first kiss 3
I wondered why, when my older sister told me to look at Eun-kyung, she suddenly told me to look in the mirror.
But when I was about to wash my face and wash my body in the morning, I could understand what my sister had said.
My reflection in the wash water.
Because it was clearly different from yesterday.
“What is it? Something feels strange?”
It feels like the lead has become more refined, and even the feel of the skin has changed.
When I washed my face and rubbed my cheek with the back of my hand, my cheek stuck to my hand like jelly.
In the end, I asked the maids to bring me the Eun-kyung as my older sister said, and when I looked into it, I saw that my skin had completely changed.
My skin looked like I had gotten peeling treatment at a plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam.
In my previous life, I was from the rural island of Haenam-do, and since I lived on an island where the sea breeze blew and in a tropical forest, I inevitably got freckles and became dark-skinned. However, my skin had now turned white, as if I had applied BB cream.
“Royal jelly has these effects too? Where the hell did that country bumpkin from Haenam go?”
They say it’s a mid-level poison, but the royal jelly of the Golden Phoenix King really has great effects.
But a thought suddenly occurs to me when I am admiring my changed skin.
‘Wait a minute, this looks exactly like a woman’s skin…’
Royal jelly is a magical substance that turns worker bees into queens.
I was startled and looked inside my pants first.
I was wondering if there might be some strange(?) effect that even my older sister hadn’t confirmed.
‘Ah, it’s okay… I was scared.’
Fortunately, the precious things in the pants are safe.
I thought I had turned into a woman thanks to the effects of royal jelly, but fortunately, I was wrong.
And as my mind was at ease, I remembered the meaning of my sister’s actions earlier.
‘Wait? Then, why did your sister’s face turn red? Are you an idiot?’
If I look at it objectively, I think I look a little better now that I’ve changed, but how good do other people think I look?
Thinking that maybe this was the green light after seeing my older sister’s appearance earlier, I headed to a place that looked like a restaurant where the direct descendants of the Tang family gathered to eat.
This was because we usually finished our morning practice around this time and gathered together to eat.
Today, I couldn’t practice because I was collapsed.
On the way to the restaurant, past the sponsorship.
The sun was still barely peeking out from the top of the mountain, so the surroundings were dark.
‘By the way, is this too early in the morning?’
After deciding to become a member of the party, the most difficult part, aside from the psychological factors, was this morning culture.
Because they were martial artists, they didn’t get much sleep in the first place and had to wake up at the crack of dawn to train, so trying to keep up with that was bound to be tiring.
But that pain ended yesterday.
It was because my body felt really light, perhaps because I had accumulated ten years of internal energy.
My sister also said that she won’t have a hard time waking up in the morning anymore.
The restaurant we arrived at like that.
As I entered, my mother-in-law, who was checking the servants preparing the food, greeted me with a cheerful face.
“Oh my, my son-in-law’s face has improved so much. Is he feeling better?”
“Yes, mother-in-law. I’m sorry for worrying you.”
“No. Congratulations on your chance. By the way, look at this face and skin.”
My mother-in-law is delighted with my changed appearance.
As I looked inside, I saw my older sister sitting in her seat.
“Little dragon.”
“Miss Hwa-eun. It must have been hard taking care of me all night…”
My sister took care of me all night yesterday, but she arrived earlier than me.
As I sat down next to my older sister, with an apologetic expression on my face, my older sister smiled faintly.
“It’s okay. I recently discovered that I can go for days without proper sleep.”
“Ah, haha. Right···.”
I sat down with an awkward smile on my face as my older sister answered with a smile.
It seemed like he said it as a joke, but it was because he felt sorry.
That’s because I ran away with the queen bee.
‘You’re not holding back, are you?’
As we sat there waiting, the craftsman and Mandokshin-gun grandfather arrived, and the Dangmun breakfast began.
A simple Tang Dynasty breakfast consisting of large dumplings stuffed with lamb, warm soup, and a few stir-fried vegetables and meats.
‘Are you saying these lamb dumplings are really delicious?’
“Yeah, Little Dragon, are you feeling okay?”
I was about to put the first lamb dumpling into my mouth without thinking.
The craftsman’s question is heard.
I quickly answered, putting down the lamb dumplings I had picked up.
“Yes, ahem. Master. I apologize for worrying you.”
“No. I’m glad I had the chance.”
The craftsman congratulates you on your chance encounter.
Thinking about it, I couldn’t even thank my grandfather for taking care of my body, so I quickly thanked him.
