Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 331

Nangseon Gi Hwan Dam – Part 2, Episode 40

“Cheon Su-seon!! What are you doing right now…!”

Paeng Ga-yeon called out, startled.

She didn’t seem to fully grasp the situation. What she should have been worried about wasn’t the man embedded in the wall, but the furious beast before her.

“Although I am receiving the Paeng family’s hospitality, that is no reason for me to stand idly by while a man assaults my woman, Paeng Seon-ja.”

Paeng Ga-yeon’s face crumpled.

The general situation was easily understood.

She didn’t want to believe it, but that woman was indeed Sa-ssi Se-ga’s [one of the four great clans] Su-seon’s woman.

But even so, laying a hand on another Su-seon was no small matter.

It couldn’t be easily overlooked.

“Do you know who that person is!?”

“A man shamelessly wrestling with a woman. That’s all I saw. What else is there?”

The tone was sarcastic, but the voice was chillingly cold. Paeng Ga-yeon was uncharacteristically flustered.

“That person is a member of the Ji-ssi Se-ga! And a guest of the Paeng family, isn’t he?”

Ji-ssi Se-ga!

“Of the Sea Dragon Clan?”

“If you know, then this will be quicker. Apologize quickly!”

It was then.

“No, there’s no need for that.”

The man who emerged from the collapsed pile of stones walked over.

He was a head taller than Cheonbeom.

“A man should do that much for his woman. I am Ji Heon-wi, the eldest son of the Ji-ssi Se-ga.”

Ji Heon-wi.

It seemed that the Ji-ssi used the ‘Wi’ character in their names, a generational marker.

Ji Heon-wi extended his hand.

He seemed to want a handshake.

Beom smiled faintly.

He welcomed this kind of handshake.

“I am Cheonbeom of the Sa-ssi Se-ga.”

Firmly.

Whoo-oong.

The energy of Ji Heon-wi and Cheonbeom was unleashed. A fierce wind swept past Paeng Ga-yeon and Hwaran’s hair.

Crack, crack!

As their energies intertwined, the standing floor and pillars couldn’t withstand the aftermath and began to split on their own.

Creak, squeak!

A chilling sound of bones echoed continuously from their clasped hands.

But Beom and Ji Heon-wi’s expressions didn’t change at all.

Cheonbeom, who twitched his lips, released his grip first.

“I also came as a guest, so there’s no point in causing unnecessary disturbances. I’ll look forward to a good day with Ji Su-seon later.”

With those words, Beom grabbed Hwaran’s wrist roughly, and his form blurred as he moved with incredible speed.

As Cheonbeom disappeared, Paeng Ga-yeon hurriedly approached Ji Heon-wi.

“Are you alright?”

“…Who is that man?”

Heon-wi, who was always arrogant and generous, looked unusual.

Paeng Ga-yeon, worried that things would escalate, replied.

“He’s an insignificant Ga-seon [a warrior of lower rank] from the frontier. Someone that Ji Su-seon of the Ji-ssi Se-ga doesn’t need to worry about.”

Despite her flattery, Ji Heon-wi’s expression remained unchanged.

Normally, he would have laughed it off after hearing this much.

“An insignificant Ga-seon from the frontier….”

But Ji Heon-wi became even more uncomfortable with her words.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

It was unlike him.

She realized for the first time that the eldest son of the Ji-ssi Se-ga could be this quiet. And she clearly saw the handprint on his hand.

‘He mastered Dragon Claw Crushing, so his grip strength is enough to crush even a mountain….’

To leave a handprint on that hand.

At first, she couldn’t hide her surprise.

And soon, she became interested.

More than she thought.

His inner strength was profound.

“I’ll go back first.”

“Are you leaving?”

“The fun is gone, so I have to go.”

But Paeng Ga-yeon felt that his back looked smaller than usual today.

Ji Heon-wi, the eldest son of the Ji-ssi Se-ga, who was always confident wherever he went.

Her smile became more prominent.

“I’ll see you off.”

Strangely, her steps felt light.

* * *

“It hurts, San-gun [term of endearment].”

He grabbed her wrist and dragged her without a word.

Beom seemed very angry and threw Hwaran into the bedchamber.

“I told you to bring alcohol, not to be grabbed by another man’s wrist.”

Judging from his frowning face and slightly trembling voice, he seemed very angry.

But Hwaran pouted and stroked her wrist.

“Then who told you to send me on errands for alcohol? It’s not enough to keep a beautiful woman by your side, but you send her to get alcohol, so that kind of accident happens.”

“Are you saying you did well?”

“What did I do wrong? Did something happen because I did something wrong? In short, it was an accident. An accident.”

She was right.

Honestly, what did she do wrong?

If you start with the beginning, it was his fault for sending her to get alcohol.

When Cheonbeom didn’t say anything, Hwaran smiled and lay down on the bed.

“I’m usually a woman who runs errands for San-gun, but in the world, my appearance is no different from a fairy. And it’s not just my appearance, is it? Everywhere here is flawless jade, a symbol of abundance, so it can’t be helped.”

She subtly reveals her bare legs and loosens her clothes.

“Geez.”

Cheonbeom was dumbfounded and ended up laughing.

“Oh, I shouldn’t laugh.”

He was going to say something stern, but it didn’t work for Hwaran.

Rather, she was seducing him, thinking that now was the time, so how could he not laugh?

It would be strange not to laugh.

“Were you afraid of losing me?”

She even provokes him.

How could he not laugh?

At her question, Beom approached the bedchamber and said.

“I wasn’t afraid. I will never have my things taken away.”

He lifted her chin.

It was close enough for their noses to touch.

