Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Can I Have Her? "Ifia, if it weren't for your friend's notification, I wouldn't have known about the richness of your campus life," Amelia spoke casually, her expression calm and devoid of anger. Her tone was teasing, much like their usual chats. Her beautiful purple eyes narrowed slightly, accompanied by a smirk at the corner of her mouth, making Ifia feel uneasy. Danger warnings kept sounding in her mind. Lucy and Jessina had truly put her in a fix! As Amelia appeared, Lucy and Jessina instinctively moved aside, leaving the space to the two of them. So, only Ifia faced the pressure, obediently standing like a primary school student in punishment. She didn't dare show off in front of Amelia and had to contain her smugness, guiltily explaining, "Amelia, I just didn't want you to worry. Those guys were too arrogant, and I couldn't bear to leave it unaddressed." Watching Ifia fidgeting nervously, Amelia felt a bit helpless. She liked Ifia's liveliness and couldn't have her turned into a puppet or kept in the fiendish realm. But Ifia sometimes became too lively and naive, easily falling into dangerous situations. The mark she left on Ifia only affected demons and couldn't guard against treacherous humans targeting her. "I'm really worried about you, Ifia." Hearing Amelia's sigh, Ifia felt at a loss. Then, seeing Ifia beginning to panic, Amelia continued, "If you ever encounter such a situation again, I hope I'll be the first one you inform. Ifia, I won't restrict your actions; I just want to ensure your safety." Finishing her words, Amelia took Ifia's hands, her face sincere. It seemed like she was saying, "See, we're lifelong friends, so don't be shy." But Ifia was someone who responded better to kindness than harshness. If Amelia continued to sternly reprimand her, Ifia wouldn't have felt as uneasy as she did now. But hearing Amelia worry about her made Ifia completely capitulate. She wasn't someone who stubbornly resisted. What's the harm in saying some kind words? She could! "Amelia, I'm sorry. I won't act tough in the future." "Lovely Ifia, you're wrong! I know you can handle things by yourself, but please give me a chance to show it, otherwise, as your friend, I'll be useless!" This time, Amelia's lifted lips dispelled the oppressive atmosphere. With the need for admonitions resolved, it was time to talk about other things… Then, seemingly casually, Amelia said, "Your two friends are great. Coming to the third-year area specifically to find me out of concern for your safety. Your bond is truly admirable." Speaking, her deep purple eyes focused on Ifia, detaining a ferocious beast about to break free. At this moment, Ifia felt lucky to have met Lucy and Jessina and readily nodded in agreement. The system secretly watching was itching to shake its foolish host's shoulder to raise her emotional intelligence! Is this the time to just nod? The villainess is getting mad! Next, it would first rid itself of the foolish host and then deal with her… "Lucy and Jessina are indeed great, but Amelia, you are my best friend." "Best friend?" "Yes, my only best friend. No one compares to you." However, the system's feared scenario didn't occur. Ifia's naturally spoken words clearly pleased Amelia, dissolving her anger and improving her mood. A pleasant mood led to letting go of resentment. In an instant, the rain cleared, and the sky brightened. This left the system stunned as it watched Ifia and unexpectedly sensed a natural charm that she had in addition to her foolish beauty. The most lethal charm is the invisible one. "I'm glad to be your only one, so, to thank your friends, why not invite them to my place as guests!" Hesitating at the invitation, Ifia's concerns about bothering Amelia for an exception dissipated as she felt Amelia's reassurance in the gentle squeeze of her hand. "All right, then I'll ask them." Amelia's generous invitation dispelled Ifia's hesitance, so she promptly turned to ask Lucy and Jessina for their thoughts, naturally receiving enthusiastic nods as an answer. "Lucy, pinch me. I must be dreaming! To be invited to Miss Barren's residence, oh my heavens, I've made it! wuwu, mom, I've made it!" "Jessina, you're not dreaming, because I've been invited too!" And so, with her excited two companions, Ifia boarded Amelia's carriage and arrived at the mansion. Instead of having the chef Jeff prepare dinner, Ifia decided to cook herself. After all, both Amelia and Lucy and Jessina had worried for her. There was no need to say thank you; delicious food would show her gratitude! Making their way to the mansion, the housekeeper led the maids to greet the guests. Then, they heard Jessina's frequent exclamations and Lucy's soft attempts to calm her down. When the butler brought them to the guest room, various desserts were already wheeled in. As Jessina and Lucy's eyes sparkled at the desserts, Amelia leaned in towards Ifia and whispered, "Ifia, are you going to cook personally?" "Yes." "This time, don't shoo me out of the kitchen. I want to cook with you; it'll definitely be fun." Ifia suppressed the urge to rub her ears. Every time Amelia spoke to her, her heart would unintentionally beat faster, accompanied by a tingling sensation, making her feel somewhat dazed when she spoke. "If you don't mind the smoke, then let's cook together!" With a few words, their future plans were set. As Ifia was about to speak to Jessina, who was already happily sampling the desserts, the previously withdrawn butler, Heber, suddenly appeared. He bowed to Amelia and then said, "Miss Barren, there's a guest for you. She said her name is…" Heber seemed to be in a daze, as if lost for words, and at that moment, a giggle sounded from behind him. "Oh, Barren, long time no see!" Shortly after, a woman in a black low-cut tight long dress stepped out from behind the butler. Her tightly cinched waist made her hips exaggerate, and her ample bosom seemed ready to pop out. The sexy and glamorous face bore a coquettish smile, giving off a desperate vibe. Contrasting Amelia's aloofness, this woman was like a radiant seductress. "Oh, there are kids here too, how rare." The stunning woman brightened upon seeing Ifia and the others, first laying her eyes on the prettiest Ifia's face, which she found charming! It was unexpected to have such an unexpected joy in this visit! "Taramati, don't disturb my guests. Go elsewhere to talk," Amelia snapped, intercepting Taramati before she could approach Ifia. She then apologized to Ifia and instructed her to wander if she felt bored, quickly taking Taramati away. Once they were out of the guest room, Amelia's expression dropped, and her purple eyes turned icy. She didn't pay attention to Taramati immediately. As they distanced themselves from the guest room, Taramati, an uninvited guest, showed no signs of embarrassment. Instead, she provocatively addressed Amelia with a smile, "Darling Alariman, you can't be so cold to an old friend you haven't seen in a while, can you?" "That cute girl looks so sweet; I want to taste her~" As she said this, Taramati licked her lips, her playful expression showing a sensual desire. She was eager to take the young human girl home and pamper her. "Her name is Ifia? Such a lovely name. Can I have her? Don't worry, I’ll…" As Taramati's words continued pouring out, Amelia, who was walking ahead, stopped in her tracks. She turned back, looking at Taramati, who still hadn't stopped talking. She raised a corner of her mouth and asked with a smile, "Would you say that again?" At the same time, Amelia's purple eyes quickly turned blood-red, and the fiendish realm formed from her magic opened, resonating with the wails of countless souls.
