Chapter 967 – 967. The Ascent To Gwangmyeong

Chae Song-gyeong gulped down the cold water his subordinate brought, trying to clear his head.

His meeting with Namgung Rin here was no coincidence. He had received information about Namgung Rin leaving for Nakwol Mountain a few days ago and had come to this village in advance to wait. Then, he met Namgung Rin and talked with her.

The Namgung Rin he actually met was indeed as beautiful as her reputation suggested. More so than any woman he had ever met.

‘Namgung Rin’s beauty isn’t all she has. The Namgung family background makes her even more outstanding.’

If Namgung Rin had accepted his proposal, things would have ended easily. However, Chae Song-gyeong hadn’t expected that at all. She had nonchalantly ignored the marriage proposal from the eldest son of Oh Yeon-chae’s family, so it was natural that she would be even less interested in him, the third son. If she had accepted the proposal, he would have suspected some hidden plan.

The night deepened. Chae Song-gyeong tried to calm his pounding heart and waited patiently for the night to grow even darker. Then, at the hour of the Ox (1-3 AM), he began his operation.

He took out two items from his pocket. These were items he had purchased on the black market after secretly saving up his emergency funds.

One was the Ox-Dragon Incense. Wrapped in a small piece of paper, it was a sleeping incense that could put both oxen and dragons to sleep instantly. He had already confirmed its effectiveness. Even a martial artist at the level of Chulji couldn’t withstand the Ox-Dragon Incense and fell asleep in less than a moment.

The other was the Soul-Bewitching Needle. When inserted into the back of the neck, it would cause the target to lose their mind, and in this state, any command given would be followed. Even after the needle was removed.

Chae Song-gyeong’s plan was simple. He would put her to sleep with the Ox-Dragon Incense, then insert the Soul-Bewitching Needle into the back of Namgung Rin’s neck. Then, he would make Namgung Rin accept his proposal and not resist.

‘If I can make Namgung Rin my woman… I can surpass my older brother and become the head of the family. And as a bonus, I can have the most beautiful woman as my wife.’

It was an opportunity to reverse his mediocre life in one fell swoop.

Chae Song-gyeong climbed the wall through the window and headed to Namgung Rin’s room. There was a small hole he had made in advance in the closed window. He inserted the Ox-Dragon Incense into the hole. He waited for a moment until the white smoke of the Ox-Dragon Incense filled the room. After a moment, Chae Song-gyeong quietly broke the window and entered. After all, Namgung Rin would surely be asleep due to the Ox-Dragon Incense.

Step.

Chae Song-gyeong, who had entered the room, covered his nose with his hand. It was full of hazy Ox-Dragon Incense. The hazy smoke escaped through the open window. The smoke that rose into the sky soon disappeared without a trace.

‘Namgung Rin. She’s asleep. Even if her arm was cut off, she wouldn’t wake up until morning.’

A smile spread across Chae Song-gyeong’s face as he looked at Namgung Rin sleeping in bed. She was truly beautiful like this. To think that such a woman would become his wife.

Thinking of his life on the fast track, he reached out towards Namgung Rin. All he had to do was flip her over and stick the Soul-Bewitching Needle into her neck.

However, his hand was stopped midway. By Seong Yu-jin, Namgung Seol’s husband, who suddenly appeared next to him.

“Wh-what is it!”

Chae Song-gyeong, flustered by the unexpected situation, widened his eyes and stepped back.

“Is that how you try to hit on someone else’s woman?”

Seong Yu-jin grabbed his hand and twisted it. His hand snapped like a dry twig.

“Kkkyaaaaaaaak!”

Chae Song-gyeong screamed as loudly as he could. Born into a merchant family, he was not a martial artist. The martial arts he had learned were only at the level of maintaining his health. Now that things had gone wrong, he needed the help of the guards inside the inn.

“Kkkyaaaak! Kkkyaaaaaaaak!”

Chae Song-gyeong’s screams were almost frantic.

Seong Yu-jin chuckled and sneered at Chae Song-gyeong.

“It’s no use. No matter how much you scream, the sound won’t leak outside.”

“There was a sorcerer…!”

Chae Song-gyeong shed tears from the pain of his wrist being twisted. This was a trap. The opponent already knew he was coming and was prepared.

‘A way, a way…!’

