The Hero Rescues the Beauty (3)

The demon in front of her had an elegant and charming smile on his handsome face, and he held Anna with his hands tightly to make her feel secure. He descended slowly in a circle.

He had a pair of very wide, fleshy wings. Anna had never seen these fleshy wings on the other demon who had been eyeing her. The fleshy, bat-like wings were very shiny, the kind of rainbow black spoken of in legends.

——So, her soul was so tasty that two demons would fight over it?

In Balan’s eyes, Anna’s stupefaction was due to being shocked by his heroic posture. The smile on the corner of his mouth grew bigger. His voice was full of magnetism, and his tone of speech was cadenced and rich in feeling. “Beautiful lady, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Anna returned to her senses and replied cautiously.

If they were both demons, he should follow the same rules, right? Then, as long as she didn’t agree to any contract-like requests of his, she should be fine, right?

Anna was already a person who had survived big winds and waves. Facing this other demon, she was shocked at first, but her heart quickly became as calm as still water.

Was there a difference between being targeted by one demon or two demons? Perhaps the two demons fighting to snatch her soul would even result in a fight to the death amongst themselves. That way, she, the fish, would profit off the death of the two fishermen.

Because she couldn’t show her familiarity with demons, Anna could only show panic on her face at the moment, glancing at the horns on the demon’s head from time to time.

Balan descended to the ground with Anna in his arms. He retracted his wings but did not immediately put her down. Instead, he smiled and said: “Are you suspecting that I am not a human?”

Anna was surprised and said: “Are you really not a human?”

Balan didn’t hear the maliciousness in Anna’s words. He smiled charmingly: “I am a demon.”

……Well that was direct.

Different demons seem to have different personalities, and she had to deal with them carefully.

Anna’s eyes widened, and she felt that her performance was more exaggerated than last night’s. “Are you like they say in the legends…a demon who was driven into the Demon Realm?”

“Although I do belong to the Demon Realm, it’s not quite accurate to say that I was driven over there.” Balan smiled, patiently answering Anna’s question which actually was a bit offensive.

Anna was not actually interested in the history of demons. What she wanted to know was the weakness of demons. Seeing that the other party didn’t want to continue the topic, she stopped asking. Instead, she seemed to notice her condition suddenly, showing panic and shyness and said, “Please let me down!”

The smile on Balan’s face deepened a bit. He even lowered his head slightly, and got closer to Anna before saying, “I don’t know why, I’m a little bit reluctant to let you down. My dear girl, if I let you down, will you disappear from my sight like early morning dew?”

“……I won’t.” Anna didn’t know what kind of facial expression to put on. This demon seemed to be a little different from the previous one.

It seemed that this demon’s temper was much better. However, no matter how good his temper was, it couldn’t change the fact that they were lying to get her soul.

After hearing Anna’s answer, Balan smiled and put her down. He looked at Anna with a non-discomforting look, and asked with concern: “Dear girl, are you hurt?”

Anna shook her head: “No.”

When the demonic creature grasped her shoulders, the claws didn’t pierce her skin, otherwise she would have to worry about bacterial infections.

Balan smiled reassuringly: “That’s great. My name is Balan. I wonder if I have the honor to know your name?”

“My name is Anna.” Anna replied cautiously. She thought, since this demon came to her in such a frank way, why shouldn’t she take the initiative to get more information?

However, she felt that the other demon might still be watching in the dark, and she had to be careful when she asked for information. She couldn’t reveal that she had seen through that other demon a long time ago.

She set her eyes on Balan’s horns and asked curiously: “Excuse me, can I touch your horn?”

Rothgarr, hiding in the dark, heard this request from Anna, and almost crushed the branches of a tree that were as thick as a large bowl.

He sneered and thought, When this woman is in the face of Balan, she really takes the initiative!

Balan was taken aback for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his lips became a bit more profound. He shook his head and said, “No.”

He suddenly bent over, his lips almost pressed against Anna’s ears. He laughed softly, “For us demons, our horns are equivalent to a woman’s breasts, and they should not be touched randomly.”

Anna: “…” Did she accidentally sexually harass a demon?

She blushed and took a short step back, and quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, I don’t know.”

Balan smiled generously: “It doesn’t matter…” He blinked as he said, “However, if you become a demon’s lover, you can touch them anytime.”

There it was!

Anna heard these suggestive words, and she was alert in an instant. The next step would be to propose marriage, right?

——Are you going to marry me? Then you can touch my horns at will.

But Balan’s reaction was not as Anna predicted.

After he finished speaking, he backed away, as if he hadn’t noticed Anna’s embarrassment. He returned to a serious expression and smiled and asked, “Anna, why are you here alone? You are such a beautiful and fragile girl, alone in such a place. It’s too dangerous, where are you going? I’ll send you off.”

Was it dangerous?

Anna didn’t think this section of the road was dangerous at first, but she did encounter danger just now, and the demon named Balan rescued her “in time”.

Wasn’t it obvious? He arranged the demonic creature just now!

At the end of the day, a demon was a demon. Their ideas were the same. The previous demon forced her into a desperate situation where she could only ask him for help, and this demon also forced her into a desperate situation and appeared to save her in a heroic gesture. Fortunately, her sensitivity and alertness was heightened from the very beginning.

They were really wishful thinking!

“Ah, I forgot to say, thank you for saving me just now!” Anna thanked him first, and then looked around. She didn’t know where that demonic creature had taken her, but she was certainly off the main road now and a little lost. “I was going to Black Cloud City, but…”

“It is my duty to save beautiful ladies.” Balan smiled and raised his right hand lightly, “I happen to be going to Black Cloud City too, let’s go together.”

Anna didn’t know if Balan really wanted to take her to Black Cloud City. She had no way of figuring this out, and she couldn’t fight against Balan anyway, so she mustered up an expression of absolute trust and followed him.
