In the end, I chose to corner myself voluntarily so that my heightened emotions wouldn’t be discovered. What I hadn’t expected was that the man known as Volcano’s Best Sword was also good at finding people.
“Heoheun.”
Thinking about it, sensing a presence was probably an easy task for him. I just wished he would leave me alone for a while.
Especially when I’m crying like now.
I shouldn’t let it get to me, but when I didn’t raise my head pretending not to hear, the master, who had been looking down at me in silence, suddenly reached out.
And in an instant, I was embraced.
“Ah.”
I reflexively grabbed his shoulder. Although a bit clumsy, there was a sense of stability, probably because he was basically strong, and it didn’t seem like I would be dropped.
But I didn’t need that stability. I slowly let go of his clothes that I had grabbed, but the master rather tightened his embrace.
Because my body had suddenly floated, I was dumbfounded, and my tears had momentarily stopped. But the moment I thought that I couldn’t even cry freely, my composure was about to break.
The master quietly asked.
“Why are you hiding here?”
Why indeed?
Since I can’t get seriously annoyed here, I kept my mouth firmly shut. Instead of trying to hear a response from me, he carried me out of the warehouse where I had been hiding, still holding me.
The night breeze touches my wet cheeks. Then a large hand awkwardly brushed my chilled face.
“Heoheun.”
It was a soft voice, as if blending into the quiet night air.
“The reason I brought you and became your master… was not a decision made lightly.”
That voice had a power that made me focus, even though it had been running until just before. I glanced up at the master then.
…Suddenly, it felt like something like this had happened once before.
‘That’s impossible.’
But for some reason, it was a very vivid feeling.
“It’s my first time having a disciple, so there will undoubtedly be shortcomings. But as it was not a lightly made decision, I will always strive to be a good master to you.”
The master let out a shallow sigh.
“I’m not saying that you also have to strive. I made the decision to form a masterdisciple bond, so you don’t need to. Just…”
While listening to his words, I felt a newfound sensation.
There are things that can only be felt when bodies are in contact. Everything this person said was pure sincerity.
Even in the original work I knew, he really was a good adult.
“I just want to tell you that you don’t have to hide and cry like this.”
Perhaps that’s why the moment I realized it, I was already truly comforted by his words.
‘But…’
Wasn’t that word, if very strictly speaking, directed at the owner of this body, ‘Baek Yeo Heun,’ not me?
The first 12yearold disciple who survived alone after a surprise attack and destruction of his clan.
‘…what do I do since I’ve taken over that disciple’s body?’
Of course, it’s not intentional. I didn’t know why it happened either.
But the guilt towards the master who knew nothing and ‘Baek Yeo Heun,’ who I didn’t even know where she was now, inevitably gnawed at my softened heart.
‘I should have thought about this sooner.’
When I had just woken up, I briefly wondered where the owner of the body was, then forgot about it.
I shouldn’t have.
Right after accepting that this was not a dream but reality, I should have thought of this issue immediately.
(This is a time separator.)
Several more days passed since then.
The man in white I saw on the first day turned out to be the executioner of the master, and he was a member of the Volcano’s faction.
Only after he confirmed that I was completely healthy was I able to officially become a disciple of the Volcano Sect.
“From today, you are a disciple of Volcano. Your Daoist name is Ha Heun.”
Yes, ‘Ha Heun’ was as I had remembered.
Also, on the same day, I performed the Nine Bows Ritual and officially became a masterdisciple with him.
After all the procedures were finished and I was finally left alone, I felt the need to organize my thoughts anew.
“First of all…….”
This body that I am using against my will.
I’m certainly sorry to the original owner of this body.
But now was not the time to focus on that emotion.
I, the Earthly me, must be dead by now, so harboring any regrets would be futile. But the owner of this body, ‘Baek Yeo Heun’, unlike me, must not have severed ties with her own life.
‘It wasn’t a matter of death, and she must have memories of being saved by the master.’
Why ‘Baek Yeo Heun’ is not in this body.
Whether she is dead, or hiding somewhere deep within, I couldn’t know for now.
So from now on, even if it is against my will, as one who has arbitrarily possessed another’s body, I must find out the cause of the incident, and if ‘Baek Yeo Heun’ hasn’t died and wants to regain this body, I must think about what to do.
‘But to do that, you need to survive for now. You have to be alive to find anything.’
That’s why now is not the time to focus on feelings of guilt.
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.
