“Where have you placed the gate leading to Mugan?”
In response to San’s straightforward question, the old man’s eyes narrowed.
“Why do you ask, you rascal? Planning to go catch something?”
“I have to bring it with me.”
“Well then, if it’s dead, it would have died by now.”
“…….”
It might just be speculation, but the fact that the old man brought up such a story was the problem.
Considering his personality, he certainly wouldn’t have opened a passage to Mugan for free, and there wasn’t much that Romi had that the old man would covet.
So, undoubtedly, in exchange for bringing something that could only be obtained from Seokgan or Uiguk, he would have opened the gate to Mugan.
It was a story about not letting in someone who had no chance of coming back alive in the first place.
But the fact that the old man mentioned Romi’s death so easily made it hard to ignore.
With a feeling as if blood were draining from the tips of her toes, San vomited.
“What are you talking about?”
“What am I talking about.”
“Do you know something about Romi’s well-being?”
As the silence lengthened, San’s heart began to pound rapidly.
“Answer me!”
“I-I never…?!”
Due to his agitated appearance, which was quite threatening, the old man hunched his shoulders even more on his already narrow frame.
However, his voice was as loud as a train whistle.
“How difficult it is to come back alive from there! Haven’t you experienced it? Even if you haven’t, how the hell do I know whether that little rascal is dead or alive?! Do you expect me to go into Mugan to confirm it, crazy?”
He expressed his frustration, saying that someone like him, a small fry, would undoubtedly be swept away by a monster’s claw, even once.
Belatedly, San realized that it was the old man’s cunning, and her legs wobbled as if they were released.
Seeing that, the old man clicked his tongue and spoke with a smirk.
“You left because of that kid. You don’t even understand her feelings like this?”
“She’s still a young shaman. You should have stopped her, Master.”
“Stopping her, and someone like you would listen?”
“…….”
“Tsk, it’s useless to talk to me like this. Stop blabbering and go home quietly to wait.”
Although she was a young shaman, she decided not to say that she would definitely come back alive just by looking at her determination.
Mugan was such a frightening place, and trust and faith were, in any case, matters between the two.
But then.
The old man’s ears perked up, feeling a strange presence.
Glancing toward the pitch-black forest where not a single ray of light entered, he muttered to himself as if annoyed.
“So annoying… If you’re coming, come alone. What did you bring so many things for again?”
“……?”
“You made another house move because of you!”
Shouting angrily, the old man started running in a hurry.
Then, as if entering a collapsing house to grab only a towel, he quickly grabbed one and started running without looking back.
“Master! Wait a moment! Master!”
“Don’t call me, you rascal! How long will I live to bring something like that?!”
In response to San’s call, he left only incomprehensible words, abandoning his house and fleeing as if escaping.
Belatedly sensing a suspicious presence, San turned around.
The reddish and bluish radiance began to shine, pointing somewhere dark between the dense trees.
The one who sensed his presence and readily revealed himself was a tall man, with a hunched back and shoulders, whom San had to look up to.
With black hair and a white robe, he looked like a pure virgin ghost; his identity was none other than Haemi.
“Frequent sightings.”
“…….”
“Unfortunately.”
As always, he spoke with a nonchalant gaze and tone.
“Since when have you been trailing me?”
When San asked, Haemi chuckled and replied.
“What trailing? Even though I’ve been openly following you, you didn’t notice a thing.”
“…….”
“So, shall we skip the fight and discuss the survival or longevity instead?”
At his sarcastic remark, San’s eye twitched unpleasantly.
They had often clashed in the past, and the irritation was mutual.
But at a time like this, there was nothing good about ruffling his feathers.
No matter how much the old man ran away with his tail between his legs, he couldn’t go far, and if things went south, there might be a chance to catch him and force him to pay for the crime of forcibly opening a passage to another world.
On the day when Romi was trapped without a door, no less, she would be stuck there helplessly.
San absolutely believed that she was alive. No, she had to believe it.
So, for now, the best thing to do was to divert Haemi’s attention, not to provoke him too much, and go about the business in the heavenly realm.
“Let’s go.”
San took the lead and left without looking back, and Haemi, cursing the annoying old man, stared at the old man’s shabby house without much excitement, then reached out his hand.
The golden lightning that shot from his palm quickly engulfed and incinerated the house.
Watching from a distance, the old man who had spied on the scene grimaced silently.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
