CH 63.1

Don’t Cross the Line (1)

Anna knew that the demon wanted her soul and was not interested in her body, so she was sure that he didn’t like touching her.

But now, it seemed that ever since she suggested they get to know each other, he was less repulsive to physical contact, and perhaps was even a little bit enthusiastic about it?

Did her words give him the wrong idea? To understand each other was to understand each other’s personality and temperament, not the body!

Anna hurriedly grabbed the demon’s hand so that he would let go of him. He didn’t seem to have the intention of forcefully holding on to her, and easily let Anna push him away.

Anna didn’t immediately discuss the issue of proper physical contact with the demon. She walked up to Dawkins, who was acting quite exaggeratedly, and said speechlessly, “Mage Dawkins, how’s your potion? Was there a problem with the suggestion Mage Raymond that gave you?”

Dawkins separated his fingers covering his eyes, and when he saw that Anna was standing in front of him, he quickly put down his hand. His eyes glanced back and forth between Anna and “Raymond”. He coughed sternly and said, “No problem! No, I should say it’s perfect! Do you know that feeling, that is, even though the outcome is not great but you know the way you did it was right. That’s right, that’s how I feel now! As long as I practice more, it’s sure to be successful!”

Dawkins turned his head and walked back to the test bench. He laboriously opened the explosion-proof barrel. It was a mess, and most of the spell circuits were rendered useless. He had to go to the management office to apply for a new one.

“It costs ten gold coins to break one, alas, the money is really not enough…” Dawkins sighed. He then turned his head and said eagerly to Anna, “But don’t worry, Anna, I will never default on your payment! ”

Dawkins had been working on this new potion for two years, and he was very aware that the wisteria extract made by Anna could effectively improve his success rate, and he would also continue to fine-tune the potion procedure according to Raymond’s suggestion. There was no telling how many explosion-proof barrels still needed to be blown up, and how many units of the wisteria extract were still needed. Thus, he had to continue to hold onto Anna.

Thinking of this, he took out five more gold coins and stuffed them into Anna’s hands: “This is the advance payment! Anna, you can only do other tasks after you finish all the extracts from the vines that I ordered!”

Anna had received five gold coins from Dawkins before, but only made forty-five extracts for him, so she still owed him fifty-five. Now that there were an additional 100 “orders”, she suddenly felt some pressure.

“Mage Dawkins, the advance payment you gave last time hasn’t been used up yet, so I really don’t need another one now.” Anna had no urgent need for money right now, so she refused his payment.

“No, you must accept it.” Dawkins naturally refused to take the money back. He added, “Look, I’m in a hurry, can you give me fifty units in three days? ”

If Anna studied in the morning and made extracts in the afternoon, making fifty units in three days was actually a bit tiring, but seeing that Dawkins was so eager to test and improve the procedure of his new potion, she nodded and said, “Okay, I will try my best. I will put the ones I finish for the day in the management office. If you need it, you can go to the management office to pick it up. ”

“Okay, then it’s settled!” Dawkins said happily. If it wasn’t for Raymond watching from behind, he might have hugged Anna out of happiness. It was his fortune to meet Anna, who did a good job performing the extract, and also brought in a good helper to solve a problem that had been plaguing him for two years!

Next, the potion lab had to undergo some inspections and repairs, and Dawkins himself had to abide by the safety rules and could no longer continue his experiment, so Anna’s potion experiment observation tour ended for today.

She left the potion lab with the demon. Because it was still early, she planned to go back to the library to read some books.

Anna didn’t speak after leaving the potion lab, but Rothgarr noticed that she seemed to want to say something, but for some reason wasn’t speaking up.

Rothgarr reached for Anna’s wrist. When she paused, he looked at her and said, “What do you want to say to me?”

Ana glanced at the demon’s hand grabbing her wrist.

It really wasn’t her delusion. There was no need to touch her right now…

She felt that she couldn’t encourage the demon’s evil spirit. She would definitely need to perfunctory him for a long time. If this developed into hugs and embraces next, then kissing, touching, and sleeping were not far off!

Her bottom line was kissing, and she was reluctant to even do that. Anymore then that, and she would not do it even if it meant killing herself.

Afraid that the demon might not understand or simply misinterpret her meaning, Anna raised her wrist, pointed to his hand that was still holding onto hers and said, “I think this is a bit too much, and before, too. We are still friends now, I think we should be mindful and keep a certain distance. Before when you held me like that, I thought it felt very inappropriate and it made me very uneasy.”

Inappropriate? Uneasy?

Hearing Anna’s words, Rothgarr’s face sank. Instantly, he let go of Anna’s wrist, and sneered: “Who put her arms around me and threw herself into my arms last night?”

At this time, someone happened to pass by not far away, and heard Rothgarr’s words, who was not deliberately controlling his volume. The ambiguous words in the sentence made them look over curiously. Seeing that the protagonist of the gossip was the famous Raymond, they couldn’t help but slow down their footsteps, wanting to hear more.

Anna blushed a little when she heard the demon’s words. Fine, in his opinion, she was indeed a double standard.

Noticing the prying eyes of people around her, she didn’t want people to see a joke, so she quickly said, “Let’s go talk over there.”

After speaking, she took the lead in turning her head in a certain direction.

Rothgarr stared at her back for two seconds, following with a displeased face.

Those passers-by couldn’t follow, so they dispersed regretfully.

When they got to a secluded place, Anna turned around and stood still. She looked at the demon. Naturally, his expression at the moment was not any better.
