After a long talk while sipping alcohol, Eun Bi-yeon glanced at Geom Woo-bin. “Looking at you as well, I can see the kind of growth spurt you have.”
And, as chills ran down her spine, Hong gently pressed her shoulder. “Our executioner will be a wonderful person who surpasses the master.”
“What? My brother, who worships the Demon Gentleman like a god, actually just said that?”
“Because he is the metabolic type of the Blood Lion.”
“What the…” Eun Bi-yeon looked at Geom Woo-bin again.
“It sounds really absurd, but believe me because I’ve proven it. And oh? I ran out of alcohol.” Eun Bi-yeon, who had been walking around in circles, suddenly moved to Seo Seok-san.
“Why… … Come on…”
“More alcohol.”
“You come by my side only when there is something absolutely necessary…”
“Brother, don’t do that, give me a drink. Hehehe!” She definitely looked cute at her age. “It was something I cherished to drink while traveling.”
They had no choice but to release the scammer. If even one of the Blood Lions was recognized as a younger brother, it would be because he was the youngest of all of them.
Sitting around the rocks, they eventually became nauseous, telling them to pour and drink all night long. He could drive out his drinking spirit with his inner strength, but no one did. They were pleasantly drunk and fell asleep on the rocks, and Geom Woo-bin covered them with a blanket.
“It really feels like a family trip….”
Eun Bi-yeon, who was the drunkest but drank the least amount of alcohol, woke up first.
Wow! Wow!
Geom Woo-bin, playing with a puppy beside her nail, caught her eye. When she woke up, Geom Woo-bin smiled broadly. Eun Bi-yeon thought it was a very clear smile.
“Are you awake? just a moment.” With that, Geom Woo-bin entered the hut. She was brought into her sacred hut by a man, and she was strangely not upset.
As Woo-bin eventually came back out, a steaming hot pot was held in his hand. “The priest said it was the best for a hangover.” Her stomach wasn’t that sore, but she emptied it at once. “It’s okay. But what about that dog?”
“Are you Oh Seon? She went to a nearby prefecture and bought it.”
“Nearby county? No matter how high your rank is, it would take more than two sijin round trip.”
“Yes. It took that long.”
Geom Woo-bin, who was carrying her dog, held it out to Eun Bi-yeon.
“It’s a gift.”
“Not as bad as her friend, but it will soothe her boredom a little.”
It was the first time she had received a gift ever since she was young.
“Oh, thank you. But why is your name Oh Seon?”
“The name of our manor in Hangzhou is Wushen Manor. Don’t forget it.”
“Inseok-ah, what are you going to do if I come to see you?”
“That’s the name I came up with. It is better to live with a group than to live alone.”
Geom Woo-bin continued as they watched the sleeping Blood Lion. “I only found out after meeting the priests.”
At this, Eun Bi-yeon narrowed her eyes and glared at him. “Are you also aiming for the defense of the North Sea Ice Palace?” ”
Yes? No! How could that be?!
“Ho ho ho! It’s only a joke. If there is a Blood Lion, what use is it to be a warrior at the North Sea Ice Palace?”
Eun Bi-yeon, although young, was very unfamiliar with herself smiling in front of her man.
‘Well, I initially thought so… I didn’t know that this situation would be comfortable.’
And with that, one by one, the Blood Lions woke up and started eating Yeonjatang that Geom Woo-bin had cooked.
The time for parting had soon come. Geom Woo-bin and the three of her left the hut first, and Yeon Geom-Hong was left alone. Looking at their backs as they left, Bi-yeon said, “I never thought I would envy someone twice.”
“What are you envious of? Twice as well.”
“He has one thing I’ve been envious of ever since. Friends who will stand by him no matter what. I was really envious of that. But today you make me jealous again.”
“Our death penalty?”
“I think it’s written as death penalty and read as disciple? Or son?”
Almighty Hong only smiled. “He seems like a really good kid. How can you grow like that among Blood Lions?”
“And that’s why we respect the death penalty. Knowing our strength and realizing what we have, if we were a hundred, we would have become a hundred fools… On the contrary, the smell of blood on us seems to be fading little by little when we are with the death penalty.”
“Will the smell of blood on my body go away?”
“You want to come?”
“Nope. I’ve been living here for forty years. Still, I will never forget this moment, all thanks to the puppy Woo-bin gave me.”
They set up in Yangyang County, Hubei Province, where Zhuge Sega resided. Even if one were to walk slowly, it would be because of Zhuge Guk, who washes his face in gold, that he even reached the place where he would arrive at a different angle.
“I should have killed him then, but he saved me for nothing.”
Twelve years ago, the Blood Lion met with Zhuge Zhugeuk, which proved to be quite the problem. If one were to go to Zhugesega like this, their identity will be exposed. With that being said, they simply decided to play the role.
“What the…! You have to play a role at this age.”
“Yeah, what are you doing? Just live as you are.” Hong pouted his lips as he raised them. He, who had performed anti-labor labor, was an exception even if he did not play a role
The remaining three also played a role, but Jang Man-dok became gloomier, Do Pyeong-su became more severe, and Seo Seok-san had to put a big dot on his cheek in return for abundant hair.
