Although she had won all the magic-related competitions held in the Lockeia Empire over the past three years.
Except for one.
The exception was the Cexelphone competition, where academies from the Pan Continent and within the Lockeia Empire participated.
“That Cexelphone seems difficult to participate in.”
“Why, why is that?”
“It takes six months from preliminaries to finals.”
“Why does it…?”
“Because there’s no time to manage the plants.”
Triarche’s absence.
Thanks to that, Hwanglip Academy still couldn’t break free from its perennial second-place position.
Although the professors of plants and the students enthusiastically dreamed of recruiting Triarche’s plants again after her statement that there was no time to manage them.
“Triarche’s dual major in revenge… that’s fine. However, convince Triarche to participate in the Cexelphone. During the competition, also manage Triarche’s greenhouse. Then, if Triarche approves, I’ll allow the dual major.”
They quietly held onto hope at the principal’s words.
They would try to persuade her somehow, but without Triarche, the plants in the greenhouse couldn’t be managed by anyone else.
“Liche unnie, you’re not participating again this year, right?”
“Well….”
Looking around the greenhouse at Lily’s words.
Thanks to her hard work over the years, it seemed like the plants would survive even if left to others for a few months.
‘Will it be okay?’
[It’ll be fine.]Pythos answered Liche’s question.
Lying lazily under the sun in the shade he installed for himself, it made her feel the changes of time once again.
‘A few years ago around this time, it would’ve been chaotic.’
Six years ago, Pythos, who had gone to the Hikanka and the grave, safely returned his body and came back to Liche’s side.
The problem was the human world’s environment.
What wasn’t affected when he was a spirit was now a burden on his body when he moved as his real self.
Moreover, the fatal point for Pythos was that he couldn’t leave Liche, his contractor.
Hwanglip Academy, far from the Forest of Demons, and the school’s dormitory for all students.
Pythos lived one semester a year by the riverbank with a fish in his mouth, extending thanks to him.
Still, he seemed to have adapted somewhat to the human world now, and since last year, it seemed his body could endure just by finding a riverbank once during vacation.
[There’s a lot of magic coming out of the land. Now, even if you only take it out occasionally, it won’t be a demon’s lair.]Pythos said, touching the leaves of the nearby tree with his hand.
Liche began growing flowers as soon as Pythos returned to her side after Hikanka went to the great beings of the stars and came back.
“Is the academy changing into a demon’s lair like the Forest of Demons?”
“Yeah. Within a few years.”
……
“Then why don’t you stop it?”
“Me? How?”
“Pythos should know.”
Liche asked Pythos how to prevent the academy from turning into a demon’s lair.
[There’s only one way to take out magic. You have to grow a lifeform that will absorb the magic you take out from the ground and prevent that magic from returning to the ground. Like farming or gardening? You have to do that consistently. It’s a hassle.]So, the first thing she chose was to plant flowers.
Although it was a bit difficult at first, with the help of Pythos and the people around her, she found her place.
Still, because of the work of extracting magic, she couldn’t leave the academy for more than two months. But now, she could leave her place vacant for about half a year.
“Cexelphone competition…”
Deep down, before graduation, she wanted to try participating. Since it’s a competition that only students in the 6th grade and above can join, there were only opportunities this year and the next.
Having made a decision, Liche nodded to Lily.
“I’ll participate in the Cexelphone competition this year.”
“Wow. Really?”
To Lily’s surprise at Liche’s unexpected answer, she asked in amazement.
‘The principal and professors will really like it.’
Is there a festival coming up soon?
Honestly, Lily wasn’t interested in such boring competitions.
But if Liche participates, it’s a different story. She’ll gather as much valuable information as possible and relay it to Liche unnie.
Lily quickly turned her thoughts.
‘I should ask Lotus and Jick oppa for cooperation too. Inquire about swordsmanship as well.’
Should I ask the eldest son, who is busy with his business nowadays?
Robenhaf, who had promised to confess to Liche before graduation, ended up graduating as it was, still stammering in front of Liche, traumatized by the public confession failure six years ago.
After that, suddenly in spring this year, he poured out his worries to the twins.
“Lily, Lotus. I’m going to be the most successful entrepreneur on the continent.”
“Really? Then, a yacht for me.”
“Hyung, I want a sword. The most expensive one.”
“Listen, younger siblings. After that, Liche will, will, confes……..”
“……You don’t have to buy me a yacht.”
“……My sword is fine, hyung.”
Tsk tsk. Lily clicked her tongue, thinking of the somewhat useless and foolish eldest son.
It seemed like an utterly impossible thing, but for now, she was silently cheering for him. After all, it would be good for Liche and the family. Well, I heard that the business he started last month is going quite well.
“Oh, right.”
As Liche came out of the changing room, Lily shouted as if she remembered something.
“Why?”
Liche asked Lily, untying her hair.
On Liche’s uniform, changed from work clothes, there was a silver badge attached.
“Unnie, there’s a very talented student at the Udik Academy.”
“Magic?”
“Swordsmanship. But they say he knows magic too.”
Although Lily wasn’t interested in the Cexelphone competition, there were still some stories she picked up.
A skilled individual from the Udik Academy. The person who won last year’s Cexelphone competition.
“Still, if it’s swordsmanship, I won’t cross paths with him, right?”
“No. There’s a team competition category. Academies compete against each other regardless of the department.”
“Ah. I see.”
Liche nodded at Lily’s words.
Come to think of it, it seemed like she had heard about the team competition.
Since she just decided to participate, she didn’t know much about the competition.
“Unnie, be careful. It’s not an easy opponent.”
“You mean he’s not easy to beat? Sure. I’ll be careful.”
“No.”
“If it’s not the skill, what’s not easy……?”
“Appearance.”
“……Huh?”
Lily opened her mouth with a serious expression.
“He’s handsome. Extremely.”
Lordwick Duchy. Forest of Demons.
‘It opens……!’
Philip nervously stared at the entrance of the opening forest.
Deon, who had spent the night in the Forest of Demons, was coming out.
18 years old this year.
His young master was so mature that it would evoke admiration from those who saw him…….
“Water.”
“Yes!”
He was still intimidating.
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.
