Chapter 90
Episode 90
“Baekhogang-chungjeop-jam (White Tiger Strong Insect Butterfly Silkworm)! Hehe, speaking of this name, it means a silkworm family insect that possesses the strength of a white tiger and the beauty of a butterfly…”
“Rejected!”
“What!”
Suwang, who was about to give a grand explanation, glared with his eyes.
“Why! There’s no name more magnificent than this!”
“No, what, tiger, lion, goril- no, orangutan, you just stuck all the animals together! And it’s too long! Plus, most importantly!”
Namgung Cheon-gang showed Sinchung Baekjeop’s face.
“Our Sinchung Baekjeop doesn’t like it!”
(‵□′): Squeak!
“Ugh!”
The party in question dislikes it.
What can even Suwang do about that?
“I accept the rejection…”
“Honestly Suwang, you’re really bad at naming things.”
“Suwang’s house pets Hosun and Houng were also named by his younger sibling, not Suwang.”
“Before that, he named them Howang-namapunggyeoksal and Howang-yeoapunggyeoksal.”
“Even I, Myumyu, think those are strange names.”
The listening Namman Warriors whispered among themselves.
Though they call it whispering.
Everyone can hear it.
Suwang’s face turned red and blue.
“Kuheheheng!”
Finally, he exploded.
“Tiger King Single Strike Kill!”
“Suwang’s gone crazy!”
“Run!”
Thud-a-da-da-da-dak!
“The Namman Brothers have all forfeited. Well, seeing Suwang hyung-nim, I don’t have high expectations. Let’s share opinions among ourselves.”
After the intense and spectacular battle ended.
Everyone gathered to share in celebrating the victory.
There’s the Namgung Jeonggeomdan who came to help from Anhui, and also warriors from the Beggar’s Sect who came as additional support from various places.
How can we just send them away?
We should at least feed them a meal and give them a drink.
So at Cheonjaeum, food is being prepared and seating is being arranged.
It takes time.
Meanwhile, Namgung Cheon-gang wanted to create a name for Sinchung Baekjeop as he had planned.
The place where the Namman Warriors voluntarily forfeited (?) and slipped away.
Who remains?
Namgung Yeong, Hwanggyeon, and Namgung Cheonggi who joined this time.
“Me, me! I thought of a good name, little brother!”
Hwanggyeon raises his hand brightly.
“I’ll give you the floor, hyung-nim. Please speak.”
“Originally, pet names often follow their appearance, right?”
“You’re not a beginner at raising pets, hyung-nim. You’ve hit the point very accurately. I’ll give you bonus points.”
“What good are points?”
“Just to make you feel good, you know.”
“Aha! I understand. Anyway, who am I? I’m Palgyelgae of the Beggar’s Sect and a future leader, aren’t I? I’ve raised and tasted countless creatures!”
Wait! ‘Tasted’?
I was about to reject it, but then I thought about the current historical background and the sect’s characteristics.
Martial Arts World, Beggar’s Sect.
I understand.
Rejection postponed.
“So, as a senior who has raised pets many times, I’d like to say, white as snow, so the character for snow !”
Oh!
As expected of a pet owner, very hyung-nim-like.
Wait, I was suspicious.
From the first character, it’s quite proper—
“Plump and appetizing, so the character for appetizing .”
Huh?
“Looks delicious, so the character for taste !”
“…”
“Put together, Seoltammi !”
“Interpreted, white, appetizingly delicious?”
“That’s right! Isn’t it a beautiful name that truly looks delicious? As expected of me!”
“…Rejected.”
“No, why!”
“No, who names a pet ‘looks delicious’! Try naming a stray cat Samsaekjeon because it looks tasty. Cat moms and dog moms nationwide will rise up!”
“Who are they! Who dares to challenge me, the future leader of the Beggar’s Sect—”
“The ladies of the Martial Arts World Cat Association and Dog Association.”
“Aha.”
(‧0‧): …
Sinchung Baekjeop is also dumbfounded, so that says it all.
“No, but still, isn’t it a really good name!?”
Hwanggyeon didn’t back down.
Namgung Cheon-gang looked at him intently, then answered with a confident voice.
“Beggars might get their heads cracked with ladles by the cat and dog association ladies while begging.”
The power of the Martial Arts Cat and Dog Association ladies is strong.
In a world where it’s hard to make a living for yourself.
Think about taking care of stray cats and stray dogs too.
Doesn’t that mean they’re capable?
“Kuk!”
As Palgyelgae, he cannot block the Beggar’s Sect’s livelihood.
Eventually, Hwanggyeon obediently retreated.
“Next candidate, please come in.”
“Namgung Cheonggi, leader of the Namgung Jeonggeomdan. Please treat me well, Young Master Namgung Cheon-gang.”
“Oh my! It was our Cheonggi hyung-nim! Oh dear, we agreed to be brothers in Anhui. I told you to speak comfortably.”
That’s right.
When distributing the Ungonghwa to the Namgung Jeonggeomdan, we agreed to be brothers.
I did speak formally during the blood letter fight, but that was chaotic.
