Chapter 327: More Delicious Than All the World’s Knowledge
Seraph’s warning startled Adele. The angel wouldn’t say such a thing unless she had noticed something others hadn’t. But the girl still wanted to defend Victoria. After a day of interaction, aside from Victoria’s occasional overly forward and intimate actions, she was actually a good woman. Adele had developed a certain fondness for her.
“I don’t know about that…”
“But I think Headmistress Winona and so many powerful mages in the magical world have already confirmed Victoria’s identity.”
“With their knowledge and understanding of Victoria…I think they shouldn’t be wrong.”
Seraph didn’t refute Adele directly, only saying, “Indeed, I hope my intuition is wrong.” It wasn’t just intuition, but an angel’s instinct for detecting enemies. Victoria gave her a bad feeling. Such women, like Xiao Ai and Victoria, appearing around Adele again and again, was clearly not a good sign. But she chose to say this, undoubtedly considering Adele’s feelings. The cold, machine-like angel girl had unknowingly grown to the point where she could consider others’ feelings.
And she didn’t seem to consider that if Xiao Ai and Victoria were both dangerous, posing a threat to angels and the “Lord,” then what kind of being was Adele, who attracted even them?
Adele suddenly reached out and embraced Seraph like a doll. The angel girl blushed at this sudden intimacy. But unlike others, Seraph’s shyness was always hidden deep inside. So no matter how outrageous Adele’s actions were towards her, she rarely expressed it directly.
“Come on, Seraph, don’t think too much~”
“Relax, it’s boring to always be so serious and expressionless.”
“Whether the person who came out of that chaotic space is Victoria or not, at least in terms of attitude towards life, she might be much better than you, Seraph.”
It was true. Victoria was actively embracing everything in the modern world, actively facing life, even actively hitting on girls? Anyway, it was something like that. Although she also grieved for the past and the departed loved ones, it wasn’t good to let sadness linger and affect her life, to dwell on it. Seraph was too rigid, influenced by the command of that so-called “Lord” for thousands of years, only loosening up after meeting Adele. Adele thought this was a good change.
But Seraph wavered, suspecting it was a precursor to her fall. She was confused and lost, but she couldn’t refuse Adele’s embrace, the warmth and comfort she offered.
“Can I really relax…Adele?” she murmured.
A glint of mischief flashed in Adele’s eyes. She rested her chin on Seraph’s shoulder and nibbled on the girl’s earlobe.
“Mmm…!” It felt like the Seraph of the past, who rarely moaned, like an exquisite doll of desire, was now becoming more and more adorable, more and more like a real human. Whether her heart now leaned more towards her angelic form or this human body she created was unknown.
Adele glanced at Xiao Ai, who was staring at them, curiously observing Mama biting the angel’s ear. She signaled Xiao Ai to be obedient, not to look or use her mind-reading. Xiao Ai pursed her lips, looking a bit unwilling, but she still obediently followed her mother’s instructions.
Fortunately, Xiao Ai was an honest child, the type who kept her word. Otherwise, Adele wouldn’t dare to be so unrestrained with other girls in front of her. After all, for a curious child, the influence would be too negative. But even though she wasn’t looking, the little one’s fantasies never stopped. It was unknown how this would affect Xiao Ai, but everything had a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. If similar things kept happening around Xiao Ai, one day she might be tempted by the astray flower and head in an unpredictable direction.
But that wasn’t something Adele would consider now. She focused all her attention on the angel girl Seraph, firmly believing that Seraph was a doll that existed for her. Seraph didn’t deny this. But she felt a strange thrill. Because of Xiao Ai’s presence, she couldn’t react subconsciously to Adele’s actions. She endured. When Adele gently bit her neck, she endured. When Adele’s hand slipped into her silver-white dress, she endured. Even when more outrageous things were done to her, she didn’t dare make a sound. Only slight gasps were particularly noticeable in the quiet night.
Adele didn’t expect Seraph to be so sensitive today. In no time…it happened. Silently, she withdrew her hand from beneath the girl’s skirt, admiring the glistening moisture in the moonlight. Seraph turned around, her face flushed with a spring-tide blush, no longer icy. Her eyes trembled as she gazed at Adele, at her fingertips. She seemed to have something to say, but in the end, she couldn’t say it. Instead, Adele tentatively touched Seraph’s lips with the fingertip she had just used.
She wasn’t actually malicious, just wanting to tease Seraph. If Seraph didn’t want to, that was fine. Adele understood the principle of not doing to others what you wouldn’t want done to yourself. But Seraph just shrugged and closed her eyes, obediently taking Adele’s finger into her mouth.
“…” Such a good angel. Adele was slightly surprised, but also looked satisfied. After Seraph licked her finger clean, she even opened her mouth and stuck out her pink tongue, showing Adele that she had swallowed everything.
Adele’s breathing became rapid, and she pounced on Seraph. The two lay on the bed, gazing into each other’s eyes. Xiao Ai, with her back to them, seemed to be fast asleep. The little one had played with First Snow for a long time and was probably tired.
“Let’s be gentle, slow~,” Adele whispered into Seraph’s ear.
Seraph’s expression remained unchanged, but her blush deepened. She nodded and murmured an indistinct “Mm.”
………………
Late at night, in the residence arranged by Headmistress Winona, Victoria sat before the glowing computer screen, seemingly tireless. Her gaze greedily swept across the documents on the computer, reading and memorizing the information within, at an incredibly fast speed. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say she could read ten lines at a glance. But even this learning ability wasn’t enough to satisfy her. She even murmured in a daze, “This human body is such a burden…”
The moment she came to her senses, Victoria shuddered. She wondered what she had just said…or rather, from what perspective and identity had she said those words? What did “human body” mean? Was her soul no longer human?
Victoria’s head started to hurt again. She gritted her teeth and held her forehead. It was the same when she met that girl named Adele. With Victoria’s consideration for women, she knew that sharing a straw would bother people. But she instinctively wanted to get close to that girl. Why? Was it her own will, or the will of something else? Was that monster…really dead in that space? Or was it hiding in her body, in her soul… No! Victoria was certain it was dead! And she had killed it herself. Otherwise, the sacrifice of that entire generation of mages wouldn’t have been meaningful.
Victoria could deny everything, but she couldn’t deny their efforts and struggles, including her own. Moreover, Victoria had already used various magic to verify and hadn’t found any traces of the otherworldly monster parasitizing her body. She had also undergone numerous examinations by both the magical world and modern science. Physically, there was no problem. Only the ethereal soul couldn’t be examined.
So, was her soul polluted? Was that why she had become like that monster, with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, like a glutton, tirelessly learning everything about this era? Whether it was electrical appliances, smartphones, or computers, Victoria could master them incredibly quickly, to the point where she felt that this human body couldn’t contain this higher-dimensional learning ability. Was this powerful ability a blessing from God, or a curse from the monster?
Victoria clutched her head in pain, unable to find an answer. She wanted to endure, to do nothing, to think and learn nothing. But this greed for knowledge was even more addictive than the strongest hallucinogen, something even a legendary mage couldn’t resist.
Victoria was afraid. Because she didn’t know where this thirst for knowledge would lead her. To heaven, or hell? And what she feared even more was that the girl’s image lingered in her mind. She seemed even more delicious than all the knowledge in the world…
