A familiar sensation of hearing sounds in her head.
Pythonus.
‘Pythonus?!’
Liche looked around.
However, the corridor showed nothing to Liche.
Feeling disappointed, Pythonus called her again.
[Here!]‘Where?!’
Still, nothing was visible.
“Here!”
An exasperated voice burst out from the window.
Finally locating the source of the sound, surprise took over Liche’s face.
“…Pythonus?”
A man with fiery red hair resembling Tao, intense orange eyes, broad shoulders, well-coordinated muscles, and glowing skin was there.
However,
“Long time no see, contractee.”
Although he was smaller than Liche’s palm.

Once, the stars were gods.
Whether their power was strong or weak, they existed alongside planets for hundreds or even billions of years.
However, nothing eternal existed in the flow of time.
Life was born, died, civilizations emerged, and then crumbled.
Even the gods existed, were worshipped, and forgotten.
Forgotten gods became stars, and they could no longer sustain their existence in the human world.
The stars, now called graves, found a world where they could maintain their existence.
“God of War. An old story.”
In Liche’s room.
Pythonus lay on the cushion, tapping his ankle.
The man with red hair closely resembled Pythonus’s original appearance, though his appearance was disguised. His light tone and actions were just as Liche remembered.
‘Pythonus.’
Liche couldn’t stop the rising corners of her mouth.
Amidst the somewhat unfamiliar appearance, his light conversation and behavior were just as she remembered.
‘Pythonus.’
Liche couldn’t control the rising corners of her mouth.
Amidst the somewhat unfamiliar appearance, his light conversation and behavior were just as she remembered.
“How did you fully come out of that glass bottle? Squirrel body?”
“Well, it’s a bit ambiguous.”
Pythonus sat up, crossed his legs, and clenched his fist.
“I’m still in the form of consciousness. So, what you see of me right now is a hallucination created by manipulating my appearance with cognitive manipulation. I haven’t fully recovered my body yet. Ah, I’ve completely come out of the glass bottle, though.”
“Hekan… What happened to him?”
Liche hesitated to call his name, realizing that doing so might let Hekanka know her location.
“Call him Yellow. That nickname should be enough for that bastard.”
Although the nickname ‘Yellow Eyes’ might suit him better, how could she use such harsh words to refer to her child-like contractee?
“Shall I tell you what happened to the dog?”
Pythonus explained the circumstances of how he came out.
One month ago, the day when Ian fell into the water.
Pythonus, who had come out of the glass bottle, deceived Hekanka with his cognitive manipulation ability.
After making Hekanka believe that he was confined back into the bottle, Pythonus had been sleeping inside Philip’s body.
“You possessed Philip?”
“No, it’s more like the feeling of relocating within the bottle. Normally, it wouldn’t have worked, but it was possible because I am a consciousness entity.”
He was fortunate. If Hekanka had used his eyes at that time, he would have seen through Pythonus’s cognitive manipulation.
Hekanka strangely felt distracted that day, as if his mind was elsewhere.
“So, you waited for an opportunity when the Yellow one could possess the knight’s body. Now, that kid has fallen asleep after having all the power he collected taken away by me.”
Thanks to that, Pythonus was now in a state of overflowing power, enough to manifest his original form, albeit on a smaller scale.
“Have you been well during this time, contractee?”
“Yeah…!”
When Pythonus asked about her well-being, Liche nodded with a heartwarming feeling.
Growing a bit during this time, Pythonus chuckled and urged her to share what had happened.
“Ah, H-he asked me to help him as a condition for releasing you…”
Liche explained everything that had happened starting from Pythonus being swallowed by Hekanka in prison, narrating her experiences through the flow of time, including becoming Philip’s guardian knight, saving Ian Dwayne, purifying Blake’s om, and entering the academy.
Then, a few hours ago, she explained the details of the conversation between Blake and Deon about Professor Rumble that she had overheard.
“Ha.”
Pythonus let out a sigh as if amazed.
“Banning magic because they can’t control what they possess? How dare humans make such a decision for my contractee?”
“It’s true that I can’t control it, but…”
Liche sighed.
After the training ground incident, she tried to cast very simple spells using the magic stone a few times, but each attempt failed.
Incidents that had occurred at the academy recently were the results of Liche’s failed magic.
“I see.”
Pythonus shook his head in disappointment.
If he had known that she wanted to learn magic, he should have told her in advance.
It’s my fault. An entity who can’t do anything without me.
There was a clear reason why Liche acted that way.
“Contractee, you used human spells, right? Those tedious long ones.”
“Magic spells? Yes.”
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.
