Absolute Regression Chapter 225

Episode 225: We have a special guest coming today.

The next morning, before leaving, I went to see the evil soma.

“What’s going on?”

“Only Soma and I can go to Cheonhwaru.”

The fact that the evil Soma had a personal relationship with the Thousand-Haired One was an extremely personal matter, so he thought it was a secret that had to be kept.

Then the evil Soma gave an unexpected answer.

“There’s no need to do that. Let’s all go together and proceed with the original plan.”

“You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. You can just have the military and the others cooperate from outside.”

“That’s not it.”

There was an unexpected reason for asking to go together.

“I would like to introduce you to Cheonhwaruju.”

Including the Poison King, the Western Dragon, the Go-wol, and the Pungcheon Sect Leader.

“Cheonhwaruju is a very ambitious person. But she has held back a lot of things she wanted to do because of me. Meeting and interacting with these people will be of great help to her.”

I could tell that the evil Soma truly cared for Cheonhwaruju. And I could also tell that he was looking at her with a heart that was bigger than just caring for her.

“And above all, these are people who believe in science and engineering. So it’s okay.”

I think that the decision of the evil soma is wise. There are times when it is good to keep it well hidden, and times when it is good to let it out into the world. In this case, it would be the latter. At least I thought that no one would harm Cheonhwaruju. We made that decision while looking at each other and smiling.

When I left the residence of the evil soma and went to the yard, I saw Go-wol preparing to leave while loading the carriage. For some reason, his face looked worried.

“Go, military. Don’t worry too much and just enjoy yourself. As a military man, you’ll have to make countless plans throughout your life, and it’s not often that you and I, Soma-sama, and the Poison King get to carry out those plans. So enjoy this situation.”

Go-wol bowed his head with a grateful expression. The leader of the Fengtian sect next to him did not forget to say a word of jealousy.

“I get the score with a hundred words, but I always get it with one word.”

“Trust the military. I will give one point to you and one hundred points to the leader.”

After comforting the hearts of my only soldier and the leader, I spoke loudly.

“Okay, let’s go!”

It was a lavishly decorated room.

The specially made bed was big enough for ten people to sleep on, and the furniture that filled this large room was expensive and precious, made by famous craftsmen. Not to mention the porcelain and paintings that decorated every corner, even the doorknobs were expensive enough to surprise people.

In this large and splendid room, a dozen women were kneeling. They were wearing thin clothes that showed their genitals, and they were all of different ages and beauty. However, their expressions were the same.

despair.

He was looking down at the floor with eyes filled with all the despair in the world.

And in the middle of the women sitting in a row on either side sat a young woman. Her hair was gray and her face was wrinkled, but her eyes were as passionate as those of a young man.

Yeobulgae was reading a book.

Not long after Ji-saeng died, this time there was news that Ae-cha had died.

A wrinkled hand clutched the scroll tightly, crumpled it, and threw it at the head of one of the women. The woman picked up the scroll that fell on her head and burned it in the lamp.

“What do you think about this?”

Hwang Yeom, sitting in front, answered his question politely.

“They didn’t show it on the outside, but they secretly looked down on us because we were doing business with women.”

In short, this is a roundabout way of saying that he died well. Hwang Yeom was Yeo Bulgae’s right-hand man and knew his master better than anyone else.

Indeed, Yeobulgae’s mind was no different from that.

The dead Ji-saeng and Ae-cha were nothing special, but they had strong pride and often ignored people. They had never seen anyone greet them first. So, what bothered them more than their deaths was this.

“What I’m saying is, did you come in from outside?”

“It is better to rule out that possibility.”

“why?”

“The investigation results clearly showed that he died due to internal conflict. The higher-ups must have been paying attention and investigating, but if we had the ability to fool them, would we be able to survive?”

The wrinkles on Yeobulgae’s forehead deepened further.

“Are you anxious?”

“Because the next target could be me.”

He didn’t know that the eyes of the women bowing their heads on either side contained a wish. Please, let him be next!

“Just in case, we will call in all the experts we can.”

The fool nodded. He usually made jokes like this.

