Meanwhile at Seok's house they were packing up their things with Hinatako's assistant who seemed happy while doing so.
On the other hand, Seok kept looking at him with intense eyes, which made her smile lightly while hiding her face from his view, which made him surprised.
"Oh, Seok, my dear, stop flirting with me. It's very embarrassing. Didn't you say that we are short when you act like this? However, if you want us to be real couples, I am ready to do that." Hinatako said in embarrassment as she looked at him, her face red with embarrassment.
Seok looked at him annoyed without saying anything to move his face away from him, which made her look at him with extreme hatred as she fell to the ground.
However, Seok did not show any interest in her in order to continue gathering the things he would need in the Mount Hwa Sect, even though he would not be able to meet his family, until he was able to ensure that they would live in a safe place in the city of Gsembourg.
He turned his gaze towards the other Hinatako, who was acting like a little girl who had been subjected to injustice. "You were the one who sent Vidoa, who was accusing those scum of raping women of all ages, right?"
"...."
Hinatako remained silent, unwilling to respond as she gathered her things. She was upset by Seok's cold treatment, even though she had previously helped him in getting Jian Yi to allow him to enter the Mount Hua Sect to train there.
Seok looked at him for several minutes without saying anything. She was acting childish, even though she was more than two thousand years old. He was serious in what he said.
However, she met him with the looks of a wife who had been insulted by her husband and who made him so upset that he wanted to kick her out of his room.
To decide not to do that, he needed her in the future. Moreover, she was the only person he loved in his previous life, after a family, in his past and present life.
"It is very annoying, Gae Seok is a scoundrel who treats me as if I were a girl he met a few days ago, even though we met on the third day of a festival. We have actually known each other for more than two thousand years and we married as humans and as curses. It is annoying. Have we become married as equals?"
"However, isn't there a law that allows this marriage from the age of 12 years and above, even though in our previous world the idea was canceled in the twenty-first century, until we are currently in the 6th century AD and something is permitted as I am considered a biological adult?"
Hinatako's face turned as she felt warmth in her back, and she found Seok hugging her and placing his chin on her head, which made her face turn red with embarrassment.
She slowly raised her head to find him focusing on gathering his things using his ability to move things mentally, which made her feel even more embarrassed, as he seemed attractive to her.
She smiled lightly while looking at him, "This body has many things better than his previous body, isn't it? Changing your clothes was, for him, an invaluable reward for losing the quality of a commodity."
Seok looked at him out of the corner of his eye, clearly annoyed and annoyed, yet her look, which resembled that of a cute cat, prevented him from doing anything.
He spoke annoyed while placing his belongings in their designated places to place them in his dimensional space, "If it were not a marriage contract between curses that curbs your desires for people other than me, I would be your husband in the end, but I will swear that you lost your virginity a long time ago."
Hinatako opened her eyes wide open after hearing Seok's words, and met his chest with extreme hatred and anger, directing several punches to his chest, making him surprised by what she was doing.
He fell to the ground, causing Hinatako to move her legs and arms in the air, expressing her anger and trying to get away from Seok because he was holding her with great force.
"What's wrong with you when you're acting like this? You're not a child." Seok spoke in confusion as he felt his chest wet from her tears. She raised her head to find her crying.
"...." Seok couldn't find a word. He didn't expect something like this to happen. Hinatako's crying seemed so frustrating to him that he hugged her, raising her head towards her face.
Her face turned red from embarrassment and a slight smile appeared on her face as she wiped her tears with Seok's clothes, "As I said before, there are things about this body that are better than before, and make sure the quality of the product is not a mistake."
Seok looked at him with a facial expression that said, "What's wrong with her? This is stupid and perverted." However, he decided to leave her sleeping on his chest because he was aware that she would cling to him and look at him like someone who had been betrayed.
But on the other hand, he felt happy to be with the person he loved most
Several minutes passed before they finished gathering their things, and Hinatako, who was working faster than him, smiled full of happiness on his face.
Then he asked her the same question as before, which he refused to answer, "You were the one who sent the video that was accusing those scum of raping women of all ages, isn't that so?"
Hinatako turned her gaze to her with a malicious smile on his face, "You're right, I did that. The academy director, Verselkin, was very annoying, even though he kept his word. I became in the masters' class according to my specialization, and on top of that, private lessons from the best professor. During the second year until my graduation."
"In addition to that, a sum of money amounting to 45 thousand platinum coins, an exemption from taking the final exam, and a seat with students who are heading to the Heavenly Immortal Academy next year."
