They arrived at the village of Kamun just as dawn was breaking.
It had taken over six hours of travel. Unlike the previous three days she had spent walking alone, this time Luella Rominin had comfortably sat in a carriage for just half a day with her companions.
Back then, Kite, Hazen, and Tien had protected her, but Luella had not known that fact, so her feelings had been quite different. She had been excited by the all-purpose map and herbs, yet occasionally overwhelmed by fear and loneliness.
Inside the carriage, with its cover drawn to avoid the morning dew, she looked out at the distant Kamun mansion.
It was where she, Luella Rominin, had started. She only now realized that the mansion that stood like a background next to the beginner zone in the game was the Kamun mansion.
Suddenly, she found it regrettable that Kite was not with them. As the Kamun mansion got closer, Luella impulsively spoke.
“Should we party with Kite?”
Hazen asked in a stern voice.
“Why all of a sudden? Yesterday, you so coldly disbanded the party.”
“Just. I thought he might be curious.”
“Go ahead.”
Mitchel, who had parked the carriage in the forest clearing in front of the mansion, turned to encourage her. Luella suppressed her eagerness to invite the party for now. It seemed like it would take time after all. It was just past dawn.
“Will he be awake?”
“At this time… yes. He’s not someone who sleeps a lot.”
After hesitating for a moment, Luella invited Kite. A little time passed, and Kite joined the party.
[/Party What are you all doing at this hour?] [/Party Why do you think we’re up to something?]Hazen protested as if wronged by Kite’s immediate nagging upon receiving the party invite.
[/Party It’s the prime time for sleep, especially for Hazen and Luella. Aren’t you two not the types to wake up at this time?] [/Party Oh, it’s very unpleasant to be lumped together with Hazen.] [/Party I should say so. I wake up a little earlier than Luella.]Mitchel dropped a retort to Hazen’s rebuttal.
[/Party Yeah. A little. Like 30 minutes.]Just as it looked like the chat was going to segue into idle chatter, Kite quickly cut it off.
[/Party Phew, just tell me what you’re up to.] [/Party We’re on our way to hunt in Oruwal Kingdom’s abandoned hunting ground.]Hazen reported, leaving out the fact that they were in front of the Kamun mansion, perhaps fearing a scolding.
[/Party Why there?] [/Party If Luella reaches level 20, what was it?] [/Party The Housing System.] [/Party She can learn that.] [/Party What’s it for?]Seeing Kite’s sharp tone, Hazen hastily elaborated.
[/Party We can build a defense system for the mansion we’re in. Decided it would be good to learn it sooner rather than later, considering Balder broke in yesterday.] [/Party Would have been good if we had gone together. Why do things happen when I’m not there?]As expected, Kite’s irritation was evident in the chat.
“Because you weren’t there. Could it have been possible if you were?”
Muttering not in the chat, but aloud, Hazen extended his palm as if in agreement. Luella high-fived him, then returned to the chat.
[/Party That’s how it turned out. And when we went to find Balder, we really intended to only complete a quest. During monster hunts, everyone had fancy weapons, and I was the only one with a beginner’s weapon. It’s also a weapon that multiplies your stats, so I wanted it. My current healing capacity is insufficient and my mana pool is so small that it drains after just a few skill uses.] [/Party You can just make that.] [/Party It’s a healer-exclusive weapon. Incomparable to something just made.] [/Party I’ll have to see how amazing it is when I get back.] [/Party Yes, I’ll show you when we return. We should get going now.] Avoiding further conversation that would only lead to more nagging from Kite, Luella pretended to be busy. In truth, she needed to finish the hunting quest before people began to roam around as the day brightened.As she pondered the right timing to disband the party with him, Kite added another comment.
[/Party Don’t disband the party. Just leave it as it is.] [/Party Sometimes you have to disband it, not knowing the value of the party window.] [/Party Then kick others out but leave me. I’m worried.]It was nothing special, yet her face turned red as she read the text. Luella quickly responded and descended from the carriage.
[/Party Yeah. Whatever.]As she hurriedly attempted to end the conversation and leave, Lapellian, who had been helping her out of the carriage, glanced at her flushed face in curiosity.
“Luella, are you feeling sick? You seem to have a fever?”
Luella fanned her face quickly, cooling it down, and shook her head.
“No. It’s just already warm, even though it’s dawn.”
Confused, Lapellian tilted his head.
“Warm? It feels rather chilly to me….”
Lapellian yelled to Luella, who was quickly moving away.
“You might not be well because you’re tired. Let’s find a safe spot and rest after meeting the maid Shunara.”
Mitchell approached and said,
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
