Episode 1523. Flowers and Butterflies

Yeon-jeok, who had been hanging her head, thought she had misheard and asked again.

“What did you say?”

“He asked me if I wanted eternal love.”

“Of course. But isn’t that an impossible story for me?”

It was like a dream, since he was immortal and Namgung Yeon was no longer in the present world.

“Would you give up immortality if it were possible?”

“Are you telling me to die?”

“The question is whether it is possible to live the lifespan of a normal human being.”

“Can a being like me live as long as a human?”

Gucheonhyeonnyeo spoke with an indifferent expression to Yeonjeokha, who was looking puzzled.

“God is said to have ‘immortal will.’ So it is true that physically killing God is nearly impossible.”

“I am that kind of being, you know.”

“And yet, many gods died. Not because of external forces, but because gods forgotten by humans voluntarily broke their ‘will to exist.’”

For a moment, I felt a shock as if I had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

It was the first time I learned that a god could be destroyed like that.

“Are you telling me to live as long as a human being… … . Are you telling me to break my will to exist like them?”

The eyes of Gucheonhyeonnyeo, who nodded, sparkled like stars.

Then Yeonjeokha continued speaking.

“But what about Sister Yeon? Sister Yeon isn’t here, is she? Surely you’re not telling me to have an eternal love with someone else?”

“What if Namgung Yeon abandons the celestial world and reincarnates as a perfect human?”

The eyes of the nine-year-old girl burned with desire.

Originally, the reason Namgung Yeon chose to become a Taoist was because he did not want to be seen growing old and dying alone.

If I could end my life with Yeonjeokha, I would be willing to give up my position as a god.

It is quite ironic that the reincarnated body chose an immortal life, but the real body became mortal.

If the other gods had known, they would have tried to dissuade her, calling it a foolish desire, but the present-day Nine Heavenly Women chose love over immortality.

The main culprit behind Gucheonhyeonnyeo’s dramatic change was Namgung Yeon.

In the past, Namgung Yeon went to the ‘fourth heaven’ with the determination to die and met Yeon Jeok-ha.

The ‘fourth heaven’ is a higher world than the heavenly world.

Thanks to Namgung Yeon, Gucheonhyeonnyeo experiences a great awakening.

That is, life in the lower world, the heavenly world, and the upper world are not very different.

The end of attaining the Way was as fleeting as life itself.

Gucheonhyeonnyeo tried not to bury Namgungyeon’s feelings.

Rather, he helped Yeonjeokha even at the cost of thousands of kalpas, and finally decided to leave the world of cultivating immortals and be reincarnated as a perfect human.

In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the current Gucheonhyeonnyeo is Namgungyeon.

People often say that the eyes are the windows to the soul.

I felt intense emotions in the eyes of the Nine Heavenly Women who were my rivals.

The current Nine Heavenly Women were clearly different from the ones she had seen in her childhood or before she went to the Savior or the Fourth Heaven.

In the past, Gucheonhyeonnyeo was indifferent, and when she showed her emotions, it was only out of pity.

But now, he looked like Namgung Yeon.

This is Namgung Yeon, who reunited in the ‘fourth heaven’ and shared a passionate love.

He was happy, but at the same time, he was concerned about the sudden change in Gucheonhyeonnyeo, who had been like a stone and a wooden statue.

As the saying goes, ‘If you have doubts, you can even create ghosts out of thin air.’

For a moment, Yeonjeokha’s mind became more complicated than ever.

At that time, Gucheonhyeonnyeo, who had been very excited, asked with a slightly disappointed expression.

“Why is there no answer?”

“There is something that is a little questionable.”

“Tell me.”

“I just had a thought. If Nine Heavenly Women’s past life was Sister Yeon… …. What about the Nine Heavenly Women I met in the warehouse?”

He met Namgung Yeon and Gucheon Hyeonnyeo when he was six years old.

He thought that if Gucheonhyeonnyeo had been reincarnated as Namgungyeon, then only one of the two had to exist.

“If Gucheonhyeonnyeo is the true body, then Namgungyeon is like her alter ego. Think of Shastra Parakti incarnating in the ‘fourth heaven’ and living as Luna Mylus. Even when Namgungyeon was by your side in the name of Luna Mylus, Shastra Parakti was still there.”

“Ah! I see. Then, just as Luna Milas returned to Shastra Parakti… … . Perhaps Yeon-nim also went to Gucheonhyeonnyeo… … .”

