Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times

Time (3)

She hugged Gaea, and this strong hug made her feel at ease, but it was a pity that she couldn’t indulge in such a hug.

Anna gently pushed Gaea away, and said softly: “Mama, after arriving in Red Fog City tomorrow, I will help you settle down first, and then… I will go to Black Cloud City.”

Gaea grabbed Anna’s hand suddenly: “Anna, you want to leave?”

“I still have friends in Black Cloud City.
I’m afraid that if the demon can’t find me, he will hurt them.” Anna said.
She bought some time in Blue Stone City.
She wondered if it was possible to reach Black Cloud City before Rothgarr?

She could only hope that Balan would work harder and buy her more time.

“But that’s a demon, Anna! Aren’t you afraid that he will hurt you?” Gaea held onto Anna’s hand tightly and refused to let go, her tone anxious, “You can stay with us, we will live a good life in Red Fog City, the demon won’t find you!”

“I know, Mama.” Anna patted the back of Gaea’s hand, and smiled helplessly, “But this mess was caused by me; I can’t implicate my friend.”

Anna knew very well before that escaping from the Demon Realm was only the first step.
The next steps were the real trouble, but she couldn’t stay in the Demon Realm and wait for death.

When Rothgarr realizes he likes her, it would be fine if he likes her like an ordinary person would.
But what if he thought this hurt his self-esteem and planned on killing her to “destroy the evidence”?

After all, demons and humans were different races.
In such a situation where she was completely vulnerable, she would not pin her life hopes on the other party’s charity and kindness.

So, even if the stakes were high, she would try to escape.
Because she arrived at Blue Stone City first, she took her family away and hid them as quickly as possible.
Next, she had to go to Black Cloud City to deal with the aftermath.
This was her bottom line in life.
Even if she paid a huge price for it, there was no other choice.

Seeing Gaea wipe her tears because of her words, Anna didn’t feel great, but she had no choice, so she didn’t say anything else, just hugged Gaea and comforted softly: “I’m a mage now’ there’s still a possibility for me to defeat that demon.”

Moreover, Black Cloud City was more prosperous than Blue Rock City.
Before Black Cloud City had a big event like the summoning a demon; perhaps the power in the city was stronger now.
Maybe there was a powerful mage who could beat Rothgarr?

Both Leon and Natalie had family entanglements, so it was unlikely that they would leave with her, but if there was a powerful mage or something else that could go against the demon, then she could happily go back to live in seclusion with her family after warning them.

At night, the entire family curled up in the carriage and slept.
Adele no longer guarded against Anna like before, but laid beside Anna.
She softly called out to Anna before falling asleep.

Anna gently stroked Adele’s hair.
Because she couldn’t sleep, she just sat and meditated.

Early the next morning, the carriage continued on the road.
Around noon, Evan stopped the carriage suddenly and said nervously, “There is someone blocking the road ahead!”

Seeing the panic on Gaea’s face, Anna smiled and said, “Mama, don’t be afraid, I’m a mage now!”

Anna asked Gaea to stay in the carriage with the three little ones.
She jumped out of the carriage by herself, and saw five strong men lined up about ten meters ahead.
In their hands were ropes and blunt-looking swords.
They looked at the carriage with a grim smile.

“Leave everything, and we won’t kill you!” The leader shouted.
He saw Anna getting off the carriage and was a bit shocked.
He pointed to Anna and said, “But you have to stay behind.
Let us have our fun and then you can go!”

Anna gave a cold laugh: “How do you think we, old and young, dare to travel through this wilderness?”

The leader was taken aback for a moment, and was about to say ‘How would I know,’ when Anna raised her hands slightly.
The palms of her hands were instantly lit up with lightning.

She—it was a mage!

This realization had just flashed in the minds of these robbers, when the thunder and lightning enveloped them all.
After a wave of uncontrollable trembling, they all fell to the ground.

Anna didn’t even check to see if these people were still alive.
If they died, they deserved it.
If they were still alive…the rest of their lives would not be so easy, having been electrocuted like this.

Before she got into the carriage, she turned her head and waved her hand.
The wind gathering spell swirled up the three “dead corpses” blocking the way, and threw them to both sides of the road.
Then she said to Evan, “Papa, let’s go!”

Evan was stunned by the scene just now, and only after hearing Anna’s words did he snap out of it and start driving the carriage.

He didn’t have much real sense of the small flame yesterday, but today he saw how easily Anna electrocuted the people blocking their way, and he finally realized how powerful his daughter was now!

Anna, who had bullied ordinary people with the strength of a three-star mage, didn’t feel ashamed.
On the contrary, she felt very happy.

This included her pretending in front of Father Louis and Parrish before, she also felt very good.

She was bullied by Rothgarr for so long, where she, a three-star mage, was the same as an ordinary person when facing him.
After leaving the Demon Realm and returning to the Human Realm, her strength as a three-star mage seemed more powerful.

It was so cool to have the strength to crush others.

Seeing Gaea’s complicated expression, Anna smiled and said, “Mama, you see, I am no longer the weak and helpless person I used to be.
I have the strength to protect myself, so please don’t worry about me.”

Gaea took Anna’s hand and nodded slightly.
She knew that she couldn’t change Anna’s mind.
Now, Anna was no longer the pitiful and taciturn little girl who could only be bullied.

The carriage finally arrived at Red Fog City in the afternoon.
