Chapter 109
One of the most admirable things about Adele was her audacity to “act even if it meant death”!
Even though she knew the consequences, that she might be subjected to who knows what by the enraged Li Lige, and that she was still a weakling who couldn’t resist at all, she still did it, without hesitation.
In the bedroom on the second floor, facing the menacing Li Lige, Adele quietly swallowed.
Then she smiled slightly, putting on a casual expression like “the weather is nice today,” and greeted her,
“G-good evening, Miss Li Lige.”
At this time, she was actually trying to play dumb and get away with it!
Did she really think Li Lige was a fool!
“Who’s saying good evening to you...!”
Li Lige’s face was flushed and patchy. Although she had washed off most of the paint, there were still some traces left.
Of course, it was mostly redness caused by her own vigorous rubbing.
As for her inner thighs, they were also feeling a cool breeze at this moment.
Fortunately, she was indoors, and there wasn’t much air circulation.
Otherwise, Li Lige would have felt what it meant to “have wind blowing from an empty cave” under her skirt!
Seeing that playing dumb and acting cute didn’t work, Adele immediately adjusted her strategy.
This time, she switched to a sincere apology.
Clutching her skirt, she lowered her head pitifully, her gaze fixed on her toes, which were pointed inwards, and of course, her white silk stockings.
“I’m sorry, it was just... a little prank.”
“It’s okay, then I’ll play a little prank on you too, how about that~”
Li Lige showed a creepy smile.
Now Adele realized that she couldn’t escape punishment.
She immediately dropped the act and picked up First Snow, the little glutton who was munching on her cat food.
She used First Snow as a shield, closed her eyes tightly, and shamefully shouted,
“First Snow, save me!”
Adele, who was both human and vampire, had actually been reduced to relying on someone else’s pet cat to save her.
This was a disgrace to the students of Cromwell Academy.
But Adele had her reasons.
There were differences between cats.
First Snow was a very precious Cat-Bird, not to mention.
And who was this “someone else”? It was the Stargazer, the principal, one of the legendary mages!
Li Lige, even if you didn’t give face to the cat, you should at least give face to the principal and let her go!
Besides, it was just paint and writing.
It wasn’t like she had actually done anything to Li Lige that those tally marks implied.
First Snow didn’t realize that she was being used as a “shield” by Adele at all.
Instead, the cute little kitty protectively waved her little paws at Li Lige.
“Meow!”
It was as if she was saying, “If you want to hurt Adele, you have to step over my claws first.”
And you know what, seeing this, Li Lige was actually helpless and gradually calmed down.
After a while, she let out a sigh and said, defeated,
“I’ll let you off this time...”
Hearing this, Adele’s eyes lit up with joy.
It felt good to have a backer!
But the backer Adele was thinking of was the principal, not this gluttonous little Cat-Bird in front of her.
In her mind, if her own power level was 0.5, then First Snow was at most 1.
Wait... why was she subconsciously thinking that she wasn’t even as good as a cat!
Adele: Ehehe~
“Not ashamed, but proud” was the perfect description for someone like Adele.
At the same time, Adele would never have thought that Li Lige really did let her go because of her backer.
But her backer was clearly this soft and cute little Cat-Bird, First Snow, who was being held in her arms!
First Snow’s strength might be far greater than people imagined. In the beginning, it might not have been the principal who protected her.
It could be said that it was First Snow who protected the principal.
Li Lige finally gave Adele and First Snow in her arms a complicated look, then left Adele’s dorm.
“Aren’t you going to stay for dinner?”
Adele actually showed some hospitality at this time.
“Hehe, no thanks, who knows what might be in the food?”
Clearly, Li Lige had also realized that something was wrong with the black tea in the conference room.
Adele pouted.
“Hmph, fine, don’t eat then.”
“First Snow and I will eat!”
“First Snow, what do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you! How about tuna sushi?”
As she spoke, Adele took out her phone and was about to order a sumptuous takeout meal.
First Snow glanced at the bowl of cat food that she had already eaten most of, then looked at Adele.
She felt speechless.
She let out a pitiful “meow.”
The clever kitten had already realized that maybe even her master’s “treat” wasn’t that sincere.
She was a completely different type of person from Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei would do everything to the best of her ability, she was also very hardworking, she would rather go hungry herself than let First Snow be poorly fed.
As for Adele...
Because that way, she could be closer to Adele, closer...
An unknown amount of time passed, and the night was silent.
“Flutter, flutter...”
The sound of small wings flapping unsteadily, struggling to maintain balance and avoid falling from the sky, could be heard.
