“You crazy fox!”e9a91129d57e6fc2

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.446703338296bcb2

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.d360bcbc42730a3e

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.54ef52aafe8598ef

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.9f87a8158e661f57

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.3c962915344d962c

“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.83adf665a80cd6f0

“Why is your arm like that…?”53a3b5cd1e262fd4

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.f9bf1f784eac26a5

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.378420bfb3ec8ae7

“We need to tear off the rest to find the jewel.”124e56f83a1a5877

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.0025a0370851f911

Do they ede766cd90 need to 479616062c look far 7e5fc97200 for a c45ab4036b solution? He could approach 9f72076775 the Divine Tree 9ac6895990 and tear it 0e37c39430 off with little 073c9635b6 trouble.

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.35bdd6e610345852

Although he had 8568797720 decided to give 41b0b2fe59 his life to 178e87e401 Yeon, if he 5121915793 needed to tear a112e23391 off the talismans, 371c2b5516 he was more b87c6d50d7 than willing to fc2edca99a help.

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?b5c2adc56db216c8

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.a96baac95b2a8de7

Seonwoo was probably the e6ddbb1b25 only one who could 4b9cbd2c13 tear off those talismans. Especially since they were f16cf6de1c used to seal Yeon 2d597e3c68 himself, there was no 8c80b478b2 way for him to ed3c256789 do it on his 49913d4b92 own.a8d2a6cd619b081b

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.56fe7c36dfee6082

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.526bedeaaaf4838f

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.1b50d6b4ee52d129

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.

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?”40917bbbf2e3b3c1

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.4ea426ace85d0d20
