Chapter 242 – Chapter 12 – Decision
For a moment, I felt an ominous energy from Mr. Geomhu’s disciple.
Since she had to break up with her anyway, she didn’t think it was a big deal and after saying goodbye to her, she walked away.
The last person I need to see now is…
‘Master.’
Because she was down, I couldn’t talk to her, but I was still able to cheer her up.
-Sreuk
I carefully brushed the hair of the Master who was lying down and just breathing.
I don’t know when I will be able to meet Master again.
There was a possibility that the Heavenly Demon would live with the Master as well, but that was a request from our side.
Do I have to stand right next to me and watch the Heavenly Demon do something like that to me…
‘… I don’t like that.’
I didn’t have the confidence to live like that with Master by my side.
In fact, if the relationship between me and my teacher were under normal circumstances, there would have been a lot of commotion around us.
Yeo So-cheon already knew, Geom-hu felt a great debt to me, and Tang A-young was so overwhelmed by Master that she had no one to talk to.
There was no guarantee that it would work, even for Cheonma.
Even if they see me and Master and call me dirty and harm me, I have nothing to say
If you are looking for an opportunity, it would be better to do so after building up more affinity with the Heavenly Demon.
It would be safer, as Yeo So-cheon said, to make Cheon-ma fall in love with me and make her into an obedient woman who listens to everything I ask for, and then tell her that she wants to see Master.
‘… The problem is that it’s not easy.’
She is a woman who was imprisoned and even gave birth to unwanted children.
I can’t even estimate what the chances of success are.
The original plan I could think of was to give it up since I couldn’t take the lead in bed anyway and take the lead in dating instead.
What does initiative have to do with being locked up?
Leadership is meaningful if you can at least move your body or rebel.
In a situation where you have to eat whatever you are given and spread your legs as you ask, even if you have the initiative, you want to eat something. Today, I just ask you to be gentle.
Or, he might have another plan and make you fall out of love with me and make me abandon you.
‘… It’s really difficult.’
If the former has a low chance of success, then in this case, there is no recovery in case of failure.
I just need to reduce his likeability to the point where he loses interest in me and kicks me out. If I do less, I could end up becoming a beaten husband, and if I go out more, my life could be in danger.
Low-risk, low-return vs. High-risk, high-return situation.
And, given my inclination, the one I would choose was of course the former.
I like to be safe.
‘… If I live, I might be able to meet you again.’
In the end, the path I have to take is to raise Cheonma’s favorability as much as possible while trying to take the initiative.
Well, as long as we get along well, there will always be an opportunity.
If I keep begging for about 10 years, I might get tired and let you meet me at least once.
I don’t know if I will still be in this world until then.
Then.
‘… See you later, Master.’
-Side
With this, I bid farewell to my teacher.
Now all that’s really left is to meet the Heavenly Demon.
I may regret my choice that day, but I decided not to look back.
Rather than leaving my teacher forever, it was better to have even a 1% chance of meeting him again someday.
Although I may have to suffer a bit in the future for that possibility
Well, wouldn’t a woman of Cheonma’s worth be worth the trouble?
First, the appearance itself is close to the ideal type and the hobbies are similar, so let’s think positively.
You never know. If you get to know her, she may be surprisingly kind to her husband.
“Are you ready? Do you have anything to pack and take with you?”
“I tend to carry the things I need with me.”
“Still, I have to do well from now on, but wouldn’t it be better to go through something like a coma? A ring or something.”
“It’s a ring.”
… Then I remembered something I had forgotten.
-Sreuk
“…”
“… What is that ring?”
“… The Heavenly Demon gave it to me.”
“…”
Yeo So-cheon looked at the ring with an expression of bewilderment, then sighed and touched her head.
“… I don’t have anything to prepare. Let’s just go.”
“… Of course.”
It seems that he was at a loss for words after seeing Cheonma’s expression of affection.
“… Oh. And there was something I wanted you to tell me.”
“Who is it?”
“That white witch. She asked me to tell you something while you were unconscious for a moment. She said she would kill you if I spoke to her directly.”
“…”
A story came from someone I really didn’t want to hear.
Of course, I wouldn’t be honest if you asked me if I had only done very good things, such as receiving a lot from the saint and only visiting her when I needed it.
In the first place, didn’t the saintess do that because she wanted something from me?
Not anything else, but my life itself.
The favors the saint gave me were because she wanted me to somehow survive in this dangerous world and eventually come over to their world and live as a stallion, but it could not be said that neither I nor the saint had done pure favor to each other.
In fact, I am now bound by a contract and have to be taken to the other side as time passes.
