Chapter 4: The Reckless Fiance In A Martial Arts Visual Novel (3)

Among the items listed in the dowry, I discovered a metal that appeared in the game.

Jangbaeksun-eun ()

Just hearing it seems like I should drink a bowl of national pride. The description of this baseless metal was roughly as follows.

Jangbaek Mountain. The name used in China for Mount Baekdu. Jangbaeksun-eun referred to silver from Jangbaek Mountain, which reacted to demonic energy.

A sword plated with this silver inflicted additional damage on members of the Demonic Sect. If made into an ornament, it became an item that could detect those tainted by evil.

In other words, it was like a fantasy metal from Mount Baekdu with special properties.

It was indeed Jangbaek Mountain. A symbol of nationalistic martial arts!

Where the legendary hermits and horseback warriors frolicked and where the mysterious figures of Jangbaek discussed who was the best in the world. What wouldnt be there? Eventually, it might even be a place where the sky split and Chiyou appeared.

I couldnt believe it was here.

Was it here because its a Korean metal?

Having this, I could secure plausibility for my plan.

Dolsoe,

Yes, Young Master.

Bring me some Jangbaeksun-eun from the dowry.

As soon as he heard that, Dolsoe, who was holding the reins below, had a look of Is this guy even human?

Young Master, if we embezzle that, well both die.

No, Im not going to use it myself.

Of course. Theres no way the Young Master would use it. It must be for some top courtesan at a pleasure house.

Was I the kind of person for him to think something like that even before I finished speaking?

Hmm I remembered embezzling many valuables from the warehouse.

Handing over silver and having them take off their tops, giving gold and having them take off more.

The courtesan sells dreams, not her body,] said the proud courtesan. First, I would slip jade rings on all ten of her fingers, then say,

Tonight, you will enter my chamber.

.

The trembling eyes of the dignified courtesan. How could such a courtesan ever receive such precious jade rings?

Hmm. Hesitating?

Then, I would remove one ring from her finger.

Hesitated, so now there are only nine. Tonight, you will enter my chamber.

If she still hesitated, Id remove another, leaving eight.

My Lord

Complete conquest.

Wow, the more I remembered, the more impressive I was. Truly a life of flexing.

Even just memories with women were like AV videos. A colored history of seduction.

Dont joke, Oppa. Do you really like me? Ah Damn, really.

Suddenly, a painful memory surfaced. But what was the use of dwelling on such painful wounds?

With so many sins committed, it felt awkward to make excuses to Dolsoe, so I stated my purpose directly.

Im not trying to embezzle it. I want to give it to my fiance.

Jangbaeksun-eun? But isnt all the dowry going to the brides family anyway?

Dolsoe was questioning as if it was a weird excuse.

No. I want to gift her a ring made of that silver. The dowry is from the family, not from me.

If you embezzle it to give it, isnt it still from the family?

Its different because my sincerity is involved. Stop nagging and just use my name to take out the Jangbaeksun-eun. Take it to the most famous artisan in Yeodongseong and ask him to craft a ring.

Its not a problem to take it out, but Im not familiar with this area.

There are many who came and went as attendants following my father. Theyll know. Just command them in my name.

Understood. Please take the reins again.

With that, Dolsoe passed the reins back.New novel chapters are published on

It must be made before we enter the Moyong Family. Im counting on you.

If this went well, I could add significant plausibility to my plan. I asked with a heartfelt plea.

Wow! Youre even entrusting me with this for your marriage. Ill make sure its done right.

Dolsoe said with a smile and headed towards the dowry carriage.

Eventually, she realized that her brother must be involved in this, but only when she couldnt just focus on martial arts training anymore.

She demanded an open sparring match with her brother.

To beat him severely and make him spill the truth.

In front of the Elders, blood relatives, family members, and guests. All the people of the Moyong Family watched as her brother and she stood against each other.

Her brother never seemed invincible. But

She was overwhelmingly defeated.

Hahahahaha! Truly a pathetic sight!! Just admit your defeat!!

A triumphant laugh seemed to burst from deep within. Despite all her efforts, she couldnt beat her brother. She was defeated that day.

That defeat caused the factions relying on her talent to suffer a devastating blow.

But, on the contrary, she found a clue.

The energy her brother used that day.

It was the demonic energy of the Demonic Sect.

She focused on finding evidence through Changbongdaes leader and a few trustworthy people. But it was too late. Her brother had sold her to a barbarian clan.

How much did you hate me, brother?

The man her brother chose for her was human trash. A garbage who treated even his fiance like a courtesan.

Gathering rumors after, even being called human trash, seemed too generous for him.

He enjoyed alcohol, women, and gambling, even hitting his teacher, who urged him to study. He caused various incidents and always tried to settle them with money, never apologizing.

She couldnt marry such a man.

So, she sent fake evidence to Joseon to frame his family for treason.

It was flimsy evidence, but the family had amassed wealth through smuggling. There must be something dubious if investigated.

That way, she could break off the engagement and buy some time. Thats what she thought.

Theres not enough time.

If the wedding proceeded, shed become an outsider, forced to leave her family.

The family will belong to her brother, her father will pass away, and it will fall under the control of the Demonic Sect.

She had to find a way to delay it.

Young Master, we will soon be a days journey away.

A days journey from the underworld.

The closer we got to the Moyong Family, the more despair I felt. Could I really succeed?

Huh?

There was a sage who said marriage is the tomb of life, you bastard. By that logic, Im heading to the underworld now.

I quickly covered it up.

What tomb? The lady youre marrying is so beautiful that her fame reaches from Yeodongseong to Joseon. Its not a tomb but a flower garden.

I dont need such a flower garden. Id rather eat Matdongsan.

The Matdongsan in an envelope held by my father returning from work. Dad, please buy some other snacks than Matdongsan next time. Hehe. Okay, Ill buy something else next time. He laughed awkwardly, but the envelope still contained Matdongsan.

Id rather have that unappetizing Matdongsan.

Huh?

Never mind. Isnt that procession approaching us? Shouldnt we block them?

A procession of horse riders was approaching us, raising a cloud of dust in the distance.

Stop! Stop!

The captain of the guards hurriedly went forward to stop the approaching group. When the dust settled, what appeared were sword-bearing warriors.

What was this? A band of robbers? I didnt know how to use a sword.

We are from the Kang family of Joseon. We are traveling for a wedding with the Moyong Family. Identify yourselves!

The captain loudly declared our identity to the other party with a few guards.

This seemed too meticulous for such a purpose.

Were they here to harm us?

We were from the well-known Kang family of Joseon, werent we? Didnt they know? Then, do you know the Moyong Family? If you cant handle the consequences, step aside. If not, well make you face the underworld. Something like that.

Then, a representative-looking figure from the other side spoke up.

Welcome. We are Changryongdae, the direct personal guard of the Moyong Family head. We have come to escort Master Kang Yun-ho and his party.

Ah.

My underworld gate had approached.
