Chapter 169 – Chapter 34 (4)

As night fell, more sentries than usual stood guard on the walls of Shenzhen.

Since it is located at the end of autumn, even in the hot and humid southern region, it starts to feel cold at night.

Because of such halfway weather and geographical conditions far from the center, the soldiers who had the luxury of receiving proper supplies were passing their time grumbling.

“Damn it. Patrol during the day, stand guard at night. What a struggle with that damn flesh.”

The topic of conversation among the soldiers was the issue of flesh that had been brought over to Guangdong.

The unilateral massacre of several villages unrelated to Murim cannot be ignored even by the government, so it is natural to strengthen patrols and vigilance.

However, since neither the political faction nor the Sapa were interested in it, the Guangdong soldiers, whose experience of fighting as soldiers was all about subjugating small bandits, were too low-level to respond to such problems.

If the Ming Dynasty had a proper interest in this in the first place, borrowing the hand of Haenampa to solve the pirate problem and permitting gunpowder weapons to non-soldiers would not have happened.

Anyway, even the quality of the low-level soldiers did not stop grumbling at the fact that they had to do this kind of work.

“We do these things, but the upper heads get more pissed off because they drink and play and then sleep.”
“Even if we catch up on things like living, we’re far from getting ahead, so they make us do all the hard work.”
“Kaak! Twuk! I really hope those fat bastards die!”

Instead of being away from the center, the desire to succeed has completely disappeared, officials who play and eat with the power they can take to their current position.

And the soldiers rusting without proper training under such conditions.

No matter how you look at it, it was absolutely impossible for them to catch or exterminate the flesh.

Both soldiers and officers are aware that it is impossible with their own abilities.

“Hey, you have a lot of time. How about a drink?”

At that time, a soldier took out a water bottle from his waist, and the other soldiers smiled and took out the water bottle.

Of course, what was in the bucket was not ordinary water, but alcohol.

Drinking and playing while on guard is a subject of severe punishment, but the officials, who should be their example in the first place, have left the guard only to the soldiers and have fallen asleep with alcohol.

They showed with their whole body that the upper water must be clear so that the lower water is also clear.

… Now… Kwajik…

“Huh?”
“What’s the matter?”
“I think I heard something break…No, like something being filmed.”
“What’s being photographed? Gulp-keuheu~ I don’t like this sentry job, but because I’m a sentry, the alcohol tastes better than usual. You too, don’t worry about strange places and enjoy the taste.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Strangely, it doesn’t taste like this normally.”

The soldiers started laughing and drinking among themselves.

Kwajik- Kwajik-

“…”
“…”

In an instant, the soldiers who were holding a simple drinking party heard a clear sound as if something was being shot.

One of the soldiers raises a spear and descends down the wall, where the sound can be heard close by.

“Kyaaak!”

Fu Chong!

A woman with curly hair came up, stamping her hand on the wall, clawing at the soldier’s head with her hand, screaming like a beast.

The soldier, whose face and head had been torn off in half in an instant, did not even scream and fell limp as if he was leaning against the wall.

“Haaaaagh!”
“That’s an enemy raid!”
“It’s a raid!”

The Thousand Killer Miao woman conserved her stamina for this massacre, and because she became stronger by killing more people, she rushed at a speed that was incomparable to before.

“Ugh~♥”

After lightly mating, Ha-yeon, who was enjoying the afterglow of pleasure, snuggles in my arms like a cat riding on a human hand.

Thanks to Ha-yeon’s tan skin, which is elastic and pleasant to the touch, and the feel of her soft hair, her mouth naturally smiled.

“Jinrang.”
“Huh?”
“Can’t we just settle down like this?”
“Let’s settle down?”

What. Why is he suddenly doing this?

“What are you talking about?
“It’s as the master said. There’s also the Pacheonhoe problem.”

Yuran additionally mentioned the issue of Pacheonhoe there.
However, Ha-yeon refuted with an expression that said it didn’t matter.

“How about that? Isn’t it bad to live like this by ourselves without needing Pacheonhoe or anything like that?”

Ha-yeon showed off her aegyo with the most pitiful expression out of the ones she had ever seen.

“The days when I make money by helping fight pirates and smuggling trade, and when I finish my day, I return home, wash my body, and mix my body vigorously. Let’s leave it alone and live like this by ourselves.”

