Episode 77

“I’m late in introducing myself. I’m Yalu Huan, the White Wolf Lord of the Northern Sea Ice Palace. I heard a lot about the activities of the Beast Palace while I was here.”

“I am the manager of Namcheon Damdong.”

“Is the Beast King at peace? I still remember the flames that used to come out of his fists. Haha.”

I heard that there was a time several decades ago when the Beast Palace and the North Sea Ice Palace interacted with each other.

Now that you’re old enough to have white hair, you probably remember the Beast King from your youth.

“Still the same. In fact, I was waiting for the arrival of the Bukhae Ice Palace without leaving the Murim Alliance. I have something to tell you.”

“Oh, thank you. I was worried we wouldn’t see anyone since we arrived late. So, what’s the story?”

“It’s something related to the Cheon-eum-Bing-Baek-Sing-Gong.”

In that moment, Yal Yuhwan’s face hardened like ice.

The martial arts book that Bukhae Ice Palace had been searching for for a long time.

It’s in my arms now.

A secret weapon obtained by killing the Seven Blood Demon Sword Gilpiljong.

“Ah, no. How about that… … . Do you happen to know where it is?”

The Beast Palace was not the only Saewoo sect that was swept up in the Jeongma War a hundred years ago.

The Bukhae Ice Palace, which had joined forces with the Murim Alliance, was also unable to avoid the advance of the Demonic Cult.

One of the martial arts books that was lost at that time was the Cheonum Bingbaek Shingong.

I don’t know why the martial arts book that fell into the hands of the Demonic Cult was in the hands of the elder of the Gwieummun, one of the twelve apostles.

Instead of saying that I had it, I just nodded.

At the same time, tears welled up in the eyes of the veteran who had lived for nearly a hundred years.

“Ah, heaven help you. If the young lady’s pulse is cured, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the greatest credit goes to you.”

Treatment for arrhythmia?

Ah, now I get it.

Although Cheon-eum-Bing-Baek-Sing-Gong is an incredible martial art, it has the disadvantage of being a martial art that only women can learn.

And in the Bukhae Ice Palace, there is a world-class technique called the Ice White God Palm.

Nevertheless, I was curious as to why he was so desperately searching for the Cheonum Bingbaek Shingong.

“Do you plan on using it to heal the veins of the Little Princess in the North Sea Ice Palace?”

Nine-point vein blockage is an incurable disease in which too much yin energy blocks nine blood vessels.

Cheon-eum-bing-baek-singong is a method of controlling women’s yin energy, so I guess they are trying to find a clue in that.

“That would be great, but… … .”

Yal Yuhwan’s expression darkened.

They probably won’t cure it, but they’ll probably try to slow down the symptoms somehow.

Because a complete cure for the palatine stenosis is impossible.

“It will probably be difficult.”

This is certain, as it is the words of someone who experienced a stroke in a past life.

Because I, too, have tried every possible treatment for the yin-yang meridian.

No matter what method was used, the result was nothing but a slowdown.

His white eyebrows twitched at my firm words.

But he knows too.

“That’s right… … But can’t we delay it? Regardless of the outcome, if you can just find that secret, the North Sea Ice Palace will give you a big reward.”

He spoke with a stern face but a serious voice.

An expression that showed no interest in what reason I had it.

I nodded quietly toward him and said.

“No need. It just goes back to where it belongs and to the people who need it most.”

Originally, I was planning to return the Cheon-eum-Bing-Baek-Sing-Gong in exchange for the opportunity to find the power of the Black Dragon, which was located somewhere in the North Sea Ice Palace.

But the moment I saw the earnest eyes of this old man with white hair, I decided to give it back without asking for anything in return.

A warrior of the Beast Palace is not someone who moves around in pursuit of profit while thinking about this and that.

It’s not the path to becoming a king.

“Instead, tell her to come get it herself.”

Regardless of whether you give something for free or not, you deserve to hear the words “thank you.”

I hate people who are stingy with saying thank you and sorry.

You have to have the right attitude to get help.

And maybe, with just my power, I can alleviate her condition.

It must be a great coincidence for her.

If you’re thinking of telling people to come and go with just one word, I’m sorry, but I have no intention of helping you.

* * *

“Coolook, coolook.”

I came with good news, but all I got in return was a cough.

However, I found the whereabouts of the Cheonum Bingbaek Shingong that I had been searching for so long.

Maybe we can slow down the progression of that child’s illness.

It may be difficult to achieve complete cure, though.

“What did you say?”

Seol Seol-rin’s voice was filled with irritation as she stopped coughing.

“Oh, I’m not just telling you to come. I know the whereabouts of the Cheon-eum-Bing-Baek-Sing-Gong. It’s a secret weapon that the palace has been searching for for a long time. It might even be able to slow down the progress of the Nine-Eight-Shot Pulse… .”

Yul-Hwan’s expression looked extremely happy.

Although we do not share a single drop of blood, she is like his own granddaughter.

He was the one who always stayed by her side in place of his mother who passed away without ever seeing the face of the daughter she gave birth to, and his father who was leading the great power called Bukhae Ice Palace.

The day he took his first steps, the moment he called himself father.

Everything seems vivid as if it happened just yesterday.

What a curse it is for a child like that to have a slurred speech.

When I first heard the news, it felt like the sky was falling.

How could I not be happy when I found a miracle cure that might delay my imminent death?

“Go back and tell him to come back. How dare he come and go.”

“No. Of course, you should go. It is natural that the one who wants something should go.”

“Ah! I said no. It’s impossible to do that with such a low level of emergency. And you’re a savage, right? If you invite me from the North Sea Ice Palace, I’ll come running and bow my head… … .”

“But you are the only one who knows the whereabouts of the emergency kit. Naturally, we should show our sincerity first… … .”

