If you don’t cherish the love we wear quickly, why are you crying if you change your mind?

This question was not answered until they arrived at the outskirts of the wolf forest to rest and make dinner. Ares didn't say much and just went about hunting in the forest. After a while, he caught a rabbit and came back.

When he went to deal with the rabbit, he first put the wild fruits he picked from the woods next to Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao looked at the red fruits that looked delicious, and happily followed him to the river to wash them with the wild fruits in her hands.

Ares can cook food, but the taste is very average. Jiang Miao was very supportive at first, but when she thought about the long-term camping, she decided to do it herself.

After Jiang Miao had processed the rabbit, he roasted it himself. Adding a variety of seasonings, the fragrant and appetizing roasted rabbit was soon ready.

Ares watched the girl's skillful cooking skills from the side. He pinched his brows, it seemed that he still knew too little about this noble lady.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for a delicate young lady to cook and cook so deliciously that even someone like him who doesn't like overcooked food can enjoy it with gusto.

After Jiang Miao had eaten his fill, he picked up some wild fruits, sat against a tree and began to eat them, while Ares quickly ate the remaining food.

He cleaned up everything and added more wood to the campfire.

"Ares, you haven't told me the answer yet." Jiang Miao looked at the man who sat over. The rays of the setting sun shone on his face, as if it was coated with a layer of holy light.

Ares told her, "There is no answer, you better pray we don't run into any of those difficult wolves."

Jiang Miao said "oh" and suddenly remembered that his luck in this plane was very average. Seeing a pile of bones not far away, he quickly covered his mouth.

"Ares, we're not really going to be in danger, are we?"

"Are we camping here tonight? I see bones"

"Are you scared now?" Ares looked at her. When they were in the capital, she had to use tricks and provocations to get him to come over. Now it was too late to be scared.

"This is the Wolf Forest. There are always wolf-like monsters appearing here. They will ambush lone travelers, especially in late autumn, when they are storing food for the winter."

If Jiang Miao didn't want to hide her identity as a witch, she might have been eager to kill a few monsters. Now she had to just admit defeat.

"Ares, do we have to take this route?"

Ares looked calm, "In most cases here, it's the monsters that threaten people's lives, but it's not certain for other roads."

"Oh." Jiang Miao nodded thoughtfully. She had a bad feeling.

However, Ares taught her magic seriously and taught her how to use arcane magic to kill the wolf-shaped monster.

Jiang Miao didn't expect that he actually remembered what he said at that time and taught him in great detail.

After teaching her the skills, he went to set up the tent. After it was set up, he crossed his legs and stretched out his body beside the tent. He glanced at the girl practicing arcane arts opposite him, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

As Jiang Miao practiced, his attention shifted to the man.

Along the way, he seemed to keep more and more distance between the two of them, and it was a bit difficult for Jiang Miao to flirt with him.

But, that's a good thing.

If he doesn't care, there's no need to try to hide it, just keep your distance.

Maybe, he still likes himself a little bit!
Jiang Miao thought for a while, and practiced for a long time before walking to the tent and sitting down.

She rested her chin on her hand and looked at Ares who had his eyes closed.

The temperature dropped sharply at night and Jiang Miao shivered slightly.

Ares, with his eyes closed, suddenly said, "Go into the tent and sleep."

"No, unless you come in too." Jiang Miao deliberately tested.

Ares was unmoved, "I will keep watch."

"Oh." Jiang Miao pulled a blanket out of the tent and put it on Ares, "Then I'll sleep inside. You have to agree when I call you."

"Don't be afraid." Ares' voice was calm, and it sounded particularly reassuring.

Jiang Miao muttered, "I'm not afraid. I'm just not used to resting in the wild." "For the rest of the trip, I'll try to go in the direction with more towns." Ares turned sideways with his back to the tent.

Jiang Miao lay in the tent, hugging a small quilt, "Let's follow your plan. I don't want to be a drag."

Ares didn't say anything. From the moment he decided to bring Jiang Miao along, he no longer thought about the issue of being a drag.

For some reason, the image of the girl with her eyes lowered and red rims flashed through his mind.

He pursed his lips and soothed her, "You may not encounter a pack of wolves. If you are scared, use magic to hide in a tree."

"Is it useful?" Jiang Miao asked curiously.

This time Ares really didn't respond to her.

Not until he heard the girl's steady breathing did he get up and check the obstacles and traps he had set up earlier to prevent sneak attacks in the middle of the night.

Jiang Miao was suddenly awakened by Ares in the middle of the night. The man lifted her up with her blanket while she was still in a daze.

"what happened?"

"There is a monster." Ares was calm.

Jiang Miao struggled for a while, "Put me down quickly, I can't affect your performance."

What a joke. If he carries her on his shoulders, maybe both of us will be in trouble.

"Is it a pack of wolves?" Jiang Miao stared at a green dot that appeared not far away, like a wolf's eyes.

Ares nodded, "It's a wolf pack, and there are a lot of them."

When Jiang Miao heard Ariste's added sentence, he knew that it would be a bit difficult to deal with.

She did not waste time packing the things in the tent and throwing them into the carriage, but chose to stand behind a tree, ready to fight at any time.

After a while, the first group of wolf-shaped monsters that ambushed them rushed out and drooled at them.

The veins on Jiang Miao's forehead were throbbing. They were being treated by the wolves as food for the winter.

"Roar——" The roar resounded throughout the forest, and Jiang Miao watched Ares take action.

This was the first time she saw Ares officially killing monsters. The way he killed monsters was completely different from the temperament of a paladin, and the scene was even a little scary.

It was like a wild beast breaking free from its cage and feasting on blood.

Although this kind of killing was not elegant enough, it was powerful enough. However, she did not expect these wolves to be so difficult to deal with. After the first batch fell, another batch came.

She had a bad feeling that if this continued, they would all be exhausted.
Jiang Miao didn't care about that. She controlled the witch's dark magic in the dark and killed many wolf-shaped monsters.

The wolves closed in and surrounded the carriage.

In close combat, Jiang Miao couldn't use the witch's magic anymore, as it would be hard to say if he was discovered by Ares.

She couldn't guarantee that the upright paladin would not take action against the witch, but she had a hunch that the upright Ares would not accept a witch around him.

However, it would be difficult for Ares to escape with her.
Jiang Miao had no choice but to suggest, "Ares, why don't you run away first."

Once he runs away, it will be much easier for me to escape. The night is the hunting ground for witches.

Ares didn't even reply to her, instead he grabbed her hand and went out to kill her.

In a flash, Jiang Miao saw the huge wolf king biting towards Ares' head.

She blocked it without thinking, but was held on the chest by the paladin, listening to him chanting a spell of light.
