celeste, to illuminate their path. The cave was surprisingly clean, just a layer of dust and dried leaves easily dispelled with a gust of wind created by Adele’s rudimentary magic. And to their delight, they discovered several clusters of crimson crystals growing on the cave walls: Blood Essence.

Adele noticed Wofoo’s reaction, the girl’s breath catching in her throat, her eyes gleaming with a desperate longing. But then, with a visible effort, Wofoo broke off a palm-sized crystal and offered it to Adele.

“Here, Adele,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “This is the most precious treasure in the Secret Realm… It has an almost magical effect on enhancing bloodlines. No vampire can resist it.” It was clear that Wofoo included herself among those who craved its power. “You’re a Sequence Five,” she continued. “You need it more than I do.”

Wofoo, despite her werewolf heritage, was still a relatively high-ranking vampire, likely a Sequence Two. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be qualified to attend Cromwell Academy, let alone participate in the Blood Trial. But those past memories, the memories of discrimination and humiliation… Wofoo didn’t want to dwell on them.

Adele, looking at the Blood Essence, then at Wofoo and the cave wall behind her, had an idea. The deeper they went, the larger the cave became. Perhaps there was more Blood Essence further inside. After a moment’s consideration, she accepted the offering, her smile genuine. It wasn’t the Blood Essence itself that she valued, but the sentiment behind it, Wofoo’s willingness to prioritize Adele’s needs above her own. She wouldn’t let Wofoo’s kindness go to waste.

“Thank you, Wofoo,” Adele said, her voice warm and sincere.

To Wofoo’s surprise, she felt a sense of relief after giving away the Blood Essence, the turmoil in her heart calming. She was glad she hadn’t let greed cloud her judgment, hadn’t jeopardized her newfound friendship with Adele. After all, what was a mere treasure compared to the connection she had longed for, the kindred spirit she had finally found?

“It’s okay, I’ve already absorbed some Blood Essence,” Wofoo said, encouraging Adele to try it. “It feels amazing, Adele, you should try it~”

Adele, without hesitation, closed her eyes and channeled her magic, a faint red glow enveloping the crimson crystal.

Perhaps Blood Essence was just materialized magic power.

But could magic power… really be materialized?

This was a question that had been debated in the magic world for thousands of years.

Anyway, although it existed in legends, there were no historical records of any mage being able to materialize magic power.

Because that represented a transformation from the intangible to the tangible, as if using this magic power, one could create a part of the material world out of thin air.

This transcended the laws of space and time, vaguely touching upon the realm of creation.

But if Blood Essence wasn’t materialized magic power, then neither Adele nor Wofoo could explain why its crystalline form could be absorbed and assimilated by magic power, disappearing without a trace.

Sensing Adele’s magic, the Blood Essence began to dissolve, as if it was eager to be absorbed by the girl.

Soon, the essence transformed into pure blood elements and flowed into Adele’s body, through her fingertips, into her blood vessels, into the pathways where her magic flowed.

Adele took a deep breath, her face flushing slightly.

Wofoo swallowed nervously.

“How do you feel, Adele?”

She wanted to know if Adele felt the same as she did.

Or… even stronger?

Generally speaking, the Blood Essence was more effective for weaker vampires with lower bloodlines.

But unfortunately, weak vampires rarely had the chance to obtain Blood Essence.

This was the reality of the Secret Realm, but wasn’t it also a reflection of real society?

The same 10,000 yuan was just a small amount for the rich.

But for the poor, it was equivalent to several months, even half a year or a year’s worth of labor.

But the rich had countless ways to earn this 10,000 yuan quickly, perhaps even in seconds.

While the poor had to work very hard to earn it.

Adele, as a low-ranking vampire, her role… should be that of a rebel, right?

At least someone who would steal resources from the upper class.

Adele narrowed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, then she opened them and answered Wofoo’s question,

“If you’re talking about the feeling…”

“Does ‘delicious’ count?”

Wofoo froze, and after a while, a question mark appeared in her heart.

Delicious… what kind of description was that?

Shouldn’t it be the feeling of her bloodline being enhanced?

Of course, Wofoo wouldn’t think that the Blood Essence had no effect on Adele.

She started to think that perhaps the effect of the Blood Essence was too wonderful…

So Adele felt that it was “delicious.”

