Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 326

326
Bright light was streaming in through the gaps in his closed eyes.

Judging by the strong light, it feels like it’s around noon.

I fell asleep at dawn, so I must have slept for three or four hours, so I decided to get up now.

Six to eight hours of sleep is enough.

‘Ah, I slept well.’

I opened my eyes, my body squirming, and there was no one around me.

Everyone woke up earlier than me and I was alone in bed.

But as I moved my body, the sweet scent of Hwa-eun left on the bed rose up and became thick.

At that moment, just before falling asleep in the middle of the night, Hwa-eun’s eyes came to mind and my body flinched.

Because the look in Hwa-eun’s eyes right before she fell asleep was a look of resentment that I had never seen before.

I was worried about what would happen if I woke up and faced Hwa-eun, but I guess that’s a relief?

I straightened my clothes, got out of bed, and headed outside.

“Ah, Little Dragon.”

“Sister Seol, did you sleep well?”

“Yeah. I woke up a little while ago too.”

When I opened the door, there were children gathered in the yard, talking about something, and Seol looked like she was going out.

Sister Seol usually wears the light short skirt and hat worn by ethnic minorities, but she is currently wearing the clothes of a Central Plains person.

Since the Central Plains people often glance at the short skirts worn by ethnic minorities, when going out, they would wear the clothes of the Central Plains people, so if they looked like that, it meant that they were ready to go out.

“But where are you going?”

“I have to go to the government office and have them arrest the Blood Cult members. I’m going to go with Hwa-eun. I also have to interrogate the Blood Cult members I caught before.”

“iced coffee.”

I wondered why he was getting ready to go out, and it seemed like he was going to hand over the blood cult guys that Orange had planted yesterday to the coffin.

When I nod my head at my older sister’s words, my older sister Seol quietly comes over and whispers in my ear.

[So-ryong, but your sister prepared the bed for you, but yesterday Hwa-eun just let you sleep. The woman was so brave. Are you stupid? My sister was stupid···]

[No, that’s the situation···.]

[Hwa-eun is very angry right now.]

‘Is that so?’

It seemed like Hwa-eun was really angry because of what happened last night.

I had so much courage, but that’s how things ended up.

But it was extremely unfair.

I was looking forward to it too, but it was all because of the kids.

[I don’t know how much of the story Sister Seol heard, but, that was the case. It wasn’t my intention… The kids suddenly barged in at a critical moment… The two of them asked what I was doing in bed, so I had to have something to say.

Hwa-eun made an excuse that she couldn’t sleep because she was scared after being attacked, so I stayed by her side, but then the kids said that we should all sleep together.

So we all slept together in bed···.]

[what?]

After hearing everything I said, Sister Seol started giggling and eventually couldn’t hold back her laughter and burst out laughing.

This is a tragedy for us, but it might be funny to others.

“Puhahaha. So that’s how it happened?”

“yes···.”

“I also thought my brother was the world’s biggest idiot, you know? He knows nothing but poison. A poisonous idiot.”

“You fool···”

That was when.

Hwa-eun’s voice heard while talking to Seol-nu.

“Everyone, eat.”

It seemed like a late breakfast/lunch was being served, and as we approached the pavilion, there were warm dumplings served there.

“Oh, that looks delicious.”

Hwa-eun, who was acting cute and trying to get my attention, didn’t even look at me.

As Sister Seol said, it seemed like she was really angry at me.

Or if you are extremely upset.

I could have said something different to the kids, but I ended up making a bad excuse.

At least, couldn’t you have told him to go first since you and your mom were having a brief conversation(?)?

‘Ha, why didn’t I think of that then?’

If you’re talking about quick reflexes, why did you make such a stupid excuse at that moment?

As we sat around the pavilion, lamenting Soryong’s behavior at dawn, Hwaeun distributed some dumplings.

“Eat plenty, everyone.”

“Oh my, it looks delicious. I’ll enjoy it. Hwa-eun.”

Hwa-eun only looked at Seol-nu despite my question.

The meal began without Hwa-eun’s answer.

‘It’s a warm dumpling, but it’s cold.’

“The meat dumplings are delicious, Hwa-eun. I think they taste even better because there’s a lot of meat in them.”

“Eat plenty, Sister.”

“Is it okay for our Hwa-eun to get married now?”

“Sister too···.”

While Seol Noo-ni was talking to Hwa-eun with a bright expression, trying to help her and cheer her up, I felt something strange while listening to Seol Noo-ni’s story.

‘Huh? Meat dumplings?’

What was strange was that there was no meat in my dumplings.

In China, even wheat bread with nothing inside is called a dumpling, but my dumpling was a dumpling with nothing inside.