Even the King of Hell won’t accept me. He says that Hell will become dirty.

But that was a joke he would make when he was sure he wouldn’t die. When he actually felt in danger, he reacted more sensitively to death than anyone else.

“Just in case… …contact the yin and yang ghosts as well.”

Hwang Yeom flinched at the mention of yin-yang ghosts, but soon answered obediently.

“All right.”

In the past, it would have been a matter of exchange. It costs too much money to move them, and if they were released into the world of martial arts, they could cause trouble. The higher-ups wouldn’t like it either. But now, it’s good that we can skip that process.

Now, Huang Yan knows himself so well that he feels like he has another body. Simply put, he can pick out the woman he has chosen from among dozens of women just by looking at her eyes.

“I’m not afraid of dying, but I haven’t achieved all my dreams yet.”

Yeo Bul-gae’s dream was to establish his own base in every part of the Central Plains.

Up until now, I have used every possible means to expand my base in the Central Plains. I have built my own bases and taken others’ bases.

In the process, all sorts of methods were used, from sending messengers to cause trouble, to spreading false rumors, to poisoning food to make guests sick, to even setting fire to the kitchen.

You might wonder if such an ignorant method would work, but it was surprisingly the most effective. By lowering their reputation, they could eliminate competing kiru or buy them at a low price. Whenever they saw the kiru owner commit suicide in the process, Yeo Bul-gae felt pleasure.

“You have to live tenaciously and achieve your dreams. Now, here is a new dream for you, Lady Rouge.”

Hwang Yeom handed over the documents. The documents contained information about Cheonhwaru. Since Cheonhwaru was the most famous fortress in Guizhou, where they were trying to advance, they decided to start from there.

The woman who was looking at the contents gave off a greedy look in her eyes.

“The estimated profits are enormous.”

“It’s where we make more money than anywhere else in the Central Plains.”

“Are the courtesans beautiful?”

“That’s true, and it is known that Cheonhwaruju is very skilled.”

“You said Cheonhwaruju was a woman?”

“That’s right. She treats the gisaengs well, and she treats the guests well. Even the warriors she serves respect her.”

“Even so, she’s just a worthless bitch.”

It was his natural nature to ignore women. He despised and hated them so much that Huang Yan guessed that Yu Bu Gae had been cruelly abused by his mother or some other woman when he was young. Clearly, his pathological lust was not born of love but of hatred.

“How about beauty?”

“I heard it’s quite beautiful.”

The yeobulgae opened his eyes lazily and revealed his lust. His gaze turned to the women. All of these women were once the Rouges of Giru. They were known to the world to be missing or dead.

Women who suddenly handed over their belongings to Yeobulgae and ran away somewhere. Women who were never found no matter how hard their families and friends searched for them.

Yeobulgae was collecting the most beautiful women among the Lujus he had taken from the Giru. It was truly an outrageous act, but this fact was not known to the outside world, and even if someone had known, they would not have dared to deal with Yeobulgae.

“Now the balance is right.”

There were nine women in total, which meant that when Cheonhwaruju came, there would be ten.

Hwang Yeom nodded with an expression that said not to worry. It was a signal that he would let Cheonhwaruju into Yeobulgae’s bedroom when the work was finished.

“The black and white double swords have already gone.”

The Black and White Ssangdo were not well known figures in the martial arts world as the subordinates of Yeobulgae. They were skilled in martial arts, but they were raised from a young age to be ruthless swordsmen who only followed orders, so they were people without human emotions.

In this case of Cheonhwaru, since clumsy tricks wouldn’t work, we immediately deployed the Black and White Double Swords.

The plan is to kidnap Rouge directly and force her to sign the contract. These nine women here are among those who have been subjected to this method.

“Tell him to bring her here safely without touching a single fingertip!”

It was always the old, perverted man’s worry.

* * *

“We have an important guest coming today.”

Cheonhwaruju’s journey began with cleaning her own quarters and inner chambers from the morning. She put more care into her makeup and dressing than usual.

The servants and attendants moved around diligently.

