Yellow Dragon’s Jewel (2)
Jegal Hye-mi returned to where her group was waiting.
“Sister! Are you okay? You look really tired.”
Namgung Soran, who approached her first, spoke to her cautiously and examined her face.
Dark circles under the eyes and somewhat rough skin texture.
Although she had not been away for very long, her complexion, which had been healthy just a moment ago, had become haggard, as if she might collapse at any moment, just as she had said.
“Yeah, it’s okay. It’s just because you overdid it a little. It’ll be okay if you rest for a bit.”
No matter how many different means were mobilized to reduce the burden, there was no way that such a miracle could be accomplished without a price.
Rather, it would be better if it ended with just being tired.
Ha Seung-hoon, who knew that fact better than anyone else as one of the parties involved, approached her with a gentle smile.
Thanks to you, I was able to finish the work smoothly, so I wanted to take care of you in this way.
“Thank you for your hard work, Miss Zhuge. Fortunately, it seems like there were no particular problems.”
“Oh, Your Majesty. That’s right. I just came to help with a ceremony.”
“It seems like you’ve overdone it. Come here and rest quickly. I’ll ask the goblins here if there’s anything that can help you recover your energy.”
“Hehehe, thank you for your concern.”
A bashful smile appeared on her lips at his consideration for her.
That moment when a soft atmosphere surrounded them.
“Ah! I know that! Sister, come over here! I found something good while I was walking around earlier.”
In the meantime, Namgung Soran suddenly appeared, grabbed her arm, and pulled her towards him.
“There are so many amazing places here? This hot spring is excellent for relieving fatigue and healing wounds, and it’s also great for skin care. I’ve been waiting to go with my sister, so this happened to be a good opportunity.”
Then he winked one eye and started walking with a confident look.
“What’s wrong?”
“When else would we come to a place like this? We should do everything we can when we get the chance. And since we’re invited guests, everything’s free!”
“You have a lot of money in your family…”
“Isn’t it better to save when you can? It’s different from the currency used among monsters. And I heard it from the fox employee earlier, but that is…”
She suddenly lowered her voice, brought her mouth to Jegal Hye-mi’s ear, and began to whisper something.
Although she was still somewhat lacking in the skill of using techniques such as transmission of sounds, she was able to imitate them so well that not a single sound was heard outside.
“···really?”
“Really.”
“···let’s go.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
And then the two of them quickly got along, greeted Ha Seung-hoon, and quickly left.
Horus didn’t know all the facilities on Geumodo Island because he mostly stayed in the dragons’ abode, but it seemed like he had heard something that piqued his interest.
He chuckled as he watched the backs of the two people disappearing side by side.
I was a little worried because he had just performed such a grand ceremony, but seeing him like that reassured me that he didn’t seem to have completely lost his energy.
‘Well, there are certainly a lot of things here that are quite out of the ordinary for humans.’
As Namgung Soran said, hot springs that improve skin were only the beginning.
Bamboo shoots that make you grow taller when eaten, a pungent incense that raises even the dead, and flower buds that make you invisible when rubbed on your body.
‘Wait a minute, now that I think about it, this isn’t something you can just laugh about and move on from, is it?’
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he thought about something.
As a “dimensional merchant”, his intuition was telling.
That there has been a strong smell of money in the air since a while ago.
Up until now, there were various restrictions, so I had given up on it, but now, isn’t it possible to overcome those problems?
‘I need to think about this seriously. What should I do···.’
That’s when Ha Seung-hoon was lost in thought, thinking about a new revenue model.
“Hmm, it’s a fox.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from the side.
Mokin-kwang was a man who had been loitering around the group since they arrived at Geumodo Island, perhaps because he was bored.
He said that he was not bored and that he was just taking care of them as ordered by his master, but no matter how I looked at him, he looked like an old man who was just meddling around here and there.
“A fox? Oh, you mean the hot spring the ladies just went to?”
“Well, that place is also run by fox demons. I’m not talking about that one. I’m talking about that little girl from earlier.”
“Is this Lady Namgung?”
Ha Seung-hoon tilted his head at the words of the person he was talking to, who was dressed in an incongruous manner that only a Taoist priest would wear.
I don’t think he actually called her a fox demon, it’s just a metaphor.
If I had to be specific, I would say she felt more like a puppy than a fox.
‘No, they’re both crabs, so is that it?’
