Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 215

215
‘Ugh… Is this what it feels like to be electrocuted by a strong electric current?’

When I opened my eyes, the familiar ceiling I saw was the ceiling of the room assigned to me by the Kunlun Sect.

Thinking back, the last memory that remains in my head is of hugging Cho.

It seems that he passed out from the residual current left over from hugging the candle.

‘Did Seol and Hwa-eun move it?’

-Thud thud.

-Whoosh.

It was already bright outside, and judging by the sound of rain continuing outside, it was clear that it was daylight.

When I turned my head, what came into view were the sparkling emerald eyes of the goddess.

The cicada trembled its antennae next to me as if it was worried, but when it met my open eyes, it stood upright as if it was surprised.

-Tsuru! “Dad!”

Then the sound of the bell ringing.

The cries of the guy called Dad rang in my head.

As if to let those around me know that I had opened my eyes, the first thing I did was to let them hear the sound of the crow. Immediately, other people’s voices could be heard.

A voice more familiar than the ceiling of Kunlun.

It was Seol Nui and Hwa Eun.

“Ryong-ah! Are you okay? Are you awake!? Do you remember when you fainted?”

“The thunderbolt passed through you. Are you okay, Little Dragon?”

I felt a little numb, so I moved my fingers a few times and made a fist, and the feeling slowly returned.

I closed my eyes once and opened them again to answer their questions.

“It seems okay.”

Then the two exhaled deeply.

Perhaps he was worried again, thinking that I was seriously injured.

“There’s nothing strange about it?”

“Yes. I’m a little dazed, but I’m getting better.”

“The Elder of Kunlun said that no one was seriously injured, but that the energy of thunder is not well known, so we must be careful.”

Perhaps the elder of the Kunlun Medicine Hall had visited while I was down, and I wondered what he had said when he saw me collapse again after fixing me up.

‘I might have cursed inside.’

The two’s worries continue as they think that he might have cursed inside.

“That’s right, Little Dragon. If there’s anything even a little strange, you have to tell me.”

“Is there anything strange?”

The two of them seemed very worried, but since I knew more about electricity than the elders of Kunlun, there was no need to worry too much.

Being shocked by electricity can cause abnormal heartbeats or nerve problems, but it doesn’t seem to be shocking enough to cause such aftereffects.

There were no signs of burns from the lightning, and as time went by as we talked, my senses were slowly returning to normal.

“It doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong, so I don’t think you need to worry.”

-Tsuru. “Dad, I was wrong…”

That was when.

Suddenly, a girl buried her face in my chest and said she was sorry.

It was definitely wrong of me to disobey my father and come down late, but it wasn’t Cho’s fault that I got hurt.

That’s just an accident.

“It’s okay, Choya. It’s not your fault. It was just something unexpected or unjust.”

He continued, patting the boy’s head.

“By the way, did Cho get hurt?”

-Tch! “Yes!”

I asked if he was injured anywhere by the lightning strike, but the first response was that he was not injured.

It didn’t look like there were any injuries to me.

There was not a single scratch on the shell made of chitin, and the sparkling emerald color was as beautiful as yesterday.

‘Yeah, it can’t be the same as the settings in comics or games. If you think about it, water has electrolytes, so it’s friendly with electricity.’

Honestly, when the first house was struck by lightning, I thought there was no hope.

The original attribute that bloomed with the first flower was the attribute that was weakest to the lightning attribute.

It’s not absolute, but in fantasy, game, and comic settings, it’s usually depicted that way in battles for superiority between attributes.

Fire is weak to water, and water is weak to lightning, but it was clear that the water attribute bloom of the grass also provided immunity to lightning.

The fact that water-attribute entities are weak to lightning is a common setting, but even though they were hit by lightning, Cho was completely fine.

‘Huh? By any chance!? Double!?’

As I was looking at the grass carefully, a thought occurred to me and I quickly asked the grass.

With a sense of anticipation, just in case.

If he was that healthy, I wondered if his brain power had also developed into a double attribute.

“Choya, do you feel lightning coming out of your antenna or lightning energy emanating from your body? No, do you feel anything else strange or anything like that?”

-Tsurut?

“The grass spews out lightning!?”

“That’s really great! Hey, hey, try it!”

At my words, Hwa-eun and Seol opened their eyes wide and looked at the candle with expressions of anticipation.

Then, just like when you breathed life into it, you crouch down and try to use your strength.

-Tsrrrr! Tsrr!

The guy took a deep breath and tried to do something, but even though he was shaking his antennae, nothing happened.

-Churut? “It won’t work?”

Cho, who finally tilted his head while looking at me.

The sight was very adorable and cute.

“Hmm. No?”

‘Oh, this is a bit disappointing?’

I was expecting it to be a double attribute of lightning and water, but it didn’t seem to be that.

Because it didn’t seem like he could create lightning skills or shoot lightning or anything.

But where is the point of just blooming lightning resistance in water attribute?

Because if you have lightning resistance, you can fly freely even on rainy days like before.

Thinking that this was enough, I gave up my greed and asked the priest.

“Yeah, Choya. Was it fun flying in the rainy night sky?”

Putting aside all that water-related stuff.

If our family had good memories of our first flight in the rain, that would be good enough.

Then, Cho answered my question with a happy heart and warmed my heart.

-Tch! Churut! 『Yes, a lot.』

‘Okay, then it’s fine.’

***

As I was patting Binnie’s head, who was happily sending me messages saying that it was nice to fly in the rainy night sky, a red light stick suddenly appeared from the side.

A fiery feeling of anger surged through me, along with the red hair of Hyang-i that contained the meaning of warning.

