Chapter 222: A Visit to the Principal

A wonderful night passed in a flash. Adele felt quite good about the whole experience. She was used to sleeping with girls – she didn’t even know when she had developed this habit.

But it was different for Tang Linlang, she had always lived alone.

So sleeping with a girl for the first time, sharing a bed with the person she liked…

She felt nervous, and also a little uncomfortable.

Adele’s breathing beside her was distracting, and her embrace made it difficult for Tang Linlang to change positions.

So she could only maintain one posture, not even daring to breathe too loudly, afraid of waking Adele.

In this aspect, Adele was her complete opposite.

Not only did she fall asleep quickly, but she also occasionally let out cute little snores, her sleeping posture changing constantly, and she would unconsciously touch Tang Linlang…

Tang Linlang’s developing breasts suffered under Adele’s “attacks.”

She could only cover her mouth with her free hand to prevent herself from making any strange sounds.

If Adele wasn’t really asleep, Tang Linlang would have thought Adele was teasing her again.

Anyway, after tossing and turning for a while, Tang Linlang finally drifted off to sleep.

But her sleep was light.

Any slight movement from Adele would wake Tang Linlang up, like a mother checking on her child in the middle of the night. She would gaze at Adele tenderly, only feeling relieved after confirming that Adele was fine.

Then the cycle would repeat, falling asleep from exhaustion, being woken up, then feeling sleepy again…

By morning, Tang Linlang felt like she hadn’t slept at all.

Adele, on the other hand, stretched comfortably, yawned so hard that tears welled up in her eyes, then rubbed her eyes and greeted Tang Linlang energetically,

“Good morning, Linlang~”

“G-good morning, Adele.”

Tang Linlang’s smile was a little strained.

After all, it was their first time living together, it was normal to have some minor issues.

Tang Linlang could only hope that they would live together more often in the future.

And gradually get used to sharing a bed with Adele.

However… Tang Linlang still hoped that before that, Adele could fix her habit of sleeping in all sorts of strange positions.

There was a time when Tang Linlang woke up in the middle of the night and saw a small, milky white foot glowing faintly under the moonlight, right in front of her face.

Just how bad was Adele’s sleeping posture that she could turn 180 degrees in her sleep!?

But Tang Linlang wasn’t in a position to criticize this.

After all, the one who was holding Adele and sleeping soundly… wasn’t her…

During breakfast, Adele even mentioned this as a funny story to Tang Linlang.

“I had such a strange dream last night, I dreamt that I became a chicken, and then… someone gnawed on my chicken feet!”

“Cough, cough!”

Tang Linlang, who was drinking milk, choked and blushed.

“What a… strange dream.”

After wiping her mouth with a napkin, she replied, trying to appear calm.

“Right?”

Adele didn’t suspect anything and agreed deeply.

Then she continued her cheerful rambling,

“I didn’t expect that after eating so much chicken, there would be a day when my chicken feet would be eaten.”

“But you know, braised chicken feet are really delicious, I haven’t had them in a long time.”

“I have to buy some to try today, I wonder if First Snow would eat them, she can’t handle spicy food very well…”

Tang Linlang didn’t know that Adele was so lively in private.

But after knowing this, she could only say that Adele was even cuter than she had imagined.

Generally speaking, only when completely relaxed would a person reveal their true self.

So that meant that Adele felt relaxed and comfortable around her.

This thought made Tang Linlang feel content.

Time flew by in the leisurely morning.

It was time for Adele to leave.

“Thank you for your hospitality last night,” Adele said meaningfully.

The girl’s words made Tang Linlang blush.

“S-so annoying…”

She tried to act coquettishly. As a well-behaved girl, it was a novel and nerve-wracking experience for her to act like this for the first time.

Fortunately, Adele’s reaction was normal, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with Tang Linlang.

The black-haired, pink-eyed girl changed her shoes at the entrance, then turned around, her playful smile replaced by a serious expression, and suddenly said to Tang Linlang,

“Linlang, please bear with it for a little while longer.”

“I’ll talk to the principal about the Gu Realm. I think, maybe the principal will have a way to solve the problems we can’t.”

“Even if the principal can’t do anything… I won’t give up.”

If even the principal didn’t know what the Gu Realm was, the only one Adele could turn to was the angel Seraph.

But Seraph was a very detached angel, she would only tell Adele what she wanted to tell her.

Like the “Lord” Adele was always curious about, what happened in the past, and what the mythical era was all about.

Even if Adele “supermarket swept” Seraph on the bed… she would still remain silent and wouldn’t answer these questions.

So Adele could only pray that the Gu Realm wasn’t some kind of big secret, it was just an ordinary thing from another world, and it would be great if Seraph could easily “remove” it.

If even an angel couldn’t be relied on, then Adele might ask Lady Chen Xi, her “godmother” whom she hadn’t met yet, through Edith.

“Anyway, Linlang, I will save you!”

Hearing Adele’s sincere words, Tang Linlang’s tears couldn’t help but roll down.

“D-don’t cry, silly girl.”

Adele quickly comforted her, hugged Tang Linlang, and kissed away her tears.

She heard Tang Linlang murmur incoherently,

“I… I’m just… very touched.”

“And, falling in love with Adele… is the luckiest and happiest thing in my life…”

“Adele, I love you.”

Adele hugged Tang Linlang’s head, which was buried in her shoulder, gently stroked her hair, and replied with a smile,

“I love you too, Linlang.”

………………

Tang Linlang even walked Adele to her dormitory building. This was a bit too considerate, or rather, she was too attached to being with Adele.

“Goodbye, Adele.”

“Goodbye, my Linlang.”

They hugged briefly, and then they parted ways.

It was just an ordinary farewell in their daily life, why was it so sentimental?

Adele felt a little helpless.

She turned around and went back to her dormitory. First, she called out,

“First Snow?”

Adele was wondering if First Snow was still in her house.

If so, she might have gone through the following process.

First, after the dinner party ended, she returned to Adele’s dormitory and waited for her to come back.

Unfortunately, the kitten didn’t wait for Adele, and finally, when curfew time arrived, she had to go back to Principal Winona’s house.

And then today, she came again!

If this was the case, Adele would feel quite guilty towards First Snow.

However, after calling out twice, she found that there was no kitten meowing back cutely as usual.

So she assumed that First Snow hadn’t come to her dormitory today.

Thinking of this, Adele felt less guilty and let out a sigh of relief.

She had also wronged First Snow.

She had promised to stay home and accompany First Snow, but she was intercepted by Tang Linlang halfway.

This was really painful for a kitten.

Actually, when Adele walked up the familiar stairs to her room on the second floor…

She realized that she had made a big mistake.

Because the moment she opened the door, her gaze was drawn to the small creature with snow-white fur and golden wings on her bed.

But there was a hint of resentment and grievance in the little guy’s eyes, as she wagged her tail, looking very unhappy.

First Snow had clearly heard Adele’s call.

But she deliberately didn’t respond!

The kitten was throwing a tantrum at Adele, which was rare.

Adele didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She coughed awkwardly and quickly sat down next to First Snow, reaching out to gently stroke the fur on her back.

She had to stroke it in the right direction, otherwise, it would add fuel to the fire and make First Snow even more irritated.

Usually, First Snow was very tolerant of Adele, even if she rubbed her belly or brushed her fur in the wrong direction, First Snow wouldn’t get angry.

But now it might be different.

After all, what the little guy needed was gentle stroking and comfort.

At first, the kitten still ignored Adele.

But as the girl’s skilled cat-petting technique took effect, First Snow couldn’t help but stretch and let out a comfortable purr.

When she realized she wanted to cover her mouth, it was already too late.

With her anger dissipating, First Snow couldn’t continue to be angry at Adele.

So she simply stood up, arched her back, and stretched, her entire body on tiptoes.

Adele suspected that First Snow had been lying on her bed for too long and needed to stretch.

Finally, after finishing her stretching, First Snow even jumped off the bed, found her favorite scratching post, and started scratching it with her claws.

After this series of actions, First Snow’s mood finally improved, and then she was willing to forgive Adele, jumping into her arms, finding a comfortable position, and going back to sleep.

Adele couldn’t help but chuckle.

She was actually going back to sleep?

Although Adele knew that cats were lazy creatures, after all First Snow’s actions, she thought she was going to do something.

But in the end, she just moved to a different spot to sleep.

But it didn’t matter, Adele indulged her.

Adele hugged the cute kitten and went to her computer desk, sitting down.

Unexpectedly, the moment she turned on the computer, First Snow in her arms opened her eyes.

This made Adele want to ask,

Was it her or the computer that was more attractive to First Snow?

But Adele wasn’t turning on her computer to play games.

Under First Snow’s surprised gaze, Adele clicked on her contact list, found Principal Winona’s email address, and started writing an email.

Because Principal Winona was old-fashioned and had a Western style, she would reply to emails very quickly.

On the other hand, if Adele sent her a message on a chat app, it might be ignored and completely unseen.

This time, Adele actually used honorifics, asking if Principal Winona was free, she had something important to discuss.

Seeing this, First Snow thought it was better to transform into a cat girl, so she transformed in Adele’s arms.

“Is Adele going to see Xiao Wei, meow?”

First Snow asked curiously.

Now, she wasn’t going to ask Adele why she left her alone for a whole night and where she had been yesterday, meow.

She was more concerned about why Adele suddenly wanted to see Xiao Wei.

Was it because of the final exams?

If it was because of that… she could also help, meow.

She could sneak into the place where Xiao Wei and the teachers were grading papers and steal Adele’s exam paper…

Ahem, it was “taking,” not “stealing,” a cat’s action couldn’t be called stealing, meow, it was “taking” the paper!

“Yes, I want to ask the principal something important.”

“Can First Snow listen too, meow?”

“Uh… I think so.”

Adele thought that although First Snow was carefree and didn’t like learning magic…

She was still a long-lived species who had lived in this world for hundreds of years, and she had lived with Principal Winona in the magic world for a long time.

It could be said that she had experienced everything Winona had experienced, as for whether she had paid attention to it, Adele wasn’t sure.

But it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

So she licked her slightly dry lips and asked,

“First Snow, have you heard of the ‘Gu Realm’?”

Adele looked at First Snow expectantly, wanting to see her reaction.

“Gu Zi Yu? Is it delicious, meow? A fish that eats grain, how rare, meow.”

“…”

Adele regretted it, as expected, she shouldn’t have any expectations for this gluttonous kitten.

But she didn’t ignore First Snow, instead, she explained,

“It’s Gu Realm. ‘Gu’ is a human term. Legend has it that it’s made by putting countless poisonous insects together and letting them fight each other. The last surviving insect is the Gu, a terrifying mysterious creature.”

“‘Realm’ refers to a region, the region where Gu worms live.”

After hearing Adele’s explanation, First Snow’s shoulders trembled, and her cute little face turned pale.

“So… so scary, meow…!”

“Yes, it’s scary, so we have to get rid of it.”

Adele gently held First Snow’s shoulders.

It was also at this moment that Principal Winona replied to her email.

Winona: What is it? If you’re talking about free time, I just finished dealing with the final exam affairs, so I’m not too busy.

Adele: Then I’ll come to you now, Principal! With First Snow!

Winona: …Fine, I’m in my home office. You didn’t bully First Snow, did you? She was quite depressed when she came back last night, and she went out to find you early this morning.

Adele: Ahem, how could I bully First Snow? I can’t wait to pamper her!

Although she said that, there were times when Adele couldn’t help herself, so it couldn’t be helped.

Adele: Then I’ll be right there, Principal, wait for me!

After sending the email, Adele closed her computer, not even bothering to read Winona’s reply, and prepared to leave.

Adele was practically running around for Tang Linlang’s sake.

She was so busy that she even forgot to change into her home clothes after returning home.

But this was also good, she could go directly to the principal without changing, saving her some trouble.

“First Snow, let’s go, let’s go see the principal together.”

Adele called out to First Snow, who was in her cat girl form.

“Meow!”

First Snow followed, and Adele naturally took the girl’s hand.

But she only realized halfway…

She and First Snow like this… it was like accompanying her girlfriend to meet her parents!

Chapter 221: Sharing a Bed, You Don’t Mind, Right?

Tang Linlang emerged from the bathroom, her hair still damp with steam. She was wrapped in a towel and saw Adele in the living room, also in a towel, already engrossed in a video game. Looking at Adele’s focused and beautiful expression, Tang Linlang couldn’t help but smile.

Adele had noticed Tang Linlang, but seeing her smile reminded her of what had just happened between them, and her own disheveled appearance… so she deliberately acted like a spoiled child, ignoring Tang Linlang and focusing on the large TV screen, trying to defeat the boss on her own.

But she failed in the end.

After all, it was a two-player game.

Just as Tang Linlang sat down beside her, Adele blinked and tossed the other controller to her.

“Play with me.”

She said softly, as if certain that Tang Linlang wouldn’t refuse.

And Tang Linlang really wouldn’t refuse.

Who would refuse their soul’s master?

Although this might sound strange, Tang Linlang thought it was romantic to sell her soul to love, which was why she thought this way.

“I’m not very good at this,” she said, “Don’t mind if I hold you back…”

Adele snorted and said tsundere-ly,

“You think I’m any good at this?”

“You think too highly of me!”

Somehow, Adele could say things like “I’m also bad at this” with a straight face.

It made Tang Linlang chuckle.

But she actually understood that Adele was comforting her.

Just as Tang Linlang was also hinting at something.

If Tang Linlang removed the Gu Realm from her body, it meant that her power would fall to its lowest point, and she wouldn’t have any special abilities.

After all, the Gu Realm only provided a portion of the enhancement, what was more important were the various effects of the strange and diverse Gu worms living within the Gu Realm.

There were Gu worms that could break magic, Gu worms that craved blood, Gu worms that could induce dreams, Gu worms that could silently control people’s minds… and even Gu worms that could make people fall in love with her.

