6.

“A, a daughter. Then that young lady was caught up in the Bloodstained Sect’s rampage back then…?”

“That’s right. We found her dramatically.”

Ju Sohui’s expression darkened as she answered Eon Muhyeok. Her touch carefully wandered around my stomach area.

I felt Ju Sohui’s gaze and looked at Eon Muhyeok.

‘The rumors must have spread everywhere.’

If someone who appeared to be my age knew the situation, the Bloodstained Sect’s attack on the Peng Family must be quite famous.

Well, of course.

The Peng Family is one of the top five powerful families in the orthodox martial world.

If Ju Sohui, one of the Five Greatest Masters Under Heaven, was the matriarch of the Peng Family, then her lost daughter would naturally be well-known too.

The Eon Family was also a member of the Five Great Families.

Moreover, they were geographically close, so there would be even more exchanges.

“Congratulations. Our family members will also be very happy to hear this news.”

“It’s wonderful news.”

“Then is your visit to see the Grand Patriarch also to introduce the young lady?”

“Well. I’ll let you know about that matter gradually later.”

Eon Muhyeok nodded at Ju Sohui’s words and turned his gaze to me.

He offered his greetings.

“Congratulations on your return, Miss Peng. I am Muhyeok of the Eon Family.”

“Yes. Please take care of me.”

I nodded at him while clinging like a sloth.

Eon Muhyeok had a subtle expression, perhaps because a grown young woman was clinging to a mother who looked the same age.

“Why do you look like that?”

“Well… It’s nothing. Danzu has always been extremely devoted to her children.”

The fake child listening feels guilty.

The meal was starting to arrive, so I tugged at Ju Sohui’s sleeve to indicate I wanted to be put down.

However, Ju Sohui declared with a rather shameless face.

“Mother will feed you, so my baby just needs to stay in my arms.”

“What?”

“Pardon?”

My and Eon Muhyeok’s flustered voices overlapped. When our eyes met, he hurriedly turned his head away.

Hey there.

“No, Mother. No matter what, eating while being held is a bit…”

“Is there a problem?”

“If you eat lying down, it’s bad for digestion,”

“Oh my. I didn’t think of that.”

After several rounds of struggle, I was finally able to escape from her embrace.

“Ahem, let’s eat. I take pride in this inn’s cuisine being quite excellent.”

Meanwhile, Eon Muhyeok seemed to have decided to ignore Ju Sohui’s overly doting behavior. He blinked his handsome eyes and introduced me to Shanxi Region cuisine instead of the waiter.

What was Ju Sohui doing?

“Ah, here.”

“Mother.”

“Ah.”

“…Ah.”

She was deboning fish and putting it directly into my mouth.

The mystical art of Void Grasping, called the dream of all martial artists, had been reduced to a mere dining assistance tool.

Seeing this spectacle, Eon Muhyeok broke out in a cold sweat and finished his meal combatively.

“Then I, Eon Muhyeok of the Eon Family, will take my leave now. I hope you have a good time with the young lady, Danzu.”

He ran away.

What was that line even supposed to mean?

Anyone would think he was leaving behind lovers rather than mother and daughter.

‘That impudent fellow. Next time I see him, I’ll give him a good smack on the back of the head.’

While I was clicking my tongue, Ju Sohui had now laid me down and was cutting candied fruit into bite-sized pieces for me.

The sugar-preserved fruit was being cut into perfect bite-sized pieces in mid-air.

“You eat so well.”

Ju Sohui looked at me with honey-dripping eyes and pushed the next piece toward me before I had even finished chewing, but from my position, it was torture.

‘I wish she would stop.’

I had always been a light eater.

But after the possession, I had starved so often that stuffing myself with such rich food made me nauseous.

‘Most of all, I hate things that are too sweet…!’

Just before throwing up, I struggled through the child-spoiling hell and managed to shake my head. Ju Sohui, who had been feeding me candied fruit, looked at me with slightly shocked eyes.

