Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 390



Only Noblemtl

Episode 390

The woman’s name was Cheongming.

As one of Xiao Lun’s disciples, he was given the special mission to find out everything about Zeon.

Because of that, he made all preparations and prepared to approach Zeon. However, when Cheongming made all preparations, Zeon was no longer present in Neo Seoul.

He had left his home to hunt armored ants.

Because of that, Cheongming returned to the southern district without much gain. Then, upon hearing the news that Jeon had returned, he hurriedly returned to the slums.

Cheongming asked Jeon with a slightly bewildered expression.

“Am I being pushed out by the noodles right now?”

“There’s no need to rush or say anything. I came here to eat in the first place.”

“That may be true. From Lord Zeon’s perspective, I must be an uninvited guest.”

“Judging by your clothes and the atmosphere, you seem to be from the southern district. Is that right?”

“That’s correct. My name is Qingming, disciple of Xiaolun.”

“okay.”

Cheongming bit his lip at Jeon’s indifferent expression.

I came all dressed up to meet him, but he didn’t respond at all.

The most effective way to get the information you want from a man was through a honey trap.

Qingming was aware that she was beautiful, and she knew how to use it effectively.

On the surface, it looks the same as her usual attire, but if you look closely, you’ll see that she’s incorporated elements that are sure to dazzle men.

The side seam was cut open, revealing her pure white thighs, and the perfume she sprayed on her neck was enough to make men dizzy.

A single bottle of this perfume, made from the secretions of a demon, was worth one hundred kilograms of magic stones.

The name Namseulhyang was given because she would make any man kneel.

Cheongming was confident.

She thought that the moment he smelled this scent, Zeon would surrender to her and tell her everything. But Zeon was actually looking at her with a furrowed brow.

“Why is that?”

“The perfume smells a bit… … .”

Zeon cut his words short, his expression heavy.

Cheongming Tan used the scent of namseul in order to seduce Jeon, but Jeon’s sensitive sense of smell only found it repulsive.

Cheongming couldn’t hide his bewildered expression at Zeon’s unexpected reaction.

Jeon was the first man to show this kind of reaction after spraying Namseulhyang.

Jeon said to Cheongming.

“Could you please move away? I need to eat, but the smell coming from over there is a bit… .”

“Are you insulting me now?”

“That perfume is made from the secretions of female golden mantises?”

“How about that?”

Cheongming’s eyes shook.

As Jeon said, the main ingredient in Namseulhyang was the secretion of female golden mantises.

The Golden Locust was a low-level demonic creature that literally resembled a locust and was about a meter in size.

During the breeding season, female golden mantises attract males with their secretions.

The male, attracted by the female’s scent, begins mating right away.

At that time, the female bites the head of the mating male, as is the custom of mantises.

Even when being eaten alive, males do not stop mating.

It was because of the secretions released by the female.

This secretion numbs the male’s sense of reason and pain, rendering him unable to feel anything.

That’s why they mate even though they are eaten alive.

When mating is over, the male no longer exists in the world. He becomes the female’s nutrient and is used to give birth to her offspring.

Not many people knew this fact.

It was one of the visions that only a few people in the southern district knew, so it was no wonder that Cheongming was surprised when Jeon knew about it.

“How do you know about the golden locust?”

“Once you catch it, you should know. The smell of its secretions was so bad that it was hard, but I never thought that someone here would dilute its secretions and use them.”

“Are you ignoring me now?”

“Ignore me? I’m telling the truth… … .”

“profit!”

Cheongming bit his lips.

Her shoulders were trembling with humiliation.

I wanted to attack Zeon right away. However, knowing Zeon’s abilities, I couldn’t dare attack him.

Sand was strewn all over the slums.

Attacking Zeon in such a place would be tantamount to suicide.

Cheongming tried hard to suppress his emotions and spoke calmly.

“If you don’t like it, I won’t wear this perfume.”

“There’s no need to do that. There’s no reason to meet you after today.”

“Let’s talk.”

“Did Lady Xiaolun send you this?”

“that…….”

“Tell him. This kind of approach is counterproductive.”

“Wouldn’t you regret letting a beauty like me go like this?”

“I might regret it. But I don’t have the hobby of blindly embracing a rose with lots of thorns… … .”

Cheongming shuddered.

Because I felt that the look in Zeon’s eyes had changed.

Her gaze, which contained no emotion as if looking at an inorganic object, seemed to pierce her lungs.

My chest ached as if my heart was shrinking.

It’s as if the day was being stabbed with a well-pointed knife.

Cheongming sighed and got up from his seat.

“Ha! I was careless. If I had known your sense of smell was this sensitive, I would never have sprayed the perfume on you.”

“Even if it weren’t for that perfume, you’re not my type.”

“No, where can you find a girl as pretty as me?”

“I’ve seen a lot of elves too… … .”

“What bad luck!”

Cheongming’s shoulders shook in humiliation.

She knew it too.

That among the elves, there are those who have exceptional beauty. And that compared to them, my own appearance is also lacking.