This should be the highest level of enhancement.

Thinking of this, Wofoo felt relieved and genuinely happy for Adele.

But Adele, seeing Wofoo’s happy expression, was confused.

To be honest, she felt that absorbing this thing wasn’t much different from the feeling of drinking sweet blood after being thirsty.

At most, some blood was high-quality and delicious, while some was low-quality and disgusting.

Then the blood element contained in the Blood Essence was undoubtedly the most delicious kind.

It was no worse than Dorothy’s or Hermione’s.

Among her harem, Adele’s favorite blood to taste was First Snow’s, it was milky and fragrant, and because of the hundreds of years of accumulated magic power, the satisfaction it brought to Adele was unparalleled.

But because First Snow wasn’t a vampire and wasn’t familiar with this kind of thing, and she was still young (mentally), Adele always had to coax and deceive her, and she would only taste a little bit each time.

The feeling of First Snow trembling slightly in her arms when Adele bit her neck… was amazing~

The soft little one, her hands tightly clutching Adele’s clothes, whispering “Adele… Adele…”

As if she could cover up the stinging pain in her neck this way.

And the blood Adele liked second best was probably Hermione’s.

Because Hermione’s blood was interesting, like some kind of iced drink.

If it was a hot summer day, Adele would probably want to hold Hermione and “gnaw” on her all day long.

But delicious as it was, if she encountered Blood Essence again later, Adele didn’t plan to absorb this crystal, which didn’t seem to be of much help to her strength.

Because Adele saw the care and desire in Wofoo’s eyes for it.

But even though she cared about and craved this Blood Essence so much…

She still chose to give it to Adele.

It was true that Adele liked being pampered.

But in return, making the girls who pampered her feel satisfied…

Was also something she liked to do.

It wasn’t about repaying them, it was a kind of willingness from the heart.

The two continued deeper into the cave, Adele enjoying this underground adventure.

And as Wofoo had guessed, there were several other clusters of bright crimson Blood Essence growing in the depths of the cave.

This time, it was Adele’s turn to step forward and break them off.

Then, she turned around and offered them to Wofoo, who was slightly dazed.

“Here, Wofoo~”

“…I-I don’t need it.”

Wofoo hugged herself, her body feeling like ants were crawling all over it as she said this.

She didn’t need it?

Wasn’t she entering the Secret Realm to seek an opportunity for transformation?

What was the point of just taking revenge on those who had bullied her in the Secret Realm?

When she returned to reality, she would still be bullied, and the revenge against her would be even more brutal.

So before that, Wofoo had to become stronger… strong enough that no one could bully her anymore.

At least, she had to reach the level of a mid-level Sequence One.

After all, her Sequence was inherently lower than others, and if she wanted to challenge higher-ranking vampires, she had to endure bloodline and mental suppression.

It was like someone with sandbags tied to their feet fighting someone without sandbags.

It was obvious who had the advantage.

So the Blood Essence was something Wofoo desperately craved and treasured.

Even so, if she still gritted her teeth and chose to give it to Adele…

It only proved…

That her friendship with Adele was the most important and precious thing in Wofoo’s heart.

Far more precious than Blood Essence.

“What do you mean you don’t need it? Do we still need to be so polite with each other?”

Adele’s words entered Wofoo’s ears and echoed in her heart.

Our relationship… no need to be so polite…

What relationship?

If it wasn’t just friendship…

Wofoo didn’t dare to think about it further.

At most, she would hide in the shadows and peek at that line, only daring to take a quick glance from afar.

Adele took Wofoo’s hand without hesitation, the part touched by her fingertips…

Felt slightly warm.

The girl placed the Blood Essence in Wofoo’s palm.

“Maybe I’m too weak, it’s not very useful for me,” Adele tried to comfort Wofoo with these words.

Wofoo wanted to say something like “How could it be useless…”, but…

Adele directly stopped her.

Using two fingers, of course, held up like two white scallions!

What else could she use to stop her?

Lewdness was forbidden!

“Mmm…”

Wofoo’s shoulders trembled.

“Be obedient, Little Wolf, or I’ll be angry!”

Adele’s cute and delicate face, even when “threatening” someone, still looked soft and adorable.

But what made Wofoo even more shy was… Adele’s address for her.

L-Little Wolf!?