“That’s right. Namgung Yeon and I have become one.”

“I understand now. So what does it mean to be reincarnated as a perfect human being?”

“It means that Jinshin will leave the world of water and be reborn as a human.”

“Why? Until now, it’s not like Lady Gucheonhyeonnyeo’s previous life was just with Yeon-nuna. Why are you suddenly giving up on immortality?”

“During my previous life as Namgung Yeon, I experienced life in the upper world. You must be the same. Don’t you think it’s strange? The lives of the lower world, the celestial world, and the upper world are not all that different. Whether it’s the life of a mayfly, a human, or an immortal… … The joys and sorrows were all the same. The only difference was the immensely increased lifespan.”

“… … .”

Yeonjeok nodded, greatly sympathizing with those words.

Because he himself had the same thoughts as her in the ‘Savior’ and the ‘Fourth Heaven’.

“For an immortal, the only thing that is eternal is… … the long time. Everything else is as light as a rag blown by the wind. Fate, life, love… … . Just as Namgung Yeon prepared to die and came to find you, I intend to do the same.”

Only then could I understand the Nine Heavenly Women.

Namgung Yeon, who was like an active volcano, melted the heart of Gucheonhyeonnyeo, who was like a stone.

Looking back, it was similar to the change that Namgung Yeon showed.

Namgung Yeon always lived as if he was indifferent, but when he met her again in ‘Fourth Heaven’, she was hot.

Gucheonhyeonnyeo, who had been staring at Yeonjeokha lost in thought, opened her mouth again.

“Will you live a mortal life with me?”

“yes.”

Yeonjeokha answered firmly.

I don’t know what immortality means to humans, let alone gold and stone.

If you repeat the five curses hundreds or thousands of times, it will wear out and become dull.

It is no wonder that the Heavenly Horse and the Golden Horse came from Kama Deviās and Ushas Undra.

There was no law that said he would not become like them in the distant future.

A smile spread across the face of Gucheonhyeonnyeo, who had been anxiously waiting for an answer.

At that moment, Yeonjeokha took a step towards Gucheonhyeonnyeo and said.

“Sister!”

“… … .”

Gucheonhyeonnyeo was surprised by the sudden change in title, but did not deny it.

Encouraged by her attitude, Yeon-jeok reached out his hand to the face of Gucheonhyeonnyeo.

Yeonjeokha muttered to himself as he caressed Gucheonhyeonnyeo’s face.

“You really were my older sister. I thought I was dying to see you. I also wanted to attain enlightenment and go to the heavenly world, but… … . I need to know something.”

“You don’t have to go through all the trouble to come here. I can just go.”

Gucheonhyeonnyeo answered despite her embarrassment.

Then, Yeonjeok-ha, overcome with emotion, hugged Gucheonhyeonnyeo tightly.

Gucheonhyeonnyeo, who was quietly patting his shoulder while holding him in her arms, whispered.

“The time has come. I will be reincarnated and will remember nothing. I will simply bloom into a single flower, so come to me like a butterfly.”

Yeon Jeok-ha, who was surprised by those words, hurriedly pulled Gucheonhyeonnyeo out of his arms and asked.

“Find it? How?”

“Promise me in words. You will definitely come to me and live happily ever after. Then that will be fine.”

After that, he didn’t ask any questions.

Since it was the words of Namgung Yeon, who was known as the most skilled warrior, it was something that could be done as he said.

“I promise in the name of Yeon Jeok-ha, the disciple of Gong Ya-ja and Cheong Bul-no. I will find Yeon Noonim who has been reincarnated as a perfect human and live with her for a hundred years.”

As soon as Yeonjeokha finished speaking, this time Gucheonhyeonnyeo kissed him.

Yeonjeokha opened her eyes wide in surprise.

But before the sweet shock could even fade, Gucheonhyeonnyeo was sucked back as if she was being sucked in.

“Sister! Sister!”

Yeonjeok-ha ran, but strangely enough, the distance did not get any closer.

Just before the Nine Heavenly Kings disappeared into a dot, Yeonjeok shouted desperately.

“I’ll go find you! Wherever you are, I’ll find you!”

Finally, the figure of the Nine Heavenly Women completely disappeared from sight.

As the thick clouds dispersed, the small room came into view again.

