Chapter 153 – Cataclysm
There was nothing where there should have been a pile of corpses.
Not a trace of blood or battle remained, just a clean mountain path. It was probably cleaned up by the subsequent survivors of Salgok.
As I looked at the scene with a sense of disappointment, the Samamaeng on my back shook his head.
“As expected, it turned out like this. We had no time to replenish our supplies, so it was inevitable.”
“It’s such a waste….”
“Don’t be so down, Sohyeop. You don’t even have to show your supplies. You’ve reached the ultimate level, so you can prove that you’ve defeated the Sura Blood Sect.”
“What? I’m talking about the reward money.”
“Oh.”
Nokrim is a group without a single member who doesn’t touch money, power, or even the prison. Of course, there are many rewards offered for the head of the Sura Blood Sect, the owner of the entire organization.
If you add them all up, it’s probably more than 50 gold coins.
In terms of gold, it’s 2,500 nyang.
As someone who has been receiving support from the Pang family through Pang Soso, it’s an amount that I can’t ignore.
But Samamaeng thought of his reputation before such a huge sum of money.
“Of course, Samasega’s son. That amount of money is nothing, is it?”
“Hehe. Can’t we say that you value Sohyeop’s honor more than a pile of gold?”
Samamaeng, who easily accepted my joke, patted the buttocks he was carrying and said with a smile.
“Isn’t that why you’re carrying me like this, because you’re grateful?”
“Ugh! You’re so mean. You’re the one who made me like this, Sohyeop….”
That’s true.
Is it because of the scorching heat that made the sun rise to the zenith? The current Samamaeng can’t even walk on his own.
So I decided to carry him on my back and spread my wings until he calmed down a bit. It’s the opposite of when we hid in the cave.
As we stumbled down the unnaturally clean mountain path, I asked Samamaeng.
“By the way, why do you still call me Sohyeop? You know what that is, right?”
“If you mean that… Ah!”
Samamaeng, who was secretly burying his head in my neck and enjoying my scent, whispered shyly.
“Sanggong…?”
“Ugh!”
A thrill like lightning struck my forehead.
Some titles have a special power, and some titles make people’s hearts flutter just by hearing them.
Hong Yeon-hwa’s “My Lord” was one of them, and Pang Soso’s “Jin Gagga” was another.
And now, “Sanggong,” which Samamaeng spoke in a soft voice, will stand shoulder to shoulder with the two in my memory.
“Hehehe.”

Chapter 153 – Cataclysm
It was a state where I could move my qi like my own body.
Thanks to that, we arrived in just over half a day, a distance that would have taken a full day before.
But as the buildings of the eerie Pang family got closer, my footsteps slowed down. The reason was simple.
“What should I say….”
I had bravely suggested that we should borrow some money later, but now that the situation had come, anxiety began to rise.
As I sighed deeply, the Samamaeng on my back gently smiled.
“Don’t worry too much, Sanggong. I know my limits.”
His tone was calm, as if trying to reassure me. But seeing his trembling lips, it was clear that Samamaeng was also quite nervous.
“If it doesn’t go well, I’ll do my best to make sure that there are no problems between you and the others….”
“No.”
I interrupted Samamaeng’s words and firmly grabbed her hand.
“This was something we agreed on from the beginning. I was just a little scared when it actually happened.”
I led Samamaeng to the front gate. The gatekeeper, who recognized me, was surprised but opened the door as we held hands and put a little more strength into it.
“So let’s go borrow some money now.”
I couldn’t deceive Hong Yeon-hwa and Pang Soso. So the only thing left was to be honest.
Samamaeng was silent for a moment, then silently followed me inside.
The moment we set foot in the Pang family, a familiar voice was heard in the distance.
-You there!
No way?
The direction from which the voice was coming. So when I looked up at the sky, I saw a small figure.
How could a person fly in the sky naked? It’s usually impossible.
…But what if it’s not an ordinary person?
Pink hair fluttering in the air, and large breasts swaying up and down.
Hong Yeon-hwa jumping around in the air like a rabbit. There was no need for me and Samamaeng to hold hands anymore.
Thud.
And with a small noise, Hong Yeon-hwa arrived in front of us.
“You there! You’re a little later than expected. And what’s with that energy! Did you have some kind of realization?”
“Well…that’s what I mean….”
Hong Yeon-hwa circled around me like a puppy seeing its owner after a long time. Her smile was so innocent and happy that it was almost too much to bear.
Did she run over as soon as we entered her sensing range?
“Samagaju-yeo. You’ve worked hard to help my lord. Did everything go well?”
“Yes? Yes. I installed the formation as planned.”
Chapter 153 – Cataclysm
“Phew, thank goodness. A letter arrived from the Pang family this morning. With the help of the Mureummaeng, they successfully suppressed the Nokrimdo, but couldn’t find the leader. I was a little worried that they might have fled to some other territory, but it seems like it was just my imagination. You’ve worked hard!”
“….”
Hong Yeon-hwa patted my elbow like she was praising Samamaeng.
It was the first time Hong Yeon-hwa had shown such affection towards me, who had kept my distance from Samamaeng until now. But Samamaeng couldn’t say anything.
It was understandable since she had almost been dragged along with me to the Surahyeolbu.
Not knowing the meaning of Samamaeng’s silence, Hong Yeon-hwa smiled and hugged me.
Her slightly higher and warm body temperature, her unique floral scent, and the sensation of her soft breasts that touched me before her belly.
“You don’t know how much I’ve been waiting for you, my lord.”
And even a voice mixed with childish cuteness.
Hong Yeon-hwa proudly showed off her presence and leaned her head against my chest. But did she feel something strange?
“Sniff…huh?”
She looked up at me and started to tilt her head.
I couldn’t reveal everything about my relationship with Samamaeng right now. There was no Pang Soso here, and there were too many people around.
So I just gently stroked Hong Yeon-hwa’s hair as usual to avoid the question.
“Meow….”
Hong Yeon-hwa enjoyed my touch with a helpless expression.
For some reason, the sensation of the itchy hair on my palm felt like it was pricking my conscience.
“Anyway, should we go inside? I have something to discuss. It’s something that Pang Soso needs to hear too…”
“If it’s about Soso, she’s in the study.”
“Then let’s talk in the study.”
I headed to the study with Hong Yeon-hwa and Samamaeng.

“Family meeting! We need a family meeting!”
And we were caught as soon as we entered.
Why?
