Chapter 227 – 227. Wise Healing

Even after Baekwoon left the room, Seonyu remained in her place for a long time, pondering over and over again. His proposal causes conflict, and the pros and cons are heatedly debating, causing his brain to overheat.

‘There is no mistake in the words of the Uicheondanju. But… Do I really have to abandon Haenam’s name for a while?’

The cost required to rebuild the giant munpa. Lacking an upper bound on how astronomical funds it would require, he knew very well that reconstruction would be close to impossible even considering the amount he had estimated.
Even the Haenam faction is a huge munpa that was created because it monopolized all the resources of Haenam.

As long as Haenam is in a situation close to destruction, it will be difficult to rebuild Haenampa even if all resources on the island are swept away.

So you have to go out and make money. Even that, it was impossible to rebuild right away unless you successively attacked the demonic realm where you could aim for a quick fortune, or received support from several representative countries of the Middle East and China, showing the possibility of becoming great in the future.
You have to spend time and earn money, but having 20 people is a very limited number.

What you can do is limited, and even that, you don’t know how much money you will collect if you use it for living expenses. How harsh their lives would be if his disciples added the money they had shed blood and sweat to spend on reconstruction.

Sacrificing his disciples to raise money that may come at any time for the reconstruction of the Haenam faction? For Seonyu, it was a thought that would break her heart.

Priests, brother-in-law, sa-suk, teachers, etc. Who were killed by parasitic monsters, and the screams they vomited every time they died one by one with their eyes yearning for life, seemed to be heard as hallucinations when they closed their eyes.
To have such children sacrifice themselves for Haenampa. Even though Seonyu couldn’t do that, he couldn’t let go of the reconstruction of Haenampa.

If this is the case, I will not be able to face the ancestors who raised the Haenampa to the Gupailbang as a long-time writer even after winning the first prize.

Are you sacrificing your disciples to cling to imperfect reconstruction? Do you give up reconstruction and tell your disciples to live faithfully in their lives?
If that’s not the case…

‘Currently, the proposal for Yongcheon Danju is the most realistic.’

Although he has to accept Baekwoon’s offer and become a member of the Haenamdae Club instead of the Haenam faction, giving fame to Uicheondan.
Wouldn’t it be much more profitable to receive astronomical funding in exchange for its fame and to reliably rebuild Haenampa ten years later?

There is no doubt about the financial power of the Uicheondan, which is said to have been earning a lot of money by attacking the demonic world with an exact period specified.

Then, as a long-time writer, wouldn’t it be right for him to accept this disgraceful offer?

However, at the moment when the name ‘Haenampa’ was still holding on to his ankle and he was unable to make a decision, there was someone knocking on the door and asking to enter the room.

Smart smart

“Long Moon. May I go in?”
“…Come in.”
“Then excuse me.”

The person who opened her door and entered was Hu Jin, her lover and great disciple.

Across from her, she sat on the cushion that Baekwoon had been using until just now, and looked at her.

“I heard the story from Yonggun. The offer to join the Uicheondan… No, he told me the price along with the deal.”
“Did you ask me to convince you?”
“Yes. I heard that there was a way to save Master separately at the same time as the strange magic. Perhaps it was because he had already made a decision in his heart, there was not much hesitation in coming here.”

Hujin looked at her Seonyu with her young gaze eagerly. Receiving that gaze from her, she flinched.

‘That gaze is the same as back then.’

After the love affair between Yonggun and the priest after the sword became known, Hujin also solidified her resolve and gave her the same gaze as when she confessed to herself.
It was not difficult to guess that he had decided on something big.

“Master, please accept the dragon’s proposal.”
“Can you tell me how you came to that conclusion?”
“It’s going to be a bit of a long story.”
“That much I can give you as much time as possible.”

Seeing Seon-yu say that with a wry smile, Hu-jin, who had been looking at him eagerly, opened his mouth.

“Unlike Swordsman and Yonggun, we are being criticized even though we are the same priest and lover. It was when I realized that the name Haenampa was powerless to stop not only me but also Master being dishonored. “I can’t protect you properly. I need more strength,” He said.
“That’s…”
“Yes. I know.”

This time, Hu Jin smiled bitterly. It was the expression of an adult who accepted the fact that there is no romance in reality and compromised.