I thought about how to answer this question for a while, and inadvertently saw Yu-ran and Hye-woon’s faces.

When the person who seemed most unrelated to the settlement asked to settle down, the girls only made an absurd expression.

Come to think of it, Ha-yeon must have had a fantasy of when she lived with me and settled down.

Having experienced both life in the Demonic Cult, where strength determines everything, and life living happily together with me, it would be perfect to want the comfort that comes from a stable life.

Also, since I’m older, I’ll settle down soon… Off!

“Jinrang? I told you not to think about my age, didn’t you?”
“Don’t pinch me with force! It really hurts!”

Don’t use evidence of a high level, such as a sword, to pinch me just because of my age!

I wiped away the soreness of Ha-yeon by rubbing her side with the palm of her hand.

I wanted to settle down like this, but if I ignored it and went to midfield, there would be a problem someday.
Now that this has happened, let’s talk about it seriously.

“We have already attacked the Pacheonhoe. Will the Pacheonhoe accept even if we go into hiding now? No, they will send more masters, asking how they knew about their existence. It’s like an expression of will.”
“Then, if we settle down somewhere else…”
“And the purpose of my trip is to find women who will become my females from beginning to end. Pacheonhoe is an entity that hinders me, so I have to deal with it with both sides.”

Others may ask what purpose I travel for, but my purpose is consistent from beginning to end.

Female.
Anything else is a secondary issue.

Money?
I don’t know if it’s camping, but I can’t let my girls sleep on the street like beggars in a place like a city, so it’s a level I get?

Pacheonhoe?
If these guys’ plan succeeds, my females will disappear, so we have to stop them.

Hearing my explanation, Hayeon let out a deep sigh.

“That’s right. Jinrang was such a man.”
“Instead, as quickly as possible…”
“No. You don’t have to.”

Ha-yeon smiled bitterly as she burrowed into my arms.

“I think I lost my temper for a moment because I was so happy to live with a kid who was busy trying to kill me whenever we met.

Here, for some reason, I felt dissatisfaction with her appearance.
Why are you focusing on her appearance as Hwanyo?

“What about that?”
“Huh?”
“Hwanyo, what if Im Ha-yeon is more family-oriented than expected? What if she loses her temper? Originally, married couples change as they live together. So, don’t fall into a strange sense of shame just because your temper is gone.”
“Jinrang hasn’t changed at all on the subject of saying that?”
“Oh, I see.”

Hayeon and I looked at each other and smiled.

“Whoa, is this the real face of a girl named Hwan-Yo with no poison? Thinking that way makes me feel at ease. I guess I’ve unconsciously tried to maintain the sharp and vicious villain called Hwan-Yo until now.”

At that moment, Ha-yeon’s mood changed.

This is probably the original appearance of a woman named Im Ha-yeon, not an appearance to show the image of Hwan-yo forcibly.

“Thank you, Jinrang. If it weren’t for you, I… Would still be a Demonic Cult named Hwanyo, carrying out the orders of the Heavenly Demon. Thank you for choosing an older woman like me. Really.”

Ha-yeon hugged my shoulders as wide as she could and smiled happily.

“I’m the owner~”
“Above…”

At that time, the other females who felt jealous because I held only Ha-yeon for too long approached.

“I’m sorry. I’ll hug you all…”

Aww-
Ah–

“Huh?”
“Uh?”

What is this
Scream?

“Jincheon-nim! Jincheon-nim, where are you!”

Just as I heard multiple screams from the direction of the city, a man came looking for me at my house.

I quickly got dressed and opened my mouth to the guy who found me.

“What’s going on?”
“Now a crazy woman is killing like crazy in the city! All the soldiers of the military have already fled, and Haomen’s warriors can only stop for a moment! Please help us!”

Shenzhen is Shim Gyeong-seo’s home base.
If such a place is attacked and ruined, the damage will be great in many ways.

I can’t help it.
I need someone I know in Haomen to be able to move in midfield without wasting time, so I have to work hard.

Mad woman by the way?
Could it be the bitch who attacked Eunnang?
I still wanted to see that bitch, but it turned out well.

“Baek Cheong-ha! Wear clothes and come out!”