The scent of a woman stung his nose.

“But why were you so angry?”

“Of course, because you tried to covet my things.”

Hwaran’s smile spread.

“Then, would you like to covet San-gun’s things today?”

She grabs Beom’s collar and pulls him.

Her lips came out to meet him.

But.

“No way.”

Beom’s hand pushed against Ran’s forehead.

“Why!”

“It’s a punishment for being grabbed by another man, you wench.”

Thwack!

“Ack!”

He flicked her forehead, and she held her forehead with tears in her eyes.

“Is it because of this hand? San-gun, look at this. My hand is gone.”

Looking closely, her hand had turned into golden petals and disappeared.

It was quite a bizarre sight.

“Is it okay now?”

“What’s okay? Just go to sleep. You must have been surprised too.”

“Sleep is not something you do alone.”

It’s nonsense again.

Do you sleep alone or with someone else?

He shook his head, and she clung to his back like a snake.

“I didn’t want to say this, but I was so, so scared when I was caught by a bandit-like guy earlier.”

“You didn’t look like that.”

“People usually don’t know what they look like on the outside.”

“You’re not even a person.”

“Since I’m not a person, you shouldn’t look at me from the outside.”

“That’s true.”

It’s not wrong. But as always, it’s not right either.

“What if that guy’s face comes out in my dream again? I’m too scared to sleep alone, so take responsibility.”

“Then don’t sleep. It doesn’t matter if you don’t sleep for a few days, does it?”

“…San-gun.”

“What.”

“Why have you become such a heartless man? I didn’t raise you like this.”

“Hmm, is it because of the winds of time? I’ve realized one thing.”

“What is it.”

“Most of Ran’s words are nonsense.”

It’s a fact he realized too late.

Ran puffed out her cheeks.

“You’re too much. If you keep doing that, I’m going to marry that bandit guy.”

“Don’t say things you don’t mean. And will that be up to you?”

“He liked me a lot?”

“I won’t send you, so will that happen?”

“Ah… Do you like me that much? Why don’t you just lock me up and raise me?”

She’s already in a good mood and spouting nonsense.

“Okay. I’ve made up my mind.”

“Don’t eat it. I’m already afraid of what you’re going to say.”

“I won’t go outside from now on, so bring me the rice, tea, and alcohol to eat. You’ll have to clean the chamber pot, so be prepared.”

“Shut up and go to sleep. It’s late.”

“Are you really going to make me sleep alone? Is that why you told me to become a sword spirit to treat me like this? Huh? Huh? Answer me!”

Beom closed his ears.

He can gather his mind, energy, and body into one to create a Won-ok [a core of energy], and control every movement of his organs and organs.

And that was possible even with hearing.

In short, he blocked his hearing.

‘It’s quiet now.’

Once she starts acting like that, there’s no end to it. It’s better to ignore her like this.

As he smiled with satisfaction, Hwaran’s voice spread in Beom’s head.

-Why did you make me a sword spirit if you were going to do this!

It was telepathy.

Beom hurriedly blocked telepathy as well.

Then, Hwaran seemed really angry and started biting Beom’s ear. She wasn’t satisfied and bit his neck. It’s hard to know if she’s a sword spirit or a puppy.

“Ran.”

He released the blockage of hearing.

“Why!”

“Remember the man from earlier.”

“That bandit-like guy?”

“It was Ji-ssi Se-ga. You know that.”

“Ah….”

Only then did Hwaran become quiet.

He casually brushed it off, but he was definitely from the Sea Dragon Clan.

He is a descendant of Ji Ran-wi.

He had a bad relationship with someone he had to be careful of from the start.

‘It doesn’t matter yet.’

Anyway, the Martial Arts Competition is about to begin.

Once the competition starts, these minor things tend to be buried.

After that, you can think about it later.

He won’t do anything reckless before the Martial Arts Competition just because of what happened just now.

“You have to be careful in the future.”

Hwaran closed her mouth this time at his serious face.

In the sky of the Upper Realm, he is still weak, so it is right to be careful of what he can be careful of.

Especially those who can be his enemies.

“It’s just the beginning. You have to button the first button well so that there are no problems later. The place I will reach is such a place, and the great path I will take is such a solitary path.”

A rugged and lonely hillside.

“It’s a path I can’t go without you.”

He says indifferently while checking the letter.

Ran buried her face in his neck from behind.

“It’s hot.”

“I’m warm, so it’s okay.”

“I’m hot.”

“It’s okay.”

Geez.

Beom smiled and left it like that for a while.

The night grew deeper, but the two’s embrace did not fall apart.

* * *

There was a clash with Ji Heon-wi, the eldest son of the Ji-ssi Se-ga, but strangely, it went smoothly.

No other words came out, and no problems arose from it. He had prepared for Ji Heon-wi to pick a fight, but fortunately, nothing happened.

Beom thought it was good and continued his Thunder God training by frequently interacting with Ho Jun-seong. Occasionally, Paeng Ga-yeon would come and ask to join in and talk about this and that, but Beom would only respond appropriately.

He didn’t like her.

‘Even if they are the same Jeokroe-jurang [a high ranking position], they are different.’

It’s a world of difference from Hongyeon.

Anyway, Beom spent his days diligently, building friendships with Ho Jun-seong.

Perhaps because the owners got along so well, their Thunder Gods also showed themselves living together except when they were sparring.

At first glance, it looked like a lion and an eagle were playing, which was nice to see.

After training like that for half a month.

A cloud staircase stretched out from the gate of Tongcheon Sugung [Palace Reaching Heaven], located above Hagong [Lower Sky].

It was the beginning of the Upper World Martial Arts Competition.
