Chapter 128 – 129. Meeting a Man Like a Sword-1

“Dorong Whiyu Dororong Whiyu”

Yorang’s snoring echoed throughout the guest room.

Ssuk ssuk

Seonwoo looked at him and slowly stroked his head.

She seemed to be back to normal when she saw that the child, who was having trouble breathing, snored away from her.

Seonwoo lifted up the blanket and checked her condition.

Her body, which was full of cuts here and there, was clean as if new flesh had sprouted before she knew it.

She was a spirit creature, so she boasted a completely different resilience from humans.

“Whoa”

Sunwoo let out a sigh of relief.

How surprised she was when she first saw her condition.

Seeing her whole body covered in blood and stab wounds here and there, Seonwoo felt anger welling up to the tip of her head.

In the end, I was able to calm down only after I ran amok to the point where my anger was relieved.

And later, after learning the full story of the incident, I felt sorry and grateful for Yorang.

Thanks to her for not revealing her identity and not killing them when her life was in danger, Seon-woo was able to manage things somehow.

If Yorang had killed them all, things would have been so big that they couldn’t even get it right.

Swoosh Swoosh

Sunwoo stroked her hair more gently.

“Ugh”

It was then.

Yo-rang started tossing and turning her body.

It felt like someone was gently stroking her hair.

Who is it?

Is it the lady of the party? Or Dang Seo-yoon? Gold coin?

Curious, Yo-rang began to open her eyes gently.

“Are you Seonwoo?”

And she could identify the figure stroking her own head.

It was good.

She rubbed her eyes, wondering if it was a dream.

It was rare for Seonwoo to stroke her hair so gently.

He was a man who would grind his fists at random rather than stroke them gently.

I felt uncomfortable when someone like that gently stroked his hair.

“Sleep more.”

Sunwoo looked at her rubbing her eyes and spoke softly.

“Ugh”

Seonwoo’s soft tone made Yorang feel goosebumps.

It was because I felt unfamiliar with his appearance, which was completely different from usual.

“Yorang”

Sunwoo looked at her and slowly opened her mouth.

“Why?”

“Thanks.”

“What?”

“For keeping your promise.”

If she had forgotten her promise to Seon-woo and killed them all, Seon-woo would have been chased by the chase by now.

“Did you cross your little finger?”

She asked as if she didn’t understand.

Wasn’t it the law of human society to keep a promise unconditionally when the little finger was bet?

But what do you mean thank you

Yorang did not understand.

Thump thump

Seonwoo patted him on the head again because he was cute.

It was because she was proud of her for keeping her trust with just one word of her own.

“I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen in the future.”

Sunwoo stroked her gently and made a promise.

To make sure this never happens again.

“Wow”

Yo-rang didn’t know what to say, but she liked the soft feel of her hair, so she just kept her answer short and stayed still.

“Yorang”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t I tell you never to harm anyone no matter what?”

“That’s right, I kept it!”

“Can I renew that promise?”

“What?”

“When your life is in danger, just kill it.”

“What?”

“I’d rather have that”

It was sincere.

It seemed that if she died to keep her promise to herself, she would live with her regrets for the rest of her life.

“No.”

However, at Sunwoo’s words, Yorang gave an unexpected answer.

“Yes?”

“If I kill someone, I have to break up with you, the wife of the party, the third wife, and Seo-yoon of the party. I hate that.”

Yorang twisted her fingers one by one and explained to Seonwoo.

Seeing that, Seonwoo smiled.

What is it that you value more than your own life?

“Then let’s promise otherwise, if our lives are in danger, we will release our powers and run away.”

“Great!”

Yo-rang replied with a bright smile at Seon-woo.

Seonwoo also looked at him and smiled.

Growl

It was then.

A thunder-like sound began to resonate in Yorang’s belly.

“Seonwoo, I’m hungry”

Recognizing the situation in the stomach, Yo-rang spoke to Seon-woo.

Hearing her words, Seonwoo burst into laughter.

I couldn’t eat anything and passed out all day, so I was just hungry.

“Wait a minute, I’ll tell you to put something on the bottom.”

