Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times - Chapter 30.2

For Your Own Good (2)

Rothgarr drank the large glass of water and suppressed his nausea.

This episode increased his desire to leave this body, but looking at Anna’s caring appearance, he decided not to leave yet.

This body of the Holy Son’s was obviously the right decision. At first, Anna had rejected him, but from her performance, she would completely surrender not too long from now, and he could reap the results.

Anna didn’t know what the demon was thinking. Seeing him looking at her, she smiled kindly. She took the empty cup and put it back, and helped the demon to lie down.

At that moment, Anna had the idea of

becoming friends with the demon to resolve the crisis. But she soon regrettably gave up this unrealistic idea.

Demons and humans were two different races. He killed people decisively and cruelly; how could he see humans as friends? In addition, he changed several bodies one after another just to take her soul; how could he give up easily?

After setting up everything for the demon again, Anna took the food box back to the kitchen, and relaxingly chatted with the maids in the kitchen. Their wages were about to be paid, and they were all talking about what beautiful clothes and jewelry to buy after getting their salary.

The earl estate usually chose the end of the month to recruit new employees, and the salary of the previous month was paid at the beginning of each month. Therefore, Anna, who was employed halfway into the month, would receive her salary on the same day as them. She listened to them talking and comparing enthusiastically, and also thought to herself that she could treat her family to a nice meal after she received her salary.

In the afternoon, Anna stood by the bed of the demon. When he woke and wanted water, she would feed him water. And of course, when he needed to use the restroom, it was her who helped him walk over there.

There was a relatively rudimentary flushing toilet in the earl estate, which was much more advanced than the ordinary toilet used in Anna’s own house. She just needed to help the demon over to the toilet. Then she would leave and wait for him to finish before coming in and helping him back.

She didn’t know if the demon would be embarrassed. Probably not; after all, he was not a human being. She treated herself as a caregiver, so of course she was not embarrassed.

She only helped him to this degree. If he was paralyzed in bed and she had to do everything, then she might really have given up at the first stage.

At dinnertime, the demon’s state after a day’s sleep was much better, and Anna no longer had to feed him. Anna waited for a quarter of an hour and saw that he had no other needs, so she left him there and went home.

Anyway, the demon didn’t say to let her sit the night, she certainly wouldn’t take the initiative to mention it. Dubian was still in the ruins waiting for her to deliver food.

Taking care of people was much more tiring than working in the kitchen, but when Anna remembered that she could continue to practice meditation when she got back, her spirit was instantly refreshed.

Thinking of yesterday’s promise, Anna deliberately went to the tavern to pick a roast goose of the right size and a package of light beer, and happily carried them back to the ruins on Pomegranate Lane.

When she saw Dubian and his warm smile, although it was still full of dark lines, Anna’s mood became a lot lighter.

While chatting, the two shared roast goose and low-alcohol light beer. Anna didn’t like to drink, and didn’t want to go home with the smell of alcohol on her. She just drank a few sips for an idea.

After that, Dubian proceeded to teach Anna to recognize words as usual, before letting her continue to meditate after she mastered them.

Anna sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and soon entered the meditative state.

When she got out of meditation, she felt that she was full of energy, and her mental fatigue during the day was wiped clean.

“Dubian, can I start learning spells now?” Anna asked Dubian. Because of the existence of the demon, she was really anxious to learn spells. After a few rounds of meditations with no problems, she wanted to quickly move on to the next step.

Dubian hesitated a little. He had meditated for a long time before he officially practiced with spells. But… Anna’s talent was higher than his, and he believed she could try it first.

He said: “Yes, but at first, it’s best if you practice with me watching. Don’t practice by yourself.”

Anna’s eyes were sparkling: “Okay, I’ll definitely practice under your supervision!”

Dubian first drew four magic circuits on the ground. One of which was a condensed circuit that Anna had long committed to memory. They were all very simple shapes.

He said: “There are currently four basic magic circuits universally acknowledged,” he said as he pointed to them one by one, “condensation circuit, compression circuit, conversion circuit, and diffusion circuit. The most basic function of the condensation circuit is to gather natural elements. The compression circuit can compress the gathered natural elements into a compact state. The conversion circuit can make the natural elements switch between their two intrinsic properties, and the diffusion circuit can assist in achieving certain magical effects that need to be accelerated.”
