Episode 179 Kidnapping
“You… … are my fiancée?”
“yes.”
Even though she was still young and had not yet blossomed, when I looked back at her, countless memories flashed through my mind.
At the same time, emotions I had never experienced before were thrashing around inside my body.
It was refreshing to share not only the ghost’s memories but also his emotions, but the identity of these emotions was more of a problem now.
My heart is pounding, but not out of fear, and I am laughing, but not because it is funny.
There was something that was clearly different from when I saw Han So-so or Jiha-mi.
That’s the very thing that’s too embarrassing to even put into words.
furthermore.
‘What on earth have you done?!’
I narrowed my eyes and asked the demon as if I was questioning him.
“Little Master… … ?”
Those swollen, red lips.
And… …my memories were covered.
A kiss I had never experienced before lingered in my mind.
A dregs of unpleasant emotions.
Did you even flirt with my fiancée?
“Are you feeling uncomfortable because of me?”
The ghost remained silent without saying a word. You cowardly bastard.
“The young cult leader is embarrassed and does that. Haha! Young lady, please take it this way. I’ll bring you some tea.”
Following Yul-Tak’s guidance, Dan-Ye-Hwa went inside and sat down quietly.
I crossed my arms with a frown and sat down in front of the desk.
Yul-tak told me to smile, lifted the corner of his mouth with his index finger, and closed the door with a sinister smile before leaving.
This guy or that guy.
“My father told me to come and say hello… … .”
When I looked at the short story indifferently, her face blushed like a shy young bride, unlike the sassy look in my memory.
“Who would do something like that on their own?”
“yes?”
“… … I’m talking about an engagement. I’ve never heard of it, and I never gave permission.”
“The cult leader sent a message to the Geumdan Palace to marry, and also… … because I wanted it.”
Our engagement was your wish?
You who were anxious because you couldn’t throw me out?
I asked in surprise at the unexpected remark.
“You? Why?”
“Don’t you remember?”
What is that look on your face as if you’re going to kill me?
I remember. In the distant future, you said that if I defeated Guyangryong and came to Geomdan Palace, I would marry you… … .
What a crappy memory.
I frowned and asked, seemingly incredulous.
“Are you sure you’re not talking about the thing you said you’d marry me?”
“Chi… …remembering.”
“How about that? Could it be that you are also a demon… …?”
“Who is the ghost? Are there any other women?”
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
“Yes, no. Just tell me that.”
He speaks shyly, then starts to snort like a cat. Does he also have a split personality?
I answered honestly, as if I was in absurdity.
“Why should something like that exist?”
“Okay, then. I told you five years ago at the Poison Palace. I want you to… … give me your soul.”
“What? No way… … you… … ?”
I shuddered at the memory that suddenly came to mind.
‘Marry me!’
‘it’s crazy?’
‘I don’t want to practice… … .’
The madwoman I met five years ago.
That was… you? It was a memory I had long since forgotten.
I was astonished at the tenacious bond we had.
Just because of the relationship we had back then, you came to me on your own two feet to say you wanted to get married.
As expected, you are… … .
You’re still crazy.
“So let’s do it, us.”
“what.”
“marriage.”
“As anyone may wish.”
“As I please.”
“Who are you?”
“The most beautiful short hair in the world.”

“Are you completely crazy?”
“The young leader is the craziest.”
“What the hell are you talking about! What kind of a bastard would dare… … .”
“Everyone except me.”
This guy is definitely not normal. Is that something to be said while giggling? He is definitely someone to be avoided.
I frowned and growled.
“I ask again. Will you marry me?”
“yes.”
Don’t blush.
I put my hand on my forehead and swallowed a sigh. At a time when I should be going to Geumbong to uncover the truth about Cheongung, an engagement? And with this guy?
That sounds ridiculous.
And then there’s the quantum angle and… … that’s it.
“We’ve only known each other for a day.”
“It’s common to get married without even seeing each other’s faces. I’ve only seen each other twice, so it’s okay. I like each other.”
“what?”
Dan Ye-hwa pointed at my face without saying a word.
crazy…….
“You haven’t heard my rumor yet, have you? If you knew what I did at the Palace of Hwanhee, you wouldn’t be happy about it.”
“My father said that. The more successful someone is, the more jealous and slanderous they become, which is the true nature hidden behind hypocrisy. I know because I experienced it myself.”