I’m going to process it all at once and finish the lamb dumplings.
“Oh, and thank you, Grandfather. I heard you looked after my body. I’m sorry for worrying you.”
“Yes, I heard the story from Hwa-eun, but what exactly happened?”
I want to eat lamb dumplings, but everyone is looking at me with sparkling eyes.
I thought he must have been very curious about what happened yesterday, so I put my hand back to the dumplings and explained under the table.

“It seems that he liked the house and wanted to repay the favor. So I took him to the beehive and he suddenly fed him some beekeeping food. I think he came to me because he wanted to feed me that.”
“Even a mid-level poisoner knows how to repay a favor···.”
“It’s amazing how even tiny creatures repay kindness.”
“That’s right. It’s really amazing.”
Although it was a short explanation, the adults nodded because it contained all the key points.
I tried to reach for the dumplings again, but my father-in-law, grandfather, mother-in-law, and older sister all asked me to make them.
“By the way, could you get some more of that? If we could get more honey or something like that, like you said, it would be a great help to the party.”
“That’s right, Father. If we could continue to obtain the wheat from the Golden Phoenix King as Soryong said, it would be of great help, but if it’s the Phoenix King, it would definitely be of great help.”
“Yes, son-in-law. Can I get that again?”
“Little Dragon, can you save me?”
Come to think of it, in order to increase their internal energy, martial artists practice internal energy early in the morning or before going to bed instead of sleeping.
If one serving of royal jelly could fill ten years’ worth of internal energy, everyone would be thrilled.
But if you think about it carefully, it wasn’t easy to get this new.
If you make several fake nests called queen bees where queen bees are born like regular honeybees, and wait for them to be filled with royal jelly, and then remove the larvae and collect only the royal jelly, the smart golden bee kings will not stay still.
And of course, royal jelly, the food used to raise bees, comes from worker bees, but the one who fed me royal jelly was the queen bee.
If it was a unique substance that only came from queen bees, it would be difficult to obtain it again.
If it becomes known that it will increase your internal energy by another ten years, it could lead to an incident where you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
It seemed like I had to say that it was almost impossible until everything was clear.
‘What are you saying? Oh! That’s right!’
After much thought, the only solution that came to mind was to tell the truth.
I decided to tell the truth that would shock people.
A title that only those who have an open mind to all living things on Earth can obtain: the title of “possible insect.”
Eating Bongwangjang means that only the most extreme possibilities are possible.
“I don’t think it will be difficult.”
“Is it hard? Why are you saying that?”
“Yes, son-in-law, why do you say it’s difficult?”
People who widen their eyes when they hear the word ‘difficult’.
“Actually, even if it were edible, would there be anyone who would be able to eat it···.”
“Does it taste weird? Or does it smell weird?”
When the craftsman asked if the taste or smell was strange, I shook my head and said.
“No. Actually, this is something that comes out of the mouth of the Queen Bee of the Golden Horned King, so it seems like the Queen Bee should have conveyed it herself… Also, it is something that is conveyed only when the Queen Bee’s tongue enters the mouth while the mouths are touching each other as if they are folding…”
“What!? Contact with the queen bee!?”
“That guy, he’s in contact with the King of Gold!”
My family looked at me with surprised eyes at my answer.
Even I, who loves insects, would go crazy from this nutritional exchange, so there’s no way anyone in their right mind could do this.
“Then I guess I’ll have to assume you can’t get it.”
“Surely I have to kiss the King of Gold. It would be impossible, even if it was a dragon that the King of Gold likes.”
At first, I thought I had done a good job of keeping my family from being greedy, and was about to eat some dumplings.
-Bam.
The sound of something falling can be heard from the older sister sitting next to me.
When I turned my head, my older sister was dropping her hands on the table with a blank expression on her face.
A dead look in his eyes and an expression that seemed to suggest he was approaching something forbidden that he should not know about.
‘Oh my! Now that I think about it, I didn’t think of you, big sister!’
If I think about it, letting people know that only the most extreme possible beings can eat the Royal Jelly of the Golden Phoenix King is ultimately letting them know that I am an extreme possible being.
The eyes of the older sister who found out that the man she had promised to for the future was an extreme possibility-bull turned dark and dead.
***
After dinner, I wanted to practice, but my grandfather forbade me to practice, saying that my body needed to adapt to the internal energy.
Now that my internal energy has been accumulated, I need to practice using my internal energy, but my body still needs time to adapt···.
