Chapter 50

Episode 50

“Poison?”

The pot-bellied middle-aged man’s face turned pale.

It wasn’t like a metaphor.

Starting from the nape of my neck, my entire face turned blue.

“When...”

“When they laughed and ridiculed my appearance. “Maybe it’s because it’s so fleshy, but it’s a little late for the poison to pick up.”

“You released the poison indoors like this?”

“You don’t have to worry. “I adjusted it so as not to cause any inconvenience to other guests.”

“You coward!”

“cowardice? “Are you sure that you started a fight with a member of the party without preparing to be poisoned?”

“Is it all okay?”

I was able to roughly understand the situation.

A middle-aged man disparaged Dang Seo-yeon’s appearance, and Dang Seo-yeon retorted, resulting in a fight.

‘It’s the same as back then.’

It was like that a few days ago when there was a conflict with a group of bandits.

[She looks really scary.]

[She looks terrible. Did you roll around in a field of fire?]

[Khahaha! I wonder if I can get married like that!]

Not only is a person handsome and beautiful, but an ugly face can also cause trouble.

This is especially true in Moorim, which is full of people who want to increase their presence by putting others down.

‘Did you say that you got a serious burn on your face because you handled the fire poison incorrectly?’

When Tang Seo-yeon was young, she got into a serious accident while practicing her family’s martial arts.

Fortunately, he escaped blindness, but he was left with scars that will never be erased.

Anyone who sees her for the first time, regardless of age or gender, instinctively feels repelled.

So did I.

Of course, in my case, I was more afraid of her background than her appearance.

‘Well, it’s an undeniable fact that appearance played a part.’

Even I, who have seen demons with grotesque appearances countless times in my past life, feel that way, and it goes without saying how the average person would feel about it.

However, she was not ashamed of her appearance.

I didn’t even try to hide it.

He also had a pulpit where he could respond without being intimidated if someone challenged him on the basis of his appearance.

‘I now know why I never saw her in my past life.’

To put it in a good way, he had a bold personality, but to put it in a bad way, he could be said to be inflexible.

Seoyeon Tang clearly possessed outstanding skills.

He was excellent at martial arts and had considerable knowledge of poisons and medicine.

However, there were many people in the world who were stronger than her.

‘During the trip, he was caught up in a dispute that he could not handle and lost his life. I guess that’s roughly it.’

Of course, this was just a prediction without any basis.

However, the possibility was quite high.

[I had a meeting with the head of the party not long ago, and he said this. My daughter is old enough to leave Ganghohaeng, but she feels uneasy about letting her go alone.] [But she

said she is having a hard time because it is obvious that she will not like it if we give her the family’s attendants.]

Perhaps in her previous life, she would have left Ganghohaeng alone.

‘It’s like Dokgo Castle. ‘He is a person who did not stand out in his previous life.’

Suddenly, I thought it was fun.

Dokgo-seong and Tang Seoyeon are like that.

I was excited to see what changes these two people, who had not particularly distinguished themselves in the history of their previous lives, would make in the future.

“What if I put my head on the floor right now and don’t apologize? “I haven’t heard back yet.”

“........”

“Tell me something.”

Cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged man’s face as Tang Seo-yeon gently urged him.

At first glance, he appears to be a reasonably powerful warrior belonging to Sega, but he was not a good opponent.

If you turn a party with a damned family custom that repays resentment tenfold, it will not end in a light disturbance.

“I was rude to a noble person without knowing him. Please forgive me.”

“.......”

“I guess I was drunk and out of my mind. Please have mercy just once. “I will pray like this.”

In the end, the man could not overcome his fear and fell flat on the floor.

Tang Seo-yeon, who was looking down at the man with cold eyes, put her hand into her bosom.

When I noticed that she was about to take out herbal medicine and throw it to her, I quickly got between the two of them.

“Sozer. “Can you leave this person’s disposition to me?”

“......?”

My mind became cold as if cold water had been poured on it.

‘Furthermore, there were more than one person who observed the situation at the time. If two people suddenly disappear, suspicion will inevitably turn towards me.’

He clicked his tongue and muttered as he placed the ax on his shoulder and placed it on the floor.

“Damn it.”

A situation that cannot be like this or that.

He scratched the back of his head and shouted nervously.

“Why is there no answer!”

There was no answer.

Jeon Woong’s eyes narrowed.

An inexplicable feeling of anxiety rose up.

He added strength to the hand holding the handle of the ax and carefully opened the paper door.

‘uh?’

A shocking sight came into view.

All of the subordinates standing guard outside were asleep with their backs against the wall.

One side of the dark yard.

A young man was standing with his back to me and looking this way.

The young man waved his hand happily and opened his mouth.

“Ah, head of the family.”

“Huh-up.”

Jeon Woong, who recognized the other person’s identity, quickly covered his mouth with his left hand.

I almost screamed.

“You don’t have to worry, my subordinates. “I just gave him a blood transfusion and put him to sleep.”

“What brings you here?”

“I stopped by for a moment because I had something additional to tell you. By the way, what you are holding in your hand...”

Jeon Woong was so startled that he threw the ax in his hand to the floor.

The young man burst into laughter at that ridiculous sight.

The young man, who soon caught his breath, pulled out the sword from his waist and spoke.

“I couldn’t tell you because there were a lot of eyes watching in the guest room.”

“......?”

“You must find the demon before the volcano sect’s Taoists. “If you don’t, something big will happen.”

The young man, Yeonsun, pulled out the sword from his waist and swung it towards the wall.

Quadddddd!

The wall, cut into dozens of pieces, collapsed.

Jeon Woong looked at the scene with a blank expression.

“Then I assume you understand and I will leave now.”

Yeonsun’s new form disappeared as if melting into the darkness.

As if possessed, Jeon Woong took steps toward the collapsed wall, his cheeks trembling.

He saw the moment the young man swung his sword.

The seven strands of swords that spew out from the sword point.

‘This is not the time.’

He hurriedly kicked the ground and muttered.

‘We have to find Mine quickly!’

* * *

It has been three days since I was trapped in Shaanxi due to the blockade.

Early morning.

I woke up to the commotion outside, got up, took the sword I had put down under the bed, and left the room.

pop! Puff poop!

Fireworks soared high into the sky, scattering bright light.

I recognized at a glance that it was a signal indicating Mine’s location.

‘Has it started slowly?’

Last night, Jeon Woong, the head of Cheonsalbang, came to see me.

His face was gaunt due to how much he had suffered.

[We found the demon.]

[Thank you for your hard work.]

I immediately went out to the street and reported the whereabouts of the demon to the Taoist of the Volcanic Sect.

The very excited Taoist of the Volcanic Sect promised to reward me and left immediately.

‘Okay then.’

I searched through my chest and took out the fox mask I had received from Cheon Ga-ryeong not long ago.

Wearing a mask, I climbed onto the roof of the guest house, jumped between buildings, and moved in the direction where the fireworks were shooting out.

It was said that the most interesting thing to watch was to watch a fight.

At this point, I was thinking of watching how the volcanic wave defeated the demon.
