< Side Story Episode 2 Baek Hye-hyang’s Story (1) >
A blood religion in Lingshan, Guangxi Province, just 15 days ago.
An irritated sigh came from the cult leader’s office in the religious cult’s headquarters building.
“ha.”
Baek Hye-hyang rested her chin on the desk as she looked at the pile of reports.
Isn’t this the position of religious leader that I had longed for?
However, nothing has changed at all from the time of the vice principal.
Rather, work increased.
‘Damn it.’
Since the cult leader was the final decision maker for all approvals, no matter how many decisions were made, the reports piled up endlessly.
As I look at the endless documents, I feel annoyed.
During the reign of the head of the sect, nobles and blood saints still helped, but now, with the sect’s heyday reaching its heyday even more than during the war between the sects, everyone has become busier.
‘Just because the area is wide doesn’t mean it’s good.’
It was no exaggeration to say that most of the area south of the Yangtze River was the territory of the blood religion.
As a result, there was too much work.
‘I shouldn’t have taken it when it was handed over.’
I felt a bit dazed at the time, but there was no reason to refuse the position I was given.
But now that this has happened, I feel like I was deceived without knowing why.
‘Samayoung, I need to quickly resolve things with that kid and the ice girl.’
It’s hard to find time, let alone practice martial arts.
While I was boiling over, I heard a knock on the office door.
-smart!
– Cult leader.
“come in.”
She immediately recognized who it was just by their presence.
Those who came inside were Dojangho, a blood-letting person, and Seogalma, a Nanmadō priest who was originally a second-zone but was pushed down to a triple-zone when the strange monster Haeak-cheon crossed the wall.
The two men were holding a bunch of new reports in their hands.
‘………’
Baek Hye-hyang, who discovered it, spoke in a cold voice.
“get out.”
“yes?”
They told me to come in and then told me to leave before I could report, so the two people couldn’t hide their embarrassment.
Baek Hye-hyang, who was staring at them, spoke nervously.
“it’s annoying.”
“…….I guess processing payments is very boring.”
Dojangho, a bloodletting person, said as he placed the report on the desk.
Baek Hye-hyang snorted and answered.
“Just say something. “I can’t leave my office.”
After the Inyo War, which was called a crisis in the central plains, the martial arts world became quiet.
I don’t know how long this structure will be maintained, but it is no exaggeration to say that the current era of martial arts is a time of peace.
Deep down, what she wanted was a bloody war.
Rather than lying comfortably in a warm room with a needle cut, I wanted to be in a battlefield where a fierce fight takes place, but in reality, I am only standing and touching in my office.
“If you’re feeling really stuffy, how about getting some air for a while?”
“Do you think it will be satisfied in a short time?”
“…….”
The bloodletting Dojangho kept his mouth shut at her uncomfortable words.
It was because I thought that if I touched it further, something bad might happen to Baek Hye-hyang’s personality.
Seeing Baek Hye-hyang like this, Nanmadoje Seogalma cautiously opened his mouth.
“……Hmm. “That cult leader.”
“Why are you doing that? “Three Zones?”
“I just received some news.”
Baek Hye-hyang said, raising one eyebrow.
“What kind of news are you so concerned about? Could it be that something went wrong while the child was being treated?”
Baek Ryeon-ha, who was addicted to phantom poison, was being treated by Mansa God.
The person named Seo-bok, who had golden eyes, was also in bad condition, but in the case of Baek Ryeon-ha, she had heard that the poison that had affected her brain and bone marrow had been left unattended for too long, and that there might be no hope for her, so she was secretly concerned.
“That’s not it.”
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.
“Then what are you doing this for?”
“Hmm… It is said that Sima Ying Xiaojie has reappointed.”
‘!!!’
When Baek Hye-hyang heard those words, her expression instantly hardened.
It was completely unexpected news.
Who would have known that we would have children before we even got married?
Baek Hye-hyang muttered as if it was absurd.
“Ha… He pretended not to be interested in that, but he tasted Unhwi before me.”
“Hmm.”
Seogalma cleared his throat at her bold words.
