39 – Training in Seclusion

1.

“Do… you want it?”

“Yeah.”

Eun-ho hesitated and looked away while speaking.

“I didn’t expect Cheon-hee to have such a childish side.”

*Flinch.* The trembling of Ryu Cheon-hee’s shoulders could be felt.

“Are you… disappointed?”

“Don’t twist my words. Stop it.”

Eun-ho, who was pinching his cheek, said. When did he become such a fox? He had the charm to make Gumihos disappear from being his only friend in no time. With a voice that is not as high as a woman’s but still low, and with a cute gesture, it was hard to believe that this was his true appearance.

When Eun-ho was young, there was a human girl who treated him like she had crushed and defeated monsters. There was a time when she vowed to kill him. Even if the child had died from unbearable pain caused by the sky demon already.

If Eun-ho died now while he was holding her, she would have continued to train until she took revenge on the sky demon. And it would have been in vain. That’s why she hugged Eun-ho a little more tightly, and he misunderstood her intentions.

“What? Do you want that gift so badly?”

He was slightly surprised by the misunderstanding, and before he could explain, he said.

“Then… What should I do?”

Looking at Eun-ho, who was thinking hard, she didn’t want to refuse again.

“A massage? I’ll be tired because of you…”

She momentarily became Ryu Cheon-hee, but soon thought again.

According to what Namgoong Se-ga heard from a conversation with a prostitute, this gift seemed to be more than an opportunity that comes once or twice. It was uncertain whether Eun-ho would agree, but it seemed appropriate to demand something that even Eun-ho wouldn’t do.

Namgoong Yeon-ha might even go to bed with Eun-ho when he returns. Well, she didn’t try to stop Eun-ho from leaving, but anyway, it was worth choosing carefully.

Ryu Cheon-hee’s brain started running at full speed.

“Oh, by the way, I heard that you had s*x.”

“Huh? Ah.. yes. I was wearing pants.”

Ryu Cheon-hee doubted her ears at those words.

“Pants? What about the top?”

“I wasn’t wearing it?”

“You’re out.”

Ryu Cheon-hee stopped and hung in the air.

“Why… why?”

“I want to have s*x too.”

“Is that… okay? Is that the gift you want?”

“Take off all your clothes instead.”

Even Eunho couldn’t help but look at Cheon-hee with cold, chilly eyes at that remark.

“Chosen ‐… Was she that kind of person?”

But Cheon-hee seemed to think differently.

“Then why not take the top off? If you keep doing that, you’ll attract perverts like Houn.”

“……..”

Had Eunho forgotten about the crazy pedophile woman?

Eunho’s expression was not great. Thinking that she had touched a sore spot for no reason, Cheon-hee, finally a little cautiously, said what she had to say.

“There’s not much of a difference between taking off the top and taking off everything.”

With that, Eunho applied a reverse filter and tried to adapt it to the modern world.

A woman walking into a mixed bathhouse with only her genitals covered and not her breasts…? Bit strange.

So that’s why. Still…

“No preaching. No top.”

“You’re going too far… Even though I was just worried about you.”

Looking at Eunho, who seemed upset, Cheon-hee resolved in her mind.

I must make sure that I don’t show my body to anyone other than myself.

“….”

“….Ugh…”

“Are you up? Look over there.”

Rubbing his eyes, Eunho, who had gotten up, felt the warm body temperature of Cheon-hee instead of the cold dawn air.

The tent was still wrapped around them, providing a perfect insulation effect.

“What do you see? Tell me.”

“I can see the rising sun.”

“Wow…”

“heheheh. You can’t even see it.”

“You’re trying to kill the mood.”

Even so, because she could still feel the warm sunshine, Eunho waited for Cheon-hee to land while looking at the sun.

2.

After Eunho left. The three remained mostly silent.

They quietly packed their belongings and prepared to leave.

“…….Do you have to talk to the Supreme separately?” asked Peng Yahua.

Han Arin replied, “Since reaching transcendence, the master seems to have reduced his training sessions. And he may also be busy with the affairs of the Wulin Sacred Land.”

“…I see,” Peng Yahua responded.

After finishing the preparations, Yeonha stepped forward and greeted them first.

“Well then, see you later.”

“Are both of you heading to Zhongyuan together?”

“We’ll be on the same path until halfway.”

“…I don’t want to die by your hand, Han Arin.”

Yeonha stared at Peng Yahua coldly.

Am I telling you to die?

However, given the position that had received a special request, there was nothing Han Arin could say.

“Haah..”

“Stay safe until we meet again. Both of you.”

“……..Yeah.”

“You too.”

.

.

.

Four days later, without resting, the two arrived at Zhongyuan.

It was truly an awkward four days. Without speaking a word while bathing or sleeping, they realized how important Eunho was to the flow of conversation.

