NOVEL NEXT chapter 52
52- Watch Over
1.
“You only went in for three weeks. What happened?”
“I just intensified my training.”
“What?”
“I took Sahoan.”
“What..?! This crazy girl..! She took Sahoan and went in? She was trying to kill herself!”
“Dear, what’s Sahoan?”
“It’s used to temporarily compress and harden Qi … Tsk.. It’s crazy to use it for training.”
At first glance, it seemed similar to the compressed Qi of a dragon but it was completely different.
Unlike the compressed Qi of a dragon, Sahoan was a type of medicine that temporarily stopped the circulation of Qi.
Although it stopped the flow of Qi through pressure and arrest, it could not be taken for long and had to be released with the help of others.
“…..If you train while taking Sahoan, you can have five times the effect.”
Thanks to that, I became a 5-star middle manager like Nam Gung-Yeon-Ha. It was easy to gain enlightenment. I had already seen the power of transcendental beings like Ryu Chun-Hee and Han A-Rin several times. “….I wanted to add more but my dream wasn’t good enough.” “It’s painful. Yeah. I just got a call from the Murim-Mang. The Celestial Horse attack on Jungwon starts in a week.” “….Of course.” “Only this Peng Oryong can go to Jungwon. You stay home quietly.” “….Don’t be ridiculous. I’m stronger than my mom right now. Of course, I’m going.” “I don’t want to admit it, but I feel like you’ve gotten stronger than me.” Peng Oryong is in the early 5-star level, so he could feel something since Peng Yaa-Hwa was in the middle 5-star level. Depending on the condition of the day, there may be a win or lose, but it felt like his basic ability had improved. However. “Still, I’ll go to Jungwon.” “….Why?” “You have to continue Pengga now, Yaa-Hwa. If you’ve gotten stronger than me, it’s my job to protect Jungwon. It’s up to you to protect Pengga.” “….That’s ridiculous.” “It’s Jugurye’s command.” “…If I refuse. Can you stop me now?” Peng O Ryong’s eyes turned tight. It wasn’t because he couldn’t stop her. It was something more fundamental… It was the eyes of a mother who worries about her child. Peng Yaa-Hwa, who spoke arrogantly, also knew her mother’s heart. But… “….There’s a boy I like in Jungwon.” “Are you talking about the grandson of Yoo-a-Dock-Jon..? It’s only been a few days since you met him..!” “….Mom dated Dad after 3 days.” “…Where did you hear that from?” “….I just like him. What’s wrong with just liking him? Whether it’s a delusion or not. But there’s something else.” Peng Yaa-Hwa put her hand on her chest and said. “I might be delusional. It’s the first time I haven’t thought that. I just like Eun-Ho, the man. There’s no other reason.”
“That’s not a reason to send your daughter to the battlefield.”
“Eunho is being targeted by the demon. Do you think Mom will fight against the Heavenly Horse? Or can she entrust it to someone else?”
Upon hearing those words, Paeng Oryong fell silent.
A brief silence ensued. Paeng Oryong nodded heavily.
It seemed like he didn’t want to send her but still gave his permission.
If you can’t protect the person you love from others, there is nothing more unfair than that.
…
…
…
“M-m-m-monster.”
“Why so scared?”
“W-what is this energy… It’s terrifying to approach.”
“…Tsk. What the hell are you doing, Halmeom?”
Ryu Cheon-hee thought. Jang Myeong-soon, who beat up numerous ruffians during the Wulin Sacred Site Gathering a few months ago. The lone wolf.
Wasn’t that energy from back then everything?
There was no one near the mansion where the heavy oppressive energy could be felt.
It seemed as if they deliberately rented out the entire place and drove everyone away.
“Here we are.”
“Gran-d-mother.”
The tremendous pressure that weighed down on them suddenly disappeared at those words.
Dododo. The one who appeared was none other than Nam Gung-yeon.
“Eunho!!”
“This voice… Yeonha?”
Pwokeuk. A hugging embrace. The faint fruity scent tickled Eunho’s nose.
“Phew… Damn… Why does the maidservant wag her tail like an idiot.”
Smoking a cigarette from behind was none other than Nam Gung-sa.
At the sound of Nam Gung-sa’s voice, Eunho trembled and shook.
Witnessing that sight, Nam Gung-sa couldn’t help but quiver with a sense of satisfaction.
“Kuk kuk kuk… It’s been a while, blind fool.”
However, seeing Ryu Cheon-hee and the deaf-mute warrior blocking Eunho’s path, Nam Gung-sa closed his mouth.
Ryu Chun-hee was openly irritated.
“Don’t look at Eun-ho with dirty eyes.”
“My daughter will even hug her. Isn’t there anything to say to that woman?”
With the meanness of staking even his own daughter, Ryu Chun-hee’s eyes coldly cooled.
“What about Namgoongsega’s house …”
“Surprising. I thought he would just be a bastard. He was in rehab at Jungwon because he was following his daughter. I mean, I’m a Makyoz hater myself.”
