[Volume 4]: Chapter 96 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Qiuer Te angrily left, but it did not delay the auction's fervor! The guards below were scrambling to bid for the second magical plant, and its price was steadily rising. After the successful bid of the second magical plant for fifty million gold coins, the third and fourth plants were also snapped up for forty-five million and forty-three million respectively. This left Ifia, watching from the second floor, somewhat puzzled. Originally, she thought that after displaying ten magical plants, the auction prices would drop. After all, the more of something there was, the less valuable it became, even if the magical plants of Kames were very rare. Having such thoughts running in her mind, Ifia directly asked... It was unbearable not to voice her concerns! Furthermore, Amelia, the organizer of the auction, was right in front of her and must know the answer! In fact, that was the case. In response to Ifia's inquiry, Amelia smiled and replied, "Although there are ten magical plants being auctioned, there are only ten of them, representing various families among the guards below. This is certainly not enough for everyone! Moreover, I have arranged for someone to monitor and control the prices to avoid them being too low." She seemed to recall Ifia's strong dislike for Qiuer Te and continued, "Qiuer Te spitting blood was due to his low tolerance. Originally, I hesitated about controlling the auction price of the second magical plant, like lowering the bidding price, and then comparing it with the second one, which would definitely infuriate him. "However, after thinking it over, I abandoned that plan, considering that I cannot have conflicts over just money." "Unexpectedly, even before the auction of the second magical plant commenced, after the ten magical plants were announced, Qiuer Te had already been overwhelmed and fainted." Given Amelia's character, she would not consider these things too much, but with Ifia beside her, she had to carefully think it over. After all, the decrease in auction proceeds from the magical plants would make Ifia miserable. "Hehe, Qiuer Te fainting is his own fault. He's so annoying! Ifia likes Amelia's cleverness. Even though she hadn't asked the question, she had already given the answer she wanted." In Ifia's smug satisfaction, losing Qiuer Te, the troublemaker, the auction proceeded smoothly, and all ten magical plants were unquestionably successfully auctioned. The huge amount of money obtained from the auction, the consecutive zeroes, made Ifia feel dizzy just by hearing about it. What a fortune! These ten strange magical plants were worth so much money! However, thinking of the calamity vine in the underground ice cave, if it weren't for Amelia, Ifia herself would probably have died long ago. Being able to obtain and auction the magical plants was indeed due to Amelia's tremendous ability! Therefore, in the face of such a huge profit from the auction, Ifia didn't feel a hint of envy, only admiration. Indeed, she is Ifia's Amelia, incredibly amazing! Not only beautiful, clever, and formidable, but also highly profitable! Who wouldn't like such an Amelia! With that in mind, Ifia felt a rush of heat coursing through her body, making her cheeks flush and head spin, rendering her incapable of rational thought. She could only gaze longingly at Amelia, like a hungry wolf eyeing a delicious lamb. Driven by her instinctive hunger, she couldn't dare to pounce directly, despite feeling a bit dizzy from her previous failures. In the end, she could only follow behind Amelia in a daze as they left the auction venue. Fortunately, the cold wind of Kames helped clear Ifia's mind a little. Although her steps were obedient, her mind was chaotic, thinking and shaking. With the auction being a great success now, they should celebrate. It would be nice to have some wine... Just get Amelia drunk and do whatever she wanted! In her inebriated state, Ifia apparently had not realized her own capacity for alcohol, confidently formulating bold plans. Indulging in wine-induced folly wouldn't be a bad idea. The thought in brackets indicates the character's inner monologue. With that in mind, when Amelia and Ifia returned to their residence, even before Ifia could suggest celebrating, Fuerman, the captain of the guards who had left the auction early, suddenly appeared. Accompanied by a group of guards, Fuerman brought in covered plates that were still emitting steam and laid them silently on the table, their movements as light as a ghost. Leaving behind only a table filled with delicious food, there was unfortunately no sign of the wine Ifia had hoped for, but that didn't faze her. "Amelia, I'll go get something," Ifia said. Having stayed in this house for a few days, Ifia had some knowledge of the layout. As she excitedly ascended the stairs to the second floor, she soon found herself in a room with a huge wine cabinet. A variety of wines lined the entire wall, and Ifia, standing before the wine cabinet, wore a look of satisfaction on her cute little face. She then carefully selected a few bottles of wine as her 'lucky wine.' She murmured to herself, "Little darlings, I'll be counting on you this time. Please make my plan a success! Since arriving in this world, Ifia, as a commoner, had never come into contact with alcohol, nor did she deliberately seek fine wines even after she could afford them. She did, however, acquire quite a few cooking wines and similar items suitable for cooking. The only time she had gotten drunk was on the way to Tarek, and that was when she played Truth or Dare. Naturally, Ifia didn't pay much attention to the wine bottles; besides, it didn't taste like much anyway, just that it wasn't spicy. So this time, she would just pick randomly, choosing based on the bottle's appearance! During her selection, Ifia's penchant for charming designs burst forth, and she quickly chose three bottles. As she came out of the room with a satisfied and eager look on her face, ready to hurry downstairs, something suddenly occurred to her and slowed her down. With three bottles of wine in her arms, Ifia proceeded down the stairs and looked towards the dining room. There, she saw Amelia, who had changed into a different outfit, sitting gracefully at the dining table. Not minding the cold, her black dress outlined her curvaceous body. Her long silver hair fell around her, accentuating her rosy lips, tempting to leave a mark from a bite. Especially attractive were her purple eyes, resembling the most beautiful amethyst. Heh~ At first glance, Amelia was flawless, not a single blemish, not even a strand of hair seemed to be out of place, as though everything was sparkling! This made Ifia subconsciously want to wipe her mouth, but remembering the three bottles of wine in her arms, she could only lick her lips and confidently hasten to the bottom of the stairs! This time, she would not rest until she got Amelia drunk!
