Episode 262: If there is no taste, you die.
Hwasun’s hands trembled with fear.
“If it doesn’t taste good, your life is as good as dead!”
The words that the man who brought me here said as he left the kitchen kept lingering in my ears.
When I was first dragged to Pungsu Mountain Villa, I never dreamed that the atmosphere would be like this. They say that the life of a businessman is to come when told to come and to leave when told to go, but I never thought that the atmosphere would be this grim.
And those words weren’t just a threat.
“Be careful. Two people died in this kitchen today.”
It was something Sibi had told her secretly while bringing ingredients to the kitchen. She was close to Hwasun. When she went out to buy groceries, Sibi would sometimes stop by the inn to buy noodles or dumplings. Every time, she would give him a lot of food so he could eat more.
“A scary master came to the mountain lodge, and because he was picky, he pulled out the tongue of the lodge master and killed him. The Bukhwachon master who was brought in later died an even more horrible death. What should I do?”
The sight of Sibi stamping her feet in fear seemed unfamiliar, as if it were someone else’s business.
Hwasun kept making mistakes while cooking. She sometimes added the wrong seasonings, and sometimes her hands would shake and drop the dishes.
I know how good the Bukhwachon master is at cooking. If his skills had not worked, then I would have been in the same situation. Would I really have killed him?
What if you die?
Her heart ached and her son’s face came to mind. She had missed him so much. It was time for him to come.
It was just then.
“mother!”
When she turned her head in surprise, her son was standing at the kitchen entrance.
“Hyun-ah! Is it Hyeon? Hyun-ah!”
She was so surprised that I was worried she might collapse.
Samho ran and hugged his mother.
“mother!”
“Hyun-ah!”
She hugged her son so tightly that she couldn’t say anything.
But soon she lowered her voice and said,
“Why are you here? Go away! Go to the inn and wait!”
“Mother, why are you like that?”
“Go quickly! I’ll tell you later, so go quickly.”
Hwasun’s only thought was that she had to send her son away somehow.
Unlike her, who was anxious, Samho calmly held her hand.
“Why are you so skinny?”
Over the past three years, my mother has aged so much. I could tell she has had a hard time.
Tears flowed from Hwasun’s eyes as she held her son’s hand. Even in her fear, she was so happy and glad to see her son. She was so happy that tears kept flowing.
When Samho saw his mother’s tears, he also shed tears.
“I’m sorry I haven’t been able to visit you often.”
“No. You must be tired from working. It’s okay, it’s okay. Okay, now that I’ve said goodbye, go and wait.”
Her mind was in a hurry. If she stayed here for no reason and caught the eyes of the people at the mountain lodge, she would be in big trouble.
“Go! Mom will cook for you later.”
Hwasun tried to force her son out. It was enough for her to see his face like this.
She knew that her son had joined the Demonic Cult, but she didn’t know what he was doing. She could only guess that he was going through all kinds of hardships to get his footing.
Then another group of people entered the kitchen. They were the swordsman and his colleagues from the day shift.
Hwasun was surprised, thinking that the mountain lodge’s unmanned staff had arrived.
“My son is here for a moment. He will be back soon. He is leaving.”
Then, Geommugeuk approached her with brisk strides and greeted her politely.
“Nice to meet you, Mother.”
Samho introduced the sword dance to the surprised Hwasun.
“This is the person I serve.”
Hwasun was surprised by the unexpected situation. Soon, she tried to bow to Geommugeuk. Geommugeuk quickly stopped her and grabbed her hand.
“It’s called Mugeuk. Please treat me like a son.”
The moment Hwasun saw the sword dance, her heart, which had been like a war zone, calmed down.
Perhaps it was because of his eyes. I’ve seen many people while doing business, but this was the first time I’d seen someone with such clear eyes.
I felt comforted and reassured. I was sure that I could trust and leave my son to someone who had eyes like this.
“Hello, my lord.”
She did not know the identity of the sword master, so she thought he was a prince served by her son.
“Please take good care of our son.”
“Thanks to my son, I am doing well. You have a wonderful son.”
“It is thanks to your good care. Thank you.”
This time, Samho introduced other colleagues.
“These are my colleagues.”
This time, the Red Smoke and the escort drones greeted her.
Jeokyeon spoke to her on behalf of the group.
“Because Hyun is so good, we get a lot of help.”
“Please take good care of my son.”
She felt sorry. What if they had met when things weren’t like this? She would have cooked for him and treated him to delicious food. This was the first time her son had brought a colleague.
‘We have to send him out quickly.’
I thought that if I was caught with several people, it could become a bigger problem. Not only my son, but also other people’s precious sons would be put in danger.
