Survival Guide After Accidentally Kissing a Demon - Chapter 221

Chapter 221

Without any warning.

Ashera appeared quietly on the shore, his long, straight silver hair draping elegantly against his Black Robe.

Behind him was a sparse crowd of people passing by.

Beili’s red eyes fixed on that dark figure for a moment, and she instantly felt his golden gaze cross the shimmering Cradle River to meet hers inside the pleasure boat.

Beili would have been more than happy to wave to him-if the aura surrounding him wasn’t so eerie and gloomy.

Her back straightened instantly, her fingers clenching unconsciously as her mind raced, thinking about what to do next.

Ashera had found her. Extremely quickly.

And he was still angry.

Of course, this was the outcome she had anticipated from the beginning.

According to her original plan, Her Highness had ulterior motives; she had invited Beili onto the carriage to the royal city specifically to lure Ashera there.

Beili had simply gone along with the princess’s idea.

If Ashera found them, he could just vent all his resentment on Her Highness.

But after their brief time together, Beili suddenly realized that Princess Theresa was actually quite friendly toward her.

Not only had she accompanied her shopping, but she had also treated her to a delicious breakfast and a boat ride on the Cradle River.

She was so friendly that Beili felt bad about pinning the blame for her running away on the princess.

…

Princess Theresa noticed the girl’s complex expression as she stared at a certain spot. Following her gaze, she also discovered the youth on the shore, dressed in Black Feather Attire and wearing a Half-Mask.

“The Second Prince of Sainthos.”

Princess Theresa’s eyes brightened slightly as she remarked, “The Second Prince arrived truly quickly. I thought he wouldn’t find us until tomorrow.”

Princess Theresa hadn’t even had time to send a letter to their Inn to tip him off that his partner was with her, and that if he wanted to see her, he should come to…

The pleasure boat beneath them suddenly felt as if it had been violently struck by a massive fish, and the hull began to rock transitionally.

The boatman immediately ran to the side to check the situation. Seeing a startlingly large gash split across the hull, seawater began to surge in.

Anxious, he spoke to Princess Theresa in the Nauze Language:

“Your Highness Theresa, our boat is out of control-”

A flicker of panic crossed Princess Theresa’s eyes, but she calmly commanded, “Don’t panic. Get the Floating Equipment out for Miss Bartholomew.”

Just as the boatman was rummaging for the Floating Equipment, the ‘big fish’ beneath the boat caused more trouble, and the vessel shook violently once again.

Beili grabbed the boat’s railing to steady herself, then released a small amount of Mana to sense the creature below.

As it turned out, it was her Black Bone Scythe.

Only now, it was being controlled by Ashera.

Beili’s hand on the railing paused as she immediately sent a mental command to the Black Bone Scythe.

The general gist was-

‘You godforsaken stupid scythe! When you’re wreaking havoc under the boat, don’t you know your master is on board?!’

The commotion beneath the river vanished.

After receiving her fury, the Black Bone Scythe first conveyed a deep apology, then indicated that a more powerful force had been controlling it just now, and it had no choice but to obey.

Finally, the Black Bone Scythe expressed that after soaking in cold water all night, it wanted to return to her neck.

Looking at the gradually disintegrating boat, Beili cursed it in her heart, then ordered it to stay in the water and search for the area with the densest Mana.

By now, the river water had already flooded the deck.

Beili stood up and took a step toward Princess Theresa.

Seeing the boatman had just pulled out the Floating Equipment, she shouted, “You can use that equipment for yourself-”

While the boatman and Princess Theresa were dazed, Beili had already fished the Golden Whistle out of her Spatial Bracelet-when she had first accepted Cyril’s gift, she never imagined she would use it so frequently.

She hung the Golden Whistle around her neck and blew it.

A Teleportation Array instantly appeared beneath their feet.

Cyril wasn’t nearby, so the Teleportation Array would send them to a random location.

Whatever, she had to slip away first.

Snap.

Just as she intended to make her escape, the crisp sound of a finger snap carried across the wide river, reaching her ears clearly.

Beili instantly felt the sensation of a chain tightening.

Immediately after, she was violently pulled out of the pleasure boat by a powerful force.

Beili felt her vision blur for a moment, her mind dazed.

By the time she regained her senses, she had crashed into a cold embrace.

…

Ashera.

Beili was suddenly a bit puzzled-

Did Ashera rely on sensing her heart to confirm her location, or was it the tool on her wrist?

Or perhaps something else…

But there was definitely something that allowed him to know her exact position.

However, she pushed that thought aside for the moment, because when she slowly looked up, she saw the man in the Black Robe and silver hair, with curved Black Goat Horns on his head.

As usual, his thin, cold lips wore a faint, half-smile, and his eyes looked soft.

Except for the fact that his golden eyes, which were quietly watching her, had Crimson Vertical Pupils that had narrowed into thin slits, trembling slightly.

It was as if a door had been cracked open, revealing a surging, churning sea of blood inside.

“…”

The man didn’t even speak.

He just looked down at her in silence, staring.

Beili could almost feel that he was currently contemplating what kind of punishment he should use on her.

Furthermore, from the suffocatingly powerful aura emanating from him, it was clear-the Mages who had tried to stop him had already been absorbed.

Beili felt a bit unnerved by Ashera’s quiet gaze.

Before Ashera could decide on a punishment-

Though panicked inside, she maintained a calm facade. She pulled something out of her Spatial Bracelet and held it out in front of the man.

His golden gaze slowly shifted toward the object she held before him.

A Jar of Candy.
