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

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

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

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

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

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

Adele did save her life.

 

But Adele herself had become a “noob.”

In short: she was screwed.

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

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

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

Adele had given up on her first cheat in life.

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

 

So generous that she wanted to cry.

That was the “Holy Healing Potion”…

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

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

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

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

You could find many contradictions in her.

 

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

Stubbornly unlike the opportunistic girl she seemed to be.

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

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

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

Adele just needed to not regret it now.

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

 

Celeste was also helping her.

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

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

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

What was the crime for harboring a fugitive?

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

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

 

Celeste pursed her lips and finally nodded.

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

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

Letting an outsider like Li Lige live there…

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Celeste’s heart skipped a beat.

 

“…Yes! Master.”

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

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

Or maybe she trusted Celeste.

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

But she could only control herself, not others.

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

 

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

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

But Li Lige didn’t think it was luck.

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

Therefore, there was only one possibility.

Adele had anticipated her death, she had sensed something.

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

 

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

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

Perhaps this was the trouble of the intelligent age.

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

Her vision was too narrow.

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

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

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

 

And she was sleeping soundly!

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

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

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

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

“She doesn’t look that bad.”

Celeste muttered.

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Just how many secrets about Adele did she not know?

Why would this seemingly noble vampire call her Master?

And why did she have the Holy Healing Potion?

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

“…Yes.”

“Li Lige, you rest well.”

 

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

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

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

“…”

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

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

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

 

Celeste nodded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was a scene comparable to hell.

In fact, she almost stepped into that realm today.

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

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

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

She never wanted to do anything extra beyond that.

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

Hehe, justice.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She even followed Li Lige to the human world.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Showing unprecedented emotion and shock.

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

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

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

He was eventually burned to ashes in agony.

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

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

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

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

“…”

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

Then, she started talking to herself.

“Are you still there, angel?”

“Are you still by my side?”

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

Li Lige suddenly choked up.

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

………………

“Master, who is she?”

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

Her Master’s possessiveness was evident.

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

“Washed-up… senior?”

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

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

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

“But Master, you…”

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

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

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

“…”

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

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

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

Adele looked up at her from the passenger seat.

The anger in her heart dissipated.

“…No need.”

She said arrogantly.

“You should finish your task first.”

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

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

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

“We’re still investigating.”

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

Celeste smiled wryly.

“Of course they have objections.”

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

Adele coughed unnaturally and looked out the window.

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

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

“Good girl, you did the right thing.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Adele wanted to cry…

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

Adele was startled and quickly turned around.

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

Was it… an illusion?

Adele swallowed nervously.

She carefully recalled the white shadow she had just seen.

It was irregularly shaped, blooming like a snowflake.

Or rather… it had six feathery wings.
