Chapter 122: The Lust Witch

In broad daylight, with the sun shining brightly, someone dared to abduct a girl in the academy.

If you asked Adele what she thought about it… she was the girl being abducted!

At least, that’s what she thought in her heart.

After all, apart from her beauty, she was useless – she had a good understanding of herself.

Actually, at first, Adele didn’t take the strange sound behind her seriously. It just sounded like the wind whooshing, something fluttering, maybe leaves, maybe a flag by the roadside.

Until she passed by a teaching building, the building’s position happened to block the wind blowing from the north.

But the whooshing sound behind her didn’t stop.

At this time, Adele finally realized the problem, and it was a big problem. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Then, she started imagining scenes from various horror movies, which made her even more afraid to look back.

After all, this was a classic horror trope, the protagonist turning around and instantly seeing a terrifying scene.

Whether they would be scared or not was unknown, but it would definitely scare the audience.

It was the kind of “you know the scary part is coming,” “it knows you know the scary part is coming,” “you know it knows you know…”

Even if this went on forever, and both sides knew what was going on, you would still be scared out of your wits!

Therefore, Adele didn’t dare to look back. And as the figure behind her got closer, the tension in her heart grew stronger and stronger, until it finally snapped!

That’s why Adele was running away now.

And the voice behind her – “Don’t be afraid, child.”

If Adele believed that, she would be a fool!

She started shouting for help, shouting loudly.

But unfortunately, in the silent academy at night, it was like a drop in the bucket.

Usually, she felt that the academy’s environment was excellent.

But at times like this, Adele would hate the vastness of the academy. After all, it was a luxurious academy where two students could share a two-story apartment.

But she didn’t know that her voice was actually trapped inside a membrane, unable to reach the outside world.

That was something the “angel” could easily do.

Her domain extended over a wide area around her body, and everything that happened within it wouldn’t be known to the outside world – at least that’s what the “angel” thought.

But the “angel” was a product from thousands of years ago, and the world had changed rapidly.

Many beings that were once considered uncontainable had now been locked up by the Foundation.

Even “angels,” there were successful containment cases in history.

But it was just in history.

If there was an existing angel in the Foundation, that greedy human executive wouldn’t have sent the exploration team to their deaths, awakening the angel from the ruins.

The angel must have heard his wish, back in the prison.

But at that time, the angel closed all her eyes, and then burned his sins with karmic fire.

In fact, the angel didn’t even need to chase after Adele.

Soon, Adele was out of breath.

Her stamina was really worrying, even the angel showed a subtle expression.

Although, with her current appearance, six wings burning with karmic fire, a huge eyeball overlooking the world in the center, and countless other eyeballs on the wings… who could tell her expression!

“I can’t… sob…”

Adele gave up.

She gave up rationally.

She collapsed on the grass, the cool and soft blades of grass pressing against her knees. She gasped for breath, her gaze fixed on the ground in front of her, dazed.

Because she realized that no matter how she ran, she couldn’t escape the boundaries of this area.

And – the fact that her voice couldn’t reach the outside world.

At that moment, Adele thought of Li Lige.

This feeling, compared to being in Li Lige’s witch’s domain… well, it wasn’t exactly the same, but it was basically the same.

So… the one following her was a witch?

Another one!?

Why was Adele even struggling then, was it to make a fool of herself?

She couldn’t figure it out, had she stumbled into a witch’s nest?

Li Lige was fine, she was still on the right track in the early stages of the story, meeting her was fate, and Adele had only changed her ending, it wasn’t a major deviation.

But who was this big sister?

Adele felt both depressed and angry after learning the “truth.”

As the saying went, “Impulse is the devil,” but sometimes, cowardly people needed a burst of impulse to give them courage.

Since it was a witch, it meant that the other party was at least a person, not a ghost – Adele had been hearing a whooshing sound behind her, as if something was floating and following her, this was the main reason why she didn’t dare to look back.

She mistakenly thought that she had encountered a supernatural event. If it were a robber, she wouldn’t be so afraid.

Thinking of this, Adele finally let out a sigh of relief. Then she mustered her courage, puffed out her cheeks, and wanted to express her anger and dissatisfaction, to take the initiative.

Perhaps it was because of Li Lige that she had too good an impression of witches, to the point where she didn’t even consider that this action might anger the other party.

In the face of a huge power gap, it was better to stay humble.

But if the power difference was too great, no matter what you did, in the other party’s eyes, you would probably look “cute.”

That was the most despairing thing.

The angel did indeed find Adele very cute, reminding her of the past, of the woman who caused the fall and destruction of Sodom.

Adele had a very similar aura and characteristics.

She slowly floated down behind Adele, just in time to meet Adele’s gaze as she turned around.

Their four eyes – countless eyes – met.

Adele’s face instantly turned pale.

At the same time, she felt like she couldn’t breathe, her breath caught in her throat.

Then, her mouth opened, her eyelids rolled back, her body stiffened, and she fell straight back onto the green grass.

She fainted from fright.

Unable to get up again!

Angel: “…”

It was the first time the angel felt her pride hurt.

She didn’t expect Adele to faint directly.

Although she knew that her appearance might be a little scary to humans, angels, unlike demons, didn’t need to use their beauty to deceive humans.

Didn’t need to… right?

If it were a long, long time ago, she wouldn’t have doubted it at all.

But now, she felt that times had changed.

………………

Under the tranquil moonlight, the unconscious girl lay quietly on the soft bed.

Suddenly, the girl’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

This movement caught the attention of the holy being in front of her.

Her name was Angel, and her current appearance did indeed match the later human imagination of angels.

Holy, beautiful, with snow-white wings, and most importantly… she had to be in human form.

The angel thought that her original form was also holy and beautiful, with six wings spread wide, countless eyes full of intellectual beauty, when she gazed at the world, she could make people feel the deepest peace in their hearts.

Humans: Yes, cardiac arrest, world peace.

So, just like the laws of commerce, generally speaking, a product had to have an appearance that satisfied the buyer to be sold.

Angels weren’t products, but they were guides created by the “Lord.”

Then the “target” being guided had the right to decide her appearance.

That’s why the angel had transformed into her current form, a girl with white hair and blue eyes.

White was the color of purity, blue was the color of the boundless sky.

She silently watched Adele, who was slowly sitting up on the bed, supporting herself with her arms, rubbing her temples.

The moment she opened her eyes, but before she was fully awake, the angel greeted her gently,

“You’re awake.”

“The witchification was successful.”

“?”

“Now, you are the witch who governs lust.”

In short, the “Lust Witch.”

Chapter 121: Don’t Be Afraid, Child

Hot pot was best enjoyed with a large group!

But Adele might have overlooked the individual feelings of the other three.

Or maybe she didn’t. This clever girl understood it all too well.

She did it on purpose, deliberately bringing the three of them together, creating opportunities even if there were none.

Starting with familiarity, whether they could become friends was another matter.

At least when Adele got too close to one of them, the other two, for the sake of their first encounter, might be more tolerant of Adele and the other person.

Ultimately achieving a harmonious harem!

So she waited expectantly with Celeste, who had a bitter look on her face, for the arrival of the other two.

With four people, they could even play mahjong.

But Adele didn’t know how to play mahjong, so that option was out!

The first to arrive at the hot pot restaurant was Tang Linlang, who lived in the bustling city center nearby.

She and her father had moved out of their old house, the area was under construction day and night, and they had also hired professionals to protect the Tang family ancestral hall.

So there was nothing to worry about.

And Tang Linlang could finally start enjoying a real modern life.

Her new home was truly a world apart from her previous living environment.

But because it was too intelligent, Tang Linlang hadn’t figured out many of the modern functions yet. At times like this, she would feel like a country girl who didn’t know what to do with new things.

Of course, she wasn’t a country girl at all, just a little simple.

The kind of simplicity of a girl next door, incredibly cute.

Adele had also been to Tang Linlang’s new home, she was even more shocked than Tang Linlang herself.

But seeing her again, Tang Linlang wasn’t much different from her past self, she even had a positive change, which was that she had become much more confident.

Adele waved to Tang Linlang.

“Linlang~ Over here, over here!”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough to reach Tang Linlang’s ears through the noisy crowd.

Tang Linlang was still wearing her old duffle coat, British style, the hem almost reaching her knees.

It should be the coat she wore last winter, simple, elegant, and cheap.

The reason she wore this coat was because the temperature dropped too quickly, and she hadn’t had time to buy new winter clothes yet.

But before that, Tang Linlang noticed how thin Adele’s dress was.

So her thoughts instantly jumped from choosing clothes for herself to thinking about what kind of clothes she should buy for Adele.

She noticed Celeste beside Adele, noticed her sullen expression.

But Tang Linlang didn’t show any emotion, she just raised her hand and waved to Adele happily.

Then, she came to Adele’s side and sat down.

It was a square table for four people. Originally, when Adele and Celeste were on a date alone, they sat facing each other, able to see each other just by looking up, which was perfect.

But now that Tang Linlang had joined them, her position seemed closer to Adele.

Adele was also happy to lean towards Tang Linlang, making Tang Linlang blush and lower her head, silently enjoying it.

“I called you out so late, Linlang, you don’t blame me, do you?”

“Of course not, actually, I’m also a little hungry.”

Hearing this, Adele’s eyes widened slightly.

“Really? Then eat more, Linlang~ You’re so thin.”

“By the way, have you finished your internship task? Poor me, I worked overtime all night and just got off work.”

“Eh… how could they do that? I’m going to complain to the academy about this unit!”

Tang Linlang, not knowing the truth, naturally sided with Adele and expressed her dissatisfaction.

But Adele was just casually mentioning it as a topic of conversation. Actually, she was the one who skipped work in the afternoon, and the overtime work at night was entirely her own fault.

So she coughed lightly and quickly stopped Tang Linlang, who seemed to be speaking up for her.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, let’s not talk about these unhappy experiences. Besides, there’s a senior in the archives management room who takes special care of me.”

“If you complain, Linlang, I’ll have to leave there in two days, and the final result will definitely be her getting punished instead, that wouldn’t be good.”

“But…” Tang Linlang saw Adele shaking her head. “Okay, but if you’re wronged, Adele, remember to tell me, I’ll definitely get justice for you!”

Adele smiled and agreed.

Ehehe, it felt good to be pampered by her wife!

Celeste, on the other hand, was grinding her teeth beside them, looking like a pitiful puppy who had been neglected by her master.

She wanted to say, “I can also get justice for Master”!

But the reason Celeste was so quiet was because Adele had told her beforehand not to clash with Tang Linlang and the others, it would put her in an awkward position.

Then, Tang Linlang started talking to Adele about her internship task.

Her current strength was actually very strong, she shouldn’t be in the Sequence Five class anymore.

But apart from teaching a lesson to those who gossiped about Adele behind her back, Tang Linlang almost never revealed her true strength.

She was a typical “hidden dragon” in the Eastern style.

Although revealing her strength could obviously get her more support and resources from the academy, compared to better teaching resources, Tang Linlang clearly preferred to stay by Adele’s side, in the same class as her, to protect her.

As for her task, it was easily completed.

Assisting lower-level executors in trying to capture a mixed-blood vampire who had entered the criminal world.

Many vampires settled in the human world, most of them could live a good life relying on their above-average appearance and talent compared to humans.

But there were also a small number of vampires, or mixed-bloods of vampires and humans, who managed to stay out of human supervision and then used their abilities to commit crimes.

They weren’t actually that strong, even ordinary police forces could subdue them without the need for executors.

But just in case, when they went to arrest these criminals, in addition to the normal police force, there would also be ordinary level executors following, and sometimes even interns would have the opportunity to assist and observe the scene.

There was almost no danger, it was mainly to strengthen their mental fortitude.

Adele actually quite liked this kind of task, it felt like acting in a movie, like those police and gangster movies, with chases, gunfights, car chases…

But Tang Linlang’s subsequent description shattered Adele’s naive fantasies.

According to her, this task was extremely boring.

There wouldn’t be any “FBI, open the door!”

Nor would there be any intense and exciting scenes of encirclement or hand-to-hand combat.

There was only plainclothes surveillance, narrowing down the target area, confirming the target’s location.

Then “Hello, food delivery,” and it was quickly over, the suspect apprehended.

As for that mixed-blood vampire, he didn’t even have a chance to react, and Tang Linlang’s internship task was easily completed.

It was considered a very fast completion among this year’s interns.

For the next few days, she could have a good rest, just like a vacation.

After the internship task was over, Adele and the others finally entered the normal rhythm of academy life.

And in their future studies, similar tasks wouldn’t be as grand and easy as the first internship.

Firstly, the academy wouldn’t be as meticulous as a nanny in guiding and protecting every student.

Secondly, students could choose to accept tasks through the school’s official website, and completing tasks would reward them with varying degrees of generous rewards.

In short, they could choose different paths in life, such as becoming a “task master” or a “lazy salted fish.”

The harder they worked, the more they would gain.

Adele, who had transmigrated from a country of involution, naturally chose the path of – being a lazy salted fish!

Tang Linlang and Adele were chatting animatedly, Celeste occasionally chiming in, overall, it was quite peaceful.

But then Adele, as if she had suddenly remembered something, stood up.

“Linlang, Celeste, wait here for a while, I’m going downstairs to pick up Sharon~”

Adele used a declarative tone, not asking for their opinions.

Then, ignoring Tang Linlang’s surprised expression, Adele already ran downstairs with light steps.

Tang Linlang’s expression was very interesting, at least Celeste, who had been feeling suffocated for a while, couldn’t help but laugh when she saw it.

Celeste thought to herself: Do you think you’re special? In Master’s eyes, we’re all the same. Now, it’s your turn to experience what I felt just now~

Hearing Celeste’s mocking laughter, Tang Linlang glared at her.

The two of them locked eyes, Celeste wondering how much punishment she would receive from her Master if she taught this ignorant human girl a lesson now.

Tang Linlang was thinking about what kind of Gu worm she should release from her Gu Realm to get a little revenge on Celeste.

But in the end, neither of them made a move. The鸳鸯hot pot was boiling continuously, Celeste asked the waiter to add more water and ordered another cup of lemon tea, continuing to wait for Adele to bring Sharon up from downstairs.

Sharon was notoriously socially awkward even in the familiar vampire world, let alone in the human world.

So how much psychological pressure did she endure, and how much courage did she muster, to travel from the academy to the mall downstairs?

Adele couldn’t imagine, but she would definitely treat Sharon, who had taken this brave step, more gently.

The “tap, tap” sound of footsteps coming downstairs could be heard.

Sharon, pitifully hiding in the shadows at the entrance of a store downstairs, was trying to shrink her shoulders, making her look even smaller.

If you weren’t careful, you might completely miss her.

But Adele spotted Sharon at a glance, just like when Sharon looked up, her eyes met Adele’s, who was looking at her with full attention.

Sharon was stunned, her slightly parted lips seemed to have many words she wanted to say to Adele.

But she was clumsy with words, unable to speak. Only her footsteps, overcoming her timid instincts, moved towards Adele.

Just like Adele running towards her without hesitation, then embracing her tightly for a long time.

Many passersby looked at them, curious, confused, and envious.

Sharon was already blushing, but Adele still wouldn’t let go, instead, she gently rubbed her nose against Sharon’s ear.

Making the latter’s face flush red, the outline of her ears also seemed to be stained with color.

“A-Adele…”

She called out shyly, burying her face completely in Adele’s shoulder, her neatly trimmed silver-gray short hair trembling slightly.

“I’m here~ Sharon, I haven’t seen you for a long time, I was just a little excited…”

She really missed Sharon, just like what Adele had said when she was hiding next door and heard Adele’s monologue.

When this was confirmed, the emotion in Sharon’s heart, born from her love for Adele, doubled, even multiplied.

This was the victory of the scheming little green tea, Adele!

Not only did she win, but she won twice!

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, come on, Sharon, let’s have some hot pot together. Can you handle spicy food?”

“I-I can eat a little… wait, ‘we’?”

“Yes, I’m with two friends, and we’ve been waiting for you, Sharon.”

Adele said honestly.

She saw that Sharon’s face had turned a bit pale, no longer filled with the previous emotion.

Adele had expected this.

Obviously, Sharon thought she was special.

Like Celeste, like Tang Linlang.

This was the pain that most people had to endure on the path of pursuing love.

And what Adele could do was to try to minimize their sadness, using appropriate methods and means.

For example, with Tang Linlang, Adele chose to deliberately neglect Celeste and talk to Tang Linlang enthusiastically.

As for Sharon…

She gently released her arms from Sharon’s slender waist, and the moment Sharon felt surprised and uneasy, she held Sharon’s slightly cold hands with her warm palms.

She cupped Sharon’s hands in hers, brought them to her lips, gently blew warm air on them, then closed her eyes and planted a deep kiss on them.

“…”

Sharon’s expression instantly softened.

Especially when Adele looked at her with those gentle eyes.

The girl’s heart was already wavering.

“I want to introduce Sharon to my friends.”

She said seriously, giving a half-true, half-false reason.

But Sharon was always willing to fall for this. Rather, as long as Adele coaxed her a little, she would believe even the most obvious lies.

In a way, Sharon was the type who, after becoming a wife, no matter how unfaithful Adele was outside, as long as she came home, Sharon would definitely forgive her.

A very humble character willing to sacrifice for love.

It was precisely because Adele understood this that she felt a little guilty when she lied to Sharon.

If it were anyone else, Adele wouldn’t even feel a shred of guilt.

“…Okay.”

Sharon accepted Adele’s words and nodded slightly.

Adele looked into her eyes, and under the falling snowflakes, she closed the distance between them again.

“T-there are people watching, I’m so shy, Adele…”

Although she pointed out that “there were people watching,” she didn’t reject Adele’s approach, only saying that she was shy.

The meaning behind this was obvious.

So Adele rarely held back, she squinted her eyes and boldly kissed Sharon’s cheek.

Ignoring the gazes of the surrounding pedestrians, ignoring their exclamations.

A beautiful snow lotus bloomed in the bustling city center mall.

But it wasn’t just passersby who witnessed this beautiful scene.

As Adele led the blushing Sharon towards the elevator in the mall, countless eyes were silently watching her in the dark.

No one could detect her presence.

It was the high-risk containment known as the “angel.”

She was trying to understand this world that had changed drastically since she last awoke.

And carrying out her eternal mission.

To find those who were worthy of the “Lord’s” blessing, to guide them on the path to heaven.

Li Lige wasn’t her active choice…

She didn’t have the true qualifications and value.

But now, she thought, she had found a girl who was qualified.

The “angel” slowly closed the countless eyes on her body, her only trace of presence instantly vanishing.

