Chapter 195. Paradise and Earth (1)

After advancing to a High Ranker, Seol Jihu decided to hold off on using the Divine Stigmata. This was because he changed his growth plan following Jang Maldong’s advice. He gave up on the idea of a quick growth to avoid wasting his precious elixirs and decided to advance slowly, one step at a time.

First, he decided to focus on recovery. Restoring his dropped stats became his top priority for now. After all, while the drop was only temporary, leaving it as it was for a long time could lead to a permanent drop.

As such, he reinstated his training regime with a light run. It was then that he realized why Jang Maldong emphasized resting so much.

Now that he had taken ample rest, his body had recovered to the point of being able to endure harsh training. And so, he began to recuperate quickly.

Of course, his fast recovery was largely in part thanks to Seo Yuhui’s devoted care. While Seol Jihu had no idea, Seo Yuhui was the richest person in Paradise when it came to medicine.

She invited Seol Jihu over for dinners every three to four days, feeding him food made with all sorts of precious ingredients that would expedite his healing process. Thanks to this, Seol Jihu looked healthier every day, and he regained his muscle mass, blood volume, and skin even while he was lying in his bed.

Today was the same.

Seo Yuhui appeared as soon as Seol Jihu’s training was over and fed him a sumptuous meal that would make anyone watching drool and choke in envy.

Nom, nom, nom, nom.

As Seo Yuhui watched Seol Jihu snarf up the meal while sweating, her eyes showed signs of being distracted.

Should I say it?

After deliberating for a long time, she carefully broke the silence.

“Um… Jihu.”

Seol Jihu, who had his nose buried in his bowl, turned around.

“Yes?”

“Mm… um…”

Seo Yuhui hesitated slightly.

“The gift you gave me. Where did you get it from?”

“Oh, from Modern Mall. I bought yours from Victoria’s Secret. Their sizes are accurate and they have more selection of cups. Their designs are pretty too.”

‘Mine?’

Seo Yuhui held herself back from voicing her doubts. She instantly thought, ‘Did he really?’ But another thought, ‘No way’, quickly put the previous one to sleep.

Little did she know that her hunch was correct.

In any case, Seol Jihu tilted his head as if to ask ‘What’s wrong?’ And Seo Yuhui couldn’t bring herself to question someone with such an innocent look.

“I… I see. That must have been hard. It’s… uh, hard to find that size.”

“No, not at all. I know most of the foreign lingerie stores that are in Korea like the back of my hand.”

Seol Jihu boasted like a board member of a famous company bragging about being a China Hand.[ref]
