Chapter 537 – King Yan’s Disciple 5 (30)

The four people who were entrusted with the work decided to think about the work at home until they came from Hanam to Jeokgye.

It’s not like I will inherit the Han clan leadership like Xian Raven, but I went from being the youngest member of a low-ranking rank who had no presence to a martial artist who can compete with the kings of the martial arts world.

And that too very quickly, in less than 5 years.

First, I did not have the knowledge to run the business and could hardly help the family.

I heard that as my name spread, the reliability of our merchants increased, but the profits I made from it didn’t seem like it would make up for the cost of visiting Giru that I had spent so far.

However, things changed slightly when I embraced Zhuge Xian.

‘You can also carry it on the back of Zhuge Segal in Hubei.’

That’s a huge advantage.

Baek Moran, the sister-in-law who was like the wife of Han Si-hyuk, the eldest brother, did not have a biological family.

She worked at the top since she was young, but after quitting her job, she became involved with her eldest older brother, and they became engaged.

If there hadn’t been a big incident in the Namgung family, she would have gotten married a long time ago.

‘I don’t think there’s any news from my nephew yet.’

After receiving bridal lessons from her mother, she started living with her in a manor, and when her older brother returned from his business trip, he always stopped by his sister-in-law’s room.

When you have a child, it’s good to report it to the government and just become a married couple, but the person who will inherit the Han clan’s top ancestry couldn’t marry so casually.

However, the first brother was confirmed to become the next owner of the top, and it could be said that he had a wife who knew the business well, so the second brother’s position became strange.

‘Objectively speaking, he is more talented than his eldest brother.’

Her martial arts level was a little higher, and as she often went out for drinks, her network was a little deeper and more connected than that of her older brother.

Instead, she didn’t have a woman to help her, but I’m not sure if her older brother didn’t do it on purpose.

I don’t know if I’m satisfied with being an acting manager at the top, but sometimes I feel like I have ambition.

‘I have to make money too.’

The number of people I have to feed has increased.

There are already seven, including the Sichuan Three, Ah-seol, Jegal Seon-ah, her maid Yeon-hwa, and Yeon-hwa’s children.

With the help of the Jegal Sega, I think she will have a lot of money, but she doesn’t want Jegal Seon-ah to go to the Jegal Sega just yet.

‘Maybe I should steal a little.’

Just like I had fun every night in Zhejiang, I think I can save up a pretty solid emergency fund by traveling around other regions for a few days.

However, since the origin of the emergency fund so collected is unclear, it can only come from Jegal Seon-ah, who is nearby.

The money saved like that is only an emergency fund.

“Let’s not think alone.”

“What?”

Shahemos heard me and turned his head to look at me.

I thought it was cute to see Shahemos in the form of Sohye tilting her head, so I used my inner energy to massage her cheek from a distance.

“No one would use an empty object to touch their cheek like Seobang. You can’t feel anything.”

“But I’m half satisfied because I remember the feel of your cheek.”

“Touch it yourself, you idiot.”

Shahemos got up and sat on my thigh while I was sitting on the bed, and I touched his soft cheek with my hand.

Wozniel’s cheeks were also very soft…

If I called him out for no reason and someone saw him, I would be in trouble, so I decided to end this possession and just touch him.

“Han Sohyeop, can I come in?”

“It’s okay to come in.”

I heard Zhuge Xian’s voice outside the door, and I answered as I took Shahe Moss off her lap.

Zhuge Xian, who entered the room after biting the servant, walked with wide strides and stood in front of me.

“For what reason? Did you come here because you wanted to see me?”

“Hmm… I felt like I had to do something. It’s okay to train my martial arts skills, but as much as I dream of being a wise mother and good wife, I want to be helpful.”

Zhuge Xian was this kind of woman.

She is a woman who is willing to sacrifice herself for her loved ones more than her martial achievements.

Since it was something that could be connected to the concerns I was having, I thought it was a good idea and decided to share what I was thinking.

“Sister, I need money. No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, money doesn’t come naturally.”

“I see… We’ll have to find a manor to live in and hire people. It’s a topic worth thinking about.”

Even her brilliant head, Zhuge Xian, would never have considered that money was an issue.

She could not imagine that the Nangong family, which she had originally planned to join, the Sega family and the Zhuge family, who could be said to be the masters of Anhui, were short of money.

I don’t know if she expands her business so much that it shakes up Sega, but I don’t remember her doing that kind of expansion.

“There are a lot of things to think about, from buying land and starting agriculture to processing and transportation.”

“Isn’t the transportation business the same as what our merchants do?”

“Yes. My uncle will inherit it, but we can also claim a share. Unless you need money urgently, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start anew.”

“And if I use my martial arts skills, I won’t be an officer, right?”

“You’re not going to teach the Flame God Art, right? Do you have something in mind?”

“Are women’s skills and male’s skills too basic? They are definitely effective.”

