Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 358

358
– See? “This is clearly growth, right? Right?”

“I think so.”

-Sia. “Is today the end? Or will I be able to wake up tomorrow? I really wish I could wake up tomorrow! No, every night. I really wish I could wake up every night!”

‘Was the character originally like this?’

Lady Cheongyu was in a very excited mood.

Before waking up from the brainwashing of the Odokmun, it had a slightly mysterious, dangerous, and quiet feel, and after that, it brightened up, but it was still relatively quiet, but now it has a rather lively and excited atmosphere.

Lady Cheongyu’s words poured out before I even had a chance to respond.

-Sia. Sia. 『I never imagined that growth would be like this. I thought it would be like the poison becoming stronger, or the body becoming stronger, or the ability to fly, or something like that, but it can come out even on nights that aren’t full moons. If I do this, I can become closer to Lady Hwa-eun······.』

Lady Cheongyu was in a very good mood and kept telling me something, but I felt a little sad.

How great would it be if, as Lady Cheongyu said, my body became stronger, I could fly, or my venom became stronger?

It would have been great if the poison, which is the root of the poison, had become stronger, but it was a little disappointing that it didn’t.

Still, I thought that if Lady Cheongyu was happy, that would be the best growth, and if Lady Cheongyu came out every night, I wouldn’t have to wait for two weeks to ask her something, so I thought that was good.

Questions about martial arts or the O-Dok-Moon often came up, but I had to wait for two weeks to ask them each time.

I don’t know what King Geumgwansa Cheongyu will think.

‘Well, Cheong-yu is gentle, so he won’t mind much, right?’

-Sii. Sia. “What should I do today… I suddenly woke up and I’m confused about what to do. What should I do?”

As Lady Cheongyu’s monologue continued, she washed her face and sat down at the table to wake up, and something covered with a cloth, a water bottle, and a water glass caught her eye.

Let’s take a quick look at the cloth, and inside are cold dumplings.

Judging from the fact that the word “silver” was embroidered on the corner of the cloth, it seemed like Hwa-eun had brought it for me.

It was probably obvious that if you wake up at night and are hungry, you should eat.

‘Thank you.’

Feeling grateful, I drank some water first and took a bite of the cold dumplings prepared on the table.

At that moment, I could hear Lady Cheongyu’s question continuing to linger.

-Shii? “Oh, I’m so excited. Today could be the end. Soryong, I can wake up tomorrow, right? Tonight isn’t the end, right?”

At that question, he quickly swallowed the dumpling he was chewing and asked Lady Cheongyu back.

“Do you feel anything? A feeling? Something you haven’t felt before?”

-Poem···. 『Um···. I don’t think there’s anything like that.』

As you know, the origin of the Odok Gwiwon Shingong, the Beast Heart Gong, has awakened the passive skill and Bin-i the active skill.

The first time you breathe life into Cho, he gains the ability to open up his blood vessels, and when you breathe life into Bin, he can grow larger for a while.

About the size of your real mother.

So, if the skill that Soju Cheongyu obtained was a passive skill like Cho, then she would wake up tomorrow as Soju Cheongyu said, but if not, then she wouldn’t wake up tomorrow.

If it’s passive, the acquired ability will continue, but if it’s active, I’ll have to breathe life into it again.

“Considering Chona Bin’s case, if she wakes up tomorrow, she might wake up every night from now on. If tonight is all there is, I think it’s okay to think that if I give her energy, she’ll wake up one more day.”

At my words, Lady Cheongyu put her hands together and spoke with an earnest expression.

-Shiu···. 『I wish it could be every day···.』

From what I’ve heard and what he’s done, it seems like he’s not very good at spending time in the dark.

I asked cautiously.

“I guess you’ve been feeling a bit suffocated lately?”

Then, Lady Cheongyu nodded her head with her lips tightly shut.

-Siiaaaa. Sii. 『Because I’m always staring outside, feeling frustrated, alone inside Cheongyu. Cheongyu doesn’t always show me what I want to see, and even if I want to tell her something, I have to wait. Last time, I saw the Blood Cult guys around, but I couldn’t tell them, so I just made her suffer···.』

“iced coffee···.”

