Chapter 152: The Lazy Man Reflects (3)

Warm sunlight gently tickles my cheeks through the window.

Sunlight that's too warm can disrupt sleep. But the sunlight currently shining on Weiyen Lake was just right. Lying in this sunlight would surely make anyone fall asleep.

Except for Wei Yanho.

'I can't sleep… … .'

I can't sleep.

This was a big problem.

For others, not being able to sleep might be an everyday occurrence, but for Wei Yanhu, not being able to sleep was a world-changing event.

Who is Wi Yeon-ho?

Wei Yanho is the type of person who can sleep for three nights and four days without opening his eyes as long as no one disturbs him.

huh?

Didn't you get less sleep as you learned martial arts?

you're welcome.

In fact, I've been able to sleep better than before. Even Wei Yanhu, as a human, cannot sleep without eating and drinking, and he cannot sleep without taking out what he has eaten and drunk.

In the past, no matter how lazy I was, I had to get up to eat and drink water. But now, thanks to my martial arts training and my ability to control my body, I can sleep for three nights and four days without moving.

Isn't this amazing?

But now, Wei Yanhu was unable to sleep.

Are you worried about the confrontation with the Heavenly Demon?

Is the burden on your shoulders too heavy?

no.

'I slept too much.'

Wi Yeon-ho raised his head with an awkward expression.

'Wow, I never thought this day would come.'

It's something I never imagined.

Since leaving home with his older brother, Wei Yanho has not had a single day of rest.

It was actually harsh.

Does it make sense that Wei Yanhu, the world's laziest person, lives the busiest life in the world?

Everyone has their own inclinations and roles. Wei Yanho's busy life was no different from fish crawling on land or birds gliding through the water.

It is against the laws and principles of the world.

And now, for the first time since entering the cave, Wei Yanhu was free from those hectic days.

A day to relax and unwind?

It did exist.

Looking back, there were quite a few things in between.

But never before have I had a moment to stretch my legs and relax, free from interference and nagging.

“Ugh.”

Wi Yeon-ho stretched and stretched. A rustling sound could be heard throughout his body.

Wei Yanho, with an expression like a puppy lying in the spring sun, looked around.

‘Around here, probably… … .’

yes.

Wei Yanho picked up the kettle on the bed and gulped down the cool water from the kettle. The kettle had been changed several times while he slept, and the coolness hadn't completely worn off.

“Kaaa!”

Wi Yeon-ho, who had even drunk some cool water, lay down on the bed again.

“Hmm.”

I slept very soundly.

I'm starting to get hungry, but not so hungry that I can't stand it.

Right now, I have a stronger desire to just lie down and roll around than to eat something.

Wei Yanhu could not resist that desire.

I just lay in bed, doing nothing. I just quietly enjoyed the feeling of the sunlight pouring down on my body.

'I feel strange.'

In the distant past, days like this were commonplace. Spending the day in bed, then, when you're feeling particularly hungry, you'll get up and eat.

At that time, Wei Yanhu was a headache for the Guangdong Wei family.

It was a time when he was called a lazy turtle and was pointed at by everyone. Even his family worried about Wei Yanho's laziness.

Although his mother tried to protect him, she also did not like Wei Yanho.

So what about now?

'Now I'm a dragon.'

Everyone depends on him.

Wi Jeong-han is showered with flattery, saying that he will be strong because he has a great disciple, and Wi Yeon-ho is also showered with looks of favor and admiration.

Well, I guess so.

'I did pretty well, though.'

Isn't it great?

Of course, everything Wei Yanho achieved was possible because he happened to become Baek Muhan's disciple. But not everyone with talent and qualifications achieves success, right?

Although he may have started with what he received from Baek Mu-han, everything Wei Yan-ho accomplished was possible only through his own efforts. In that sense, no one can deny Wei Yan-ho's accomplishments.

From a lazy bum to the best in the world in Guangdong Wei Family.

In that short period of time, Wei Yanhu achieved a perfect turnaround.

but…….

“It’s strange.”

Wi Yeon-ho snickers.

“I liked it better before.”

Success was achieved.

Success that must be achieved as an unmanned entity.

By diligently pursuing martial arts, he improves his skills and ultimately rises to the position of the greatest in the world. With this strength, he revives his family and school, earning the respect of the world.

A place that everyone longs for, but not everyone can climb.

Wei Yanhu had already reached that point at a young age.

He rose to the top of the world.

If we can just overcome this crisis, Guangdong Wei will be known as the best in the world.

There is no need for Wi Yeon-ho to come forward.

Wi Yeon-ho can just roll around. His father will be the one to raise the family. Unlike Wi Yeon-ho, Wi Jeong-han can't live without work.

If the fame of Wei Yanhu is properly utilized, the Guangdong Wei family could quickly become larger than the Tang family.

Although Wei Yanho has almost everything that everyone else wants, he doesn't feel any particular emotion.

'Because I never wished for it.'

I must retract my claim that this is what every unmanned person desires. Wei Yanho has never once wished for such things. What he wanted was a little money and a comfortable bed.

and…….

“It’s really strange.”

