Chapter 370 – Sleep Well (2)
No Hee-bang was taken aback, her eyes bulging out, but she realized that the man’s breathing was still slow and steady, and that it was just sleep-talking.
“Phew…”
She breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, but soon her sense of relief gave way to the question of what to do in this situation.
It seemed difficult to untangle herself from his firm embrace, but she was a woman with a well-trained body, so she wouldn’t suffer any pain.
Thanks to that, she could have chosen to sleep like this, but it was clear that they would be uncomfortable with each other the next morning, so it would be better to wake him up for a moment now.
“So-hyup, So-hyup…”
“Umm…”
“Huh…”
She called out to him, poking his side lightly with her hand, but instead, he pulled her deeper into his embrace with even more strength.
Along with that, the sensation of the stick that had touched her numbness became even more vivid.
“Wake up…”
The cautious whispering voice trembled strangely.
The sensation of the stick that was so big, hard, and hot, touching a person’s body was strange.
“Wake up…”
“I don’t want to…”
“What…!”
No Hee-bang was surprised by the unexpected refusal, but soon realized that it was just sleep-talking and breathed a sigh of relief.
But seeing that he still didn’t wake up, she was in a dilemma.
“Should I leave him like this…?”
It wouldn’t be a big deal anyway once he opened his eyes. The other person was an old woman, and not even open-minded.
It might be a little awkward, but there was nothing else to worry about, and it was much better than making a fuss and getting trapped together.
“What kind of dream is he having…?”
The man’s mouth, which No Hee-bang lifted her head slightly to look at, was smiling happily as if he was very pleased.
She closed her eyes and asked for sleep, trembling her head.
But the strange sensation of the man’s firm body sticking to her back, even though she was lying on a comfortable bed, made her uncomfortable.
Perhaps her body was quite tired, but she realized that she had fallen asleep peacefully only after waking up in the morning.
Chapter 370 – Sleep Well (2)
If he had not fallen asleep, he might have tried to touch her body naturally, which would have been a problem.
“Bangju, are you having trouble sleeping?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Even though he was a master of martial arts, he looked a little tired, but it wasn’t a big deal since he could replace sleep with his breathing techniques.
Whether No Hee-bang was in good or bad condition, her escape plan was doomed to fail from the start, given that there was a traitor among the people who were supposed to carry out the plan.
“The problem is what comes next…”
As I was thinking about how to persuade her after the failure, I heard her whisper.
“I think it’s time.”
As No Hee-bang said, the presence of the guards patrolling the area had significantly decreased. Of course, there might be people coming to the Jangsaesung to deliver packages, so they might have left for the depot.
Although I didn’t know about those circumstances, No Hee-bang was convinced that the security had become lax, and she had already finished her preparations to escape.
Since the roles had already been assigned, they were just finishing their final preparations before leaving when No Hee-bang whispered again.
“I’m sorry for entrusting such a dangerous task to So-hyup…”
“It’s okay. Didn’t I decide to do it because I thought I was suitable for it?”
As No Hee-bang apologized with a guilty expression, I felt a pang of conscience.
Even though I had no intention of harming her, I was still deceiving her. Moreover, I was not going to be hurt at all.
“Rather than me, please be careful, No Bangju. Maybe it’s more dangerous on your side.”
“Thank you.”
However, there was a reason why we were doing this play, and it was not just to torture ourselves with false hope.
There was one thing we needed to confirm, and there were a few things we wanted to show her.
“Well then… let’s go. If it’s dangerous, think of your safety first.”
I didn’t answer her words and stood next to No Hee-bang. She looked at me briefly and then gestured towards the door.
Okay, let’s begin.
“Haam…”
The demon monk who was acting as a guard yawned loudly. Although he had been watching them nervously for a day or two, he couldn’t see any signs of trouble no matter how hard he looked.
“If I had my strength, I could escape right away…”
The martial artists of the Jungpa faction who were caught by the 6th team.
Chapter 370 – Sleep Well (2)
Given that the involvement of the Ming sect in their current business was a secret that needed to be kept strictly for at least a year, it was natural to expect orders from the Murderous Cult to eliminate them.
However, unexpectedly, the So sect chose to imprison them, and the order came down that there was no need to block their internal strength.
The brainwashing facility where they were being held was a building with a solid iron plate, so there was no way they could easily escape.
However, among the demon monks who had learned of this fact, there were those who wished for them to escape.
“I’ll just say I had no choice but to cut them down.”
Of course, they would have to face the elite guards, who were not to be underestimated, even if they used their combined strength, but at least there was no way to break through that iron block in a short time.
In the meantime, they could call their comrades to come and face them.
Kiiing-
“Oh, I knew I didn’t have to stay if this was going to happen… huh?”
The demon monk, who was stretching, suddenly opened his eyes wide as he saw the curtain he had shouted down fall off with a thud.
He reflexively put his hand on the sword at his waist as the sturdy iron curtain made of iron rattled and fell, but the door did not open.
“What the…?”
The demon monk cautiously approached the door, looking at the situation as he got closer.
It seemed that the curtain itself had no damage, so it seemed that someone had hung the curtain carelessly.
“Tsk…”
The demon monk clicked his tongue and reached out to hang the curtain again, lowering his waist.
And the moment he grabbed the solid curtain with both hands, the door opened.
“Bi…!”