He racked his brain. There must be a way to survive even in this situation. But Seong Yu-jin didn’t give him time to think. Seong Yu-jin’s leg kicked his ankle. His ankle broke, and his foot twisted in an unexpected direction.

“……!”

The pain was so intense that he couldn’t even scream. Chae Song-gyeong, who had fallen to the floor, looked up at Seong Yu-jin and felt his mind go blank. There was not a shred of mercy in the eyes looking down at him. That man was someone who could kill a person without batting an eye.

“I-I’m sorry. Please spare me…! I will definitely compensate you for this!”

“If you were going to do that, you shouldn’t have done it in the first place. But what’s this?”

Seong Yu-jin stepped on his left wrist and picked up the needle.

It was a thin, silver needle, almost invisible compared to the length of his index finger. If you looked closely at the needle, there was a black pattern that curved like a design.

“It’s a Soul-Bewitching Needle.”

Namgung Rin, who had been lying in bed, got up. She hadn’t fallen asleep. Sleeping incense? If you were prepared, it wasn’t difficult to deal with. Moreover, her martial art was the Emperor’s Divine Art. A martial art praised as the peerless martial art. She hadn’t let her guard down, so there was no reason for her to be affected by sleeping incense.

“Soul-Bewitching Needle?”

“If you stick it into the back of a person’s neck, they lose their mind, and in that state, you can give them commands. It’s a kind of hypnosis, you could say.”

“Hypnosis?!”

Seong Yu-jin carefully handled the Soul-Bewitching Needle. Namgung Rin guessed Seong Yu-jin’s thoughts and gave a wry smile.

“It’s quite famous. Most martial artists who have been around for a few years know about it. I’ve almost been hit by the Soul-Bewitching Needle several times.”

“Is there a solution?”

“It’s easy. The Soul-Bewitching Needle is a kind of sorcery. If you go to another sorcerer and have them undo the sorcery of the Soul-Bewitching Needle, it’s done. Unless you’re an ordinary person, it’s almost impossible to be completely affected by the Soul-Bewitching Needle.”

“What, it’s more trivial than I thought.”

Seong Yu-jin openly expressed his disappointment with the performance of the Soul-Bewitching Needle and broke it. He could get hypnosis stickers with amazing performance that could replace the Soul-Bewitching Needle as long as he had points.

“There’s a limit to what a man like him can get. Even if it’s the black market, there’s a limit to what you can do with just money, and he’s not a big enough tycoon to be treated well by the black market.”

“In short, he was a guy who didn’t know his place.”

Seong Yu-jin flicked the broken Soul-Bewitching Needle with his finger. The Soul-Bewitching Needle pierced his left eyeball precisely. The sound of it rolling on the floor and a terrible scream filled the room.

“Seong Ga-ga. You really intend to kill him.”

“I said I would kill him. I know what you’re worried about. The cleanup, right?”

“…Yes. The benefits that the main family gets through Oh Yeon Trading Company are not small enough to ignore.”

“If there’s no body, it’s a disappearance. Don’t worry about the cleanup.”

Seong Yu-jin put his arm around Namgung Rin’s shoulder. His hand groped her ample chest and teased her. Namgung Rin accepted his touch without resistance.

“Spare me… please spare me…!”

“No.”

Blue electricity shot out from Seong Yu-jin’s finger as he answered as if it was a bother.

***

Nakwol Mountain.

It was named so because the moon in the sky was said to have fallen on this mountain. It had been called that for a very long time, so it was unknown whether the moon had actually fallen.

We looked up at the mountain from its base.

It was about 2km high. It was tall. The problem was that there was no path leading up the mountain. Nakwol Shaman was said to live near the summit of Nakwol Mountain, so it would take at least half a day to meet her.

“Husband, should we use sorcery to fly up there in one go?”

I was tempted by Miryeong’s suggestion.

However, Namgung Rin shook her head.

“I heard that Nakwol Shaman doesn’t like sorcery. According to a story I heard a few decades ago, a sorcerer used sorcery without Nakwol Shaman’s permission and was chased out of the mountain with his arm cut off.”

Miryeong nodded.

“It’s understandable that she would be angry if a sorcerer she didn’t know used sorcery in her territory. We need to be on good terms with Nakwol Shaman, so we have no choice but to walk, right? Ah~ My legs are already hurting! Husband! Can you carry me?”

