The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies-Chapter 272: She Doesn’t Even Look
Besides Adele, the others felt somewhat awkward knowing Kaiser was constantly observing their lives. Fortunately, they could alleviate this awkwardness by shifting their attention to Adele.
Sharon, as someone who was never shy, quickly started being lovey-dovey with Adele. After a moment of silence, Edith approached Adele and asked if she could join the “fishing” (slacking off). The fact that mussels in the river could, after hardship, form precious pearls, left a deep impression on Edith. Perhaps there were more interesting things hidden in the river.
Adele blinked her clever eyes.
“Sure, your barb should be very useful for fishing~”
“Barb?”
“It’s your skill! Ahem, anyway, show me your Black Feather again.”
“I thought it was very beautiful last time I saw it.”
“...I, I will.” Edith agreed, her cheeks flushed.
It was also worth mentioning that she only realized, after being reminded by Adele, that her Black Feather ability wasn’t limited to being thrown out to cause damage. She could perhaps find a good angle and bury Black Feathers in the ground. Then, at the perfect moment, with a thought, she could summon them all back. Achieving the effect of “Hundred Feathers Piercing the Heart”! That was the “barb”! Moreover, such a move could also bypass the opponent’s frontal defenses, directly striking them from their weak points behind. Perhaps it could even be used on Kaiser!
“Adele is so amazing...!” Edith exclaimed in genuine admiration, inspired by Adele’s words.
“Really?” Adele nonchalantly patted Edith’s bottom.
“Wuu!” Edith’s reaction was very cute and amusing.
This scene was only noticed by Kaiser, who was focused on Adele. So, she began to wonder, was “being a pervert” also a way of expressing affection?
Regarding this question, it could be yes, or it could be no. It depended on the person and the situation. For example, if someone’s lover was more serious, upright, and had traditional thinking, then one should try to be respectful and maintain a comfortable mode of interaction. Otherwise, it would be easy for the relationship to end abruptly.
Learning from Adele was fine in some aspects. But in other aspects... Learning from her would likely cause big problems!
It was unknown when Kaiser would realize this. She thought that by staying with Adele, she could gradually learn the emotions she had lacked all these years in a normal atmosphere. But the atmosphere between Adele and her harem... wasn’t exactly normal!
However, Adele always “killed but didn’t bury.” No matter how Kaiser learned, no matter whether she could eventually gain the emotions of a normal Bloodkin girl, it had nothing to do with her. There was no after-sales service!
“Kai, Kaiser... that.”
A sudden voice interrupted Kaiser’s thoughts, bringing a hint of displeasure to her brows. She looked in the direction of the voice. The one who dared to talk to her, this “non-existent person,” was none other than Wofoo.
If Celeste was the first to realize that she only needed to interact with Adele as usual, then Wofoo was the last. She couldn’t help but be mindful of Kaiser’s presence, constantly worried about the threat she might pose to Adele. If Wofoo were domesticated into a “dog,” she would probably be a “guard dog.”
Therefore, even now, she was still thinking about how to eliminate the threat of Kaiser. Of course, with her strength, she couldn’t do that at all. So, even though she knew she wasn’t eloquent and couldn’t move people with words like Adele, she still braced herself and approached Kaiser, trying to strike up a conversation.
But Kaiser clearly didn’t want to be disturbed when she was in the middle of something. So, she said to Wofoo in a slightly cold tone, “Why don’t you just listen to Adele? What do you take me for?”
“N-no...” Wofoo habitually showed weakness. Although this habit had improved a lot after entering the Secret Realm... In front of Kaiser, she found she still couldn’t be brave. Because the ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) time she had spent under Kaiser’s protection was very long. Kaiser herself didn’t care about Wofoo’s existence. But Wofoo was very grateful for her shelter and in awe of everything about her.
“The little wolf has grown teeth and can hunt on its own, so stop making those pitiful sounds.”
“You dealt with Wen Xi yourself, right?”
The incident Kaiser suddenly mentioned completely disrupted Wofoo’s prepared words. She froze in place. Wofoo was already tall, but Kaiser was taller than her. The girl with the blue wolf tail lowered her gaze slightly, landing on Wofoo’s pale face.
Kaiser said indifferently, “I’m not interested in your grudges. But don’t bother me on your own, otherwise...”
Kaiser showed Wofoo some mercy, not voicing the terrible threat.
“...I, I understand.” Wofoo clenched her fists and lowered her head. At this moment, Kaiser suddenly reached out, wanting to rub Wofoo’s hair as usual. She was one of her wolf cubs, after all. Kaiser might not know how to like someone, but she was quite loyal and had a simple sense of leadership.
