Episode 576: Table

What decision will Cheonma make?

Should we end this game like this? Or should we trust me a little more?

The gaze of Cheonma, who had been staring straight at me without any answer as to what to do, was still the same.

Judging from the fact that Aunt asked if it was the end, it seemed like Cheonma was a little disappointed.

With hope in my heart, I looked straight into the eyes of the Heavenly Horse.

I am saying this with all my heart, thinking that this wonderful man, Ryu Cheong-un, is a man you can trust.

‘Let’s trust him just once.’

The eyes of the Heavenly Horse, clearly golden, are red and sparkling, perhaps because they are exposed to the light of the setting sun or because they are bloodshot.

If it were a wife, I could guess what they were thinking, but I couldn’t tell what emotion Cheonma was looking at.

That’s why it was a very tense moment.

-Gulp.

Now, when the red sunset, a famous landmark of Bokju, left only its tail behind her head, Cheonma’s hand, which had been slowly raised, went to the back of her head.

-Slurp.

And then, there was the sound of a hair tie being untied, and in the gust of wind, the horse’s blond hair, with its red sunset glow, swayed and flew towards me.

After a while, something fluttered between me and the Cheonma who was looking straight into my eyes.

The gray hair band of Cheonma, which was so old and worn out in places that it had lost all of its original color, was swaying delicately between me and Cheonma.

A careless word, like the wind blowing from somewhere and shaking the hair of a thousand horses.

“Can you believe it?”

Maybe it’s a feeling of determination to continue playing and trust me a little more.

He answered Cheonma’s question with a lottery.

“I will never disappoint you, Heavenly King.”

Then, Ok So-gyo, who had been watching from the side of Cheonma, quickly stepped forward and spoke.

“If it is so precious, then it is only natural that I, I should have the honor to serve it… Keuheuk….”

Okso Bridge, which got stuck in the sand after stepping out for no reason.

He spoke without taking his eyes off me, without even looking at the Okso Bridge, which was struggling as Cheonma dug deeper and deeper into the sand.

“Put it in yourself, not someone else.”

“Of course you should.”

When I nodded at her words, she said something unusually for a celestial being.

“Be careful.”

As I silently held out my hand and opened my palm, Cheonma’s hand carefully placed itself over mine.

And just in case the hair tie would blow away in the wind, Cheonma pushed the tie into my hand with force.

-pop!

As if worried, Cheonma stretched out one hand towards the direction the wind was blowing, and the blowing wind scattered away.

Taking advantage of the moment when the wind died down, I carefully pushed the hair tie I had received from Cheonma into my new hair tie.

The silk string, which has been worn down to the point of becoming brittle, now feels like it doesn’t have much life left.

There were even traces of thread here and there in the middle, perhaps due to the workmanship of Cheonma.

After a while, when Cheonma’s old hair tie disappeared into the golden silk hair tie, he explained to Cheonma.

Because I couldn’t finish everything here and now.

Because the entrance had to be blocked and it had to be secured so that it wouldn’t move inside.

“I don’t have a needle right now, so I’ll leave it like this for now. I’ll go back to the spot and sew it up with a needle and thread.”

“Can you do that yourself?”

“Of course. As a chef, I have to sew up the stomachs of chickens and ducks, so I can do that too.”

“Good.”

Cheonma’s answer was satisfactory.

As I held out the temporarily completed hair tie towards Cheonma, Cheonma shook her head like a woman in a shampoo commercial and tied her hair tightly with a silk ribbon.

Now I feel at ease.

‘I don’t think that’ll cause any problems for the time being, right?’

If Cheonma’s hair tie had continued to be worn out, something could have definitely happened.

That would be the case, as the silk string tied to her originally black hair clearly reveals its presence.

It stands out among the black hair, shining with a different color.

But Cheonma’s old hair tie stood out for another reason.

With her blonde hair and old ponytail tied between them, people’s eyes can’t help but be drawn to her.

In that sense, it was understandable why Yeong-yeong tried to change Cheon-ma’s hair tie.

