Chapter 446: I Am Your Ancestor
With Dorothy’s words, Adele’s heart seemed to skip a beat with a “thump-thump!” sound. What was with this classic horror movie vibe!
And the key problem was, Adele knew that Dorothy wouldn’t lie to her! So that meant… that unknown being was right behind her at this moment, watching her with an unknown expression!
The most escapist method was undoubtedly to pretend that the other party had gone the wrong way. But—you can fool your friends, and they might just laugh it off, but don’t fool yourself, Adele!!
So after a moment of silent tension, Adele, like a robot with gears, turned her head stiffly, bit by bit, to look at the silver-haired woman who had appeared behind her at some point. The woman smiled and raised her hand to wave at her.
And Adele also stiffly responded with polite words. “H-Hello.”
“How’s the weather today?”
It was an awkward conversation with a blank mind.
“As for the weather, do you like rainbows?” the silver-haired woman said casually. As soon as she finished speaking, a rainbow bridge spanning the sky from north to south suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
Wait a minute! Using weather magic in front of Muggles is illegal! But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the silver-haired woman in front of her might be a member of the “ability terrorist organization,” or even the biggest villain BOSS, so it was fine.
And the scary thing was not that she openly used such magic, but that the level of this magic in elemental magic was very high, but the other party could use it casually… It was unknown whether this was showing off or some kind of deterrence.
Just when Adele was not feeling well, she heard Dorothy suddenly ask in a puzzled tone, “Do you know me?”
The girl hugged the tight chest of her school uniform and looked up at the unfamiliar silver-haired woman who was separated from her by an Adele and a distance. There was no fear or confusion, only the calm and self-assuredness of a queen who despised everything.
This was also the point where Dorothy was different from Adele and different from many girls. Adele could be flexible, and most others also understood the principle of retreating when necessary. But Dorothy, as the future king of the Vampire Clan, except for the people she liked (Adele), was willing to surrender.
For others, even if they were in a higher position and had greater power, such as True Ancestors, Headmistress Winona, etc., she only regarded them indifferently. It was not arrogant, contemptuous, this was the aura of a queen.
For some reason, a trace of obvious appreciation flashed in the silver-haired woman’s eyes. She passed by Adele and walked towards Dorothy.
Until this moment, Adele suddenly realized that the other party’s target might not have been herself from the beginning… but Dorothy, who had a secret appointment with her! It was just that Adele and the silver-haired woman had met once, so she would think more about it.
The girl’s pupils suddenly shrank to a point. Then, what everyone didn’t expect was that Adele, under the huge pressure given by the silver-haired woman, under the restraint of her own flexible creed… still acted, and once again came in front of the moving silver-haired woman.
And also in front of Dorothy, always protecting the girl behind her with her body.
“Adele…”
“Stupid, why are you acting like such a queen?…”
“If something happens to you, I will definitely not let you off lightly!”
“…”
It was clearly a caring statement, but it was still said so… “uniquely.” But after Dorothy heard it, she still felt a warmth in her heart.
And she couldn’t help but hug Adele’s body from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder. It looked almost like she was going to kiss her.
“!?”
Adele’s whole body instantly fluffed up, not knowing if it was because of shyness and sensitivity, or some other reason. Maybe both. At this moment, the girl’s heart was undoubtedly desperate.
Dorothy! What are you doing with the enemy in front of you! And cuddling in front of the silver-haired woman, is it really not fast enough to anger her! Obviously, you can do more in private…
But then a sentence from Dorothy made Adele’s chaotic heart stop.
“Don’t worry, Adele, I have a hunch…”
“She won’t hurt us.”
“Um?” The silver-haired woman made a playful nasal sound.
Ying Zhou looked at the elegant pink-haired girl in front of her with complicated eyes, her unknown number of generations of descendants. In her eyes, there was the appearance of her past.
At that time, she seemed to be like Dorothy in front of her, with absolute self-confidence. And this almost arrogant self-confidence was also proved by Ying Zhou’s constantly advancing and strengthening power in the future time, she deserved to have it.
And as for Dorothy… she was still in the process of climbing the mountain, and she was far from it. But Ying Zhou certainly recognized Dorothy’s self-confidence, because this was one of the necessary conditions to become the queen of the Vampire Clan.
Dorothy raised her eyes and looked at Ying Zhou’s eyes that were no different from her own, with wine-red eyes.
“You feel very familiar to me…”
“But I’m sure I’ve never had any contact with you in the past.”
“But…”
“But your blood doesn’t think so. They’re starting to get excited, aren’t they?” Ying Zhou smiled and said, seeing through Dorothy’s abnormality at a glance.
“Yes, so why is that?” Dorothy admitted. At the same time, a bold guess… emerged in her heart.
“Or rather, who are you?”
But the so-called boldness of the girl could only guess that the silver-haired woman in front of her might be like her, a descendant of the Black Emperor, possessing the supreme and noble bloodline of the Black Emperor. So her blood would be excited and resonate.
But the truth was that she absolutely couldn’t guess, and she didn’t dare to think about it…
Ying Zhou didn’t intend to beat around the bush, especially to Dorothy, her trusted descendant. But this Miss Adele who deceived herself into not knowing Lislotte and turned around and called the Legendary Mage…
Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Ying Zhou didn’t expect to hide her identity. So she acquiesced to Adele’s existence and gave Dorothy the answer to her question.
The silver-haired woman raised her hand, gently took off the mask on her face, and then smiled.
“The following sentence may have an unpleasant ambiguity.”
