I feigned feeling unwell and quickly turned my back on Eedrish that day, drifting off to sleep from a distance.
The thought of being in love made it impossible for me to sleep in his arms.
Eedrish seemed to find me strange, but he didn’t pry any further.
Fortunately, the time to get off the train was near.
“Terunya, take care.”
“My lifelong friend, Silla. I’ll miss you. But I’m not worried. I can already hear it. The sound of fate’s wheel leading me to meet Silla again.”
“Ah, yes.”
I just couldn’t get used to hearing it.
But Terunya was not a bad person, of course. Thanks to him, I had a good time.
“Then goodbye, my goddess.”
After getting off the train, Terunya tried to hug me, but Eedrish intervened, making me hug Eedrish instead. Terunya seemed to enjoy it, though. The hugged Eedrish looked disgusted.
Thus, after parting with everyone, only Eedrish and I were left. It felt lonely and awkward for some reason.
At that moment, I heard a familiar voice.
“Eedrun sir! Silla ma’am!”
A round man in overalls.
I almost hugged him out of joy, thinking he was either Zeros or Bigus. He really looked like them!
“Hello, I am Namus, the eldest brother of Zeros and Bigus!”
We exchanged simple greetings and followed his guidance outside. It was a train station of immense scale, unlike the ones where we had stopped a few times before.
This was Central of Derod, where all the trains leading to every territory gathered. Naturally, it was enormous.
When I went outside the train station, I was even more astonished.
It was incomparable to Nerun’s territory. A completely different world. Women in dresses far more magnificent than my clothes passed by, fanning themselves, and street vendors shouted loudly to attract customers.
Both the poor and the rich seemed busy.
Carriages raised clouds of dust as they ceaselessly went back and forth.
Even steam cars, which I rarely saw in Nerun, occasionally passed by. The loud noise and smoke they emitted made me realize that this place was indeed a city.
Eedrish leaned over and brought his face to mine.
“Wow, surprised, what are you doing?”
“What are you staring at so intently? Are the cars fascinating?”
Well, in a different sense, they were indeed intriguing.
“Yes.”
“You wouldn’t want to ride them. Resist that. I really dislike cars.”
“Why?”
“They’re noisy, and there’s no real substance.”
Mogus suddenly interjected in our conversation.
“That’s right. Cars are just for show. It takes forever to start, and often, the engine stops in the middle of the road. Honestly, only those who like to show off ride them.”
Hoho. I see.
“But I’ll buy a car when I earn money later.”
“With what will you earn the money?”
“I don’t know yet? I seem to have a talent for spending money, though.”
I smiled awkwardly.
If Eedrish doesn’t destroy the world, I’ll have to think about my future afterward.
I felt strange.
I had never envisioned or dreamt of my own future in my previous life either.
For the first time, I began to contemplate what I want to do and what I can do.
It was then.
“Excuse me, miss?”
Someone tapped my arm. I stopped and turned around.
An elderly woman with a shawl on her head was the one who called me.
She smiled with an embarrassed face.
“I’m sorry, but can you tell me where Samuel’s house is?”
Obviously, I didn’t know the name. But even if I knew, it would be a problem. There was no way to find a house in such a big city by name alone.
I looked in the direction where Eedrish went. The two had already moved quite far. Fortunately, it was a straight path, so there was no fear of losing them.
Shall I help this person a little? It seems like it’s their first time here. Even the luggage she was holding in her hand looked very heavy. I might not be able to find the way for her, but I thought I could provide some assistance.
“What to do? It’s my first time in Central too. Don’t you know anything other than the name?”
“I have a map and address, but where was it. Can you hold this for a moment?”
The old woman forcibly handed me her heavy luggage. As expected, it was so heavy I had to use both hands.
Ugh, how was she carrying this? She must be strong. Maybe she’s even stronger than me.
“Let’s see, where was it. Not here either…….”
The old lady fumbled in her coat pocket.
That was the moment. People came rushing out of the train station. It was precisely in my direction.
“Ah, don’t push!”
I was suddenly in the midst of the crowd. I exerted all my strength not to drop the old lady’s luggage and to not get swept away.
I was also worried that the old lady might get swept away by the crowd.
“Grandmother, are you alright? Should I grab hold of you?”
What’s going on? Why are there suddenly so many people?
That’s when I thought.
“Agh!”
A man’s scream came from right behind me. I turned around in surprise. Where I had thought the crowd was a moment ago, there were only about seven or eight men. One of them was lying on the ground, writhing and holding his leg, and in front of him was…….
“Idrish?”
Did Idrish hit that man? Why suddenly?
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.
