Chapter 22 - You are the only woman here (1/2)
”Let go of her.” Kwon Yoori grabs her niece's shoulder. ”How dare you touch my woman?”
She doesn't like speaking this way about another female. But, Kyuri is her niece. She wants to keep her alive as long as she can. She also has to act because she claimed Kyuri as her woman yesterday. What kind of general would let his claimed woman get bullied by another man? Wait, Kyuri is the one who went to get bullied. Aish! This girl is too troublesome.
Thankfully, Li Jun let go of the girl. Kyuri frowns deeply and yells, ”Height of pretense! Aunt, he is from my timeline. He is the timekeeper who will kill me in the future. Can you feed him to wolves?”
Kwon Yoori glares at her.
”Hmph!” The girl takes the hint and storms off to the tent. Kwon Yoori feels like she is going to have a headache. Li Jun doesn't wear his mask again. He blinks his eyes at her.
”I can't understand the language of the silent ones.” She points her index finger at him. ”Nobody is allowed to touch her. She can't be harmed. Do you get it?”
No reply. She doesn't waste any more time. She takes long strides to the tent. Her niece is sitting on the bed with a grumpy face.
”What is wrong with you, Kyuri?” She clenches her fists. ”How could you do that to him?”
”Aunt, he is from my timeline... His name is Kang Si An,” Her niece tells her adamantly. ”He is fooling you all.”
”Why can't two people in two different time have the same face?” Kwon Yoori is surprised to see that her niece is this dumb. ”Kang Si An can be this Li Jun's reincarnation. They can have the same soul and the same body in a different timeline, but they aren't the same. Li Jun would kill you without a second thought and he isn't a timekeeper. You are lucky that he didn't cut off your wrist for taking his mask away.”

Reincarnation? Shit.
Why didn't I think of that? They looked so similar that I thought... Argh! I hold my head. Why did I meet Kang Si An's reincarnation back in time? I feel like I am being haunted by his soul. Damn! What did I do? I am lucky that Li Jun couldn't understand what I said.
”Let's calm down.” My aunt is taking long breaths. ”I can make it work.”
”Make work what?” I ask her, worried.
