Chapter 112: The “Proposal” at Dawn

“A gift… for me?” Adele’s eyes widened slightly, then filled with delight. “Where is it, where is it~ Let me see!”

A girl’s modesty was troublesome and useless.

Adele firmly believed in this, and Tang Linlang loved it about her.

She felt that Adele was a completely different type of person from herself.

If it were her, she would definitely hesitate, unable to utter a single word, and even say something like “It’s too expensive, I can’t accept it,” which would ruin the mood.

Because the point of giving a gift was to see the other person’s surprised and happy expression when they received it, to hope that the other person would feel warmth and happiness from their actions.

Refusing at this time, thinking it was polite and modest, was actually disappointing.

Tang Linlang just wanted Adele to need her.

To need her directly and frankly was the best.

In any aspect.

Friendship…

Material things…

Even physically…

“Okay, I’ll show you.”

Tang Linlang smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners. She had a faint scent of leaves about her.

Perhaps not as strong and alluring as the scent of flowers, but it was refreshing and reassuring.

Tang Linlang reached out to unzip the new LV bag she had just bought.

She wanted to take something out of it.

But because she was nervous, the zipper got stuck at first.

But it wasn’t entirely Tang Linlang’s fault.

Although these luxury goods were impeccable in terms of appearance and craftsmanship, at least they didn’t treat the rich as fools, their practicality was questionable.

Well, luxury goods were all about the atmosphere, for practicality, you still needed affordable bags.

Adele didn’t rush her, she just looked at Tang Linlang gently, full of anticipation.

Tang Linlang finally conquered the troublesome golden zipper, and she slid the zipper pull, shaped like the connected letters “LV,” to the bottom with a sigh of relief.

The girl swore that this was the last time she would use this bag!

But the process was difficult, and the result was beautiful, that was enough.

Tang Linlang carefully took out a small black gift box from her bag.

It was square, made of velvet, with an opening in the front, waiting to be opened.

However, the moment Adele saw the gift, her eyes trembled violently.

She couldn’t help but gulp.

Oh my god! This couldn’t be…!

Wasn’t this too fast! Linlang!

Even if you were a “demolition money recipient” now, she wasn’t that materialistic, meow!

Adele was so surprised that she even started using First Snow’s verbal tic.

If they were to get engaged… would the academy really not intervene!

Tang Linlang didn’t notice Adele’s sudden change in expression.

She just smiled and opened the square box in front of Adele with a “click.”

Lying on the satin lining was a silver ring made of a strange crystal.

Ahhh! It really was a diamond ring!

This had gone beyond the scope of a gift, rushing towards a far too distant future!

Adele felt like she was suffocating.

It was like the fish you were raising in your pond suddenly jumped out and said it wanted to spend the rest of its life with you.

The surrounding students who noticed this scene also stopped and looked at them in amazement.

Someone suddenly shouted,

“Say yes!”

Then came a chorus of “Say yes!” surrounding Adele and Tang Linlang.

Watching the excitement was obviously not a trait unique to humans.

Rather… it was the nature of all creatures and foreign races in the world!

Even the passerby students who didn’t know what was going on, who couldn’t even enter the encirclement, who didn’t know what was happening and couldn’t see the excitement firsthand, still joined in and started shouting,

“Say yes!”

“Say yes!”

…

In fact, the situation had already far exceeded Tang Linlang’s expectations.

She stammered,

“A-Adele… I-I don’t know, this is…”

Seeing her like this, even though Adele was the most shocked one at first, she quickly reacted and understood.

Obviously, it was Tang Linlang’s clumsiness that caused this misunderstanding!

And the ring in front of her wasn’t an engagement ring or a proposal ring.

It could be seen from the fact that the stone inlaid on it wasn’t a diamond, but a magic stone containing magic power, faintly emitting a faint light.

Its real purpose must be something else.

So the next moment, Adele, regaining her composure, grabbed Tang Linlang’s wrist, who was still dumbfounded.

She took Tang Linlang’s hand and led her through the crowd.

Tang Linlang instinctively looked at Adele’s back, who was standing firmly in front of her, and couldn’t help but be mesmerized.

The students who were left behind thought that the two of them had become a couple and started cheering loudly.

“Wohoooo!”

…

The scene changed to a secluded grove.

Adele was panting heavily, while Tang Linlang, on the other hand, was fine except for her slightly rapid heartbeat and flushed cheeks.

The difference in physical strength…

Why was even Linlang stronger than her!

“Adele… I’m sorry, I messed up…”

Adele waved her hand, trying to smile reassuringly at Tang Linlang.

Even though that smile looked a bit forced.

“I-it’s okay, what is that? Don’t tell me it’s really an engagement ring or something.”

“If it was from you, I might actually consider it~”

After realizing that Tang Linlang didn’t have that intention, Adele became bolder and started teasing her.

She was the kind of person who would “tease you relentlessly but refuse to be touched,” making people’s teeth itch.

But for Tang Linlang, it wasn’t her teeth that itched, but her heart…

But Tang Linlang also understood that it was just a joke from Adele.

So her expression was a bit bitter, and she lowered her head and said,

“This is… a spatial ring I got for you, Adele.”

“Although the space inside is very small, only about 300 cubic centimeters.”

But Tang Linlang felt that this size was just right.

It was the size of her entire heart.

Adele’s eyes widened slightly, flickering with a strange light.

Although she had already guessed that it might be a spatial ring, when she actually heard it, Adele couldn’t help but feel shocked and ecstatic.

A spatial ring with a volume of 300 cubic centimeters, it sounded a bit shabby.

But Adele knew… this thing was priceless!

Let alone 300 cubic centimeters, even a storage space the size of a coin would be enough to make people fight over it.

Perhaps because of the prevalence of spatial rings in many novel settings, it had become less impressive and seemed cheap.

Often, they would have storage spaces of tens of cubic meters or even larger, and in the end, even boundless, the space inside the ring had no limits, the protagonist could store anything they wanted.

That was too crude and brainless.

But in reality, spatial rings were extremely rare, and space stones had always been very scarce.

Having a spatial ring was equivalent to having a separate small world.

Just like the universe in a nutshell, for the space inside a spatial ring, you were the creator of that world.

Therefore, Adele’s reaction was very genuine.

“Such a precious treasure, is it… really for me?”

Tang Linlang nodded without hesitation.

“Yes.”

“It’s too precious… really too precious.”

Adele still couldn’t help but murmur.

She couldn’t help but ask about its price.

Tang Linlang thought carefully and found that it was difficult to measure with ordinary money.

So she used a substitute to describe it.

“It’s probably… worth a building in Tangchen One.”

“Tang Tang Tang… what’s Tangchen One!?”

“Ah, it’s the planning for the area after our street was demolished.”

“They’re going to build the most luxurious high-end residential area in Dongdu there. I heard from my father that they’re going to call it… Tangchen One! The Tang family will probably get half of the residential complex.”

Tangchen One, and half of the residential complex??

“…I’m speechless.”

Adele was completely convinced by this magical world.

But then she stared at Tang Linlang intently, making her feel a chill down her spine.

• Adele stopped, her face showing an expression of both joy and sadness; her lips moved, but she didn’t make a sound.

Her attitude finally became respectful and sad, she called out clearly,

“Miss Tang!…”

Tang Linlang seemed to shiver, she knew that there was now a sad barrier between them.

She couldn’t speak either.

“…A-Adele! Stop it… this isn’t funny!”

Tears welled up in Tang Linlang’s eyes, she was afraid of becoming distant from Adele.

If they were to become that kind of relationship, she would rather stay poor forever!

“Ahem, just kidding~ Linlang isn’t ‘Miss Tang’.”

“Linlang is my Linlang!”

My dazzling Linlang~

Hearing Adele’s comfort and explanation, Tang Linlang pursed her lips and nodded.

Seeing Tang Linlang like this, Adele’s heart warmed.

Silly girl, how many people would abandon their wives and children after becoming rich, eager to sever all ties with their past, just to become someone superior?

Only you would be willing to give up even immense wealth for a relationship.

Adele took the spatial ring from Tang Linlang and carefully put it on her left ring finger.

Then she hugged Tang Linlang, whose face was flushed red, gently.

The bodies of the two delicate young girls pressed tightly against each other.

They didn’t separate for a long time.

Until the bell rang for class.

The two of them woke up as if from a dream.

Finally, Adele took Tang Linlang’s hand and they ran towards their classroom, their skirts swaying.

Fortunately, they weren’t too late.

With the homeroom teacher’s permission, Adele and Tang Linlang returned to their seats.

The teacher on the podium was talking about the upcoming internship task mobilization meeting.

But the students below were gossiping and spreading the shocking news that had emerged this morning.

“Have you heard?”

“About the public proposal in the academy this morning?”

“Yes, yes! I’m so envious! It’s so romantic!”

“Do you know who the two protagonists are?”

“I don’t know, I only heard that they’re junior girls.”

“Juniors? Aren’t we juniors?”

“Do you think it could be someone from our class?”

“Haha, that’s impossible!”

“…”

Tang Linlang listened to the surrounding discussions, her cheeks burning as if they were about to emit steam.

At the same time, she wished she could bury her head in the sand.

If only she could become an ostrich, unable to see or hear anything.

It was all her fault for being so stupid… causing such a big misunderstanding for Adele…

Would Adele blame her?

But Adele wore the spatial ring she gave her on her left ring finger.

That position, under normal circumstances, meant that the girl was already engaged…

Did Adele know this when she wore it… or did she just think it was convenient to wear it there?

The girl’s thoughts were a mess, and she was incredibly embarrassed.

She simply lay down on her desk and covered her head, skipping half of the morning reading class.

It wasn’t until someone gently shook her arm that Tang Linlang raised her dazed eyes.

Seeing that it was Adele, Tang Linlang’s consciousness instantly cleared, and she sat up straight.

“…What’s wrong, Adele?”

“Um, I’m here to remind you that it’s time for the mobilization meeting.”

Adele’s face still had her signature innocent and alluring smile.

At the same time, she pointed around, and Tang Linlang then realized that the vampire students around them had basically all left in pairs. Only she and Adele, who had stayed to wait for her, were left in the classroom.

“Are you feeling unwell, Linlang?”

Adele asked softly with concern, her hand reaching out to touch Tang Linlang’s forehead.

“It does feel a little warm.”

But Tang Linlang looked away and turned her cheek away in embarrassment.

“No… I’m fine.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“…I’m fine.”

Tang Linlang stood up and urged, perhaps to hide her true feelings,

“Then let’s go, Adele.”

“Okay.”

The two of them walked towards the academy’s grand hall, where the mobilization meeting was being held.

This first internship task for the freshmen had to have some sense of ceremony.

But before they could even take a few steps while chatting and laughing, a tall girl with long golden hair, wearing a school uniform, looked at them coldly from the doorway of a nearby classroom.

Her eyes flashed with hostility when they landed on Tang Linlang’s face.

But when they landed on Adele, the hostility subsided, replaced by a gentle affection.

“Adele, let’s go together.”

Celeste completely ignored Tang Linlang’s presence and invited Adele with a smile.

This almost provocative act made Tang Linlang furious.

It was like she and her girlfriend were walking down the street, and then a blonde jerk suddenly came over and hit on her girlfriend!

In a sense… Celeste really was a blonde jerk.

Adele didn’t respond immediately, but looked at the pretentious Celeste with interest.

Celeste calmly accepted the scrutiny from her “Master,” but her heart was already pounding with excitement.

She even longed for her “Master” to continue looking at her with contempt, seeing through her true colors, and then chuckling.

Just that chuckle alone would make Celeste’s heart melt.

“Celeste…?”

“But you Sequence Twos have your own seats, at the front.”

“It’s different from us Sequence Fives. Sorry, I don’t want to walk with you today.”

Hearing Adele’s words, Tang Linlang instantly felt relieved.

As expected, Adele wouldn’t be swayed by this blonde jerk!

Tang Linlang was right about this.

In reality, it was the blonde jerk who was swayed by Adele…

“I can change for you, I’m willing to sit with you.”

Celeste said sincerely.

But Adele could only sigh helplessly.

“You can change yourself, but you can’t change the prejudice of the world.”

“Sorry, Celeste, please don’t bother me anymore.”

With that, Adele and Tang Linlang brushed past Celeste.

Tang Linlang turned her head curiously and saw Celeste with a sad expression, her fists clenched tightly.

Even though they were rivals in love, Tang Linlang still felt a little sorry for Celeste at this moment.

But it was great that Adele could recognize reality.

The vampire race had a strict hierarchy, and it was difficult for different classes to overcome the prejudice of the world and be together.

Even if they did get together, they would eventually end up unhappy because of the huge difference in their social status.

But humans were different.

The trend of free love had spread throughout the continents, taking root and sprouting in the hearts of young men and women.

Tang Linlang swore that she would only treat Adele as her equal, or even someone of higher social status.

In the slang of the Eastern world, there was a saying called “henpecked.”

It referred to “someone who was easily influenced by their wife and listened to her.”

If that day ever came, Tang Linlang would definitely be Adele’s “henpecked husband.”

Thinking about this secretly, Tang Linlang glanced at Adele’s left ring finger.

Instantly, her confidence in that future increased.

Adele and Tang Linlang soon arrived at the entrance of the academy’s grand hall.

Before this, Celeste had been following Adele like a shadow, like a lovesick puppy, watching her from afar.

Seeing her like this, even Tang Linlang couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

At least among the vampires, with their strict hierarchy and emphasis on order, blood nobles like Celeste, who were willing to respect Adele, were very few… weren’t they?

But Tang Linlang still disliked Celeste and the others.

These vampire Sequence Ones had no concept of human rights or respect, they always acted on instinct, doing terrible things to Adele…

Unfortunately, Tang Linlang’s strength was low, otherwise, she would definitely protect Adele.

But for now, the girl could only lie low and accumulate strength.

Thinking about this, among the messed-up vampires, a vampire like Celeste was truly a breath of fresh air.

Adele didn’t know what was going on in Tang Linlang’s mind.

She was just quite satisfied with her puppy’s performance.

She should reward her with a “bone” sometime~

Chapter 111: Linlang’s Gift

Under the moonlit sky, Winona’s residence.

A beautiful estate allocated exclusively to her by the academy.

From afar, one could see the castle-like villa within the estate.

Winona herself preferred a more modern style.

But the humans seemed to think that mages should have a mage’s aura, so they made it so solemn.

In addition to serving as Principal Winona’s living quarters, this villa also functioned as an alchemy lab, a treasure vault, an observatory, and more.

It was one of the forbidden areas of the entire academy. Principal Winona had set up multiple magic circles to prevent disturbances.

These circles could sense the identity of intruders and choose to allow passage or attack.

Of course, it wasn’t as mysterious as others imagined.

Actually, these magic circles could only sense Winona herself and First Snow, the Cat-Bird.

Anyone other than Winona and the Cat-Bird would be judged as an intruder and attacked indiscriminately by the circles.

The deeper into the estate, the more layers of magic circles were activated, and the stronger the attacks the intruder would suffer.

No one would dare to risk facing a legendary mage and try to steal from Winona’s residence.

It was even more impossible to sneak in and take the treasures inside without anyone noticing.

However, in the dead of night, Winona looked at the display cabinet containing all the staffs she had used from the past to the present, staring at the empty space on the top shelf, lost in thought.

If Winona remembered correctly, there should be a third-grade staff displayed there, one that had accompanied her through her youth until she received a new staff from her mentor at the magic academy.

Perhaps in terms of value, it was far inferior to the later collections.

But in terms of sentimental value, for the nostalgic Winona, it clearly held an extraordinary significance.

Moreover, it was in Winona’s hands that it was successfully transformed from a third-grade rare staff to a fourth-grade legacy staff by engraving magic patterns on it.

Yet, such a valuable item was stolen from within.

At the same time, a certain Cat-Bird who should have been sleeping soundly at home was also “missing.”

And the magic circles weren’t triggered by any intruders.

So the answer was obvious.

After a long silence, Winona murmured, with a calm but somewhat helpless tone,

“At least find a replacement and put it there.”

“Such blatant theft from under my own roof makes things difficult for me.”

What should she do about her cat being so brazenly disloyal?

Shaking her head slightly, Principal Winona didn’t say anything more, her emotions didn’t fluctuate much, and she turned to leave.

But the moment she left, a similar staff in another storage room suddenly levitated and flew over, finally landing steadily on the empty space on the top shelf of the display cabinet.

Everything seemed as before, nothing had happened except for the dust in the air changing position.

………………

The whole city was asleep, but there was still a lonely soul drinking alone in the dead of night.

She looked up at the sky bathed in cold moonlight, a huge full moon hanging high in the sky.

A silhouette shaped like a cat, but with wings on its back, flew across the middle of the moon.

The woman was startled awake from her drunken stupor and hurriedly rubbed her eyes.

Looking at the sky again, the moon was as before, everything seemed like just an illusion.

At the same time, First Snow soared through the cold wind. Feeling shy, she didn’t return home through the main entrance of the villa, but “whooshed” into the chimney on the attic, then fell with a thud, covered in soot.

“Cough… cough!”

First Snow, who landed on her butt on the soft carpet in the attic, couldn’t help but cough.

The little white cat had now become a little gray cat.

Then she used cleaning magic, thoroughly cleaning the chimney that would even make Santa Claus frown.

All the dust disappeared instantly, everything was clean and new.

This satisfied the slightly germaphobic cat-girl.

But come to think of it, even though she had a cleanliness obsession, she still chose to enter the room through the chimney.

She was really shy about what happened tonight… so shy that she definitely didn’t want Winona to know!

It was worth mentioning that the Santa Claus First Snow mentioned did exist. He was an old mage with a unique hobby who lived in the Arctic Circle.

A long, long time ago, he was keen on riding his magic reindeer on the night of December 24th every year, delivering gifts to good children who were recognized by the benevolent staff.

Later, he stopped doing it, obviously, tossing and turning all night wasn’t good for an old man’s health.

But thanks to this, the legend of Santa Claus remained in the mundane world.

In fact, behind many ancient legends were actually the creations of old mages from the magic world, and a considerable part also came from foreign races.

First Snow tiptoed out of the attic, relieved that her return hadn’t been discovered by Xiao Wei.

Next, as long as she returned to her room, she would have succeeded.

Everything that happened tonight wouldn’t be known by Xiao Wei, and she wouldn’t have to listen to her lectures, meow!

Adele was right, how could a kitten of her age sleep, meow!

Not wasting a beautiful night, going out to play and have fun with Adele was the most natural way of life for a pubescent kitten, meow!

Adele, you’re a bad influence on kittens, you’re a terrible person!