“Why, doesn’t it taste good?”

“Ah, well, that is… I’m full enough now. If I eat too much, it’s bad for digestion.”

“…You’re right. Your body isn’t fully recovered yet, but this mother was too greedy and pushed you too hard again.”

Another landmine?

I had planned to escape with the same digestion excuse as before, but I had touched on something.

Watching Ju Sohui constantly digging tunnels into the ground was driving me crazy.

It seemed that nearly killing me right after our reunion had become a strong trauma for her. Every time I saw her overwhelming maternal love, it was dizzying.

Shouldn’t I repay her somehow?

Should I act cute like in the typical lost youngest daughter cliché? But according to that cliché, the other party should be a tyrant emperor or monster duke…

‘Wait. If you convert a tyrant emperor to martial arts terms, that’s a Heavenly Demon.’

And I already had a crazy Heavenly Demon foster mother who literally wanted to preserve her child like a specimen (reason: daughter is too pretty to preserve).

Come to think of it, the orthodox sect mother was much less burdensome. She was even my real mother!

I changed tactics and rubbed my palms together.

“It’s getting late, so let’s go to bed now, Mother.”

“Shall we? Then I’ll go to my room.”

“Should we sleep together?”

Ju Sohui, who had been getting up with a disappointed face, paused. She asked back in disbelief.

“Together?”

“Don’t mothers and daughters sometimes sleep together?”

“Just for tonight…” I added with a beaming smile, and Ju Sohui hurriedly pulled me into a tight embrace.

A parched tone flowed out.

“Yes. Let’s do that.”

* * *

Yellow Dragon Danzu, Sword Emperor Ju Sohui.

Or Princess Seoyeong.

She was born as the third daughter of Consort Lady Dang (5th rank), a concubine with one son and one daughter, in the majestic Imperial Court high above.

Some might raise a question here.

Lady Dang had one son and one daughter, so how could Ju Sohui be the third daughter?

Good question.

And the answer was simple.

“Princess, I have already lost five children in this Imperial Palace. Though the Princess and Prince still remain in my arms, when that wicked Empress and Crown Prince strike again, how can I, a mere consort, protect you both?”

“M, Mother.”

“I will become Empress.”

Lady Dang, who had lost three sons and two daughters to illness and assassination, entered the succession struggle with slim odds.

To make her last remaining son Ju Won the Crown Prince.

If she failed, Ju Sohui, who was the Prince’s sister, would certainly die as well.

“This is a secret manual I secretly took from the previous Emperor’s library. Take it, Princess. Take this and escape from this palace to blend into the martial world.”

So she gave the last remaining young princess a divine technique permitted only to imperial descendants and drove her into the martial world.

She couldn’t go to the House of Dang.

To escape the imperial palace without a trace, she, as an imperial descendant, had to feign death. Ju Sohui, who had entered a death-like state through the House of Dang’s poison, was now officially a ‘dead person.’

Thus began the young princess’s life in the Martial World, having grown up like a flower in a greenhouse.

Fortunately, she possessed unprecedented talent.

She mastered the imperial palace’s divine arts entirely through self-study, and upon meeting a master who recognized her talent, she soared endlessly high like a rising sun.

Simply a genius.

Her martial talent could be expressed in no other way. Lady Dang’s desperate choice to cast out her young daughter had been correct.

So when Lady Dang finally ascended to the position of Empress, she chose to remain in the Martial World when she went to see her mother.

Because she loved the Martial World.

Marrying the eldest son of the Peng Family was also part of that choice.

The sweet affection and domestic happiness she could never have tasted if she had lived only as a noble imperial descendant.

After her beloved children were born, her happiness grew even greater.

‘How could I be any happier than this?’

Her mother and brother had become extremely noble.

She too had survived.

Even gaining freedom in the process.

Ju Sohui believed herself to be tremendously fortunate.

“Urgent news! Madam, the young lady has…!”

Until her beloved youngest daughter disappeared.
