What I Gained as the Heavenly Demon

Yeo Un-hwi said that the Great Heaven Alliance was a fence to protect his people. Therefore, he wished they would join him within that fence. Haha. Yeo Un-hwi already considered Jin So-baek and the Hao Sect as his own people.

Jin So-baek was unexpectedly moved at his words, his gaze, and his sincerity. He then struggled with all his might to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes. Who in the world had ever said such words to him and the Hao Sect?

However,

“If it becomes known that we are together, it might harm the reputation of the Great Heaven Alliance.”

Of course, he knew. He knew the people of the Five Great Families were exceptionally good. That was why Jin So-baek was even more cautious. He wasn’t being overly sensitive. There would undoubtedly be many who would look upon them with prejudice. And seizing this opportunity, those who usually viewed the Five Great Families unfavorably would spread all sorts of malicious rumors, claiming that the so-called Orthodox Faction was associating with the Unorthodox Faction.

Thus, he had intended to refuse until the very end.

“I don’t care about such things at all. If I truly don’t like it, I’ll just smash everything. Who’s going to stop me? Am I wrong?”

Knowing full well that Jin So-baek’s cautious attitude and words were born from genuine concern for Yeo Un-hwi and the Great Heaven Alliance, Yeo Un-hwi let out a refreshing laugh, as if to instantly dispel his worries.

“Huh? …Ha, hahahahaha!”

Jin So-baek, who had been momentarily dumbfounded, burst into loud laughter. He’d just smash everything if he didn’t like it? When a man who was not only the Martial God but also the Heavenly Demon said such a thing, all his previous worries felt like nothing...