“But… I am your ancestor, my dear, unknown number of generations of granddaughter, Dorothy~”
Chapter 447: Your Help
Under normal circumstances, suddenly saying that you are someone’s ancestor… isn’t that cursing? Adele’s mouth was slightly open, looking at the scene in front of her in a daze. The conversation between the silver-haired woman and Dorothy continued.
But Dorothy didn’t seem particularly surprised by the silver-haired woman’s answer. She had the temperament of a leader who could face everything calmly.
“Then may I ask, which generation of ancestor are you?”
Tracing back from Dorothy’s generation to the great Black Emperor, there were more than a dozen generations of bloodline inheritance. And among them, there were not no mysterious disappearances. Dorothy’s guess was based on this. Of course, she couldn’t associate the silver-haired woman in front of her with the oldest and greatest Black Emperor himself.
You know, the Black Emperor was a real man. At that time, the Vampire Clan had not yet developed the ability to create “blood cocoons” to achieve female-female reproduction. The Black Emperor made a marriage contract with Dorothy’s ancestor, which led to the birth of generations of the Black Emperor family, and the existence of Dorothy.
Hearing Dorothy’s question, the silver-haired woman responded with a tone of teaching, “An ancestor is an ancestor, how can there be generations?”
Dorothy frowned when she heard the woman’s implication. Even Adele felt something was wrong.
“Wait a minute… According to your meaning, you are the legendary… Black Emperor himself?!”
“But how is that possible? The Black Emperor has always been a wise and powerful man in the history of the Vampire Clan!”
“At that time, I was still very young, full of vigor~” The silver-haired woman slowly took off her mask, revealing a stunningly beautiful smiling face.
In terms of facial contours and eyebrows, she did have a very similar part to Dorothy. But even so, Dorothy still couldn’t believe the woman’s words. And her tone began to intensify, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.
“Please don’t make this kind of joke, which is taboo in the Vampire Clan, senior!”
“I am a descendant of the Black Emperor, and I know more about related things than you think!”
She had seen the bones of her ancestor, the Black Emperor. It was part of the remains of the Black Emperor that True Ancestor Ron had taken out during the amusement park incident. If her ancestor, the Black Emperor, hadn’t fallen, with his strength and majesty, would he really allow someone to use his hand bone as material to achieve a short-term advancement?
Ying Zhou couldn’t help but laugh and cry after hearing this. She didn’t know whether to be happy or helpless. But at least, her descendants still valued her name very much and would not allow anyone to desecrate and defile it.
“You mean, you’ve seen the bones of the Black Emperor… right?”
Dorothy’s pupils shrank suddenly, obviously caught off guard. And the silver-haired woman pinched her chin and walked around Dorothy and Adele.
“In a sense, I did die at that time.”
“If I hadn’t abandoned my past body, I wouldn’t have been able to reshape my current new self.”
As for why Ying Zhou chose the image of a woman to reshape, of course it wasn’t because “she” was tired of being a man. But because this was an image closer to the “Tao,” or rather, the image of the “Creation God.”
Ying Zhou believed that if she were to make another attempt at the advancement from demigod to god, this image would indeed have a better chance than that image. This was not some kind of superstition.
But since the image of the creator of this world was female, then the world’s affinity for women was naturally higher. And Ying Zhou had studied the battle of the mythical era a lot.
One anecdote about the Creation God indicated that the Creation God was likely to like women…
So, the world’s affinity for women was even higher!
“Next, I will tell you everything that happened back then, so that maybe you will trust me.”
“Is she your woman?” Ying Zhou pointed to Adele and asked. This made Dorothy blush. After a long while, she replied.
“…It should be said that I am her woman more accurately.”
Ying Zhou: ?
Family misfortune! How could her descendants be bottoms!? The Black Emperor was speechless, family members.
“…Sigh.”
“Forget it, I was absent from your growth process, and I am an unqualified ancestor.”
“So it’s understandable that you’ve grown crooked like this.”
Dorothy’s mouth twitched. Adele was also dissatisfied. What do you mean by growing crooked! This miss, haven’t you ever heard of such a word as ‘curved like a mosquito coil’?
But Ying Zhou finally accepted it and acknowledged Adele’s strength.
“Since she is the partner you chose, the person you trust.”
“Then there is no need to avoid suspicion.”
Then, the silver-haired woman repeated the rhetoric she had told Lislotte in front of Dorothy and Adele. But like Elf True Ancestor Lislotte, Dorothy and Adele suspected that the silver-haired woman must have deliberately concealed some important information and did not tell them.
In addition, there was the identity of the silver-haired woman as the “Black Emperor.” After Dorothy and Adele looked at each other, they sensed the shaken mood in each other’s eyes.
In other words, they were somewhat convinced of the silver-haired woman’s Black Emperor identity. And this was finally confirmed when she revealed her name as “Ying Zhou.” This name was the original name of the Black Emperor. It was logically impossible for anyone to know and impersonate it.
But for Dorothy to call the silver-haired woman her ancestor… she always felt that it was difficult to say it out loud. And she didn’t even know whether she should call her “grandfather” or “grandmother,” and whether it was “His Majesty the Black Emperor” or “Her Majesty the Black Empress”?
Ying Zhou snorted.
“Forget it, don’t I understand your young people’s thoughts?”
“When Dorothy, you have completely adapted, let’s talk about it.”
“I am willing to tell you all this because the same blood flows in you as me.”
Hearing this, Adele raised her eyes. Ying Zhou said in a bad mood, “As long as you are a vampire, you are related to me!”
Even if it’s just a trace of a relationship.
“I believe you will become my most loyal allies.”
“Although your current strength is still very small.”
“But maybe one day, I will need your help.”