However, just as First Snow thought everything was foolproof and was about to enter her room with silent cat steps,

“Ahem.”

A sudden cough and the inexplicably lit chandelier above her head made First Snow freeze.

Then she turned around, and as expected, Principal Winona in her mage robes was standing there.

“X-Xiao Wei!?”

“Why are you still awake so late, meow!”

First Snow put her paws on her hips. She was the one who got caught, but she turned around and questioned Winona righteously.

What a bold little bad cat.

“Compared to whether I’m asleep or not, it’s more important where First Snow went tonight, isn’t it?”

Seeing that Winona wasn’t fooled, First Snow’s气势immediately weakened.

Her pupils started to dart around.

Winona knew in her heart that this was a sign that the little cat-girl was about to lie.

But she chuckled inwardly and didn’t expose it.

As expected, First Snow came up with the best excuse her little brain could think of in the shortest amount of time,

“Meow… I went… I went fishing by the lake, meow!”

“Is it really that simple?”

“It’s that simple, meow!”

First Snow puffed up her cheeks, acting like “if Xiao Wei didn’t believe her, she would be angry.”

She thought this excuse was perfect. Could Winona really go and ask the fish in the lake?

But Winona could actually use magic to make the fish in the lake tell her the truth to a certain extent.

But if she was that serious, First Snow would definitely be unhappy.

Helplessly, Winona could only sigh softly in her heart, then said,

“I’ll believe you this time, go to bed early.”

As for the missing staff, First Snow didn’t want to talk about it, and Winona didn’t want to get to the bottom of it and make First Snow feel ashamed and sad.

Although their relationship was that of friends who grew up together and had a deep bond, First Snow was childish, while Winona was mature.

First Snow was willful, while Winona was rational.

Therefore, Winona’s current mood was actually more like a “mother” facing a willful daughter.

Her willful daughter had grown up and started to have her own social circle, her own little secrets.

She wouldn’t tell her “mother” everything like she used to.

At this time, as a “mature adult,” Winona looked at First Snow, who was starting to grow up mentally, with a happy and supportive attitude, accepting her growth.

But on the other hand, she was worried about whether First Snow would be deceived by bad girls, whether she would be exposed to bad things and behaviors.

The current “staying out all night” and “missing staff incident” all proved that First Snow might have made “bad friends.”

But she couldn’t jump to conclusions, at least Winona hadn’t met the “friend” First Snow knew.

At the same time, she also knew very well that facing First Snow, who was in her Cat-Bird adolescence, her discipline and questioning might only intensify First Snow’s rebelliousness.

Making the distance between them grow wider and wider.

So facing First Snow, who didn’t know she was wrong and wanted to cover it up with lies, Winona’s choice was still to believe her clumsy lies.

She turned and left, not wanting First Snow to feel uneasy.

First Snow’s hanging heart did gradually relax with Winona’s departure.

The naive little cat-girl was still secretly proud of her cleverness.

She even came up with such a good excuse as going fishing by the lake!

But First Snow didn’t know how to fish, meow.

She only knew how to steal fish from the buckets of those bald uncles in the academy.

First Snow thought that these teachers and professors hadn’t noticed her actions.

Actually, they just didn’t care because First Snow was the principal’s Cat-Bird.

Fishing was also about social etiquette.

“Xiao Wei, you should go to bed early too, meow!”

First Snow shouted caringly, looking at Winona leaving downstairs.

“I know, I will.”

“Don’t drink coffee, meow!”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Winona smiled helplessly.

“I know, I won’t.”

Even though she said that, First Snow knew that Xiao Wei was the best liar.

She always lied to her, saying that she would play with her when she had time, play with her when she had time…

But many, many times, she didn’t have time…

The lonely First Snow could only go out and play on her own, make friends on her own.

In a way, the reason why First Snow became this “rebellious girl” who stayed out all night and even stole a staff for someone else was because Winona was too busy and didn’t have time to care for her.

Wasn’t this even more like a “busy working mother” and a “teenage daughter who lacked companionship and went astray”!

With a “bang,” First Snow gently closed the door.

Exhausted from playing with Adele, she could finally get a good night’s sleep.

But the comfort of being with Adele was still alluring, meow.

Curled up in bed, First Snow couldn’t help but think of Adele, gradually falling asleep.

At the same time, Winona returned to her office and continued to work as the principal.

After sunrise, it was time to assign internship tasks to the first-year students.

As the principal, Winona would naturally participate.

At that time, she would carefully look for that potential child who might be a bad influence on First Snow.

Since that person needed a staff, they were most likely a student in the academy.

She just didn’t know if First Snow had given the staff to her as a gift on her own initiative.

Or was it that First Snow had actually been instigated by her to commit theft and become a little thief cat?

If it was the former, Winona didn’t mind First Snow giving away her belongings as gifts to express friendship.

But if it was the latter, Winona wouldn’t let that person off easily.

The consequences of corrupting First Snow were far greater than losing a bit of wealth or treasure.

But that person should know that First Snow was her Cat-Bird.

Therefore, she should know very well that the staff might be related to Winona.

So if that person was smart, she shouldn’t be so brazen as to carry the staff around with her.

But it didn’t matter, Winona could sense who had touched her staff, who had been tainted by the aura of her staff.

At that time, she would carefully observe what kind of person they were.

At this moment, in Adele’s bedroom.

The girl was hugging the “legacy” level staff, sleeping soundly.

Although she had tried to persuade First Snow to stay, saying that she could help her “climb the ranks”~, she was rejected by the blushing First Snow.

• “I-I can’t anymore, meow!”

It seemed that she had been mistaken for a bad sister who wanted to do something more to her.

But Adele could guarantee, that wasn’t a misunderstanding~

………………

Early in the morning, thanks to the alarm clock fulfilling its duty, otherwise, according to Adele’s habit, she would probably have slept in until the sun was shining on her butt, thinking she was still on vacation.

Ring ring~ ring ring~

With a precise karate chop, Adele swatted the alarm clock away.

With a “thud,” the alarm clock gloriously fulfilled its mission and died.

The beautiful girl with stunning features got out of bed sleepily, her delicate body bathed in the faint golden light of dawn, looking ethereal and beautiful.

“Ah woo~”

After a simple stretch, Adele finally came back to life, her consciousness becoming clear.

She raised her hand and wiped away the tear that had formed in the corner of her eye from yawning.

Then she got out of bed to wash up. Looking at herself in the mirror, wearing only a shirt with her lower body bare, the girl couldn’t help but blush.

Another day of being amazed by her own beauty.

She didn’t know which girl would be lucky enough to enjoy it~

If she wasn’t living alone, but with someone else, at this moment, she would probably be hugged from behind by someone, and then they would start cuddling and doing some strange things, right?

Adele’s mind wandered as she brushed her teeth, imagining a voluptuous woman with long golden hair hugging her slender waist from behind, resting her chin on her delicate shoulder, rubbing her cheek with her nose and lips, seductively calling out “Master~,” shamelessly acting spoiled.

If it was Celeste, she would definitely do that.

A spoiled puppy.

“Gurgle gurgle, pfft!”

After rinsing her mouth, Adele spat the foamy water into the sink.

Perhaps the reason she had such a fantasy was because she missed her puppy a little.

It had been a while, and she missed her dearly.

Although this “while” was actually less than two or three days.

She and Winona were completely different types of women.

If it was Principal Winona, she would value responsibility more, her focus was on the public good.

That’s why she always seemed busy and tired, as the “Stargazer,” she strived to be the guiding star for humanity.

She didn’t even have time to play with her cat.

But for Adele, she wouldn’t let First Snow be lonely, wouldn’t make her puppy wait.

Her focus was on private matters, on the people and things she loved.

But it couldn’t be said who was right or wrong, it was just a difference in values and life experiences.

Adele finished washing up, went back to her bedroom to change into her school uniform, and was ready to head to class.

Of course, she could also buy a sandwich from the canteen on the way as breakfast.

She didn’t bring the staff that First Snow had given her.

Firstly, she didn’t want to be too flashy.

Secondly, it wasn’t impossible that First Snow had done something bad, she didn’t give her the staff as a gift, but “stole” it for her.

The staff originally belonged to the principal.

If that was the case, wouldn’t Adele be walking into a trap by bringing the staff to school?

But even though Adele understood this in her heart, she was still willing to be First Snow’s accomplice.

She was a greedy girl after all.

………………

“G-good morning, Adele!”

The female voice coming from behind, filled with both nervousness and surprise, made Adele, who was munching on a piece of bread, turn around involuntarily.

She saw Tang Linlang, her eyes shining brightly, and she always gave people a feeling of hard work.

But unlike usual, there was an additional air of “nobility” about her.

It wasn’t just because the girl’s bag and shoes had all been upgraded.

Her originally youthful and lively twintails had also been untied and styled into the sleek, straight hair of a wealthy young lady. Her long sideburns framed her face, and her thin bangs were parted to the sides, revealing her smooth forehead.

To put it simply, she had a bit of a “Kaguya-sama” vibe.

Tang Linlang, Adele’s classmate.

And also a descendant of a vampire hunter.

The newly rich “demolition money recipient”~

Adele’s eyes widened, looking at Tang Linlang’s current appearance in surprise.

Tang Linlang, noticing Adele’s gaze, was very shy, but also a little expectant of Adele’s reaction, so she asked,

“H-how is it… does it look bad?”

Adele pulled the bread out of her mouth.

“It looks great! Which Tony teacher did your hair? Introduce me to them next time~”

“Mmm… okay!”

Shopping, buying clothes, and getting a perm, were these the legendary best friends?

Tang Linlang’s hanging heart finally relaxed.

The change in her appearance was accepted by Adele… that was great.

The girl’s thoughts were simple, she just wanted to change her past frumpiness, to become a girl worthy of Adele.

So during Adele’s sick leave, she tried to make a change, going to beauty salons, taking classes to learn the etiquette of a young lady.

Doing many, many… clumsy but heartfelt things.

Oh right, she had also prepared a gift for Adele!

She was going to give it to Adele personally when Adele returned to school.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to run into Adele on her way to class.

Chapter 110: Their Little Secret

Adele finally got to touch the extraordinary magic staff.

Unlike First Snow, who casually tossed it on the ground because it was “too heavy,” Adele treated the staff as if it were her first love, with utmost care and gentleness.

She held it in her palms, reluctant to even stroke it.

As for her previous sleepiness, it was completely washed away by the excitement of having the staff.

Adele was full of energy.

But this was understandable. For every magic apprentice, a magic staff was a coveted item.

Its main function was to amplify the mage’s own magic power, and using the staff as a medium could also better communicate with the elements, making spells form faster.

Although for top-level powerhouses, the auxiliary effect of a staff was limited, for Adele, having a staff or not was the difference between a “whale” and an “ordinary player”!

Anyone who had been abused by “whales” in the arena, experiencing that overwhelming numerical advantage, would understand the importance of a “staff” just like Adele!

As everyone knew, Adele only had a magic refinement level of 0.5.

But if she added the staff, she could at least double it, reaching a magic refinement level of 1.

In other words, she became a 1!

Was this not enough to show the necessity of a staff?

However, Adele was too enthusiastic about the staff, which led to her neglecting First Snow.

First Snow, sitting on the soft carpet in her girl form, holding a cat teaser in her hand, was very dissatisfied. Her puffed-up cheeks became two cute snowballs.

“Meow! Play with me, meow!”

Even her voice became a little whiny, showing how unhappy she was.

Was that stick more charming than her!

Seeing First Snow’s rare tantrum, Adele realized that she had indeed been too focused on the staff and forgotten that it was actually First Snow, the cat-girl, who brought it to her.

For this alone, shouldn’t she open a few cans of tuna for First Snow?

“Okay, okay, I’m coming, I’ll play with you until you’re satisfied~”

“But try not to make too much noise, or it will disturb the… sister next door, meow.”

When Adele was with First Snow, her verbal tic would also temporarily become ending her sentences with “meow.”

“Okay, meow!”

First Snow happily raised her tail.

It wasn’t wagging its tail because when a cat wagged its tail, it actually meant it was angry or annoyed.

A cat’s truly relaxed and happy state was when its tail was held high, raised, and its paws were light and nimble when it walked.

It was dogs that wagged their tails when they were happy.

Like… Celeste?

Adele played with First Snow for a long time, until First Snow was tired and curled up comfortably in her arms.

Adele gently brushed away the strands of hair that were clinging to the girl’s fair, pink cheeks.

Adele was also quite tired, but it was far from outweighing the surprise First Snow had given her.

So she could tolerate the cat’s willfulness, sacrifice her sleep time, and satisfy First Snow’s need for companionship.

Yes, the need for companionship. Cats needed the company of friends, otherwise, they would be lonely, meow.

Although most people regarded First Snow as Principal Winona’s pet, only Winona and First Snow knew that they were friends.

Friends who had been together since they were young, growing up side by side.

Unfortunately, as Winona became stronger and her status in the magic world rose, becoming the youngest legendary mage and the principal of Cromwell Academy, her personal time was severely limited, and she could no longer satisfy First Snow’s need for companionship like she used to.

So the students often saw the lonely First Snow catching butterflies in the garden, spreading her fluffy belly on the roof of the castle-like house to bask in the sun.

Occasionally, she would go to the artificial lake in the academy and steal the small fish from the buckets of the old professors who were fishing.

Ahem, could a cat eating fish be called stealing? It wasn’t stealing, it was… taking, taking fish, meow!

She would also encounter girls like Li Lige, and then peacefully enjoy their “offerings.”

Constantly using this method to alleviate her loneliness.

But it still couldn’t compare to the time she spent with Xiao Wei.

Why did Xiao Wei have to grow up?

The world she faced after growing up wasn’t fun at all, meow…

She wanted to find someone like Xiao Wei again, someone to accompany her, meow!

The Cat-Bird’s special ability was to recognize the chosen one.

The so-called chosen one was someone who would greatly influence the entire world in the future.

Winona, as the youngest legendary mage, the strongest genius in the magic world, was indeed worthy of this title.

But Adele… why was she the one favored by First Snow?

This was also the reason why Li Lige was so shocked.

But whether she was willing to accept it or not, it was a fact.

And Adele was completely unaware of this…

Well, the original novel mostly focused on the protagonist Adele and a few vampire characters.

The stories of other characters, such as the relationship between the youngest legendary mage and her Cat-Bird friend, didn’t appear in the main text at all.

The reason Adele could have experiences beyond the original novel was because she was truly entering this world as the protagonist. She could feel everything around her, no longer limited by the author’s perspective like before.

Similarly, she could also change everything through her influence.

Like Celeste’s ending, Li Lige’s…

But this influence was also divided into strong and weak.

Strong influence was like Celeste, directly subduing her and making her her dog.

Now, if the master said east, the obedient puppy wouldn’t dare to go west, and Celeste successfully avoided a tragic ending.

Weak influence was like Li Lige’s situation.

Although Adele said some things that could change Li Lige’s fate, whether she could truly change her fate depended entirely on Li Lige’s own decision.

………………

Adele looked at First Snow quietly.

Their current posture was quite intimate.

First Snow spread her legs and sat on Adele’s closed knees, forming an M-shaped position.

She hugged Adele’s waist tightly, her face buried in Adele’s chest, her soft cat ears twitching slightly.

Although they were small, they could still bury her face!

But if it were anyone else, Adele would definitely consider them a pervert.

But First Snow…

It felt like the little girl had no concept of boundaries between girls, so it was acceptable.

First Snow was slender, even smaller than the petite Adele.

It felt like taking care of a childish little sister.

And the little sister’s eyes were pure and innocent, her light blue eyes sparkling, looking up slightly at Adele, making Adele sigh inexplicably.

Sighing at her purity and clarity, like a jade stone seeing the light of day for the first time.

“Naughty girl.”

Adele didn’t know where this feeling came from.

Perhaps she just wanted to tease First Snow, so she said in a low and soft voice.

Unexpectedly, First Snow showed a very indignant look, puffing out her cute cheeks and pouting.

“First Snow is a good girl, meow!”

“A very good girl, meow!”

“Then, how can you prove it?”

Adele might not even know that she was unconsciously setting a trap for First Snow, but she still said it.

Hearing this, First Snow’s breathing instantly quickened.

“Prove… prove, meow…”

She muttered to herself, as if thinking about how to make Adele believe that she was the best and most obedient girl in the world.

Then, the little cat-girl’s eyes lit up.

She had an idea.

“Adele can do anything to First Snow, meow!”

“Even… even touch the feathers inside, meow…”

When she said the last sentence, First Snow’s voice obviously weakened, revealing her hesitation and shyness.

The little cat-girl probably blurted it out without thinking, and it was too late to regret it.

Feathers? The feathers inside…

Adele’s heart skipped a beat.

Come to think of it, that was indeed a place she had never touched before.

It was the part that First Snow carefully hid with her long wings, always pressed against her back.

If it was deliberately hidden, then it meant that First Snow was… very sensitive to being touched there.

However, even so, she was still willing to tell Adele about this weakness of hers.

This touched Adele’s heart.

Under normal circumstances, when one person felt another person’s good intentions, which were usually promises, they would stop according to the unspoken rules.

For example, someone might say – “For you, I’m willing to die.”

Then naturally, the other party would reply – “How could I bear to let you die? I’ve received your love.”

No matter what, they wouldn’t say “Okay, then go die”!

But for Adele…

A weakness only had meaning if it was in her hands.

So she ignored those established unspoken rules and her hand, which was resting on the girl’s slender and smooth back, slowly moved towards the inner downy feathers covered by First Snow’s wings.

Her nimble fingers gently brushed against them.

“Meow~! “

First Snow’s reaction was very strong, her whole body trembling in Adele’s arms.

But the more she trembled, the more she burrowed into Adele’s arms, her small and delicate body becoming incredibly soft, like a puddle of creamy white mud.

The little cat-girl’s pupils contracted into a vertical line. A cat’s vertical pupils only became a straight line when they were very nervous and uneasy.

First Snow’s eyes were a mixture of shock and shyness, pulled by different emotions, with a hint of catnip-induced daze.

Yes, catnip…

Adele’s touch was like catnip, alluring, but also with a hint of danger.

But this danger was sometimes also called… “excitement.”

First Snow’s downy feathers were incredibly soft, covered by her light golden wings, showing a pure white color.

Now, with Adele’s gentle strokes, they were being rearranged at will.

Under Adele’s touch, First Snow gradually lost the ability to think coherently, only whimpering and meowing, sticking out her pink tongue like a puppy, panting rapidly against Adele’s chest.

Was it that comfortable?

Adele looked at First Snow’s reaction with a playful gaze.