They had experienced every time that if Cheonhwaruju had a special guest, he would definitely have a guest that day. At first, they thought they would know because they had received a message that he was coming, but after they learned that there were many guests who came unexpectedly, they all knew that Cheonhwaruju was a special person.

But today, even she seemed wrong.

The people who entered my room were not welcome guests, but uninvited guests.

A pair of black-and-white swordsmen wearing white and black robes rushed in.

Cheonhwaruju ordered her servants and maids to go inside, and at the same time, the warriors guarding her appeared.

Although there were many of them, the Black and White Twins were not afraid at all. Rather, the momentum of the two overwhelmed the whole group, and the expressions of the Cheonhwaru warriors became tense.

Cheonhwaruju asked calmly.

“Where are you from?”

Then, the black-clad Heukdo of the black and white pair spoke to her.

“Our master wants to see you. Let’s go.”

It was a cold and blunt tone, devoid of any emotion. In some ways, it sounded like a child, or like a stone statue speaking.

“Who is your master?”

“You’ll know when you go.”

“I’m sorry, but we have an important guest coming today, so we’ll have to postpone it until next time.”

Of course, this was a statement that didn’t make sense to the black and white pair.

“There is no one more precious than our master.”

With those words, two people strode forward. Four of the eight warriors of Cheonhwaru who had been blocking her flew forward at the same time. The remaining four surrounded Cheonhwaruju.

The sword and the sword clashed quickly.

Although they were the masters who had been guarding Cheonhwaru until now, the skills of the Black and White Swords were superior to theirs.

Of the four people who ran out, unable to hold out for even a dozen moves, two fell with long cuts on their arms and waists.

At the very moment when the Black and White Twin Swords were about to raise their swords to end their lives, Cheonhwaruju flew forward to block their path.

“If I’m going to kill these people, I’m going to have to kill myself.”

The Black and White Twin Swordsmen withdrew their swords because their mission was to take her away.

She stopped the bleeding by pressing on the acupuncture points of the injured people.

“Treat yourself and wait, I’ll be back.”

“No, Your Majesty!”

Other drones tried to step forward and block it, but Cheonhwaruju firmly stopped them.

“Everyone stop!”

At her command, the unmanned units stopped moving. Everyone knew that if they continued to fight like this, they would all die. Since the creation of Cheonhwaru, this was the first time such a master had invaded.

“If you lose your lives here in vain, I will be resentful for the rest of my life and will not be able to live properly. Please step back and guard the base. An honored guest will be arriving today, so you can tell him about this.”

She forcibly pushed away the unmanned men and approached the black and white pair of swords. She showed no fear at all.

At her appearance, the black and white pair looked at each other and tilted their heads. They had kidnapped many women before, but they had never seen such a calm woman.

Cheonhwaruju stared at the two people.

“I am good at seeing people’s futures. But the future of you two is pitch-black and I can’t see it very well.”

The black and white pair smiled coldly and walked towards her with brisk strides.

It was at that moment that Heukdo reached out to subdue her demonic blood.

A gust of wind flew in as fast as light.

Phew! Phew!

The attack that flew in pierced the back of Black’s hand, creating a hole in his hand.

The moment when the black sword tried to stop the bleeding with a short scream.

Phew! Phew!

This time, the elbow of the other arm he was trying to stop the bleeding was pierced.

“Ugh!”

The moment when Heukdo instinctively crouched down.

Pfft! Pfft!

This time it pierced my shoulder. It flew in so fast that I couldn’t dodge it.

The moment I turned my body towards where the gusts of wind had come from, more gusts of wind blew in continuously.

His stomach, waist, and knees were pierced one after another. The wind that poured down like rain completely tore his body apart.

“Eww!”

Heukdo let out a desperate scream, as if he had been holding back his entire life.

Phew! Phew!

Finally, his forehead was pierced and he fell to the ground.

Because the winds blew so quickly and continuously, everyone could only see him die. Even Baekdo could only watch Heukdo die in this unimaginable situation.

Now everyone’s eyes turned to the place where the wind had blown. A bright smile appeared on Cheonhwaruju’s lips.

A very evil Soma wearing a white mask was walking towards them with slow steps.
