Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance Chapter 464 Hana’s Plan

Chapter 464 Hana’s Plan

Mira felt like shit. She felt like she had been used as some sort of scapegoat; to make matters worse, it was done by a child.
Now that she thought about it, that whole stealth technique might be complete bullshit as well! Mira didn't want to brag or anything, but with her current talent, comprehension, and senses, she felt like she should've at least reached a basic mastery of such a technique by now.
However, forget about mastering it; Mira barely understood the premise of it!
Feel the trees' gazes?
Bullshit!! What gazes?! They are just fucking trees!!
The more Mira thought about it, the worse she felt. She felt like she had been scammed. However, instead of losing money, Mira was dragged into the middle of all this mess.
She sent her consciousness into her storage room and stared at the silver crescent moon pendant with a complicated look. She didn't dare to bring it out in case there was some sort of tracking mechanism on it.
Mira felt the urge to destroy it, but there wasn't much of a point in doing that now.
She already had a vague premonition that Azaar and his men would soon be back to search for her.
Since both he and Hana knew what she looked like, it would be difficult for her to hide. Even if she wore a mask, it wouldn't matter. Her tails are too unique.
How many beastmen in the world have 9 tails, much less 9 multi-colored tails? If Mira had to guess, she'd say…
None!
There probably isn't a single person that looked like her, even disregarding her perfect face.
So, if Azaar and his men wanted to find her, it wouldn't be particularly difficult. Unless she made it back to the Battle Maiden Sect, that is.
Mira looked in the direction the flying ship left in, Northwest, then glanced West. Her best bet at making it back to the Sect would be to travel west, so she can leave these damn mountains and enter a human city.
But, could she really do that?
The safest and most rational choice would be to head West and return to the Sect as quickly as possible.
However, Mira's pride was telling her not to take this lying down…
"Argh! Fuck! If I don't beat some sense into that little girl, I don't think I'll be able to calm down!" Mira screamed with malice leaking out of her words.
Right now, she really wanted to kill something to help calm down, so that's exactly what she did. She began running Northwest and killed everything in sight!
***
On the flying ship heading Northwest, Hana and Azaar were sitting in one of the cabins staring at each other in silence.
On the surface, they both had neutral expressions, but if one looked closely, one'd notice the emotions hidden deep within their eyes.
Azaar seemed to feel a mixture of happiness, bitterness, and relief. In comparison, Hana felt reluctance, sorrow, and anger.
The two continued to stare at each other for a few more minutes until Azaar finally couldn't take it and spoke up.
"What made you finally decide to stop running? Don't tell me it was really because of that beautiful lady back there. Although I do admit she's beautiful, she's way too dangerous. Even when she was facing me, despite knowing she was several Realm weaker, she showed no fear. I could also tell that if she truly felt like her life was about to end, I'd most likely die or have to flee." Azaar said calmly, though he couldn't help but feel a bit complicated.
Honestly, he wanted to know a bit more about Mira and her background, but his instincts told him that getting involved with that fox lady would do him more harm than good. So, when Hana offered herself up, he immediately grasped onto her and left, not wanting to stick around Mira any longer.
The main reason for this is that he felt inferior to Mira just being in her presence. As someone with the Sun Lion bloodline, this was a huge hit to his pride, but what he hated the most was that even if he attacked her to 'prove his superiority', he wouldn't feel anything.
Mira was 2 Major Realms weaker than him! How could he feel good about beating up someone in the Core Formation Realm?
Doing so would only make him feel worse as it'd almost be like him admitting he stood no chance against Mira if they were in the same Realm.
So, Azaar just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. He could also feel the dense killing intent leaking out of Mira and concluded that she was probably a fucking psychopath!
Although he's not averse to killing, Azaar feels no pleasure in hunting everything that moves.
However, Mira's killing intent, combined with her gaze, made him understand that the fox lady felt nothing for the lives around her.
Hearing Azaar's words, Hana was shocked!
"What?! Big Sis would've been able to fight you?! Dammit! If I had known that, I wouldn't have come out!" Hana muttered.
"So, you really did come out for that woman?" Azaar questioned again.
"Hmph! Who do you think I am? Why would I do something so stupid for someone I barely met? Plus, that woman spanked me for several days as punishment for dragging her into all this. I wouldn't help her even if she paid me to! Even mother doesn't treat me like that!" Hana snorted while simultaneously feeling a sting on her butt.
Azaar burst out laughing hearing that, "HAHAHAHA~ So, that woman grew tired of your bullshit as well? Honestly, I'm surprised you lived, considering how dense her killing intent was."
Azaar commented lightly, but that last sentence caused Hana to freeze up for a second as she remembered that she really did almost die…
However, before Azaar could notice, her expression returned to normal, and she snorted again.
"How could she bear to kill someone as cute as me?" Hana said shamelessly, but only she knew how close to death she really was.
In fact, she could still feel the blade of Mira's scythe pressed against her neck at this very moment…
Suddenly, Azaar stopped laughing, and he stared intently at Hana's chest, or more specifically, her collarbone.
Then his expression froze.
"You… you… What the hell did you do with the necklace?!?" Azaar roared in disbelief and anger.
He jumped up from his seat and immediately began searching Hana's body, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find it.
The whole time he was doing this, Hana watched with a smile filled with disdain.
After a few minutes, Azaar stopped searching and stared at Hana with bloodshot eyes.
Seeing her smile full of disdain almost made him want to strangle her to death, but he stopped himself from doing so.
"What. Did. You. Do?" Azaar could barely form sentences at this point, nearly lost in anger, but Hana continued to smile like this had nothing to do with her.
"Oh? Are you talking about the treasured necklace of MY clan that's been passed down for generations and is the reason why the Silvermoon Clan exists today?" Hana giggled as she asked, seemingly enjoying Azaar's worsening expression.
"Hehe~ Now that I think about it, where did I put it? Ah! Now I remember! I left it in that fox lady's possession before you came and took me away!" Hana continued to laugh as she knew that the only reason Azaar and his Clan wanted her was because of that necklace.
Well, she's equally as important, but she's basically useless without that necklace…
Azaar's mind went blank when he heard that, as he never thought Hana would be so reckless that she would willingly give that thing away to some stranger.
".............why?" Azaar managed to ask through gritted teeth.
However, Hana didn't bother to explain and merely chuckled.
Azaar could no longer be bothered with Hana as he rushed out of the cabin to order the crew to turn around.
Hana watched all this and inwardly sneered.
'Heh. Do you really expect me just to come to willingly after all you've put me through? You're too naive, Azaar. As for why I gave it to Big Sis Mira… Let's just say there's no better person to give it to than a crazy person like her who won't hesitate to kill children. She'll surely put you guys through hell without caring about the consequences, hehehe~' Contrary to what one might expect, Hana had this whole thing planned out ever since she crossed paths with Mira.
Although she was still lucky to escape with her life, her instincts told her that the safest place for her Clan's most precious treasure would be in Mira's hands. She also felt like Mira was strong and crazy enough to, hopefully, cause major problems for the Lionel Family.
Sure, Mira will probably have a hard time because of Azaar and his clan, but Hana just considered that as part of Mira's punishment for spanking her so many times.
***
Meanwhile, back in the mountains, Mira again felt uncomfortable and decided to go into hiding. She assumed that Azaar was probably coming back to look for her, but Mira had no intentions of being captured a third time!
Fortunately, she could control her aura and Qi well enough that as long as Azaar couldn't see her physically, it'd be extremely difficult to find her.