If Tang Linlang was a lovelorn loser, perhaps the last kind of Gu worm would be of great significance to her.

But if she really used it, it meant that this love would become completely fake.

Also, fortunately, reality and fate favored her.

The person she liked…

Happened to like her too.

So her previous desire to become stronger became less important.

Tang Linlang, while using the controller to manipulate the game character on the TV screen, supporting the unskilled and reckless Adele, thought that maybe she could ask her father and try to find the method her ancestors used to remove and seal the Gu Realm.

That way, Adele wouldn’t have to worry about her all the time.

“Heal, heal!”

“Oh, oh.”

“There’s a monster attacking you next to you, focus, Linlang!”

“I-I will!”

Hearing this, Tang Linlang immediately sat up straight. Her towel loosened a little, revealing the white skin of her side, but she didn’t seem to care.

This made Adele hold her breath, her nose feeling a little warm as if she was about to have a nosebleed.

The girl thought to herself,

There’s no need to be so serious…

It made her almost unable to concentrate.

If they did it again, she would have to take a shower, which was troublesome…

Then why not let Tang Linlang clean her up?

Ahem, what was she thinking!?

Focus on the game, focus on the game!

Adele tried her best to keep her eyes away from Tang Linlang’s body and focused on the TV screen.

They were playing a roguelike game on the computer, but playing it on the large TV screen had a better effect.

The game was about entering small levels one after another, then reaching the boss level. In this process, they would constantly obtain treasure chests, get equipment upgrades, strengthen their attributes, and then, after defeating a few mini-bosses, arrive at the boss room. Defeating the big boss meant victory.

This was a characteristic of most roguelike games, and Adele personally loved playing this type of game.

Because each game would have a different map and a new boss, it was suitable for replaying.

But for Adele and Tang Linlang today, playing this one round was enough to relax.

Playing any further would probably become a burden.

They failed the boss level once at first, but after summarizing their experience and starting a new game, they decisively won!

Adele cheered, holding her controller.

Tang Linlang smiled at her, her eyes full of affection.

But she probably also understood that after this game was over, it would be time to part ways.

Tang Linlang wanted to be a sensible girlfriend, not competing for attention or burdening Adele.

So she hesitated for a moment and decided to take the initiative to bring it up.

“It’s getting late, Adele, shouldn’t you…”

She paused, unable to say the rest of her sentence.

Because Adele suddenly moved closer, and Tang Linlang’s entire field of vision was filled with Adele.

Especially the girl’s pitiful and charming expression.

It made one’s heart soften.

“You find me annoying, don’t you?”

“You don’t like playing games with me, do you!?”

“N-no!”

“Wuwuwu, you’re abandoning me after I just gave you my first time…”

“I understand, I’m the kind of woman you easily get tired of…”

Adele suddenly started feeling sorry for herself.

This made Tang Linlang panic and become flustered.

“H-how could that be, Adele, I… you… I… to you…!”

Fortunately, Adele stopped playing and laughed.

Tang Linlang then realized that she had been teased by the playful Adele.

But even so, her first reaction wasn’t anger or embarrassment, but relief.

Relief that Adele hadn’t really misunderstood.

Relief that Adele knew her feelings.

But the girl still felt a little wronged.

Just a little. Tang Linlang remained silent for a moment, treating this as a silent protest against Adele, and then she became close to Adele again.

This “silent protest” ended before Adele even realized it had begun.

“Don’t… don’t do that again next time, I’m scared,” Tang Linlang pleaded with Adele.

Noticing that the panic in the girl’s eyes hadn’t completely disappeared, Adele rested her cheek on Tang Linlang’s shoulder and comforted her,

“Okay, I understand.”

“It’s just that Linlang is too serious, so I wanted to lighten up the mood a little.”

“Ahem, I won’t do it again.”

“But haven’t you really thought about asking me to stay? Why did you give me the hint to leave?”

“I thought… Adele would rather go back to the dormitory and be with the principal’s cat, or do other things.”

“Don’t think that way anymore.”

“I just want to be with you.”

The most beautiful love words often struck the heart in the simplest way.

Tang Linlang’s heart pounded.

She was so touched that she didn’t know what to say.

On the other hand, Adele followed up with a double attack.

“I’m staying here tonight, using your pillow and blanket, you don’t mind, right?”

It meant sleeping together.

Pink steam almost rose from Tang Linlang’s head, she felt like she was floating in the sky, being completely swept away by Adele.

After a long time, she finally suppressed her excitement and replied,

“…Okay.”

Chapter 220: Giving Linlang a Surprise

Tang Linlang unlocked the door with her fingerprint. With a click, the door to her apartment swung open, revealing her residence to Adele.

Adele noticed two pairs of slippers at the entrance that looked like couple’s slippers.

Instantly, Adele’s heart skipped a beat, and her face paled.

What… what was going on?

Was there another girl besides herself who was close to Tang Linlang!?

Fortunately, Tang Linlang noticed Adele’s change in mood in time and prevented the misunderstanding from deepening.

She quickly explained, blushing,

“I… I was thinking that one day Adele might come to my house.”

“So I prepared these slippers in advance, they’re… they’re not couple’s slippers or anything!”

Her attempt to cover up her true intentions was a bit too obvious.

But Adele also liked the tsundere Tang Linlang.

After thinking for a moment, Adele realized that Tang Linlang’s daily life, besides studying, was almost entirely occupied by Adele, how could she have the time to get to know other girls?

Moreover, the size of the slippers fit Adele perfectly, which she immediately noticed as soon as she put them on.

Then she realized – when did Tang Linlang secretly measure her foot size?

She had actually prepared slippers that fit Adele so long ago, waiting for the day Adele would come to her house for a date.

It seemed a bit creepy…

But it was the kind of creepy that made her heart race. In short, it was like when a girl acted coquettishly and said, “You’re so annoying~”

Adele felt happy that Tang Linlang would do such a thing.

But this happiness only lasted for a short while in Adele’s heart.

She hadn’t forgotten the real purpose of coming back to Tang Linlang’s house this time.

It was to find out what First Snow had sensed in Tang Linlang’s body.

And more importantly, why Tang Linlang wouldn’t tell her even when she was feeling unwell.

She didn’t need this kind of foolish self-sacrifice from Tang Linlang.

What she needed was a Tang Linlang who would cry when she was hurt, who would seek comfort when she was sad.

She wanted Tang Linlang to know that she didn’t have to be so strong in front of Adele, it was okay to be vulnerable.

Therefore, when Tang Linlang closed the door to her apartment and came to the living room with Adele, Adele seized the opportunity and pushed Tang Linlang down on the soft sofa.

Adele knelt on Tang Linlang’s waist, a posture that seemed oppressive but wasn’t actually, and looked at her surprised, watery eyes with concern.

“A-Adele…?”

The girl was a little nervous and confused, but more than that, she was surprised by the intimacy of their current position.

However, this surprise also made the Gu worms in the Gu Realm even more active, causing Tang Linlang even more pain.

In a sense, the Gu Realm also devoured the desires in one’s heart to gain more energy.

And in the process of obtaining this energy, the various otherworldly Gu worms that were originally dormant would become active.

Tang Linlang could feel the Gu Realm constantly strengthening itself in this way, and at the same time, it gave her even more power, allowing her to control those active Gu worms with her will.

If Tang Linlang wanted, she could, like last time when she used the Devouring Gu for Adele, use the Gu Realm in her body as a “wormhole” to communicate with the other world, summon the Gu worms, and command them to perform a series of tasks.

Adele sensed Tang Linlang’s discomfort and loosened her grip slightly, placing comforting kisses on her cheeks and forehead.

“Linlang… what happened?”

“In your body…”

“If it’s for me, I don’t want you to hurt yourself in this way…!”

Adele wanted to continue, but Tang Linlang, with rare courage, kissed her lips.

Tang Linlang really knew how to seize the opportunity, and at this moment, Adele wouldn’t refuse her no matter what.

So the two of them rolled on the sofa, constantly yearning for each other, tasting and exchanging, their bodies intertwined…

Gradually, Adele’s consciousness became hazy, and a witch’s aura began to emanate from her.

If this continued, she would obviously transform into a witch again and devour Tang Linlang completely.

But at this critical moment, she remembered what she truly cared about, which was Tang Linlang’s safety.

Since that was the case, she wouldn’t be easily fooled by this beauty trap!

Yes, even now, Tang Linlang still hoped that Adele wouldn’t know anything.

She would bear all the pain and sorrow alone.

Adele just needed to continue being that carefree, beautiful, and pure girl.

All the filth, all the pain, she would bear it all for Adele!

Therefore, at this moment, Tang Linlang was undoubtedly in pain, but also happy.

But Adele didn’t need this kind of sacrifice, she wanted to create a world where everyone could be happy.

And happiness didn’t necessarily have to be exchanged for sacrifice.

Call Adele greedy, it didn’t matter.

She just couldn’t stand being taken advantage of, and she couldn’t bear to see the girls she liked being taken advantage of!

Therefore, she gradually regained her consciousness and bit Tang Linlang’s tongue with her teeth.

“Ugh…!” Tang Linlang let go of Adele’s lips in pain.

Adele took this opportunity to sit up on Tang Linlang’s messy body.

In fact, she wasn’t in much better shape herself.

Almost all the buttons on her shirt had been unbuttoned by Tang Linlang in her daze.

The most outrageous thing was that one of them was even ripped off forcefully.

The open shirt revealed the girl’s smooth and flat abdomen and the slightly bulging lower part of her breasts, a beautiful and alluring shape, like a ripe peach.

Adele was naturally wearing a bra, but because of their movements, it was slightly out of place, which actually added a sense of hazy beauty.

She took a few deep breaths, then looked at Adele with a mixture of embarrassment and seductive charm.

“Really… even if we’re going to do it, it shouldn’t be at a time like this.”

“Confess now… or I’ll ‘supermarket sweep’ you!”

“I mean it, Linlang, what happened, tell me!”

Although Adele had a vague guess about Tang Linlang’s current state…

She still hoped that Tang Linlang would tell her everything herself.

Because this was necessary for love and trust.

After a brief moment of daze, Tang Linlang also gradually regained her clarity. Looking at the girl she loved deeply, at the concern in her eyes…

Tang Linlang smiled bitterly.

Finally, she chose to give in.

“…Since this is Adele’s request…”

“I can’t hide it from you anymore.”

Then, she told Adele everything about the Gu Realm, bit by bit.

She also let Adele know that this was the reason why she had become stronger.

She had made a contract with the Gu Realm, an exchange. She provided it with energy, and it gave her power and control over the Gu worms in return.

The Gu Realm sounded like an independent space, but in a sense, it was like a living being.

Hearing this, Adele’s expression gradually became serious.

It wasn’t because she was surprised or scared…

But because – she had actually guessed that it was because of the “Gu Realm”!

After all, this was part of the original story. In the later part of the story, Tang Linlang became a powerful and cool vampire hunter, a mature woman with long black hair.

What she relied on, besides the assassination techniques passed down from her Tang family ancestors, was the Gu Realm.

At that time, using the power of the Gu Realm, she rode a roaring motorcycle through the pouring rain and saved Adele from countless zombies.

That was also a climax of the plot, Tang Linlang, from the weak classmate she used to be, grew into a strong female lead to protect Adele.

But this story also showed that Tang Linlang didn’t come into contact with the Gu Realm during her school days.

It was only after she entered society, as a vampire hunter carrying out one mission after another, that she mastered the Tang family’s assassination techniques and came into contact with the Gu Realm, making a contract with it.

This was also what Adele was worried about.

That was – Tang Linlang had come into contact with the Gu Realm too early.

And the original story didn’t mention the final outcome between Tang Linlang and the Gu Realm.

No ending was, in a sense, a good ending, at least it could provide some psychological comfort.

But now it was different, because Adele had transmigrated, and Tang Linlang had come into contact with the Gu Realm in advance.

This meant that Tang Linlang would definitely experience the final outcome with the Gu Realm in the foreseeable future, and Adele would witness it together with her.

And the time would be much earlier.

This shrouded the entire incident in a layer of mist and made one feel a sense of urgency.

Perhaps Tang Linlang was willing to see this as an exchange, so she didn’t resist it, she was even happy that the Gu Realm could make her stronger, strong enough to protect Adele.

But what if the final outcome wasn’t just a simple exchange?

What if the Gu Realm ended up eroding Tang Linlang’s body?

What if the Gu Realm took over Tang Linlang’s body to achieve its goal of invading this world?

All of this was unknown.

But if it really was such a terrifying and sinister ending…

Then Adele would definitely help Tang Linlang completely eradicate the hidden danger of the Gu Realm before that happened.

Even if the price was that Tang Linlang would never become the cool and handsome black-haired mature woman from the later part of the original story, Adele wouldn’t hesitate.

…Actually, it was a little bit of a pity, just a little bit, boohoo.

But Adele deeply understood what was most important.

Tang Linlang was one of the people she cherished and cared about the most.

Even if she became useless, it wouldn’t change her place in Adele’s heart.

“I’m fine, I’m really fine.”

Seeing Adele’s serious expression, Tang Linlang forced a smile and tried to comfort her.

Adele sniffed but didn’t nod.

Instead, she suddenly pounced on Tang Linlang, who had sat up on the sofa, and hugged her.

Adele’s current posture was basically kneeling on Tang Linlang’s lap, a typical dominant position, but it was also a serving position.

The intimate posture made Tang Linlang’s breathing quicken, and the girl didn’t know what to say, she could only watch as Adele’s face moved closer and closer to hers.

“Trust me, Linlang… I will definitely save you.”

Tang Linlang’s heart tightened, but it was from being moved.

She blinked her stinging eyes and smiled affectionately.

“I trust you, Adele.”

Although she understood that it was because Adele couldn’t do anything about the Gu Realm for now that she made this promise, but the promise itself was heavier than a thousand pounds.

Because Adele always kept her word, she would never disappoint the people she liked.