And her condescending, naked gaze also became one of the sources of First Snow’s increasing sensitivity.

Being… being looked at by Adele like this…

It felt like her whole body was going to… meow…

It was a place that even Xiao Wei hadn’t touched…

(Xiao Wei and First Snow were purely platonic friends, no lewd elements.)

(But Adele’s intentions towards First Snow weren’t so pure, after all, who doesn’t like cat-girls?)

“Can I continue?”

Adele asked pretentiously.

But her hands didn’t stop, she didn’t seem to have any intention of listening to First Snow’s opinion.

She was just using the question to see First Snow’s more interesting reaction.

To see her ears flapping, to see the soft white hairs on her tail stand up slightly and become fluffy due to excitement.

To see fine, fragrant beads of sweat appear on her fair cheeks.

Adele couldn’t help but taste one.

It was actually sweet…

It was already difficult for First Snow to endure the impact of that feeling rampaging within her, and now she had to endure Adele’s teasing.

“Meow… n-no… (don’t)”

“Meow!?!”

W-why did she lick her…!

First Snow’s expression was too shocked.

As for how to describe the little cat-girl’s eyes, those who had cats at home could try licking their cat.

The expression the cat showed would be the same as First Snow’s, meow.

Adele pursed her lips, her gaze shifting slightly to the side.

She clearly looked a little guilty.

“I-it’s just… to express friendship~”

Adele quickly came up with an excuse.

When it came to deceiving girls, Adele’s mind was countless times faster than usual.

If she used this ability in her studies and exams, getting accepted into a prestigious university would be a piece of cake.

“First Snow must have seen it, right? Those stray cats in the academy, all of them are fed by the students until they’re like little pigs, ahem, that’s beside the point.”

“Don’t they lick each other’s fur to express friendship?”

Adele stopped her fingers to ensure that First Snow wouldn’t lose her ability to express herself normally due to sensitivity.

The cute little cat-girl panted softly and started to recall,

“It seems… that’s right, meow. They groom each other’s fur, licking and combing with their tongues…”

“That feeling… seems to be very comfortable, meow…”

But First Snow was a slightly germaphobic Cat-Bird.

She would occasionally play with those cats.

But some of them wanted to lick First Snow, and as soon as First Snow sensed their intentions, she would immediately fly away with disgust, flapping her wings.

In short, First Snow’s attitude towards those cats was probably like looking at fools.

First Snow could be merciful and play games with these fools, it wasn’t because she was playful herself.

But letting them lick her fur… no way, meow!

But Adele was obviously different.

Adele was special…

Adele could do… anything to First Snow, meow.

Seeing that First Snow seemed to be somewhat moved by her crooked logic, her jade-like eyes rippling with seductive waves and mist, Adele couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted and even more tempted.

Although it was wrong to deceive fools, but… it was so irresistible!

Besides, she wouldn’t just bully First Snow, she would also spoil her.

Such a cute little First Snow, so pure and capable~ Who wouldn’t like her?

It was like facing a delicate flower, dewdrops wetting its soft petals, making people want to get close and smell its fragrance.

“Yes, comfortable, comfortable is enough.”

Adele hugged First Snow even tighter, her fingers continuing to tease and touch.

She even used her tongue to lick First Snow’s flushed and burning cheeks.

Making her feel her presence… overwhelming.

Completely captivating her heart.

“I’ll make First Snow comfortable, I’ll play with First Snow…”

“I’ll stay by First Snow’s side, just the two of us, only looking at First Snow…”

Staying by First Snow’s side…

Only looking at First Snow?

The cat-girl’s pupils gradually turned peach pink.

Really… is that okay, meow?

Her eyes were so easy to read, so full of longing for companionship.

A lonely and playful child.

Of course, according to human age, First Snow had probably lived for decades or even centuries.

A legally legal loli, meow.

Adele was best at reading such lonely eyes.

And she was also good at making seductive promises.

“Of course, I’ll play with First Snow.”

“I’ll do more… fun and comfortable things with First Snow.”

“But there’s one thing, First Snow, don’t tell… Principal Winona, okay?”

“…Xiao Wei?”

“Yes, don’t tell Xiao Wei.”

“Because this is our little secret~”

Chapter 109: The Best Cat in the World

One of the most admirable things about Adele was her audacity to “act even if it meant death”!

Even though she knew the consequences, that she might be subjected to who knows what by the enraged Li Lige, and that she was still a weakling who couldn’t resist at all, she still did it, without hesitation.

In the bedroom on the second floor, facing the menacing Li Lige, Adele quietly swallowed.

Then she smiled slightly, putting on a casual expression like “the weather is nice today,” and greeted her,

“G-good evening, Miss Li Lige.”

At this time, she was actually trying to play dumb and get away with it!

Did she really think Li Lige was a fool!

“Who’s saying good evening to you…!”

Li Lige’s face was flushed and patchy. Although she had washed off most of the paint, there were still some traces left.

Of course, it was mostly redness caused by her own vigorous rubbing.

As for her inner thighs, they were also feeling a cool breeze at this moment.

Fortunately, she was indoors, and there wasn’t much air circulation.

Otherwise, Li Lige would have felt what it meant to “have wind blowing from an empty cave” under her skirt!

Seeing that playing dumb and acting cute didn’t work, Adele immediately adjusted her strategy.

This time, she switched to a sincere apology.

Clutching her skirt, she lowered her head pitifully, her gaze fixed on her toes, which were pointed inwards, and of course, her white silk stockings.

“I’m sorry, it was just… a little prank.”

“It’s okay, then I’ll play a little prank on you too, how about that~”

Li Lige showed a creepy smile.

Now Adele realized that she couldn’t escape punishment.

She immediately dropped the act and picked up First Snow, the little glutton who was munching on her cat food.

She used First Snow as a shield, closed her eyes tightly, and shamefully shouted,

“First Snow, save me!”

Adele, who was both human and vampire, had actually been reduced to relying on someone else’s pet cat to save her.

This was a disgrace to the students of Cromwell Academy.

But Adele had her reasons.

There were differences between cats.

First Snow was a very precious Cat-Bird, not to mention.

And who was this “someone else”? It was the Stargazer, the principal, one of the legendary mages!

Li Lige, even if you didn’t give face to the cat, you should at least give face to the principal and let her go!

Besides, it was just paint and writing.

It wasn’t like she had actually done anything to Li Lige that those tally marks implied.

First Snow didn’t realize that she was being used as a “shield” by Adele at all.

Instead, the cute little kitty protectively waved her little paws at Li Lige.

“Meow!”

It was as if she was saying, “If you want to hurt Adele, you have to step over my claws first.”

And you know what, seeing this, Li Lige was actually helpless and gradually calmed down.

After a while, she let out a sigh and said, defeated,

“I’ll let you off this time…”

Hearing this, Adele’s eyes lit up with joy.

It felt good to have a backer!

But the backer Adele was thinking of was the principal, not this gluttonous little Cat-Bird in front of her.

In her mind, if her own power level was 0.5, then First Snow was at most 1.

Wait… why was she subconsciously thinking that she wasn’t even as good as a cat!

Adele: Ehehe~

“Not ashamed, but proud” was the perfect description for someone like Adele.

At the same time, Adele would never have thought that Li Lige really did let her go because of her backer.

But her backer was clearly this soft and cute little Cat-Bird, First Snow, who was being held in her arms!

First Snow’s strength might be far greater than people imagined. In the beginning, it might not have been the principal who protected her.

It could be said that it was First Snow who protected the principal.

Li Lige finally gave Adele and First Snow in her arms a complicated look, then left Adele’s dorm.

“Aren’t you going to stay for dinner?”

Adele actually showed some hospitality at this time.

“Hehe, no thanks, who knows what might be in the food?”

Clearly, Li Lige had also realized that something was wrong with the black tea in the conference room.

Adele pouted.

“Hmph, fine, don’t eat then.”

“First Snow and I will eat!”

“First Snow, what do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you! How about tuna sushi?”

As she spoke, Adele took out her phone and was about to order a sumptuous takeout meal.

First Snow glanced at the bowl of cat food that she had already eaten most of, then looked at Adele.

She felt speechless.

She let out a pitiful “meow.”

The clever kitten had already realized that maybe even her master’s “treat” wasn’t that sincere.

She was a completely different type of person from Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei would do everything to the best of her ability, she was also very hardworking, she would rather go hungry herself than let First Snow be poorly fed.

As for Adele…

First Snow was already prepared to be the one to support her…

“Meow meow meow… (This generation is getting worse and worse, meow…)”

But was there a possibility that it was simply because Adele was a scumbag?

But even though she said that, Adele wasn’t actually that heartless.

At least, she still cared about Li Lige’s departure.

So she randomly swiped on her phone screen, seemingly choosing takeout for dinner, but she didn’t actually look at any of the food names.

Unable to hold back anymore, Adele threw down her phone and went to the window.

She pulled open the curtains and pushed open the window. The evening sun instantly bathed her face.

Downstairs, Li Lige’s back looked slender and lonely.

She walked forward silently.

“Hey!” Adele suddenly shouted.

Li Lige’s back clearly paused, but she didn’t turn around.

Adele continued shouting, her head filled with a rush of blood.

“Don’t do anything stupid!”

“Although you’re an annoying person sometimes, I still hope… you’ll be okay.”

Adele’s voice became smaller and smaller, until only she could hear it.

After all, Li Lige’s figure had long disappeared into the setting sun.

She was walking towards the end so resolutely.

Adele could only watch, but she was powerless.

“Fool.”

After walking far, far away, Li Lige suddenly muttered to herself.

She took out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket and put them on.

She didn’t know if it was to look cool or to hide her reddened eyes.

………………

The scene returned to Adele’s room.

The girl stood by the window, her gaze slowly retracting, the emotions she revealed were no longer as carefree as usual.

Li Lige didn’t understand what Adele had done.

Adele didn’t expect her to understand, nor did she need her gratitude.

Knowing that Li Lige was the experience pack provided to her by the main plot of the novel, she was still willing to remind her, to tell her not to do anything stupid.

Otherwise, she would be robbed of all her power by bad girls like Adele.

In other words, Adele was willing to give up the stable path to strength for Li Lige, a woman she had just met.

Rich emotions and indecisiveness were always stumbling blocks for the strong and distinctive characteristics of the weak.

Adele wasn’t unaware of this, she just couldn’t go against her heart.

“Whatever happens in the future, happens. Why do I have to become strong? Who says that a transmigrated protagonist can’t be a kept woman?”

Adele puffed out her cheeks and grabbed First Snow, who had jumped onto the window sill, burying her face in the Cat-Bird’s soft fur, seeking some comfort.

In the worst-case scenario, she could be kept by First Snow.

The cute cat would never have thought that there was someone in this world who was even better at freeloading than her.

She only sensed Adele’s low mood and comforted her with soft meows.

Even the principal rarely received such comfort from her.

After all, they were fundamentally different beings.

Principal Winona had been a world-renowned genius for a long time, seemingly capable of anything. Even if she couldn’t do something temporarily, she would only think about working hard to achieve it on her own. She was a recognized top student in the magic academy.

Adele, on the other hand, was the kind of poor student who couldn’t do most things and was very worrying.

As a teacher, she would naturally pay more attention to the latter.

Because the former could do everything well on her own.

Of course, First Snow wasn’t a teacher.

But she thought that for the pitiful Adele, it wouldn’t hurt to be a teacher once, meow.

Raising a child (Winona) who didn’t need her to worry about anything was also very lonely for First Snow, meow.

Perhaps it was to respond to First Snow’s feelings that God gave her a second girl (Adele) she wanted to take care of and follow.

But this time, the girl was someone who needed First Snow to worry about everything.

………………

Sunday night, before midnight, Adele was already asleep.

She couldn’t stay up late playing games tonight, tomorrow was the day to receive internship tasks.

As a vampire, even students on sick leave had to go.

Besides, Adele didn’t plan to continue pretending to be sick.

After a long vacation, Adele suddenly missed her time in class. Sleeping was sweet, snacks were delicious, and she hadn’t seen Linlang for several days.

“Rich second generation” Tang Linlang, she was a little excited to see her.

But Adele wouldn’t change the way she interacted with Tang Linlang just because her worth had increased.

That was what Tang Linlang liked about Adele. She didn’t refuse to be friends with her when she was poor, and she didn’t change her attitude after she became rich.

Unwavering in poverty, unyielding in adversity, and uncorrupted by wealth, was the best description of Adele.

When Adele was on sick leave, Tang Linlang didn’t know about others, but at least she was always worried about Adele.

The girl went to bed early, hoping to meet Adele in her dreams.

If it was just her longing, then another girl who could actually meet Adele in dreams had been holding back for a long, long time.

Sharon, she desperately tried to control herself, not to indulge in the beauty of dreams.

Because that would only erode her will, make her fall.

Make her someone who would disappoint Adele.

Because of Adele, she was willing to embrace the cruelty of reality.

Just a door away, but they couldn’t see each other, couldn’t hug.

Sharon had recently developed the habit of sleeping against the wall.

Because that way, she could be closer to Adele, closer…

An unknown amount of time passed, and the night was silent.

• “Flutter, flutter…”

The sound of small wings flapping unsteadily, struggling to maintain balance and avoid falling from the sky, could be heard.

Outside the window of Adele’s dorm, under the moonlight, a magical creature with both feline features and hawk-like golden wings was carrying something heavy, flying from who knows where.

It seemed like the cat had reached its limit.

Finally, she gritted her teeth.

I’m going to die from exhaustion, meow!

Then a golden flash was seen, and in an instant, even the magical creature disappeared.

The next time she was seen, she was already in Adele’s room.

At the same time, a long, cylindrical object fell from the Cat-Bird’s mouth and hit the floor, the sound instantly waking Adele from her sweet dream.

“Clang!”

“Wah, what happened, what happened!”

Adele’s heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Then she turned her head and saw an innocent and cute cat face staring at her with confusion.

“First—Snow!”

Adele shouted the cat’s name angrily.

Don’t think you can disturb people’s sleep just because you’re cute!

“Meow!?”

First Snow was startled and immediately flapped her wings and flew back to avoid Adele’s reaching hands.

She was fast and agile, like an elf in the air.

“Meow meow meow!”

The little Cat-Bird anxiously tried to explain something.

But Adele couldn’t understand a single word, and she responded with some dissatisfaction,

“I told you I don’t understand cat language!”

“Why don’t you bring me a bottle of high-level potion from the principal’s collection that can make me understand the voices of all things, like in One piece, so I can experience what it’s like to be the Pirate King!”

“Meow?”

First Snow tilted her cat head in confusion.

What was “One Piece” meow…

But a potion that could make her understand the voices of all things… she could try to find it in Xiao Wei’s storeroom and bring it to Adele next time!

She also realized that she couldn’t communicate effectively with Adele in her current Cat-Bird form.

The sounds they could make were different in different forms.

A Cat-Bird could meow and chirp, but it couldn’t make human sounds, it couldn’t communicate in human language.

So the next moment, with a flash of golden light, First Snow transformed into a cat-girl and landed lightly on the ground.

She was a white-haired little girl whose beauty would captivate anyone at first glance. Even though Adele and First Snow were already familiar with each other, at this moment, in the quiet and beautiful night, Adele was still captivated by her beauty and held her breath.

Fortunately, the time she was blinded by beauty was short, and Adele quickly recovered.

Just as she was about to grumble at First Snow, with the ultimate goal of making the little cat-girl her pillow for tonight, the little cat-girl suddenly bent down and carefully picked up something that had fallen on the floor earlier.

It was the source of the “clanging” sound.

Adele’s eyes widened slightly as First Snow, with a ( • ̀ω•́ )✧ expression, handed the thing to Adele.

Adele finally recognized what First Snow was holding.

It was a… magic staff!? Made of some unknown magic material.

Even in the darkness of the night, the staff still emitted a faint starlight, as if mysterious elves were dancing around it.

This was enough to show its extraordinary nature.

It was at least… a third-grade magic staff!

In the magic world, magic staffs were divided into five grades. The first grade was called “ordinary,” only containing a small amount of magic elements.

The second grade was “advanced,” made by professional mages, and could be mass-produced.

The third grade was “rare,” requiring precious magic alchemy materials and forged by powerful mages.

The fourth grade was “legacy,” based on the third grade, but with the skills and understanding of a previous top mage imbued into it.

It was a staff that had been used by a top mage, and the magic patterns engraved and integrated into it from years of companionship and exploration of magic mysteries made it extraordinary.

It was a staff with 100% proficiency, with many enchantments, ready to be used. Only the direct descendants of magic families had the chance to obtain such a “legacy.”

The fifth grade was the “mythical” realm.

The level was too high, and Adele couldn’t really say anything about it.

After all, most vampires didn’t use staffs.

They directly cast high-level magic with their hands!

No wonder some noble blood nobles had said bluntly: “Sideways paths” like magic staffs were mostly used by humans.

But Adele didn’t care about these “let them eat cake” remarks from the upper class.

The moment she saw the staff, she almost drooled.

“Slurp… ahem, Snow, Snow~ my Snowbao~”

“Meow!”

First Snow almost choked on the sweetness in Adele’s voice and instantly shrank her shoulders.

Perhaps Adele also realized that she was being too flattering and quickly restrained herself.

But she was still reluctant to miss the staff, so she tried to beat around the bush.

“First Snow, th-that staff is…”

“It’s for Adele, meow!”

First Snow answered without hesitation.

The pure expression on the cute face of the white-haired little girl was incredibly seductive.

“!!!”

Adele declared that from this moment on, First Snow was the best cat in the world!

Chapter 108: Tally Marks on Her Thighs

An hour later, in the Black Feather Society’s conference room.

Li Lige sat on the chairman’s seat. She had deactivated her witch’s domain and looked at Adele, who was the first to wake up, teasing her with a smile.

“I didn’t know you had a virtuous wife and good mother side~”

“Shut up…!”

Adele replied, her face flushed, while rubbing her still dizzy temples.

She hadn’t forgotten what she had just done.

To put it in simple terms, it was – “playing mommy”!

At the same time, Edith also returned to reality, her consciousness gradually regaining clarity.

When she realized how she had been tricked, she stared at Li Lige, who was sitting in her seat, with murderous intent.

But when her gaze accidentally landed on Adele, Edith’s pupils trembled violently, and then she backed away.

Adele looked back at Edith with a complicated expression.

But Edith didn’t even dare to meet her eyes. Covering her veil, she rushed out of the conference room.

Perhaps it was just an illusion, but it seemed like there were a few sparkling things in her eyes as she fled.

“You’re quite impressive, scaring away a Sequence One just like that.”

“It seems like you can handle the Black Feather Society on your own without my help in the future.”