If Eunho’s silence was a subtly pleasant one, the silence between Peng Yahua and Yeonha was awkward, like sliding along a rough and uneven path.

“…Well then, I’m off.”

“Are you going from here?”

Peng Yahua looked at Yeonha reproachfully as she tried to escape noticing her gaze.

Even though this conversation had been minimal, so much so that it could be counted on one hand during the four days, they were not pleased to learn about their relationship.

“…I would love it if you died by my hand.”

“I’ll make sure to survive,” he heard the exclamation.

The two parted ways in opposite directions.

They walked into the city, feeling the bustling atmosphere of Jungwon.

A tailor shop that had “temporarily closed” written on the door reminded him of the time he had worked there.

Going to see his mother-in-law felt like jumping into a fire like a moth.

Yeonha walked up to the second floor of the tailor shop.

As soon as she entered, she felt a suffocating vigor.

“Jangmonim.”

“Why did you come alone?” said the three-meter giant woman as she opened the door.

“Um…please read this letter first. It’s from Eunho.”

Jang Myung-soon read Eunho’s letter, and then clenched her left hand as if to tear it up.

“I trusted you to handle this. This is not how you repay me.”

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”

However, Jang Myung-soon did not get as angry as he thought she would.

“Well….” She rubbed her head, considering the situation. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have trusted a novice student like Cho-wol. I should’ve gone myself.”

“And there’s one more thing,” Yeonha said, relaying information she had heard from Cho-wol.

Jang Myung-soon slapped her head. “This is a mess. Black Dragon’s body….” She pointed to Namgoong Yeon-ha. “You should go tell the prince about this. Haah…if things had gone differently, it wouldn’t have been a bad idea to just leave Eunho with Cho-wol…but…”

The most important thing was…

“Will that woman leave Eunho alone?” Jang Myung-soon was worried about Eunho’s safety. Maybe the situation wasn’t so bad after all. As Cheonhee said, he was secretly hidden somewhere in Jungwon. But…

What woman in the world wouldn’t go into heat upon seeing Eunho? In fact, it was practically a kidnapping.

Jang Myeongsun glanced at Eunha, who was quietly observing.

“Hey! Don’t just stand there like that!!”

“Y-Yes!!!”

.

.

.

“This is our home where we’ll live.”

Unable to see, Eunho slowly felt the house with his hands.

A house made of wood and earth.

“Who would’ve thought there’d be a house deep in these mountains.”

“There’s a village down there too. Of course, you’ll have to ask my permission before going down. Got it?”

“Ye-yes…”

As Eunho touched the house with his hands, he realized that it was much larger than he had thought.

“It’s… It’s spacious for the two of us to live in, isn’t it? It feels bigger than Arin’s house…”

“Well… More people will gradually come…♡”

Eunho smiled shyly as he looked at Cheonhui, feeling elated.

Perhaps he couldn’t go back anymore…?

His heart was filled with the desire to live together forever.

“You’ve done well building this.”

“hehehe. You think so?”

Upon seeing her confident response, Eunho couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

“Did you build it yourself?”

“Hm? Yes.”

“hehehe…”

Then, the house felt a little different.

Imagining Cheonhui, who had only wanted to become stronger and wandered around battlefields, occasionally coming here to build the house, it felt somewhat bittersweet and cute.

“It’s a nice house.”

Eunho gently touched Cheonhui’s head, stroking it, and she giggled.

“Let’s eat first. Want to go fishing together?”

“Fishing?”

Eunho’s eyes lit up at the thought of fishing, both in his previous life and in his current one.

“It will definitely be fun.”

“Oh… “

3.

“Yeah. Did you enjoy the trip?”

“…….Yes, Mother.”

“Your way of speaking hasn’t changed. It has improved a bit from the annoying tone, though.”

The martial arts competition was bustling with noise. It was filled with people who were trying to protect their central region and respective areas.

“Let’s go back to Pungga.”

“…….Yes.”

.

.

.

Pung Yahwa, who returned to Pungga, saw the welcoming bell and his youngest brother.

“Nuniim~!!”

Pung Yahwa’s face almost frowned at the man’s distinctive nasal voice.

Had he only adapted to Eunho’s way of speaking without realizing it?

After exchanging appropriate greetings and trying to leave, his younger brother threw a tantrum.

“I heard that you went on a trip with Nam Gung-yeonha. You must have taken your revenge, right?”

Revenge… Come to think of it, they were engaged but broke up, and she ran away. They coincidentally met in that state.

Pung Yahwa asks him, lost in thought for a moment.

“Nunim?”

“I was going to do it anyway.”

Nam Gung-yeonha had become a 5-star mid-level warrior.

If they continued like this, he would lose to her through sheer force.

A little more. He needed to become stronger.

“I’ll go practice.”

It seemed like the perfect time to undergo intensive training.
