Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulationchapter 236: mysterious person (1)

Seol-Hwi stared at her for a long time with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

At first, it was because of her beauty, and when he got used to it, he was curious as to why she was looking at him, so he could not think of anything to say.

“Does it hurt somewhere?”

Around that time, the woman spoke again. When the other person did not answer, she moved a hand towards Seol-Hwi’s face.

Uh?

The unknown woman touched his face, startling him, which made him grab her hand.

And in an instant, their bodies were tangled up, and her body was pulled down as if lying on his side. And this ended up being more embarrassing for Seol-Hwi.

Chak

Seol-Hwi, who made this situation happen, felt his body stiffen.

If he had been thinking about what to say just a moment back, now he did not even know what the situation had turned into.

Her peerless beauty was fatal enough to take away all his senses just by looking at her.

“Ah!”

Seol-Hwi, who barely came to his senses, carefully pushed her away and got up. It was difficult for him to explain why his heart was beating so fast.

However, it was only then that he realized what he had done.

“T-that… who.”

Seol-Hwi cautiously looked back and let go of her and glanced at her.

“Isn’t that what I asked first?”

“…Ah, right.”

In response to the calm woman’s answer, Seol-Hwi nodded excessively. After that he made up his mind.

“As for me… I am the subordinate of the Earth Demon, the Fourth Disciple of the Heavenly Demon. Not yet a full time member, and I was testing out my skills to know my ability to carry out the mission. Then I met you.”

Seol-Hwi explained his situation in detail.

He was not sure if she was Cheon Miryo… No, he looked certain about this.

“Fourth Disciple?”

She tilted her head at those words, seemed to think deeply, and then smiled.

“Ah. it seems that the sect leader has already received the Fourth Disciple.”

Seol-Hwi readily agreed to her words.

It must have been a long time ago that she disappeared. At least there would have been no Earth Demon back then.

“Interesting. A fight between the disciples of the Heavenly Demon. Huhuh.”

She smiled brightly and stood up from the place. After that, she walked around Seol-Hwi with hands behind her back.

How…

Seol-Hwi admired her face.

It felt so alluring for a woman but beautiful at the same time.

Perhaps because she was in the absolute ranks with martial arts, the smell she gave off too was mysterious.

“But why did you come here?”

Tuk

She stopped walking and asked Seol-Hwi.

“I am here to meet someone special. Someone who can be of great help in the power struggle of the disciples in the future.”

“Who is that?”

Seol-Hwi pondered for a moment at the question of the woman.

Should he just say that he came to meet her? Or should he say that he came to find a person called Cheon Miryo?

He wondered which one would not offend her, or which one would be better to say.

And final, the words which came from Seol-Hwi’s mouth,

“…Miss Cheon Miryo?”

It was to be honest. He wanted to avoid speaking lies now, and while he watched her reaction.

“Me?”

She asked, pointing to herself.

As I thought, it must have been her.

It was as expected. Well, it was the place where his masters came to directly, so who else could this be if not for Cheon Miryo?

“You are Miss Cheon Miryo?”

When Seol-Hwi checked again and asked, she had this subtle expression. Then he stood up and turned his head as he walked somewhere.

Seeing that she had no shoes and her clothes were thin, his face flushed. Her hair came down until her waist and was swaying behind her white clothes.

Oddly enough, the clothes fit her fine. In this cold, such an appearance would make her more mysterious.

Why didn’t she say anything?

She quietly walked around.

She raised her head to look at the sky, and also walked while looking at the ground. By the time she was done walking. She stood ahead of Seol-Hwi.

“Therefore… you mean to take me to the main sect to help the Fourth Disciple?”

“Uh? Ah, yes… I would like to.”

“Do I really have to help? If you are enough to pierce through poisonous veins, embrace nature’s energy, and open the upper dantian… don’t you think that will already be helpful to the Fourth Disciple?”

Uh? Did she find out?!

Seol-Hwi hurriedly responded to her words as he was seen through.

“Unfortunately, my abilities aren’t very helpful. As much as the situation is happening, the one for the Fourth Disciple isn’t that good. And there are just a handful of elders who even follow him. So I came here with a sense of desperation and despair riding on me. If Miss Cheon Miryo can give strength…”

“Phew. No fun…”

“…?”

When she shook her head, Seol-Hwi covered his mouth. It could have made her a bit angry as she frowned and said,

“Then let us do this.”

As if something nice had crossed her mind, she looked at him and made this suggestion,

“Try to persuade me.”

“Uh?”

“Why do I have to help the Fourth Disciple? You came here even destroying my peace and my place which I reside in… shouldn’t you be prepared that much?”

Ah!

Seol-Hwi felt that she was being very sly with her words.

He was not the one who destroyed her place, but it was not like he was unrelated to those who did it.

“And if you cannot convince me…”

She walked one step at a time. As she walked like that, she brought her face close to his, close enough for their noses to touch and continued briefly speaking,

“It will be difficult to get out of here completely.”

“…!”

Seol-Hwi felt the hair on his body stand on end.

