Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 98
Only Noblemtl
Because I am the Beast King. Episode 98
Kunming.
Although it is the most prosperous city in Yunnan, it is still only the southernmost part of the Central Plains.
It is called Chunseong (Spring City) because flowers bloom all year round.
For that reason, it is always crowded with people.
A place where there is no clear political party and dozens of black powers divide the land and rule.
Of course, there are complex webs of vested interests.
“Wow! There are so many people.”
Bang Yak-ran said in admiration.
Deoksam, who had only climbed Mt. Porang a few times at most, was constantly looking around.
You must know that you are living in luxury because you met a good owner.
A man who has been locked up in the South his entire life has come to the bustling city of the Central Plains.
“That guy probably has a part to play in the reason why there are so many people in this place, Gonming.”
Konming is also the place where he first met Umochi.
I don’t know for sure, but I wonder if the population of Kunming increased by a little bit because of the aphrodisiac that guy sold?
Bang Yak-ran tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what was being said, and Umochi’s face turned red.
Deoksam asked.
“But Lord Sodong, where are we going to stay now? Surely you didn’t come to the Central Plains without any plans?”
Just because you won the Yongbongjihoe and reserved the seat of Beast King, you shouldn’t let your guard down.
Because there’s always Deoksam who underestimates me and makes me nervous.
As I hesitated for a moment, Deoksam’s attack came right away.
“Ha. Nothing, nothing. Since you didn’t answer, I guess you’re not thinking about anything. What on earth were you thinking in bringing all these people here?”
“Shut up!”
Deoksam’s greatest talent is to speak nonchalantly and scratch the other person’s inner feelings.
If there is a force that you want to make your lifelong enemy, just put Deoksam at the forefront.
Then it’s war.
“Right now, I have some work to take care of. Once that’s done, I’ll probably have a nice manor.”
There was a guy I captured during the war.
A guy named Hwang Sam-dok who was in charge of a military role.
I went down to the basement of the Beast Palace with my uncle’s guidance and talked to a guy whose skin was half-peeled.
He was a kind guy, so he explained everything I asked him… … .
As expected, the Blood Cult came down to Namman under Eunrim’s orders.
Of course, their own greed may have come first.
And the background to being able to quietly move from Gansu Qilian Mountain to Nanman was also the Twelve Apostles.
The twelve largest factions among the four factions that divide the Central Plains.
Of course, that includes Salmak, the target of my personal revenge.
Of course, it’s difficult to deal with now.
So, we need to slowly build up from the bottom.
But someday it will all fall apart.
Even the silver lining hidden behind.
Its beginning is the Seven Star Room of Gonming.
Chilseongbang (Seven Star Room).
The Black Sword Faction created by Yang Zhongshan and his six brothers who followed him.
Although they were skilled, they were more famous for their cruelty.
Of course, to the warriors of the Beast Palace who skin people alive, this may seem like child’s play.
The Gold Club we dealt with before was a gathering of petty black thugs who were only after money.
Of course, there were no experts worth using.
Chilseongbang is different.
A true black magician who pursues power over money.
Of course, with the power he gained that way, he would have done all sorts of bad things.
Just then, a guest house called Bokmigak appeared a little distance away.
“The sun has set, so let’s unpack our bags at the inn you see over there. I have somewhere to go for a bit.”
* * *
Fortunately, there were hardly any guests, so we rented the entire floor.
As I was leaving the group that was unpacking their luggage behind and quietly leaving, Bang Yak-ran followed me.
“If you’re going to kill bad guys, I’ll go with you.”
What we’ve learned from this war is that this pretty lady is quite the belligerent.
It was a spectacular sight to see him wielding two swords and running among the blood demons, cutting off their heads.
“I just arrived in Kunming. Do you think I’m going to have an accident from the very first day?”
“Then where are you going?”
“There are bad black guys here who rule over the village called Chilseongbang. I’m going to meet them.”
“What? Then you’re going to kill me.”