I too was wondering why Cheonma was wearing fancy clothes but an old hair tie.

But now the hair tie had been replaced with a golden silk hair tie similar to the color of the Heavenly Horse’s hair, so the hair tie would not be noticeable.

So, that means the sealing of the reverse scale has been completed successfully.

He spoke to Cheonma, relieved that he had successfully sealed Cheonma’s reverse scale.

“Today, Aunt Cheonhwa came to the beach to see my wives and the author and watch the sunset, and nothing else happened. I discipline my wives.”

“i get it.”

After confirming that Cheonma was sitting on the sandy beach again and that Okso-gyo was saved from being buried alive by his mother and Cho-bin, he called together all of his wives, Bi-yeon, and Ok-ryeong who were still on guard.

And then he apologized again.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance.”

But what I hear is not criticism or regret, but a question.

The wives, Biyeon, and Okryung repeatedly confirmed that Cheonma was real.

Honestly, the apple isn’t the issue right now.

“Teacher, is that Aunt Cheonhwa, or is that woman really Cheonma? Is that true?”

“Eun-gong, is that person really Cheonma? Why is Cheonma here in Bokju?”

“Really Cheonma? Really Unrang?”

“Gaga, is it really a heavenly horse?”

“What the hell is this…. Isn’t that right, Cheongun-nim? Isn’t that right?”

“Brother···.”

He nodded his head and answered the questions of his wives, Biyeon, and Okryung.

“Yes. That’s the woman who ascended the heavenly horse at a young age that I heard about through Chobin. She came with my mother, so I invited her as a guest to our wedding.”

“Three, my goodness···.”

“Wife, Cheonma···.”

“What are you going to do? Gaga!”

The wives glanced at Cheonma with surprised eyes at my answer.

He had to explain in detail to the four people (excluding Cheong-i and Mimi), as well as Bi-yeon and Ok-ryeong, how Cheon-ma had come to visit and why this situation had come to be.

“therefore······.”

“You came to Bokju because you were curious about Eun-gong?”

“If only I had made a vow of immortality, I would feel a little more at ease…”

“······That’s why it’s like this. So I would like everyone to help me with this game.”

After thoroughly explaining the current situation and the immortal oath, he asked for help. The wives, Biyeon, and Okryung all looked towards Cheonma.

Sister Maeng-hee glanced at Cheon-ma, then grabbed her chin, tilted her head, and spoke.

“No, but it’s different from what I imagined?”

“Are you imagining things? Sister Maeng-hee?”

Sister Maeng-hee says something is different from what she imagined.

As everyone’s attention focused on Maenghee’s words, she nodded and explained.

“I thought he was the ruthless leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but now that I look at him, he’s just an ordinary person who treasures even an old hair tie. Well, he’s a little harsh, but…”

“Ah… That’s true. But what was that old hair tie that Unnie Maenghee had?”

“If you treasure it so much, isn’t it someone’s heirloom? Poor thing.”

“Relics···.”

Judging from the atmosphere, it feels like the intimacy increases a bit because Cheonma treasures the old hair tie.

I quickly got out and roughly told the story of the blond horse that I knew, twisting it.

“Isn’t the Ten Thousand Great Mountains where the Shingyo is located connected to the Western Regions? Since it is a place where Western merchants also come and go to buy silk, it is highly likely that Cheonma is of the bloodline of one of those Western merchants.

But why is Cheonma separated from his parents and in a new religion without a name?

The Silk Road is a place where many thieves appear. It is clear that he lost his parents to thieves and was saved by the new religion.

And if you think about it, there’s a good chance that old silk string is my parents’ last keepsake.”

“ah···.”

“Oh… That could be the case.”

As soon as I finished my wonderful explanation, Garyeon clenched her fists and spoke with tears in her eyes.

“I will do as you say, teacher. If that is really the reason, then it is not like someone else’s business.”

It seemed that Garyeon’s heart was first moved by the thought that perhaps someone had gone through something similar to her.

