Chapter 104: [Fairy Tale] He Has a Little Gray Wolf (30)

Asi got her wish and was stroked by Ryder several times.

Her tail behind her wagged happily without pause.

Ryder was nearly driven to the brink by her. He did not dare let his gaze linger on the little girl, yet every time he stole a glance, his cheeks would flare red at once.

"Asi, are you from the Wolf Clan?"

Ryder looked away and asked with some concern.

If Asi was from the Wolf Clan, then she had her own home and would leave him. More than that, she would not be safe in Redcap Town.

And yet, with the way she looked, how could she possibly not be of the Wolf Clan?

He sneaked another look, only to see Asi shake her head.

Very firmly.

"I am not from the Wolf Clan! Don't hate me!"

That was what Asi feared most. She had almost forgotten that Redcap Town and the Wolf Clan were enemies.

If Ryder found out she was from the Wolf Clan, what if he came to hate her?

Though with the way she looked now, anyone with a working mind could tell at once that she was from the Wolf Clan.

But some people's minds were simply hopeless.

Ryder's eyes suddenly lit up. "R-Really?"

That was wonderful. If so, Asi could stay here forever.

Ryder was overjoyed.

Even though he knew the little girl was lying, he still believed her.

He was far too hungry for warmth.

Far too hungry for Asi.

Asi nodded evasively, then felt her answer did not seem firm enough, so she put on a serious little face.

"I'm not from the Wolf Clan!"

To Ryder's ears, that was no different from saying she would live in his house from now on.

And if one thought about it that way, it was practically the same as saying he could have children with her.

Ryder lowered his head, the corners of his mouth stretching almost to his ears.

His eyes shone brilliantly, more dazzling than the starry river overhead.

"All right. Then Asi will live here."

And then, we will have children together.

Ryder suddenly looked up at Asi. Asi was looking back at him, and the starlight in his eyes dazzled her for a moment.

Her cheeks turned a little red.

"Okay."

Asi felt that something about this was strange. She reached out and pinched her soft white earlobe.

Her ear felt hot too. Ryder truly lived up to being a man of magic.

He only had to look at her once to make her heart pound wildly.

It was really beating so fast.

Asi went into the yard and sat down, letting out a long breath.

Ah, once she got outside, that suffocating feeling was gone.

At home, they had to raise a little wolf, and raise it well.

Ryder needed to go out and earn a great many gold coins.

Little wolves loved to eat so much. He would bring every finest thing the continent had to offer before it, and feed it until it grew plump and round.

Ryder shouldered his basket and prepared to go gather herbs in the Black Forest.

This was the only work he could do at present to earn gold.

He was still not sure how powerful his magic was, because he had never used it.

He did not want to go to the Knight Recruitment Office for now. Although the pay there was better, it was work that could cost him his life.

For the time being, he also did not want to use dark magic.

It was the symbol of evil.

Every time Ryder used it, he felt deeply ashamed.

During these past few days, Asi had accompanied Ryder to the Black Forest, and there she even ran into Uncle Huo.

Uncle Huo said he was heartbroken that Asi had not been coming to see him lately, but he also told her he understood.

At the same time, he told Asi that the wolf clan would move away before winter, having found an excellent place to live.

If Asi wanted to go with them, she should come back and find him soon.

Asi refused.