If that was the reason, it would definitely be frustrating.

How frustrating would it be to be in a dark room with enemies right in front of you and want to warn them?

If I were in that same situation, I would have gone crazy with a broken heart.

‘That’s definitely a bit much.’

If that’s the case, I said with a smile that I could help even if it wasn’t necessarily passive.

I know it’s a little hard for me, but I’ll just have to cheer myself up every day.

No, not every day, but maybe once every two days I could give myself a boost.

It took about half an hour to invigorate him, so he only had to invigorate him once every two days before going to bed.

“Then, if I need to cheer you up, I’ll cheer you up as often as I can so you can come out more often.”

-Shii? “Really?”

The eyes of Lady Cheongyu widened at my words.

He had an expression of disbelief, but he smiled and nodded.

“Of course. I also had to wait for two weeks when I really needed to ask questions, so it was frustrating. It would be nice if you could look at my martial arts more often. Like my master.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Lady Cheongyu grabbed my hand tightly.

It seemed that the word ‘master’ made her very happy.

-Shiia! 『Thank you! So So-hyeop. Thank you. And Master! Yes! I will be So So-hyeop’s master!』

***

Meeting with Lady Cheongyu for two consecutive days.

Except for yesterday, we always had a question-and-answer session that had been piling up for two weeks, so we didn’t have much time.

Yesterday, I was so busy playing with the kids that I didn’t have time to talk to Lady Cheongyu.

However, as the conversation continued for two days in a row, they had some free time and were able to talk about various things, but in the middle of the conversation, Lady Cheongyu changed the topic to martial arts.

Today, Lady Cheong-yu was so excited that I didn’t want to talk about martial arts, but she was so happy to be asked to be my master that she became very motivated.

-Sia! “Then I’ll show you your martial arts skills before dawn.”

“Is it okay?”

-Shi! “Of course! It’s natural for a master to watch over his disciple’s martial arts.”

“What should I ask you this time?”

However, apart from my desire to work with Young Lady Cheongyu, I had to learn from my grandfather, who had not yet learned the art of fast-moving legs and tails, and for the rest, there was no part that I was particularly stuck on or had any advice on.

So, when I was wondering what to ask, I heard Lady Cheongyu’s voice.

-Shi. “Ah, I should tell you that. It’s not finished yet, but I’ll keep in mind what Soryong said last time.

As the bear was chewing, I had an idea.

When I’m alone, that’s all I can think about.

“What did I say?”

‘What did I say?’

As I was thinking carefully about what I had said last time, Lady Cheongyu explained.

-Sia. 『Yes, the second half of the Poisonous Snake’s Greedy Hand. You said it wasn’t going well.』

“Oh, but didn’t you say that there must be a special secret that is only given to the Black Death of the Odokmun?”

I certainly did say that.

The second half of the Poisonous Snake Detective’s third attempt is not very good.

It was because it didn’t feel like a full-scale attack, but it turned out that it was just shooting a secret weapon.

However, the story ended that the secret would have to be stolen from the Odokmun and copied by the Tang family in order to be used.

When I tilted my head, Lady Cheongyu smiled and said.

-Shii. “I thought of an alternative.”

“alternative plan?”

-Shii. “Just a moment.”

Lady Cheongyu tells me to wait a moment and walks towards the window.

Lady Cheongyu walked to the window, looked outside, then looked around the room again.

Then he found a stick that had been placed in the corner and approached the window again.

Then, as Lady Cheongyu extended the stick out the window, a rustling sound was heard from outside the window.

-Shh. Shh.

Perhaps she had summoned the snakes, and as several snakes crawled up Sojeong-yu’s arms, Sojeong-yu looked toward the door and said.

-Sia. “I’ll show you. Should we go outside?”

“all right.”

Going out onto the deck, I checked out the snakes that So-Joo Cheong-Yu had called. The children that So-Joo Cheong-Yu had called were the water snakes called Mujachi, Elapha rufodorsata.

They were known for being non-toxic and living in groups.