They looked at each other quietly, and then kissed lightly.

When their lips parted again, a silver thread… lingered between them.

Adele, her breath fragrant, asked again,

“Do you need me to do anything else to make you feel better?”

The girl’s expression was nervous and embarrassed.

She actually knew what would happen next.

But this kind of thing needed Tang Linlang to ask for it herself.

It wasn’t because Adele wanted to appear reserved.

If she wanted to be reserved, she shouldn’t be sitting on Tang Linlang’s lap like this.

What she really wanted to hear was Tang Linlang’s heartfelt love and desire for her.

That was very important to her.

Tang Linlang also understood Adele’s intentions and finally stopped hesitating, shyly and hesitantly uttering the words,

“I want you to love me.”

“Love me well.”

The two closed their eyes and lips in unison, their arms tightly embracing each other.

Everything that followed came naturally.

Although Tang Linlang usually seemed passive and honest, she actually wanted to be the dominant one…

But today… she would let Adele have her way…

Chapter 219: A Sweet Little Home

Soon, the ride Tang Linlang had ordered with trembling hands arrived.

Adele, holding the cat, got into the car first, followed by Tang Linlang.

Through the rearview mirror, the driver saw the snow-white kitten whimpering pitifully in Adele’s arms.

“What’s wrong with the kitten?”

The uncle asked curiously.

Adele couldn’t help but smile wryly, her hand stroking First Snow even more gently.

“Maybe… she’s heartbroken.”

“?”

What kind of answer was that?

But the driver didn’t pursue the matter further, his responsibility was only to take passengers to their destination.

Under Adele’s gentle strokes, the poor little First Snow finally gradually recovered.

But her bright eyes, peeking out from Adele’s arms, still stared at Tang Linlang beside Adele with a hint of displeasure.

Linlang was still immersed in the huge surprise and naturally didn’t notice First Snow’s gaze.

But the girl’s strong emotions made the Gu Realm stir restlessly.

A feeling like being bitten by insects erupted in Tang Linlang’s heart.

If it was just this pain, she could still endure it.

Or rather, the girl had endured pain for a long, long time, constantly fighting against the Gu worms in the Gu Realm. Those that could coexist would coexist, and those that couldn’t, she would defeat them with her strong will…

Because only in this way could Tang Linlang avoid falling and completely conquer the “Gu Realm.”

And Adele knew nothing about this.

This also showed Tang Linlang’s honest and enduring personality, burying everything in her heart and silently enduring.

Otherwise, if she just acted a little pitiful, or rather, not “acted,” just revealed a little of the pain and torment she was currently experiencing to Adele…

Adele wouldn’t be able to ignore her suffering, the girl would only feel distressed for Tang Linlang.

“…”

Tang Linlang bit her lip, still silently enduring.

She even occasionally snuck a glance at Adele, and seeing that Adele hadn’t noticed anything unusual, she felt relieved.

Because in her heart, true love shouldn’t make the other person worry.

But for Adele, the “love” she understood should be mutual, not something to be endured alone, that would only tarnish love.

Always trust the person you love, believe that they would never leave you.

Perhaps no one would have thought that the first one to notice Tang Linlang’s abnormality would be First Snow, the kitten in Adele’s arms, who was paying close attention to her love rival.

At first, she just wanted to stare at Tang Linlang with dissatisfaction.

But gradually, First Snow felt something was wrong.

The girl in front of her seemed to be in pain!

And there was a special power faintly emanating from her body, related to “space.”

Because First Snow was a kitten with great magic talent, she had comprehended short-distance teleportation magic, one of the highest-level spatial magics, without any guidance.

So she would naturally be sensitive to anything related to the “laws of space.”

The “Gu Realm” happened to be such an existence.

Theoretically, it was a “wormhole.” Of course, the “wormhole” here wasn’t the kind described in scientific theories, but it did have some similar properties.

The Tang family discovered the Gu Realm in ancient times and used it to kill countless vampires.

At that time, vampires were rampant and powerful, and the Tang family believed that this was a divine artifact bestowed upon them by heaven to fight against vampires.

Just like how some vampires could make contracts with creatures from other worlds…

There were also strong-willed people in the Tang family who could make contracts with the Gu Realm, using their willpower to resist its erosion and even command the otherworldly Gu worms within it.

Yes, none of the Gu worms existing in the Gu Realm existed in the real world, they had grotesque appearances and different abilities, all from another world.

And the Gu Realm was more like a bridge connecting that other world to the real world, a narrow passage, so calling it a “wormhole” was the perfect metaphor.

No one knew whether these Gu worms wanted to break through the limitations of the Gu Realm and descend into this world.

But the fact that the Tang family could think of a way to contract with it was a desperate struggle against the rampant vampires at that time.

But for some reason, after the crisis passed, Tang Linlang’s ancestors sealed it and forbade their descendants from using the Gu Realm again.

This reminded Tang Linlang of an ancient legend.

It was said that the user of the Gu Realm, while being the master of the Gu worms, would also become the Gu Realm’s nourishment.

And the “Gu Realm” wasn’t just a “wormhole.”

The most shocking speculation was that it was the egg of a powerful creature from another world, it had to parasitize a human body to gain the continuous power needed to hatch.

Just because this egg of an unknown otherworldly creature was too large, there were countless Gu worms parasitizing within it.

Like probiotics in the human body, they had a symbiotic relationship.

And the day it hatched would be the day the host died.

The authenticity of this legend was questionable.

But one thing was certain, the ancestors of the Tang family must have discovered the drawbacks of the Gu Realm, which was why they forbade their descendants from making contracts with it after the crisis passed.

And – “gaining powerful strength out of thin air would definitely come at a great cost.”

This was almost an undeniable truth.

After discovering that Tang Linlang seemed to be unwell, and sensing the existence of that “spatial aura,” First Snow reacted quickly.

The little guy pawed at Adele’s clothes with her soft paws and pink pads, meowing anxiously.

“Meow!”

“Meow!”

At first, Adele didn’t think much of it, thinking that First Snow was just throwing a tantrum again.

And since they were in someone else’s car, Adele just patted First Snow’s head and said softly,

“Don’t be naughty, First Snow.”

First Snow looked at Adele, confused.

She had just discovered something strange and wanted to remind Adele, meow.

The kitten felt wronged, and her tail continued to sway restlessly, as if she wanted to break free from Adele’s arms.

Adele finally realized that First Snow wasn’t the kind of kitten who would cause trouble for no reason.

Her sudden actions must have a reason.

So the girl slightly loosened her grip on First Snow, wanting to see what First Snow would do next.

As expected, First Snow jumped out of Adele’s arms.

Fortunately, she didn’t shed any fur, and the driver didn’t pay much attention, otherwise, letting a cat roam free in the car would usually result in the passenger being asked to leave.

First Snow landed lightly on the soft cushion of the back seat without making a sound, her raised tail helping her maintain balance.

Then she leaped again, gracefully.

And this time, she landed on Tang Linlang’s lap, who had a pained expression on her face.

This sudden action startled Tang Linlang, who was silently enduring the pain caused by the awakening of the Gu Realm.

Then, she met First Snow’s pure and innocent gaze.

“What’s… wrong with her?”

Tang Linlang covered her lower abdomen with one hand, pretending to be indifferent, and turned to ask Adele.

Before Adele could answer, First Snow moved closer to Tang Linlang.

Normally, Adele might say, this is First Snow’s way of showing affection, she didn’t expect that Tang Linlang was so popular with cats.

But now, Adele also clearly sensed something and continued to watch First Snow’s actions intently.

“Meow?”

“Meow…”

First Snow finally stopped in front of Tang Linlang’s covered lower abdomen and meowed twice, seemingly confused and sympathetic.

She could tell that the older sister in front of her was uncomfortable.

If Adele liked her, she should have noticed this earlier!

That’s why First Snow was trying to remind Adele in this way.

Fortunately, she succeeded.

Adele keenly sensed that there might be something wrong with Tang Linlang’s body, which was why First Snow was so nervous.

She quickly asked,

“Linlang, are you feeling unwell?”

“…N-no.”

Tang Linlang clearly panicked, shaking her head with a flustered expression.

Adele became even more anxious because she understood that this was Tang Linlang’s way of not wanting her to worry.

But love should be mutual!

How could one person silently endure the pain while the other remained indifferent?

“Driver, please stop at the city center hospital ahead!”

“No! No need!”

“What do you mean no need? You’re clearly unwell!”

Adele’s anxious tone and expression made Tang Linlang’s heart flutter.

Seeing that the driver was about to turn towards the city center hospital…

And realizing that she could no longer hide it from Adele, nor did she need to, Tang Linlang bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind.

Then, she leaned close to Adele’s ear and whispered, just loud enough for Adele to hear,

“Adele, don’t go to the hospital, just go home!”

“I’m not sick, I just…”

“Anyway, I’ll tell you everything, Adele.”

Since Tang Linlang had said so, Adele also realized that Tang Linlang’s problem probably wasn’t something that could be solved by going to a human hospital.

So she asked the driver to go back to the original route.

She would transfer the extra fare to the driver, giving him a generous reward.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

It was a high-end residential area where Tang Linlang lived alone.

Because her family only consisted of her and her father, and Tang Linlang had grown up, it was no longer appropriate for her to live with her father.

So she proposed to rent an apartment by herself, closer to the academy, so it would be convenient for her to go to and from school.

Tang Linlang’s father also knew that Tang Linlang had always longed for a more modern and intelligent life.

Plus, considering that with her current abilities, she could completely protect herself even when living alone, he finally agreed after much deliberation.

But Tang Linlang’s father probably didn’t expect that another major reason why his daughter wanted to live alone…

Was to have the space and opportunity to be with Adele…

Ahem, it was a bit embarrassing to say, but this only existed in Tang Linlang’s fantasies.

Compared to the other girls, she was indeed a bit less proactive and less thick-skinned.

And because she was so honest, Adele also had to pretend to be a “proper lady” and couldn’t easily reveal her true nature to Tang Linlang.

Until today, they finally had the opportunity to be alone together.

But the current Adele was more concerned about Tang Linlang’s health, so she put her desire for romance aside for a while.

Tang Linlang finally stopped pretending and showed her vulnerable side.

With Adele’s support, they entered the residential area together, walked along the path, entered the building, and took the elevator up.

It was worth mentioning that First Snow had already completed her mission, reminding the oblivious Adele and making her aware of Tang Linlang’s abnormality, then she quietly slipped away and returned to school.

The sensible kitten gave them time to be alone.

As for herself, as long as it wasn’t curfew yet, First Snow would probably choose to stay in Adele’s dormitory and wait for her return.

Adele was very indulgent towards First Snow, even when she wasn’t in the dormitory, she was willing to let First Snow come and go as she pleased, not caring if First Snow might invade her privacy.

This was already treating First Snow as one of her own.

Winona also had to gradually accept this fact.

That was, First Snow’s familiarity with Adele’s dormitory was almost catching up to her familiarity with Winona’s residence, which she had moved into after becoming the principal of Cromwell Academy!

By now, it was hard to tell where First Snow’s real home was.

Or rather, one was her parents’ home, and the other was…

A sweet little home with Adele?

Chapter 218: A Surprise for Linlang

Edith left just as the dinner was coming to an end.

While Adele was feeling smug about gaining a godmother with great prestige in the vampire race, she didn’t realize that the real “crisis” was just beginning.

Calling it a “crisis” might not be entirely accurate, because there was no real danger for Adele, at most, her body might not be able to handle it.

It was the expectant gazes of the girls, which could even be described as “predatory.”

They all focused on Adele’s back.

It made Adele feel a chill down her spine, her expression stiffening.

Since the dinner was over, Adele’s next move became a concern for all the girls.

But no one wanted to be the first to bring it up and become the target of everyone else’s attention. They all wanted to intercept Adele in the middle.

As for Adele, she touched her arm, which had goosebumps, and turned around with a slightly guilty smile,

“…Eat, why aren’t you eating?”

Hermione stared at Adele’s red lips, her tongue unconsciously licking the tip of her fangs, and whispered seductively,

“What I want to eat the most, I can’t have it yet.”

“Eh, hasn’t it been served yet? Then bring it up!”

Adele didn’t know if she really misunderstood or was just playing dumb.

But either way, the girls would indulge her.

Hearing the guest’s request, the waiter came over to confirm the menu and then said,

“Would you like to order anything else? All the dishes you ordered have been served.”

“A-all served…?”

Adele scratched her cheek guiltily.

“Then thank you, we’re almost done eating, um, why don’t I go pay the bill!”

Dorothy snorted softly, the corners of her lips curling up slightly. She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, looking confident.

The waiter also responded to Adele’s words respectfully,

“The bill for your banquet today has already been paid by Her Highness the Princess.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Enjoy your meal~”

Besides Dorothy, who else could be “Her Highness the Princess” here!

But if “Her Highness the Princess” could also refer to a girl who was surrounded by stars…

Perhaps Adele could also count?

However, the current Adele was actually troubled by this “star treatment.”

Her plan to sneak away by paying the bill was completely ruined.

She could only sit back down awkwardly and continue to be the center of attention.

The girls casually picked at the rare delicacies in front of them, but their stomachs were already full.

Except for First Snow, who was still struggling with her fish head, everyone else was about 70-80% full.

Dorothy and Hermione both had excellent upbringing and believed that one shouldn’t eat too much, otherwise, their posture would become unsightly.

Only Tang Linlang and Sharon ate until they were about 90% full.

This was probably because Tang Linlang had grown up in a poor family, she had always lived a life of poverty, being able to eat her fill was already a daily blessing, so she didn’t develop picky eating habits.

As for Sharon, it was because she had been working out recently, her daily energy consumption was relatively high, and today’s meal was a cheat meal after her workout, which could also help her replenish the energy she had consumed.

Adele finally swallowed a small, milky-sweet ball. She didn’t know what it was, maybe some kind of magical plant seed?