However, what Kaiser didn’t expect was that Wofoo jumped back and instantly dodged her hand, staring at Kaiser’s right hand with a very wary look.
“...”
This really surprised Kaiser. But soon, she realized why Wofoo had changed like this.
“Because you like Adele, you’ve become averse to being touched by others... is that it?”
“...” Wofoo didn’t answer, only panting uneasily. A pair of handsome wolf ears stood erect, her blue pupils almost narrowed into slits, nervously staring at Kaiser. This was completely a posture ready for attack.
To be honest, this was the first time Kaiser had seen Wofoo like this, with such a posture. And, it was directed at her. At her, who Wofoo feared. Kaiser could naturally see the unwillingness deep in Wofoo’s humble eyes. But that was towards others. Towards Kaiser, the unwillingness in the depths of her eyes transformed into fear. Perhaps this was the rule of the wolf pack, every wolf member would hold awe for the alpha. Until the alpha aged, and their own strength reached its peak, they might have the thought of replacing her.
The same applied to Wofoo. Since Wofoo had joined Kaiser’s group, she naturally subconsciously regarded Kaiser as the alpha. Therefore, she might have a sense of competition with others, but towards the powerful Kaiser, there was only awe and fear. A kind of awe that never believed she could beat Kaiser. But now, Wofoo had overcome these fears. Just for Adele, she dared to show aggression and adopt an attacking stance towards Kaiser.
“How wonderful.” Facing Wofoo’s vigilance, Kaiser wasn’t angry, but only sighed inexplicably. Perhaps this was also because she was too powerful. So, Wofoo’s actions, in her eyes, were just a little wolf waving its paws at her. It didn’t hurt, and it wasn’t threatening at all, but rather a bit cute.
“Cute” was a word Kaiser learned from humans. After learning it, she finally had a word to perfectly describe the various expressions of those weaker than her when facing her. So, there was a saying that was very true. When you are weak enough, everything you do seems cute.
Wofoo naturally felt insulted, but she couldn’t do anything about it. She just took a deep look at Kaiser, then turned and left without looking back. Clearly, she knew she couldn’t persuade Kaiser. She could only let her stare at everyone’s life in the camp like a weirdo.
This feeling of being watched wasn’t pleasant. But Adele didn’t seem to be affected at all. This wasn’t because Adele had amazing composure. In fact... perhaps it was just because she was thick-skinned. Ahem.
Besides, it was thanks to that angel Seraph who always appeared without a trace. This guy usually hid in a space no one could find. With the countless eyes on her angelic body that made people’s sanity plummet, she observed the world and Adele’s every move. So, being watched... Adele was already used to it. She still ate and drank, petted cats, and didn’t hesitate to flirt with girls~
But speaking of Seraph, no matter how many eyes she had, she could only observe the real world, right? The Blood Secret Realm shouldn’t be within the scope of her observation and detection. Or, to be bolder, even the Bloodkin’s Twilight City wasn’t a place Seraph could observe. It wasn’t that she couldn’t detect it, but that it would attract the attention of True Ancestor level figures.
True Ancestors, Legendary Mages, and Angels should be different names for the current power ceiling in this world. At least Adele hadn’t heard of any other titles above them. And the True Ancestors had lived for so many years, thousands of years. If their strength could continue to improve without bottlenecks, they wouldn’t need to cooperate with humans; they could have ruled humans long ago. Thinking about it this way, humans were also quite amazing. Take Headmaster Winona for example. As one of the current Legendary Mages, she had achieved the accomplishments and power that True Ancestors might take hundreds or even thousands of years to achieve in just a few decades.
So, what was the price? Wasn’t it just the shorter lifespan of humans compared to other long-lived species?
As for angels, they were even more ancient beings. They didn’t even have a race. According to Seraph, they were tools created by the “Lord.” Speaking of this “Lord,” since He created angels, His power... should be far above angels, right? However, this “Lord” didn’t currently exist in the real world, otherwise, Seraph wouldn’t need to lie dormant and wait for His return. Therefore, He wasn’t included in the power system comparison for now.
..................
“Wofoo, what are you talking to the air about~” Adele said, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Wofoo was dejected. She couldn’t tell her master about being scared by Kaiser. Here, Wofoo didn’t realize that she had subconsciously addressed Adele as “Master.” She had really spent too much time with Celeste. Had she been completely led astray by this golden retriever...
Kaiser, hearing Adele’s words, raised an eyebrow with a smile. She didn’t seem offended, but rather amused. Because it seemed no one had ever treated her like this before. Regardless of whether their opinion of her was good or bad, no one had ever been like Adele.
She doesn’t even look.
