A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 98

[Vol. 3] Chapter 98: She Wants to Give it a Try

 

The function of the merfolk treasure, the Tears of Truth, simply delighted Ifia. After all, who doesn’t have a dream of possessing telepathy?

 

Being able to easily listen to others’ thoughts… Especially for a gossip lover like Ifia, it’s like a tailor-made treasure for her!

 

Originally just wanting a self-luminous little light bulb, it has now become a must-have item for Ifia, who continued to look up at Amelia expectantly, sticking to her like glue.

 

“Amelia, dear Amelia, I really want it~”

 

Like a cat showing its belly for a rub, Ifia reached out and hugged Amelia’s waist, starting to act spoiled. The koala-like hug caused Amelia’s soft black nightgown to become wrinkled, the neckline kept slipping down, revealing dazzlingly white and sexy curves.

 

As if unable to bear the gravity any longer, it would fall to the ground the next second.

 

While being ‘harassed’ by Ifia, Amelia didn’t forget to lift one hand to support her, preventing this little one from falling, gently lifting her upwards with a slight effort.

 

When the two faced each other, Amelia smiled gently and helplessly with her purple eyes, and raised her other hand to squeeze Ifia’s nose.

 

“You, always acting spoiled.”

 

Now in the midst of negotiations, revealing preferences so quickly could be disadvantageous. However, considering Ifia’s kindness, it’s hard to say this wasn’t intentional on her part.

 

Wanting to rescue the trapped mermaid.

 

As a demon, Amelia should have scoffed at this useless kindness, but when the person in question was Ifia, Amelia’s thoughts changed with double standards.

 

Who could blame the adorable Ifia?

 

Whether kind or evil, as long as she’s protecting her. Amelia held onto Ifia without letting go, the gentle expression on her face still present. When she looked at the mermaid Desalo again, the gentle appearance frightened the poor mermaid, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

 

Clutching the shell tightly, fearing this demon would kill and plunder. After all, demons do as they please, unbound. This is also reflected in their transactions.

 

As long as the demon is willing, they can kill the other party at any time, ignoring the rules… Therefore, among the special creatures, demons are the most dangerous!

 

But because of the demon’s powerful abilities, it is inevitable to avoid dealing with them. It all comes down to luck. Desalo is now in the same situation, taking a gamble. If she loses, it’s death. If she wins, she can save her partner, Silia!

 

Thinking of Silia injected endless courage into Desalo, making her more determined in her heart, unwilling to retreat even in the face of a high-level demon, no matter how fearful she may be.

 

Amelia, however, did not pay too much attention to this mermaid with a lot of internal drama. After all, she was a law-abiding citizen in front of Ifia. Since she had already promised Ifia, Amelia naturally wouldn’t let her down.

 

“Tomorrow at noon, I will leave the fate of the Xero fleet to you,” Amelia said, waving her hand towards Desalo, signaling her to leave quickly.

 

Presently, Amelia only wanted to be alone with Ifia, not with an annoying fish watching from the sidelines.

 

In response, the mermaid Desalo showed insight, feeling pleased with the successful transaction. It glanced at the ship gratefully, then didn’t linger any longer, diving directly into the water and disappearing.

 

The sea surface returned to calm, still shimmering under the moonlight, resembling the Milky Way falling into the water.

 

As Ifia was embraced in Amelia’s arms, she suddenly felt shy. She raised her hand to hook Amelia’s neck, drawing closer to her intimately.

 

With their proximity, the sweet fragrance unique to Amelia permeated the air, causing Ifia to inhale deeply and become intoxicated by it.

 

Amelia’s scent was so fragrant!

 

It made one have an impulse to devour her~

 

“Amelia, why wait until noon? Just let Desalo retaliate directly,” Ifia quickly spoke up to avoid getting carried away and reaching out to Amelia with demonic claws, attempting to shift the conversation and divert her attention.

 

Amelia chuckled lightly, seeming to know what was on Ifia’s mind, causing her cheeks to flush. Just as Ifia was about to glare at her, Amelia didn’t continue teasing her but instead raised an eyebrow and asked first, “Don’t you want the Xero Blood Diamond?”

 

“?!?”

 

Upon hearing Amelia’s words, Ifia forgot her anger and embarrassment, her eyes widening in shock.

 

Oh, this!

 

Was that what she was thinking?

 

Ifia hesitated slightly and asked, “Is it possible to have both fish and bear’s paw?”

 

“Mhmm.”

 

Well then.

 

It’s really going to be a case of the pot calling the kettle black~

 

Following Amelia’s suggestion, it seemed she wanted to first plunder the Xero fleet, then hand the people over to the mermaid Desalo, in exchange for the mermaid’s treasure, the “Tears of Truth.”

 

Making money in two ways at once!

 

Ah, hehe~

 

Indeed, she’s her Amelia.

 

That’s clever!

 

Regarding the Xero fleet’s shady dealings, if this were before encountering Desalo, it would be ruthless plundering, but now it’s seen as righteous!

