Barbaric Spouse, Descry the Night's Lure - Chapter 174: Scene CLXXIV

[ Late check-ins accepted. Abyss residues surcharges apply. ]The Last Neutral Inn, a small establishment run by a retired man named Aldous. He serves good soup, honest tea, and the only guaranteed neutral ground between the mortal world and the Abyss.He used to change the world. He doesn't do that anymore, but he has opinions about bread. He will share them.In a place where exiled gods need somewhere to sleep, demon courts require neutral venues for negotiations they can't afford to lose, and abyssal entities older than civilization occasionally need a simple word with someone who won't panic, Aldous runs the only establishment that qualifies. His guests aren't only human. His inn shouldn't exist. The Abyss stops exactly at his property line, which nobody has satisfactorily explained.Aldous makes soup. He fixes the stairs. He files the paperwork.He is no hero. No king. He runs an inn.The question nobody had the courage to ask yet is why.

The first time they meet, he arrests her under suspicions that she's involved in a murder case. He's so handsome that she, as the head of an entertainment company, is determined to recruit him into her company, train him to be a star, and make him her cash cow! But he is neither short of money nor fame and refuses her. So she decides—to make him her boyfriend first.“I'm 5'4” tall. Do you think I need to tiptoe to kiss you?” She smiles brightly, ogling at him. The man gives her a deadpan glance. “Are you daydreaming?” She licks her lips and smiles. “Yes, I'm dreaming about having sex with you.” “......!!!”A few months later, Song Yi finally loses her patience and asks, “Do you like me or not? I've been chasing you for so long!” Tang Si smiles and whispers to her, “Miss Song, this can only prove that you're not attractive enough.” Annoyed, Song Yi is about to retort only to hear his husky and sultry voice. “Let me teach you—how to attract a man.” Her mind goes blank!At first, she imagines Tang Si to be a mature and reliable man, but it turns out that he's actually lazy, naughty, and damn good at seducing women!…“What would you do if you hadn't chosen to be a policeman?”“Be a star.” The man cracks a smile.“Become CEO Song's… sugar baby.”Everyone is shocked. “How dare this woman poach someone from our police force?”

“….Krische-sama, are you not afraid of killing people?”

“……? No. After all, it doesn’t hurt Krische.”

Although gifted with the talent to do anything with ease, the girl lacked empathy.

In her world, there is only loss and profit. No goodwill, no love.

Inhumanly recognizing cold, mathematical logic as everything, she looks at everything in the world through calculating lens.

Return given profit with profit, loss with loss.

The girl was undoubtedly pure, yet undeniably abnormal—

Her favorite things are cooking, food, and being pampered.

Her specialty is mu*der.

—- This is the story of a slightly unhinged girl being surrounded by kind and loving people, and her journey to find happiness.
