The fully enclosed carriage rocked back and forth, it was quite amusing to sit in.

Three hours ago, that's what I thought, but now I hate the bumpy road.

Sitting in the carriage with my wife, it felt like sitting in an egg vibrator. I just couldn't understand, this was clearly a dirt road, how could it be so bumpy?

"Driver, can we stop for a moment?"

"Sorry, Mr. Raul, our convoy has regulations. We stop together, and we go together."

"Can I take over the reins then?"

"Well, you could, but I don't dare to stay in the carriage with your wife..."

"Are you saying my wife is scary-looking?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that..."

"If she's scary, then all the more reason not to let you, even if you dare, I won't agree!"

I leaned back into the carriage, wanting to say something to my wife, but my lower teeth hit my upper teeth and my mouth went numb.

Damn, when will we reach the grassland?

I took out a cigarette and opened the glass doors on both sides of the carriage. When I feel annoyed, I have to smoke one, or else I might start a fight with the coachman. My wife stared at me, and I suddenly remembered that she had learned how to smoke during the time I was away.

"Wife, take a puff and let me see."

"Okay."

She tried to reach for it, but I didn't let her. I held the cigarette and brought it to her mouth to watch how she would smoke.

A beautiful woman blowing smoke really has a teasing allure. I enjoy watching it, but I can't let her learn how to smoke.

"This puff will be your last puff."

"Why?"

"Because you are going to have my child, and smoking is not good for your body."

"If it's not good for the body, why do you smoke?"

"That's because... I can't stop... smoking."

I was afraid she would ask me that, I felt she could never understand the problem of addiction.

"Then I won't smoke anymore."

She didn't ask any further questions, and simply listened to me! Unbelievable!

Yes, she is different from before. She can see the expression on my face when I'm in a difficult situation, and she won't question me about it. Maybe my language skills have improved, and I can articulate clear sentences, or maybe during the time we were apart, she changed, matured, and began to think like a human being.

I recall when we departed in the morning, Simmon specifically arranged a coachman for us and let us ride in a carriage. After confirming that everyone and everything were accounted for, Grei waved goodbye to us. No one intended to get on the carriage, they all gathered around me and my wife.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

"We are waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Raul to get on the carriage~"

Seeing Wolfrang's playful smile, I understood. You're not waiting for us, you're waiting to see how I carry my wife onto the carriage! Well, it's fun for you, isn't it? Even for me, it's difficult to get on this carriage. It's nearly a meter high, and there's a step that can be used as a foothold. The door is low, I have to bend down to get in. Just as I was figuring out how to get my wife into the carriage, she started climbing in by herself. It's very difficult for Medusa to climb stairs, regardless of which Medusa it is. Even if I turned the carriage over, she still wouldn't be able to get on.

"I'll carry you."

Without giving my wife a choice, I lifted her up.

"Tail, put it here."

"Be careful not to hit your head."

"Slowly, put down the bow and arrows."

As long as I engage the muscles on each finger, it's not difficult to carry Medusa. Seeing her inch closer to the carriage, I clapped my hands to express that this physical activity was nothing for me, as a "Medusa's husband". It's a normal thing to do, if we come back from shopping and my wife says she's tired and can't walk, shouldn't the husband carry his wife up the stairs?

Accepting Medusa means accepting the fact that she can't climb stairs.

Why am I saying this with such confidence...

Just now, she didn't wait for me to carry her like before, she tried to climb into the carriage by herself, not wanting to trouble me with such small things. Is this her expression of understanding as a wife? After our separation, we have finally undergone a transformation. A monster that was originally described as barbaric and simple has gained a thinking pattern that is closer to humans through our emotional collision. I have gradually accepted Medusa's habits and traits.What can a human who can't use magic and can't fight like a swordsman change, what can they accomplish?

My wife is the answer.

On this land where we have shed blood, there will definitely be a story that will be passed down, a story of Mr. Raul and Mrs. Raul.

Ah, never mind the everlasting love, the carriage has finally stopped.

I asked my wife to stay in the carriage while I jumped out to find Wolfrang.

"Wolfrang, come here, I need to talk to you."

"What's wrong?"

"Well, um, let's switch carriages."

"Switch carriages? Why?"

"My wife, you see, she's not used to riding in this kind of carriage..."

"Do you know how to drive a carriage? There are a lot of vegetables on mine and Leya's carriage."

"I can drive a carriage, don't worry."

"Well... let me ask Leya then."

"Why do you need to ask her? It's just switching carriages, it's not like I'm taking a piece of you."

"Raul, is there something else bothering you?"

"It's nothing, I just find this type of carriage uncomfortable."

After much persuasion, he finally agreed. I really had no other plans, I just felt suffocated in the enclosed carriage, and I was always worried about what was happening outside. But I never expected the werewolf to squeeze into the carriage on all fours, just like a dog jumping through a hoop in a circus. And I had to sit sideways because the werewolf's shoulders were too broad.

