24 – Well done meal

The next day, Yeon received the 5-star inner pill from Murimmong.

“I’ve received it.”

Han Arin, who was watching us, also looked at us as if she was curious.

“Great. Now, Yeonha can take it.”

There was a moment of silence at those words. Han Arin was the first one to speak.

“Gongja, I may not know much about Muwi, but there must be a reason why the 5-star exclusive inner pill is only meant for 5-star practitioners. If someone below that level consumes it, they will die.”

Paeng Yaha spoke expressionlessly.

“…Eat and die… Kekeuk.”

However, Yeon consumed the pill without any hesitation. Han Arin rushed towards her, trying to make her spit it out.

“Groan! Ughhh!!”

She pushed Han Arin away and immediately placed her hand on Yeonha’s back, injecting her energy and suppressing it.

Danjeon. No, it was pure energy overwhelmingly filling her body. She inserted her saliva to suppress it.

“In fact, I don’t have any exceptional skills either, but I possess a 4-star energy. The reason why Juhwaipma hasn’t arrived yet is simple.”

Because she suppressed it and made it hers.

Normally, it would be impossible. But her grandmother’s acupuncture made it possible.

As she inserted eight acupuncture needles, Yeonha’s expression relaxed.

“Concentrate. Let’s try practicing Un Gong here.”

Yeonha quickly sat down and started practicing Un Gong.

“I’ll show you the way.”

Swoosh. She injected energy while drawing the path. Injecting more energy into an already saturated state is said to be dangerous. But this case was different.

She extracted a tiny bit of energy to create a landmark.

And… she held onto it.

Claiming sovereignty over a massive river, capable of changing its course by digging into the ground and blocking it with rocks and trees.

“Just hold on a little longer.”

“Groan!!”

A radiance flowed out from Yeonha’s body. Indeed, this inner pill that only a 5-star practitioner could consume was both powerful and of great quality.

Slowly, she pushed in the cleanest part of the energy into the danjeon.

“Haa… Haa…”

Little by little, the scattered energies nearby returned to their positions.

Un Gong has many similarities to organizing.

Throw away the unnecessary among the things that are rolling around, and put the important ones in the knapsack.

How many hours have passed? There are still many struggles wandering inside me, but I have come down to a level where I can withstand it even without flying in the sky.

“You’ve suffered.”

I hold the suffering subordinate in my arms. She seems to like it when I do this.

The subordinate must have been tired, as she even acts out in front of Hana and Pung-ya-hwa.

“So kind. So kind.”

“Please stroke me a little more… a little more…”

“By the way, I didn’t know you would swallow it without hesitation.”

“I thought Eun-ho wouldn’t say useless words to me.”

“How’s your body?”

“…Your strength has become so strong that I can’t recognize it. If I practice a bit more and train the remaining ether in my body… I can reach the 5th stage.”

The subordinate asked me with a slightly worried expression.

“But… if I eat this, isn’t it not helping Eun-ho?”

I smiled mischievously and replied.

“Just continue to help me with that power. That’s enough, isn’t it?”

“Eun-ho…”

After that, I heard from the stronger subordinate about Hana and the treatment contents.

Of course, Grandma was there too.

“Are you borrowing Eun-ho?”

“Please…!”

“Supreme Cheonghongchu. You want me to lend my disciple to an old man like me. No way.”

“Grandma…”

“Moreover, you’re going all the way to the end of the continent? Has this thorny animal gone crazy? I can’t leave the Wulin League right now. To a place where my hand can’t reach! At this time! It’s not right for Eun-ho to be away from me.”

Pung-ya-hwa whispered that Hana’s expression right now is like a drenched cat.

“Eun-ho, say something.”

Grandma opened her eyes wide and said, but I firmly replied.

“I… want to go.”

“………..”

Silence flowed. Even though I was her grandson, I was cautious because Grandma’s scolding was scary.

“Why is that?”

I hesitated for a moment. If there’s a reason, it’s probably because she seems like a character who plays an important role in the story…

Even though the memory was blurry from my time at the setting house, it seemed to be there…

There’s no harm in revealing my identity to a transcendent master.

But, I can’t just simply reveal everything either…

“Arin’s sister’s illness is called ‘Dragon Blood.'”

I felt my grandma’s eyebrows twitch.

“Dragon Blood?”

In a tone demanding an explanation, Hana Arin quickly explained.

“Her body is decaying, suffering from constant fever and headaches. We called in other excellent doctors, but they couldn’t find a cure…”

“It’s not mage?”

“No, there was no magic. Her limbs were almost decaying, so it was impossible to move her here… please… have Master Eunho come and visit!”

“So, Eunho, the reason and the reason I’m following her…”

“It took 5 years for me to learn my grandmother’s techniques. I always thought about it when laying out the needles. How good am I? Recently, I feel fulfilled when giving acupuncture to other people. I can do it too. I thought.”

I said the most convincing things to my grandmother inside.

“I am the grandson of Yu Adok-jeon Jang Myung-soon. I can’t leave people in an injustice, and I also want to know how good my skills are.”

My grandmother made a groaning sound as she observed my unwavering determination.

“You must… must go.”

“Yes.”

