Ru bluntly responded to the cheeky young nobleman who said, “Don’t you know who I am.”
“I don’t know.”
“You’re working here, and you don’t know me? Is this your first time here?”
“If you’re not going to reveal your identity, please leave.”
“It’s clear that you’re here for the first time. Are you from Imperialle?”
He glanced at her. From his tone and posture, he seemed undoubtedly like a knight. She sighed, turned around, and went back to work.
“Oh, why are you leaving? I can’t do business right now because of you!”
The monster inventory warehouse manager glanced at Ru.
A fearless woman with the courage to face anything seemed to be at odds with the disheveled son of Duke Alanka. Who would win? He watched as Ru, after glaring at him with an expression of annoyance, turned back to her work, even forgetting to light her cigarette.
“What do I know? Monster parts are much more popular than what you’re selling.”
Ru’s personality wasn’t great enough to show courtesy to someone speaking in such a way.
“If it’s annoying, sell more popular items. Why are you venting your anger here when we’re busy? Do you not know how to get angry, or do you not know because you don’t know how to get angry?”
Without raising her voice, Ru shot a look of irritation at the person who dared to use banmal, carrying the list she had in her hands on her shoulder.
“Where is there a more popular item than monster organs right now…!”
The son of Duke Alanka, who was blowing off steam, stopped speaking for a moment, seemingly realizing something.
“When will you start selling? Things like flowers and fruits go bad.”
“Monster organs are the same. They rot quickly, so they need to be processed quickly.”
Ha. The son of the duke looked at the sky, laughed as if he found it amusing, then looked at Ru. He wanted to get closer, but Imperialle harshly blocked the way between them, making it impossible.
“What’s your name?”
Instead of answering, Ru stared at him.
“Oh, right. I should start first, huh? I’m Cedric Langberda. I’m from the Eastern Alanka Upper Class. I’m currently the interim supervisor.”
Cedric seemed a bit uncomfortable when he said ‘interim.’ Was it because it was uncomfortable to be temporary, or did he intentionally want to attach ‘temporary’? I don’t know. His reddish aura flowed through his faded brown hair, which swayed in the wind like Cedric’s temperamental head.
“So?”
“Well, I revealed my identity. Now it’s your turn…”
Wasn’t that what you naturally expected and hoped for? Cedric stared at Ru, his mouth closed.
“What does it matter that you’re from the upper class?”
The expression of being extremely annoyed hasn’t changed from the beginning until now.
He looked at her with emotionless green eyes, trying to think of something to say, but unfortunately, he couldn’t think of a single word. While so far the name Alanka was a free pass, it didn’t work in front of this woman.
“When will you start selling?”
The merchants gathered at the port were all aiming for monster organs, so they didn’t consider buying anything else.
Monster organs needed to be sold quickly for the safe sale of goods, including those from the Eastern nobility like Alanka’s upper class. Therefore, the date when the Imperial directly sold monster organs in the market was crucial. Cedric unintentionally stumbled over his words and asked, “I don’t know exactly, but if you don’t interfere with my work, it will probably be faster.”
Ru prevented Cedric Langber from saying anything more and turned back to work.
[Star Icon]Since the headquarters didn’t plan to send more people, Ru, Francis Gray, and warehouse manager Thomas had to handle everything from inventory check and organization to sales.
Thomas, who had worked at the port for a long time, wondered how these two would resolve the situation. Honestly, he expected it to fail when Francis Gray cried and vomited. Surprisingly, monster corpses started selling that afternoon.
“Lycan Slope’s liver.”
Francis Gray, whose face turned pale, firmly held the list Ru had written and said in a voluminous voice, “How much is there?”
“Um, 50 kg.”
“I’ll take only 20 kg!”
“Then I’ll buy the rest!”
They quickly identified the easy-to-handle items and immediately sold them in the order they identified.
Thanks to this, the area right in front of the warehouse guarded by Imperialle became crowded with merchants. There was no time to have a meal. Thomas supervised the merchants taking the goods to the ship, and Francis, excluding the merchants who had caused a commotion earlier in the morning, handled the sales.
Boxes containing organs with magic to maintain freshness were lined up. Despite maintaining freshness with magic, there was still a limit. They needed to sell as quickly as possible, or the area would be covered in the stench of decay.
“Ugh, there’s nothing good.”
“If you don’t want it, then don’t buy it! I’ll take your lungs! Give them to me!”
“Do you have anything like Caropas’s horns? Or bones!”
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.
