Chapter 15: The Zhang Family
"See you next time, Miss Lokishi, and Miss Sylvania."
See you next time.
Watching Paul and the others walk away, Loki pursed her lips slightly.
It has to be said that although they only fought together for one night, Loki felt that her relationship with them had improved a lot. She learned that Paul was an Asura who had run away from home when he was young, and that Kyrie Irvine had trained in the Holy Land of Swords...
But sometimes that's just how it is; countless people pass through our lives, and often goodbye means never seeing each other again.
Seeing that Loki seemed a little dejected, Cinderella asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Ah... Teacher... It's nothing." Luo Qixi forced a smile.
"You don't look like nothing's wrong." Even standing in the shadows, Cinderella kept her hood pulled tighter.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qixi pursed her lips and finally whispered, "I was just thinking about many people I've met before..."
We've all said goodbye before.
"Ah..." Cidelyn nodded knowingly, "I think you'll meet again."
Why?
"No reason," Catherine said, shaking her head. "It's just that we should go back, shouldn't we?"
Her silly apprentice... she'd only known him for one night... Cissine didn't know what to say.
Life is long, there will always be a chance to meet again... and with the abilities of their team members... Cinderella believed that it wouldn't be long before they became well-known adventurers on the continent.
The flight back to Lanoa was uneventful, perhaps because Loki was trying to hold back from throwing up again.
"Clatter".
In the end, Sidley didn't leave Loki outside, since it was already completely daylight... Many students were coming and going in the school, and Sidley didn't want to attract too many onlookers.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
And Loki did not disappoint Cinderella's expectations. Although she was coughing violently while sitting in the chair, she ultimately did not vomit again.
"Alright... that concludes today's lesson." Cidelyn yawned and said slowly, "Let's rest tonight... Same time tomorrow night..."
"Ah... Teacher?" Hearing Catherine's dismissive words, Loki clenched her clothes slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
"Your reward?" Catherine raised an eyebrow and said, "This is, to some extent, a task you completed independently... so according to our agreement... the commission money is yours, but as for the reward... wait a few days."
"I don't have any yet..."
"Teacher, that's not what I meant..." Luo Qixi said, lowering her head slightly as if she felt a little shy, "I meant... blood."
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"Ah..." Sidlin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook her head: "No need."
"I've already eaten."
"Huh...huh?" Luo Qixi's eyes widened suddenly: "Did you secretly...secretly suck it while I was sleeping?"
"It's not your blood."
"Wh...what?" Loki blinked and looked at Catherine. "Then teacher...teacher, you didn't take Paul's drug..."
"I don't drink men's blood," Catherine explained, coughing slightly. "It's Kyrie Il's."
"Gilead...Gileadnu?"
Even hearing that name didn't bring Luo Qixi any peace of mind... For some reason, she felt relieved when she heard that her teacher hadn't sucked her blood today.
Luo Qixi actually felt a little disappointed... It couldn't be because she wanted to be sucked blood by her teacher, could it? It must be because she didn't get that Asura silver coin...
But... holding the money she received from the commission... Luo Qixi didn't feel satisfied...
"Alright... if there's nothing else, go back. I'm going to sleep... I'm really sleepy..." Cinderella waved her hand at the stunned Loki, then sat down on her coffin lid.
"Okay...okay, teacher..."
Even though she hadn't been drained of blood and had even received the requested silver coins, she was still feeling a little unhappy... Walking down the street, Luo Qixi didn't know what was wrong with her...
But putting everything else aside... not only am I a bit sleepy, but I'm also a little tired... I think I should go back and rest for a bit first...
Yawning and clutching her money bag, Luo Qixi returned wearily to her dormitory.
The outcome of entering the dormitory was predictable; Luo Qixi had to spend a considerable amount of time explaining that she hadn't done anything strange...
After Loki left, Cinderella didn't rush to sleep... She endured her exhaustion and sat on the coffin lid, still needing to help resolve some issues with her foolish apprentice.
One is about her roommate... a girl named Lanleta, whose blood type isn't particularly special... but since she brought some snacks...
After thinking for a few seconds, Catherine picked up a quill and wrote a letter.
Watching the letter being carried away by a bat, she nodded and turned her attention to something else.
That is, blood...
She drank some of Girenaus's blood, and then deliberately left a little bit behind... The reason was simple: after drinking Girenaus's blood, Cidline felt a sense of satisfaction... This satisfaction was not the satisfaction of the palate, but the kind that came from within.
Cinderella knew what this feeling meant... it meant she had taken another step closer to maturity.
A vampire's growth is related not only to age, but also to the blood they consume... The more blood they consume, the stronger the power of the person they consume, and the more effective it will be.
As the Sword King, Kyrielight's blood played a significant role in Sidrin's growth.
It's like fast-forwarding from a growth rate that might have taken decades to just over a decade?
The Sword King's blood is really good... It's a pity that I probably won't have many chances to drink her blood again.
Perhaps I should try harder to help Luo Qixi improve her abilities?
Loki's blood tastes far superior to Kyrie's... If she were also a Water King-level mage, it would definitely be of great help...
However, she's still quite a distance from being the Water King... Loki's performance in this adventure still had quite a few flaws.
Thinking this, Catherine nodded gently.
Maybe it's because her staff wasn't very good... Well then... let's use a staff as her reward?
Thinking this, Cinderella rummaged through the drawers of the table and finally took out a huge blue crystal that looked quite magnificent.
It's probably better to go in person... It's been so many years since we last met.
After making the decision, she stretched and lay down in the coffin.
Now I can finally rest...
I'm so sleepy.