But knowing it and hearing it from someone else were two different things.

Zeon said.

“If you want to see me, tell Xiaolun to come in person.”

“Your arrogance is sky-high. Do you think Lady Xiao Lun would care about you?”

“Then why did I send you? Are you trying to tell me that you approached me of your own volition?”

“that…….”

Qingming couldn’t bring himself to answer.

widely!

At that moment, Mr. Clexi brought out noodles in front of Jeon.

“Eat.”

“thank you.”

Jeon picked up his spoon as if he had been arguing with Cheongming.

Qingming felt even more miserable at the sight of Zeon not caring about her at all.

“Shit!”

It was when Qingming turned around, gritting his teeth.

“Your food is here too… … .”

“Okay.”

“But I still have to do the math… … .”

“sleep.”

Cheongming squandered the money without even looking back.

Clexi’s inspiration quickly snatched it away and laughed.

“Hehehe! What a win-win.”

“Fuck!”

Cheongming swore and walked away.

As soon as she disappeared, the smile disappeared from Clexi’s face.

“Beauty trickery. That’s a very classic tactic. Even before the end of the world, they used that method to steal everything.”

“How can a classic be considered a classic? It is because it is so effective that it continues to be used.”

“You are still an object. How dare you resist the temptation of such a woman. You could have just pretended not to notice and enjoyed it… … .”

“As I said before, the smell is so bad.”

“Is that true?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Is the perfume that woman sprayed really made from demon secretions?”

“It’s true.”

“I should also tell the kids to be careful. The perfume made from the secretions of the devil has the effect of bewitching men. If I didn’t know, many of them would have fallen victim to it.”

Zeon nodded at Clexi’s words.

“That’s what you should do. If you don’t want to be eaten alive by the female who just finished mating… … .”

“Anyway, the world is full of evil things, so I can’t let my guard down.”

“You know?”

“what?”

“One of them is the inspiration.”

“What about me? You idiot! Where can you find someone as kind and transparent as me?”

“It’s so transparent that it’s disgusting.”

“Are you still feeling bad because I ate you a little bit when we first met?”

“Really?”

“I think it’s real.”

“Think whatever you want.”

“By the way, Xiao Lun seems to care quite a bit about you. To the point where he would send his disciple to check on you… … .”

“That’s right.”

Zeon agreed with him.

I’ve had several run-ins with other districts, but the South District was the worst.

I don’t know how many times I’ve had problems with them.

If things continued like this, it wouldn’t be strange if a big problem broke out at any time.

Zeon asked as if a thought had suddenly occurred to him.

“Do you know where Xiaolun’s hometown is?”

“China… … I think it was Tibet.”

“Isn’t Tibet close to Sichuan?”

“It’s close! Why is that?”

“I was just curious.”

“It’s a bit bland… … .”

“Can I eat the noodles that the woman didn’t eat?”

“Eat as much as you want.”

“Thank you.”

Old Man Clexi grumbled as he watched Jeon drag Cheongming’s noodles forward.

“You pig!”

＊＊＊

Qingming knelt before Xiaolun.

“sorry.”

“Did it fail?”

“I have no face.”

“Are you incompetent? Or is he just not interested in women?”

“sorry.”

Qingming didn’t make excuses.

He wasn’t someone I could accept making excuses for, and even if I did, it would only make me more miserable.

Fortunately, Xiaolun didn’t say anything more to Qingming.

He muttered, his chin resting on his hand.

“Threats don’t work, persuasion doesn’t work, and even beautification doesn’t work… … . It’s a headache.”

“Who are you talking about?”

Then someone suddenly asked.

It was Zhang Yuhang who Xiaolun had brought along.

After leaving the city hall, Jang Woo-hang stayed in the southern district.

To Jang Woo-hang, the southern district was a new world.

His eyes were drawn to the convenient life and highly developed civilization that he could not even dare to imagine in the underworld.

Xiaolun answered absentmindedly.

“There is such a person.”

“Who is that person?”

“Sand wizard!”

“yes?”

“It’s literally true. He’s an Awakened One who can manipulate sand.”

Jang Woo-hang made a curious expression.

Because even in the world he came from, there was no Awakened One with such abilities.

“Is there such a person? If we can just recruit him, he would be very useful.”

“If inclusion is possible, then yes.”

“It seems like you have a rather serious personality.”

“It’s not that easy. There’s no room for stabbing.”

“I guess you’re a rebel.”

“He is quite the rebel.”

“Then wouldn’t it be okay if I just remove it?”

“If it were easy, there would be no reason to worry. He has great power and is smart. And his resentment toward us is no joke. Several people in our area have already been affected.”

“What if I meet him?”

Xiaolun frowned at Zhang Wuhang’s words.

“You? Why?”

“Do you know? Maybe I can convince him.”

“He’s not a man who can be persuaded.”

“But you don’t know? Give me a chance. If it works out, that’s great, and if I can’t convince you, it’s not a loss.”

Jang Woo-hang smiled meaningfully.