Compared to Adele, she was clearly more like the older sister, or at least the more mature one, especially in terms of physique.

But why did being called “Little Wolf” by Adele…

Make Wofoo feel an urge to obey her from the bottom of her heart?

Seeing Wofoo waver, Adele smirked inwardly.

She still had her trump card.

The next moment, Adele’s gaze drifted, and the color drained from her cheeks, turning pale.

At the same time, the girl’s grip on Wofoo’s waist weakened.

“A-Adele!”

Wofoo didn’t know what was happening, but Adele’s weakness was obvious.

Adele shook her head.

“I… I’m fine.”

“How can you be fine!?”

Wofoo even felt that the Blood Essence in her hand was superfluous, she had the urge to throw it away and hug Adele.

Blood Essence: You’re so amazing, so noble!

But Adele waved her hand and forced a smile, explaining,

“I’m really fine, Wofoo, you’re also a vampire… you should know, I’m just thirsty.”

“Thirsty…”

Wofoo’s eyelids twitched.

Now that Adele mentioned it, it seemed to be true.

The symptoms Adele was showing almost perfectly matched those of bloodlust.

Wofoo also experienced bloodlust, she knew how it felt.

“But… where can we find a blood bag here?”

But unlike Adele, Wofoo didn’t have the opportunity to drink other people’s blood, and others weren’t willing to drink the blood of a “dirty half-breed” like her.

So since childhood, she had mostly relied on artificially made blood bags, and they were of low quality. With Wofoo’s channels, she couldn’t get high-quality blood.

The blood inside… wasn’t fresh, it could only be said to be a last resort to alleviate the symptoms of bloodlust.

But because Wofoo had always lived like this…

She almost never thought that vampires could also relieve each other’s bloodlust.

That’s why, when Adele stared at her intently, her eyes filled with crimson lust and desire…

Wofoo froze.

Then, her face was filled with shyness and surprise.

At this moment, both Wofoo and Adele knew what the other was thinking.

And they knew that they were thinking about the same thing.

Therefore, without any further words, Adele licked her slightly dry lower lip, making it look even more alluring, and asked timidly,

“…Is it okay?”

Wofoo’s pupils trembled.

But she wouldn’t refuse, and she hadn’t even thought about refusing.

It was just that nodding and agreeing required a bit of courage to overcome her shyness.

Since Wofoo didn’t have the courage, then Adele had to give it to her.

“How about this… as an exchange, okay?”

“Exchange…?” Wofoo asked, confused.

Adele nodded.

“Yes, an exchange.”

“All the Blood Essence we find belongs to Wofoo…”

“…And Wofoo will help me through this bloodlust… okay?”

Wofoo wanted to say that her blood wasn’t worth that much, but seeing Adele becoming increasingly uncomfortable, even coughing forcefully…

“Cough, cough!”

“Okay! Okay, I agree, I agree, Adele!”

“Then… do as you wish.”

“I-I’ve never been…”

“But don’t worry about my body or feelings.”

“Besides a healthy and strong physique, I have nothing else to offer.”

“So Adele, feel free to… use my body.”

“I can handle it…”

With Wofoo’s words as a contract…

The deal was done.

However, unbeknownst to Wofoo…

A sly smile appeared on Adele’s lips.

Heeheehee~

She was a vampire genius, controlling the flow of blood, pretending to be bloodthirsty, what was so difficult about that~?

And before entering the Secret Realm, most vampires would drink blood in advance to prevent bloodlust from occurring inside.

Both Adele and Wofoo were no exception.

The only difference was that Wofoo could only drink low-quality blood bags, while Adele could enjoy the blood of the most noble Sequence Ones.

Besides, whose bloodlust would make them cough!? It wasn’t a cold or flu.

If Wofoo couldn’t even see through this…

It could only be said that she was too inexperienced.

It was like a poor person imagining the life of an emperor, thinking that he must eat white bread every day and use a golden hoe to farm.

If Hermione or Celeste saw this, they would have seen through Adele’s disguise long ago.

But whether they saw through it or not, they would still offer their blood selflessly.

Adele’s purpose in this act was simple.

Let Wofoo enjoy the enhancement of Blood Essence.

And – let herself enjoy Wofoo!

Ehehe~!

