Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 78

Episode 78

I faced her.

Nine Yin Disorders is a congenital disease.

The meridians are cut off here and there, so internal energy cannot circulate smoothly, and the yin energy constantly expands, suppressing the yang energy in the body.

It is natural that the harmony of yin and yang is broken, so a short life cannot be avoided.

“Coolook, coolook.”

Six coughs in less than half an hour.

Judging from the irregular breathing and slight shaking of his hands, it seems that the pulse has progressed quite a bit.

The face hidden behind that cotton veil would probably be as pale as ice.

It turns out that the rumors that there would be about three years left weren’t just empty words…

It will soon become difficult to move.

The frequency of seizures will also increase.

“Did you enjoy your time sightseeing in Jungwon while you were here?”

Seol Seo-rin, who had been silent for a while, let out a deep sigh.

“Phew… … .”

Judging from the way he clenched his fists, he seemed angry at my tone.

I’ve only heard this informal speech a few times in my life from a savage I’m meeting for the first time today.

But what can we do?

I am a savage with no manners.

“The White Horse Temple in Luoyang was a beautiful sight.”

Luoyang once had more than a thousand temples, of which Baekmasa Temple was the best.

The area in front of the prose is always bustling with visitors from all over the central plains.

It means that it is not a suitable place for the daughter of the Lord of the Northern Sea Ice Palace, who secretly visited the Central Plains.

Perhaps you wanted to make a wish that you desperately wanted.

“As you know, the palatine veins cannot be completely cured.”

“… … I know.”

Maybe I’m the first person to tell you this.

Everyone around me who couldn’t let go of their foolishness must have said the same thing.

There is such a thing as a miracle, so never give up.

Sometimes the cold truth is more comforting than those warm lies.

“Maybe this remedy can slow down the progression of the disease.”

He gave her the Cheon-eum-Bing-Baek-Sing-Gong.

I thought he would take it quickly, but he didn’t even reach out.

Instead, he asked me the question first.

“I heard you came from the Namman Beast Palace. What is it like there?”

“Well, Namman… … it’s hot.”

“Then it won’t snow.”

“It rains instead of snowing. The rainy season is from May to October. Sometimes it pours so hard that you can’t see in front of you.”

“Aha. It’s definitely different from the North Sea. I’ve heard that there are many different kinds of spirits. I’ve heard that there are tigers as big as houses, and snakes with horns on their heads. Do spirits like that really exist?”

“I happen to have the best spirit in the South. Would you like to meet him?”

He took the tofu out of his arms and placed it on the floor.

Gyarrrrr.

Tofu is a spiritual food.

A spirit that senses and reacts to the energy of others.

I couldn’t approach Seol Seol-rin because of the terrible yin aura I felt, and I just tilted my head.

I felt that her condition was not normal.

“Gyaaaaaaah!”

Seol Seol-rin’s scream.

bang!

Yul-Hwan, who had been waiting outside, kicked open the door and came in, looked at her and Tofu alternately, and then quietly went out.

“Oh, no. What is this? There’s such a cute kitten in the world… … .”

“It’s not a cat, it’s a dark cloud sign. It lives only on the peak of Namman Manrimsan Mountain, and it’s so ferocious that even wild beasts avoid it… … .”

Who am I talking to now?

Seol Seol-rin knelt down and made eye contact with Tofu as if she couldn’t hear what I was saying.

Cheers bursting out of my mouth without end.

“Wow. So cute!”

He should have reached out to the tofu wriggling in front of him, but instead, he had both hands behind his back.

It seems that he is afraid that his icy coldness might surprise Tofu.

“You can touch it.”

This is the guy who shared the Millennium Doll Seol-sam that he got from Mongyeongshintu Du-mun-rang with me.

Even though it was just a single strand of hair, it was longer than a tofu.

Although it is not as impervious to cold as the Han Dynasty, it is impervious to moderate cold or heat.

“Really?”

Only after asking my permission did he extend one of his index fingers and pat Tofu’s head.

The guy rubbed his head, as if he didn’t mind the cool sensation.

He quietly watched as Seol Seorin, the only daughter of the King of the North Sea Ice Palace, played with tofu.

This woman, who had hidden her face in a cotton swab and was leisurely viewing the Baekmasa Temple in Luoyang, had already accepted her fate.

Soon, an unbearable cold will fill him, his whole body will stiffen, and he will die.

Me in my previous life, struggling desperately to survive.

And this woman calmly accepted her fate.

Which of the two made the right decision?

There is no correct answer.

My conclusion is that we should try what we can.

“Did you say your name was Seol Seol-rin?”

Seol Seo-rin, who had been playing with tofu by putting her finger in and out of its mouth for a while, got up.

To put your finger into the mouth of a beast that can instantly sever the windpipe of a wild boar as big as a house.

“… … Yes.”

Even though an uncivilized savage called his name, he didn’t seem angry.