“Now let’s go.”
The three of them were stopped by the alchemist. “Where are you going together?”
“Why? Did you even overdo it?”
“If you go to Zhuge Sega, you will meet Namgung Se people, how are you going to explain it?”
“It’s okay to just look around.”
“What are you looking around for? Does that even make sense?”
“What’re all these restrictions?!”
“Don’t say nonsense, don’t create problems for nothing, and let’s just walk away!”
Do Pyeong-su looked dissatisfied. “You’re the only one who accompanies the death penalty.”
“If you feel sad, you too will be half-labored.”
“Anti-labour-hwandong is a faux.” The grumbling Do Pyeong-su tilted his head.
“By the way, that Zhuge sovereignty is paying taxes. There must not be many entangled silver circles. Isn’t it pretty complicated just what we know?”
“Isn’t it because I have a lot of silver won, so I just brush it off and leave?”
“You may think so at first glance, but it is Moorim that it becomes more difficult to leave when Eun Won overlaps. What will happen if our blood-breeding lion declares to Murim that he will do a golden tax collection?”
As Geom Woo-bin, I couldn’t imagine it, but Seo Seok-san gave the answer. “It will be a sea of blood. That’s because we won’t just wait for those who have suffered from us to retire gracefully. They’re probably going to try to avenge their grudges somehow before they do the money-spinning.”
Geom Woo-bin asked, “What happens if you take revenge on the person who collected the money?”
“No matter what happens, it is a public service. It is an unwritten rule of Moorim that has been passed down for a long time. So, a Moorim who wants to do a gold tax must declare at least a year in advance that he is a gold tax collector. He’ll have to give him time to settle the silver won before he does the gold tax. It is also the unwritten rule of Moorim.”
“There are surprisingly many rules to follow in Moorim.”
“You don’t have to worry about the death penalty. It’s just a rule made up for self-defense by stupid bastards. Hopefully we can see something interesting.”
With that, Jeon Yeong-hong hit Mt. Seo Seok. “You have the death penalty and you want something dangerous to happen?”
“It’s the death penalty, we can protect it.”
He was about to leave Seo Seok-san’s room, but Geom Woo-bin said, “Man-dok. If you want spout nonsense, then don’t be ashamed of it.” Jang Man-dok, who received everyone’s attention, made a surprised expression.
“Do you even show those emotions on your face?”
“It’s not something the Priest can do at will.” Nguyen Hong said as he left the room. “It’s just that Man-dok is pitiful. I have to live with the death penalty for the rest of my life. Death penalty, we go first. You guys come pooping with Man-dok.”
After leaving a message saying, ‘don’t get into an accident.’
Although he returned a lot, he worked hard when he was bored, so the time to arrive at Zhuge Sega was similar to that of a runaway. Geom Woo-bin asked where Pyo-heng had arrived and went to the backyard full of wagons.
The Zhuge Sega was similar in size to the Namgung Sega but was decorated in a more antique style. In the backyard where dozens of people were gathered, there were not only Western flags but also flags of as many flags as there were wagons fluttering.
Geom Woo-bin and Yeon Ji-hong were looking around in search of the Western Flag when they heard a call from one side.
“Scammers of Hangzhou! The person who brought Hangzhou scammers!”
With that, the two walked through the crowd and went to a man in his mid-30s with a mustache.
The man looked at the top and bottom of Yeon Ji-hong and then asked Geom Woo-bin, “You say you are supplying scammers?”
If Geom Woo-bin hadn’t hastily grabbed her arm, Pension Hong would have grabbed her man by the collar and threw him out of her fence.
“Yes.”
“We decided to deliver two hundred bottles, but why is the quantity three hundred bottles? Are you trying to push out the inventory left in our Zhuge family?”
“No. The other hundred bottles will be sold elsewhere.”
“Why are you bringing it all the way here? It’s quite confusing.”
“I ask you to keep the other hundred bottles until you leave…”
“Is this your warehouse? How dare you treat Zhuge Sega as a warehouse like a brewery!”
Nguyen Hong couldn’t stand it as he spits out his words. “You are simply digging a grave.”
“What does this woman say?”
Geom Woo-bin blew out a sound, but the anger did not subside. The mere warehouse keeper ignored Woo-bin, but he wasn’t the kind of person who would tolerate this.
However, then, someone called Geom Woo-bin.
“Woo-bin-ah!” It was Namgung Hyeyeon who ran towards him with a smile on her friendly face.
“You arrived sooner than expected! Aunt! Hello!”
When she saw the abrupt greeting, the warehouse keeper scoffed at her. “To come to Zhuge with two girls to deliver. The buds are yellow. The old girl and the young girl, evenly matched.”
Namgoong Hye-yeon’s expression hardened, as well as that of Yeon Ji-hong’s. “What did you say now?”
“You? Do you dare to know who I am and make fun of you?”
Even though he guarded the warehouse, Zhuge was but a human being. Warehouse Keeper Deungseodae was not only proud of it, but also held a sense of privilege. In the eyes of Deungseodae, Geom Woo-bin was nothing more than a trader at the foundry.
In short, he seemed insignificant.
