I, the Masked Swordsman, started my journey through a Lostbelt.

She had a pair of moist eyes like blue jade, and her long, light pink hair cascaded down her delicate cherry-like cheeks.

Her skin was as white and delicate as fresh snow.

It looks delicate and breathtaking.

Her bright red lips were as alluring as poppies, and her high, firm breasts strained against her clothes.

Even old-fashioned country clothes cannot conceal her beauty.

It's hard to imagine that this is the kind of beauty a village girl should have.

Even if you said she was the beautiful daughter of some famous noble family, no one would be surprised.

"But didn't I fail to attract Mr. Du Wei?"

"Perhaps not entirely. Maybe I was attracted by her beauty."

Du Wei sat with a girl under a dead tree in the forest.

The fallen trees exuded a putrid smell.

It appears to have fallen recently, but the delicate texture on its surface reveals its beauty and resilience as a tree.

Unfortunately, it was eaten away and hollowed out by termites that had infested it.

"If I could attract a gentleman like Mr. Du Wei... I would be quite happy..."

"What if I say I was joking?"

"Ugh... Mr. Du Wei, are you teasing me...?"

Anna's cheeks flushed with embarrassment and anger.

After being rescued, she realized that Du Wei was not a person in the village, and she also had a feeling that he was different from everyone else.

His colors seemed completely different.

It was something I had never encountered before.

There was no hypocrisy in his words, nor did he show any special treatment because of her beauty.

I couldn't help but want to reveal the truth in my conversation with him.

It was like seeing a ray of light shining into a mud pit; instinctively, I desperately wanted her to seize the opportunity.

"Who knows? Let's leave this wild boar to be dealt with; it's a way of thanking me for chatting with you."

"No, no need. This is your prey. I only said something trivial. And it's too much."

Anna waved her hand, somewhat flattered.

In the relatively underdeveloped late 18th century, being able to eat meat was already a great blessing.

Not to mention bringing back so many.

It was indeed impractical for a woman to bring a whole wild boar, so Du Wei decided to only cut off part of the meat.

"Is this okay?"

Du Wei handed the meat to her as if to shut her up.

Even Anna herself was speechless.

Since he had received her help, Du Wei had no reason not to repay her.

Anna actually really liked Du Wei's unpretentious and earnest attitude; just talking to him made her feel quite comfortable.

"Won't you like to come and sit in the village for a while?"

"I'll consider it later. I plan to wander around the neighborhood first."

Du Wei politely declined Anna's offer.

He planned to use his inspiration to survey his surroundings and then consider Anna's suggestion after settling in.

Anna was a little downcast after being rejected.

But she still managed a charming smile and said, "Well, if you're coming, please let me entertain you. It would be a way of repaying you for saving me."

"Oh, alright."

Du Wei gave a helpless smile.

It seems Anna is no less meticulous than him.

The two then parted ways.

Anna was still thinking about Du Wei as she walked down the street.

She savored the comfortable feeling of being completely open with Du Wei, as if she was at her freest then.

But he said he would consider it later.

Let's wait and see.

I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with him again, and feel that I don't have to wear that tiring mask of pretense when we're together.

It's nothing like being in a village.

This chance encounter brought Anna a joy she had never felt before.

As for why such feelings exist...

This all started with Anna's living environment.

Anna was born into a farming family, yet she possessed a beauty that was disproportionate to her social status. Isn't such bloodline good?

She wasn't the kind of person who was happy to flaunt her superiority.

As a young girl, she likes beautiful figures, cute things, and also yearns for glamour.

Requesting flowers?

Anna possessed a beauty that no one else in the village had.

Therefore, countless women were jealous behind the scenes, while men were only interested in her beauty.

A gem was born from the rotting mud.

The mud resented her uniqueness and the fact that she possessed a beauty that others did not have.

Normally, people don't treat him with sincerity.

In this cold, stinking place, which is like a sewer, sometimes even breathing feels like you're going to die.

This was the first time she had met someone like Du Wei.

I caught a glimpse of that pure and flawless radiance, and I couldn't help but want to reach out and grasp it.

Therefore, I longed for it and yearned for it.

However, the girl's every move, even her daily life, could be seen by the villagers.

. ..... ....

This also shows a lack of self-awareness.

If you stick out the foot that's being grabbed, you'll be pulled down.

In that isolated village, she failed to notice the fact that was an absolute law; it could only be described as negligence.

Du Wei's gift of gratitude led to a bad outcome.

In an age where superstition is taken for granted, no compelling or plausible reason is needed.

Bringing back delicious meat would be enough to drag her down with him.

Unable to contain his anger, he argued with the villagers who were talking about a distorted version of his encounter with Du Wei.

This, in turn, led to the beginning of madness.

Amidst a storm of fervor, the villagers' suppressed negative emotions erupted like a powder keg.

The hypocritical and cruel witch trial begins.

Everything happened so suddenly.

The discomfort was like falling from heaven to hell, as if everything in reality was rejecting me.

Today should have been a joyous day.

For the first time, I realized that things would be different if it were that person; he was decisively different from everyone else in the empty village.

They wanted to wait for his arrival in the village.

Once again, we discussed things like we had before, and I had those immature romantic fantasies like a young girl.

I want to get closer to that kind of purity and authenticity.

Those who know about the wrath of the gods should also know that this is the witch of dies, right?
