Survival Guide After Accidentally Kissing a Demon - Chapter 307

Chapter 307

After buying food reserves, they still had to buy clothes.

Although they only needed a few cold-resistant magic cloaks and did not have to dress as thickly and clumsily as snowmen, Beili still bought two sets of heavy clothing to keep on hand in case of emergencies, such as the magic suddenly failing.

Oh, and boots that could keep out both cold and dampness. Those had to be bought as well.

While buying clothes, Beili received another communication from Duchess Constance.

“Luoluo, what did you ask Doctor Cassius to make for you?”

Duchess Constance’s voice came from the communication orb, carrying a trace of curiosity.

“Doctor Cassius said he has already finished it, but he can’t find you.”

Then her tone turned helpless.

“It’s not that Mother wants to nag you, Luoluo, but you and Doctor Cassius are already quite familiar. Why didn’t you even leave him a way to contact you… Don’t tell Mother that the only contact in your communication orb is Mother’s.”

Oh.

Beili fell silent.

In the middle of her silence, Duchess Constance let out a long “oh,” her tone dropping lower and lower, almost all the way to the ground.

“That truly does not conform to the etiquette of noble society. You should know, when Mother was your age, my communication orb had the contact information of hundreds of noble men…”

The woman could not help grumbling.

“I’m in Valnie Snow Town on the border of the Northern Domain-”

Beili had no choice but to interrupt the woman’s rising emotion and said,

“Holy Island Academy has a Teleportation Array that reaches here. Please help me tell Doctor Cassius that I will wait for him outside the Teleportation Array in Valnie Snow Town.”

“All right, I understand. Mother will tell him now.”

The woman’s muttering voice came from the other end of the communication orb.

“Doctor Cassius heard from Mother that you planned to go north, and he was rather worried.”

…

The carriage waited for a while by the road outside the Teleportation Array.

Beili looked through the carriage window at the people coming and going until her eyes were nearly dazzled. At last, she saw a familiar white figure slowly walk out.

Beili opened the carriage door, stepped down, walked over, and exchanged greetings with Doctor Cassius.

Doctor Cassius glanced at the red-haired, black-eyed boy behind the girl.

He did not ask why she was going to the Far North.

Nor did he ask what she was going there to do.

He did not even ask how long she would be gone this time.

The blond, green-eyed man merely lowered his eyes and looked at her gently. Then he took a wooden Amber Ring from his Emerald Space Ring.

“The Spatial Ring you asked for is here, Miss Bartholomew. I have finished making it.”

…

The coachman flicked the reins, and the carriage began to move.

Beili leaned out through the carriage window.

People came and went along the road outside the Teleportation Array. She saw that slender white figure still standing quietly in place, still watching the carriage move farther away.

Beili raised her hand and waved to Doctor Cassius, signaling that he could go back.

She did not know whether he saw it.

Only after standing there for quite a while did that figure slowly turn away.

For some reason, Beili felt that Doctor Cassius had come to say farewell to her.

Although he had not said a single word of farewell, Beili sensed that meaning in those emerald eyes, tranquil as a lake.
Perhaps he had sensed that something was about to happen.

He would honor his agreement with that person and no longer interfere in her affairs.

Perhaps he was going to lie back down in his coffin and sleep again.

The next time they met might be…

Beili did not know.

She blinked her red eyes, a trace of confusion drifting through the depths of those wine-red pupils.

She drew her head back in and happened to meet the boy’s black eyes, which had turned dark and cold.

Beili paused, then opened her palm and showed him the wooden Amber Ring in her hand.

She explained,

“This is why I asked Doctor Cassius for help. It is a ring that contains a Secret Realm Space, used to…”

At this point, Beili stopped. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to continue.

Because the Spatial Ring was a magical item meant to hold Ashera’s true body after he Beast Transformed.

Mentioning this would make him think of why he had fallen asleep.

Besides, the boy had already turned his head aside, seemingly unwilling to hear any more explanation from her.

Beili glanced at the boy and opened the hidden compartment inside the carriage.

The hidden compartment had originally been used to store blankets. Now a Black Lamb was curled up inside.

Beili put the Amber Ring on the ring finger of her left hand, then infused some Mana into it.

She saw the Secret Realm Space inside the ring.

It was about the size of a house.

Inside the space, it was night.

A soft, fluffy lawn covered the ground.

The sky was hung with twinkling stars, which dragged silver threads like meteors as they kept sliding down and disappearing.

Beili picked up the curled-up Black Lamb and placed it into the Secret Realm Space.

…

The wheels rolled with a creaking sound, pressing the snow on the ground firm and leaving overlapping tracks behind.

After leaving Valnie Snow Town, the carriage traveled north for quite a distance.

“All right, stop here-”

The girl in the carriage suddenly called for it to stop. Then the carriage door opened, and before the coachman could lower the step stool, the two of them had already jumped down.

Both of them had put on black cold-weather cloaks.

The coachman looked in confusion at Miss Bartholomew, then at the young noble boy beside her, and then at the vast, endless white snowfield before them. Worried, he reminded her,

“Any farther north is uninhabited land, miss. I hear blizzards rage there all year round, and there is no trace of people at all. Miss Bartholomew…”

Beili nodded slightly to show that she knew. Then she lightly waved her hand and said in a commanding tone,

“You may leave now.”

“Then when should I come to pick you up?” the coachman asked hesitantly.

Beili thought for a moment.

“In a month.”

The coachman opened his mouth, as if he still wanted to say something, but Miss Bartholomew had always acted this way, and it was not his place to interrupt.

The coachman nodded, raised his whip, and drove the carriage away.

…

The bitterly cold Northern Domain lay behind them. Farther north was the uninhabited region where blizzards gathered, the Far North where even the wind seemed to carry blades.

In such an environment, Ashera’s “black coffin” carriage seemed extremely suitable.

The cold wind howled, leaving sharp whistling sounds by their ears without pause.

Snowflakes filled the sky, swept up by the gale, and heaven and earth seemed to merge into one.

They became a blank sheet of paper untouched by ink.