Li Lige continued to tease.

“It’s only natural for a daughter to be afraid of her mother.”

“That’s not what you were doing just now.”

If there were ranks for “playing house,” with Adele’s acting skills, she would definitely be at least a master, if not a king.

She played the role of a normal mother who cared for and loved her daughter very well.

Edith was immersed in it, wearing a beautiful dress, walking in the garden with her mother, crossing streets and crowds, never letting go of her hand.

Compared to reality, her ambitions and aspirations…

Perhaps she preferred to stay forever in this land of longing and dreams buried deep in her memories.

If it weren’t for the fact that staying any longer would exponentially increase the chances of the Black Feather Society barging in or being discovered by someone, Li Lige wouldn’t mind continuing to watch this heartwarming family drama.

When she removed the domain from Adele and Edith, the following scenes unfolded.

“That was then, this is now. You also know that the Edith in the dream was her past self, hidden in her heart, without any of her real memories.”

Adele argued.

“But that’s still her, isn’t it?”

Li Lige tried to remind Adele not to confuse the boundaries between the two.

Some people and some things couldn’t be forgiven.

But unexpectedly, Adele suddenly chuckled.

“Hey, are you stupid? Do you really think that I actually consider Edith my daughter just because I played mommy once?”

“I don’t acknowledge such a ‘mother-obsessed, rebellious daughter.’”

“Then what do you mean?” Li Lige asked with interest.

Adele thought to herself, you shouldn’t be called the “Vengeance Witch,” you should be called the “Gossip Witch”!

“She’s afraid of me, she has me in her heart, whether she sees me as a substitute for her ‘mother’ or something else.”

“People are most afraid of falling in love, whether it’s romantic love or familial love.”

“Once they’re bound by love, they often lose control of themselves.”

“So?”

“So Edith can be a useful tool, I have her secret.”

“From now on, the Black Feather Society will be led by her on the surface, and I’ll be the mastermind behind the scenes. How nice does that sound~”

“I didn’t know you were so ambitious, but unfortunately…”

Li Lige trailed off, unfortunately, Adele didn’t have the strength to back up her ambition.

That little secret wasn’t enough to negotiate with Edith on an equal footing.

Adele snorted, ignoring Li Lige’s concerns.

“What’s so great about a mere Black Feather Society?”

Li Lige, you just have bad taste, otherwise, you wouldn’t have died so early in the story!

Speaking of which, Adele was a bit conflicted now.

She said that once a person was bound by love, they would lose control of themselves, and even Adele herself couldn’t escape this law.

Although Li Lige had bad taste, she was a good person, willing to stand up for Adele.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, a budding friendship had already formed between them.

Thinking that this woman, a black-haired, purple-eyed, mature beauty, would die in a few days, Adele couldn’t bear it.

But if Li Lige didn’t die, where would she inherit such a powerful force…

If she couldn’t even activate the first cheat in the early stages, how could she activate the later cheats…

So Adele’s mood at this moment was conflicted.

Very conflicted.

She pushed the black tea on the table towards Li Lige.

“Do you want to drink this?”

“Yes, thank you.”

Li Lige didn’t think much of it, she just thought Adele didn’t like black tea.

It would be a shame not to drink this high-quality Darjeeling black tea.

But she didn’t know why Adele was staring at her with a smile the whole time.

Ever since she learned about Adele’s “pure and scummy” nature, Li Lige felt a chill whenever she saw Adele’s smile.

Even though Adele was so weak, it seemed like she had the power to manipulate everything.

Just like Li Lige couldn’t figure out how to solve the problem of Edith, but Adele could easily find the root of the problem and resolve it.

Facing a woman who had just tried to violate her, the next moment she could act like a gentle and loving mother.

To be honest, Li Lige couldn’t do that.

She seemed to have met an extraordinary girl.

Also worth mentioning was that this black tea really tasted good.

After finishing the tea, Li Lige and Adele should leave this place of right and wrong.

Adele walked in front, Li Lige behind.

At the door of the conference room, Vicky’s expression was strange.

She had been waiting here, keeping watch for the president. Anyway, she had nothing else to do for the time being.

President Edith came in high spirits, exchanged a knowing glance with Vicky, and entered the conference room, ready to savor the delicious girl.

A whole hour passed.

Just as Vicky was blushing and secretly admiring the president’s increasing stamina, President Edith rushed out of the conference room as if she had experienced something heartbreaking.

Yes, it was “rushing,” otherwise, Vicky wouldn’t be so surprised.

Just as she hesitated, wondering if she should enter the conference room…

The door was opened again, but this time it was Adele who walked out, her clothes neat and tidy.

She actually looked quite good, not at all like she had just been ravaged.

Adele even smiled at Vicky, a chill running down Vicky’s spine despite the calmness.

This made Vicky’s heart instantly confused.

A terrifying thought appeared in her mind.

Could it be that Adele had… the president?

But how was that possible!

As for Li Lige, who didn’t even bother to hide her actions and came out of the conference room after Adele, in Vicky’s eyes, it was enough to shatter her worldview.

So the three of them were…!?

No… who was this woman, and how did she get into the conference room?

Vicky had never been so dumbfounded in her life.

But the moment she realized that something was wrong, she rushed to the president’s office, wanting to get instructions from the president.

In the president’s office, Edith was rarely out of control. She covered her face with her hands, refusing to put them down for a long time.

Vicky pushed the door open and entered. Their relationship didn’t require so much formality.

“President! Should I send someone to stop them?”

Out of consideration for the Black Feather Society’s reputation, she made this suggestion.

Edith didn’t look up.

Vicky couldn’t believe her eyes. In her eyes, the always confident and ambitious president was actually showing signs of vulnerability.

She hunched her back, her shoulders trembling slightly.

After a while, a strained answer was squeezed out from between Edith’s teeth,

“…Let them go.”

“Vicky, you go too, I don’t want to see anyone now!”

“President, but…”

“Don’t make me say it again.”

Vicky didn’t know what emotions were suppressed in Edith’s calm words.

The only thing she knew was that her president needed to calm down now.

Staying here would only make their relationship worse.

“…Yes, President.”

With that, Vicky dragged her robe and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

Edith was once again alone in the office.

The girl murmured to herself, her voice filled with sadness, her purple eyes wide and teary, staring at the darkness before her, which was filled with nothingness.

“Fake, it’s all… fake?”

But even if it was fake, she still wanted to experience that feeling again.

Besides, was fake necessarily inferior to real?

The reality was, what did Edith’s real mother do to her?

And even if it was that unforgivable mother, Edith couldn’t reach her now.

Her mother died trying to take revenge on humans, and the terrorist acts she planned had serious consequences.

But because she was Lady Chen Xi’s descendant, Edith was even allowed to attend Cromwell Academy.

Humans tried their best to compensate the vampires, especially Lady Chen Xi’s descendants, this was also one of the long-term effects of that incident.

After her mother’s death, Edith lived with her aunt. She hid her past, everything her mother had done, and even told outsiders about her warm daily life with her mother.

Those sweet dreams she weaved, the dreams that belonged only to her, in every night of imprisonment and violation.

She wouldn’t let anyone slander her mother… no!

Only she herself swallowed the deep and dark pain.

But she would still wake up from nightmares in the middle of the night, her whole body covered in cold sweat.

“Even if it’s fake.”

Edith slowly lowered her hand, her face calm, letting the tears flow freely, her dark eyes showing an unimaginable obsession.

“I want to wear that dress again.”

………………

“Strange… I suddenly feel dizzy.”

Li Lige’s body swayed, her steps faltering, almost losing her balance. Fortunately, Adele caught her in time.

This made Li Lige feel very grateful.

“Maybe it’s because I overused my power, why don’t you come to my dorm and rest for a while?”

“…Is that okay?”

Li Lige actually believed Adele’s words without any suspicion.

Or maybe she understood herself, knowing that the domain’s consumption of power was indeed terrifying.

Adele smiled “kindly.”

“Of course, my place is quite… small, but it doesn’t matter, I’m always willing to help homeless beauties!”

Li Lige really wanted to tell Adele to stop smiling at her like that.

It always felt a bit malicious – that was, if you knew Adele’s true nature, unlike some people who were still in the dark.

Li Lige felt uneasy just looking at Adele, she even suspected that her dizziness might be Adele’s doing?

But it was an undeniable fact that Adele wanted to help her.

Therefore, Li Lige didn’t voice her thoughts, but nodded to Adele.

Meaning, thank you for your help.

Adele on the surface: “Leave it to me~”

In her heart: Hehe, I finally got my chance, Li Lige, it’s useless even if you scream now~

Li Lige forced herself to go to Adele’s dorm.

It wasn’t her first time entering a vampire’s dorm, last time… did she feel this safe?

Lying on Adele’s faintly fragrant bed, Li Lige’s eyelashes fluttered a few times before she finally gave up struggling against sleepiness and slowly closed her eyes, falling asleep.

But she didn’t know that the moment she fell asleep, Adele revealed a mischievous smile of “success.”

“Li Lige, oh Li Lige, weren’t you very smug when you pushed me just now?”

“I finally got my chance~”

The girl’s vengeful nature was fully on display.

The next second, she pounced on Li Lige on the bed—

Li Lige woke up again when it was almost dusk.

She was woken up by the meows beside her ear, otherwise, she could have slept even longer.

How long had it been since she had such a peaceful sleep?

Li Lige couldn’t give an answer, she just stared at the ceiling in a daze.

She still remembered her experiences from these past few days.

Every night… every night she couldn’t sleep.

Haunted by that voice.

Tormented by those familiar faces, unable to sleep, her face covered in tears.

Walking on campus, filled with memories of them.

In the library, she had also sat side by side with “her.” They didn’t say anything, just reading books together, and it was beautiful.

“She” always got sleepy while reading, so when she saw Adele sleeping in the library lounge, memories instantly flooded Li Lige’s mind.

Then she unconsciously walked into the study room and sat down beside Adele.

She saw Adele’s student ID card beside her and learned her student number and name.

Li Lige logged onto the forum and used her administrator privileges to check Adele’s browsing history and posts, which led to everything that happened after that.

That’s why she said it was “fate” that brought them together.

• “You’re awake.”

The sudden voice of a girl interrupted Li Lige’s memories.

At the same time, a cute, fluffy cat face also appeared in front of Li Lige.

Classic composition – Cat Head: You’re Awake.jpg

Li Lige was stunned at first, then she woke up with a start.

The principal’s… Cat-Bird!?

First Snow wasn’t in human form at this moment, she was still the little Cat-Bird with soft golden wings, her nimble tail swaying back and forth, able to fly and hover freely in the air.

She came to Adele’s place as usual for food, petting, and cuddles~

But she found someone lying on Adele’s bed.

So she came over to take a look. How strange, why was this person’s face covered in colorful markings, like she had been drawn with many curse marks?

But upon closer inspection, First Snow realized that it wasn’t a curse mark, but something like paint.

Well, with Adele’s current power, there was no way she could cast a curse on Li Lige.

First Snow immediately felt relieved, and couldn’t help but laugh in her heart.

Hehehe, meow, a big painted face~

But come to think of it, this painted face… she felt like she had seen it somewhere before.

The other party also seemed to know her, with a surprised and astonished expression.

“Meow? Meow!”

With a surprised meow, First Snow did recognize Li Lige.

The next moment, a golden light flashed, and First Snow transformed from a cat into a cat-girl in the air. The cute and petite cat-girl sat on Li Lige’s stomach.

Almost suffocating her!

“It’s the bad person who secretly touched First Snow but would give First Snow dried fish, meow!”

“Bad… bad person?”

Li Lige’s mentality was crumbling. What an ungrateful cat!

She didn’t know how much of her student council allowance had been eaten by this ungrateful cat! In the end, she became the bad sister who secretly touched her…

As for First Snow being able to transform into a human, Li Lige didn’t seem that surprised.

Although she had never seen First Snow transform herself, she had heard about this ability of Cat-Birds.

“You guys know each other?”

At this moment, Adele was squatting in the corner, adding a bowl of cat food for First Snow.

Although First Snow had now transformed into a human, she still liked to eat cat food and dried fish.

The biggest advantage of her human form was probably that she could go from being the one being hugged to the one who took the initiative to hug Adele~

“Thank you, Adele, meow!”

She called Adele “sister” with a sweet and greasy voice.

Adele smiled with satisfaction and comfort.

But to Li Lige’s ears, it was enough to make her furious.

“You… you called her sister???”

“I fed you so much food, you wouldn’t even let me touch you.”

“You call her sister, and you call me a bad person!”

This blatant discrimination!

“Hmph, meow!”

First Snow even threw a tantrum, flying lightly from Li Lige’s body.

She didn’t want to explain anything to the big painted face bad person, meow.

First Snow came to Adele’s side and knelt obediently in front of her, slightly tilting her face up, revealing her cute and soft chin.

Adele, as if teasing an ordinary kitten, reached out her finger and gently rubbed First Snow’s chin.

This was First Snow’s comfort zone, right under her chin.

And as long as the master stroked the kitten’s chin, it could promote the secretion of scent glands through friction.

Through this method, the cat exchanged pheromones with its master, feeling a sense of security, marking its territory, confirming its position in the family, and declaring its sovereignty.

It basically meant – I’m a cat of this house now!

She didn’t know how the principal would feel if she saw First Snow’s flattering appearance.

But Li Lige only knew that the emotion in her eyes was “shock”!

Why was First Snow so docile in front of Adele!

Could it be that…

Li Lige’s worldview was shattered, and she just wanted to be left alone.

“Li Lige, why are you being so mean to a kitten?” Adele said casually.

“A kitten…”

Li Lige’s lips twitched.

Did Adele even know what she was raising…

Li Lige was almost speechless.

“…I need to use the bathroom.”

“Go ahead, it’s downstairs.”

Li Lige got out of bed and walked out of Adele’s bedroom.

She dragged her messy thoughts to the bathroom. Just as she took off her skirt and was about to sit down, the woman froze at the sight before her.

Then, her lips twitched, veins popping on her fair forehead, Li Lige was so angry that even her eyebrows were twitching.

She suppressed her voice and shouted,

“Adele!”

“Fine, I won’t stoop to arguing with a cat. But you… you’re going to explain this!”

She pointed at her thighs, her voice trembling with rage.

They were covered in tally marks(“正”).

……

T/N:

正: In short… The tally is often used in Japanese +18 content to indicate the number of times the character has had s*x. (how many people or how many times) – Each stroke represents one

Of course, the protagonist is just joking around when she writes this.(Her revenge)

Chapter 107: Back to Before It All Happened

A soft chuckle came from the depths of Adele’s mind.

It belonged to Li Lige, not mocking, but a kind of sigh.

It sounded like she was quite pleased with Adele’s answer.

“Then I’ll wait and see.”

“Just watch quietly, why do you have to suddenly pop up in my head and scare me!”

“Oh, you’re getting feisty, huh?”

Li Lige snorted coldly.

Adele’s arrogance was immediately extinguished.

“…N-no.”

After all, their strength difference was clear. Adele was already racking her brains and having a headache trying to deal with one Edith.

Let alone dealing with the even more powerful Li Lige.

Li Lige was very satisfied with Adele’s timely surrender, and she also took Adele’s words to heart, trying her best not to suddenly pop up and scare Adele again.

The world simulated in the Vengeance Domain was once again left with only Adele and Edith.

The two looked at each other, the atmosphere a bit strange.

“Little minx…”

Adele murmured, half helpless, half venting her anger. After all, in this situation, even looking at Edith made her feel ashamed.

Who would have thought that Edith would take off her black robe at every turn, revealing her perfect body underneath.

Neither too plump nor too thin, her skin was as bright as jade under the moonlight, glowing with a healthy radiance.

If she didn’t look at her face, well… it would be very tempting!

Even if she looked at her face… it was still tempting!

Edith probably couldn’t understand Adele’s words.

Or rather, her subconscious would twist Adele’s words into another meaning.

It was like cross-channel communication.

Upon hearing Adele’s words, Edith suddenly wasn’t so afraid anymore. She showed a pleased expression, looking at her “mother” with a smile and devotion.

“Okay, Mother.”

Was this the reaction to being called a “little minx”??

“What do you mean okay! Okay what?!”

Adele’s dumbfounded look made Li Lige, who was outside the core domain, watch with great interest.

It was worth mentioning that Adele only had about an hour to resolve the conflict and trouble with Edith.

Any longer, and Edith’s subordinates would definitely notice the president’s abnormality.

At first, those scheming vampire elites would probably think – “The president has been in the conference room for over an hour, she’s so fierce, or is that girl really as pure and seductive as the rumors say, making people want more? I’m so envious.”

But after a while, they would probably start to suspect that something might have happened to the president.

By that time, Li Lige would have to retreat.

Or, before that, her actions might be sensed by the remaining strong individuals in the academy.

Like some teachers and professors, like the principal.

Like… the principal’s Cat-Bird?

Speaking of the Cat-Bird named First Snow, when Li Lige was the student council president, she often brought dried fish and canned tuna for First Snow to enjoy.

But until she graduated, Li Lige hadn’t petted her many times.

A few times, she tried to secretly touch First Snow’s fur while she was sleeping, but First Snow discovered it and immediately licked and groomed her fur with disgust.

In this aspect, Cat-Birds and cats had the same habits, they used licking to keep themselves clean.

If you petted a cat and it immediately turned around to lick the spot where you touched it, there was no doubt, it was disgusted with you!

Li Lige still remembered the time she angrily wanted to teach this ungrateful cat a lesson, but First Snow nimbly flicked her tail and easily tore open space to teleport away.

At that time, Li Lige was dumbfounded and shocked.

From then on, she became more respectful towards First Snow, and never missed a single offering of dried fish and canned food.

The current First Snow should still be a carefree and free kitten in the academy.

Occasionally helping students in need.

But she probably still wouldn’t let anyone pet her if she didn’t want to.

Sometimes Li Lige would also fantasize, would First Snow choose someone else like she chose the principal?

There was a legend about Cat-Birds.

If unicorns favored pure virgins, then Cat-Birds favored future strong individuals.

Their judgment was always good.

Because they were cats, and cats needed to find a strong backer to rely on.

Let the strong ones do the fighting and killing, they were only responsible for being cute and acting spoiled, meow~

Although Cat-Birds themselves were already considered top-tier among magical creatures, and they could become very strong with little effort in magic, Cat-Birds themselves didn’t seem to realize this, they still spent their days acting cute, rolling around, and begging for dried fish and food.

Even when facing beings countless times weaker than themselves.

Disqualified as strong individuals, meow…

………………

Adele’s mentality was crumbling.

