Chapter 61

Chirp! Chirp!

Finally, morning had dawned.

Eok I-geon, who had spent the night sitting cross-legged on the bed in meditation, slowly opened his closed eyes.

In fact, he hadn’t slept a wink for over ten days.

After breaking out of Majungcheon’s stone chamber, he had run all the way to Wuhan without resting even once.

Nevertheless, not a trace of fatigue could be felt on Eok I-geon’s face. It meant that his level had grown significantly once again, to a degree that was difficult to estimate.

‘Seolha still has a long way to go before waking up.’

The sound of Seolha sleeping peacefully came from the room right next door.

When the image of Seolha sleeping soundly came to mind, a gentle smile formed on Eok I-geon’s lips.

She had completely fallen into deep sleep and probably wouldn’t wake up until lunchtime.

‘Did I torment her too much last night?’

He felt slightly sorry belatedly, but Eok I-geon couldn’t help it either.

How many men could remain sane when faced with their beloved whom they had reunited with after more than ten years?

So he greedily took Seolha’s lips.

Previously, when he lost control and rushed at her, Seolha would stop him on her own.

But yesterday she didn’t do that.

He couldn’t tell whether it was because Seolha also wanted him, or because he had completely lost his mind and couldn’t remember.

That’s how abnormal he was yesterday.

Even knowing that Seolha was struggling, he couldn’t let her go in the end and showered kisses all over her face.

He couldn’t bear not kissing Seolha as she called his name with a flushed face, breathless.

If they hadn’t had the shield of clothing between them, yesterday they really would have crossed the line.

But he had to keep his promise that there would be no babies until after marriage.

‘Damn old geezers!’

It was only because he endured with superhuman patience, but honestly, he desperately wanted to forget about promises and everything else.

She’s his beloved!

They’re promised to each other in marriage!

They’re about to hold the wedding ceremony soon!

Such trivial temptations wouldn’t leave his mind.

Though he was confident in enduring and being patient with anything, that didn’t apply to Seolha at all.

Mine.

Only mine.

Seolha, who had suddenly come to him as a variable one day when he was detached from everything in the world, was now the only thing that belonged to him that he couldn’t do without.

‘If I had known I wouldn’t see her until lunchtime, I wouldn’t have let her go so obediently yesterday.’

Unfortunately, Seolha, who couldn’t practice internal energy cultivation due to the Blood Demon Mountain, needed time to recover from fatigue.

And Eok I-geon was quite displeased with that.

He thought about going to her room to at least watch Seolha sleep, but he couldn’t do that because of those damn old geezers.

‘Since it’s come to this, I might as well check on those guys.’

From early morning, there were people moving busily on the first floor of the inn. He could tell without even looking that they were the Bongwang-dae.

Eok I-geon slowly got up, both to wait for Seolha and to inspect the skills of the Bongwang-dae.

“Miss is quite late today, isn’t she?”

“She’s not usually one to sleep in.”

“She must have overexerted herself yesterday.”

“Well, she did handle Tam-rang with just Buddhist martial arts, so it must have been tiring.”

“Let’s eat first among ourselves.”

Since they had rented out the entire inn, the first floor dining hall contained only the Bongwang-dae members, the cooks preparing food in the kitchen, and the waitress.

Thanks to the cooks who had quickly figured out the Bongwang-dae members’ appetites, a feast was soon laid out in the dining hall.

Just as they were about to bring the food to their mouths.

Step, step.

Someone came down from the upper floor, emanating an ominous atmosphere.

“Young Master, you’ve come.”

The owner of the footsteps was Eok I-geon, the second prince of the Demonic Sect.

The Bongwang-dae immediately stood up from their seats and bowed respectfully.

“Are you not part of the Bongwang-dae?”

Eok I-geon, who had acknowledged their greeting with a nod, sat in an empty seat and stared straight ahead. Across from him sat Eok Hwi-gyeom, still pouting with a clearly sulky expression.

“Has my younger brother become deaf in the meantime? Your older brother is speaking but there’s no response?”

Seeing Eok I-geon’s eyes turn coldly, Yang Ha-rin nudged Eok Hwi-gyeom’s arm.

‘Say something before your brother loses it!’

Yang Ha-rin disliked Eok I-geon just as much, but apart from that, she also knew that his personality was incredibly nasty.

If things didn’t go his way, he was the type to destroy anyone, brother or not.

“…Yes, I’m also. Bongwang-dae.”

Yang Ha-rin felt relieved seeing Eok Hwi-gyeom reluctantly open his mouth.

‘At times like this, we need Sister Seolha here.’

Her heart was anxious.

“So, is it manageable?”

“Pardon?”

“I’m asking if the Bongwang-dae is manageable.”

“…It’s interesting.”

“Then that’s settled.”

“…That’s it? I ran away on my own, aren’t you going to scold me?”

Actually, Eok Hwi-gyeom was glad to see Eok I-geon but was also somewhat nervous.

