Episode 214
“Just like that.”
“… … “It’s just that I think I asked that question for a good reason.”
Asking if you have a girlfriend.
It’s a common phrase, but what Woohee said here and now is ‘I’m interested in you.’ So, there was room for it to be interpreted as meaning ‘Do you have a girlfriend?’
in other words.
‘… … ‘Is this something called NTR?’
The story gives the impression that Jinhyeok is trying to take Woohee, the woman from Gil-dong.
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“I’m not interested in other people’s women.”
“I don’t have one either.”
“… … “Then what on earth did you mean by saying that?”
When he saw Gil-dong, who had been looking at him like a romantic enemy, sighing, Jin-hyuk wanted to punch him in the back of the head, but held it in with superhuman patience and asked again.
He’s not even in love with me, but he’s asking me if I have a girlfriend.
It definitely had some purpose.
“… … “Seeing Gil-dong staring intently at me, I have no choice but to say something.”
“Yes, I have never even thought about taking someone else’s wife. But it’s a little unfair to be falsely accused.”
“That’s not what you asked in the first place?”
“Think of it like that.”
“Whoa… … “The reason I asked is because of Hyerin.”
“… … Hyerin?”
It was a somewhat familiar name.
Jinhyuk slowly pondered the name Woohee said.
But before Jinhyuk could think of the name, Gildong next to him threw himself into a fit and screamed.
“Why is Hyerin’s story suddenly coming up, Woohee!”
“Because she deserves to be loved too.”
“Oh, I know who it is. Kang Hye-rin, the descendant of Kangrim Doryeong, whom Gildong dumped. Am I right?”
“I didn’t fill it! “I just choose Woohee-”
“That’s cold, idiot.”
“… … I don’t mean to… … “There wasn’t-”
“Be quiet, so what, if I don’t have a girlfriend, are you trying to introduce me to her?”
Woohee calmly nodded in response to Jinhyuk’s question, ignoring Gildong’s grumbling words next to him and covering his mouth.
“I knew a little about your abilities because Gildong often told me about them. Of course, there are still many things I don’t know, so I’ll have to ask more, but the moment I heard what Gil-dong said, you came to mind as a suitable match for Hye-rin.”
“What is my will?”
“… … Of course, that’s the most important thing. But I definitely thought they would get along well, and even now that I’ve met them once, that thought hasn’t changed.”
When Woo-hee calmly said that he would act as a matchmaker, Gil-dong became restless and wandered around between Jin-hyuk and Woo-hee.
“I’m going crazy, so stay still.”
“Just stay still.”
“… … “It’s just me.”
In the end, I stopped doing it only after hearing a word from both people.
After looking around the quiet surroundings, Jinhyeok sighed and asked.
“Why on earth would you want to set up a relationship with a man you’ve never met before and someone you already know? Do you have any ill feelings towards that woman? “I’m not a very good man or person.”
Jinhyuk knew his subject well.
He also knew very well that his current relationship was of no use or value to him as he moved forward for revenge.
Jinhyuk’s running would continue, not only at this moment but also in the future, because the women around him were willing to join his cause.
Additionally, his personality was not good enough, especially considering the thorny path he would walk down the road ahead.
But Woohee firmly shook her head.
“no. Hyerin and I have been very close since we were young, and that remains the same even now.”
“Then why do you want to befriend this piece of shit?”
Jinhyuk did not like this situation to the point where he described himself as a piece of shit without hesitation.
That feeling that tries to force oneself to be with someone.
Jinhyeok knew very well what kind of thorny path the person he would end up with would walk, so he wanted to reject it and asked why.
“Your abilities. “Because the ability to manipulate spirits suits Hye-rin very well.”
What came back was Woohee’s answer, which clearly showed his desire to strongly entangle himself with a woman he had never met named Kang Hye-rin.
“What on earth does that have to do with me?”
However, it was difficult to change Jinhyuk’s mind with that, and Jinhyuk was finally about to vent his frustration.
“The ability to manipulate spirits.”
“… … !”
“Isn’t it strangely similar to your abilities? “And that too with the ability of Taoist arts.”
Woohee’s next words silenced Jinhyuk.
The ability to manipulate spirits.
A person with an ability that I have never encountered before while climbing the tower.
Furthermore, someone who uses it as a Taoist technique.
Jinhyuk had no choice but to fall into deep worry.
“… … What do you mean?”
“Regardless of whether you and Hyerin are dating or not, Hyerin will be a great help in creating your own magic. “I ask you to please feel free to meet me just once.”
As if to put an end to Jinhyuk’s worries, Woohee added one more word.
Creation of a new Taoist technique.

In the end, Jinhyuk had no choice but to nod his head at the words that clearly penetrated Jinhyeok’s intentions as he worked hard to create his own magic.
