“My name is Dang Hwa-eun of Sacheon Dangga. I have come to meet the head of the Namgung family, so would you please put the chimney inside?”
Namgungga is located on a peak of Hwangsan Mountain, which is beautiful to look at but will make you curse when you climb up.
When I told the warriors in front of the Namgung family’s gate the purpose of my visit, they looked puzzled as expected.
Because my older sister has a face that makes men flustered just by her presence.
“Do, Dok-hwa!? Nice to meet you, Dok-hwa. By the way, are you talking about the lord?”
“Yes, of course you are in the family?”
“Oh, of course. Just wait a moment. Oh, I’ll put the chimney inside.”
Originally, we had planned to say that we had come to meet the eldest daughter of this house, Namgung Seol, but since we didn’t necessarily need her for our transaction, we requested a meeting with the head of the Namgung family.
Since it was a matter of trading valuable items from the family, there was no need to ask to meet my sister’s friend who might be locked up.
It might not be a good image at home right now, but you don’t necessarily have to go down that path where you’re likely to be rejected.
At his older sister’s words, a warrior hurriedly ran inside, and soon after, a woman appeared following him.
‘Is that the woman? That woman is Hwawang Moran? But is that a little strange?’
A woman who I thought was locked up somewhere, but surprisingly showed her face.
But my first impression of the woman who was the most beautiful in the country was one that made me tilt my head.
Although she was pretty, she seemed to lack something in many ways compared to the older sister next to her.
My older sister had an aura that seemed to overwhelm the people around her, but the woman who came out to greet us didn’t have that kind of look.
Is it a bit hard to understand that she has such a grand nickname as Hwawang Peony?
So, while I was wondering if that face was more appealing than my older sister’s in this day and age, a woman approached me and greeted me.
“It’s been a while, Hwa-eun.”
“Yes, Eun, how have you been? Has it been two years since we met at Chilgajiyeon (七家之緣) last time?”
Listening to the greetings exchanged between the two, it seems like it’s not Namgung Seol but Namgung.
It seemed like she was the other daughter of this house.
“Yes, Sister. You came to see your father? Can I hear what’s going on first?”
My older sister looks at me at the words of a woman named Namgung Eun.
The older sister looked at the woman again and answered.
“Actually, I’m looking for an elixir made of cold energy from my family. I’ve heard that the Namgung family has been looking for an elixir made of cold energy, so I was wondering if you might need it…”
A woman who shouts in surprise before her older sister finishes speaking.
“Really!? Is this really a cold-blooded elixir!?”
“Yes, of course···.”
The woman ran over, grabbed the older sister’s hand, and said with a moved expression.
“Thank you, Sister! Thanks to you, I am relieved! My uncle went all the way to the North Sea Ice Palace to get the elixir of cold air, but I was worried because he went in vain. Thank goodness! There have been only misfortunes in the family lately, but this is good news···.”
As expected, I heard the answer that he was looking for it just as my older sister had promised.
Moreover, it seemed like a desperate situation, as the woman pulled her older sister inside and said.
“Go in, Sister. I’m sure your father will be happy.”
“Uh, just a moment···.”
Even in the Murim Alliance, my older sister is unusually weak to physical contact.
Namgung Se-ga entered, delighted at the fact that he had discovered his sister’s second weakness.
And as I followed the woman named Namgung Eun to the Namgung Se family’s house, my older sister asked the woman named Namgung Eun cautiously in a worried voice.
The purpose of the visit was to meet the head of the household, but it seemed that he was worried about the safety of Lady Namgung Seol.
“I’m not sure if I should ask, but I’m worried anyway… I heard the story under Hwangsan… What happened to Lady Namgung Seol?”
Then, Namgung, who was walking with a smile on his face, froze in place.
She slowly turned around and answered with a stiff expression.
“You heard···. Haa···. Well, it seems like rumors have spread all around···.”
She took a deep breath, came closer to her sister, and whispered softly.
[I’ll tell you that quietly later.]
The older sister quietly nodded, saying she understood what Namgung said.
Soon after arriving at the Namgung Se-ga residence and entering, a man with a hunched appearance greeted us warmly.
“Who is this? Isn’t this the daughter of the Tang family? Yes, how is the Tang family?”