Hee hee”

Yorang’s laughter rang out.

**********

Tata Tak Tata Tak

Two men and women were climbing the mountain road at high speed.

Wagjak wagjak

“Waap yum yum yum”

And the woman was running with a moon cake in her mouth, chewing on it.

“You turn inside out.”

Seonwoo, the man who was leading the way next to him, looked at Yorang and continued.

“Dogs and me, I’m fine (it’s okay, I’m not feeling well)”

After hearing his words, Yo-rang answered with a funny pronunciation, perhaps because of the mooncakes in her mouth.

Three days have already passed since the incident occurred in Gyunhyeon.

After spending the night in an inn, they packed their things and set off early in the morning.

Originally, I was planning to move only with groceries for a short time, but I spent an extra day to recover Yorang.

The schedule was disrupted due to an unexpected problem.

Seonwoo increased his speed toward Baekhwabong Peak, and Yorang was following Seonwoo’s speed well.

Perhaps it was thanks to the fact that Gyunhyeon prepared a lot of food, she followed suit without much complaint even after three days of hard work.

Seeing this, Seonwoo regretted it.

He said that he would have arrived a long time ago if he had packed moon cakes and sweets from the beginning.

Still, they were able to reach the end of Hanam thanks to minimal sleep and running without rest.

If you go on like this for one more day, you will be able to reach Baekhwabong Peak.

“Seowoo, you’re a hypocrite! (Seonwoo, you bite the sea)”

At that time, Yorang pointed to the horizon with his finger and continued with his mumbling mouth.

At her words, Seonwoo looked at the direction she was pointing.

As she said, the sun was already setting.

“Yorang, slow down a bit, let’s run all the way here today and find a place to stay.”

In my heart, I wanted to go even a little further, but it was easy to get lost if I rode a mountain at night.

Sunwoo did not hesitate and decided to go homeless.

Seonwoo slowed down and slowly began to look around him.

Because he didn’t know where to stay.

And I was able to find a fairly wide open space not far away.

An empty lot in the woods, did someone make it?

Could it be the traces of the past slash-and-burn farmers cultivating the fields?

I don’t know why, but it was a pretty cozy space.

Seonwoo sang joy.

“It’s fine here.”

“That’s right, that’s right, it’s okay here.”

Yorang ran to the clearing and started to settle down.

She had no difficulty in settling down, perhaps thanks to the fact that she spent nearly ten days on her homeless.

“Hey, who wants to lie down first?”

Seonwoo bruised her as she lay down on her bed already.

“Why”

“Go and pick up some dry branches.”

“No, you do it”

Yo-rang, who had already settled down and lay down, stuck out her tongue and rebelled against Seon-woo.

“Why do you always make me do it? You do it today”

She rebelled for some reason.

In the meantime, whenever she was homeless, Seon-wu had her pick up her dry branches.

I went there once or twice without thinking about it, but as this was repeated, a sense of insecurity accumulated.

“I cook!”

Seonwoo made his own protest.

“Wow, what kind of dish is grilled beef jerky? Do you have a problem with your personality?”

Yo-rang snorted at Seon-woo’s protest and continued.

It was she who became more adept at her speech with each passing day.

‘To rot’

At Yo-rang’s words, Seon-wu swears inwardly.

It was because she wanted to notice again that she had been passing on troublesome things without her knowledge.

“Yorang, what if I left you alone here and something happens? Do you remember what happened at Pungcheonru last time?”

Seonwoo spoke to her in her coy voice.

“Then is it okay to spend alone? I’m not an idiot. Come to think of it, I’ve picked up the dry branches and made the bed myself!

‘Smart Bitch’

It seemed that her intelligence was no longer that of a girl.

“But what did you do? You just put a few pieces of beef jerky on a tree branch and grilled it, then lay still and rest!”

“…”

Seonwoo turned his gaze away from her passionate speech, as if he was at a loss for what to say.

It was true.

In the meantime, Seon-woo left all her chores to her.

All he did was make a fire with the dry twigs she had brought and roast the jerky.

She thought she didn’t know and kept ordering, but in fact, it seemed like she knew everything.

