Chapter 116 – Chapter 116- Origin Wisdom (5)

The three ordeals seen through the fox orb.

Lee Mi-ryeong sent everyone except me out of the room, as if she was going to talk about this ordeal in the future.

Left alone with Lee Mi-ryeong, I looked at the fox beads in front of me in a tense state.

Jijik-. Support position-.

The fox orb, which had been emitting a blue light before, had been emitting a blue current since I touched it.

Also in the area I touched.

“This is a big deal, right?”

I couldn’t read the fox orb, and I didn’t know the details of origin foreknowledge.

Once I knew something was terribly wrong.

With uneasy eyes, he watched the orb still making a crackling sound.

“It’s okay, son-in-law. Rather, it’s a big deal, so you’ll benefit from this prayer foresight. As you already know, prayer foresight will definitely change the future for the better. So don’t worry.”

Lee Mi-ryeong stroked her fox beads.

The crackling blue current gradually faded.

Lee Mi-ryeong looked at her gold beads for a moment with sunken red eyes, then moved her gaze to me.

“Son-in-law, did you see anything just now?”

“What are you talking about…”

Since I was in this room all the time, I questioned what I saw.

Just before.

When I caught the fox orb, I remembered that my vision was momentarily pushed back.

Shiny scales.

My soul is pulled out, in a state where I feel like I’m looking down on myself.

Clearly, shiny scales appeared in front of my eyes.

As I made an expression as if I noticed something, Lee Mi-ryeong asked me once again as if she had already expected it.

“You saw it when you caught the fox orb. Come on and tell me.”

“I saw the scales. Something like shiny scales appeared in front of my eyes, and I tried to grab it without even realizing it… But I missed it because I suddenly came back to consciousness.”

“I see.”

Lee Mi-ryung, wagging her bountiful tail, seemed interested in her thoughts.

Seeing her prick up her triangular ears in this situation reminded me of Miho for some reason.

It was because Miho always waggled his tail and pricked up his ears like that whenever he was deep in thought.

“Son-in-law, do you know what an ordeal is to receive prayer knowledge?”

“No. Actually, I didn’t even know there was an ordeal.”

At my honest answer, Lee Mi-ryeong lightly laughed.

“It’s so secretive, and the person who received the knowledge doesn’t want to talk about it… It’s only natural that they don’t know.”

It’s a bit sorry to express Lee Mi-ryeong’s smile with her eyes slightly raised.

It was bewildering and mysterious.

Lee Mi-ryeong’s appearance was attractive enough to make me think of this even though I knew how many years the nine-tailed monster in front of me had spent.

I shook my head at her, thinking that it was the manifestation of the fascination that is characteristic of the Tailed Foxes.

“Hoo~?”

Perhaps noticing my blank gaze for a second, Lee Mi-ryeong let out a strange snort.

And she told me

“You must be curious about what an ordeal is. Just enough to stare blankly at me like that.”

“Yes..? Yes.”

I was startled and straightened up.

Lee Mi-ryeong let out her laugh mixed with her snort as if it were cute, and she quietly brought out her explanation of her ordeal as if to listen carefully.

“Trial. The name is grandiose, but the things that the person who receives wisdom go through are not so grandiose.”

Lee Mi-ryeong stretched out her slender fingers and touched her beads.

The marble emitted a blue light in accordance with the touch.

“It’s just a sneak peek in order to change the future enough to shake the world.”

“You’re peeping?”

“It is.”

In an instant, Lee Mi-ryeong’s momentum changed.

The momentum I felt was all but gone, and only the mysterious and noble nine-tailed fox existed in front of my eyes.

“Because if you propose a solution right away without any warning, you won’t be able to handle the aftermath. Taking steps and narrowing the gap for the future.”

Grip support.

The marble vomited an electric current once.

Lee Mi-ryeong stroked the surged current as if nothing was wrong.

Surprisingly, the current went into the fox beads and hid itself.