“Ah right, that’s true. Haha, it just doesn’t stick to my tongue… Moreover, it feels like it’s been a while, and furthermore, since there was no explanation about such matters, someone might not know, so an explanation seemed necessary, little brother. Hahaha!”
“Jeonggi hyung-nim is also, sometimes you’re so random. Who’s listening and watching for explanations? Hahaha!”
“Right? Hahahaha!”
“Now, let’s move past the nonsense and quickly return to the main topic. So what’s the name you prepared?”
“White plus correct , plus insect . Thus, Baekjeongchung . Meaning to become a righteous white insect. I’d like to attach the Namgung name if I could, but that would require the Master’s permission. So, for now, Baekjeongchung would be the right choice.”
“…”
Did I trust my hyung-nims too much?
Why are all the names they’re coming up with like this?
One person sticks together all the strong animal names, another names it because it looks delicious.
Baekjeongchung at least has some humanity, but still not great.
Our Baekjeop isn’t the Namgung Jeonggeomdan mascot!
“Well… I’ll put it on hold for now.”
Since he had humanity, he didn’t reject it outright.
That was Namgung Cheon-gang’s best effort.
“Mm!”
Perhaps pleased that he wasn’t rejected like the previous two.
Namgung Cheonggi nodded satisfactorily and stepped back.
“…Sigh.”
A faint sigh could be heard.
Someone seemed to be speaking for him.
Namgung Cheon-gang immediately turned his head toward where the sigh came from.
It was Namgung Yeong.
When Namgung Cheon-gang looked at her, Namgung Yeong expressed her complicated feelings about the names that had come up and said.
“Let’s just go with Baekseol (White Snow).”
“…How wise of you.”
(´□`): Piii…
The Sinchung Baekjeop’s name, Baekseol, was chosen.
Bang bang.
* * *
The much-discussed naming contest for Sinchung Baekjeop, no, now Baekseol, had ended.
Just in time, the village feast preparations were also finished.
So what’s left?
Eating and drinking.
“Little brother, over here!”
“Come here! We saved you a spot!”
At the maid’s words that preparations were complete, I went to the village center.
There, Suwang and the Namman Warriors had already settled in and started their drinking party.
‘Good grief. When were they going to catch it again.’
It seemed they had secured a spot after seeing the feast preparations finish while catching and chasing.
‘Well, that’s good for me!’
No need to wander around looking for a seat, right?
“Oh my, brothers! Thank you! Then, I’ll join you!”
I hurried over and claimed the seat next to them.
Brother Hwanggyeon, Brother Namgung Cheonggi, Sister Namgung Yeong too.
Everyone had gathered before I knew it.
What followed.
“The alcohol goes in, the alcohol goes in, glug~ glug glug!”
“What kind of tune is that, little brother?”
“It’s a drinking game popular among young men and women in Anhui Province, Brother Hwang.”
“Aha! Huh, but why didn’t Gaebang know about it?”
“These days, if you don’t know this, you’re treated like an old man.”
“The alcohol goes in! The alcohol goes in! Glug, glug glug!”
Being told he’d be treated like an old man, his curiosity disappeared.
He immediately followed along well.
Whether in past life or present life.
Everyone wants to be the cool older brother.
“How long will you make me do shoulder dances~ Look at my shoulder~ It’s dislocated~”
“The alcohol goes in, the alcohol goes in! Glug glug glug! How long will you just stare blankly~”
Swaying shoulders, shaking heads.
Linking arms with those on either side, swaying back and forth.
Wow.
These brothers.
Once I taught them, they immediately used it quite well.
Especially, the most eye-catching one was definitely Brother Hwanggyeon.
He stood up abruptly, displaying flashy footwork using Drunken Eight Immortals.
His adaptability was killer too.
‘He’s instantly the life of the drinking party.’
Well.
Come to think of it, isn’t Gaebang martial arts perfect for being the life of drinking parties?
Brother Seong’s* drunken fist displayed at drinking parties.
Wow.
Who could beat this.
“How long!”
“Shoulder dance!”
Where was it just Namgung Cheon-gang’s spot.
The drinking party games from Namgung Cheon-gang’s past life spread like waves, and shoulder dances and tunes burst out everywhere.
Since they drank alcohol while suppressing their internal energy somewhat, they got a bit tipsy too.
With eyes pleased, ears pleased, hearts were pleased too.
“Alright!”
Namgung Cheon-gang couldn’t hold back and stood up abruptly, displaying Drunken Eight Immortals together with Brother Seong, no, Hwanggyeon.
“Ooh! Our little brother, your footwork is no joke?”
“I’m still far from you, brother!”
“Of course! Hahahaha!”
The two men’s drunken fist brightened the drinking party.
“Magnificent!”
“Our Nanman Beast Palace should also step to the rhythm!”
The Namman Warriors, not to be outdone.
Stood up abruptly and stepped to the rhythm.
A drinking party unfolded where everyone harmonized – no distinction between Namgung, Namman, Gaebang, or ordinary people.
Thus the drinking party grew and ripened.
Various stories were exchanged.
