[Volume 4]: Chapter 71 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

"Wow, Miss Tiffany, what was that just now?" After feeling the retreat of the strong light, Ifia couldn't wait to open her eyes. She looked at Saint Tiffany with a look of amazement on her face. Although she had been given a blessing halo the last time they parted, which refreshed Ifia's worldview, seeing the light emanating from the fingertips of the other person up close made her realize even more deeply the wonders of the world now! This was no deceptive magic trick; it was genuine superpower! Despite having seen quite a few special creatures, Saint Tiffany being human made the significance entirely different. Ifia was unsure whether she could learn a trick or two from her. Leaving aside everything else, being able to illuminate the night and still look handsome - that was so cool! "It's just some divine power, nothing worth mentioning. Come take a look at the Holy Lotus." Saint Tiffany remained as gentle and approachable as always, then reached out and pushed the silver goblet on the table, piquing Ifia's curiosity. She looked down and discovered patterns suddenly appearing on the bottom of the cup. Oh wow! Could divine power even carve patterns? It turned out to be quite beautiful. She had thought it was something related to processing the Holy Lotus into a specimen, but it turned out to be carving patterns. After successfully diverting Ifia's attention, Saint Tiffany began to chat with her. "Ifia, will you and Baron Amelia be returning to the Priz Academy for further studies?" "Not for the time being. There are some matters in the Kamesh territory that need to be handled, so we have to go there for a while and may stay for some time before returning." Regarding the trip to the Kamesh territory, Amelia did not request confidentiality, so Ifia naturally continued, "Speaking of Kamesh, I once went there with the team to spread the faith of Light. It's very cold there, so be sure to dress warmly. The locals have bold temperaments and may get violent at the drop of a hat, so we need to be careful and not leave Baron Amelia's side." "However, the exquisite ice sculptures there are beautiful and you can even go skiing. There are also some peculiar plants with the ability to..." Listening to Saint Tiffany's narrative, Ifia was all ears and was looking forward to the journey to the Kamesh territory. Amelia had not been to Kamesh before, so they only knew it was very cold and other basic information. Now, they were getting more information from Saint Tiffany. "There's a type of plant in Kamesh called 'Vine of Misfortune.' It is said to be a demon-related plant, entangling someone and amplifying their desires, creating wicked thoughts. But as long as one stays true to oneself, they will maintain their sanity and not be swayed by the Vine of Misfortune." Upon hearing about the demonic plant, Ifia was momentarily stunned but then nodded. With the existence of the Holy Lotus, a luminous plant, the existence of a demonic plant was not surprising. The exploration value of this magical world was quite high! If she had the chance in the future, she would love to be an adventurer and discover more of the world's mysteries. Just thinking about having the opportunity to harmoniously coexist with a group of special creatures made her feel very excited. Of course, the premise was that the special creatures should be pleasant to look at, rather than having a strange appearance. After chatting about the Kamesh territory, Ifia was keen to stretch the probing subtext and curiously asked, "Miss Tiffany, did you see Amelia today?" She was itching to know about the event where the snake demon, Taromati, had abducted Saint Tiffany. However, asking about it directly would be foolish and rude. So, she decided to take a more circuitous route and see if she could glean any information from the side. "Of course, thanks to Baron Amelia's help, I was able to escape so easily," Saint Tiffany replied casually, contrasting Ifia's cautiousness. It seemed as though Saint Tiffany didn't take the snake demon, Taromati, seriously at all. This made Ifia couldn’t help tilting her head and displaying a look of puzzlement. It seemed as though Saint Tiffany had known all along that Taromati was not human, but a snake demon. Seeing through what Ifia was thinking at a glance, Saint Tiffany smiled and treated Ifia like a gentle older sister accompanying her younger sister, not wanting to reveal too much to her. Although she and Taromati were mutually beneficial, in the eyes of others, they were deviating from the norm. Regarding Taromati's identity, there was no need to conceal it since Ifia already knew. It just required a more easily acceptable explanation. "Ifia, did you see her this morning? Actually, Taromati is a demon. I thought I could bring her to my side and gradually influence her, but demons such as her are very dangerous." Saint Tiffany insinuated something, but looking at Ifia’s somewhat clueless expression, it was evident that she didn’t understand. Nevertheless, it was still good to remind her. "If you happen to encounter a demon and are unable to resist, it's best to soothe them gently." Ifia nodded repeatedly and then fearfully patted her chest before saying to Saint Tiffany, "If I encounter a demon, I promise to run away quickly. Even if they chase me, I'll have Amelia with me!" Ifia smiled sweetly, feeling braver. Then, she comforted Saint Tiffany, "Miss Tiffany, please rest assured that Amelia will definitely not let Taromati escape. This demon won’t harass you again." "I hope so." Despite her seeming naïveté, Ifia exhibited a certain determination. Previously, Saint Tiffany might have hesitated before Taromati's abduction, but at this moment, she steeled her heart. While she did not mind having an exchange with Taromati in bed, the premise was that it should be consensual rather than being controlled by desires. Taromati’s whimsical nature needed to be taught a hard lesson. It seemed that the demon king, Ariman, personified by Baron Amelia, was very suitable for this task. Despite being able to kill Taromati, it was difficult, but it was possible to severely injure her and cut ties with her. It wasn't the same faction after all, and they would eventually part ways. Before being kidnapped by Taromati, Saint Tiffany might have been hesitant, but at this moment, she steeled her heart. Just as she was about to continue the topic of demons, Amelia's voice suddenly rang out silently, using invisible dark magic to threaten Saint Tiffany in the room. At the same time, a barely conscious little snake was casually thrown on the ground, which left the Saint dumbfounded.