There is no need to learn the inner gongsim method, which can be learned by both women and men. You just need to learn how to circulate the inner gong around a few large acupuncture points.

After teaching it to numerous people and seeing the effects, there was quite a difference compared to what I had not learned.

“Honestly, it’s too shallow. Just as you wanted, I created a shortcut called Simbeop that any woman can learn, but it’s a bit too much to pay money to teach it…”

Zhuge Xian, who produced the female protagonist, smiled slightly crookedly.

If you come to a military officer and pay money to learn martial arts, there is a good chance that you are sincere, but sending you out after teaching you for a day or two seems a bit like that.

“I heard that the corpse of a youkai is worth a lot of money. I heard that you made a lot of money because the shell of the ant monster you killed last time was known to be very hard and light?”

“Oh… That? Half of it would have been mine.”

“There may be a lot of money secretly accumulated.”

I was thinking about how much more money I could make as a driver from now on, but I didn’t realize that my share would already have been accumulated.

I’ll have to secretly ask my parents later.

“I have been saving up to use it for your wedding since I took Sohye with me. Are you going to take it now?”

“No, please keep it safe.”

It felt like it wasn’t my money to spend right now.

‘Because I will make you the Dark Spirit’s servant. Wouldn’t it be okay to steal?’

Last time I played in Zhejiang at night, I heard later that I was beaten by strict people because I didn’t leave any traces.

This time, I decided to leave behind clear evidence of my theft, and collected an ocher-colored stone of an appropriate size from Huangshan Mountain.

I briefly freed myself from possession and retrieved a magic circle from the Internet. I carved the magic circle into a very small stone and injected energy into it, and it flashed fluorescently.

“If I spray something like this, will I end up getting a nickname like Fluorescent Shintu?”

“Seobang’s naming sense is strange.”

Shahemos, who was next to me as I turned the fluorescent stone around, said something.

“It’s not me who decides on the nickname, but what other people call me becomes established. Now! Then, let’s go make an emergency fund.”

“You said you were going to use a warp marker, and then you used it to steal without even using it properly.”

Shahe Mos stood up, patted his ass, shook his head left and right, and was summoned back.

‘Let’s start from Sacheon and quickly tour the western part of the central plains.’

*

Although it was a short period of three days, the night gave me almost infinite mana, so I gathered enough emergency funds and came down from Hwangsan Mountain with light steps.

Then I suddenly looked up at the sky.

‘I think it would be nice to be able to use that light during the day, just like using Yeonyeong Shinkong at night.’

Then, wouldn’t it be possible to call it a quasi-natural wonder since you can actually recover your inner energy at any time of the day or night?

The heat absorbed by the Yeonyeom Shingong was quite easy to understand.

Absorbing internal energy from something abstract such as heat or heat was already at a level that could not be explained unless it was a magical energy.

And it would not be an exaggeration to say that Yeonyeong Shingong, created by connecting it with Shadow Mastery, was a natural sight limited to the night.

‘Expansion of the concept.’

I used Yeonyoung Shingong and other skills with the feeling of adding another attribute through the skill link.

What would happen if I categorized the five properties I can use now into one?

Heat, shadow, demonic energy, divinity, chaos…

I think it is difficult to obtain magical energy and divinity from nature.

Then what remains is chaos…

‘I think it would be better to learn how to manipulate light. Because it is somewhat similar to divinity.’

While I was thinking that, Shahemos, who was riding on my back, squeezed my neck a little hard.

“West, let’s go back quickly.”

“Okay. I’m getting some rest at home today too.”

“I came back quickly this time, but you know it’s my turn when I go to the academy, right?”

“Yes. Yes.”

After lightly patting Shahemos’ butt on his back to show understanding, he quickly ran towards Mr. Han’s manor.

*

Until now, when I went to build a relationship with Zhuge Xian, I deliberately took him to Giru, but today I went to the room where Zhuge Xian is staying.

“Seon-ah, will you go in?”

“Yes. It’s okay to come in.”

She had scented candles lit to brighten the mood in a clean room, and the room was spotless.

The clothes were not the gaudy clothes he wore after washing his body at Giru, but he was wearing the neat clothes he usually wore, and I thought that these suited Zhuge Seon-ah better.

Just as Zhuge Xian had done before heading to Huangshan Mountain, I took her long strides and quickly approached the bed where Zhuge Xian was sitting.

“You kept your promise this time? You came back properly in three days.”

“The last time I was gone for a long time without speaking was unusual.”

Holding Jegal Sun-ah’s round shoulder with one hand, I bent down and kissed her, engraving her silent magic circle in her room so that only I could hear her voice crying and whispering her love. Br〉

After a rather long kiss, we made eye contact and laughed lightly at the same time.

“I guess I should tone down my voice a little today, right?”

“What if you can endure it?”

“This horny♡”
