Runaway 4
-Tsururut! Tsurururut!
“Our Bin must have been really upset with Dad. Okay, then stop and go with Mom. I’ll sleep with Mom today. It’s getting dark.”
[Little Dragon, I’ll try to appease you. Right now, no matter what Little Dragon says, it seems like it’ll be hard to solve.]
Bin-i, who was running around, was eventually taken away by Hwa-eun, who heard the news from Chang-ryong.
Because I was so mad at myself that I couldn’t even remember being mad at Hwa-eun.
-Tch!
Bin, who made a ‘thud!’ sound as if saying ‘Huh!’, climbed onto his mother’s shoulder, turned his head, and disappeared in an instant.
The place where the storm called Bin passed.
There was only one man left who had lost his mind.
No. With six poisons.
Because the first one to shed its skin and dry its body, the incense that followed Hwa-eun, Seol-i and Bing-i, as well as Yo-hwa and Bicheon Shin-sa, were left behind.
I blankly stared at the rising moon and then asked the monk next to me in a cautious voice.
“That… I’m not suspicious of you, but… Surely you’re not hiding something else?”
-Char?
“That’s what I’m talking about.”
-Shaaaaa!
Then, the lowly gentleman shook his head furiously with a startled expression on his face.
I felt like the guy was thinking that there was no such thing as an inner self and that there could be no inner self.
I haven’t even registered the guy yet.
“No, I believe it too, but… I’m just saying this because my circumstances are urgent. You saw Bin get angry. He’s doing this because he wants to grab onto even a straw.”
-Char. Char.
The guy would have been even angrier than Bin if he had been robbed twice, but since he had watched everything from the beginning to the end, he looked at me with pitying eyes and nodded as if he understood what I meant.
‘This guy’s personality might not be as bad as I thought?’
When I thought that the guy’s personality wasn’t as bad as I thought, I remembered that I hadn’t given him a name.
And the fact that we didn’t even check whether they would live with us.
“Oh, by the way. Have you decided?”
-Char?
The guy tilts his head when asked if he has decided.
“I mean, living with us. As I said last time, there are a lot of animals in the mountains that eat you, like hedgehogs. I won’t treat you badly, even though I’ve been treating you badly so far. It won’t be bad to listen to other kids’ stories.”
As I said this, the guy looked at the poisons peering at him through the open lid, and the other poisons started talking to him as if they were salesmen.
-Kiss! Kissishishishi. Kissii.
-Kuk kuk kuk! Kuk kuk!
A guy who makes a surprised expression as if he understands what you say and opens his eyes wide.
After a while, the guy nodded cautiously.
-Char···.
If negotiations have concluded to live together, there is no need to lock them up.
There are demons and stone statues next to me, so where would I run if I ran away?
He pretended to be a big fan, opened his pockets and reached out to the guy.
Because nothing instills trust like freedom.
-Char!?
Then the guy flinches and steps back.
“You said we were going to live together. You’re going to take me out.”
-Shaaaaa!?
I nodded and answered because I felt like he was asking me if I could believe the words of a poisonous creature so easily.
“We can’t just lock ourselves in a Korean restaurant anymore. This is how we’ve always been.”
Let’s take out the slightly floating guy and put him on the floor. Only then can he fully see the appearance of his other friends.
When I smiled, the guy curled up and bowed his head in greeting.
‘What do you mean, ‘please take care of me?’
I greeted him and said to him,
“Yes, I ask you to take care of me too. Let’s get along well, you, the gentleman of heaven. Oh, by the way, I guess I should give you a name first. I can’t call you the gentleman of heaven without a name forever. I should give you a proper name first. What should I name you?”
Although Bin-yi was still full of thoughts in his head, he decided to comfort Bin-yi later and give him a name first, Bicheon Shinsa.
As Hwa-eun said, it seemed difficult to resolve the issue even if she went to Bin now, and she couldn’t leave the Bicheon Shrine without a name.
Now that he’s completely become our family, shouldn’t he have a proper name?
“First of all, since it’s called the Twenty-Four Heavens, the Heaven must be included… If it’s a male, should I say Ilcheon (一天) since it means the first heaven? Oh no, but are you a male or female? Should I take a look at your genitals?”
Thinking about the guy’s name, I don’t even know the guy’s gender.
