Romance of Nangseon – Part 2, Episode 150
Kyarareureuk.
Two women and a man were intertwined in the bedroom, their bare skin exposed.
“Hehe, Brother!”
“Ugh! What—what are you doing, Sabi! How can you suddenly open the door like that!”
Unlike Huhae, who hurriedly hid his manhood with a blanket, the Moryong sisters glared with icy eyes.
“Why are you getting it up! Get out of there now!? These women are notorious *jeonggwi* [ghosts that enhance their cultivation by sucking men’s essence] among the Four Seasons’ Gwisun!”
*Jeonggwi*?
Ghosts that enhance their cultivation by sucking men’s essence?
He turned his head in disbelief, only to see the Moryong sisters already with reddened eyes. Their appearance was so pitiful that he couldn’t even imagine them being such cruel ghosts.
“Is it true?”
“It’s unfair. We just connected with Gongja-nim’s heart… sob, sob!”
Could there be more sorrowful tears than these?
Even Huhae, who was watching, felt his heart ache, and anger surged.
“How can you call these frail women *jeonggwi* of the Four Seasons! Even if it’s you, Sabi, I will no longer tolerate such rudeness. Apologize at once!”
He 벌떡 [*beoljjeok*, abruptly] stood up and shouted, revealing Huhae’s naked body.
Sabi covered her eyes with her hand, looking at the unsightly flesh between his legs.
“What are you showing!”
“I said apologize!”
Huhae shouted without paying attention, but soon 천범 [Cheonbeom, a name] appeared behind Sabi, and he was startled.
“What an unsightly sight. At least put on some clothes.”
“Dae, Daebu-nim [Great Uncle].”
Huhae calls 천범 [Cheonbeom] Daebu, claiming it is right to call him that since he is his guardian and the one to whom his father entrusted the family treasure.
Huhae was startled by the appearance of 천범 [Cheonbeom] and hurriedly put on his clothes.
The Moryong sisters, who had been crying naked, were now looking at 천범 [Cheonbeom] meaningfully, as if nothing had happened.
“Gongja-nim, where is our sister? Are you alone?”
“Your sister is here.”
When he opened his palm, ashes fluttered to the floor.
“Eh….”
The Moryong sisters, who had been momentarily stunned, realized the meaning and emitted murderous intent.
“Did you kill Jeong-eonni [older sister]!”
The Moryong sisters, who had been acting like frail women, suddenly exuded a violent aura and became enraged.
Then, their beautiful skin became dry and hard like wood, and their stunning appearance turned into that of a wooden doll.
As they transformed into the appearance of ghosts in an instant, Huhae was greatly shocked and hurriedly hid behind 천범 [Cheonbeom].
“We were going to take your essence because you were beautiful and have you serve us for the rest of our lives, but you dare kill our eldest sister?!”
“Even if the heavens forgive you, the Moryong sisters will not!”
The Moryong sisters, whose entire bodies had turned into withered trees, emitted wooden tentacles from their entire bodies and attacked 천범 [Cheonbeom].
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Sabi spun around, appeared in blue armor with a sharp spear, and cut off all the tentacles that were rushing in all directions.
The armor was beautiful, with dense scales and wings attached.
Of course, the spear was the same, making her look very suitable for Sabi.
Sabi cut off all the tentacles and took out a flag from her chest and threw it.
Mysterious light leaked from the fluttering flag, and suddenly it split into sixteen and disappeared into the air as if seeping in.
At the same time, seawater flooded the floor, and the mountain lodge instantly transformed into the middle of the sea.
“The enemy of all women! We will tear your limbs apart!”
천범 [Cheonbeom] decided to watch for a while, not knowing why she was so angry.
‘She fights quite well.’
She instantly created a *hwangye* [illusory world] to create an environment advantageous to herself, and at the same time, she was using it to relentlessly attack. She turned the surroundings into the sea to tie their feet, and she was using her natural advantages to attack.
From the beginning, Sabi had the inherent nature of being a fish and then a bird, so that level was easy for her.
At that time, one of the Moryong sisters was trapped in a whirlpool in the seabed.
Sabi did not miss the opportunity and swung her spear in the whirlpool, attacking fiercely, and the *jeonggwi’s* limbs were cut off.
“Kyaak! You, you!!”
“I’ll tear you to pieces and kill you!”
