Anna waited for a while, but was a little disappointed when she didn't see the demon rushing out. It seemed like this stimulation wasn't enough
As if she had been comforted by Balan, she broke away from his arms, stepped aside sheepishly, and whispered, "Sorry, I was so out of control."
Anna knew that the devil must see that she was pretending now, but it would be better if he saw it.
So in his opinion, why is she pretending to be a little bird? Of course it was to gain Balaam's sympathy, which was enough to show that she was interested in Balaam.
And she just told the devil yesterday that she looked down on the four-star mage Shengzi and others.
She looked down on the four-star mage and the Holy Son who were possessed by the devil, but she fell in love with Balan. Isn't the devil angry? The prey he chose was about to be snatched away by another demon, why didn't he stop him
Although she didn't notice any movement, Anna didn't give up. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. If it didn't work once, she would try a few more times. The more she tried, the devil's anger would always reach the threshold.
At that time, all she had to do was hide nearby and shout, "Don't fight, don't fight, you can't kill anyone like this."
Balan had seen countless women before, so why couldn't he see that Anna was just faking it? But of course he won't expose her, he just likes women to play such cute little tricks with him.
"It doesn't matter, it's normal for delicate girls to be scared by such scary little bugs." Balan smiled, and when he turned to Anna, his smile suddenly became strange, "But I'm very curious, Anna, aren't you afraid of a devil like me?" ?”
An alarm bell rang in Anna's heart, and she felt that Balan's words were full of temptation.
Indeed, because she was used to seeing demons all the time, although she showed a certain amount of surprise when Balan appeared, she lacked the fear and vigilance that humans have when encountering aliens.
"Because you saved me." As if she didn't hear Balan's temptation, Anna lowered her head and said shyly, "I thought I was going to die just now, but you showed up. I know that demons are evil creatures in legends , but legends are legends after all, shouldn’t seeing be believed? The fact is that you saved me, and if you have any ill intentions towards me, at worst it will be the same as when you didn’t save me, and I won’t suffer any loss.”
When Balan listened to the first half of the story, he thought that Anna fell in love with the person who saved her at first sight when she was rescued. Only after hearing the second half of the story did he realize that she was actually a rational person.
A rational person who deliberately pretends to be weak and wants to get close to him obviously has an intention for him. No matter what her real purpose is, he welcomes her.
"Anna, you said that very well." Balan smiled, and then gave his friend a stumbling block, "However, not every demon is as kind as me. From now on, when you see other demons, Remember to run as far as you can.”
Lotgar stared coldly at Balan who deliberately caused trouble for him, but didn't take it seriously.
Of course he was still possessing someone else and getting close to Anna today. How could Anna find out that he was a devil
"Really?" Anna heard Balan mention other demons and quickly asked pretending to be curious, "Are there many demons coming to the human world? I don't think I have heard of them. Do they all look like the same ones? You too?"
"What is the same? Are they equally handsome?" Balan smiled happily, "Don't worry, as far as I know, there are only two demons who have come to the human world. The other one's appearance is a little inferior to mine, but his temper Very bad. If you see him, don’t talk to him, otherwise you will be pissed off by him. He has no sympathy for women."
... This must be the devil who has been staring at her!
The devil did have a bad temper, and sometimes his mouth was quite poisonous... But sometimes, he would also say some nice things. She now suspected that those nice words probably came from the memory of the person he possessed. He pretended to be Dibby yesterday. An is quite similar.
And listening to Balan's tone when talking about the demon, Anna felt that the two people were not like enemies, but like friends. The tone was quite intimate.
Then her previous idea of letting the devil rush out and fight Balan would probably be aborted. The two people obviously have a good relationship, and the demon has been staring at her, and Balan suddenly came up with a hero to save the beauty and deliberately approached her... Could it be that the demon felt that he couldn't handle her after what happened last night, so he asked his friends to help
It's so simple. He has to ask friends for help even when it comes to harvesting souls. Is he so unsure of himself? If you don’t have the confidence to say it, give it to him!