As I was wondering if I should take a look at the guy’s genitals, the guy shouted with a surprised expression.
-Shayaaaah!
“You were a female?”
It seems like it’s a female, as it looks a bit shy.
The guy nodded to my question.
It is the first of the twenty-four Dokji, and since it has a position of Cheon, I was thinking of naming it Ilcheon, but that would be difficult.
If it’s a female, it should have a cute name.
I rolled my head.
‘This guy has a pretty emerald-colored mane, so if you change the color emerald into Chinese characters, it’s Yeondu (軟豆)··· Yeondu? Oh yeah, that name is nice!’
The name Yeondu came to mind as I thought about it.
I asked the guy what he thought.
“How about the name Yeondu? Your mane is a very pretty light green, so Yeondu. What do you think? I think it’s very beautiful. I think it goes very well with the blue scales?”

If you pronounce Yeondu in the Central Plains style, it is Randow.
The guy who heard my pronunciation twisted his body around as if embarrassed, then seemed to think for a moment and quickly nodded.
-Shaaaaa!
I feel like I like it.
“Okay, now your name is Yeondoo.”
So the name of the Heavenly God was decided to be Yeondu, and after thinking about it for a moment, I realized I had forgotten to include the character for Heaven.
In the first of the twenty-four poisons, it says that it is the heavenly one among the heavenly and earthly mysteries, so you cannot leave out the heavenly one.
It means the sky above the head of the twenty-four dogs, so it would be a shame if this was left out.
“Oh, I forgot to put the character ‘天’ in my name. Should I just call you by your last name? Let me see. Then, I’ll put the character ‘天’ in my name, so it’ll be Cheon Yeon Du… Huh?”
I thought I put a lot of thought into naming it, but as I was naming it, I ended up using the word smallpox.
Yeondoo nodded without knowing anything and liked it.
-Shaaaaa!
In the Central Plains, this terrible infectious disease, smallpox, is called Cheonhwa (天花).
‘Well, well, this is the Central Plains. It’s just me who’s weird, everyone else will think it’s a good name.’
“That, that’s right, Yeondoo. Normally, let’s just call her Yeondoo.”
So the name of the god of heaven became Yeondoo, or rather, Smallpox.
***
The next day, I tried to cheer Bin up, but I couldn’t even try.
Because something big was waiting for us.
As soon as Hwa-eun and Seol-nu’s movements became possible, the decision to travel was made.
Although my wounds weren’t completely healed, I had no choice but to go since the two of us had to go.
“It’s our mission, but I’m sorry to have to entrust it to you. Your Majesty, Mandokshin.”
Geombong bowed his head with an apologetic expression, handing Mandokshingun a piece of paper covered in dried blood on the bed.
Geombong and Changryong for more than three months.
Because my brother was unable to move in the Beast Palace for at least two months.
Moreover, the wound on the sword was opened by the wind moving yesterday, and the fever rose last night.
That’s why it became our party’s mission to relay the information that Bang Soon, the vice-chairman of the Flying Dragon Pavilion of the Murim Alliance, had handed over to the Murim Alliance.
At first, even though they were badly injured, I tried to take at least one of the three on the trip.
Even if we are trustworthy people, it is still difficult to talk if there is not a single person who has actually been given the mission.
But that’s impossible, so we’re going to set off on our own, and that’s why Geombong is so sorry.
“Since we are also part of the Alliance, it is natural for us to take on important missions, so don’t say such things and focus on recovering your bodies. I will take care of this.
“I also happened to have business at the Murim Alliance. I had to tell them that the Blood Cult had formed an alliance with the Odokmun. And I also had to come up with a plan for them since they had created a treaty.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty the Mandokshin.”
“Thank you, sir.”
At grandfather’s words, Hyungnim and Geombong bowed their heads deeply.
But there was no need to do that, because as my grandfather had said, we had to visit the Murim Alliance anyway.
The information we picked up during the battle with Oh Cheong-yu was that the Blood Cult had formed an alliance with the Oh Dok-mun.
I could not forgive the Blood Cultists who entered our family and killed our warriors, and the Odukmun clan had been my enemy for a hundred years.
With this incident, we have now become mortal enemies with that force, and for that reason, we also need the active help of the Murim Alliance.
