Survival Guide After Accidentally Kissing a Demon - Chapter 57

Ranked sixth is the female student from Sainthos, Paji. When she transforms, she becomes a savannah cat with astonishing speed.

Her crimson eyes narrowed sharply.

Beili lowered her voice and uttered a single word-“Stop.” She reached out and snatched the ladybug fluttering before her, then spun around and swiftly transformed into a Butterfly, soaring above the “green hedge” wall.

The Butterfly, with shimmering blue-green wings, had just taken to the air when the gray-striped savannah cat leapt at the spot where Beili had stood moments before.

The savannah cat flicked her tail lightly, then crouched and tried jumping a few times, gathering strength in her hind legs.

Realizing that, with her current jumping ability, she had no hope of catching the Butterfly dancing overhead, the savannah cat bared her sharp teeth in frustration.

Her claws, sharp as knives, raked furiously at the earth, leaving a deep scratch in the soil.

The Butterfly in the air also noticed the savannah cat’s disadvantage.

She hovered high above, sometimes dipping lower, sometimes soaring even higher, completely teasing her opponent.

The savannah cat let out a meow, her whiskers trembling, and from her mouth came the impatient voice of a young woman-

“Damn it… Girls from the Constance Family really are insufferable! You-just wait! It must be the stuff I’m carrying that’s too heavy!”

Before she finished speaking, the gray-striped savannah cat instantly reverted to human form.

Standing on the ground was a petite young woman with short, dark hair cut to her ears.

Paji cursed under her breath as she quickly untied the pendant strapped to her back, then hurled it forcefully aside.

“Much better. Now I’ll definitely catch you!”

……

After a muffled rolling sound-

A round object rolled to Lisa’s feet.

Holding her breath, Lisa looked down and saw a delicate multicolored cord woven through a small gray-and-white ear.

That round object was actually Beiji’s head.

Lisa bit her lower lip hard, forcing herself not to step back, willing herself to stand frozen like a statue.

But her bent arm, forgetting to control its strength, squeezed the sleeping girl on her back, causing her to let out a muffled cry.

“Who’s there!”

The young woman with ear-length short hair was about to transform back into cat form. Hearing the noise, she immediately turned her head warily toward the source of the sound.

But there was no one there.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and suspicion flickered across Paji’s face.

Suddenly, her shoulders tensed. She transformed into a cat and sprang far away with her hind legs.

Almost at the same moment-

An explosion erupted where the young woman had just stood, sending up a cloud of dust.

When the dust slowly settled, a small, sunken pit remained in the earth.

The gray-striped savannah cat, now at a distance, shook the dust from her fur and transformed back into human form. Anxiously, she grabbed the Defensive Magic Pendant at her neck and checked it.

A crack had appeared at the base of the teardrop-shaped white crystal.

Rage instantly blazed in her eyes.

Paji glared fiercely at the gray-haired, red-eyed young woman standing atop the “green hedge” wall.

“You think I can’t catch you?”

Paji spat out the words through clenched teeth.

“Yes, you can’t catch me, because you don’t have wings. It’s that simple.”

Beili nodded slowly, continuing to provoke her:

“But just now, I heard you say you hate girls from the Constance Family. Looks like you didn’t get any favors from Susanna either…”

Her lips curled into a disdainful, arrogant smile, her cold red eyes gazing down.

Paji’s teeth ground together audibly.

The young woman had struck right at her sore spot.

That foolish goose Susanna was always finding excuses to linger around Prince Cyril. It was truly an eyesore.

Every time in magic class, whenever she saw the two of them leaning close together, discussing something in hushed voices as a team,

Paji could barely restrain herself from rushing over and tearing that foolish goose away.

This time, thanks to her excellent performance in the competition, she was ranked sixth.

And on that very day, she heard two pieces of good news from others-
His Highness is going to attend the closing Hunt Banquet.

And.

That foolish goose Susanna volunteered to become the prey.

Hunters are only allowed to bring one item, and most people choose to bring a weapon.

When Paji heard that Susanna was the prey, she immediately decided to swap her weapon for a tracking device.

She opened her wardrobe and picked out the most beautiful clothes inside.

She looked forward to eliminating Susanna with her own hands, so she could stand beside His Highness and enjoy the revelry of the Hunt Banquet.

But after entering the maze, Paji discovered that Susanna was being protected by Prince Cyril.

Moreover, Prince Cyril mercilessly drove her away.

In the midst of Paji’s recollection, the gray-haired, red-eyed Young Woman raised her arm, aiming the Miniature Crossbow at her once again.

Then, a Concentrated Pellet was fired.

Another explosion erupted, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A shrill, furious cat’s cry came from within the haze.

The next second.

A gray figure swiftly leapt onto the ‘hedge’ wall, ignoring the sharp ‘leaves’ sculpted onto its surface, climbing all the way to the top.

The hunter, blinded by rage, had already forgotten the strange commotion just now, intent only on crushing this Butterfly beneath her feet.

Once she succeeded.

Beili instantly transformed, taking on her Butterfly Form and soaring higher into the sky, leading the prairie cat chasing her in another direction.

……

Lisa watched as the two figures disappeared around the corner.

Without counting to a hundred, she hurriedly stepped toward the central fork in the path.

She didn’t want Aili behind her to see the cruel scene on the ground, and even less for her to recognize that the severed head belonged to Beiji.

……

The maze was intricate and confusing.

Lisa carried Aili, wandering endlessly through the maze.

At first, her steps were light and slow, trying not to make any obvious noise.

But without the Butterfly to guide her, Lisa’s sense of direction seemed to vanish completely, leaving her to endlessly wander between branching paths and dead ends.

Gradually, her steps quickened involuntarily.

She began to hurry, even to run.

The winding ‘hedge’ walls around her seemed to come alive, slowly spinning before her eyes, making her dizzy.

She began to wonder why she was here.

Why did Samuel appear in her life and destroy everything she had?

Why, after cutting off Samuel’s head, didn’t she jump into the sea with it?

If she had plunged into the cold, surging sea that night, would she have been freed?

Why did Miss Bartholomew save her?

She was just a weak, insignificant person, like an ant.

Her disappearance wouldn’t even cause anyone to feel regret.

……

Sobbing.

Lisa gasped for breath, tears overflowing uncontrollably from her eyes once again.

Her emotions shifted from numbness and calm to the brink of collapse.

Just as she was about to be completely swallowed by despair.

A fox with fur as red as maple leaves appeared in her sight, walking with light, graceful steps.

Its fluffy tail swayed gently, and the fox narrowed its long, upturned eyes, gazing at the empty path.

Opening its mouth, the fox revealed sharp teeth.

Then, a clear, youthful voice with a hint of amusement came from the fox’s mouth-

“Hmm… Let me see, it’s a big prey carrying a little prey, both draped in expensive magical items…”

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re with Luoluo.”

As the fox spoke, it walked forward, then suddenly stopped and transformed into a red-haired, black-eyed youth.

He reached out and tugged at the air, causing the hood of the Invisibility Cloak to fall, revealing two figures-one large, one small.

The youth’s lips curled into a charming smile, his black eyes sparkling like stars, and he asked eagerly:

“Quick, tell me, where is my Luoluo now?”
