The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies

Chapter 217

The gathering began with Adele’s words, “Let’s not talk about it… let’s order first!”

Based on their food preferences, Sharon, First Snow, Hermione, and Tang Linlang belonged to the sweet tooth faction, while Dorothy, Celeste, and Edith belonged to the spicy faction.

Adele also loved spicy food, but she had no resistance to sweets either.

But she had never dined at this restaurant before, so in the end, the ordering was done by Hermione, Dorothy, and Edith.

Sharon was also a Sequence One, but with her previous reclusive and gloomy personality, she could be asked about delicious takeout, but ordering at a restaurant was probably not her forte.

Since it was a restaurant exclusively for vampires, it was normal for many dishes to be made with magical creatures or plants.

Adele usually had the mentality of “I don’t care if it’s fat or thin, it’s all meat in my mouth” and would devour any dishes she didn’t recognize.

But if she was told about the ingredients of these dishes, she might not be able to eat them, she might even feel nauseous.

Originally, Adele was worried that the dinner party would be awkward, but judging from the current situation, they could still communicate well.

Adele sat at the best seat at the round table, with Hermione on her left and Dorothy on her right, the others evenly distributed around the table.

But in reality, who didn’t want to sit closest to Adele?

Unfortunately, vampires always respected the strong and valued bloodlines, so even if they were jealous and unwilling, they couldn’t change the fact that Dorothy and Hermione had already taken the best seats.

Soon, the cold dishes were served first. This was no different from human banquets.

Perhaps this was one of the ways vampires were becoming more similar to humans. After all, as cooperation between vampires and humans deepened, as long as there weren’t any more incidents like the assassination of Edith’s grandmother, the coexistence of vampires and humans would become an even more unshakable policy.

Thinking of this, Adele suddenly remembered the identities of Edith and Tang Linlang at the table.

Edith, as the descendant of the assassinated True Ancestor, Lady Chen Xi.

And Tang Linlang, happened to be a descendant of the Tang family, one of the vampire families that had joined forces to assassinate Lady Chen Xi.

One whose grandmother was assassinated, leading to her mother’s madness, her own abuse, and the downfall of her family.

The other whose family was almost wiped out, leaving only a father and daughter to rely on each other.

The two of them being together couldn’t be simply described as “enemies on a narrow road,” it could even be said that they had a deep hatred for each other.

Adele’s heart sank. She had made a mistake!

She was too naive, immersed in the fantasy of a harmonious harem.

She completely forgot to consider the differences in their backgrounds.

Perhaps Edith and Tang Linlang both knew each other’s identities, but they deliberately suppressed it for Adele’s sake.

Just thinking about this made Adele’s heart feel like it was being fried in a hot oil pan.

But for now, the atmosphere between the two was still harmonious.

• Meaning they completely ignored each other, as if the other didn’t exist.

This was the best solution for the current situation, and the way to avoid putting Adele in a difficult position between them.

But Adele also understood that this was just them burying their sadness deep in their hearts.

This method wouldn’t bring true reconciliation, it would only postpone the day when the conflict erupted.

Thinking of this, Adele’s mood became a little down.

She really wanted to resolve the conflict between them, but she couldn’t think of a good way for the time being.

More importantly, the other girls who were attending the gathering were equally important.

Therefore, Adele could only choose to bury the conflict deep in her heart, like them, while entertaining everyone as usual and waiting for a possible turning point.

But what Adele didn’t expect was that the turning point came so quickly.

It was such a pleasant surprise that it made her dizzy.

Because just as the gathering was about to end, a major news that shocked the entire vampire race suddenly appeared, and it was spreading like wildfire throughout the world of both vampires and humans.

That was – Edith’s grandmother, Lady Chen Xi, had awakened from her slumber!

Her consciousness had ended its wandering and returned, her body fully recovered under the nourishment of the crystal coffin!

Lady Chen Xi’s recovery was of great significance.

On a larger scale, for both humans and vampires, this was the best opportunity for them to let go of past grudges, eliminate the negative impact of that incident, and deepen their cooperation.

On a smaller scale, Lady Chen Xi’s existence influenced Edith’s status in the vampire race.

After all, only with a strong backing could one gain respect from others.