After she called Edith a “little minx,” Edith’s response was actually “Okay, Mother.”

She looked pleased, as if she had received her mother’s forgiveness, or even some kind of reward.

Who knew what “Mother” had said to her in her illusion?

But then she slowly walked towards Adele.

Before Adele could blush and push her away, Edith stopped with perfect measure, about an arm’s length away from Adele.

Then, Edith bent her knees, slightly tilted her face up, and knelt in front of Adele, her hands resting flat on her thighs.

The look in her eyes above the veil was no longer sinister and deep, but filled with fervent purity and submission.

From her eyes, you could see how much she longed for her mother.

Even though she should be the object of her hatred and revenge, she was completely devoted to her.

It had to be said that Edith’s mother had completely turned Edith into someone just like her.

Adele didn’t know what happened to Edith’s mother.

But she must have paid the price for her madness…

Otherwise, with her strong possessiveness towards Edith, towards her own daughter, Edith shouldn’t have been freed from the shackles on her ankles, shouldn’t have been released from that castle.

She shouldn’t have entered Cromwell Academy and become a student.

And she shouldn’t have been reborn – or rather, she wasn’t reborn – as the president of the Black Feather Society.

Her past self was still deeply rooted in Edith’s heart, and would suddenly pop up at certain moments, influencing Edith’s every action and thought.

Some people believed that because they had been caught in the rain, they wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

But reality was far from being that beautiful and natural.

Sometimes, reality was illogical, or rather, the lack of logic was the biggest logic.

From many studies, it could be concluded that most criminals and murderers had a tragic childhood or had been subjected to terrible treatment.

They were easily angered, easily turning from victims into perpetrators, venting everything they had experienced onto others.

Edith was… violated by her mother.

The result was that she couldn’t hate the person she should hate, and was cruel to innocent people.

She had been molded into the image of her “mother.”

When Edith violated girls in the conference room, in the office, she actually imagined herself as her mother, and the girl in front of her as herself.

She would even wonder, why was her daughter crying? Why would her daughter reject her…

She was so disobedient, even though her mother loved her so much, even though “Mother” loved her so much.

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with her actions. A logical loop had already formed in her mind, a mother should be like this, a daughter should be like that.

No one told her what a real mother should be like.

No one told her that as a daughter, she could also have a different childhood and different experiences.

No one helped her find her original self…

Saying this wasn’t to whitewash Edith, black was black, a murderer who cried about their tragic childhood, no matter how pitiful they pretended to be, should still pay for their crimes with their life!

This was just an analysis of the causes of her behavior, providing a possible line of thought.

Once she had a line of thought, Adele could prescribe the right medicine.

She had realized that no matter what she said, it would definitely be misinterpreted by Edith in front of her.

So she simply stopped talking.

At this time, she had to use actions to awaken this “mother-obsessed, rebellious daughter”!

No, wait… it seemed that Edith’s mother was the bigger problem, it wasn’t Edith who was “mother-obsessed”…

Anyway, the problem child correction operation, start now!

Adele wouldn’t respond to Edith’s expectations.

Edith knelt down and looked up at her with pleading eyes, clearly hoping that Adele would do something to her.

Preferably supermarket sweep this little minx.

Are you kidding me, Adele felt that even touching her would dirty her fingers!

But to be honest, the real Edith was a complete criminal.

But this one in the Vengeance Witch’s domain… seemed to have no memories of her outside self.

Instead, she had returned to the past, facing Adele with the image and memories of the past Edith.

Essentially, they were the same person, but on a conscious level, they were two completely different people.

At least the Edith kneeling in front of Adele now was still the pitiful victim, not the criminal suspect Edith.

So…

Adele couldn’t treat this “victim Edith” the way she would treat the real Black Feather Society president Edith.

She remained silent, acting aloof.

Then she brushed past Edith.

Edith didn’t know what her “mother” was going to do, but as a daughter, she had no right to refuse whatever her “mother” wanted to do to her.

Adele realized this and, abandoning her hesitation, acted decisively.

If it were the Black Feather Society president Edith in front of her, would Adele dare to touch her?

No, she wouldn’t dare!

Adele went to the spiral staircase of the old castle, holding the handrail and going upstairs.

Edith silently gazed at her mother’s back until she disappeared completely, a faint, almost imperceptible light flashing in her dazed eyes.

On the second floor of the castle, Adele began to recall the memories she had witnessed of Edith’s past.

That is, Edith’s tragic past.

The root of all the tragedy should be that day.

The day her mother went mad.

Actually, it was hard not to suspect that Edith, to a certain extent, had also gone mad.

The blow from her mother’s failure might be far greater than the physical pain.

Adele tried to enter Edith’s mother’s room, but a force seemed to be resisting her entry.

“…”

Was she still protecting her mother at this time?

Refusing to let others see her mother’s madness?

That fall from grace, that ugly madness…

No wonder when Adele was watching Edith’s memories, Edith’s mother’s face was always covered in a layer of mist, she couldn’t see anything except her crazed eyes.

Even with the power of Li Lige, the Vengeance Witch, she still couldn’t break through Edith’s inner defenses and see her mother’s true face.

Fine, Adele respected Edith’s subconscious and withdrew her steps.

It was truly sad to see Lady Chen Xi’s descendant become like that.

The overly perfect Lady Chen Xi probably never thought that she would become the object of mad love for a descendant she had raised.

It was precisely because of Edith’s mother’s crazy love for her grandmother, Lady Chen Xi, that led to the second generation’s tragedy.

Adele shook her head and turned to go elsewhere.

Edith’s room was right next to her mother’s. Adele tried to push the door, and found it surprisingly easy, it wasn’t even locked.

She didn’t reject her “mother,” even though this “mother” might destroy all the good things in her memory.

And the moment Adele saw the whole room, she couldn’t help but hold her breath.

It wasn’t because the scene inside was bizarre or scary, on the contrary, it was ordinary and warm, a normal princess room for a little girl.

Pink decorations, dresses, a princess bed, dreamlike pony and pumpkin lamps on the wall emitting a soft glow, a music box in the corner playing a beautiful nursery rhyme.

But in such a world, having such a normal place was the most abnormal thing.

Edith hid all the good things she had experienced in the past in this small room.

It was the sanctuary of her soul.

Adele took a deep breath, composed herself, and slowly stepped inside.

She came to Edith’s wardrobe and reached out to open it.

With a “creak,” the entire wardrobe was revealed before Adele’s eyes.

Inside, there was only one dress hanging lonely.

It was the dress that was torn to shreds by her mother in Edith’s memories.

Now, it was completely intact here, and its size had even grown with Edith’s age.

Adele’s expression turned serious.

But this was actually within her expectations.

Actually… Edith had always been longing for it, right?

Longing for this dress that was torn, that was taken off by her mother, to be put on her again by her mother.

As if all the pain had never existed.

It wouldn’t be torn, it was still complete and beautiful.

Just like her daughter’s heart.

As if her mother was still the same mother who would gently braid her hair, buy her clothes, hold her hand and walk through the garden paths, and sing lullabies to her when she couldn’t sleep at night.

As if she could go back to before anything happened.

She could still enjoy her mother’s love in a normal way.

She could still love her mother in a normal way.

The moment Adele touched the fabric of the dress and took it off the hanger, Edith, kneeling in the hall of the castle, seemed to sense something.

Tears instantly streamed down her face.

The black veil slipped off.

The scar on her lips healed inch by inch, returning to its original purity.

Chapter 106: I’m Not Qualified to Forgive Her

Um, can I surrender?

The answer is no, you can’t surrender before fifteen minutes, dear~

Besides, it wasn’t that Adele didn’t want to run away.

The key was that the moment she saw Edith, all the previous memories flooded back to her mind.

And then… her legs went weak, so weak that she couldn’t even take a step!

From now on, Li Lige surpassed Dorothy, ranking first on Adele’s “hateful bad women” list!

Just be a good experience pack, damn it!

Why create all this trouble!

Was she a psychopath…

Throwing her in here like watching a beast fight, to have a one-sided虐.杀 match with Edith?

“E-Edith, I think we can sit down and have a good talk, I-I mean…”

Faced with the absolute power gap, Adele decisively chose to surrender.

Better to live to fight another day!

However, Edith seemed to be in a trance and didn’t respond to her words.

But she did hear Adele’s voice.

This seemed contradictory, but judging from Edith’s actions and expressions, it was indeed the reality.

Adele’s voice caught Edith’s attention, but she seemed to have no idea what Adele was saying.

The girl in the veil just walked out of the dark corner, following the direction of the voice.

Along with the sound of “clanking, clanking,” as if chains were being dragged.

It wasn’t until Edith walked from the pitch-black corner into the cold and lonely moonlight that Adele saw her clearly and gasped.

It was Edith…

But it wasn’t her either.

At least it wasn’t the confident, even arrogant, Edith she knew from the academy.

There was something different about her.

Edith’s figure was reflected in Adele’s pupils.

She was still wearing her signature black veil, her face hidden. Her purple eyes were shimmering with tears.

Just looking at her eyes, Adele felt a pang of pity!

No, it was an illusion, it must be an illusion!

At the same time, the dark red dress she usually wore was replaced by a hooded robe that almost covered her entire body, revealing only her bare ankles.

The hood hid Edith’s hair and the slight curls at the ends, the robe concealed the curves of her alluring body.

The color was simple and low-key, like dust-covered black.

A very conservative style, reminiscent of a girl serving God in a monastery.

She stepped on an old, faded carpet that should have been bright red but was now dark brown.

The girl’s jade-like feet, bare for some reason, were inevitably stained with dirt.

A kind of blasphemous beauty.

And a black anklet was chained around her ankles, restricting her movements, as conspicuous as stones in the snow.

The sound just now came from this chain.

Adele wasn’t a foot fetishist, but even she couldn’t help but gulp at this moment.

Playing… playing it this big?

But what Adele couldn’t imagine was that it would get even bigger.

Edith didn’t stop walking towards Adele.

The survival instinct told Adele to back away, to run away.

But a crazy thought made her stop and quietly wait for Edith to approach.

To see what she wanted to do.

Because a sharp intuition told Adele that the Edith in front of her might be different from the Edith she knew.

She might have lost some of her memories and sanity, trapped in some unknown past memory.

This could be evidenced by her dazed and absent-minded eyes.

Fortunately, luck always favored greedy girls.

Adele gambled correctly.

Edith didn’t recognize her.

In fact, she completely mistook Adele for another person, another character.

Perhaps this was because Edith was influenced by the Vengeance Witch’s power.

Adele spoke to her, but Edith mistook it for that person calling her.

So she obediently and submissively came to Adele.

Then she slowly untied her robe.

Revealing her jade-white body, without any cover or concealment.

Adele’s pupils trembled violently, this was a development she had never imagined!

Adele considered herself not a prude, but even she couldn’t help but blush at this moment.

S-seduction??

What kind of character was she in Edith’s eyes right now!?

Before Adele could recover from her shock, Edith’s fragile voice came,

She lowered her head, her gaze fixed on her toes, which were pitifully curled inward, showing extreme self-abasement.

She apologized to “Adele” in a low, hoarse, and trembling voice.

Full of guilt and deep fear and anxiety.

“I’m sorry…”

“I’ve disappointed you… I’m sorry.”

Her shoulders were trembling, tears streaming down her face.

• “I’m sorry… Mother.”

………………

Few people knew Edith’s past.

Her childhood and adolescence, raised solely by her mother.

Edith’s mother was a reclusive, low-key, and gloomy vampire.

The only time she smiled was when she visited Edith’s grandmother.

The True Ancestor known for her “virtue” – [Lady Chen Xi].

The representative of kindness and friendliness among the Twelve True Ancestors.

As her title suggested, she preferred to be called “Lady” by vampires and other foreign races, rather than those noble titles.

She was known as the “conscience of the vampires.”

Some also said that she was the most hypocritical vampire, wearing a mask her whole life.

But there was a saying among humans – “A hypocrite who pretends for a lifetime becomes a gentleman.”

A gentleman is judged by his actions, not his heart.

Therefore, it didn’t matter what Lady Chen Xi thought in her heart, what mattered was what she did.

Thousands of years passed, and the world changed, but Lady Chen Xi always practiced her kindness.

Countless vampires and foreign races who had doubted her before regretted it and were completely convinced by her charisma.

In terms of strength, she wasn’t the strongest among the Twelve True Ancestors.

But in terms of influence, it could be said that if Lady Chen Xi wanted to, she could recreate the glory of the Black Emperor era and unite the entire vampire race.

It was also because of her support and persuasion that the second cooperation between humans and vampires was finally achieved.

The first cooperation between humans and vampires was in the Middle Ages, over a thousand years ago, to resist the invasion of the Otherworld mist.

It could be said that without Lady Chen Xi, there wouldn’t be the current situation of peaceful coexistence between vampires and humans. The conflict between humans and foreign races would only have intensified.

But if Lady Chen Xi knew her fate…

That she would be attacked and assassinated by the humans she had high hopes for, the humans she expected to create a peaceful and prosperous world, using any means necessary, in an attempt to kill her at the ceremony for signing the “peace and cooperation agreement,” would she still make the same choice?

Would she still be willing to trust humans?

You all know what happened next.

The vampire hunter families joined forces, attempting to launch an attack and destroy this “false peace agreement” in their eyes.

The Tang family, where Tang Linlang belonged, was among them, and they suffered the most casualties in that “attack.”

They almost succeeded.

Lady Chen Xi was on the verge of death, and someone helped her escape.

This extremely vicious attack had extremely serious consequences. The cooperation between vampires and humans was also on the verge of collapse, in imminent danger.

Countless schemers moved in the shadows, fanning the flames and inciting hatred.

They came from within the vampire race, from other foreign races, from many mysterious forces.

It seemed that the cooperation between vampires and humans was about to turn into a “war.”

Lady Chen Xi’s timely awakening resolved all of this.

Deeply betrayed and hurt, she personally gave the answer.

She didn’t regret her choice.

She was still willing to trust humans.

The agreement wasn’t invalidated. A legendary human mage risked her own life and went deep into the ancestral land of the vampires.

At the most dangerous moment, this legendary mage faced three True Ancestors at the same time, risking being torn to pieces.

But Lady Chen Xi, lying weakly on the sickbed in the center, with only a sliver of life left, waved her hand and stopped her friend.

She asked the legendary mage to come forward and hand her the agreement that hadn’t been signed and hadn’t taken effect yet.

Then she signed her name.

Swearing in the name of the vampires, the agreement took effect.

She also told the legendary mage that she would fall into a long sleep.

Maybe decades, maybe a century… in the worst case, she would never wake up, remaining silent forever.

Now, because of her, the hatred towards humans within the vampire race had reached its peak in history.

She felt very sorry.

Whether the two races could coexist peacefully according to the agreement in the future, she was no longer able to mediate between them.

Everything was left to the humans.

The legendary mage’s hands trembled as she took the agreement, feeling the heavy weight of expectation.

This was the dawn for both humans and vampires, tinged with blood, precarious.

Only those who had personally experienced that incident could understand how hard-won the current peace was.

Lady Chen Xi stopped breathing in front of that legendary mage.

She was sealed in a crystal coffin.

Many years later, when the legendary mage recalled that day’s scene, she was still heartbroken.

• “I have seen the most noble vampire, and I have seen the most despicable human…”

………………

Edith’s mother went mad when she learned that her grandmother was dying and falling into a deep sleep.

She was raised by Lady Chen Xi and had an unusual attachment to her.

Lady Chen Xi was her light, her sun.

The sun had set, and the world was plunged into darkness.

This darkness not only stained her, but also stained others.

At that time, Edith was still young, cute, and lively, a very likable child.

She showed strong leadership skills from a young age, successfully rallying the vampire girls and boys in the neighborhood to become her playmates.

The group of kids had a lot of fun playing in the garden.

But during breaks, even at a young age, they couldn’t help but be influenced by the adults.

They discussed the “cooperation with humans” that was causing a stir within the vampire race.

One of her friends said indignantly,

“Humans are just our food, what right do they have to cooperate with us? They should just be obedient lambs waiting to be slaughtered!”

Someone immediately retorted,

“Lambs? Humans are about to rule the entire Earth. For the future of the vampire race, I agree with Lady Chen Xi’s proposition.”

“By the way, Edith, Lady Chen Xi is your grandmother, right? What do you think?”

Edith, who was suddenly asked, stopped thinking, her beautiful purple eyes flickering.

“…Well, of course, I would prefer humans to obey vampires.”

“But it’s undeniable that they have unique creativity and have changed the entire world. Cooperation might not be a bad choice.”

At this time, Edith had already shown her intelligence and excellent analytical skills, taking both sides’ opinions into consideration, but not compromising in a mediocre way, instead, she clearly stated her own proposition.

The friends around her had to admit that Edith’s words made sense.

And they admired her, as expected of Lady Chen Xi’s descendant.

However, they didn’t know that the real reason Edith chose to speak for humans was – because the food humans made was simply too delicious!

And she loved going to human amusement parks and cinemas, she loved them!

She still remembered the first time her mother took her to a human city.

Like “Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden,” little Edith was instantly attracted by human culture and the human world, becoming a loyal fan of humans.

As for the castles and desolation within the vampire race, it was too boring.

That was when her mother still supported the cooperation between humans and vampires.

So she took Edith to play in the human city, wanting her to adapt to human life.

At that time, Edith’s mother truly believed that vampires and humans would live a peaceful and happy life under her grandmother’s proposition.

Edith was even more thoroughly influenced by her mother and grandmother, thinking that even the air in the human world was sweet.

• But everything collapsed like a mirage the moment her grandmother was on the verge of death.

As evening approached, Edith said goodbye to her friends and skipped home, humming a cheerful tune.

Before she even entered the door, she heard loud crashes and bangs coming from inside the castle.

Little Edith looked confused and helpless. She stretched out her hand, hovering in the air, her heart filled with unease, not knowing what was happening inside.

Then her mother’s voice, slightly different from usual, came from the castle.

She seemed to be laughing and crying at the same time, sinister and chilling.

“Edith~ You’re back?”

“Come to Mother, quick! Quick!”

Although Edith instinctively sensed that her mother’s mental state was a bit off at the moment, she was still her mother, so she obediently listened and rushed to her mother’s side without hesitation.

She entered the castle, which was dark inside because all the wires had been torn apart by her mother. She didn’t want to see any traces of humans in front of her… no!

But through the afterglow of the setting sun, Edith could still see what was happening inside.

She saw a mess, traces of her mother’s venting everywhere.

Broken glass, crystals, porcelain, smashed appliances, sparks flying…

As she went up the stairs, the closer Edith got to her mother, the more fear she felt in her heart.