Wi Yeon-ho chuckled.

I want to run away.

I want to run away.

It was completely unacceptable to Wei Yanhu that he had to fight against the Heavenly Horse for the sake of the Central Plains.

It might be a grand mission for some.

And for some, it might be a good opportunity to prove their will.

But it's not Wei Yanhu.

Wei Yanho doesn't have a sense of mission to save the Central Plains. He's not the kind of person whose heart warms at the thought of someone believing in him.

You can't do it without Wei Yanho?

'What is that?'

Being able to do something doesn't justify doing it. And the claim that only Wei Yanhu can do it is also wrong. To be precise, Wei Yanhu is only somewhat capable of it. Everyone else should be saying they can't do it.

It is unreasonable for Wei Yanhu to shoulder all the burden just because he is the strongest.

The best option for Wei Yanhu now is to run away.

It is difficult to stop the Heavenly Demon.

But it's not that hard to escape from Cheonma. Wei Yanhu is strong.

but…….

Wi Yeon-ho snickers.

“There’s no way that’ll happen.”

Wei Yanhu can run away, but Wei Zhenghan will not run away.

The same goes for long days.

Because everyone is stupid.

Even though they scream loudly to run away right away, when they are actually in a situation where they have to run away, they hold on even if it means risking their lives.

They are such people.

It was a strange thing.

I guess that's what it means to live in the world of martial arts.

Those who brazenly do things that others might consider foolish. Those who risk their lives for justice and righteousness, without regard for gain or loss.

Such people lead the world of martial arts.

It was really strange.

It is said that this kind of role was given to Wei Yan-ho, who is the least suited to such things.

“Ugh.”

Wi Yeon-ho raised his hand and covered his eyes.

The pouring sunlight stings my eyes.

Wi Yeon-ho closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

They say it's hard to get what you want.

Wi Yeon-ho's desires aren't anything grand. He just wants to live a carefree, comfortable life with his family and friends, lazing around.

I don't need fame, nor do I need the admiring looks.

To go down in history as a hero who saved the world?

If it's over when you die, what's the point of leaving such a reputation?

That's not what Wei Yanhu wants. It's just… … .

“Ugh.”

I know.

Even so, you can't run away.

Because the thing he wants most is held hostage by the Heavenly Horse.

I can't imagine.

The sight of them running away and living happily without any help from the sea…

Could that be possible?

Can the remaining people live happily together after handing over the body of the coral to Cheonma?

'That won't work.'

I can't help but laugh.

Even when you sleep, it feels like you're on a bed of thorns, and even when you eat, it feels like you're chewing sand.

For Wei Yan-ho, whose life goal was to eat well and sleep well, losing sleep and food was unthinkable.

And even if… … .

Even if time passes and he can smile and find small happiness again, Wei Yanhu will never be able to escape the guilt of abandoning Weishanhu.

That was a punishment worse than death.

Something you can never escape or forget.

Even if everyone in the world understood Wei Yanho, there was no way Wei Yanho could forgive himself.

Because Wi San-ho is that kind of person.

“Haaaaaah…….”

Wei Yanhu sighed and slowly sank into himself.

'I don't know, Master.'

Find yourself.

It's easy to say.

But it was too difficult for Wi Yeon-ho.

oneself.

What is self?

How many people live their lives fully aware of who they are?

I guess it has to be there.

The world calls those who have fully realized what they are and what they should do adults.

Wi Yeon-ho and Seong-in? Is there another combination in the world that is so incongruous?

'I'm just a lazy bum… … .'

That's fine.

Tsk.

“I don’t know, really.”

Wi Yeon-ho pulled the blanket over himself.

It is difficult and difficult.

Time passes. Even at this very moment, the Heavenly Demon is growing stronger. Will Wei Yanhu, who couldn't even face a fully formed Heavenly Demon, be able to face the now-intensified Heavenly Demon?

It's impossible right now.

That doesn't mean there's any other way. Physical training holds no real meaning for Wei Yanho at this point. It wasn't a problem that could be solved by becoming a little more sophisticated or a little stronger.

then?

So what should we do?

'Tell me, Master. What should I do?'

Baek Muhan is no more.

It was different from the past. Baek Muhan's inner energy had left a tremendous amount of energy in Wei Yanho's dantian, but it had lost its form. The profound insight Baek Muhan contained within the inner energy no longer remained.

Now Baek Mu-han cannot find Wei Yan-ho in any form.

It literally went back to nothing.

Now, Wei Yanho must do it all alone.

“You can do it. You are my disciple.”

"……really."

Wi Yeon-ho chuckled.

'Everyone says it's so easy to say.'

be heavy.

It's so heavy that I can't breathe.

Wi Yeon-ho grabbed the blanket and pulled it tightly over his face.

Not yet, not yet.

I can't leave this room yet.

Close your eyes.

Forget about time.

Forget yourself.

It sinks and sinks again.

If the path the Master spoke of is somewhere inside the Wei Yan Lake, then we must find it.

Maybe a fleeting moment.

Perhaps a time longer than an eternity.

Wei Yanho dug deep into himself, and dug deeper.

Until you know who you are.
