Sacheondangga 4
It was clear that the Wukongs had high intelligence.
No, it seemed like he understood what people were saying.
In front of the bath water, where steam was rising as if the servants had prepared it.
“Guys, I think I need to take a bath, but this water is too hot and might not be good for you… Would you stay here for a moment? I’ll be out soon after washing up.”
In front of a wooden barrel with flower petals floating in it, with steam rising from it, as I pointed to the wooden barrel that I had received from a servant, the Wukongs moved along my arm.
The guys looked at me curiously as I crawled into the wooden bucket and went into the water.
It looks like an animal like a mongoose or a meerkat is raising its head and looking at something.
‘It’s amazing.’
Most species of foxes have virtually no eyes.
Even those with eye-like organs usually don’t have the genes to detect light.
All that is known from recent research is that they use their antennae to detect heat and use it like eyes.
But that doesn’t mean it looks like snow, it’s just to check the contrast?
Moreover, our Wukongs haven’t even shed their skin yet, so they are transparent and yellow.
Even if they were a new species and had eyes, their eyeballs would be transparent and the retina would not be able to reflect light, so they would not be visible.
“It’s embarrassing when you stare at me like that while I’m completely naked.”
At my words, the guys looked at each other, then carefully rolled into the barrel.
It’s clear that he really understands what’s being said.
Seeing their strange appearance, I decided to find out what kind of creatures they were, and soaked myself in hot water for the first time in a long while.
And I thought quietly in the water.
‘I need to find out for sure what a spirit is from the old man, the deputy chief. It’s a spirit, a spirit, that’s what he said.’
It was while I was drying my wet hair in the pavilion at the backyard, feeling the cool breeze and relieving the fatigue from the long journey.
-Thump thump.
I heard the sound of footsteps of someone who seemed to be heading somewhere in a hurry.
The president’s daughter, no, the head of the household’s daughter was crossing in front of me.
My sister, who was walking hurriedly towards my residence, made a surprised expression when she saw me sitting in the pavilion.
My older sister, who had discovered me, turned sharply towards me and began to approach me quickly.
‘uh?’
Then he stopped in front of me, his face slightly flushed, his voice urgent, he asked me.
“Excuse me, Sohyeop. I’m in a bit of a hurry, so could you please give me your hand?”
‘Wow… Are you, are you the hot older sister?’
My older sister suddenly asked me to give her a hand, saying she was in a hurry.
Now, all I’ve done is make a statement, but my older sister said that we should hold hands right away.
But, by my standards from my past life, this is an ancient society, a society like the one in historical dramas, so a woman’s hand would be a huge amount of skinship.
I liked it too, but it was difficult because the owner was nearby.
If you get caught by the lord, it’ll be a bit like that, right?
Because he’s my sister’s father.
No matter how urgent it is, it’s still like that.
There are stages to becoming close with people.
‘I think it would be nice if my first experience was with love. Whether it’s a hand or something. I’m a romantic.’
“Ahem… I don’t know why you’re in such a hurry, but wouldn’t it be better for us to get to know each other better? I don’t really hate it, but….”
My older sister, who had been blank-faced at my answer, suddenly became serious and shouted.
“What, what are you saying! That, that’s not it!”
“Ouch. Wow, that’s a surprise!”
When I made a startled expression at my sister’s shout, my sister spoke with a bright red face and a slightly angry expression.
“No, that’s not it. I’m just trying to get a feel for it.”
“Ah, I, I see. Oh, ahahaha… I didn’t even know that. I’m, I’m sorry.”
‘Mac? Did you learn medicine too, Sister? Are you trying to give me some medicine to relieve my suffering from the hardships of traveling? Damn it. You really make a bad first impression.’
I made a mistake because I was so excited to see my older sister.
But my older sister, being the generous person she is, apologized to me right away.
Did you have a twisted apple for a snack?
“I asked for your hand out of the blue, so there could be some misunderstanding. I’m not sure what the misunderstanding is, though.”
My sister looked at me with an expression like she was looking at trash.
You’d probably think that the little guy was just being cheeky.
“Rice, it wasn’t a misunderstanding. Yes, yes.”
I was just about to wrap my head around it and think I should kick the covers a few times tonight.
My sister said this with a slightly reluctant expression.
“I heard it from my father a little while ago. Of course you know about Sohyeop, right?”
“What if you heard it from your master?”