It was pushed back by Tamhwa, but frankly, the skill Sabi showed was unexpected.
When I thought about who it was similar to, I thought it was similar to Yangmi, who served alcohol.
Looking at the balanced martial arts, it seemed that she was learning to use both hands.
If someone else had seen Sabi’s battle now, they would have surely called her a Munmuseon [a master of both martial and literary arts].
“Are you just going to watch?”
When he glared at Huhae, he was looking at the Moryong sisters, who had turned into bizarre figures, with an unbelievable face.
“You have a good stomach. To roll around with things like that.”
“Ugh, ugh!”
He vomited, feeling disgusted even by his own thoughts, and was filled with anger.
“Sabi, I’ll help too!”
“I don’t even want to see your face, so get lost!”
“Ah, alright.”
Huhae, who was about to join, retreated like a puppy again at Sabi’s fierce threat, aiming a spear at him.
“Why are you so scared?”
“If you’re not afraid after seeing that face, you’re not a real man….”
“Tsk.”
천범 [Cheonbeom] tried to hit him but held back.
His father and brother were so dignified, but I don’t know why this guy is like this.
“Kyaaaaak!!”
“That’s right! Kill them all, Sabi!”
Sabi killed one *jeonggwi*.
It was thanks to being properly caught in 술법 [*sulbeop* (術法), a technique; trick; art; magic].
“Heo, heok, hoo….”
But Sabi also seemed a little tired.
Using powerful 신통 [*sin-tong* (神通), supernatural power] in addition to *hwangye* [illusory world], her 선력 [*seon-lyeok* (仙力), magical power] seemed to be running out.
“You get tired quickly because you only use big techniques. You must be very angry. It’s not good to fight emotionally.”
천범 [Cheonbeom] looked at Huhae with a pathetic look.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I just thought it suited you well.”
“Yes? What?”
“It’s nothing. I should step in soon.”
“Suddenly? Sabi is fighting well….”
“There’s no need to get hurt.”
Huhae tilted his head, not knowing what that meant, but soon 천범 [Cheonbeom] disappeared and he couldn’t ask again.
And then.
Sabi’s scream was heard.
“Keuek! You cowardly bastard!”
“What’s cowardice when you’re about to die!”
The *jeonggwi* had tied Sabi’s body tightly with tentacles. It was something that happened during a moment of carelessness.
But 천범 [Cheonbeom] was not one to just watch it.
“Don’t come! If you take one more step, I’ll kill this woman!”
“Try it.”
“You think I can’t if you tell me to!”
The *jeonggwi* gave a sly smile and gave strength as if to crush Sabi’s body.
But, strangely, he couldn’t put strength into his body and his whole body trembled.
“Keok, keoeok.”
The *jeonggwi* couldn’t come to his senses.
Because there was a ferocious aura behind the man looking at him.
A murderous intent that could not be dared to approach.
It was the murderous intent of the sky.
Moreover, this energy was not that of a 상선 [*sangseon* (上仙), High Immortal], but of a higher 향선 [*hyangseon* (香仙), Fragrant Immortal].
“Ha, Hyangseon…!”
Since entering the mountain lodge, 범 [Beom, short for Cheonbeom] had been hiding his realm, but when he properly released his energy, the *jeonggwi* could not come to his senses.
Moreover, the murderous intent became even stronger after receiving 살겁 [*sal-geop* (殺劫), a murderous disaster].
Cheonsalgi (天殺氣, Heavenly Murderous Energy) was something that ordinary people could not endure even more.
천범 [Cheonbeom] threw Sabi to Huhae and asked in front of the *jeonggwi*.
“Have you ever seen a Suseon (水仙, Water Immortal) of Sugye (水界, Water Realm) in Hyogu’s family?”
“No, I haven’t…!”
“Think carefully. You’ll die whether you say no or yes.”
“Then I’m going to die anyway….”
Crocodile tears flowed sadly from the *jeonggwi’s* eyes.
But 천범 [Cheonbeom] didn’t care.
“There will be a difference between dying painfully and dying comfortably. Or I can annihilate you so that you can’t even reincarnate.”
Then the *jeonggwi* trembled and thought desperately.
“Ah! I, I know! If you go south from here, breaking through the golden and silver clouds, you will find the palace of Mangak Elder, the owner of that place! He has a hobby of collecting unusual things, and Suseon (水仙, Water Immortal) are no exception, so if you can only go there….”