In any case, in a situation where it is confirmed that I will have to dedicate my life for an impossible time in the next 10 to 20 years, it is impossible to guess how long it will be. I heard that my teacher became like that because of the saint, but will I be okay?
I went through all that trouble to live comfortably at least until I was taken away.
‘… Okay. Well… I probably didn’t do it on purpose.’
Still, I still couldn’t forgive easily.
“What did you mean?”
If you had asked Yeo So-cheon to apologize or persuade her on your behalf, I would hold your head and say something harsh again
“… You said you can be treated however you want, so please call me whenever you need it?”
“… Yes?”
I tilted my head at the answer that was slightly different from what I expected.
“It’s okay to call her only when you need her and treat her like a woman who can be exploited… You can call her when you’re bored or when you’re angry, and it’s okay to use her as an emotional trash can, so she asks you to call her whenever you need her.”
“…”
I didn’t immediately feel angry after hearing this, but it didn’t make me any more angry.
… Well, I don’t know what will happen when I go to the Demonic Church.
Depending on how I am doing, I may really need a saint.
If I go, I have to stay only with Cheonma, and because of the contract, it was impossible to live without saying a word for the rest of my life anyway.
“… Let me think about it.”
For now, I will just leave the possibility open.
Because I still couldn’t easily forgive my teacher for making me do that.
* * *
It didn’t take as long as before to get to Magyo.
Although it is a task to heal the Master, there is no need to take the Master himself. Just taking the fox beads and purifying them will automatically connect to the main body, so just taking the fox beads was enough.
This is possible because the fox bead is actually the teacher’s alter ego.
If I had to take my teacher with me, it would probably have been quite difficult to get there.
Because the work Yeo So-cheon has to do has doubled.
And now, unlike before, there is no need to stop in front of Kunlun
Since the goal was to meet Cheonma anyway, if Yeo Socheon took him right in front of the Demon Bridge, the time to come and go would be shortened considerably.
In the past, the reason I stopped at Kunlun and took a carriage was because I was worried that the Heavenly Demon might sense Lu Xiaoqian, but since we had already come to this situation, there was no reason for Lu Xiaoqian to be wary of the Heavenly Demon.
I thought that if I had to get beaten anyway, I would get beaten quickly, so I flew right in front of the magic bridge.
-Thump thump
‘. Aaaaah…’
The problem was that I was not mentally prepared because it came so quickly.
I was in a state of fainting while being carried here by Yeo So-cheon, so in reality, a long time had passed, and as soon as I closed my eyes at home and opened them, I was in front of the Demonic Bridge.
Just as there is a difference between going in prepared to get an injection and what you feel when the needle is in front of you
Just before I was at home, I was prepared to go to Heavenly Demon, but now that I’m right in front of him, my heart starts pounding, and my breathing becomes shaky.
Do I have to live here from now on?
Do I have to live with a woman with such a strange personality every day?
For an unknown amount of time?
You might even get married here, which hasn’t happened yet…
-Thump thump thump
‘Ahh.’
Before I came here, I did everything I could to pretend to be strong, but it was too much to pretend to be strong when the situation was right in front of me.
To be honest, it’s terrifying.
No matter how hard I ran the happiness circuit, the image I saw in Cheongi that day looked almost like a biological dildo.
It was a dream, but the memory of me being raped by the daughter I gave birth to also kept overlapping.
If I could sacrifice myself to save Master, I would do so, but what if that wasn’t the case?
What if the Heavenly Demon fails to heal the teacher, and I am still captured by the Heavenly Demon?
Then it’s like I just gave up my life?
I didn’t mean to ask to go back now, but it was enough to make it difficult to move forward.
And did he notice my situation?
-Tuktuk
“Why are you looking so hard on your face? Don’t worry too much because everything will be okay. She’s one of the safest places in the world when you’re next to her.”
“… No one will be able to break in.”
“Even if we can’t stop the vampires, you’ll be safe as long as she’s next to you. Just think of it as taking refuge in her safe villa.”
Yeo So-cheon must have been anxious as well, but seeing her try to comfort me somehow, my breathing began to stabilize little by little.
“… Whew.”
“Have you calmed down?”
“… Will you come to save me someday?”
“It may be impossible to rescue him by fighting, but I will try to persuade him.”
“… That’s enough.”
After listening to Yeo So-cheon’s words, she calmed her heart and gathered her thoughts, then moved in front of her.
The soldiers who were watching at the entrance to see if anyone was coming saw us approaching slowly and shouted at us to stop and held out their weapons
I raised both hands and said.
“The Immortal Golden Ghost has come to meet the heaven of Shinism.”
