“gaga!?”
“My lord!?”
“Old man!?”
The back of my head gets hot as my wives call me.
I could feel my wives’ intense gaze on the back of my head.
Is that all?
Aside from the wives, voices of surprise and anger also came out from the mouths of my mother and Okso-gyo, excluding Cheonma and me.
“Hey, Cheongun-ah, what do you mean? You’re Seonghwa’s aunt.”
“What kind of nonsense does that bastard dare to satisfy Seonghwa’s taste buds once!”
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I suddenly asked Cheonma to be my aunt.
But the commotion soon died down.
Because Cheonma raised his hand slightly to gather everyone’s attention, and then spoke in a tone that suggested that he wasn’t in a very good mood.
“He and I are talking. And shouldn’t you listen to the end of the story?”
Then, the atmosphere was cleared up in an instant.
In the quiet pavilion, Cheonma’s voice flowed out again.
“When I say aunt, I assume you mean your mother’s sister. Is that correct?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“What did you mean by that?”
Although he asked in a calm voice, there was an uncontrollable curiosity in his eyes.
He smiled and explained what it meant.
The wives were shocked and their hearts were pounding, but this method I had thought was the best.
“Of course there are other reasons, but from what I heard from my mother, the reason Cheonma came to Bokju was to see me. He wanted to eat my cooking and see what kind of person I was.”
“Yeah, I think it would be fun in many ways.”
“Yes, I was a little surprised, but I am getting married soon. It is a joy to have such an honored guest at such a grand banquet. That is why I told you that I would be welcoming you as a guest at my wedding.”
“Yeah, I remember.”
“Yes. But there is something that worries me a little.”
“worry?”
“yes.”
“Let’s continue talking.”
Cheonma tilts his head at my words that he is worried.
He continued speaking while looking into the golden eyes of the Heavenly Horse.
“I decided to invite Cheonma-nim, but I am worried because.
Since my wife’s family is a family, the guests who will come will probably be the heads or elders of the old school, as well as the elders of the martial arts alliance and martial arts world.
If the adults of Honey Murim and Cheonma were to gather in one place, wouldn’t something unpleasant happen at the wedding?
As the host of a wedding, it is impossible not to worry about the safety of the guests.
So, I’m not really asking you to be my aunt. I’m asking you to be my mother’s aunt, my sister, for the time you stay with me as my guest.
“I am afraid that something unpleasant may happen on this special day, so could you please grant me a favor?”
The wives seemed surprised that Cheonma suddenly asked them to become their aunts, but I had my own thoughts.
If my mother wants to attend the wedding, she will have to go to Bokju, so it is only natural that she will have to invite her superior, Cheonma.
The more we try not to bring Cheonma, the more fun it will be, so he might say he’ll attend, and that’s why I’ve already invited Cheonma.
But no matter how I thought about it, this problem was serious.
In the end, the two greatest martial arts masters will be gathered in one place, but it seems unlikely that Cheonma will hide his identity.
If I had said, “I’m a thousand years old,” at our first meeting, not only would my wedding be ruined, it would have been a bloody wedding.
Even if I ask the cans of Baekdo Murim to endure my wedding, will they endure it?
It was natural that a sword would be drawn instead of an answer.
So what should we do?
The only way for my wedding to proceed smoothly was for the master Cheonma to hide his skills and identity.
Since he is a master of the present, he could disguise himself as the culprit.
‘I thought about this a lot.’
As soon as I finished speaking, Cheonma tapped the tray and said.
“Did you think I was the kind of person who would shed blood at a fancy wedding?”
A reaction of something being unpleasant.
I quickly answered her question.
Because it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
“That, that’s not possible. I’ve only known you for a few days, but I know you wouldn’t do that.”
“embrace?”
“Yes, even when he reveals his power, he does not let it affect a criminal like me. Also, when the Jade Elder disobeys his orders, he may be annoyed but does not truly punish me.
Moreover, this is not because I am afraid that Cheonma-nim will cause trouble. It is because of the other elders of the martial arts world.
“I’m afraid that you might come running like a moth to a flame just because the Heavenly Horse has appeared for no reason…”
“garden tiger moth?”
“Yes, like a moth flying into a flame without even knowing that its own body is burning···.”
Then Cheonma asked back with a slightly surprised expression.
It seemed that my expression was something that could not come out of my mouth as the son-in-law of the fifth generation of martial arts masters in the Central Plains.
“You think that I would never lose to anyone I fight? Why is that? Even though you haven’t learned martial arts, you are also a person from the Central Plains martial arts world.
Even if they saw my inaction, wouldn’t they think everyone else would agree if they gathered together?
“Your mind is so bewildered that you don’t doubt it even a little bit.”
Why, why would that be?
Usually in martial arts settings there is low power and high power.
Low Power refers to the fact that most martial artists are of low skill level, and only one or two appear in the highest level martial arts world. Even if you reach the level of the Eight Kings, you become the absolute ruler of the Central Plains martial arts world.
This is the world of low-power martial arts, where people fight with black thugs and run wild on the market floor.
On the other hand, High Power is a setting where the world of martial arts is full of realms that Cheong-i has reached, and realms that Cheon-ma has reached, and it can be said that it is a setting where a master who has turned back and is in a state of shock is kicked by a master of the level of the Eight Kings, and the master of the realm, Cho-jeong-jeong, is kicking the master of the realm.
It’s a setting where a child who has been kicked out of the game shouts to the old masters, “Ha, Latte has never done anything like that.”