With all my strength, I called for Chungha, who was sleeping alone.
Last time I was interrupted by an unexpected raid, but I won’t miss it this time.

Buddha, God, Allah… Oh fuck, come to think of it, this is so fucking cumbersome.
It would be beneficial to call Mara-sama a few more times at the time to call the beings who don’t even bother.

Mara! Mara! Mara!
I make a wish again, but please, I hope that wakkoo will be a beauty!
Please allow the righteous self-control!

*        *

Aww!
Aaaaa!

“Everyone this way!”
“Evacuate this way!”

It was Haomen’s warriors, not soldiers or officials, who evacuated the residents of the port city of Shenzhen.

Of course, general Haomundos such as gisaengs and black swordsmen have already run away, and they are warriors that Shim Gyeong-seo personally gathered to expand his influence.

Originally, there was no intention of going out like this, but as soon as the soldiers of the military thought they couldn’t deal with it, they threw away their spears and ran away first, and it happened inevitably.

Since it will take a long time for this city to become a port city again if it is destroyed, Shim Gyeong-seo had to save the citizens.

House? Furniture?
That kind of thing can be made or bought with money, but it was a struggle to maintain the port city because people couldn’t get it.

Still, from the point of view of the people, just inducing someone to evacuate to a safe place made a big difference in the survival rate.

Especially now that the country’s officials and soldiers have fled.

“Honestly, it’s good for me to work when I’m corrupt like that, but in this situation, I’m coming back to the worst number.”

Shim Gyeong-seo, who bets everything on this business, smiled bitterly while managing the warriors.

To be honest, what made them so corrupt was that some of their own influence was also applied.

From the standpoint of smuggling, if the country’s officials and soldiers are diligent, problems arise, so they have killed those with enthusiasm using bribes.

This is one of the reasons Yuk Hyang, an official of the 4th rank, had to ask for help from Haenampa.

For your reference, Yukhyang disappeared while heading to Beijing thinking that it would be impossible to stop the smuggling any more after the Haenampa was destroyed.

“Hey, it’s Shim.”

When Shim Gyeong-seo, who was in command of the warriors, heard a very familiar voice in his ears, his face brightened at once.

This is because the master of the hwagyeong, which can be played at the cheapest price in the world, has arrived.
To be precise, they are masters, but in any case, Shim Gyeong-seo became the face of meeting the savior.

“You’re welcome! You know what I’m talking about, right?”
“Well, roughly. Instead, we have a request for you.”
“What do you want? Money? Treasure?”
“That’s enough, please be vigilant with the warriors available now.”
“Hmm?”

Shim Kyung-seo couldn’t hide her wonder at the words to be vigilant of the surroundings, not rewards like money or treasure.

“I think it’s the same person as the man who attacked your daughter. At that time, someone else helped me and I missed it, but today I’ll definitely catch it and kill it.”
“There was a collaborator. I see. I’ll order the warriors to surround the city right now!”

Haomen’s characteristic is that there are many people, so besieging one person is not a task.

“I’ll lend you my strength here too.”

Jincheon ordered Seo Yu-ran, Lim Ha-yeon, and Baek Cheong-ha to volunteer for the siege of Shim Gyeong-seo.

Cheon Hye-woon takes on the role of guarding the surroundings near Jincheon instead of pincerning in case someone breaks through the siege.

Shim Gyeong-seo, knowing that Seo Yu-ran, Lim Ha-yeon, and Baek Cheong-ha were masters, mixed the three properly and organized an encirclement to organically block any enemy coming from any direction.

Then, Jincheon, who will be the axis of the siege, began to warm up her body while receiving guidance from Shim Gyeong-seo’s subordinates where Gwangnyeo was.

‘If I do well, it will become one plus one.’

No matter what the relationship is, a mysterious great sword known by the nickname Golden Bug appears to save the mad woman.

For reference, Golden Chung was wrapped tightly in her cloth so that her true identity would not be revealed, but Jincheon instinctively sensed that she was a woman.

‘My female detection sensor responded. So the golden bug is a woman.’

Chin Cheon, who had the opportunity to capture the two women, decided to check whether or not she was a beauty by looking at her face, and headed to the place where the mad woman was with Hao Mun’s warrior.