 

They’re just taking a little reward for themselves. After all, even in the pursuit of justice, a little reward serves as motivation~

 

Ifia’s rich inner thoughts were all displayed on her face, relieving Amelia, who had been silently observing, knowing that the little one didn’t dislike her because of it.

 

Amelia understood Ifia’s personality quite well. As long as she didn’t harm the innocent… then she wouldn’t develop any aversion. On the contrary, she would eagerly lend a hand in teaching the bad people a lesson.

 

So cute.

 

Not feeling like she was the “bad” one, Amelia whispered to Ifia’s ear, “Although the Xero Blood Diamond is not as good as the eyes of a demon, someday, I will show you something even more beautiful.”

 

Her gentle voice carried a hint of tenderness, causing Ifia, who hadn’t yet recovered from the windfall of making a fortune through shady deals, to feel a tingling sensation in her ears and her strength momentarily drained away.

 

She leaned against Amelia’s body, blushing slightly, and looked up at the starry sky.

 

The countless stars in the night sky seemed to wink at her, reminding her that her heart was pounding like a deer, about to be exposed if it didn’t calm down!

 

However, it was dark and windy, so there shouldn’t be any worries.

 

Ifia couldn’t help but smile, her black eyes shining brighter than the stars themselves!

 

…………………………………………

 

“!!!”

 

The consequence of running around and not sleeping at night is waking up late the next day.

 

Ifia woke up groggily from her sleep, her long hair in disarray. Because she was thinking about seeing the mermaid last night, she quickly woke up in just a few seconds.

 

Looking at the sky outside, Ifia had a bad feeling.

 

[System, what time is it now?]

[Host, it’s already eleven thirty. It’s time for lunch.]

 

Ifia’s bad feeling came true. She hurriedly got dressed and took a restless shower. After finishing up, she hurriedly left the room.

 

Ifia remembered that Amelia promised Desalo to come back at noon! What a sleep-in mess!

 

Ifia was frustrated. If she had known, she would have set an alarm before going to bed last night. Anyway, the system provides wake-up services, so she won’t miss out on any excitement!

 

“Ifia, why are you just arriving? Look, it’s a mermaid!”

 

After that, Ifia didn’t have to worry about where to go to watch the excitement. Soon, she saw a group of people gathered around the bow deck, including her friend Jessica, who was dragging Austin, eagerly watching.

 

Immediately, Jessica keenly noticed Ifia’s arrival and quickly waved to her. As Ifia jogged over, she happened to witness the mermaid Desalo attacking the Xero fleet. With one claw strike, Desalo immediately tore through the ship’s hull.

 

That claw mark seemed familiar!

 

Upon closer inspection, the case was immediately solved.

 

It was the bear claw mark Ifia had seen on the Xero wreck before…

 

Just by looking at the beautiful and delicate appearance of the mermaids, one couldn’t imagine their incredibly high attack power!

 

Desalo’s beautiful hands had now transformed into sharp claws. With a gentle touch, they dug a large chunk out of the ship, allowing water to rapidly fill it.

 

The ship sank at a visible speed, and the Xero on board began to panic.

 

“Ah, it’s a sea monster, save us!”

 

“Don’t kill me!”

 

“I don’t want to die, it’s all the captain’s orders, nothing to do with me!”

 

The Xero fleet erupted in screams of horror, but they were unable to stop the ship from sinking further.

 

The nearby Sith Empire fleet remained silent observers. Apart from Captain Kosev and his crew, others could only speculate that the Barlen family had made a deal with the Xero fleet, without knowing the details.

 

However, even if they knew the terms of the deal, facing the brutal mermaids, it’s unlikely anyone would dare to accuse the Barlen family of not fulfilling their end of the bargain. After all, when comparing the lives of others to their own, the weight of the decision was clear.

 

Especially since most of the emissaries on this new route were privileged nobles who cherished their own lives, they were now just standing on the deck watching, rather than actively participating in the rescue.

 

As for the parties involved in the transaction? Amelia Barlen was in the captain’s cabin, monitoring the situation, while the captain of the Xero fleet, Checola, was controlled by magic, standing stiff as a puppet, waiting to face the wrath of the mermaids.

 

Amelia paid no attention to the grievances between the mermaids and the Xero fleet. After all, she had already obtained what she wanted. Sensing that Ifia had awakened, Amelia did not stay in the captain’s cabin. She rose from her seat, tall and imposing, giving off a strong sense of pressure.

 

Captain Kosev, who had been sitting beside her, hesitated when he saw Amelia about to leave, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent. Although he felt some pity for the Xero fleet being attacked and wiped out, it was their own fault. After all, they had provoked the mermaids.

 

“It serves them right,” Captain Kosev sighed, then immediately commanded the crew to work, hoping they wouldn’t encounter any more accidents and praying that they would safely return to the Sith Empire.