Hwa-eun and Seol-nu glanced at the dumplings they were eating and confirmed that they were all filled with meat.

I felt like I needed to appease Hwa-eun’s anger.

You keep sending angry messages, so you need to let it go.

After thinking for a while about how to solve the problem, I remembered what I had learned from my grandfather and decided to send a message.

Until now, I was unable to send a message due to lack of experience, but now I have also achieved Samhwachwijeong.

He had reached a level where he could both shoot long-range blasts and send out telegrams.

He pretended to eat a dumpling, covered his mouth with the dumpling, and sent a message to Hwa-eun.

I could have spoken in my mind, but I thought it would be more effective if I conveyed the message with the first note.

[Hwa-eun, can you hear me? This is my first sound.]

Hwa-eun winces as she chews the dumplings.

He continued speaking with a calm expression, pretending to eat dumplings.

[I’m sorry about last night, Hwa-eun. That was the only excuse I could think of… I didn’t know things would turn out like that.

But I know how Hwa-eun feels. Next time, I’ll put the kids to sleep well and go see Hwa-eun. So, even if you’re upset or angry, try to calm down.]

As I glanced at Hwa-eun’s expression, Hwa-eun also covered her face with a dumpling.

Because Hwa-eun’s face was so small, most of it was covered by the large dumpling, but it was possible to see that Hwa-eun’s face, revealed next to the dumpling, was flushed red.

Maybe it’s a feeling of relief.

As if to confirm my thoughts, after a while, Hwa-eun took a sip of water and secretly replaced the flour dumplings in my bowl with her meat dumplings.

‘After all, meat is love.’

As expected, meat was love.

***

When Saebyeok Ju-Hwang arrived at the place where he had planted the warriors of the Blood Cult, the sight of the warriors planted neatly in a row caught his eye.

Wow, they are planted very neatly in a row, aligning the rows.

Nineteen were captured, three were already dead, and the rest were paralyzed with fear.

That would be the case, since the snakes of the blue sky were threatening to bite you right next to them if you made a sound.

-Shh. Shh.

It feels like the snakes full of venom are carrying out Cheongyu’s orders well.

“Cheongyu, can you calm the snake down and move it aside?”

-Sia.

As soon as the snake was removed, the warriors’ shouts poured out.

“Please, save me!”

“Please save me!”

The voice of Hwa-eun is heard as the people’s cries continue.

“Huh? What about the interest!?”

When Hwa-eun checked where she was looking, there was the woman that Yo-hwa had caught last, with only her head sticking out.

I didn’t notice it because it was night last night and I couldn’t see very well, but it was a familiar face.

It was the exact same face as the woman who was the leader of the Blood Yin Corps that I caught last time, Nan-hwa.

Clearly, I saw that woman being carried away like an idiot and heard that she was being executed, so there’s no way she could have survived.

If that’s the case, then you’re saying it’s someone else…

“Are they twins?”

When I asked if they were twins, Hwa-eun clung to me and shouted.

It was as if he was relying on me because my apology earlier was great.

“Little Dragon, this woman was like the leader of the Blood Cult!”

“Is this the woman?”

“Yes, I was commanding these warriors!”

The woman had her eyes closed, but she turned her head at Hwa-eun’s words.

Perhaps because this woman felt like the master of the house, as Hwa-eun had said, she asked the other warriors around her who had asked her to spare her life.

“Is this woman really the leader of the Blood Cult?”

Then the warriors kept their mouths shut.

“We came to find out why these guys attacked and such, but since none of us are torture technicians, Seol said with a slightly worried expression.

“I guess it’s true? But how can I get him to open his mouth?”

He put his arms on Seol Nui and Hwa Eun’s shoulders and asked with a sinister smile.

“Sister Seol, Hwa-eun, do you know what the most terrifying torture is?”

“Terror-inducing torture?”

“Torture that causes you to tremble in fear?”

The two tilted their heads at my question.

It seemed as if they were wondering what would make people tremble in fear, but soon the two answered.

“Isn’t this torture that damages the body? Because it can’t be undone.”

“I’m starving. I heard that starving is the most painful thing.”

Although opinions differ, among the tortures passed down from ancient times, there was one that was the most terrifying.

I closed my eyes slightly and called in the friends I had met the night before.

“Everyone, come here for a moment.”

-Tsrrrrrr.

As I asked, a large number of foxes that had been hiding nearby gathered, and I could hear the sound of foxes moving.

At that sound, the eyes of the woman who appeared to be the warrior and lord of the Blood Cult were filled with fear.

“What, what is this!?”

“Oh, Goku!?”

As if at dawn, the Wukongs gathered around me.

