Chapter 110

Episode 110

He leaves.

Namman’s irreplaceable benefactor.

He was truly a strange and delightful man.

His affability was like that of a hometown person born and raised in Namman.

His generosity was like that of a sage sent down to the world.

Thus, it feels like a midsummer night’s dream.

Clearly, despite being together for the long period of two months.

Like a dream of some day we want to see again.

The people of Namman Beast Palace waved and watched until the departing connection could no longer be seen.

They did so until the sunset announced the approaching evening.

Night comes and the moon rises, and now five remain.

Yamu, Yaggang, Dallanglang, Yamimi.

And Gyarong.

“We’ll be able to see him again, right?”

A night of chirping insects.

Among the five who had been quiet, Yamimi speaks up.

For some reason.

Finding his daughter’s quietly questioning appearance both strange and admirable, Yaggang answers.

“We will. He is our dear friend and family.”

“Good. Then I won’t let him slip away next time.”

“Hmm. I thought you’d throw a tantrum to chase after him. How admirable that our daughter knows how to make resolutions.”

Dallanglang makes a pleased expression.

“Hmph. Yamimi has grown up. That tomboy-like personality of not chasing after him is quiet this time. She’s becoming a proper person…”

Thwack!

Squawk!

Gyarong, who had been nodding and speaking in admiration of her unusual quietness, became a star in the sky.

This was because Yamimi had approached and delivered a Tiger King Strike.

Clap, clap.

Yamimi dusts off her hands as if nothing happened.

The others react as if they saw it coming.

Still, that’s pretty quiet for her.

“Mother said… women for pleasure… women for… for you?”

“It’s ‘women adorn themselves for those who appreciate them,’ dear.”

Anyway, it is correct that it’s for someone.

“Ugh, Central Plains language is so difficult. Anyway, whether it’s for you or whatever, she said to cultivate myself to win a good person. So I’ll cultivate myself. To be worthy of Gaga.”

The plan of ‘women adorn themselves for those who appreciate them’ was scrapped.

Since we’re already family.

But Yamimi’s plan for you in her heart wasn’t scrapped.

“He’s Namgung’s benefactor, our family’s benefactor, and the first person in my life to treat me so roughly.”

Was there anyone living in Namman who treated her so roughly?

No.

They’d get bitten if they tried.

But the benefactor’s type of rough treatment was, this was really different.

Saying she wasn’t like a Namman person, making her spread fertilizer, making her do farm work, making her hold hammers.

“Making me plow fields like an ox was also a first.”

She fell for this first-time experience.

His appearance was also handsome, exotically mixed half Central Plains and half Namman.

And that’s not all?

He’s with a very cute Divine Beast too, right?

Then it’s definitely decided.

“I, Yamimi, seize what I want! But this time, I’ll seize him not with force, but as a lady!”

This was what she learned from the benefactor who risked his life for Namman without regard for his own.

She saw that one could obtain everything desired not through force, but through righteousness, will, actions, and generosity.

How could she treat such a benefactor roughly with force?

She’s not Yahwel.

“She’s grown well.”

“She’s grown well.”

“The master disciple even changed his granddaughter’s personality…”

To do something harder than fixing divine artifacts…

“Truly remarkable.”

The master and parents were grateful toward Namgung Cheon-gang, who had bestowed grace even in his absence.

Tears even welled up a little.

“When my daughter makes such firm resolutions, how can I as a mother stay still? Come here. Mama will teach you the method I used to catch Papa and how to catch men.”

“Oh! Really!? Thank you, Mom!”

“Of course, before that you must reach 5-star in Yasung True Scripture Divine Art, and your Tiger King Martial Arts must reach intermediate level. That’s the condition for the Howang Clan to go to the Central Plains.”

“Yes! I’ll learn diligently!”

“Oh my, such a good girl.”

Mother and daughter left laughing heartily together.

Those remaining were the former palace lord and current palace lord, father and son.

Yaggang speaks first.

“Father. But is your body alright?”

Yamu, who had aged ten years compared to before, nodded.

“I’m fine. I gave this old life to the benefactor who saved Namman, so how could I not be alright? Rather, I’m overflowing with strength.”

The resentment in his heart had disappeared.

No lingering grudges remain.

There is a wish.

For the rest of his life, to follow even a little of the truly amazing blacksmith abilities he learned over two months.

To pass this on to Ung-i and make it known to future generations.

This was the most sincere thing he could currently do.

‘Also, if the benefactor calls, this old and decrepit body will go anytime.’

Well then, shouldn’t this old body train more rigorously to be helpful?

Feeling his father’s heart, Yaggang makes a warm smile.

“Father will surely accomplish it.”

“Thank you. The palace lord will have much work ahead.”

“That’s right.”

There remained the task of further understanding the true meaning of the divine arts and martial arts contained in the restored Yasung County Chief to reach perfection.

Namman Beast Palace follows the law of the strong.

Since the strong dominate everything, it was natural to become stronger as palace lord.

“I will surely accomplish it.”

Yamu had no doubt that Yaggang would understand the true meaning and reach perfection.