Since he had stubbornly joined the Bongwang-dae on his own, he was also prepared to be scolded.

But what was this reaction?

Was his second older brother finally acknowledging him?

“Why would I bother?”

“…?”

“Won’t Father leave you alone?”

“…If, if he won’t leave me alone?”

Eok Hwi-gyeom was quite a good son. Since he had never caused any real trouble growing up, he had no idea how his father, Cheonma, would react.

“Hmm, still, since you’re Cheonma’s son, he can’t put you in Gumaok. You’ll probably end up going to Manma Geukryeonbang.”

“Ma, Manma Geukryeonbang?”

Manma Geukryeonbang was a place where the demons of the Cheonma Sect underwent extreme trials.

That place, which was like a comprehensive collection of everything in the Demonic Sect, consisted of eighteen rooms boasting extremely difficult challenges.

Therefore, very few people managed to pass through Manma Geukryeonbang to the end.

Most gave up midway, and there were also those who died while greedily trying to advance further.

A place where any demon could challenge, but only the strong could survive.

Manma Geukryeonbang was such a place.

“Come on, even so. Surely he wouldn’t send his youngest son to Manma Geukryeonbang?”

When Yang Ha-rin interjected saying it was ridiculous, Eok I-geon’s gaze turned to her.

‘Eek, scary!’

He only had a handsome face, but Yang Ha-rin had been getting weak in the knees whenever she made eye contact with Eok I-geon.

“That guy’s older brother went there three times, I think. Well, he didn’t seem to learn much from it though.”

“Bi, big brother?”

Though he fell short compared to Eok I-geon, Eok Wi-baek’s skills were also above average. If such a brother couldn’t pass through, it was hopeless for Eok Hwi-gyeom.

“Aaaah!”

Withdrawing his indifferent gaze from his younger brother who was screaming and despairing, Eok I-geon looked around at the Bongwang-dae.

“Five women and… as many as five men.”

That fact displeased him greatly, and his expression naturally soured.

Yu-un, who had connections with him, was reassuring, but the other guys could be problematic.

Because Seolha, who was so precious in his eyes, couldn’t possibly not be precious to these guys as well.

Moreover, men were all creatures who lived with vulgar imaginations.

‘If such a thing were to happen by any chance….’

It was when an inexplicable killing intent began flowing from Eok I-geon toward the Phoenix Corps.

“Young Master!”

Seolha, who had gotten up at some point, came flying down the stairs.

A fair face bathed in morning sunlight.

A bright smile filling her lips.

A flawless being who somehow made one thirsty just by looking at her.

Eok I-geon’s expression softened at Seolha’s appearance.

Not only that.

Even the surrounding air subtly changed.

The cold-bloodedness that seemed like it wouldn’t bleed even if stabbed had disappeared without a trace.

There was only a man who gazed up at Seolha alone.

Of course, this difference was so subtle that one had to look closely to notice it.

“Did you wait long?”

A dizzyingly fragrant scent wafted from Seolha.

It seemed she had bathed in the morning.

“Did you eat breakfast already?”

Seolha’s lips were slightly swollen as she asked again.

Even though they had kissed so much yesterday, desire arose once more.

‘If I could just take one bite….’

He already knew through experience that it would be sweeter than honey.

“Were you all eating together?”

When Seolha turned her head, her cute, upturned nose was revealed.

Remembering the expression Seolha made when he bit that nose, it felt like a hot lump was being swallowed down his throat.

Somehow, he felt like he was gradually going crazy.

It was fortunate that it didn’t seem entirely bad.

“Young Master, what are you thinking about so deeply?”

Before he knew it, Seolha had approached right in front of him. Then she squinted her eyes and said solemnly.

“You’re thinking about wanting noodles and dumplings right now, aren’t you?”

…Huh?

“You can’t have noodles from the morning!”

Seolha waved her finger left and right.

“We haven’t met in a while, so let’s eat something better. Okay?”

“Alright, then….”

He was about to say let’s have whatever you want to eat, but Seolha was a bit faster.

“Rice balls are no good either!”

The way she pursed her lips in a circle was just like a squirrel.

While muttering something about three meals and such.

Seolha sometimes used words he didn’t know, but to Eok I-geon, she was simply lovely.

“Understood. Today let’s eat what you want.”

“Really?”

Excited Seolha grinned widely and linked arms with him.

The words “let’s skip food and eat later” rose up to his throat.

Groooooow―

Kuooooooo―

From the top of the stairs, two pairs of fierce energy shot toward Eok I-geon.

‘Really, if it weren’t for Seolha….’

Eok I-geon carved the character for patience once again today.

He brainwashed himself that they were people Seolha liked.

Deflecting the two old men’s energy so she wouldn’t notice, Eok I-geon took Jeong-in and went outside the inn.

Today he planned to be alone with just the two of them from morning until evening.