But the setting of the era I’m in now is probably a transitional period from low power to high power.
That is understandable, as the era of the Eight Kings, the greatest masters of the Central Plains, was coming to an end, and Qingyi, who rose to fame like a comet, and even Cheonma, who rose to fame, appeared.
It seemed like an intermediate process where one by one, Hyun-kyung and Hwa-kyung appeared, and others were inspired by their appearance and devoted themselves to training to reach high power.
But it’s not like Hyun-kyung is just a tactic, and just because Hyun-kyung appears, do you think that masters who have completely transformed themselves will appear one after another and surpass the realms above?
So for the time being, the best swordsman among Black Sword, White Sword, and Central Plains Sae-oe is Cheon-ma.
Since he was the strongest in the world, there was no way he could lose.
Even if Cheong-i were to be inspired by Cheonma and practice hard to reach the realm of the underworld, Cheonma’s superiority, having already reached the realm of the underworld first, would not change, so it was thought that she would never lose for the time being.
No matter how many top-tier players there are, they are nothing more than mere slaughter in front of the Heavenly Horse.
He answered Cheonma’s question.
“Of course, he has a level of martial arts prowess that is worthy of being called the best in the world. If my wife were to enter the next realm, I don’t know how she would be a match for him, but it wouldn’t be easy either···.”
Then, Cheonma’s eyes widened at my answer, and after a while, he shook his shoulders and laughed loudly, throwing his head back.
The most intense reaction I’ve ever seen from Cheonma.
“The best in the world… Ahahahahaha. I laugh so many times because of you. I never thought you, a person from the Central Plains, would say something like that. It’s even more fun when you don’t suspect me of thinking that way. Yes, yes, there must be at least six masters like me to equal me.”
Cheonma, who had been laughing happily for a long time, pointed to Cheong-i with his chin and said.
“But your wife will be upset by what you said.”
Cheonma seemed to think that Cheong-i would be upset by what I said.
The question was whether he would be upset if he was the best in the world but lost his title when Cheonma appeared.
However, Cheong-i was a child who didn’t place much importance on things like the level of martial arts or being the best in the world.
He shook his head and answered Cheonma’s question.
“My wife doesn’t really care about the highs and lows of martial arts, and she’s more interested in having children with me and living an ordinary, happy life, so she won’t mind.”
After finishing my answer, I looked at Cheong-i, who smiled at me.
-Knock knock.
As soon as I finished answering, Cheonma knocked on the tray in front of him again.
And after a while he said in a reluctant tone.
“I was told that I would be granted any wish, but I have to hide my identity. Hmm… Only the weak lie or deceive others….”
It seems like he feels uncomfortable with having to lie about his strong identity.
He said, shaking his head.
“No. It’s deceiving others.”
“No? You’re clearly asking me to pretend to be your aunt, right? What do you mean?”
It’s clear that he’s hiding his identity and deceiving others, but he looks like he doesn’t understand when I say that he’s not deceiving others.
He winked at the question and said,
“Haha. It’s not just about deceiving others. If I had to say, would it be deceiving yourself?
If Heavenly Demon wishes, I will truly serve you as I would my aunt while you are here. Not just in words, but in my heart as well.
Also, my wives will be treated like aunts. It’s a kind of play, you know? You really become a different person. Just for this moment.”
The boredom and lethargy of the original worldview absolutes follow them around like accessories.
Well, since the absolute beings naturally live long lives, it’s an additional setting that comes with that. I don’t know about Cheonma because he’s not that old yet, but if it’s a setting similar to Cheonma in other worlds, it’s a dragon, no matter what anyone says.
When he mentioned the word “dazzling play” that such dragoons were talking about, Cheonma’s eyes sparkled slightly.
“Do you fool yourself and become a completely different person just for this moment?”
“yes.”
‘Do you look interested?’
The fingers that were tapping the plate had already stopped.
Cheonma replied that he had come halfway as I intended.
“Let’s say it’s you and me, but can other people do the same?”
Of course I can do it, but the question is, can other kids really do it?
In response to that question, I called my mother and Young-young over to us.
“You may be worried about that. But you don’t have to worry. Your wives will do well. Well, there is one person I am worried about, but that can be taken care of now. Mother? Young-young? Could you come over for a moment?”
Young-young and her mother blink at the sudden call.
“Me, me?”
“Me? Where are you going?”
When the two of them came near me, I asked them.
“Have you both listened to my story until the end? Both of you?”
“That, that’s right, Cheongun.”
“Yes, go.”
“Are you sure?”
“Well, well, your mother once practiced with Cheongun to be your mother…”
As my mother said, she has experience as an actress.
I wasn’t worried because she was the one who played the role of the mother in our house.
But, a voice of embarrassment was heard from Young-young’s mouth.
“I, I’m not confident. Gaga. I’m not good at this kind of thing. I’m sure they’ll get caught because of me.”
The answer I expected and waited for.
Because Young-young was a child who had already shown her acting skills in similar situations several times.
“Don’t worry, Young-young. Your mother will help you.”
“I?”
“Your mother?”
He spoke to the two who opened their eyes wide.
“Mother, is it possible to use a soul-binding spell on Yeong-yeong and make her think of Cheon-ma as her aunt?”
At those words, Cheonma, his mother, Yeongyeong, and everyone gathered here opened their eyes wide as if they had been struck by lightning.
Because it was a way to perform perfectly.