Even though he is not a thief, he seems to feel sympathy for the poor child who lost his parents to thieves.

Well, Cheong-i and Mimi decided to cooperate from the beginning, and Yeong-yeong found out that Aunt Cheon-hwa was Cheon-ma, but it seems like their closeness still remains.

Maeng-hee nodded at Yeong-yeong’s words, saying that it would be fun.

“What’s more, you say that Cheonma even made a promise of immortality?

If you just want to attend a wedding, watch, eat something delicious, and then go back, wouldn’t it be okay to do something like this?

“You mean, somehow you think of me as Cheong?”

“Well, I think it would be fun. Aunt Cheonma?”

So, contrary to their initial concerns, most of the wives decided to join in on the fun.

There were safety measures in place and the human side of Cheonma was highlighted, so do you think people would accept it easily?

That was when.

Biyeon, who had been watching from the side, spoke with a worried expression, wondering if the opinions had turned out to be the opposite of what she had expected.

And Okryung also expressed her concern about this situation.

“But, you’re the Heavenly Demon, right!? If by any chance you get caught by other people in the Central Plains martial arts world···”

“I don’t think it’s something that can be decided so easily, sisters.”

Since they both work in the information and intelligence field, it seemed like they were very worried, but they were worried about this decision and the current situation, and they didn’t understand it, but what could they do?

There was no way we could not do this anyway.

“Then the only way is to introduce Cheonma to the craftsmen again as Cheonma, and introduce Cheonma’s identity to the guests coming from all over the Central Plains, or tell Cheonma to go back now. Is there any other way? This is the best way.”

Biyeon and Okryeong’s eyes widened at my words.

I feel like I’m finally facing the situation.

There is some hope that we can end things safely if we keep our mouths shut and continue acting, but the two methods I mentioned are completely hopeless.

“But Cheongun-nim. How can you treat me as your aunt without any concern after something like this?”

“That’s right, brother.”

“Oh, I’m a little worried about that too. I’m not good at that kind of thing.”

Biyeon and Okryung smiled at their mother, who was looking at us from next to Cheonma, worried about Yeongyeong.

“mother?”

“Yes, Cheongun-ah.”

“Can I also go to that marriage training group?”

“organization?”

What if I’m worried?

All that’s needed is to raise the potential of everyone who is worried from being an ordinary person to an actor.

‘Everyone just has to become a Hollywood actor.’

After a while, Mother smiled and spoke in front of Biyeon, Okryeong, Yeongyeong, Ga-ryeon, and Soso.

“Okay, it’s not scary. Everyone becomes happy when they look into my eyes···.”

And when the sobriquet was over, the wives, who had been dazed for a moment, came to their senses and looked at each other and said.

“Huh? What? Why were we doing this?”

“Your mother came and said hello, Young-young. And after that, we watched the sunset together.”

“I think I lost my mind while watching the sunset. Sister Young-young.”

“Oh, that’s right. Aunt Cheonhwa! Since we’re here, let’s at least dip our feet in the water! The sun is going down now.”

“I’ll help you too. Sister Young-young. Let’s go, Aunt!”

The awkward atmosphere between Maeng-hee and Cheong-i, who had not been using the magic of seduction, changed naturally in an instant.

Yeong-yeong and Ga-ryeon grabbed Cheon-ma’s arms and dragged him to the water’s edge just like before, and So-so, Cheong-i, and Maeng-hee followed behind them, smiling.

Mimi leaned her head on my shoulder next to me, perhaps still feeling scared from earlier.

Soso approached me while picking up seashells with Biyeon and Okryeong, and smiled when we made eye contact.

If you know the inside story, it’s a kind of staged appearance, but on the outside, it looks very peaceful.

Somehow, right now, this situation felt very natural.

‘I hope it will be peaceful until the end.’

And at that moment, my vision began to blur strangely.

‘what?’

Rubbing my eyes, I realized that it was because I hadn’t removed the pollen this week.

He stretched out his arm towards Chobin and fell face down on the sand.

-dump.