-Sia. “I called the Hongmun Cheransa (Red-spotted Egg Snake).”

Perhaps in the Central Plains, it was called Hongmun Cheoransa, and when they arrived on the deck, Lady Cheongyu took a jumping position and said.

-Sia! 『Come and see!』

I was wondering why she had called the snake, but Lady Cheongyu told me to attack her with the snake wrapped around my arm.

My eyes opened wide in shock, as if I had been hit in the head with a hammer.

Because if what I’m thinking is right, it was really great.

‘No way!? Is that really it!?’

“Then let’s go!”

I quickly got into a jumping position, holding my pounding heart and holding the lottery ticket.

And then he ran towards Sojeong Yu, stepping on the stone wall of the stone fortress.

Because I had to confirm with my own eyes that what I was thinking was correct.

“Poisonous snake detection!”

It is the first step of the poisonous snake greedy hand.

The basic technique of the Poisonous Snake Detective is to raise the palm of the hand and make the hand look like a snake, then wrap it around the opponent’s hand like a snake and attack their chest even if they are defending against it.

As I extended my poisonous snake detective sword towards So-Joo Cheong, So-Joo Cheong easily avoided my attack by moving only her upper body, using the snake’s flexible body.

Then, as a counterattack, he started to use the second half of the Poisonous Snake Detective’s three moves in succession.

-Sia! 『Poisonous snake fang!』

The first is the first poisonous snake poison in the second half of the third season.

It’s a herbivore that only lightly touches the opponent with the tip of its finger at close range, so it was a bit scary when it was getting used to it, but if it has a hidden ability, the hidden ability will be shot at close range the moment its hand touches it.

The pale hand of the young lady, stretched out, reached toward my chest.

-Shhh! Shhh!

Then the snakes wrapped around Lady Cheongyu’s arms uttered a warning sound, and then her hand gently touched my chest.

In that moment, the three Mujachi that had been wrapped around Lady Cheongyu’s arm shot towards me through Lady Cheongyu’s arm.

Three Mujachi flying towards my chest as they move in a rotating motion along the arms of the young lady of Cheongyu.

The sight of those guys filled my eyes.

Three guys who soon reached my chest and gently bit the hem of my clothes.

Perhaps he had received orders from Lady Cheongyu not to hurt her.

Although I had already allowed my heart to open during the first thrust, I was too trembling to react during the following two thrusts.

-Sia! Sii! 『Poisonous snake! Poisonous snake twin!』

In the Poisonous Snake, a poisonous snake flew from a distance, and in the Poisonous Snake Twins, two snakes shot from each hand and attacked my shoulders in a curved pattern.

If you use a deadly poisonous snake, it will be a truly deadly herbivore.

thrill!

I’m already shivering from the first bite.

Because instead of memorizing it, he spread his prey on living snakes.

This feeling really came down to one word.

‘Gyaaaah!’

Using a living snake as a weapon to perform martial arts was a perfect fit for Fabre’s martial arts.

Three on the chest, two on each shoulder, and three on the stomach.

The incompetent people hanging from my body.

As if ordered by Lady Cheongyu, the unruly men let go of their clothes and jumped over the deck into the river and into the water.

As the innocence disappeared, Lady Cheongyu looked at me and asked.

-Shiiaa. 『If Xiaolong opens this door, he will be able to control snakes like me, and it will become a martial art that only Xiaolong and I can use in this Central Plains. What do you think?』

A word just came out naturally.

“Master… Master.”

The real Young Lady was a person who had no shortcomings as Fabre’s master.

***

-Beep?

-Ugh?

-Tsurut?

After confirming the great inaction of Lady Cheongyu at dawn, this door is in a more urgent state.

As soon as the morning dawned, the children who had just woken up were gathered in front of the bed.

Hwayang, Seol, Bing, Dongi, and Hyangi.

This is for all my friends who haven’t yet awakened their new abilities.

I had to open this door somehow.

“Well, did you all sleep well? Today, Dad has something to say.”

As I spoke affectionately, the children who had just woken up were blinking their eyes, not knowing what was going on.
