The subordinate who had gone on reconnaissance replied,
“It’s that, from a certain moment, I can’t see. The snowstorm is so severe that I can’t see the footsteps, and it’s hard to find.”
He had given up after all.
He hadn’t expected to follow this treacherous mountain path to the end from the beginning, but life as a hunter was never easy.
He couldn’t accept someone as a member of the organization without a certain level of ferocity.
Especially since there had never been a precedent for female hunters in Rickaion.
He tried to cut off his interest as if nothing had happened.
He hadn’t attacked the bandits to save her in the first place.
The woman had received help from him as a result of fortuitously stumbling upon her while completing a request, and his duty had ended with saving her life.
After that, whether the woman lived or died had nothing to do with him.
But strangely, he felt a nagging discomfort, as if he had left something important behind.
She was the woman who had been improperly wearing her shoes, being chased by bandits when he first saw her.
Moreover, the look in her eyes when she said she would become a Rickaion was sincere.
It was a dangerous eye that didn’t know its own limits.
“It won’t do.”
He stopped speaking and called someone.
“Sergeant.”
“Yes, Captain.”
As the sergeant approached, he spoke calmly,
“I will personally go and bring that woman, so you go ahead and lead the subordinates back to the village.”
“What? But it’s dangerous to go alone because of the blizzard!”
“I don’t want to hear that someone died because of me anymore. Moreover, there’s a high possibility that the bandit scum is still nearby. They’re likely already furious at us, and if they find that woman again, they won’t hesitate.”
As he spoke seriously, the sergeant’s face grew serious, and he nodded.
“Understood. You must return safely.”
“Right. Don’t worry and go ahead.”
The members were secretly very interested in her.
While none of them voiced it, they were curious whether she would truly follow them and hoped that she would pass the test safely.
As the sergeant led his colleagues on ahead, he hid and transformed into a horse after they had gotten far enough away.
The fact that he was of the ‘Kelpie’ tribe, a minority that could transform into a horse, was known only to the sergeant among his subordinates.
Had he run quickly, waving his mane?
Finally, he found the blonde woman collapsed in the middle of the narrow road.
She had followed, struggling, without giving up, and in the end, she had collapsed in the snow.
Jackal couldn’t help but find it absurd.
Death is not frightening, she said.
He, who had faced the threshold of life and death countless times, felt a bit contemptuous of her for uttering such words lightly.
But why? Her image overlapped with his own when he was leaving the village.
He too had been ready to do anything to survive on the day he left the village.
As he approached, catching his ragged breath, she looked up at him with halfclosed eyes.
Seeing a faint smile appear on her pale, trembling lips, he clicked his tongue inwardly.
It was as if he had discovered a flower deer resurrected from death in the snow.
But then she looked at him and said with a smile,
“I don’t know if horses resemble their owners, but… what a clever and handsome horse.”
At those words, he inadvertently revealed a startled emotion on his face.
Fortunately, being in the form of a horse, it didn’t show much, but already in his heart, affection for her had blossomed.
Jackal wrapped the wolf fur that he had been wearing before transforming around Asha’s body, then hoisted her onto his back and ran down the snowy path.
He was already uncomfortable with her bare skin touching his, and when she suddenly buried her face in the back of his head, he twitched.
While he was transformed into a horse, his senses, especially his sense of smell, were heightened several times.
The fragrant and mysterious body odor emanating from her made it impossible for him to regain his composure.
Jackal raised his head and hurriedly ignored it, hastening his steps to reach the village as quickly as possible.
He didn’t know if he would have to cut off a finger or toe if he was exposed to the cold for too long in this weather.
While he was sitting by the fireplace, lost in thought, Yuris and the doctor arrived in the room unnoticed.
“Leader.”
“Yuris.”
She slightly bowed her head to greet him.
Jackal spoke, his expression relaxing.
“I’m sorry to ask you to do this all of a sudden. It would be awkward if I did it myself, so……”
“It’s okay.”
Yuris smiled faintly. She was one of the few female members here.
It was a typical case of a subordinate being welcomed and becoming a member.
Yuris playfully muttered, soaking a towel in warm water.
“But if it’s for your companion, it wouldn’t be bad if the leader did it himself……”
He flinched in front of the fireplace. Yuris secretly giggled.
She gently wiped Asha’s frozen body with the warmed towel.
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.
