The rain stopped, and the drizzle that had been falling in Sharon’s heart also stopped.
She looked up at the sky, the warm sunlight bathing her body, a feeling that lingered.
Just like being embraced by Adele.
………………
Adele reluctantly withdrew her gaze only after Sharon had walked far away and her figure disappeared.
With that, she had finally untied a knot in Sharon’s heart, dispersing the gloomy rain clouds.
From now on, the girl would live more confidently in the world under the sun.
Besides flirting with girls, Adele’s psychological counseling skills were also top-notch.
Even without any profound theoretical support, Adele understood that simple communication was better than anything.
Everyone had so-called “information gaps.”
Sometimes, what was difficult for you to talk about was just a small matter to the person you loved.
Silence and avoidance would only make the other person worry about you more.
Open and honest communication could solve more than 80% of life’s troubles.
As for the remaining 20%… there was nothing that a good round of sex couldn’t solve!
If there was, then two rounds!
Adele was the type who combined communication, which could solve 80% of the problems, with “sex,” which could solve the remaining 20%.
Ultimately achieving a 100% success rate!
As expected of her!
With a sense of satisfaction, Adele returned to her room, preparing to relax by turning on her computer as usual.
As for preparing for the final exams… she would do it.
Although Adele seemed to be slacking off on the surface, she didn’t neglect her duties as a student at all.
And it was said that the credits for this final exam had been increased, which was a major event that determined the future for current students.
Because even vampires, who were a foreign race, after living in human society for a long time, were almost assimilated and began to have the same values.
At least in Cromwell Academy, many vampires believed that in their future careers, salary and benefits were important, but having a stable and good position was even more important.
Humans used the benefit of guaranteed job placement after graduation to win over many new generation vampires, making them willing to become civil servants for humans and work for the government.
This was a conspiracy built with resources, and even the anti-human hawks within the vampire race could only watch helplessly as humans implemented this plan.
All they could do was perhaps teach the younger generation themselves, hoping that they wouldn’t forget the glory of being a vampire.
But compared to guaranteed job placement, stable jobs, social status, and wealth…
Glory could go to hell.
And due to the spread of equality and freedom in modern society, more and more vampires were reluctant to return to vampire settlements.
Compared to returning to their hometowns, they were now more willing to stay in human cities.
Because in human cities, in the secular world, they could use their beautiful appearance, temperament, and powerful abilities to gain many social benefits, and everything they did would be twice as effective.
Even Sequence Five vampires could gain respect and even admiration.
Since that was the case, why would they go back to vampire settlements and be lowly vampires?
The Sequence order established by the Black Emperor faced its most serious challenge.
And Dorothy was the last hope of the most stubborn conservatives in the vampire race.
As long as she could grow up smoothly, stand up again, lead the entire vampire world, and achieve the same feats as her ancestor, the Black Emperor, then the vampire Sequence order would be unshakable.
Vampires would be more united and powerful than ever before, forcing humans to compromise.
But it was still too early to talk about these things.
And whether Dorothy would actually follow the wishes of the elders was still unknown.
Just judging from the fact that she had fallen in love with a Sequence Five vampire, the future of the vampire race was worrying.
………………
At night, as usual, Adele left a window open so that First Snow, who always wandered over to “suck” on her, would have a way to get in.
That’s right, usually, it was humans who were addicted to petting cats.
But for some kittens, it was unbearable not to be able to “suck” on a cute older sister for a day.
First Snow wasn’t such a promiscuous kitten, she was a pure kitten, and the only one she wanted to “suck” on was Adele.
As for why Adele still left the window open for First Snow when she could use short-distance teleportation magic, it was very simple. Using magic consumed magic power, and teleportation magic, as a very high-level magic, even short-distance teleportation, consumed a huge amount of magic power!
First Snow was Adele’s magic power battery, how could Adele bear to let her waste magic power, meow!
First Snow: Is there a possibility that Adele sees me as a kitty magic power storage tank and doesn’t want me to use the magic power I’ve accumulated over the years?
