The few people, not more than five or six, each insisted on their own words.
It was hard to say whether surviving this chaos was fortunate or whether it was impressive that they still insisted on their opinions amidst all this.
I spoke to them.
“……There are no other survivors nearby. It would be useless to look around here. If you lost the child a bit further away…”
Someone shouted at my words.
“What do you know to say that! You’re just a regular person who’s not even a hunter!”
Someone else agreed.
“Saying the child might be dead. Isn’t that too harsh? Are you trying to monopolize your hunter friend?”
The agitated people raised their voices without properly assessing the situation.
This shouldn’t be happening. What should be said at such times? Something seemed stuck in my throat, and no words came out. Eventually, Baek Yi-hyeon stepped in to calm them.
“……Please, everyone calm down.”
“Calm down now? What’s this! I have shows I need to watch at home today!”
“Do something, you’re a hunter!”
Would anyone listen even if something was said?
I wondered. Do these people really not understand the situation, or are they just ignoring it?
“Please, please…”
A desperate voice reached out.
“……I’ll go check it out.”
“Thank you, thank you…”
And surprisingly, Baek Yi-hyeon accepted it all.
People began to make various requests to him, and he fulfilled each of them.
If they asked for food, he gave food; if they couldn’t walk due to injury and asked for a potion, he handed out potions.
Being too kind can also be a problem.
“You’re going to leave us to find one child?!”
A harsh voice rebuked him. Still, Baek Yi-hyeon kept smiling.
“But the child might still be alive. You will be safe here for a while.”
“How can we believe that! It’s a million times safer to be by your side!”
Even though this was happening right before my eyes, the entire situation felt like a lie. I was suffocated but couldn’t pinpoint why.
“That’s right. It’s dangerous over there.”
So, the words that came out of my mouth were just as hollow.
“Why do you keep interfering! And you, you don’t even seem awakened… What basis do you have to say that?”
“…….”
“I just feel it.” I couldn’t muster the courage to answer. Instead, I chose silence.
“My friend always has good intuition. So…”
“How can we believe that! There’s no evidence! In this situation, are you just siding with your friend? We might all die because of one mistake!”
Yes, that’s correct. In a situation where we might all die, how can we blindly follow and trust the words of a complete stranger? I stepped back from them.
Seeing my state, Baek Yi-hyeon spoke with a calmly subdued voice.
“……Apologize for speaking recklessly. I’m only trying to help you out of goodwill, and if you can’t trust that, you’re free to go your separate way.”
“What? What do you mean by that…”
“Goodwill is not a right. If you want to leave, then leave.”
An argument erupted again. Although Baek Yi-hyeon was the subject of this verbal fight, the people’s resentment was directed at me.
The situation was laughable. If you ask why,
“……Ah.”
Eventually, whether they believe my words or not, they’re all going to die – that’s the reality.
Black smoke gathered in the sky.
It soon formed the shape of a giant skeleton wielding a scythe.
My gaze fixed in the air, while the people fixed their gaze on me.
And then, an anomaly occurred.
Among those who only wanted to blame me, Baek Yi-hyeon, the only one who followed my gaze to the sky, widened his eyes.
“Duck down!”
The scythe traced a path. I stepped back, narrowly escaping death. A person who barely saved their life stared blankly at the sky, which soon turned into screams.
“Aaaaah!”
I knew that monsters with death attributes are drawn to places where people gather.
Baek Yi-hyeon’s greatsword emitted a brilliant white light. A strange sound filled the surroundings.
“Ugh.”
With a single slash, the monster disappeared, but Baek Yi-hyeon knelt down on one knee.
“Uhuh, huh. Uh, mom. Mom…”
“Aaah, aaaah…”
People plunged into chaos began screaming. Some ran aimlessly in any direction.
Black smoke gathered in the air. Those things, neither alive nor dead, swung their huge scythes as if harvesting human necks.
“Don’t look up, keep your head down!”
Despite rolling several times, Baek Yi-hyeon did not give up and kept swinging his sword. It must have been hard to cut down those formless beings, but he protected the people to the end.
I could only witness this scene.
“Uhuh, uhuhuh, save me…”
Everyone seemed panicked, unable to move. Even Baek Yi-hyeon’s fingertips were trembling slightly, seemingly exhausted.
He quickly dealt with the few monsters that appeared, but those that followed the fleeing people still roamed the sky.
Someone sat down and cried.
“We could have saved them! We could have fought them off… How can we not do it? Please…….”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
