Chapter 124

Isn't My Husband Incredible?

"Nngh. Good morning."

"Waking up at this time every day is truly torture."

"Hm? Why does your face look like that? Couldn't sleep?"

"Oh my. I drank quite a bit yesterday, and now I'm dying, truly dying. My body isn't what it used to be. In the past, I could drink a gallon and be fine after just a little sleep."

"That's right. Think about your age, man. Did you think you'd be young forever? Anyway, we have a lot to do today, so hurry up."

"Ugh. Alright."

Early in the morning, as workers who had just left their homes gathered with tired faces to chat before starting their work,

*Boom!*

*Flash!*

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the mountain peak above, then quickly faded.

One of the workers, the only one who saw it, startled and said,

"What kind of sun is rising over there?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? The sun is just starting to rise over there."

As another worker pointed to the opposite side of the mountain peak where the sun was beginning to show its face, the man who had seen the blinding golden light alone looked dazed.

"Huh? But I'm sure I saw a big light over there..."

"Are you still half asleep?"

"No, I definitely..."

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go. If we're late, we'll miss out on work and only hurt ourselves."

"Oh, oh. R-right."

Soon, the workers disappeared somewhere, leading the still bewildered man.

The sky was still dim, with the sun just beginning to rise.

The sight of sunlight slowly illuminating the ground was truly beautiful.

Yeo Un-hwi, sitting alone in a cross-legged position on the high mountain peak, slowly opened his eyes.

“Finally, the Heavenly Martial Divine Art has reached the 6th star.”

But Yeo Un-hwi-hwi-hwi's face was filled with surprise and bewilderment rather than joy.

Even though he was spending much more time training the Heavenly Martial Divine Art compared to before his regression, this was too fast, far too fast.

No, he wondered if it was even right to call this training in the first place.

Yeo Un-hwi was simply doing Qi circulation and breathing exercises every early morning on the highest mountain peak near the Peng Family to allow the Martial God's energy settled in his body to spread throughout his entire body.

That was all, yet Yeo Un-hwi's Heavenly Martial Divine Art was advancing at a terrifying speed.

"The 6th star of the Heavenly Martial Divine Art."

Thinking about what he had been able to do with the 4th and 5th stars, he couldn't quite imagine how powerful the 6th star would be. He wanted to test this power right away, but if he did, the entire mountain might fly away, so he decided to hold back for now.

It's always a joyous thing when one's martial arts reach a higher level.

But Yeo Un-hwi-hwi-hwi felt a little afraid.

He was becoming stronger at a speed incomparable to before his regression.

Why was that?

Was it because, unlike before his regression, he was spending time like this every early morning?

Of course, that would be part of the reason.

But

'That's not all.'

Somehow, he had a feeling, almost like a certainty, that there was a separate reason.

A reason he needed to become stronger more quickly.

Perhaps something he hadn't anticipated at all might happen in the future.

Something that didn't happen before his regression.

But does that make sense?

No, the fact that he had regressed in the first place was something that didn't make sense.

What on earth could it be?

What was happening?

Until now, he had felt a considerable sense of stability from knowing what was going to happen.

But as that stability disappeared, he couldn't help feeling anxious.

Then,

“No. That”s not right.'

Yeo Un-hwi, who had briefly worn an anxious expression, quickly changed his mind.

He had the Heavenly Martial Divine Art, the martial art of the Martial God, called the greatest under heaven.

A martial art that even the masters who had opposed him when he was the Blood Demon in his past life had coveted.

There was no reason to be afraid.

“Bring it on. I”ll crush anything that comes.'

With that, Yeo Un-hwi's eyes flashed.

Whatever enemy or crisis came, he would overcome it all and protect his family no matter what.

That was something he had no intention of ever giving up on.

Phew.

After roughly organizing his thoughts like that, Yeo Un-hwi slowly gathered his energy.

It was about time to go down.

But then,

*Hm?*

He sensed an energy near the mountain peak where he was.

Soon, a small smile appeared on Yeo Un-hwi's lips.

It was an energy he knew well.

And not long after, someone appeared on the mountain peak where Yeo Un-hwi was.

"Whew. I wondered why you climbed this treacherous place every morning for no reason, but it's quite a spectacular view."

It was Jin So-baek.

How did he know about this place?

The answer was simple. Wasn't he the Sect Master of the Hao Sect?

He had already figured out Yeo Un-hwi's every move.

Of course, he also knew that Yeo Un-hwi came here alone every early morning to spend time without any disturbance.

Well, to be more precise, Yeo Un-hwi had allowed him to figure it out.

So that he could find him anytime if something happened.

Just like today.

"I thought we weren't supposed to meet for a few more days. What brings you here?"

"Ah, well, I have some urgent news to deliver."

Jin So-baek, who had been admiring the spectacular view from the mountain peak, soon turned to Yeo Un-hwi with a serious face.

Yeo Un-hwi slightly raised one eyebrow as he looked back at him.

"What is it?"

"Something has happened in the Tang Clan."

"The Tang Clan?"

"Yes. It seems that Tang Guhwi, that madman, has really caused trouble."

Yeo Un-hwi's eyes immediately turned cold.

