A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 1

[Vol. 4] Chapter 1: Returning to the Homeland

The effectiveness of the “Tears of Truth” has already been tested.

Ifia couldn’t wait to sneak a glance. Her black obsidian-like eyes were sparkling with anticipation. However, her cute face betrayed a hint of guilt…

If Ifia were to commit a theft, she would definitely be a clumsy thief, the kind who would be apprehended on the spot before even starting.

Nevertheless, Amelia seemed oblivious, still smiling at her, her indulgent gaze showing leniency. Yet, as time passed, Ifia’s palm holding the pocket watch became slightly moist, her mind racing with thoughts of mind-reading, her eyes fixed firmly on Amelia, but everything remained as usual.

Not a whisper could be heard.

Failed?

Ifia puzzled, shifting her gaze to other nobles, then she heard countless noisy thoughts.

(The Barlen family’s strategy is ruthless, they must have pocketed all those Xero Blood Diamonds!)

(That mermaid we just saw was so beautiful, if I get the chance, I’ll catch one and keep it at home.)

(If I could get close to Amelia Barlen, I’d have a chance to win her heart and securing the Barlen family’s support, just the thought excites me.)

(But I still want to see the mermaid again.)

Listening to the thoughts of others, Ifia gently furrowed her brow, unwilling to continue listening. It was ear-splitting!

Especially that guy who fancied Amelia!

Ifia silently glanced at him, a man blending into the crowd, with a plain appearance tinged with a hint of sleaze, his eyelids swollen like an ugly goldfish. Ugly in appearance, but lofty in his thoughts. Dare to approach, and he’d be taken care of!

However, why did the “Tears of Truth” work on others but not on Amelia? What logic was this? She still wanted to eavesdrop on Amelia’s thoughts, to see if she secretly thought of her…

Thinking of this, Ifia felt increasingly frustrated. The joy of obtaining the mermaid treasure was cut in half, and the more she thought about it, the more irritated she became.

Finally, she decided to ask directly, “Amelia, why can’t I hear your thoughts?”

After numerous attempts, the “Tears of Truth” had no effect on Amelia, so Ifia stopped holding the beautiful pocket watch.

After putting it in her pocket, Ifia cheekily approached Amelia, reaching out to hold her arm and launching into a self-righteous interrogation, completely disregarding reason.

Of course, this was also another manifestation of their intimate dependence. With anyone else, Ifia wouldn’t dare to be so insolent.

Amelia also knew this was just a case of a kitten being spoiled, knowing how to act cute and roll over. So she didn’t find Ifia’s petulance unreasonable, simply raising her hand to gently stroke her silky hair, without any suspense, directly giving the answer.

“Although the mermaid treasure, the ‘Tears of Truth,’ can listen to the thoughts of others, it also has limitations. It is ineffective against some beings with strong willpower, and may even have adverse effects.”

“Adverse effects?”

Ifia looked up at Amelia in bewilderment, her cute little appearance truly endearing. Amelia’s lips curved slightly, already anticipating the outcome before giving the answer.

However, due to certain mischievous tendencies, Amelia just smiled and continued to clarify for Ifia, “For example, if you fail to read my mind, I can turn the tables and listen to your thoughts instead, with a limit of ten minutes.”

“!!!”

Upon hearing this unexpected response, Ifia’s eyes widened in shock. Ah, so that means Amelia heard all of her recent thoughts!!!

In an instant, she experienced a social deathly hell.

Ifia had the sensation of being caught red-handed doing something wrong…

Thankfully, it was just curiosity about whether Amelia had thoughts about her, and nothing else. If she did…

“Ahem, Ifia, the time for reversing mind-reading hasn’t passed yet.”

“……”

Before Ifia could continue her train of thought, Amelia coughed lightly twice, to avoid pushing things too far and causing the stubborn kitten’s fur to stand on end, she kindly reminded her.

This instantly made Ifia’s cheeks flush red, and she angrily shot Amelia a glance, then stopped watching the commotion and fled with her head down.

However, as she fled, she heard a “plop,” someone had fallen into the water. Ifia curiously glanced over and discovered it was that ugly goldfish guy who fancied Amelia.

Tut tut, serves him right~

Remembering she should be running away now, Ifia didn’t dare to continue watching the excitement. When she quickly returned to her room, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ifia felt like her face, which had felt as hot as a boiled egg, was gradually cooling down. Thinking about her recent actions, she suddenly collapsed onto the bed, grabbed the blanket, and covered her head, beginning to scream!

What had she done!!!

After tossing and turning for a while, Ifia decided that she would not easily use the “Tears of Truth” in the future.

The backlash was just too painful!

How would she face Amelia afterwards?

It was so embarrassing!

After the mermaid Desalo attacked the Xero fleet and sunk their ships, successfully rescuing its partner and reuniting the two loving mermaids, the deal was completed.

However, due to the possessiveness of the demon towards Ifia, Desalo ultimately decided against expressing gratitude. If it were to happen again, Desalo would likely be killed by the demon!

After that, the Sith Empire fleet sailed smoothly, as Captain Kosev wished, without any further unexpected incidents.

During this time, Ifia was only depressed for a day before quickly returning to her usual self. She was like a forgetful puppy. Her easy forgiveness made Amelia’s worries disappear, but she couldn’t help but laugh and cry as she pinched Ifia’s cheeks.

This easily appeased cutie would make her want to do even more outrageous things!

However, for Ifia, it wasn’t easy to stay mad… She was just used to lying low and taking things in stride. This small embarrassing mishap was nothing at all.

Anyway, Amelia’s timely reminder came before Ifia could think about anything else.

So, as it was just a small matter that she would forget after a nap, Ifia didn’t want to quarrel with Amelia.

When the journey of over a month ended and Ifia stepped back onto the ground from the ship, she felt a bit dazed, not expecting time to pass so quickly.

She was back in her homeland!

Returning to the Sith Empire, feeling the slightly cool temperature and the people bustling around, including commoners in linen shirts and nobles in splendid attire, Ifia felt excited to be home.

However, as Amelia spoke to the waiting butler, Heber, the system suddenly chimed in.