“So, the ordeal you will go through in the future will not simply solve a certain goal, but the goal will be to see the situation. Perhaps the first scale you saw is also a kind of ordeal.”

Shiny scales.

When I thought that this was related to my future, there was something naturally associated with it.

Yongrin-gap, a keepsake and sacred item left by her mother.

It had a different blue color than the scales we saw earlier, but the shape was almost similar to that of the Yonglin Gap.

“……”

I wondered if it might be a future related to my mother’s clan.

Apparently that wasn’t the case.

‘Because the Imoogi clan became extinct after the war.’

It wasn’t clear, but from what I heard, the Imoogi clan suffered considerable damage in the ceremony her mother went through to become a dragon.

Also, since the evil forces were targeting the Imoogi clan, I was the only bloodline of the Imoogi clan that remained.

However, I didn’t have any special characteristics to be the blood of the one remaining Imoogi clan.

If I had to pick one, he was just an unusual shaman, except for his strong strength or quick healing power.

Perhaps what that future shows is a foretelling that something related to my mother will unfold.

Lee Mi-ryeong looked at me, who was deep in thought, and spoke to her.

“You’re lost in thought, son-in-law. Looking at those scales, there’s a youkai that’s naturally associated with it, so of course it is.”

“… Did you know your mother?”

“Then.”

Lee Mi-ryung pricked up her ears, and she brushed off the aloofness that naturally surrounded her.

“He was kind and a good friend. I could catch a glimpse of that face on my son-in-law’s face, so just looking at him makes me feel better.”

Mi-ryeong Lee looked at me with her bewitching eyes that went up.

At that moment, I felt the illusion of being sucked in by Lee Mi-ryeong.

Because I was immune to hypnosis, hallucinations, and illusions.

The sensations I felt right now were only felt in the atmosphere and appearance.

But strangely, as if I was in a hallucination, I couldn’t help but lose my gaze to Lee Mi-ryeong.

As if teasing me, Lee Mi-ryeong lightly licked her thick lips with her tongue and gently waggled her tail.

“Kuhm!”

It was only then that I was able to take my eyes off of Lee Mi-ryeong.

Clearing my throat and trying to lighten the mood, I brought up the topic I just discussed.

“So the ordeal isn’t particularly dangerous, so you’re saying you don’t have to worry about it?”

“Yes. That’s not going to happen, but if you don’t cooperate with the trials or run away, it’s impossible to predict the origin, so don’t be too complacent.”

“Yes. I’ll try to see as much as possible.”

“Then, if you look at me the way your son-in-law looked at me just now, you’ll be able to solve it.”

Embarrassed, he coughed again.

Lee Mi-ryeong waggled her tail gently.

“It’s a joke, son-in-law.”

“Please don’t tease me too much.”

She asked Lee Mi-ryeong, who was smiling effortlessly as if she were cute.

Lee Mi-ryeong blinked her red eyes as if she didn’t know what she was talking about.

“And the son-in-law. I called the son-in-law for a different purpose than the trials.”

I swallowed in a gulp.

It seemed like it had finally started.

It was something I was determined to do since I introduced him as Miho’s son-in-law.

Talk about whether she is serious about Miho or how she will take responsibility for her daughter’s future.

Anticipating that she would bring up such a story, I had thought of lines in advance to show Miho her firm heart.

‘Come.’

As I set up lines suitable for various situations, Lee Mi-ryeong’s lips slowly opened.

And the story that followed was a shocking story that was completely different from what I expected.

“Yes?”

Even though I knew it was rude, I had no choice but to ask.

That’s why the story just before was so shocking that it contained crazy content.

Looking at Lee Mi-ryung as if she was serious, Lee Mi-ryung quietly nodded her head and spoke her words again.

“Have a relationship with Mina and Mihee, son-in-law. Wouldn’t it be nice to marry a trustworthy man while giving a daughter-in-law?”