Anyway, it was a good dessert.

“I’m done eating, how about you?”

The girl initiated the end of the dinner.

“I’m full too.”

“I’ve been waiting for you, Adele.”

Dorothy and Hermione said almost simultaneously.

Then they both turned to look at each other, their eyes filled with competitive sparks.

“I-I’m done too.”

Sharon said timidly, picking up a napkin to wipe her mouth. Noticing that Adele was staring at her, she lowered her head shyly.

Celeste just looked at her master and nodded.

“Do you have any plans next, Adele?”

Tang Linlang was the polite type, she wasn’t aggressive but gently asked for Adele’s thoughts.

Ugh, if everyone was as considerate as Linlang, she wouldn’t be in such a difficult position.

The biggest problem facing Adele at the moment…

Was that every girl at the banquet wanted to spend the rest of the night with her, but Adele could only satisfy one of them.

She didn’t have the ability to create clones, otherwise, she could just split herself into five or more and perfectly meet everyone’s needs.

But she couldn’t do that, and she couldn’t accept doing that kind of thing with everyone at the same time.

Although Adele was already a Lust Witch who had conquered multiple girls…

She was still quite traditional at heart, if she played it too big at once… she… she would break, meow!

“My plan… I might go back to school.”

Adele’s reply was very conservative.

And it was also a reply that made everyone unhappy.

“It’s Saturday today, don’t you think it’s a waste to go back to school?” Dorothy immediately tried to persuade her to stay.

Hermione also chimed in,

“Yeah, we just finished the final exams, it’s a waste of a good time if we don’t indulge ourselves a little.”

As she spoke, Hermione gave Adele a suggestive look.

As if to say – she was still willing to be the submissive one for Adele.

“Meow!”

But at this moment, First Snow voiced her opposition.

“It’s not a waste at all, meow, it’s very comfortable to stay in the dormitory and play games, meow!”

First Snow’s words made Hermione speechless.

So it wasn’t that everyone was unhappy, at least First Snow was quite satisfied, as a newly-minted gamer cat.

It seemed that Hermione had always ignored First Snow’s existence because this little guy didn’t compete for attention, at most, she would be troubled by fish bones that were difficult to handle.

But in reality, First Snow was also an important member of Adele’s harem.

Celeste also expressed her stance at this time.

“I support… all of Adele’s decisions.”

She wasn’t that greedy, she didn’t want to monopolize every minute with her master.

So naturally, she hoped that her master would always be comfortable, not conflicted like today.

Now, the score was tied at 2-2.

Dorothy and Hermione both thought that Adele should do something more meaningful.

First Snow and Celeste supported Adele’s idea.

And soon, Sharon also expressed her support for Adele, making it 3-2.

Tang Linlang also went from being the one asking the question to the one answering.

“I also support all of Adele’s decisions.”

So the score became a crushing 4-2, plus Adele herself, it was 5-2.

It was truly a one-sided situation.

Adele’s confidence gradually grew.

But she didn’t show it deliberately, instead, she looked at Hermione and Dorothy with pitiful eyes.

Hermione was the first to give in, shaking her head helplessly.

Her expression seemed to say, “I really can’t do anything about you, you have to make it up to me next time.”

Dorothy became the last one.

Eh, why did that sound strange…

But even this “one,” under pressure, had to become “zero.”

After all, everyone was thinking about Adele, they were all willing to follow Adele’s arrangements.

If she went against the majority, how could she compete with them for Adele?

Wouldn’t she become the unreasonable and domineering one in Adele’s eyes?

Well, there was plenty of time, she didn’t need to be in a hurry.

So Dorothy finally sighed and agreed with Adele’s decision.

“Since you all said so, let’s do as Adele wishes.”

“Dorothy!”

Adele gave Dorothy a hug.

It turned out that the last one to vote in favor was more likely to be appreciated, and vice versa.

But in Adele’s heart at this moment, she actually had a new idea, but no one knew about it yet.

Then, Adele said goodbye to the girls one by one.

In the end, only Tang Linlang and First Snow were left.

Linlang was because the place she was currently renting was not far from the school, a place with a great night view, so she could go back with Adele.

As for First Snow, it went without saying, the academy was her home.

“I’ll hail a taxi and then say goodbye to Adele at the school gate.”

Tang Linlang politely suggested.

Adele suddenly looked into her eyes intently.

This made Tang Linlang gasp, her cheeks inevitably flushing red, looking a little flustered and shy.

“…Is there something on my face, Adele?”

“There’s a clueless idiot.”

“Eh…”

“Meow meow meow?” First Snow was also confused.

It was worth mentioning that First Snow was currently in her kitten form.

Because this way, she could comfortably nestle in Adele’s arms without attracting too much attention.

If others saw them, they would at most think that Adele had brought her pet cat out.

Who would have thought that she was a magical cat girl?

Adele ignored the kitten’s confusion for now and said tsundere-ly,

“You hail a taxi, as for whether you’re going to school or somewhere else, I don’t know, and don’t ask me~”

“If a little rascal deliberately takes me to her house, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

After the girl finished speaking, Tang Linlang’s earlobes turned bright red. At the same time, she didn’t know if it was because of the heat or something else, she started fanning herself with her hands, trying to cool down her cheeks.

Adele had already made it so obvious, if Tang Linlang still couldn’t understand her hint…

Then she deserved to be “forever alone”!

“…I-I understand.”

Finally, the girl suppressed her excitement and replied in a flat tone.

“Meow meow meow!”

First Snow finally reacted, it turned out that the clown cat was herself!

She originally thought that she was the final winner today, but Adele had feinted.

Adele wasn’t planning to go back to her dormitory at all!

Wasn’t this bullying an honest cat!

But Adele had actually thought about going back to the academy directly.

Because that way, she could resolve the conflicts between the girls and prevent the harmonious dinner party from ending on a sour note.

But then, Adele suddenly remembered that Tang Linlang never competed for attention, she was always honest and obedient.

As a result, even though she was the closest girl to Adele, her classmate…

Adele had actually given her the least attention and care.

Even until today, she and Tang Linlang… hadn’t even done anything lewd!

You know, even First Snow, with her pure heart, had already done it with Adele in her dormitory!

In comparison, Tang Linlang was the only one at the banquet who didn’t have any experience in that aspect.

It was heartbreaking…

So Adele changed her mind at the last minute and gave Tang Linlang a big surprise.

Only First Snow, as the one in the know, might feel sad for a while.

But it didn’t matter, after Adele got home, she would also spend time with First Snow, whether it was playing games or doing other things, it would all be good, meow.

Chapter 217: Team Adele

The gathering began with Adele’s words, “Let’s not talk about it… let’s order first!”

Based on their food preferences, Sharon, First Snow, Hermione, and Tang Linlang belonged to the sweet tooth faction, while Dorothy, Celeste, and Edith belonged to the spicy faction.

Adele also loved spicy food, but she had no resistance to sweets either.

But she had never dined at this restaurant before, so in the end, the ordering was done by Hermione, Dorothy, and Edith.

Sharon was also a Sequence One, but with her previous reclusive and gloomy personality, she could be asked about delicious takeout, but ordering at a restaurant was probably not her forte.

Since it was a restaurant exclusively for vampires, it was normal for many dishes to be made with magical creatures or plants.

Adele usually had the mentality of “I don’t care if it’s fat or thin, it’s all meat in my mouth” and would devour any dishes she didn’t recognize.

But if she was told about the ingredients of these dishes, she might not be able to eat them, she might even feel nauseous.

Originally, Adele was worried that the dinner party would be awkward, but judging from the current situation, they could still communicate well.

Adele sat at the best seat at the round table, with Hermione on her left and Dorothy on her right, the others evenly distributed around the table.

But in reality, who didn’t want to sit closest to Adele?

Unfortunately, vampires always respected the strong and valued bloodlines, so even if they were jealous and unwilling, they couldn’t change the fact that Dorothy and Hermione had already taken the best seats.

Soon, the cold dishes were served first. This was no different from human banquets.

Perhaps this was one of the ways vampires were becoming more similar to humans. After all, as cooperation between vampires and humans deepened, as long as there weren’t any more incidents like the assassination of Edith’s grandmother, the coexistence of vampires and humans would become an even more unshakable policy.

Thinking of this, Adele suddenly remembered the identities of Edith and Tang Linlang at the table.

Edith, as the descendant of the assassinated True Ancestor, Lady Chen Xi.

And Tang Linlang, happened to be a descendant of the Tang family, one of the vampire families that had joined forces to assassinate Lady Chen Xi.

One whose grandmother was assassinated, leading to her mother’s madness, her own abuse, and the downfall of her family.

The other whose family was almost wiped out, leaving only a father and daughter to rely on each other.

The two of them being together couldn’t be simply described as “enemies on a narrow road,” it could even be said that they had a deep hatred for each other.

Adele’s heart sank. She had made a mistake!

She was too naive, immersed in the fantasy of a harmonious harem.

She completely forgot to consider the differences in their backgrounds.

Perhaps Edith and Tang Linlang both knew each other’s identities, but they deliberately suppressed it for Adele’s sake.

Just thinking about this made Adele’s heart feel like it was being fried in a hot oil pan.

But for now, the atmosphere between the two was still harmonious.

• Meaning they completely ignored each other, as if the other didn’t exist.

This was the best solution for the current situation, and the way to avoid putting Adele in a difficult position between them.

But Adele also understood that this was just them burying their sadness deep in their hearts.

This method wouldn’t bring true reconciliation, it would only postpone the day when the conflict erupted.

Thinking of this, Adele’s mood became a little down.

She really wanted to resolve the conflict between them, but she couldn’t think of a good way for the time being.

More importantly, the other girls who were attending the gathering were equally important.

Therefore, Adele could only choose to bury the conflict deep in her heart, like them, while entertaining everyone as usual and waiting for a possible turning point.

But what Adele didn’t expect was that the turning point came so quickly.

It was such a pleasant surprise that it made her dizzy.

Because just as the gathering was about to end, a major news that shocked the entire vampire race suddenly appeared, and it was spreading like wildfire throughout the world of both vampires and humans.

That was – Edith’s grandmother, Lady Chen Xi, had awakened from her slumber!

Her consciousness had ended its wandering and returned, her body fully recovered under the nourishment of the crystal coffin!

Lady Chen Xi’s recovery was of great significance.

On a larger scale, for both humans and vampires, this was the best opportunity for them to let go of past grudges, eliminate the negative impact of that incident, and deepen their cooperation.

On a smaller scale, Lady Chen Xi’s existence influenced Edith’s status in the vampire race.

After all, only with a strong backing could one gain respect from others.

Otherwise, even with a noble bloodline, before fully maturing, one would only be seen as a “little brat” in the eyes of others.

In the past, because of Lady Chen Xi’s slumber, Edith was already considered a Sequence One without the support of a True Ancestor.

This made it difficult for her to gain recognition for anything she said or did.

Unlike Dorothy, who could command the obedience of everyone with her status as the most noble Vampire Princess.

But even in such a situation, Edith still relied on her own efforts to build the “Black Feather Society” from scratch.

Initially, the vampires who joined the Black Feather Society were all marginalized figures in the academy, they probably didn’t even believe that the Black Feather Society would have a future, it was just that their own situations were already bad enough, so joining an organization to gain some power wasn’t a bad idea.

No one expected that the Black Feather Society would grow to the point where even the student council had to take it seriously and feel pressured.

But even so, Edith’s own foundation wasn’t strong enough, her background wasn’t strong enough, so the Black Feather Society she created could become someone else’s dowry at any time.

Dorothy herself knew this, so she was even arrogant enough to ask Adele…

Asking if she wanted to become the president of the Black Feather Society.

The implication was that as long as she wanted, the Black Feather Society could become hers at any time.

This was indeed true, vampires were a race that respected the strong, and the members of the Black Feather Society would vote with their feet.

It was just that Dorothy was used to being a lone wolf, she didn’t like to form factions, so if she was asked to be the president of the Black Feather Society herself, she would probably find it troublesome.

But if Adele became the president of the Black Feather Society, giving her a position second only to Dorothy, making her a capable assistant to manage other vampires…

It could only be said that fantasy was beautiful, but reality was imperfect.

Adele wasn’t interested in power at all.

She didn’t want to steal Edith’s things, nor did she want to shoulder those heavy responsibilities.

The girl thought it was good enough to live her life freely and easily, being with the girls she liked.

But now, even Dorothy couldn’t be sure if she had the power to change the president of the Black Feather Society overnight.

Because Lady Chen Xi had awakened, as a vampire True Ancestor who had lived from ancient times to the present, her strength was unquestionable.

More importantly, she had a very noble personality.

Lady Chen Xi was undoubtedly one of the most prestigious figures in the current vampire race.

She was also the invisible leader of the vampire doves.

The current vampire doves were already powerful, because their cooperation with humans meant that they had the upper hand over the hawks.

Otherwise, after the assassination incident, the hawks wouldn’t have given up, and vampires and humans would have fallen into a quagmire of war.

Humans had also used their powerful influence to support many doves within the vampire race to rise to power.

Now that Lady Chen Xi had awakened, they had a backbone and an opinion leader again, and their future would only be brighter.

But this was also a good thing, it meant that vampires and humans would cooperate to create a more peaceful world.

The only ones who would be unhappy were probably the vampire hawks. They believed that this was the beginning of the noble vampire race’s downfall, that lowly humans were actually worthy of being on equal footing with them.

But these distant matters weren’t something the current Adele and the girls around her should be concerned about.

The biggest impact Lady Chen Xi’s awakening had on them was that Edith had a backer again.

No one could take away her Black Feather Society anymore.

And the “grudge” between her and Tang Linlang also had a chance to be resolved.

After all, with Lady Chen Xi’s noble personality, she definitely wouldn’t let her descendant, Edith, continue to hate Tang Linlang, who was a descendant of a vampire hunter family.