Otherwise, even with a noble bloodline, before fully maturing, one would only be seen as a “little brat” in the eyes of others.

In the past, because of Lady Chen Xi’s slumber, Edith was already considered a Sequence One without the support of a True Ancestor.

This made it difficult for her to gain recognition for anything she said or did.

Unlike Dorothy, who could command the obedience of everyone with her status as the most noble Vampire Princess.

But even in such a situation, Edith still relied on her own efforts to build the “Black Feather Society” from scratch.

Initially, the vampires who joined the Black Feather Society were all marginalized figures in the academy, they probably didn’t even believe that the Black Feather Society would have a future, it was just that their own situations were already bad enough, so joining an organization to gain some power wasn’t a bad idea.

No one expected that the Black Feather Society would grow to the point where even the student council had to take it seriously and feel pressured.

But even so, Edith’s own foundation wasn’t strong enough, her background wasn’t strong enough, so the Black Feather Society she created could become someone else’s dowry at any time.

Dorothy herself knew this, so she was even arrogant enough to ask Adele…

Asking if she wanted to become the president of the Black Feather Society.

The implication was that as long as she wanted, the Black Feather Society could become hers at any time.

This was indeed true, vampires were a race that respected the strong, and the members of the Black Feather Society would vote with their feet.

It was just that Dorothy was used to being a lone wolf, she didn’t like to form factions, so if she was asked to be the president of the Black Feather Society herself, she would probably find it troublesome.

But if Adele became the president of the Black Feather Society, giving her a position second only to Dorothy, making her a capable assistant to manage other vampires…

It could only be said that fantasy was beautiful, but reality was imperfect.

Adele wasn’t interested in power at all.

She didn’t want to steal Edith’s things, nor did she want to shoulder those heavy responsibilities.

The girl thought it was good enough to live her life freely and easily, being with the girls she liked.

But now, even Dorothy couldn’t be sure if she had the power to change the president of the Black Feather Society overnight.

Because Lady Chen Xi had awakened, as a vampire True Ancestor who had lived from ancient times to the present, her strength was unquestionable.

More importantly, she had a very noble personality.

Lady Chen Xi was undoubtedly one of the most prestigious figures in the current vampire race.

She was also the invisible leader of the vampire doves.

The current vampire doves were already powerful, because their cooperation with humans meant that they had the upper hand over the hawks.

Otherwise, after the assassination incident, the hawks wouldn’t have given up, and vampires and humans would have fallen into a quagmire of war.

Humans had also used their powerful influence to support many doves within the vampire race to rise to power.

Now that Lady Chen Xi had awakened, they had a backbone and an opinion leader again, and their future would only be brighter.

But this was also a good thing, it meant that vampires and humans would cooperate to create a more peaceful world.

The only ones who would be unhappy were probably the vampire hawks. They believed that this was the beginning of the noble vampire race’s downfall, that lowly humans were actually worthy of being on equal footing with them.

But these distant matters weren’t something the current Adele and the girls around her should be concerned about.

The biggest impact Lady Chen Xi’s awakening had on them was that Edith had a backer again.

No one could take away her Black Feather Society anymore.

And the “grudge” between her and Tang Linlang also had a chance to be resolved.

After all, with Lady Chen Xi’s noble personality, she definitely wouldn’t let her descendant, Edith, continue to hate Tang Linlang, who was a descendant of a vampire hunter family.

Moreover, that grudge belonged to the previous generation, it had nothing to do with their generation.

Except for cases where the sins were too great to be forgiven, descendants could understand and forgive each other.

But one thing was for sure, no one had the right to forgive on behalf of their ancestors.

This major event that shook the entire vampire race was first reported to Edith by the elegant vampire owner of the “Blood Charm” restaurant branch, who came to the private room where Adele and the others were having their gathering.

Edith’s expression froze.

Dorothy, Hermione, Sharon, Celeste, and the others all had different expressions. Tang Linlang’s eyes widened, and she felt as if the heavy stone in her heart had suddenly fallen, experiencing an unprecedented sense of relief.

Only First Snow was still struggling with the head of a magic fish, the little kitten didn’t understand what this important news meant at all.

As for Adele, after a brief moment of shock, joy instantly appeared on her face.