Lee Mi-ryeong, who finished her words calmly, let out her exclamation as if she had forgotten and added a word.

“Oh, and don’t worry because Mina and Mihee are both virgins. I already know about your constitution. Shouldn’t you have sex with a virgin to recover your yin qi? Chilmi and Omini, who both Mina and Mihee have strong yin qi, this time Take the opportunity to bite three foxes and cover them up.”

I opened and closed my mouth squeamishly.

Irrespective of my reaction, Lee Mi-ryeong smiled bewitchingly and added one more word.

“If you can’t get it right, even four.”

It was a bonus that I was even more astonished by these words.

Arriving late in the afternoon, the sun went down quickly, and before I knew it, I was spending the night at the shrine of the Tailed Fox clan.

The crescent moon hung low in the night sky and the bamboos in the garden swayed and spat out the sound of water.

Sting- sting-.

It was as if I was staying in a secluded rural village when I could hear the sound of insects.

I was staring blankly at the small pond, thinking about the conversation I had with Lee Mi-ryeong.

Someone hugged me from behind.

“Who?”

Sweet scent, soft texture.

It was a familiar feeling, so I could guess who it was without hearing his voice.

Without saying a word, I reached out and patted Miho’s waist.

Miho rubbed his body even more, as if my reaction was good.

“Look at Hanjun.”

Miho stepped out of his arms to see if he had something to show, and directed my gaze.

Turning her head, she saw Miho, who was wearing a shaman’s uniform like her older sisters.

Just as Lee Mi-na wore a sleeveless white shaman’s dress and a red skirt, and Lee Mi-hee wore a black shaman’s dress and a red skirt.

Miho was wearing a light blue shaman’s uniform and a red skirt.

“Matches well?”

“It suits you so well, honey.”

“Huh… Honey?!”

Miho clutched her chest.

Miho blushed and looked up at me with dangerous eyes.

“Heh..Hehe… New groom Han Joon. It’s too erotic.”

Just by teasing her for a moment, Miho was ready to attack me at any moment.

Perhaps because they were treated as husband and wife at this shrine, the number of people looking at me with meaningful eyes increased more than before.

I looked at my seat with the futon spread out and said to Miho.

“Go back to your room, honey. The night is over, so you should go to sleep.”

“Shall we sleep?”

Miho vigorously waggled his tail.

“It’s an ordeal tomorrow, so what kind of bed is it? And what if I hear all the noise?”

“Yo… Somehow with magic.”

I pushed Miho out.

“See you tomorrow, honey.”

“Yes… Yes, Mr. Seo.”

Still, smirking at the sound of honey, Miho meekly backed off.

Click.

After locking the door, I was left alone in the room, recalling the conversation I had with Lee Mi-ryeong.

It was undoubtedly a proposition that would benefit me.

Because I already lost my yin energy due to my father’s sickness.

But…

For me, a Confucian boy who grew up in Korea, to have a relationship with Miho’s older sisters, who are members of Miho’s family, felt very immoral.

As I was grunting and thinking about it, I suddenly felt the need to urinate.

“Let’s go to the bathroom and go to sleep.”

I got up from my seat thinking that I would put this concern aside.

I opened the door made of window paper and wood, and walked across the wooden floor.

The hallway of the gentleman with a clear view of the yard was quite tasteful.

On the way to the bathroom with a cool night breeze.

Suddenly, the door next to me burst open.

“…?”

Turning around, I saw red eyes prying open the door and watching me.

I wanted to be Miho.

I realized that it was Lee Mi-na, not Mi-ho, at the small new model that followed.

I tried to say hello naturally.

Before that, Imina looked at me and whispered.

“Hypnosis!”

I stood still in this absurd situation.

Already seeing my unmoving figure, she ordered me.

“Raise your hands like me!”

I quietly raised my hand.

I already waggled her seven tails and smiled.

“It’s… That’s it!”

It was the moment that reminded me of my first meeting with Miho in the past.
