A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 1] Chapter 35

[Vol. 1] Chapter 35: It’s Better Not to Earn This Money!

Oh, this!

Is she trying to scam someone?

Or did she invite a god to possess her?

After Madame Medanie suddenly fell to the ground, the black bird that had been perched on her shoulder flapped its wings and flew around the room, making chaotic movements. The sound of the bird’s head banging against the walls was painful to hear.

At the same time, it was screaming, “Demon~ Demon~”

For a moment, the scene became chaotic, and Ifia was in shock.

However, Jessica was not frightened. On the contrary, she looked excited, with her reddish-brown eyes fixed on the fallen Madame Medanie, as if hoping she would rise immediately and demonstrate her power.

“Jessica, I find this a bit strange. Does Madame Medanie always do things like this?”

While waiting for Madame Medanie to get up, Ifia sneakily tugged at the hem of Jessica’s clothes and then approached quickly. She whispered her doubts.

If this was how dedicated the witches of the Sith Empire were to their divination, collapsing at the slightest provocation, she thought it might be better not to earn this money… Mainly because Ifia felt she didn’t have such exquisite acting skills. Perhaps, before she could ‘invoke’ the god, someone might have caught on to the trick.

However, it was also possible that Madame Medanie’s sudden illness was not an act of inviting a god to possess her.

Ifia’s inquiry disrupted the tense atmosphere at the scene. Jessica didn’t blame her and, while maintaining an excited yet forcibly serious expression on her face, whispered back:

“What do you mean by ‘do things’?”

Jessica is a pure-blooded citizen of the Sith Empire. Despite the curiosity of the empire’s nobility about the mysterious Eastern culture and their efforts to learn, some specific terms are still quite unfamiliar to them.

Except for the nobles who are particularly obsessed with Eastern culture, the rest only need to learn the vocabulary used in daily communication.

Therefore, terms like “jumping around like a deity” or “rituals” are completely incomprehensible to Jessica.

“Is this the usual process for witches to request blessings? Letting a god possess them and then bestowing blessings?”

Ifia also noticed this and chose a more easily understandable explanation.

Upon hearing this, Jessica immediately understood. However, this was her first time getting close to a witch for a blessing in the Sith Empire. In the empire, people could pray to deities in the church, but any activities related to demons were strictly prohibited. Even related books were considered taboo and forbidden.

If someone was found to be hiding books or engaging in forbidden activities, whether a noble or a commoner, they would enjoy a few days’ vacation in the imperial prison. For more serious cases, such as using life or flesh and blood as sacrifices, the imprisonment period could be indefinitely extended, and even capital punishment could be imposed.

Therefore, information about demons and similar topics was spread secretly.

Jessica didn’t understand, so she could only mention what she knew.

“I don’t really know, but I heard that witches are all quite eccentric. The process for others seeking blessings should be the same. Let’s be patient and wait!”

“I see.”

While Ifia and Jessica whispered to each other, the silently observing system was also amazed by these two.

This was clearly not an invocation of a god!

Instead, Madame Medanie was possessed by a demon.

While Madame Medanie was not a genuine witch, she possessed an extraordinary sensitivity that went beyond ordinary people. She could feel anomalies in the world, often described as having a heightened sixth sense.

However, even with this ability, she couldn’t communicate with deities because this world fundamentally lacked gods. Instead, it was inhabited by a group of demons.

These demons didn’t engage in direct slaughter, thanks to the constraints of the world’s rules and the influence of the behind-the-scenes boss, the villainess. They could only lurk in the shadows, silently observing humanity and occasionally feasting on human souls.

Of course, according to common sense, even if the world rules favored the villainess, it wouldn’t allow a single entity to dominate completely. There should be corresponding figures or items to suppress the demons.

But the system was clueless!

It only received information about the original plot from the book and occasionally gathered some peripheral details. The real core information was hidden too well, making it impossible for the system to pry.

Now, with its host enjoying staying close to the villainess, the system dared not make a sound, fearing it might be discovered by the villainess.

Sigh!

Why was it so unlucky to end up in this world?

While the system lamented its fate, Madame Medanie, who had fallen to the ground, began to move. Her body trembled irregularly, making creaking sounds like a rusty machine. The eerie noise sent shivers down anyone’s spine who heard it.

Ifia watched Madame Medanie in this state, and she felt that Madame Medanie wasn’t invoking a god; instead, it seemed like she was possessed by a demon.

If this was a performance, it seemed to have gone too far!

[System, is Madame Medanie really invoking a god?]

[The system recommends the host to leave immediately to prevent being deceived for money.]

The system knew Ifia’s temperament well. In the current urgent situation, if it directly told her that Madame Medanie was possessed by a demon, she would definitely not believe it and would question the system, thinking it was just playing tricks on her.

Much like a skeptic.

However, when it came to money, things became simpler.

Ifia would never allow anyone to deceive her even for a single copper coin.

In fact, it was true.

Originally intending to observe how the situation would develop, Ifia immediately decided to leave upon hearing the system’s advice.

If it weren’t for the windows being blocked, she would have wanted to jump out of the window and run away.

“Ifia, isn’t it a bit strange now?”

Not only did Ifia feel uneasy, but after the excitement faded from Jessica, she became timid again. Now, watching Madame Medanie lying on the ground, reaching out into the air continuously, with her hands and feet twisted in an abnormal arc, and the occasional howling, it all seemed quite unsettling.

“I also find it strange. Let’s get out of here quickly!”

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[The host is advised to leave immediately!]

Just as Ifia was speaking to Jessica, the system’s warning immediately sounded.

The piercing sound was annoying to listen to.

However, if the system was this vigilant, it must be very dangerous!

“Hurry, leave quickly, Jess…”

“Hehe, look at this, which tasty little thing has walked into the trap~”

However, Ifia’s words came too late. Medanie’s original melodious voice changed, becoming hoarse and rough, as if a man’s voice.

At the same time, her posture on the ground changed, and her entire body stood up in slow motion, frame by frame, like an old film.

Medanie was hidden in her cloak, and her face couldn’t be seen, but that didn’t hinder her movements.

She stretched out her arms, tilted her head back, and let out a sinister laugh.

Then, she turned to look at Jessica, and an unpleasant voice, as if someone was being strangled, spoke, “I love the clean souls of young girls the most. The taste is incredibly sweet. Once you take a bite, you won’t be able to forget it!”

While speaking, Medanie took a few steps forward, trying to reach out and touch Jessica.

This bizarre movement left Jessica stunned in place. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t move her body, and the fear made her shed tears, blurring her vision.

“Hey, don’t discriminate, am I not a young girl?”

Just at that moment, Ifia’s voice sounded, and the next moment, she pulled Jessica behind her.

She stood in front of Jessica, even though she was afraid inside, but she didn’t let it show on her face. Looking at this strange situation, the system definitely didn’t tell the truth.

Anyway, no matter what, she wasn’t going to die without a fight!

“Hehe, don’t be in a hurry. Both of you… Ah, ahhhh!!!”

However, just as Ifia was ready for the worst, Medanie suddenly screamed in agony.