………………

In the hot pot restaurant, Sharon shyly tried to greet Tang Linlang and Celeste.

“H-hello, everyone.”

“Silly girl, there’s no need to bow!” Adele couldn’t help but laugh.

Sharon felt embarrassed, but she also felt the atmosphere relax because of Adele’s laughter.

Tang Linlang didn’t know Sharon, and Sharon didn’t have the arrogance that high-ranking vampires usually displayed.

Therefore, her first impression of Sharon was very good.

She even thought that this shy and introverted girl was very cute, just a tiny bit less cute than Adele, but still very cute.

At least better than Celeste.

As for Celeste, perhaps because of the trauma Hermione had left on her, she didn’t have a good impression of any Sequence Ones.

And Sharon… Dorothy’s number one lackey?

She didn’t match the image Celeste had in mind.

But Celeste was still wary, wondering if Sharon was putting on an act.

And after a brief interaction, she had to believe that absurd thought.

That was, Sharon was truly shy and introverted, not to mention arrogant, it was already good enough that she wasn’t insecure.

Strange, how could a Sequence One family raise such a girl?

At least Celeste imagined that if she had been born into a Sequence One family, as a descendant of a True Ancestor, her arrogance would be no less than Hermione’s, if not even more.

After all, the average moral level of Sequence Ones wasn’t very high.

The Ice Queen, cold as frost and snow, was definitely among the few whose moral level was far above average.

This was Sharon’s first time having dinner and chatting with others like friends.

She was both excited and nervous.

Fortunately, with Adele’s help, she managed to communicate, albeit clumsily.

And she became more and more fluent in her speech.

Celeste saw Adele’s efforts to help Sharon integrate into society.

After struggling for a moment, she decisively gave up on her hostility towards Tang Linlang and helped them overcome Sharon’s social anxiety together.

And they did achieve remarkable results.

This night, Sharon grew a lot.

But all good things must come to an end, if they continued to chat, the hot pot restaurant would be closing soon.

The gazes of the waiters also occasionally glanced at Adele’s table.

After all, they were the last customers in the hot pot restaurant today.

The longer they lingered, the later the waiters would get off work, they might even have to work overtime.

Making people work overtime would inevitably cause resentment.

Adele deeply understood a worker’s desire to get off work on time.

Therefore, she took the initiative to pay the bill, and then left the hot pot restaurant and the mall with the three girls.

Finally, on the street, Tang Linlang was the first to say goodbye to Adele.

She lived nearby.

Originally, Tang Linlang’s plan was to try to delay after having hot pot with Adele, until the academy closed and they couldn’t enter.

Then she could take the opportunity to invite Adele to stay at her house for the night, creating an atmosphere of two girls alone in a room…

Unfortunately, this plan was aborted before it even began.

With Celeste, the big light bulb, and Sharon, the small light bulb, by her side, how could she make a move on Adele?

Next was Celeste, she drove Adele and Sharon back to the academy, and she went to the apartment to check on and take care of Li Lige on behalf of her Master.

So in the end, only Adele and Sharon were left strolling on campus.

Under the silvery moonlight and falling snowflakes, they chatted softly and accompanied each other, listening to the grass bearing its seeds, it was a beautiful scene.

Adele wasn’t impatient.

At this point, she slowed down.

Tonight was Sharon’s night of harvest.

She had already grown so much that she couldn’t fully digest and integrate it into her heart and mind.

If Adele greedily wanted Sharon to grow even more, to make her “become an adult” at this time, it would be like “draining the pond to catch fish.”

So Adele sent Sharon to the downstairs of her dorm building and said goodbye to her calmly.

Ending this date with a kiss that didn’t contain any lust.

Their pink lips parted, like blooming flower buds.

Adele winked mischievously, stepping back step by step, but still looking at Sharon’s dazed eyes.

“Good night, my Sharon.”

“…Good night, my…”

By the time Sharon reacted, Adele was already gone.

After a moment of silence, she added the belated words,

“Good night, my Adele.”

A bittersweet smile appeared on Sharon’s lips as she turned and returned to her dorm.

Tonight, even without Adele’s company next door, she thought she could sleep soundly.

Because her heart was filled with warmth like never before, no longer empty and lonely.

Adele, I will definitely become… the person you expect me to be.

Sharon promised in her heart.

………………

If it weren’t for what happened next, Adele would have thought that she had a perfect night.

But the reality was, not long after she said goodbye to Sharon, she felt strongly that she was being followed.

And the other party was so brazen and undisguised.

When Adele finally couldn’t bear the fear and started running, the other person’s voice came from behind her,

• “Don’t be afraid, child.”

Adele: I don’t believe you!

Chapter 120: As You Command, My Master

Spending the night alone working in this dark and eerie place, any kind of strange occurrence seemed plausible.

Maybe a vampire was secretly lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce and deliver a fatal blow to your neck.

Oh, wait, she was a vampire herself, so never mind.

Terrifying images flashed through Adele’s mind, but then she matched her own image with the vampires in her mind…

Hmm… she suddenly felt that vampires weren’t that scary after all.

Not only were they not scary, they were even kind of cute and clumsy, what was going on!

Besides, she didn’t need to be so paranoid. The receptionist was in her office not far away, wearing headphones and watching dramas.

If Adele felt anxious, she could just poke her head out the door and take a look at her, then go back to her typing work.

What a miserable life…

During a break to get some water from the water dispenser, Adele sent a message to Celeste.

“Pick me up at ten o’clock tonight, I want to have a late-night snack.”

Celeste replied quickly.

“As you command, my Master.”

There would be no other reply.

Adele put away her phone, picked up the full water cup, and returned to her seat.

She had been working for a long time without realizing it. Adele hit the Enter key one last time, stretched, and looked up at the clock on the wall.

9:52, time to get off work!

Her legs were numb.

She never wanted to work again in this lifetime!

She stood up from her seat, smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt, packed her things, and prepared to leave.

The last step was to take her internship logbook to the receptionist and get a red stamp on it.

When she arrived at the receptionist’s office, Adele saw the receptionist crying her eyes out because of a touching scene in the TV drama.

She froze, standing at the door, not knowing whether to enter or retreat.

Fortunately, the receptionist noticed Adele’s presence. She tapped the space bar to pause the drama, then turned to Adele while wiping her tears,

“You’ve finished your work, Miss Adele.”

“…Yes, I’m done, Sister Song Qi.”

Adele had already entered her office and saw the nameplate on her desk, which read “Song Qi.”

An Eastern vampire.

She nodded, took the internship task book that Adele handed her, and stamped it with a red seal.

“Thank you, Sister Song Qi.”

Adele bowed in thanks.

“You’re welcome, you worked hard today.”

“Not at all, goodbye, Sister Song Qi.”

“Mmm, goodbye~”

They exchanged farewells.

Adele thought she would wait for Celeste for a few minutes at the entrance of the building.

But in fact, as soon as she stepped out of the building, she saw a figure wrapped tightly in a trench coat, pacing under the dim streetlights, the only bright color being her beautiful long golden hair.

She noticed Adele’s figure immediately. The weather was getting cold as winter approached. Even though she could wear short sleeves and long pants during the day, she breathed out white air at night.

“Adele!” Celeste called out, running towards Adele from afar without hesitation.

Just like a golden retriever seeing its owner coming home.

The corners of Adele’s lips curled up unconsciously.

She opened her arms and welcomed Celeste’s embrace.

Adele was petite, but it seemed that Celeste saw her as her pillar of life, hugging her tightly.

But her grip was gentle, as if afraid that with a little force, the delicate and beautiful girl in front of her would be hurt.

Celeste buried her face completely in Adele’s shoulder and hair, greedily inhaling her Master’s scent.

She whispered in Adele’s ear, her voice filled with emotion,

“Master…”

“My Master.”

The streets were empty at night, the only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind.

But if the perspective zoomed out, further and further, to an extremely wide angle, you would see that on top of the white cross of a Catholic church in the distance, in the cold and howling north wind, a strange statue of a girl had appeared at some point, with six snow-white wings, completely naked.

She hugged her knees, looking down at the brightly lit city with an emotionless gaze.

And at the two girls walking hand in hand in the distance.

A flurry of snowflakes fell, and the priest of the church rubbed his eyes vigorously.

When he looked again, the white cross on top of the church was already empty, only snowflakes were dancing in the air.

“Winter has come a little early this year.”

Celeste drove the car, turning on the wipers to clear the increasingly heavy snow.

Adele stared at the snowflakes falling outside the window, lost in thought.

After a long while, she murmured,

“Yes, it’s early.”

“But it’s just right, let’s change barbecue to hot pot tonight.”

“Cheers to the first snow of winter!”

“As you command, my Master~”

………………

The appearance of the “angel” was a much bigger deal for the Enforcement Bureau than the witch.

Li Lige’s life or death instantly became less important in comparison.

According to the reports from Wen Weiran and the others, the “angel” didn’t cause any casualties, but the target of their mission, the witch Li Lige, was seriously injured.

This was confirmed by several other ability users, while Wen Weiran stood there silently, her hands behind her back.

The deputy director of the Enforcement Bureau scanned their faces, the young men and women all standing tall and straight.

“Good job, the Bureau will reward you for your bravery.”

“That’s all for today, you can all go back and rest, Wen Weiran, stay.”

Wen Weiran pursed her lips, her indifferent expression unchanged.

The other experienced ability users, or rather, the executors of the Dongdu Bureau, looked at their junior with envious eyes. She hadn’t even graduated yet, but she was already making a name for herself in the Bureau.

But her abilities were indeed powerful, and she was a piece of uncut jade worth polishing.

Everyone left the office, leaving only the deputy director and Wen Weiran.

Although the deputy director was also a woman, she was tall and muscular. Generally speaking, when the word “muscular” was used to describe someone, you could probably imagine what the deputy director looked like.

She had short hair, and because of her well-trained muscles, her uniform was tight, and she wasn’t wearing a skirt, but normal uniform pants.

In contrast, Wen Weiran still had a childish look, like she hadn’t left school yet.

But no one dared to underestimate her.

Even the deputy director’s attitude towards Wen Weiran was much gentler, her eyes full of appreciation and praise for the younger generation.

But today was different. Apart from appreciation, there was also a hint of worry in the deputy director’s eyes.

She came to Wen Weiran’s side, reached out, and patted her shoulder gently.

Then she said something strange,

“She was a mission prepared for you.”

But Wen Weiran understood perfectly.

The existence of the Vengeance Witch, Li Lige, according to the original plan, should have been eliminated by Wen Weiran.

That way, Wen Weiran could truly transform, become the real “sword of humanity,” and fulfill the expectations of the human higher-ups.

It was for this reason that Wen Weiran could temporarily put aside her studies at Cromwell Academy, and the petty squabbles between the student council and the Black Feather Society had nothing to do with her.

The Enforcement Bureau entrusted this responsibility to her, giving her absolute command over this mission.

Even the senior agents in the Enforcement Bureau had to obey her orders, including those whose abilities surpassed Wen Weiran’s.

But in the end, it was obvious that Wen Weiran’s indecisiveness disappointed the Enforcement Bureau.

However, the appearance of the “angel” was a very special and unexpected event.

Therefore, Wen Weiran’s only responsibility was that she didn’t contain and control the witchified Li Lige in advance, and kill her if necessary.

But fortunately, Wen Weiran’s decision not to provoke Li Lige and force her to witchify in the city center might have been an unexpectedly correct decision.

Although this might not have been her intention, she just didn’t want to attack her senior.

But what mattered was the result, not the process.

Because the Enforcement Bureau couldn’t be sure if the “angel” would have appeared like today under those circumstances.

If it did, then this mission might have turned into the most disastrous incident in the city center in the past decade.

If the “angel” indiscriminately purified the city, the resulting losses and impact would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the place where she actually appeared was the Enforcement Bureau’s prison on the outskirts of the city, ensuring that there weren’t many casualties and that ordinary people weren’t involved.

Now, the trouble of the “angel” was no longer the responsibility of the Enforcement Bureau, and they couldn’t help with that level of confrontation.

So there was only one last task left, to find Li Lige, who was said to be fatally injured but had mysteriously disappeared in Dongdu.

And regarding this task, the deputy director of the Dongdu Enforcement Bureau was still willing to give Wen Weiran a second chance.

“Weiran, don’t disappoint me this time.”

“You have a bright future, I made the same mistake as you when I was young.”

“But later, I finally stopped being weak, and I experienced the power of being unyielding. This is a test we must go through in the process of becoming stronger.”

“Strength comes from the spirit, you haven’t forgotten this, have you?”

A rare expression appeared on Wen Weiran’s face.

She took a deep breath and nodded.

“No.”

“That’s good, I hope you can gain some insights and progress from this mission.”

“Sometimes, overthinking and hesitation will only dull your sword.”

Although Wen Weiran’s blade was already sharp enough to make even the deputy director wary, no force wouldn’t want their trump card to be stronger.

Wen Weiran was undoubtedly the strongest student in the history of Cromwell Academy, and Cromwell Academy’s status among the academies that taught both vampires and humans was equivalent to that of Tsinghua University and Peking University compared to ordinary universities.

Therefore, it was conceivable that to stand out in such a talented academy, Wen Weiran was truly exceptional.

Her significance to the entire Dongdu, to the entire human race, was immense.

That’s why people hoped that she would become the sword of humanity in the near future.

Among the new generation, Wen Weiran was truly in a league of her own. Perhaps in ten or twenty years, she would also be covered in glory, and it wasn’t impossible for her to become a future sword saint.

Among the new generation of vampires, it was Dorothy and Hermione who were leading the way.

Also at Cromwell Academy, how did a little lamb like Adele end up among a group of lions?

The deputy director reassigned the task of capturing Li Lige to Wen Weiran.

And Wen Weiran had no room to refuse.

This task clung to her like a curse.

Perhaps people were meant to be forced to do things they didn’t want to do.

Wen Weiran didn’t have many emotions, she was relatively indifferent and cold-blooded.

But precisely because of this, the little bit of emotion she had in her life became especially important.

As her senior, Li Lige had helped her a lot.

Li Lige was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She looked like a mature and unapproachable woman on the surface, but in reality, she was very helpful and kind-hearted. Adele should know this very well.

Wen Weiran was used to doing everything herself, not relying on anyone else’s help.

The result was that Li Lige helped her a lot.

This woman seemed to be unable to read the atmosphere or other people’s expressions.

Li Lige used to be very confused, was there something wrong with this junior? The more she helped her, the colder and more sullen Wen Weiran’s expression became.

She was just a little kid, but she was so arrogant.

But after complaining, Li Lige still did her best to help Wen Weiran.

Offering her warmth… to Wen Weiran’s cold face, yes, cold face.

Li Lige was also the first to discover Wen Weiran’s talent.

Without Li Lige, this Bole, Wen Weiran, this precious gem, would have remained hidden for a while longer.

It was precisely because of Li Lige’s help, recruiting her into the student council, cultivating her diligently, finding her excellent teachers and professors in the academy, and asking them to take a look at Wen Weiran, this promising seedling, that her talent was finally recognized.

If at first it was Li Lige who begged the professors in the academy to teach Wen Weiran a lesson, then later, Wen Weiran became a sought-after talent in the academy, almost every teacher was proud to have taught her.

Li Lige silently did all this, then smiled and left.

Because she knew that she couldn’t help Wen Weiran anymore in the future.

And she didn’t ask for anything in return, she didn’t need Wen Weiran to repay her.

When she graduated, she didn’t hesitate to hand over her position as president to Wen Weiran.

At that time, Wen Weiran wasn’t widely recognized in the student council. There were others who were more prestigious and popular, although their strength might be slightly inferior, but…

There were no buts, because Li Lige chose Wen Weiran, she didn’t even want to go through the election process.

At first, many people didn’t understand this and didn’t think that Wen Weiran’s joining would bring anything to the student council.

But the result was that more and more people were proven wrong. Wen Weiran gradually dyed the student council with her own colors, cold, powerful, and authoritative.

The Black Feather Society’s momentum was strong only because their leader was better at using public opinion to wage war.

But in reality, if they really clashed, those vampires, whose bonds were based on interests and dirty secrets, wouldn’t be a match for the student council.

Li Lige did so much for Wen Weiran, not for any personal gain, but just out of kindness and fairness.

Even a cold stone should have been warmed up after such a long time.

Wen Weiran thought she was decisive, never frowning when dealing with any enemy.

It wasn’t until she met the witchified Li Lige that she realized she was wrong.

She let Li Lige go again and again.

Even in today’s battle, her sword only pierced the non-vital parts of Li Lige’s body.

Otherwise, Li Lige would never have had the chance to escape from that prison.

So did this count as repaying her past kindness?

Wen Weiran walked out of the Enforcement Bureau and looked up at the heavy snow falling from the sky.

This world used to be simple in her eyes, all she needed was her rapier to pierce through everything.

But now, it had become complicated.

For the first time, Wen Weiran felt lost about her sword.

………………

At the same time, in a famous hot pot restaurant in Dongdu.

Adele was worried that she had accidentally ordered too many side dishes, and their stomachs clearly couldn’t handle it.

She didn’t want her Celeste to go home with a bloated tummy.

Although the fact that she was the one who “made her belly big” (referring to ordering too much food) gave Adele a sense of accomplishment.

“How about… I try calling someone over?”

Adele tentatively made her suggestion.

It seemed that she had suddenly forgotten her Master identity at this moment, and was interacting with Celeste more like a close friend.

Celeste blinked her emerald green eyes.

“Master can do as she pleases.”

“Then I’ll call Hermione?”

Adele looked at Celeste seriously, her own expression a bit mischievous.

Celeste’s face instantly turned ugly, so much so that even the guests at the next table started to shrink back.

This made them wonder if the pink-eyed girl at the next table had cheated on the blonde girl in front of her.

In fact… it might be even more serious than cheating.

In Celeste’s heart, Hermione was still her mortal enemy.

As for her Master being close to Hermione… she couldn’t stop it, nor did she have the ability to do so.

But because of this, Celeste wanted to prove herself even more, she wanted to surpass Hermione one day.

Although this was just a pipe dream considering their bloodlines.

“Oh, I’m just kidding, as your Master, can’t I even make a joke?”

“Silly girl, I’m having hot pot with you!”

“The first snow of winter, I, Adele, am sitting face to face with you, Celeste, eating hot pot and singing… well, let’s forget about singing, since we’re not in a private room.”

“Anyway, I’m accompanying you, stupid dog, do you understand?”

Celeste’s expression gradually softened, and finally, her eyes reddened, and she nodded sullenly.

