[Volume 4]: Chapter 72 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

"Leaving so soon!" Seeing Amelia, Ifia lamented with her words, but her eager expression made it clear that she wanted to depart immediately! To the frigid land of Kamis, where ice stretches for miles! Upon reaching the land of Kamis, she intended to build a snowman herself. If possible, she wanted to carve an ice sculpture, even though it wouldn't be as impressive as those made by professional sculptors. She could make a simple ice sculpture of SpongeBob or Patrick, similar to those easy animated characters. To show the locals a thing or two. Of course, if she couldn't manage, she had Amelia to help her! Lost in these thoughts, Ifia didn't notice the tense atmosphere at the moment, or the faint green snake lying unconscious, carelessly tossed by Amelia at the feet of Saint Tiffany. Although the identity of this snake wasn't explicitly mentioned, a little consideration made it clear that it was Taromati. Saint Tiffany was momentarily stunned but quickly regained her composure, feeling that this was the fate Taromati deserved for toying with the Archdemon Lord. Indeed, demons were hard to kill... It was just that Taromati's usual boastful remarks about her strength now seemed greatly diminished. It made people wonder if she was just bragging. Otherwise, how could she have been so miserably dealt with, unable to even maintain her demon form? The means through which the Archdemon Lord had "retrieved" Taromati carried an intimidating threat, leaving Saint Tiffany to silently sigh, refraining from warning Ifia to beware of demons. Everyone's fate was different. May kind-hearted people receive divine protection. "We were only dropping by to visit. Thank you very much for the accommodation, Saint. We won't disturb you any longer." Hearing this, Saint Tiffany merely nodded coldly, without saying much. Amelia, on the other hand, smirked. Seeing Saint Tiffany no longer being overconfident, her purple eyes expressed satisfaction. She then reached out and gently ruffled Ifia's hair, as if soothing a lovable pet. Unhappy with Amelia's gesture, Ifia's hairstyle was now completely disheveled! To stop Amelia's actions, Ifia raised her hand and grabbed her arm, getting up from the couch in a sticky manner, half-leaning on Amelia as if trying to hitch a ride on the carriage. However, after the pleasant chat with Saint Tiffany and now about to leave, Ifia turned her head to look at the saint. Excitement shone on Ifia's face as she raised a hand and waved to Saint Tiffany with a smile, two cute dimples appearing on her smiling mouth. "Miss Tiffany, see you later. I will bring back some local specialties!" "I am looking forward to it." Compared to her cold nod towards Amelia, Saint Tiffany's expression became much warmer when faced with the radiant and adorable Ifia. She, too, raised her hand and waved at Ifia. Her eyes were covered by a white ribbon, but she continued to face the door, watching Amelia and Ifia leave. Only when the two of them completely disappeared from view did Saint Tiffany lower her head. The injured little snake remained unconscious, pitifully lying there. Seeing this, Saint Tiffany didn't feel any pity. Instead, she couldn't help but lift the corners of her mouth and murmur to herself, "It's cuter when it's quiet." Riding on Amelia's fast carriage, Ifia saved her energy even in walking, being immediately taken back to a luxurious carriage. The coachman was already in position, waiting for the two to board the carriage, then cracking the whip and setting off. As the carriage wheels rolled slowly, Ifia watched the scenery outside the window whiz by, wishing they could arrive at their destination immediately. However, the land of Kamis was not particularly far from Dalva City, and she estimated it would take a few days to reach. Thinking about this, Ifia suddenly realized she had overlooked an important question, prompting her to look at Amelia in confusion and ask, "Amelia, the land of Kamis isn't that far, so why is the weather so harsh?" If Kamis was a land of endless ice and snow, why was the temperature suitable here in Dalva City, which wasn't that far away? It just didn't make sense! After all, it wasn't that far. If her classmates Jessica and Lucy were here, they would surely be shocked, wondering where Ifia had come from, not even knowing the common knowledge of the Sis Empire! However, since Amelia was aware that Ifia was absentminded and lacked various knowledge, she didn't find it strange at this moment and patiently explained to her. "Unlike most territories of the Sis Empire, some territories have special characteristics. Take the land of Kamis, for example. In a fixed area, it's a freezing cold land with snowstorms everywhere, but beyond this area, it returns to warmth." "However, there aren't many territories with such harsh living conditions like Kamis, and the resources it yields aren't particularly important." Amelia smiled, almost saying it wasn't valuable. In fact, it was true. Otherwise, Prince Carloy wouldn't have used it as a bet during the academy's celebration event. Presumably, he thought of the land of Kamis as unappetizing and disposable, much like a chicken rib. Even if he lost, it wouldn't matter. However, compared to the foolish Prince Carloy, the Rosalind royal family knew quite a few secrets. Therefore, to obscure their purpose, they chose to place the land of Kamis under Prince Carloy's name. So they were not willing to let go and hand over the territory. The widely spread treasure rumors were just a hoax; the Rosalind royal family harbored other motives. Besides the Jinxed Vines, the land of Kamis also had several demonic plants. Among them was a type that could control people's minds. Hah. Presumably, the Rosalind royal family had sent people over long ago, but finding the demonic plants wasn't an easy task. Seeing the wary Baren family about to join in, the relentless Rosalind royal family made a decision. To cause chaos. "The reasons that make these territories so mysterious have no clear answers so far. However, according to some biographies and hearsay, many clues point to the invasion of these territories by demons." "Therefore, in addition to the precious resources lacking in human territories, there are also some things belonging to demons, such as demonic plants or demonic ores." Sitting next to Amelia, Ifia didn't sit obediently but leaned on her shoulder bonelessly, listening attentively to Amelia's words. After listening, she felt that this world was indeed very miraculous, completely different from the world she lived in in her past life. Although it wasn't very safe, it was very suitable for adventure! And in Ifia's anticipation, the travel time seemed to speed up. After several days and nights, they finally arrived at the land of Kamis! Dressed in warm winter clothes, Ifia looked like a round little snowball. As she excitedly raised her hand to open the curtain and look outside, all she could see was white snow. The cold wind, accompanied by snowflakes, felt like sharp, icy blades hitting her face. Feeling cold, Ifia involuntarily shrugged her neck but still kept her eyes wide open. It was then that Ifia, with her keen eyes, spotted some figures not far away! "Amelia, there are people ahead!" The coachman driving the carriage had clearly also seen it and immediately whipped the horses in that direction after asking for Miss Baren's opinion. They had intended to ask for directions, but before they got close, they saw blood everywhere.
