A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 78
[Vol. 4] Chapter 78: Biodiversity
The black mist swiftly condensed around Amelia, quickly revealing its true form. Various odd-shaped demons appeared, chattering with curiosity on their faces.
“Oh my, am I not mistaken? The Demon Lord herself has graced this small town. It’s truly astonishing!”
“The Demon Lord is so powerful and charming. It makes demons restless. Even having a brief encounter would be great. Please, take a look at me!”
“Don’t you all smell the detestable scent of light ahead? It’s coming from that house!”
“Is it food brought by the Lord? I wonder if we could get a taste.”
In Amelia’s eyes, this group of insignificant demons was full of nonsense, and she didn’t even bother to pay them any attention. She simply waved her hand and sent them flying.
Among them, a few demons who were shouting about eating Ifia were directly devoured by Amelia’s magical power. This brutal method immediately scared off the other demons, preventing them from recklessly approaching.
Because she knew that these demons only cared about eating, Amelia was well aware that this intimidation would only last for a while. Soon enough, the demons would return.
Therefore, she was already considering how to leave a scent on Ifia to avoid demon attacks.
Although Saint Tiffany had already taken the Holy Lotus, the residual power of light didn’t immediately dissipate. It was this lingering light that quickly alerted the demons to Ifia’s presence.
“Amelia, come inside quickly! The house is beautifully decorated!”
After a quick exploration of the first floor, Ifia stood at the doorway, waving to Amelia. Her black eyes were full of smiles, signaling Amelia not to stand there daydreaming.
Completely unaware that demons had come and gone during this time, Ifia, like most ordinary humans, couldn’t see them unless the demons wanted to be seen. However, Amelia decided to inform her.
“Ifia, I saw demons outside just now.”
“???”
As Ifia obediently entered and closed the door, she was shocked to hear this unexpected news. She quickly ran to Amelia’s side, grabbing onto Amelia’s sleeve with curiosity and a hint of fear.
Her adorable face lost its color, and her long, thick eyelashes fluttered faster. Even her breathing became a bit more rapid.
Sensing Ifia’s fear of demons, Amelia reassuringly patted her back and said, “Don’t worry, the demons here are weak. I’ve already eliminated them, turned them into ashes, and they’re gone.”
Just arrived in a strange place and encountering demons, Ifia initially thought that the next part would be a very challenging survival scenario. However, upon hearing Amelia say that she had already eliminated the demons, Ifia’s tense emotions finally returned to normal.
However…
But thinking about Amelia’s exceptionally high combat prowess, Ifia had a sense that it was to be expected. Demons were no match for Amelia at all! After learning that they were safe, curiosity quickly took over.
“Are demons really scary-looking?”
Since coming to this world, Ifia had encountered various unique creatures, but demons weren’t among them. Except for one barely demon-like dark elf, who looked grotesque due to a curse. Fortunately, after breaking the curse and returning to her original appearance, the dark elf turned out to be quite attractive.
“Among special creatures, angels, mermaids, and demons are the most outstanding in terms of appearance. So, demons are not scary at all. In fact, they are quite beautiful. Otherwise, they wouldn’t easily convince humans to make trade agreements! After all, if they looked too fierce, they would have scared away those timid folks long ago.”
Knowing that Ifia was not familiar with demons, Amelia took the opportunity to educate her and, at the same time, enhance her own impression.
Of course, Amelia’s beauty was not inferior to that of angels. However, they were not of the same type, each had its own unique features.
“I see.”
Ifia nodded in understanding.
If given the opportunity, she wanted to personally see demons and witness the biodiversity. Although for ordinary people, this might seem like wishful thinking, being with Amelia, Ifia always felt that this idea would sooner or later become a reality!
Seeing Ifia taking the information well, Amelia felt relieved.
Originally, she didn’t want to reveal this so soon. However, due to the peculiar nature of the Camus territory and the presence of many demons lurking around, coupled with the fact that they sometimes intentionally revealed themselves, there was a chance of encountering one at any moment.
Rather than being shocked on the spot, Amelia thought it was better to provide a heads-up in advance to prevent any scares.
Although Amelia could easily trap these demons in her demonic prison domain, marking them as her subordinates to prevent them from approaching Ifia, she didn’t want these weakling demons, even if they were given away for free.
Annihilating them all wouldn’t be beneficial for future plans, and Camus couldn’t afford to be without demons; otherwise, the magical plants would quickly wither. Therefore, Amelia chose to ignore them and not bother dealing with them.
“You’ve been through a lot on the way, go freshen up and rest!”
The fireplace in the house had been lit long ago, and with the temperature quickly rising, Ifia had already shed a good portion of her cumbersome clothes. The swift transition from cold to warmth also led to a rapid surge in drowsiness.
Amelia raised her hand to stroke Ifia’s hair, observing the tired but relaxed expression on her face, and knew it was time for her to rest. Ifia didn’t object and, after a long journey in the carriage, she was indeed tired.
After waking up, she was ready for action again! The second floor of the house had several rooms, all tidied up. Ifia chose a room at random and fell asleep instantly.
With a good night’s sleep, Ifia woke up when it was already bright outside. Without lingering in bed, she quickly freshened up. As she descended the stairs, Amelia guided her to the dining table and promptly pushed a sandwich and a glass of milk in front of her.
While Ifia nibbled on the sandwich like a little hamster, Amelia, who had already finished eating, took a sip of coffee and began announcing the plans for the day, searching for the magical “Misfortune Vine.”
Upon hearing the day’s schedule, Ifia’s eyes lit up. She quickly gulped down her milk, then spoke to Amelia, “Amelia, I’m ready. Let’s go!”
At this moment, in Ifia’s eyes, magical plants equaled money! Finding a magical plant meant gaining a significant amount of money. So, for her, it wasn’t just about searching. It was all about making money!
As for encountering demons or not, Amelia’s demon-slaying from yesterday brought a strong sense of security. Therefore, Ifia had already decided to be Amelia’s little sidekick and follow her everywhere.
“No hurry,” Amelia said, looking at the milk stains on Ifia’s lips and couldn’t help but smile.
She then took a napkin and gently wiped the corners of Ifia’s mouth.
The tender gesture made Ifia’s cheeks turn red, and her voice involuntarily increased, “I want to go quickly!”
Ahhh, she’s already grown up, yet she still acts like a child, especially in front of Amelia.
It’s so embarrassing!
To shift the focus, Ifia urged to depart quickly, and Amelia could only nod in agreement.
Then…
Ifia stood on the ice, looking down at the seemingly bottomless ice cave below. She then looked up at the calm Amelia, her adorable face filled with confusion.
So, to find magical plants, do they have to go down there?
