[Volume 4]: Chapter 80 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Just by appearance alone, the silver small fish is ugly to the extreme. The fish eyes bulged, the scales were spiky, and there were more than a dozen eyes on the fish body, constantly swiveling. Looking at it for just a moment made Ifia quickly avert her gaze and instead look at Amelia to cleanse her eyes. Why are these things limited to horror movies appearing in the underground ice cave!!! And not just one, but many groups of them. Floating in mid-air at this moment, wagging their tails, and dozens of malicious gazes made people feel goosebumps, almost frightened to death. "Don't be afraid." Perhaps the fear on Ifia's face was too obvious, causing Amelia to directly reach out and hold Ifia's head, pulling her close into her embrace. During this time, Ifia only saw Amelia's clothes and smelled a sweet fragrance. It had to be said that Amelia's protection was truly reassuring. At least, at this moment, Ifia was no longer afraid, but instead felt calmed. They were just a group of miscellaneous fish. Her Amelia is very formidable! (j In fact, as Ifia thought, Amelia glanced forward. In an instant, the black magic turned into a mist that quickly engulfed the surroundings. Before those silver small fish with malicious intent even had a chance to act, they were swiftly consumed by the mist, not leaving behind a single scale. Only the sounds of eerie and mournful calls, much like humans calling for help, could be heard. Unfortunately, besides Ifia quickly covering her ears, there were no other humans here. No one to fool. Only Amelia, with a cold and indifferent gaze, looked at these miscellaneous fish. Her silver hair swayed in the wind, and her purple eyes shone with an ominous light. Faced with these things that had frightened Ifia, she naturally wore a displeased expression, wishing to make them disappear immediately. Once the silver small fish had completely vanished, Amelia released Ifia. Sensing Amelia's release, Ifia did not immediately look around but instead quickly raised her head to look at Amelia, her black eyes filled with disdain for the miscellaneous fish, "Amelia, are those fish still there?" Upon hearing the question, Amelia shook her head and fabricated a casual lie, "After killing some, the rest were scared off by me." Not to mention the aggressive approach of the silver small fish and their overwhelming numbers, it was inevitable that there would be corpses if they had truly fought. However, the ground was completely clean, with nothing left behind. Therefore, this explanation was easily dismantled and hardly believable. "I knew that you, Amelia, are the most amazing!" However, it was obvious that Ifia did not overthink it. She only extracted the information she wanted from Amelia's response and paid no attention to anything else. She was only aware that the ugly fish had disappeared. Phew~ Although these strange fish looked difficult to deal with, Ifia was only scared because they were too ugly. So eerie. Moreover, Amelia could easily deal with these miscellaneous fish, just like she did with the dark elves. Ifia had already placed a layer of admiration for the formidable around Amelia, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with her scaring away these strange fish. Once she relaxed, she began to survey her surroundings. When she had looked down from above earlier, she had only seen a vague overview and not a clear view. Now they had successfully arrived in the underground ice cave, and she could see that there was not just one entrance, but many. The various black entrances, large and small, were like a honeycomb, and one did not know where they led to. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, making Ifia, bundled up like a polar bear, feel a chilling sensation to her bones. Looking at these entrances, Ifia felt like it was tormenting her with too many choices. Which one should she choose??? While Ifia struggled to make a decision, Amelia sighed at how gullible Ifia was and how easily she trusted her. She had no doubt in her words. She had indeed been duped and then turned to help count the money, but at least she was constantly by her side, so she didn't have to worry about others. Silly and cute. Thinking this, Amelia couldn't help but gently pat Ifia's furry hat, and without waiting for Ifia to decide on an entrance, she took Ifia's hand and casually picked one to enter. None of these ice cave entrances would lead them to their destination smoothly. Choosing one was just a waste of time. Therefore, it was more efficient to forcefully create a passage through the ice cave and easily resolve all the problems. Plus, she could choose the closest route. If it weren't for not wanting to reveal her demon identity in front of Ifia, she would have quickly found the Devil's Vine and wouldn't have to proceed as slowly as they were now. However, even though the entrances to the underground ice cave looked terrifying, once they entered, the surrounding ice walls as passageways surprisingly emitted a faint blue light. The ice layers appeared exceptionally transparent and beautiful. Just as Ifia's mind was filled with such thoughts, it was immediately dispelled by what she saw and heard next. After they had walked a certain distance, the beautiful ice walls began to reveal something cruel. Various animals were trapped within the ice layers, including those from the sea, land, and air. Each creature was frozen in a menacing posture, desperately trying to escape. But alas, they had ultimately failed and were now frozen within the ice layers. As they silently observed these trapped animals, they began to undergo changes. They shifted from initially normal animals to gradually becoming peculiar, defying any specific naming. As Ifia continued to watch, she quietly clenched Amelia's hand. Though the warmth couldn't be felt through their thick gloves, being held gave her a sense of reassurance. Though she knew that the demon plants were not ordinary, the process of finding them did not need to be so horrifying. (-」 Now that she had seen these, Ifia had completely lost any hope for that thing called the Devil's Vine and only wanted to get away from it. Ahh, it's too terrifying, she wanted to give up. However, as a stubborn ruler, Ifia naturally wouldn't directly admit it. So, at this moment, she continued to follow Amelia with a solemn expression, pretending not to look around carelessly. However, Amelia had long understood Ifia's character. She was both helpless and amused by this stubborn little kitten, ultimately indulging her and using magic to quickly create the closest route to the Devil's Vine. Afterward, she led the clueless Ifia, avoiding a lot of trouble, effectively skipping the normal levels like in a game and directly entering the final level. Finally reaching the vicinity of the Devil's Vine, the ice had been replaced by black stone walls, which now emitted a faint red light, illuminating the surroundings. At the same time, a white mist diffused around, tainted with the red glow. "Welcome, lovely guests." In the dim light, a gorgeous woman was seen sitting in front, faintly obscured in the mist. Her ice-blue long hair fell loose behind her, and she wore a dark blue robe that bared her fragrant shoulders. At this moment, she was smiling as she looked at the sudden and unwelcome guests. Especially, her gaze lingered on Ifia, and the remaining aura of divine power caused her to lick her lips.
