I Just want a Peaceful life-Chapter 501 Sick Anna

"You are the one that is old!!" retorted Draught.

"Sure.. Sure..." said the blue-haired man nonchalantly.

After thinking for a while, "Just help that boy if you have an opportunity." said Draught before focusing back on his work.

"Hmm… I will see what I can do." said the blue-haired man before disappearing.

? At the same time, a group of cloaked people gathers at a massive plot of land in Firuman. Despite their suspicious and mysterious appearance, the group is very lax, as fifth-grade combatants are the weakest among them.

With this kind of combat power, they could even go to war with a strong kingdom. In the surrounding area, people could find countless corpses lying around. If people look closer, they can see most of these corpses wearing a particular emblem in their clothes or armor.

Most of these emblems come from all the prominent religious groups in Firuman. Still, none of the people care about this as if it has nothing to do with them.

"Tch… Why the hell every time we gather, it always rains?!!" complained a green-haired woman who was the only one not hiding her appearance.

"Ohh… Come on, greeny. You know it is because of the leader." said a person with a cloak as she casually leaned her arm toward the green-haired woman.

Unexpectedly, the green-haired woman didn't fight from such a close gesture with the person.

"Anyway, I never thought they were so stupid to send this much force just to catch you." said the person beside the green-haired woman.

"Phoenix and those people have clashed since ancient times." replied the green-haired woman without a cold expression.

"Really?? But, is the rumor true?" asked the other woman.

"About what?" asked the green-haired woman back.

"If people drink your blood or eat your heart, will they become immortal like you?" asked the woman.

"And what if it is true? Will you try to hunt me down?" asked the green-haired woman coldly.

"Err… That's…" as the other woman felt the green-haired, piercing emerald eyes.

One wrong answer, she will turn to ash without anyone able to help her.

"Lea, don't bother Ms. Green Goose too much." said another cloaked person in a meditative position.

"Who is talking to you, sword maniac?!!" retorted Lea at the other person as she didn't like getting help from the person.

"Hahaha… It seems all of you are as lively as always." said a blue-haired man who appeared out of nowhere.

"Leader!!" greeted everyone.

"Anyway, I'm also curious about this immortality rumor? Care to share your thoughts Ms. Green Phoenix?" said the blue-haired man.

"Tch… Fine. I also don't know if this is true since I never met any immortal person from consuming Phoenix's heart, blood, or any part of us. But, I stumbled upon some research about it in the past."

"Theoretically, it is possible to become an eternal being or immortal after consuming us. However, there are stringent requirements for it, and it is also not guaranteed success." explained Green Goose.

"May I know what this requirement is?" asked the blue-haired man.

"I can't reveal it, but it is impossible to fulfill it." said Green Goose.

"Even in this world?" asked the blue-haired man back.

"Yes. It is impossible." replied Green Goose shortly.

"Interesting… But, coming from such a person like you, it must be true. Well, no matter. Alright, let's go, everyone." said the blue-haired man as he walked away.

The other cloaked man followed their leader without speaking, but they still thought about Green Goose's revelation. Although becoming immortal is enticing, it is worth little to them.

They could achieve that ability with their power if they reach seventh grade. Every person in the group has the capability and talent to reach that level. All they need is just an opportunity.

"Leader, where are we going next?" asked Lea.

"Same as usual, where the world wants us to be." said the blue-haired man casually.

The next day, Angus and Jayna woke up early, like usual. Just as they want to prepare for their morning routine, they find Anna with a pained expression in her sleep.

"Anna!!" called the couple in worry.

"Urgg.. Angus, Big sis, Anna feels weird." replied Anna as she slowly opened her pitch-black eyes.

As Angus touches Anna's hand, he finds she is burning hot, like having a high fever *ACHOOO* *Crack* Suddenly, Anna sneezes loudly and somehow damages the reinforced wall far in the front.

"Mmm… Anna's nose is itchy." said Anna as she got a runny nose.

Jayna immediately pulls out a cloth and helps the little girl release her snot. In the meantime, Angus begins to check Anna's body. Unfortunately, her body is the same except for her sudden running nose and high fever.