“Mmm…”

Adele jumped up and patted her head.

Even though she was a powerful Sequence Two, Celeste’s reaction at this moment was incredibly cute.

And Celeste willingly endured it, after all, it didn’t hurt at all.

“Then I’ll call someone else, is Tang Linlang okay?”

“…No problem.”

Compared to Hermione, Tang Linlang was much friendlier.

And she even gave her Master that priceless treasure, a spatial ring, which was too advanced for students like them.

Many things in the magic world couldn’t be measured by the standards of the mundane world.

Generally, “Leviathan” (the authority that governed both worlds) only allowed internal transactions, the mundane world was separate from the magic world.

Their common equivalents were also different. The common equivalent in the mundane world was currency, the currencies of various countries, while the magic world, which belonged to the mystical side, preferred bartering.

For example, to buy a magic staff, you didn’t need money, but alchemy materials or potions of equal value.

Of course, you could also use a can of tuna cat food.

As long as you knew a gluttonous and cute little cat.

But occasionally, there were exceptions.

At this time, as long as the human with the connections could offer a high enough price, a price that was tempting enough, they could trade with mages for the items they wanted.

However, this was actually illegal, and they had to be very careful not to be caught by Leviathan.

Fortunately, Tang Linlang had the identity of a descendant of a vampire hunter, so even if she was discovered doing this kind of transaction, the higher-ups would most likely turn a blind eye.

Adele called Tang Linlang, inviting her to enjoy “First Snow” hot pot.

Here, “First Snow” referred to the first snow of winter.

As for “First Snow,” the little minx cat, with her sensitive tongue, she would probably never be able to enjoy the delicacy of hot pot in this lifetime.

But in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, there was a dish called “bobo chicken,” a kind of cold skewers. Since this world was basically based on the world before Adele transmigrated, there must be a similar dish here.

If there was a chance, Adele would definitely take First Snow to try it.

Tang Linlang’s surprise was almost palpable through the phone speaker.

Celeste just focused on drinking her lemon tea as a substitute for alcohol.

And Adele, feeling that it wasn’t lively enough, called Sharon.

This really startled Sharon, who was staying at home.

But when she heard Adele’s invitation, her fragile little heart suddenly started beating violently.

At the same time, Sharon looked at herself in the mirror, her neat silver-gray short hair, her eyebrows that she had tried to trim with an eyebrow razor, her thin lips with lipstick on.

She had taken off her bulky and concealing clothes and pants, and was wearing a dress that Sharon would never have imagined herself wearing before.

She had made an unprecedented change.

But if it was just for self-entertainment, it would be meaningless.

So she saw Adele’s sudden invitation as an opportunity given to her by heaven to take that most important and bravest first step.

Although she was still scared and cowardly, if she even retreated from this step and gave up, Sharon would forever regret her decision today.

Because it meant that she would also lose Adele forever.

Cowards, like cowards, were not qualified to love.

Sharon took a deep breath, exhaled, and finally put on a warm trench coat, covering the dress she really wanted Adele to see.

She resolutely walked out of the door.

The moment she opened the apartment door, Sharon realized how beautiful the night outside was.

It was completely different from what she saw through the window when she was “hiding in her little world.”

Sharon immersed herself in this romantic snowy scenery.

But she didn’t realize that she had also become a part of this beautiful night.

Chapter 119: The Six Wings Behind Her

Li Lige drank the Holy Healing Potion and was indeed saved from the brink of death.

Although her body was still weak, her magic power visibly filled the fatal wounds that could have taken her life.

All that remained were the wounds and pain that didn’t have enough magic power to heal and repair.

Li Lige’s face was still pale, but compared to before, there was a bit more life in it.

And what she needed next was a quiet environment and some time to recuperate.

After a few days, she would be able to regain her former health and strength.

Adele did save her life.

But Adele herself had become a “noob.”

In short: she was screwed.

On the one hand, the potion she had First Snow steal from the principal was used up, and she had basically made an enemy of the principal.

Adding the staff from before, new grudges and old debts, it wasn’t that she wouldn’t settle them, it was just not the right time yet.

On the other hand, Li Lige was alive, so she couldn’t give the witch’s core to Adele and let her become a witch too.

Adele had given up on her first cheat in life.

If possible, she didn’t want to be so great, so selfless.

So generous that she wanted to cry.

That was the “Holy Healing Potion”…

But Li Lige, because of their time together that day, was no longer just a symbol, no longer just an experience pack to her.

She was a living person who had formed a bond with Adele.

Just this short time together, Li Lige’s image in Adele’s heart had undergone a qualitative change.

Adele was greedy, but not driven by profit, promiscuous, but cherished every relationship.

You could find many contradictions in her.

But in the end, she would always surprise you, she would only do what she thought was right.

Stubbornly unlike the opportunistic girl she seemed to be.

She should have been using everyone for her own gain, ruthless like a bald eagle, climbing up one high branch after another, then abandoning them after using them, until she reached the top.

But the reality was that her heart softened much faster than her mouth.

As for whether she would regret it in the future, she didn’t care.

Adele just needed to not regret it now.

She didn’t come here alone to wait for Li Lige.

Celeste was also helping her.

Otherwise, even if she saved Li Lige with the Holy Healing Potion, she wouldn’t be able to hide her.

At this time, Celeste, who was searching for Li Lige in another direction, received Adele’s message and immediately drove towards the location Adele sent her.

Then, while observing their surroundings, the two of them carried Li Lige into the back seat of the car.

What was the crime for harboring a fugitive?

But Adele had no time to worry about these things now.

She asked Celeste to drive to the house where they had been intimate.

Celeste pursed her lips and finally nodded.

Adele could actually sense the change in Celeste’s mood through the magic patterns.

Obviously, Celeste wouldn’t hesitate to go anywhere else, but if it was the house where she and her Master had so many memories…

Letting an outsider like Li Lige live there…

Even if Celeste was an absolutely loyal subordinate, she would inevitably feel a little jealous.

Adele shook her head slightly, but she didn’t plan to ignore Celeste’s feelings.

She sat in the passenger seat and reached out to squeeze Celeste’s exposed thigh. Celeste was dressed very casually today, a short-sleeved printed shirt and ripped jeans, paired with her long, wavy golden hair, she looked like a tourist on vacation in Hawaii.

And the spot Adele touched was right where the hole in Celeste’s jeans was.

“Don’t worry, silly girl, a house is just a house, the important thing is the people.”

“If one day Celeste’s figure no longer appears in that house, it wouldn’t have any value to me.”

Adele’s voice was gentle, making Celeste’s heart itch, and her previous jealousy instantly melted away.

But before she could indulge in this gentleness for a moment, Adele’s tone suddenly changed.

“Also, mend those holes in your jeans, you can only be sexy for me, understand!?”

Celeste’s heart skipped a beat.

“…Yes! Master.”

Adele snorted softly, her hand continuing to knead the girl’s fair thigh.

She didn’t even care if it might affect Celeste’s driving.

Or maybe she trusted Celeste.

Celeste indeed lived up to her trust and expectation. While enjoying her Master’s “torment,” she slowed down the car and finally drove smoothly to their destination.

When they got out of the car, Celeste’s legs felt a little weak for some reason. She held onto the car door for a few seconds before she and Adele worked together to help Li Lige out of the back seat.

Then they took the elevator in the underground parking lot directly to the high-rise apartment.

Because of the Holy Healing Potion, Li Lige was out of danger, but she clearly hadn’t fully recovered, and her physical strength was still lacking.

It was visible to the naked eye that her wrists, ankles, and other joints had been pierced by some sharp weapon.

As the saying went, “It takes a hundred days to heal bones and tendons.” Li Lige, as an ability user, had a stronger recovery ability, but it would probably still take three or four days of bed rest for her body to fully heal.

These were all non-fatal injuries, including those to her lungs and kidneys. The main purpose was to incapacitate her so she could be arrested, at least that way she could still live.

This was the last thing Wen Weiran could do for Senior Li Lige.

But she could only control herself, not others.

And in that critical situation, Li Lige had completely witchified, and it was very likely that she would cause an even bigger disaster, so almost no one held back.

This led to Li Lige’s heart suffering a fatal injury.

If she hadn’t luckily encountered Adele, she probably wouldn’t have survived.

But Li Lige didn’t think it was luck.

Because the Holy Healing Potion wasn’t something you could just take out and carry around…

Therefore, there was only one possibility.

Adele had anticipated her death, she had sensed something.

Li Lige’s eyes were dull, but her mind was still working.

She was helped into the room by the two girls. Adele stayed by her side to guard and take care of her.

Celeste took the initiative to deal with the traces they left along the way, including the bloodstains on the road and the surveillance footage in the underground parking lot and elevator.

Perhaps this was the trouble of the intelligent age.

After cleaning up the bloodstains, Celeste tried to use the hacking techniques she had learned in the academy to hack into the residential complex’s network system and delete the surveillance footage related to Li Lige.

The reason she learned these wasn’t out of her own volition, but because of her family’s requirements.

Obviously, the family of a Sequence Two was more aware of potential dangers, afraid of producing incompetent descendants and causing their class to decline, both in the vampire world and the human world.

Adele didn’t even know that Celeste had this ability.

If she knew, she would definitely ask Celeste to set up a private server for her! To fulfill her dream of one-shotting enemies in games.

But, well, high technology shouldn’t be used for this kind of thing!

And hacking had nothing to do with setting up private game servers…

Her vision was too narrow.

Soon, Celeste did everything she could, cleaning up the traces and deleting the surveillance footage.

She finally let out a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and returned to her Master Adele.

But what dissatisfied her was that the black-haired Easterner was actually lying on the double bed that only she and her Master could sleep in.

And she was sleeping soundly!

She didn’t know Li Lige’s background, nor did she know how her Master met her.

For now, it was her loyalty and obedience to her Master that supported Celeste in doing so much for Li Lige.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t care about Li Lige’s life or death.

Just like two parallel lines living in their own worlds, without Adele’s intervention, they would never intersect.

“She doesn’t look that bad.”

Celeste muttered.

Adele thought to herself, that’s because you didn’t see my Holy Healing Potion.

That green bottle, full of life force, was gone just like that!

Seeing that her Master didn’t respond, Celeste could only ask in a different way, her tone becoming even more submissive.

“How long does she need to stay here, my Master?”

Li Lige’s eyelids twitched, she was actually pretending to be asleep.

After experiencing that kind of thing, and with the treatment of the Holy Healing Potion, she wouldn’t be so sleepy that she would fall asleep the moment she touched the bed.

Li Lige was completely confused about Celeste calling Adele “Master.”

Just how many secrets about Adele did she not know?

Why would this seemingly noble vampire call her Master?

And why did she have the Holy Healing Potion?

And why did she appear in front of her and save her at such a coincidental time?

Li Lige’s only guess was that Adele’s identity was definitely far more than she imagined.

She must have a very powerful network and a strong background.

To be able to find out her whereabouts and provide her with that potion.

Adele’s image in Li Lige’s heart was infinitely elevated.

She even suspected that Adele was actually a Sequence One “pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger,” she might be incredibly powerful, to the point of deceiving Li Lige’s eyes.

And she was also very good at hiding her strength, even when facing Edith, almost being violated, she was still unwilling to reveal her true identity and strength.

Adele: How come I don’t know I’m so awesome?

“Until she recovers, I guess. After that, I’ll have to trouble you, Celeste, to find someone to take care of her.”

“…Yes.”

“Li Lige, you rest well.”

Adele’s gentle comfort made Li Lige’s heart flutter.

But when she heard Adele’s next words, she realized that she was happy too soon.

“Try to recover quickly, go to work in a factory, and pay me back for the potion.”

“…”

Adele didn’t care if Li Lige was asleep or not, she just said what she wanted to say.

One thing at a time, saving Li Lige was to repay the favor she owed for helping Adele take revenge on Edith last time, but the potion hadn’t been paid for yet.

Li Lige would have to work for Adele for a while before Adele would let her go.

Celeste nodded.

But of course, she wouldn’t personally take care of Li Lige, the latter obviously didn’t have that privilege.

She would arrange for a doctor and nurses to develop a treatment plan for Li Lige.

Adele left the room, and Celeste followed closely behind, closing the door.

Li Lige, feeling the surroundings become quiet, opened her purple eyes, which had regained their luster.

This was the real Li Lige. Her purple eyes were different from Edith’s. One should be sparkling with gold under the sunlight, while the other was a poisonous pistil in the dark night.

She tried to get out of bed, feeling her remaining strength.

Her witchified body actually gave her far greater strength than before.

She felt that she could reach an even more powerful realm.

But what kind of terrible things would happen if she stepped into that realm, Li Lige, as a former executor, knew all too well.

She had personally witnessed a witch’s outburst, not just the spread of madness that infected an entire town, people on the streets started eating like crazy, when they ate up everything around them, they would gnaw on wood, eat clothes, even living people…

And the witch herself also turned into an indescribable monster, her body started to grow and split, one after another mouth with only teeth and tongues emerged from her body.

At that time, it was no longer the witch controlling the power, but her adapting to this primal force.

Her body adapted to the power, becoming the shape that the witch’s power desired.

It was a scene comparable to hell.

In fact, she almost stepped into that realm today.

What kind of ugly monster would Li Lige have become then? Would the executors around her start killing each other because they were infected by her “wrath” original sin?

Li Lige didn’t even dare to think about it.

All she wanted was to avenge her dead teammates, to take revenge on that person.

She never wanted to do anything extra beyond that.

But there was something called “justice” that hindered her.

Hehe, justice.

In the past, when Li Lige was still naive, she was willing to believe in this word.

But now, she only believed in herself, believed that blood revenge was the greatest justice.

If it weren’t for the “angel’s” help, she could only take that desperate gamble.

But actually, Li Lige didn’t know if it could really be considered help.

The “angel” wasn’t someone she could communicate with.

She seemed like a higher dimensional being, spreading death after being awakened.

Li Lige couldn’t understand why the angel didn’t kill her along with the others.

She even followed Li Lige to the human world.

She usually hid in the void, and Li Lige couldn’t control her.

She seemed to be silently observing this world that was thousands of years away from the era she was born in, in a way that humans couldn’t imagine.

Including her appearance today, it was something Li Lige had never expected.

But when she felt the angel’s presence slowly emerging behind her, Li Lige took the opportunity to borrow her power.

Without the angel, she wouldn’t be able to achieve her goal.

She went all the way down to the deepest level of the prison and faced that high-ranking scum.

He was surprisingly calm, and his expression when he saw the angel was like that of a pilgrim.

Showing unprecedented emotion and shock.

At that moment, Li Lige even wondered if she had done something wrong, letting this scum see the angel as he wished.

However, before she could regret it, the “angel” closed her eyes, as if she had seen what she wanted.

The next moment, inextinguishable karmic fire erupted from the scum’s body.

He was eventually burned to ashes in agony.

The “angel” also completely faded away in the air during this process, disappearing once again.

Not being able to personally take revenge might be a small regret for Li Lige.

But seeing the culprit who had killed two exploration teams die such a painful death, Li Lige’s heart, filled with hatred, finally felt unprecedented satisfaction.

This was also the best consolation for Qi Li and the others.

“…”

Slowly retracting her memories, Li Lige took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Then, she started talking to herself.

“Are you still there, angel?”

“Are you still by my side?”

“If you can understand my words, I want to say…”

Li Lige suddenly choked up.

After a while, she shook her head, wondering what kind of stupid thing she was doing.

………………

“Master, who is she?”

At this moment, Celeste had a jacket tied around her waist, just covering the hole in her jeans.

Her Master’s possessiveness was evident.

“A washed-up senior who’s putting on a brave front.”

“Washed-up… senior?”

“Anyway, don’t get too involved with her, she’s a jinx.”

Adele had used a precious potion for her, couldn’t she complain a little behind her back?

“Precious” – referring to tricking the pure and innocent little First Snow into stealing it from the principal for free.

“But Master, you…”

Celeste wanted to say, Master, you know she’s a jinx, but you’re still so close to her, you even saved her.

“I’m already unlucky enough, what does it matter if I add another unlucky person?”

“Drive faster, I still have to go back to work, you think it’s my fault that I’m so unlucky!”

“…”

Celeste didn’t dare to speak anymore, she could hear that her Master was in a bad mood.

And she could tell that it was because she had changed her Master’s task.

“Um, Master… how about I enter the archives for you?”

Adele looked up at her from the passenger seat.

The anger in her heart dissipated.

“…No need.”

She said arrogantly.

“You should finish your task first.”

Because only then would Celeste have more time to accompany her.

But Adele wouldn’t say this little thought out loud.

“Has there been any leads on that beastman?” she then asked.

“We’re still investigating.”

“Won’t your companions have any objections to you disappearing for so long?”

Celeste smiled wryly.

“Of course they have objections.”

“But Master will always be my top priority, I don’t care about anyone else.”

Adele coughed unnaturally and looked out the window.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion or because of the sunlight, but her cheeks seemed a little red.

“You can care a little bit, it’s called emotional intelligence. But as for putting me first in your heart…”

“Good girl, you did the right thing.”

If Celeste had a tail, it would definitely be wagging happily at this moment.

This was the only thing she envied about beastmen and beast-eared races.

Half an hour later, after being lectured by the director of the archives management room, Adele, her head lowered, followed the receptionist, dejectedly heading towards her workstation.

Her current feeling could be described in one sentence – although she was very unhappy, she couldn’t find any reason to refute.

Skipping work was skipping work, no matter what she did, even if she saved the world, it was still skipping work.

Fortunately, the receptionist comforted her softly, but this old fritter in the government agency, after finishing her own work, wouldn’t even type a single letter for others.

So in the end, Adele could only receive spiritual support and verbal sympathy. The work she had to do was still there.

She would probably have to work overtime until ten o’clock tonight.

Adele wanted to cry…

She didn’t know if it was her imagination or something, but the moment she turned on the computer screen, a white shadow flashed across the dim screen, along with her own reflection.

Adele was startled and quickly turned around.

But apart from the bookshelves filled with archives, there was nothing else behind her.

Was it… an illusion?

Adele swallowed nervously.

She carefully recalled the white shadow she had just seen.

It was irregularly shaped, blooming like a snowflake.

Or rather… it had six feathery wings.

Chapter 118: From Now On, You Owe Me a Life

According to the law of cat conservation, when Principal Winona was alone at home, without a cat to keep her company, there must be a little Cat-Bird curled up in Adele’s arms, sleeping soundly.

One wondered what complicated emotions Principal Winona would have about this.

Perhaps something like… a mother watching her “daughter” stay out all night, anxious and worried, afraid that her “daughter” had chosen the wrong person and been taken advantage of by some scumbag?