Outside the window of Adele’s dorm, under the moonlight, a magical creature with both feline features and hawk-like golden wings was carrying something heavy, flying from who knows where.
It seemed like the cat had reached its limit.
Finally, she gritted her teeth.
I’m going to die from exhaustion, meow!
Then a golden flash was seen, and in an instant, even the magical creature disappeared.
The next time she was seen, she was already in Adele’s room.
At the same time, a long, cylindrical object fell from the Cat-Bird’s mouth and hit the floor, the sound instantly waking Adele from her sweet dream.
“Clang!”
“Wah, what happened, what happened!”
Adele’s heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Then she turned her head and saw an innocent and cute cat face staring at her with confusion.
“First—Snow!”
Adele shouted the cat’s name angrily.
Don’t think you can disturb people’s sleep just because you’re cute!
“Meow!?”
First Snow was startled and immediately flapped her wings and flew back to avoid Adele’s reaching hands.
She was fast and agile, like an elf in the air.
“Meow meow meow!”
The little Cat-Bird anxiously tried to explain something.
But Adele couldn’t understand a single word, and she responded with some dissatisfaction,
“I told you I don’t understand cat language!”
“Why don’t you bring me a bottle of high-level potion from the principal’s collection that can make me understand the voices of all things, like in One piece, so I can experience what it’s like to be the Pirate King!”
“Meow?”
First Snow tilted her cat head in confusion.
What was “One Piece” meow...
But a potion that could make her understand the voices of all things... she could try to find it in Xiao Wei’s storeroom and bring it to Adele next time!
She also realized that she couldn’t communicate effectively with Adele in her current Cat-Bird form.
The sounds they could make were different in different forms.
A Cat-Bird could meow and chirp, but it couldn’t make human sounds, it couldn’t communicate in human language.
So the next moment, with a flash of golden light, First Snow transformed into a cat-girl and landed lightly on the ground.
She was a white-haired little girl whose beauty would captivate anyone at first glance. Even though Adele and First Snow were already familiar with each other, at this moment, in the quiet and beautiful night, Adele was still captivated by her beauty and held her breath.
Fortunately, the time she was blinded by beauty was short, and Adele quickly recovered.
Just as she was about to grumble at First Snow, with the ultimate goal of making the little cat-girl her pillow for tonight, the little cat-girl suddenly bent down and carefully picked up something that had fallen on the floor earlier.
It was the source of the “clanging” sound.
Adele’s eyes widened slightly as First Snow, with a ( • ̀ω•́ )✧ expression, handed the thing to Adele.
Adele finally recognized what First Snow was holding.
It was a... magic staff!? Made of some unknown magic material.
Even in the darkness of the night, the staff still emitted a faint starlight, as if mysterious elves were dancing around it.
This was enough to show its extraordinary nature.
It was at least... a third-grade magic staff!
In the magic world, magic staffs were divided into five grades. The first grade was called “ordinary,” only containing a small amount of magic elements.
The second grade was “advanced,” made by professional mages, and could be mass-produced.
The third grade was “rare,” requiring precious magic alchemy materials and forged by powerful mages.
The fourth grade was “legacy,” based on the third grade, but with the skills and understanding of a previous top mage imbued into it.
It was a staff that had been used by a top mage, and the magic patterns engraved and integrated into it from years of companionship and exploration of magic mysteries made it extraordinary.
It was a staff with 100% proficiency, with many enchantments, ready to be used. Only the direct descendants of magic families had the chance to obtain such a “legacy.”
The fifth grade was the “mythical” realm.
The level was too high, and Adele couldn’t really say anything about it.
After all, most vampires didn’t use staffs.
They directly cast high-level magic with their hands!
No wonder some noble blood nobles had said bluntly: “Sideways paths” like magic staffs were mostly used by humans.
But Adele didn’t care about these “let them eat cake” remarks from the upper class.
The moment she saw the staff, she almost drooled.
“Slurp... ahem, Snow, Snow~ my Snowbao~”
“Meow!”
First Snow almost choked on the sweetness in Adele’s voice and instantly shrank her shoulders.
Perhaps Adele also realized that she was being too flattering and quickly restrained herself.
But she was still reluctant to miss the staff, so she tried to beat around the bush.
“First Snow, th-that staff is...”
“It’s for Adele, meow!”
First Snow answered without hesitation.
The pure expression on the cute face of the white-haired little girl was incredibly seductive.
“!!!”
Adele declared that from this moment on, First Snow was the best cat in the world!
