Actually, since possessing, I had a faint sense of anxiety.
Baekho told me that I have a power called Unryeong, but frankly, it doesn’t manifest as I want. If I considered that power nonexistent, I’m merely a kitchen maid doing cooking and laundry.
‘Now I’m raising Danmokbi, but what should I do as time goes by?’
After Danmokbi grows up robustly and becomes an adult, at least he will not follow the path of the original’s villain, right?
‘Then what should I do in this world?’
It felt like being thrown into a strange place without a map.
Maybe that’s why. The fact that I had become an adult itself, even though I knew it was a dream, delighted me.
‘What kind of adult have I become?’
While I was excitedly walking somewhere,
“Yeona.”
A very heavy, soft yet low, thrilling voice called me. It was clearly the voice of an adult male.
‘Who?’
Who would call me so affectionately? My heart was pounding as I slowly turned around.
‘Gasp! Who is this?’
The man behind me was very tall. His broad shoulders that could completely hide me if I hid behind him, and his lean body without any flesh, caught my eye.
But more than anything, what caught my eye were his sharp eyes like a ferocious carnivore.
His black pupils seemed to have transferred the starless night sky directly. Those eyes captured me. It was a gaze that seemed to be sucked in.
My lips moved without my will.
“My lord.”
Hearing that, I was utterly surprised.
‘My lord? There’s only one person I call my lord!’
So this handsome man is Danmokbi?
‘Oh my! My lord has grown up beautifully. He’s grown well!’
Nowhere in his sturdy oaklike appearance did I feel the vulnerable and wounded childhood.
He asked in a gloomy tone.
“Where are you going?”
“That’s…….”
I hesitated. I had the feeling that even though I didn’t know where I was going, it wasn’t a good place.
He seemed to notice that feeling, gripping my wrist tightly, he pleaded.
“Don’t leave me. Don’t leave my side.”
It was when I contorted my face at his earnest tone.
He slowly lifted his head. A gaze as cold as a finely forged sword emanated a chilly aura.
“If you leave, I don’t know how I might change.”
[This is the time separator]“Gasp!”
I, who had dreamed up to there, jolted awake.
‘It was a dream!’
The moist air of the dream was nowhere to be found, and the warm sunlight embraced my whole body. Even though I realized I was back in reality, my heart still pounded.
‘Ugh, it was really scary.’
The moment I tasted the sticky obsession, my body froze on its own.
Taking a short, heavy breath to calm my mind, I buried my face in my palms. This doubt naturally arose.
‘……Was he really Master Danmokbi?’
Did I really have a prophetic dream? Was it not a fictitious dream confused with the original Danmokbi?
“Ah, now even strange dreams.”
I sighed, got up from my place, and opened the window. Oh, but the height of the sunlight outside the window was too high.
Casually looking at the sundial in one corner of the house, I screamed.
“Ahhh! I overslept!!”
I have to prepare food for the Master and the white tiger.
“Sorry, Master! Sorry, White Tiger!”
Frantically running out, I turned my head. The annex was still quiet, even though it was time for the Master to wake up and practice.
‘What happened?’
The Danmok tree and Danmok spear returned, so why did Danmokbi disappear?
My heart felt restless, especially since my sleep had been so troubled. After searching around for Danmokbi, I found Baekho asleep in Danmokbi’s room, waking up lazily and fussing.
Ugh, what is it?
What is it? I quickly pressed Baekho’s face to tell him to wake up.
“Baekho, where is the Master? Haven’t you seen him?”
Baekho swung his head in annoyance.
Why are you asking me? He’ll be lying around somewhere near you.
“He’s not there, that’s why I’m asking!”
Our Baekho is so slow. I beat my chest in frustration, and then Baekho turned his head the other way and said,
He seemed to go over the fence for a while yesterday, maybe he hasn’t come back yet.
“What? He went out?”
Yeah.
Hearing that answer, my mouth gaped even more. The usual world was not a place where Danmokbi could freely roam, but now it was even more so!
‘What if he runs into Danmoksu?’
The man who had neglected his son like that wouldn’t feel affection for him now. I quickly picked up Baekho.
“Why are you so calm! We have to find the Master!”
What? What? I’m sleepy!
Baekho struggled as if annoyed, but I ignored him, holding Baekho and heading outside.
‘Where is he?’
I hoped he hadn’t gone towards the main building.
“Master! Master!”
How frantically I must have wandered around the world, calling for him. I found Danmokbi near a wide pond, just before entering the main building.
Under the birch tree, the familiar scrawny neck and small physique caught my eye. I approached him and stroked my chest.
“Goodness, Master, you were feeling like this too. I thought my heart was going to drop.”
The dark black eyes looked at me sullenly. I smiled and took his hand.
“Let’s go back. You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you?”
That’s when it happened. The pale blue lips flicked, and he spat out words I never thought I’d hear.
“Who are you…?”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