Chapter 253: A Gentle Trap

“Th-then I’ll touch,” Adele said, a blush warming her cheeks, her pink eyes sparkling. Wofoo’s words were music to her ears; she wasn’t one to refuse such a tempting offer.

Wofoo simply nodded, a soft “Mmm” escaping her lips, and averted her gaze, pretending to study the lush greenery around them. But her vision was blurred, her mind focused solely on the anticipation of Adele’s touch.

Adele licked her lips, a sweetness she couldn’t explain blooming on her tongue. Then, unable to resist, she reached out, her fingers tracing the line where Wofoo’s hand had lifted her hoodie, taking over the gesture, revealing the smooth, flawless expanse of Wofoo’s abdomen, the faint lines of her abs like shadows in the soft light. And at the center, the delicate indentation of her navel, a spot described in ancient texts as the “point of passion.” It was a fitting description, Adele thought, her gaze lingering on its alluring shape. Unable to resist, she reached out, her fingertip tracing its delicate curves, a slow, teasing caress that made Wofoo’s skin flush a delicate pink.

“Ugh…!” Wofoo gasped, a soft, involuntary sound that made Adele’s cheeks burn. It was an unexpected reaction, a sensitivity Adele hadn’t anticipated. But under Adele’s touch, Wofoo felt an almost unbearable tingling sensation, a pleasurable ache that left her wanting more.

Wofoo’s mind raced, her thoughts a jumble of conflicting desires. She longed for Adele’s touch, for the feeling of being cherished and desired, but a part of her, the part that had been conditioned to submit, to obey, felt a surge of shame. How could she have such thoughts about Adele, her only friend?

Adele, oblivious to Wofoo’s internal struggle, continued her exploration, her fingers tracing the lines of Wofoo’s abs, then moving lower, towards the waistband of her pants. It was a gesture that made Wofoo’s breath hitch, her body tensing in anticipation. Should she stop Adele? And if Adele continued, should she resist? This was… her first time.

But Adele, sensing Wofoo’s hesitation, stopped, her fingers lingering just below the waistband. “S-sorry,” she stammered, her own cheeks flushing with a mix of embarrassment and… something else.

“It’s okay,” Wofoo replied, her voice barely a whisper.

Adele, seeing the nervousness in Wofoo’s eyes, felt a pang of regret. She had gone too far, her own desires overriding Wofoo’s comfort. She stood up, her legs slightly unsteady.

“I-I’m done,” she said, referring to her exploration of Wofoo’s abdomen.

Wofoo, not one for small talk, but wanting to ease the awkward silence, asked, “How… did it feel?”

“Ah? Well, um, it felt… nice!” Adele replied, her cheeks burning. Why are you asking me that!? she thought, mortified.

“Really?” Wofoo seemed relieved. “Good thing I work out.”

What’s with the “working out,” Adele thought, but Wofoo was simply stating a fact.

To avoid further awkwardness, Adele quickly changed the subject. “Let’s not talk about that. Wofoo, I’m so glad I found you. I was feeling a little… uneasy being alone in here.”

“And, Wofoo, have you… found anything during your time in the Secret Realm?”

“Found anything…?” A glint of something cold and sharp flickered in Wofoo’s eyes.

She hesitated, wondering if she should tell Adele about the vampire she had eliminated.

But Adele had also done the same.

And the Secret Realm was a life-or-death competition, many people had chosen to form teams.

And the prerequisite for teaming up was to be open and honest with each other.

After thinking about it, Wofoo decided to tell Adele everything she had seen and done, without reservation.

Her initial plan was to be a lone wolf hunting vampires in the Secret Realm, without any emotions.

But meeting Adele had made this plan fall apart.

It seemed that the lone wolf… had someone she cared about, and she couldn’t even maintain her ferocious demeanor anymore.

Now, what Wofoo looked forward to more was teaming up with Adele and protecting each other.

“The girl who gave you that scar!?” Adele’s brow furrowed with concern as she looked at Wofoo’s face, at the band-aid covering the wound on her left cheek.

“…Yes,” Wofoo nodded.

“Dealing with someone like that with just one claw strike is too gentle!” Adele exclaimed, her eyes flashing with anger. “We have to fight fire with fire! Make them pay back a thousand times!”

“…”

Wofoo had initially been worried that telling Adele about what had happened and the assassination attempt would scare her, that Adele would distance herself from Wofoo.

