Chapter 15: Change the Course to North-Northwest (4)

Change the Course to North-Northwest (4)

Fuck, I actually almost died.

There were several truly dizzying moments.

Thanks to Yang Sowols help and the fact that attacks hardly came from the side where Jin Jangmyeong was, she barely survived.

But Jin Jangmyeong wasnt attacked at all.

It meant that the target of all those villains gathered in the inn was to abduct this bratty kid.

And to think she was almost stolen away like some spoils of war that would be made as a concubine.

Whats with her? Is she some kind of princess?

But she doesnt quite look the part to be called a princess.

At that moment, Yang Sowol gave a deep bow to A-Qing.

A-Qing was startled.

It was quite burdensome, no, beyond burdensome, seeing as she was old enough to be her mother.

Once again, I am in your debt, Great Expert.

Huh, debt? No, no, no. Its nothing. Its rea-Ugh.

When A-Qing waved her arms in protest, she choked back a scream.

Blood was dripping from her arm.

Its okay when its someone elses blood, but when its mine, every bit feels precious. Is that selfish of me?

Great Expert, your wound..!

Its okay. I just need to spit on it a bit.

A-Qing didnt need to worry about any infections.

All she needed to do was apply some medicine and rest. Then, it would heal.

Though it would take some time and be quite inconvenient.

But Great Expert, your arm.!

Ah shit, once again, my patience is.

Great Expert?

Its okay. Losing an arm is nothing. Its fortunate that the child is safe. Oh well.

I did it! A-Qing smiled like a fool.

Rather than that, I need to treat it quickly.

Fortunately, Yang Sowol knew some simple medical techniques.

She even had some decent medicine for weapon wounds.

But sadly, there were also unfortunate aspects.

There was no way to anesthetize the pain.

In the end, instead of anesthesia, she bit down on a handkerchief.

Thus, while pulling out the dagger and sewing up the wound, A-Qing had a taste of what hell on earth truly was.

Deep wounds turned inside out and protruded.

They were pressed down gently and sewn up with large stitches, repeating the process depending on the depth.

Afterwards, it was sewn up with smaller stitches.

By the time the wound was wrapped with a clean cloth, A-Qings eyes had turned blood-red.

It was because all the capillaries there had burst.

Of course, bursting into tears played a part too.

Fuck Top G and all that. It hurt way too much to act all manly.

Seriously.

A-Qing, who was a bit embarrassed after calming down, changed the subject.

So, what were up with those bastards?

That is.

Yang Sowol hesitated, trailing off.

Then, after a moment, her expression became determined.

It would only be right and respectful to tell our benefactor.

Huh, I wasnt that curious, though.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

It was a bit burdensome; after all, she had just asked without putting much thought into it.

She was seriously not interested, but Yang Sowol didnt seem to believe her.

Thank you for your consideration. The truth is, this child.

Shes hyping up the situation! Seems like theres a pretty big secret!

A-Qing swallowed hard in anticipation.

Was born with Pure Yin Blood.

What a shocking conclusion!

To think it was Pure Yin Blood! I have no idea what that is!

Yang Sowol, with her seasoned intuition and observations, realized this fact.

Great Expert, Pure Yin Blood means

-

Yang Sowol was originally a martial artist, but retired after marrying her husband and settled in a remote part of Fujian.

Her husband was a kind person, and so on and so forth.

To put it simply, it was about how happy she was with her husband.

The peak of their happiness was when they discovered they were expecting a child.

The child was frail.

Her limbs were always cold, she easily got sick, and once she fell asleep, she had trouble waking up.

Of course, that didnt mean it hindered their happiness.

Or take the child to an appropriate sect

Righteous Karma) Transfer the elixir to the rightful owner

Evil Karma) Sell the elixir

Evil Karma) Take the elixir for yourself

Heavenly Slaughtering Star) Destroy the elixir and take the lifeblood

[This choice could influence everything below Heaven.]

It was a Mission Window format she had never seen before.

A Mission Window usually encompassed killing bad guys on the spot or doing bad deeds with them. That was the extent of it.

To go a bit further, it would be to kill the bad guys friends as well.

Or kill indiscriminately, whether they were good or bad.

It had always been roughly along those lines.

If I knew this would happen, I would have read up a bit on Mission Guides.

Character Making and Early-Game Farming Route.

The only information A-Qing had before entering the game was these two.

There was no time to look up other information.

The game wasnt that large in storage size to begin with.

After all, it installed in an instant, so she immediately started the game.

Whats Omen? And whats the nth Criss?

The condition for achieving the second Righteous Karma was the same.

But transfer the elixir to the rightful owner?

Moreover, the choice of words was unpleasantly blunt.

There was only one mission method that treated Jin Jangmyeong as a human being.

Elixir?

The fuck is up with referring to a perfectly alive child as an elixir?

Crack. A-Qing gritted her teeth.

What the hell?

What am I supposed to do? What are you expecting me to do? What am I?

Am I inside a game? Am I the protagonist? What is this world?

What about the child? The mother? Are they humans or just programmed beings?

Why me? Why only me? Why? Why?

WhatthefuckisOmensupposedtobe.

Suddenly, something cold touched her wrist.

With faded, empty eyes, A-Qing moved her neck like a rusty machine.

A small hand grabbing her wrist.

A hand so cold that it snapped her awake.

Its cold

The child pulled on her wrist with her feeble strength.

Following her pull, A-Qings hand touched her unusually chilly cheek.

Haaa.

A-Qing let out a deep sigh.

She felt like utter shit.

Just looking at the Status Window was enough to provoke a seizure. Wasnt that technically a disease?

Then is this a mental illness? Me, a mental patient?!

This is quite a shocking revelation.

Dont look at me like that, guy. You guys would understand if you went through it, you see.

A-Qing forcefully swallowed the rising nausea.

The bitter gastric juice that momentarily reached the back of her throat didnt come out but went back down.

She harshly scratched her throat in frustration.

Great Expert?

Ah. Yes. What were we talking about? Ah, right. Of course, we must go together. I can tell you this. Sure. Of course.

AQing responded in that manner.

Is there something like a Settings Window?

So that I can turn off the suddenly appearing Mission Windows.

This fucking piece of shit thing.

A-Qing, instead of swearing out loud, looked down at the childs face.

The sleeping child naturally brought peace to her mind and body.

Perhaps humans evolved that way.

Like to protect vulnerable children? Maybe?

Mission or whatever, A-Qing had only one choice.

Female Middle Schooler chan was just a baby. Babies must be protected.

That was common sense for any civilized modern Korean.

1

kind of a meme in korea. but basically, the chan comes from Japanese. Also, Korean pronouns are weird, as in they dont really use them. So, it may be that A-Qing was really shocked that Jin Jangmyeong is a girl. Because she was so malnourished, she couldve been seen as a little boy. I changed the previous TLs to fit the she part, but its obviously difficult to do this Big Reveal when we use she before. Just a heads-up and fun fact!
