“…”

Adele looked dazed.

For a moment, she couldn’t fully comprehend what the angel meant.

She just stared blankly at the white-haired, blue-eyed girl who suddenly appeared in front of her, her eyes empty and confused.

For a fleeting moment, Adele thought it was First Snow in her bed.

But with a little discernment, she could easily tell the difference between the two.

Firstly, First Snow gave off a much younger and more lively vibe.

 

Although Cat-Birds had long lifespans, their personalities and bodies matured very slowly. It seemed that she had recently entered her adolescent stage.

Then she just had to run into a little scumbag like Adele, and the result was being “bullied” and “tricked” into bringing Adele a lot of things from home.

The reason for the quotation marks was because the actual situation wasn’t that serious, and Adele wasn’t that bad.

First Snow gave the staff to Adele on her own initiative because she thought it would make Adele happy, and it did.

But as for the Holy Healing Potion later, it was the only way Adele could think of to save Li Lige in that desperate situation.

She had no power or influence, and it was difficult to obtain such a precious potion through other channels besides First Snow.

So rather than saying that Adele was taking advantage of the pure and innocent little First Snow, it was more like she and First Snow, who was in adolescence, were mutually attracted to each other.

 

Back to the difference between First Snow and the angel.

Apart from her younger age and lively personality, First Snow also had cute cat ears and a tail, and the wings on her back were a low-key and luxurious light gold. Her eyes were like clear crystals.

While the angel gave off a sense of calmness. Her young and delicate face held an aura of tranquility and a steady character.

In Adele’s words, it was a bit like an ancient monster possessing the body of a young girl.

Her eyes were also far from clear and innocent, as if reflecting the entire blue, pure, and empty sky.

And as her gaze moved downwards, what Adele saw was the girl’s alluring body, making her throat feel dry.

At this moment, the angel thought to herself,

 

“As expected of the Lust Witch, even in this situation, she’s still…”

The angel was right about this.

Adele was extraordinary. In such a shocking and terrifying situation, the first thing she noticed was the angel’s figure.

And her first emotion wasn’t fear, but lust.

But she had her reasons, everyone appreciated beauty.

It was only after this appreciation subsided that the fear of the unknown in front of her instantly took over her heart, making Adele’s heart race.

But they were still staring at each other.

 

An awkward silence spread.

Until Adele broke the silence, asking in a trembling voice,

“Um, shouldn’t I scream… to show you some respect?”

The angel had seen all kinds of people and things in this world, but this was the first time she had met someone as speechless as Adele.

She didn’t shake her head or nod, just continued to look at Adele quietly.

But from her emotionless eyes, Adele seemed to see a hint of “speechlessness.”

“No need, and you don’t have to be afraid of me, we are both creations of the ‘Lord’.”

 

The angel’s voice had a strange ethereal quality, as if it came from within Adele’s heart.

“…Lord, who is that?”

“And, did you save me? From that ‘monster’.”

“What do you mean when you said I’ve become a ‘witch’?”

Fear often stemmed from the unknown, but if the unknown was beautiful and alluring, the so-called fear would be greatly reduced.

The angel’s beauty largely dispelled Adele’s fear.

Finally, Adele mustered the courage to ask her questions.

 

The angel couldn’t answer Adele’s first question, but she was willing to provide necessary communication for the next two.

The angel’s ethereal voice rang out again,

“That wasn’t a ‘monster,’ it was an angel, my original form.”

The angel originally wanted to show Adele her true form again, but she thought about it and decided it wouldn’t be good to scare Adele again.

So she continued with a complicated mood,

“As for you, you’re the one I’ve chosen to walk with me, to spread the ‘Lord’s’ glory and radiance. You’re called a ‘witch’.”

The light in Adele’s pupils flickered slightly, showing her shock and surprise at the truth.

 

She was a little scared at first, especially when the girl in front of her said that she was that six-winged monster.

But then she felt that the girl in front of her wasn’t someone she couldn’t communicate with, on the contrary, it seemed like she was trying to communicate with her.

This reduced Adele’s fear significantly.

“Are you… an angel?”

She asked.

“Don’t I look like one?”

“You do now, but before…” Adele made a complicated expression.

 

The angel instantly felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.

She didn’t actually have many emotions, she mostly just mechanically carried out the “Lord’s” tasks.