“Did you say Hana Arin?”

“Yes… that’s right!”

“There is one condition. You must come back immediately if Eunho loses interest. Even if he doesn’t want to go, you must send him back right away. That’s the deal.”

“I’ll remember.”

“But still, it’s of no use if the crown prince doesn’t return, even if he’s interested in half. It’s pointless.”

I thanked my grandmother as I patted her shoulder. She had to lift her feet even though she was sitting because of her height.

“Eunho, my grandson.”

“Yes, grandmother.”

“Stop by the Mage Chamber before visiting the Limming Clan. I will explain everything that happened at the Mage Shrine.”

“Grandmother, do you know my secret?”

“I know.”

Grandma took my hand and went to the young master’s mansion.

3.

As I entered the conference room, many people were already waiting. The long-time members, the nobles, and even the young master and Samjon.

Everyone who was there that day was present.

“I want to properly explain what I roughly explained last time.”

“That…is it about the secret of the grandson?”

Jang Moon-in Ha Cheong-won asked. Jang Myeong-soon nodded.

“If you find out this secret and if you reveal it to someone, you will be associated with me.”

Jang Myeong-soon and Cheok who played with the six-year-old war god, Yacha.

That statement caused tension among everyone present.

Even Eun-ho was curious about what truth was worthy of being disclosed to such an extent. At the same time, he was nervous.

“Let’s be firm about this.”

“Is there no way we can’t listen at all?”

There were also those who did not want to take that risk. No, most of them.

But Jang Myeong-soon was sure.

“Didn’t they all see that scene? Besides… it’s not like we can just ignore it. They won’t leave it alone in the ma-gyo.”

“……I see.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Jang Myeong-soon said,

“Eun-ho… is a spirit.”

“What?”

There was a silence in the conference room. Paeng Oryong, a nobleman of Habeokpaengga, cautiously raised his hand.

“Like a god or a phoenix?”

“Higher quality than that.”

The young master raised his hand.

“It’s difficult to believe, but is this reliable information? Eun-ho doesn’t feel anything in his current state.”

“When Eun-ho opens his single door, things happen. Normal people can’t even maintain their sanity and try to attack Eun-ho for his flesh and saliva. Eun-ho is pure spirit itself. The Jade Emperor’s child.”

“Are you targeting Eun-ho in the ma-gyo?”

“Don’t even think about selling Eun-ho to the ma-gyo or anything like that. The moment Eun-ho falls into the hands of the heavenly demons, even if all the masters of the world come running, they won’t be able to defeat them.”

The long-timers and nobles swallowed nervously at those words.

“En-ho. Are you okay?”

“Yes?”

“If you hear that you are an immortal being, I can’t imagine how you would feel…”

“Isn’t that a good thing? Unless a demon is after you.”

“In that case, I’m glad.”

Although that’s what was said, I was quite taken aback. Releasing the aether in one’s body turns them into an immortal being full of blood and flesh.

Immortal being: a holy creature like a phoenix. However, sometimes it is used as a martial artist’s secret weapon.

The reason I was so surprised was that I was actually food? Rather than being surprised that I was food, it was because it wasn’t part of the original setting.

Moyong-se-ga’s Moyong-seo-hee, the protagonist of the novel I was reading.

My name was currently Jang En-ho. However, the original protagonist was simply a master of the Territory Swordsmanship who pestered a blind male protagonist with women.

Because he was aware of the fact that it was a reverse world, the content was about walking the path to becoming a martial arts master while maintaining modern masculinity.

However, there was no mention in the setting book of being the Golden Child or of having a body that lived on as an immortal.

There was no mention of Ma-kyo coveting it either.

“Younger one.”

“Why are you saying that?”

“Would you like to try it?”

“En-ho once again, as a man, saying something like that…”

Fopok embraced Younger one and asked.

“Would you like to try it?”

“…”

Only then did Younger one seem to realize that I was talking about cannibalism.

“Don’t say such ridiculous things.”

After a moment of silence, Younger one spoke.

“You seem more…anxious than I thought.”

“Me?”

“Your hands are shaking.”

“…”

Me?

Yeonha grabbed my hand. I could feel a warm energy. My hands were cold.

“Honestly tell me,” she said.

I glanced at the sky for a moment before speaking.

“It’s not that I’m a spiritual being, but rather that the Heavenly Demon is aiming for me… I’m a little anxious. I’m sorry. It’s just that when I opened the barrier last time, people who were running away came rushing towards me like a group of zombies.”

“Zombies?” she asked.

“Something like a gangster.”

“…Didn’t Grandma mention it in the meeting? If you’re a martial artist, everyone will be drawn to Eunho, who opened the barrier.”

“…”

Suddenly, Yeonha kissed me.

“Mwah… Chu.”

I could feel the warmth on her blushing cheek. Nevertheless, she spoke determinedly to me.

“If it’s the fate that every martial artist is inevitably drawn to you, then I will protect you from everyone except me. So, don’t be afraid.”

Only then did I feel a slight tremble in my body. I was unexpectedly uneasy.

“And…”

Yeonha hesitated before speaking.

*Slick*. Judging by the sound, it seemed like she licked her lips.

“I’ve eaten well.”
