Episode 165. What kind of ears do you like?
I followed behind Eunwol, who was in love with me.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought of being in a solitary cell, away from Gucheonnodo Simtong and Cheongungeom Namgungcheon.
‘I won’t have to listen to Mr. Shim’s snoring today.’
If I had to pick one thing that was difficult during my trip, it would definitely be Simtong’s snoring.
The old man’s snoring was so loud that he woke up several times during his sleep.
You can’t know what thunder sounds like until you experience it.
Eunwol, who had been walking diligently, stopped in front of a fairly large door.
Not only the size, but also the decoration of the door was clearly different from other rooms.
Anyone who saw it felt like it was a special room.
Eunwol carefully opened the door and went in first.
‘What a kind lady.’
Usually they only guide you to the front door, but you even went inside the room?
Yeonjeok followed her in and took a deep breath.
Unlike the other rooms which were somewhat stuffy, this one had a faint scent.
“Wow. It smells really good.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I only used it for a short while, so I guess the smell of powder lingers.”
Eunwol blushed.
I just came out here to decorate and leave, is that still a smell from back then?
They say that the masters of martial arts have keen senses, and it seems that it is indeed true.
“Oh, really? You don’t have to be sorry. It’s much better than the stench.”
“If that’s the case, then that’s good.”
Eunwol, who had been laughing bashfully, returned to the entrance and closed the door.
Until then, I didn’t know why the girl I was in love with had stayed in the room.
After looking around the room, he went to the window and looked out at the night street.
It has become a habit to look around the area once I get a place to stay.
Of course, this is also one of the safety rules for unfamiliar places that I learned from Simtong and Namgungcheon.
Meanwhile, Eunwol pressed her pounding heart with her hand.
The sound of my heart pounding is so loud that it’s mind-boggling.
At that moment, Yeonjeokha turned around and asked with a puzzled face.
“Do you still have work to do?”
Eunwol quickly bowed down to hide her reddened face.
“… … I’m planning to invite Eun-gong tonight.”
“… … .”
He is dull but not stupid.
When he found out why Eunwol had brought him aside, he spoke with a puzzled face.
“You don’t have to do that if it’s to repay the favor. I didn’t fight specifically to save you.”
Eunwol raised her head at the unexpected words.
The Infinite Men are making a fuss trying to get their hands on me, but I don’t know what they’re talking about.
“Your Majesty, I don’t know if you did it without meaning to, but I have received a great favor from you. Although I am a courtesan, I have yet to meet a man. I will not cling to you and ask you to look only at me. I will cherish the memories of that one night in my heart for the rest of my life… … .”
“for a moment.”
Yeonjeokha cut off Eunwol’s words.
“yes?”
“You said I saved you, didn’t you, Miss?”
Yeonjeokha’s previously polite tone of speech became slightly rough.
He made no effort to hide his discomfort.
“yes.”
“The young lady said she didn’t like it, but Oh Chae-ju keeps clinging to her, so she must have said that because she was in pain.”
“Yes, and not only that, he tried to take me by force. If it weren’t for Eun-gong, I would have been in a terrible… … .”
“Oh, it was terrible that Chae-ju did that?”
“yes.”
“Then you shouldn’t just start talking to me. You should ask me what I think first.”
“yes?”
Eunwol opened her eyes wide and looked at Yeonjeokha.
Ask me what I think?
It was a very unfamiliar story to her, who had only ever been courted by men until then.
“Don’t say you’ll take care of it alone, and ask for my opinion as well. Miss, you don’t like Oh Chae-ju either, but it was horrible when you tried to force her to take it, right? Isn’t that right?”
Only then did Eunwol understand what Yeonjeokha was saying.
“Does Your Majesty dislike me?”
“uh.”
‘why not?’
Eunwol looked at Yeonjeokha with eyes of distrust.
The endless wanderers called themselves ‘Wuhan Ilwol (武漢一月)’.
A moon in infinity.
It is a nickname given to him because his looks are as good as his gold-digging skills.
But I don’t want that ‘one and only infinite moon’ to give itself to me.
A man can’t do that.
Even if it were a high-ranking official, it wouldn’t be like that.
“That, that’s a lie… … .”
Then Yeonjeokha’s eyes became cold and sank.
“Look, miss. I hate liars. Why would I lie to you?”
“Well, then, tell me why you don’t like girls.”
“I’m sorry, but you’re not my type. So don’t force yourself on me. You’re not trying to do the same thing as Oh Chae-ju, are you?”
‘Huh!’
Eunwol was amazed.
I wondered why the disgusting name Oh Chae-ju kept coming out of his mouth.
‘I’m like that old man?’
How dare you compare yourself, as beautiful as a flower, to that old pervert!
At first I thought it was a terrible joke, but when I saw his stern expression, I lost all hope.
He looked like he really hated it.
No, he even looked like he was going to throw a punch if they kept clinging to him.
“You don’t like the girl that much?”
“There must be a man out there who likes you. Go find that person.”
At that moment, a sigh escaped Eunwol’s mouth.
I think it’s somewhere?
No way! There is no man in infinity who would reject you.
‘No, there’s just one person.’
What a fate, the first man she ever fell in love with ended up pushing her away.
I was shocked, but I had no choice but to back out because I didn’t want to do it.
“If that is what your Majesty wants, then I will take my leave for today.”
“Let’s not see anything like this again.”
‘Ugh!’
He is a man like a knife.
Eunwol felt something welling up inside her, but she suppressed it.
Are you stupid?
Even though I, who am called the Infinite Sun and Moon, want to spend one night with you, you keep saying such things.
She looked at Yeonjeokha with eyes full of resentment and quietly left.