She almost couldn’t even move her legs, her calves starting to go weak.

But Edith endured the discomfort in her body and arrived at her mother’s room.

Her mother was sitting gracefully on a chair, as usual, her gaze calmly fixed on the distance.

Everything was the same as before, her mother was still that gentle mother, waiting for her to come home.

Edith felt a wave of dizziness.

Was this… an illusion?

Or a nightmare? Was everything she had just seen and heard fake?

Edith was completely confused.

But when she turned her head and saw the mess downstairs, her heart skipped a beat.

It turned out that it wasn’t a dream…

Edith turned her head back, but a hideous and familiar face suddenly appeared before her eyes.

It was her mother’s face.

Edith was so frightened that her legs gave way, and she knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

She kept backing away, but her mother followed her like a shadow, the shadow cast by her tall figure covering Edith completely.

“…M-Mother! N-no… don’t!”

The little girl instinctively resisted something unknown, letting out pitiful cries.

A normal mother would soften her heart when she heard her daughter’s cries.

But Edith’s mother ignored her, she seemed to be trapped in her own world, staring intently at the dress Edith was wearing, the dress she had bought for her in a human shopping mall.

She loved this dress because it was a gift from her mother…

But at this moment, her mother’s once gentle face was full of ferocity, no longer with a warm smile, no longer with gentle concern.

She grabbed the child’s wrist with adult strength, bruising Edith’s arm.

She couldn’t hear Edith’s cries, they were muffled.

Only crazy questions.

“Why… why are you wearing human clothes!”

• Rip!

“Edith, are you disobeying Mother?”

“Humans… they all deserve to die, kill them all… kill them all!”

• Rip!

“Everything about humans must be destroyed!”

“Otherwise… otherwise Mother will die, Mother… sob…”

• Rip…

“I’ll protect Mother… Edith, you’ll protect Mother, right?”

The woman forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

Before her was Edith, who had been tortured into a broken rag doll.

The dress on her body was torn to shreds, the dress she loved so much, the dress her mother bought for her…

The sound of tearing still echoed in Edith’s ears, she felt like her body and soul were being torn apart.

The girl’s breathing was weak, her tear-filled purple eyes had lost their luster at some point, becoming dull and gray, like an impenetrable fog.

The pain gradually disappeared, starting from her arm…

Edith saw flowers blooming on her body.

Purple, dark red, one petal after another, one flower after another…

Mother had planted a garden on her body, it was so beautiful…

She didn’t know that her arm was broken, forcefully torn off by her mother.

She didn’t know that the flowers blooming on her body were actually wounds.

Pinch marks, finger marks, squeeze marks, scratches…

Her fair skin was covered with hideous fingerprints, and blood was oozing from the places where her sharp fingertips had cut her.

It was said that people would hallucinate to protect themselves in desperate situations.

Edith would rather believe that this was a nightmare.

When she woke up, her mother would still be that gentle mother.

But illusions would disappear, pain wouldn’t.

It hurt… it really hurt…

Mommy… I’m in so much pain…

Mommy…

Edith’s dry tear ducts became warm, showing signs of revival.

She suddenly felt so sad, the suppressed grief surging forth in an instant.

She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to call out the warmest name in the world.

Wanting to call out…

• Slash!

A coldness suddenly appeared on the corner of Edith’s lips.

Her mother’s hand held a shard of porcelain, the sharp edge like a knife tip.

The shard also cut her mother’s hand, blood dripping down her fingers.

Edith couldn’t make a sound, blood gurgling out of her mouth…

Her mouth was cut open by her mother with a shard of porcelain, from bottom to top.

Forming a “smile.”

“Smile… smile~”

“Mother likes to see her daughter smile… haha.”

“My lovely daughter, your smile is so cute~”

• “I love you, my daughter.”

………………

From then on, Edith was no longer allowed to go out.

No longer allowed to wear human clothes.

Not even allowed to wear clothes.

She was chained to her mother’s side with shackles.

Only in this way, would she not lose Edith.

And Edith wouldn’t lose her mother.

Mother and daughter should always be together.

And kill all humans, kill all humans!

She began to teach Edith magic, to teach her how to discover and develop her abilities.

What she couldn’t do herself, maybe her daughter could do!

To avenge her “mother.”

Yes, Edith’s mother, because she was raised by Lady Chen Xi, her feelings for her grandmother were actually more like “a daughter’s love for her mother.”

“Why are you so useless, why!”

“…I’m sorry.”

“It’s not enough, why can’t you even do this!”

“I’m sorry!”

“Why are you worse than everyone else, Hermione, Lillian…”

“I’m sorry…”

“You’ve disappointed me… I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry… Mother.”

Edith grew up day by day, from a girl to a young woman.

On her birthday, Edith was called to her mother’s room –

………………

“Ahhh! No more, I don’t want to see anymore, what the hell is wrong with these perverts!”

Two twisted “mother-complex” characters!

What a misfortune for Lady Chen Xi’s family!

“Li Lige, let me out!”

Adele’s mind was in turmoil, making Li Lige stop restoring Edith’s past.

To be precise, restoring the past that Edith resented and wanted to take revenge on.

As for other emotions, Li Lige was powerless.

Li Lige’s voice then rang in Adele’s mind,

“Leaving like this, giving up on revenge?”

“Don’t waste the opportunity I’ve given you, I won’t be able to protect you in the future.”

“Who needs your protection, I have plenty of women to protect me!”

Adele said angrily.

“Tsk, not even pretending anymore, your true nature as a scumbag is exposed.”

When they first met, Li Lige thought Adele was a pure and innocent girl.

“Shut up, experience pack!” Adele said, embarrassed and angry.

“Experience pack?”

“Ahem, it’s nothing.”

Adele quickly changed the subject.

After calming down a bit, Adele no longer mentioned leaving.

Li Lige clearly wouldn’t kill Edith.

She could kill her. After Edith entered the core of the witch’s domain, she was quickly deprived of her mind and even mistook Adele for her mother.

This meant that although she resented and wanted to take revenge on her mother, she couldn’t do it.

Those without any fighting spirit for revenge would be lost in the past.

It would be as easy as crushing an ant for Li Lige to kill them.

And a vengeful character like Adele, after entering the core of the Vengeance Witch’s domain, was like nothing had happened…

No wonder Li Lige said, “You’re even more suitable to be the Vengeance Witch than I am.”

She would really take revenge if she had a grudge…

But the reason Li Lige chose not to kill was because the trouble of killing Edith was too great.

The president of the Black Feather Society would die just from meeting Adele, and Adele’s situation would be unimaginable, the Black Feather Society would never let her go.

But if she didn’t kill Edith, after Edith left the Vengeance Witch’s domain, Adele would only face even more brutal revenge.

And by that time, Li Lige wasn’t even sure if she would still be in this world.

So in the end, Adele had to solve this big problem herself.

That’s why Li Lige pushed Adele into the core of the domain.

She believed that Adele would have a way to solve it.

Although it was unbelievable, Li Lige inexplicably trusted Adele.

She was just a weak and delicate little girl, her magic power pathetically low.

It could only be explained by “woman’s intuition.”

“By the way, after seeing Edith’s past, do you pity her, forgive her?”

Li Lige suddenly became gossipy.

Adele was originally pondering how to solve the problem of Edith in front of her.

Now that she was suddenly interrupted, she immediately showed an annoyed expression.

In Edith’s eyes, it was probably like “Mother is angry,” right?

So Edith timidly shrank her shoulders, tears welling up in her eyes, no longer looking like the composed president of the Black Feather Society.

Adele’s lips twitched.

It would have been fine if Edith was still her usual annoying self.

But seeing her like this really made Adele’s mood a bit complicated.

She silently replied to the gossipy Li Lige in her heart,

• “It’s human nature to pity Edith back then.”

• “But even pitiful people have hateful sides, not to mention the current Edith is super hateful!”

What Edith did couldn’t be changed by traveling back in time.

Just like a piece of white paper stained with ink, it was no longer pure and flawless.

She and her minions had already hurt many innocent girls.

Even if Edith might have been influenced by her mother, traumatized by her childhood, it didn’t mean that she could beg for forgiveness based on this.

• “As for whether I would forgive her? What a ridiculous question.”

• “I’m not qualified to forgive her on behalf of the girls who were hurt by Edith.”

Chapter 105: Adele Enters the Darkness

Adele felt more and more in her heart that the Vengeance Witch was unreliable, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.

Now, she could only treat this as a solo survival mission.

Fortunately, after her efforts, Vicky didn’t force her to drink the black tea that might have been spiked with something strange.

However, Vice President Vicky’s gaze towards Adele became filled with an indescribable meaning.

She was clearly starting to doubt the authenticity of Adele’s “innocence.”

Please, Adele didn’t even smoke, how could she be innocent!

But they both exercised restraint, avoiding tearing down the facade and making things too ugly.

Besides, Adele had already come to the Black Feather Society, they believed she couldn’t pull off any tricks.

“It’s my poor hospitality, I didn’t check beforehand that Miss Adele doesn’t drink black tea.”

Vicky saved some face for Adele.

“But it doesn’t matter, milk tea, coffee, green tea, jasmine tea, there’s always a drink that Miss Adele will like. I’ll be well prepared next time.”

“I’ll take my leave now, Miss Adele.”

“…Okay, goodbye, President Vicky.”

Would flattery still work at this time?

Adele had heard that vice presidents usually liked to be called presidents?

It felt like she had been marked by Vicky…

But actually, as long as Adele kept one thing in mind, after safely leaving the Black Feather Society this time, she would never come back.

That was, if she could actually leave the Black Feather Society safely!

She didn’t know if Edith was deliberately testing her patience, but after Vicky left, Edith came after a while, appearing gracefully.

The first thing Edith did upon entering the conference room was to lock the door from the inside.

The two “clicks” made Adele’s eyelids and heart jump.

Damn, this person wasn’t even trying to hide it!

She even put on a “three visits to the thatched cottage” act outside, and now that Adele was on her turf, she wasn’t even pretending!?

Li Lige! Save me!

Edith’s intentions were too obvious!

So obvious that even if Adele wasn’t a naive little white flower, she should have been a little wary.

But unfortunately, her current role was precisely that of a naive little white flower!

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Adele.”

Edith’s tone was enthusiastic, perhaps she still wanted to play a hypocritical game with Adele.

Then, when Adele truly believed her lies, she would tear off her mask and enjoy Adele’s despair upon seeing her true face.

Perhaps because they were both naturally good at acting, Adele could almost see through Edith’s purpose at a glance.

But in this situation…

Oh my god, apart from continuing to act along with Edith, delaying until Li Lige came online, and avoiding being raped, Adele had no other choice.

“I-it’s okay, Miss Vicky is a very nice person, she chatted with me for a while…”

The most eye-catching thing in the conference room was the round table in the middle and the cushioned chairs surrounding it.

Adele was sitting on a chair near the window on the right side.

Logically speaking, Edith should be sitting at her chairman’s seat, that way, she would be far enough away from Adele for Adele to have time to react.

But she gave up her usual position and instead came to sit beside Adele, acting very familiar.

As if their relationship was naturally close.

At the same time, Edith’s gaze also fell on the cup of black tea in front of Adele, which was still steaming slightly.

“It seems that Miss Adele hasn’t touched the tea, is it not to your liking?”

Edith asked, her expression unchanged.

“I’ll tell the others to pay attention next time.”

“N-no… you don’t have to be so polite.”

“Why not? I’m sincere towards Miss Adele.”

As she spoke, Edith moved closer to Adele.

Her hand rested on the chair, and the two chairs were so close together that their fingers almost touched.

Or rather… they were already touching!

A tingling sensation spread from her fingertips to Adele’s heart.

Making the hairs on her back stand on end.

“P-please don’t do this, President Edith…”

“Don’t do what?”

“We’re just having a normal conversation. Since Adele came to me, it means you’ve accepted to join the Black Feather Society, right?”

Edith pressed on.

“This is our Black Feather Society’s initiation ceremony for new members, haven’t you heard of it?”

“…N-no.”

Adele didn’t dare to directly say that she wasn’t here to join at all, that would only make Edith think that she was playing with her, and Edith’s patience would wear thin.

When her patience completely disappeared, Adele thought that she would be devoured.

Edith smiled playfully.

“If you haven’t, then it’s just the right time for your big sister to teach you~”

“Don’t worry, it’s very enjoyable. It can make you forget all your worries and pain…”

“What Hermione and Dorothy can’t give you… I can give you~”

Edith had unknowingly leaned in close to Adele, the black veil swaying gently with her movements.

Adele was transfixed by her naked, undisguised gaze.

She forgot to breathe, forgot to struggle, or maybe she didn’t dare, didn’t have the strength.

One of Adele’s small hands was tightly gripped by Edith.

Instead of warmth, it felt ice-cold.

As if Edith could hurt her with just a little force.

“No… don’t…”

Adele was almost in despair at this moment, only able to utter a refusal instinctively, unable to make any other sound.

But this refusal seemed to please Edith even more.

“It’s a pity, it’s not up to you to say no now.”

“If you had drunk that black tea, maybe I would have been gentler today, making you mistake it for just a bad dream.”

“But now, I’m more interested in seeing you struggle desperately, seeing you add more fun to this~”

It seemed that Edith was doing the same thing as Amaterasu Kuro and Tsukimi Shiro.

But the outcome might be completely different.

She would get away with it, and Adele would become one of those voiceless victims.

Firstly, she had never forced Adele to join the Black Feather Society.

Since Adele had willingly jumped into the den of evil, then everything that happened after that had nothing to do with Edith.

Secondly, she wasn’t as stupid as the twins. The twins used brute force and didn’t care about Adele’s feelings.

But Edith cared, she cared in a hypocritical way.

She was very good at bullying and manipulating pure little girls like Adele.

She was also confident that after Adele experienced the pleasure, she would become completely dependent on her.

If the feeling of pleasure alone couldn’t make Adele fall, she also had other ways, some unspeakable methods, to make Adele obey her every word~

That’s why she dared to be so unscrupulous, in this territory that belonged to her.

In front of Adele, who was already like a trapped little animal.

“One wrong step can lead to a lifetime of regret,” this was Adele’s current situation.

Edith didn’t want to explore why Adele suddenly changed her mind after half a day.

But what remained unchanged was that Adele would become a puppet she manipulated, a pawn or a sharp blade she placed between Hermione and Dorothy.

Edith was very ambitious, otherwise, she wouldn’t have gathered the originally scattered vampire students and formed the so-called Black Feather Society.

The Black Feather Society was her “brotherhood,” which would give her great help when she left the academy and made a name for herself in the vampire world, becoming a force to be reckoned with.

In fact, in the later part of the book, she did become an important boss in the vampire world.

And the role of a boss was obvious, wasn’t it to be defeated by the protagonist for revenge?

Edith abused the protagonist in the early stages, and was then abused by the protagonist as a stepping stone in the later stages.

But back to reality – Adele didn’t even want to be abused by her in the early stages!

If anyone tried to entice Adele with promises of “bitter first, sweet later,” Adele would only reply – Sweet your ass!

Why should she suffer!

Couldn’t it be sweet from beginning to end!

She was already regretting it to death.

She thought to herself that she shouldn’t have trusted the evil of the Vengeance Witch, Li Lige, that experience pack!

Did that experience pack peek at the script?

Was she planning to kill her, the protagonist, in advance and then take her place?

Adele never hesitated to attribute the worst intentions to people.

And it was at this critical moment, a sentence suddenly popped up in Adele’s mind.

The voice was also strangely familiar, it was clearly Li Lige’s!

• “Little girl, do you understand the principle of ‘luring the tiger out of the mountains’?”

• “Just because I was a little late, I’ve become your target of revenge too?”

The Vengeance Witch could sense the resentment in other people’s hearts, and obviously, Adele’s resentment towards Li Lige was quite deep at this moment.

Of course it was deep, she was about to be raped! How could it not be deep!

• “This vengeful nature of yours… maybe you’re even more suitable to be the Vengeance Witch than I am.”

It was probably magic voice transmission. Adele couldn’t do this, she was too bad at using magic.

Besides, she couldn’t find Li Lige’s location either.

So Adele could only complain and get excited in her heart.

“You finally came online!”

But thanks to Li Lige’s sudden voice transmission, Adele’s nervousness and fear also subsided a lot.

Even though her current situation was still not optimistic, Edith was about to violate her, and had already tightly gripped her wrist, Adele’s heart was unprecedentedly calm.

And just as Edith was about to take the next step, the sudden change in the atmosphere made her feel a great sense of danger.

It was like a predator at the top of the food chain enjoying its prey…

And suddenly being targeted by an even higher-level predator!

Outside the conference room, the sky gradually darkened.

Like ink spilling, the whole world was enveloped in an unknown darkness.

Making one’s heart clench, filled with an ominous feeling.

It wasn’t the natural transition from day to night, but the unfolding of some kind of domain.

The conference room was enveloped, becoming a sealed chamber with no escape.

Edith’s whole body tensed up, her heart turning cold.

She didn’t even notice that Adele in front of her was starting to be swallowed by the darkness, as if sinking into a dark swamp.

From her arm to her body, finally only her face remained visible to Edith.

Then Adele completely fell into the boundless darkness, disappearing without a trace!

At first, Adele was also a little panicked, but when she realized that this darkness wouldn’t harm her, but was protecting her, separating her from a certain domain, she was no longer nervous, she even gave Edith a strange smile smugly.

(≖ᴗ≖)✧

Edith only felt her hand empty, Adele’s wrist disappearing.

Her first reaction was to hug Adele in front of her, wanting to take her as a hostage – but she missed.

Adele mocked her with her disappearance.

And from this point on, she watched as everything around her, the chairs, the solid wood round table, the bookshelves, and the curtains, were swallowed by the invisible ink-like darkness bit by bit.

The whole world became pitch black, and she was in it, as if she had descended into a hell where she was “neither in heaven nor on earth.”

Edith’s expression instantly turned gloomy, becoming terrifyingly scary.

If someone took off her veil, they would see an even more hideous and terrifying sight.

She knew she had been tricked, tricked by Adele.

As expected, any “change of heart” was “ulterior motive”!

Adele wasn’t as innocent as she appeared!

This reminded Edith of a story from the Eastern world.

“The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.”

Adele was the “cicada,” and she… was the “mantis” that had been tricked to death!

Then who was the oriole?

Who was it!?

But no matter who it was, being able to drag her into their domain without her knowing proved one thing: the other party was far stronger than her.

The next moment, Edith began her futile resistance.

With a soft shout, countless black feathers shot out at an incredible speed, like sharp flying knives, piercing the surrounding darkness.

