“You crazy fox!”6bd1e21a4584335b

Seonwoo struggled free from Yeon’s grasp and dashed to the bedroom entrance. Leaning against the door, panting, he glared at Yeon on the bed and yelled.00f5dd59c91aefcd

Yeon looked up, seemingly indignant. Seonwoo only then noticed that Yeon’s wide-open eyes were just like the ones he’d seen in the afterlife. That meant his condition was very good.59a56cd43d1814e4

This time, Seonwoo didn’t hide his flushed face from rage and spat out his true feelings. His shoulders rose and fell with heavy breathing, his fists trembling. Though not the laughing face he was curious about, Yeon’s eyes crinkled with amusement at Seonwoo’s childlike appearance. His white hair fell to one side, revealing his elegant profile.57481809c04cdb12

Having chased the bed’s owner away, Yeon, now occupying the bed, rested his chin on his hand, giving a bewitching smile as he whispered.0f75a85298b82751

Yeon, lying on the bed with his chin propped up, wagged his tail and smirked. Seonwoo couldn’t help but agree with the opinion of the three gods who had called him a sly fox.e1e068c47ebcfb01

“Hmm,” Yeon tilted his head, looking at Seonwoo with a crooked gaze. As Seonwoo, with his back against the wall in defense, scrunched his eyes, he suddenly noticed something and asked urgently.55612c401b5123a2

“Why is your arm like that…?”1a03095f2619d90e

Through the fallen sleeve, Yeon’s arm was red and inflamed. Although it had calmed down a bit since yesterday, his skin was so pale that even the slightest blemish was noticeable, and the wound was too large. The scars spread across his forearm in various patterns. Seonwoo, rushing back to Yeon, furrowed his brows.3d0989a30ddb2d9a

“But the seal was broken. Do we need to tear off the rest?”f83dfbb5786c357d

Seonwoo asked seriously while examining Yeon’s arm. Considering his actions and arrogant demeanor, Seonwoo had thought Yeon was a very powerful divine beast, but the serious scars on his arm were shocking.1243909cf7351111

“We need to tear off the rest to find the jewel.”f25d139a786b00cc

Seonwoo’s head shook as he gripped his own hand tightly. Where did the ferocity that seemed ready to claw someone go, replaced by a comical look of concern? With a body that looked like it would collapse if touched, who was he worrying about? The wound would heal completely in a day or two anyway.520c385dda23726f

Do they b18ba92a54 need to b460bd98d9 look far a89fc16fbc for a 68696a3b7a solution? He could approach 5eae8c98ff the Divine Tree 394b5b5440 and tear it a57b880006 off with little fcc56e2fb9 trouble. Sure, it 340d4faca8 hurt a 2d7ee30e87 lot afterward, 6a03543e3c and he 1c47846e90 had a d07ecb656b nosebleed, but 9f9c7e423f it was 2c3cf40a66 brief, and b92c4abe76 he felt 33fbbd6023 better once 1eefdaabe0 he came 79a99c85e9 to.75a9b8cab8cc2a62

Following this train of thought, Seonwoo, startled, let go of Yeon’s hand like he’d dropped something hot.20d4b81cab88e6b2

As Yeon’s eyebrows twitched at his suddenly free hand, Seonwoo avoided his gaze, putting distance between them. He didn’t want Yeon to see his face turning red at the memory of the artificial respiration after collapsing.9fedb65fec7cd589

Although he had e7687ec2dc decided to give a654f6b33d his life to d32c8fbc8e Yeon, if he 6a9fc4c330 needed to tear 3b1733b33b off the talismans, a982e0a32e he was more 2cb82a9aa1 than willing to 4d2d94b337 help. Feeling an obligation after 02715d2f5b having one-sidedly passed on 982e1db7bf his life, he wanted fda498e57a to do something in e337e26d2c return.6c63847ee510e99c

But if he had to collapse again and do CPR… No, did you do CPR today too? Is there no other way? There were dozens of talismans; how many times would they have to do this?27e202835b0f967c

Yeon, watching Seonwoo’s face turn pale then flush repeatedly, turned over, shaking his ears. He should scold him for rolling around on the bed, but Seonwoo was too busy trembling and staring at the floor.fc4746242264a21d

Seonwoo was probably the a64f57c0b7 only one who could 4a69a2889d tear off those talismans. Especially since 5d3aa83ca7 they were 6befe6a830 used to 9132129955 seal Yeon fff01da898 himself, there c68e6f8922 was no 6155f1d3d3 way for c5d06d8cc4 him to a6827c5199 do it 87023e373e on his 02a76f0291 own.7ee030a9f96d4142

He didn’t want to see Seonwoo struggle and bleed on the ground multiple times. The divine beasts of Yama might eagerly rush in, but Yeon was far from sadistic.375bdb5971257ce9

Knowing that tearing off the talismans would deepen Seonwoo’s scent and restore his own power, yet no appealing method came to mind, Yeon grew annoyed. Though he had acted fussy, he still had some of the steel’s power, and he had replenished with Seonwoo’s scent. When full, he just wanted to rest comfortably.677139bb712e6579

The ice chocolate cup was half-melted and dripping. Seonwoo, coming out of his reverie, let out an “Ahh,” and took the straw in his mouth. As he sipped, his eyes kept darting to Yeon, who was rolling around on the bed.f7a140263687421b

After living for over 500 years, it wouldn’t be surprising. Biting his lips and glaring, Seonwoo watched as Yeon couldn’t hide his smile, pressing his finger against Seonwoo’s forehead. Seonwoo’s eyes widened at the brief flash of gold from Yeon’s fingertip.87db136e1789538a

The headache from the back of his head cleared, his shoulders felt lighter. And this time, it wasn’t through the mouth but just a touch of the finger, making his heart feel lighter too.

Such a small thing, bustling around so busily. When Seonwoo was washing clothes and sheets, running the vacuum, Yeon’s tail swished in displeasure, leading to him being forcefully combed.30ebc80780ae48b4

At times 1cb13edae0 like these, 07c8254014 he seemed aa359ea69f so ordinary. What was driving this f4bf6d3251 kid to the brink? Yeon slowly blinked, 282889629b not seeing the 27661aa4d8 child who had e191ef79fe begged for death 6fcbcec817 so many times. Despite knowing 46d2ea3c8b he would 932fd17590 eventually devour 459c4482d5 him, unnecessary 5cca6b7e96 curiosity kept a84c6999cd popping up 9fa28f1b2f and fading 40da823c0b in his 375782cd6d mind.631ab5d623b2eb6a

Maybe it was because he slept too long and was bored. As Yeon pondered these unusual questions, Seonwoo passed by with a mop, the sweet scent of osmanthus tickling his nose, making him want to sneeze. He asked Seonwoo, who was wiping the windowsill, “Why didn’t you come in yesterday?”55b79a6b44c1c093

Why were you out in the rain? What upset you yesterday? Seonwoo’s hand paused at Yeon’s question while he was vigorously cleaning the window. Without looking up, he tried to answer as casually as possible while continuing to mop.8d2ded11f9552523

Seonwoo tried to avoid answering, but his eyes met Yeon’s black gaze, which seemed to peer into him. Those black eyes were hard to read, and with the sunlight making them shine, they looked hollow, like they were twisting his insides.96116574729e380d
