The Hero Rescues the Beauty (4)

Balan was over 1.8 meters tall, with long legs, and one step of his was equivalent to two of Anna’s steps, but he deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Anna.

“Anna, is your home in Black Cloud City?” Balan asked.

“No, I have never been to Black Cloud City. I came here to join the Mage Association and become a mage.” Anna didn’t hide it. Anyway, the other demon knew what she was doing in Black Cloud City. Shouldn’t their information on her be equal?

Balan was a little surprised, and smiled: “Being a mage costs a lot of gold.”

As he spoke, he took out a small bag and handed it to Anna, but what he didn’t expect was that Anna took a step back and avoided the bag without even touching it.

Rothgarr, who was in the dark, snorted almost cheerfully.

That’s right. She avoided the gold coins he threw to her at the beginning, so now she should give Balan the same treatment.

Balan looked at Anna’s reaction in surprise and explained: “Anna, here are some of my valuables; they should be worth some gold coins. This way, you can complete your mage studies more smoothly.”

He opened the bag, and it was filled with shining gems. Anna felt that there seemed to be some gems with high-density natural elements that were hard to ignore.

…They must be very valuable!

Anna shook her head almost angrily.

“You saved me, I don’t even know how to thank you, how can I accept so many gems? Please take it back.” After Anna firmly refused, she didn’t look at the gems again, even though she wanted it very much.

She didn’t dare to accept the gold coins of that demon, how could she dare to accept the gems of this demon, Balan?

Balan understood at this point why Rothgarr said that this woman was very complicated, and why he had not been able to win against this woman.

Although Rothgarr’s problem had to do with himself having no experience in courting women,  this woman was indeed a bit unusual.

Even his Catherine, would reveal a look of joy at the sight of these gemstones that would make his heart itch, but this woman, not only did not show any joy, but even moved to avoid it.

What was wrong with these gems? Or was it his problem?

Seeing that Anna didn’t want the gems, Balan naturally wouldn’t force it. It was his principle to make women comfortable, no matter in the bedroom or not.

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have tainted our relationship with such a vulgar thing.” Balan smiled and retracted the bag. “I was just too worried that you would be met with trouble, and wanted too badly to resolve the thorny road ahead for you. I’m very sorry for the lack of manners.”

“It’s okay.” Anna shook her head, forcing herself not to think about how much the bag of gems was worth, and how many years of labor it could save her…

That was a demon’s possession; it would not be so easy to take!

Anna forced herself to pull her thoughts back to where she was now.

After Dubian left, the demon had no reason not to continue following her, but now another demon appeared, yet that demon did not appear to come out and stop him…..Why?

Did he leave? But he was so persistent before, and he continued without success after possessing so many people. Even if he really wanted to give up, shouldn’t he have killed her to relieve his frustrations? If she were in the demon’s shoes, she would definitely do so.

If he didn’t leave, why didn’t he come out? He didn’t know that she knew that all those people he had possessed before were him. Even if he came out now, he wouldn’t expose anything!

Could it be that because Balan was stronger than him, and that’s why he dared not show up?

Various possibilities flashed through Anna’s mind, but she was still unsure.

But she was almost certain that the demon must still be there; she just didn’t know why he wasn’t coming out.

Thinking of the bad temper that the demon showed when he was possessing others, and his defiant character regardless of the situation, Anna suddenly made up his mind.

Only demons could beat demons!

So, the next plan was to make these two demons fight!

Anna saw a caterpillar wriggling in front of the road. Originally, this kind of bug didn’t scare her as long as it wasn’t near her skin, but she suddenly screamed and rushed into Balan’s arms.

This was the truest sense of ‘flinging oneself into someone’s arms’.

Balan hugged Anna almost subconsciously, and asked with concern: “What’s the matter?”

Anna pointed to the bug on the side of the road and said: “There are bugs, I am most afraid of these kinds of bugs! How frightful!”

Balan glanced at the non-threatening caterpillar, patted her back and soothed: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here; it can’t hurt you.”

“En!” Anna shrank into Balan’s arms and nodded dully. She didn’t have any signs of coming out of his arms, as if she was extremely dependent on him.

“……”

“…”

Rothgarr watched this scene and broke the branch beside him in anger.

When did Anna start to fear caterpillars? She was obviously deliberately acting!

What was she doing! He never saw her like this when he was possessing others. The only time was when she lied to the Holy Son (who was possessed by him) to fight for her. Did she think Balan was much better than him, so she planned to climb him?

She better not think so!
