Chapter 117 Riven Said His Back Just Gave Out

“You-1 should call you a pig!”

Annelise was genuinely speechless. I worry about him, and this is the thanks I get? Unbelievable!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she snapped right back at him. “Well then, you’re a turkey. A fire-breathing turkey! What else would you be? And don’t forget you can’t even control your flames. Two compliments and you forget you almost burned your shorts off. Come on then-cluck for me. Go on, gobble-gobble.”

She hit every sore spot Riven didn’t want touched. He flipped out and threw his arms wide, lunging straight at her.

In that instant, Annelise felt as though a giant bird of prey was swooping down on her.

She tried to dodge, but her foot slipped on damp soil, and Riven barreled right into her. knocking her into his arms. “Say that again! You think you’re so grown? I’m older than you! You gobble-no, you should be snorting like a pig!”

At that, he raised his hand to rap her on the head again.

He hit hard. Clearly, this was something he did often with his own kind. Annelise absolutely didn’t want him knocking on her skull again-especially when she hadn’t even been wrong. He was the one who blew up over nothing, like a firecracker waiting for a spark.

She grabbed his wrist tightly. “So what if you’re older? You’re only 33. I’ve got a mate that’s 40 –and one old fossil who’s over 200! Make me mad enough, and I’ll talk back to them all the

same!”

But Riven was too strong. His wrists looked thin, but the moment he flexed, he slipped right out of her grip.

Seeing that smack coming toward her again, Annelise suddenly leaned forward. Her plan was simple: kiss his cheek and stun him into silence. The males here had never been flirted with -Adrian was proof of that.

If I kiss him on the cheek and leave him all confused and flustered, that’ll shut him up. He’ll free, blush -probably have no idea what to do with his own face

But her timing was off. Instead of his cheek, her lips landed squarely on his

“Mmm-huh?” Annelise blinked.

Riven’s eyes flew wide-already big, now round enough to be unsettling. He was frozen, utterly stunned. The hand he’d lifted fell limply

Chapter 117 Riven Said His Back Just Gave ut

When Annelise finally pulled back, he was still string into nothing.

“Hey…” She waved a hand in front of his face.

Riven snapped out of it-only to immediately knock her on the head again.

“Ow! My head-would you stop?!”

Annelise refused to back down. She lunged and bit his lower lip-hard enough to taste a hint of blood before releasing him.

Riven looked even more shocked. He raised his hand again, palm open this time, but just as she braced to block the blow… his hand stopped midair.

Huh? Annelise blinked. She’d thought the fireball would really throw hands with her, but instead of a slap, something else reached her firs…

He smells so good… Wait-no, what kind of thought is that?

She genuinely thought she smelled nice, and it was a sudden outburst.

“Hey, why are you… Why are you giving off that smell?”

Riven instantly pushed her away, fanning the air around him like he could erase it. “I’m not! You smelled wrong!”

But Annelise definitely hadn’t mistaken it. Even though it faded fast, that earlier burst of fragrance had been real.

At that moment, she sensed movement approaching. She scanned the trees and saw the chief walking straight toward them.

“Hey, the chief is coming. You know what to do, right?” She was about to slip away when Riven suddenly grabbed her sleeve.

“Hm? Why are you holding on to me? If the chief sees us together, even an idiot would know something’s going on.”

But Riven still didn’t let go. With his head lowered, he muttered, “I… I’m not in the I can’t help you right now. You have to hide with me.”

ht state.

“What? Dude, how can you fall apart at a time like this?!”

Especially when the chief looks completely oblivious-classic deterioration symptoms!

Just then, Riven bit down on his lip and blurted, My back gave out. I can’t stand up!”