After figuring out that it was not two demons competing for a soul, but two demons cooperating to harvest souls, Anna really panicked.
It was already hard enough for her to fight a demon with wits and courage, but now there was someone with a clearly higher rank, how could she bear it
Ana took a deep breath and calmed down.
So what about friends? Can't friends be provocative
Knowing that the demon was listening, she nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I remember. Thank you for reminding me. I thought every demon was like you... However, I listen to your tone, you Are you friends with that devil? Wouldn't it be bad if you said bad things about him behind his back? "
Balan thought that if Anna hadn't known that Lotgar was eavesdropping in the dark, he would have thought that she said these words deliberately to sow discord between him and Lotgar.
"Don't worry, he never cares about this." Balan said nonchalantly and blinked, "Besides, isn't he not here?"
Anna's face was smiling, but her heart was bleeding.
It seems that these two demons have a really good relationship and cannot be easily provoked! Also, that demon can find Balaam to help him harvest souls. I guess they have a really good relationship with him.
Seeing that there was no way to instigate a relationship between the two, Anna had to give up the plan and continued walking and chatting with Balan.
"Balan, what are you doing in Black Cloud City?" Anna changed the topic and continued to inquire from a different angle.
Balan smiled: "Looking at a friend's family."
"You have so many contacts, but is it okay for you to just go in like this?" Anna said. Balan's answer contained a lot of information. The "friend's family" in Black Cloud City are of course only human. In other words, he has a human friend, and the strange thing is that he went to visit his friend's family. , instead of looking at friends and family, what about his friends
Also, can demons and humans be friends? She thought demons only saw humans as prey. So why couldn't the other demon be friends with her? She felt that her soul was more beautiful if it stayed in this body.
"Just go in at night." Balan said with a smile, "Although there is no one in Black Cloud City who can hurt me, it would be too troublesome to make a big fuss."
Anna smiled: "That's right."
First, there is no one in Black Cloud City who can hurt the devil. What about other cities? There is still hope in her plan to become a five-star mage and defeat the devil. Second, the devil's horns cannot be retracted. Otherwise, if the horns can be retracted like wings, he can swagger into the city. So what if his eyes are red? Have you never seen anyone suffering from pink eye
Anna and Balan were walking in the gaps in the forest. This road did not have the path formed by human walking for a long time, and it was a little hard to walk. However, Anna had walked through various terrains in the past twenty days, and she could still follow at this time. superior.
She thought that Balan could take her directly to Black Cloud City, but he didn't do that. It was obviously to "cultivate" a relationship with her on the way to Black Cloud City so that he could help his friend in a very short period of time. busy.
Since she couldn't instigate Balaam's friendship with another demon, she didn't have to do anything more than talk.
Anyway, as long as she gritted her teeth and refused to let go, he couldn't do anything to her. If he had the ability, he would kill her. She would rather die than surrender anyway!
"Let's rest here for a while." Balan suddenly suggested.
Anna said hello and found a place to sit down where Balan stopped.
Balan smiled and said: "I will go take a look around. If there is any danger, I will solve them before you see it."
"Then I'll trouble you." Anna smiled gratefully.
Balan's back quickly disappeared into the dense forest. Anna leaned against the tree trunk and closed her eyes to rest.
Did he go to find the devil? Is it possible that they want to exchange techniques for harvesting her soul
"Isn't Anna pretty easy to understand?"
Balaam was delivering his speech, and standing in front of him was Lotgar who had followed them all the way.
Rotgar sneered and didn't want to talk. He followed and watched Anna's behavior. He was very unhappy.
"But she is indeed more complicated than ordinary girls." Balan touched his chin and analyzed, "I saved her, but she doesn't have much of a relationship between men and women towards me. Although she seems to be a little attached to me, I know, She was actually wary of me.”
Balaam has seen thousands of women in his life. How come he can't tell whether a woman loves him or not? Anna seemed to have no problem facing him, a stranger like him. In fact, it was probably because she knew she was weak and had to act like she was dependent on him, right
"But while she is wary of me, she also wants to get something from me." Balan continued, "Money, power, strength, all she wants is these. She is such an ambitious woman, she can actually It’s really rare to ignore my beauty.”