He asked with a smile.

“Question here. Why are these guys here?”

“Um… Are you trying to make me ask?”

“But even though Little Dragon Wukong’s poison is painful, if you get bitten too many times you’ll die, so isn’t that not a good idea for torture?”

Seol Noona and Hwa Eun seemed to think that I would order the Wukongs to bite people, but that was not the case.

Because the most terrifying torture handed down from ancient times wasn’t like that.

He spoke to the Blood Cult guys with a smiling face.

“Goku hates brightness. That’s why he tries to stay in dark places as much as possible. But what if these friends gathered here tell him to go to a dark place?”

〈Would you move near people’s mouths, noses, and ears?〉

-Tsrrrr.

-Square. Square.

The guys who start crawling into people’s heads with my words.

The Blood Cult warriors’ eyes widened at my words and the guys’ movements.

And Hwa-eun and Seol-nu also clung to my body, shivering.

The next scene seemed too creepy.

Because people have a pretty high level of fear of bugs.

“Eek. Little Dragon, this is so horrible.”

“So, So-ryong. Ji, are you really going to do it?”

“I cannot forgive you for putting Hwa-eun in danger.”

As soon as the foxes jumped out and clung to the human’s head, the Blood Cultists started shouting like crazy.

“Oh, I’ll tell you! That’s right. That b*tch is the real deal!”

“S-save me! Kkaaaak!”

***

“Tongue, I am the Great Lord of the Blood Cult Blood Yin Alliance. Sob sob… I surrendered to the Five Poisons and received the Yin-Yang Double Penetration, and this time I received the order to deal with the Wei Xiaolong. No, Xiaolongnim, so I arrived here. Ugh. Please….”

Nan-hwa, the great master of the Blood Sound Band, continues to speak while sobbing with a raccoon stuck in his nose.

As expected, insect torture was extremely effective.

Most people would get scared just by having the raccoons latch onto their faces and vomit out all the information they knew, and even those who were holding out would immediately vomit out what they knew as soon as the raccoons tried to crawl into their ears or nostrils.

How many people can endure this?

There is probably no one else in this central plains except me.

“Yeah, why did you try to kill me?”

“You said you had to stop Little Dragon before he got on the Odok….”

“Is that why?”

I heard a story from Lady Cheongyu last night.

When Hwa-eun said that the Blood Cult bastards seemed to have come to capture me, Lady Cheong-yu said that it was probably a trick to stop the great success of my O-dok-gwi-dok-shin-gong.

“So you’re saying that it’s not Hwa-eun but me that’s the target?”

-See. Yes, Little Dragon.’

‘Why?’

-Sia. (Probably because the little dragon will gather all five poisons of the Five Poisons of the Heavenly Sword into a spirit.)

‘Is that the reason?’

-Shii. (I told you that the Odokguiwonsingong was a failed martial art, right?)

‘Right?’

-Sia. (That’s why the Odokbokjamdaebeop was created. It’s the thing that was stuck in my head. It has two functions.

One is to simply take away the easy and make them follow orders, and the other is to create internal tension, as even the little dragon knows. You can do both like me, but that would be too much of a burden, so I usually only do one of the two.

Oh, the military horse you sent to the Beast Palace didn’t have any internal organs, right? That’s because you only had to follow orders.)

‘Oh, but how does that relate?’

-Shii. (Even if you open the gate, spirits and poisonous creatures think of the little dragon as a friend and will grant your request, but they won’t risk their lives. So you can refuse your request.

(Those who have filled all of the O-Dok-Gwi-Won-Sing-Gong with spirits and opened the corresponding poison gate can issue an order to the poison that uses the O-Dok-Bok-Ja-Dae-Beop, even to death.)

So, the Odok Gwiwon Shingong is like a broadcasting station, and the Odok Bokjamdaebeop is like an antenna.

He said that he wanted to kill me because if I filled all the Odokguiwonsingong with spirits and achieved great success, he could take away control of the artificial poisons that Odokmun created.

It is limited to snakes, scorpions, toads, civets, and lizards, but those five make up the majority of the poisonous creatures in the Central Plains.

Now, the story was that the Odokmun could only create artificial spirits out of poisons other than the five poisons.

“It’s just as Lady Cheongyu predicted yesterday.”

“yes.”

“If Xiaolong finds out that Odok has arrived, he might send more assassins, so it would be best to return to Tangga quickly.”

Hwa-eun said it would be better to go back quickly, but I thought differently.

How long are you going to take this?

Now that I’ve reached a certain level and have children and someone like Jeokwol, I thought I should take the initiative.

Isn’t offense the best defense?

“No. Let’s hit first.”