“Ah! I don’t like it. Some kind of barbarian from the south… … .”

“Miss, please.”

“Even if I interpret the emergency and delay the end of my life, it will only last a few years. I have no regrets about the rest of my life. I will just live as I please and then die. I will never bow my head to such a barbarian and ask for anything, even if I die.”

In that moment, a huge mountain-like energy burst out from Baekrangdaeju Yalulhwan’s entire body.

bang!

The table he had slammed down froze white and shattered into pieces.

And his angry voice echoed throughout the hall.

Like an avalanche covering the world.

“Seol Seol-rin!”

For a moment, her ears became deaf.

The vast space froze like ice in an instant.

Since he started walking, Yalulhwan Daeju had never once called his name.

Seol Seol-rin’s eyes, covered by a cotton swab, grew wide at the unexpected situation.

“Ah, no. Right now… … .”

It was Yal Yu-hwan who never went against his will, no matter when or where.

But why is this anger directed at myself?

“This, this… … This foolish guy. You have to live, don’t you?”

The voice of the veteran who had always stood tall in the face of any enemy was trembling.

He who had never once raised his voice at himself.

White frost was forming on his clenched fists as if he was trying to suppress his anger.

“Shouldn’t we live? Shouldn’t we live somehow… … .”

“… … .”

“I was ready to kneel before him. But the child of the Beast Palace did not want any reward from me.”

The master of the White Wolf Sword, Yelühwan, is the best swordsman in the palace, excluding the princess.

He is also a veteran who has been fighting for the North Sea Ice Palace for decades.

It means that there is no need to bow your head to anyone except your father.

“The Lord of the White Wolf is kneeling before a barbarian from the South… …?”

The warriors of the North Sea Ice Palace guarding the place outside sensed Yelühwan’s energy and rushed in.

But Yul-Hwan’s trembling voice continued.

“Would it be just my knees? If he asked me to give him one arm, I would laugh and cut off my right arm. If he wanted my life, I would gladly… … .”

“stop…….”

Seol Seol-rin looked at Yul-hwan through the cotton swab.

A veteran who has been by your side, not on the battlefield.

Hair that had suddenly turned white like snow.

Tears flowing from his eyes.

“Stop it.”

I know very well the meaning of the tears he sheds.

Why wouldn’t you want to live as yourself?

But there was no method that I hadn’t tried during that time.

I didn’t want to live my remaining life struggling.

“… … I’ll go.”

I just thought he was feeling sorry for himself for giving up his day to die.

I didn’t know he was this desperate.

Maybe I was the only one who gave up… … .

Bam.

The sound of tears in Seol Seol-rin’s eyes falling to the floor.

Become ice like a shining jewel.

* * *

The Beast Palace’s abode.

“So you told her to come to you herself? Are you crazy?”

Umochi asked with a dumbfounded expression.

“If you want to receive emergency treatment, shouldn’t the person in question come forward?”

“No, isn’t that the woman called Seoljunghwa (雪中花)? No one has ever seen her face, but everyone calls her the most beautiful woman in the North Sea. How dare you ask such a woman to come… ?”

“I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while now, but how can you be so sure that she is the most beautiful woman in the North Sea when no one has ever seen her face?”

Umochi was dumbfounded and couldn’t answer, as if he had hit the nail on the head.

“Of course she was beautiful. Her mother, who is no longer in this world, was also said to be a unique beauty. So of course, she too… … .”

So in the end, it’s just a guess.

“Umochi, in the world… … there are many daughters who resemble their fathers.”

Dignified and courageous daughters.

Enough to make me want to hold you in my arms.

“… … .”

Instead of Umochi, who was at a loss for words, I asked Nok Seungseo.

“How long would it take for Songgol to go to Namman and back?”

“Hmm. I don’t know about that. But it’s incomparably faster than when we use light air.”

Actually, I still don’t know if that spirit will find its way to Namcheon Damdong.

However, Nok Seung-seo was confident that Song-gol had chosen him.

Unlike tofu, it has already completed awakening.

If that blue falcon safely returns to Namcheon Damdong with news, it will be a great help to us.

This means that you can exchange messages with the Beast Palace from anywhere in the world.

“Why are you worried that something might have happened in Namcheon Damdong while you were away?”

“That can’t be. If all the demonic bastards crouching on the Ten Thousand-Year Mountain don’t come down, then there’s nothing to worry about.”

It is a place where a group of ragtag warriors gather and play a game of moving a rock as big as a house.

How could such a person be worried about Namcheon Damdong?

“Then I guess you miss home.”

Nok Seung-seo spoke with a smile.

I miss home… … .

I guess so.

Even more so after seeing the true colors of those political bastards who claim to follow justice and harmony.

Wouldn’t it be more honest for a beast to follow someone stronger than themselves?

“That hawk… … . Did you give it a name?”

Nok Seung-seo made a face of regret.

“Ah, that’s my first time with a spirit.”

Originally, it was the first time for everyone to see a spirit.

It is an incredible fortune that is only given to a select few warriors.

“Take your time and come up with a cool name. Something like tofu.”

I looked at the tofu wriggling in my arms.

Now that I say it, I don’t think it’s a very cool name.

What do you think?

What other name would suit this cute appearance as well?

By the way, is our tofu also going to experience something like awakening?

If I awaken, will I lose my current cuteness and become a ferocious beast?

In that case, it would be better to never awaken again.

It was a long time since I played with tofu.

A voice was heard from outside the residence, announcing someone’s visit.

“This is Yelühwan of the North Sea Ice Palace. I have brought the young lady with me.”

It’s finally time to meet the only daughter of the Northern Ice Palace Lord.

“The young lady would like to meet you alone. Is that possible?”