From what we’ve seen in this chase, their forces are definitely not small, so it seems like it’ll be difficult for our party and the Beast Palace to deal with them alone.
Is that all?
It seemed that Odokmun had created and passed on an antidote to Hobanyu’s poison, so it was necessary to inform the Murim Alliance about it and come up with a countermeasure.
It had already been confirmed that the venom of another hemorrhagic poison, the wasp venom, was effective, but since it was impossible to mass-produce wasp venom, another solution had to be devised.
And it was a story that ended between us, but since we had decided to take this opportunity to have the Beast Palace, who were somewhat treated as outsiders, join the Murim Alliance, we were going to do it anyway.
“I hope you take good care of yourself at the Beast Palace. Then, I’ll see you later.”
“Okay, be careful, little dragon.”
“Okay, brother. When you get better, please stop by the party.”
“Of course. You should definitely stop by to see my younger sister, Yeong-yeong.”
After I finished greeting my brother first, Geombong, who was lying next to me, thanked me once again.
“Thank you again, So-So-Hyeop. You have really helped me a lot. I don’t know what I would have done without So-So-Hyeop···.”
I feel so grateful.
He said with a playful expression on his face, pretending to be sorry.
“I’m sure your body will get better soon, but I’m worried that I’ve caused you more pain for no reason…”
Then, Geombong blushes as he looks at Changryong.
“Well, it’s my choice, so I have to take responsibility for it.”
I patted Changryong on the shoulder, who looked puzzled by our conversation, and reminded him of the favor once again in his ear.
[Changryong, you must not forget that I saved your life three times.]
After greeting the three of them and leaving, Hwa-eun and Seol were waiting for them.
Sister Seol was accompanying us as she was scheduled to visit the Murim Alliance as a special envoy of the Beast Palace.
“Okay, let’s go, Yong-ah.”
“Yes, Sister Seol. Let’s go. Grandpa.”
“Okay, then let’s go to Sacheon first. We need to hurry to see if anything has happened to the family and prepare the other poisons.”
Originally, there was a way to go directly from Yunnan to Wuhan, where the Wu Lin Alliance is located.
All you have to do is stop at Banjihua, the border between Yunnan and Sichuan, where the Yangtze River flows, and take a boat to Wuhan.
The Yangtze River is a very long river, originating in Tibet and flowing through Yunnan all the way to the West Sea in its previous life.
However, we decided not to use that method and instead stop by Dangga first, because we had decided to make a poison sample when we visited the Murim Alliance this time as well.
Anyway, now that we know that the poison of the bloodthirsty tree is ineffective, we can tell them which poison will work.
Since we will be the ones making it, let’s prepare the poison even if the schedule is a little late, as Grandfather Mandokshingun said.
So we hurried our pace and arrived in Sacheon in almost a month, and when we arrived in Sacheon, Sister Seol spoke with a surprised look on her face.
“This is Sacheon Dangga!? The whole mountain is Dangga.”
After all, my sister Seol is a country girl from Yunnan.
Is this the first time you’ve seen such a successful family?
-Boooo. Boooo.
But before my sister could even finish her surprised voice, the sounds of the Golden Phoenix Kings were heard from above.
When I arrived at the entrance to Danggasan, Gujinmun, I saw that I was among the people there, and it seemed like they had come out to greet me.
“That, the King of Gold!?”
“These are the children I am raising.”
“There was more to raise!?”
“That’s all. How have you been?”
-Boosh! Boosh!
Those guys who grumble and ask where you’ve been all this time because it’s been so long.
I was taken straight to the hive, interviewed by the queen, and given a sip of honey before I was released to them.
And that night.
The peaceful night at the party for the first time in a while was turned into a commotion by an unexpected incident.
The huge incident of Bin, who had not been by my side during the entire return trip, running away from home occurred.
“Wow, are you already going through puberty!?”
“Puberty?”
“No, there is something like that. Anyway, where the hell did this guy go?”
“Send your heart quickly!”
I desperately searched for Bin-i in my heart, but all I could tell was that she wouldn’t come home until she grew bigger than her older sister.
“Hey, I heard you won’t come home until you grow taller than your older sister?”
“ah···.”
When her youngest daughter ran away, Hwa-eun staggered, holding her temples.