He licked his lips, his red eyes gleaming with excitement: "I really want to see what it would be like to see such an ambitious woman fall for me, with her face red and full of desire, begging me to satisfy her..."
Rotgar frowned irritably when he heard Balan's words, and he mocked: "Don't you have your love?"
Balan glanced at Lotgar, shrugged and said, "I'm just saying, now that I have Catherine, I will be loyal to her."
Rotgar and Balaam have been friends for thousands of years. It is simply ironic for Balaam to say the word "loyalty". If it weren't for the fact that almost every time he went to Balaam's castle, there were always things that stained his eyes. How could he be too lazy to set foot in Balaam's castle
He didn't even bother to respond to Balaam's words.
"But, knowing what she wants, isn't it easy to get her consent?" Balan said, "She will be very happy to propose to her. I am the Grand Duke of the Abyss. All she wants is to marry me. You can get them all. By the way, I have to mention my status in the demon world to her later."
Rotgar couldn't help but want to sneer when he saw that Balan was full of confidence and didn't regard Anna as a big problem at all.
It took him nearly two months to figure out Anna, and if she was really taken down by Balaam in one day, she should be prepared to face his wrath.
After Anna rested for a while, she heard movement. She opened her eyes and saw Balan walking slowly not far away. He must have deliberately made noise to avoid scaring her if he got closer.
She thought, compared to that devil, Balan was indeed much more considerate. How many innocent girls could he have deceived
"There is no danger around. You can rest for a while." Balan sat on the ground two steps away from Anna and said with a smile, "Do you know there are five Abyss Grand Dukes in the Demon World?"
"Huh? I don't know. I just learned for the first time today that demons are real." Anna sat up straight, obviously very interested in this topic.
Balaam seemed to say casually: "Coincidentally, I am one of the five Grand Dukes of the Abyss."
Anna's expression changed slightly, and Balan noticed it, knowing that his chips had increased.
"Why do you call him Grand Duke of the Abyss?" Anna asked.
"Because we five demons all climbed out of the abyss of the demon world. The abyss gave us gifts and also gave us a curse." Balan said nonchalantly something that almost no one in the human world knew. When he saw Anna He hesitated to speak with a curious look on his face, and asked with a smile, "Want to know what gifts and curses the abyss has given us?"
Anna nodded expectantly.
Balan smiled and said: "This can't be said. This is our secret. Even I don't know the secrets of other Abyss Dukes very accurately."
Anna was a little regretful. "Gifts and curses" sounded like the devil's weakness. But Balan would never talk about this kind of weakness no matter how hard she tried to trick her. She had better not bother to pry, so as not to backfire. .
Thinking of the demon who had been staring at her, Anna couldn't help but ask: "The Archduke of the Abyss...isn't he very busy?"
Balan was stunned and laughed loudly: "It's true that we are free. We don't have to manage land and population like the nobles in the human world. You don't know how free we are."
Anna thought to herself, how come she didn't know how free they were? Balan is the Grand Duke of the Abyss, and the other demon must be too. A powerful and statusful Grand Duke of the Abyss has trouble with her, a weak human being, every day, maybe because of something wrong with him!
"Although I don't like to manage others, I have all the servants and treasures in my castle." Balan continued to throw out bait, "Whether they are intelligent or unintelligent monsters, they will kneel in front of me and tremble."
He has money, power, and strength, so isn't she still tempted
Anna feels that it is very impolite not to show a certain amount of envy and yearning when others are showing off, especially when the other person is a devil. It is not only impolite, but also life-threatening.
So, she looked at Balan with a little more admiration in her eyes: "That's amazing."
Balan curled his lips. He felt that Rotgar was too stubborn. Does he have to love him to agree to his proposal? You can achieve your goals if you love his appearance, power and status, but you have to know how to be flexible.
After all, with Lotgar's appearance, what woman couldn't bear to love him? If he wanted his targets to love him, it would be like this, and none of them would succeed.