“My father thinks of Sohyeop as my spouse.”
“Oh, I see. Me too, in front of Sacheondangga earlier···.”
Somehow, it seemed like the reason my older sister suddenly came to see me was because she heard from the head of the household that I was a potential groom.
It would be absurd if my father suddenly picked up an orphan and married her off.
“I don’t know about Sohyeop, but I don’t really like this right now. Sohyeop saved my father’s life and mine, so I’ll repay the favor, but it’s not a very pleasant feeling to be sent to someone as a gift.
“But my father’s heart seems to be greatly inclined.”
As expected, the older sister is angry.
At first, she acted as if she understood.
I’m trying to calm down some of the anger.

“Oh, of course you could do that. If my father suddenly picked up a skinny orphan and told me to get married, I would probably think, “Is he going crazy?” Of course.”
“yes!?”
A drip of conversion.
But, contrary to my expectations that she would laugh, my sister’s face quickly changed into one of embarrassment.
And then he immediately bowed his head and apologized.
“Oh, I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant. It’s not because of So, So-hyeop’s appearance or the fact that he doesn’t have any relatives… It’s just that this is inside the Sacheondang family….”
Perhaps he felt sorry that it sounded like he was ignoring me.
As expected, he was a person with a kind heart.
“I know. I don’t think that’s the kind of thing you’d do.”
“···?, ···How would Sohyeop know that? It’s only been a few hours since we met.”
My older sister asked me with big eyes, to which I answered with a smile.
He answered the question with a smile.
“Well, I guess that’s probably the case. If he wasn’t like that, he wouldn’t have even apologized.”
Isn’t there a saying that if you’re pretty, you’re kind?
In light of that truth, my sister is closer to Mother Teresa or an angel.
At my words, my older sister stared at me for a moment, then carefully sat down next to me.
And he apologized for his rudeness so far and slowly began to explain why he had come to see me.
“Um… First, let me apologize. I came here and suddenly acted rudely. And although it’s not even a small matter, since you seem to be deep in thought, I’ll be honest with you. Why did I come here and act rudely?”
“Huh? Yes? Yes.”
According to my older sister’s explanation, my older sister’s Sacheondang family is made up of direct and collateral lines.
But this time, my older sister is the only direct descendant of the family.
As a result, there were many stories about the head of the household taking a second wife to continue the family line, but the head of the household said that he loved his wife and refused.
Because I already have an older sister.
“Can’t women continue the family line?”
“No. You can just take a son-in-law. Our Sacheondang family has a tradition of taking a son-in-law.”
“Aha. Son-in-law···.”
So, he said, the task of continuing the family line has now passed on to his older sister.
The Sacheon Dang family originally dealt in poison and had many secrets, so there was a tradition of taking sons-in-law. However, since the head of the family refused a second wife, the responsibility of continuing the family line fell to the older sister.
If my older sister takes in a son-in-law and has a child, will that child continue the Sacheondang family line?
However, the older sister, who has suffered from the evil deeds of the collateral line, wants something that will flatten the noses of the collateral line, whether it be martial arts or marriage.
Now, Mu-gong will be able to help me without any problems, but then the only thing left is my spouse.
My older sister wanted a spouse who had at least excellent martial arts skills.
‘Qualification? Something like talent, I guess?’
There was a reason why my older sister wanted a spouse with outstanding martial arts talent.
It was my own greed, but it was also for the other person.
Martial arts talents have limitations.
It can be said that it is the limit of what a person can reach, but since martial arts is the most valuable thing in the martial arts world, qualifications are also highly regarded.
So, depending on the level of one’s martial arts achievements, one’s status within the family would change, so my older sister explained that even as a son-in-law, one had to have outstanding qualities in order to walk around the family with pride.
The collateral branches’ back-stabbing is no joke···.
“······I feel sorry for Sohyeop, but I want to check Sohyeop’s qualifications. Of course, I won’t kick Sohyeop out just because his qualifications don’t match my desires.
My benefactor, of course, is my guest. No, yes, what about the step-siblings? I don’t know much about the small group, but they don’t seem like bad people.
Also, since you seem to be thinking deeply, I will ask my father to take responsibility for Sohyeop’s life by becoming his step-sibling. So···.”
So, my older sister has a realistic side, even if she hasn’t achieved anything right away.
At the very least, I want a potential husband with the most valuable martial arts skills in the martial arts world.
