Regressor Instruction Manual Chapter 431: Life Threat (1)

Chapter 431: Life Threat (1)

The fact that the medicine’s effect had already run out was utterly ridiculous.
I bet an improvised marriage would almost prove to be a mythic-grade potion made just to appease Jung Hayan. It would even be more satisfying than brewing up an elixir.
If I were to exaggerate this a little bit, there would be no shortage in expressing it as the supreme elixir that could calm any anger.
‘Is it too loose?’
I had to regret what had previously happened a little. I had said I was busy, but it only made me feel like I had neglected to manage her.
Of course, I couldn’t help it when I had been in Salit’s stomach with Elena.
‘No, that’s not it. If I think about it, it wasn’t necessarily like that.’
I started to reflect on myself, but considering what I had done so far, I realized that I hadn’t really neglected her that much.
As I knew how terrifying Jung Hayan could be when she was out of her mind, I had to devote my time to her to a certain extent, even during the busiest times. For example, I could take her out on a short date.
Even if my schedule proved to be hectic, I always made sure to hug her during breaks, and I even took a piece of my time to give her peace of mind by executing physical contact. I had done my best to take care of her.
Had it been her usual self, that would’ve been enough to satisfy her.
I thought that the reason reality came so quickly could be because she had raised her overall expectations. Had she been her usual self, she could have been satisfied with just having spending time with me like that, but the medicine called marriage had now raised the bars higher.
It was like becoming more and more resistant to a drug the more one took it into their body. This reminded me of the saying, ‘Do someone a favor, and it becomes your job,’ she also considered the favors I did for her as her natural right.
‘I’m a bride-to-be, so it’s only natural.’
‘I’m a bride-to-be, so you have to do this much.’
It had been normalized at this point. I didn’t exactly know what Jung Hayan was thinking, but I knew she was thinking those kinds of thoughts.
‘I should have controlled my progress with her better.’
Looking at her madness-stained face, I realized that I made a terrible mistake.
The medicine I administered in Laios was certainly used too prematurely.
I thought about taking back her ‘natural right,’ but when I saw Jung Hayan’s face, such an option had automatically been removed.
I didn’t just rule out my thoughts because I knew that giving and taking it back was the worst I could possibly do. If I were to take away the rights she could deservedly enjoy, it could lead to a headache.
“You said we were going to get married… Sniff.”
Even though she had been thinking of a scene I didn’t even want to imagine, watching Jung Hayan cry indeed felt painful.
Her face displayed resentment against Cha Hee-ra, as well as her distrust of me. It was hard to see her like that.
She didn’t openly reveal hostility, but she did express her dissatisfaction with me.
“I said I’m busy right now…”
“You… said we were getting married. Sniff. When are we going to… When? W-When!?”
‘Look at her raising her voice. Did she go nuts…?’
“Raising your voice like that won’t solve…”
“Sniff. I hate Cha Hee-ra… I hate her so much. Soooo much!”
‘You provoked her first.’
Even the way she started talking to herself was quite spectacular to watch.
Her voice was too quiet to be heard, but she was definitely talking to herself. It was unimaginable to see the usual Jung Hayan screaming at me.
I realized how extreme her anger had become at that moment.
‘Should I shout as well?’
Power should be dominated over through even greater power.
I wanted to shout ‘how dare you raise your voice at me!’ like the eighth leader of the Yangban family, born in the Joseon Dynasty, but her eyes, looking at me, were not shaken like the loyalists who didn’t succumb to harsh torture.
‘Fucking scary.’
She was like a bomb that was about to explode.
“Who told you to raise your voice like that?”
Amid my own confusion, a loud sound began to come out of my mouth unconsciously.
“Sniiiiffff.”
When she bit her lips tightly as her arms trembled, I started thinking that it wasn’t going to work.
She couldn’t hear my voice at that moment. It was natural that I even thought about bringing Kim Hyunsung in to utterly defeat her.
I wanted to pull my body back a little, but her hands holding onto my collar didn’t want me to move.
If we were secluded or in a closed room, I would’ve peed my pants.
‘What should I do?’
It was impossible to administer stronger medicine in the current situation. If I raised the bar one step further, I might find myself later on in a situation I could no longer handle.
Looking at Jung Hayan staring at me with her glaring eyes sharply raised, apologetic feelings welled up, however…
I had to think about something that could overcome the current situation first.
‘Should I gently soothe her as I did with Hee-ra yesterday? No. That’s not right. I could be doomed.’
It was only natural to worry about whether the same thing would happen again.
I recalled the memory of enjoying the temptation that entered through my whole body and into my mind. However…
‘I only have this.’
Unlike the previous situation where there were only two on the griffon, I was in the middle of Lindel.
As I saw in the unicorn case, Jung Hayan wanted to keep a pure position more than anyone else. I could guarantee that she wouldn’t blindly attack me like Cha Hee-ra would.