Previously, Yeo Un-hwi had asked Jin So-baek to consistently gather and report information on the overall situation of the martial world, including the movements of the Five Great Families.

In addition, he wanted several persons of interest to be treated as a top priority.

However, Tang Guhwi was not among them.

He thought there was no need to treat him as a top priority since he had become completely incapacitated, unable to even move, let alone speak, only able to move his eyeballs and eat through a forcibly opened mouth just to stay alive.

This was something Jin So-baek had classified as top priority at his own discretion.

After learning that Yeo Un-hwi was the fiend who had turned Tang Guhwi into an invalid, he realized their connection was not ordinary just in case.

Moreover, the Tang Clan had been thrown into chaos because of Tang Guhwi, so how could Tang Guhwi not?

That's why, as soon as the incident occurred and he found out about it, he quickly came to find Yeo Un-hwi with news that hadn't yet reached the Peng Family.

This was why Yeo Un-hwi had hired Jin So-baek.

In that respect, Jin So-baek was fulfilling his role exactly as Yeo Un-hwi had hoped.

"Tell me that story in detail."

At Yeo Un-hwi-hwi-hwi's words, Jin So-baek nodded and relayed the horrific incident that had occurred in the Tang Clan exactly as it had happened.

As he listened to the story, Yeo Un-hwi's eyes sank heavily.

When Jin So-baek-baek-baek finished his story, Yeo Un-hwi soon asked with a puzzled expression.

"But how could someone whose dantian was destroyed and who couldn't even move get up, kill people in the Tang Clan, and disappear?"

"To be honest, that's the most puzzling part for me as well, but nothing has been clearly revealed yet. It seems even the Tang Clan side won't be able to figure it out easily. But in my opinion, there's only one thing that could make such a thing possible."

"And what is that?"

"It must be demonic martial arts."

"Demonic martial arts, you say."

"But that's just my simple conjecture, nothing certain."

"Hmm."

Yeo Un-hwi fell into thought for a moment.

They say Tang Guhwi said such things when he disappeared.

That he would personally destroy this damned Tang Clan in the most horrific way possible.

It was unexpected.

If he had really recovered his body, the first person he should hate most would be Yeo Un-hwi himself.

But why?

Of course, he had no intention of believing those words at face value.

“This has become troublesome.”

The reason he had dealt with Tang Guhwi that way that day was partly because he spared his life for Tang Mujun's sake, but also because he wanted him to taste the worst pain and die slowly.

But to think something like this would happen, that's surprising.

Perhaps he should have killed him after all.

No. If he had done so then, his relationship with the Tang Clan and Tang Mujun would have become an irreconcilable blood feud, regardless of the truth.

This is why human relationships are such a headache.

But,

“Perhaps this is for the best.”

For a moment, Yeo Un-hwi's eyes gleamed.

He had felt uneasy about leaving things as they were anyway.

Now that things had turned out this way, he could deal with Tang Guhwi without any hesitation.

“This time, I”ll make you die in the most painful way possible, more than anyone else in the world has experienced, Tang Guhwi.'

*At that moment, Jin So-baek shuddered at the killing intent flowing from Yeo Un-hwi.*

"Kugh."

What kind of killing intent was this terrifying? It was hard to even breathe.

Seeing Jin So-baek-baek-baek struggling, Yeo Un-hwi quickly withdrew his killing intent.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he made a request to Jin So-baek.

"W-What?"

After hearing everything he said, Jin So-baek's eyes widened.

"But to employ that many people would require quite a large sum of money."

"As I always say, don't worry about money. This is the surest way."

"Haha. If that's what you say, dear client."

How thrilling those words 'don't worry about money' were. Jin So-baek smiled brightly as if he had never been gasping for breath.

"Then I'm counting on you."

Was it just his imagination that Yeo Un-hwi's appearance, his eyes flashing as if he had made up his mind, overlapped with that of a tiger starting its hunt?

Gulp.

Jin So-baek thought once again that no matter what happened in the future, he should never, ever make an enemy of this man.

\*\*\*

*At the same time.*

For some reason, Peng Mugang's face was full of worry from the morning.

Seeing her husband like this, Dan Hee-young tilted her head.

"Is something wrong?"

"Hm? Ah, it's nothing."

"It's not nothing. Your face is full of worry. Don't you think I know you?"

"Ahem. Well, actually, it's Yul-i's birthday soon, isn't it?"

"Is your granddaughter's birthday something to worry about?"

"Well... I don't know what to do for her."

Usually, he could just give her whatever good things came to mind or caught his eye, but this birthday was special.

Peng Mugang wanted to celebrate Yul-i's birthday, which he had never been able to celebrate before, in the most wonderful way possible.

So he was thinking of throwing the biggest and grandest birthday party.

But as he thought about what else he could do, it felt endless.

That's how it is when love runs deep.

Rather than getting excited about what to do, you start worrying about what would make the other person happier.

"Come to think of it, what did I give Seo-jin and Seo-yeon?"

"You don't remember?"

"It's a bit hazy."

"You gave them blades."

"Blades?"

Peng Mugang looked blank for a moment.
