Chapter 304 Extreme Cold Secret Realm
After a few rounds of drinks, the conversation between the three gradually became more harmonious.
Even Kou Ji-Wo Fu, whose temperament was usually unpredictable, opened up under the influence of alcohol, constantly talking about stories related to perfume making.
"Alright, it's getting late, we should head back—"
"What's the hurry? We've just started."
Hearing Sophina-Silvermoon about to stand up and make her final remarks, Kou Ji-Wo Fu, who was beside her, directly pressed her back down.
"My dear Vice President, we still have tasks assigned by the President to attend to tomorrow morning. If we don't finish soon,
it might affect the progress of the task—"
Upon hearing the words "President", Kou Ji-Wo Fu pouted, released her grip on Sophina-Silvermoon's hand, and then smiled brightly at Jia Na who was beside her.
"Jia Na, I'm really looking forward to working with you in the future. After all, you're the first person I've ever met who possesses Extraordinary Charm."
Seeing Kou Ji-Wo Fu looking slightly tipsy, Jia Na also "obediently" nodded.
From the conversation just now, it was clear that Kou Ji-Wo Fu was still holding a grudge about being defeated in the "charm duel" when they first met.
Even though Kou Ji-Wo Fu didn't use any supernatural power, merely using a perfume with a mind-controlling effect to "charm" Jia Na as a test, Kou Ji-Wo Fu still couldn't accept the fact that she had lost.
Because of this, Jia Na could only carefully avoid this topic. When she heard Kou Ji-Wo Fu's occasional complaints, she tried her best to be a qualified listener, speaking as little as possible to avoid mistakes...
"Then I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, be careful."
With the final clink of glasses, the three-person banquet ended as scheduled. Seeing that the other two didn't seem to have any intention of getting up to leave yet, the more sensible Jia Na stood up first and left the Fresh Flowers Rendezvous private room.
"Hoo—"
The moment she left the private room, Jia Na used the Psychological Invisibility Witchcraft to avoid causing unnecessary commotion among the diners on the first floor. As Jia Na exited through the revolving door, she let out a long sigh of relief.
"Are all Formal Wizards of the Witch Faction like this?"
After leaving Emerald Feather String, whenever Jia Na thought of Kou Ji-Wo Fu's various behaviors that were completely unlike a Formal Wizard, Jia Na felt a mix of emotions.
Especially when Sophina-Silvermoon told her that Kou Ji-Wo Fu was considered relatively normal within the Witch Faction..."
"Actually, the Lilybell Sorceress isn't a difficult person to get along with, her personality is just a bit—split."
Jia Na wasn't sure if her description was accurate. After spending the whole evening with her, she felt that Kou Ji-Wo Fu might not be schizophrenic, but more like a strange Wizard who was a bit neurotic and had a performative personality.
At times she appeared mature and charming, and at other times like a somewhat extreme child—no matter which one, Jia Na felt a sense of unreality regarding Kou Ji-Wo Fu, as if the other person was constantly acting, leaving Jia Na unsure which was Kou Ji-Wo Fu's true personality—
Of course, Jia Na wasn't trying to label Kou Ji-Wo Fu.
It was just that the Formal Wizards she usually interacted with were mostly Professors from White Coral Academy, whose personalities were generally serious and earnest. It was rare to encounter someone with such erratic behavior. "The banquet tonight finished much faster than I expected."
Looking at her pocket watch, which showed it wasn't yet eight o'clock, Jia Na's mood at the moment was, overall, quite good. "Let's go back to the Opera House and change my clothes first."
Having made up her mind, Jia Na first found a street corner to change her high heels into flats, then lifted her skirt, cast the Light Feather Spell, and quickly walked towards the Nightingale Opera House.
"I remember Julie's makeup remover should still be on the dressing table in the lounge." Besides changing back into her wizard robe, Jia Na also planned to remove her makeup; otherwise, she always felt an awkward sensation as if her skin couldn't breathe.
"Hoo—"
The night wind whistled, sweeping past Jia Na's long skirt.
Although the sky had already darkened by then, as she walked past, Jia Na could still see a few hints of green gradually appearing on the lawn outside the Nightingale Opera Troupe.
"Spring is finally coming—"
The next day, afternoon.
Due to a temporary shift change that afternoon, Jia Na was able to get off work before three o'clock.
"Jia Na, I'm here—"
Having changed her clothes and removed her makeup, Jia Na couldn't help but smile when she heard the familiar voice coming from the back door.
"Have you been waiting here long?"
"Of course! I've been waiting for you since your performance started."
After taking the large bouquet of flowers given to Jia Na by the opera fans, Vivian habitually linked her arm with Jia Na's.
"Are you hungry? Let me tell you, the temperature in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm is very low. If you go in on an empty stomach, you could easily freeze and pass out."
Hearing Vivian's words, Jia Na thought seriously for a moment, then still shook her head.
"I ate a few pieces of dark chocolate just now, I should be able to manage."
Today was the day Jia Na and Vivian had agreed to go to the Extreme Cold Secret Realm. It was also the first time Hermann-Rose would take the two of them to the place where the Extreme Cold Secret Realm and the Netherworld border met.
"Let's go, it's not good to keep your father waiting too long."
"Alright—this is the carriage I hired in advance, get in."
Jia Na, who had intended to use Psychological Invisibility again, was directly pulled into a luxurious carriage by Vivian.
"You really didn't have to go to such expense—"
"This is just a bit of money, don't always be so polite with me—let's head to Rose Manor."
"Okay, Miss Vivian."
As Vivian gave the instruction to the coachman, the pure white carriage quickly drove towards Rose Manor.
"Eat it while it's hot, I specifically prepared it for you."
Just as Jia Na was preparing to close her eyes and rest for a while in the carriage, Vivian handed a steaming red bean pancake to Jia Na.
"It smells so good—did you make this?"
"Of course I made it! Just rolling the dough took me ages to learn."
Seeing Vivian's slightly unnatural and awkward expression, Jia Na also took the red bean pancake handed to her.
"Hurry and try it, red beans don't taste good when they're cold."
"Okay."
Jia Na, who wasn't particularly hungry originally, somehow actually started to feel hungry when she saw the red bean pancake in her hand.
Immediately, under Vivian's expectant gaze, she took a big bite.
"How does it taste? This time, I specifically made it not too sweet—"
"Hmm—how should I put it—"
Seeing Vivian's somewhat anxious expression, Jia Na said quite seriously:
"It's delicious!"
