Sorcerer’s Handbook

Chapter 151: But I Want to Be With You

Freya stood outside the door for a long time, listening to the sizzling sound of hot oil inside. Her hand rested on the doorknob, but she hesitated to turn it.

Only when she heard the neighbors door opening as if they were about to come out, did she muster the courage to push the door open.

Welcome back, dinner is ready.

The usual greeting made Freya hesitate for a moment, Im back.

Do you want to watch College Students Moon or Death Pursuit? Ashe put the food on the table, operating the Screen of Knowledge to prepare tonights dinner show.

College Students Moon is a light comedy about campus life. The protagonist is a goblin with poor academic performance, but after eating Moon Sugar, he enters an extremely intelligent moon mode. In this state, he is nearly invincible in exams and even enters the top university in the Blood Moon Realm with the highest score in the national exam.

However, eating the sugar also brings him many side effects, causing his personality to fluctuate wildly. Sometimes hes quirky, sometimes reliable, sometimes ascetic, sometimes lecherous, sometimes gentle, sometimes violent.

In order to hide his poor academic performance, the goblin has to contend with the side effects while actively participating in college life, leading to a series of comical campus stories.

Frankly, this campus drama is well made. Its fast-paced, with one joke after another, filled with mockery of college life. Even to Ashe, its a rare good show.

The prerequisite is that you can ignore its subtle promotion of the legalization of Moon Sugar.

After Caimon City legalized Moon Sugar, other cities are also actively promoting similar bills. The popularity of College Students Moon could not be achieved without the backing of various interest groups. It could even be said to be a propaganda drama for Moon Sugar, aiming to change the publics negative perception and even make people view Moon Sugar as an everyday consumer product.

By the way, the only brand of Moon Sugar featured in the drama is Snow White, well-known even to Ashe, indicating who the biggest sponsor of the drama is.

On the other hand, Death Pursuit is a fantasy drama. The protagonist is killed by a friend, but at the moment of death, their souls switch. The friends soul dies in the protagonists body, and the protagonist survives in the friends body. To figure out why he was killed, the protagonist impersonates different identities, investigates step by step, experiences death repeatedly, disrupts the villains plans again and again, and unravels layers of mysteries. Its a tightly-paced mystery drama.

Ashe looked at some spoilers and found out that the villain is a cult organization.

No matter how he looked at it, this cult seemed like the Four Pillars, moved like the Four Pillars, and even sounded like the Four Pillars. This was clearly the Four Pillars Religion!

What was more, some people in the reviews were asking, Is this based on the true story of Ashe Heath? Ashe had to defend himself as an innocent bystander this show started airing before I was even apprehended!

College Students Moon, Freya said.

Ashe had no objections and enjoyed his dinner while watching the show, occasionally laughing so hard that his shoulders shook. From time to time, he reached out to rub Xiao Xian, who expressed dissatisfaction before continuing to munch on cat food.

But Freyas attention was not on the drama or the food. Beneath her adorable and enchanting beauty, a complex mix of emotions was simmering. contemporary romance

Adela was right.

Ashe was a dangerous man, Freya had known that for a long time. What she hadnt expected was that in addition to the apparent danger, he was also so malicious inside there was nothing more evil than binding a free spirit.

Even a prison only binds ones body.

Freya couldnt help but recall the materials she had looked up for her paper on Socialized Rearing a few days ago: The blood relationship between the birth giver and the birth receiver is the farthest shackle from freedom. Severing all innate connections is the foundation of personal freedom All dependencies between people are betrayals to freedom.

Besides, the moral education she had received over the past decade also surfaced in her mind.

Human nature is the hardest color to depict. He might be a good person today, but he could become a criminal who extinguishes humanity tomorrow. When you trust someone wholeheartedly, it means they can hurt you at will.

Dont have any expectations of others. Other people are hell.

Trust only yourself, be responsible only for yourself, live only for yourself, die only for yourself.

The best equality is that I cant take advantage of you, but you also cant take advantage of me complete and utterly unrelated equality. Only when people have no connection can they have space to breathe freely.

