“Ouch, it hurts…….”
Holding her bumping hips, Delina opened the curtains to gauge where they were. The sun was setting. Delina sighed softly.
It was good that she had safely escaped, but…….
It wasn’t Niely who had assigned skilled knights for her outing. Therefore, it was easy to escape the knights’ watchful eyes, and it was good that she had taken a cart’s cargo compartment with the emergency funds she had saved.
The problem was that the state of that cargo compartment wasn’t very good. Well, she wasn’t exactly wealthy.
Moreover, as a child alone trying to ride something, she attracted attention. In the end, Delina chose a cargo carriage that would likely ignore her as much as possible. However, the ride was far from comfortable.
“Ugh!”
Delina tumbled around in the cargo compartment when the carriage stopped suddenly without warning. Unaware of Delina’s situation, voices of the coachman and others were heard from outside. They were other travelers, riding horses right outside.
“Where did you say you are going now?”
“Just as I said. Go straight. That’s the shortcut.”
“Do you know where you end up if you go straight? It’s absolutely impossible.”
Currently, Delina’s fellow cargo compartment passengers were just the coachman and some rather rowdylooking travelers. They were all somewhat disreputable, and Delina had boarded the cargo compartment with extreme caution because of them.
“Didn’t you hear? Go straight.”
“It’s absolutely impossible. Do you know what lies beyond? It’s the territory of Duke Ulpilim!”
Ulpilim!
The coachman’s voice trembled, but the travelers were indifferent.
“What? Just don’t go near that mansion.”
“It won’t do! You might not know since this is your first time on this road, but Duke Bellion never spares anyone who steps into his territory! If you keep going straight, you’ll all die!”
The coachman was adamant, but the travelers were no pushovers either.
“So you’re saying we should go round and round for days instead of taking this easy road?”
“……”
“And, hey. The duke is not a god. How would he know everyone who enters his territory? It’s just a rumor spread because of the bad reputation of the Bellion Duke family.”
“That’s……”
“We’ll be out of the territory in a few hours. How would Duke Bellion know and come to kill us in that short time? Right?”
The coachman was still hesitating. Then one of the travelers loudly cleared his throat and began to fiddle with his sword.
“Well, this area is indeed dangerous, so it wouldn’t be strange if a coachman disappeared here. Right?”
He was threatening the coachman. The coachman, who had been scared of Duke Bellion, urged the horses forward. The carriage headed toward the shortcut and soon entered the territory of the Ulpilim Duke family.
“This is the Ulpilim Duke’s territory…….”
Delina, who had heard all the conversation from the cargo compartment, swallowed her dry saliva. It was now a name she couldn’t ignore. Pausing to catch her breath, Delina looked out at the landscape.
It was a truly desolate place for a duke’s territory. It was a barren land where not a person nor a flower could be seen. It became eerie as the night fell and the moon rose.
The mansion must be somewhere near since it’s a territory.
At the moment Delina turned her eyes to search for the mansion, the moonlight was blocked by clouds, darkening the view beyond, and dozens of pairs of eyes were twinkling.
“Wo, wolves!”
“……!”
Simultaneously with someone’s shout, the cargo compartment began to jolt even more.
“Ugh……!”
A groan escaped involuntarily as she was thrown against the carriage wall. But that was momentary, soon the furious sound of the beasts filled the surroundings of the carriage.
“Why are there so many wolves……!”
“Don’t, don’t panic! Don’t provoke them either!”
Next, the panicked voices of the people outside began to be heard, and the horses, terrified by the appearance of the wolves, began to run wild.
“Ahh!”
The coachman screamed and fell from the coachman’s seat. As if his scream was a signal, the wolves that had been slowly approaching began to pounce one by one.
“Aah!”
“Save, save me!”
From the start, a few people couldn’t handle dozens of wolves. The travelers were struck down without even having a chance to attack, accompanied by the dying screams.
“…….”
In such a situation, Delina was crouching in a corner of the carriage, holding her breath. However, she couldn’t avoid the wolves’ keen sense of smell. Soon, wolves that had shattered even the carriage door were staring at the crouched Delina.
‘Cacalm down, calm……’
The smell of blood vibrated all around, and dozens of wolves were showing their teeth at Delina right in front of her. Delina took a deep breath, struggling to maintain her composure.
The standoff between Delina and the wolves lasted only a moment, as the largest wolf in the pack approached Delina. Delina quickly pulled a bottle out of her bag and poured it over herself.
“…….”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
