‘Please don’t come closer. I am no different from a monster. I can’t come near you.’
Since the curse manifested, I could deduce that Ian had been reluctant to stand in front of anyone.
Even so, he specifically came to the ‘Abandoned Mountain’ to eliminate monsters.
“Were you worried because you were chosen for the extermination force but couldn’t come?”
“I…”
“What about joining now? Everyone sees the mysterious powerhouse as a hero; if it turns out to be you…”
“I didn’t come because I was worried about the extermination force.”
“Then?”
Drawing a deep breath, Ian continued with a resolute face.
“I was simply worried about you, Senior.”
Our eyes met. Though it was just a simple meeting of gazes, his intense stare disrupted my breath.
“You came because you were worried about me?”
“Your aura is still unstable, Senior.”
So, to sum up Ian’s words…
He had tried to prevent a situation where I would have to use my aura?
And he defeated all those monsters just for that?
“There is something else I have to tell you, Senior.”
“What is it?”
“I’ve asked someone who has researched auras extensively. There’s a way to stabilize your aura.”
“A method to stabilize my aura?”
Ian’s gaze became intensely serious as he gave a slight nod.
“It involves absorbing the stable aura of another Swordmaster.”
“That will stabilize my unstable aura?”
“It’s close to speculation by the researcher, but it’s the only method to try.”
“How should we do it?”
Ian’s Adam’s apple visibly bobbed at my question. After a moment’s hesitation, he parted his lips.
“…By making physical contact and transferring my aura to you.”
“Physical contact?”
Ian pressed his palms together as he answered.
“Even simple palm-to-palm contact like this should work.”
“Then let’s try it.”
“If you feel anything abnormal, break the contact immediately.”
“Understood.”
I extended my flattened palm towards Ian. His palm gently met mine.
The moment Ian softly closed his eyes, a blue light seemed to flow between our touching palms.
His aura flowed through the palm, filling my entire body with something warm.
The moment I withdrew my palm, feeling the strange sensation, Ian asked in an urgent voice.
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
I didn’t feel like I was straining myself. I wondered if this method was effective; the erratic aura seemed to have settled a bit.
“How is your aura?”
“It seems a bit stable.”
“Really?”
I immediately unsheathed my sword and manipulated the aura. As I lightly slashed the air, a surge of nausea washed over me. I quickly sealed my mouth but didn’t vomit. Moreover, I didn’t feel dizzy.
“Look at this. It seems to be working.”
“If this method really works, we should study it properly.”
“Can we try it one more time?”
“As much as you like.”
This time, Ian extended his palm toward me first. I pressed my palm deeper against his than before. Feeling that it was still insufficient, I subtly intertwined my fingers with his.
Ian seemed to hesitate for a moment but soon closed his eyes.
The aura emanating from Ian gently blended with mine within me. I felt a sense of relaxation spreading throughout my body, and my lips seemed to loosen as well.
“I think this is enough.”
I had maintained the connection for much longer this time, so I slowly untangled my fingers. Just as I was about to withdraw my hand, suddenly, our knuckles tightly interlocked again.
Unknowingly, I flinched, and an extremely low voice descended.
“I don’t think it’s enough for me.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
