Chapter 206

“Master!”

I picked up a piece of meat and placed it on Master’s plate.

“How is the feast I prepared? It’s gotten a bit cold, but it’s still good, right?”

Since I had sent away the cooks and waitresses along with the Martial Arts Alliance warriors when they left, there was no hot food, but there were still many dishes remaining on the table.

“It’s very delicious! Haha!”

Master smiled so widely his face seemed to split every time I served food onto his plate.

Just a moment ago in the cabin, I had given another long speech about people who live day to day.

Then unexpectedly, Master readily accepted it, saying ‘Oh my, Master was short-sighted.’

But even so, did he really think it was truly wrong?

Originally, Cheonma was not one to apologize to anyone.

He was just being patient because his disciple was cute to him.

So now it was time for me to work hard at being charming.

“Master.”

“Yes.”

“I went to Shaolin Temple and even took the Dae Hwan Dan! You know about Dae Hwan Dan, right Master?”

I started with the Shaolin Temple story while looking for things to boast about from this martial arts world journey.

“Thanks to that, I gained Buddhist power! It’s all thanks to Young Master teaching me a mental technique using Gyeong-oe Gi-hyeol. Hehe.”

At my words, Master glanced sideways at Eok I-geon sitting beside him.

Eok I-geon clearly knew this but just silently drank his tea.

“So that’s how Cheon-sin-mun became a secular sect of Podallap Palace Esoteric Sect?”

As expected, he knew everything.

“Tsk!”

Master clicked his tongue as if displeased.

Honestly, from Master’s perspective, it was understandable.

Podallap Palace was neither orthodox nor unorthodox, at best just an outside Buddhist force.

Naturally, compared to Cheonma Sect, he would see it as insignificant.

“A demon should act like a demon! You should exude demonic energy!”

He was clearly very bothered by the Buddhist energy emanating from me and Eok I-geon.

But it’s not completely Buddhist though.

It’s demon-Buddhist energy…

“Cheonma, stop talking nonsense!”

While I couldn’t say anything and was just watching Master’s mood, Bandit Grandfather stepped forward.

“Even I, as Ho Jeon, am not free in my actions because of being called Seopa and whatnot, so if our granddaughter had wandered around emanating demonic energy, would she have survived well!”

“That’s right! Moreover, my daughter and Seolha’s grandmother is a special agent of the Martial Arts Alliance! When she deserves praise, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?”

“…Did you just call my words nonsense?”

Drrrrrr!

Master’s demonic energy surged again. The dishes on the table shook violently as if they would burst at any moment.

Thinking this would lead to trouble, I slammed both hands on the table and jumped up from my seat.

“Master!”

In moments of crisis, changing the subject is the best strategy.

“I’ve improved tremendously in martial arts! Would you like to spar with me tomorrow?”

“Oh, is that so?”

Master’s fierce expression changed like spring sunshine as if nothing had happened.

“Have you had much real combat experience?”

“Of course! You’ll probably be amazed when you see tomorrow!”

“Hehe, I’m looking forward to it. How much our disciple’s skills have improved.”

Master looked at me with a pleased expression as if he found me praiseworthy.

“I learned hidden weapons too, so you should be careful. Hihi!”

I bragged in an excited voice while pretending to throw feather needles.

“I wanted to learn poison techniques too if possible. Yap yap yap!”

I grinned while imagining myself magnificently spreading poison palm techniques.

“What? What did you learn?”

Master’s face hardened coldly again.

Gasp!

This mouth of mine was being foolish.

Why mention hidden weapons at this timing!

“I learned just a tiny taste following Grandmother. This turned out to be quite useful…”

I tried to give Master the most charming eye-smile I could manage.

How about it, couldn’t you let it slide just this once?

Not knowing my inner thoughts, Eok Grandfather spoke up.

“I taught my great-granddaughter some of the Dang Family’s martial arts. She has very good skills, resembling someone.”

“Resembling whom. Seolha’s mother had exceptional talent from a young age.”

‘Sigh, even Grandpa Tak…’

What are you going to do if Master gets angry again, why do you keep doing this?

‘Right! There was the Pung Hon Dan!’

“Ah, that’s right! Master, Grandpa Tak gave me Pung Hon Dan so my internal energy is now thirty years’ worth. Amazing, right!”

At times like this, making Master dizzy was also one method.

I held up three fingers in front of Master and bragged.

“I was just about to ask about that.”

Fortunately, Master seemed to show interest.

“Our granddaughter.”

That’s when Bandit Grandfather interrupted.

“If you need spiritual medicine, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“…What?”

“Should I give you some Three Immortals Nine Leaf Vermillion Fruit?”

Three Immortals Nine Leaf Vermillion Fruit… you mean that natural spiritual medicine?

