A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 6] Chapter 8

[Vol. 6] Chapter 8: Could Be a Stepmother

“Ifia, who are they?” 

Mermaid Saina tilted her head in confusion. It had only been a little over a month since they last saw each other. 

Where had Ifia been, and why did she bring back two little kids? 

Seeing the demonic features of these two children, Saina was even more astonished. 

Demons had never appeared on this side of the forbidden land… If they did, it was only mentioned by certain creatures, like stories from legends. 

As for why there were no demons in the forbidden land? 

It was said that demons were too cunning, sly, and cruel. Once they appeared, they would disrupt the peace of the forbidden land. 

Therefore, Saina recalled the news she had heard today and felt a bad premonition in her heart. 

She shook her head to temporarily suppress the bad feeling, intending to inquire about it later. 

As for Ifia, when she heard Saina’s question, she thought for a moment. Seeing they were at a safe distance, she immediately decided to cut to the chase and resolve the situation. 

“Saina, long time no see. These are my children, Cheryl and Daryl.” 

“……”

Suddenly hearing Ifia say this, Saina’s entire fish body felt uneasy. 

She felt like she might have misheard.

How could Ifia possibly have children!!! 

She must be lying to it! 

Saina widened her eyes in disbelief, then pursed her lips. “Ifia, don’t lie to me. You don’t even like men, how could you possibly have children? And these two children don’t look anything like you. At most, they both have black hair just like you.”

“Well, these are the children I had with the female demon.” 

Ifia felt a bit down.

She also wondered why her children didn’t resemble her. The two little ones were so much like Amelia. 

However, at this moment, she ignored this issue to sever the connection. Despite the normal perception that even a female demon wouldn’t produce offspring with her… 

But who made her have this ‘brilliant’ system! 

And her two daughters were very clever. 

Seeing that something was wrong, they had already quickly returned to Ifia’s side, standing to her left and right.

With curiosity, they looked at the mermaid with identical red eyes. 

“I don’t believe it!!!”

Hearing Ifia’s words firsthand, even without any factual basis for explanation, Saina’s eyes still quickly turned red. Her heart shattered into pieces. She shook her head quickly. 

Without waiting for Ifia to continue speaking, the entire fish immediately dove into the sea, disappearing quickly amidst the shimmering ripples on the surface. 

Ifia was helpless.

Ah! She hadn’t lied to the fish.

Everything she had said was true.

“Mom, do we have another demon mom?” 

“I’m so curious!” 

And after the mermaid Saina left, two more curious little ones immediately surrounded her.

Cheryl and Daryl were so curious about Amelia, whom they had never met, that even the ocean and the beach could not hold their attention.

This gave Ifia a headache, so she could only make a few excuses.

“Hmm, but your demon mom is very busy, she needs to work and earn money, so she can’t meet you right now!” 

Her children were very well-behaved. They didn’t have the mischievous temper of brats and nodded softly at this moment. 

The small demonic horns on their heads were shimmering, and their little demonic tails swayed behind them. 

“Okay, I hope we can see our demon mom soon, so we can help her with her work.” 

“Yeah, yeah, then we’ll take our demon mom to eat delicious food and have fun when the time comes.”

Listening to the words of the two daughters, Ifia was deeply moved. It was like her dream children had come to life. 

They were too adorable! 

Meanwhile, while Ifia was moved, Cheryl and Daryl exchanged a glance. 

Beneath their cute facade was a naturally cruel heart, making their tails wag even faster. 

They hate their demon mother. 

Should they just kill her?

This way, they could have their Mom all to themselves. 

However, they couldn’t scare their Mom, so they needed to proceed stealthily… 

For this to work, they must devise a meticulous plan to ensure a swift and deadly strike. As for their demon mother being stronger than them… 

Hehe, they could set traps using their identities as children! 

Unaware that her two beloved daughters were plotting how to kill Amelia, Ifia quickly adjusted her mood and then took their little hands to play on the beach. 

Apart from picking up some fresh seafood ingredients, they also played the game of building sandcastles. 

However, Ifia was a clumsy player, and despite her focused efforts, she ended up creating odd-looking structures. 

They looked like crooked bricks piled up into tall buildings… Fortunately, Ifia was just playing for fun. Even if they looked ugly, it didn’t matter. 

But seeing the sandcastles on her children’s side, resembling textbook illustrations, made Ifia silently sigh, thinking that her daughters were really, really amazing!

Hmm, a mother always feels proud of her children.

As Ifia smiled and watched her two daughters building sandcastles, the sound of water breaking broke out again, and the mermaid Saina, who had previously fled with her head in her hands, reappeared. 

By now, she had composed herself and seemed much calmer. Swinging her fishtail in the sea, she approached Ifia. 

Then, Saina raised her hand and placed it on the nearest rock in the sea to the beach. Her crystal blue eyes blinked, revealing a hint of sadness that she couldn’t conceal. 

However, she still forced herself to speak calmly, “Ifia, even if you have children, I still like you.” 

After saying this, Saina sniffed slightly, showing some grievances. Then, as if she remembered something, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and she added, “Since you like children, Ifia, we can have a hundred or even a hundred and eighty together.” 

“……”

A hundred and eighty more!!! 

No one can have that many children. 

“I can be a stepmother and promise to treat your children well… You’ve been in the forbidden land for so long and haven’t seen that demon. It shows that demon is not reliable, unlike me. I will always cherish you and hold you in my heart.”

As the mermaid Saina spoke, a strong aura of “green tea” emanated from her. [1]

Ifia couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated. Nowadays, even fish are eager to become stepmothers. 

Unfortunately, her heart is already entirely devoted to Amelia, and she has no room to spare for anyone else. With this in mind, Ifia didn’t allow Saina to continue fantasizing but firmly interrupted, 

“Saina, thank you for liking me, but I have a special fondness for the demon mom of my children. I will never cheat on her!”

“And I believe, Saina, that a caring fish like you will definitely encounter a better partner.” 

Although Ifia wanted to add that they could be regular friends, she felt that saying such things would be too pretentious. Let’s just see how Saina takes it! 

Moreover, she couldn’t stay in the forbidden land forever, so it’s best not to give Saina false hope. 

Upon hearing this, Saina felt utterly dejected. She wanted to laugh. But she couldn’t muster a smile right now. All she could do was maintain a sad expression on her face. 

This time, instead of immediately diving into the sea to escape, she remembered the message she came back specifically to deliver and spoke despondently.

“Ifia, I need some time to heal my broken heart. Please don’t come to the beach anymore recently. It’s best to find a place to hide.”

“I heard from the sea creatures that demons have found their way to the forbidden land.”