He was a warrior who achieved 7-star Yasung True Scripture Divine Art alone with just the knowledge in his head, without even wearing the Yasung County Chief.

And that’s not all?

Hadn’t he already mastered the divine arts and martial arts of the Howang Clan by his coming of age?

Such a strong person.

Such an existence.

A true beast and king.

Though not among the Five Heavenly Kings, he was one of the Ten Martial Arts Sages equivalent to them.

That was Yaggang, his son.

Where, is having only strength through enlightenment everything?

With the gifts that Namgung Cheon-gang brought, he would make Namman even more prosperous and strong.

And one more thing in addition to this.

“Now I can do it.”

The unification of all of Namman.

Furthermore.

“Finding and tearing apart those bastards who drove my blood relatives to death.”

How could Seo-heung’s matter be something one person could handle alone?

Finding the curse of Namman that had been hidden in a secret prison deeper than where the Yasung County Chief was kept.

Also.

Father’s generation’s matter was the same.

Those who turned the Daeseo Flute Technique into the Bloodletting Flute Technique and transformed the Namman Taedaeseo into a blood letter,

There must certainly be a traitor in this Namman who led that deed which couldn’t be done by external invasion alone, but only with internal cooperation.

How could I just stand by and watch?

Even if it was misguided affection, as a person of the Nanman Beast Palace who cherished blood relatives dearly, living under the same sky as a traitor would never happen even if natural disasters occurred.

Therefore, I will tear them apart, appease the souls of the blood relatives who became corrupted, and comfort the souls of Namman who died unjustly.

Like Suwang, no, with an even greater heart than Suwang.

Making this vow, his eyes flashed as he carved this into his heart with blood.

As if facing a mortal enemy.

As if facing someone he could never forgive even in death.

His eyes glowed with the terrible yellow light of an enraged beast.

This was the appearance of the Beast King that Namgung Cheon-gang had not seen, or would never be shown.

* * *

“No matter how I look at it, she resembles a North Sea Elder Bird.”

Yahwel said while looking at Baekseol lying flat like a rice cake on top of Namgung Cheon-gang’s head.

“Well, anyone would say she resembles a North Sea Elder Bird.”

Namgung Cheon-gang knew what a North Sea Elder Bird was.

A flightless bird that only lived in the North Sea.

A creature that waddled when it walked, had sleek-looking feathers, and was gentler than expected, not running away even when people approached.

That’s right.

It was a penguin.

North Sea Elder Bird was the martial arts world’s expression for penguin.

‘The fur color, the shine, the behavior. They said the “Elder” character was added because it looked like an old man, right?’

It does suit her.

“That’s why it’s strange, younger brother. No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure out how the Sinchung Baekjeop that’s said to only appear in Namman could become a North Sea Elder Bird from the North Sea.”

“Oh my, why are you thinking so hard about it, brother? Baekseol’s birth itself was already a miracle from the beginning.”

“That’s true…”

Baekseol was the being that appeared when Namgung Cheon-gang used his blacksmith techniques to save a Sinchung Baekjeop cocoon that had been half-eaten by the Nammantae Daehyeolseo.

Since that birth legend itself was absurd, why couldn’t a butterfly become a bird?

If you really think about it, Namgung Cheon-gang who fixed life and made it into a strange being is even more bizarre.

He produces miraculous items as easily as eating.

“Hmm. Thinking about it this way, it certainly makes sense.”

“Huh? What does?”

“Nothing. I just think you’re truly amazing.”

“Oh my, you keep praising me like this and this younger brother will twist up like a snake. Hehehe!”

“Don’t worry. If your body gets so twisted you can’t untangle it, I’ll make an effort to untangle it for you, hahaha!”

“Ah, I’d be grateful if you did that. I’ll trust only you, brother. Hahaha!”

Really, the more we talk, the more endearing and pleasant this younger brother becomes.

‘The best thing I’ve done in my life was probably welcoming younger brother Namgung Cheon-gang as both brother and family.’

They were now on their way back to Namgung to deepen that family bond.

For the marriage with Namgung Yeong.

The main family had already given permission.

Of course, Namgung had also given permission, which is why they were traveling for the engagement.

Carrying various engagement gifts.

Were there only engagement gifts?

The debt they owed to Namgung Cheon-gang was greater than this great matter of human relationships that would be bound by marriage.

There were also gifts to repay that debt.

First were the business achievements made through contracts.

Not only branch stores for the Ungongwha business, but contracts opening all the shortcuts through the martial arts world that could be accessed via Namman.

In addition to this, exclusive contracts for Agamcho and superior Muktan School, and so on.

There were truly countless contract documents.

Therefore, there were over 50 cargo wagons loaded with gifts and funds for concluding contracts.

In addition to this, there were over 300 warriors guarding the treasures, and 200 porters alone.

An incredibly massive procession.

Namman’s generosity in repaying the debt they received was naturally grand and overflowing.

‘However, if it’s younger brother, he would value forming connections with them more than such gold and silver treasures.’

Judging by the character he had shown so far, that would certainly be the case.