He looks like a Makyoz no matter who looks at him. Yeon-ha swallowed her words.
“You also stay away from that girl.”
Although Ryu Chun-hee tried to separate Namgoong Yeon-ha, Eun-ho stuck closely and did not let go.
“This is the first time we’re meeting after a long time …”
“Hmm … Eun-ho, do you have a lot of relationships with women?”
In response to the original question, Ryu Chun-hee laughed bitterly.
“He is nobler than the men in the slums but … I cannot deny that he has many women.”
Yeon-ha was giggling and showing off her childishness to Eun-ho.
Just like protecting himself in his father’s arms when he wants to be scolded by his mother.
Of course, Namgoong Saya, who was Yeon-ha’s mother, was watching with her tongue-tied beside her.
“Where’s grandma?”
“Oh. Yuadokjon is inside, but … she doesn’t show herself.”
“Why not? Has she been hurt?”
“It’s not that. It’s to block the light for concentration.”
Eun-ho was worried about grandmother. Isn’t that almost living in an enclosed space?
Whether he saw such concern or not, Yeon-ha reassured Eun-ho.
“It’s only covered with heaven.”
“But if the light doesn’t come in, it will be depressed …”
“Yuadok Jon.. If you make a sound, your mother-in-law will be happy. Come on.”
Shaking his head, Eun-ho went into the mansion.
….
….
….
Jang Myung-soon felt the sign from afar and greeted Eun-ho with a smile.
“Eunho, you rascal. Do you have to worry Grandma like this?”
Although her words were quite harsh, she spoke.
“Grandma!”
“I’m sorry. I can’t show myself right now.”
“Why…? Ah, I see..”
“I need to draw. To concentrate. The energy of the old woman from the Heavenly River can be felt even here. How can I not practice? If Grandma sees our grandson’s face, she won’t be able to train seriously. Please bear with it for a little longer.”
Jang Myeong-soon couldn’t see, but she wanted to see if those women who wanted to fold Eunho’s face in half had done anything to him.
Finally, the face-to-face meeting between the two began.
“Ah… Hello. You’re the Original Medium.”
“The Original Medium. The introduction was short.”
“Be quiet!”
“He isn’t a celestial being. Why is he here?”
“You know how to distinguish people from the heavenly realm… Your expectations have far surpassed mine.”
The Original Medium briefly told his own story.
Then Jang Myeong-soon’s voice became quieter.
“So, you’re a traitor. Trying to tempt Prince Okhwang and getting shot. Did that audacious woman mess around with our Eunho?”
“Oh… it’s a misunderstanding!”
When Eunho stepped forward to explain in detail on behalf of him, Jang Myeong-soon didn’t like it, but she understood to some extent.
And…
“Is he Ryu Chun-hee?”
“…Well, yes.”
Namgung Yeon-ha and Namgungsa widened their eyes.
It seemed as if their curiosity was overflowing. But Ryu Chun-hee never backed down in front of anyone.
“They took Eunho away. Did you gain anything?”
“……..”
However, Ryu Chun-hee, who knew the mistake, honestly spoke.
“I met Eunho before you did.”
“And at the crossroads, I left him.”
“Did you know all of that?”
“Eunho didn’t tell me, but I knew from the start because Heaven told me. I roughly know what you did. I can’t just see it in a completely positive light.”
“I won’t deny it.”
“Tsk. Bland, isn’t it? But his talent is truly remarkable. With a body like Yakcha’s, he could live for almost an eternity, almost approaching divinity.”
Come to think of it, Cheonma had said something similar. He said that if he dedicated himself to further training for another ten years, he could reach the realm of divinity.
However…
“I always live in the present. I don’t care about what I will become in the future. I just want to be with Eunho right now. And I will protect Eunho from Cheonma.”
Instead of apologizing, she decided to show her determination.
An unwavering determination. Unbreakable beliefs.
“Hmm…”
Jang Myeong-soon moved beyond the tent. It felt as if a massive 3-meter giant was moving behind the canvas.
“Everyone here, please take good care of Eunho.”
“!!”
It was an unexpected remark. Even Eunho was surprised and widened his eyes.
“What does that mean?”
“Just speaking my mind. I heard it’s not easy to face Cheonma. So, regardless of what happens, you should prevent anyone from approaching Eunho.”
Jang Myeong-soon started calling each name one by one.
“Namgoong Yeon-ha.”
“Yes.”
“Han Arin.”
“Here.”
“Won Eodaecheong.”
“Understood.”
“Ryoocheon Hee.”
“Yes.”
“Even Paeng Yahwa, who is not present.”
Without any awareness, Namgoongsa tried to interrupt.
“Hey, me…”
“You better back off. You rapist.”
Jang Myeong-soon intensified the pressure and cut off Namgoongsa’s words.
The command of the upcoming battle would be executed by Jegalsega and Maengju.
There was no doubt that they possessed the utmost strength.
“Protect Eun-ho. Even if you have to run away with him.”
They said together.
“Yes!”