“Don’t exaggerate. You have better stamina than me.”

I looked at Namgung Seol. She was the one with the worst stamina here. Right now, she was looking at Nakwol Mountain with eyes full of passion, but in a few hours, I would have to carry her. Not that I disliked it.

‘Since she’s weak and has no experience with mountain climbing, I should walk next to Namgung Seol.’

We started climbing the mountain.

We didn’t know the exact location of Nakwol Shaman’s residence. We only knew that it was near the summit.

‘There’s no sign of any monsters.’

Usually, if it was a large mountain like Nakwol Mountain, there would be monsters, and they would attack humans who entered the mountain. However, if there was a sect on the mountain or someone managing it, the story was different.

‘It also means that Nakwol Shaman is perfectly managing Nakwol Mountain by herself.’

I glanced at Miryeong.

Miryeong’s words had decreased since we entered the mountain. Usually, she would cling to me or chat with the Namgung sisters often.

‘The fact that Miryeong has become so serious means that she’s wary of Nakwol Shaman.’

And an hour later, Namgung Seol, as I had expected, reached her limit and was panting.

“It’s a long way to go to rest. Seol-ah. I’ll carry you.”

“I can walk more….”

Contrary to her words, Namgung Seol obediently snuggled into my arms. I held her like a princess. My hands naturally caressed her buttocks and chest. That was why her breathing was still rapid even while she was in my arms.

“Is it true that Nakwol Shaman is over 1,000 years old?”

I asked Namgung Seol. She, who was being teased by my hands, blushed and nodded.

“Yes. That’s what I heard.”

Namgung Rin added.

“It’s true. Nakwol Shaman was actually mentioned in records from a thousand years ago. We don’t know her exact age, but it’s certain that she’s at least 1,000 years old.”

A thousand years.

It was an immense age.

However, in this world, it wasn’t impossible for a human to live that long.

‘The lifespan of someone at the level of Ipsik is 100 years, and if you reach the level of Ohgi, which is my current level, your lifespan is a total of 250 years. The higher the level, the longer the lifespan. To live for more than a thousand years, you would have to reach the level of Mansang….’

Of course, it might not be. There were plenty of sorceries, magical artifacts, and elixirs that could extend lifespan in this world. In reality, she might be at the level of Johwa rather than Mansang.

Ipsik (Entering the Style) ‣ Chulji (Reaching the Will) ‣ Ohgi (Five Energies) ‣ Samjeong (Three Peaks) ‣ Johwa (Creation) ‣ Mansang (Myriad Forms) ‣ Deungseon (Ascending to Immortality).

Mansang was the sixth level.

‘…Even if she’s at the level of Johwa, she’s probably the strongest human I’ve ever met.’

I understood why Miryeong, who had reached the level of Samjeong, was nervous.

“But for such a great figure, there don’t seem to be many rumors about Nakwol Shaman.”

“Nakwol Shaman doesn’t come out of Nakwol Mountain often.”

Namgung Seol said.

“If she’s that old, she must be an old woman, right?”

“No.”

Namgung Seol shook her head. She was the only one among us who had met Nakwol Shaman.

“Nakwol Shaman was a beautiful person.”

A beautiful person.

It was a word that relentlessly piqued my interest. I grilled Namgung Seol about Nakwol Shaman.

“How was she beautiful? Was she more beautiful than Miryeong or Namgung Rin?”

“Hmm. She was more beautiful, and also similar, I guess.”

“What about her chest?”

“It was a little bigger than Rin’s. Her hair was long enough to reach her thighs…. She was a calm person.”

If her chest was a little bigger than Namgung Rin’s, it was likely a G cup. A beauty with a thousand-year-old, firm skin. I would have to see for myself, but she was surprisingly hot.

‘If her appearance is that of a beauty, then age is just a number.’

Just like the elves, for example.

My steps towards the summit of Nakwol Mountain became lighter.

Our steps stopped some distance from the summit. Two houses built on the vegetation appeared. The two houses were about 50cm apart from each other. One was quite old, and the other seemed to have been built recently.

Thanks to our diligent walking without rest, we were able to arrive around 3-4 PM. If you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of flowing water.

The door of the old house opened, and a woman came out.

“You’ve come. I’ve been waiting. But there are more guests than I expected.”