Moreover, Angus didn't find any symptoms of the usual cold sickness in her body besides the two first signs.

"Hmm… She also still has her previous body strength." said Angus checking Anna's warm hand.

*ACHOOO* Once again, Anna sneezes loudly and releases strong airwaves.

"Jayna, take Anna to the bath first. I will ask help from Darren and Mira." said Angus as he changed his clothes and went out of the room.

After another fifteen minutes, Darren and Mira gather in their room. Anna is sitting on the bed with Angus and Jayna beside her. As Anna feels unwell, she refuses to separate from them.

"Anna, sick?" asked Mira with a doll-like expression.

"Umm… Mira, morning." greet Anna.

*ACHOOO* Anna sneezes again and releases another strong airwave in front of her. Fortunately, Mira could easily dodge this kind of thing. Then, she put her small hand on Anna's head while stroking it slowly.

"Mmmm… Anna, fine." said Mira as she retracted her hand.

"Master Mira, how is it? Is Anna okay?" asked Angus anxiously.

"Mmhm." replied Mira with a silent nod.

Hearing Mira's reply, Angus feels relieved a little bit. However, seeing the high fever Anna with a runny nose, Angus still worries about her since this is the first time the little invincible gets sick. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

Knowing Angus' worry, "Young Baron Angus, if I may?" asked Darren as he offered his hand to check Anna.

"Sure." said Angus.

Then, Darren begins to cast a few invisible probing spells in an unknown language.

"Hmm.. I see." said Darren as he understood Anna's condition.

"Master Darren, did you find anything?" asked Angus.

"Don't worry, Young Baron. Lady Anna is fine, like the Master's word. It is quite hard to explain her condition in detail with words. To put it simply, she is in some sort of growing phase. After a while, she will go back to herself." explained Darren.

"I see… That's a relief." said Jayna beside Anna while hugging her.

With her high fever, Anna also feels cold from the outside. Hence, Jayna stays beside Anna to keep her warm.

"So, she only needs to rest and she will be fine." said Angus as he rubbed Anna's small head.

"On the contrary, she must not rest too much. As she grows, her body also… kind of restructures and adapts. But, rather than resting and sleeping on the bed, she must go outside and do the usual activity."

"Cannot rest too much?!" asked Angus as he saw Anna sneezing again.

"I apologize, Young Baron Angus. It is really a unique condition that is hard to describe. But resting and staying in bed without moving only will make things worse for Lady Anna. In the worst case, she will fall into slumber and one knows when she will wake up." explained Darren.

"What!!" replied Angus and Jayna in shock as they looked at the little girl in worry.

"*ACHOOO* Angus, Big sis, Am I going to die?" asked Anna with tears.

"No, Anna. You are not going to die." said Jayna as she realized the little girl's feelings.

It has been a while since Anna didn't use the word I again. It means she is really in a vulnerable state more than her nightmare condition. Realizing this, the couple hugs Anna and reassures her that everything is alright.

Then, Mira and Darren leave their room to give them more privacy. A few minutes later, Aunt Extalia enters their room and sees Anna's loud sneeze. Angus explains Anna's condition to their aunt to not make her worry.

Fortunately, King Leon had returned to the Heart Kingdom before sunrise. Otherwise, the situation will become more complicated.

"I see… So, she is going to be fine after a while. But, did you think it was okay for her to go out?" asked Aunt Extalia while looking at Anna.

To them, Anna's sneeze is just a strong airwave, but it has enough force to push a fourth-grade combatant away. Even first-grade combatants could seriously get hurt if they stood in front of her sneeze.

"Well, we don't have any choice. Besides, we can't leave Anna behind in this condition. She felt too insecure and vulnerable now" replied Angus.

"Fine. Then, I will pick you up before noon. Make sure to get ready." said Aunt Extalia as she walked out of the room.

"Err… Aunt Extalia?" called Angus.

"Is there something else?" asked Aunt Extalia while stopping her walk.

"I-I think you should wear high-neck clothes or clothes without revealing your skin." said Angus.

Hearing this, Aunt Extalia immediately looks at the nearby mirror for a moment before disappearing into her room with a red face. Angus and Jayna also hear their Aunt scream Leon's name.
