Chapter 146: Fairy Tale – He Has a Little Grey Wolf (71)

"Don't, don't eat me!"
"Please! I beg you!"
Protected by Reid's flames, Asy remained untouchable, keeping everyone at bay.
Mrs. Griffin was terrified to the core. All her previous arrogance had vanished. "Don't eat me... I beg you... please don't eat me..."
Asy glared down at the people beneath her. She hadn't actually intended to eat them; she just wanted to scare them. Hmph.
Still pinning them down, Asy wasn't finished with her intimidation.
Nearby, Reid’s expression suddenly darkened. A gloom he couldn't even control clouded his eyes.
"Asy, come back here!" he commanded coldly.
With a flick of his palm, black flames erupted, causing the people beneath Asy to shriek in agony.
Asy glanced at the people below, then turned her head to look at Reid, as if in defiance. Her dark, obsidian eyes stared at him for a moment before she proudly turned away.
She pressed her paw down firmly, and the person beneath her immediately coughed up blood. Asy calmly shifted her paw aside, avoiding the spray.
When she looked back again, the young man’s expression had turned impossibly gloomy. Yet, his ink-blue eyes were glistening with unshed tears, and his soft, red lips were pouted.

He furrowed his brows, looking as if he were about to burst into tears at any second.
Well, Asy couldn't bear to see Reid look so aggrieved. She immediately returned to his side, sat down obediently, and began to lazily lick her paws.
Reid leaned in until he was pressed against the wolf, finally exhaling a long, weary breath. He reached out to stroke Asy’s fluffy coat before turning his gaze toward the group in front of them.
"The house is a mess..."
"And the wedding dress I made for Asy has been torn to pieces..."
Reid curled his lips, his gaze gentle. To the knights, he sounded as if he were merely acting spoiled, provided one ignored the underlying ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Rest assured, I wouldn't dream of destroying the world..." After all, he and Asy still had to live here. This world held Asy's favorite roast chicken and her most beloved pastries.
Oh, that’s right—Asy seemed to love sweets, though unfortunately, they only had candied hawthorns here. Every time she ate them, she would lick off all the sugar, leaving the sour fruit for Reid to eat. Asy would eat happily, and Reid would be even happier.
"However, you destroyed the home I built for Asy and ruined the wedding dress I made for her, so you must pay the price."
Before the group could even process his words, a dragon’s roar echoed from the horizon. A massive red dragon suddenly swooped down.

Dragons were the guardians of this continent. Not daring to use their magic before understanding the dragon's intent, the group remained frozen.
The red dragon landed haughtily outside Reid’s house, only poking its head inside. Its expression had been lethargic, but the moment it saw the little wolf beside Reid, its eyes lit up.
"Asy, I’ve missed you so much..."
The dragon nudged its head forward, signaling for Asy to pet it.
Back in her wolf form, Asy felt much bolder in Reid’s presence. Ignoring him entirely, she raised her paw and patted the dragon’s head gently. Her tail wagged happily behind her, clearly welcoming the dragon's arrival.
If this scene hadn't been unfolding right before his eyes, Reid might have been happy. Unfortunately, it was happening precisely where he couldn't ignore it.
