Chapter 315: Against the Deity
Seraph’s sudden loss of control frightened Adele greatly. Fortunately, it ended without incident. Not only was Xiao Ai unharmed, but Seraph’s consciousness also gradually returned. She also promised Adele that she wouldn’t lose control again.
“…I believe you.” The tear stains at the corners of Adele’s eyes hadn’t completely disappeared. She pouted her lips pitifully, looking very kissable. The next moment, she leaned against Seraph’s shoulder and gently bit the angel’s shoulder. The vampire girl’s fangs pierced Seraph’s skin. But Seraph only trembled slightly, neither struggling nor resisting.
If this was Adele’s way of venting, it was too light. Leaving only a pair of bite marks. But Adele really didn’t know how to punish the angel girl. So she could only instinctively vent her sadness by “biting.” Not that kind of biting!
As for Xiao Ai, at this moment, filled with concern for her mother, she slowly approached Adele, completely disregarding the fact that the angel Seraph before her might be a dangerous being.
“Mama…” she called softly, her teary-eyed appearance arousing pity. It had to be said that even Seraph, who had just felt the urge to eliminate the heretic, sincerely felt Xiao Ai’s cuteness at this moment. After all, she was a girl identical to Adele’s younger self. As long as one had some affection for Adele, no one could refuse Xiao Ai’s appearance, right?
It even made one fantasize, if she also conquered Xiao Ai, could she exclusively enjoy both Adele’s girl and…loli sentence? No, absolutely not! Stop those thoughts right now!
Their eyes met, and Xiao Ai was the first to shyly look away. It was understandable. Although Xiao Ai was very powerful in the Secret Realm, able to control the elements within, in the outside world, she was just a little fool with powerful magic she didn’t know how to use.
“Xiao Ai? It’s okay…”
“Don’t be afraid, Mama avenged you and bit sister hard!” Adele wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, then revealed her small canine teeth, looking rather proud.
“…” Sister… A very common and ordinary term for humans, but for Seraph, it was a strange and intriguing title. So, she…could also be a sister? Just this title alone caused Seraph’s heart to waver.
Xiao Ai understood Adele’s words, or rather, she read Adele’s heart. So she gratefully threw herself into the girl’s arms. As for Seraph, she took this opportunity to change from her fallen position to sitting on the ground, expressionlessly watching the “mother and daughter.”
Then, she also apologized to Xiao Ai and introduced herself for the first time, no longer as impolite as before.
“I’m sorry, Xiao Ai, my name is Seraph.”
Xiao Ai glanced at Adele, hesitant and uneasy. She didn’t understand why Seraph suddenly felt such deep hostility towards her. She was just very afraid of Seraph at that time. But the girl before her was also Mama’s good friend… The little girl didn’t seem to fully understand the complex relationships like “lover,” “loved one,” “partner,” and so on. So everyone was a “friend.”
Adele gently stroked Xiao Ai’s head, encouraging her telepathically. Encouraged, Xiao Ai bit her lip and nervously called out the angel’s name.
“…Sara-hu?” Her language acquisition was now very fast, with only some pronunciation issues. Perhaps this was related to Xiao Ai not having completely passed her teething stage. Yes, Xiao Ai still had “teething.” If Adele noticed this, she could probably deduce that Xiao Ai hadn’t been born for long. Or another possibility: that within the Secret Realm, she had no concept of time and naturally wouldn’t age. Because she was created as a little girl, she remained that way. But after coming to the real world, her body naturally entered the realm of time and began to grow.
“Ph,” Seraph corrected softly. It seemed she couldn’t appreciate the cuteness of the little girl’s unclear pronunciation.
After calming down, Adele glanced at Seraph with slight coquettishness. Xiao Ai clutched her mother’s skirt tightly.
“Sa…Seraph.”
“Call her ‘Sister.’” Adele, seeing the possibility of Seraph and Xiao Ai getting along harmoniously, naturally spared no effort to bring them closer.
Xiao Ai blinked her pink eyes, identical to Adele’s but with less cunning and more innocence. Then she called out, “Sister…”
“…” Seraph couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart at that moment. But it certainly wasn’t bad. Just by looking at Seraph’s expression, Adele understood her current feelings. It was the tacit understanding that came with long-term companionship. Otherwise, if someone else looked at Seraph, they would probably think, Why does this person always have the same expression?
But even the same expression had subtle differences. Only those very familiar with her could discern them.
“It’s so great that you two can get along so peacefully.”
“But Seraph, can you explain to me…”
“Why did you lose control against Xiao Ai just now?” Adele wasn’t someone who liked to pry, but it concerned Xiao Ai’s safety. She felt she should find a way to get Seraph to explain clearly.
Seraph remained silent for a while. Finally, under Adele’s concerned gaze, she nodded. The girl breathed a sigh of relief, listening to the angel girl’s explanation. And the first sentence made her stunned.
“Xiao Ai…might be the creation of a false god.”
“To me, that’s a heresy that needs to be eliminated.” Seraph’s calm tone was laced with gravity, even carrying a faint scent of blood from ancient times.
Faith was a terrifying thing. Many massacres in human history could prove this. But that wasn’t the scariest part. The scariest thing was when the god of faith truly existed…
Thinking of this, Adele’s heart trembled. According to Seraph, it seemed that to protect her daughter, she might have to become enemies with Seraph’s so-called “Lord” in the future.
—For my daughter, I might even kill a god??
That was too much! She just wanted to raise a cute daughter normally!
More importantly, Adele suddenly became curious. If that time really came, would Seraph side with her, or with the “God” she worshipped?
