Evelia forcefully closed her eyes and then opened them. Unsatisfied, she rubbed them fiercely.
Even after that, the hamster was still in the same spot, ardently grooming itself with an adorable look.
“……Did I hear wrong?”
She mumbled with a halfdazed face. It was something unthinkable. A hamster speaking. Could that possibly be a thing?
Quickly clearing her confusion, she got up slowly from her place with a weary look and approached the table where the hamster was sitting.
“Where did you come from?”
Her face, now more relaxed, looked intently at the small creature. The hamster, comfortably grooming itself, stopped and tilted its head diagonally.
A ‘squeak’ seemed like a sound that would suit it perfectly. The sight was so adorable that Evelia couldn’t help but smile softly.
“I must be going mad. I thought you spoke a moment ago. That’s really absurd.”
Muttering to herself, she cautiously reached out her hand. Contrary to her expectation that it would run away at once, the hamster accepted her touch and stayed put.
It must be someone’s pet hamster. Otherwise, it couldn’t so casually tolerate a person’s touch.
“You are really gentle, aren’t you? Knowing even to enjoy human touch. I’ll have to ask Phaylin to find your owner.”
Evelia’s eyes narrowed as she bent at the waist, and an image of Phaylin’s delighted face running towards her came to mind, probably thinking she’d decided to have a meal.
Surely, he would be disappointed when he found out that wasn’t the case.
Somehow, she already felt sorry for Phaylin. But she couldn’t keep a hamster with an owner in her bedroom like this.
Evelia began to walk towards the bell near the bed. That’s when the unbelievable happened again.
[Dash] Could you hear my voice?Hearing someone’s voice again, Evelia stopped dead in her tracks with a thoughtful face.
It was not a hallucination. It was definitely someone’s voice.
Evelia turned around slowly. The hamster was still in its place, sitting there. Its adorable expression unchanged.
Except for the hamster, she was the only one in the bedroom. But where could the sound have come from?
If she was not mad, the hamster must have spoken. But was this even a conceivable situation? A hamster speaking. Speaking in a human language.
“……Was that you who spoke just now?”
Even though it seemed impossible, Evelia asked with a terrified face.
A sense of selfreproach for speaking to a hamster like a mad person welled up, but she had definitely heard a human voice.
It was clear and vivid.
“I definitely heard something.”
“…….”
“……Could it be, you?”
She asked again, facing the unresponsive hamster. Then, she wished more than anything for the hamster to stay just as it was.
Not more, not less, just for about 10 seconds.
If so, she could rationalize that she had a hallucination due to excessive lack of sleep. But Evelia’s wish was not fulfilled.
[Dash] Can you hear me?With a face pale as chalk, Evelia quickly turned her head, searching every nook and cranny without missing a single spot to find the voice’s owner. But there was nothing to be seen.
A terror that could not be described in words swallowed her up in an instant.
She trembled all over as she stumbled backward. She could only think that the hamster had spoken.
“I, I must really be mad…….”
With unfocused eyes, Evelia looked at the hamster. Her mumbling voice was entirely soaked in fear. It was a type of terror she had never felt before in her life. But there was an even greater fear still to come.
Clearly sitting quietly on the table, the hamster suddenly began to tease Evelia with its adorable legs.
Terrified, Evelia fell backward and screamed loudly.
“Aaa! Don’t come! Oh, don’t come…!!”
[Dash]Don’t scream!A strange voice urgently interjected between the instinctive shrieks. The rather firm tone made Evelia unconsciously press her lips together.
In the meantime, the hamster had climbed onto the hem of Evelia’s fallen dress. Just that made Evelia’s heart beat as if it would burst, and she felt like she might faint at any moment.
But what on earth was happening?
The hamster began to rub its hands as if grooming. The strange thing was, it didn’t look like it was just grooming.
It looked like it was rubbing its two hands together. Like a gesture made when having done something wrong or for a polite request.
Your maid has been guarding the door for a while now. I won’t harm you. I’ll never harm you. I promise. So don’t scream, please.
Adding the subsequent words, it seemed even more so.
Moreover, how the hamster knew that Faelin was guarding the bedroom door… it was truly a shocking affair.
Evelia was trembling with fear but couldn’t take her eyes off the hamster. It seemed like a disaster would occur if she looked away even for a moment.
“Are you really the one, speaking?”
Trying to sound as calm as possible, she ended up stammering. But that wasn’t the important thing.
The red eyes stared at her for a long time and then tilted its head again.
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.