Adele: Ahem, impossible, absolutely impossible!
First Snow: ( ^•ω•^ )
Well, actually, First Snow herself was too lazy to use teleportation magic.
And there was also the question of whether opening the window would attract mosquitoes.
Adele said, where would there be mosquitoes in winter? Besides, which mosquito would dare to come to a vampire’s territory?
When it came to sucking blood, vampires were the big brother, okay?
And it seemed that there was even a blood magic called “Mosquito Control” among vampires.
Adele hadn’t learned it, but if she did, she could easily become an internet celebrity.
Retweet this “Adele,” and a mosquito will bite the person you hate! You can even choose where the bite will appear!
Not long after Adele opened the window, as expected, a small creature carrying something flew over from afar.
Like a little elf under the moonlight, with golden wings and a pure white, adorable body.
She flew straight into Adele’s bedroom and landed in Adele’s soft bed.
The cute kitten couldn’t stop herself and rolled twice on the bed before finally stopping with her face as a brake.
At the same time, a soft cat bed fell from her little teeth.
Adele heard the noise from her computer desk and looked over.
Then, she tilted her head.
“Why did you bring this?”
First Snow shook her slightly dizzy head, her soft ears bouncing.
Then, in front of Adele, she emitted a golden light and transformed into her cat girl form.
“Staying over, meow!”
The cat girl replied confidently, then hugged her little bed and smiled at Adele ingratiatingly, her lips curving into an arc that only a cat could achieve.
“Eh?”
Adele looked puzzled.
First Snow asked,
“Didn’t Adele see the email Xiao Wei sent you, meow?”
“Email, that kind of thing…”
Adele wanted to say “even a dog wouldn’t read it,” but it seemed that she was about to read it, so she quickly stopped herself.
“Wait, let me check.”
So Adele started operating, logging into her email account on the computer.
It was the one with the penguin icon.
And as expected, she saw an email notification pop up in the bottom right corner of the computer screen.
Adele clicked on it and saw a simple email from Principal Winona.
Winona wrote in the email, “I’m going to the magic world for the next two days to be a judge for an important competition. All the talented mages in the magic world will be participating, Adele, guess who wasn’t invited? Just kidding, First Snow doesn’t want to go back to the magic world with me, so I’m entrusting her to you for these two days.”
“Meow~”
First Snow also made her presence known appropriately while Adele was reading.
“An important competition?” Adele murmured.
The girl thought that it was probably similar to the kind that the legendary mage Victoria participated in when she was young.
Winona must have participated in many competitions when she was young, to win rewards or alchemy materials.
But times had changed, and now she was someone who could sit on the judging panel.
Thinking about it this way, Winona herself could be the protagonist of another book.
Although it wasn’t a “three stages of magic power” kind of beginning, the story of her going through various competitions and adventures in the academy and eventually becoming a legendary mage was worth telling.
It was worth mentioning that the magic world mentioned in Winona’s email, like the vampire settlements, was an independent region, not even marked on the maps of the secular world. Only those recognized by the magic world or other races could enter.
Adele yearned for that place, because there must be many novel things, magical creatures, and even other races there.
Even the legendary elves!
Adele was going crazy thinking about blonde, long-eared elves with big…
Actually, First Snow knew such an elf, but she didn’t know what Adele was thinking, so she wouldn’t mention it.
But for First Snow, elves were nothing special, they were too boring compared to Adele.
However, elves, like vampires, were a well-known long-lived race.
After reading Principal Winona’s email, even though she knew that she had no reason or room to refuse, Adele still said,
“Hmph, not even offering any reward, trying to get something for nothing, this woman.”
Hearing this, First Snow’s shoulders trembled, and her mouth quickly turned into a wavy line.
The little guy looked very sad.
She never thought that Adele would need a reward for taking care of her, boohoo, was she a burden?
Adele turned her head and noticed First Snow’s aggrieved expression as she hugged her knees, but she smiled gently.
“Wait, isn’t this my little reward~”
“Thinking about it this way, I’m actually making a profit.”
