Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 24.1

Accepting Gold Coins (1)

Rothgarr certainly wouldn't reveal his plan now. Anna didn't know what he was thinking about, but she could feel his ill intentions, and felt a chill run down her back.

Could this demon misunderstand that she liked the Holy Son, so he intended to possess the Holy Son to deceive her soul?

This possibility drove Anna crazy.

After the Ulysses incident, she was mentally prepared for the demon's change of possession, but what she didn't want to accept was that the demon could actually take over the body of the Holy Son?

Was the demon really that invincible?

Her hope that the Holy Son could blow up the demon was made in vain.

Anna's disappointment came and went quickly. If the Holy Son couldn’t deal with the demon, then she would take matters into her own hands!

Rothgarr suddenly seemed excited when he saw Anna. He didn’t know what she was thinking about, but he didn't care either way.

In a few days, everything would be over.

Rothgarr threw a thread-bound book on the table to Anna: "See it for yourself."

Anna hurriedly caught the book. There were words she didn't recognize in the title. She opened the inner page and skimmed a bit. Through the words she knew, she found that the book seemed to be related to the creation myth.

She glanced at the demon secretly. He was sitting quietly, his face calm and beautiful. If she looked past the demon hidden inside this body, his face was truly beautiful.

What a pity.

Anna started to flip through the book slowly from the beginning. Now that she knew some vocabulary, when she encountered a word she didn’t know, she could start from the root of the word or guess the meaning based on the context. After reading along this way, she roughly understood the content.

The book said that the world was originally in chaos. It was the creation god who woke up from the chaos and divided the world into two, heaven and earth. Then, he shaped light into the goddess of light and the goddess of light looked after the land for him.

The Goddess of Light created eight natural elements, and used these eight natural elements to create various creatures. Her favorite was the humans who looked most similar to her. Such grace aroused the jealousy of certain creatures. These creatures used various methods to lure mankind into betraying the belief in the goddess. The goddess was angry and punished mankind.

The human race woke up amidst various catastrophes and renewed their devotion to the goddess, and the goddess kindly forgave the human beings and drove the other creatures into the Demon Realm as punishment.

The book was not long, but it was not as short as Anna’s summary. After reading it, she raised her eyes to look at the demon. She felt like she couldn’t just pass up on the opportunity to learn, so she walked over to him and said, "Master Ulysses, I'm almost done reading it, but there are some words I don’t understand the meaning of, so I must implore you to teach me."

Rothgarr took the book, glanced at the title, and frowned slightly. He opened the book and read a few lines before coldly slamming the book closed. He said coldly, "It's all nonsense."

Anna: "..." Dare I ask, was it not you who let me read this book? This demon was truly using any random book to teach her!

Anna remembered that she had said that she did not dare to blaspheme the gods before. At this moment, she quickly said, "Master Ulysses, please don't say that! This is a blasphemy against the gods. You are also a believer in the goddess. How can you say this?"

Rothgarr squinted at her. He tapped the cover of the book with his slender finger, and asked her, "Do you understand what is written inside?"

"I roughly understand." Anna briefly explained to him the summary she had come up with in her mind, and specifically explained, "Because I don't recognize that word, I replaced it with ‘some kind of creature.’"

Rothgarr looked at Anna. His mouth twitched slightly, his eyes filled with malice. He read the word aloud with his lips slightly parted.

Anna was stunned: "What?"

This time, when the demon spoke the word aloud, Anna could hear it clearly.

"Demon."

Anna knew how to say demon in the spoken language, but the word demon did not conform to the spelling rules. Looking at the word alone, it was impossible to associate it with the pronunciation of "demon".

...The word actually turned out to be "demon"!

Anna was a little confused for a moment. Why was this demon's reaction so strange? Did he find out that she had long been able to see him?

No, that's not right, calm down!

If he found out that she knew what he was and was still putting up an act with him, he would most likely become angry as a result of the embarrassment of being played, and she probably would have been dead by now.

Anna forced her gaze to stay on the word on the page; she didn't dare to look at the demon and nor his expression. She seemed to have stared at the word for a while before calmly saying, "It turns out that this word is demon. I already knew how to say the word demon before, but I didn't know how to write it."

Rothgarr sneered at Anna's seemingly ignorant appearance.

A real demon was right in front of her, yet she didn't know it.