Or maybe both.

‘Ah, it must be both.’

Seeing how his face lit up with joy when looking at the number of wagons filled with treasures heading to Namgung.

Especially, he was completely excited when seeing the ‘superior Muktan School’ and ‘Agamcho’?

‘My younger brother isn’t someone completely without greed after all.’

That made him seem more human and likeable.

“It would be really nice if only he could cook well.”

“…”

That was exactly the disappointing part.

So naturally, that disappointing part came out of his mouth.

Namgung Cheon-gang, who was listening, was dumbfounded.

‘What kind of nonsense is he suddenly spouting?’

Why is he bringing up cooking?

And my cooking skills are excellent, brother!

‘Brother Gyarong and the others are the strange ones!’

Just in case all the cooking at the Nanman Beast Palace was like Brother Gyarong’s cooking, Namgung Cheon-gang had checked for himself.

It wasn’t.

It was normal.

‘My gourmet exploration sensors activated properly. With this, shouldn’t I say that Brother Gyarong and Brother Yahwel’s taste buds are strange!’

Someday, I’ll definitely fix those bizarre taste preferences!

Though I don’t know if it’s possible…

“By the way, younger brother.”

“Yes?”

“Looking at Baekseol continuously, she is cute, but can this little one still produce silk like before? As a blacksmith, wouldn’t it be a waste if she can’t produce silk?”

“Ah!”

That’s right!

I had forgotten something important because Baekseol was so cute.

The infinite silk production ability!

That mysterious and absolutely necessary ability that only Baekseol could perform.

‘Thanks to that, I was happy that I could get A-grade crafted items whenever I wanted!’

But now?

I don’t know if it’s possible.

‘She’s a penguin!’

How can a penguin extract silkworm thread?

Namgung Cheon-gang’s eyes shook greatly as he finally realized this important fact from Yahwel’s words.

Still, you never know.

Since it transformed from Sinchung Baekjeop into a penguin, maybe it’s possible?

‘Hy, hyung-nim said it became a bird from Sinchung, so if it’s Baekseol showing such strange phenomena, it mi, might be possible.’

How?

Would it extract it from its butt?

‘….’

Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times.

Hearing a hundred times isn’t as good as seeing once, right?

Just find out and that’s it.

“Uh, Baekseol?”

“Ppi?”

“Sorry, but could you come down for a moment? There’s something I want to check.”

Baekseol, who had been rolling around drowsily on his head.

Responding to Namgung Cheon-gang’s call, it climbed down his face and body with effort.

And looked up.

(•◇•):Ppi?

Asking why he called.

“Aww, so cute.”

So cute my face is melting.

“It’s nothing much, but can you extract silk like before? It’s fine if you can’t. Our Baekseol is cute anyway.”

That’s right.

What’s wrong with not being able to?

This is Baekseol who used innate true energy to save daddy.

Just being cute is enough.

‘A-grade material items, well, I can just procure them directly.’

Checking?

Since it came to mind, I’m just curious if it’s possible.

But.

(๑`^´๑):Ppi!

“Oh!”

It says it’s possible!

“Uh, how?”

If it’s from the butt?

I’ll have to hold off for now.

No matter what, butt stuff is a bit….

However, Namgung Cheon-gang’s worry was unfounded.

The method by which Baekseol, transformed into a divine bird, extracted silk was completely different.

Namely.

“Ppiiiik!”

“…!?”

It spread its wings and extracted silk from what appeared to be its hands!

And it did so by slightly folding its hands and shooting from its wrists!

‘Wh, what the hell is this!’

Namgung Cheon-gang was flabbergasted.

Wasn’t that method very familiar?

Good heavens, our Baekseol, Baekseol has—

“Become your friendly neighborhood Spider Penguin!!!”

What kind of terrible hybrid is this!

‘What the hell did hyung-nim turn our Baekseol into!!’

Who would have thought he got into Marvel in the modern world of his dreams!

“Friendly Spider Penguin? What’s that, Younger Brother?”

‘Oops!’

Namgung Cheon-gang was so flustered that he blurted out terms from his previous life.

Unable to not be curious after hearing this, Yahwel casually asked Namgung Cheon-gang.

Namgung Cheon-gang immediately made an excuse.

“It’s a Western Regions term, meaning a North Sea ice bird that shoots thread, hyung-nim.”

“Western Regions language is truly unique and fascinating. Anyway, who would have thought Baekseol could shoot thread like that. Somehow, it looks friendly.”

“….”

What?

Are there friendly neighbors in Namman too?

Or does that posture originally signify friendliness?

It was puzzling.

“Ppi! Ppiiiik! Ppi!”

Baekseol was excited and diligently extracted silk.

‘…As long as Baekseol is happy.’

A penguin and friendly neighborhood collaboration shouldn’t have copyright issues.

‘Wait. If it extracts silk like that, how does it make the purified soil it used to make by eating and spitting blood soil? It seems difficult to eat with its beak?’

Does it mix it with water or something?

I’ll find out someday, I guess.

It was a joyful journey back to Namgung.
