Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 375

375
“As expected, the leader’s successor!”

“So So Hyup, you are amazing!”

Although he was taken aback by the unexpected turn of events, he scratched his head and answered as the warriors continued to give him admiring compliments.

“Father, it is just an embarrassing state.”

It was clear that Cheongwol’s poison and ability were reflected in the Iron Art due to the beast heart technique that made up the Odokguiwonsingong, but it seemed that the leader thought that it was not true, but that I had been diligently training in the Iron Art.

I feel a little sorry for the leader, but it wasn’t my intention, and I was able to get out of this crisis anyway, so I answered quickly.

Isn’t the most important and necessary thing for people to live quick-witted?

Because the most important thing in broadcasting in a past life and in improvising in this life is the ability to reflexes.

Then the leader’s satisfied voice was heard.

“It won’t be a year since you’ve been ashamed. If you’ve reached the level of Chilseong, you can hold your shoulders proudly. Then I won’t have to look down on you anymore.”

“Wow, it hasn’t even been a year and it’s already Chilseong.”

“Chilsung! The iron ore of the leader has already been made into Chilsung!”

As the warriors were amazed and quickly closed their mouths at the fact that they had been amazed, the leader continued speaking.

“I think I chose the right person. That kid seems tired too, so I’ll go back now. Thanks to you, I’m having a good time.

“Oh, I think you’ll do well, but if you need any advice, feel free to come see me anytime.”

The leader pointed to Mirang and said that it was time to turn back.

Because Mirang has been sleeping since earlier.

After finishing his words, the leader stood up, put the bamboo hat he had taken off on his head, and turned around.

“Thank you for the meal and kind words.”

As I struck the back of his head with a club, the warrior who was the leader’s escort and my guide quickly turned around and struck me with a club, leaving a sound.

[I am Jang Gil, the Iron Palm Commander of the Horongdae, directly under the leader. If you ever need to visit the Murim Alliance again, please ask for me. I will guide you directly to the leader.]

As the group of the leader disappeared, Hwa-eun, who was left behind, came up to me and asked while rubbing my arm.

“So-ryong, this is clearly the result of the O-dok-gwi-won-shin-gong, and it looks like Cheong-wol-i’s poison or shell has appeared on his body.”

“Maybe.”

“But why the bark and not the poison?”

“That’s why.”

“Hmm. I think I should go back and invite Lady Cheongyu and Sister Seol over and talk to them.”

“Let’s go quickly.”

Hwa-eun’s suspicions seemed right, but the strange thing was, as expected, why was it the shell and not the poison?

As Hwa-eun said, it seemed like a good idea to invite Lady Cheong-yu and Sister Seol and have a chat.

“Phew···. Phew···.”

The moment I turned around to quickly go back, I suddenly heard the sound of wind blowing next to me.

“huh?”

“Mirang?”

When Hwa-eun turned her head, Mirang was sleeping with her head down, not knowing that everyone had left.

I had been nodding off for a while, but now I was completely in dreamland.

Perhaps because she lived in a palace, Mirang lived a fairly regular life, but it seemed like she couldn’t stand staying up all night like this.

Hwa-eun barely managed to wake Mirang up and surround her, and Mirang muttered in her sleep.

“I’m sorry···. Miss···.”

It seems like he still has the presence of mind to apologize.

At those words, Hwa-eun smiled and said.

“Haha. You must be tired. Let’s go. Little Dragon.”

“If it’s heavy, should I carry it?”

Although she is a woman, she is a member of our family, so I suggested that if it is too heavy, I should carry it for her.

Hwa-eun quickly picked up Mirang and left her there, but thinking about it, it was a bit awkward for Hwa-eun to carry Mirang all the way to the boat like this.

“yes?”

Then, Hwa-eun briefly showed an expression as if she had misheard something, and then quickly made an uncomfortable expression.

As if I did something wrong.

‘What did I do wrong?’

I couldn’t help but flinch when I saw Hwa-eun’s gaze, but Hwa-eun continued speaking.

“Little Dragon, I know that you are kind and affectionate. But I am the only one who should be kind and affectionate to you. So I am the only one who should carry you. Got it?”

My back is a declaration that I will monopolize it.

Hwa-eun’s face was slightly red, as if she was embarrassed to say it herself, but she quickly nodded at Hwa-eun’s determined expression.

“Oh, of course. That’s right! Oh… But can’t I have Seol as well?”

“···.”

When he said that he only had to carry himself, he said that he understood, but then he immediately asked if it was okay for Seol’s sister to do the same.

If you keep hanging out together, won’t there be times when you have to carry your sister if she gets sick or something?

That’s what I meant when I asked, but I only got glares as if asking if Seol’s sister was okay, as if it was a pointless question.

