“Sigh…”
[Caught again. Caught again, the Lord of Chaos giggles gleefully.]“You deliberately didn’t tell me. You enjoy this, don’t you?”
[The Lord of Chaos feigns ignorance with a flick of his fingers.] [The Lord of Chaos makes a face as if to say, ‘Raising a younger brother is futile, he’ll always suspect his elder brother, and it’s all pointless.’]Anyhow, that brat… Nari, glaring at the indirect message window with great annoyance, sighed deeply and turned towards Kang I-hyun.
“So… what did you see exactly?”
Flames of dark energy flickered in Nari’s right hand. Kang I-hyun trembled slightly under her sharp gaze.
“……I-I won’t say anything. I promise… Please, just spare my life…!”
“No, I’m not planning to kill you. I just want to know what you saw.”
A formidable aura emanated from her small frame. Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Kang I-hyun decided to be honest.
“……Right after finishing the 3rd stage… I saw the alert that the gate difficulty had increased, so I came to help… and saw you…”
“And then?”
“You were inspecting Lude’s body… lying there wounded… and then you… used dark energy to disperse it… and said something about needing to… stitch Lude’s avatar…”
“Ah~ crap, he heard everything…”
Exasperated, Nari massaged her forehead. She was accustomed to cleaning up after being discovered using Lude’s avatar, usually just erasing memories of her presence. However, directly tampering with someone’s memory could cause them psychological harm.
“It’s my first time doing this to an S-class… wonder if it’ll work?”
“Wait a minute! What are you trying to do?!”
Nari, with dark energy swirling around her hand, approached Kang I-hyun, who stepped back a couple of steps. Nari approached him with an evil grin.
“Hmph! You can’t escape, Kang I-hyun! You’re in what’s called a ‘checkmate’!”
“Ah!!”
Nari’s dark energy clung stickily to Kang I-hyun’s ankles. She got close to him, placing her energy-laden hand near his forehead, smiling malevolently.
“Don’t take it too badly, you’re an S-class, so the side effects won’t last long… I think.”
“……What?”
Kang I-hyun’s voice trembled. Nari put her hand on his forehead and murmured.
“Sorry. It’s complicated if I get exposed.”
She then used her special ability.
[Avatar Special Trait :: Fragments of the Primordial Dream] [Using the power of the Lord of Chaos.] [Borrowing the skill of the Messenger.] [Messenger’s Exclusive Skill :: Chaos Always Arises from the Human Subconscious.]Ping!
[Skill Use Nullified.]“Eh?”
Nari looked dumbfounded at her own hand. Kang I-hyun looked just as bewildered.
The skill was rejected. Like a computer program crashing. Confused, Nari tried several more times to touch Kang I-hyun’s forehead.
[Skill Use Nullified.] [Skill Use Nullified.] [Skill Use……]“……Eh?!”
Tap, tap, tap-tap-tap-tap-tap. No matter how many times she tried, the same indirect message popped up. The Lord of Chaos was laughing in the indirect messages. Nari’s face contorted in frustration.
“Why isn’t it working?! Why isn’t this working?! Hey! Is this a scam?! What are you?!”
“Um… Sorry, but could you please stop… hitting… me?”
“Why isn’t the brainwashing working! Why isn’t the mind control effective?! This is a scam!!”
The once menacing Nari was now helplessly tapping on Kang I-hyun’s reddening forehead, whose apology was awkward and timid.
“Um… I’m sorry… Because of the Lord of Chaos… I’m completely immune to dark mental attacks… Sorry…”
“Ah! Ah! Aaah! How can this be?!”
Shocked by Kang I-hyun’s revelation, Nari grabbed her head in disbelief. The Lord of Chaos sent a stream of laughing emoticons in the black indirect message window.
“Shut up! I’m the strongest! The strongest aren’t affected by nullification like this!! Aaaaah!”
“Um, these things happen. There are 7 billion people on Earth… Right? Things like this happen. So don’t worry too much about it…”
“No, it can’t be… It can’t end like this…!”
Now the tables had turned. Nari was extremely flustered, while Kang I-hyun remained relatively calm.
“It’s okay! I swear I won’t tell anyone. Please…”
“Shut up!! How can I trust you?! Come here. If we disappear in the dungeon, there won’t even be a body left! In this case, it might be better to just kil…”
“Mister!”
Just as Nari, feeling hopeless, grabbed her black half-scissors, someone’s voice echoed loudly.
Gasp! Kang I-hyun and Nari widened their eyes and looked towards the outside of the boss monster’s room. Kang I-hyun turned pale.
“Mister! Where are you! I know you’re here! I rushed here after missing the evening service, knowing you’d be here, how could you leave your partner behind!”
It seemed other hunters or rescue workers were starting to enter the dungeon. Kang I-hyun looked at Nari with a voice full of fear.
“That’s my partner…”
“Eh?!”
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.”