“I emphasize this, but we are only meeting.”
“That’s enough. “I just need you to comfort Hye-rin’s heart, which was hurt by me and her Gil-dong, just a little bit.”
Jinhyuk only emphasizes the ‘meeting’ itself with a stern face, and Woohee smiles brightly and nods.
It was a moment when our goals coincided.
“… … Ha, this is why I shouldn’t have a conversation with a woman who has a snake inside her.”
“Even if it’s a snake, wouldn’t it be different if it were a helpful snake?”
Woohee, who was expressionless but occasionally smiled, approached Jinhyuk like a snake.
In fact, Woo-hee achieved what she wanted, and Jin-hyuk also took the opportunity to gain insight into the magic of manipulating the soul, although it was difficult.
Allowing others to achieve what they want on their own.
It really couldn’t help but look like a snake.
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and said.
“She really is like a Taoist woman. I don’t know. I can’t tell. “Gil-dong, you must be going through a lot of trouble, yes.”
Jeon Woo-hee.
Her family is the family of Jeon Woo-chi, who was once called a master of illusions and is now a transcendent being.
Jeon Woo-chi’s descendant, Woo-hee, is also a Taoist and hermit who has reached a certain level of illusion.
In other words, saying that it was like her magic was tantamount to saying that it was difficult to properly distinguish between lies and truth, like magic.
Jinhyuk expressed his condolences to Gildong, who had to spend his whole life with the snarky Woohee.
“… … .”
“Gil-dong, why aren’t you talking? Do you think your married life with me is a struggle? really?”
Woohee opened his eyes and asked Gildong, who had his mouth firmly shut with a stiff expression on his face, as if he had also sensed the future.
The choice Gildong made, his face white and tired in the face of the baptism, was a question that pierced him like a needle.
“… … “Chuck!”
green onion –
It was a run away.
“Did you run away?”
“Gil-dong has been like that since he was young. When he was at a disadvantage, he would quickly run away using wind jutsu… … “It reminds me of the old days and it’s nice.”
“… … Isn’t there something wrong with my education when I was young? And right now, I’m using my immortal ability to escape.”
“If you just learn how to run away, you can avoid dying, right?”
“Looking at it like this, it seems like you two get along really well. “It’s a match made in heaven.”
“And Hyerin and Jinhyuk will definitely do the same.”
“… … .”
Jinhyeok, who was hit hard by the teasing words, had no choice but to keep his mouth shut like a mute who was just fed up with honey.
Woohee lightened the mood by laughing at the sight of Jinhyeok, who ended up keeping his mouth shut with a heartbroken look on his face as he gave and received words in return.
“I’m not asking you to meet right now, and I don’t want to force you to go beyond meeting.”
“Does someone like that keep blowing air?”
“Well, it’s because the organizer’s mind is tilted to one side.”
“It’s an unfair match.”
“Maybe so. But I don’t want to give up, either for Hye-rin or Jin-hyuk. “On one hand, he is an old friend, and on the other hand, he is the benefactor who saved my fiancé’s life.”
“… … “It feels a little strange to suddenly speak so seriously.”
Jinhyuk looked at Woohee, who spoke with a serious face, as if she was unfamiliar, then sighed and nodded.
“If downstream people find out, they might try to kill you.”
“Downstream… … It’s a pretty name. But didn’t you say you’re dating anyone?”
downstream.
It was Jinhyuk who had said that name for the first time in a long time.
In addition, Woohee tilted her head at the woman’s name that suddenly appeared, thinking it was a pretty name.
Jinhyuk clearly said that he was not dating anyone, and that was why he pushed for a confrontation.
However, he nodded and agreed to what Jinhyuk continued.
“Even if we’re not dating, I never said there’s no one who has feelings for me.”
“… … “Is it unrequited love?”
“That’s it… … I don’t know either. “I can only infer that that might be the case.”
“Ah, did you say something like that?”
“… … Where on earth did you learn to say that? “He looks like a gentleman from a noble family-”
“Even if you are from a noble family, you are very interested in external culture.”
“Tsk.”
Jinhyuk, who eventually raised the white flag against Woohee, who did not give up even a word, clicked his tongue and stopped talking.
Looking at Jinhyeok, who expressed that he did not want to talk about this anymore, Woohee covered the corner of his mouth and let out a soft laugh.
“As expected, I thought about you since I heard from Gil-dong, but Jin-hyuk is a fun person.”
“You wouldn’t be able to say that if you met me as an enemy.”
“I’m just saying that because we won’t ever meet again.”
“Thank you for your confirmation. “I don’t want to turn you into an enemy either.”