So there was a saying that “angels” were actually the earliest artificial intelligence.

But now, being with Adele, the angel felt her emotional factors soaring, and not in a good way.

“Well, it doesn’t matter…”

Adele wanted to say that it didn’t matter whether the girl in front of her was an angel or something else, she was more concerned about what the angel said about turning her into a witch.

“You said you turned me into a witch, and the witch of lust… can I take it as a joke?”

 

The angel’s expression remained unchanged, clearly giving her answer to Adele’s attempt to escape reality.

Adele was speechless. After a while, she accepted this reality at a speed much faster than ordinary people.

The angel gave Adele an approving look.

But she didn’t know that the reason Adele calmed down was that she was starting to accept this slightly messed-up plot.

Adele even began to suspect that this was the so-called “will of the world” often mentioned in transmigration novels, where, in order to keep the main plot from deviating, if the protagonist did something to change the original course of events, another person or event would appear to bring the protagonist back to the original storyline.

In Adele’s case, it was because she saved Li Lige that she deviated from the original storyline of becoming the successor of the Vengeance Witch.

At this time, fate intervened, making the angel appear, witchifying her, and putting her back on the original track.

 

But Adele was just suspicious, she wasn’t sure.

After all, if this was really the case, she couldn’t accept this feeling of being someone else’s puppet.

All her efforts seemed to be just for the arrival of that unchangeable ending.

If that was the case, Adele might as well just give up and let the world do whatever it wanted, she would run away to the countryside with Celeste and become farmers!

She couldn’t accept an ending that wasn’t created by her own hands, an ending that wasn’t better!

The surprising determination that vaguely appeared in Adele’s eyes made the angel’s eyes flash with surprise.

The angel didn’t understand what Adele was thinking.

 

But the girl with such a look in her eyes once again proved that she hadn’t misjudged Adele.

Her determination for “lust” was touching.

Adele: ??? Why did it become her determination for lust!

She was clearly fighting for a better tomorrow.

She was basically a guardian of the future.

But actually, this “better future” did include Adele and the people she liked being together…

To say that it was for “lust,” it seemed to make sense too.

 

………………

After accepting the reality of becoming a witch, Adele began her soul-searching questions to the angel in front of her.

“Why am I the witch of ‘lust’! There must be a problem, there must be!”

“Can’t you see the dissatisfaction and anger towards overtime work in my eyes?”

“Working overtime until ten o’clock at night, isn’t that enough for me to become a witch of ‘wrath’?”

According to the main storyline, she should inherit Li Lige’s will and become the Vengeance Witch.

But the reality was that she was turned into the “Lust Witch” by this damn angel!

 

Adele widened her beautiful pink eyes, even the angel couldn’t help but be attracted by her beauty.

The natural seductive ability of the Lust Witch was beginning to show.

But she was an angel after all, how could she be bewitched by her own guide?

So she just replied calmly,

“Compared to anger, I see more laziness in your eyes.”

“To be honest, during the time you were asleep, I struggled more than once between giving you the Origin Quality of ‘sloth’ or the Origin Quality of ‘lust’.”

“…”

 

“In the end, it’s clear that your body is more suitable for ‘lust’.”

“No way!” Adele refuted, her face flushed.

She couldn’t help but clench her legs together, her hands resting on the blanket, looking flustered.

Then, she pouted and murmured softly,

“I don’t feel any changes in my body…”

“Becoming a witch doesn’t feel like what I imagined.”

“Also, you only told me that you’re an angel, but I still don’t know anything about your origins or your name.”

 

“And aren’t angels generally considered the opposite of witches in human perception? What’s the relationship between the ‘Lord’ you keep mentioning and the church?”

“If angels represent human virtue, then witches represent human sin!”

“You, an angel representing virtue, actually turned me into the embodiment of sin.”

“I have reason to believe that you’re actually a liar, you’re not a true white angel, but a fallen angel, and the ‘Lord’ you believe in is actually Satan, right?”

Adele was very good at questioning and arguing, and she could often leave people speechless.

On the other hand, it was also because the angel in front of her seemed harmless that she dared to push her luck.

Otherwise, if anyone showed a little bit of toughness or unfriendliness, Adele would definitely be the first to shut up.

 

After quietly listening to Adele’s questions, the angel finally started to answer slowly.

