Episode 740: You Must Keep Your Promise
As soon as Yongjin finished closing the room, Monggi and Dangwan-ah also returned. During this time, the two went out to raise Cheongrin Gak-eung.
Cheongrin Gak-eung had now reached the fourth level, and his body was over a hundred zhang long. Yongjin couldn’t help but be amazed at the strength of the evil spirit, who had tamed the demon beast so quickly.
Yongjin thought that he should give the corpse of Gucheokgeomang to Dangwana, and Cheongrin Gak-eung, who had become an adult, should give it to Aman. Aman is a guy who cannot live without meat.
The day when Mangoro would open was approaching. Yongjin wanted to stop training and relax.
Yongjin had heard a rumor that there was a rare fish in the pond north of Hyeoncheondojong. They said it was delicious, so he planned to secretly catch the fish and prepare a sumptuous meal.
However, the disciples were not allowed to enter this area.
But Yongjin was the kind of person who would care about such things. He secretly avoided the defense and went to the pond.
The pond was not very large, only about ten li in each direction, and the water was clear, but the bottom was not visible.
It was said that the reason the water in the pond was so deep was because it was connected to the sea. No one knew exactly what the legendary underground sea was like.
However, I heard that a rare fish called gomokuo (沽目魚) lives under the pond of Hyeoncheondojong.
The fish has three red spots on its back with silvery white eyes. I heard that these red spots are its real eyes, as the silvery white eyes cannot identify objects. Perhaps the eyes have degenerated due to living underground for a long time.
Mongki had previously talked about the old-fashioned fish. He said that the taste was so amazing that even if two people ate it, one would not know it even if one died. In addition, the old-fashioned fish was good for newlyweds.
Gulp.
Yongjin swallowed. He wasn’t a big eater, but he enjoyed gourmet food.
It was the complete opposite of Aman. Aman didn’t care about taste, whether it was ripe or not, as long as it satisfied his strength.
At first, Aman’s eating habits were unfamiliar, but later he gradually adapted. Aman ate food so quickly that if he had waited for the meat to be cooked, he would have starved to death. So Aman hid on one side and ate secretly.
Yongjin slowly approached the bushes. This was the perfect location for fishing.
“uh?”
As we pushed through the bushes, a girl holding a fishing rod was seen looking up at Yongjin at the edge of the pond.
The girl, who looked to be about eighteen, had naturally flowing hair that reached her waist. With her eyebrows like a willow tree, eyes like a phoenix, and a slender face with shiny cheeks, she looked like a noble lady at first glance. However, looking at the waves flowing through her body, it was surprising that she was a natural born strong woman.
She looked at Yongjin with wide eyes. Yongjin was surprised too. He didn’t know there would be someone else who came here to fish secretly.
“Hey, hello little miss. You must be bored fishing alone. This brother will fish with you.”
Yongjin said.
“Little miss?”
She made a strange expression, then looked at Yongjin calmly and said.
“This place prohibits disciples from entering. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by the law enforcement agency?”
“You’re not scared either, so why should I?”
Yongjin shook his head.
Yongjin wasn’t the type to be scared by something like this. Besides, he was just fishing, so what could happen?
The woman said with a slight smile.
“I’m not scared because I’m the lord’s relative, but you?”
“relative?”
Yongjin was surprised. He had never thought that she was the lord’s relative. She seemed to have a noble status. Could she be the lord’s descendant?
“What a coincidence. Actually, I’m also a relative. I’m the nephew of the granddaughter of the Jongju Daein. We may be distant relatives, but still, relatives are relatives.”
After Yongjin muttered something, he took out his fishing rod and started tying the line to the hook.
“Have you ever heard that the lord of the kingdom has a relative like you?”
The woman said with a smile.
“Tch, what would you know, you little kid? How could the lord tell you such a thing? By the way, do you know how deep this nail is?”
Yongjin quickly changed the subject.
“It’ll be about one thousand eight hundred.”
Still, perhaps because she was considerate of Yongjin’s reputation, she did not continue talking about her relatives.
“Is it that deep?”
Yongjin was surprised.
His fishing line was only a few hundred feet long, not long enough to reach the bottom of the pond where the trout lived.
“Use mine. I have some extra fishing line.”
The woman threw a rope.
Yongjin was surprised when he received it.
“Chilseong Geumjamsa?”
The Chilseong Geumjamsa was a spiritual-grade material. If you made armor with it, its value would be comparable to its appearance. The woman was truly rich for using such a precious material for fishing.
“thank you.”
Yongjin, who was handed the line, greeted them, took out the bait, and put it on.
“What kind of bait is this?”
As the scent of bait spread, the woman asked with a slightly surprised look.
“This is a bait I made specifically to catch red-eyes. I heard that red-eyes are blind and use their dorsal fins to detect objects and their noses to discern things. That’s why I added a fragrance extracted from the oil of the Seventh-Grade Demon Beast to the bait.”
Yongjin spoke confidently and threw a piece of bait to the woman.
“If something comes, something goes. You try this bait too.”
The woman who received the bait hesitated for a moment because it was a hassle to pull the fishing line back up and change the bait.
Yongjin cast his fishing line into the pond. It took a long time for the bait to sink to the end of the pond, which was so deep.
“How long have you been fishing here? How many have you caught? I hear the redfish is delicious. Have you tried it?”