Never let someone plant a seed in your heart.

Freya stole a glance at Ashe, finding him laughing so hard he was about to spit out his food, his mouth corner smeared with a streak of cream. Faced with this ogre-like table manners, Freya felt no discomfort in her heart. Instead, she had a strange impulse she wanted to lick off that streak of cream with her tongue.

This is too terrifying, thought the Bewitcher.

Adela was right, while she still had her sanity, she needed to swiftly sever this relationship and banish Ashe from her life.

Otherwise, she wouldnt be able to maintain her complete self, but would degrade into a slave of emotion, bound by elusive relationships, completely lose her freedom in personality, become a vassal of social relations, and turn into an empty shell.

No wonder Ashe is the leader of a cult. If all the followers of the Four Pillars Religion are this shameless people trying to pollute others, that indeed needs to be strictly cracked down on.

No wonder she felt repelled and wanted to stay away from Ashe. Thinking about how she might closely observe every move of Ashes in the future, feel happy because Ashe is happy, feel sad because Ashe is sad, willing to give everything for Ashe, her heart would surge surge

with a full of trepidation expectation?

No, Freya, you are a Bewitcher with an independent personality, you must not succumb to the despicable means of a cult leader!

You need to muster the courage to drive him out of this apartment!

Without him, you can become better!

Speak up after this meal!

Speak up after washing the dishes!

Wait until this homework is done and then

Ill be leaving tonight.

Freya jerked her head up, Where are you going?

Where a jailbreaker should go. Ashe put on his coat and mask, Im very grateful for your care these past few days. Well, though I feel like Ive been taking care of you more.

So, so soon? Freya was a bit flustered, Its not the seventh day yet

Although the deadline is seven days, I have already found the information I need in the past few days, so theres no need to linger. Ashe summoned his Compassion Art Spirit, Youre not a Sorcerer yet, right? Do you have a container to store the spirit?

I, I do. Freya went to open a cabinet, I have a Glowing Sphere that can temporarily store a spirit

Ashe waited for a while, watching Freya still rummaging there, then went over and picked up a transparent spherical container, Is this it?

Ah, yes, thats it. Freya scratched her head in embarrassment, Oh, it was right here, how did I not see it?

Ashe put the Compassion Art Spirit into the Glowing Sphere and cut off his own connection with the spirit. The sphere suddenly glowed, and then the Compassion Art Spirit stretched lazily as if it had fallen asleep.

Here. Ashe handed the Glowing Sphere to Freya, Our contract is complete.

Okay.

Please keep my identity under wraps after I leave. After all, you are essentially sheltering an escapee. It might cause you trouble. Although Ive done my best to avoid the neighbors, someone might have seen me around. If anyone asks, just say that you picked me up from the barista, and I just so happened to not die after you were done with me.

Okay.

Ashe crouched down and looked at Xiao Xian, stroking its head. Goodbye, dont bear the pain on your own in the future. Shout out if it hurts, or nobody will know.

He stood up, looking at Freya, and smiled, Well, wish you peace and happiness, Freya.

Freya didnt respond.

She stared at Xiao Xian, as if the fold-ear cat had suddenly turned into a strange creature she didnt recognize. She couldnt take her eyes off it.

Ashe didnt mind and walked past her towards the entrance.

Will you come back?

Ashe replied while putting on his shoes, No, if things go as planned, I will be doing something big tonight. Coming back to find you will only bring you trouble.

Where will you live then?

Ill be homeless, I might have to leave Caimon City. Ill figure something out.

Sounds miserable.

It is quite miserable. The reason why tonights dinner was so lavish was because I foresaw that Id be living quite miserably for the next month. Consider it my last joy.

As Ashes right hand grasped the door handle, his left hand was also held by someone.

He turned his head and saw Freya clutching his wrist tightly.

Ashe felt something, Do you want me to stay?

No. Freya shook her head, I dont want you to continue to stay in this apartment.

But I want to go with you.
