Chapter 117

Episode 117: My eyes are swollen, don’t cry.

Ian was surprised.

She was surprised to see me many times, but this was the first time she was this surprised.

Her eyes, which were covered by flesh, began to tremble.

“Ian, the day is finally here.”

She couldn’t say anything. Although he didn’t show it on the outside, I could tell without asking how long he had been waiting for this moment.

“When will the procedure be done?”

“now.”

“Really now? “The moment I’ve been waiting for so suddenly comes like this?”

“Something that will change your destiny usually comes suddenly. So when I look back, it all seems like luck and coincidence.”

“I’m nervous.”

“Okay. You can drop it. “I just have to stop shaking.”

I dropped my hand and pretended to misplace the needle. I was just joking to make her relax, but Ian was so nervous and excited that he seemed at a loss as to whether I was joking or not.

In my mind, it would be nice to open a wonderful space using space-time transformation techniques and do it there, but I couldn’t do that because of the effort required to maintain the space.

“Lie down on the bed over there.”

Ian did as he was told and lay down on the bed. She took several deep breaths. Until I woke up in the morning, I would have never dreamed that I would be lying down for a kidney purification treatment like this today.

I started putting acupuncture needles on the designated points. I used my best effort to touch the needle, one needle at a time. If you look at it from the side, it looks like even a local doctor could do it, but unlike what you see, it was done with the highest level of technology.

A certain amount of force had to be injected into the acupuncture needles, and sometimes the acupuncture needles had to be released while reciting the phrases. If there is even one mistake, the procedure will be a failure and she will suffer serious internal injuries.

While I was giving her acupuncture, I injected internal energy into her body to control her running energy and blood.

Heat surged from her body and sweat poured down like rain. I groaned and groaned from the surging pain.

“It hurts a lot, right? “It’s normal to feel pain.”

She said something. I was saying I could tolerate it, but it didn’t sound right. It was such a difficult and painful procedure.

I performed the procedure carefully until the last moment.

After finishing the prescribed acupuncture session, I went outside for a while.

I quietly closed my eyes and sat cross-legged, controlling my inner energy. It was truly a huge drain on mental strength.

Acupuncture was not a one-time thing.

After all the needles were retrieved, the needles were placed again in a different order from the beginning. As the procedure progressed, the drain on her mental strength increased and the pain she experienced also increased.

“Uuuuugh!”

A scream came from her mouth.

Although she was quite patient and tolerant, it seems that this pain is difficult to bear.

‘Cheer up, Ian.’

It was unfortunate, but I had no choice but to overcome it.

After the second acupuncture session, I filled the container I had purchased with water, pounded the herbs, and mixed them with the water. The amount control and mixing of herbs must be precise.

Then I basted again.

It was the final hurdle for her too. I don’t know if he could hear it, but I spoke softly to Ian.

“This is the last time. “Be patient.”

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain. In the meantime, I injected internal energy and caressed her energy and blood, trying to somehow relieve the pain.

‘Hang in there, Ian.’

After three difficult needles, they put her in medication. A long tube was attached to the throat and fixed so that the person could breathe.

All I can do is done. I just hope that the procedure ends successfully.

Ian had a dream.

It was a very childhood dream.

“Can you learn full body petrification for Confucius?”

What is Full Body Petrochemical Engineering? I wanted to ask, but I wasn’t in the mood to ask. Because he was always a scary master.

“yes.”

“There are side effects if you learn full body petrification. “Your body will swell.”

She didn’t know exactly what swelling meant.

“The swelling won’t go away. forever.”

At the time, I didn’t know what it meant that the swelling wouldn’t go down. She had no idea how difficult the heavy meaning of that word, forever, would make her life. Because I was only eight years old at the time.

“Are you still going to do it?”

“yes.”

There was an atmosphere where it felt like it would be okay to say not to do it.

But the decision wasn’t just because of the scary atmosphere.

I wanted to be around the sword dance. I liked the sword dance performance from the first time I saw it.

Did you really regret it?

Time passed in my dream.

She was standing in front of the broken dream. In his broken dream, an unfamiliar girl was glaring at him. A girl who had become so fat that I didn’t even know if it was me or you was getting angry.

‘Why are you angry? I’m so sad because of you.’

She walked out slowly.

The person I wanted to see so much was standing in the yard with his back turned.

Ian called to him slowly.

“young master.”

Then Geommugeuk slowly turned towards her.

Geommugeuk saw her wearing a palace uniform. For a moment, Geomgeuk’s eyes widened.

When I finished the sin-poison purification procedure and laid her on the bed, I already saw a beautiful change in her. But when she opened her eyes and stood in front of her, she was different from then. It was so beautiful that I was speechless.

“The poison purification technique was successful. Congratulations Ian.”

Tears finally flowed from her eyes.

“Your eyes are swollen. Don’t cry on days like today.”

“You can pour it. “I’ve lived with swelling all my life.”

“Now I have to live differently.”

“No, my life hasn’t changed. “I am still the same Ian before and after the kidney purification procedure.”

“Yes, it’s the same Ian to me.”

Ian ran and hugged Geommugeuk. She cried for a long time in Geommugeuk’s arms. I didn’t say thank you. I felt like my gratitude would fade if I said it in words.

“Can I ask you again?”

“what?”

“Why are you being so nice to me?”

“Don’t ask. “It’s a question I’ll have to ask again sooner or later.”

“yes?”

With an unexpected smile, Geommugeuk grabbed her hand.

“Let’s go and show off.”

“Who?”

“Who is it? “Starting with the worst person in the world who made fun of you and called you an ugly heart.”

Ian smiled brightly at Geommugeuk’s words.

I walked down the street with Ian.

People split left and right, like water splitting. Everyone looked at her in fascination. Not only men but also women stared. I looked at the child and the old man too. I saw a monk and a Taoist monk. The dog that was barking also stopped crying and looked at her.

-Everyone is looking at you. How do you feel?

―It’s too burdensome.

-Enjoy it.

-How can you enjoy it when people are looking at you like that?

-Enjoy that gaze. Ah, I wish you could look at me like that too.

―Please take it!

―Once you get used to it, you won’t say things like that, right?

It was the same when I arrived at Cheonhwaru. Everyone’s eyes were focused on her. Admiration erupted from everywhere.

Among the courtesans, there were some famous beauties, but they were incomparable from the beginning. Although she had the same beauty, Ian had a noble quality to her. Even though she had no makeup on, her face was glowing.

So we entered the room where Extreme Soma and Cheonhwaruju were.

Extreme Evil Soma was lying on Cheonhwaruju’s lap.

“Luckily you’re still here.”

“I waited for you to come. “What have you been so busy about?”

Extreme Soma glanced at me and was surprised when he saw Ian next to him. Extreme Soma stood up.

I thought it would be enough to end Ian’s beauty with these words.

A beauty that raises even the evil soma that was lying down.

“Who are you?”

“This is my new heart.”

“What about the old heart?”

“I threw it away.”

“Did you kill that ugly heart by any chance?”

I smiled because I knew he was sincerely asking this.

“Yes, I killed him with my own hands.”

“What if I kill you?”

“Why are you doing this? “Do you really want to see my ugly heart?”

“No, I haven’t paid off the money to repair the carriage yet.”

Ian smiled brightly at those words. When she smiled, it felt like the whole place became brighter.

At that time, Tianhuaruju asked the extremely evil demon vaguely.

“I’m prettier than when I was younger, right?”

I urgently looked at Extreme Soma.

‘Be careful! It’s a trap, Soma.’