Mok In-kwang glanced at Ha Seung-hoon, who was blinking repeatedly, then closed his eyes tightly with a smirk on his lips.
The level of Namgung Soran that he saw was first-class.
For a girl just entering her late teens to already be a top-class player was something that only a genius could do.
In fact, except for a few masters of the Hyeon-gyeong system who could be considered out of the question, Hwa-gyeong was practically the best.
‘This vicious monster should be made an exception.’
Considering that the elder level of a major sect is generally at the top and the leader level of a military unit is at the top, the first-class is a position that is treated as an elite warrior in any sect.
It was not uncommon for people to establish sects in the field and raise disciples while acting as leaders.
As a direct descendant of a prestigious family, it would be possible because he had talent, hard work, and abundant support.
Why would a daughter of a prestigious family with such outstanding abilities and outstanding looks leave the safety of her family and do something like that?
“Hey, Dragon Sword. It’s annoying. Let’s have a go.”
“Huh? Suddenly? And the Heavenly Dragon Sword···”
“Damn, you don’t deserve the word ‘chivalry’. Hehe, you’re not a bastard, are you?”

“Oh, good. I was just in the mood for some movement.”
Mokin-kwang gritted his teeth as he looked at Go Soo, a young, handsome man with a good personality who was attractive to everyone.
Isn’t this a bit too much!
How can you say that he is a strong person of the same level as you?
I knew full well that I had a dirty personality, so I had never really paid attention to it until now, but I couldn’t help but feel angry when the obvious control group was standing right next to me.
‘And that’s called Heavenly Dragon Swordsman? What a cool name! Some people still call him by the funny nickname of Gu Gwang Ma!’
What was even more annoying was that the robber who had stolen the nickname ‘Mad Horse’ from him suddenly disappeared and was not active.
From the day the world was restored using the Dragon Child until now.
‘Why did you take it away if you weren’t going to use it! If you’re not going to use it, give it back, you son of a bitch!’
Of course, now it was just a meaningless cry.
Ha Seung-hoon, who had been staring blankly at Mok In-kwang, who was grumbling and getting worked up all by himself, shook his head.
I think that the madness that had subsided must have relapsed because Harley didn’t have physical therapy.
I had no awareness that I was responsible for most of the other person’s stress.
‘Well, if you’re that proactive, it’ll probably help a lot in raising your proficiency in “Mugeuk.”
No matter what, Mokin Gwang is also a master who looks at the current situation from the edge of the mirror.
There will certainly be enlightenment gained from sharing martial arts with an opponent in the same position.
‘They’ll be out of their minds for a while too.’
He glanced in the direction of the Yongsinjeon and shrugged.
The five dragons, including Horus, as well as other dragons, will find it difficult to pay attention to this for a while.
Well, that can’t be helped.
The bloodline of the Yellow Dragon was completely cut off during the great war in which all Yokai suffered fatal damage.
Because it has finally been fully resurrected.

“Hey, want to try this?”
[Wow!]
“Wow! I ate it! It’s cute! It’s lovely! You want to eat it again?”
A girl in her mid-teens with long, braided black hair, Black Dragon, jumped up and down in place, making a fuss.
Then he took out something like a faintly glowing will-o’-the-wisps from his pocket and carefully held it out in front of him.
Towards the dragon’s snout, which was round and small, without any sharp edges.
Quick—
The little yellow dragon blinked its round eyes at him and ate it whole without any hesitation.
The corners of the black dragon’s mouth twitched at the sight of him shaking his head repeatedly and making a salty sound.
“Ughhh! I ate again! Okay, next is···”
“Go ahead, Black Dragon. Hwi-ah hasn’t been born for long. No matter how good it is for your health, overeating is only harmful.”
“···Baekryong, if you’re going to say something like that, why don’t you put down the immortal fruit in your hand? It’s not convincing at all.”
“Ahem.”
The white dragon turned his head and coughed in vain at the black dragon’s words, which he answered with a sullen look.
But even then, he had no intention of putting down the peach-like fruit he was holding in his hand.
“excuse me···.”
Horus let out a small sigh at the farce unfolding right in front of him and cautiously opened his mouth.
But he was not given a chance to complain about the current situation.
I opened my mouth to the point where the sweet fruit just ate itself, and before I knew it, I was munching on it and missed the timing.
“A cute thing next to a cute thing. This is precious.”