She said without paying any attention to this.

“Is it to solidify one’s position?”
Baek Hye-hyang shook her head.
Originally, he tried to reach an agreement with Sima Ying after the Inyo War ended.
However, after being entrusted with the position of religious leader, he became busy, so he postponed it, and in the end, Sima Ying took over.
Since she had a child first, her position as first wife was almost guaranteed.
“Tch.”
If this happens, it will be different from the plan.
Originally, Baek Hye-hyang tried to take Unhwi first as soon as she had free time.
It seems that Yunhui clearly likes him, but compared to when he was dealing with Sima Ying, he clearly seemed to have a strangely difficult time with him.
So I tried to get to bed faster than Sima Yong, but he had already crossed the water.
The first wife was definitely Sima Yong.
‘My pride is crushed.’
She liked being number one in everything.
For a man who likes the leader of a religious cult, it would be a blow to his pride if he was not the first one.
But is it possible?
I heard you have already resigned.
At that time, something suddenly passed through Baek Hye-hyang’s mind.
‘…If this continues, you won’t be pushed out by that ice bitch, will you?’
It was a story with plenty of potential.
Unlike herself, who was confined to her office, wasn’t she close to Unhwi?
It was noticeable that Unhwi had not completely opened up yet, so they thought they could decide up or down among themselves, but in this case, they couldn’t figure out the situation.
“This is quite annoying.”
“yes? “What is that?”
“That bitch who looks white. “I left Unhwi’s younger sister, Yeongyeong, to continue working, but I don’t know if the player will be taken away from me again.”
It was quite possible.
Unhwi cares for his younger sister, Yeongyeong.
If Seolbaek received such full support from Yeongyeong, he might easily lose his second place.
It was no longer something to leisurely watch.
Baek Hye-hyang quickly got up from her seat.
“Cult leader?”
“I have to have Unhwi’s child first.”
“Cluck cluck.”
“Huh.”
The two elders could not hide their embarrassment at her outspoken words.
She was clearly different from ordinary women.
No matter how low-level people are, she is probably the only great person who would say something like this openly.
“Good. “Sama Ying, if that baby has just conceived, I just have to have the baby first, right?”
At her words, Seogalma said, “Oh my God,” and touched her forehead.
Although he was an outstanding martial artist, he was overshadowed by his qualities as the leader of a religious cult, but he was quite naive on the outside.
There was no one to teach her these things, so how could she know?
Baek Hye-hyang, wondering if she really wanted to go to Unhwi right away, gave an order to Dojangho, a bloodletting person.
“Do Jang-ho. “As my representative for a while, you will approve all reports except for higher-level approval plans…”
“Cult leader. Please calm down first.”
In response to Seogalma’s dissuasion, she raised one eyebrow and said.
“What do you mean calm down?”
“Hmm. A religious leader…resigning from office is not something that can be done out of nowhere. Isn’t it? Bloodletting?”
“……That’s right.”
Dojangho answered awkwardly.
Although he is now treated as the head, Dojangho treated the Baekga sisters, the children of the pre-Jeontai religious leader, as if they were nephews.
So, it was really embarrassing to tell her this.
On the other hand, Seogalma was serious.
‘If the leader says something, do it.’
Baek Hye-hyang, whom he watched, had the personality to always accomplish what she set out to do.
Therefore, I thought it was even more necessary to dissuade them.
If she, who has just ascended to the top of the religious leader, commits such an act and starts resigning abruptly, it will be a huge hindrance to her ability to lead the religious faith in the future.
‘It looks like you really like it a lot.’
Every time I saw her, I found this very surprising.
I was curious as to what kind of bond there was between the two that made a woman as self-indulgent and self-indulgent as Baek Hye-hyang so obsessed with Jin Woon-hwi.
“So you’re telling me to just watch?”
Seogalma said to her, who was feeling uncomfortable.
“…Why don’t you change your method?”
“method?”
“Didn’t the leader tell you? “The Empress of Binghan is working behind the scenes by Su Yingying’s side.”
Baek Hye-hyang, who seemed ready to leave at his words, sat down again.