“Now I’m going to cook, so you do something else!”

“…”

Sunwoo raised his hand and scratched his head.

Because I’m a little embarrassed.

It was then.

“Heh heh heh I’ll pick up the dry branches, stop fighting.”

A man’s voice came from somewhere.

Seonwoo was taken aback and quickly turned him around and grabbed the Yongmiyeon sword at his waist.

Sunwoo looked in the direction the voice was coming from with a nervous expression.

There, a middle-aged man was walking with an armful of twigs.

‘Certainly I didn’t feel the presence?’

Kkwaak

Seonwoo gave more strength to the hand holding the Yongmiyeon sword.

Seonwoo was the one who had reached the state of hwagyeong, which is called the absolute land.

Didn’t he feel the presence?

That meant that the man in front of him had reached at least a level comparable to himself.

“Who are you?”

Sunwoo asked him in a nervous voice.

“No need to be nervous, he’s just a passer-by.”

“If you’re a passer-by, why don’t you just pass by?”

“These days, people have become very mean, but can’t we share the fire?”

Despite Seonwoo’s bold words, the man just smiled and accepted the words.

“As you can see, there is no fire.”

“It’s okay, fire. I can make it right now.”

Rumble

The man set the branches he was holding onto the floor as they were.

Fire

Then, after starting a fire in his hand, he placed it on a dry branch.

Roar

The branches caught fire shortly after.

‘Samadhi evolution!?’

Yes.

The man caused the samadhi evolution and lit a fire.

Dump

The man sat down beside him.

“You guys, come here and sit down.”

The man smiled at Seonwoo and Yorang.

“…If we refuse, will you kill us?”

Hearing his words, Seonwoo asked him in a trembling voice.

“Heh heh heh he says something funny.”

At Sunwoo’s words, the man burst into laughter as if he was having fun.

“Not everyone who is stronger than you is your enemy.”

The man smiled at Seonwoo.

“It doesn’t matter if you refuse, of course you’ll lose a friend to spend the night with, but that’s no reason to kill you guys.”

Hearing the man’s words, Seonwoo felt the tension subside.

At least, the mighty man in front of him seemed to have no hostility towards him.

But he couldn’t fully relax.

Because I didn’t know his true intentions at all.

“Tsuttuk, life must have been tough, why are you raising your claws like a frightened cat?”

The man looked at Sunwoo and opened his mouth, as if he knew what Seonwoo was thinking.

“I swear by my sword, I won’t harm you today.”

The man continued speaking as he tapped the sword that had slid beside him.

“Okay. Then I’ll excuse you.”

After hearing his words, Seonwu pondered for a long time and then moved closer to the fire that he had lit.

Dump

“Yorang, you come too.”

Seonwoo sat down and sang Yorang.

At Sunwoo’s words, Yorang hurriedly moved and sat down next to him.

“Hey, look at this.”

Seeing Yorang like that, the man spat out an exclamation as if he was interested.

Sunwoo was nervous.

It was because I wondered if Lee Ja-I might have fallen for Yo-Rang’s appearance.

The case of Gyunhyeon Pungcheonru became an incident that imprinted on Seonwoo how fatal Yorang’s appearance was.

That’s why Sunwoo was nervous.

Would a man with at least as much power as himself pretend to pretend?

“This is fun.”

Whether or not he knew what Sunwoo was thinking, he burst out laughing.

Sunwoo quietly watched his reaction.

“How come something that isn’t human is pretending to be human?”

The man looked at the yorang and continued.

Upon hearing his words, Seonwoo’s eyes widened.

How can you know that at first glance?

“You… Who are you?”

“I don’t have a name.”

At Sunwoo’s words, the man calmly continued.

“It’s just someone’s sword.”

The man who was watching Yo-rang slowly turned his head and looked at Seon-woo.

“What is your true identity?”

“Yeah?”

“What is your identity, why are you walking around as if you weren’t even human?

The man asked Seonwoo as if he really didn’t know.

At his question, Seonwoo closed his mouth.

It was because he never imagined that someone who knew Yorang’s true identity would come out.
