My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

Lin Mo thought to himself.

The bicycle moved forward, the wind carrying away his voice. Lin Xuan didn't hear her brother's accusations at all. She looked down at her backpack, where Snowball usually hid. Today it felt empty, which felt strange.

At the alley entrance, a fluffy, chubby cat strode past with agile steps.

"Meow~"

A large truck was speeding by when it suddenly saw a big, fat cat and slammed on the brakes.

With a leap, the nine-tailed fox's chubby belly brushed against the windowpane.

The truck driver was terrified.

Damn, we've run into a super cat?!

He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.

Nine-tailed Foxhound walked past the truck, head held high, and haughtily entered the alley, where it spotted a pure white silver foxhound.

Its eyes lit up; it was captivated by the beauty of the silver fox dog.

It went over to try and rub against the fox, but before it could attract the little silver fox with its unique charm, Lin Xuan grabbed it.

"Snowball, so you were here all along."

"Meow~"

Nine-Tailed Snowball let out a mournful meow.

Lin Mo shook his head, thinking that Nine-Tailed Fox should just accept its fate.

After dropping Lin Xuan off at school, Lin Mo rode his pink bicycle to Mingyue High School.

He promised to pick her up from school that evening.

Hidden away in the city.

The most bustling central district of Ulsan, home to the most upscale Empire State Building.

This Empire State Building cost 300 billion, which is out of line with the housing prices in Weicheng, but it is the most coveted luxury home for all ambitious young people in Weicheng. It is said to be owned by a foreign company.

Floors 1 to 20 are the most upscale hotel floors, while floors 20 to 35 are the hotel owner's private residences, interconnected large apartments, a level above villas.

At this moment, inside the top floor of the Empire State Building, several "young people" holding "wine glasses" were gathered around a white jade round table, each with a serious expression.

“I have always disagreed with entrusting the Redemption Rose to her for safekeeping.”

A handsome man with a clean-shaven face, wearing a white shirt, and blond hair, exuding a poetic air, spoke.

"She is the most outstanding offspring we have raised, and her talent far surpasses that of everyone here."

The equally handsome and refined man raised his wine glass, swirled the liquid inside, and revealed sharp teeth.

"I'm so disappointed that Lilith would give a holy artifact to an ordinary person."

A handsome man with an Asian face, dressed in a black tuxedo, his silver hair neatly combed, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, spoke in a deep, husky voice, as if weathered by time.

"This is only Mr. Xiang's side of the story; the specifics need to be investigated."

Unlike the others who held wine glasses, the person speaking held an exquisite ceramic teacup and slowly blew on it.

"He knows that the Rose of Salvation is with Lilith, which means that the guys from other factions know it too. Whatever the truth is, inform Lilith and bring the artifact back."

The blond, blue-eyed man, the only one who looked older, spoke.

"Yes, elder."

Without exception, their faces showed no signs of aging; their skin was smooth, their features delicate, their figures upright, and their complexions slightly pale. They all possessed the air of artists.

...

On Lin Mo's first day back at school, her classmates' attention was no longer solely drawn to the goddess Ye Zimo.

Who is this?

"Lin Mo from Class 2 of Grade 11, the one who came in second in the last math competition, is nicknamed 'Little Ma'."

"How come I never noticed before? He's actually quite good-looking."

"Now that you mention it, it's true. I never noticed before. Did you get plastic surgery?"

"Is it because you're wearing colored contact lenses?"

Although the students' discussions were mostly whispers, Lin Mo's hearing was superhuman, and he heard them very clearly.

Looks like I'm completely famous now... Lin Mo silently complained.

He parked his bicycle and walked back to Class 2 of Grade 11 in the old teaching building.

"Brother Ma, you've finally decided to come back?"

Mr. Wei, the homeroom teacher who was already in the classroom supervising everyone's morning self-study, greeted them warmly.

Old Wei still styled his bangs to the left, and his head remained a barren wasteland.

Lin Mo was deeply moved by what he saw.