It’s a look of disapproval whose meaning is completely incomprehensible.

‘But did you glare at me because I bit your mouth so hard that it hurt? Or did you glare at me because it obviously didn’t work?’

I really didn’t understand what it meant and just rolled my eyes.

***

Going down to the first floor, there was no sign of life, but the door was open.

It was only after we went outside that we felt the presence of people behind us.

Is it because they don’t want to get involved with the martial artists, so they don’t even look at who the guests are?

Or, since he was the guest of the leader, it seemed like he was managing it privately.

Anyway, as I was going to be the author, it was the middle of the night and the road was very dark.

I quickly headed towards the port, passing the pitch-black darkness that covered the author.

Come to think of it, I was worried that the kids or my sister might be worried because we were so late.

“I’m sure Sister Seol and the kids are worried.”

“Oh, I didn’t think about it at all because of the leader. Let’s hurry.”

On the ship that arrived, there were, as expected, So-jeo Cheong-yu, Seol-nu, and the children waiting for us with worried expressions on their faces.

As we were running late, everyone was waiting for us with their boat lights on.

-Sia! 『So So-hyeop, what happened to Mirang!? When I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see So-ryong, so I asked So-joo Seol, and she said that the two of them went out to the author for a bit, right? But I was worried because they haven’t come back yet!』

“Hwaeun, what happened to Mirang? I was already telling the kids to go out and look for her. Is Mirang hurt?”

-Tsuru! “Dad, what’s going on!? I was worried because my aunt just told me to wait.”

-Kissit. Kissishi!

As expected, I feel like I was quite worried.

We should have asked Musa to give us a pipe for the ship, but we forgot because we were meeting the leader. That was our mistake.

“I’m sorry. You were all worried, right? It’s nothing serious. The three of us were just looking around and went into a restaurant to eat, but the leader was there and we were caught and couldn’t get out. Mirang was just asleep.”

When Hwa-eun roughly explained the situation and apologized, people and spirits were surprised and tilted their heads.

“What? Leader.”

-Sia? 『The leader of the martial arts world?』

-Kissit?

-Teeth?

“He is the tallest grandfather who lives in the place where the Oryongsambong was given. He said that it had been a long time since we last met and wanted to talk, but as we were talking, we ended up at this point. I’m sorry, everyone. Were you worried?”

After Hwa-eun explained the situation and apologized, and I got involved, the situation calmed down a bit.

At that moment, a voice full of disappointment and resentment toward Sister Seol was heard.

-Sia. “What is it? It’s not like that. It’s not like that.”

-Tsk tsk. “What the heck, Auntie!”

-Kkukuu. “Auntie, I’m in trouble. You’re wrong.”

“No, that’s right.”

Then, Seol’s sister was at a loss as to what to do with the children’s sharp cries, even though she didn’t know what they were saying.

He tilted his head and asked, feeling puzzled at the situation where Seol Noo-ni seemed to have become a traitor.

“What’s going on? What did Sister Seol do wrong? I have a feeling the kids really resent Sister Seol.”

-Sii. 『Miss Seol said something strange… Ahem.』

“Is that a strange sound?”

When Seol-nu tilted her head at the strange sound she made, Cho answered awkwardly and Bin-i’s voice suddenly snapped.

-Tsuru. 『I was just about to go out to look for it. My aunt said that I should not say that because I was having a good time with my father and mother. I might get a younger sibling···.』

-Tsururut! 『What the! Aunt! Mom and Dad said they went to make a little brother! I waited patiently!』

-Bye! “You’re my little brother!”

“What is this? Sister Seol? What are Hwa-eun and I making? A baby?”

When the children repeated what they had said, with expressions on their faces as if they wanted an explanation from Sister Seol, Sister Seol scratched her head and answered.

“What are you and I making!?”

“No, I’m the one who’s late. I’m having a good time somewhere, forgetting how much time has passed···.”

“Are you bringing Mirang with you?”

“No, what, are you telling me to watch the net or something…”

“Sister Seol!”

“Sister Seol!”

When Hwa-eun realized what I was saying and let out a sharp voice, Seol-nu tried to quickly run to the cabin.

“Ahaha. Guys, my little brother will have to wait a little longer. Oh my, I’m sleepy. Then my aunt will have to go to sleep.”

Is it because Sister Seol is getting married?

I feel like you’ve been thinking only about high-level things lately.

Julhaengrangchi quickly chased after Seol Nui and caught her at the door leading to the cabin.

“Sister Seol···.”

Seol’s sister turns her head and makes an apologetic expression when her shoulder is grabbed.

“Sorry, Soryong. I thought it was natural for you to be late, what the heck. Ahahaha…”

I quickly cut him off because it seemed like he was about to talk nonsense again.