Her delicate and flawless face remained expressionless, always indifferent and holy, her wings gently flapping with her even breaths.

She should have more wings, more eyes, but for the sake of Adele’s mental health, she didn’t show them.

“My name has changed many times throughout the ages. For the ‘Lord,’ I have no name, I am just one of His most loyal servants.”

“But for humans, as my image in their hearts changes, my name also changes accordingly.”

“Recently, I’ve been called ‘Seraph,’ you can consider it my name.”

“My ‘Lord’ truly exists, He is the undeniable creator of this world.”

 

“Author?” Adele suddenly blurted out this word.

Making the angel tilt her head in confusion.

But she didn’t pay much attention to it and continued,

“Angels don’t represent virtue, and witches don’t represent sin.”

“The human churches are full of hypocritical believers, and the ‘Lord’ they worship comes from their own imaginations.”

“They don’t really care about the ‘Lord’ or the so-called ‘God’.”

“They are more concerned with satisfying their need for a harmless idol. Faith is just a means for them to profit.”

“Wow, you understand so much.”

Adele blinked and exclaimed.

This scene of listening to an angel talk about the hypocrisy of the church was simply “absurd.”

But at the same time, it was very realistic.

Perhaps reality was inherently magical.

“I’ve witnessed the era when humans created indulgences, and I spread a purification in that era.”

The “purification” she mentioned was said lightly.

But Adele could smell the endless blood and gunpowder behind it…

Adele didn’t dare to say anything more, her instinct for self-preservation made her shrink her neck.

“As for the fallen angel you mentioned, she’s my sister, she does exist, and she betrayed the ‘Lord’.”

When Seraph said this, she rarely showed a hint of killing intent, so cold that even the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Adele was the first to feel this, her teeth chattering.

“I will find her, and I will kill her.”

“…”

Reason told Adele that it was best not to get involved in other people’s family affairs.

Although she wasn’t sure if this could be considered a family affair, it sounded like angels were tools created by that “Lord” to achieve a grand purpose.

As for what that purpose was, Adele didn’t care.

She only knew that the angel had bestowed upon her the power of a witch…

Then this power belonged to her! No one could take it away!

But she didn’t need to think of the angel as being so stingy, Seraph certainly wouldn’t take her power away.

But the angel gave her this power for a reason.

She believed that Adele was the right candidate, and the angel needed her to do something for her, for her Lord, someday in the future.

Every power came with a price, didn’t it?

Adele was still young then, and didn’t know that all the gifts fate gave had a price tag attached to them.

Slowly withdrawing her killing intent, the angel Seraph looked at Adele again.

“What’s your name, Lust Witch?”

“P-please… don’t call me that title so seriously!”

Adele was so embarrassed that her toes were about to curl into a four-bedroom apartment!

And the angel was really the serious type!

That made it even more embarrassing.

“My name is Adele, I’m a… half-vampire, half-human.”

Adele smiled bitterly.

She actually wanted to call herself “human,” but then she remembered that the student council wouldn’t accept her.

She also wanted to call herself a “vampire,” but the memories were telling her that only a very small number of vampires didn’t discriminate against her.

So, in the end, even Adele didn’t know her own identity.

Becoming a “witch,” who was labeled as crazy, seemed to be more suitable for her.

Seraph’s eyes narrowed, as if she saw a lot from Adele’s bitter smile.

“Okay, Adele.”

She called her by her name.

“Let me teach you the first lesson of being a witch.”

“Teach you how to get close to your Origin Quality.”

Adele immediately sat up straight when she heard this.

Her desire for power was always written all over her face.

At the same time, the girl thought to herself, this angel finally did something useful after all that rambling.

But Adele didn’t seem to realize that the angel wasn’t a talkative person.

It was purely because her “guided one” had too many questions that the angel Seraph had to put aside the important matters first and answer Adele’s questions.

“I’m ready! Seraph, what should I do!”

Seraph opened her arms expressionlessly, revealing her pure and perfect body under the cold moonlight.

“What you should do is follow your desires.”

“That is the source of a witch’s power. Recognize it, release it, and… practice it.”

Seraph paused, looking at Adele, who was blushing because of her action of revealing her body.

“Come on, use this body I’ve created.”

“Unleash your desires.”

“Unleash your lust.”