"However, he did this to silence me and I find it extremely annoying. Moreover, he deserved it for threatening your life twice. I would have been a widow because of it. My dear husband would die a third time without the opportunity to have a single son. It is absolutely impossible, so he deserves what I did to him."
Seok looked at him with a facial expression that said, "I have watched short Chinese movies and drama series a lot in our past lives, and she will make me suffer a lot with her in the future."
He got up from his place while looking at a beautiful box on the surface of his desk with a slight smile on his face, ignoring Hinatako, who was looking at him in surprise.
"What is there, my dear Seok? Is there something you want to take with you or is there something you want to give to your dear Hinatako? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. It would be a nice thing for the occasion. Hinatako's tone of voice had a great deal of sarcasm. However, Seok's happy facial features did not change. He picked up that completely black tote and directed his gaze towards Hinatako with a warm smile still plastered on his face.
"I don't know what it isThis is the black box, but it has been linked to me since my first day in my life. However, I feel that it connects us together. My words are strange, isn't it?" The tone of Seok's voice was calm as he looked at him. It turned into astonishment that the black box was divided into two halves and entered their minds to spread throughout their entire body. However, they did not understand the reason for this to happen, but at the same time they noticed that they were acting as if it were a natural thing.
"A strange thing of its kind, isn't it? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. However, there is a strange question that has been running through my head since I was born in this world. What if our previous life was also a second life, and we were entities in other worlds?"
Seok looked at him with a disappointed expression on her face, her imagination was wide, as if re-enacting something was easy. However, he found himself agreeing with her words. After all, they had died twice and been born three times. The idea that an older life was still possible.
He sat straight after that without saying anything. He was feeling extremely happy with a stable life, a beautiful family, and he was with someone he loved. There was no reason for him to be sad about losing them.
He turned his gaze towards Hinatako, who was finishing packing his luggage and arranging it to go to the Mount Hua Sect. "A pervert, foolish, malicious, dangerous, cute, quarrelsome, comedic, strong, loyal, possessing more than necessary femininity all in one person, even though her negatives are more than her positives, yet she is still someone who is willing to stay with him until the end of the world."
Hinatako looked at him again and found him sleeping deeply. He was too tired from the harsh training to be able to control his strength.
He had regained his core as the King of Curses and developed both the Mana Core and Datian Root in a very short time, and to be able to use them with ease, he had to balance his current strength with his body and mind.
She turned to him with a slight smile while carrying a blanket to cover him, while kissing his left cheek afterward, causing signs of shame to appear on Seok's face.
"Aw Seok, the King of Curses is ashamed, so funny..."
While Hinatako was speaking sarcastically, Seok pulled her towards him, pressing him to his chest
Hinatako's gaze held a great deal of shock as his face was planted in Seok's chest, giving him a slight smile
As she closed her eyes, surrendering herself to the embrace she had always desired since she was born into this world
The next day, at 05:30 AM, at Tom's, he was looking with calm eyes at the list of tasks that the system had given him.

Tom did not say a single word as he looked towards the window. It had been 22 days since he obtained his first seed and took his first step in a major mission, and on the other hand, an unlimited duration of missions made him feel comfortable.
Which made him realize that it was not the regime that would punish him, because it would be a reaction to his failure to do so in a timely manner, even if the regime had not made it important.
He closes the system screen while looking at the message that Myung Hee gave him. [Seung Hoon, your face is ugly, whether you like it or not]
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he responded that there were tasks that he had to leave the ordinary world in which he lived in order to accomplish them.
Then he placed the other Martha in his dimensional space after placing it inside a small box, as he considered it something that reminded him of his ancient companions.
He took a deep breath while looking towards the sky and smiled lightly, "It has been a long time since I have been gone, and there are people I will meet and tasks I must carry out."
"The days are over, the events have ended, from the exam to admission to the festival marking a thousand years since the defeat of the demon world, to obtain the first part of my journey to find out."
"Self"
Then he got up and headed toward a door to leave his house to walk around a little in the academy courtyard to breathe some fresh air.
Tom's gaze was calm as he looked around Versalkin Academy, which had been almost empty for years if not for the servants of the angel and elven race who had taken care of it more than 300 million years ago.
Today, 2 million students join it annually, distributed over various specializations, and from just a place that no one knows except the nearby clans, it has become the most famous and prestigious place in the world, and it has a power that cannot be ignored.
The place that two people planned to build has become a place that everyone flocks to on different 5 continents, even though the percentage of non-humans is 0.45% of the students, while the administrators do not exist at the present time after it was 46%, and an administrator was not limited to humans 3000 thousand years ago. However, the situation has changed for fear of the infiltration of spies, considering it is a place where great forces gather in the human sector.