Because I felt like if I left it alone, he would make another high-level joke.

“No. I have something else to say, so come this way.”

“You want to talk about it separately? No, I said my sister did something wrong?”

“No, other than that, let’s talk about martial arts.”

“Huh? Martial arts?”

When I suggested that we talk about martial arts, only then did Seol-niu blink and follow me.

Hwa-eun said as she passed by me.

“I’ll go and put Mirang to bed.”

-Tsk tsk. “Dad, I’m sleepy, so I’ll see you tomorrow.”

And then came the grumbling of children heading to their cabins to sleep.

-Bye. “Baby···.”

-Tsk tsk. “Auntie is a liar. But how do you make babies?”

-Kkukuu. “T-T-Tell your father about that later. Or your mother?”

I have a feeling that the kids’ questions will give me a headache for a while.

When I looked at Sister Seol, the one who created this division, she smiled awkwardly.

“lol.”

Seol Nu-ni was led forward by Cheongwol, stroking her wavy hair.

From the moment I got on the ship, Lady Cheongyu followed me around.

“Young Lady Cheongyu, come this way too.”

-Sia. “Okay.”

“But what kind of martial arts story are you going to tell?”

He said while unfolding the iron ingot.

“When I met the leader earlier, he asked me to show him how far I had come in the ironsmithing he taught me.

So, to show you, I played the Iron Man for the first time in a long time, and this is what it turned out like.”

-Sia? “Huh, what is this?”

“What is this? It feels exactly like the shell of a blue moon.”

Sister Seol and So-jeo Cheong-yu touch my body here and there, which has become shiny and hardened like Cheongwol’s shell.

Lady Cheongyu, who was examining my body, spoke with an expression on her face as if she had just remembered something.

-Sia. 『I thought that if I learned the quick retreat, I would be able to use Cheongwol’s poison in each technique, but it seems that’s not the case. Why didn’t I know this until now?

When you use the Stone Wall Protection Sword, climbing the wall means using not only the poison, but also the abilities of the spirits one by one, right?

Listening to what Lady Cheongyu said, it was definitely true.

When he spread his Insect Poisonous Fang Claws, he could spray poisonous venom from his fingernails, and when he used his Insect Explosion Palms, he could contain the energy of Hwa Yang Yi and infuse his internal energy with poisonous energy.

So, of course, I thought that they were using the poison of the poisons registered in the poisonous poison register, but just looking at the stone tiger step, I can tell that wasn’t the case.

The Stone Wall Hosinbo has evolved into the ability to climb walls by forming a special energy in its hands and feet, but that is not a poison-based ability.

Since the previous two abilities allowed the use of poison, it was naturally assumed to be poison.

And I hear Sister Seol’s explanation.

“It seems that the change is that you can only use poison after learning the Beast’s Deep Skill. Instead of poison, you gain the abilities of each spirit. And it seems that because of the Beast’s Deep Skill, it has affected other martial arts as well, not just the Five Poisons?”

Seol’s sister explained that it was the original Beast Heart, not a deteriorated version, so it had a strong influence and seemed to have influenced other martial arts.

Then I wondered what kind of abilities the Hulmi Quick Retreat and the Poisonous Snake Detective would have.

‘I wonder what kind of abilities the Poisonous Snake’s Greedy Hand and the Snake’s Tail and Quick Legs will have.’

The ability of the spirit that has not been obtained yet is that of the Golden Crown King.

Will my legs become more flexible when I stretch my arms or legs?

As I was thinking about that, I heard Cheongwol’s passionate voice from next to me.

-Krrrrr. “So, Soryong has become really cool.”

It seemed that he really liked the fact that it looked like himself.

***

The secret weapon of the ironsmith that was taken out after a long time.

It was written that in order to enter the Ironworker’s Seven Stars, one must visualize the hardest thing one can think of and materialize it on one’s skin.

The leader had thought of iron and materialized it, so when something hard rose to my skin, I clearly mistook it for Chilseong.

“So that’s why you were mistaken?”

And although he is not a real Chilseong, thanks to the strength of Cheongwol, he was able to secure at least the ability to be impervious to swords, if not to strong energy.

As he was vowing not to slack off in his training since he had gained the ability of Cheongwol, a voice was heard from outside the cabin.

“Your Majesty, the Five Dragons and Three Peaks are returning.”

He shouted outside at the news that the Oryongsambongs were returning.

“Once everyone gets on board, we set sail.”

“Yes, Little Dragon.”

I decided to think about it slowly.

Now it was time to set out to find the whirlpool of Dongjeongho.

‘Well, I guess I’ll figure out how to use martial arts somehow.’
