89.

“Wooooooaaaaaah!”

I was flying through the sky.

“It’s an airplane! An airplane!”

“If you don’t want to fall, hold on tight.”

“Gasp! That won’t do!”

That’s right.

The privilege of Hyeongyeong masters, aerial traversal.

Using the mysteries of void stepping, we reached our destination in an instant with thrilling flight.

The result.

A distance that would take me at least two weeks even if I ran desperately using Danhaebichu, Gong Haelyeong broke through in an instant with the flying techniques of aerial traversal.

In just four days, we reached Seomun Port at the southernmost tip of Guangdong.

Even considering my physical condition, Gong Haelyeong landed intermittently for rest, slept well at night, and leisurely ate hearty meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even late-night snacks – that journey took four days.

“If you flew at full power, how long would it take from Suoguan to Seomun Port?”

“Two days would be enough. Though I’d be a bit tired that way.”

Unlike void stepping, aerial traversal is specialized for long-distance travel like Danhaebichu.

‘…If Haegui, who’s in the lower-middle ranks of the Ten Great Masters, is this fast, then what about Namgung Rin?’

Compared to Cheonma, she’s slightly slower.

That means the higher the rank within Hyeongyeong, the more they evolve from a single-person light aircraft to a jet plane.

If Namgung Rin is at the Saengsa-gyeong level, then even crossing the Chinese continent from end to end – over ten thousand li – would be faster than expected.

For reference, the east-west distance of China’s territory is about 5,200km.

From Incheon to Paris by plane is about 10,000 kilometers, meaning she could traverse a terrifying distance of nearly half that in one go.

Chilling.

No, really.

Just how much of a monster is she?

“But don’t you cross the sea using aerial traversal?”

“From here to Haenam by sea route isn’t that far anyway. There’s no need to endure the salty sea breeze and fly there with difficulty.”

I was somewhat surprised by Gong Haelyeong’s words.

“Was aerial traversal difficult? It seemed comfortable to me.”

“Wouldn’t you get tired if you kept running with Danhaebichu for days on end?”

“You’re right.”

I was convinced.

Even Hyeongyeong masters can fly, but there’s apparently some driving(?) fatigue involved. Those cool hero landings in movies might require more advanced skills than expected.

“Get down.”

Plop.

Thanks to Gong Haelyeong’s consideration, the sword slowly touched the ground.

Actually, it was more like a flying superboard than a sword. For two people to stand and ride on it, that length and width was necessary for stability.

“Whoa.”

As soon as I set foot in Seomun Port, a blatant salty smell brushed my nostrils.

Whoooosh.

The cool and damp sea breeze characteristic of the first lunar month swept through my hair.

When I touched it with my fingers, my entire head was already sticky. I sighed while touching my face and hair, which had become tacky with salt, and Ju Sohui’s blue robe.

“I wish someone would give me a good scrubbing since I’m so limp and droopy.”

“Ha! This young one is already asking for care. Should this old woman do it for you?”

“Really?”

At my sincere gaze, Gong Haelyeong clicked her tongue with cold eyes.

“Wash yourself.”

“Waaah.”

If it were Ju Sohui, she would have washed me.

…Of course, I wouldn’t have asked Ju Sohui to wash me in the first place.

I have some conscience, after all.

“Let’s have a bowl of wonton noodles before we go.”

Seeing me drooping, Gong Haelyeong suggested in a somewhat softened tone.

Despite everything, she’s secretly weak to me. She must really like Ju Sohui.

‘She said she’s unmarried?’

Having a cute daughter who looks just like her beloved disciple chattering beside her in her old age would definitely be adorable.

“Yes!”

I grinned and headed toward a small tavern with a sign bearing the character for sea .

Unlike Ju Sohui who enjoys everything luxuriously, Gong Haelyeong had a surprisingly modest side. I heard that before gaining fame, she lived ordinarily in a small village in Haenam – childhood habits really do influence a person’s entire life.

In that case, it’s inevitable that I, living as Pengdori, would painfully long for the modern conveniences I enjoyed until two years ago.