He tried to quickly get up and shout for an emergency, but before he could, a man rushed at him like a wall, blocking his mouth.
The last thing the demon monk felt before losing consciousness was the sharp pieces of the lock falling off and the broken lock.
“Phew…”
The man breathed a sigh of relief as he caught the falling demon monk and the curtain, but unfortunately, their escape was not going to be smooth sailing.
“Emergency! They’re escaping!”
“Oh no…”
The man clicked his tongue and kicked the guard on the ground, throwing the iron curtain at another demon monk.
As the demon monk hurriedly avoided the curtain, which made a harsh noise as it spun around, No Hee-bang exchanged glances with the man and immediately threw a new weapon.
No Hee-bang’s plan was simple.
While the man distracted the guard, No Hee-bang would find the remaining two women and escape.
Chapter 370 – Sleep Well (2)
The fact that they couldn’t easily escape was due to the sturdy prison and the guards, but the biggest problem was that if only some of them escaped, the remaining members would be in danger.
Moreover, she didn’t have the confidence to fend off the pursuers alone and save the rest of the group, but with another person, it was possible.
As a senior member of the martial arts world, it was not something she was proud of to pass on dangerous tasks to her juniors, but there was a reason why she chose this lineup.
“Aaaah!”
“This rat bastard…!”
The enemies were starting to gather, but what she saw when she turned around was a scene of people bouncing off like lightning bolts exploding.
It was a trick she had shown a few days ago against the masters of the Qingcheng faction.
Using the Jeolse’s bojup technique, she found the gaps and scattered the enemies, but she didn’t have the confidence to dominate them like that.
Embarrassingly, her martial arts skills were already inferior to that of her male companion, which was why she had assigned him the task of attracting attention.
“But we have to hurry…”
Based on the sound she heard, she had a rough idea of where Hwangbo Hyoseon was. If she hadn’t moved, she must be there.
The problem was that she had no idea where Mong-ah was, but at least she couldn’t afford to waste time until the job was done.
“Here… kreak!”
After knocking out one person with a paoquan punch, No Hee-bang discovered a building in the direction she had predicted and knocked on the door, shouting.
“Hwangbo Yeohyeop, are you there?”
[No Bangju…?]
Hwangbo Hyoseon’s voice was already responding to the commotion, and No Hee-bang quickly pulled out a silver needle and shouted while locking the door.
“I’ll open the door now!”
As the silver needle’s energy was applied, the lock broke easily, and she pulled out the bolt and opened the door, revealing Hwangbo Hyoseon with wide eyes.
“How…?”
“It’s urgent, we’ll talk later!”
“Ah… okay!”
At No Hee-bang’s words, Hwangbo Hyoseon quickly regained her composure and ran out, soon realizing that Mong-ah was missing.
“We have to find out about Mong-ah. Search separately, and if you find her, send a signal!”
With a brief explanation, Hwangbo Hyoseon nodded her head, and the two immediately split up to search for Mong-ah.
However, Hwangbo Hyoseon had to stop unexpectedly at an unexpected sight not long after.
“Kang So-hyeop…?”
It was undoubtedly Kang Yoon, who was fighting noisily and knocking down enemies like a three-headed six-armed demon.
Chapter 370 – Sleep Well (2)
No Hee-bang was also amazed by Kang Yoon’s graceful movements, but Hwangbo Hyoseon knew something that No Hee-bang didn’t.
‘Why…? Wasn’t Kang So-hyeop in cahoots with the demons?’
If that was the case, there was no reason for them to fight, but Hwangbo Hyoseon was bewildered by the situation unfolding before her eyes.
“So-gyoju?!”
Young Ho-kyung appeared, wearing a loose robe, and drew his sword from its scabbard.
With a swift move of his sword, he knocked down the demon soldiers who hadn’t even touched him, and Kang Yoon, who had grabbed the arm of a demon, threw him away and flew backwards.
And then, he pushed away the hand that touched the ground and stood up straight, constantly retreating from the relentless attacks of the demon sword.
‘Does he not intend to kill?’
If they had faced each other up close, there would have been no way to tell, but from a distance, it was somewhat noticeable.
Although the situation seemed desperate at first glance, Hwangbo Hyoseon was able to recognize that it was a play, thanks to her knowledge that Kang Yoon was originally on the side of the demons and her sharp intuition.
However, to someone who knew nothing, the situation could have looked completely different.
“Stop!”
Mong-ah, who had somehow been rescued by No Hee-bang, ran past Hwangbo Hyoseon with a shout.
But Hwangbo Hyoseon, who was throwing out punches like a shield, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“Hmm… You stopped as you said you would. Is it over now?”
“Ugh…”
Kang Yoon, who was being pushed back by the powerful attacks of the demon sword, was eventually cornered and had a sword pointed at his neck, and Mong-ah lowered her raised hand with a frustrated expression.
Hwangbo Hyoseon was even more confused.
“Did something happen between Mong-ah and Kang So-hyeop?”
As far as she knew, Mong-ah and Kang Yoon had little contact, and they hadn’t said much to each other on this trip, so she thought they had little to do with each other.
But to Hwangbo Hyoseon, Mong-ah’s expression didn’t seem fake.
Meanwhile, the three of them had gathered together with No Hee-bang, who had belatedly joined them, but it seemed unlikely that they would be able to leave this place easily.