He directed his gaze towards an empty square that was once a greenhouse with flowers around it. Many things had changed over millions of years. The Academy had evolved greatly, and changing what had happened was inevitable.
However, he was not interested in changes as much as he was interested in returning to the origin of the palace, where he lived with his wife Zihua Minghua. However, he was not able to do anything, as he was very weak.
At the present time, so that he could leave the world in which he lived, he was certain that he would be able to meet her. More than 700 billion years had passed since they had been apart, and many more years and waiting would not be a problem for them.
He continued on his way without saying anything, as he had no intention of speaking, but instead contemplated the world around him, until Alessandra appeared next to him, and his facial features were so calm that Tom was surprised by this.
However, he did not show any signs of interestThere was some hidden sadness that he could hardly pick out from his facial expressions
Alessandra spoke while looking at him with somewhat incomprehensible looks, "You remember the places you visited in the test. The secret tunnels at that time. I mean test 1, 2, and 3. These are the same places where you will be able to accomplish those missions or get things from them that will help you, or other places. It seems that you know your destination 4 and the rest of the destinations, isn't it like that?"
Tom did not say a single word, but kept looking at him with calm eyes, smiling slightly as he gently pinched her cheek to make her look at him in surprise.
"I know it's good, but seeing you the other time is something that put me at ease. It's nice when I pinch your cheek."
Alessandra's eyes sparkled with annoyance as she looked at him, still holding her cheek, to stroke his head as a sign to say, "Stop being so ridiculous."
Which made Tom a little annoyed as he placed his hand on his head as they continued on their way
"Tom Fragelson, right now, you have to become stronger than you already are, and you will benefit from your upcoming journey. It will be beneficial to you if you take advantage of it well." Alessandra's voice tone was natural as she looked at him from the corner of her eye.
A deep sigh came out of Tom's mouth as he looked at him, trying to clear his mind. Seeing her after all this absence was very happy for him, which made him behave in a strange way towards her.
"I know this well, more than you expect. The Heavenly Immortals Academy will be your next destination. I am not sure if I will be dragged into any missions there, but you are sure of one thing, which is that what I will face will not be as easy as fighting a group of useless idiots."
"A place for the smartest and most scum of pure refinement to remain is more dangerous than the world of hybrid refinement that we currently live in, so I have to be very careful during the past 10 months."
Alessandra did not comment on his words, but continued to look at him with incomprehensible looks, directing her gaze towards the sun, which began to rise little by little.
She looked at him for several seconds before gently patting his hair while speaking in a voice full of joy, "Tom, you must be careful during your journey and make the best use of the coming 5 months and break through to the rank of Boundless, because you will need every ounce of strength to survive the 3 years that will come after that."
"On June 29, there is only one day left. As a student of the Versalkin Academy, you must carefully choose what you will do in the coming months. Will you go to the northern continent, specifically the Hua Yu Clan, where Zhao Li lived, or will you go to Mount Hua, where the Plum Blossom Emperor was born? The choice is ultimately yours."
Tom's facial expression changed to a slight sadness as he listened to Alessandra's words. However, he had already chosen the place he should head to, which was Mount Hua, where the Plum Blossom Emperor was born.
Then her hand moved away from his hair, causing him to look at him for several seconds before he placed his face on her chest, which made her confused and a little annoyed by the strange, somewhat perverted behavior that she was not part of in the first place. She would have kicked him out of the world of the living, directly into the isthmus.
"I know what I have to do now, but I'm so tired. I'm tired of doing everything. I'm still that idiot who needs everything with him."
"I am at the end of a tree, and a tree cannot live and thrive on its own. It needs the world around it to stay alive."
Alessandra did not say a single word as she listened to Tom's words, so she hugged his head while placing her chin on his head, and he hugged her waist in turn.
She sighed while looking at him for several minutes before speaking in his ear in a low voice, "However, you have to rely on yourself only, Tom. You are at the end of Ji Yao Li, the chief protector of the Tree of Existence, a sacred predecessor. Therefore, be the person you depend on. For at the end of the tree, the one who lives is the one who can survive in the worst of circumstances."
Then Alessandra's body began to turn into a white, golden mist, and the other Martha entered his body, leaving Tom frozen in his place like a damaged doll for several minutes.
Although he agreed with Alessandra's words about the fact that he has to rely only on himself most of the time, one hand does not clap, but it is a powerful punch at the same time that carries many things through signing the agreements, that he is certain that other people will need to solve many problems as the days pass.
He decided to continue on his way without saying anything, as he felt that gossip would not change anything in the end