And then he asked with an expression of interest.
“Then, does the Samjon have any other tricks?”
In response to Baek Hye-hyang’s serious question, Seo Galma handed over one of the reports.
It was not an approval report, but literally a report for sending messages.
When Baek Hye-hyang read this, a strange look appeared in her eyes.
Seogalma spoke to her.
“An eye for an eye. Isn’t this a tooth for a tooth? Even so, it is said that the matchless lord is heading to Hunan Province, so if you first make a mark and be recognized by the person who will become your father-in-law…..”
I carefully blurted out my backstory.
This was because he was not sure whether Baek Hye-hyang, who had strong pride, would accept this.
As expected, Baek Hye-hyang’s face became shocked.
“My father-in-law…”
It seems that he did not pay any attention to Jin Seong-baek, the heartless wind god who would become his father-in-law.
Seogalma, who had as much experience as he had lived, gave advice in a gentle tone.
“Exchanging feelings may be something between lovers, but once you get married, it becomes a family affair from then on. “The matchless lord will be a great help to the sect leader.”
After thinking about his words for a while, she made a decision.
“good. Then, I will adopt the three nobles’ trick.”
‘……Cult leader. Please leave out the comment about it being a silver bullet.’
When he said that, I felt like it was just a ploy.
I was embarrassed to see my subordinate, the bloodletting Dojangho.
* * *
The perspective returns to 15 days later.
“I came to you because I had some business for you, Lord of the Musou Castle…”
Seogalma quickly stopped Baek Hye-hyang, who was about to speak in her usual arrogant tone.
And whispered softly in my ear.
“Sect leader… Anyway, if you are going to be my father-in-law, shouldn’t you show a certain level of courtesy?”
“Uhm…..”
At this, Baek Hye-hyang’s impression became strangely distorted.
She learned from Iljon Yudangang that a religious leader must always have dignity and arrogance.
So, since I was young, I have never been able to properly treat anyone with respect.
Wasn’t she the one who spoke comfortably even to Jin Woon-hwi, the head of the former sect, in private?
‘That’s cringy.’
She was feeling something strange.
Even though I just thought about having luck, I never thought about this situation.
Anyway, what Samjon Seogalma said made sense.
Baek Hye-hyang hesitated and said to Jin Seong-baek, thinking that something was unfamiliar.
“Ah, father!”
‘!?’
For a moment, Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon were dumbfounded.
They could not have even imagined that such words would come out of the mouth of Baek Hye-hyang, the current leader of the Blood Cult.
Jin Seong-baek, who was dazed for a moment, parted his lips.
“……Blood cult leader. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Seongju.”
Jin Seong-baek was not sure if what he understood was correct.
Baek Hye-hyang’s face got hotter at his words and her face became redder, so she opened her mouth.
“It’s just as you heard. No, it’s the same.”
“Is it just as you heard?”
Baek Hye-hyang’s mind turned white at his puzzled words.
As soon as I said “father,” I felt like I was cringing and couldn’t even tell what to say.
To her, Seogalma gave her advice.
[It seems that the Lord of Unmatched Castle does not know the exact relationship between the former leader and the other sect leader. How about talking about that first?]
Baek Hye-hyang frowned at this advice.
Explaining things in detail was not her style.
I thought it would be better to speak as myself.
She hesitated, but then she knelt down on one knee towards Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon, grabbed her arms, and spoke.
“father! “Give me your son!”
‘!?’
Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon were once again dumbfounded by her confident request.
‘no?’
Seogalma could not bear to raise her head as her words went one step further than advice.
Although it was her thing, I felt like those two people would be very embarrassed.
Of course, it was as expected.
“Look. “Son-in-law…are my ears wrong?”
“……I don’t think so.”
It was a different shock than when Jin Woon-hwi said he had become a blood demon.
It was a situation where the new head of a blood religion offered to become her daughter-in-law.
Baek Hye-hyang, who was worried as if she felt something was lacking in the reaction of the two people who seemed more embarrassed than surprised, spoke up.
“If you give me your son, I will not have a drop of blood on my hands.”
‘…….?’
