Survival Guide After Accidentally Kissing a Demon - Chapter 306

Chapter 306

The carriage traveled through the night.

It was roughly the afternoon of the next day when Beili and Ashera finally arrived at the Town on the border between the two kingdoms.

The people who had delivered the wastewater included not only uniformed staff from the Magic Bank, but also several lavishly dressed individuals who were clearly members of the Tilisha Royal Family.

When they saw that only a gray-haired, red-eyed girl stepped down from the carriage, they looked somewhat puzzled.

“Miss, did Prince Lance not come?”

One of them stepped forward and asked politely.

Beili nodded. To prevent Ashera from clashing with the people of Tilisha, she chose to receive the wastewater alone.

“Where is it?”

She got straight to the point.

The man turned back and exchanged glances with the others before raising a hand and pointing to a uniformed Magic Bank employee.

“She will take you there.”

After that, they gathered together and went back to their discussion.

The person he had pointed to quickly stepped forward, lowered her head slightly, and said politely,

“Please follow me.”

Beili nodded and followed her to a row of warehouses. As the woman opened one of the warehouse doors, she explained,

“Inside is all the wastewater our Magic Bank has accumulated over the past year.”

Beili felt a spark of pleasant surprise.

But after following the woman into the warehouse, she discovered there were far fewer barrels of wastewater inside than she had imagined.

The wastewater Tilisha had saved over an entire year was only equal to one year’s worth from Sainthos.

Beili frowned slightly.

No-Beili was deeply disappointed.

“Is this really all of it?”

She could not help asking.

The woman had no idea what she wanted the wastewater for, so she only nodded and said,

“Miss, this is indeed all the wastewater we have accumulated over the entire year.”

Beili sighed inwardly. After sending the Magic Bank employee away, she still took out the Black Bone Scythe and let it begin absorbing.

Perhaps it was because Tilisha had the wealth left behind by the Former King from his treasure hunting to rely on.

Tilisha had almost no need to deliberately hunt dark creatures to obtain Magic Crystals, so the wastewater Tilisha sent over naturally would not be much.

A short while later,

when the Magic Bank employee opened the warehouse door again, she found that there was no one inside.

By then, Beili had already used Beast Transformation to turn into a butterfly and flown back to the carriage to meet up with Ashera.

Looking at the girl as she changed back into human form on the seat, Ashera asked,

“How was it?”

Beili shook her head and said helplessly, “Too little.”

Not even enough to get stuck between her teeth.

Tilisha, as expected, was not a good place to collect Mana no matter how she looked at it.

As Beili thought this, she took out a map of the Western Fantasy Continent from her Spatial Bracelet.

“What are you looking for?”

the young man’s voice sounded beside her.

“A place suitable for absorbing Mana…”

Beili answered honestly in a soft voice.

Tilisha could be ignored outright.

After unfolding the map, Beili focused her gaze on the area between the Santos Kingdom and the Nauze Kingdom.

“Here.”

The young man suddenly extended a finger and pointed in another direction, one she had never considered before-

the Far North of the Northern Region.

According to Ashera, the Mana in the Far North was the richest, even richer than anywhere in the three kingdoms.

Once they settled on their destination, they immediately set off north.

The first priority, of course, was to return to Butterfly Valley and say goodbye to Madam Constance.

Because on this trip, she might be unreachable for a month, or even longer.

That was right-the Far North.

It was a place even the Communication Orb could not reach.

So she had to explain everything clearly to Madam Constance, lest that sensitive woman feel hurt and upset because she could not get in touch with her.

As it happened, traveling from Tilisha to the Northern Region would take them through Sainthos. However, Beili only returned to the valley briefly on the way to meet with Madam Constance.
After explaining her plan to head north and offering a few soothing words, she prepared to leave. She did not even spend a single night resting at Constance Castle.

Madam Constance seemed to have long since grown used to Bartholomew always wandering outside and rarely coming home.

After being coaxed into a better mood by the girl’s soft, considerate words, she personally saw her into the carriage, her eyes filled with reluctance as she bade her a lingering farewell.

Oh, of course, at Madam Constance’s request, they had switched to the Constance Family’s carriage and coachman.

Before they knew it, they had transferred through several Teleportation Arrays along the way.

At last, they left Sainthos territory and entered the Northern Region.

On the road to the Far North, they would pass through Valniesnow Town.

Beili suddenly wanted to look for a bakery in the snowy town.

A bakery.

She guessed it should be a bakery.

Following her instructions, the coachman drove the carriage through the market of the snowy town, patiently searching shop by shop.

At last, they found it.

Beili asked the coachman to buy every loaf of bread in the shop for her.

She herself stood some distance from the entrance and looked inside, where she saw a familiar figure.

She seemed to have grown plumper. Oh, no. Her belly had grown rounder.

Beili saw her sitting inside by the fire, leisurely and comfortably drinking hot tea.

There was also a tall, slender squirrel Half-beast in the shop.

When he heard the coachman’s request, the squirrel Half-beast bustled back and forth through the shop, taking the bread off the shelves and placing it into box after box.

“You seem to like that person. You’ve been staring at her ever since the carriage stopped. Did you come here just to see her?”

The young man stood beside her and asked.

“Not exactly. We’re about to enter the Far North, and food should be scarce there, so we needed to stop in this Town and replenish our supplies. I just wanted to find a shop that suited my tastes… Seeing her was only secondary, since we happened to be passing by.”

Beili explained, her gaze still resting on the shop.

“Who is she?”

The young man’s brows furrowed slightly.

“You don’t remember her?”

Back in the dungeon of Holy Island Academy, you even handed her the knife she used to kill someone.

Seeing the young man shake his head, Beili sighed inwardly.

But that was not something she could say out loud.

Beili could only shrug helplessly.

“It’s nothing. Just a friend I’m barely connected to. She took care of me when I was at my most lost.”

Beili spoke calmly, the faintest curve touching her lips.

“So seeing her live the life I hoped she would have makes me happy for her.”

The young man gave the bakery at the street corner a thoughtful glance.

Just then, the squirrel Half-beast carried over the boxes of bread one by one.

Beili paid him in gold coins, then stored all the bread inside her Spatial Bracelet.

Without looking toward the bakery again, she boarded the carriage with the young man and left.

The squirrel Half-beast returned to the shop with the gold coins, beaming as he showed them off to his wife and said,

“We can close up early and go home to rest today.”

The scent of freshly baked bread still lingered in the air. Warm yellow light fell from the ceiling, spilling over the now-empty bread racks.

Lisa gently stroked her rounded belly. Hearing that her husband wanted to slack off, she first gave him a helpless look, then tilted her head slightly and asked,

“But now that you mention it, why would anyone buy that much bread all at once? Bread tastes best when it’s fresh.”

“They were two young people from the Noble. The Noble always have their reasons, no matter what they do.”

The squirrel Half-beast waved a hand.

“Ah, well-never mind all that. Come on, let’s go buy some fresh venison. We’ll stew a delicious pot of soup today!”