Balan rudely mocked Rotgar in his heart, and then took it away and exaggerated his status in the demon world.
Anna said she had rested, and the two continued on the road.
After walking for a while, Anna found that the surroundings felt a little more familiar, as if it was the place where the monster grabbed her, so she would know how to walk the rest of the way.
Unfortunately, Balaam can’t get rid of him yet.
As a human, Anna gets tired easily and needs more rest time. After walking for less than two hours, Balan noticed her fatigue and suggested to rest again.
Balan didn't leave this time, so Anna simply meditated in front of him. Meditation helps to restore energy. Although Balaam is not a reliable demon, it is easy for him to kill her anyway. There is no need to wait for her to meditate to kill her, so she has nothing to worry about.
When Anna finished her meditation, she opened her eyes and saw a roast chicken in front of her.
…dreaming
Before she could pinch herself, she heard Balan smile and say: "I'm so lucky. I just went for a walk and picked up this roast chicken. Anna, you must be hungry."
Anna couldn't help but fall into silence as she looked at the roasted chicken, which had been roasted golden brown and sprinkled with various spices but was just a little cold.
Where can I pick this thing up? I'm afraid I didn't "pick it up" in someone else's caravan!
Anna has even eaten World of Warcraft meat, and of course eating cold roast chicken is not an issue.
But she didn’t want to eat what Balaam gave her. What if there was an “obedience medicine” that didn’t exist in her past world but existed in this supernatural world
Of course Anna bought dry food when she passed through cities and villages before, and now she still carries two pieces of dry biscuits with her, which is enough for her to walk to Black Cloud City.
"I don't like chicken, you can eat it." Anna said and took out her dry biscuits, "I can eat this."
Balaam smiled: "The devil has no need to eat. Giving it to me would be a waste."
Anna thought that it was normal for demons not to eat ordinary food. After all, there were delicious souls to eat. Who wants to eat rotten apples when you can eat durian
"That's really wasteful." Anna said it was wasteful, but she had no intention of eating roast chicken.
Balan looked at Anna eating the biscuits and thought her little thoughts were so cute.
Because she didn't want him to see her eating roast chicken indecently, she deliberately said she didn't want to eat chicken. It's a pity that he already has Catherine, otherwise he would really want to challenge her.
Anna could have rushed to Black Cloud City before dark, but she was kidnapped by the three-headed monster and took a wrong journey when she came back. Therefore, she could not see the shadow of Black Cloud City when it got dark. This night Can only sleep in the open.
Because she had been in the wild for several days, Anna felt like she was covered in dirt and wanted to take a bath. Therefore, she was particularly impressed that Balan didn't even look disgusted when facing her.
Balaam found branches, watched Anna light the fire with interest, and sat beside the fire with her.
Quietly looking at the girl opposite in the firelight, he found that the little face that looked a little gray during the day was actually a bit beautiful at the moment. Those sky-blue eyes reminded him of the blue sky, the only thing that humans like, purity. But it was so profound that he really wanted to find out.
Of course, he immediately thought of his Catherine and pushed the thought out of his mind.
Feeling that he had gained enough favorability points throughout the day, Balan smiled and said, "Anna, after I visit my friend's family, do you want to come back to the Demon Realm with me?"
Anna was stunned and asked: "I am a human, can I also go to the devil world?"
Balaam thought, look, wouldn't this be easy
She didn't ask why he asked, but instead asked her about the feasibility of going to the Demon Realm. Wasn't it because she really wanted to follow him
"Of course, it's a little troublesome, but there is a way." Balan smiled, "If it's for Anna, that little trouble is nothing."
Rotgar, who was standing under a tree not far away, was hiding in the shadows, watching this scene with stern eyes. He felt humiliated when he heard that Anna did not reject Balaam's offer out of hand.
Every time he proposed before, she refused very quickly and simply, right? Although the reasons varied, her refusal never changed.
When it was Balaam's turn, she hesitated.
All kinds of terrible thoughts flashed through his mind. Rotgar stared at Anna beside the fire, waiting to see what kind of fate she had chosen for herself.