As expected, women are infinitely more generous in front of cute animals.

He said this while holding out the Cheon-eum-Bing-Baek-Sing-Gong he was holding in his hand.

“This secret originally belonged to the North Sea Ice Palace, so it is right to go to where it belongs. However, this will not be enough to delay your demise.”

“I think so too, but there are still people who can’t let go of their foolishness. Like the white tiger standing outside the door.”

Maybe it’s just a needless expectation.

Still, there was a method I wanted to try at least once.

“Do you trust me?”

I felt her two eyes, hidden behind the cotton, turn to my face.

“How can I trust a barbarian from the South who I met for the first time today? But at least he won’t hit me in the back of the head.”

“That’s enough. Give me your hand.”

A momentary flowing silence.

“It might be hard to endure the hot fire. If you can’t stand it and scream, Baekrangdaeju, who is waiting outside, might come running and freeze you with his Ice Baekshinkong. However, I might be able to slow down your pulse a little. What do you think? Do you want to endure it once?”

He rolled up one sleeve and drew up the energy of the Red Dragon.

The dragon imprint on his shoulder turned red.

The heat that instantly filled the room.

Seol Seo-rin’s expression as she watched the scene was mysterious.

After staring at my outstretched hand for a while, she opened her mouth and turned toward the door.

“Your Majesty, please send all the palace guards away. No matter what happens, do not come inside.”

And then he quietly held out his right hand.

I don’t know if he wanted to slow down the progression of the apoplexy, or if he was curious about the red dragon’s energy that was turning his hands red.

What is certain is that this woman trusts me now.

Me, the warrior of the Beast Palace whom you met for the first time today.

I gently grabbed the pale, white hand that was radiating a cool chill.

I lock eyes with her as she looks at me from behind the cotton swab.

* * *

The Battle of Mengju.

Jegal So-hye sat down facing the leader.

The Yongbong branch meeting has already ended.

The young warriors who were receiving attention from the Murim Alliance were all defeated by one young warrior from the Beast Palace.

Habukpengga’s Pengjaho was knocked out by one punch from Dammyeong.

The head of the Tang family, Dang Wi-myeong, was caught using poison on an opponent on a stage set up in the middle of the Murim Alliance.

What’s surprising is that he lost the duel despite using Tangga’s poison.

In any case, because of that incident, one of the members of the pharmacy with the last name Dang was locked up in a brain prison, and the Meng sent a formal letter of protest to the Sacheon Dang family.

Lastly, Baek Mu-gyeom, the head of Baek Family, known as the best in the world.

He, who everyone predicted would win the martial arts competition, also lost to Damyeong of the Namman Beast Palace.

Even though I brought out the strength that I had been hiding all this time.

In a way, the Yongbongjihoe ended in chaos.

He was at the center of it all.

The name of the Southern Wild Beast Palace.

“Why did you call me? I was just preparing to return to my family home.”

The reason she didn’t go back even after the Yongbong branch meeting was because of Dammyeong.

Curiosity about him.

But I can’t stay here forever.

“There’s no need to go back. I’ve finished talking with Zhuge Liang.”

“What are you talking about… … .”

“You need to help me out here for a while.”

Her eyes widened at the leader’s sudden words.

It is a martial arts alliance where many talented people from all walks of life gather.

But the leader himself asked for help.

“With my abilities, how can I… … . Please reconsider.”

“In name only, I will belong to the Segahoe. Akyung will also stay with me.”

The Segahoe is a gathering of warriors sent to the alliance by various Sega affiliated groups.

It is mainly occupied by elders who have retired from the front lines.

He said that he would let his granddaughter, Mo Yong-ah-kyung, who he would never mind putting in his eyes, stay in the Se-ga-hoe.

It means that he will add the power of his own family, the Muryong Family, to the power of the Murim Alliance.

In other words, it also means that there are now only a few families left that the leader can trust.

“And I will give you the Hyeonwol Team, so you can move independently.”

Hyunwol-dae is one of the royal guards that only listens to the leader’s orders.

There is only one meaning to sticking them together.

‘I guess that means it’s going to be that dangerous… … .’

Murim leader Murongcheon.

He is already over eighty years old.

Now, he is old enough to step down from his position with applause and return to the Mo Yong family.

But he is reaching out to his much younger self.

Let’s fight together.

How could one refuse the hand of this veteran who has fought for peace in the Central Plains all his life?

Moreover, my father, the owner of the house, also gave his permission.

It means that there are things that only you can do.

“… … Okay. What should I do first?”

“As you know, there is no place in this Central Plains that Eunrim’s hand has not reached. Not only Jeong and Sapa, but he may have joined hands with them as well.”

“If it’s that place… … .”

The leader nodded quietly.

There is only one place in the world that the leader of the martial arts world, the pinnacle of the martial arts world, cannot bring himself to mention.

