Escape (2)

After an unknown amount of time, Rothgarr finally let go of Anna. His red eyes hooded slightly. The corners of his mouth were hooked up slightly, and his face was full of contentment.

No wonder Balan liked kissing Catherine so much, he thought. He kissed her as if it was an addiction.

It turned out that kissing really was addicting.

Seeing Anna’s head looking down and her chest rising and falling violently, he couldn’t help but lift her chin. Seeing her red lips and wet eyes, he couldn’t help lowering his head and kissing her.

Rothgarr didn’t do more than that, and when he was gone, Anna felt relieved.

She successfully made it through the day.

After staying in the Demon Realm for two days, Anna could also tell the difference between day and night in the Demon Realm.

In the next few days, Rothgarr took her to see many of the Demon Realm’s “famous sights”, some of which could be seen in the Demon Realm during the day, while others could only be seen at night.

Rothgarr ended up taking her to watch the reproduction of thunder pythons anyway, but it was different from what she thought. What he mainly showed her was likely the “fighting” of male thunder pythons before gaining the right to reproduce with female thunder pythons. Their “fighting” was so interesting; it turned out that they fought over who could kill more of small creatures such as mice in a specific area. They couldn’t attack each other, they could only attack the “mice”.

The different reproduction strategies of different organisms were indeed very interesting.

During this period, Anna only saw Catherine once.

Maybe as Balan had said before, he was jealous of Catherine’s good relationship with her, so he didn’t let Catherine see her. Even the one time she saw her, he was there, too, so Anna couldn’t talk to Catherine.

Fortunately, their plans had long been settled on that day, and were not affected by this.

On the morning of Catherine’s birthday, Anna dressed up meticulously. She planned to use her best appearance to carry out today’s escape plan.

Catherine, accompanied by Balan, personally came to invite Anna to her birthday party in the evening.

Balan put his arms around Catherine and said dotingly: “I wanted it to be lively, but Catherine said that the four of us are enough. Except in bed, she rarely asks anything of me, so how can I not fulfill her wishes? So tonight, there will only be four of us in the entire castle.”

Ana ignored the inappropriate parts of it and confirmed that there was no problem with the first step.

There was a banquet for only the four of them, so when they got drunk, the two of them could do whatever they wanted!

“Catherine, I wish you a happy birthday.” Anna looked at Catherine and smiled, “I will prepare a present for you.”

Catherine shook her head and said, “Just bring yourself, I don’t need a gift.”

Anna smiled and blinked to tell Catherine that everything was going well on her side.

During these seven days, Anna felt that she had sacrificed a lot.

After Rothgarr was lifted from his “spell,” he seemed to be obsessed with kissing. When he brought her back after taking her out to play, he always had to kiss her for a while before letting her go.

She was just glad that Rothgarr was still content with this level for the time being. If it was Balan, on the first day, she would be like what Catherine had said, “As long as the soul is clean, the body is irrelevant”…

This might have had something to do with her not responding, but she didn’t think this situation would last long. Fortunately, today was the day to take action!

Rothgarr said he was going to find a good thing to gift to Anna, so he was not there at the moment. After Catherine personally came to invite her, Balan took Catherine away.

After a while, Rothgarr came back with a very small seedling and an injury.

Anna was surprised: “How did you get hurt?”

Besides Balan, who was also a Grand Duke of The Abyss, was there anyone else who was able to hurt him? Did he run to find another Grand Duke of The Abyss to duel?

“It’s just a small injury,” Rothgarr responded casually, showing Anna the green seedling in his palm with great interest, “Do you know how to play with this?”

Play?

Anna looked at the small seedling sitting in Rothgarr’s palm, a little confused. This seedling was about as long as a finger, with a gray-brown root system below, a white stem, and three oval shaped green leaves at the top. The seedling had a mass of roots underneath, and it stood firm, only the three leaves waved gently as if beckoning.

Anna stretched out her hand and gently poked the green leaves. The seedling fell back, trembling and then spreading its roots, it stood itself back up with trembling force.

It was kind of cute!

Anna wanted to poke it again, but Rothgarr moved it away and frowned: “This is the seedling of the whip tree demon. It is more fragile than you. If you touch it again, it may die.”

How could she be so fragile that she would die after a touch or two!

Anna felt insulted to be compared to a seedling, but she just gave Rothgarr a dissatisfied look, then stared at the seedling and asked curiously, “What’s the use of it?”

Rothgarr said: “Hand.”

Anna looked at him and stretched out her right hand.

Rothgarr grabbed her hand, swiped across her index finger. Almost immediately, a small bead of blood emerged. She endured the pain and watched as he let her blood drip onto the leaf of the seedling. She suddenly remembered the various fantasy stories where they used blood to make spirits loyal to one masters, so —wait! What was going on?!

Right before Anna’s eyes, after absorbing her blood, the seedling stretched its root system and draped it over the wound on her fingertip. Then she watched helplessly as the seedling tunneled into her wound!

If Rothgarr hadn’t held her hand in place tightly, Anna would have thrown off the seedling like it was a cockroach.

So many horror movies flashed through her mind in turn, making her face pale with fright.

“What is this!”

Rothgarr thought the rare frightened expression on Anna’s face was very funny, and he smiled, just watching her for a while before saying, “Don’t be afraid, this is a good thing.”

When the seedling had completely penetrated into Anna’s wound and could no longer be seen, he released her hand.