But on the surface, she had to respect her “daughter’s” right to choose her friends, persuade her kindly, and try not to trigger her “daughter’s” rebelliousness.

They were friends who grew up together, how did Winona become the “mom”?

Was this an inevitable consequence of the friendship between a long-lived species and a short-lived species?

Just like humans raising a cat, a cat would be old and frail at the age of ten, would they think that humans, whose appearance didn’t change much, were some kind of immortal elves?

And in Winona and First Snow’s case, it was a Cat-Bird raising a human.

Even though Winona was now thirty years old, First Snow hadn’t even shed her childishness, still playing with her cat life like a naive little girl.

Would First Snow also feel that Winona had grown up too fast, becoming a boring and rigid adult, meow?

At this time, Winona had to take on the responsibility of raising and educating First Snow.

And in this “education,” a proper punishment system had to be introduced.

Principal Winona thought so as she looked at the mess in her alchemy lab.

The woman shook her head helplessly, extended her finger, and used magic without chanting, guiding the alchemy equipment and various potions back to their original positions.

After cleaning up, she would know what that disloyal little cat had stolen for that scumbag today.

Although Winona didn’t know Adele personally, the fact that Adele had First Snow bring her this and that after knowing her for such a short time… it was hard not to think of her as the kind of scumbag who would cheat both money and body.

But for Winona, being cheated out of money didn’t matter. That staff did have a certain sentimental value to her, but apart from that, it was just an ordinary beginner’s staff, the so-called “legacy” grade wasn’t that impressive.

As for potions, they were even less important to her. What was truly precious were the formulas and a few ancient potions with missing formulas, which were becoming increasingly rare.

But if Winona found out that First Snow had been… taken advantage of…

Winona’s gaze became as cold as a frozen lake in winter, without a trace of warmth.

Adele’s fate would probably be very miserable.

………………

Early the next morning, First Snow woke up early, stretching.

The cute little Cat-Bird stretched her front paws forward, raised her butt high, and her hind legs twitched. Only then did she feel like her whole body was stretched.

In yoga, this seemed to be called “Cat-Cow Pose.”

After doing her “yoga,” First Snow was still not satisfied. She extended her sharp claws, looking for something to sharpen them on.

Her gaze swept over Adele, the bed board, the desk, the chairs…

Finally, she chose Adele’s carpet!

Scratch, scratch, scratch!

Now that her claws were sharpened, two of the three most important things in a kitten’s daily life, sleeping and sharpening claws, were done.

Only the last one remained!

So she nimbly jumped to Adele’s side, who was still sleeping like a pig, and sat there quietly, thinking about how to wake Adele up and get her to refill her food bowl.

First Snow was very good at this, unlike many house cats that would run around and make noise in the middle of the night, even mercilessly stepping on their owners’ stomachs.

Have you ever experienced the fear of being crushed by a twenty-pound orange tabby…

After thinking about it, First Snow transformed into her cat-girl form, still with a childish appearance. Her long, silver hair covered her slightly budding chest, and her waistline was incredibly slender and graceful.

She knelt in front of Adele and tried to push Adele’s body with her hand.

Adele’s breathing quickened slightly in her sleep.

Seeing that it was effective, First Snow leaned closer to Adele’s face, stunned for a moment. She couldn’t help but be attracted by Adele’s beauty and wanted to get closer…

But First Snow quickly came back to her senses, blushing and shaking her head. Following her initial plan, she whispered in Adele’s ear,

“Sister, Adele… First Snow is hungry, meow.”

She was afraid of being disliked by Adele, so she never thought about stealing cat food.

Even though she could do it herself, feed herself.

But this didn’t seem to be the case with Principal Winona.

Perhaps when their relationship was very close, there were more instances of mutual offense than politeness.

Not to mention that First Snow was actually at the turning point from kittenhood to adolescence.

And at this critical juncture, Adele entered her life.

So it was natural for her to have special feelings for Adele, and these feelings made her feel restrained around Adele.

“Mmm… I am a little hungry.”

“First Snow, can you make breakfast?”

Adele mumbled in her half-asleep state, smacking her lips.

“…?”

What a reversal of roles.

The little kitten was speechless.

But what First Snow wanted to say was that she was hungry, meow…

Helplessly, she pushed Adele’s arm again.

“First Snow hungry, food, meow~”

“Sleep a little longer, just a little while…”

First Snow touched her stomach, her mouth pouting, thinking to herself, just endure it for a little longer, meow.

Then, an hour passed.

Adele finally got out of bed in a hurry.

Oh my god, oh my god! It was almost time for the meeting!

The internship task briefing was at nine o’clock, and it was now eight forty!

It usually took Adele five minutes to wash up and ten minutes to eat, so she only had five minutes left to get there.

It was an emergency.

The poor little cat-girl endured her growling stomach, but Adele ran past her without even looking back.

When she realized that she had been left alone in the room, the poor First Snow’s shoulders trembled slightly, her beautiful light blue eyes covered with a layer of mist.

“Adele… is a big meanie, meow!”

But then she saw Adele, with a piece of bread in her mouth and messy hair, obviously rushing upstairs, staring at her with a “…?” expression.

Adele thought to herself that she had even spared two minutes out of her last five minutes to refill the food bowl for this silly kitten.

And she was still called a “big meanie.”

Where could she go to reason with this?

She couldn’t speak with the bread in her mouth, so she just acted silently.

She filled First Snow’s cat bowl with cute little flowers with cat food and delicious freeze-dried treats.

Although she didn’t quite understand why First Snow was angry, considering she had brought her the very precious and important potion, Adele also opened a can of fragrant tuna and placed it under the bedroom window sill, First Snow’s designated spot for enjoying food.

Adele finally finished the piece of bread.

Eating cheap bread herself while feeding First Snow expensive canned tuna, and still being called a “big meanie,” Adele couldn’t understand.

But she didn’t have time to explore this issue with First Snow.

She turned to leave, but as she passed First Snow, she couldn’t help but reach out two slender fingers and pinch the girl’s soft and cute cheeks.

The spot where Adele touched First Snow’s face instantly turned red, like red ink spreading on paper.

This became even more obvious when Adele wasn’t satisfied with just pinching her cheeks and even gave First Snow a little peck on the face.

Then, only the “tap, tap” sound of the girl’s flat leather shoes going downstairs could be heard.

First Snow sat there blankly, and after a long time, she covered her flushed cheeks.

Pink steam was also coming out of her head.

“Adele… you dummy, meow…”

She still murmured softly.

But this time, Adele, who was already riding a shared bicycle towards the meeting point, couldn’t hear it.

According to the original plot, Adele should have received her internship task, then been ostracized and left the team.

It seemed that it wasn’t until late in the afternoon, almost evening, that she met Li Lige, who was being chased, and then the story continued.

This meant that Adele still had to honestly and diligently work in the cushy government job Celeste arranged for her for at least the entire morning.

Fortunately, she pedaled the shared bicycle very fast and finally arrived at the address indicated in the email sent by the academy.

There was a dedicated person who took her to the archives management room and gave her a brief training.

The archive management work consisted of four processes: collection, handover, organization, and statistics.

Adele didn’t have to worry about the collection part, what she had to do was the handover, organization, and statistics work.

A young lady with a ponytail, dressed like a typical government employee, became Adele’s instructor.

What made Adele dissatisfied was that the young lady kept smiling, touching Adele’s hair, and treating her like a child in both her words and actions!

“What a cute child.”

“…”

This wasn’t even a compliment!

She was an adult, and she had even topped a mature woman! Could others do that!

“Please follow me.”

“Okay!”

Even though she said that, Adele still obediently followed the order.

Finally, Adele arrived at a dark room.

It was a place where the sun couldn’t reach and wasn’t damp, the perfect place to store archives.

Even though the world had entered the internet age, paper archives still hadn’t been completely replaced.

“Here are the archives of Cromwell Academy, over there are the household registration archives of vampire immigrants, and over there…”

“I’ve already sorted and organized the files for you, and I’ve also compiled the file numbers and catalog.”

Should she have said “for you”… Adele thought to herself, this was supposed to be their job, wasn’t it?

Don’t treat interns like fools…

But complaining was complaining, Adele wouldn’t say it out loud and offend people.

“You just need to enter them into the computer system one by one according to the method I taught you, and then they’ll be archived.”

“You know, it’s hard for us older vampires to keep up with the internet and computers that you young people are used to.”

“You’re a vampire!?”

Adele was surprised.

Even now, she still couldn’t tell the difference between vampires and humans at a glance.

The root cause was probably because her Sequence level was too low.

High-ranking vampires could easily identify other vampires, some could even sense the other person’s strength just by smelling their blood.

As for Adele… it was already good enough that she didn’t faint at the sight of blood.

The receptionist smiled and looked at Adele, nodding slightly.

She didn’t mind that Adele didn’t recognize her as a vampire.

Because it was obvious that the internship task was to handle archives, a job that any human could do.

It was conceivable how weak the girl was, even among vampires, she was probably one of the weakest, counting from the bottom.

Of course, she was the same. If she wasn’t weak and incompetent, she wouldn’t have been assigned to this place after graduation, and then worked here for over a decade or two.

Although she looked young on the surface, the woman was actually over forty years old, approaching fifty.

The average lifespan of a vampire was about 120 years, and the stronger the vampire, the longer their lifespan.

But they still couldn’t be considered a long-lived species.

Anyway, the final task given to Adele was to enter the archives into the computer according to the catalog.

The first thing Adele did after sitting down at the computer was to look for hidden games. This was a habit she had developed since her school days when she had computer classes.

Compared to boring lessons, even Minesweeper and Spider Solitaire seemed interesting.

But she didn’t find any games, instead, she heard a cough reminding her.

Adele had no choice but to focus on her work.

The morning of hard work passed quickly. When Adele left the government agency, her head was spinning, her steps unsteady, and it felt like those words were still flying around in front of her eyes like mosquitoes.

She had a taste of what it would be like to work on an assembly line in a sweatshop after graduation.

But it would probably be even worse, at least she had a small, dark office, with heavy bookshelves full of archives behind her.

Fortunately, she wouldn’t have to go through this terrible experience again this afternoon.

Because Adele was planning to skip work.

Screw the lousy internship task.

She touched her backpack, and when she felt a distinct bulge, Adele felt a little relieved.

Dear Principal, this is the potion your kitten insisted on putting in my bag.

I’m also very troubled by this, I hope you can understand.

If she used this excuse, would Principal Winona forgive her?

Thinking optimistically, maybe?

………………

Li Lige met Wen Weiran again.

Unlike yesterday, this time, she drew her “Gungnir.”

Gungnir, the legendary weapon of Odin, the Norse god, was a spear made from the branch of the World Tree.

But Wen Weiran’s weapon was clearly a one-handed rapier.

But it didn’t matter what she called her weapon, as long as she liked it, right?

And the name of the rapier also revealed Wen Weiran’s abilities.

The authority of “unerring accuracy” and “piercing.”

No one could dodge her attacks, and all the opponent’s weaknesses would be exposed before Wen Weiran’s eyes.

If Adele saw this scene, she would definitely scream.

• Holy crap, Blade Waltz!

Of course, it wouldn’t be wrong to think of Wen Weiran as Fiora.

“If you take another step forward, I can’t guarantee the integrity of your body, Senior.”

As Wen Weiran’s words fell, several human ability users also appeared, facing Li Lige, who was dressed in a black dress as if attending a funeral. Their eyes showed different emotions.

Because they knew very well that what Li Lige was going to attend was her own funeral.

And they were Li Lige’s pallbearers.

Li Lige ignored Wen Weiran’s words and continued to walk forward.

“Li Lige, stop.”

“The crimes of others will be judged by justice.”

“Li Lige, give up, come back with us now, we have a way to reverse your witchification, at least we can try.”

• “The virtue of humanity hasn’t completely left you.”

A woman dressed like a nun, her eyes covered with a black band, said so with her hands clasped in prayer, her voice as beautiful as a nightingale’s.

Wen Weiran continued, her words serious and sincere.

“If it’s you, I believe you can do it.”

Wen Weiran rarely tried to persuade people, she was good at breaking, occasionally severing.

The further Li Lige walked, the clearer she became in Wen Weiran’s eyes. Her forehead, shoulders, heart, legs… all covered in holes, oozing blood.

The mastermind behind the deaths of Li Lige’s teammates in that ancient ruin had been apprehended, and his trial would begin soon.

Justice might be late, but it had arrived.

But Li Lige was still determined to go her own way.

The breeze lifted her black hair, revealing her purple eyes, faintly glowing.

“Is it because I don’t act like a witch? Like them, spreading plague-like emotions, like them, obsessed and perfect.”

“So you think I can still be saved, you want to imprison me like a criminal, make me your lab rat?”

“Li Lige, we won’t…”

Before Wen Weiran could finish, the nun-like ability user suddenly opened her mouth wide, her expression full of shock.

A cross-shaped mark slowly appeared in front of her.

She panicked and interrupted Wen Weiran,

“Demon… the demon walks with the angel, stealing the darkness of heaven…”

A witch’s aura started to emanate from Li Lige, overwhelming.

Wen Weiran’s eyelashes trembled violently. From this moment on, the hideous wounds on Li Lige’s body began to heal and disappear, she became perfect and holy.

Yes… holy.

This seemed like the biggest joke.

But it was the truth, it was a characteristic of every witch.

Witches walked in the world, holy and perfect.

They had the ability to spread plague-like emotions, enough to cause destruction like that of Sodom. (Sodom, a city said to have been destroyed by God for its sins)

If Li Lige had only revealed a fraction of her witch power, it wouldn’t have been enough to make Wen Weiran and the others feel so threatened.

But at the same time, the huge phantom that slowly appeared behind Li Lige made everyone hold their breath, a fear far greater than the witch’s existence spread to everyone’s heart.

It floated in the air, with a pure human eyeball as its main body, its figure covering the sky and the sun, spreading six huge white wings, each wing with three eyeballs observing the world, endless red karmic fire burning behind each feather.

In ancient times, people called it… “angel”!

Li Lige let out a sneer, towards the ability users in front of her, towards the organization behind them.

Towards all the hypocrites who were driven by profit and treated the lives of others as consumables.

She said,

“The mission is complete, as you wished.”

“I’ve brought the angel back.”

Li Lige brought the angel back! And only she survived!

Standing with her back to the huge, indescribable holy being, the woman’s hair was disheveled in the wind, purple flames burning in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said word by word,

“Justice never came.”

“Only revenge is eternal.”

………………

Li Lige was as handsome when she boasted as she was miserable when she was covered in wounds.

Fortunately, she had completed the revenge that had kept her alive.

She personally killed her enemy, avenged Qi Li and the others.

Delayed justice was not justice.

Only revenge was justice.

Her life was fading away bit by bit, every breath made her lungs, pierced by the rapier, tighten in pain, as if they were about to explode.

Li Lige fled to a deserted, dilapidated alley. Her blood-soaked hands had to support her against the wall to prevent her from collapsing.

But she would collapse eventually, she wanted to find a suitable place to bury herself.

And bury her memories.

In that place where she and Qi Li had been, a small park, under that broken swing.

But she couldn’t hold on any longer, her vision was blurring.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears.

But unfortunately, it wasn’t Qi Li whispering to her – the kind of hallucination that often appeared before death, where the person you wanted to see the most would greet you to heaven with gentle words.

Instead, it was a mocking voice that made her want to gather her strength and tell her to shut up.

It came from a certain girl who owed her a beating.

“Well, well, well, isn’t this President Li? It’s been a few days, you look terrible.”

Li Lige struggled to raise her head, lifting her dim, almost extinguished purple eyes.

She saw Adele looking down at her, her tsk-tsking and shaking her head.

The last scene of her life was to be with this annoying girl, what sin had she committed…

But the next moment, the medicine bottle Adele threw made Li Lige’s fading pupils suddenly focus.

Like a final burst of energy, she mustered her last bit of strength and tightly grasped the potion Adele threw.

“Holy Healing Potion, how did you…”

Li Lige’s hoarse voice was like a broken, leaky accordion.

Adele interrupted her, her voice full of heartache.

“Please don’t talk anymore, you’re really going to die.”

“Don’t worry about where it came from, just tell me if you want to drink it or not.”

“But don’t forget, from now on, you owe me a life!”

Chapter 117: The Dazzling Angel

First Snow suddenly saw Adele smiling at her.

Instead of feeling the “friendliness” Adele wanted to convey, she felt a chill down her spine, even though she was already covered in fur. But after transforming into a cat-girl, it was smooth and delicate skin, meow.

She shrugged, unable to stop Adele from approaching.

Just as Adele’s lips were about to touch her cheek, First Snow closed her eyes, half shy, half surprised.

However, Adele’s lips brushed past her cheek.

Finally landing beside her ear.

The smooth, human-like little ear made Adele want to gently suck on it.

Wasn’t it natural for cat-girls to have four ears?

“…”

The fact that it wasn’t a kiss made First Snow feel a little strange.

But she immediately perked up her ears, listening attentively to Adele’s soft whispers.

“Mmm…”

“Oh~”

“I will, meow!”

Hearing First Snow’s promise, Adele nodded with satisfaction.

“That’s right, First Snow is the best.”

“Ehehe~”

First Snow was very happy that she could please Adele by just doing these little things within her capabilities.

As for Adele, she felt a little guilty for tricking the little girl into doing something not so good.

But… if this action could really achieve her desired goal, then this little bit of guilt was better than letting Adele regret it in the future.

First Snow obeyed Adele’s words, transformed into a small Cat-Bird, flapped her wings, and flew out of the dormitory window, heading towards the home she shared with Xiao Wei.

Half an hour later, from First Snow’s little paws, Adele received what she wanted.

………………

During these few days, Li Lige’s life seemed very ordinary.

Even more ordinary than her past self, not at all like a fallen witch.

The woman drank coffee, strolled through the campus filled with memories of her and her friends, walked through the streets where fallen leaves and flower petals had once danced.

She even rented a homestay, checking out in two days.

This evening, as night fell like water, before it got completely dark, she felt a sudden urge to cook a table full of dishes.

The aroma of the food filled the entire homestay.

But it was deserted, only she was there, holding a bowl of fragrant rice, eating with gusto.

A sudden knock on the door came at this moment. She opened the door with her usual smile.

Even without looking through the peephole, she could guess who it was.

And if she looked through the peephole, it would be even more obvious.

Because through the peephole, she could only see a head with smooth black hair… it could only be her.

“Weiran, why do you have the time to freeload off your senior today?”