She reached out and stroked First Snow’s hair and soft cat ears.
Hearing Adele’s words, First Snow’s sadness instantly vanished, replaced by a blush.
“Bad sister, meow…”
She even learned how to flirt.
Adele’s smile deepened, and then she leaned towards First Snow’s lips.
The little guy clearly had experience with this before, but every time Adele got close to her, she would freeze like a shy newbie.
But this was also what made First Snow so lovable and endearing.
Adele kissed the little guy’s lips without hesitation.
Gently guiding, slowly deepening the kiss.
After a while, Adele, looking satisfied, retracted her soft red lips, while First Snow shyly covered her face and clenched her legs together.
“I got my reward~”
Adele teased her further, and First Snow was so embarrassed that she couldn’t speak, she simply transformed back into a kitten and burrowed into the bed she had brought.
A cat’s bed, like a human’s bed, was a
place to rest and sleep.
Only First Snow could easily bring her own “bed” when staying over at someone else’s house.
Adele came to First Snow’s side, gently stroked the fur on her back, and her sensitive wings that trembled at the slightest touch, and said softly,
“Then, First Snow, you’ll be staying in my dormitory until Principal Winona comes back.”
“Please take care of me, my little cutie.”
The secret to making life less mundane was to add a sense of ritual.
Adele was well-versed in this.
“Meow~”
First Snow replied, probably meaning “Okay.”
Then, Adele went to the windowsill and opened a can of new cat food she had recently bought for First Snow.
The canned food she bought wasn’t expensive, but as she had said before, Winona had already bought expensive cat food for First Snow, and she hadn’t seen First Snow eat it with much enthusiasm.
On the other hand, First Snow ate these slightly cheaper but not exactly cheap cat foods with gusto.
Just like junk food and street stalls always attracted children, while they were reluctant to eat healthy and elegant Western food.
Hearing the sound of the can opening, First Snow’s ears instantly perked up.
The next moment, a white shadow had already arrived beside Adele, rubbing against her legs and meowing.
“Eat up, I’ll order you some small yellow croaker later if I have a late-night snack.”
“Meow!”
First Snow happily agreed.
These were delicacies she couldn’t taste when she was with Winona.
Whether it was takeout barbecue, crayfish, small yellow croaker, or cheap canned food.
If Winona knew that Adele was using this “junk food” to win over her kitten’s heart, she would definitely be furious.
But pet owners shouldn’t casually feed other people’s kittens like Adele did.
First Snow, as a long-lived species, had a very strong constitution. Even when she curiously ate a colorful mushroom in the Elven Forest and was dazed for half a day, she was still fine.
Not to mention this junk food.
After feeding First Snow, Adele returned to her computer and continued playing games.
After eating, First Snow also came to sit on Adele’s lap and watched with interest.
Adele couldn’t help but comment,
“Is this considered physical ‘cat hanging’?”
“I wonder if it can also give me bonus adaptive power.”
“Meow?”
First Snow tilted her head in confusion.
Adele rubbed her nose against First Snow’s fluffy little head.
“Nothing, do you want to play games too, little First Snow?”
“Let’s ask your Xiao Wei for some funding and get you a computer, okay?”
“Meow… meow!” First Snow seemed to hesitate for a moment, then agreed without hesitation.
“Hehe, as everyone knows, it’s perfectly normal for a computer to have two 3060ti graphics cards~”
Adele was saying things First Snow didn’t understand again.
But even if First Snow knew that Adele was scheming in her heart, she couldn’t help but want to spoil her, cooperate with her, and fulfill her wishes.
The two of them, one human and one cat, spent their free time leisurely.
When it was time for bed, to Adele’s surprise, First Snow transformed into her human form and got into Adele’s bed early, only revealing her shy eyes, staring at Adele intently.
Maybe Adele was just joking, but the little cat girl First Snow seemed to have taken Adele’s words about “herself being the reward”…
Seriously.
“Please… be gentle, meow, Adele.”