As Eunwol left the room, Yeonjeok sat down on the bed.
I felt uncomfortable thinking that the scent wafting through the room was her perfume.
What I don’t like is what I don’t like.
He clicked his tongue and opened the window wide and went outside.
I plan to drink some cold water at the restaurant until the smell goes away.
The restaurant was plunged into darkness.
The light on the wall by the window where I had been sitting earlier was turned on.
There was nothing edible left on the neatly cleaned table.
I rummaged through the kitchen and found a bottle of alcohol.
He spent his time alone, writing to himself, doing nothing.
As I slowly drank my second glass, I heard a welcoming voice from behind me.
“Huh? Are you asleep? What are you doing instead of sleeping?”
It was Hwayongdoksim Namgungyeon.
“Sister, why are you out at this hour?”
“Because I can’t sleep. Why are you like that?”
“There was a smell in the room. I opened the window and came out to get rid of the smell.”
“It seemed like Lady Eun had specially prepared a room, but you said it smelled?”
“Yes, it got a little better.”
“I see…….”
Namgung Yeon, whose words had been trailing off, asked in passing.
“What about Lady Eun?”
“I don’t know. Why are you asking me about that girl?”
Yeonjeokha looked at Namgungyeon with a sullen face.
He hated the fact that Namgung Yeon thought of him and Eunwol as a group.
“Weren’t you two together?”
There was a moment of silence in response to her direct question.
Other people seem to know why Eunwol acted like that.
He stupidly followed that woman around without thinking about anything.
“… … I refused.”
In an instant, a bright color appeared on Namgung Yeon’s face.
I came to the restaurant feeling frustrated and never thought I would hear such a surprising thing!
Namgung Yeon sat across from Yeonjeokha.
And then he asked with a pretended indifferent face.
“Why did you do that?”
“Because it’s not my taste.”
“You say that such a beautiful young lady is not your style?”
Namgung Yeon was shocked.
Even from a woman’s perspective, Eunwol was a beauty.
I couldn’t believe that he would reject me because he didn’t like it, unless there was another reason.
“Really? What’s wrong with that girl?”
Yeonjeokha, who had been hesitating, looked around and spoke cautiously.
“Your ears look a little weird.”
“homecoming?”
Namgung Yeon thought of Eunwol’s ears.
The tips of the ears were a bit pointy, but not so much that it was an eyesore.
“yes.”
Namgung Yeon absentmindedly touched his ear at his serious face.
“What kind of ears do you like?”
Namgung Yeon blurted out the words and exclaimed, ‘Oops.’
It was out of character for me to say something like that in a place like this.
“Sister, you’re cute.”
“Foot!”
Namgung Yeon, who had been listening anxiously, ended up bursting into laughter.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Just for fun. How are Lady Jin’s ears?”
“It’s ordinary.”
Namgung Yeon couldn’t stop laughing.
As I was thinking about it, the conversation has been going on about ears for a while now.
It wasn’t anything special, but I enjoyed the way my heart fluttered for no reason.
I think this is the first time I’ve been this happy since the Namgung family was destroyed.
The two chatted away without realizing how much time had passed.
***
Hanamseong.
Yeoju.
Milky Way.
General Chiljeolma Do Shin Yang went to find Honsegeomma Cheok Jin-gyeong in a hurry, holding something.
“Your Majesty.”
“What’s going on?”
“A heron has flown in from the anaerobic zone.”
With those words, he politely handed the object he was holding in his hand to Cheok Jin-gyeong.
It is a piece of paper with the secret inscription of a famous religion written on it.
A slurred voice came out of Cheok Jin-gyeong’s mouth as he read the inscription.
“Hmm! Yeonjeokha is going to Daebyeolsanchae?”
“I think so.”
“Is that guy organizing the ten horse soldiers in the green forest by order of the Pacheonma Army? Oh, really? I couldn’t find him when I looked for him like that. Is he coming to find a place to die on his own two feet?”
I have been searching all over the place to seek revenge on the great demon, Daeryukgui, the great general of the Four Great Guardians. However, he disappeared like a ghost and is said to have gone to Daebyeolsanchae.
“We are requesting your cooperation in the anaerobic digestion. What are you planning to do?”
“What can I say? Isn’t that the guy we were looking for anyway? The remaining three kidneys are also determined to get revenge. We can’t miss this opportunity.”
“Will the Pacheonma Army just sit still?”
“The problem with the Green Forest is something we can think about later. The Pacheon Demon Army would have expected that much anyway. Did you really think he could take care of the Ten Horsemen on his own? It’s definitely a throwaway plan.”
“So, are you willing to send all three of your kidneys?”
“That’s right.”
“Isn’t it excessive to send three even in an anaerobic state?”
Shin Yang tilted his head.
Six of the twelve horsemen are powerful enough to wipe out even one Chilpai Gate.
Are you really going to put that much effort into catching just one enemy?
If the people of the martial arts world were to find out about that fact, it would be a great loss of face.
Chuck Jin-kyung shook his head.
“You’re saying this because you don’t know the leader of the Musanso-chuk clan yet. Musan Nangnang is a meticulous woman. It’s right to think that she’s an outstanding person who even sends three people to ask for cooperation.”
“My thoughts were short-sighted.”
“Tell Eumsangui, Musanggui, and Muyeonggui to go to Daebyeolsanchae immediately. They must kill Yeonjeokha and save Eunhajang’s face.”
“Jeonmyeong!”
Shin Yang hit his head on the floor.
As the lord had said, he had to kill him to save face in Hanamseong. He had to do that to put an end to the rumor that ‘Daeryukgui was murdered by him.’
Wuxia,