“Have you been well? Head of the Namgung family. Yes, thanks to you, my father is well too.”
“Yes, peace···. Peace···.”
“?”
The head of the Namgung family, who had a bitter expression on his face at his sister’s words of peace, chewed over the word peace.
But he quickly came to his senses and continued speaking at our gaze.
“Oh, no. So, what brings you all the way from Sacheon to Hwangsan? You asked to see me? Is it a family matter or personal?”
“Father, they say that Sacheondangga has a potion that contains cold energy.”
“What!? Is that true!?”
The head of the Namgung family is surprised by Namgung Eun’s words that came out before his older sister’s answer.
He asked in an urgent voice.
“A cold-blooded elixir! Is that true? So, what kind of elixir is it? There must be many different types. Can you tell me which ones they are?”
“I brought it, would you like to see it?”
“Hey, you brought it!?”
At Namgung Gaju’s question, my older sister turned her gaze towards me.
Now it’s time to take it out.
With trembling hands, he took out a pouch from his bosom.
Then he opened his pocket and rolled it across the table.
-Dalgrak.
“Oh! That’s it!?”

“That!? A, an elixir!?”
What I rolled on the table was a blue, cold crystal.
When he took it out of his pocket, the head of the Namgung family and Namgung Eun-i opened their eyes wide at the sight of the crystal emitting a gentle cold air.
“Can you take a closer look?”
“Yes, of course.”
The head of the Namgung family quickly checks the decision as he places it on his pocket and pushes it towards the head of the household.
The head of the Namgung family, who had been raising his hand to decide for a moment and checking something, spoke with a pleased expression.
“The purity of the cold air is very high. At this level, it should be able to last for ten years!”
“Is that all, Father?”
“Yes, it has a much more refined energy than the Seol-sam I got from Jegalga before!”
‘It was to that extent?’
The head of the Namgung family is at a loss as to what to do after receiving the elixir.
He examined the decision from side to side as if he were appraising a jewel.
And then he tilted his head and asked what he found inside the decision.
“But inside this blue crystal, there seems to be something twisted. What is it?”
Perhaps it’s the feeling of finding what’s inside.
Instead, under the gaze of his older sister who was telling him to explain, he first greeted the head of the Namgung household and gave him a lottery ticket.
“I am Lady Hwa-eun’s fiancé, Wi So-ryong.”
“Oh, I was so absorbed in the story of my elixir that I forgot to ask, but you are the fiancée of the daughter of the Tang family. So, what is this?”
And then he answered his subsequent question in a calm voice.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you that.”
“Oh, really? It seems to be an elixir that will tell you the location of the discovery if you tell me what it is. Okay. Then I won’t ask about it.”
He seemed to understand something, but it wasn’t for that reason, as he said.
Can’t we really say that it’s a half-rotten and now twisted lizard tail?
That was all Seol-i’s severed tail. It couldn’t speak because it was a rotten lizard tail.
‘Who knew that was an elixir?’
To be honest, the discovery was a coincidence.
I cut off Seol-i’s tail and kept it in my bosom as a souvenir, like the legs of the Gokus’ mother or the Gokus’ shells. But as time passed, the tail dried up and suddenly started to form ice crystals.
I kept feeling pain in my chest while sleeping, so I checked and it was in that condition. When I returned to the family and checked with Mandokshin-gun’s grandfather, he said that it could be an elixir for those who learned martial arts that require ice or cold energy.
I always wondered why a rotten and twisted lizard’s tail would become its territory, but when I thought about it, it was possible.
Our blue lizards are fat-tailed lizards.
It was a lizard that lived in a harsh environment and stored nutrients in its fat tail.
What this means is that the negative energy sucked from the ginseng is stored in its tail.
Even though it was rotten and in poor condition, the Namgung family was delighted with it. It wasn’t just cute, it was a real blessing.
“By the way, since you brought this, it looks like you need something. What do you need?”
Namgung’s head of household, who is quick-witted, asks about the exchange conditions right away.
He exchanged glances with his sister at her question and asked in a cautious voice.
“I heard there is a Bing-ok in Namgung-ga. Would you be able to exchange it for that?”
Then he smiled brightly and said,
“Every time! Is there anyone there!? No. Eun-i, go and get the ice jade from your sister’s residence.”
“Yes, I understand, Father.”