A demonic sect that has been crouching in the Shimandaesan Mountains for over a hundred years.

“Like water seeping into paper, you’ve taken over the entire Central Plains. Now you can’t even tell who’s your friend or your enemy.”

The leader let out a big sigh.

“First, you need to increase your power. Since the North Sea Ice Palace already has a good relationship, you only need to worry about one place. It’s not a place you can call a friend yet, but it’s definitely not an enemy.”

“Namman Beast Palace… … .”

“It will probably play a very important role in the coming war. Especially… … .”

Both of them thought of the same person at the same time.

The name of the Southern Wild Beast Palace… … .

“Try to get him on our side. It could be one of your own.”

* * *

“My person… … .”

As I was leaving the battlefield, I muttered to myself without realizing it.

It was a word that made my face burn for some reason.

Of course, that wasn’t what the leader meant.

I walked quickly towards the Beast Palace, lost in thought.

‘The Beast King… … .’

I agree with what the leader said.

That guy named Damyeong will definitely take the throne as the next Beast King.

It’s not just because of the dragon imprint on his shoulder.

There was something about him that couldn’t be explained in words.

‘That kind of energy that only those who reach the top can feel, like the destiny of a king… … .’

I was the one who made cool-headed decisions based only on reliable information.

I didn’t believe in things like intuition or fate that people talked about.

But after meeting this guy, everything feels like a mess.

“It’s strange… … .”

He shook his head and muttered without realizing it.

It was a cool-headed judgment that was considered superior to anyone else’s.

All the other men who attended the Yongbong branch meeting did as they pleased.

The desire to show off, the desire to put others under one’s feet.

Human behavior does not go beyond the scope of one’s desires.

But the big man from Namman never moved as expected.

Anyway, as the leader said, he will play an important role in the coming fight.

It’s a shame I couldn’t catch him, but I need to build enough relationships before I leave.

Because soon he’ll be able to move the entire Beast Palace.

A shabby beast palace located in the far corner of the Murim Alliance.

I heard that the hostess personally came forward and offered to change it several times, but he declined.

‘You should have brought him to a nicer place from the start. He must have been an uncivilized savage who was thrown into a place like this.’

In the distance, I saw strangers wearing white fur.

They were far away from the building and surrounded it.

Even spreading cold murderous intent in the middle of the Murim Alliance.

‘It’s the North Sea Ice Palace. But why are they here?’

Luckily, there were some familiar faces.

“Oh my, why did the precious daughter of the Zhuge family end up in such a shabby place…?”

Perhaps the interest name was Umochi.

Behind him was the taciturn man, Nok Seung-seo, who had defeated the Sagokjin of Jeomchang.

“Ah, I came here because the Lord had something to tell me. But why are the warriors of the North Sea Ice Palace here… … .”

“They are the only two people inside right now, and they told everyone to stay far away.”

“What are you doing… … .”

“Well, I don’t know. What secret thing are you doing that you want us to stay away from?”

“And just the two of you? Who are you?”

“Why isn’t that there? The only daughter of the Northern Sea Ice Palace Lord… … .”

As soon as Umochi answered, Jegal So-hye’s face hardened coldly.

And he opened his mouth urgently to address the unmanned people of the North Sea Ice Palace.

“I have a message from the leader of the martial arts world. It is an urgent matter that requires every second. I need to deliver it immediately, so I ask for the understanding of the guests of Bukhae Ice Palace.”

And without anyone being able to stop him, he headed into the palace.

Who could stop the leader of the martial arts alliance from delivering his message in the middle of the martial arts alliance?

Only Baekrangdaeju Yalulhwan followed her.

The curious Umochi also took advantage of the opportunity to follow along.

The moment the three people arrived at the door.

Seol Seol-rin’s voice was heard from across the door.

“Ah… … . I didn’t know it would be this good. This is how it feels.”

Her voice was hazy and languid.

“I can do it anytime while you’re here. Of course, if you want.”

“Ah! Now I feel truly alive. By the way, can I touch it one more time? It’s the first time I’ve ever felt something this big and hard.”

“All the men in the North Sea Ice Palace seem to be small. Feel free to touch them. They won’t wear out.”

The face of Jegal So-hye standing outside the door turned red.

His two tightly clenched fists were trembling.

“What, what is this… … .”

The expression on Yal Yuhwan’s face as he followed her was as frozen as ice.

A cold, enormous murderous aura that seemed like it would freeze the entire Murim Alliance emanated from his entire body.

“How can I… … something this big?”

“Even in the Beast Palace, I can say that mine is the biggest.”

Umochiman, who followed behind, opened his eyes wide and muttered.

“T, tsk… … . Dam-myeong, what the hell is this crazy kid doing in broad daylight… … .”

bang!

Umochi opened the door loudly on behalf of everyone.

And he shouted loudly.

“Hey, you crazy kid!”
