During the time when she hurried her steps, following the occasional song, the cat expressed its doubt. Eun Ha moistened her lips without stopping her steps.
“Just because.”
It was a natural thing for Eun Ha.
If someone needs help, and I have the ability to give it, it’s just a matter of giving. There was no special reason needed for that act.
However, it seemed like something the cat couldn’t understand.
[Those guys are from the same guild as those who looked down on you at the gate entrance, and it seems annoyed, licking its whiskers.]“Right.”
Eun Ha briefly nodded and continued speaking.
“But the ones I had trouble with were those outside, not the people just now.”
Whether the cat understood or not, it didn’t say anything more.
Splash─
With each step, clear water sounded, echoing in the quiet gate interior.
Near the gate entrance, the floor’s water, which had been only 3cm deep, had risen to her ankles at some point. And moreover.
‘Where on earth is Manager Park?’
It felt like quite some time since she woke from the illusion and wandered the gate, but she had not seen Park Je Hwi or his sister.
“It would be nice to have a tracking device.”
The moment she muttered softly.
Twinkle─
A small light came from around her neck. A dog tag chain? No. She didn’t usually wear the golden dog tag chain, a symbol of a firstgeneration hunter. So then.
‘A pendant…?’
The origin of the small light was one of the ‘Black Flame Princess’ set, the ‘Black Rose Pendant.’
Ding!
[Cast Spell ‘Location Tracking’ detected] [You have requested ‘Location Tracking.’ Would you like to activate the relic ‘Black Rose Pendant?’]Requested location tracking? Of course, she had muttered it…
Eun Ha gently held the faintly glowing ‘Black Rose Pendant.’ She didn’t know it had such a use.
Either way, she would know once she used it.
‘Activate.’
The moment she silently allowed activation, the pendant chain stretched out long and started to shake like a broken compass needle.
[Tracking object identification in progress. This task may take some time.] [ [Dash] [Dash] [Dash] Loading [Dash] [Dash] [Dash] ]…….
[Tracking object found. Coordinates 911, 366. Would you like immediate guidance?]Would the pendant really find Park Je Hwi? Though Eun Ha still had doubts, she first pressed the ‘request’ button.
Then, the pendant that was shaking here and there stopped and pointed in one precise direction.
Eun Ha started walking slowly.
[Remaining distance 451m] [Remaining distance 336m] [Remaining distance 199m]She put a slight force on the parasol in her hand. As the distance shortened, the unpleasant chill on her skin and the pungent odor grew stronger.
Not only that, but the sporadically blooming pink corals were now densely spread to obstruct her view.
‘Corals…’
Stop.
Eun Ha stopped walking and stared intently at the corals densely packed on the wall.
Seeing them reminded her of the Immortal Guild members she had just encountered. She remembered that some of them were covered with coral.
‘So these corals are…’
The moment Eun Ha absentmindedly reached out towards the coral,
Rumble─
The entire cave began to vibrate faintly.
[An unusual energy is felt from within the cave.]
[It is a dark and damp space. You must rely on the faint light emitted by the corals. ▶ Accuracy 20% decrease / Critical hit probability 15% decrease]
[Adjusting the fluctuating value temporarily.]
[ [Dash] [Dash] [Dash] Loading [Dash] [Dash] [Dash] ]
On the trembling ground, barely maintaining her balance, Galaxy was once again greeted with layers of system windows popping up.
[An unexpected error occurred.] [You are bound in spirit with ‘Cat that Wanders the Darkness.’] [Passive ▶ ‘Reader of the Night’ activated. Your night vision improves. Your accuracy greatly increases when fighting in a dark space.] [The gate’s penalty will not apply. Reverting the adjusted fluctuating value to its initial state.]The cave wall, which she thought was solid, opened like automatic doors on either side.
Whoooosh….
A strange wind blew through the opening. That damp wind, unpleasantly brushing against her skin, seemed as though it was beckoning Galaxy to enter.
[Remaining distance 30m]“…….”
Click─
Galaxy slowly moved forward.
The place was a small island, about 200m in diameter. The ceiling was covered with transparent stalactites that looked like crystals.
Other than that, the only features were the corals packed densely around the island, and
Swoooosh─
a waterfall so tall that the end couldn’t be seen.
The waterfall that encircled this small island spewed white mist. Galaxy momentarily lost herself in the beautiful and mystical sight.
Even though she had been walking inside a cave just moments ago, the scenery here was truly like paradise.
[……♪]A song was heard from somewhere, and Galaxy suddenly came to her senses and turned her head.
‘That is─.’
At some point, a large sphere had begun floating at the center of the island.
Galaxy narrowed her eyes to see the faint silhouette inside the sphere.
It was a beautiful woman.
However, the arms shaped like bird wings and the legs with fins attached were in no way human.
Facing her, Galaxy finally instinctively realized.
The cause of the illusion was that creature.
[…….]At that moment, their eyes seemed to meet.
Inside the sphere, filled with what looked like water, ‘it’ smiled. Its thin lips parting to reveal pointed and closely packed teeth, like a shark’s.
[Lv.??? ‘Siren of Mercy’ is watching you with interest.]Pop!
Galaxy reflexively kicked the ground to put distance between herself and ‘it.’
Its level wasn’t displayed properly. But that fact made her even more certain.
“You are the one.”
It was the boss monster.
Galaxy assumed a battle stance and lowered her upper body. But then.
Thump.
“……?”
Suddenly something caught her foot. Casually looking down, Galaxy’s eyes widened.
She quickly bent over to closely inspect it. A face covered by pink coral. It was definitely,
[Remaining distance less than 1m] [Guidance has ended.]Park Je Hwi.
The face Galaxy had been looking for.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
