A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 85

[Vol. 3] Chapter 85: Sneaked Another Glance

Ifia encountered dark elves twice, each time being repulsed by their ugliness. Not only were their skin dark like charcoal, with dehydrated and wrinkled skin, but their faces were also grotesque, capable of terrifying children with just one glance. Ifia dared not look for long, as it easily induced intense discomfort.

However, upon seeing Elder Sylei, Ifia’s inherent impression of dark elves was directly overturned. The Elder Sylei’s skin was not white, but it was not dark either.

It leaned towards a deeper wheat tone, with a healthy and vibrant glow. Her lush forest-green curly hair was tied up with grass ropes, accentuating her ruby-like red eyes, shining brightly.

She looked like a forest elf.

The Elder Sylei, whose appearance was vastly different from that of ordinary dark elves, was truly shocking. Ifia stared at her dumbfoundedly, and as time passed, Amelia standing beside her frowned slightly.

The demon’s possessiveness flared up.

She did not like Ifia’s gaze falling on others.

Moreover, was this Elder Sylei even attractive?

“Elder Sylei, I have come this time for the Lint Fruit. I presume you also do not wish to see casualties among your people, especially since you are on the brink of extinction!” Angered inside, Amelia’s words were sharp and straightforward, without any preamble.

Upon hearing her words, Ifia finally snapped out of her shock. Although she didn’t know why Amelia chose to threaten directly, as a member of the same group, she believed that Amelia could handle it.

Nonetheless, she was still surprised. She couldn’t believe there was such a beautiful dark elf among them!

Ifia couldn’t help but steal another glance, and the system lurking in the shadows wished it could jump out and press down on her host’s head, preventing her from casually looking around.

This was repeatedly crossing the demon’s bottom line! Was the foolish host completely oblivious? The murderous intent from the Villainess side was almost tangible now!

As the system trembled with fear from this intense murderous intent, facing Amelia, the Elder Sylei was especially affected. However, with the accumulation of thousands of years of experience, she could still endure it. But if it continued, it was uncertain. After all, those who could become demon lords were all extremely powerful, probably the only one in this world, and one was standing before her now.

Unreasonable malice was abnormal.

Having experienced much, the Elder Sylei naturally understood the demon lord’s possessiveness towards humans at a glance, which put her in a difficult position.

“To be frank, there is only one Lint Fruit left, and it will take another hundred and fifty years for a new one to appear. Therefore, the remaining one is extremely precious.”

The Elder Sylei organized her words. Even though both parties were in an unequal position and she could still resist the pressure from the demon lord, there was still room for negotiation. They wouldn’t simply give away the Lint Fruit for nothing.

While other dark elves only knew the Lint Fruit as a sacred object within their tribe, they were unaware of its specific effects. However, the Elder Sylei, who had been using the Lint Fruit, knew its function.

It could temporarily counteract the Curse of Abandonment, allowing her to maintain her current appearance without any changes. However, continuous consumption of the Lint Fruit was necessary. Once discontinued, she would become ugly. This was an outcome the Elder Sylei couldn’t accept.

With dwindling resources, there was only one Lint Fruit left in stock. The Elder Sylei had even prepared for the worst. If she became ugly, it would be better to die directly. However, the sudden arrival of the demon lord filled her with hope.

The Curse of Abandonment was a terrifying curse that the dark elves were powerless against. But for a pure demon like the demon lord, it was not an incurable disease. If the demon lord could lift the curse, then the Lint Fruit would be of little use to her.

Therefore, despite fearing the demon lord, the Elder Sylei still proposed an exchange. Seeing Amelia’s cold expression and the glint of hostility in her narrowed eyes, the Elder Sylei suppressed her anxiety, steadied her emotions, and threw out her bargaining chip.

“The Lint Fruit requires special preservation methods. Apart from me, other dark elves don’t know where it’s kept… In other words, if I die, you’ll have to wait another hundred and fifty years.”

The Elder Sylei paused for a moment before continuing, “However, this one won’t wait a hundred years.”

Seeing that the demon lord remained silent and indifferent, the Elder Sylei couldn’t gauge their thoughts, but since things had come to this point, she could only plow ahead.

“I believe you two should be aware of the curse imposed on the dark elf tribe by the Taric royal family. Now, the dark elves are suffering as a result. Their appearance has become ugly, and their bodies have undergone changes. As time passes, they gradually lose their sanity and eventually become indiscriminately aggressive. Currently, among the dark elf population, I am the only elderly one left, the rest are young dark elves.”

As the Elder Sylei spoke of the gradual decline of the dark elf population, she couldn’t help but want to sigh. She desired to change the situation but was powerless to do so. The extinction of the tribe was not far off. Even if she asked the demon lord for help, it would only save herself.

But as long as there’s life, there’s hope!

With this in mind, the Elder Sylei found renewed motivation. After laying the groundwork, she finally revealed what she wanted in exchange: “I hope you can help me lift the Curse of Abandonment.”

Upon hearing the Elder Sylei finish speaking, Amelia suddenly smirked. Her previously indifferent expression changed, but the mockery in her purple eyes was unmistakable.

Without warning, Amelia acted swiftly as if teleporting, reaching out to grab the Elder Sylei’s neck with one hand. With an overwhelming aura, the Abyssal Domain mercilessly opened up.

Thinking of threatening her? That wasn’t a wise move. For demons, plundering is inherent, not negotiating.

“Do you think death is the end? Besides, even without saying, there are other means.”

Amelia didn’t utter a word of threat. As long as she uses magic to search, she could easily find the answers. As for whether the Elder Sylei would become a fool because of it, that was irrelevant to Amelia. Except for Ifia, all other beings were useless in her eyes.

The Elder Sylei, who had underestimated the demon lord’s character, was shocked. She wanted to resist but suddenly found herself unable to attack. Her body’s magic seemed tightly constrained, unable to be activated.

Despair filled the Elder Sylei’s crimson eyes as she realized she couldn’t escape this disaster today. But even in death, she wouldn’t let the Lint Fruit fall into the demon lord’s hands, she would destroy it completely!

Since birth, the dark elf tribe has had a spirit companion. Without magic, they could communicate with each other. The Elder Sylei’s spirit companion had always guarded the Lint Fruit. At her command, the spirit companion would use its venom to destroy the Lint Fruit completely, preventing anyone from obtaining it.

Meanwhile, Ifia, standing in place, blinked as she watched the scene escalate into violence. She silently contacted the system.

[System, I’m sure I heard the words “Curse of Abandonment.” Is this the reason you gave me that potion formula?]
