The sight of her wearing a trench coat over jeans, instead of a white uniform with golden embroidery, was very unfamiliar.
And the anticipation that she had been harboring,
“Yeah. I’m your new manager.”
It hit the mark.
Mountain also seemed quite surprised by the unexpected appearance of Seolseong, but he soon regained his characteristic composure and asked.
“How did you persuade President Hwang?”
With his chin resting on his hand, San asked with a smirk on his lips.
“Do celestial beings also use hypnosis or something?”
Seolseong responded with a sly smile.
“Most monmas can do what celestial beings can do.”
“Oh, really?”
“Then, for example, setting up a barrier, using a bit of hypnosis to gain favor, or getting involved in dreams, something like that?”
San’s attitude seemed to be telling Gang about a fact he already knew, even though it was a rather grand secret.
Her witty response wasn’t bad, and Gang also chuckled quietly.
“In that case, monmas and humans really are just a step apart.”
“…….,”
“Maybe our roots are similar.”
If Hae-mi had heard this joke, she might have tried to kill San right away, but Seol-seong kindly smiled.
It seemed that he found the stories he was telling quite interesting and creative.
“We should hurry since time is short.”
She suggested moving on, taking the lead.
“My face is already known to the monmas, so as long as I’m by your side, I won’t approach recklessly.”
She said this, and Seol-seong’s gaze turned to San.
“So you can rest assured. I will securely fill the vacancy by your side.”
Then he immediately questioned.
“Didn’t the head of the Su-guk agree to go to the celestial realm with me at midnight tonight?”
“One of the two who came down to the human world must guide you, and the other must protect this child.”
“…….,”
“The head of the celestial realm seemed to find it difficult to behave as a human in many ways, so he decided to switch roles.”
San’s face paled visibly at the news like thunder.
“What do you mean…?”
“Tonight, Hae-mi will be the one accompanying you to the celestial realm.”
“I don’t want that.”
Before the sentence ended, he intervened abruptly.
Her eyes widened.
“You don’t want to?”
“I don’t. I don’t want to look her in the eyes, I don’t want our clothes to brush against each other.”
“You’re not in a position to pick and choose like cold rice or hot rice.”
“Cold rice and hot rice have their own qualities. I don’t want to eat anything and regret it later because I was too hungry.”
Seol-seong squinted his eyes at San, who shivered at the thought of anything related to Hae-mi, looking as if he hated it.
“Then, can I accompany you, and can you entrust this child to Hae-mi-nim?”
She pointed at Gang while saying this, and San’s face now hardened, almost turning chilly.
“Next to Gang, there will be Romi. So, as you mentioned earlier, the head should take care of it.”
As he spoke about Romi, a story related to her, Seol-seong slightly furrowed one eye.
Then, seeming embarrassed, he muttered to himself.
“Uh, she still doesn’t know anything. What should I do about this…?”
Seeing her struggling expression, San immediately asked her.
“Why are you like that?”
“… That guy left without even saying hello to you.”
“What do you mean?”
Sensing that San’s tone lacked any signs of feelings, Seol-seong immediately intervened, perhaps thinking he knew something.
“Does the head of Su-guk know something by any chance?”
A brief silence passed, and Seol-seong, exhaling slowly, quietly conveyed the news about Romi.
“That child is currently in the netherworld.”
“…….,”
“Whether alive or turned into a corpse, she would be either in the human realm or in the gap of the otherworld.”
Expression on San’s face gradually faded.
“Why is Romi there?”
“Why wouldn’t she be?”
“…….,”
“Perhaps to become strong enough to protect you.”
Seol-seong occasionally shared stories about how Suins and Monmas deliberately opened a gap into the otherworld to train.
They would fall into the netherworld, close randomly, and pop back out into the human realm repeatedly, in the span of a day in human time.
And after about three years of time passing in certain areas of the netherworld where gaps opened and closed, they would return.
The meaning of this was that whether Romi was alive or dead, the time she was experiencing had already been between one to two years.
“Her loyalty is something you would know better, so you should understand why she left without saying goodbye.”
Of course, he knew.
Romi had left to come back.
The fact that she didn’t say goodbye meant that it was her own determination.
“So, it’s not the time for you to question who your companion is.”
“…….,”
“What you need to do is decipher as soon as possible and return to confirm her life or death.”
Gang rode in the car that Seol-seong was driving and headed to Samyoung’s house.
Although she hurried out, she couldn’t forget San’s last face.
And Gang was also worried about Romi.
Thinking back to their first meeting, where she couldn’t treat her warmly and kept her distance throughout, made her heart ache.
“Haah….”
Gang clasped her hands and wiped her forehead.
And for the first time in her life, she prayed to God.
To protect Romi.
To make sure she could come back alive.
The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood where Samyoung lived.
“I’ll find a place to park the car; meet me after.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll be watching you nearby, so don’t worry.”
“…….,”
As Gang was about to get off, she looked at her for a moment.
When she felt the gaze, Gang glanced at her discreetly and spoke in a calm voice.
“Sujang-nim.”
“Hmm?”
“I have something to ask.”
“What is it?”
After a short silence, another question followed.
“The purpose of the Celestials.”
“…….,”
“In fact, it’s not about the Fusion Souls, right?”
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.
