I don't want to be a dragon maid!

The farce at Baihua Square has come to an end.

Later, the Flower Magician arrived at the scene. After understanding the situation, he sent Noah and Shelley home.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to pay Noah his wages for the day, plus... a whole cartload of healing herbs.

Although the medicinal herbs used to treat wounds are very cheap, the price of a whole cartload is quite different, especially since they are all of extremely high quality, the kind that are one in a thousand.

If you were to take it to the market, you could probably buy a two-story villa on the outskirts of Snow Eagle City.

Before leaving, the Flower Mage thoughtfully hired a carriage to help Noah transport the entire carriageload of healing herbs home.

Noah once again felt the warmth of the Flower Mage, and the two formed a friendship.

As for Anne and Margaret, they have been sleeping ever since they sobered up and haven't woken up yet. The only ones who came to say goodbye were the Flower Wizard and the somewhat absent-minded Oz.

After expressing their gratitude and bidding farewell, Noah and Shelley also sat in the carriage, following the healing herbs on board, and went home together.

Throughout the journey, Shelley was always secretly observing Noah.

Although Noah had said that he was himself and would not change, Shelley was still uneasy. She had so many questions she wanted to ask, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.

"Lord Shelley, what's wrong? Would you like a lap pillow?"

Noah also noticed Shelley's expression. She slapped her thigh and said with a smile.

"Oh dear, Lady Shelley, really, do you want to act all cute with me?"

"Who wants to act cute with you, you idiot!"

Shelley said angrily.

"I just wanted to ask you, how's the injury to your hand?"

"Injury? What injury?"

Noah said with a puzzled look.

"When you tried to stop me just now, didn't you grab my ice blade with your hand?"

Shelley looked at Noah and quickly said.

"I saw it clearly, your right hand was cut open with a big gash, it's this wound!"

"Oh……"

Noah looked down at his right hand; although it was covered in blood, there wasn't a single wound.

The terrifying wound from before had healed without Noah even noticing...

"Noah, how is it? Has your wound been healed with healing magic?"

Shelley slowly approached Noah and asked with a worried expression.

Noah had a sudden inspiration. She gently ran her thumb across her finger, and the open wound reappeared on Noah's finger.

"Ouch! It hurts so much! I feel like I'm dying!"

Noah held up her bleeding wound, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Shelley, saying loudly.

"Lord Shelley, look, the bleeding just won't stop! Noah... Noah, I'm going to bleed to death."

"But you looked so calm just now, how could you change like this in the blink of an eye?"

Shelley looked at Noah, who was rolling around on the ground, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

"Well...maybe, perhaps, maybe, my injuries just suddenly worsened like that..."

Noah rolled her eyes and said with a pitiful look.

"Sigh, really? Your injuries didn't worsen for so long, but they've gotten worse just because I wanted to take a look!"

Shelley looked at Noah, her face full of speechlessness.

"Is this world really made up of a lot of coincidences?"

Noah was covered in sweat, and she raised her right hand, speaking in a flustered manner.

"Really? Noah, where's your healing magic?"

Shelley continued to ask.

“Lady Shelley, healing magic also has a limited number of uses, and I’ve already used up my monthly limit…”

Noah, seeing Shelley's gaze, grew increasingly suspicious. She puffed out her cheeks slightly, putting on a pitiful expression.

"Lord Shelley, Noah is about to bleed to death, yet you remain unmoved and even question me. Am I no longer the little darling of your heart?"

"Get lost! Who's your little darling? No, I'm not your little darling... uh, not even..."

Shelley seemed flustered, and she stammered as she spoke.

"Anyway, you know what I mean!"

"I know, I know, Lord Shelley, please save me!"

Noah looked at Noah, her eyes sparkling, her face full of anticipation.

"There is only one way to save Noah, and only Lord Shelley can do it."

"Tell me, what's the method?"

Shelley looked at Noah warily and spoke cautiously.

"It's very simple. All you need to do is for Lady Shelley to gently kiss my wound, and it will heal as quickly as possible."

Noah looked at Shelley with a serious expression, and the expectation in her eyes became even more obvious.

"I would call this therapy the Angel's Kiss. ​​Just one kiss and any wound will heal... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Before Noah could finish speaking, she couldn't help but cry out in pain. Shelley, standing to the side, wore a strange smile. She held a face towel in one hand and pinched Noah's right hand with the other, then slowly increased the pressure.

"An angel's kiss? You perverted maid, are you trying to take advantage of me? Noah, you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to flirt with your master like this."

"It's not about taking advantage of you! For me, Lord Shelley's kiss has such a magical effect! Oh dear, Lord Shelley, don't be so rough, my wound is going to open up again."

Noah wore a wry smile, seemingly caught between pain and pleasure as Shelley held his hand.

"Fool!"

Seeing Noah's silly antics, Shelley felt a huge weight lift from her heart.

Indeed, Noah is Noah, Noah who belongs only to himself, and his worries were just needless.

Shelley had this thought, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she kept a straight face and took out a water bottle from her bundle.

Shelley picked up a few Blue Soul Grasses from the side, chewed them a few times, spat out the chewed residue, and applied it little by little to Noah's wound.

Shelley then poured water from the jug onto a handkerchief, and used the damp handkerchief to wipe Noah's blood-stained palms.

She was extremely careful and meticulous in these actions, afraid of hurting Noah.

"Hehehe, Lady Shelley is such a tsundere!"

Noah watched Shelley wipe her wounds, a happy smile on her face, and said softly.

Shelley glared at Noah, then with a slight exertion of force, Noah once again begged for mercy in pain.

"Serves you right, who told you to block that knife! You ended up getting hurt yourself."

Shelley looked at Noah and said somewhat sullenly.

"Lord Shelley, do you think Noah would harm you?"

Noah suddenly became serious. She looked at Shelley and said gently.

Chapter 81 Endure, and then become stronger!

"will not!"

Shelley looked at Noah and said without hesitation.

"Yes, I will not harm Lord Shelley, just as Lord Shelley will not harm me!"

Noah looked at Shelley with a smile.

"Noah, are you saying that if I had slashed out with that blade, I would have been the one who got hurt?"

Shelley immediately thought of the answer, and she looked at Noah with a serious expression.

Noah did not answer, but quietly took out the red gem flower. Even though Shelley did not like gems, she was still attracted by the beautiful big gem flower.

"Noah, where did you come from?"

Shelley asked curiously.

“This was obtained through a deal with that man. Isn’t it beautiful, Lady Shelley?”

Noah played with the flower in her hand and said with a smile.

"It's just a pity that the more beautiful the flower, the more thorns it has, and this flower is no exception. It has the same curse array as that man."

"The same magic circle?"

Shelley stared at the gem flower, her eyes wide, but she couldn't see any magic flowing through it.

“Watch closely, Lord Shelley.”

Noah smiled slightly, stretched out her palm, and then forcefully chopped at the gem flower, as if she was about to shatter it with a single chop.

Suddenly, the gem flower began to tremble slightly, and its vines transformed into thin red ropes that abruptly wrapped around Noah's right hand.

Shelley covered her mouth, a hint of fear in her eyes; at this distance, she could see everything clearly.

Those "red ropes" had pointed heads, and their gaping mouths were flailing wildly in Noah's hands, their mouths filled with the sharp teeth of piranhas.

"Destroy!"

Noah slowly uttered a single word. "Red Rope" let out a scream and then turned to ashes.

"This...this is..."

Shelley looked at the ashes in Noah's hand and said softly.

"Bloodworms, a type of worm raised with magic, burrow into a person's body and change their mind."

Noah parted the ashes on his palm with his fingers and patiently explained.
