Survival Guide After Accidentally Kissing a Demon - Chapter 313

Chapter 313

Beili nodded in some surprise.

Before she had time to introduce herself, this middle-aged man had already recognized where she came from.

But judging by his voice, no corresponding person came to mind.

“Forgive me, but my eyes have had some trouble recently, so I cannot see your appearance. Otherwise, I should have been able to recognize you, sir,” Beili said tactfully.

“It is perfectly normal that you do not know me, child,” the middle-aged man explained. “Perhaps this will leave you with some impression. I have a son who likes you very much. His name is Clarence.”

Only then did Beili realize that the middle-aged man she had saved was Clarence’s father.

…

From Clarence’s father, Beili learned in surprise that after flying recklessly all this way, she had actually been extremely lucky and flown to the outer region of the Far North.

Clarence’s father was the leader of a knight squad.

Not long ago, he had received an urgent decree from His Majesty the King, so he transferred an elite knight team and hurried to the uninhabited region where the blizzards of the Northern Domain gathered to search for the Second Prince.

As everyone knew, the mysterious Second Prince had never removed his mask in front of others, so no one had ever seen his true face.

Some people had only been lucky enough to see the Second Prince’s silver hair at His Highness Prince Cyril’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Day after day, they expanded the search area, but still found no trace of anyone.

Not only that, the frequent blizzards in the uninhabited region and the dark creatures that appeared from time to time had become the two greatest obstacles to the search.

In such a harsh environment, half the team had died.

His Majesty the King soon transferred another knight team to reinforce them and ordered them to expand the search area again, searching deeper into the Northern Domain.

“The knights are more willing to believe that the Second Prince has already entered a dark creature’s stomach and been completely digested. After all, there is no food here, not even a fish can be caught, and so many dark creatures exist. This place is simply a land of death.”

Clarence’s father described it this way.

After expanding the search area, they really did encounter other people, but not the Second Prince.

They were people from the Kingdom of Nauze.

“I hear the people of Nauze are searching for their prince. That is truly a strange thing. The Second Prince of Sainthos and the prince of Nauze disappeared in the same uninhabited region where the blizzards gather in the Northern Domain.”

As for how Clarence’s father had separated from the team and come here,

the man explained it this way-

That day, they had been expanding their search as usual.

They encountered an extremely violent blizzard that day, and several people had no choice but to stop their horses and rest in place, waiting for the blizzard to end.

Just then, Clarence’s father suddenly discovered a black carriage slowly driving out of the blizzard.

That dark carriage was drawn by four horses clad in black iron armor.

He had once seen the Second Prince riding in that carriage. The man was certain of it.

That was undoubtedly the Second Prince’s carriage.

The Second Prince was truly here!

In order not to miss this rare opportunity, Clarence’s father acted on impulse, immediately mounted his horse and chased after it, and thus lost his way in the blizzard.

“Fortunately, I encountered you, Miss Bartholomew. Once we return to camp, I will have that child Clarence personally escort you back to Sainthos,” the man promised.

Beili knew that whether it was the king of Sainthos or the king of Nauze, their goal was to find Ashera.

They wanted Ashera to fulfill his promise to help them escape the scythe of death.

But why would they know Ashera was in the Far North?

Ashera had even changed to Lance’s body to move around now. If anyone knew, it should be the king of Tilisha.

Judging from the man’s earlier statement that he had gone two days without eating, the time when he saw Ashera’s carriage should have been two or three days ago.

Based on this speed, Ashera should now have reached the vicinity of Valnie Snow Town.

“Although this may sound somewhat heartless, Mr. Barton, I think I have no choice but to leave. I have an urgent matter,” Beili said, standing up.

“Oh… in such a hurry?”

Clarence’s father looked at the girl’s eyes.

Clearly, he was not at ease.
Although her presence in a place like this was already extremely abnormal, the man still instinctively felt that the young girl before him was weak and needed protection.

“I have a signal flare in my Spatial Artifact. We can use it after the blizzard stops. If the Knight Order searching nearby sees it, they will come find us,” Clarence’s father explained.

Hearing this, Beili actually felt a little more relieved.

“Use it once the blizzard stops, Mr. Barton. But I have to go.”

Beili took some more food from her Spatial Bracelet and gave it to him, silently praying that he could safely reunite with the other members of the Knight Order.

Then she used Beast Transformation to turn into a butterfly, had the Morpho Butterflies carry her into the air, and continued flying in the direction from before.

…

After leaving the deserted land where the blizzard had gathered, it did not take long to fly to Valniesnow Town.

Beili stopped as soon as she arrived in the Town and called Madam Constance.

She could not see anything inside the Communication Orb, but fortunately, she had only saved Madam Constance’s contact information. So when she activated the orb, the call could only go to Madam Constance.

But Beili called no fewer than ten times, and the other side of the Communication Orb never answered.

Beili’s heart rose into her throat. She wished she could immediately fly to Constance Castle in Butterfly Valley, but since she had already reached Valniesnow Town, she decided to go to Lisa’s bakery first and confirm the situation.

She used Beast Transformation again, and carried by the Morpho Butterflies, flew to the shop on the street corner.

She landed in front of the shop and changed back into human form. She sensed that the shop’s doors and windows were shut tight, and the windows were covered with a thick layer of frost that no one had cleared away.

“Miss, are you trying to buy bread?”

Someone passing nearby seemed to have noticed her standing silently outside and asked.

Beili tilted her head slightly and sensed the person. It was an old woman.

So she followed the old woman’s lead and said, “Yes. I bought bread from this bakery last time and thought it was quite good. I wanted to buy some more before I left, but the shop is closed. If you know, please tell me their business hours.”

Beili did not know whether it was day or night, so she could only try to draw it out of her.

“Sigh… They won’t be opening again.”

At the mention of it, the old woman could not help sighing.

“Who knows who that couple offended. They were killed two days ago.”

Killed.

Beili felt her heartbeat stop for two seconds.

Then it began to pound, hard and heavy.

In her pitch-black vision, it was as though a streak of bloody crimson had splashed past.

“Is that true?”

She asked in disbelief, the end of her voice trembling despite herself.

“Everyone who hears about it says it’s a shame.”

The old woman sighed again.

“I heard the husband and wife had closed the shop and were walking home when they were killed at the corner. Both of their heads were cut off. Sigh, I used to chat with the wife often. She was a very good person, and she was carrying a child too…”

…

After leaving Valniesnow Town, Beili did not dare stop for even a moment. She did not even buy a carriage in the Town.

She chose the fastest method: flying.

She passed through one Teleportation Array after another, rushing toward Sainthos the entire way, and finally returned to the familiar Butterfly Valley.

…

Constance Castle in Butterfly Valley.

The surroundings were silent. Only the occasional sound of wind swept softly past.

Beili sensed her way through and casually grabbed a passing servant.

“Miss Bartholomew.”

The servant was startled by her sudden appearance and blurted out, “Your eyes…”

“Where is Mother?”

Beili interrupted her, asking anxiously.

“The Duchess?”

The servant answered in confusion, “Miss Bartholomew, at this hour, the Duchess has already gone to rest.”

So it was late at night.

So she had already gone to rest.

After hearing the servant’s words and knowing that Madam Constance was all right, Beili immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Miss Bartholomew, you’re back.”

The servant hesitated, then asked, “Will you be resting in your room tonight?”

Beili nodded. Hearing the hesitation in her tone, she asked casually, “Is something wrong?”