‘The effect has already been proven.’
The method might be slightly different, but it should appease Jung Hayan, who was currently getting even angrier.
As I slowly peeled her off since she had buried her face in my chest, I could see her teary eyes more clearly.
I gave her the most alluring smile I could muster, looked at her, closed in on her face, then kissed her eyes.
“Don’t cry, Hayan.”
“Sniff…”
After stroking her hair with my fingers, I began to touch her ears gently.
“I told you that the situation is a little unfavorable right now. I told you many times to understand if it’s something related to work… If you whine because of this kind of stuff, it’ll be a little hard for me, too.”
“Ahhh…”
It’s wasn’t much, but it was a touch that stimulated the five senses for some reason.
As expected, she began to tremble and blush. I was worried that her legs would soon turn rubbery and sit down on the floor.
“Aaaahh.”
Her reaction proved to be more intense than I expected.
“Why wouldn’t I want to get married to you immediately? I have to be patient because of the situation. Just thinking of you every day… makes my heart burst. Look. Like this…”
My heart was pounding because of fear, but I whispered sweet words in her ear and did my best to alleviate her anger in my own way.
In fact, it was not that I didn’t have any physical contact until that moment, but it would be more impactful this way.
I was in a situation where I was trying to sprinkle pheromones as much as possible, after all.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh.”
Something felt off.
“Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.”
Not only did her breathing become harsher, but the way she was looking at me had also changed.
Her eyes, which seemed to have lost their morals, were now changing bizarrely. For some reason, Jung Hayan was blushing, and she had started twisting her body. I didn’t know if she was crying or laughing.
‘This fucking…’
My consciousness had now begun to blur.
‘Huh? What’s going on… What?’
I was starting to feel sleepy, and my legs felt like they were slowly losing strength. I tried my best to keep my increasingly heavier eyelids open, but I found that I couldn’t stop it.
‘Is this your doing, Jung Hayan?’
I couldn’t even feel her magic power rising, let alone the spell. I didn’t know if it was an aftereffect from Cha Hee-ra finally hitting me, or if it was Jung Hayan who was the perpetrator, but I slowly began to tilt my body forward.
I then heard a voice in my ear.
“A-A-Are you tired?”
Her voice didn’t seem worried at all. In fact, she sounded pleased. Though she tried her best to look worried, I knew her all too well. Her desires were practically glistening.
“I-I’ll take you there. T-T-To your room. You should take a good rest today. Hehehehe…”
“Ah… Yes. Suddenly my body is so… p-potion, please…”
“I-I will feed you. First, lean over h-here. Here.”
“Right now…”
“Ah, okay…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Wake… up.”
“…”
“Oppa, wake up. You said you had a meeting. What are you doing? What’s this?”
“Lee Jihye…?”
I slowly opened my eyes.
I didn’t know what time it was, but since I could still see the brightness of the day, it didn’t seem like it had been a long time since I lost consciousness.
I thought I was with Jung Hayan, but Lee Jihye turned out to be the one sitting next to me. She had a flustered and worried look on her.
Meanwhile, I was having difficulty understanding what had just happened.
‘Where is Jung Hayan, and why is she here?’
“Huh? You really woke up.”
“What, what? Have I been sleeping for a long time?”
“You’ve been asleep for three days.”
“What!?”
“You were sleeping for exactly three days, you must not be feeling well.”
“What are you talking about?”
“There was a Templar who came from the Holy sector…”
“What? Why did a Templar suddenly come?”
“I don’t know what’s going on as well… They said there were signs that your life might be in danger. After checking your condition and saying it seemed okay, he went back, but… It’s a mess around here because of that. The Elf Princess also took a look at your health condition… Is she a woman we can actually trust? Does it make sense for a person like you to suddenly have his life endangered? I think this is all suspicious.”
‘What is happening now?’
“Why Elena, of all people? No, what is Elena doing now?”
“The treatment must have just ended. She must be resting now. Doesn’t it smell like the scent of a forest right now?”
“I don’t know… Anyway, wasn’t Hayan here?”
“I said you’ve been asleep for three days. Half a day had passed since she brought you here. Seeing that you weren’t waking up, it seemed like the Elf Princess went into your room to see your condition. About three hours after that, the Templar came immediately. I’ve never seen a Templar come out. It was really amazing.”
After I had become the Honorary Cardinal, that was the first time a Templar had been mobilized out of the shadows.
I couldn’t figure out what had happened while I was sleeping. However, something troubled me above all else.
‘Elena?’
Why did her name pop up again?
One thing was for sure. I almost went to Benignore’s side with great disgrace.
If I had really lost my life, there would have been no better comedy than that. It was no wonder that I felt bitter.
As I looked at Lee Jihye’s face without knowing it, I could see her face closing in on me.
“By the way, oppa, you look so sexy today. You usually already do. But your appeal is just way stronger right now…”
‘Not you too, fuck…’