When I first met her, she was just a pretty girl.
This is why war is so scary.
Because it changes people.
“Well, if something happens, I might kill you.”
In fact, I’m on my way to creating that mess.
If we suddenly invade, kill everyone, and take the estate, we will become just as evil as those guys.
So, everything needs a proper cause.
“What about that manor thing earlier? I heard that after work is done, there will be a nice manor.”
“Well, maybe there’s a minor quarrel with those guys and they might start fighting. Then they might all get killed. Then… … .”
“Then that would leave them with the nice manor they used to use. It would be a shame to leave it empty, so we could settle down there.”
“Well, that’s roughly true.”
The original language is different in ‘ah’ and ‘eo’.
Our Beast Palace warriors don’t kill anyone to take away a manor or something.
After killing them, you might get a prize.
“Ah… … I see what you mean. So it’s important to create some buzz. If possible, somewhere with lots of people.”
This guy, I thought he only had a pretty face, but he’s as quick-witted as a leopard.
* * *
In the middle of the busiest street in Yunnan, there is a place called Yehwalu.
It is famous for its largest and most beautiful gisaengs in the area.
Unfortunately, the taste of the alcohol is just so-so.
“This is Chilseongbang’s biggest moneymaker.”
Chilseongbang is the most influential blacksmith in Yunnan.
Yang Zhongshan, the eldest of the seven, is also a considerable expert.
Squeak.
I opened the door to the night market and went in.
The first and second floors of the guest house are places where you can enjoy meals and drinks.
The third floor private room is where gisaengs are called.
And on the last fourth floor, one of the seven brothers of Chilseongbang will be staying.
“Come on in… … .”
Jeomsoi, who was about to run over to greet Moon Sori, stopped.
You can’t help but be surprised when a large man with his head touching the door frame comes in, carrying a sword as tall as a person on his waist.
Of course, after that, my gaze was fixed on Bang Yak-ran.
“Why are you stopping by to say hello?”
“Ah, ah, please come in first.”
Then he winked at the guys in the corner.
I guess it means that he’s suspicious, so keep an eye out for him.
A few guys who had been leaning back in their chairs with their arms crossed straightened up and looked at me.
Judging by their fierce expressions and sharp eyes, they are guys who have had their fair share of knife fights.
There are always guys like that living in the Kiru run by Heukdo.
“If you two would like a quiet place, there is a private room on the third floor.”
“No need. Go that way.”
I deliberately chose a seat close to those guys earlier.
After a while, the liquor we ordered and some simple snacks arrived.
“Have a drink. It might be a mess, since it’s the liquor sold by the black bastards.”
Slurp slurp
It’s been a while since I’ve had a drink with Bang Yak-ran.
She is known as the most beautiful woman in the world.
Actually, the fighting scene is cooler.
“I had something to talk about anyway, so this is a good opportunity.”
“Yes, yes? What are you talking about?”
Another look of anticipation.
“I heard that the damage to Gwisubang-dong was also great. You also lost your fortune cards… … .”
Many warriors and the beasts that fought just as fiercely as they died.
She also lost the seven fortune tellers who followed her.
Most of them died protecting me while fighting the Blood Cult Leader.
“Those children are also warriors of the Beast Palace like us. They died fighting the enemy, so it was an honorable death.”
Even though he speaks calmly, why wouldn’t he be sad?
To the people of the Central Plains, they may seem like mere beasts, but to the warriors of Gwisubangdong, they are precious comrades.
Like my relationship with tofu.
“Anyway, thank you. And the manager told me to tell him that he was grateful too.”
“If you say that, it seems like I’m not a warrior of the Beast Palace. By the way, it seems like Tofu hasn’t awakened yet? That’s strange. It seems like it’s time for him to awaken… … .”
“I was curious anyway. What is this awakening?”
“Um… … It’s hard to explain, but for example, let’s say an ordinary warrior gains enlightenment and gains the power of a great warrior?”
In the Beast Palace, the Great Warrior is like the pinnacle of the Central Plains.