The things I experienced with the vampire before all felt like a dream; this is reality!

Lin Mo walked into the classroom, touched, and found his deskmate Ye Zimo already sitting in her seat, tilting her head to look at him.

Okay, it wasn't a dream.

Lin Mo returned to his seat and smiled at Ye Zimo, "You're here really early."

"I see."

"?"

Lin Mo was completely bewildered.

Chapter 80 I Heard

Ye Zimo glanced at Lin Mo indifferently.

"So it was because of my sister that I was so curious about the Nine-Tails."

Ye Zimo opened her textbook, her words light and airy.

"Ah...uh...haha."

Lin Mo gave an awkward smile and waved to Lao Wei, "Lao Wei, you look a lot younger lately, hahaha."

"Hmph, do you think praising me like that will make me allow you to take another long leave? No way! Final exams are in just over a month. If your math grades drop, you'll be coming back for extra lessons during winter break!"

Old Wei said righteously that he had finally discovered a child with mathematical talent, so how could he give up so easily?

"Doesn't the government stipulate that tutoring is not allowed?"

Lin Mo pursed his lips.

"That's against the rule of not charging for tutoring, but I'll tutor you for free!"

Old Wei pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a scorching light that seemed to have a power to elevate one's personality, almost blinding Lin Mo.

So, you are such a selfless homeroom teacher!

"You don't even charge for tutoring? Aren't you disrupting the market?"

Li Qi always makes silly remarks when he shouldn't.

Lin Mo glanced back at him, suspecting that he was still drunk.

"Li Qi, go outside for some fresh air."

Old Wei's usual practice is for Li Qi to just act as a gatekeeper.

If his mouth could be sewn shut, Lao Wei wouldn't mind learning some needlework from Dongfang Bubai.

Xia Luoluo came to school with Ye Zimo today. She was immersed in happy fantasies all day, and her cheeks were flushed, as if she had been in the air conditioning too much.

"Xia Luoluo, what are you grinning about?"

As a single man of over thirty years, Lao Wei can't stand the stench of romance.

Judging from Xia Luoluo's expression, it would be strange if she wasn't in a relationship!

Her best friend, Jian, nudged her arm, and she snapped out of her daze, looking at Lao Wei's serious face.

"Teacher, I don't know how to do this question. I will study hard and I will definitely do it next time."

Her standard answer came out without hesitation, causing the whole class to burst into laughter.

Old Wei pointed to the empty blackboard. "Did I write any questions? Did you know the future?"

Xia Luoluo swallowed hard, sweat beading on her forehead. Sure enough, even the standard answer isn't foolproof; there are always times when it backfires.

Lin Mo shook his head, thinking that Xia Luoluo and Li Qi were a real pair of clowns.

At this moment, Ye Zimo was still waiting for his answer. Her eyes met Lin Mo's out of the corner of her eye, and it seemed as if sparks could fly between them.

"Okay, I did misunderstand Kurama..."

Lin Mo lowered his voice and explained the whole story to Ye Zimo, who nodded slightly.

"Your sister doesn't know that Snowball is a fox demon?"

"Yes, she doesn't know. It's better that way. She's timid; she'd probably be terrified."

Ye Zimo nodded thoughtfully, "I see."

"What? So that's how it is?"

Lin Mo had no idea what truth Ye Zimo had come to realize.

"Just like you were afraid of me at first, you must be afraid of the Nine-Tails' power, right?"

"This has nothing to do with fear or not; I just don't want Lin Xuan to get involved in strange things."

Lin Mo sighed. He had already been caught up in the supernatural events. If it were a normal person, they would have died several times over. Whether it was encountering Li Qing, Jiang Chatu, or Xiang Yu's pursuit, he had only survived by sheer luck. He didn't want his sister to suffer the same fate as him.

Ye Zimo looked away and continued reading.

Although she appears aloof on the surface, Lin Mo stole her first kiss, which made her feel different from others.

Therefore, she would be more curious about Lin Mo's affairs.