But as it turned out, Adele was filled with righteous indignation, and her solution was even more radical than Wofoo, the victim.

Moreover, Adele also didn’t hide anything from Wofoo, recounting her own victory against another vampire, embellishing the details for dramatic effect.

Wofoo, who had been secretly observing Adele and witnessed the whole thing, couldn’t help but find it amusing and endearing as she listened to Adele bragging about how she had fought a great battle with the vampire and turned the tables.

It was the truth.

It was just that the process… well, it was impossible for there not to be some embellishment.

But Wofoo played along, expressing her amazement and admiration for Adele’s victory.

“Adele, you’re so amazing.”

Adele touched her hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Hehe, I’m not that amazing.”

Adele’s gaze kept drifting towards the top of Wofoo’s head.

Wofoo’s ears felt hot.

After a while, she asked cautiously,

“Adele… do you want to touch my ears?”

“Eh, can I? Ah, no, why are you suddenly asking me to do that~?”

“Wofoo, you’re such a coquettish girl.”

“Oh well, I can’t refuse such a request!”

“But I’m telling you, I’m only doing this for Wofoo!”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t touch other girls’ ears, who would do such a thing?”

“Hehe, wolf ears~”

“…”

Wasn’t she trying to hide it at first, but the more she spoke, the more she revealed her true nature?

But Wofoo just chuckled inwardly, not expressing any dissatisfaction with Adele’s contradictory cuteness.

Adele finally got to touch the wolf ears as she wished.

It seemed that Wofoo had taken good care of them. It was said that wolf fur was coarse, but Wofoo’s ears were fluffy and soft.

Perhaps not as soft as a cat’s fine fur, but they had their own unique charm.

As Adele petted them, she couldn’t help but think of First Snow, who was still at the academy.

Sigh, I should finish this Blood Trial quickly and return to where I belong, meow.

Adele said this because she didn’t really feel a sense of belonging in Twilight City, the vampire capital.

It wasn’t even as good as any prosperous human city, after all, those cities were full of life and activity.

She was a girl who grew up in a human city.

Both before and after transmigrating.

“I’ve decided!”

“Hmm?”

Wofoo looked at Adele in confusion. She had been enjoying Adele’s caress of her sensitive ears with her eyes closed, sometimes, when Adele touched a particularly sensitive spot, she would tremble all over, but she held it back.

Because she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Adele.

As for what Adele was thinking during this time, it wasn’t her focus.

But she still politely responded to the girl’s sudden words and asked,

“Decided… what?”

Adele clenched her small fists with a determined look.

“I’ve decided on our next course of action!”

“Let’s eliminate all the vampires who bullied Wofoo… let’s turn this Secret Realm upside down!”

“A-Adele!?”

“You shouldn’t do this for me…”

Wofoo couldn’t continue, her voice choked with emotion.

Her eyes trembled, sparkling with disbelief and gratitude.

Being looked at like this, even Adele felt a little embarrassed.

Actually, it wasn’t that Adele was so indignant for Wofoo’s sake.

It was more that Adele’s recent victory against that vampire had given her confidence, making her eager to test the limits of her strength.

Just like the True Ancestors said, this was a trial.

No matter how pampered Adele was in the past, no matter how carefree her life…

Now that she was alone in this Secret Realm, she should learn to rely on her own strength, learn to join this hunt.

Adele thought, now she had become a hunter.

Then what about Wofoo?

What was her role by Adele’s side? A fellow hunter, or…

A smile appeared on Adele’s lips, she suddenly thought of something interesting.

Actually, dogs, these cute and loyal creatures, didn’t exist in the beginning, right?

At that time, they were still called… wolves, by the hunters’ sides.

The process of domesticating wolves into dogs…

Must be very interesting.

A strange smile appeared on Adele’s lips, its meaning unclear.

But in Wofoo’s eyes, it was only filled with touching care and tenderness.

“It’s worth it, Wofoo.”

“Anything for you, is worth it.”

This wasn’t a gentle trap.

Adele really meant it.

It was just that the degree of sincerity was different.

And her purpose wasn’t as simple as Wofoo thought.

But for Wofoo, who had always lacked warmth and companionship…

Not to mention it wasn’t a trap…

Even if it was, she would jump in without hesitation.