Moreover, that grudge belonged to the previous generation, it had nothing to do with their generation.

Except for cases where the sins were too great to be forgiven, descendants could understand and forgive each other.

But one thing was for sure, no one had the right to forgive on behalf of their ancestors.

This major event that shook the entire vampire race was first reported to Edith by the elegant vampire owner of the “Blood Charm” restaurant branch, who came to the private room where Adele and the others were having their gathering.

Edith’s expression froze.

Dorothy, Hermione, Sharon, Celeste, and the others all had different expressions. Tang Linlang’s eyes widened, and she felt as if the heavy stone in her heart had suddenly fallen, experiencing an unprecedented sense of relief.

Only First Snow was still struggling with the head of a magic fish, the little kitten didn’t understand what this important news meant at all.

As for Adele, after a brief moment of shock, joy instantly appeared on her face.

She walked past Hermione, went to Edith, who was still dazed and at a loss, and hugged her.

“Things are looking up, Edith!”

Hearing Adele’s words, Edith finally woke up from her daze and murmured excitedly,

“Grandmother… Grandmother has awakened!”

“Can I go visit Grandmother, Mo… Adele?”

Actually, no matter what Edith called Adele now, her authority in Edith’s heart wouldn’t change.

After all, Adele was very good at training girls. Just thinking about those past memories, Edith couldn’t muster even a shred of resistance.

It was worth mentioning that Hermione, who was closest to them, frowned slightly because she heard the syllable Edith uttered before calling Adele.

“Mo,” what did it mean?

It seemed that the relationship between Adele and Edith wasn’t as simple as one of them being tsundere.

There was an unknown story between them.

“Of course you can, go ahead, give my regards to your grandmother~”

As Adele spoke, she secretly pinched Edith’s butt under the table.

It was so soft that her fingers sank in.

Edith’s face instantly turned red, she gasped, her beautiful purple eyes sparkling.

“Y-yes, I will give your regards to Grandmother.”

Edith’s reply was also unexpected.

Because in the eyes of everyone else…

How could Adele call Lady Chen Xi “Grandmother”!

And the key was that Edith actually agreed with Adele’s statement.

Something was wrong, something was really wrong between these two!

Could it be that their relationship had reached the point where they could directly address each other’s relatives!?

Dorothy instantly felt a strong sense of crisis.

She started to consider whether she should take Adele back to the depths of the vampire territory during the winter break and introduce her to a few elders she respected very much.

That was, the three True Ancestors who had always supported the Black Emperor’s family, firmly believing that the Black Emperor would return one day, and had been protecting his descendants throughout the ages.

Currently, there were twelve True Ancestors in the vampire race. Including Lady Chen Xi, who had just awakened, there were seven True Ancestors still active.

And among them, three were loyal to the Black Emperor, and they were Dorothy’s strongest backing.

As for the whereabouts of the other five True Ancestors besides these seven, three were unknown, or rather, two, because the Black Emperor was also among them.

The mainstream view actually believed that the Black Emperor was already dead. Except for the three True Ancestors who were loyal to him, almost all the prominent figures from the same era believed that he was dead.

But no one knew for sure.

As for the whereabouts of the other two True Ancestors, it was very clear. One was in an almost eternal slumber, and no one knew when she would awaken.

The other one was confirmed to be dead, dead beyond death.

But his death was truly a disaster.

Because he had used his own life as a sacrifice to summon an evil god from another world, and in the end, many races joined forces and made huge sacrifices to finally kill the evil god.

This was also why familiar-type vampires were so feared.

Who knew if any of them would go crazy and summon their familiars from another world to this world at all costs?

That’s why Dorothy had become a key target for human surveillance.

Not only because of her status as a descendant of the Black Emperor…

But also because she was a familiar-type vampire, and judging from the little information humans had about her familiar, it was terrifying.

Edith bid farewell to Adele and politely said goodbye to everyone else at the gathering before quickly getting into the car arranged by the female owner of the “Blood Charm” restaurant and rushing towards the depths of the vampire territory.

And Adele was also in a good mood, after all, she had gained a True Ancestor grandmother for free.

Hmph, now she was also someone with a background and power.

Only people like this could survive in this world! Otherwise, they would just be little brats!

In fact, Adele’s background and power were far more than just Lady Chen Xi behind Edith.

It could be said that all the girls who attended today’s banquet would be labeled with a tag that they also deeply recognized from now on.

That was – Team Adele!

And this faction was incredibly powerful, with several high-ranking Sequence Ones, the last heir of the vampire hunter family and the inheritor of the Gu Realm, and a loyal golden retriever puppy.

Celeste: Woof woof woof?

Ahem, actually, Celeste was also very strong. With her hard work and talent, she could be said to be at the top among the current Sequence Two vampire students.

It could only be said that she was born in the vampire race, which valued bloodline and background and had an insurmountable class divide, she couldn’t compare to the other overpowered girls.

But it didn’t matter, she had something truly precious, something that others couldn’t compare to.

That was Adele’s “love.”

Chapter 216: Let’s Order First

“Adele, actually… it’s good for girls to be a bit more reserved,” Dorothy suddenly blurted out after holding back for a while.

Adele blinked and asked curiously,

“Am I not reserved?”

Playing dumb was always a safe bet!

“N-no… well, at least in front of my family, it’s better to be a bit more reserved.”

Dorothy meant that when meeting her family, it was better for Adele to act well-behaved and sensible.

It was too much to ask for “three obediences and four virtues,” but at least Adele shouldn’t act frivolous.

At other times, Dorothy was still very willing to indulge Adele.

After all, in her heart, even though Adele was greedy, promiscuous, flirted with multiple girls, didn’t even let kittens go, and played it big behind the scenes, she was still a pure and good girl!

But what if it were other girls who did these things?

Dorothy: That’s a different story!

This double standard was too blatant…

But Dorothy also had her reasons. Adele had become a witch representing “Lust,” which was why her personality had changed.

The reason she was entangled with so many girls was also because of the influence of the original sin of the witch.

Not letting a witch be lewd was like not letting a vampire suck blood!

In severe cases, it could even be life-threatening.

Also worth mentioning was that Adele had already announced her witch identity in the dinner party group chat using the “@everyone” function. Now, all the girls she acknowledged knew about her witch identity.

Although Adele’s description was vague.

She didn’t describe the specific process of her becoming a witch, she just said it was related to the previous Revenge Witch incident.

Senior Li Lige, she didn’t know where you were now or how you were doing, she really hoped to see you again one day.

But for now, please do me one last favor – take the blame!

And this blame could only be taken by Senior Li Lige, the existence of the angel Seraph couldn’t be known to anyone but Adele.

Including the fact that she was turned into a witch by an angel.

Once it was leaked, although Adele didn’t know what the consequences would be…

But her intuition told her that they would be very serious.

Adele retracted the message shortly after sending it.

But the girls in the group had already seen it. They were always waiting for Adele’s messages 24/7 and had set special notifications, basically, whenever Adele sent a message, the ringtone and vibration would immediately sound on their phones.

Regarding Adele’s witch identity, some of the girls in the group already knew, some learned about it now.

But one thing remained unchanged, they all treated this news with utmost seriousness and kept their mouths shut.

Although they couldn’t speak in the group chat, they still used various methods, sending messages, making phone calls, even telling Adele in person, that they would definitely keep her secret.

Adele felt a deep warmth from the girls’ promises.

She, a witch who was intolerable to both humans and vampires, who would be executed first, was actually being protected by girls who were both human and vampire.

It made one sigh, love could really transcend many things, even everything.

Perhaps “opening a harem” wasn’t Adele’s original intention, but a necessity for her current life.

As a witch related to the original sin of “Lust,” if Adele couldn’t continuously engage in lewd acts, it would be like a vampire holding back from sucking blood. Not to mention becoming stronger with her witch powers, it would be good enough if her body didn’t wither and die.

Therefore, in the girls’ minds, Adele was still that innocent girl.

She only opened a harem because she had to.

She was so pitiful.

Adele: Ah, well, that makes sense, I’m convinced by your words, I suddenly feel super pure and innocent!

Even she didn’t expect that her witch identity could perfectly solve the biggest problem for all harem protagonists throughout history.

—-That was the problem of disharmony within the harem.

Even Dorothy, who was the most possessive of Adele and came from the Black Emperor’s family, which valued reputation and female virtues the most, only hoped that Adele could maintain a chaste and decent image when meeting her family, that was all.

As for how Adele played in private, Dorothy couldn’t control her.

Adele looked at Dorothy deeply and then nodded slightly.

Although it was a small gesture, it made Dorothy feel Adele’s care for her.

A girl was willing to change for her, wasn’t this love?

Hermione heard their conversation, but she didn’t have the intention to intervene.

After all, looking back, from the moment she was willing to be the “bottom” for Adele, she probably didn’t care whether Adele was promiscuous or pure.

All she truly cared about was Adele herself.

A self-sacrificing personality in love?

Maybe a little, but what Hermione couldn’t change was that when she was with Adele, she couldn’t help but want to use every method to pamper the adorable girl in front of her.

Not long after Celeste left, a pure black luxury car arrived.

And the person who appeared was also unexpected.

Edith, the president of the Black Feather Society, had always been at odds with Dorothy and the others, but essentially, it might be jealousy, because she knew that her bloodline wasn’t good enough, and her ancestor’s current situation was uncertain.

She actually appeared here.

Dorothy and Hermione both looked at Adele with strange expressions.

Adele also coughed lightly, seemingly embarrassed.

It felt like being friendly with someone who wasn’t on good terms with them in front of the person you liked.

But that was all, Adele wouldn’t do anything to remedy or explain the situation.

She would say, this is who I am, take it or leave it!

Scumbag but effective.

At least Dorothy and Hermione, after a brief moment of indignation, chose to accept it.

“Edith, long time no see.”

Adele greeted her normally, not showing any particular intimacy.

Perhaps this was because she and Edith didn’t have a particularly close relationship.

The one Edith was truly attached to was the Adele who played the role of her mother.

And the reason Adele invited her was more out of a strange feeling.

It was like a mother going out for a dinner party and leaving her daughter alone at home… it made her feel a little uneasy and worried.

Ugh, damn it, Adele actually got immersed in playing the mother role in their mother-daughter play, but she swore, it was just a little bit.

And Edith, as a “daughter,” was indeed obedient and sensible, she would never tell anyone about Adele being a witch.

Besides, she and her Black Feather Society had also turned over a new leaf, and she had specifically apologized to those girls who had been hurt by the Black Feather Society before.

Of course, it didn’t mean that an apology should be met with forgiveness.

But while a person’s past could be completely denied, their future couldn’t be so crudely categorized.

Edith’s future still had the possibility of redemption.

Actually, Adele didn’t think that much at all.

If she was being cold, she could treat Edith as a useful tool.

If she was being a little gentler, then Edith was a doll she could occasionally use to vent her emotions.

Anyway, that was it.

“Long time no see, I’ve been thinking about you, my…” Before Edith could finish her sentence, Adele covered her mouth with her hand.

The “Master” thing was already troublesome enough.

Now with another “Mother”…

Ahhh, Adele’s feelings could no longer be described as social death, it was just pure embarrassment.

“We can talk about those things later.”

“Now, Edith, I order you to go inside and sit down, wait for me… wait for your mother, okay?”

Adele whispered into Edith’s ear, her lips close to her ear.

Edith’s eyes were filled with deep infatuation and submissiveness, her long purple hair as shiny as silk, her face, no longer covered by a veil, was alluringly beautiful.

She should have been a purple fairy, but now, she was more like a “house elf” who obeyed Adele’s every command.

Edith listened to Adele’s words and walked straight through the gap between Dorothy and Hermione, entering the “Blood Charm” restaurant.

“I didn’t expect you to be friends with her too, was my information wrong…”

Hermione murmured to herself. She had clearly heard that Adele hated Edith, and their previous encounter at the Black Feather Society was very unpleasant.

But in the end… which one of you is being tsundere?

But no matter what, it was already done, Hermione couldn’t change it. She just hoped that among the girls who came later, there wouldn’t be anyone who would surprise her even more.

Hermione’s wish would definitely come true.

Because Adele had anticipated this and made a rational decision, which was not to invite Tsukimi Shiro.

If Tsukimi Shiro came, the pressure on Adele would be immense.

Hearing Hermione’s words, Adele turned around and chuckled.

Her playful and helpless demeanor.

The next girl to arrive was also someone Dorothy and Hermione both knew, Sharon.

But the current Sharon had truly undergone a transformation, she was completely different from before.

It wasn’t that she had become incredibly stunning or beautiful, she was beautiful, but not in a peony-like, luxurious way, nor was she as delicate and cold as Hermione.

She was bright and charming, having washed away her past insecurities, timidity, and introversion. Her temperament alone was completely different.

The girl originally had short silver-gray hair, but now it had grown to her shoulders, adding a touch of gentleness.

“Adele.” Just by calling Adele’s name, Sharon’s voice conveyed her sweet love for the girl.

Of course, she also noticed the presence of Dorothy and Hermione.

But when she called out the names of the two girls she used to be familiar with, it felt completely different, with a hint of unease and distance.

“D-Dorothy… and Miss Hermione.”

“Long time no see.”

Hermione had a good relationship with Sharon, she stepped forward and gave Sharon a light hug.

As for Dorothy, she just snorted coldly and looked away, not even wanting to give Sharon a look.

Perhaps it was because her former follower had now betrayed her and even vaguely had a status equal to hers, by Adele’s side. This made Dorothy feel extremely unbalanced.

“My Sharon~”

Adele completely ignored Dorothy’s feelings and also hugged Sharon, but her hug was filled with care.

“Go inside and rest first, order whatever you want to eat.”

“Then Adele… what about you?”

“We’ll go in as soon as everyone is here~”

“Okay.”

So Sharon was also successfully received.

Finally, only Tang Linlang was left, and Adele’s harem would be basically complete!