Once we got on the carriage, Wolfrang regretted it immediately, his nose twisted in regret. With this type of carriage, it was already cramped for Medusa and me, and when he and Leya got on, they were practically face to face.

"La-"

"Thump!"

Just as Wolfrang was about to speak, I closed the carriage door, watching the werewolf's large face pressed against the window. I couldn't help but laugh. Raul, I don't want to switch carriages anymore! Raul, let me get off! Raul, you tricked me! Those were probably what Wolfrang wanted to say. It's too late, my wolf buddy, farewell~

Like a willow that accidentally took root, that's me. You take care of your relationship with Leya, brother can only help you this far!

My wife and I sat on the vegetable cart, with me driving and her sitting on my lap.

"Attention, convey!"

That was the command for the caravan, it seemed like it was going downhill up ahead.

Downhill, oh haha, I wonder what will happen between Wolfrang and Leya in the carriage? Ah, I really want to see! As I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Honey, what are you laughing at?"

"Oh, nothing, Wolfrang and Leya might have a good thing going."

"Good thing?"

"Yeah, think about it, they're sitting in the same carriage now..."

"Ah... I see. Hehehe~"

"I'm telling you, they might be in the same position as us right now."

"I really want to see that, a succubus and... a werewolf~"

"Yeah, a succubus and werewolf. When will we be able to call Wolfrang 'Mrs. Wolfrang?'"

When it comes to gossip and teasing, my wife and I just naturally sync up.

Before we could chat for much longer, the command from the caravan kept coming. It was "Be aware of the road," "Slow down," and "Be on guard" respectively. The first trading stop was about to begin. I checked the black merchant emblem on my waist and the pistol. This time, we brought a total of six emblems because we were going into the territory of some dangerous monsters. Even Simmon couldn't guarantee that all monsters would recognize these emblems. There was always the possibility of fighting with monsters.

The "White Queen" Leya and the "Grayback" Wolfrang were also insurance for this black caravan. The monsters might have heard of their names. In crucial moments, they might be able to avoid fights, and even if they fought, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

As for my wife... now she could only rely on petrification magic, her archery and magic arrows weren't as strong as they used to be.

"Wife, can you check the bullets in the gun for me?"

"Uh... you don't have to put your hand in your pants."

After making sure I could show the emblem at any time or draw and shoot my gun at any time, I asked my wife to prepare her bow and arrows as we could already smell the breath of the swamp. Decay and fermentation, invisible microorganisms were important players in maintaining the balance of nature, and they were not to be messed with. So even from afar, they warned humans with their scent: "Watch your step."The pace of the Fangtooth Horse slowed down, as the increased moisture in the soil made each hoof's movement a bit laborious. The wheels of the carriage closed their mouths and everyone could only silently endure the creaking and groaning of the wooden axles and carriage frame.

"Stop the carriage, relay the message!"

The black merchants acted in unison, bringing the carriage to a stop, and no one took it upon themselves to get off and run around.

"Get off the carriage, relay the message!"

I let my wife get off first, then I followed suit. The direction of the caravan was southeast, and if we were to go west now, we should be able to reach the werewolf tribe. This environment is obviously more suitable for Saprovore, but I left little August behind in Night Fall Town! Oh, I promised August to show him this world, and now I forgot about him.

"Phew~"

Huh? Didn't I leave you in the guest room? When did you run out? Looking at little August rolling on the ground, I couldn't understand it for a moment. I asked my wife, but she didn't know either. Later, when I picked it up and took a sniff, I finally understood. This little guy hid inside a wine barrel, no wonder he looked like he was drunk. Saprovore is smarter than I thought.

Anyway, since you're here, let's go see Wolfrang and the others now.

Hmm, it's obvious Wolfrang is not happy, even though Leya is sitting on his lap. It's many men's dream to have a succubus sitting on their laps, why are you giving me that stare? If I didn't suggest changing the carriage, would you two be able to have such intimate contact?

"Wolfrang, Raul, come here."

Simmon and Park called us over, and only then did I notice that the black merchants had unloaded two whole carriages of beef. Two whole cars of beef is a concept, it's like cutting a cow in half and using it. There are probably about ten cows on the two carriages. If this meat is sold to the Medusa tribe, I can understand, but if it's sold to a monster, then...

"From now on, everyone be careful. I'll lead the way, Wolfrang and Park follow me, and then Raul and your wife. Leya, stay here and blow the horn if there's any trouble. We'll have another ten people to help with the transportation."

Simmon seemed like a different person, commanding everyone with a leadership presence that could not be cultivated in just a day or two. We lined up in two columns according to Simmon's command, heading towards the direction where the forest became denser and moisture grew heavier.

"Simmon, what are we..."

"This is no longer just a mere trade or business, we're risking our lives here."

"Risking our lives...?"

"Yes, do you find it terrifying to be captured by a succubus?"

"Well, it is terrifying."

"But how would you describe a situation where taking a breath could cost you your life? The word terrifying is not enough, right?"