Ha, you’re teaching the kid all sorts of things. You don’t know much about the world.
“I don’t like you.”
“I’m Dan Ye-hwa?”
“That makes it even worse.”
“Lies. That’s what Shikang and Taeyong said. The prettier you are, the more men want to harass you.”
Crazy… … . They are crazy. Now that I think about it, the reason Dan Ye-hwa grew up so strong as a lone general was because of those guys from the Chuksaljo… … .
Wait, the assassins? Do you remember those guys too?
“Pass.”
Dan Yehwa smiled bashfully and woke me from my thoughts.
“What are you talking about?”
“I like that look on your face, upset that your true feelings have been revealed. Let’s get married.”
Ha… … A hollow laugh escaped.
A broad smile with neat teeth and long eyelashes, her appearance is half and half… … no, not at all.
Flirting and romanticizing with women is something only a bum does.
I smiled coldly and rested my feet on the table.
“Good. The appearance is also pretty good. Then come here and rub your feet as much as you want. I’ll rub your feet too. Let’s try to match up.”
“… … Are you kidding me?”
“Why, you don’t want to? You said you wanted to get married? Since we’re going to meet anyway, there’s no harm in meeting in advance.”
“This joke is not funny. No, it’s completely bad.”
“Am I good?”
I approached her with a gloomy expression, showing her my bare feet.
“Oh, don’t come!”
Then she jumps up with a face full of shock and steps back.
Yeah, you’re doing great. Just get out of here.
An engagement between you and me is something that should never happen.
Because everything that the evil spirits do must end up as an illusion.
bang!
I reached out my hand to Dan Ye-hwa, who was pushed against the wall.
And then he spoke in a threatening tone.
“So what? Do you still want to continue like this?”
“Little Master… … Is this the kind of person you are?”
“Then, should I go to the Palace of Hwanhee to listen to a lullaby?”
“Step back.”
When I saw Dan Ye-hwa’s serious expression, a bitterness rose to my lips for no reason.
But the more I did that, the harder I pushed.
The more I felt the evil spirits swaying loudly behind me, the more so.
Let’s put an end to our relationship here.
I grabbed the tip of her chin and yelled.
“Try to be moderate. I don’t have enough free time to play with the likes of you… .”
“pup!”
Bang! Dan Ye-hwa pushed me away and ran outside with tears in her eyes.
And then I just sat down.
I couldn’t breathe properly.
It made my heart ache.
That crazy thing stabbed me in the chest and I fell down dead.
crazy…….
Knock knock!
“No, what happened? Your fiancé ran out crying? Uh… … . Master? Why are you doing that? Yes?”
“Jab… … Ah… … . Yep… … Mo… … .”
Damn fate.
I couldn’t finish my words and just fainted.
*The next day came.
Dan Ye-hwa left, and I spent the whole day lying in bed with my heart in pain.
“If I catch you, I won’t let you off easy. I’ll tear you to pieces like a piece of tofu and step on you.”
He ground his teeth, his anger building up.
Anyway, now that I’ve made this threat, there won’t be any more talk of engagement.
And what’s urgent now is not her, but Cheongung.
I had Yal-Tak send a letter to Gwangmyeong Palace, and then I headed straight to Geum-Bong with Bise-Ik.
The journey was more uneventful and quiet than ever.
Now is the last time.
Their biggest mistake was that they easily leaked the secrets of the Murim Alliance to me.
This time, if we just reveal the truth and what Cheongung is trying to hide, then Father will take action on his own… … .
Once the mountains are cleared, turn your arrows to the Central Plains.
I already have enough prey in my head to throw, so I can just grow my power while the other side is being torn apart by the two tigers’ strategy of competing for food.
As my thoughts came together, I found myself clenching my fists tightly.
And finally, we reached Geumbong Peak.
*Myeonggyo Geumbong Amhae Village
Amhae Village, located at the entrance of Geumbong, was a maze-like place with gray rock walls as big as houses rather than houses or plants.
Thanks to this exotic flavor, a large crowd flocked to this poor and cramped place.
In particular, it was a place that was established as a holy place because it was said that the first cult leader, Cheonma, carved his ambitions into a rock face before going to the Central Plains.
Thanks to this, the place is filled with famous calligraphy works left by the madus, so it was common to be overwhelmed by its grandeur from the moment you first set foot in there.