Seraph might also count, at least in Adele’s mind, but as for what the angel herself thought, Adele didn’t know.

Unfortunately, Seraph’s identity was sensitive, and she was always mysterious, coming and going without a trace. Even if Adele invited her, she might not come.

Moreover, she couldn’t invite her and expose her existence.

So for now, Adele had only invited Dorothy, Hermione, Celeste, First Snow, Edith, Sharon, and Tang Linlang, a total of seven people!

Plus Adele herself, it was a banquet for eight.

It was a rare occasion, this was probably the first time Adele had mustered the courage to gather everyone together.

Before this, she had been hesitant, wondering whether to be a time management master, thinking that as long as she could keep hiding and concealing everything, she could create a perfect and happy illusion.

Or whether it was better to be open and honest from the beginning, to avoid causing harm through deception.

In the end, Adele chose the path she thought was right.

She originally thought that there would be thorns and cliffs ahead.

But judging from the result, there was a bridge built with the girls’ love for Adele on the cliff.

It wasn’t fragile, but strong. It wasn’t narrow, but wide.

After today, everyone’s relationship with Adele would probably reach a new level.

Tang Linlang was a punctual girl, and today was no exception.

It was just that the others arrived too early, making her seem a little late.

But this wasn’t Tang Linlang’s intention, she actually wanted to leave early.

But obviously, her father was a little resistant to Tang Linlang attending a dinner party where almost all the participants were vampires.

He was a little worried that his daughter, the only human, would be hurt or ostracized.

So he tried to persuade his daughter, but obviously, he failed.

And in reality, how could Tang Linlang be hurt or ostracized?

Because Adele was by her side.

Most of the time, Adele seemed to be the fragile girl who needed protection.

But when the girls she cherished were hurt, she would stand up for them without hesitation.

“I’m sorry, Adele, I’m late.”

Tang Linlang apologized to Adele, but all she got was a warm hug.

Making both their hearts beat faster.

“Silly girl, don’t say such things.”

“You came just in time~”

“Let’s go, everyone is waiting for us.”

Adele winked at Tang Linlang, and Tang Linlang’s soul seemed to be lost in those pink eyes, her expression dazed.

But she quickly came back to her senses and followed Adele, who held her hand tightly, and Hermione and Dorothy, who were in front of them, entering “Blood Charm.”

The decoration of this restaurant was quite antique, probably to cater to the aesthetics of Dongdu.

But it was aimed at vampire members who had no Eastern style at all.

Adele and the others went around a screen and continued walking forward, then they saw the elevator.

They took the elevator down to the basement first floor, and following the guidance of the staff, Adele finally arrived at her loyal “harem”!

At this moment, in the private room of the restaurant, only the sound of Sharon and First Snow chatting softly could be heard. It could be seen that the girls weren’t familiar with each other at all, so being able to take the initiative to communicate was already a rare thing.

Sharon, despite her introverted personality, was able to chat with First Snow, mainly because First Snow was close to this seemingly honest girl.

The quirky little cat girl was about to trick Sharon into becoming her dried fish provider, enjoying the same treatment as Senior Li Lige.

Occasionally, she wouldn’t mind letting Sharon touch her for a bit, meow.

Celeste and Edith probably couldn’t find anything to talk about, so they just looked at the cups and dishes in front of them, not speaking.

Until Adele arrived, both of them raised their shining eyes and looked towards the door.

They saw a delicate girl with a smug expression, surrounded by Dorothy, Hermione, and of course, Tang Linlang, arriving at her harem.

Just as everyone was expecting her to say something about this “perfect” scene…

Adele touched her nose and said with an embarrassed smile,

“I don’t know what to say, but I’m really happy and grateful.”

“Let’s not talk about it… let’s order first!”

Chapter 215: Adele Plays It Big

Adele’s cheeks flushed slightly, but it wasn’t noticeable under the sunlight.

Of course, she noticed Celeste’s, her silly puppy’s, gaze, full of longing.

Was she looking at her master or a bone?

This girl…

But despite saying that, Adele still took this opportunity during the break to go to Celeste.

“Mas… Adele.”

Celeste couldn’t help but want to call Adele “Master,” but remembering that they were at school, with many other students around, she quickly changed her address.

Adele pursed her lips and bumped Celeste’s shoulder playfully.

“Hey, how did you do on the exam?”

“…Not bad.”

Celeste’s smile was genuine, she probably did well, so Adele also smiled.

“How about you, Master?”

Because they were standing close together and weren’t greeting each other, Celeste only needed to whisper softly next to Adele’s ear.

So she reverted to her usual habit and called Adele “Master.”

“Hmph, of course I’m fine.”

The two of them chatted softly, enjoying the leisure time during the break.

But the good times didn’t last long, the next exam was about to start.

They parted ways, each entering their respective examination rooms, waiting for the exam papers to be distributed.

The final exams were held over two days, with a total of five subjects.

For the final exams, Adele even gave up her beloved games and stayed away from women – this was probably the most surprising thing.

Whenever she had free time, she would review her studies. Unconsciously, it really felt like she was back in her previous life, preparing for the college entrance exam.

Adele had experienced the college entrance exam, so she had far more experience and endurance than other students.

The two-day final exams finally ended. To celebrate, Adele specifically organized a dinner party.

All the prominent figures in the academy would attend, guess who wasn’t invited?

The answer was the Amaterasu Kuro and Tsukimi Shiro twins.

Not only because Adele and Amaterasu Kuro were at odds, but also because even if they were invited, it was uncertain whether they would dare to come.

Among the girls attending the dinner party, Dorothy and Hermione wouldn’t mind sending them to a sanatorium for another round of “rest,” and Celeste wouldn’t let anyone who hurt her master off the hook.

So even though Adele was actually in contact with Tsukimi Shiro in private and had thought about inviting her to the dinner party, she eventually gave up. Firstly, the other girls wouldn’t agree, and secondly, Tsukimi Shiro’s sister, Amaterasu Kuro, would be furious.

Tsukimi Shiro had revealed in her messages that the relationship between her and her sister had reached a freezing point.

Her sadness and sorrow could be felt between the lines.

After all, they were once inseparable twin sisters.

Although Adele didn’t like Amaterasu Kuro, she still hoped that the two sisters could reconcile.

With Dorothy, Hermione, and others participating, the grandeur of this dinner party naturally went without saying.

Therefore, Adele gave up on the idea of making dinner at home or having a hot pot, and instead asked Dorothy and Hermione for help, asking if they could book a good restaurant.

Adele had heard that truly high-end restaurants required a member’s invitation or recommendation to enter.

Although Adele didn’t like this kind of arrogant rule, she couldn’t deny that the food in those restaurants might be truly precious and delicious, at least it made Adele, a foodie, drool.

And the restaurant’s high status made it very impressive when treating guests.

But Adele had neither power nor money, so she could only ask for help from Dorothy and Hermione.

The result was that they would find the restaurant, and Adele would take all the credit.

But neither of them had any objections.

Who would have thought that they both chose the same restaurant, a restaurant called “Blood Charm”?

Just hearing the name made it sound extraordinary. After Dorothy and Hermione explained it separately, Adele learned that this was a restaurant that only served high-ranking vampires.

Even when humans and vampire True Ancestors met to discuss the peace treaty, this restaurant was responsible for the food and drinks, it was the so-called “state banquet.”

But the one Dorothy and Hermione chose was just a branch, not the one that hosted “state banquets,” but it was still very exciting.

Adele: “A menu specifically for vampires? I hope we won’t see a table full of spicy blood curd when we get there…”

Of course, there were even more terrifying things, such as serving live humans… God knows what kind of horror scenes Adele imagined when she thought of “feasts specifically for vampires.”

She had probably watched too many vampire horror movies.

Hermione: “Pfft, how is that possible? We vampires are the most refined nobles.”

Dorothy: “The food here is very good, I come here often.”

Adele, Hermione, and Dorothy were communicating on their phones through a chat app. They had created a small group to discuss the dinner party.

But if Adele wasn’t there to talk, this group was basically dead.

After all, the relationship between Hermione and Dorothy was there, they simply didn’t get along.

It was truly amazing that Adele had the magic and charm to make them put aside their past grievances and work together for her suggestion.

You know, although it was Adele who came up with the idea for the dinner party, it was actually Hermione and Dorothy who did all the work, choosing the restaurant and making reservations.

Finally, the time for the dinner party was set for the Saturday evening after the final exams ended.

That day, Hermione and Dorothy arrived early at the antique-looking storefront located in a corner of the human city.

The name of the store, “Blood Charm,” would probably make most people wonder, “What… do they sell here?”

Most people, upon seeing such a store, wouldn’t even think about stepping inside.

But there were also a few who boldly entered. And “Blood Charm” would treat these ordinary humans, who were ignorant and fearless, with excellent service, providing them with “delicious dishes” that would make them forget they had ever been there.

As for vampires who knew their true nature, especially noble guests with family backgrounds, such as Dorothy and Hermione…

They would be served with the utmost respect until the princesses were satisfied.

Dorothy and Hermione stepped inside, welcomed respectfully by the staff.

They went around screens and folding screens, walked through several winding paths, and then entered the elevator. The elevator only had buttons for the first floor, the basement first floor, and the basement second floor.

So this store was located underground.

The dark, mysterious underground, where vampires were born.

The two noble girls, led by the staff, arrived at the private room on the basement first floor that they had booked almost a week in advance. After checking that everything was as expected, they took the elevator back upstairs.

They wanted to be the first to pick up Adele.

Neither was willing to give in to the other.

And in name, they each believed that they were the ones who had arranged this, and it had nothing to do with the other.

………………

At this time, Adele was leaving the academy, together with First Snow, who had transformed into a cat and retracted her wings.

That’s right, First Snow was also among the invited girls, or rather, she was definitely there, as Adele’s cute pet and magic power battery.

First Snow: Meow!? Am I not Adele’s favorite kitten!?

Adele: There’s no need to mention that, everyone should know~

She hoped that First Snow could stomach the vampire banquet. If not, she would just order a steamed fish for her.

They hailed a taxi and headed towards the meeting point agreed upon in the dinner party group chat.

The so-called dinner party group chat was another group with Adele as the group leader.

Almost all the girls related to Adele were in it, but because they all had different nicknames, except for Adele, almost no one could recognize everyone else.

And it was worth mentioning that Adele had also muted everyone. Besides privately communicating with Dorothy and Hermione about the location of the restaurant and sending the location information to the group after confirming it, no one else had said a word.

Adele’s dominance… was really unexpected.

But if it was her, no matter who it was, they would want to pamper her and tolerate all her thoughts and actions.

Because this was a rare gathering for Adele’s current harem, Adele took it very seriously.

Booking the restaurant was just the first step in her plan, and this step was successfully completed.

The second step was to welcome the girls who arrived one after another.

That is, Adele’s wings.

The taxi stopped, Adele opened the door, and jumped out of the back seat, holding First Snow.

Dorothy and Hermione arrived at her side almost simultaneously, wanting to support her arm.

Adele was a little flattered and quickly shook her head,

“No need.”

This scene was truly breathtaking. Even the taxi driver was shocked, thinking to himself, had he accidentally entered some kind of high-end anime gathering?

He called it “anime” because Dorothy had pink hair and Hermione had long silver-blue hair.

And in terms of clothing, both of them had chosen their own “girl-slaying outfits,” their dresses as gorgeous as could be, it was hard not to think that they were cosplaying some anime characters.

But even the illusory, near-perfect characters in anime couldn’t compare to the real, truly perfect vampire girls in reality.

As for “high-end,” it was even easier to understand.

Just by looking at their temperament and aura, one couldn’t help but think – were they really from the same world?

They were so elegant and noble, as if they had descended from heaven.

Dorothy didn’t like being stared at, she glanced at the taxi driver, who was looking at her and Adele through the rearview mirror, with her crimson eyes.

The next moment, the taxi driver, as if possessed, drove the car with a blank expression to a parking space in the distance and stopped. Then he sat in his seat, dazed for a long time, as if thinking, “Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?”

Adele didn’t notice this at all. She just raised the cat in her arms and introduced,

“This is First Snow, meow! The principal’s Cat-Bird!”

First Snow, lifted by Adele, nervously and shyly wagged her tail and meowed softly, incredibly cute.

And Dorothy and Hermione exchanged glances, both shocked.

They were already a little disheartened when they saw so many girls in the dinner party group chat.

But in the end, they managed to turn their sadness around with their love for Adele.

Dorothy: Adele is still young and playful, it’s normal.

Hermione: I agree, she’s a bird that can’t be caged.

But now, First Snow’s presence made them realize something even more terrifying.

That was – Adele didn’t even let kittens go!

This wasn’t just an ordinary “furry” fetish!

This was the kind of thing that required medical attention.

If she could even do it to First Snow in her cat form…

Seemingly sensing the shock in Dorothy and Hermione’s eyes, Adele pouted, looking a little dissatisfied, and said to First Snow in her arms,

“Come on, First Snow, show them your magic!”

Because the girl’s voice was very soft and sweet, it made these words sound incredibly cute coming from her mouth.

“Meow~!”

First Snow readily agreed. As for what kind of magic she would show, with the tacit understanding she had developed with Adele after spending so much time together, she naturally knew.

As expected, the next moment, a golden light flashed.

First Snow, in her cat girl form, appeared in front of Dorothy and Hermione, her soft and cute appearance instantly melting their hearts.

But more importantly, this proved that Adele’s taste and standards were still normal, she wasn’t into anything weird!

“H-hello, meow, my name is First Snow, meow!”

First Snow introduced herself to Dorothy and Hermione.

Although she had seen these two girls in the academy before, this was her first time greeting them.

Because they didn’t know each other in the past, but now Dorothy and Hermione were Adele’s friends, so naturally, she had to be polite.

Just like when Xiao Wei’s friends came to visit, First Snow would also wag her ears or tail to welcome them.

Winona: Why do I only feel deeply discriminated against…

“Hello, I’m Dorothy.”