They were all so young. There were dozens of unmanned people at the Fengshui Mountain Villa, and on top of that, didn’t they say that a scary master had come?
“You go down to the guest house with Confucius. There is food in the kitchen that I can serve you. Take good care of it. Go quickly! Go quickly!”
Just then a man’s voice was heard outside.

“Is the food ready? I told you clearly. If it doesn’t taste good, your life will be… … .”
The unmanned person entering the kitchen flinched.
Inside, there were men lined up on both sides, looking at her.
“You, you guys, what are you?”
The man tried to pull out his sword, but his arm wouldn’t move. The demon’s blood had already been subdued.
‘When on earth?’
The swordsman approached him and put a friendly hand on his shoulder.
“If the food doesn’t taste good, you should die? Why?”
Although he asked in a friendly manner, the gaze of the swordsman was extremely cold.
“That, that… … .”
“No. You’ll know when you go and see him in person.”
Geommugeuk came to Hwasun and said.
“Mom, is the food ready?”
“But it’s cold so I think I need to reheat it.”
“It’s okay. I’m good at heating things up. I’m going to heat it up really hot today.”
The swordsman carried the food she had made on a tray.
And he gave orders to his escorts.
“Your mission today is to protect your mother. Each of you must protect your parents with the same heart.”
Samho and the other escorts stood in a line around Hwasun. It was the formal formation of six men escorting one person.
The sword dance kicked the buttocks of the warrior who was being subdued by the demon spirit.
“let’s go.”
Before he knew it, Muin had lost his magic power. Muin stepped forward, frightened by the amazing martial arts of the swordsman.
‘Just go out to places with lots of people!’
The unmanned group took the lead, followed by a swordsman carrying a tray.
Again, six escort drones walked behind Hwasun, surrounding her.
Hwasun was still anxious, but her son was there with a strong expression to reassure her. She didn’t know how this situation was going, but it felt so good to see her son like this. She prayed and prayed that things would end well today.
There were many uninhabited mountain lodges in the wide front yard.
The unmanned vehicle in front looked at them and nodded.
‘What are you doing? Come here and subdue these guys!’
But something amazing happened. The passing drones and the drones running towards us all froze like stone statues.
Before they knew it, they too had been subdued by demon blood and blood clots.
The unmanned vehicle in front was astonished.
‘You subdue them by carrying a tray? How?’
It was as if poison was spreading through the air. The moment the eyes of the swordsman and the swordsman met, the blood and blood were subdued. Whether it was a distant uninhabited island or a nearby uninhabited island, Gosu Island or a sewer, no one was exempt.
“ah!”
The guards, including Red Yeon, gasped in amazement at the amazing sight unfolding before their eyes. They had heard rumors that the martial arts of the Little Sect leader surpassed those of the Demon Lord, but they had not expected it to be this great.
So they entered the building and headed towards the residence of the owner of Pungsu Mountain Lodge.
The guards in front of his room also stopped for a moment. One of them was about to say, “What are you guys?” but stopped, leaving his mouth open, and the guard next to him opened his eyes but stopped, making a strange appearance.
In the room, two people were talking.
Blood-handed sword was sitting on the top seat. He had committed all sorts of evil deeds, but he was already a person who had been listed in the Murim Alliance as a martial arts public figure.
The person sitting across from me was Lee Eom, the owner of Pungsu Mountain Lodge.
“No matter what, it’s too much to ask.”
“Not only Honam Jeilpyoguk, but all the Pyosaurs of the Central Plains will think of me as their enemy. Shouldn’t my share be bigger?”
“Didn’t we agree to divide it into three parts from the beginning?”
“I think it’s not fair. You and that guy sit in the corner and each get a third.”
“I am the one who provided information about this incident.”
“Then I’ll give him less of his share.”
“How can you say something like that knowing who that person is?”
“Then I don’t know who I am and am doing this?”
Lee Eom sighed inwardly. This is why you shouldn’t join hands with these guys.
He strongly opposed it, but the person persisted, and in the end, this is what happened. Perhaps he had anticipated this situation. Since his share would not be taken away anyway, he was telling him to handle it as he pleased.
At that moment, the door opened and Geommugeuk came inside.
Since the sword dance did not reveal any prayers, the two thought of him as a servant who brought food.
The swordsman placed the food on the table.
The blood sword spoke to the sword master.
“Just wait a moment.”
Hyulsoogeom picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food.
“Whew!”
I immediately spat out what was in my mouth onto the floor.
At that sight, Lee Eom frowned. It wasn’t because the food didn’t taste good that he had already brutally killed two of his servants. He was pressuring himself. If you fail, he could kill you like this. He was demanding more money.