That’s not all. If you look closely at the words, you can feel the ambition of the demons and your blood boils.
【I will not return until I have taken the Emperor’s head.】
【I will return after turning the Murim Alliance into a red land.】
Of course, the common belief among the fools is that no one has actually done it and returned.
Anyway, maybe it’s the influence of such bold words, or maybe it’s because there are many members of the Presbyterian Church.
The personalities of those staying there were also unique; most of them were free-spirited and full of tyrannical tendencies.
“Did you hit it?”
Sreung! Even if you just bump shoulders on the street, an unfortunate incident could occur where swords are used rather than words.
Perhaps, it would be no exaggeration to say that the true mecca of the mines seen from the central plains is not Ilbong, but this Geumbong Amhaechon.
“Are you going to the Poison Palace?”
At Bisek’s question, I averted my gaze from the bustling scene and shook my head.
“I’m going to the guest house.”
“Your name.”
As the anonymous person said, I came to Geumbong, but I haven’t heard a word about what happened after that.
Moreover, since Amhae Village was as large as Subong Market, it was impossible to go around and ask around.
In the end, is there no choice but to wait for them to come?
As I entered the guest house wearing a black hat, it was crowded with people just like outside.
Even at a glance, this floor is full, and all that’s left is a single, empty seat in a corner on the first floor.
“Come in! Uh… … There’s only one seat over there. How are you, are you okay?”
Jeomsoi scratched the back of his head and spoke sheepishly.
The kitchen stove is placed right behind it, and it gets hot even with the noise.
It seemed like it was not a leftover seat, but a seat that had been avoided.
When Bisek frowned and became angry, I raised my hand.
“No need to make a fuss. Just sit over there.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Jeomsoi nodded and took the lead, guiding everyone to their seats.
As I sat down, the noises of people talking around me began to enter my ears, one by one.
“Shouldn’t the elders step forward? Are you afraid of this and want to speak out? Excommunication? Why, why don’t you just cut off my tongue and shut my mouth!”
“I heard that the third priest I know went to the Palace of Hwanhee and came back as a corpse. Even if he was a small cult leader, isn’t this too much?”
“Okay, I should stop talking. You never know, a black ghost might suddenly appear from somewhere and cut off your head.”
“Ha, even if they are bastards, would they be able to come all the way to Ungamsaengsim Amhaechon? It’s impossible!”
The stories of the events at the Palace of Hwanhee flowed out from time to time amidst the noisy atmosphere.
Bisaiik looked around the room coldly and muttered.
“Shall I get rid of it?”
Just as I was about to answer absentmindedly, a voice cut through me.
[I have come to fetch you. However, anyone who is not permitted to enter cannot enter… … Please quietly send that person away.]
Heaven.
I looked around again with my eyebrows slightly narrowed.
Is that the author eating noodles alone? Or are those two people glancing over here?
Nothing is certain.
Anyway, if you want to enter the cave, you have to come alone… … There’s no way you can’t do it.
I soon gave up looking and told Bisek.
“I have somewhere else to go, so don’t act rashly and wait here.”
“one……!”
Let’s look at him coldly. Bisei quickly lowered his head.
I got up from my seat and went outside, saying as I passed by.
“Make a list of the dead. It seems that the elders won’t be satisfied with just one meeting.”
“Your name.”
I pulled the black lip again and went out of the guest room.
Then the sound began to flow again.
[I will show you. If you walk thirty paces to the left, you will see stairs going up. Come.]
Like a puppet, I moved thirty steps to the left as he said.
Then, in the right corner, an unrefined rock staircase like a canyon came into view.
As we made our way through the crowd and reached the stairs, his words continued.
The content wasn’t much different.
At the fork in the road when you climb the stairs, walk twenty steps to the right, then thirty steps to the left.
At the end of such endless walking, I arrived at a dark, deserted alley between houses.
Besides, if you look down, you’ve been going around and around in circles not too far from the guest house.
Are you trying to tease me now?
I opened my mouth with a serious expression, looking around.
“What on earth are you trying to do now… … Ugh!”
Bam! At that moment, a cloth was placed over my head, blocking my vision, and I felt someone touching my acupoint. Bam!
My mind is gradually fading away.
Finally, a man’s voice could be heard faintly from behind.
“Welcome to the Heavenly Palace.”
I… …was kidnapped like that.