He answered that he would not turn himself and Yeokcheon into enemies, at least not for the entire Yuldo Kingdom, but for Woohee and her family.
Only after hearing that did Jinhyuk feel relieved.
‘Illusion has great effects on the majority, not the few. If she and her family participate in a war and meet as enemies… … ‘It’s terrible.’
Perhaps we would face the worst situation where colleagues would not recognize each other and would swing their weapons at each other.
However, even though there are groups within Yuldo Kingdom that are against him, two of the three largest and most influential families have announced that they will support him.
Of course, Gil-dong’s brothers and sisters did not welcome Jin-hyuk very much, but-
‘Gil-dong’s brothers may be dangerous, but they are useless anyway. ‘This is enough.’
They decided that Jinhyeok was useless anyway.
‘If you show your teeth to me, I’ll just grind them down.’
On the contrary, Jinhyuk was eagerly hoping that they would show their teeth.
Only then will you be able to wipe out those who envy you.
“Then, can we stop talking about the confrontation with Hye-rin and take the time to get to know Jin-hyuk from now on?”
“I hope you do.”
Talking about one’s abilities is something that most climbers are reluctant to do, and Jinhyeok was not only reluctant, but hated it.
However, the story of Jin-hyuk’s confrontation with Hye-rin, whom he had not even seen, left Jin-hyuk devastated, to the point where he wished she would talk about her abilities.
Even though it was for his own growth, Jinhyeok was quite reluctant to meet others in the name of conflict.
“Then, can you tell me about Jinhyuk? “I heard that he had various abilities other than controlling spirits.”
“Beyond variety, I can be said to have the talent to handle all abilities and reach their peak.”
“… … That’s kind of surprising. Could it be that he gathered his magical power extremely quickly?”
“It’s an extension of him. As I said before, I can learn anything at a fast pace and have the ability to reach the peak of any ability.”
“Incredible!”
The ability to handle all abilities and give talents that will reach their peak.
All Masters.
That could be said to be the source of Jinhyeok.
“Now that I think about it, I heard that there is a small being that eats up the demons that have taken up residence at the entrance to Yuldo Kingdom. Who is he? “He came here and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him. Is he a shikigami or a summoned beast or something?”
Woohee, who heard about All Master’s abilities, frowned with a small expression on his face, but soon revealed his curiosity about Tam.
It was quite natural to be curious about Tam, who had blocked the entrance to Yuldo Country for a long time and was erasing, little by little, the things that had tried to contaminate the entire country.
“Come out, Tom.”
-Krraa!
“oh.”
Jinhyuk took out Tom without saying anything.
Because it is more certain to show something once than to say it a hundred times.
Woohee was both surprised and amazed by Tam’s appearance the size of a large dog, which appeared with a small roar.
Tam’s body, pulsing with purple-black spiritual power, was a strange sight to Woohee, and the source of Tam that appeared in Jinhyeok’s body was also a subject of curiosity.
But even for a moment.
“ear… … Cute.”
“… … under?”
[The greedy dragon says she is right.]
[The greedy dragon rolls around on the floor in joy!]
Jinhyuk burst into laughter at the sight of Woohee looking at Tam with a blushing face.
It was natural for Jinhyuk to be dumbfounded to see someone who had always looked like a snobbish person show the appearance of such an ordinary woman.
“… … “Can I touch it?”
“… … do whatever you want.”
When Woohee asked if it was okay to pet Tom anymore, Jinhyuk responded that she could do whatever she wanted.
When stroking Tam’s fluffy body made of spiritual energy.
“I’m truly sorry.”
“What else?”
“… … “What does he eat?”
Jinhyeok, who was looking at Woohee with a puzzled expression who was now even trying to give him food, eventually sighed and told Tam what he liked.
“I like anything that has energy. I think Seongi will like it especially since he has never fed it before. “The strength will also be similar.”
“… … thank you.”
He left behind the sight of Woohee blushing and raising her sword and spirit, as if she knew she was embarrassed.
Jinhyuk overlapped Woohee’s appearance with the image he once saw on Earth.
‘It’s similar to the women who gave cat food to cats at a cat cafe.’
People’s habit of wanting to give something to eat when they see something cute, like the Earth or a tower, didn’t seem to change.
So, Woohee forgot to ask about Jinhyeok and flirted with Tam for a long time, showering him with power and good energy.
“Bubu bubu bubu!”
-… … Wow!
Having fun while farting in your stomach was a bonus.
Of course, Tom, who was the target, let out a painful scream.
[The greedy dragon looks at you with a faint gaze.]
The person watching also felt the same way and watched Tam and Woohee’s prank.
“You guys are having a good time.”
Only Jinhyuk, who was watching it all, could only sigh and quench his thirst by lifting the teacup in front of him.