Namgung runs out in a hurry at Namgung Gaju’s words.
After a while, Namgung, with a slightly excited face, entered the main hall carrying a jewel the size of a billiard ball.
“This is···.”
A blue orb with eyes as clear as a snake’s tail.
When Namgung touched the thing that was handed to him with a smile, a cool breeze flowed through his fingertips.
It felt like I was touching Seol-i’s tail directly.
When I handed it to my older sister, she confirmed the energy and nodded.
Since this is my older sister who personally confirmed the energy of the Seol-sam seeds, she is probably saying that the two energies are similar.
He quickly bowed his head toward Namgung Gaju.
“Thank you, Lord Namgung.”
“We are grateful. We will have to discuss with the elders of the family how to feed them.”
Fast and simple second-hand trading.
In my previous life, all kinds of villains ran rampant in the second-hand goods trade, but this trade was so clean that it was worrisome.
‘It was a mutually satisfactory deal.’
And as the deal was completed, the voice of the Southern Lord, who had become much more relaxed than before, was heard.
“Yes, while you’re here, take a few days off and then go. I’ll treat you as a guest of my family and treat you very well. Oh, and Lady Hwa-eun was close to our Seol-i, right?”
“Yes, my lord.”
“My daughter has been going through some hard times recently. Could you please stay with her and console her? I feel like she’s been keeping herself cooped up in the house too much.”
My older sister looks at me with eyes asking if I’m okay.
Anyway, there wouldn’t be much difference in the itinerary for a day or two, and since my older sister had been worried about that guy named Namgung Seol since yesterday, I nodded.
Then, the older sister answered Namgung Gaju with a slightly brighter expression.
“Okay, Lord Namgung.”
After a while, we left the house and followed Namgung Eun to the Sahapwon used by the direct descendants of the family.
That’s because a young lady named Namgung Seol was said to be trapped there.
***
Namgung Se-ga’s road to Sahapwon.
Namgung said, sweeping his chest.
With an expression that said, “Thanks to you, I survived.”
“I’m glad that Dad is feeling better thanks to you, Sister. It’s been like walking on thin ice these past few days.”
“Oh, right. Tell me about that. What exactly happened?”
When his older sister asked him to tell her the story she had told him earlier, Namgung nodded and answered.
“I don’t know how much you know, but there’s a strange rumor going around about my sister. She goes around Hwangsan every night and sucks the masculine energy out of men…”
“Yes, I’ve heard of that. But isn’t that ridiculous?”
In their previous lives, even women could normally talk about this, but when the topic of yang energy came up, the two women blushed.
Namgung Eun’s story continued in response to his older sister’s question.
“Yes, my father and the elders of the family believed that at first. But the men who had sucked my sister’s genitals knew about my sister’s secret spots, so my father confirmed the truth with my sister…
My sister thought my father was scolding her for going to practice alone, so she answered yes to my father’s question, and I was locked in a closed room for several days.”
“Oh, really? So?”
“I went to see you secretly and confirmed that there was a misunderstanding between us, but how can you explain how those guys know where the moles on your body are?”
“Is that so?”
“In the end, my sister had to go all the way to Su-gung-sa to prove her innocence.”
“oh my god···.”
‘Sugungsa? Is it something like the act of pressing your thumb to your tongue and your little finger to your forehead?’
When I tilted my head at the mention of taking a picture of the water palace, my older sister slyly sent me a message.
[The water palace seal is something that a woman puts on her body to prove that she is pure. If you raise a lizard in a jar and feed it vermilion, its body will turn red. You crush that in a mortar and put it on the woman’s body.
If you are a pure white person, the blood will never be washed off even if you wash it with water.]
‘What, what are you grinding!?’
I don’t know what the injection was, but it’s definitely not lizard food, and judging from the fact that it turns red, it seems to be some kind of dye. It’s a gruesome story of them feeding the lizards that throughout their lives, abusing them, and eventually grinding the lizard in a mortar.
It was a unicorn, not a lizard, that was supposed to be the one to detect virginity, and I was glaring in disbelief at the crazy lizard abuse.
As I was sitting in the large pavilion in the courtyard of the Sahapwon, I noticed a woman getting up from her seat.
This is a woman with a red peony tattooed on her left wrist, starting from the back of her hand.
