“Okay, I’ll go back. Activating the teleportation skill.”
“All right. To go home… Wait, where is this? Somehow it looks familiar.”
Before the words could finish, the group who had left the cave found themselves standing in a bustling square where people were chattering.
“This is Kamun Village Square.”
In response to Ruela’s answer, everyone turned to her with astonished expressions.
“Weren’t we going home? No, more importantly, how did we end up in the middle of the village like this?”
Hazen, with a surprised look, protested in a somewhat awkward laughter to the people who were staring at them.
People were murmuring and grumbling as they saw them suddenly appear in the middle of the square.
Ruela and her companions tried to casually engage in conversation and quickly left the place.
“I didn’t expect it to be in the middle like this.”
Well, to be honest, she knew, but she probably didn’t anticipate such a situation.
In the game, everyone teleported here and there, so even if someone appeared next to you, it wasn’t a big deal. So, until they teleported to the village and encountered the surprised people, they hadn’t thought about it.
“Why on earth did we come here?”
“We have to send a letter to Lord Valder and find a horse.”
“Oh, a horse… But now that we’ve reached level 53, don’t we need to look for a horse anymore?”
“Yes, yes. You don’t have to go looking for a horse now. You can relax. But that doesn’t mean we won’t have to teleport to other villages in the future, so situations like this will continue to happen.”
After finishing her sentence, Ruela looked around, asking,
“Where can I send the letter?”
“Usually, if you leave the letter at the inn, the postman comes once a day to collect the mail.”
“Then I’ll go to the inn. Will you wait?”
“You can’t go, Ruela. Don’t forget that you’re a declared hostile target. I’ll go and deliver it. Give me the letter.”
When Tien reached out her hand, Ruela handed over the letter she had written on the way from the carriage. Tien’s expression distorted as she looked at the letter with crooked and sloppy writing, lacking any sincerity.
“Don’t you have an envelope or something? It looks too straightforward without one.”
“Where would I find such a thing? I barely managed to get this paper to write on.”
“Oh, come on. Give me my cravat from earlier. I’ll wrap it with that.”
Ruela took out Tien’s cravat from her pants pocket.
“It’s a shame to give it to Valder.”
“It’s better than the letter contents being blatantly visible. Quickly give it to me.”
Tien tightly wrapped the letter with the cravat and delivered it to the inn located right in front of the teleportation point.
“Luckily, the postman was here. They said he won’t be collecting letters tomorrow because it’s a day off, so it’s a good thing you brought it today. Otherwise, Valder might have received it only after the vigorous martial arts competition.”
“Let’s go for now. More and more people are gathering.”
“Do you have to say something like an excuse?”
In response to Raphael’s words, Mitchell pushed his back and chuckled.
“Why make excuses? Just shake hands.”
“Shake hands? Why?”
“Because it seems like we’ll keep attracting attention like this. It’s better to casually act like nothing is wrong.”
Following Mitchell’s suggestion, Raphael shook hands with the people who were looking at them.
“Do we really have to walk to the hunting ground?”
“It’s not that far. It’s only about a 20-minute walk.”
“Let’s not forget that we just defeated five monsters.”
“And our stamina is fully charged. Don’t exaggerate.”
“There’s something called mental fatigue. Stonehead here. The guy whose expression changes as soon as Vincenty is mentioned is now full of vigor after catching him.”
“Everyone, stop arguing and look ahead.”
Mitchell and Raphael, who were grumbling, looked forward at Tien’s gesture.
Ruela and Kite were walking side by side at the front, and behind them, Hazen followed stealthily with a furtive posture.
“Hazen, what is that guy doing?”
“He says he wants to hear what Kite and Ruela are talking about because their relationship seems strange.”
“Did they fight again?”
At Raphael’s question, Mitchell and Tien glanced at him as if he were pathetic.
“What’s wrong with both of you looking at me like that?”
“How can you make such a judgment when you saw the same thing?”
When Mitchell let out a sarcastic laughter as if amazed, for some reason, Raphael, whose pride was hurt, became visibly angry.
“They’re always fighting. Did I say something wrong?”
“Is that what you call fighting? Oh, you’re so clueless.”
“If it’s not a fight, what is it?”
At Raphael’s complaint, Tien also clicked her tongue.
“Oh, this clueless guy. Kite, you know, likes Ruela. Isn’t it weirder not to notice when he’s expressing it all over his body?”
“Who? Kite?”
“Yes, Kite.”
“Okay, Kite.”
Simultaneously answering Mitchell and Tien, Raphael turned his gaze back to the front.
Kite was tilting his head to the side, nodding to hear what Ruela was saying.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
