The pain in his shoulder forced Shaar to squeeze his eyes and mouth together, giving him a ridiculous look on his face. Quickly putting pressure on his wound, his body trembled severely for a while, and he started to breathe out heavily. Refusing to remind himself of their kiss a moment ago, he started to curse: “Do you want to kill me!!”
The Pitiful Creature instantly became enraged. This hillbilly took massive advantage of her and actually dared to get angry and scold her: “You bastard, a moment ago ……”
“Shut up!” Shaar’s face instantly changed color and forcefully gritted his teeth: “Nothing happened a moment ago! You better quickly forget about it! You, you better not tell this to anybody else, otherwise I won’t ever be able to leave my house in the future!”
While talking, Shaar looked around and saw the shy goblin princess sitting at the corner and started to give off a strong murderous intent: “And you! You also better not say a word about it!”
The goblin princess’ heart instantly filled with dread and quickly nodded.
The Pitiful Creature almost fainted from anger!
Not only did she stop believing in natural justice after this hillbilly took advantage of her, now this bastard actually started to act as if he was the one who was violated!
After such a side-show, both of them turned their heads and started to ignore each other.
Pulling out a piece of cloth, Shaar started to bind his wound and sat down while holding his head in worry.
Where did Shaar’s worries come from?
Stupid question, how could he not be worried?
When he calmed down, he indignantly discovered the fact that …… Uncle Shaar turned into a poor wretch again.
In order to escape a moment ago, Shaar had to throw away all his belongings to save them! Which meant he could not bring the heavy luggage that he had carried around all the time!
God dammit! There were still a dozen gold coins inside!!
Both his waraxe and his shield were destroyed.
Even the wolf skin of that Bloodthirsty Great wolf was left behind!!
Right now, Shaar had returned to the same situation as when he left Primal Wildfire town. No, compared to that time, he at least also had a rotten axe in his hand. Now his only remaining weapon was the pitchfork.
Ah ……ah?!!
The pitchfork!!
Quickly picking up the pitchfork that the pitiful creature left beneath his foot, Shaar carefully held it in his hands and observed it.
This rotten pitchfork was fully covered in a layer of black ash after using it to transport black coal for countless years. I am afraid that the thick layer could not be cleaned even if someone tried to scratch it off. It did not even have one shiny spot on it left.
Shaar did not even know where this tool came from and was already using it before he could remember. Most likely, the old man threw it into the furnace a long time ago. Shaar had never discovered its magical usefulness and usually only used it to stab a coal briquette or to flip some charcoals and so on.
As for its sharpness ……Would you ever take your family pitchfork and start to use it as a kitchen knife to chop stuff when you had nothing to do?
After being busy for a while, the anger in Shaar’s heart slowly disappeared. He looked at the Pitiful Creature and suddenly remembered some doubts that he wanted to clarify and coughed: “Hey, ehm, you, I need to ask you something.”
The Pitiful Creature put on a serious face and turned around: “What?!”
Shaar sighed and made somewhat of a contemplating expression: “Hey ……If I’m not mistaken, those guys who wanted to kill us are related to you! That fellow riding the horse asked me if I met another human being, and ……I noticed that when you saw them, you looked like as if you’d seen a ghost!”
The color instantly drained from the Pitiful Creature’s face and she knew that she could not hide it any longer. Moreover, when they escaped a moment ago, the opposite party already saw her and therefore, it was inevitable that they would never give up. Realizing that there was no way out, she nodded with a sullen face: “Yes……Those people are looking for me and should have been sent by my uncle.”
“Your uncle?” Shaar frowned and stared at Pitiful Creature: “Are those people there to rescue you?” He quickly shook his head after his own question: “Doesn’t seem like it! You seemed afraid of being found by them.”
The Pitiful Creature pursed her lips and finally said in a low voice: “You don’t need to guess anymore. Their order should be…… to kill me!!”
Staring at her with his widened eyes, Shaar carefully examined the Pitiful Creature from head to toe for a while. His intense stare made the Pitiful Creature uneasy, and she secretly sighed while hesitating for a while. If this hillbilly questioned her more closely, should she actually tell him about the truth or not. Looking at the situation, she could only depend upon his protection right now……
With a sad look, she said: “This affair originated from a secret scandal in my family ……”
Before she could continue, Shaar suddenly started laughing and stopped her conversation while forcefully patting her shoulder. He almost dislocated the Pitiful Creature’s shoulder with one pat: “Haha! Then, doesn’t it mean that I’ve saved you again just now?! Hey, Pitiful Creature, it looks like your family’s very rich, since they could hire such fierce assassins. If we make it back alive, you should pay me a big protection reward!”