“I go fishing sometimes. Not to eat fish, but to clear my mind. I’ve caught fish seven or eight times, and they’re tastier than I thought. You’ll know when you try fishing too.”
The woman said with a smile.
“Oh, the bait went all the way down.”
Yongjin felt the fishing rod become slightly lighter. As the hook sank to the bottom, Yongjin adjusted the height again to slightly raise the hook off the bottom.
“Are you Yongjin?”
The woman suddenly asked.
“Yeah, you?”
Yongjin also asked the woman’s name.
“Me? I’m Ouyang Qiuyou.”
She hesitated for a moment and then answered.
“By the way, why didn’t you participate in the test?”
Yongjin suddenly asked.
“Because you lack the skills. Even if you are the lord’s relative, if you lack the skills, you shouldn’t participate.”
“It’s okay. From now on, I will help you. If anyone dares to harass you, just say my name. If anyone harasses you, I will hit that guy’s head on.”
Yongjin said, beating his chest.
“Hahaha, that’s funny. Okay, I have to keep my promise.”
She smiled brightly. It was the kind of smile that put people at ease.
“Don’t worry. If I’m there, even the Four Great Geniuses won’t dare ignore you. Even if the Jongju Daein is your relative, he still has a position, so he’ll look out for you when something happens. Even if he wants to stand up for you, he’ll have to consider fairness and influence, so it’ll be hard. But I’m different. If someone touches me, I just hit them right back. There’s not much to consider.”
Yongjin stretched out his hand and slapped the air. Gu Yangchuu laughed at the sight.
“Hey, I got caught!”
Yongjin suddenly felt the fishing rod he was holding sink and exerted strength. He almost fell into the water due to the strong force of the fishing rod.
Gu Yangchu quickly reached out and helped Yongjin.
“Looks like it’s a really big fish.”
Yongjin, who had finally calmed down, spoke with an excited expression.
“I think he’s a great guy.”
“Don’t look into the deep well in the new way. There is a strange stone underground that will drain your soul power in an instant.”
When Yongjin was about to do something, Guyangchuu gave him a warning.
Yongjin quickly took off his fishing rod. He couldn’t tell how big the fish was without looking at it with his fishing rod, and he couldn’t tell if it was a redfish or not. In order to find out who bit the hook, he had no choice but to pull it up with his own strength.
The force of the one pulling the bait was strong. Yongjin looked at Guyangchuu with a slight surprise and asked.
“How big was the red snapper you caught last time?”
“The small one is about a foot and a half, and the large one is about three feet? Since it’s underwater, the pulling force will feel much greater.”
Gu Yangchu said.
“If you look at the strength with which it bites the bait, it is strong enough to rival a sixth-grade demon.”
Yongjin looked speechless.
After pulling for a while, my palm turned red. The string was so thin that if it had been someone else, it would have probably hurt their hand.
“I’ll help you.”
Gu Yangchu said.
“No, now is not the time to use force. The bastard is trying to squeeze through the gap between the rocks, and if I use force, the rope will break. It’s a war of attrition from now on. It would be nice if the rope could just hold its own.”
Yongjin slowly began to let go of the line.
Then, when he felt strength from below, he slowly pulled the line back. Yongjin had faith in this fishhook, which was made from a piece of Kwak Yeon’s work.
The only thing that worried Yongjin was that there was only one rope. He was worried that it might break by rubbing against the rocks at the bottom of the pond.
After a while, the guy below became weaker and weaker. Yongjin gradually began to reel in the line, and soon a huge fish floated to the surface. Yongjin and Guyangchu were shocked.
The large fish, three long, was shining gold all over. There were three red spots on its back, and its eyes were not silver-white but gold, so it looked like a fish cast in gold.
“Is this a red herring?”
Yongjin was dazed for a moment.
“Redneck fish. It’s the king of fish. My goodness, I’ve never eaten a king of fish before!”
Gu Yangchu, who had been calm all along, seemed surprised and started talking a little faster.
thud.
Yongjin knocked the guy out with his own hands and pulled the fish out. The two were both excited as they looked at the fish they had caught.
“Chuu, I’ll treat you to some grilled fish, so come with me.”
As Yongjin spoke with a pleasant smile, Gu Yangchuu smiled strangely.
“I’ll sneak this fish out, so let’s find a secret place and eat it.”
Yongjin said.
“There’s no need for that. There’s a nice lawn nearby. You can eat there. No one will bother us unless they’re the lord, so don’t worry.”
Gu Yangchu said.
“Really? Okay. Then let’s grill it there. I’ll leave the fish to you for a moment since I need to get some firewood. It’ll be incredibly delicious grilled over natural charcoal.”
After Yongjin handed the king over to Guyangchuu, he returned and brought Mengqi and Dang Wan-ah. The two smiled faintly when they saw Guyangchuu.
“Yongjin, you must have caught a girl while fishing?”
“Wan-ah.”
Mongki glared at Wan-ah lightly.
“Haha, it’s okay, I’ll take it as a joke. We’re all from the Hyeoncheon Dojong sect anyway, so there’s no need to be picky.”
Gu Yangchu said with a smile.
“Wow, it smells really good!”
At this time, a large fish was grilled to a golden brown color. The smell was so good that it drove people crazy. The four people started eating without even saying a word.