The door opened, and if you looked straight ahead, you wouldn’t see anyone.

But if you lowered your head, you could see the petite girl looking up at her with a “looking at trash” expression.

However, all she could see was Li Lige’s overly ample… you know.

Height had always been the weakness of this student council president.

In contrast, Li Lige was the kind of person who fit the standard image of a student council president in most people’s minds, a mature woman with long black straight hair and a capable and decent demeanor in all aspects.

But what she lacked in height, she made up for in strength.

Wen Weiran was probably the most talented girl Li Lige had ever met in her many years.

And the human higher-ups were also cultivating and valuing her as the “sword of humanity.”

This was the absolute reason why Li Lige handed over the position of student council president to her.

Otherwise – this arrogant little brat was annoying as hell.

But it was already good enough that she didn’t directly draw her sword and attack Li Lige.

As a witch, Li Lige had already become a foreign race, not human.

Those who saw her should kill her without mercy.

But the defense forces in Dongdu had let her roam free until today.

It was hard to say that Wen Weiran wasn’t involved.

“Is there no place for me?”

After the door opened, Wen Weiran looked at Li Lige’s face and said something that seemed confusing.

But Li Lige’s expression froze slightly.

After a while, she recovered her usual expression and smiled faintly.

“Of course there is, I’ll go get you some rice, you… just sit anywhere.”

There were five chairs at the dining table, and Wen Weiran knew that no matter which chair she sat in, it wouldn’t be appropriate.

But she still sat down, wanting to force her way into that memory.

That memory… that Li Lige couldn’t let go of, with her four companions.

Although this would make Wen Weiran even more annoying, if she could make Senior Li Lige change her mind and accept the organization’s “de-witchification” treatment in this way, then even if Senior Li Lige hated her to the core, it wouldn’t matter.

Wen Weiran looked at the dishes carefully prepared by Li Lige, still steaming hot, filled with a warm, everyday atmosphere.

She, who was always seen as a cold and emotionless ice cube, couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Li Lige brought her a bowl of rice and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

Wen Weiran didn’t say anything, she just took them naturally, and then, together with Li Lige, they silently started eating their dinner.

Li Lige was also quite helpless about this.

But the other party was her junior after all, it wasn’t a big deal to treat her to a meal.

She was just afraid that after eating, Wen Weiran wouldn’t leave and would start chattering about irrelevant things.

That was pointless.

Because from the moment that incident happened, from the moment Li Lige became a witch, there was no room for maneuver.

Wen Weiran, I appreciate your good intentions.

But that’s all.

The dinner ended quietly in an awkward silence.

Although they didn’t say anything, Wen Weiran knew that she had received Li Lige’s response.

She took a deep breath, put down her chopsticks, stood up from her seat, lowered her head, and said in a cold voice,

“Since that’s the case, from tomorrow onwards, we are mortal enemies, Senior Li Lige.”

The petite girl paused, a rare look of regret on her face, then continued,

“This is also the last time I’ll call you senior.”

Li Lige smiled, a mixture of sentimentality and bitterness.

“You didn’t call me senior many times before.”

“Also, this seems a bit different from what you said before, ‘Mercy to foreign races is cruelty to humans,’ Weiran.”

She also used this address that proved their past close relationship.

Even if this annoying and arrogant junior refused to call her senior, Li Lige, as the senior, would still tolerate and take care of her.

Li Lige also seemed very calm.

“To be honest, I don’t mind, even if you draw your sword against me now, I won’t blame you.”

“How long has it been since we last sparred?”

“Two years.” Wen Weiran said the number calmly.

“It’s been two years, that time in the academy was truly memorable.”

“If it’s inconvenient here, you can choose the location.”

But Wen Weiran had already shown that she didn’t want to listen to Li Lige anymore.

She jumped off the chair and turned to leave, ignoring Li Lige’s attempts to stop her.

What a strange scene, the executor Wen Weiran and the witch Li Lige, who was the target of execution.

It was the former who avoided the fight, and Li Lige who sought it.

She was tempting Wen Weiran to draw her sword, but if she did, everything would end today.

Wen Weiran wasn’t arrogant, but her sword could cut through everything, including those cherished memories.

“Wen Weiran.” Li Lige called out her name, as if trying to stop her.

Trying to stop her as a senior.

She didn’t want Wen Weiran to continue being in a difficult position.

Li Lige, as the former student council president, knew how much pressure Wen Weiran, who had let her go time and time again, was facing.

Pressure from the academy, from the organization, from her companions.

For her, for a… fallen witch.

She didn’t think it was worth it.

“You will regret it, Wen Weiran.”

“Every extra day you give a wanted criminal like me is another day of potential crisis and disaster for this world… isn’t it?”

Wen Weiran didn’t turn back, but her words were thought-provoking.

“But this crisis was created by us humans ourselves, wasn’t it?”

“…”

It was always humans themselves who created witches.

That’s why Wen Weiran couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless towards witches.

………………

After Wen Weiran left the homestay, Li Lige silently cleaned up the remaining dishes.

She wrapped the leftovers in plastic wrap and put them in the homestay’s refrigerator.

If she had the chance tomorrow, she would reheat them and eat them.

And if she didn’t have the chance, Li Lige didn’t want them to be thrown away as garbage by the homestay owner.

If they were left in the refrigerator, Li Lige would always remember them, would care about them.

Was this considered the last bit of attachment she had left for her life?

If it was, then her life was truly pathetic.

In the end, there were no close friends or family, no pets or plants to accompany her.

There were only a few dishes she made herself.

In the depths of the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic wrap, silently waiting for her return.

The meaning of her existence was just for a few plates of cold leftovers.

Just thinking about it made her feel that…

It was better to end this kind of life.

Li Lige smiled self-deprecatingly, and the only ones who saw this smile were the dishes in the refrigerator.

Then, with a soft “bang,” the refrigerator door closed. Li Lige looked at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, her gaze fixed on the emptiness, as if she was looking at something, but also as if she wasn’t looking at anything.

After a while, she rubbed her eyes, feeling a sudden wave of drowsiness.

Then, she turned and left the living room, preparing to go back to her bedroom for a short nap.

She didn’t turn off the living room light.

As if she could deceive herself in this way.

Pretending that someone had left the light on for her.

Pretending that she had left a light on for someone who was coming home.

In the not-so-distant past, there was indeed someone who would complain softly about Li Lige not leaving the light on for her when she came home.

Complaining that Li Lige only cared about herself, that she wouldn’t cook or clean at home, that she was a lazy little worm who needed to be taken care of.

No matter how capable and efficient you were outside, it was all fake.

The lazy you at home was the real you.

But because there was someone else to take care of her then, she didn’t feel that time was precious.

It was wasted and squandered.

Those wasted moments were then romanticized in her memories as fragments of happiness.

Even though there were no onions in dinner, Li Lige, who buried her face in the pillow, suddenly felt her eyes welling up.

She started coughing, coughing violently.

There was no one to hand her water, no one to pat her back.

Memories surged forth unexpectedly.

When someone left, at first, you might not even feel anything, just an emptiness in your heart, no pain.

It wasn’t until you found traces she had left behind at home, recalling the days you spent together, that the emptiness in your heart was filled brick by brick.

Only then could you truly understand what it meant to be “heartbroken.”

That girl with short, light golden hair would never return to Li Lige’s side.

Her name was Qi Li, and she was the minister of the logistics department during Li Lige’s tenure as student council president.

But everyone in the student council just called her Li Lige’s personal secretary.

At that time, she was so embarrassed that she chased after those who called her by that nickname, the surrounding laughter seemed to travel through time and space, still faintly echoing in Li Lige’s ears.

After that year’s student council graduated, Qi Li and three other members stayed by Li Lige’s side, forming an exploration team with her.

And all the changes began with their last exploration mission, slowly unfolding.

The so-called exploration team was a completely different position from the defense team stationed in the city, responsible for protecting the city’s peace and eliminating foreign races hiding in the shadows.

Perhaps those who stayed in the city envied the exploration teams who traveled all over the world, seeing beautiful scenery.

And the members of the exploration teams envied those who could stay in big cities, enjoying a comfortable life, without having to live in fear like them every day.

Li Lige, as an outstanding graduate of Cromwell Academy, shouldn’t have been buried in an exploration team.

But because she wanted to fulfill Qi Li’s wish to travel the world, Li Lige chose to join the exploration team, becoming Qi Li’s shield and sword.

After all, Qi Li’s special ability was analytical ability, which was very suitable for exploration teams, while Li Lige was strong in combat.

The five-member team that grew up together crossed mountains and rivers, vast grasslands and snow-capped mountains, and discovered a lot of important information for humanity.

At the same time, another exploration team sent news that they had discovered an ancient ruin.

Ancient ruins were very likely to contain items left over from the glorious magic era, so they were of high importance.

Li Lige and the other four were sent to communicate and cooperate with the other exploration team, to explore the interior of the ruin and find the crucial relic items for the country.

But when they arrived at the location of the ancient ruin, they couldn’t find any trace of the other exploration team.

From this moment on, Li Lige had some doubts.

But Qi Li, who trusted the organization from the bottom of her heart, believed the false information from the mastermind behind the scenes, mistakenly thinking that the ruin was safe, and led the four of them into the ancient ruin.

At first, they were very successful, and even found some precious relic items, everyone was very excited.

However, perhaps it was the legendary intuition, Li Lige tried to stop Qi Li and the others from going deeper into the ruin.

After discussing it, Qi Li and the others decided to listen to Li Lige, who had always been their leader.

But at this time, the mastermind behind the scenes, not satisfied with just these meager gains, deceived Qi Li and the others into going deeper into the ruin.

On one side was the urging and orders from the organization, on the other side was Li Lige’s intuition.

The group had a heated discussion, some decided to retreat, and some decided to move forward.

Qi Li was one of the latter.

But she, who always lacked assertiveness, left the decision to Li Lige.

Looking at Qi Li’s unwilling eyes, Li Lige wavered in her intuition that had been honed through many dangerous situations, coupled with her desire to fulfill Qi Li’s exploration wish, Li Lige finally made the decision… that she would regret for the rest of her life.

The five-member team continued forward.

In the deepest part of the ancient ruin, they found the bodies of the other five members of the exploration team, who had entered the ruin from another entrance.

Boundless horror struck their hearts.

But the intelligence clearly stated that these five people had safely returned to headquarters.

Therefore, there was only one answer, someone with high authority within the organization had lied to them.

It was for something that existed in the depths of the ancient ruin!

To satisfy their desires, exploration teams were like consumables, they could be sacrificed at will!

And they finally saw what the mastermind behind the scenes desired.

They saw – a dazzling, death-bringing angel.

Chapter 116: Sharon’s Transformation

Back in her bedroom, Adele resumed her “salted fish” mode during the holiday.

She immediately flopped onto the bed, her plump little butt sticking up unconsciously, and started playing with her phone.

As for the part about her feeling lonely and staring at her phone’s contact list in a daze…

Huh? That was impossible, with mobile games to play, how could Adele be lonely!

Ahem, just kidding, loneliness was an emotion that no one could avoid.

It wasn’t just caused by the distance or closeness of relationships.

Even mobile games had their so-called “downtime.”

Every player must have experienced the feeling of logging in and immediately feeling lost, not knowing what to do.

Compared to reality, Adele would also feel dazed when she opened her phone’s contact list, looking at the familiar numbers and avatars.

But at this time, the girl’s mood was more like zoning out, not particularly sad.

Perhaps loneliness was like this, a feeling of being submerged in water, soaked and without anything to rely on.

When loneliness became too intense, it was like drowning and suffocating.

Adele would often fall into a deep sleep at such times.

Maybe in her dreams, there would be girls waiting for her?

Just like today, after playing games for a while, Adele felt bored and naturally lay down on the bed.

She covered herself with a small blanket in her dorm room.

There was no need to worry about her falling asleep, anyone who saw her would call her a “pig.”

But if anyone dared to say it out loud, she would… well, it depended on who it was.

She would punish Celeste, Hermione would just grumble and act spoiled, and Sharon would probably never do such a proactive and flirtatious thing, so she didn’t need to consider her.

Soon, Adele experienced what it meant to have a “lucid dream.”

When she fully realized that she was in a dream, a triumphant smile appeared on the girl’s lips, but it was fleeting, afraid of being discovered by the intruder in her dream.

But even so, Adele was in a good mood.

Because the “fish,” even facing such obvious bait, still took the bait.

The scene she was in was a famous flower viewing spot in the academy. During spring and summer, couples would gather here, watching the falling petals, whispering and even kissing in the rain of flowers.

Sharon actually had a more sensitive and shy girlish heart than anyone else, hidden so deep that she would only reveal it in the absolutely safe realm of dreams.

Although the so-called “absolute” had long been broken, Sharon was completely unaware of this.

She was just nervously and contradictorily waiting for her “dream lover,” Adele’s arrival.

Her nervousness went without saying.

The contradiction was because she had broken her original decision and secretly entered Adele’s dream, even changing it into her own home ground.

But since this was the result Adele desired, Sharon could comfort herself with this.

She waved to Adele from afar.

The Sharon in the dream was obviously more confident and proactive.

If it were in reality, her teeth would chatter for a long time before she could even say hello.

Adele immediately noticed Sharon waiting for her under the rain of flowers and ran towards her excitedly.

“Sorry, I kept you waiting, Sharon.”

The role she was playing in the dream was that of a lover who was slightly late for a date.

Adele was panting, but she wasn’t actually tired, it was just that her heart was beating faster, as if she had really run a distance.

Sharon thoughtfully wiped the sweat from Adele’s forehead.

“It’s okay, I just arrived too.”

Her eyes were gentle, her short silver-gray hair neatly framing her delicate face, making her face look even smaller, alluringly cute.

Seeing Adele staring at her, unable to look away, Sharon’s embarrassment almost overflowed. She lowered her head, her cheeks flushed red with shyness.

“I… I feel like Sharon is especially cute today~”

“…R-really?”

“Of course, so small and fragrant, I really want to take a bite and see what you taste like.”

Adele gradually approached Sharon. Seeing that Sharon didn’t seem to want to stop her, or rather, the girl almost didn’t know how to refuse, Adele gently wrapped her arms around Sharon’s slender waist.

Feeling Sharon’s slender waist that could be easily grasped with one hand, and her sudden stiffness followed by a soft surrender.

She was always good at pushing her luck.

After all, who would play childish love games with a little girl?

Let big sister show you what adult love is like, let’s “get down to business”~

Sharon’s heart was beating so fast that she could hardly think.

Was Adele always this proactive?

With such overwhelming aggression.

But she didn’t dislike it.

Or rather, for Sharon, who was used to being passive, it was great that Adele could take the initiative.

Although if she thought about it carefully, she would sense the deliberateness of Adele’s actions, Sharon was just immersed in it, not wanting to think too much.

That’s what made sweet dreams hard to wake up from.

It was ironic that Sharon, the “Dream Eater,” who had the ability to manipulate and invade dreams, was now trapped in a “sweet dream” created by someone else.

A dream within a dream, Adele now felt like she was in “Inception.”

After a brief hug, Adele released Sharon’s arms.

But Sharon was still a little unsatisfied.

They walked along the scenic path, petals falling gracefully, people bustling around them.

The surrounding pedestrians were all faceless extras. Although Adele noticed this, she didn’t care and wouldn’t foolishly make Sharon realize that she had discovered it.

Otherwise, the fact that this was a “lucid dream” would be exposed.

After all, the main characters of this dream were her and Sharon.

Under normal circumstances, the faces that could appear in dreams were definitely those of people or things that Adele was familiar with.

They were projections of her experiences or thoughts from the daytime.

Theoretically speaking, “dreaming of what you think about during the day” was very scientific.

Just like when Adele was chatting with Sharon like a real couple, making plans to go shopping at a nearby mall, she brushed past Li Lige on the street.

Li Lige, still in her urban beauty attire, faced everything with elegance and composure, walking resolutely towards the darkness that the dream couldn’t reach, as if nothing could stop her determination.

Adele looked back in surprise, and Sharon noticed it.

This natural reaction didn’t need to be concealed.

Just like if Adele encountered Dorothy or Hermione in her dream and pretended not to see them, Sharon would keenly sense that Adele was hiding something from her.

The most important thing to make someone believe that they were really dreaming was to be natural.

Adele wasn’t natural in some aspects, for example, when she hugged Sharon intimately – but because this was what Sharon desired, her brain would beautify and explain everything.

But if she continued to act unnaturally when encountering Li Lige, even Sharon, who trusted her, would start to doubt the Adele beside her.

“Who is… she?”

Sharon asked.

The Adele in the dream wouldn’t lie. In a way, her reaction was similar to when she was being controlled by a Sequence One’s mental power.

“Li Lige, a senior I met at the library yesterday.”

Adele answered without hesitation, withdrawing her gaze from Li Lige’s back.

Sharon’s light golden eyes flickered, the smile on her lips still there.

Clearly, she was very satisfied with Adele’s answer.

And she was finally relieved that Adele still didn’t know that she had entered her dream.

It was just that the name “Li Lige,” why did it sound so familiar…

Sharon thought carefully for a moment, then decided to give up thinking about it.

She and Edith were completely different types of people. She didn’t have a wide social circle, nor did she have Edith’s ambition.

So she might have heard of Li Lige’s name, after all, Li Lige was the student council president when she first entered the academy, before it was replaced by the current “Wen Weiran.”

But to be able to immediately recall it, firstly, Sharon couldn’t do it, and secondly, she didn’t want to waste her date time with Adele on such trivial matters.

If she had to investigate every clear face that appeared in Adele’s dream, it would be too paranoid.

Adele would probably also find her annoying and possessive.

Soon, they arrived at the mall.

Accompanying a girl shopping was a troublesome and tiring task.

Fortunately, Adele had already found some fun in shopping.

After all, it was she who was buying things now, and it was someone else who was paying!

Sharon’s ideal date was still the classic three: shopping, eating, and watching a movie. She couldn’t think of anything more exciting.

Adele didn’t expect to completely conquer Sharon in just one dream, so she was willing to adapt to Sharon’s desired slow pace and create romantic memories for each other in the dream.

Like the last time when she kissed Sharon directly in her room, it was a bit too straightforward.

It was only natural that Sharon couldn’t accept it at that time.

Now, Adele was prepared to work on the details.

In a women’s clothing store in the mall, Adele chose a dress she liked. When they arrived at the fitting room, she stuffed the dress into Sharon’s arms.

This caught Sharon off guard.

“A-Adele?”

“This is a dress for Sharon, go try it on~”

Sharon’s expression was a mixture of surprise and delight, but after the surprise, she instinctively wanted to back down.

