A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 71

[Vol. 4] Chapter 71: Slippery Like a Thief

“Wow, Saint Tiffany, what was that just now!”

After feeling the strong light retreat, Ifia couldn’t wait to open her eyes.

She looked at Saint Tiffany with a face full of amazement.

Although the last parting gifted Ifia with a blessed halo, refreshing her worldview, seeing the radiant light emanating from Saint Tiffany’s fingertips up close made her truly understand the marvels of the current world!

This was not a deceptive magic trick.

It was genuine superpowers!!!

Even though she had encountered many extraordinary beings before, Saint Tiffany being a human added a different significance. Ifia wondered if she could learn a thing or two from her.

Setting aside everything else, being able to illuminate the night and look cool while doing it!

That was just too awesome!

“It’s just some divine power, nothing worth mentioning. Come and take a look at the Holy Lotus.”

Saint Tiffany, as gentle and approachable as always, reached out and nudged the silver goblet on the table.

Curious, Ifia took a look and found patterns suddenly appearing at the bottom of the cup.

Oh wow!

Divine power can even carve patterns?

Surprisingly, they looked quite beautiful.

However, she had initially thought it was some kind of preservation of the holy lotus as a specimen, not carving patterns…

After successfully diverting Ifia’s attention, Saint Tiffany began to chat with her.

“Ifia, after this, are you and Miss Barlen planning to return to Pulis Academy to continue your studies?”

“We won’t be going back for now because there are some matters to attend to in the Camus Territory. We need to make a trip there and will probably stay for a while before returning.”

Regarding the trip to the Camus Territory, Amelia did not insist on keeping it a secret. Ifia, therefore, didn’t hesitate to share, and continued speaking to Saint Tiffany naturally.

“Speaking of Camus, I went there once when I was spreading the faith of Light with the team.”

“!”

Upon hearing that the Saint had been to the Camus Territory, Ifia immediately shifted her attention from the patterns at the bottom of the cup. She sat up straight, eagerly looking at the Saint, ready to hear the story!

Unexpectedly, the Saint was quite active, traveling around and not just staying in the church all day!

“The climate there is cold, water freezes into ice, and you need to take warm measures when going. The locals are tough and hot-tempered, maybe quick to resort to violence, so be careful and don’t stray far from Miss Barlen.”

“But the delicate ice sculptures are beautiful, and you can even go skiing.”

“And there are some unique plants, strange and wondrous, with the ability to make people…”

Listening to Saint Tiffany’s narrative, Ifia was captivated and even more excited about the upcoming trip to the Camus Territory. Since Amelia had not been there, both of them only knew that it was very cold, along with some basic information. Now, they were getting more details from the Saint.

“There’s a plant in Camus called the ‘Misfortune Vine.’ It’s said to be a magical plant associated with demons. Once entangled, it amplifies desires in the heart, generating evil thoughts.”

“But as long as one stays true to oneself, they will maintain their rationality and not be swayed by the thoughts of the Misfortune Vine.”

Upon hearing about the magical plant, Ifia paused for a moment and then nodded.

With plants like the radiant holy lotus in this magical world, the existence of a magical plant was not surprising.

The exploration potential in this mysterious world was extremely high!

If there was a chance in the future, she could become an adventurer, discovering more secrets of the world.

Just thinking about the possibility of harmoniously coexisting with special creatures made the idea sound intriguing, provided that the special creatures had pleasant appearances rather than strange ones.

After discussing the information about the Camus Territory, the conversation with the Saint was harmonious, and Ifia was eager to probe a little further.

“Saint Tiffany, did you see Amelia today?”

Regarding the incident where the snake demon Taroumati kidnapped the Saint, Ifia was curious and couldn’t contain her itch for information.

However, directly asking about it would be too blunt and might lead to trouble. So, she chose a more indirect approach, hoping to glean information from the side.

“Of course, thanks to Miss Barlen’s intervention, otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten away so easily.”

Compared to Ifia’s cautiousness, Saint Tiffany was quite casual, seemingly not taking the snake demon Taroumati seriously. This made Ifia tilt her head in puzzlement, her small brain filled with big doubts.

Why does it feel like the Saint already knew that Taroumati is not human but a snake demon?

Seeing through what Ifia was thinking at a glance, Saint Tiffany smiled. She treated Ifia like a gentle older sister accompanying a younger sister, not wanting to reveal too much to her.

Although she and Taroumati had their own motives, in the eyes of others, it seemed like they were deviating from the norm. However, there was no need to conceal Taroumati’s identity, especially since Ifia already knew. It just required presenting the information in a more easily digestible way.

“Ifia, you saw Taroumati this morning, right? Actually, Taroumati is a demon. I thought I could bring it around and gradually influence it, but demons, as special creatures, are very dangerous.”

Saint Tiffany hinted at something, but looking at Ifia’s somewhat clueless expression, it seemed she didn’t quite understand. Nevertheless, a gentle reminder wouldn’t hurt.

“One inattentive moment and you could be consumed by demons. So, when dealing with them, you must be cautious. The most critical thing to note is the demons’ possessiveness. It’s a twisted form of love and a dangerous source that must be avoided.”

“If you ever encounter a demon and find yourself unable to resist, it’s best to gently pacify them.”

Ifia nodded repeatedly.

Then, somewhat apprehensively, she patted her chest and said to the Saint, “If I encounter demons, I promise to slip away like a thief. Even if they chase after me, I still have Amelia with me!”

Ifia smiled sweetly, feeling bolder. She then reassured the Saint, “Saint Tiffany, please rest assured. Amelia will definitely not let Taroumati escape. This demon won’t bother you again in the future.”

“I hope so.”

Unlike Ifia, Saint Tiffany wasn’t as naive. Even though the Demon Lord Ahriman had intervened, Taroumati was not an ordinary little demon. Killing it would be difficult, but inflicting severe damage was possible.

If she could sever ties with it during this opportunity, it wouldn’t be a bad outcome. After all, they were not on the same side, and separation was inevitable.

Before being abducted by Taroumati, Saint Tiffany might have hesitated. However, at this moment, her heart had hardened. While she didn’t dislike engaging in intimate activities with Taroumati, it had to be willingly and not driven by desire controlling the body.

Taroumati’s whimsical personality needed a harsh lesson to learn discipline, and it seemed that the Demon Lord Ahriman, or Amelia Barlen, was well-suited for the task.

“Knock, knock.”

“Sorry to interrupt the ladies’ conversation, but Ifia, we should set off for Camus now.”

Before Saint Tiffany could bring up the topic of demons again, Amelia’s voice suddenly and quietly sounded.

Invisible dark magic spread in the room, not doing anything to Saint Tiffany, but clearly using force as a threat.

Simultaneously, a barely alive little snake was casually thrown on the ground, leaving Saint Tiffany momentarily stunned.