Dorothy’s response was very arrogant. She only needed to tell them her name, and then they would understand her identity and be in awe.

“I’m Hermione, Adele’s senior and first love.”

At least that’s what Hermione thought, but these words naturally caused Dorothy’s dissatisfaction, and they started arguing.

Adele just smiled faintly, not intending to clarify or acknowledge anything.

“First Snow, go in with the staff first, I guess they’ll have fun toys prepared for you.”

First Snow’s ears perked up when she heard this.

“Fun toys… computer?”

“…”

Adele thought to herself, had she completely turned First Snow into a gamer cat girl?

Because during the few days First Snow stayed in her dormitory, she basically spent her time either doing lewd things or playing on the computer, it made Adele want to complain, “Adele, you’re playing video games again!”

Otherwise, why would she, as a kitten, think of a computer as a toy instead of a cat teaser, an electric mouse, or a cat tree!?

No wonder Principal Winona had recently complained in her email about First Snow asking her to buy an expensive computer called… “Alienware”?

What kind of weird name was that? Besides that, First Snow also wanted to buy the same headphones, mechanical keyboard, and other things as Adele.

Because these were all small expenses, Winona just gave an order, and someone took care of everything for First Snow.

And Winona even cleared out a room in her castle and decorated it into a gaming room, which was also a toy room. Besides gaming equipment, it was also filled with First Snow’s favorite toys.

Adele just wanted to say – Sister Winona, do you… need another cat in your house? The kind that meows and warms the bed!

“M-maybe they will,” Adele said with a forced smile, stroking First Snow’s soft cat ears.

Dorothy licked her lips, partly because she was thirsty from arguing with Hermione, and partly because she was a little envious of First Snow’s cat ears.

Even though she was a princess, she still had girlish preferences, who could resist a pair of soft, twitching cat ears?

But First Snow keenly sensed Dorothy’s envy and quickly covered her ears with her hands after Adele finished petting them.

At the same time, she obeyed Adele’s words and followed the staff towards the private room for the gathering.

“She seems to be close to you only, Adele,” Dorothy said helplessly.

Adele smiled faintly.

Before she could say anything, the next car arrived as scheduled.

The person who got out of the car was Celeste.

She was wearing an elegant evening gown with white rose lace, even reminiscent of a wedding dress. Her long golden hair cascaded down her back, as if it was filled with bright and beautiful sunlight.

The girl took this dinner party very seriously, making Adele flattered.

She also gave Celeste a warm hug without hesitation.

This made Dorothy and Hermione feel a pang of jealousy.

But as the first girl Adele truly loved in this world, Celeste undoubtedly deserved it.

Even though her abilities weren’t outstanding, and her bloodline was Sequence Two, lower than Dorothy and Hermione’s…

But love never discriminated.

So Adele hugged Celeste without hesitation, even in front of Dorothy and Hermione.

If they were dissatisfied because of this, Adele wouldn’t compromise, she would also be dissatisfied.

Then it would depend on who would coax whom.

This respect and love made Celeste’s heart overflow with tenderness.

It made her whisper in Adele’s ear as they kissed,

“My Master, my beloved.”

“Then you’re my fool, the fool I love.”

Although it was just a brief kiss, it felt like an eternity, a lifetime.

When they finally separated, the anxiety and unease in Celeste’s eyes had disappeared, replaced by the confidence of knowing that she was deeply loved.

Even though she couldn’t compare to Dorothy and Hermione in terms of family background and abilities…

But in love, she hadn’t lost, she had even won!

“Celeste, go inside and rest first, I still have to welcome the others.”

“Yes, Master.”

At this point, Celeste thought it was time to reveal her relationship with Adele.

But Adele froze for a moment, then smiled.

“Just call me Adele.”

Wasn’t calling her “Adele” directly more intimate than “Master”?

Or maybe Celeste was also proud of her unique identity, even if it was just being Adele’s slave.

But having a master who truly loved her, being a slave wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Being a slave to love was even something to be proud of, as long as you hadn’t fallen for the wrong person.

This was the first time Dorothy and Hermione heard Celeste call Adele “Master.”

But their expressions were a little strange, and their thoughts seemed to be heading in the wrong direction.

They originally thought that Adele was just a little promiscuous, it couldn’t be helped, she was so beautiful and charming, constantly radiating attraction.

But now, they also realized – Adele was playing it big!

It was one thing to call her “Master” in private, but why didn’t she even restrain herself in public!

Chapter 214: The Reward from the Principal

Time flew by, and finally, the final exams arrived.

It was also the second day after Principal Winona returned to the academy.

The evening before, Winona, who had just returned to the academy on a broomstick-like staff, didn’t even have time to rest at home before rushing to Adele’s dormitory.

Principal Winona landed gracefully, put away her staff, and knocked on the door.

Seeing no response from inside, she frowned slightly.

Then she used magic to transmit her voice,

“Adele.”

At the same time, Adele, who was having “fun” with First Snow, trembled all over.

This voice, she was all too familiar with it!

It was Principal Winona, who had raised First Snow for many years and had a close relationship with her.

The next moment, Adele hurriedly climbed off the cute kitten, picked up her clothes and skirt scattered on the floor, and was about to hide in the closet.

“Adele, meow…?”

Since Winona’s voice transmission targeted all living beings within a specific area, she couldn’t directly sense what Adele was doing at this moment, but she could accurately transmit her voice to Adele’s heart.

Provided that Adele was home.

But Winona understood Adele’s homebody and lazy personality, she knew that Adele usually wouldn’t wander around, especially since she was also responsible for taking care of First Snow.

Adele: I can understand the homebody part… what the hell is lazy!?

Since it was transmitted to the hearts of all living beings within this area, First Snow, who had transformed into a cat girl, could naturally hear Winona’s call.

But unlike Adele’s nervous and panicked reaction, First Snow was not surprised at all, and even a little confused by Adele’s behavior.

Little First Snow really wanted to ask, what was Adele doing, meow…

Why did she hide her clothes and skirt, and why did she seem to want to hide in the closet?

Wasn’t this Adele’s dormitory?

By the time Adele realized this, she had already been holding her breath in “super autistic mode” inside her closet for about ten seconds.

The next moment, the closet door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

At the same time, Adele’s own complaint rang out,

“This is my dormitory!”

“First Snow is also my wing… what the hell am I afraid of!”

But the speed at which Adele hid in the closet was really fast, she was a natural…

It was fortunate that her relationship ethics were strong, otherwise, she didn’t know how many girls she would have harmed, maybe even someone else’s girlfriend!

First Snow blushed when she heard this.

Although she didn’t quite understand the meaning of “wing” in Adele’s words…

But because she had wings herself, she understood their importance and irreplaceability.

So, it must be a great metaphor, meow.

“First Snow, get dressed quickly, we’re going to see the principal.”

“…Not continuing, meow?”

First Snow seemed to be a little unsatisfied, her little hand resting between her legs as she sat with her feet tucked under her, a faint pink flush of excitement on her fair skin, asking cutely.

Adele was confused.

She really couldn’t understand this kitten’s train of thought.

The guardian was at the door, and they… still dared to continue!?

Besides the word “brave,” Adele couldn’t think of any other word to describe it.

You know, in some strict schools, even holding hands and kissing secretly could get you expelled.

And what she and First Snow were doing now… was much more serious than that!

It was like the ultimate step of love, the step to godhood.

So…

“I’ll make it up to you next time! Hurry up and get dressed, First Snow! Don’t let the principal find any clues about this!”

Adele hurriedly reminded her nervously.

Setting aside whether First Snow had the same concept as ordinary humans, when it came to her attitude towards Adele…

She was incredibly obedient, she listened to Adele’s every word.

So seeing Adele’s serious expression, First Snow didn’t bother to understand her doubts and quickly put on her clothes and skirt.

Finally, together with Adele, she ran downstairs with light steps.

Huffing and puffing, the girl’s cat ears and tail swayed behind her in the wind.

“Click!”

With the sound of a mechanism, the door opened.

In front of Principal Winona stood two girls, panting and with an unnatural blush on their faces.

Winona couldn’t help but slowly type a question mark in her heart.

“What were you two doing just now? Why are you so out of breath?”

She frowned deeply.

“Running… running.”

Adele answered immediately.

The corner of Winona’s mouth twitched.

Running at home? And didn’t the excuse of “running” sound a little familiar? It seemed like she had heard it in some kind of lewd scenario.

Noticing Winona’s disapproving look, Adele quickly changed her answer.

“Because I was thinking of coming downstairs to see you as soon as possible, I couldn’t help but run a little faster.”

“You know me, Principal, my stamina is really bad!”

This part was true.

Not long ago, she had won first place in the school’s physical fitness test, attracting everyone’s attention.

It was just that this “first place” was in reverse.

Winona thought of Adele’s physical test results. If this was used as evidence to prove that Adele would be out of breath after running down from upstairs… it wasn’t unreasonable.

However, she didn’t notice the look First Snow gave Adele.

It clearly meant “Adele is lying, meow.”

Because First Snow thought that Adele’s stamina after growing wings and a tail was very good.

She could keep… doing those strange but comfortable things to First Snow, meow.

As if she would never get tired.

So Adele was lying, her stamina was actually great, First Snow liked it very much, meow!

But for this, Adele wanted to say that it was because she was extremely aroused at that time, so she…

But in reality, Adele’s stamina was indeed very weak. She wasn’t a physical-type vampire, her body was small and delicate, she didn’t look strong at all.

“Okay, I’ll believe you for now.”

Winona finally gave up on her suspicion of Adele and gave her response.

Adele breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close, it was like dodging a girlfriend’s parents’ questioning during a secret relationship.

Then, Winona turned her gentle gaze to First Snow’s face and said softly with emotion,

“I’m back, First Snow.”

The purpose of her coming to Adele’s dormitory was, of course, to pick up her most beloved little one, her friend First Snow.

It didn’t matter if Adele couldn’t come down, as long as First Snow returned to her side, that was enough.

“Xiao Wei! Meow!”

First Snow also expressed her longing for Xiao Wei and immediately pounced on the woman in front of her.

Congratulations, congratulations.

Adele stood aside, squinting and clapping her hands.

It seemed that First Snow would be returning to Winona’s castle.

This meant that Adele was once again alone – when the angel Seraph wasn’t around.

But before leaving, Winona put down the soft and fragrant kitten and looked at Adele again.

“Adele, what kind of reward would you like?”

“Reward?”

To Winona’s surprise, Adele actually expressed confusion.

“Why would I need a reward for taking care of First Snow?”

She said matter-of-factly.

Winona’s eyes lit up. She thought that she had underestimated this girl.

She originally thought that Adele was a very greedy girl, who would demand a lot of benefits from her before being satisfied.

But she never expected that Adele was so selfless and truly good to First Snow.

Instantly, in Winona’s heart, Adele’s insignificant image grew a little taller.

Adele: Insignificant, you say? Meow meow meow! (Cat curse)

“You can refuse, but I can’t not give it to you. Anyway, thank you for taking care of First Snow.”

First Snow also took Adele’s sleeve with one hand and shook it, saying,

“Just accept it, Adele, Xiao Wei is very generous, she will definitely satisfy you, meow!”

Winona coughed lightly at this moment.

First Snow was praising her so much… it wouldn’t be right if she didn’t give Adele a better reward.

But this girl, First Snow, was so innocent and pure, she probably wouldn’t think of such a complicated thing, she wouldn’t deliberately flatter Winona.

“I will give you a suitable reward. If you have anything you want, you can also come to me.”

“This is my promise to you, Adele.”

“What I want…” Adele murmured to herself, her pink pupils gradually brightening.

Winona suddenly regretted saying those words when she saw Adele’s expression.

But since she had already said it, there was no going back.

And Adele also said,

“Alright, then I’ll gratefully accept it. As for what I want, I haven’t thought about it yet!”

“I’ll come to you when I think of it, Principal!”

“Mmm… then, I’ll take First Snow with me.”

Winona said to Adele, holding First Snow’s hand.

Adele looked at the cute First Snow reluctantly, then nodded.

First Snow also felt a wave of sadness at this moment, and her eyes welled up with tears.

“Adele… meow…” she murmured in a trembling voice.

“First Snow…”

Adele replied in the same sad tone.

It looked like they were about to hug each other, like a farewell scene in a tragic drama.

Until Winona suddenly interrupted.

“It’s not like you’re saying goodbye forever, you’re both still in the same school, why are you being so dramatic?”

The principal’s expression was full of speechlessness.

“Ahem…”

Adele coughed awkwardly.

“Then… then goodbye, First Snow.”

“Goodbye, Adele, meow.”

First Snow also blushed and bid farewell to Adele softly.

The cat-sitting incident came to an end.

This happened the day before Adele’s final exams.

………………

On the first day of the final exams…

Adele first replied to the “Good luck on your exams!” messages from a group of girls, including Celeste, Sharon, Dorothy, Hermione…

Thinking to herself, “Hmph, do I look like someone who needs good luck? It’s just a final exam, piece of cake!”

But the smile on her lips was obvious.

Then, the girl took a bite of her jam-covered bread, wrapped herself in a duffle coat, and walked out into the snowy wind.

Yes, overnight, the entire Cromwell Academy had been covered in a blanket of white.

The snow fell gracefully, silently covering the entire Dongdu after Adele fell asleep.

Under the moonlight at midnight, Adele’s dormitory roof sparkled with a jade-like glow. Seraph sat on it, watching the snow fall all night.

Fortunately, she was an angel, she wouldn’t freeze to death, but her red nose was very cute.

Unfortunately, Adele had to go to school before she could see it, leaving behind the unwashed milk glass, the jam jar, and the bread maker for Seraph to clean up.

Adele: It’s amazing, no matter how messy and dirty I make the house, when I come back, it’s always clean and tidy, why is that, meow!

Seraph: …

She wondered if there was a story about a snail girl in this world.