“N-no need, Adele… I’ve never tried on a dress before, it’s not that I don’t like the dress you chose for me!”

“It’s just that I really…”

Sharon found it hard to say.

She had rarely worn dresses.

Sharon still remembered the first time she wore a dress, she was ridiculed, and someone drew on her precious dress.

From then on, Sharon never wore a dress again. Her short hair was also more boyish.

But anyone who noticed her delicate and weak features would sigh from the bottom of their hearts, it was a pity that such a delicate girl didn’t wear dresses.

“Just try it on, I’ve always wanted to see Sharon in a dress.”

Adele’s eyes, sparkling with anticipation, were impossible to refuse.

Sharon’s eyelashes fluttered, a sign of wavering.

“…Just this once.”

With that, she blushed, hugged the dress Adele had prepared for her, and turned to enter the fitting room.

Adele smiled slightly, partly because she got her wish, and partly because, once there was one, there would be two, then three, four, five, six, seven, Sharon, you can’t escape~

About two minutes later, Sharon came out of the fitting room, blushing.

According to the rule that the flow of time in dreams was half that of reality, only about one minute had passed in the outside world.

Adele originally wanted to boost Sharon’s confidence, so she was prepared to shower her with compliments as soon as she put on the dress, regardless of whether it looked good or not.

But the reality was that when Sharon, wearing the dress, reappeared before Adele, Adele was stunned on the spot, and couldn’t help but exclaim,

“Wow…”

“Sharon, you really look like a princess!”

Sharon’s delicate shoulders trembled slightly. She was too embarrassed by Adele’s compliment, turning her cheek away, her face flushed, her eyes misty.

“D-don’t… don’t tease me…”

“I’m not teasing you, Sharon, you really look good.”

Adele took Sharon’s arm and led her to the full-length mirror beside them, letting her see her current appearance.

At that moment, even Sharon couldn’t help but hold her breath.

The silver-haired girl reflected in the mirror… was that her?

It wasn’t because the dress added too much color. It was a dress that Adele had chosen at a glance, thinking it would suit Sharon. It wasn’t expensive, and the style wasn’t particularly special either. It was thin and light, with a blue ribbon tied around the waist.

But the reason it looked so good on Sharon was purely because of Sharon’s own beauty.

Her delicate features hidden under her short hair, her pitiful eyes, her slender legs that were pressed together shyly under the skirt, like a fawn’s.

She really looked like a doll or a princess.

But looking at this scene, Sharon subconsciously shook her head, her thoughts becoming muddled.

Because she knew that this wasn’t her true self.

The real her wasn’t like this at all.

Instead, her hair was too long, covering her eyes, her gaze was dull, and her hunched posture with her head lowered was unsightly, without any spirit or temperament.

Seemingly sensing the girl’s inner turmoil, Adele took a deep breath, then did something that surprised Sharon.

She reached out, cupped Sharon’s face, and prevented her from lowering her head completely, from immersing herself in that pitiful past.

At the same time, she said seriously,

“Don’t look away, Sharon, this is you!”

“Have a little more confidence in yourself, the changed Sharon will definitely be even more beautiful!”

Admittedly, the Sharon in the dream was more like the perfect self in Sharon’s mind.

But what Adele wanted to say was that this face, this body, wouldn’t change!

Whether in dreams or reality, Sharon was Sharon.

If her hair was too long, she could get a haircut, find a style that suited her.

It didn’t matter if her cheeks were pale and her gaze timid, that was how vampires should be, it even gave her a sickly young lady vibe – which was Adele’s type, so there was no need to change this.

But hunching over and lowering her head, as long as she overcame the hurdle in her heart, couldn’t she also stand tall and proud!

Throw away those old clothes and pants, and put on beautiful new dresses!

And white silk stockings! This was very important!

If all else failed, there was makeup, plastic surgery, beauty filters… there was always something for you!

If she didn’t change, she would never meet a better version of herself.

This was the truth that Adele wanted Sharon to know.

“Have a little more confidence in myself… and make a change?”

The girl murmured, staring at herself in the mirror, lost in thought.

Adele didn’t rush her, waiting patiently for Sharon to come to terms with herself.

Even if she couldn’t do it now, it didn’t matter, as long as a seed was planted, it would sprout one day.

She leaned towards the slightly dazed Sharon, towards her jade-like side profile, and rubbed her cheek against it with a mischievous smile.

“Cuddles~”

“…”

Adele’s sudden action made Sharon’s heart skip a beat.

But she didn’t dislike this intimacy at all.

Later, Sharon, wearing the dress Adele had chosen for her, spent this ordinary but heartwarming date with her.

When she woke up again, it was already six or seven o’clock in the evening.

For Adele, she had really taken a long nap.

Fortunately, Adele had a lazy cat constitution, just like First Snow, she could sleep as much as she wanted.

She was very suitable for staying in bed~

So she decided to go out for food first, then go back to her dorm to play games for the rest of the night, and finally sleep to prepare for tomorrow’s internship task.

Of course, working was impossible, she would never work in this lifetime.

As she walked out of her bedroom, Adele stretched lazily and yawned, as if afraid that Sharon next door wouldn’t hear her.

“Ah woo~”

At the same time, she took a deep look at the dorm room door next door, a sly smile on her lips.

When would this door be opened for her?

Adele thought that it shouldn’t be too long in the future.

After all, Sharon, you also wanted to go on a date with her openly, in the sunlight, in the real world, right?

Just being in a dream was like scratching an itch through your boots, you wouldn’t be satisfied, Sharon.

Adele was looking forward to that day, to the transformed Sharon seeking her praise.

Closing her eyes, waiting for her kiss.

………………

The little cat with golden wings spread, like an elf, descended on the girl’s window sill, riding the evening breeze.

But her sense of direction was always bad.

Just as she poked her cat head through the corner of the window, First Snow instantly realized – she had gone to the wrong dorm!

Oops, meow…

This… seemed to be the room where Adele’s roommate lived, meow!

Realizing this, First Snow, embarrassed, was about to leave immediately.

However, the scene that appeared before her made the curious cat stop her little paws again.

She saw a silver-haired girl in the dimly lit room, with the lights off, her petite figure perhaps even smaller than Adele’s.

She was standing in front of a full-length mirror, slowly taking off her clothes, one piece after another…

Sharon was so focused on herself in the mirror that she didn’t even notice the little voyeur peeking through the window in the corner.

First Snow didn’t understand what this strange sister was doing.

But her curiosity made her unable to move her paws for the moment.

After taking off all her clothes, Sharon gasped.

Her body in reality also felt the coldness of the surrounding air more sensitively, making her hair stand on end slightly.

She hugged herself, her body trembling.

But gradually, Sharon tried to straighten her back and lift her head, facing the beautiful body in the mirror, just like Adele had said.

Be more confident… be more confident.

She kept hypnotizing herself, which sounded a bit ridiculous for a “Dream Eater.”

But this was what Sharon was seriously doing at this moment.

After a long time, Sharon moved on to the next stage. She picked up a pair of sharp scissors and started trying to trim her overgrown bangs.

Sharon didn’t like going out, wasn’t good at socializing, and basically did everything herself, including getting her hair done.

There were times when it was really ugly, and she had to go out in public with that kind of hair, becoming a laughingstock in the eyes of others, which naturally increased her sense of inferiority.

But later, she was actually able to cut her own hair quite well.

“Snip, snip…”

Strands of silver-gray hair fell gracefully to the floor.

Sharon was making changes in the direction she desired, working hard silently behind Adele’s back.

Only a little cat witnessed all of this.

But when she saw Sharon picking up the scissors, she immediately ran away.

Because First Snow was very afraid of scissors, meow.

She had been shaved by the foolish Xiao Wei before, and First Snow was almost depressed at that time, not giving Xiao Wei a good look for several months.

Although Xiao Wei shaved her for her own good, First Snow didn’t care, meow!

She circled to the other side of the apartment building, to Adele’s dorm.

Then, without hesitation, she used her small-scale teleportation magic to enter Adele’s room.

Adele, who was lying lazily on the bed playing with her phone, would never have imagined that a cat would suddenly fall from the sky.

It landed directly on her stomach, almost making her vomit up her dinner.

“First—Snow!”

“Meow!”

Realizing that she had caused trouble, First Snow’s ears flattened against her head, and she started to run away frantically.

Then began a chaotic chase between the girl and the cat.

Finally, the pitiful First Snow was caught by Adele, who was holding her by the scruff of her neck.

She let out a aggrieved whimper.

“Meow, meow… meow…”

S-sorry, meow…

Perhaps First Snow’s apologetic and remorseful expression was too obvious, Adele understood what she wanted to say without any translation.

Looking at her like this, even if Adele was angry, she couldn’t bring herself to scold this cute and pitiful cat.

Helplessly, she could only lightly pat First Snow’s little butt as punishment.

Unexpectedly, this little minx cat actually got excited from the pat, her butt instinctively lifting up, her tail straightening.

But First Snow herself seemed confused.

She didn’t know why her butt felt tingly when it was patted…

It didn’t hurt, it even felt a little comfortable, meow…

“Little minx.”

Adele said, not holding back her teasing.

“Meow…”

First Snow transformed into her cat-girl form, sitting on Adele’s bed with her legs tucked under her, her hands clenched into fists, her head lowered, only daring to retort with a weak “meow.”

She didn’t dare to say anything more, meow.

First Snow was always mischievous in front of Principal Winona, not caring about her surroundings at all.

Even during the mobilization meeting in the morning, she shamelessly lay down under Principal Winona’s podium and slept soundly.

If the students had discovered this, the principal’s authority would have been greatly reduced.

As for the principal’s colleagues, they were already used to this.

But in front of Adele, First Snow’s usual arrogance was gone.

Or rather, she was more inclined to please Adele.

Was this the legendary “those who are favored are fearless, those who are not will always be restless?”

First Snow used her little brain, thought carefully, then rolled over in front of Adele, exposing her belly.

Adele: ???

She didn’t know that this was how felines expressed apology and friendliness.

Rolling over and exposing their belly.

Most of First Snow’s habits were exactly the same as a kitten’s.

This might be related to the fact that she was raised by wild cats in the mountains.

In front of Adele, she had no dignity or arrogance as a noble Cat-Bird.

Adele roughly understood what First Snow wanted to express, she was apologizing.

But she still stroked her chin, putting on an arrogant air.

“Just exposing your belly isn’t enough to apologize, little First Snow~”

“Then… then what should I do, meow?”

“What to do…” Adele quickly racked her brains.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her.

She had an idea!

It was something that only First Snow could do.

And for the current Adele, it was crucial!

Chapter 115: A Friend’s Confession

The two lingered in the art classroom for quite a while.

The midday sun had already begun to shift westward. If she didn’t eat something soon, Adele felt like her stomach would be growling.

Seemingly sensing her Master’s need, Celeste prepared to open the door of the art classroom.

“Wait a bit longer… My legs are weak.”

Adele stopped her.

“Yes, Master.”

“Help me tie my tie, I’m exhausted.”

The girl’s voice was filled with a charming coquettishness.

“…Yes.”

Celeste thought disrespectfully in her heart, but hadn’t her Master been mostly motionless the whole time? It was she who had been…

But she didn’t dare to challenge her Master’s authority on this matter.

Otherwise, Celeste might face a real “punishment.”

Not like just now, which was more like a reward than a punishment.

Adele leaned back against the desk, tilting her flawless and beautiful face slightly towards Celeste, closing her eyes, and feeling Celeste’s gentle and adoring gaze on her cheeks.

Although it didn’t have the warmth of the sun, it was far better than the spring sun.

Celeste straightened the collar of Adele’s school uniform shirt, then picked up the tie that had just been covering her eyes and slowly tied it for Adele.

“Don’t act on your own next time.”

Adele suddenly said.

Celeste finally understood, so… it was because of that matter that she was being punished.

But thinking about it, it was because her Master felt that she had bribed the teacher for her sake, so in the end, she relented and chose this way to “teach her a lesson.”

“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again, Master.”

“Pfft, who calls themselves a dog?”

“I thought Master would like it…”

“I told you not to assume… forget it, you’re a hopeless dog, your ‘biting’ skills are quite good though.”

Celeste didn’t understand what her Master was talking about at first.

Until she realized the meaning behind the words “biting.”

Her face instantly flushed red to the tips of her ears.

After she finished tying Adele’s tie, Adele jumped lightly to the floor.

“Let’s go, take me to eat something delicious~”

Adele naturally wrapped her arm around Celeste’s, acting spoiled like usual.

Even a Master didn’t have to put on airs all the time when with their subordinate.

That would be too tiring.

Celeste smiled slightly, feeling a strange warmth flowing comfortably in her lower abdomen, where the magic patterns were.

“Okay, what does Master want to eat?”

“Spicy hot pot~”

It sounded like a cheap and ordinary food, Celeste thought to herself, puzzled.

Could it be that her Master had some special meaning behind it?

But actually, Adele didn’t think that much at all.

She used to be poor and suddenly became rich, so she would subconsciously try to cater to the upper class, eating Western food and buying luxury goods.

Later, she got used to being wealthy and lost interest in these things.

It was like someone taking a picture of an uncle wearing flip-flops in a high-end restaurant and complaining about how such a person could be allowed in.

But in reality, it was just an ordinary lunch for the uncle, it was the person taking the picture who was dressed up and carefully groomed for a meal, the difference was obvious.

As they left the art classroom, Celeste suddenly saw a flash of white light on the window sill, but when she looked again, she found nothing.

Maybe it was just an illusion, the girl thought to herself.

Ten minutes later, in a spicy hot pot restaurant on the corner of the street, Adele added an extra spoonful of chili oil and sesame oil to her spicy hot pot, mixing it evenly. This way, it tasted better.

Celeste didn’t seem to be able to handle spicy food, so her bowl of bland soup was only decorated with a few chopped green onions.

This was Celeste’s first time trying “spicy hot pot.” She immediately started searching online.

• “My lover treated me to spicy hot pot, what does it mean?”

Celeste used the word “lover” instead of “Master.” Clearly, even as a “dog,” she had her own desires and ambitions.

Soon, the search results came out.

And it was precisely these results that made Celeste’s face flush crimson.

“Celeste? What’s wrong?”

“N-nothing, Master… I just think… it’s a little too spicy.”

Adele tilted her head.

This… was considered “spicy”?

Damn it! Don’t underestimate “spicy”!

But on the other hand, Celeste thought seriously.

After eating this bowl of spicy hot pot, did she really have to do it thirteen times?

Would Adele… really be okay?

Celeste’s first thought wasn’t about herself, but about her Master’s body.

Could it be that her Master was the kind of person who didn’t look like it on the surface, but actually had a very strong “desire”?

Adele: ???

………………

While eating lunch, Adele felt that Celeste’s gaze towards her was a bit strange.

But she couldn’t tell what was strange about it.

Perhaps spicy hot pot wasn’t to her liking.

In that case, they should go back to eating Western food next time.

Adele felt that she was already doing her best as a Master, who would be so considerate and caring towards their subordinate?

“By the way, Celeste, what’s your task?”

“It’s about a recent incident in Dongdu, related to beastmen.”

Celeste’s expression became serious. Her task wasn’t as easy as the one Adele received, it was a matter of life and death.

Fortunately, she had a senior leading the team, reliable teammates, and Celeste herself had a talent for this, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

“Beastmen? Beast-eared girls!?”

Unexpectedly, Adele’s eyes lit up.

Her focus was always different, leaving Celeste speechless.

“…No, it’s probably different from what Master imagines.”

“Beastmen and beast-eared races are two completely different foreign races. The beast-eared race is what Master imagines, they have beast ears and tails, and the rest is basically the same as humans. The beautiful beast-eared girls are probably the beast-eared girls Master is expecting.”

“But beastmen are completely different. They are beasts first, then humans.”

“Or it’s not wrong to call them ‘upright walking beasts.’ They have beast-like features all over their bodies, fur and fangs, but they walk upright and use tools.”

“Past legends of ‘wild men’ and ‘Bigfoot’ almost all originated from their race.”

“Eh… is that so? How boring, good luck, Celeste.”

Adele’s tone instantly became perfunctory.

After all, if there were no beast-eared girls, she really wasn’t interested.

But speaking of beast-eared girls, although First Snow didn’t belong to the beast-eared race, she was a real cute cat-girl!

“Yes, I will.”

“Be careful too, their physical abilities should be very strong, right?”

“Yes, but it’s okay, I have a few partners, including some vampires who specialize in physical techniques.”

The so-called physical technique vampires were vampires who had enhanced physical abilities.

They weren’t good at magic, didn’t sign contracts with familiars, and didn’t have special abilities, but they had naturally strong physiques. Some could tear metal with their bare hands, and some could travel thousands of miles a day.

But just relying on these probably wasn’t enough to compare to the other three types of vampires, so their other ability was particularly crucial.

It was called “Blood Rage,” which could temporarily increase a vampire’s physical abilities by several times, even dozens of times! The price was consuming the user’s blood essence and lifespan, almost like self-harm.

This varied greatly from person to person, so the difference between geniuses and ordinary people among physical technique vampires was even more despairing.

However, this “Blood Rage” wasn’t exclusive to physical technique vampires. To be precise, all vampires could use it after learning it.

It was just that the effect of physical technique vampires using it was particularly shocking.

Other vampires, like Adele, let’s say she could carry 20 kilograms of rice.

Okay, let Adele show them what she could do!

After activating Blood Rage, Adele could carry 40 kilograms of rice, congratulations!

So apart from physical technique vampires, why would other vampires burn their lives using this skill for no reason?

Adele listened to Celeste’s explanation and gradually felt relieved.

After all, it was just an internship task. They might get injured, but it was unlikely that their lives would be in danger.

She was actually no different from Celeste, she hoped that the other party would be safe and sound.

Adele didn’t tell Celeste that she might not follow the internship task arrangements and go to the agency to organize archives.

Otherwise, Celeste would definitely be curious and worried about what she was going to do.

The fact that she had met Li Lige in advance had already disrupted her plan.

Whether Li Lige followed the original trajectory or not, Adele didn’t want Celeste to disrupt her plan again.

Therefore, she just asked Celeste to drop her off at school.

Everything after that had nothing to do with Celeste.

“Goodbye, Adele.”

Celeste said goodbye to Adele in front of her dorm.

Adele waved her hand, actually quite reluctant, but she still turned and entered the dorm, returning to her quiet little bedroom.

She had the afternoon off, and the official internship period would start tomorrow.