“Mangak?”
“If you take, take me with you, I’ll guide you…!”
“You already said the location with your mouth and you’re talking about guiding me.”
“Ho, 혹시 [*hoksi*, perhaps] you can’t find it….”
“Thank you. But I don’t need it.”
Hwareureuk [sound of burning].
“Kkyaaaaaak!!”
The *jeonggwi* burned in 천범 [Cheonbeom]’s 금천지화 [*geumcheonjihwa* (金天之火), Golden Heavenly Fire] and turned to ashes in an instant.
“I’m glad I came here just in case. Thanks to you, things seem to be getting easier than I thought.”
Huhae, who was carrying the exhausted Sabi on his back, swallowed 침 [*chim*, saliva] at 천범 [Cheonbeom]’s cruel hand.
“A, are you going there?”
“I don’t know if I can find a clue even if I go to Hyogu, so it wouldn’t be bad to stop by once.”
“Ri, right now?”
Huhae gestured to the exhausted Sabi.
It was a sound asking if it would be better to rest for a while since Sabi was quite tired.
“A guy who collapses from exhaustion is unlikely to survive even on the battlefield. Furthermore, if it is caused by being consumed by emotions and not being able to distribute power smoothly, he will die even more easily.”
“But Sabi is a *jeonggwi*….”
“I never told you to face him alone. You may have to face stronger enemies and a larger number of enemies in the future.”
It’s not just because it’s wartime.
Such things always continue to happen in life.
“Will you be consumed by emotions every time and collapse by consuming power without thinking?”
“I’m sorry….”
“Still, you killed one *jeonggwi*, so can’t you say a word of congratulations!”
“Do you want it?”
“I don’t need it.”
“That’s what he says.”
범 [Beom] sneered.
“Why should I be kind to the guys who tried to sell me and the guys who tried to put me in trouble? You must be mistaken, but I am your guardian, but that is because of the wishes of the former head of the family who fought with me, not my wishes. I don’t care whether you call me Daebu or whatever, but don’t expect anything more than that.”
Something rose to Huhae’s throat, but he couldn’t spit it out.
천범 [Cheonbeom] is right.
Huhae himself had a history of trying to sell 천범 [Cheonbeom] for the Hu family, and Sabi was intoxicated with the power of the family and regarded him as a mere plaything and touched him.
Somehow, he came to possess the family heirloom, and naturally, he took it for granted that he would take care of them.
They took it for granted that he would take care of them.
But 범 [Beom] pointed out their conscience that was trying to gloss over it.
Our relationship still has a lot of resentment left.
“Do you want us to die?”
천범 [Cheonbeom] made an absurd expression when Sabi spoke with difficulty.
“I don’t care.”
What the former heads of the family asked was only to pass on the family treasure and vision.
To be honest, it was something he didn’t have to do, but 천범 [Cheonbeom] had been hiding and keeping them alive until now to keep his loyalty to those who had fought with him.
To put it coldly, it didn’t matter how Huhae and Gonsabi died.
“The thing at that time….”
Sabi bowed her head and hesitated.
It seemed like she was going to apologize.
“That’s enough. Now, more than that, I have to go to the place where the man named Mangak is. If it’s difficult to move, stay here, and if you have any energy left, follow me.”
천범 [Cheonbeom] left, and Huhae and Sabi wondered what to do.
“Let’s follow him. It’s more likely to die if we stay here. Daebu speaks so coldly, but he’s not the kind of person who would just watch if we’re in danger of dying. He helped you when you were in danger just now.”
“That was just because he had something to ask the *jeonggwi*….”
“Sabi-ya, didn’t you see Daebu-nim’s appearance at Munmuseon’s funeral? He’s not that cruel. And even if we’re hated now, we’ll still get attached if we hang out together. That’s why I’m calling him Daebu on purpose.”
“Don’t you have any pride, Brother?”
“I didn’t have that in the first place. If I had, would I be like this?”
He seems to know very well that his condition is not great.
“Let’s go quickly, now that I see it, it’s a place where evil spirits are rampant, so if you stay here for a long time, your body will be more damaged.”
Sabi nodded silently on Huhae’s back.
‘It’s a little sad that there’s no trust.’
Soon Huhae and Sabi turned into streaks of light and followed 천범 [Cheonbeom].
