Living with the Dangerous Beast-Chapter 66: The Fairy’s Bath

「You must never go north, Sohwa. No matter what, don’t go there.」

Even without Dohwi’s constant warnings, Sohwa had no desire to encounter that fearsome creature, whether he was a black dragon or an Imoogi. She knew she would be nothing more than a snack for him.

It seemed even Dohwi couldn’t deal with him. Given that the black dragon also tolerated Sohwa’s noisy family in Mount Taeryong, it seemed they both found the situation uncomfortable.

Thus, Sohwa’s family lived in the sunny south of Mount Taeryong, while the Imoogi resided in the shadowy north.

It had been nearly five years since this precarious cohabitation began.

But Mount Taeryong was so vast that even though Sohwa had warned the rabbit not to go north, she herself hadn’t truly experienced the presence of the terrifying black dragon.

Until now, she had never encountered him.

As she ran northwards, she stopped at the sound of clear water.

‘I didn’t know there was such a large valley here.’

Despite it being the new moon, the place was brightly lit. The crescent moon perched atop a modest waterfall seemed almost within reach. Enchanted by the moonlight, she found herself moving towards the valley.

At that moment, cutting through the shimmering water, a dark figure slowly emerged on the surface.

Looking closer, it was a person with ebony-like hair.

“A... a fairy!”

Sohwa nearly screamed, hastily covering her mouth and hiding behind a tree. This must be the fairy’s bath.

The very place where fairies from the celestial kingdom came to cleanse themselves!

The fairy’s bath!

‘This mountain truly is magnificent. To think even fairies come down to bathe here.’

Her heart pounded at the thought of seeing a celestial being with her own eyes.

Calming herself, Sohwa peeked out from behind the tree to secretly observe the fairy.

Even from the side, the fairy was so beautiful it was almost blinding. The black hair clinging to her body shone like silk, and her skin was flawless, white, and smooth.

Moreover, her forehead was broad and inviting, her thick eyebrows were elegant, and her nose was high and straight.

Her wet eyelashes were extraordinarily long, casting a shadow over her delicate eyes, giving her a serene and noble aura.

But the highlight of her exquisite features was her lips.

They were as red and glossy as a bride’s rouge, plump and tempting to touch.

‘I’ve never imagined someone could be so beautiful... And those lips... She’s truly a godsent.‘

Her lips were full and inviting, giving her a rather sensual impression for a fairy from the celestial kingdom.

Just then, the fairy turned towards her. Their eyes met instantly, indicating it was no accident; she knew Sohwa was spying on her.

Though she knew she should bow her head to the ground and apologize, Sohwa couldn’t move. Her legs went weak, and she was devoured by a sense of dizziness at the sight.

‘So this is how a fairy from the celestial kingdom looks like....’

Her face was so beautiful, so enchanting.

Sohwa stood there, transfixed, as if drawn into the fairy’s mysterious dark eyes.

‘So beautiful... Unbelievable....’

While she stood there with her mouth agape, the fairy’s lips curled into a subtle smile.

As Sohwa smiled back foolishly, a pink tongue slipped out from the fairy’s lips.

She watched in a daze, but suddenly.

“...Huh?”

The fairy’s tongue grew longer.

Sohwa’s eyes widened in shock at the length, which seemed like it would reach her chin.

‘No, the tongue...! That tongue is...!’

The previously normal tongue was now split in two.

‘I-It’s the tongue of a serpent!‘

The fairy turned its body slowly towards the helpless fox.

Seeing the fairy’s body for the first time head-on, Sohwa’s face drained of color.

“...!”

The one she had been mesmerized by was no fairy. freēnovelkiss.com

He was a bewitching man!

His tongue flicked playfully in the air as if mocking her. The sight of his undulating tongue, as if it could wrap around her at any moment, made Sohwa flee the valley as if her tail was on fire.

“Dohwi! Dohwi!”

Dohwi, who had been teasingly circling her, heard her near-screaming voice and quickly found her.

“What happened?”

Sohwa was drenched in sweat. She was so terrified that she had turned back into her fox form but was still running down the mountain on two legs like a human without even realizing it.

Although her appearance was quite comical, she was utterly pale. Seeing her drenched in such fear, the smile vanished from Dohwi’s face as well.

“I-I saw an immortal! I saw an immortal!”

He wasn’t a fairy, but he had clearly descended from the heavens. His face was so beautiful that she couldn’t take her eyes off it, and she had only noticed his broad shoulders and distinctly masculine body belatedly.

Moreover, his aura was extraordinary. The moment their eyes met, she felt like a mouse caught in front of a snake, unable to move.