The once sparkling Nine Heavenly Swords was now covered in dirty rust.

As Yeonjeokha stood there with a blank expression, the voices of Yeonjeongwoon, Yeonseoyeon, and Kim Miran came one after another into her ears.

“Really. I heard a strange noise.”

“I can’t hear anything?”

“No, just open the door quickly. You don’t want it stolen.”

It was only then that I realized, “Oh no.”

It seems that he was so distracted by the moving away Gucheonhyeonnyeo that he let out a little sound.

When the Yeon Jeong-un family opens the door and comes in, there is no greater shame than this.

The man quickly opened the window.

At the same time, Yeon Jeong-un opened the door wide.

After a while, Yeon Jeong-woon became irritated.

“No! I told you I couldn’t hear anything.”

Then Kim Mi-ran pointed to the window with a surprised face.

“Window! The window is open. It was definitely closed earlier. Oh my! Now that I look at it, the bundle is open. Someone came in!”

Only then did Yeon Jeong-un run to the window.

But there was no sign of life in the yard, and the gate was still closed.

Kim Mi-ran, who had rewrapped the Goocheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong in a bojagi, approached Yeon Jeong-un and whispered.

“Go to your nephew’s room.”

“why?”

“Just check if it’s in the room.”

Only then did Yeon Jeong-un hurriedly leave the room.

Yeon Seo-yeon, who was watching her parents’ conversation with a puzzled expression, asked Kim Mi-ran.

“Are you suspecting a load?”

“I’m just saying this just in case, since he’s the only outsider.”

“Hey, that’s not it. There’s nothing to steal in this room.”

Kim Mi-ran held back her words as she was about to say, “That bronze mirror is worth 600 million won.”

Because the fewer people who knew about such things, the better.

After a while, Yeon Jeong-woon returned to the small room and shook his head.

“I was sleeping.”

“Then that’s not true. That’s fortunate.”

Kim Mi-ran cleared her throat.

The relic room and the room with the lotus flower were both on this floor, and to get in and out through the window, you had to put a ladder in the yard.

However, since there was no ladder in the yard, it could be seen as something unrelated to Yeonjeokha.

Yeon Seo-yeon grumbled as she watched her parents’ conversation.

“See? I told you it wasn’t me. Did you leave the window open and forget about it?”

“Okay, let’s say the window was like that. Then how do you explain the unwrapping of the bundle?”

“Cat burglar?”

“She’s my daughter, but her head is full of flowers. The thieving cat unwrapped her bundle and looked into the bronze mirror? You might as well say that a fairy came out of the mirror and wandered around.”

“Huh? Really! That could have been it. Could it be that the fairy from the mirror opened the window and flew into the sky?”

“Tsk tsk! How old are you and you’re still talking about your childhood? Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep. And honey.”

Yeon Jeong-woon, who had been thinking deeply about something, turned his head and looked at Kim Mi-ran.

“why?”

“You’re sleeping in this room tonight. I don’t think it’s okay because it feels uncomfortable.”

“okay.”

Yeon Jeong-un, who was anxious about the big deal, obediently followed his wife’s words.

The next morning.

Yeon Jeong-un’s family and Yeon Jeok-ha sat around the table.

Yeon Si-woo, a middle school student, arrives at school early, and as usual, the four of them eat together.

Yeon Jeong-woon watched Yeon Jeok-ha’s expression throughout the meal, saying, “A thief’s feet are numb.”

“Uncle, do you have anything to say?”

At that moment, Yeon Jeong-woon felt a sting, but forced a smile and shook his head.

“No? Why?”

“It felt like you were staring at me for a while.”

“No?”

Kim Mi-ran couldn’t stand seeing her husband trembling like a sinner, so she stepped forward.

“Actually, there was a thief last night.”

“A thief?”

Yeonjeokha asked back with a look of surprise on her face.

Then, Kim Mi-ran continued speaking while examining Yeon Jeok-ha with sharp eyes.

“Yes, someone secretly broke into the room where my father-in-law’s belongings were stored.”

“Surely… you’re not doubting me, are you?”

Yeon Jeong-woon, who had been taking a step back at Yeon Jeok-ha’s words, hurriedly intervened.

“No, what? Why should we suspect you?”

When the atmosphere became strange, Yeon Seo-yeon quickly got up from her seat and went into her room.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment, but Kim Mi-ran neither confirmed nor denied it until the end.