Someone cried loudly, someone laughed heartily.
That’s how drinking parties are.
Among them was the most interesting story.
“Confess!”
“That’s right, Suwang! We have to leave soon! How long will you keep it in your heart!”
“That’s not like Suwang!”
“Like cutting off Seo-heung’s neck, let’s go at once!”
“Groan…”
The story the Namman Warriors and Suwang were whispering about while huddled together.
When Namgung Cheon-gang went closer to listen, oh ho.
This is about Brother Suwang’s love story.
Is there any question who the target of confession is.
‘It’s Sister Namgung Yeong.’
He already showed it without reserve from their first meeting.
“That’s right, confess, brother!”
“Exactly. Who is Suwang! Be bold!”
Naturally sitting next to the Namman brothers to give encouragement, a voice could be heard.
When Namgung Cheon-gang turned around, Hwanggyeon was there.
Oh my.
When did this brother arrive?
‘Can I fall into romance talk?’
Hwanggyeon winked one eye and answered with his gaze.
‘Hmm. Right?’
Even the king can’t resist.
Anyway, like that.
“But, but what if we accidentally mess things up? I think maybe this current relationship is good enough. It might not be time yet.”
“Oh my, our brother. Why is someone as fierce as a tiger being so timid? Brother! In the Martial Arts World, there’s a saying called ‘waiting period dung.’ What does this mean? If you wait?”
“You turn to shit!”
“Exactly. The meaning is a bit crude, but what’s the true meaning!”
“If you wait, others will take it, and by then it’s too late to regret!”
“Exactly. So you must act when your heart is ready! Does anyone spoon-feed you for groaning and suffering? No! Nobody spoon-feeds you!”
“Self—”
“It’s said ‘one’s own fate, one ties oneself.’ Since one’s own relationships are formed by oneself. How could a man fear to form his own relationships?”
Oh my, what a surprise!
‘To suddenly interrupt while I was having a good conversation with Hwanggyeon brother!’
Who is it, I looked and?
Huh?
‘Namgung Cheonggi brother?’
When did this brother arrive?
As Namgung Cheon-gang stared blankly.
Namgung Cheonggi, having interrupted his words, looked at the bewildered Hwanggyeon and Namgung Cheon-gang and closed one eye.
Same meaning as Hwanggyeon.
‘Ah. Even the Righteous Sword leader brother can’t resist romance talk.’
Really, it’s true that even kings can’t resist.
“The way of men is to obtain one’s own fate. The duty of a man lies in obtaining his own relationships.”
“A man’s—”
“Duty!”
“Yes. That is a man’s duty. Therefore, Suwang, if you think of relationships, obtaining them is your duty. This Namgung Jeonggi asks you. Suwang, are you a true man?”
“Y-yes! Suwang is a true man!”
“Then, does a true man hesitate?”
“No! A true man is brave!”
“Then what do you fear? If you are a brave person who knows a man’s duty!”
Namgung Jeonggi falls silent.
Gulp.
The sound of swallowing dry saliva can be heard from various places.
Everyone’s gaze focused on him.
Namgung Jeonggi smiles gently.
He hands the liquor bottle in his hand to Suwang and continues speaking.
“Go. And seize it. Suwang’s steps. That will be the act of obtaining love.”
“…!!”
Suwang’s eyes widened.
To seize love with his own steps.
Truly there are no words more wonderful than this.
“Ooooh!”
“Well said!”
Clap clap clap!
The Nanman Warriors applauded.
Suwang’s widened eyes soon became resolute.
A tiger with determination.
He receives the liquor bottle Namgung Cheonggi handed him and drinks it all at once.
Then he stands up abruptly.
“I’m going. To seize it.”
He steps forward confidently.
“Suwang!”
“Magnificent!”
The Nanman Warriors followed behind him in a rush.
“Wow.”
Namgung Cheon-gang was dazed.
‘Cheonggi brother was this good with words?’
It’s crazy good.
Admiration comes naturally.
‘When properly educated people start talking, it’s no joke.’
Can this be learned?
No way.
It’s innate.
Look.
Even Hwanggyeon brother is looking at Namgung Cheonggi brother with widened eyes in surprise.
(‧0‧) : ….
Look how surprised even Baekseol is.
This is no joke.
‘…I must never let Cheonggi brother catch me in romance matters.’
I might get swept away and confess without knowing it….
“Hehe. That’s fortunate. We needed to establish friendly relations with those people anyway, so I feel good about helping.”
After sending off Suwang brother like that.
Namgung Cheonggi smiled with self-congratulation and said so.
Wondering what he meant, Namgung Cheon-gang stared at him.
“Ah, right. I needed to discuss this matter with Young Master Namgung Cheon-gang, no, with my younger brother, but I forgot.”
“Discuss? About establishing friendly relations with the Nanman brothers?”
“More precisely, it would be the Nanman Beast Palace.”
A clear voice suddenly rang out.
Turning around.
“Oh, Sister Namgung Cheonggi?”
“It’s been a while, little brother.”
Namgung Cheonggi was waving with a bright smile.