-Tsuru! Tsurutsuru! 『Dad, don’t you have something to talk about with me?』

“Eek!”

I was delighted with the blooming of the first flower, but when I came to my senses, Hyang-i’s wrath was waiting for me.

Hyang-i noticed that I had first activated my special move on Cho and Bin-i because I had fallen.

That’s because I heard Hwa-eun and Seol-nu telling the elders of Kunlun about the reason for my injury.

-Tsrrrr!

It hadn’t been long since the promise, but Hyang-i kept reprimanding him for breaking his promise again, and he even got hurt, so Hyang-i’s anger didn’t subside easily.

Since Hyang-i hadn’t evolved for very long, we waited a bit to see what kind of impact it would have, and then we all did it together, but the two of us did it first.

In the end, I became a debt collector again.

I decided to add one hundred more wishes.

‘I don’t think there will be any interest, right?’

And the mental training continued from the next day.

The training progressed very efficiently because of the passive ability that was blooming.

For Cho, it was possible to push energy in once a day without much change.

I already unlocked the passive, so I was wondering if it would work again, but if you put energy into it, it will become more energetic?

It was just as I was about to lie down after finishing today’s tough mental training.

A voice coming from outside.

“So So-hyeop, this is Tae-heo.”

Tae-Heo’s voice was heard from outside.

‘Ah···. I can’t rest as I please.’

They say that every day you go is a market day, so why are there so many customers today of all days?

As Gyu-seong and Ji-ryong had been there earlier, I tried to get up, struggling, but Hwa-eun made a worried expression and spoke to the outside.

“Taeheo Daehyeop, Xiaolong is feeling unwell right now. Is it by any chance important?”

Then, after a moment of hesitation, an awkward voice followed.

“Oh, I brought a long-suffering man with me, but is So So-hyeop really that uncomfortable?”

“yes!?”

It is said that while living in Kunlun, a long-time Kunlun official whom he had not seen since the first time he greeted me came to visit him.

Hwa-eun, who was more flustered than Tae-heo at Tae-heo’s answer, looked at me and waved her hand telling me to get up quickly before answering toward the door.

“Then come in. We can have a chat.”

The master of Kunlun has come, so I can’t treat him coldly.

As I, following Hwa-eun’s urging, jumped up from my seat and prepared to greet the guests, the door opened and a middle-aged man entered the room along with Tae-heo.

A man in his late forties with a rather unique appearance, with a contrast of white hair and black beard.

It was Jiheon, the Kunlun Twin Swordsman, the long sword of Kunlun.

“How have you been? So So-hyeop?”

He was quite an awesome person who could perform the Kunlun seasonal Yang sword technique alone with dual swords.

‘Twin swords? That’s totally cool.’

“It’s been a while, Jang Moon-in. How is the shabby place? No, it’s not that Kunlun is shabby···.”

Now that I think about it, it’s not even my house, but I said it was shabby.

As I was trying to regain my composure, the Kunlun elder smiled and said.

“Haha, I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s okay. By the way, I heard you’re feeling better, so how are you acting?”

“Ah, while practicing, I was a bit···”

“It hasn’t been long since I got better, so I need to be careful.”

“I’m sorry. Thank you for taking the time to look into it…”

I used magic to fix it, but then someone got electrocuted and was brought in, and then I fixed it again and someone collapsed again?

The elder brother of Kunlun smiled and quickly apologized, saying that there had never been such a nuisance as this one.

“No. Well, when you’re young, it’s hard to sit still for even a moment. Haha.”

Last time, I was nervous because I just said hello, but it seems like he’s not that stiff.

As I smiled awkwardly, the Kunlun elder stopped laughing and spoke with a very serious expression this time.

“I have come to tell you that I am ashamed to have caused a guest to suffer such an unpleasant experience in front of our Kunlun Gujinmun.

I’m sorry that you, Kunlun, have had to go through such an unpleasant experience, even though you were the one who helped me solve the problem that had been bothering me for months.

“I apologize a little late because I was busy cleaning up after that guy.”

And he politely offered me a prize.

A somewhat embarrassing situation due to the sudden apology.

“Uh, that, that···.”

To be honest, this incident was not the fault of the Kunlun faction, but rather, to be clear, it was the fault of our Tang family and the Beast Palace, so it can be said that Kunlun is not responsible.

When I made an embarrassed expression, Hwa-eun quickly sent a message to explain.

[It is an unwritten rule in martial arts to be responsible for the safety of guests. Soryong.]

‘Oh, is that so?’

After all, there’s nothing more embarrassing or embarrassing than a guest getting hurt in your own home.

Since I was tired, I decided to express my gratitude appropriately.

“No. I wasn’t hurt, and I survived thanks to the quick arrival of Kunlun’s disciples.”

Well, the fragrance took care of everything, but what’s good is what’s good.

Then, the Kunlun elder nodded with a kind smile and took something out of his bosom and held it out to me.

“Thank you for telling me that. Oh, and this is why I came here.”

What he held out was a wooden box the size of a fist.

I looked at the basket he held out toward me, but it was one I had never seen before.

‘Are you trying to give me an apple as a gift?’

He asked, tilting his head slightly.

There is no need to go as far as giving an apple as a gift.

“What is this?”

“Oh, open it. We prepared the box. The contents inside are what I told you about last time.”

“?”

I opened the box while thinking carefully about what he had told me, and what was revealed inside was, just as he had said, something I knew.

The scent also sent an alarm to the thing.

-Tsrrrr! 『Bad vibes!』

Yes, what the Kunlun elder took out was the artificial inner dan of the Five Poison Gate that had been caught by Feng Xue.

‘Why is this here?’