 

On the other side, after leaving the captain’s cabin, Amelia accurately found Ifia. At that moment, Ifia was standing in the crowd, eagerly tiptoeing forward, marveling at the mermaid Desalo’s display of power as she single-handedly overturned the entire ship.

 

Due to the severe damage to the hull, the Xero ship sank rapidly. Soon, only the mast remained on the surface of the sea, rapidly shrinking. After a moment, there was no trace left, completely disappearing into the depths of the sea.

 

Desalo submerged with the sinking ship, and a few seconds later, the once clean and clear sea surface turned red. A large amount of blood dyed the area red, indicating the brutality of the scene underwater.

 

As Ifia watched, she awkwardly touched her nose, feeling that she couldn’t judge people by their appearance anymore.

 

When she first saw Desalo, she had thought the mermaid was timid and weak. She even thought about speaking softly to avoid frightening her away. But now, it seemed that she, as a human, was the weakest one!

 

At this moment, looking at the mermaid, she felt like Lin Daiyu pulling down the weeping willows…

 

While Ifia was lamenting, Amelia walked up behind her, and the nobles who had been watching eagerly cleared a space around them, retreating respectfully to the side.

 

As Amelia approached closer, the oppressive aura emanating from Amelia Barlen became even heavier, making people reluctant to get too close. Upon seeing Amelia, Austin directly pulled Jessie, who was unwilling to leave, aside.

 

The originally crowded space suddenly became spacious, but Ifia’s attention was still focused on the opposite side. It wasn’t until Amelia got closer and whispered in Ifia’s ear, “Scared?”

 

Suddenly hearing Amelia’s voice, Ifia was surprised for a moment, then couldn’t help but sigh quietly and nod, not afraid of Amelia mocking her as she said, “I used to think Desalo was so weak!!!”

 

Thinking back to Desalo tearing through the wooden planks with a single claw, Ifia gained a better understanding of supernatural beings. It’s true that the more colorful the mushroom, the more poisonous it is.

 

“Well, for safety, we should stay away from those things in the future.”

 

Listening to Ifia’s lament, a glint of amusement flashed in Amelia’s purple eyes.

 

She immediately followed Ifia’s lead and nodded in agreement, exerting a bit more force. This made Amelia’s mood even better, and she smiled, taking out a mahogany box and handing it to Ifia.

 

“What’s this?”

 

Looking at the mahogany box, Ifia had a guess in her mind, and she looked up at Amelia in surprise.

 

Does Desalo trust them so much?

 

To think she brought out the merfolk treasure in advance!

 

“The Sapphire ‘Tears of Truth’, I had it embedded in a pocket watch for easy carrying.”

 

“Wow!”

 

Confirming it was indeed what she had hoped for, Ifia exclaimed with a delighted whisper, happily receiving the mahogany box.

 

Amelia always knows how to consider things for her!

 

How wonderful!

 

However, Ifia didn’t rush to open the box. Instead, she suddenly remembered something important. “Amelia, what about the Xero Blood Diamonds?”

 

“Don’t worry, I got them early this morning.”

 

Upon hearing the satisfactory answer, Ifia finally felt relieved. It’s better not to take any risks!

 

Then, Ifia opened the mahogany box and saw a silver ladies’ pocket watch lying quietly inside, intricately carved with fine and complex patterns, inset with tiny diamonds that sparkled in the sunlight.

 

When she gently opened the lid, she saw the ‘Tears of Truth’ embedded in the center, surrounded by numbers representing time, with the hands slowly moving.

 

It’s so beautiful!

 

However, how can it be used to perform mind reading?

 

Carefully holding the pocket watch in her hand, just as she was wondering, she suddenly felt the pocket watch heat up, and the surrounding sounds disappeared instantly.

 

Later, Ifia glanced sideways at Jessica not far away, suddenly hearing a gloomy voice.

 

(Annoying Austin, she dragged me away again. I wanted to tell Ifia some gossip about the Xero Kingdom. Oh well, I didn’t expect the Xero fleet to sink just like that. I wonder if there are any Xero Blood Diamonds on board? It would be such a pity if they fell to the seabed!)

 

Given the distance between them, Ifia was sure that even if her ears were sensitive, she couldn’t possibly hear so clearly!

 

So, as long as she held the ‘Tears of Truth’ and looked at someone while thinking about mind reading, could it officially activate?

 

To confirm, Ifia averted her gaze and chose the next subject.

 

She looked at Austin standing next to Jessica.

 

(Fortunately, the Xero fleet was attacked and sunk by the mermaids. Otherwise, dealing with the trade between the two fleets later would be exhausting just to think about. It’s better not to sympathize with Miss Barlen easily in the future. Instead, sympathize with oneself when there’s time!)

 

?

 

Curiously watching Austin, Ifia wondered why Austin sympathized with Amelia?

 

Eavesdropping on others’ thoughts is quite interesting~

 

So, Amelia’s inner thoughts…

 

Hehehe~

She’s going to give it a try~
