The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies-Chapter 270: What Does it Feel Like to Like Someone?
Why would Dorothy like her? Adele found herself lost in thought, which was rare for her.
Firstly, she hadn’t expected Kaiser to ask her such a direct question the first time they spoke.
Secondly, Dorothy’s fondness for her wasn’t something that could be explained in a few words.
More importantly, Adele couldn’t possibly tell Kaiser her secret of being a “transmigrator.”
Before transmigrating, there was only one reason why Dorothy would like “Adele.” First, she was beautiful; second, her blood was sweet. It was practically the way a beast chose a mate, focusing solely on appearance and utility, without any heart-to-heart communication. There was only the strong bullying and threatening the weak.
After the transmigration, the reason Dorothy continued to like Adele was obviously more than just Adele’s inherent beauty and sweet blood. That was possessiveness for an object, not even close to love.
So, if she were to talk about what happened between her and Dorothy, including some of her little “playing hard to get” maneuvers, there would be a lot to say. So she needed to think about how to make it up... no, how to tell it.
After a moment of contemplation, Adele realized she didn’t need to answer Kaiser’s question at all. It was her private business.
However, out of respect for Kaiser’s strength, Adele didn’t directly refuse. Instead, she chose to take the offensive!
“What does Dorothy liking me have to do with you?”
“Kaiser, do you like Dorothy?”
“Is that why you’re here to confront me?”
“I’ve heard about you constantly challenging Dorothy since you were young...”
“Could it be that you’re not trying to prove you’re stronger than her, but because you like her!?”
Kaiser was visibly stunned, hearing such a claim for the first time. Besides Adele, few dared to speculate about the relationship between Kaiser and Dorothy, the two most powerful Rank Ones.
Let alone say it directly to Kaiser’s face.
This wasn’t just a bold statement, it was a provocation. The other girls instantly tensed up. They watched Kaiser’s every expression and movement, ready to protect Adele at a moment’s notice.
Time ticked by in this tense atmosphere. Kaiser finally responded.
“No, I don’t think so.”
“I don’t understand emotions like ‘liking,’ and I’ve never liked anyone.”
“But many people like me and want me to ‘ravage’ them.”
Like Wen Xi, and many other high-ranking noble girls. Although Kaiser wasn’t emotionally intelligent, she was powerful, aloof, and had a great figure, making her the dream of countless young girls. They didn’t care if they would have nothing to talk about or if their personalities clashed in the future. All they wanted was to be conquered by a lioness like Kaiser, like a female beast, pinned down on a bed and purring.
“So, I can somewhat discern what the emotion of ‘liking’ is.”
“Perhaps it’s directly equivalent to ‘lust.'”
“So, I don’t like Dorothy. I don’t have those worldly desires for her.”
Kaiser interpreted “liking” so arbitrarily. It truly fit her personality as someone standing at the peak of power—that is, arrogant. She didn’t expect that her statement wouldn’t receive any approval from the girls around her.
But it did earn a snort of laughter from Adele.
“Pfft, haha!”
“Your words are laughable!”
“Someone who doesn’t even understand the meaning of ‘like’ is asking why others like me...haha!”
“Kaiser, I don’t know if you’ll be angry if I say this.”
“But to me, you standing before me right now... aren’t a true Bloodkin yet.”
“You can only be called a beast.”
The girl’s clear gaze met Kaiser’s furrowed brows, a rare sight. To be honest, Wofoo had never seen Kaiser like this. Her power was enough for her to handle anything in reality with ease.
Except for defeating Dorothy.
That was the reason why Kaiser was so concerned with, and obsessed with, defeating Dorothy.
But now, Adele had sparked the same concern and obsession in Kaiser. Perhaps not to the same extent yet. But Kaiser’s eyes showed that she had indeed begun to explore a new question.
This... this wasn’t good!
Kaiser could obsess over Dorothy all she wanted, because Dorothy was stronger than her. At least before they fought again, based on their previous battles, Kaiser was the weaker one.
But if Kaiser became fixated on Adele... Adele had no ability to tame this beast!
Thus, Wofoo couldn’t help but sweat for Adele, puzzled by her provocation of Kaiser. But even if she was puzzled, if Adele faced danger, she and Celeste would be the first “loyal dogs” to rush in front of their master to stop Kaiser.
But the clever Celeste chose to divert the conversation aside from direct confrontation.
“Why don’t we stop discussing this topic...”
“Kaiser, if we stay here, Dorothy will definitely come here after exploring other areas.”
“Then, you can fulfill your wish and duel her... wouldn’t that be better?”
“You know Dorothy can’t be eliminated before that.”
“Since that’s the case, there’s no need to argue over this...”
Unfortunately, Celeste’s attempt to ease the tension clearly failed. Because Kaiser was still frowning in thought, completely ignoring Celeste as if she were air. Perhaps in her heart, she also considered Celeste a weakling unworthy of attention. The strong should trample on the weak! Although Kaiser wasn’t that excessive, her arrogance was self-evident.
This, in turn, angered Adele. This led to the next scene, which shocked everyone.
“Hey! Celeste is talking to you!”
Adele suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Kaiser’s collar, and pulled her towards her. Although this attempt failed, and Kaiser didn’t budge, Adele had to stand on tiptoe, still glaring fiercely and adorably at Kaiser. But the courage she displayed in that moment, a courage ordinary people lacked, moved everyone present, including Kaiser.
She widened her wolf-like blue eyes slightly. Confusion gradually appeared in her eyes. What was this... This girl, who looked so weak, dared to confront her, someone far more powerful. She dared to step forward and face the anger she might unleash.
That was something even Sharon and Edith, who were beside her, couldn’t do. Could it be because of... “Liking?”
Kaiser couldn’t understand, but she was deeply intrigued. And because of Adele’s actions, the girl’s attention had completely shifted from “Why does Dorothy like Adele?” to “What is liking?”
But this question wasn’t unsolvable. Rather, it was being vividly demonstrated right before her eyes. The weak Adele, to protect Celeste, who seemed much stronger than her, actually scolded her...
The impact this had on Kaiser was even greater than when Dorothy defeated her. After all, no one had dared to defy Kaiser before. That was why she had grown into her current arrogant self.
“...Adele, you really surprise me.”
“Maybe you’re right.”
“I don’t understand liking at all.”
“But you understand, and you acted on it.”
She turned to look at Celeste, the pressure of her tall figure making Celeste feel suffocated. But she was unusually unafraid, because the place in her heart that should have been filled with fear was now filled with the warmth of “Master protected me.” She no longer thought of compromising. Because she carried her master’s distress. This feeling was more important than anything else.
“Kaiser, what do you want to say?”
She asked coldly through gritted teeth, standing on the same front as her master.
Kaiser blinked, clearly noticing the change in Celeste. And this undoubtedly stemmed from Adele’s influence. She thought for a moment and replied.
“...I just want to say that what you just said makes a lot of sense.”
“I’ll accept your suggestion and wait here for Dorothy.”
Hearing Kaiser’s respectful reply to Celeste, Adele gradually loosened her grip on her collar. It was at this moment that Kaiser turned to look at Adele again.
She seemed completely oblivious to Adele’s offense. A glint of unreadable light flickered in her wolf-like blue eyes.
“But before that, I want to stay with you, Adele.”
“I want to know what it feels like to ‘like’ someone.”
“Huh???”