A title that is known as a master wherever you go.
“Besides, tofu is a spiritual thing.”
“Will your appearance change when you awaken?”
“Most of the time, that’s true. The mountain army that followed my father wasn’t that big originally.”
I thought about the tofu I had left in the guest room.
About the size of my palm.
Hmm… … It’s cute and perfect right now.
We drank three or four bottles while chatting about this and that.
Now it’s time to start causing trouble with Chilseongbang…
At that moment, Bang Yak-ran jumped up from her seat and shouted.
“What are you looking at?”
Her gaze was directed at those guys earlier.
The guy who seemed to be the leader among them opened his mouth.
Looking at Bang Yak-ran’s entire body with dirty eyes.
“I’m looking because there’s a corner to look at. Hehe. If you stupid savages came to see the Central Plains, just have a drink quietly and leave.”
It was true that those guys had been glancing at Bangyakran all along.
They were giggling and whispering things among themselves.
Anyway, the table has been set, so it’s my turn to step up.
“Don’t worry about them, they’re like rats.”
I said this deliberately, emphasizing the word ‘rat’.
The voice was quite loud, so everyone must have heard it.
I didn’t say it loudly on purpose.
The warriors of the Beast Palace originally did not know how to whisper.
Ding ding.
The guys in the corner stood up at the same time.
Five people in total.
“What? A rat? Haa. I’m a fierce warrior from Chilseongbang, and now I’ve even heard people call me a rat. And that too from a stupid savage.”
“Ugh. Leave him alone. He must be trying to show off a little because there’s a pretty girl around. He’s just relying on his size.”
“Run away quickly before your limbs are cut off and you start crawling like a bug. Oh, and there’s a pretty girl left over there. Ha.”
As expected, these black guys don’t go beyond my expectations.
Their speech became rougher, as if they thought I was scared.
“Ugh. The taste of men’s women is different. If you come to me instead of that sane guy, I’ll show you what a real man tastes like. Hehe.”
“They say those savages are big in size but small in everything else. Hehehe.”
“That’s why I said, come here. If you want to taste what a real man tastes like. Hmph.”
At that moment, Bang Yak-ran put both hands on her waist and shouted.
“Have you ever seen such a bunch of crazy kids? Should I tear out their fucking tongues? Or should I tear out all their dirty eyes? Take your pick, you little shits.”
“What, what?”
“Or should I bend over and let you lick my heels? Close your eyes. Before I peel off the skin.”
He whispered to me, leaving the bewildered guys behind.
“I think this should be enough to make a fuss.”
ah…….
I didn’t know much about the prescription.
I thought he was only good at fighting like a beast, but that mouth really is that of a beast.
By the way, where did you learn such harsh swearing?
Anyway, I have to get involved too.
“Be patient. Those with small parts are the ones who talk the most. They have no confidence in their night lives, so they pick fights with anyone for no reason. If you get to know them, they’re pitiful guys, so there’s no need to talk to them.”
By the way, savages are not just big.
They’re all just big.
I can confirm this because I saw it with my own eyes.
Bang Yak-ran nodded and answered.
“Ah… … I see. Little kids talk a lot.”
Well, that’s what it is.
I find it even stranger that you understand what I’m saying.
Those guys who can tolerate being called a rat or having their eyes gouged out, probably can’t stand being called small.
Before we knew it, everyone was up and had their hands on the handles of their swords.
Because of that, the other guests who had been quietly drinking on the first floor of the inn got scared and started leaving one by one.
“Hey, savage. What did you just say? Are you small? Are you insecure? Are you sad?”
He answered, pouring the drink into his mouth.
“Look, guys. Size doesn’t matter. Of course, bigger is better than smaller. It’s the mindset that matters. If you lose confidence, you’ll never get what you want.”
”
Sling.
Eventually the man’s sword was pulled out.
“This dirty bastard knows where this is… … I am the Maengyeomdo of Chilseongbang!”