At the same time, she was reminding himself of the situation he was in right now.

Hundred lives—

A test, if successful, will give him the most lives. But if he looked at it differently, it would be equal to the difficulty level of its reward.

It meant that convincing her would be difficult.

Absolute unpredictable. It requires something completely out of the box.

Even as Seol-Hwi knew that, he thought and realized it might be impossible to convince her.

Could it have been possible to convince her through conversation in the first place?

So he thought about taking a different approach from the past.

So… he did it.

Thinking of an unreasonable approach which could get him a hundred lives, Seol-Hwi put his lips onto the lips of the woman.

“…”

A short kiss.

After that, Seol-Hwi hurriedly backed away. However, even though they kissed each other, she looked at him with an unchanged expression.

I… what did I do?

When he saw her face after kissing, he realized what he did. Because he realized this could not be solved in an unusual way.

He acted like he was crazy.

“…”

Silence passed. Since it was inside the cave, an excessive silence stayed around.

In the next life…

Seol-Hwi was sure of the future now.

It was judged that the current situation was ruined to an extent, so he decided on what he had to do again.

It made him want to die a little less painfully.

That would be right, because after kissing her, she continued to stare at him for a long time.

“What does that mean?”

After a long time, she asked, and Seol-Hwi was in a situation with his heart pounding, but he did not show it.

“As you can see.”

Moreover, he thought that he would die by her hands at least one time.

Shhhh,

Cheon Miryo stretched out her hand to bring it to Seol-Hwi’s face.

Pat

Seol-Hwi had his wrist grabbed.

Eh, what…

He was a bit taken aback by her actions, but he said nothing. In the meantime, Cheon Miryo was holding his wrist and closed her eyes.

Then she raised her head again and looked at him.

“Ah, lies. If it was sincere then…”

“Uh?”

Seol-Hwi asked, but she got up without giving an answer. And then humming, she disappeared somewhere.

What will happen now?

Seol-Hwi was looking blank as he could not figure out what she was thinking.

At least he seemed to know one thing. She said that the reason she touched was to check the pulse.

“What are you doing there?”

“Did you see anything?”

The masters who disappeared earlier, who were blankly looking at him.

“What is it?”

Seol-Hwi looked at them…

They had colorful grass in hand… at first glance it did not seem like a normal herb.

“Ah, this? They are pills. These are things you cannot easily find in Kangho.”

“Especially those things which are very helpful in getting younger. Would you like one?”

When Cho Ah-ran suggested that, Ack Bi, who looked at Seol-Hwi, had an awkward smile.

She was someone who looked young.

Seeing her eating it even though she was in the form of a girl, it seemed like she had a strong desire to become younger.

“But… Miss Cheon Miryo is alive?”

When Ack Bi looked around and asked, Seol-Hwi answered cautiously,

“She has already come and gone.”

“What?!”

“UH!?”

The two of them looked shocked. They did not expect her to come here.

“How is it? What did she say?”

When Cho Ah-ran asked, Seol-Hwi hesitated for a moment.

Even though he did not expect her to show up, how should he tell them about it?

He kissed her because she was staring too closely, would not that sound like he was a madman?

“Just asking questions… there wasn’t much,”

Seol-Hwi hurriedly answered.

Then Cho Ah-ran nodded like she understood.

“Well, she isn’t one to care much about what is happening in the world.”

“Still, if we messed up the place like this, you need to be held accountable… strange.”

Ack Bi tilted his head.

Seeing this, Seol-Hwi had a question

“Master, by any chance do you know how old she is?”

“Why?”

When he asked, Seol-Hwi had an awkward laugh.

And then, words from Cho Ah-ran came in,

“She is well above the age of 100. It has already been over 50 years since I have seen…”

“Ah…”

Over 100 years old huh.

He finally realized this. However, it did not matter much. If he was dying, he knew that living until 100 was close to impossible.

“Uh? Cheon Miryo.”

“Ah!”

Then Cheon Miryo appeared in front of them.

Seol-Hwi was shocked at how her appearance changed.

If she had been wearing an odd outfit before, now it was a regular one.

Wait, but why was she dressed like this?

“Ah, you were here too?”

No matter what the outfit was, her beauty was still amazing.

Cheon Miryo smiled and spoke again.

“Then we can go together.”

“…Where?”

“To meet the Fourth Disciple of the Heavenly Demon.”

“Uh?”

“…?”

Ack Bi and Cho Ah-ran were shocked. And that was not all.

“Ah, and I will introduce him.”

Cheon Miryo stood next to Seol-Hwi and smiled,

“Everyone greet him, my lover.”

“…?”

“…”

The two masters looked at each other not understanding what was happening.

Seol-Hwi was the most confused but at the same time he thought,

A dog’s death…

There was nothing more to say about this.

The shock and how absurd he felt made him lose his mind.

But if he missed this chance, he would have no other way out.

“My name is Seol-Hwi.”

He finally spoke.

And he added seriously to warriors, Ack Bi and Cho Ah-ran.

“Elders.”
