Chapter 36 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess
Chapter 36 The Rich Lady, Please Spare Me 50 Gold Coins, v Medene seemed to have turned into a vampire that would burn at the touch of sunlight, suddenly screaming and trembling, swiftly retreating to the farthest corner away from Ifia. She curled up into a ball. Even behind the cover of her cloak, the fear emanating from her could be felt. What was going on? Ifia stood there, utterly bewildered. She had been ready to bravely face death! Damn it, after finally being a hero, this was the result? What was Medene up to, really?  ̄へ ̄ "Wuwu, Ifia, are you okay? It's all my fault, wuwuwu, if only you..." While Ifia was at a loss, Jessina finally regained control of her body. However, she couldn’t stand any longer and collapsed in weakness. Her tears flowed uncontrollably like a flood, disregarding the elegance she once possessed; now, the noble girl looked disheveled, sitting on the ground, the feather fan in her hand thrown aside. She seemed to want to cry herself to death immediately, as if Ifia had encountered an unfortunate event while protecting her. Ifia sighed silently, comforting Jessina with a pat on the shoulder. Although she couldn’t fathom how she, who was terrified of death, had acted so bravely just now, standing in front of others, ready to face death first, she couldn’t bear to see Jessina in danger. After all, despite her playful and willful nature, Jessina was not a bad person, but rather a sincere noble who pursued fairness. When the exam results were announced, Jessina had bravely condemned George. Now, she was standing in front. However, if Jessina were replaced by the girls from the protagonist’s team, Ifia would have left without hesitation! "Jessina, I'm really fine; look, I can run and jump now." "But if not for me, you could have run away just now. Oh, wuwuwu, I've distracted you. I’m such a bad girl, wuwu…" "Alright, if you feel guilty, then pay me money! The rich lady, please spare me 50 gold coins~" Even though Ifia sometimes didn’t understand what she was saying, seeing Ifia in good spirits, Jessina slowly stopped crying, though her sobbing turned into little hiccups, making Jessina look pitiful yet comical. Ifia was relieved, as she truly couldn’t handle a woman's tears. Thinking back to crying in Amelia's arms not long ago, Ifia now felt utterly embarrassed and regretful; she might as well have been living in a Barbie dream castle. A dark history, an absolute dark history! Fortunately, there were only her and Amelia present at the time... After consoling everyone, Ifia immediately turned her gaze to the corner where Medene had retreated, eager to understand what had just happened and why Medene had suddenly stopped. But before that, she needed to communicate with the system. [System, what happened to Medene? Why didn't you tell the truth just now, and mentioned something about fraud? Do you know I almost died!] [System, if you have the guts to lie, come out! Don't hide and keep silent. I know you're there!] However, the system once again used the skill of "ignoring a sleeping person" and disappeared without a trace. After feeling upset for a while, when Ifia saw the system acting like a hiding tortoise, she knew the system would not communicate. "Ah, I was wrong, please forgive me!" While Ifia secretly complained about the utterly unreliable system, Medene, who had regained her composure, suddenly screamed. Her body, huddled in the corner, waved her arms as if she were having a mental breakdown. Suddenly, as if stuck, Medene froze again. Ifia and Jessina couldn’t help but glance at each other, both deeply puzzled. After experiencing all this, Jessina, who was particularly interested in divination, vowed never to come again! One experience and it almost cost their lives! "Hey, Medene, what's wrong with you?" Bravely, Ifia took a few steps forward, found a mysterious object from the peculiarly piled items nearby, and poked Medene with it. After poking her a few times, Medene suddenly grabbed the stick. Ifia couldn’t tell if it was her misconception, but she felt that Medene's hands emitted black energy... When she focused again, all she saw was a pair of hands wearing black gloves, nothing more. "Please spare my life, it's my mistake not to recognize Mount Tai!" Medene made the most terrifying gestures while uttering the most cowardly words, gripping the stick tightly and then kneeling on the ground without warning, dispelling the previous atmosphere of fear instantly. Ifia was completely dumbfounded. "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong…" Medene begged bitterly, but before she could finish her words, her body stiffened again. Subsequently, as if having an epileptic fit, her body shook uncontrollably with the stick. Ifia couldn’t react immediately and was shaken along with her. Damn it, what on earth was happening! Then, Ifia came to her senses and quickly let go, then unconsciously stepped back several paces. As she retreated, she accidentally stepped on something and fell backward... She wasn’t scared to death by Medene, only to be killed by a fall? This was utterly unjustified!!! Jessina was at a distance making it impossible to react in fear, so Ifia closed her eyes, preparing to wait for the impending pain of the fall. However, after a while, there was no pain. Instead, someone embraced her from behind. Confused, Ifia opened her eyes, then stared in shock. "Ah, ah, Miss Barren, am I not dreaming? It’s really Miss Baron!" Before Ifia could question herself if she was hallucinating, Jessina, who had been excitedly waiting for the arrival of the person, was already flushed and beaming with stars in her eyes, the image of a devoted fan meeting her idol, confirming that Amelia had indeed arrived. And she caught Ifia just in time. "Ifia, be careful." Amelia paid no attention to the fanatical state of Jessina, and as she released her hand from Ifia's waist, she whispered to her, making Ifia feel a bit embarrassed, scratching her nose and nodding repeatedly. She made a fool of herself in front of Amelia too many times!!! Seeing Ifia standing properly, Amelia turned to the soldiers behind her and then gestured, clapping her hands: "Medene is right here, arrest her!"