“Daughter, let’s eat chicken today!”

After a long time – no, actually thinking of my mother from time to time – I became a bit melancholy.

When I was young, my mother always gave me two chicken legs. When I got a bit older, I realized it was annoying so we ate one each, and not long after, combo sets appeared and our household’s small chicken leg competition came to an end.

The reason I’m telling this story is.

“Aren’t you eating?”

“Huh?”

“Eat it before it gets cold.”

“Ah, yes! Got it. Hehe…”

Seeing the grilled chicken dish that came with the wonton noodles reminded me of my mother.

“Even though we’re by the sea, there’s chicken too.”

“Just because people live by the sea doesn’t mean they have to eat only seafood all day. Especially for warriors or growing children like you, meat is necessary.”

“My growth plates are closed.”

“Just eat quietly.”

“Yes.”

Nom nom nom.

I started eating one chicken leg and wonton noodles with shrimp dumplings.

Noodle strands floated on the remaining broth. To be honest, shrimp wonton noodles really weren’t to my taste.

“If it doesn’t suit your palate, you don’t have to force yourself to eat it.”

Seeing me picking at my food, Gong Haelyeong casually spoke and pushed over one of her chicken legs.

“…Why are you crying?”

“Salt got in my eyes! Sob sob sob!”

As I whined and sniffled, Gong Haelyeong stared at me for a moment.

Then she said.

“You should endure that much.”

“Hmph.”

Still, the chicken legs were delicious.

Getting two chicken legs from one chicken instead of a combo – it had probably been a very long time since I had such a meal with someone.

Excluding Ju Sohui.

When eating with Ju Sohui, there were so many chickens we couldn’t even finish that it was closer to food torture than receiving generosity.

Though that too would be love.

“Please take care!”

When we finished our meal, everyone from the tavern’s waiter to the man who appeared to be the owner gathered and bowed in unison.

Even though her robe was rolled up and wrapped in cloth during flight to prevent it from flying away, they still recognized her.

But it wasn’t as boisterous as in Suoguan. Gong Haelyeong nodded familiarly, then left the tavern without even paying.

…Eating without paying?

“What are you doing? Come along.”

“What about the food bill?”

“Namhae Tavern is mine.”

“Ah.”

So she was a chain store owner.

I see.

“Master, have you arrived?”

As she approached the largest and finest-looking ship at Seomun Port without hesitation, a sailor working nearby bowed respectfully to her.

Judging by the color of his robe, he seemed to be a disciple of the Haenam Sect as well. The deep green robe mixed with a subtle blue hue, making the wave patterns at the bottom particularly prominent.

“And Master Ju as well!”

“No, I’m Pengdori.”

Second year of living as Pengdori.

I had completely adapted to the name I once grumbled about. I introduced myself in a much calmer tone than before.

“The Sword Master is my mother.”

“Ah…! My apologies. I am Gu Hancheol, a disciple of Haenam. Please treat me well, Master Peng.”

It’s quite embarrassing to be called Master in front of Hyeongyeong.

However, Gu Hancheol, who introduced himself as a disciple, had martial prowess roughly at the early Chojejung level.

Hmm.

Even considering his role as a working officer as the ship’s captain (presumably), his level was lower than mine. I nodded and returned the martial salute.

“Please treat me well.”

“Then I’ll board the ship with Dori. Come up to report when everyone has boarded.”

“Yes, understood!”

Gong Haelyeong naturally gave orders to her disciple and strode up onto the deck.

Following her aboard, the sea smell was even stronger than at the port, mixed with the musty scent of wet wood. I quickly leaped up onto the deck.

‘Is that Haenam over there?’

The outline of an island was visible beyond the hazy fog. How much time had passed as I leaned against the railing? The disciple who had finished reporting the boarding to Gong Haelyeong left his post.

Then the ship departed.

=The sea breeze is cold. I’m going inside, so Miss can stay out here in the cold.

“Hmph, suit yourself.”