“No, how about Five Elements Snow Orchid?”

This was also a naturally occurring spiritual medicine said to contain the energy of the five elements.

“Let me see, how many roots of Thousand Year Stone Ginseng do I have?”

Whoa!

You have all of those?

Just eating what you’ve listed would easily surpass forty years and then some, wouldn’t it?

I looked at Bandit Grandfather again, overwhelmed by emotion.

I’ll be filial to you from now on.

“Well I’ll be! Look at this person? Do you really have all of that?”

“If you can’t confirm it right away, don’t just blurt out whatever comes to mind!”

“You shouldn’t lie to your granddaughter!”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying!”

Eok Grandfather and Grandpa Tak scolded Bandit Grandfather in unison.

At times like this, I really get confused whether their relationship is good or bad.

“Do I have to present it right before your eyes for you to believe it? Tsk tsk, being so ignorant. Originally, everything good for the body is in the mountains!”

Bandit Grandfather, who had been shouting triumphantly, suddenly clapped his hands as if remembering something.

“That’s right! I had forgotten about that!”

Then he looked straight at me, his eyes full of confidence.

Even without hearing it, this was going to be amazing.

I’m getting a feeling.

What is it?

What is it, Grandfather?

I’m getting dizzy, so please tell me quickly.

“Demon King Grass . Grandfather happens to have that!”

“Gasp!”

I was so shocked that my body trembled violently.

Demon King Grass was a spiritual herb filled with demonic energy, making it a heavenly elixir for demons.

Most ordinary spiritual medicines contained yang energy, yin energy, or rarely even death energy.

In comparison, spiritual medicines containing demonic energy were almost nonexistent.

“What!”

“D-Demon King Grass!”

I heard Cheon-gang and Seo-ryeon, who had been quietly keeping their places since Master appeared, exclaim in surprise.

Even Master and Eok I-geon looked shocked.

“Grandfather…”

Such a precious thing.

Such a difficult thing to obtain.

You’re giving it to me, who you just made your granddaughter.

“I thought it was useless all this time and shoved it in the warehouse, but it seems the mountain spirit blessed us so our granddaughter could eat it.”

Bandit Grandfather’s back straightened proudly.

“Our granddaughter, shall this grandfather give you one Demon King Grass?”

“Can I really take it?”

“Of course! If our granddaughter wants it, this grandfather can give you anything!”

“Oh, Grandfather!”

I felt the familial bond sprouting amidst the exchange of spiritual medicines and rushed into Bandit Grandfather’s arms.

“Come here, our granddaughter!”

Just as Bandit Grandfather spread his arms to embrace me!

Grab!

Someone caught the back of my neck.

“You’ll get sick if you eat just anything.”

It was Master.

Master lightly sat me back in my original place as I struggled.

“But it’s Demon King Grass… that’s not just anything, is it?”

“How can you be certain it’s Demon King Grass?”

As I timidly protested, Eok Grandfather approached Master and raised his voice.

“As a poison expert who handles poisonous herbs, I absolutely cannot just sit and listen to this! If you mishandle a spiritual herb, it could cause great harm! You must know that spiritual herbs can become either poison or medicine depending on how they’re used!”

“I completely agree.”

Grandpa Tak had somehow appeared beside Eok Grandfather and was nodding his head.

“We must protect our granddaughter!”

“Indeed!”

“Let’s not do the ignorant thing of feeding her just anything recklessly!”

The two of them get along remarkably well.

What are they planning to do if it really is Demon King Grass?

“In any case, Ho Jeon, listen well.”

Master spoke to Bandit Grandfather like a warning.

“Seolha is my disciple, but before that, she’s like a daughter to me. Therefore, without my permission, you must not carelessly give her anything. Do you understand?”

“You have that dark son right beside you, so what’s this sudden daughter talk?”

Master responded to Bandit Grandfather’s retort without a moment’s hesitation.

“I don’t need such a son!”

M-Master!

Even so, to say that with Eok I-geon right beside you…

‘Hmm.’

He’s fine.

Seeing Eok I-geon still calmly drinking tea without even a hint of reaction made me feel relieved, but also made me wonder if they were truly father and son.

“And one more thing, there’s a saying about married daughters being outsiders.”

“Married daughters being outsiders?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I-geon!”

Master didn’t answer and suddenly called for Eok I-geon.

Of course, Eok I-geon didn’t budge even though he was right beside him.

Only after Cheon-gang urgently whispered in his ear did he reluctantly turn his head toward his father with an annoyed expression.

“Let’s arrange an engagement between you and Seolha first!”

What?

What did you say?

Arrange what?

Master?

Wait a minute!

Unlike me, who was too shocked to continue speaking, Eok I-geon confidently stood up and responded.

“I will follow Father’s words as you command.”
