As much as I hate to recall it, Cali’s words had some truth. The easiest way to Awaken is when one’s life is in danger.
A foul odor filled the air. I had run into a swampy area. Walking was tough with each step sinking into the swamp. And there was a gigantic flower.
A huge flower, emitting a foul scent.
“Huh, huuuh. Huuuhuh, Semin, Semin. Semin…”
A male student, covered in sticky liquid, was being devoured by the flower. Beside him lay what seemed to be a lifeless body.
A small tremor came from the ground. A small thorny tree was about to strike a sobbing girl with a massive club.
“Get away!”
I don’t know where the strength came from. Struggling against the swamp’s grasp, I dived and rolled with the student. The small thorny tree missed and struck the empty air.
“Oh, sister. Semin, Semin is… My, my brother…”
Were they siblings? That explains the resemblance.
My right shoulder throbbed from hitting the ground as I rolled.
The ringing in my ears was intense. The small thorny tree stopped, but the giant flower was still holding its prey.
“Run.”
“What?”
“We have to run now.”
I grabbed her hand, pulling her up. She cried out in panic.
“Bu, but Semin, Semin is…”
In panic, the girl sobbed. Her gaze fixed on the boy, slowly being consumed.
He seems still alive. Endless sobbing and ringing filled my head. Blood dripped from my nose.
We have to leave him. Even if he’s still barely breathing, he can’t be saved. I have to take this girl away.
That’s the only way she can survive.
“Okay.”
This is undoubtedly madness.
“I’ll save him.”
I wiped the girl’s tears before getting up.
“Hey! Stinky flower! Done eating that tasteless stuff? Look this way!”
I wasn’t sure if it could understand. It didn’t seem like the kind of creature you could talk to.
Still, the flower turned towards the source of the noise. Its slimy tendrils oozed liquid.
“Could you at least wash up? You really stink!”
This is insane. There’s no way this will work.
The flower lashed its tendrils menacingly at me. The limp body of the boy was spat out and lay lifelessly on the ground.
“Now’s your chance! I’ll distract it, get him and escape!”
“But, sister…”
Before the thorny tree could attack, I just needed to run with the boy. The giant flower, Laplasia, lashed out its tendrils again.
“Quickly!”
The girl seemed paralyzed with fear, hardly able to stand. At this rate, we’d all be doomed.
The tendrils swelled ominously. At the same time, the thorny tree charged towards me.
Suddenly, a faint smell of fire wafted through the air.
“Yes, that’s the spirit I like. I really like it!”
It was a voice I knew. Soon, my vision was engulfed in red.
Not the red of a sunset, but the dancing flames that began to devour everything around.
Time slowed down. The fire lashed out along with the day. Laplasia’s tendrils were severed. A horrible scream rang out as the tendrils flailed wildly. Cali, seemingly annoyed by the effort of dodging, burnt all the tendrils.
“Ugh. Poisonous plants, so annoying.”
The burning Laplasia twisted and stood up. I’m not sure if ‘stood up’ is the right term, but it did anyway.
“Cali, behind you!”
The half-burnt tendril of Laplasia reached out. The flaming tendril lashed threateningly like a whip.
Simultaneously, the thorny tree behind Cali raised its club.
Somewhere, a song echoed. As the whirlwind of fire swept through, Cali rolled backward and swung her spear horizontally.
Laplasia’s leg tendrils were cut off, and the club-struck flower was crushed.
Cali, having done a backflip, lightly shook off and stood up. All of this happened within 2 seconds.
“Ah, I’m annoyed, let’s finish this all at once.”
The flames swirled and soared high.
For a moment, amidst the flames, I thought I caught a glimpse of golden eyes.
“Damn it, Silence. If you’re going to make a prophecy, do it right. Senile old man.”
The situation was resolved in an instant. The part of the forest that burned down, along with the monsters that ran towards us, were all easily sliced by her.
Cali, dusting off the ash from her body, stood askew with an annoyed expression.
“Uh, huff. Huhuh, Semin, Semin.”
“Hey, that one’s still alive.”
“Really, really?”
“Well, it needs to be dealt with soon. But stop crying, it’s noisy. It hurts my ears.”
“Semin, huuuh. Uh-huhuhuh.”
“Ah, it’s so noisy!”
The chaos was unparalleled. I quietly sighed and helped to sort out the situation.
With an S-rank Hunter here, things should be fine now. That belief shattered just 2 minutes after the situation was settled.
“Huh? I can’t handle this alone. Maybe if Dan were here.”
Cali, with her red hair carelessly tied up, scratched her head.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