“Ahem, ahem. Well, not bad.”
“Red Dragon? Is that a fire storage facility? When did it come from…?”
“Hmph! This is the moment when the successor to the Yellow Dragon lineage, which had been completely cut off, was finally born again. We have a duty to record this moment and pass it on to future generations, Blue Dragon.”
“As expected, it’s the Red Dragon. That’s right. ···You’ll share it with me later, right?”
The dragon’s Yeouiju could adjust its size at will.
From beads that are easy to carry even in human size, to rocks that are easy to bite when transformed into a giant dragon.
The Yeouiju used in this ritual was kept in a size about the size of two adult fists combined, so naturally the size of the yellow dragon born from it had to be small as well···.
“Tsk tsk, you really grow up fast?”
[Huh?]
Horus swallowed the fruit in his mouth and looked over his shoulder at the small dragon peeking out.
The silky body that wrapped around the upper body of a boy of six or seven years old had grown from the size of a loach when it first came out of Yeouiju to the size of a full-fledged snake.
‘Is that natural since they weren’t normal creatures in the first place?’
It would have been the same even if the size of the hatching egg had been increased to the size of a house from the beginning.
What matters is the energy invested initially and the energy consumed during the subsequent growth process.
Horus grinned and carefully stroked the head of the baby yellow dragon, Hwiryeong, with one hand.
‘Don’t get sick and grow up well.’
The boy, who had his eyes tightly shut at the sincere touch, twisted his body and rubbed his head against his hand.
“iced coffee-.”
“Huh? Cheongryong? Are you okay? Come to your senses!”
“···Jikryong, it is basic to store records that may be lost in multiple locations. You know that, right?”
“Huh, well?”
He paid no attention to the loud noise coming from the outfield and focused on the sense of unity he felt from Hwiryeong.
It wasn’t just because of her attachment to the child who was born thanks to her.
‘This is the true power of the “Yellow Dragon’s Jewel.”
I felt it.
The invisible string of fate that connected him and Hwiryeong while presiding over the ceremony.
Woohoo—
A faint energy flowed from Horus’ fingertips.
It was a power that came from the newborn spirit, but it was not borrowed from this child.
‘It was additionally granted to me in proportion to that. And this power is similar to that of Yeouiju.’
In other words, the very existence of this child was like another miracle to him.
The Yeouiju, which greatly amplifies the dragon’s abilities, is an item that can only be used once unless it is against the will of heaven.
Hwiryeong’s head shook back and forth as he was stroked with a satisfied smile.
‘It’s a total totem.’
Although it is only a newborn baby dragon, its growth speed is extraordinary, perhaps because of its extraordinary birth.
As this child grows, the power he can handle will grow.
It was an ability that only he could use, and was not allowed to be used by other dragons who were the pillars of the ritual, or even by Jegal Hye-mi, who acted as a mediator with the dragon god as a shaman.
‘That’s not all. Right now, there’s only one Whirlwind, but if we can increase the number of Yellow Dragons here, and if we can raise those children safely…’
How strong can Horus become?
A breath from a single Yeouiju blew away the entire city of Beijing.
Here, the power that would be achieved when the second and third amplifications were added and inflated several times was unimaginable.
But he couldn’t put his idea into practice right away.
Cheongryong, who had come to inspect the situation of the confession, expressed his displeasure at his request.
“I just used up most of the energy I had accumulated through the ritual. To be honest, it’s almost impossible to run the underworld right now. Of course, since the monsters that used to reside in the underworld are now free to come out, if I have time, I’ll recover again…”
Even taking that into account, it was said that it would be difficult to do so in the near future.
In that helpless situation, even Horus gave up—.
‘So, does that mean we just need to solve the energy problem?’
—Didn’t do it.
If it doesn’t work, make it happen.
He recalled the words of the great sages of old, returned to his room, stroked Hwiryeong’s head, and sat quietly lost in thought.
A brutal and evil organization that has driven the world to the brink of destruction and plunder.
Recalling the memory of robbing the entire warehouse of the Cheonmasingyo.
***
A cozy, private haven just outside of Seoul.
“···That’s what happened.”
I let out a small sigh as I sat on the chair in front of the computer.
And then he looked down at the steps and muttered softly.
“Why are you here?”
[Q?]
Hwiryeong, who had been blinking her round eyes and meeting my trembling gaze, tilted her head.
Still wrapped around one of my legs.