“You won’t practice today. No, for the time being, take the medicine that Hwa-eun brings and get some rest.”
“Huh? Are you sure?”
“Yes, because a lot of internal energy is accumulated at once, and the blood vessels need time to adapt to the accumulated internal energy.”
For that reason, now is the time for your body to adapt to the changed internal energy.
It was a temporary rest because I needed to achieve harmony between my internal energy and my body.
‘Good.’
However, after the meal, I had to attend a meeting of the Tang clan. The reason was to decide on the treatment of those who had been selling information about King Geummobong here and there.
All the elders of the family gathered at the main shrine, the Hyeonmujeon.
“Yes, Gaju, are you saying that there are people who sold the information that was sold to our party to other places?”
“Yes, sir, that is correct.”
At first, I thought so.
Since the craftsman bought the information without even checking it properly, he was worried that he would be criticized by the collateral line and elders of the family.
In a way, this is the craftsman’s mistake.
‘How could you buy such information without even checking it properly and put a bad reputation on the party!’
It was because, judging from the atmosphere last time, it seemed like the story would flow that way.
But what is this?
Adults who were so noisy and picky about internal problems all spoke with one voice when it came to issues caused by outsiders.
“How dare you! Who would have thought that there would be someone who would tarnish the reputation of the party···.”
“If we let something like this pass, what will the people of the martial arts world think of our clan!? Even if we die, we must not let them die gracefully!”
“I think our party has been too moderate so far. I never thought something like this would happen.”
It doesn’t matter if we fight amongst ourselves, but we won’t let anyone who dares to harm our family’s reputation go unpunished. That’s the consistent story.
In the end, the punishment for the person who sold the information was decided without a hitch.
“I asked Gaebang to check where the bastards ran off to, and I will receive a link within a few days. Then I will go there myself.”
“Yes, that’s something the head of the household should take care of himself. Go and show him the 100 punishments and 100 warnings of the Tang family.”
“Then, what will you do about the treatment?”
The craftsman answers the elders’ questions with a gentle smile.
“When you are in such pain that your blood is burning, your internal organs are melting, and your soul is about to leave the body, using the soul-destroying poison, blood-changing poison, and intestine-severing poison, shouldn’t you finish it off with the seven-step soul-severing poison?”
‘Car, cocktail therapy.’
The decision to use the cocktail therapy that was used for healing in a previous life to kill people.
It was decided that the conman would be dealt with by injecting a mixture of three or more poisons.
It was when I was walking away after a meeting that had made me feel like I was going crazy.
“Ahem!”
“Khuh-hum!”
A coughing sound coming from behind.
The elders of the family, who I thought would disperse inside the party after the meeting, were looking at the distant mountains behind me.
‘what?’
“Weisorong meets the elders of the Tang family.”
As I quickly bowed my head politely, as if he had something to say, one person stepped forward, looked around, and spoke in a cautious voice.
“Ahem. So, you got a chance?”
“Yes? Yes, sir.”
‘Could it be because of the Golden Crown King’s Royal Jelly?’
I thought the elders of the family were being greedy by suddenly bringing up the story of fate.
As expected, I would like to ask you to tell me the story you brought up while hesitating.
“Ah, ahem. We came to you for no other reason than to ask you a favor.”
“What? Maybe the King of Gold and Silver···.”
“No, not that.”
“yes?”
I quickly cut them off, thinking they were asking if I could get the wheat from the Golden Phoenix King, but the elders shook their heads.
The old man asked with an embarrassed expression.
“All the elixirs and treasures of the world have their own owners. Would we really want to covet such things?”
“Okay, okay.”
“then?”
“No, it’s nothing else. Isn’t there, that thing? Jidamhwan (地膽丸)… You made it, so you have the authority… Ahem!”
“Ji Dam-hwan? Ah!”
If it’s Jidamhwan, it’s a cantharidin aphrodisiac made from Garoe.
For the average person, it is a drug that can cause death if misused, but if you think about it, it is a miracle drug that can boost the self-esteem of the Tang Dynasty people who have a certain level of tolerance to poison.
He answered with a smile.
“I am having a hard time adjusting to the new life, so if you could help me in any way, I would be truly grateful. Of course, you should give me medicine.”
‘If you know it, the medicine is yours.’
Then the adults answered with delight.
“Of course! Of course! Even after death, you are still a member of our family!”
“Well, well. Don’t worry now. We will all support you.”
I had a feeling that life would be smooth sailing for the family from now on.
