Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: No Touching!

WACK!

"No touching!"

Calis’ hand was inches from the flame when a stick cracked across his knuckles.

Calis reared back so fast his ears and tail shot straight up, and he clutched his struck hand against his chest with the wide-eyed, affronted expression of a cat who had just been sprayed with water.

"Why did you hit me?"

Tera brandished the stick like a weapon. "You say fire is bad and you are trying to TOUCH IT?!"

Her heart was still pounding from the scare. The fire aside, the way Calis had appeared out of nowhere had shocked her too.

"You touched it."

Tera’s mouth fell open. "I—WHAT?!"

Calis frowned, looking genuinely confused. "You have been holding your hands in the fire. If it was dangerous, why would you also touch it?"

"I am not touching it! I am touching the meat and sticks! There is a massive difference!"

"You put your fingers very close."

"Close is not the same as IN!"

Calis looked down at his hand, flexing his fingers. The skin across his knuckles was slightly reddened from the stick, and he examined it with silent shock.

He never would have expected a shiftless female to deliver such a stinging strike.

Was she really shiftless?

Tera’s irritation immediately deflated when she noticed him inspecting his hand. A bruise was already forming across the back of his knuckles, and she felt guilty.

"Oh no." She grabbed his hand. "I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to hit you that hard. You scared me, and I just reacted."

She turned his hand over in hers, her thumbs pressing gently against the reddened skin as she blew air on the area and rubbed it.

She pouted. "You should have just asked me about the fire instead of reaching for it like a curious cub! It can burn you! No direct touching, ever!"

Calis was not listening.

He was looking at her hands.

They were small, smooth, and completely hairless. Her fingers were soft against his skin, and the warmth of it seeped into his knuckles. Even the gentle pressure of her rubbing felt very nice.

When he realised he was enjoying the sensation too much, Calis ripped his hand out of her grip with a speed that made Tera jump.

"I am fine," he growled, looking away sharply. "I am not weak. A small hit like that would not hurt me."

Tera straightened, eyeing him with open disbelief. "You were just rubbing the bruise—"

"There is no bruise."

"I can literally see it."

"You are seeing things."

[Host is so silly]

[What makes you think your pain tolerance is on the same level as this beast?]

[(˵• ̀⩊•́˵)]

’Nobody asked you!’

Tera laughed dryly, shaking her head. "Fine, Mr big strong wolf."

Calis grunted and adjusted his posture, appearing as if nothing was affecting him, but his eyes were fixed on the meat with an intensity that he was clearly trying to disguise as casual observation. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

But his tail was twitching as if he was fighting the urge to wag it.

Tera bit the inside of her cheek so she wouldn’t laugh. Calis looked strangely adorable despite the seriousness of his face. He looked as excited as the cubs back in the clan whenever any little thing happened.

’Oh, Lord. Help meeeeee.’