If nothing unexpected happened, tomorrow Adele should be ostracized by her “companions,” then leave the team alone, and finally accidentally encounter the dying and escaping Li Lige, be witchified by Li Lige, gain her first cheat, and embark on the path of the protagonist.

But obviously, the unexpected had already happened, Adele’s task had been completely changed, and she had met Li Lige in advance.

A butterfly flapping its wings could cause a storm, Adele had changed so much so far, and the future became even more unpredictable.

So instead of worrying about what would happen next, Adele decided to live today well first.

Even if she missed this opportunity, spending a while longer as a salted fish might not be so bad.

After all, her biggest threat came from Dorothy.

But recently, for some reason, Dorothy wasn’t as aggressive towards her as before.

Even the fact that the chastity curse on her lower abdomen had mysteriously disappeared, Dorothy didn’t seem to notice or care much.

Could this be the biggest change?

The biggest and strongest villain in the book lost interest in the protagonist Adele in advance, the end!?

If this was really the case, Adele wouldn’t mind.

But it was most likely not because of this reason.

So it could only be attributed to…

Was there something else that occupied Dorothy’s attention more?

No matter what the possibility was, for the current Adele, being able to live as a salted fish every day, not being forced to become stronger by Dorothy, was really great.

Adele’s mood was reflected in her actions.

She ran up to the second floor with light and happy steps.

Sharon, who was originally huddled in the corner of the bed, holding her phone, her whole body exuding a gloomy aura, couldn’t help but perk up her ears when she heard the sound.

Adele… was back.

This was one of the few things that could make Sharon’s mood fluctuate.

She hadn’t gone out for a while, her silver-gray short hair had grown a little longer, looking messy.

Originally, her bangs only covered one eye, now, as long as she lowered her head, both her eyes were completely covered.

Sharon fit the stereotypical image of a shut-in, or rather, she was a bit too reclusive. Compared to going out to breathe fresh air and socialize, she preferred to stay alone in a corner, reading novels or manga, being moved by the feelings of the girls in the stories, and couldn’t help but yearn for it.

Yes, the novels and manga she favored were, of course, yuri.

She liked to read stories about pure girls ending up with the people they liked, or about lonely girls finding warmth and redemption.

It was easy to find the prototypes of these two types of people in reality.

First was Adele, and second… was Sharon herself.

From this, it could be seen that Sharon was a girl who loved to daydream, which happened to coincide with her ability.

But in order not to disappoint Adele, the girl hadn’t used this ability for a long time.

Just as she thought that Adele would enter her bedroom as usual and close the door with a “bang,” making Sharon’s world lonely again, Adele’s voice came through the door,

“Xiao Meng? Are you there?”

“…”

Sharon’s heart skipped a beat, and she instantly became nervous.

“Are you not there?” Adele’s voice sounded a little disappointed.

If she did nothing and let Adele give up on communicating with her, it would logically be the best course of action for Sharon.

Because that way, she could avoid being discovered by Adele to the greatest extent.

But Sharon, as if possessed, raised her hand and knocked on the wall behind her.

Perhaps she just didn’t want to disappoint Adele.

She used this method to reveal that she was actually in the bedroom.

Adele was so sharp, she would definitely sense it.

As expected, the next moment, Adele’s surprised voice came,

“Xiao Meng is here!”

“Ahem, sorry to disturb you, actually, it’s nothing important, I just received my internship task and I’m a little excited!”

“So I wanted to share it with Xiao Meng, and I also wanted to know if Xiao Meng has received her internship task, we can discuss it together~”

“Or is Xiao Meng actually my senior? If so, Xiao Meng can also give me some advice.”

“Ah, sorry, sorry, I talked too much! If Xiao Meng hates being disturbed, I’ll go back to my bedroom now!”

“…No.”

A slightly dry voice came through the door, and Adele’s eyebrows raised in delight.

Anyway, it was always right to try to communicate with Sharon.

Adele also wanted Sharon to open up, come out of her room, and be close to her.

Sometimes, taking small concealments too seriously would only alienate their relationship.

If the thin-skinned Sharon didn’t have someone like Adele, who was thicker-skinned, to guide her, it wouldn’t be difficult to predict that she would end up “forever alone.”

Adele used her proactive and affectionate approach to pry open Sharon’s heart. At the same time, she wasn’t impatient and didn’t ask Sharon to come out of her room or say anything that would make her wary, like wanting to get to know “Xiao Meng” in real life.

She just chatted about life and studies like an ordinary neighbor and roommate.

Confiding in Xiao Meng like an ordinary friend.

And this was precisely the atmosphere that Sharon enjoyed.

Then, at the right time, Adele would insert her own “private goods,” hoping to achieve the desired effect.

“Xiao Meng, you remind me of a friend of mine, you’re both the kind of shy and introverted girls.”

“…” Sharon’s heart tightened, thinking that Adele had discovered something.

But she had already tried her best to speak in a voice completely different from her own, and she didn’t say much, she shouldn’t be discovered…

Just as Sharon was feeling nervous, Adele seemed completely unaware of the girl’s mood behind the door and continued to chat casually, which made Sharon feel a little relieved.

“But speaking of her, she hasn’t chatted with me for several days.”

“I’m also thin-skinned, I always stare at her profile page in a daze, and the feeling at that time, how should I put it, it’s just a little lonely.”

“If possible, I really hope she could take the initiative to talk to me.”

“I even have this whimsical thought that it would be nice if we could meet in dreams~”

Sharon’s heart skipped a beat, not because she suspected that Adele had discovered that she had entered her dreams before, but because she felt sad.

So when she didn’t know, Adele missed her so much that she even wanted to dream of her.

“I used to dream of her often, but recently, for some reason, I haven’t dreamed of her much.”

“They say you dream of what you think about during the day, I’m always thinking about her, but why doesn’t she come into my dreams like before?”

“…Maybe, she will come to your dream soon.”

Sharon was clumsy with words, and her comfort was practically a self-destructing truck.

But as long as Adele didn’t deliberately expose her, she could continue to play the role of “Xiao Meng.”

Adele smiled, her plan working perfectly, but her tone was slightly melancholy.

“I hope so…”

“Oh, I’ve talked too much without realizing it, Xiao Meng, I’m going back to my bedroom~”

“…Okay.”

Her “private goods” had been delivered, and Adele didn’t linger.

Next, it was up to Sharon whether she wanted to take the bait.

With the soft sound of the door closing, Adele’s figure disappeared from the corridor.

Sharon’s hanging heart should have relaxed.

But it was still hanging, as if the girl was struggling to make a decision.

Chapter 114: Can You Teach First Snow, Meow?

Internship tasks for most of the vampires who were content with mediocrity were practically a vacation.

Because they only needed to spend a little effort to complete the tasks, and then they could freely use the rest of the time.

As for Adele, who was assigned to work as an archivist in a local government agency…

That wasn’t called a vacation, it was called “going to work”!

Adele: Working is impossible, I’ll never work in this lifetime!

So it was no wonder she was dissatisfied with Celeste’s presumptuous actions.

Unfortunately, Celeste herself was completely unaware of this.

“Let’s go, Linlang.”

“Okay.”

It wasn’t until Adele suppressed her fake smile in front of Celeste and turned to leave that Celeste opened her mouth slightly, looking dumbfounded.

Although she couldn’t feel it clearly because she was too far away from her Master, Celeste still sensed that she might have “done something good with bad intentions.”

………………

Noon, break time.

Inside an art classroom, the curtains were drawn tightly.

The space inside was no different from a normal classroom, except that the walls were covered with various oil paintings, and the display platform in front of the classroom was filled with plaster sculptures as art pieces.

There were busts of famous people, miniature models of the Venus de Milo, and so on.

Although these were all student works, in Adele’s eyes, they all possessed a high level of artistry.

Vampires did generally have a high level of artistic accomplishment.

This was determined by their class.

The vampires who mingled in the human world weren’t from the middle or lower classes, they were all from the upper class, high society.

Over time, they were influenced by their surroundings, or rather, the trends of the aristocracy were actually driven and influenced by vampires.

Adele admired these delightful works while waiting for someone’s arrival.

They had agreed to meet at 12:10.

Adele summoned her phone from her spatial ring, unlocked the screen, and found that the other party was almost five minutes late.

Hmph, for every minute late, she would be punished… with one more time!

She wouldn’t really be that cruel, Adele was just joking in her heart.

But she was indeed very dissatisfied with the fact that a certain golden retriever dared to disobey her orders and be late.

Just as Adele was thinking about how to punish Celeste, a sudden knock on the door, accompanied by the girl’s slight panting, caught Adele’s attention.

“…I’m here, Adele.”

There were no other girls in the corridor, but to be safe, Celeste didn’t directly call out “Master.”

But she didn’t know that at this moment, being late meant everything she did was wrong.

At least she had to wait for Adele to vent her anger before things could improve.

“Come in.”

Adele replied with a cold tone, crossing her arms over her chest.

Celeste obediently pushed the door open and closed it behind her.

There weren’t many places in the entire academy for two people to have a private meeting, and the art classroom was relatively close.

The locker room was further away and out of the question, being there would remind Adele and Celeste of that day’s memories, it was a bad place.

The study room in the library – using a place for studying to do this kind of thing?

Finally, going back to Adele’s dorm, Celeste was certainly willing, but wouldn’t that be too pitiful for Sharon?

Sharon would be caught in the crossfire!

Doing this kind of thing again would be too cruel to Sharon, meow!

It was all because the poor girl still hadn’t mustered enough courage to confess to Adele that she was her roommate.

She was too hesitant, too worried about how Adele would see her.

But in reality, Adele didn’t care about these things at all.

She was the type who, if she was cuddling with a girl, and Sharon came over with a disappointed look and said “I seem to have come at a bad time,” Adele would reply “No, you came at the perfect time”!

Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to be happy together?

So the final choice was this classroom.

After punishing the puppy, she would make Celeste treat her to a big meal, Adele planned in her heart.

Celeste actually knew what she was about to face, but she wasn’t afraid, instead, there was an indescribable sense of excitement spreading in her heart.

She was one of the first to recognize Adele’s “tough love” nature.

How severe could the punishment be?

For someone with special preferences, it might even be a “reward.”

Celeste didn’t think she had those kinds of preferences, but if it was Master Adele… Celeste wasn’t so sure anymore.

The empty classroom, no one should come in and disturb them.

The paintings on the walls added a touch of artistic charm to the atmosphere.

Even their cuddling was artistic cuddling!

Adele stood in the only place in the classroom where sunlight could penetrate. The light coming through the small window above the back door wasn’t very strong, it was the afterglow of the warm sun.

It shone on the girl, making her look dazzling and radiant.

Her gaze was direct and undisguised, landing on Celeste’s prominent chest, and she couldn’t help but lick her red lips.

Celeste’s face flushed slightly as she came to Adele and murmured the familiar title,

“…Master.”

“You still know I’m your Master?”

Celeste’s shoulders trembled, but not because of Adele’s words.

It was because Adele’s right hand reached out towards her and, after gesturing a bit, wrapped around her…

Actually, she couldn’t completely wrap it around. Sometimes, Adele really wondered what Celeste ate to grow so big.

Even Hermione was slightly inferior to her in this aspect.

But Hermione had an ethereal and noble aura about her. When she submitted to you, willing to let you touch her, a great sense of satisfaction would surge in your heart.

“Ugh…!”

Celeste’s reaction was very cute, even though it wasn’t the first time her Master had…

But every time, it felt incredibly sensitive and comfortable.

It showed that this body had been completely developed by her Master, it was already her Master’s possession.

The color of the magic patterns on her lower abdomen deepened, becoming a peach pink that emitted a faint glow even in the dark night.

“S-sorry, Master…”

Celeste instinctively apologized.

It wasn’t to make Adele stop punishing her, it was just an instinct.

“I think you… don’t understand at all~”

Adele said teasingly, increasing the strength in her hand.

A slight pain mixed with pleasure made Celeste’s mind hazy.

She didn’t even know if the pain and the comfortable feeling were separate.

Or was it that the pain actually brought her pleasure?

“Please… Master, enlighten me, Celeste will change… I will definitely change!”

“You did make a mistake, but there’s no need to change.”

After all, Celeste’s only mistake was arranging a risk-free task for Adele based on her own thoughts.

She had no selfish motives, only concern and care for her Master.

What kind of master would want their subordinate to change such a sincere heart?

But the reason why Adele said she was wrong was entirely because Celeste’s actions didn’t conform to Adele’s original plan, they even disrupted it.

Fortunately, Adele could remedy it herself.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t just punish Celeste lightly like today.

She would teach Celeste a harsh lesson, making her compensate for it in other ways.

Celeste looked confused.

What did “You did make a mistake, but there’s no need to change” mean?

But Adele obviously didn’t want to dwell on such details.

Besides, it was quite interesting to see Celeste being teased by her, looking so clueless.

So she coughed lightly, clearing her throat, and bringing Celeste’s attention back to her, back to her alluring light pink eyes.

Celeste’s throat moved, the longing written all over her eyes and on her expressive face.

Adele leaned against the desk behind her. At this moment, for convenience, she sat down with her butt, covered by her pleated skirt, pressed against the desk, her thighs forming a plump, shallow curve.

If Celeste dared to lift her skirt, she would be able to see…

But Celeste didn’t dare, she didn’t even dare to look at Adele’s delicate collarbones that were exposed after she loosened her tie.

Yes, Adele untied her tie right in front of her.

The soft, rose-colored silk was flicked gently by the girl, hitting Celeste’s face as she looked away.

It didn’t hurt, but the fragrant scent was refreshing.

At the same time, Adele kicked Celeste’s knee in dissatisfaction. A small footprint instantly appeared on the golden-haired girl’s thin black stockings.

It didn’t hurt either. Adele was a girl who liked to pretend to be tough, acting like a villain, but only doing it to a small extent, always with a soft heart beneath her harsh words.

If others saw this scene, they would only think that she was bullying the poor Celeste.

But only Celeste knew that she was actually enjoying this “bullying” immensely.

“Why are you standing so tall? Who’s the Master here?”

The girl’s voice was soft and delicate, not at all like a question or a reprimand.

“I’m sorry… my Master is Adele, it will always be you, Master.”

With that, Celeste obediently knelt down in front of Adele, slightly raising her face filled with devotion.

Adele’s gaze fell on her soft, red lips, and she almost couldn’t help but be drawn in.

But today’s game wasn’t about that~

Adele suppressed her aroused desire, picked up the tie, spread it out in her palm, and showed it to Celeste.

The latter looked at her Master in confusion, then at the soft, rose-colored ribbon in her Master’s palm.

Until her vision also became… rose-colored.

Celeste’s heart skipped a beat.

A certain part of her heart instantly melted, as if it was about to drip.

Adele used her tie to blindfold Celeste, from now on, she couldn’t see anything.

In the rose-colored darkness, all her senses except sight would be greatly amplified and expanded.

Celeste felt a shiver of longing sweeping through her entire body.

As if Adele only needed to touch her lightly to activate the switch in Celeste’s body.

But Adele deliberately teased her. After blindfolding Celeste, she smiled faintly, just observing Celeste’s expression and listening to her rapid breathing, like a fish caught on the shore, longing for the nourishment of water.

“Master, Master…”

“Who told you to rush me? You have no manners.”

“…”

Celeste’s shoulders trembled violently, realizing her presumption and disrespect.

She immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

Adele decided in her heart to “leave Celeste hanging for five more minutes.”

This bad girl even took out her phone from her spatial ring, pointed it at Celeste’s current state, and took a picture for future use.

In the picture, the blonde girl in a school uniform was kneeling in front of her, blindfolded by a tie, her face full of longing, but unable to satisfy it.

Her knees were pressed together, showing her endurance.

Time passed by minute by minute, poor Celeste didn’t know when her Master would change her mind.

She could only desperately endure the erosion of darkness and loneliness.

In this endless torment, a soft touch became the dawn that saved Celeste.

She felt her chin being lifted. Her Master must be looking down at her, looking at her lowly, begging appearance with contempt.

Thinking of this, Celeste’s whole body trembled with excitement.

But she didn’t dare to make a sound, worried that if she called out “Master” again without permission, she would be subjected to even longer neglect and torment. She didn’t want that…

It was fine if her Master messed her up.

Even if she was completely ruined…

Just don’t… don’t leave her alone…

“Put your hands behind your back obediently.”

Seemingly satisfied with Celeste’s performance, Adele gave her order.

Celeste quickly obeyed. At some point, her body had developed absolute obedience to Adele’s commands.

But because she was in a hurry, the moment Celeste put her hands behind her back, she stumbled a little, losing face in front of her Master.

Adele found it amusing and let out a clear laugh.

Then, the laughter stopped, and silence returned.

Celeste, her face flushed red, became flustered again.

But she felt her Master’s breath getting closer, then moving away.

“Let’s play a game, Celeste.”

“…Yes, Master.”

“No matter what method you use, guess what I’ve placed in front of you~”

“…”

Celeste nodded, a mix of anxiety and anticipation in her heart.

Adele then said,

“Good girl, then… let the game begin.”

As the girl’s chuckle faded away, Celeste, who had gradually adapted to the darkness under the blindfold, could indeed “see” that something had appeared in front of her.

But with her hands tied behind her back, she could only use her sense of smell and… taste to identify it.

She sniffed at first, but there was no smell, so she couldn’t tell what it was.

Without her Master’s order, she didn’t dare to touch it.

It wasn’t until her Master chuckled and said “You can use your mouth” that she hesitantly opened her mouth and gently took it in.

“…”

Her small and soft tongue and mouth instantly enveloped it.

Celeste immediately recognized what it was.

“F-finger… ugh…”

Her Master’s finger.

To be more precise, it should be her index finger.

Celeste licked it greedily, she didn’t understand what the meaning of this sucking motion was.

But as long as she thought that it was her Master’s finger, she couldn’t help but do such a silly thing.

“Do you think this is a bone? You really are like a puppy, haha~”

When Adele pulled her finger away, Celeste still lingered, her breath smelling like musk.

Seeing her like this, Adele couldn’t help but reach out her finger again, pinching Celeste’s soft, warm, and slippery little tongue.

Poor Celeste could only whimper incoherently, crystal clear liquid dripping down the corner of her lips.

Landing on her conservatively buttoned collar and chest.

Adele snorted softly.

“Even your Master is undressed, and you still want to wear clothes?”

As she spoke, she easily untied the bow on Celeste’s chest, along with a few buttons that were in the way.

Adele only stopped when she pulled open Celeste’s collar, revealing the deep, snowy ravine.

From Adele’s condescending perspective, she could just see this breathtaking scenery.

She held Celeste’s head, her fingers intertwined with Celeste’s golden hair.