Since Hyeolsu Sword was one level ahead in terms of martial arts skills, Lee Eom had no choice but to suffer this humiliation. However, the reason he couldn’t act recklessly was because of that person.
But I can’t give in. If I did what he wanted, I wouldn’t have gotten anything out of this dangerous thing. After all, I was the one who figured out that this was a major undertaking that only happens once every few years.
“Who made this?”
“This is a dish made by Madame Hwa.”
“Where is she now?”
“It’s outside the door.”
“Tell them to come in right now!”
“Why are you doing that?”
“I should pull out my tongue since I made such a tasteless dish. What good would it do to have such a useless tongue?”
As Geommugeuk turned his head to the door, the door opened as if it had been waiting.
Hwasun was standing in the hallway in front of the door. And there were three guards standing on each side of her. The ones in the front were Jeokyeon and Samho.
The Blood Swordsmen thought they were the unmanned Feng Shui Villa.
So he looked at Eom and said.
“What are you trying to do now?”
Yi-eom couldn’t understand what was going on. Didn’t he give the order to protect that woman? And when he looked closely, he realized that they weren’t his people.
At that time, Lee Eom saw the pattern on Jeokyeon’s chest.
‘What about that pattern? Surely not?’
Yi-eom was nervous inside. There was only one organization in this martial arts world that used the evil spirit as its symbol. And I heard that ordinary people couldn’t use that symbol, only the elite could.
‘Did that guy send it? But why are you protecting that woman?’
Lee Eom’s head was in confusion.
What would surprise him was from now on.
Geommugeuk picked up new chopsticks and ate the food.
“It’s so delicious? Is there something wrong with your tongue?”
Bloodstain was so absurd that he couldn’t help but laugh. People wouldn’t suddenly go crazy, so he figured that this was something that Yi-eom had ordered him to do.
“What are you doing!”
The blood sword shouted at Buruk Yi-eom.
Lee Eom silently looked at the sword dance and observed its expression.
Geommugeuk looked at the blood sword and spoke coldly.
“Try it again.”
“Uh, the baby of this crazy guy!”
Just when the Blood Sword was about to cut down the Sword Dance Theater.
The sword dance truly revealed its magic. The huge magic was crushing Lee Eom.
‘Ugh!’
The bloodthirsty sword couldn’t move a single finger.
‘What is this? Eeeeek!’
This was the first time I had experienced such a terrible magic. I couldn’t breathe because of the pressure of the Taishan Mountain. I was really scared that I might suffocate. A master like me could die from prayer alone? It seemed ridiculous, but it was happening right now.
He had lived his whole life without fear, but at this moment, he felt the fear of death. He was not the type of person who would be discouraged even if the opponent was a mine. Now, he could not even dare to face this young opponent.
At that time, the oppressive magic energy decreased slightly.
“Eat it again.”
Unable to disobey his words, the Blood Sword ate the food.
“… …It’s delicious.”
“Why are you telling me that? You should tell the person who cooked it for you.”
The blood sword turned its head and looked at Hwasun.
“It was delicious.”
At that time, Geommugeuk said.
“again!”
This time I said it politely.
“It’s delicious, Madam Hwa.”
Geommugeuk smiled and said to Hwasun.
“It was delicious.”
Hwasun nodded her head once with a trembling heart.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll go talk to these people for a moment and then I’ll go out.”
The door closed and the guards led Hwasun away to the end of the hallway.
At the very moment the door closed.
Kwak!
Geommugeuk stabbed the chopsticks he was holding into Hyeolsugeom’s forehead.
The blood sword fell over and hit its head on the table, dying.
Yi-eom was so surprised that he thought his heart would burst out of his mouth. He didn’t know if he could kill the Blood Sword with just one move, or if he could kill it. He didn’t even look at the man sitting next to him before stabbing him in.
He was a bloodthirsty swordsman who had committed all sorts of evil deeds and survived. It was shocking that he was killed with chopsticks without saying a word.
“You decided to divide the stolen goods into three parts?”
“I’ll give it all up! Take my share too!”
“Who is the one left?”
Lee Eom said in a trembling voice.
“Didn’t he send it? To monopolize this?”
“I asked who that person was.”
When Lee Eom hesitated to answer, wondering what the situation was, Geommu-geuk picked up the remaining chopsticks. There was no need to threaten her by poking her cheek or forehead.
As soon as I saw it disappear from the forehead of the blood sword, the chopsticks could not hold out.
“This is the head of the household!”
Now I understand why Geommu-geuk misunderstood that he had sent me.
“I am Yeo So-gwang, the leader of the Honam branch of the Cheonmasingyo Church!”