Although the damage wasn’t high, the range was wide, it was a very powerful AoE skill.

In fact, Edith wasn’t aiming for damage, but to use these black feathers to probe the boundaries of the darkness.

Using your brain in battle could save a lot of energy.

But unfortunately, the difference in strength was clear.

Being completely overpowered would render all strategies useless.

Those black feathers were swallowed by the ink-like darkness, unable to detect any boundaries! It was as if it was endless…

At the same time, they also attacked Edith. Although she tried her best to resist, briefly delaying her fate of being swallowed, it was destined to be futile.

Apart from buying time, she couldn’t do anything, she couldn’t change the final outcome.

Edith was just the president of the Black Feather Society, her strength was far inferior to the current student council president.

Li Lige’s identity was even more significant, as the former student council president, it meant that she was the strongest among the students of that generation.

Not to mention that she had also undergone witchification.

There was a saying, “Whitewashing weakens you by seven points, blackening strengthens you threefold.” Maybe reality wasn’t that exaggerated, but it wasn’t unreasonable.

Li Lige, as someone who had experienced it firsthand, truly felt that she was much stronger now than she was in the past.

In the battle between the senior and the new generation, the situation was destined to be one-sided.

But Li Lige obviously didn’t plan to just defeat her opponent and teach Edith a lesson on Adele’s behalf.

That would only create a relentless enemy for Adele, with no benefit to herself.

Therefore, Li Lige had other considerations. She would wait until Edith was completely swallowed by her domain.

After that, it would be her time to perform.

And Adele would watch the show with her.

This was no longer the real world, but more like a separate space.

It felt magical, like floating in a huge transparent cube, with light blue magic power swimming around like nimble fish.

Within the cube, there was a separate sphere, slowly rotating.

Inside the sphere was a thick, ink-like darkness, imprisoned and restrained, wanting to find something to erode, spreading and swirling like crazy.

Perhaps this was the reason why Li Lige had remained calm and rational so far.

When the day came that she no longer suppressed the darkness in her heart, shattering that sphere, shattering this huge cube, it would be the time for the black flames of revenge to spread and burn the entire world.

Edith was trapped in the center of the sphere, unable to pierce the darkness, unable to escape.

She tried her best to resist the erosion of the darkness, but to no avail.

Adele and Li Lige were in the cube outside the sphere, observing the situation inside.

In Li Lige’s eyes, Edith was just struggling in vain, it was meaningless.

But in Adele’s eyes, Edith was indeed the president of the Black Feather Society, she had real skills, using her abilities one after another.

Those gorgeous moves made Adele drool.

So the “Black Feather” ability could be used to such an extreme.

Edith’s performance also made her fantasize about becoming that strong one day.

Thinking about it, she glanced at Li Lige beside her with a guilty conscience.

An experience pack… but so strong, sob, she couldn’t handle it.

So, Adele, who had just been saved by Li Lige and now saw her as an experience pack, was truly the scum of the earth.

But Adele also had her reasons.

If she hadn’t listened to Li Lige’s suggestion, she wouldn’t have dared to come to the Black Feather Society, this filthy place full of dirt.

And in order to lower Edith’s guard and give Li Lige time to deploy her domain, Adele had sacrificed her beauty, making Edith reveal her weakness.

This allowed Li Lige to successfully invade, leaving Edith with no chance to react or escape.

Li Lige noticed Adele’s gaze and just glanced at her indifferently.

An inexplicable sense of frustration arose in Adele’s heart.

Damn it… why were they all so tall!

Only the little angel Sharon cared for her, her height was similar to Adele’s, sob…

“Her ability, Mist Phantom Crow, is considered one of the best among ability-type vampires, agile and…”

“Mist Branch? Where’s Mist Branch?” (The protagonist of the first installment of “Pretty Girl Kaleidoscope,” a tsundere and sharp-tongued vampire)

Adele tilted her head and asked.

“…”

Li Lige suddenly felt like she was talking to a brick wall.

She finally met a girl who had a connection with her, and she wanted to teach her more in her remaining time.

But unfortunately, she was eager to teach, while Adele was not eager to learn.

It seemed that there was a reason why her strength was so low.

Was she content to be a vase, protected by others?

Li Lige sighed softly in resignation.

And Edith in front of them was already showing signs of exhaustion. She had tried many times to transform into a black feather and pierce through the darkness, but all she got was failure.

If she could choose again, she would definitely regret it, she would definitely not provoke Adele…

Why did it seem like there was always someone helping her?

Every crisis Adele faced would always turn into safety.

Resentment gradually eroded Edith’s heart.

The result was that the moment she was completely swallowed by the darkness came even sooner.

Edith’s strength was finally exhausted, and the moment she showed fatigue and weakness, the surrounding black mist surged towards her.

Even though she widened her eyes and struggled, she couldn’t change the outcome.

In an instant, Edith’s world was plunged into darkness.

“Is this… the end?”

Adele shrank her shoulders timidly, her voice weak and pitiful.

As if it had nothing to do with her, she was still that delicate and pitiful little thing.

But the truth was the opposite, everything in front of her was precisely because of her.

She looked at Edith from afar, seemingly drowning in the water, enveloped by darkness, completely losing the strength to struggle, even her purple eyes dimmed.

She looked no different from a dead person, except that Edith’s limbs and fingers were all spread out, her fingertips sharp, showing a ferocious look.

But how could she die just like that?

Adele could see that the current Edith was more like her body was asleep, her consciousness trapped in some kind of illusion.

Perhaps she didn’t even realize it, she still thought she had defeated the darkness.

“Of course not.” Li Lige looked at Adele deeply.

Adele nodded slightly.

She thought to herself, she couldn’t let Edith off so easily.

But if she were to kill Edith, Adele felt that it was a bit too much.

But who knew what the Vengeance Witch was thinking?

These beings who had fallen from humanity into foreign races, it wasn’t surprising what they thought or did.

Adele fell into deep thought, not realizing that a “crisis” was gradually approaching from behind her.

From the Vengeance Witch she briefly trusted.

A smile with an indescribable meaning appeared on Li Lige’s lips, then she reached out and suddenly pushed Adele’s back.

A gentle push, not using much force.

But it was enough to send the unsuspecting Adele into the abyss.

“Ah!”

Adele let out a short cry, then fell uncontrollably towards the spherical object that seemed to be suspended in the center of the cube.

Everything in the domain was controlled by Li Lige.

The ground beneath Adele’s feet was given to her by Li Lige.

But if Li Lige wanted to take it back, it was also easy.

Poor Adele would never have dreamed that Li Lige would suddenly attack her!

Her body fell, her mind blank, without a single thought.

But to say that Li Lige went through all this trouble to betray her…

Was she crazy, or was Li Lige crazy!

So there must be a reason that Adele didn’t know.

This wasn’t to excuse Li Lige…

It was just that a desperate person would always want to grasp at a straw, even if it was just self-deception!

Seeing that her body was about to hit the sphere that seemed to be suspended in the center of the cube, Adele closed her eyes tightly in fear.

She was always afraid of pain…

But the imagined pain didn’t come, the feeling of being enveloped by darkness was clear, like sinking into the deep sea, but not suffocating.

Someone was singing a sad and ethereal song in her ear.

Unlike Sharon’s hypnosis, the song was luring her soul forward.

She forgot everything, she just wanted to follow.

Following the song to an unknown and unreachable place…

………………

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a dusty palace.

The dark red tone was very much in line with the vampire style.

There were portraits of people with indistinguishable faces hanging on the walls, the colors of the oil paint dull.

Adele looked around in confusion.

She couldn’t understand why she was suddenly here.

But the moment she turned around, the girl’s heart stopped!

She saw a pair of purple eyes filled with tears.

And she was all too familiar with the owner of these purple eyes.

The president of the Black Feather Society… Edith!

Chapter 104: Is Only Black Tea Okay?

A faint flame ignited in Adele’s heart.

The emotion called “revenge” began to envelop her entire being.

“…Revenge… on her?”

Adele was like a puppet who had lost the ability to think for herself, her eyes becoming vacant, pitiful, and cute.

And incredibly alluring, like a young, ripening fruit.

Even knowing its sourness, one would still want to savor its sweetness.

“Yes, revenge, what a wonderful taste it is.”

“Imagine the person you fear, the person you hate, kneeling before you, begging for mercy, pleading for your forgiveness with tears streaming down their face…”

“But you won’t forgive her, how could you possibly forgive her?”

“Let them receive their due punishment in despair~”

“The justice of this world won’t be given to us.”

The woman’s pupils gradually contracted into a tiny dot, then expanded wildly.

“…Then we’ll take it ourselves.”

Her voice was soft, but it contained a thunderous power.

Adele shivered violently, but after the shiver, she was inevitably engulfed in a burning heat.

Her eyes went from fear, timidity, and cowering to calmness, and then to anger.

The Vengeance Witch admired her masterpiece with satisfaction, listening to Adele ask,

“Really, is it okay?”

“To take revenge on them, to make them regret, to make them…!”

Adele’s small hands clenched tightly.

But this anger was meaningless.

At least before meeting the Vengeance Witch, it was meaningless.

The witch took Adele’s small hand with heartache, giving her warmth through her touch.

Even though she couldn’t directly see Adele’s tragic past, she could still tell from her expression and demeanor what kind of terrible treatment the girl in front of her had suffered.

Just like the saying “a harmless man is guilty of possessing a jade.”

Adele was innocent, her beauty and gentleness were her original sins.

“Make them pay the price.”

The Vengeance Witch completed Adele’s unfinished sentence.

A tear slid down the corner of Adele’s eye, followed by uncontrollable sobs and murmurs,

“…Make them pay the price…”

“Sob… make them experience… what I went through!”

The Vengeance Witch pulled Adele into her arms, like a mother comforting her daughter.

She gently rocked Adele, her warm hand stroking the girl’s hair, her fingers wiping away the tears on Adele’s face.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Yes, my Adele, you’re not wrong, it’s all their fault.”

“You’ve passed the test. Let me reintroduce myself.”

“My name is Li Lige, the Vengeance Witch, and also Cromwell Academy’s…”

Li Lige paused, a little dazed. It turned out that she still cared, still couldn’t let go of the past.

Otherwise, she could have said it more calmly,

“Also Cromwell Academy’s former student council president.”

In other words, the current student council president had personally taken over the authority from Li Lige, achieving her current self.

No wonder Li Lige could still freely enter and exit the academy, even staying in the library to quietly enjoy reading, even though the witch hunt was becoming increasingly intense.

This couldn’t even be described as “turning a blind eye.”

This was practically “letting her off the hook”!

The student council president, who was so ruthless towards foreign races, was actually so tolerant towards her senior, towards Li Lige, who had completely become a witch, letting her go time and time again…

No wonder the vampires couldn’t accept it, humans were really protective of their own… commonly known as “double standards.”

From the human perspective, of course, they readily accepted this.

But as a vampire… a vampire who would fight witches in the future, it was really hard not to feel disheartened by humans.

This huge and shocking inside information made Adele’s pupils tremble.

Fortunately, she was huddled in Li Lige’s arms, her performance flawless, so Li Lige didn’t notice.

“Today, I will fulfill one of your revenge wishes, but the road ahead may require you to walk alone.”

“My time is running out, tell me, who do you want… to take revenge on?”

Who to take revenge on?

This was a good question.

It was also a question that completely reassured Adele.

Adele finally understood the purpose of the witch, Li Lige.

It wasn’t to do anything to her.

On the contrary, she was even kind enough to want to do something for her.

But perhaps it shouldn’t be called “kindness.”

This was also the result of Li Lige becoming a witch and being influenced by the witch’s traits.

In short, it meant that Adele was not only not in danger, but Li Lige was even willing to use her power to help Adele fulfill her wish.

A crisis had thus unexpectedly turned into a “pie falling from the sky” for Adele.

She didn’t need to pretend to be pitiful anymore to gain sympathy.

Yes, that’s right, before this, Adele’s fear, timidity, and pitiful cuteness were all a disguise.

She didn’t expect that she could actually deceive a witch born from the sins of humanity.

The sins of humanity, also known as the “Seven Deadly Sins,” were a concept mentioned in most novels, originating from Catholicism.

The sins were: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust.

Witches were human ability users who embraced the original sins. The witch traits displayed by Li Lige, according to classification – should belong to “wrath,” one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Adele thought for a moment, if she were to become a witch… which of the Seven Deadly Sins would she belong to?

She felt like it would be “lust”…

Ahem, back to the question.

Who did Adele want to take revenge on?

Dorothy? Amaterasu Kuro and Tsukimi Shiro?

Or someone else?

This was a difficult question to decide, but one thing was certain, Adele wouldn’t miss this free opportunity.

Logically speaking, Adele should choose to take revenge on Dorothy.

But considering that Dorothy was the true strongest villain in this world, the final boss for her future self to deal with, letting the Vengeance Witch, a character who was strong in the early stages but would eventually become an experience pack, take revenge on Dorothy…

It just didn’t seem realistic.

Even though the strength Dorothy currently displayed might not be as strong as Li Lige’s, who knew what kind of cheats she, as the villainous heroine and the Vampire Princess, could pull out.

Forget it, forget it, she wouldn’t do it.

Adele wasn’t just thinking about Li Lige’s life, she also had to consider her own life.

Got it! Adele’s eyes suddenly lit up.

She had figured out who she wanted to take revenge on.

“Edith…”

After a long time, the name finally came out of the slightly trembling girl’s mouth.

“Edith? Sounds a little familiar…”

Li Lige seemed to be lost in memories. After a while, she suddenly realized,

“Oh, it’s her. I remember she was a nasty girl before, I didn’t expect her to have made no progress after all these years.”

As the previous student council president, Li Lige had personally handed over the organization she led to the current student council president.

And the current student council president was one year older than Edith, but they were rivals – a “rivalry” where Edith was unilaterally crushed.

So, the year Li Lige was about to graduate seemed to be the year Edith entered the academy.

She didn’t expect Edith to have been a tough character in the academy since then.

To the point where even Li Lige had an impression of her.

“Have you decided on her?”

Li Lige asked gently, looking at Adele’s teary eyes.

Adele bit her lip and nodded firmly.

It was her, this annoying person.

The one who even raped her in the original novel.

How could Adele let her succeed in this life?

So she might as well take revenge on her with Li Lige’s help before anything happened.

As for the result of the revenge…

Adele guessed that Li Lige wouldn’t really kill Edith, she couldn’t do that and make the current student council president look bad.

But she would definitely teach Edith an unforgettable lesson.

“Yes, Edith… I want to make her pay!”

“Okay, we’ll make her… pay.”

Li Lige narrowed her eyes.

Her words were calm, but they sent chills down Adele’s spine.

At the same time, in the office of Edith, the president of the Black Feather Society.

Edith swiveled in her chair, one leg crossed, her black silk stockings visible. She frowned slightly, looking out the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Under the clear sky, crows with crimson eyes cawed and circled in the air.

“Why do I feel uneasy…?”

The girl murmured to herself, but couldn’t find an answer.

Crows were the symbol of the Black Feather Society.

But most of the time, they were also ominous birds that symbolized disaster.

………………

“President, the report you arranged has been published, including online, we also have people fueling the flames…”

“Okay, I know, thank you, Vicky.”

Edith smiled and interrupted the girl’s words. Everything was proceeding according to her expectations, the situation was under control.

Edith couldn’t compete with that deeply rooted organization in terms of strength yet.

But in terms of public opinion, the current Black Feather Society was crushing the student council.

Although occasionally someone would anonymously post online, accusing the Black Feather Society of its atrocities, they would be quickly silenced – physically.

As long as the person who spoke up was dealt with, then the matter they spoke up about wouldn’t exist anymore.

The Black Feather Society was truly “living up to its name” in its darkness, but it also wanted to portray itself as a beacon of light.

And most of the vampires who joined the Black Feather Society, after witnessing the reality within, didn’t think about rebelling, they even submitted in a way that made people feel frustrated, and naturally became supporters.

If you asked why, it was because the vampire concept of hierarchy was so deeply ingrained in their hearts.

“There’s one more thing.”

Vicky’s expression was a little unusual, which piqued Edith’s curiosity.

“What is it?”

She narrowed her alluring purple eyes and unconsciously tugged at the black veil on her face, making sure it wouldn’t fall off.

Edith always did this, it had become an unconscious habit.

She was afraid of others seeing her face.

No matter how she used public opinion to portray herself as a stunning beauty behind the veil, it couldn’t change the reality.

A lie repeated a hundred times wasn’t the truth.

Vicky reported truthfully,

“President, that girl is here to see you.”

“…Adele?”

Edith was a little surprised, but after the surprise, she couldn’t help but utter the girl’s name with delight.

“Yes, I’ve invited her to Conference Room No. 1.”

Vicky deliberately emphasized the words “Conference Room No. 1.”

Edith naturally understood.

That place was, in a sense, the origin of evil.

It was one of the places where the Black Feather Society hid its dirty secrets.

Edith had also… played with some girls who interested her there.

It was called a necessary test to join the Black Feather Society.

It was like learning all the worst aspects of the West.

Even now, many prestigious universities in the West, whether it was the student council or fraternities, still retained many disgusting initiation rituals.

Some were bizarre, some were terrifying, and most were a form of physical and mental humiliation.

For example, “new members need to run naked around the academy,” “new members need to ‘pleasure themselves’ in front of everyone, or reveal their deepest secrets.”

There were even cases of “offering their virginity” to the seniors of the student council, such a vile practice.

But she was a Western vampire.

Historically, with the high degree of integration between vampires and humans, many vampires became nobles and capitalists with their powerful abilities.

Their vampire descendants, after entering universities, might also become leaders of student councils, and might even be the ones who established these initiation ritual rules.

Of course, this was just speculation. There were noble vampires in this world, and there were also despicable humans.

Clearly, Edith wouldn’t let go of the lamb that had delivered itself to her doorstep~

“I understand, Vicky, go pour her a cup of black tea, I’ll go and keep her company soon~”

Edith’s tone revealed her good mood, and she completely dismissed her previous “unease” as an illusion.

Vicky’s eyes flickered slightly when she heard her order, then she nodded gently.

“Yes.”

“Are you interested in her, Vicky?”

Edith suddenly asked.

Vicky was her capable assistant, with long, curly brown hair, always wearing a long robe that covered her ankles, like a medieval witch.

Also a Sequence One, she didn’t have the arrogance that other blood nobles usually had, instead, she was normal and low-key.

In other words, among the blood nobles who were all guilty of the “sin of pride,” she, who was almost humble, seemed out of place.

She had been following Edith since she entered the academy, as if she was born to recognize her monarch. She believed that Edith could bring something to the vampires in this academy.

