No sooner had my words ended than Greed’s eyes widened, and it spat out an insincere line of courtesy.
[My master is only the great god Irkalla. Worship Irkalla!]“Now speak normally.”
Reina, who had been looking at Greed, turned to me. I scratched my cheek and responded.
“It always does that when talking about its master.”
Being a sin created by god Irkalla, it was natural to worship so blindly.
But Reina didn’t seem to like it and roughly grabbed Greed’s neck.
[What, what is this! Let go of me! What is this all of a sudden!]Greed flailed, but Reina didn’t budge and spoke to me seriously.
“If you wish, I will train it and return it.”
“Train?”
“Applying physical pressure and reverse summoning with the sealing stone…”
The gist was that it would eventually adapt to the situation if reverse summoned an infinite number of times.
In other words, control it through violence.
Greed’s eyes bulged as it understood what Reina was suggesting. Greed screamed in agony.
[I object! Strongly object! Irkalla said I’m quite cute!]“…….”
[Animal abuse!!!]When it was at a disadvantage, it now had no qualms about calling itself an animal.
Its big eyes were tearful, and it looked as pitiful as a rainsoaked black fox.
“Just leave it alone. Although its tone is a bit annoying, it’s an economic use of language. We should keep it faithful to its concept.”
“……Yes.”
Reina, with a dissatisfied face, released Greed’s neck.
[Whew! Save Greed……!]Greed, judging that I would protect it from Reina, immediately rushed over and hugged me tightly.
It was very adorable, shivering.
‘Oops, I must be careful. Don’t be seduced by its appearance.’
But I couldn’t resist its tiny feet twitching.
(This is a time separator.)
I decided to go to the auction house where I had won the sealing stone earlier. There was no better place to test the ability.
This time, too, I borrowed a hooded cloak from Reina, as there might be people who knew me. The length was so long that it covered my hands and was still much left.
“It’s too big.”
When I stretched out my hands and grumbled, Reina folded my sleeves for me.
Mario, who brought two cloaks as an excuse for dressing up, poked his eyes with two fingers.
“I didn’t see anything. I didn’t see anything…….”
It seemed out of character with what Reina usually did.
But I hadn’t seen how Reina interacted with other mercenary members, so I was puzzled as to why he was making such a fuss.
“Is this okay?”
“I think folding it one more time would be better.”
“Yes.”
At my request, Reina folded my sleeve once more. Mario was blatantly frowning, looking elsewhere.
“If your business is done, go.”
“You said to prepare the identity badge, didn’t you?”
“Hand it over and leave.”
“I was going to leave anyway!”
Hmph! Mario, turning his head away coldly, placed his identification card on the table and stormed out of the office.
Reian didn’t even bother to look at Mario leaving and extended his hand to me.
“I will escort you.”
“Okay.”
I put my hand on Reian’s, but doubt crept in.
I had heard rumors that the Mercenary King Ian was of commoner origin, so why was he so proficient in escorting and noble manners?
It seemed like a habit ingrained in his body, not something he learned quickly.
‘He really is a suspicious person.’
I had asked Yansie to investigate Reian, so I would soon find out his secrets.
We headed straight to the auction house. All the way there, Greed kept mumbling incessantly.
[I want to leave too.]“No. It’s too conspicuous to carry a pet around.”
[Hmph.]Greed kept grumbling inside the sealing stone. It seemed stifling. When I sighed, Reian narrowed his eyebrows and spoke.
“Shall I train it if it keeps making noise?”
[Me, me, I’ll be quiet now.]“It will be quiet.”
Thanks to Reian’s subtle threat, Greed really did quiet down.
Entering the auction house was as smooth as before. As I showed the ID that Mario had prepared, they let us in without even checking our faces properly.
But as we walked down the auction house corridor, Reian’s expression gradually hardened.
“Why[—].”
“There’s an expert in ambush.”
Having experienced an attack once, I couldn’t help but tense up.
When I froze, Reian pulled me protectively.
“The intention seems to be protection, not assassination. You can relax.”
“Protection? Who are they protecting?”
“It seems that a highranking person has visited the auction house[—].”
During our conversation, we had arrived at our seats in front of the stage where the auction was taking place.
A highranking person? Would it be a direct line or a branch of the Four Great Families? Whoever I encountered would be a nuisance, so I carefully pulled my hood over.
“Let’s check the ability and leave quickly.”
“Yes.”
I sat down, intending to quickly scan the auction items and leave.
But no items worth evaluating appeared. Just as I was wondering if I should try anything, I heard a voice.
“Why is it like this? All the goods are subpar.”
I had definitely heard that familiar voice before. It came from right in front of me.
I quickly clamped my mouth shut when I saw the side profile of the person who wasn’t even hiding his face.
‘The Second Prince?!’
The Second Prince Beltran was sitting in front of me.
You were the highranking noble who brought a lot of escorts?
I must never, ever be found!
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.