If not, Adele might consider “borrowing” the idea and writing a story about an angel girl.

………………

“Good morning, Adele!”

When Adele arrived at the classroom door, she found Tang Linlang standing there, holding a notebook behind her back, as if she was waiting for someone.

And judging from her nervous greeting, the person she was waiting for was undoubtedly Adele.

“Good morning, Linlang, is there something you want to tell me?”

Adele smiled and reached out to stroke Tang Linlang’s hair.

It felt like after such a long time, Linlang’s figure had become even better.

When Adele first transmigrated, Tang Linlang was as petite as she was.

But now… could someone tell Adele why she was still cute and hadn’t changed, while Tang Linlang was half a head taller than her, and her figure had become more well-proportioned and slender?

One could almost imagine the future of this girl-next-door growing into a big sister-next-door.

But even so, Tang Linlang still couldn’t escape the fate of being patted on the head by Adele.

The dynamic between them hadn’t changed at all.

Tang Linlang enjoyed Adele’s touch, her cheeks slightly flushed as she took out her notebook from behind her back and handed it to Adele.

“I-it’s nothing much, just some notes I organized, some key points that I think will definitely be on the exam. If Adele wants to read them, take them.”

“There’s still about an hour before the exam.”

“With Adele’s memory, it will be no problem.”

“…Thank you then.”

Adele didn’t actually have the habit of studying before exams.

But since it was Tang Linlang’s kindness, she accepted it.

It was like Tang Linlang had brought Adele a “Buddha’s foot” to hug at the last minute.

The so-called “cramming.”

Entering the classroom, the vampire girls were rarely seen gathered in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing, and acting like delinquents. Instead, they were all seriously reading their books.

Don’t let their usual playful behavior fool you, when it came to important exams, if they didn’t take it seriously, not only would they be unable to answer to themselves, but they would also be unable to answer to their families.

They knew that they were Sequence Fives, and their greatest contribution to their families was to try to become human civil servants, so the final exams, which could add points to their chances of getting a government job after graduation, were the most important event of each academic year.

Adele rarely experienced such a serious study atmosphere, she also gave up on slacking off and started to read and memorize the notes Tang Linlang had organized.

An hour passed by unconsciously, and the bell rang, signaling the arrival of the teacher and the official start of the exam.

The teacher, dressed in a serious suit and carrying a briefcase, walked in and then, at a leisurely pace, unsealed the exam papers, displayed them, and distributed them.

Almost all the students started writing eagerly the moment they received their papers.

First their names, then they started reading the questions, thinking, and finally writing down their answers.

For a while, the entire classroom was filled with the rustling sound of pens.

When the first exam ended, the snow had also stopped falling, and the sky cleared up.

Adele went to the corridor to relax and breathe in the fresh air.

The bright and warm sunlight shone on her hair, shoulders, and upturned face, making the girl look radiant.

Celeste, who was not far away, was mesmerized by the sight.

Chapter 213: The Angel’s Gratitude

The turmoil caused by the black and white twins finally came to an end.

But no one knew the courage Adele had summoned when facing them alone, ultimately relying on her own strength to resolve the crisis.

So Adele felt a bit indignant about this.

She was a girl who needed praise and recognition, especially when she had put in so much effort, when she had achieved something for the first time without relying on others.

At first, she boasted about it to Seraph, who had suddenly appeared.

Seraph, as always, was indifferent. Although she expressed her congratulations to Adele, Adele couldn’t feel happy.

“You’re just saying that, you’re not sincere at all!”

The girl threw herself onto the bed and started rolling around.

However, Seraph, as if unable to read the atmosphere, came to her side and said,

“Rather than that, I’m more curious about what Adele did in her Witch Domain.”

“What I did?”

Adele, hugging her pillow, stopped rolling and pouted, her dissatisfied expression incredibly cute.

It seemed that Seraph was very concerned about Adele’s performance as a witch.

After all, she was the angel who had turned Adele into a witch.

Adele thought for a moment and realized that it was a bit difficult to describe.

In the end, she simply hugged Seraph and pushed her down.

“If you want to know what I did, let’s just reenact it!”

“…”

Although Seraph looked speechless, she agreed with Adele’s straightforward demonstration method in her heart.

Perhaps the thought processes of angels and humans were really different.

Besides, this body was originally a shell she had created for Adele.

After a round of passionate activity, Seraph gradually understood everything.

In the bathroom, Adele was cleaning Seraph’s “stained” body.

Actually, Seraph could have easily solved this with a simple spell, but seeing Adele being so serious, Seraph couldn’t refuse her kindness.

She simply enjoyed the refreshing sensation of the hot water washing over her body and slowly opened her eyes, saying,

“That girl has rich emotional value.”

Adele tilted her head, thinking for a moment before realizing that Seraph was probably talking about Tsukimi Shiro.

She couldn’t help but retort,

“That topic is over… your train of thought is too long.”

“But you mean, you want me to extract more emotional value from her?”

“Pretty much, but I’m not saying she’s special. It’s just that she’s your nourishment, and you had a conflict with her before, so you can be unrestrained…”

Before Seraph could finish her sentence, Adele interrupted her with a frown, her voice sharp.

“I disagree with you!”

“That would be treating someone completely as a tool to be exploited!”

“Seraph, shouldn’t universal love be a characteristic of angels?”

Adele stopped wiping Seraph’s back and instead hugged her, pressing her soft cheek against Seraph’s delicate back, which was originally white but now flushed slightly pink from the hot water.

Faintly visible on Seraph’s shoulder blades were two scars that looked like they had been burned.

There should have been a pair of angel wings there, but Seraph had retracted them to fulfill Adele’s wish of washing her body, revealing the marks where the wings were rooted in her body.

It looked painful, as if becoming an angel required enduring unimaginable pain.

But Seraph seemed to be a creation of the “Lord,” she was born an angel, not someone who became an angel through trials.

So Adele thought of another, rather whimsical possibility.

That was, had Seraph’s wings been broken before?

But later, she received a blessing or used another method to regrow them.

Whatever the case, Adele couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

Perhaps unconsciously, she had also come to see the seemingly emotionless, three-no angel Seraph as a precious companion.

So she couldn’t help but gently kiss the two scars with her lips.

Seraph instantly felt an indescribable tremor, and her whole body went limp.

She wasn’t the omniscient and omnipotent “Lord,” but she could clearly sense what Adele was doing at this moment.

This made Seraph’s heart flutter, a feeling she hadn’t felt in a thousand years.

Adele kissed… the place where her wings were once broken?

Seraph used all her strength to suppress the fluttering in her heart and calmly responded to Adele’s question,

“Universal love? That’s just a quality that humans arbitrarily assigned to us.”

“The Lord loves the world, so we love the world.”

And vice versa.

“Witches should have rich and strong emotions, that’s how they can influence more people. From this perspective, Adele, you’re already a qualified witch.”

“If you don’t want to treat others as tools to be exploited, that’s fine.”

“But I can feel that this world is starting to change. Maybe my early awakening… wasn’t that early after all.”

Maybe it was just the right time.

Seraph’s gaze was deep, although she was looking at the mist in the bathroom, it was as if she was looking at the vast sky and stars.

“New changes?”

Adele asked, confused.

“A storm is coming. It’s not just me, beings from ancient times are also awakening. This world will soon cease to be as peaceful as it is now.”

“Before that, it’s always right to improve your strength for self-preservation.”

This was what Seraph truly wanted to tell Adele.

The current Adele was still too weak, and Seraph couldn’t protect her forever. After all, Seraph had her own things to do, she needed to welcome the Lord’s arrival and fight for Him.

It was worth mentioning that Seraph had actually noticed Amaterasu Kuro and Tsukimi Shiro’s pursuit of Adele.

But at that time, she was observing in secret, watching the world from her own space.

The reason she didn’t intervene was because she hoped that Adele could solve this not-so-big problem with her own abilities.

And Adele’s actions earned Seraph’s approval, although Adele would probably never know about it.

Hearing Seraph’s words, which finally showed a hint of emotion, Adele raised her eyebrows and asked,

“So… Seraph, are you actually concerned about me?”

Adele could always see through to the essence of things.

This was her talent, her innate intuition.

A faint blush suddenly appeared on Seraph’s pale, usually expressionless face.

The emotionless angel, at this moment, was made to experience the feeling of “being at a loss” for the first time by a tiny human, she was no longer emotionless.

After a while, she closed her eyes and said,

“No.”

Fortunately, Seraph was facing away from Adele at this moment, so Adele couldn’t see her flustered expression.

Hearing this, Adele pouted her cute lips and replied in a muffled voice,

“…Oh.”

But Seraph could see her expression.

It made Seraph’s heart feel a strange sensation.

Could it be said… that she was charmed?

Seraph became confused.

She started to think that it was the fault of this body, not her own problem.

Because the body she created was a human body, and humans were known for their strong emotions among all races.

And the one she was facing was Adele, the Lust Witch, whose greatest talent was seducing others.

So everything that followed made sense.

She would… explain it that way for now.

Seraph took a deep breath and exhaled.

“Continue, Adele.”

She said softly.

However, Adele was currently engrossed in Seraph’s smooth and delicate back, her fingertips sliding over it, unable to let go.

After a while, she finally realized that Seraph meant for her to continue scrubbing her back.

The girl couldn’t help but bite Seraph’s shoulder. It didn’t hurt, it was more like playful teasing or acting coquettishly.

Because although Adele was the one who took the initiative to clean Seraph’s body, if Seraph asked her to do it as if it was a matter of course, Adele would feel a clear sense of displeasure and would suddenly want to bite Seraph.

Some people might dislike this kind of personality, while others might like it.

But no matter what they thought, Adele was Adele, she wanted to be a free and unrestrained girl.

But after being bitten by Adele, Seraph felt that strange feeling erupt in her heart again.

It made her body tingle.

It also made Seraph involuntarily clench her legs together, as if a warm current… was about to flow out.

She was truly… the most talented witch embracing the original sin of “Lust” that she had ever seen after “her.”

On the surface, it seemed that Adele’s witch transformation was bestowed by Seraph, and the reason she became the Lust Witch was also due to Seraph’s choice.

But in reality, it wasn’t like that. Seraph did give Adele the opportunity to become a witch.

But it was Adele’s own heart that chose which path of original sin to take.

It was fortunate that Adele didn’t know this.

Otherwise, she would definitely question her life and say, “Seraph! You’re slandering me!”

It was like the original heroine “Adele” who wholeheartedly sought revenge and became the Revenge Witch.

And Adele, who was wholeheartedly “lewd” and full of dirty thoughts, became the Lust Witch.

This must be slander!

After a flurry of activity, Adele stretched out her arms, her lovely breasts bouncing with the movement, as if celebrating.

“Done, meow!”

“…”

Seraph had always wanted to complain.

Had Adele been assimilated by that little Cat-Bird?

But this little Cat-Bird was also quite strange, completely regressed into a cat.

And speaking of Cat-Birds, these magical creatures, Seraph couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Cat-Birds, it was said that they had the ability to choose the chosen one.

But in reality, it was just because the chosen one from the past had chosen them as pets.

As for the reason why First Snow was attached to Adele, Seraph tentatively analyzed it as… perhaps it was simply because Adele was cute.

And “bad girls attract cats.”

This wasn’t to say that Adele was “bad.”

But it was undeniable that she was a “naughty” girl.

“Don’t space out, Seraph, it’s your turn to wash me!”

“…Okay.”

Seraph didn’t expect that Adele had been waiting for her.

But helping someone bathe wasn’t difficult. Through her observation, Seraph had already learned the steps of Adele washing her body and hair.

Soon, they left the bathroom.

Seraph used magic to instantly evaporate the water from their hair without damaging the delicate strands.

So when Adele suddenly noticed a lot of “smoke” coming out of her head in the mirror, she screamed in horror,

“Fire! Fire! Help, help!”

Seraph looked at Adele with an expression of “you idiot.”

Then, Adele noticed that a large cloud of steam was also appearing above Seraph’s head, looking like smoke from a fire.

She finally understood.

“It was you, Seraph!”

She immediately reached out and pinched Seraph’s cheek.

“So-… mmph… sorry…”

This made Seraph’s apology sound muffled.

However, soon, when Adele’s hair was back to its usual smoothness and no longer wet, she even praised Seraph,

“This magic is pretty good.”

As if she had completely forgotten who she was angry at just now.

But Seraph had long been used to Adele’s behavior and didn’t mind.

Adele, with her hair dry, only wrapped in a towel and threw herself onto her soft bed, playing with her phone.

When she was scrolling through short videos and found a particularly funny one, she wanted to share it with Seraph and called out to her with a laugh,

“Seraph, come and see this! It’ll definitely make you laugh, it’s so boring to always have a straight face, Sala… ph?”

Only then did Adele notice…

That Seraph was no longer behind her.

The angel had once again disappeared without a trace.

Adele froze, and after a while, she bit her lip and muttered,

“You could at least say goodbye before leaving.”

Then she turned back to her phone and continued scrolling through funny short videos.

But this time, for some reason, Adele couldn’t find a single video that could make her laugh heartily after scrolling through several.

Feeling irritated, she threw her phone aside and buried her face in the soft blanket.

For some reason, her eyelashes seemed a little moist.

………………

However, in reality, Seraph, who had returned to the Angel Domain, was still watching Adele, watching the world where Adele was.

When she saw Adele’s attempt to share the video with her, and the lonely expression on her face afterward…

Seraph’s heart felt heavy, as if chains had been bound around it.

Later, she did something stupid.

The angel watched the video Adele wanted to share with her through special means.

Actually, as an angel, Seraph couldn’t quite understand the humor in this video for humans, she even found the background music a bit noisy.

But she still tried to smile, a stiff smile.

Then, in the void, she looked at the girl’s figure that gradually appeared in her mind, her eyes as gentle as water, and whispered,

“Adele, it’s very funny, thank you.”
