Chapter 758: O-ryong-jaeng-ju

(T/N: Divine theory based on topography (basically feng shui) that narrates five dragons fighting for the cintamani.)

The night when Yong Jegun’s bait caused a stir.

Kim Shinrok and Jo Euishin came to the Yellow Cloud Lake in the Yellow Dragon Palace.

Jo Euishin was staring still at the lake's surface beyond the fog and clouds.

‘Jo Euishin-gun must be thinking about the plan again.’

The Dragon Clan, including Hwangryong and Yong Jegun, accepted Jo Euishin’s proposal.

Things are going well, but Jo Euishin didn’t let his guard down.

Jo Euishin explored the Dragon Palace with Yoon Yeorang, and even when he wasn’t exploring, he would look back at the Dragon Palace and be lost in thought.

Kim Shinrok had this conversation with Jo Euishin;

— There’s no way the test will end safely. I’m sure they prepared a contingency plan for the dragons.

— What do you think they’ll do, Jo Euishin-gun?

— I don’t know for sure. From what I know before, they didn’t have to be so extreme.

What I know before.

In the scenario Jo Euishin knew, the test that took place in the absence of the dragons except for Hwangryong ends as the shamans intended.

The shamans win without having to play big games.

Therefore, Jo Euishin says that the information he knows is small.

— But I can guess what they’re aiming for.

Jo Euishin said so and looked sorry.

If Hwangho were here, he would’ve said “Jo Euishin, stop thinking about useless things and sit down and drink your tea.”

Unfortunately, Hwangho wasn’t there, nor was Jeokho, to convey this.

While Kim Shinrok was trying to find a gap to talk to Jo Euishin, Hwangryong appeared quietly through the clouds.

“Ah, I see the guests are here.”

“Hello.”

Kim Shinrok felt like Hwangryong was intentionally hiding his presence.

The lake was filled with Hwangryong’s clouds, and Jo Euishin, who was somewhat farther away, didn’t feel or hear Hwangryong.

The dragon spoke in a low voice.

“That child seems lost in thought. I don’t want to disturb him.”

Kim Shinrok understood Hwangryong’s heart and decided to stifle his presence as well.

Kim Shinrok moved his eyes to look at Hwangryong and asked in a small voice.

“Did you return alone?”

“I was with Cheongryong just now. Were you worried about me? You really are a good child. I understand why Yong Jegun boasts about you.”

Perhaps because of Yong Jegun, the Dragon Clan treats Kim Shinrok well.

Kim Shinrok quickly changed the topic.

“Thank you. I’m sorry that the Dragon Palace has become a dangerous place.”

“Don’t apologize. It’s been dangerous all this time, I just didn’t know.”

Hwangryong began to ask about life on the ground in a gentle manner.

Kim Shinrok answered sincerely, but he had many things on his mind.

‘That damned dragon said that his blindfold was given by Hwangryong-nim not long ago. I would’ve known if I had been more thoughtful...’

Kim Shinrok thought that Yong Jegun had long prepared a blindfold for himself to wear once his divinity rose.

But from Hwangryong’s story, it seemed to be recent.

Still, it hasn’t changed that Yong Jegun has been building his divinity for a long time.

While they were talking, Kim Shinrok had been unconsciously staring at Hwangryong’s blindfold.

“Yong Jegun talks to you often, but he doesn’t seem to have shared important conversations.”

“What?”

“I know just from looking at you. I also remember your expression whenever Yong Jegun talked about ascension.”RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

Kim Shinrok hurriedly turned away his eyes and straightened his expression, but it was already late.

Hwangryong was blindfolded but had a wide vision.

He smiled softly at the sight.

“I am now more accustomed to calling that kid Yong Jegun instead of Cintamani. So may I call you Jeho?”

“...You may call me however you wish.”

“Okay, Jeho-yah.”

“I don’t know what song to sing...”

“I’m so nervous I think I’ll make a mistake. Can I play the accompaniment through my device?”

“Hmm, do you have it?”

“Ah, I have a few songs! I’ll send them to you if you need them.

The candidates exchanged words with each other during the given time for preparation.

They never had such a conversation in PMH.

‘They’ve gotten closer because they’ve spent a long time staying here.’

Yoon Yeorang shared with the other candidates the accompaniment version of the songs that she had, but it didn’t help much.

Yoon Yeorang seemed to be a Playlist fan, but it was difficult to sing Yeo Raehoon’s hip-hop songs and Dokgo Miro’s dance songs compared to the ones provided.

‘There are many famous songs, but it would be hard to sing them here.’

Yeo Rahoon’s rap has a lot of words and a fast tempo.

Dokgo Miro’s songs have a lot of high notes which makes it impressive that she can sing them perfectly while dancing.

After much thought, the candidates gave up trying to choose songs from Playlist.

Hwangryong, who was watching this and chatting with the people from Dragon Clan, said a word when he heard about the candidates talking about accompaniment.

“Accompaniment, huh... It might be better to have it in person. Do our guests know how to play instruments?”

Hwangryong’s question was directed to the Tiger guests.

Jeokho was the first to answer.

“My son is a teacher and he can handle instruments used in music classes.”

Kim Shinrok isn’t a music teacher, but he must know his instruments.

Jeokho’s son had a face that seemed to say “How does Jeokho-nim know that?”

“Yong Jegun, you’re a teacher too. Can you play as well?”

“I haven’t taught music before. Should I start practicing now?”

“No need.”

Despite offering, Yong Jegun didn’t seem to want to play instruments.

Hwangryong then asked me.

“And you?”

The attention suddenly turned to me.

I don’t know if it’s just my feelings, but their eyes seemed to convey pity.

I answered bluntly.

“I can handle simple percussion instruments with practice.”

“Yeah, Euishin practiced playing the triangle a lot.”

“...I see.”

Yong Jegun stepped in as soon as I finished speaking, and Hwangryong nodded as if he understood something.

“Do you like playing?”

“I like to listen.”

I like hearing the class bell of Eungwang High.

I always listen to songs played by my playable characters.

But I don’t really enjoy playing myself.

If it’s necessary, I can practice doing it, but I wouldn’t do so voluntarily.

“If you will sing songs from the scores that I presented, I’ll play the accompaniment myself.”

Hwangryong offered to the candidates.

They now have a choice between singing a song they know without accompaniment or a song they’ve never heard before but with Hwangryong.

Yoon Yeorang chose a song that she knew, while the other two chose to be accompanied by Hwangryong.

“Alright. I will now decide the order. Write down your name and hand it to Unryong.”

When the preparation time was over, Unryong walked toward the candidates with a box.

Three pieces of paper were put in, and Hwangryong will be drawing the lot.

Hwangryong’s chosen paper popped up in the air.

“The first candidate to sing has been decided. Come forward.”

Yoon Yeorang saw the name written on the paper and approached the surface of the lake with cheerful steps.

She was the first to perform. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
