Once the preparations were complete, Clements, who was having a conversation with Gordon in front of the carriage, appeared. Unlike other times when going out, today’s carriage had a darker and more subtle pattern, resembling the common carriages one could often see at the carriage rental station. It was a look that wouldn’t be out of place even at the carriage rental station.
The basic principle of inspections is not to draw attention, they say. Perhaps for this reason, Clements was dressed in comfortable outing attire, not the shirts or military uniforms he often wore.
“Diane!”
At that moment, an unexpected voice was heard, and I turned my head. ‘Davian is out too?’ Whenever the two complained about inspections, I wondered if their feelings changed when they actually saw their older brother going.
Davian waved one hand. Even Clements, who was having a serious conversation with Gordon, showed a slight smile when he looked in my direction.
As Clements was still undergoing inspection, I approached Davian first. “Davian, are you going too?”
“Yeah, just… I was bored.”
‘It’s strange. I heard that you have training with Micael today.’ Could he have sneaked out without anyone noticing? Looking at Davian with a suspicious gaze, an unwelcome voice echoed in my mind. [If you go out, there will be many bugs, right?] The snake chuckled softly, muttering to itself. It was clear from the snake’s behavior what it was up to.
I approached Davian a little apart from Clements and gave a quiet warning to the snake. “You. It’s okay inside the mansion, but you shouldn’t be noticed by others when you go out. Understand? Stay quiet in the bag as much as possible.”
[Why? Why should I do that?]“Not many people keep a snake as a pet. Moreover, we’re secretly going to inspect the territory, so it’s not good to attract attention.”
When I emphasized it firmly, the snake furrowed its brows. It closed its mouth tightly, and its eyes squinted, showing a contemplative expression as if deciding whether to cause trouble or not.
“Don’t startle or play pranks. Got it?”
[Hmm, fine for now.]“Instead, I’ll open the bag slightly for you. You can look through the crack.”
[Well…, if that’s the case?]However, the response I heard wasn’t very satisfactory. ‘Should I leave it behind now?’ It wasn’t too late to go back to my room. It seemed like a pretty good idea.
‘I wonder if the snake will agree to stay behind obediently now.’
Standing still and contemplating, Davian suddenly leaped towards me. “What are you doing there? We’re about to leave.”
I followed Davian, walking towards the carriage. When we arrived in front of the carriage, I glanced downward, catching the gaze of Davian, who was about to lift me up.
“You brought the bag again today. Is there something in it, like your snake?”
“Yeah, I brought it with me.”
For a brief moment, Davian furrowed his brows. However, it was such a short moment that I wondered if I had seen it incorrectly.
[Hurry up and go! I’m bored!]The snake paid no attention to whether we were talking about it or not.
[Let’s go quickly!]Mumbling with a red tongue flicking out, Davian whispered softly as he stared at the snake extending its head.
While flicking its red tongue and extending its head, the silver snake, Davian, muttered in a low voice, “Taking this snake too…”
For some reason, at that moment, the forgotten nightmare from last night flashed back. ‘The divine beast shouldn’t turn into a snake!’
Without realizing it, I tightly grasped the bag and stealthily moved my steps backward. It seemed like it wouldn’t work. I was worried about the snake causing trouble, and I was uneasy about my brother or Davian having their eyes on the snake!
“Davian, come to think of it, it might be better to leave the snake behind.”
“No, no. There’s no need for that. It’s your precious snake.”
“Hmm…, really?”
“Yeah, besides, I brought something too. Just a moment.”
Davian rummaged through the simple luggage inside the carriage unexpectedly. I looked at him with a puzzled expression due to his somewhat unexpected actions.
“Ah, here it is!”
What Davian took out was a small glass bottle. Inside, I could see an unfamiliar green substance.
Davian casually removed the lid of the glass bottle and presented it to the snake.
“Hey, eat this.”
“What is this…”
I lowered my gaze below the glass bottle. As soon as I saw it, I recognized what it was. The lumpy and round green object in the glass bottle.
“I had a bit of trouble catching a live frog without killing it.”
My entire body stiffened. Even if I wanted to turn my gaze away, I couldn’t. Staring intently at the glass bottle, I made eye contact with the frog.
After a moment of silence, the frog, which had been looking up at me, croaked! Startled, I recoiled backward. I tightly grabbed Yann, who was standing behind me, and used him as a shield.
“That’s right, Diane! Don’t be surprised, and take a good look. It’s a well-behaved one, a good frog. And it’s the favorite food of the snake you cherish so much, isn’t it?”
“Ugh, don’t come near! Go away!”
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.
