Reincarnated without a job, the vampire lady must show her true abilities.

The first lesson of the new year arrived quickly. Luo Qixi stood hesitantly at the door of the astronomical tower room, her toes constantly spinning on the ground.

She had been there many times before, not because she was shy or anything... but because she was holding a gift box in her hands.

This is a gift that Lanleta and I picked out last night, a gift we wanted to give to our teacher... namely, that rather gorgeous dress...

But will the teacher really like it?

You'll probably like it, right?

Hmm... after all, Lanleta said that this dress is very well made and even has some magical functions... but will the teacher be able to use these functions...?

Taking a deep breath, Luo Qixi finally decided it was better not to think too much. She shook her head violently, her braids swaying behind her head. After clearing her mind, she pursed her lips and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

The teacher's cool voice came from behind, suggesting that the teacher had not left or was either asleep this time.

"Good evening, teacher." Entering the room, Luo Qixi gave a slight, obedient bow. "Happy New Year."

"Ah...you too." Catherine's curt reply sounded perfunctory, but Loki knew her teacher was being very serious... After spending a month with Catherine, Loki felt she had come to understand her teacher somewhat...

For example, the way a teacher answers is often consistent in tone, regardless of their mood... therefore, there's no need to judge the teacher's mood from their tone... just look at the sentences themselves...

For example, right now...

Why aren't you sitting down?

The teacher was a little unhappy!

Luo Qixi quickly sat down, but as soon as she sat down, she remembered the box she was holding in her arms, so she had to get up again.

"?"

Catherine raised an eyebrow at her somewhat clumsy apprentice: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No...no, teacher." Loki shook her head, then took a deep breath and brought the box to her front: "This is...this is a gift that Lanleta and I chose for you..."

"A gift?" Cinderella raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Her apprentice was really stupid. She was already penniless, yet she still had money to curry favor with her teacher?

All I can say is that these humans... ah... I should say these non-vampires really... do they think this will make me happy?

Okay... Cinderella felt a little better, but only a little.

The exact amount depends on what gift Luo Qixi gives herself.

Cinderella took the gift from Loki with both hands and glanced at it. The packaging alone must have been expensive... Did she give this idiot too much money?

How about giving me half an Asura silver coin next time?

A little nervous, Luo Qixi was completely unaware that her "salary" was almost at risk of being halved, and she was still worried about whether her teacher would like her gift.

However, Catherine did not open the gift in front of her; instead, she casually placed it on the table.

After a few seconds of silence, Catherine slowly said, "Thank you for the gift."

"Let's begin today's lesson."

"Ah... okay, teacher." Although the teacher's topic was quite broad, Luo Qixi, who was already somewhat used to it, immediately nodded and took out her notebook.

Do you remember what we learned the day before yesterday?

"The difference between Saint-level water magic and superior-level water magic."

"Can you tell me?"

"High-level water magic..."

The lessons were always very short, or rather, that was to be expected of someone like Loki who had studied magic for many years. Cinderella mostly just helped her solve problems.

And most of the time she doesn't have any problems.

After receiving an Asura silver coin, Loki took a snack from her teacher.

"Speaking of which..." Watching her eat her snacks, Cinderella seemed to remember something and said, "Your blood has tasted a little different lately."

"Hmm?" Luo Qixi blinked and looked at the teacher while holding the snacks.

"I don't know how to describe it..." Cidelyn had always taken this matter very seriously, so she was thinking of the most accurate words.

"The aftertaste is a little cloying..." Cinderella muttered, "Although the change isn't drastic, but..."

"But there have been changes," Catherine said, looking at Loki.

Loki was a little confused by Cinderella's words... After all, she had tasted her own blood out of curiosity.

But all I can say is... it just tastes like pure iron... there's nothing like the wine or anything the teacher mentioned.

So what does "teacher" mean now...?

"Um..." After thinking for a moment, Luo Qixi asked, "Teacher, do you know why?"

"I think I understand." Sidley said seriously to Loki, then suddenly reached out and snatched the pastry from Loki's hand.

"Huh?"

Why did you take my snacks? (ºДº*)

"You've gained weight." Catherine's next words made Loki's expression freeze.

Seeing Loki's face gradually turn pale, Cinderella nodded seriously: "It must be because of this..."

"Eating desserts every night...you must have gained weight since the first time I saw you..."

"Teacher, please...please don't say anymore..." For once, Loki interrupted Cinderella, biting her lip and pleading, "I'll lose weight..."

"Ah...you don't need to lose weight or anything." Cinderella shrugged. "I didn't say you've gained weight."

"It's just heavier than before."

"Hmm!"

"Actually, the taste is not bad, but it feels a bit heavier than before."

"Weight...the feeling of weight?"

"Ah..." Seeing Lokishi almost crying, Cinderella wondered if she shouldn't have said those things...

After thinking it over, she put the pastries she had just snatched back into Luo Qixi's hands.

Looking at the pastry in her hand, Luo Qixi didn't take a bite. Instead, she put it on the table and left, dragging her somewhat tired body.

Watching her retreating figure, Cinderella felt, unusually, that she might have said something wrong.

Ok……

Was she being too demanding of her clumsy apprentice...? Cinderella raised an eyebrow as she looked at the gift box on the table.

Maybe I should have said something like, "Being a little chubby is actually good?"

Thinking this, Cinderella opened the gift box and looked at the dress inside. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes... Well, she really didn't expect such a gift.

After all, Catherine has never been too particular about what clothes she wears, and most of the time the clothes she wears were ones she bought about seven or eight years ago.

My stupid apprentice... spending so much money on this would have been better than extracting a few hundred milliliters of my own blood...

Although she said that, Catherine changed into this new dress every day after that.