“Guess again, what is this~”

But Celeste was confused.

Her Master clearly… hadn’t put anything in front of her.

Not even a finger.

She had already adapted to the feeling of being blindfolded, and could even see some outlines of the outside world in the darkness.

Because of the light, the light was scattered and intertwined, reflecting on the rose-colored tie, forming an image on her retina.

At this moment, all Celeste could see was her Master’s… legs, almost pressing against her head.

“Stupid dog.”

Adele scolded softly in dissatisfaction.

Celeste seemed to understand something, but she also seemed to be overwhelmed by a great surprise, hesitant.

“Guess quickly, I said guess quickly!”

Adele’s tone was impatient. She could see from Celeste’s expression that she understood, this stupid dog…

Celeste’s breathing hitched.

Then, she made the decision that satisfied Adele.

But without the use of her hands, many things were extremely inconvenient.

Just using her nose to lift Adele’s skirt took Celeste a long time, her fair face flushed red.

But fortunately, she finally succeeded, and slowly leaned forward…

“Have you guessed it?”

Adele felt a sense of extreme pleasure. She breathed heavily, her hand stroking Celeste’s soft golden hair.

Her fingers occasionally tightened, pulling Celeste’s hair, she didn’t know if it hurt.

Celeste didn’t answer.

She… had to guess a few more times.

Maybe… maybe she would never guess…

Because compared to the answer, it was the process that she wanted.

………………

Adele was right, no one would come to disturb their fun in this place.

But she didn’t expect that there might be a cat.

Outside the window of the art classroom, a small, snow-white paw was pulling the curtain open slightly.

Then, the little creature used this gap to peek inside, her innocent and pure eyes with vertical pupils observing the scene.

Kitten Peeking.jpg

The kitten was naturally First Snow, the Cat-Bird with golden wings.

She smelled Adele’s scent, so she came here.

But when she excitedly wanted to greet Adele, the scene inside made her tilt her head in confusion.

That “Meow?” sound rang in First Snow’s mind.

Because the clever kitten knew that it was best not to make a sound at this time.

So she huddled pitifully in the corner of the window sill, not even daring to flap her wings, afraid that the sound of her touching something would alert the two people in the art classroom.

What is Adele doing, meow…

It looks very comfortable…

First Snow’s body felt hot for some reason.

She felt strange…

At this time, she recalled the memory of being held by Adele last night.

Adele had said that it was their little secret…

First Snow’s ears, tail, and the base of her tail were touched by her sister…

The tingling sensation seemed to travel through time and space, reaching First Snow’s body at this moment.

She couldn’t meow, but it was as if a strange magic was attracting her, making her watch everything that was happening in the art classroom, not wanting to miss a single moment.

Until it was all over, and Adele gently kissed the blonde sister’s forehead, untying the rose-colored ribbon that was covering her eyes.

First Snow’s heart still felt like it was being scratched by something, an inexplicable itch.

And she didn’t know how to relieve this itch.

Adele… is so cunning, meow.

She knows so many things that First Snow doesn’t know.

Can you teach First Snow, meow…?

Chapter 113: I’ll Reward You Well

Reaching the highest floor of the academy, the grand hall!

Oh my, isn’t that Dorothy? Let’s look at Hermione in the distance, everyone.

Adele avoided Dorothy’s gaze and instead met Hermione’s eyes, smiling faintly from afar.

Hermione’s heart skipped a beat, then she recalled the experience of that night, and a certain part of her neck started to feel hot.

So… this was what it felt like to be possessed.

For her, who was used to dominance and taking the initiative, it was actually quite novel and not bad.

Not to mention that Adele was gentle and patient, and the occasional clumsiness and nervousness she showed were also endearing.

But the reason she left that morning without saying goodbye was because her family suddenly summoned her.

So Hermione couldn’t continue to stay by Adele’s side, let alone see her off.

However, her family didn’t call her because she had found a “girlfriend” and was even the submissive one in the relationship.

Although when they heard the news from the maid, Hermione’s family was shocked.

They even found it hard to look at Hermione, the most talented descendant their family had produced in centuries.

It was probably the reaction of any member of a prominent family when they heard that their heir was the submissive one in a relationship outside.

What a disgrace…

But for Hermione, this was something she was willing to do for love.

Love wasn’t just about taking, it should also involve unconscious giving and dedication.

The real reason her family called her was to talk about… her match with Dorothy that day.

Although the Black Emperor of the vampires had disappeared into the distant past, his reputation still lingered.

Not to mention that his bloodline still flowed in Dorothy’s body.

Generally speaking, the descendants of the bloodline of a True Ancestor who was still alive would be stronger than vampires of the same age.

For example, the True Ancestor of Hermione’s family existed in this world, while the True Ancestor of Edith’s family, Lady Chen Xi, was currently no different from “dead.”

Setting aside Hermione’s talent, assuming she and Edith had the same talent, then Hermione’s power would definitely be stronger than Edith’s.

This was a common belief among vampires.

And what Hermione’s family wanted to figure out was whether the bloodline of the Black Emperor, which continued in Dorothy’s body, still protected his descendants.

Would the Black Emperor… make a comeback?

On the surface, everyone in the vampire race hoped that the Black Emperor would return with the glory of the vampires.

This was the politically correct stance within the vampire race, and no one dared to openly oppose it.

But behind the scenes, it was uncertain whether everyone could agree.

Obviously, a too powerful emperor was a sword hanging over the heads of the vassals.

This sharp blade could be used externally to create a prosperous era, or internally to punish those who were disloyal.

Everyone respected the Black Emperor, but if anyone wanted to return to the Black Emperor era, many vampires would only think that they were crazy.

However, there were actually quite a few such crazy people. They were the royalists within the vampire race, and also the foundation for Dorothy’s future rule.

For them, even if the Black Emperor couldn’t return, it was enough to welcome the birth of a new emperor.

Therefore, Dorothy’s strength became the focus of attention for most vampires.

Before Hermione and Dorothy had a serious match, most blood nobles couldn’t say for sure who was stronger.

If it weren’t for the fact that Dorothy’s contracted familiar was an indescribable and unpredictable being from another world, most people would definitely guess that Hermione was stronger.

But after Dorothy contracted such a being, she had unlimited possibilities, making people wary of her.

Now, the match began with Hermione’s challenge and ended with her defeat.

The spread of this news inevitably caused some people to worry.

That’s why Hermione was summoned.

In her family, while Hermione felt that the way people looked at her was strange, she still truthfully reported her feelings and experiences from her fight with Dorothy.

In her impression, she might have made Dorothy unusually excited.

But to say that Dorothy went all out for her…

Sorry, Hermione didn’t think she had achieved that.

Although Hermione also had some tricks up her sleeve, if they fought to the end, she still didn’t think she had a chance of winning.

This was undoubtedly bad news for Hermione’s family.

It was even worse than their daughter being the submissive one in a relationship outside.

They obviously didn’t want Princess Dorothy to continue growing up peacefully and eventually recreate the glory of the Black Emperor era.

Therefore, creating obstacles for Dorothy became their topic of discussion and goal.

But these were all things that the current Hermione didn’t know.

It was also the adults’ responsibility to let Hermione, who was still in the academy, maintain her precious innocence.

Hermione was about to respond to Adele, but the hall was too noisy. In a blink of an eye, Adele had disappeared.

The Ice Queen couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

But she knew that Adele had gone to the area for their lower year.

Finally, after finding her seat, Adele began to observe the surroundings.

As far as she could see, almost all the students were vampires. Humans were clustered at the front of each area, standing out as the most outstanding.

So, sometimes humans were also cunning. Those who could become ability users were all dragons and phoenixes among men, but they seemed insignificant compared to the billions of humans.

Those billions of humans were the most ordinary base.

But in the academy, the atmosphere that every vampire student felt was the excellence and strength of humans, subtly making the new generation of vampires feel a certain awe towards human ability users.

They forgot that even the most ordinary vampire was much stronger than an ordinary human.

Tang Linlang sat next to Adele, her gaze occasionally glancing at Adele’s left hand, where she was wearing the ring, lost in thought.

Celeste was sitting not far away in front of them. She didn’t interact with the vampire students around her, like an island in the crowd.

But actually, before she met Adele, she also had friends she could talk to.

However, these so-called “friends” all disappeared after Celeste offended Hermione.

It could be said that the closer they were to Celeste before, the worse their attitude towards her became afterwards.

After all, whether Hermione saw it or not, they needed to express their clear stance in this way.

Celeste experienced the coldness of the world early on.

That’s why she understood how hard-won her relationship with Adele was, how touching it was that her Master never abandoned her.

She didn’t care what others thought, but Celeste would definitely stick to her loyalty, always serving her Master.

Whether there was any influence from the magic patterns, it was hard to say.

But even if there was, it was just the magic patterns further shaping her heart according to her own wishes.

Also worth mentioning was that the order in the hall today was maintained by members of the Black Feather Society. This was one of the powers they had taken from the student council.

This undoubtedly highlighted Edith’s success as a leader.

In contrast, the student council’s power in the academy was shrinking.

The overall situation was one of “the enemy advancing, we retreating,” which made the student council members very indignant.

They had been the elites of the academy for so long, and naturally, they didn’t want others to share their pie and take away their positions as managers.

Therefore, criticisms of the student council president arose.

Of course, there were also other discordant voices.

The most famous argument was that “as long as the student council opened its doors to vampires, the Black Feather Society would collapse instantly.”

After all, the Black Feather Society was essentially an organization born from the arrogance of the student council.

The student council’s arrogance made them only allow humans and a very small number of vampires to join, ignoring the majority of vampires who accounted for more than 70% of the entire academy.

If the student council chose to abandon maintaining their internal purity and instead accepted most vampires, the Black Feather Society would disintegrate instantly.

On one side was the established and powerful organization, and on the other side was a newly established and corrupt one. Anyone should know which side to choose.

This argument did sound very tempting.

It was also the best way to solve the problem of the Black Feather Society once and for all.

But so far, it was only a small-scale discussion, no one dared to bring it up directly to the decisive student council president.

But once the tide formed, it would eventually turn into a huge wave crashing against the shore.

People were always short-sighted, unable to see the huge crisis hidden behind this.

The student council executives even had reason to believe that this argument might not have come from within the student council, but from their biggest rival, the Black Feather Society.

Because once the student council couldn’t withstand the pressure from the Black Feather Society and chose to open its doors, accepting the influx of vampires, even if they controlled the ratio, even if they controlled the promotion channels for vampires, making them only exist as low-level members of the student council, it wouldn’t change the fact that the internal structure of the student council had become impure.

Maybe they could still suppress the vampires at the bottom of the student council at first, for one year, two years…

But what if after three or four years, the current batch of the most determined human executives in the student council had all left the academy?

Would the remaining humans still be willing to maintain the policies they formulated under the long-term pressure from the vampires?

Loopholes would be opened one after another, the first vampire to become a deputy minister, the first vampire to become a minister, then the vice president…

Finally, even the student council president…

Only then would the humans in the student council suddenly realize that the Black Feather Society would never die, but the student council had become the biggest Black Feather Society…

“Edith, I don’t understand, you’re spreading this kind of public opinion, it’s like you’re giving up on our Black Feather Society.”

On one side of the front row of the grand hall, Vicky, as Edith’s confidante, who knew everything behind this, expressed her confusion to Edith.

Beside her, Edith, now the president of the Black Feather Society, was still wearing her signature black veil, only her purple eyes were staring ahead, looking dark and unfathomable.

Vicky could actually understand that this was a brilliant scheme that the president had come up with after careful consideration.

The point of a brilliant scheme was that – no matter whether the opponent knew your intentions or not, they couldn’t stop this plan from being implemented, they couldn’t change the final outcome.

The only difference was whether the current student council wanted to continue to maintain the purity within their organization and let Edith’s Black Feather Society continue to grow rapidly, or whether they wanted to cut off the roots of the current Black Feather Society and accept the risk of the future student council becoming a larger Black Feather Society.

Even though Vicky knew the brilliance of this move, she still couldn’t help but ask Edith for an explanation.

Because in her opinion, if the Black Feather Society didn’t belong to her and Edith, then it was meaningless.

Even if this scheme was successfully implemented, and after a few years, Cromwell Academy completely became the world of vampires, with human elites declining, what would Edith and Vicky gain?

Vicky knew Edith’s character, she wouldn’t do this kind of “for the greater good” thing.

Rather, vampires were all selfish creatures, so it was no wonder they were a disorganized mess.

Would Edith be willing to give up the current Black Feather Society in exchange for the future Black Feather Society, a Black Feather Society that was most likely not under her control?

Impossible!

If such a thing really happened, Vicky would only think that Edith was crazy.

Or maybe she really was crazy…

Ever since that meeting with Adele in the conference room, Edith had become different from her past self.

Vicky, as her confidante, felt this the most strongly.

“Our Black Feather Society… Vicky, I will never give up.”

For some reason, Edith seemed a little tired. Recently, she had switched from her favorite black tea to coffee.

Although she looked like a mature woman, Vicky, who was loyal to her, couldn’t help but worry.

“But realizing this now is my negligence as the president.”

“Maybe we’ve unknowingly gone astray, just like the outsiders’ evaluation of us, ‘a den of filth,’ isn’t it?”

“But that’s…”

Vicky believed that it was the price an organization had to pay to be born and prosper.

The members of the Black Feather Society needed cohesion, they needed unity. They didn’t rely on beliefs and honor like the student council, but on secrets and darkness.

Although she herself was clean, Vicky didn’t mind Edith, and of course other executives, doing… bad things to low-ranking vampires.

Besides, this was the truth of the vampire race, wasn’t it?

The history of vampires was like this, and it was still like this now, no one could change this reality.

Edith waved her hand, stopping Vicky from continuing.

“The principal’s speech is about to begin, and that person hasn’t arrived yet.”

Edith diverted Vicky’s attention to the podium in the distance.

Vicky also knew very well who the person the president was referring to was.

The current student council president, Wen Weiran.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her the former president Li Lige’s prized student.

But recently, Edith had heard an incredibly shocking piece of news…

…

On the podium of the grand hall stood Principal Winona, with her soft, flaxen, slightly curly hair.

She greeted all the students with a calm smile and then began her speech.

The biggest feeling after becoming an adult should be “having no choice.”

Standing in a certain position, you had to do certain things, you had to be dignified and elegant.

Sometimes, Winona also missed the time when she and First Snow roamed and explored the forest, searching for ancient ruins, looking for traces of magic that contained ancient information.

Playing and having fun, feeling the vitality of life.

But that time was gone forever.

First Snow, unwilling to understand this, naturally sought out a girl like Adele who could make her happy.

So Winona was very eager to find the girl who might be a bad influence on First Snow.

On the other hand, she had complicated feelings towards that girl.

Because she knew that the culprit behind all this was clearly her own neglect and indifference towards First Snow.

“…That concludes my speech. Next, please welcome…”

Winona returned to her seat on the podium. She saw a lazy cat sleeping soundly at her feet, its soft wings pressed tightly against its back.

First Snow was both playful and sleepy. Her record was sleeping for 22 hours a day and then spending the remaining two hours playing.

A long time ago, Winona even thought that the kitten was sick and took her to the doctor.

A doctor in the magic world who specialized in treating magical creatures, but the doctor didn’t consider herself a veterinarian.

Because she believed that magical creatures had intelligence no less than any human and shouldn’t be called “beasts.”

The doctor spent a long time but couldn’t find the reason why the Cat-Bird was always sleeping.

Just when they were both at a loss, First Snow suddenly stretched comfortably in front of the wide-eyed doctor and young Winona.

Then she flew off to find food, making a mess of the doctor’s house.

But the way the little Cat-Bird munched on the dried meat in the end was still incredibly cute and amusing.

Shaking her head gently, Winona looked away and scanned the students in the hall.

She was sure that among them, someone had been in contact with First Snow, someone had received a gift from First Snow.

As for the identity of that person, unlike ordinary people, she didn’t believe in the legend that Cat-Birds had the ability to find the “chosen one.”

If a person’s fate could be determined from the beginning, that would be the scariest thing for Winona.

She thought that the reason more people were willing to believe this legend was purely because her own achievements were reflected on First Snow.

It had nothing to do with First Snow, the lazy cat.

When Winona’s gaze swept across the hall, Adele lowered her head guiltily, but fortunately, the principal didn’t notice this detail.

She was no longer suspicious, but somewhat certain that the staff must belong to the principal.

And… it was stolen by First Snow!

She had become an accomplice to this silly cat!

But to ask Adele to apologize to Principal Winona and return the staff now, the girl was reluctant from the bottom of her heart.

She would take it one step at a time.

It was a pity that the staff was much larger than 300 cubic centimeters, otherwise, Adele could have hidden it in her spatial ring.

However, it was worth mentioning that Adele had already found the best use for this spatial ring.

It was to store her phone!

The volume of a phone was only about 50 cubic centimeters.

And a small knife might be even smaller.

If she hid these important things inside, although Adele didn’t think she would encounter that kind of clichéd “kidnapping” scenario, after all, everyone knew the fate of Amaterasu Kuro and Tsukimi Shiro… it was always better to be safe than sorry.

Imagine, if Adele hid her phone or a small knife in the spatial ring, when she encountered danger, she could summon them as tools for communication or self-defense.

Very useful!

The mobilization meeting ended successfully, and then the students went to their respective teachers to receive their tasks and meet their partners.

Although Adele would become a lone wolf player in the future, for now, she would still obediently follow the teachers’ arrangements.

She and Tang Linlang received their tasks one after another.

Tang Linlang immediately shared her task with Adele.

“Looking for a kappa???”

“Yes, it’s a very common task. Actually, kappa is a general term for foreign races related to water. In most cases, what we find are kappa.”

“But it doesn’t matter if we can’t find them, as long as we fill out the internship logbook, the teachers will usually be lenient.”

“Adele, what’s your task?”

“Maybe searching for traces of foreign races, even finding a hair would be enough to report back.”

Adele guessed casually until she opened her task page.

It clearly stated that she was to go to a certain government agency and do some work related to organizing text archives.

Adele was speechless, then she seemed to have realized something and looked up in Celeste’s direction.

At this moment, the golden-haired girl also looked back, giving her Master a gentle smile that yearned for a reward.

As if saying, “I did it, Master, you have to reward me well~”

In Celeste’s eyes, her Master was too weak, and it was very dangerous to be close to foreign races.

So she bribed someone and changed Adele’s original task to ensure her Master’s safety.

Adele forced a smile, her lips twitching.

A reward, she could give her a reward!

She would definitely… “reward” her well~!