‘Hmm… You’re a more realistic older sister than I thought.’
I thought it was understandable for a daughter from such a wealthy family to do so.
In such a large family, marriage would be a business.
“I understand what you mean. Okay, let’s check it out.”
After hearing my sister’s explanation, I nodded and held out my arm.
Then, my older sister, who was flustered just like before, held out her hand to me.
My sister asked, blinking her eyes.
“Really? Is that okay?”
“Yes, if you want to check it out, feel free to check it out.”
“What if I lie and say I’m not qualified because I don’t like small business?”
“You’re not going to do it, are you?”
My sister, who had been staring at me once again, carefully reached out and grabbed my wrist.
That was the moment when my sister’s hand touched my wrist.
Suddenly, I felt like my eyes were flashing and I had to shake my head as I felt like I was losing consciousness for a moment.
It felt like something strange had entered somewhere deep inside my body.
“Why is that?”
“Oh, no. It’s not over, is it?”
“We haven’t even started yet.”
“Then go ahead.”
Something strange happened, but when she came to her senses, she closed her eyes and focused on something.
Then, along with a slightly tingling sensation, I began to feel something pushing into my body from my sister’s hand that was holding my wrist.
‘I feel something strange.’
My sister, who checked something thoroughly in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
After a long time of checking something, my sister’s first words were surprisingly hopeful.
“The martial arts of the Tang sect are not something that anyone can learn. While there are people who can learn the Dok Gong, there are also people who cannot learn it at all.
But fortunately, Sohyeop has a body that can learn to do solo.”
‘Oh! That’s somewhat hopeful?’
But the first step was a bit of a flop, and the story that followed was a bit disappointing to me.
“But that realm seems to have a limit of ten poisons. In the Tang sect, there are various names for the bodies that can learn poisons, and Sohyeop’s body is like a ten poison limb body.”
‘What!? Poem, the ten virtues? The ten virtues? I was a bit of a fan of poisonous insects and snakes in my past life, but do you know about that?’
I was shocked by my older sister’s words, but it turned out that they were not the ten virtues but the ten poisons.
So, it means that it is a body that can control up to ten levels of poison···.
“Five poisons, ten poisons, a hundred poisons, a thousand poisons, ten thousand poisons. The poison of Tang sect is that the deeper the internal energy, the more poisons you can accept. However, the body of a small shaman can only accept ten kinds of poison.
Due to the nature of Tangga’s internal energy, the more poison you can take in, the higher and faster your realm can be raised, but that is not the case.
To be honest, even though he is not a member of the Tang clan, he is excellent at being a Ten-Dok-Ji-Che, but compared to the general level of the martial arts world, he is at the limit of first-class.
It’s just the highest level that a talentless average person can reach. So···. Ah···.”
To be honest, it was a bit shocking.
It’s like hearing directly that you have no talent for something.
I’m saying that I’m either a good person or a bad person.
I was a little embarrassed, aside from the fact that she wasn’t my sister’s spouse.
I clearly heard from the head of the household that you have to achieve Man-dok or something to catch a jinjo, but if it’s Ten-dok, there are two steps in between.
Even if you roughly calculate the numbers, it felt like there was a thousand-fold difference.
The dream has flown away.
My older sister also checked my expression, then quietly lowered her head and stepped back.
I guess you felt like I needed some time.
As my older sister stepped aside, I noticed that the sky was turning red at sunset, and the normally quiet Wukongs began to poke their heads out from between their collars.
-Tsrrrr···.
It sounds like something is wrong with me.
I muttered quietly to myself at that sound.
“Guys. I’m not a sipdeok, I’m a sipdok… No, that aside. Is it true that I got rejected without even being able to confess?”
Thinking about it, it seems like this was my first time confessing after my previous life.
A bit unfair.
***
There was no word at dinner.
My older sister thought she would tell the adults separately, but it seemed like the adults had no idea.
The meal was cheerful, and my sister didn’t show any particular expression.
And that night.
I clearly thought I had fallen asleep in the place the family had prepared for me, but when I woke up in the forest, my older sister appeared to me, bowed deeply, and shed tears.
“Sob sob… I am grateful for Eun-gong’s deep grace.”
And in my arms were three little girls sucking their fingers, holding onto my clothes and looking at their older sister with fearful expressions.
‘What kind of harmony is this?’