And reality proved that Edith had indeed done it.

The existence of the Black Feather Society had gradually elevated the status of vampire students in the academy, this was a fact, and it had also taken away many rights that originally belonged to the student council.

The days when human elites led the student council, and the student council led the entire academy, were gone.

Although there were inevitably some “necessary” sacrifices in this process.

For example, “Adele” might soon become one of these “necessary sacrifices.”

Welcome to the Black Feather Society, Adele.

You have to experience darkness first before you can have wings to fly.

“No, President, please enjoy it yourself,”

Vicky replied calmly.

As for her impression of Adele… although she seemed pure on the surface, maybe she was a minx in private?

Otherwise, Vicky couldn’t explain how a pure and innocent girl could make so many goddesses fall for her.

The girl instinctively realized that there was more to Adele than met the eye.

But she wouldn’t pour cold water on President Edith’s excitement.

She could only wish her a good time.

And hope that President Edith wouldn’t get into big trouble because of this.

Edith nodded slightly and joked,

“I’m really curious what kind of person Vicky would like, a man or a woman. You’re too chaste, it makes me, the president, feel a sense of crisis~”

If their relationship wasn’t close enough, saying this would be no different from saying “Are you trying to usurp my power?”

But obviously, their relationship didn’t need this kind of testing. Vicky turned around to entertain Adele as Edith requested, and replied casually,

“You’re joking, President. Can’t I be asexual?”

“Ah, I forgot about that possibility, my mistake.”

Vicky dragged her long robe and left Edith’s office.

At the same time, in the conference room, Adele was waiting anxiously.

Unfortunately, Li Lige wasn’t by her side, making her feel uneasy.

Although Li Lige said it was to avoid alerting the enemy, letting her enter the enemy’s base camp alone… wasn’t this a bit too risky!

And what if Li Lige was just bragging…

Wouldn’t she be trapped in the Black Feather Society?

The door of the Black Feather Society was easy to enter, but difficult to exit.

She would at least lose a layer of skin!

But now that the deed was done, Adele could do nothing but wait nervously for Edith’s arrival and trust Li Lige.

She could only hope that this early-stage “experience pack” could be a little more reliable…

After all, she was the first “human cheat” in Adele’s protagonist career…

Time passed slowly as Adele waited anxiously.

Then, with a “creak,” someone suddenly pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.

Adele immediately looked over and saw Miss Vicky, who had received her earlier.

She had a low-key personality, but her status was the vice president of the entire Black Feather Society, second only to the president, and she was carrying a pot of hot tea.

Adele quickly stood up from her seat as a sign of respect for Vice President Vicky.

From this, it could be seen that Adele was really cowardly.

But she had a different attitude towards Celeste and the others.

She was indeed a spoiled bad girl.

Vicky gave her a natural smile.

“Don’t be nervous, Adele, Edith thinks highly of you, and so do I.”

“B-but I’m not ready yet…”

Adele wanted to say “I’m not ready to join the Black Feather Society yet.”

But before she could finish, Vicky interrupted her,

“Some things never require preparation, when they come, they are unavoidable.”

It felt like her words had a deeper meaning.

Adele shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Vicky had already walked closer to her.

“I’ve already reported your visit to President Edith, she’s busy right now, preparing materials to apply for higher subsidies and benefits for vampire students in need from the academy.”

“After all, rights are earned, and that’s the original intention of President Edith in establishing the Black Feather Society.”

“…”

It sounded very grand, Adele thought.

But she could only cooperate with Vicky’s performance, saying softly in an admiring tone,

“President Edith is a very capable person…”

“Please have a seat and some tea while you wait for her.”

“Okay… wait, what kind of tea?”

“Only black tea, is that okay?”

Vicky’s smile never changed, but Adele’s smile stiffened.

Wait… black tea!?

Li Lige! Where are you!

Someone is about to rap* your little sister!

Chapter 103: Let’s Take Revenge Together

Adele realized that finding out the reason behind the scar on Edith’s face would, to a large extent, reveal how the girl had gradually become the “Miss Black Veil” she was today.

However, Adele currently had no intention of empathizing with the two-faced president of the Black Feather Society.

She even wished Edith would stay far away from her.

It was best for annoying people to stay out of sight.

Adele hadn’t been out for long, and it was obviously inappropriate to return to the dormitory now, which would also make Sharon uneasy.

So Adele had no choice but to continue wandering around the campus. She didn’t want to go to the library this time.

The girl thought about it and decided that the swimming pool was a good choice.

Yes, she could exercise and cultivate her sentiments, hehe~

But on her way to the swimming pool, excited, Adele unexpectedly ran into a senior she had recently met.

Lin Baiyuan, the vice president of the student council, was also present on the day Adele was kidnapped by the twin sisters, Amaterasu Kuro and Tsukimi Shiro.

At that time, she seemed to be in a hurry to take some important documents somewhere.

But when she saw Adele, she stopped in surprise.

And she took the initiative to greet Adele.

“Miss Adele? I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Are you feeling better?”

“I’m ashamed that the student council was the last to arrive that day. On behalf of the student council, I apologize to you.”

Unlike Edith’s pretentious gestures, Lin Baiyuan’s demeanor, both inside and out, exuded sincerity.

Genuine sincerity, not a poorly disguised performance.

And there were no members of the press or photography club holding cameras around the student council vice president, ready to capture her shining moments for publicity and further solidify the president’s persona.

The student council never had personas, they were all about authenticity.

At the same time, they were very pragmatic. Everyone adhered to their duties and always did more than they said.

It was a different style from the Black Feather Society.

It could even be said that they were two completely opposite extremes.

Although Adele was somewhat touched that the student council vice president was still thinking about her, and even felt guilty for the student council’s late arrival and apologized to her, Hermione’s words to Adele suddenly came to mind.

Like a cold wind, they lingered in Adele’s mind, making her expression stiffen slightly.

• “The condition for joining the student council is to kill your fellow vampires!”

• “You will always have half vampire blood flowing in your body… you can’t change that, you are a vampire!”

The girl’s breathing became erratic, and it took her a while to calm down.

Adele gave Lin Baiyuan a wary look, pursed her lips, and said softly,

“I’m feeling better, thank you for your concern, Vice President.”

Faced with the girl’s sudden coldness, Lin Baiyuan just smiled bitterly.

She could probably guess the reason.

“That’s good.”

With that, she brushed past Adele.

At that moment, Adele didn’t turn her head, but simply asked in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft,

“If no one had come to save me that day, would your student council have come?”

Lin Baiyuan paused in her steps.

“…At least, I would have come.”

“I see, I understand.”

Adele snorted softly and left without looking back.

Lin Baiyuan couldn’t represent the entire student council. She might be one of the few doves in the student council who were friendly to vampires.

Or maybe she wasn’t friendly to vampires at all.

It was just that because Adele had half human blood, she tried to understand Adele as half human, so she showed concern and sympathy for Adele.

As for what the other student council members thought, it was obvious.

They were all the same, the student council and the Black Feather Society.

No one would take a marginal person like her seriously…

No one would protect her…

As Adele walked, she sniffed, her eyes reddening uncontrollably.

She finally understood what it felt like to be a mixed-blood.

Rejected by vampires, not accepted by humans, existing in the cracks, struggling to survive.

And this feeling, the original Adele might have experienced for a long, long time…

It was a sunny day, but she felt dizzy under the bright sunlight.

There wasn’t a single ray of light in the whole world that belonged to her.

Might as well let the whole world fall into darkness…

If someone else said this, it would just be dismissed as a chuunibyou outburst.

But who would have thought that the future Adele might actually have the power to do it.

She walked unsteadily under the sunlight.

After a few steps, Adele suddenly squatted down, hugged her knees, and buried her face in her arms.

Ignoring the surprised and mocking gazes of passersby, the girl’s shoulders trembled.

After a while, she calmed down. Adele wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, her delicate and cute appearance even more pitiful.

She suddenly didn’t want to go to the swimming pool anymore.

They were all bad people.

They weren’t even as good-looking as her Celeste and Hermione…

But she had already acted spoiled with them recently.

If she went to them again…

Would they find her annoying?

The reality was, of course not. Celeste and Hermione couldn’t wait for Adele to cling to them forever.

But at this moment, Adele, with her sensitive mind, was overthinking.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to the study room in the academy library to rest for a while and take a nap.

When her mood improved, she would go home and happily spend the last two days of her vacation, preparing for the upcoming internship tasks.

Adele specifically found an empty study room in a corner of the library, then pushed the door open and entered.

There was a small bookshelf in the study room. She rummaged through it and picked out an interesting storybook.

Then she placed it on the desk in front of her, using it as a soft cushion for sleeping.

So that’s what you’re looking for books for?

Why not just grab any book then?

But of course, that wouldn’t do for Adele.

If she woke up, she would still need this book as entertainment.

Perhaps because she was distracted, or maybe the temperature of the air conditioner in the study room was just right, and the ordinary study desk gave her a feeling of being in class, Adele relaxed her body and fell asleep not long after.

When she woke up, she heard the chirping of birds outside the window, the sound of the air conditioner blowing cold air was clearly audible in the quiet study room.

And also noticeable was the rustling sound of a woman flipping through pages.

“…”

Adele opened her eyes, looking dazed from sleep.

Her mind was blank and confused.

For a long time, she didn’t realize anything was wrong, her thinking ability was on hold.

It wasn’t until her senses returned that she involuntarily retracted her exposed calves under her school uniform skirt and gasped.

They felt a little cold.

But her body was fine, it was like her upper body was in summer and her lower body was in winter.

Could it be because she forgot to wear white silk stockings, so the air conditioner in the study room was punishing her?

No… why did her shoulders feel a little heavy, like there was a reassuring weight on them?

Adele looked up at her shoulder and found that it was covered by a woman’s jacket.

It could be seen that the owner of the jacket was tall, otherwise, it wouldn’t have reached Adele’s buttocks.

Adele finally reacted and sat up straight, startled.

Her vision was no longer limited to the small desk, instantly encompassing most of the study room.

And the mature woman sitting in front of her, her beautiful long hair cascading down, wearing only a white shirt.

No need for complicated decorations, just a shirt was enough to highlight the woman’s stunning beauty and maturity.

The temperature in the study room wasn’t high, but the woman had unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt, the faintly exposed collarbones making Adele’s imagination run wild.

At least Adele couldn’t help but gulp.

The woman was focused on reading a thick book in front of her. Noticing Adele waking up, she immediately greeted her in a friendly tone,

“I think you must have had a good dream, welcome back.”

The woman smiled and raised her eyes, the hint of purple in her pupils made Adele’s heart skip a beat.

Because at that moment, Adele remembered another woman with purple eyes.

Edith, the president of the Black Feather Society.

But it was obvious that the woman in front of her was a human, Adele didn’t sense any bloody smell from her.

Instead, her jacket smelled very nice, with a faint milky fragrance.

At the same time, if you observed carefully, you would find that she was clearly different from Edith.

Although they both had long black hair, the woman in front of her had straight hair like tassels, reaching her waist.

“Wait till my hair reaches my waist…?”

As for Edith’s long hair, the ends were slightly curled lazily.

Her purple eyes were also more hypocritical, far from being as clear and trustworthy as the woman in front of her.

A senior? Or a young teacher?

Adele couldn’t tell the woman’s identity, but she knew that the jacket on her back belonged to this woman.

So she immediately expressed her thanks, feeling a little embarrassed that a stranger had seen her sleeping face, and wanted to escape from here quickly.

“…Th-thank you.”

“Um, here’s your jacket, I won’t stay in the study room and disturb you anymore.”

The woman shook her head gently.

“I don’t think it’s a disturbance.”

“Rather, it was me who barged in knowing there was someone in this study room.”

“Did I disturb you?”

“…No, not at all.”

Adele’s gaze lowered guiltily, thinking that the woman didn’t have to be so polite.

This study room wasn’t hers, and she couldn’t occupy such a large space alone.

She just came in to rest because she saw that there was no one inside.

As for now, she should return it to someone who really needed it.

Adele handed the jacket back to the woman with purple eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Then she put the storybook she hadn’t had time to read back on the bookshelf according to her memory and prepared to leave.

But at that moment, the woman with long, straight black hair tapped her fingers lightly on the desk, making a “tap, tap” sound.

This action drew Adele’s attention back, and she looked at the woman’s face curiously.

She was sure that she had never seen this woman before, she was a stranger, but beautiful.

Was there such a person in the academy?

But since she was a human, it was normal.

Humans were all low-key weirdos, they liked to “play the underdog.”

Unconsciously, Adele had even mentally separated “humans” as a separate category.

Did this mean that she was gradually starting to accept her mixed-blood identity as neither human nor vampire?

Subconsciously, Adele was starting to distrust both humans and vampires?

She would probably only trust a few specific people.

She began to understand that she didn’t need to find a sense of belonging… she just needed to find a home.

A sense of belonging came from a group.

A home came from individuals.

“Is there something I can do for you, miss?”

Adele asked the kind and considerate woman who had put a jacket on her.

If it was a small matter like bringing her a pancake or picking up a package, Adele would gladly help.

But her train of thought was too strange, who would ask a strange girl to do these things for them?

The woman smiled and turned to look at Adele.

“No, not me.”

“It’s you, are you sure there’s nothing I can do for you?”

“…? W-what do you mean?”

Adele was a little flustered, her pink pupils like delicate flower petals swaying and falling in the breeze, landing gracefully on a clear pond, causing ripples on the surface.

“Vengeance Witch, you searched for this information on the forum, right? And… you spent almost three hours on it.”

The woman chuckled. In her calm eyes, Adele was like a naked person, with no secrets to hide.

Adele opened her mouth slightly, her hands involuntarily clenching into fists, although they were small and powerless pink fists.

“You… how did you know?”

“Are you a forum administrator? A hacker? Who are you…”

“Administrator… I guess you could say that. I didn’t expect them to haven’t revoked my account privileges yet.”

“As for who I am, that’s a really troublesome question. Different people will probably come to different conclusions.”

“Then what about me?” Adele asked nervously.

“To you, I am the one you’ve been looking for – the Vengeance Witch.”

Like being struck by lightning, the astonishing and unbelievable answer appeared before Adele’s eyes, making her pupils tremble.

If Adele hadn’t instinctively grabbed the wall beside her, she might have collapsed.

But even though she didn’t collapse, her legs still went weak.

Oh my god! The experience pack wants to devour its host!

It was like the legendary “butterfly effect,” a butterfly flapping its wings could cause a storm on the other side of the ocean!

Now, Adele’s actions of searching for information related to the Vengeance Witch had caused the Vengeance Witch to appear.

The impact was no less than a storm.

And poor Adele was at the center of the storm.

It seemed calm on the surface, but she could be destroyed by the approaching storm and waves at any time.

The moment Adele most wanted to meet the Vengeance Witch was undoubtedly during her internship task in the near future, when she encountered the dying,奄奄一息 Vengeance Witch!

Because only then would the Vengeance Witch’s powerful strength not harm her.

And only then could she inherit the witch’s power.

Although she would transform from a human into a witch because of this, Adele no longer had much hope for humanity.

Instead, power was what she desperately needed.

If everything went according to the script, it would be the best route for Adele.

But the script had gone crazy!

Why did she have to provoke the Vengeance Witch in advance…

The complete, beautiful, and powerful witch.

But these attributes, apart from making Adele feel fear, didn’t arouse any excitement in her.

“S-s-sorry! I shouldn’t have been so nosy, I shouldn’t have searched for that, sob…”

Adele shamefully cowered. She had heard that witches were ruthless killers, the outliers among foreign races, the scum of the earth.

Under these circumstances, it was already good enough that she could stand properly without collapsing in fear in front of this woman.

“Searched randomly? You weren’t searching randomly. You searched for three hours straight, not even letting go of information about other witches.”

“You even found out that the current student council president might be investigating me, her senior.”

The Vengeance Witch smiled faintly, easily seeing through Adele’s clumsy lie.

“Senior?”

Adele keenly caught this identity.

Could it be that the Vengeance Witch was also a member of the Cromwell Academy Student Council?

And from what she said, she used to be a forum administrator.

And only student council members above the rank of minister could hold the position of administrator…

But now wasn’t the time to focus on this, Adele’s eyes were welling up with tears.

She could only hope that by acting pitiful, she could make the witch spare her.

“Why are you so afraid of me~”

She didn’t know if Adele’s delicate and pitiful appearance really worked, or if her “playing pitiful” tactic was effective.

But judging from her tone, this witch didn’t seem to have any hostility towards Adele, nor did she intend to do anything cruel to her.

“B-because…”

Adele stammered, like a primary school student being scolded by a teacher, standing in front of the witch, her head lowered, at a loss.

“Because I’m a witch, one of the most dangerous foreign races, that’s what the current textbooks teach, right?”

“…”

Adele didn’t dare to nod, nor could she shake her head against her conscience.

So she simply responded with silence.

The witch’s smile was so beautiful that even though she was scared, Adele couldn’t help but steal a few more glances.

She had a kind of mature beauty, even more mature than Hermione, who had just entered the realm of being a big sister.

More importantly, there was a certain charm about her, always calm and composed, as if nothing could affect her emotions.

As for Hermione, just Adele alone was enough to make her mood fluctuate.

The witch beckoned to Adele.

Adele, like a puppet being manipulated, walked towards her with mechanical steps.

Of course, she wasn’t really being manipulated, she was just acting too obedient and cowardly, even the witch couldn’t help but laugh.

“You don’t have to be so afraid of me.”

“It’s fate, actually. This study room you’re in is one I used to frequent.”

As she spoke, the witch showed a hint of loneliness.

What was the difference between being a witch and an ordinary person?

At least for now, Adele hadn’t noticed anything.

“And quite coincidentally, I met you here.”

Adele had already arrived in front of the witch, very close to her, stopping in her tracks, her hands nervously clasped together.

The Vengeance Witch reached out and gently lifted Adele’s cute chin, carefully observing and admiring her.

She sighed sincerely,

“You’re so cute~”

“You’re my type.”

Adele felt the coolness of the Vengeance Witch’s fingertips, her hair standing on end, trembling with fear.

“So, tell me, who bullied you so badly, who broke your heart?”

“Let’s make her pay, okay?”

The woman’s voice gradually turned cold and sharp.

It was as if a monster was residing in her body, peering at the world through her deep purple eyes, peering into people’s hearts.

She wanted to overturn all the darkness, to subvert this… disappointing world.

Affected by the Vengeance Witch’s emotions, Adele became dazed.

The only thing she could hear was the woman’s words,

• “Let’s take revenge on her… together?”
