[Volume 4]: Chapter 81 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Suddenly being stared at by a stunning beauty, an ordinary person would have had their heart pounding wildly by now. However, for Ifia, she immediately became vigilant. (-) It was highly abnormal for such a beautiful woman to appear in this underground ice cave. No matter how she looked at it, this was very suspicious! Besides, even if the other party was very beautiful, she still couldn't compare to Amelia. It's just a trick to deceive others. Hmph, trying to deceive Ifia, impossible! Due to Amelia's excessively stunning appearance, Ifia's attention had long been drawn, and she couldn't be fooled by someone of unknown origin staring at her like that. So, when she saw the other party staring at her, she immediately felt unhappy. Ifia and Amelia did not let go of each other's hands, and the sense of security that came with it made her fearless. Therefore, she rolled her eyes and said, "What are you looking at!" Fortunately, the other party did not respond with "I'm looking at you," but instead smiled slightly as if not sensing the hostility in Ifia's words, looking very kind. However, the gaze fixed on Ifia did not change, still staring directly at her. There was a strange and creepy sense of horror. This made Ifia, who was not particularly brave, shiver involuntarily and instinctively grip Amelia's hand tighter. Sensing Ifia's fear, Amelia did not mock her, but gave an astonishing explanation, "Ifia, don't be afraid, this is just an illusion." "Illusion?" Adhering to her good habit of asking questions when in doubt, Ifia looked at Amelia with confusion. This illusion is too real! And it can even speak? "Some tricks of the magical plants, the Misfortune Vine creates illusions to confuse humans and make them fall into traps, with their flesh and blood becoming nourishment for the magical plants. In Ifia's eyes, it's a beautiful woman. But in Amelia's eyes, it's just a huge plant. At this moment, numerous vines were waving and wriggling in all directions in the underground ice cave, each seeming to have its own thoughts, opening up cracks on the vines. Sharp, grimacing fangs appeared from within, fiercely gnashing and making a considerable noise. At the same time, numerous vines kept emitting bursts of black mist, slowly filling the entire space. After using illusions to confuse humans, the Misfortune Vine also secretes a poisonous gas to quickly take away the life force of humans, leaving them with no consciousness, only their bodies as nourishment. It's precisely because of this that it's very difficult for humans to obtain the Misfortune Vine. One wrong move could cost them their lives. Even human powerhouses can't resist the illusions and the poison gas, after all, no matter how strong they are, they are still humans and it's hard to resist without special abilities. However, among the unexpected visitors today, besides the little timid Ifia, there's also the assertive Amelia. With a mere lift of her purple eyes, the black mist was immediately devoured by magic, unable to form a climate. Moreover, to minimize the danger, the magic attached itself to the vines, swallowing them before the mist could emerge. It seemed like the Misfortune Vine sensed the danger, as countless vines began to wave frantically. Unfortunately, the black magic quickly solidified into ropes, binding the vines in place. They were trapped and unable to move, feeling extremely stifled. Even the cracks were sealed with black magic, preventing the sharp fangs from being exposed and scaring Ifia. The power of the Misfortune Vine was continuously drained, causing the previously very realistic illusion to flicker for a few moments before the trapped Misfortune Vine couldn't maintain the illusion, and the beautiful woman in front suddenly disappeared. What followed was a bunch of intertwined vines, rapidly appearing in front of them. Ifia silently looked at the bundle of vines in front of her, somewhat speechless. ( She thought it would be so powerful to condense the illusion of the magical plants. But it turned out to be this? This green big bundle, is completely powerless! "Amelia, it's not so difficult to obtain the magical plants, or is... this magical plant not valuable?" Disappointed, Ifia didn't forget to ask for the key point. Amelia, finding this amusing, raised her other hand and lightly patted Ifia's head, giving an assured answer, "Don't worry, it's very valuable, and with such a large volume, it can be divided into numerous portions for auction." What a little money-lover she is! However, it's just right to take advantage of this opportunity to sort out the source of the magical plants for the auction. To avoid Ifia noticing any clues. Although Ifia, this little scatterbrain, didn't pay much attention, she still occasionally pursued the root of the matter out of the blue. In response, Amelia could only find suitable excuses to answer her questions. "That's great!" Hearing that the magical plant is very valuable and abundant, Ifia finally relaxed. They had only just set out and had already made a huge gain. They were so lucky! After observing the magical plant for a while, Ifia really wanted to get closer to take a look, but she was afraid that the plant might have some other tricks up its sleeve. So she looked at Amelia with a hopeful gaze. Amidst the fluffy hat, her small face looked even more adorable, fair and delicate, with sparkling black eyes that were incredibly bright. It made people want to pinch her soft cheeks hard. Ifia, who didn't realize how cute she was, quietly moved closer to Amelia and made her request, "Amelia, I want to take a closer look, can I?" After spending so much time together, Ifia understood Amelia. She knew that she couldn't resist her coquettishness. She was completely surrendering unconditionally. Therefore, she raised her hand and gently swayed her arm, leaning against her. However, if this had been a usual situation, she would have been like a little bird nestling against her, but now, Ifia, who was dressed so heavily, turned into a little chubby bird, flapping her wings but failing to fly to the treetop. This made Ifia pause, and then stubbornly continue, attempting to nestle into Amelia's arms, only to find that she couldn't squeeze in. She could only stare in frustration. "Of course." Suppressing her amusement, Amelia did not refuse Ifia's request, but took the initiative to step forward, quickly approaching the Misfortune Vine while holding Ifia's hand. This made Ifia, who had intended to be angry, unable to think about anything else and curiously circled around the Misfortune Vine. This Misfortune Vine could only use illusions, it didn't seem to pose any real threat. It's completely useless. Although the illusions were realistic and beautiful, they didn't even come close to being half as good as Amelia. It's impossible to entice Ifia! Phew. Fortunately, although the magical plant is useless, it's able to give off some residual heat, allowing them to make a fortune at the auction. Hee hee hee~ Just as Ifia was gleefully thinking about all this, the giant vine bundle suddenly shook violently, like a trapped beast fighting desperately, trying to break free from the magical confinement. In the struggle, a vine fiercely broke free from the restraint, whipping toward Ifia with lightning speed and a strong wind, clearly demonstrating tremendous force!