“That’s because Yonggun and Swordhu are both strong men who have stepped onto the stage of absolute adherence, and it’s the physiology of Murim with the name Kangho, who can defend their beliefs with force. That’s why we decided even more in this case. If we bow down and go under the Uicheondan, no one will criticize us even if we look at him. At the same time, we will be given physical protection and a chance to earn money safely to build a foundation to strengthen the fence of Haenam again.”
“But we are the Haenam faction. I am the people of the sea who slept on this island. Didn’t you know that I couldn’t give up my name so easily because of the profit and loss right in front of me?”
“There is a saying in Hwasan. If there is a time for plum blossoms to fall, then there is a time for them to bloom in full bloom.”

Watching Seon-yu speak as if pleading, Hu-jin continued her words as calmly as possible.

“The same goes for the waves in the South Sea. Even though you want to have a calm sea, there are times when rough waves come crashing in. Right now, the waves are too rough, so you can just think of avoiding them for a while. Wouldn’t it be nice to let the next generation know that?”

And what’s more-

“I can’t see Master, my woman suffering until she dies. Please do this foolish Jiabi’s favor.”
“…”

Those words were the decisive blow.

Seonyu made a decision.

***

Seon-yu called me before the day had passed.

“I will accept your offer. Fortunately or unfortunately, none of the surviving disciples are dating. By the way, were there people on the Uicheondan side who would go out to save our disciples?”
“The White Night Team, made up of snow women from the North Sea, is more active than I thought. I’ve almost been caught up in its charm, so Haenampa male disciples will be seduced right away.”
“Even if I say something, if I make it pretty, where will it go?”

She treats the guys from the Haenam Pavilion as little kids messing around with her pretty sister, so Seon-yu said that with a gruff face. Then, she caught her expression and heard her next story.

“What else is there to cure me anyway?”
“It’s simple. You just have to give up on humans.”
“…Are you kidding me right now?”

Looking at Seon-yu’s wrinkled expression, it seems that he accepted the treatment as an evil method.
It’s just an illusion, though.

I took out a circle the size of a fist, supposed to be the inner end, from my pocket.

“That?”
“This is the mermaid king’s inner circle.”

I’ve been to a demon race before, where I had to attack a demon race owner whose nest was a lake large enough to be mistaken for the sea. At that time, it was easy to kill and take possession of the mermaids who had become agitated by evaporating all the water in the lake over several days.
Since the lower half of the body is a fish, it was easy to kill it on land without water.

And through this, I was thinking of transforming her into a monster in front of her eyes.

“There is a Dafa that I know of. It is to make Naedan more immersed in the body and artificially undergo metamorphosis to become a species of youkai, the original owner of Naedan.”

Of course, Seonyu’s lower body would never become a fish. Even if you change the species, it’s not enough to completely overthrow the roots.

However, the characteristics of a youkai will become prominent throughout the body, such as the growth of scales on the legs. You may be criticized by others for being ugly and for being a mongrel.

“If you eat this, scales will grow randomly all over your body and you will have the characteristics of a mermaid youkai. It’s said to be a metamorphosis, but in reality, your body will only change to that of a youkai, but there will be no change in inaction.”
“However, in the midst of artificial body changes, parasitic youkai suddenly lose their homes and die from being swept away by the energy waves.”
“You got it right. Even though you have to become a human, your values ​​and the nature of your martial arts don’t change. It’s just that your appearance changes slightly and you get the characteristics of a youkai. It’s a great law, but it’s better than losing your life.”

She stared at the mermaid king’s inner bed, then turned her gaze to me and looked at her intently.

“Uicheon Danju is really talented.
“Even if there are, there is no one who can use them normally. How many people do you think will give up being human in order to build up more internal energy without changing their musculature? I did receive it.”

Actually, I don’t really like this Dafa either. It’s better than losing your life, but it makes you feel like you’re helping Lu’s plan to turn all mankind into monsters.

Unless it’s a special case like Seonyu where a body change is necessary to save life, taking it out is really one-handed.

“The Supreme Court will be held tonight. Until then, inform his disciples of the details of the deal.”
“…I see.”

Accepting the fact that she would be giving up Haenam’s name for a while, she replied with her darkened face.
