“So, from now on…”
Bang! While discussing what would happen next, the door of the meeting room was forcefully opened.
White hair and blue eyes. Jung Suho stood in front of the door. The only peculiar thing was that he had a deeply furrowed expression.
“Oh, Suho, you’re here? Come in, come in.”
At the invitation from Lee Jisung, Jung Suho walked briskly.
He stood right in front of Lee Jisung, who was wearing sunglasses.
His blue eyes pierced through the lenses of the sunglasses, and he handed something to Lee Jisung.
The AI’s voice echoed.
[I understand that you have concluded to handle the gate alone. Breaking such a promise would be inconvenient. I am confident that I can handle it alone.]“Oh, yeah. That’s what we decided.”
Lee Jisung covered the voice coming from the device with his hand.
A stern gaze exchanged between them. Lee Jisung raised one eyebrow and smirked.
“You lied to us. That’s inconvenient.”
Lied? Jung Suho looked at Lee Jisung as if asking what he was talking about.
Next to him, a dry voice was heard.
“You didn’t explain about the curse to your partner, right?”
Swish, Jung Suho turned his head. There were new faces.
A black-haired man and a golden-haired man. Certainly, the golden-haired man was the 2nd ranker seen yesterday. The black-haired man must be the 1st ranker, Rood.
Unable to contain his anger, Jung Suho opened his triangular eyes and stared, and Rood, as if not backing down, opened his eyes and spoke.
“Eyes, why are you looking at someone you just met like that?”
“…….”
Realizing that he had committed a faux pas, Jung Suho bowed slightly, offering an apologetic greeting, and took his seat.
Nevertheless, Rood felt uneasy about this situation, as if there was something bitter inside.
‘That guy… He’s making the same expression as before…!’
[Why? Why that expression? Inquires the dominator of chaos, looking at you.]‘That brat… He never does what he hates! He really hasn’t changed at all, just like my dad…’
[Enough, Nari. Enough. We decided to be lively and refreshing, remember? Advises the dominator of chaos, trying to calm you down.]It was the same expression he made when Nari scolded him about his homework or household chores.
Remembering that time, Rood, feeling frustrated again, barely managed to calm his mind following the advice of the dominator of chaos.
A sound came from Jung Suho’s communicator.
[I heard that you will accompany me in clearing the Labyrinth of Crete to lift my abnormal condition.]“Yes, that’s right. Clearing it won’t mean anything if we don’t lift Jung Suho’s curse. So, we have to take you with us.”
Jung Suho, with an expression of discontent, pondered for a while, clenching his fist as if lost in thought.
Seeing that, Rood sighed inwardly.
‘Anyway, with that expression, negotiations are doomed; I won’t do it, absolutely not. It’s been like that since the old days, that guy…’
Jung Suho looked at them with a puzzled expression.
In response to the essential question, Rood and Kang Yihyun looked at each other. There was no room for excuses.
Observing their reactions, Jung Suho entered text on his communicator again.
[In the end, it’s a conflict between our guild factions, intertwined with my personal circumstances.]‘That’s related to my circumstances…!’
Rood, with a tightly sealed mouth, expressed frustration. There was nothing he could say about this.
“Suhoya, stop.”
Although Lee Jisung tried to discourage him, Jung Suho entered text on his communicator again. The cold voice of the AI flowed out.
[I am well aware of both of your abilities, but the idea of two S-rank individuals participating in gate subjugation for the sole reason of assisting me does not align with logic. Is there any other reason that I am unaware of?]“…You unexpectedly have a good personality. After hearing your circumstances, I thought I would help you clear my mind before I became more concerned!”
‘No, it’s because I pity you. If I let you go down like this, it’ll make me feel uncomfortable! Still, I’ll cut you some slack since we have a past connection!’
Gritting his teeth, Rood, who spent time fending off blood only for external reasons without being able to explain his circumstances, clenched his fists tightly.
However, to anyone who saw it, even Nari herself, it was unnatural for the arrogant 1st rank, who had never shown mercy and had always pressed down on other hunters with force, to suddenly appear pitiful, begging for mercy as the 6th rank.
Still unable to dispel suspicions, Lee Jisung hesitated for a moment at the sight of Jung Suho but then defended Rood.
“Suho, I’ve seen it. We’re done talking. My eyes for judging people are accurate, aren’t they? Can’t you trust me?”
[No, even if Jisung-hyung doesn’t know, I’ll persist until the end. Constant suspicion is necessary to protect my family.]“That damn…!!!”
Thump, Rood abruptly stood up from his chair.
Jung Suho looked at him in surprise. Even enduring had its limits.
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.