She walked past Hermione, went to Edith, who was still dazed and at a loss, and hugged her.

“Things are looking up, Edith!”

Hearing Adele’s words, Edith finally woke up from her daze and murmured excitedly,

“Grandmother… Grandmother has awakened!”

“Can I go visit Grandmother, Mo… Adele?”

Actually, no matter what Edith called Adele now, her authority in Edith’s heart wouldn’t change.

After all, Adele was very good at training girls. Just thinking about those past memories, Edith couldn’t muster even a shred of resistance.

It was worth mentioning that Hermione, who was closest to them, frowned slightly because she heard the syllable Edith uttered before calling Adele.

“Mo,” what did it mean?

It seemed that the relationship between Adele and Edith wasn’t as simple as one of them being tsundere.

There was an unknown story between them.

“Of course you can, go ahead, give my regards to your grandmother~”

As Adele spoke, she secretly pinched Edith’s butt under the table.

It was so soft that her fingers sank in.

Edith’s face instantly turned red, she gasped, her beautiful purple eyes sparkling.

“Y-yes, I will give your regards to Grandmother.”

Edith’s reply was also unexpected.

Because in the eyes of everyone else…

How could Adele call Lady Chen Xi “Grandmother”!

And the key was that Edith actually agreed with Adele’s statement.

Something was wrong, something was really wrong between these two!

Could it be that their relationship had reached the point where they could directly address each other’s relatives!?

Dorothy instantly felt a strong sense of crisis.

She started to consider whether she should take Adele back to the depths of the vampire territory during the winter break and introduce her to a few elders she respected very much.

That was, the three True Ancestors who had always supported the Black Emperor’s family, firmly believing that the Black Emperor would return one day, and had been protecting his descendants throughout the ages.

Currently, there were twelve True Ancestors in the vampire race. Including Lady Chen Xi, who had just awakened, there were seven True Ancestors still active.

And among them, three were loyal to the Black Emperor, and they were Dorothy’s strongest backing.

As for the whereabouts of the other five True Ancestors besides these seven, three were unknown, or rather, two, because the Black Emperor was also among them.

The mainstream view actually believed that the Black Emperor was already dead. Except for the three True Ancestors who were loyal to him, almost all the prominent figures from the same era believed that he was dead.

But no one knew for sure.

As for the whereabouts of the other two True Ancestors, it was very clear. One was in an almost eternal slumber, and no one knew when she would awaken.

The other one was confirmed to be dead, dead beyond death.

But his death was truly a disaster.

Because he had used his own life as a sacrifice to summon an evil god from another world, and in the end, many races joined forces and made huge sacrifices to finally kill the evil god.

This was also why familiar-type vampires were so feared.

Who knew if any of them would go crazy and summon their familiars from another world to this world at all costs?

That’s why Dorothy had become a key target for human surveillance.

Not only because of her status as a descendant of the Black Emperor…

But also because she was a familiar-type vampire, and judging from the little information humans had about her familiar, it was terrifying.

Edith bid farewell to Adele and politely said goodbye to everyone else at the gathering before quickly getting into the car arranged by the female owner of the “Blood Charm” restaurant and rushing towards the depths of the vampire territory.

And Adele was also in a good mood, after all, she had gained a True Ancestor grandmother for free.

Hmph, now she was also someone with a background and power.

Only people like this could survive in this world! Otherwise, they would just be little brats!

In fact, Adele’s background and power were far more than just Lady Chen Xi behind Edith.

It could be said that all the girls who attended today’s banquet would be labeled with a tag that they also deeply recognized from now on.

That was – Team Adele!

And this faction was incredibly powerful, with several high-ranking Sequence Ones, the last heir of the vampire hunter family and the inheritor of the Gu Realm, and a loyal golden retriever puppy.

Celeste: Woof woof woof?

Ahem, actually, Celeste was also very strong. With her hard work and talent, she could be said to be at the top among the current Sequence Two vampire students.

It could only be said that she was born in the vampire race, which valued bloodline and background and had an insurmountable class divide, she couldn’t compare to the other overpowered girls.

But it didn’t matter, she had something truly precious, something that others couldn’t compare to.

That was Adele’s “love.”
