Why Would I Be Jealous (1)

“I think… I’d better go to Natalie’s house.”

Anna naturally chose not to choose anyone. She clutched Natalie’s hand and smiled, “I’ll just consolidate what I’ve learned with Natalie, no need to bother you.”

Rothgarr was satisfied that Anna didn’t choose Leon, but he wasn’t happy that she also didn’t choose him.

He spit out a cold sentence: “Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?”

“How can it be that serious…” Anna laughed dryly, grabbed Natalie’s arm, and said quickly, “We have to wash off the sweat after practice anyway, it’ll be more convenient at Natalie’s house.”

Natalie felt that Anna was pinching herself lightly, and quickly echoed: “Yes, yes!”

Rothgarr and Leon both fell silent when Anna mentioned bathing, a word that easily invoked certain images.

Seeing that it really calmed down the two of them, especially the demon, Anna hurriedly said, “Then we’re heading off, see you tomorrow!”

Then she hurriedly dragged Natalie into the Wrights’ carriage.

Rothgarr and Leon, who were left behind, didn’t even look at each other when they went their separate ways.

When she calmed down, Anna asked Natalie to drop her off first, saying that she planned to go home to get a set of clothes first. Natalie wanted to say that she had endless clothes at home, but looking at Anna’s height and then looking at herself, she got tongue tied, and instead said that she could wait for Anna.

Anna persuaded Natalie for a while before the latter agreed to go home first, and then she went to buy some food and headed home as well.

Anna opened the door and went in without seeing Abel. She couldn’t help wondering if he had already left. She saw him appearing out of the bathroom and looked at her puzzled: “Why are you? Didn’t you say it would take several days to come back?”

Anna set the food on the table, looking for her clothes while saying, “Something happened, I have to go out again soon.”

Abel slowly came over and looked at Anna. Anna got goosebumps from his staring. She stopped in her tracks and asked him, “What are you looking at?”

“You’re not injured, what’s the matter, the mage who went with you died?” he said.

Anna said angrily, “Can’t you hope for something better? I was injured, but I’ve been healed. Sorry to disappoint.”

She grabbed her clothes and was preparing to leave, when Abel said, “I don’t want you to be in trouble.”

Anna nodded: “I know, after all, I’m your meal ticket now.”

Abel didn’t understand what meal ticket meant, but he could guess from Anna’s tone and context. He picked up the food that Anna bought, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said vaguely while eating: “So yummy…you have to live longer, at least until I die.”

Anna glared at him before closing the door and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely live longer than you!”

Abel was still chewing his food. He looked at the closed door for a while, his tone a bit vague: “Impossible.”

Anna went to Baron Wright’s residence. The coachman who had been driving Natalie to and fro was waiting for her outside. He led her in.

Anna didn’t run into anyone else on the way to Natalie. She thought this was good. She didn’t waste time, and started the actual combat training with Natalie directly.

Anna might be inexperienced in dealing with demonic creatures right now, but she felt very experienced in fighting against humans.

The fighting experience she got with fighting with the demon was equivalent to fighting with 100 people.

And Natalie was much inferior to Anna. Their actual combat experience was stark, not to mention the difference in their talent. Because Anna’s Holy Healing Technique was more proficient now, the two of them did not hold back as much during actual combat, not afraid of getting a little injury.

And according to Anna’s experience, there was a lot of food next to them, which could supplement the resources and energy needed to heal an injury.

When the two were tired, they rested, and after they recovered their mental strength, they continued to fight. Except for having a simple lunch at noon, they did not waste any time.

When the day was over, the two of them laid on the ground as if paralyzed, and none of them cared about propriety at all.

Mental strength could be recovered by meditation, but their physical exhaustion was at the limit.

“Anna, although I’m tired…I’m so happy!” Natalie breathed heavily and sighed, her eyes lighting up, “I don’t want to stop at a one-star mage…I also want to be a two-star mage, if it’s possible, I even want to be a three-star mage!”

Anna liked to see a positive and progressive appearance on others, as if they were partners who were moving forward together.

She laughed: “Okay! As long as you want to, I will help you! Besides, why stop at a three-star mage? You can also reach for four-star and five-star mages!”

“Yeah!” Natalie responded heavily, imagining her majestic appearance when she becomes a four-star mage, only to feel that her breath was speeding up.

As if remembering something, she suddenly got up and asked Anna enthusiastically, “Anna, would you like some green plum wine?”

Anna’s eyes also lit up: “Okay!”

So, the two got up with each other’s support and walked to Natalie’s room excitedly.

The green plum fruit wine Natalie mentioned was the kind that Anna almost tried at her birthday party before, but didn’t drink because the demon stopped her. Later, in the Association, because the demon was always there, in addition the two were busy with training, they forgot it after a while.

The two of them were not in a hurry to drink. They each took a comfortable bath, and then sat down on the chair while drying their wet long hair. They sat on a bench, enjoying the clear green wine, which was swirling around in the transparent glass.

Anna gathered her long hair that was almost dry in front of her, raised her wine glass, and clinked her glass with Natalie: “I wish we can both pass the promotion test smoothly.”

Natalie blushed, and quickly picked up the wine glass and said, “We can both pass, definitely!”

Natalie had never been so confident before an exam, and this time she knew she could pass.

Thinking of the grievances she has suffered over the past few years, Natalie suddenly burst into tears.
