The Heavenly Demon Who Reigns Chapter 109 : Beware of Beauties (2)

"..."

Yu Eunseong's gaze turned to Cheon Myeong's hand, which was holding her wrist.

And she soon raised her head and looked at Cheon Myeong again and said.

"I believe I have already answered why I ca here."

"I'm asking again because that wasn't enough of an answer."

"...Then no matter what I say, you won't believe , Young Master."

"That's a matter to be judged after hearing it. Of course, if the answer is the sa as before, I have no choice but to think the sa."

"..."

A brief silence.

As if the world had stopped, the two just stared into each other's eyes.

And as soon as Yu Eunseong opened her mouth, ti began to flow again.

"I understand."

"..."

"If I must say, I ca because I wanted to know more about you, Young Master."

The answer that ca from Yu Eunseong's mouth this ti was different from the first.

However, the answer was too comprehensive.

For Cheon Myeong, the reason why she wanted to know more about him was more important than that answer.

'This is a good situation to captivate a man.'

A beauty as beautiful as Yu Eunseong had co to see him and was speaking in such a way.

Wouldn't a young man be tempted after hearing those words just now?

He might even think that perhaps Yu Eunseong had co to see him because she had a romantic interest in him.

Of course, that was only for a pure young man with little experience.

Although Cheon Myeong also fit into that pure young man category in appearance, his inside was already ripe to the core.

'In the martial world, it's a basic of basics to be wary when a strange woman approaches you.'

Especially the more beautiful the woman is, the more there is sothing.

And that would be the sa for Yu Eunseong coming to see him.

Cheon Myeong asked Yu Eunseong with a strong conviction.

"Why do you want to know about ?"

"..."

As Cheon Myeong asked, Yu Eunseong maintained her silence again.

However, as if she would never let go of her wrist until she gave an answer, the hand holding her wrist was given more strength, and in the end, Yu Eunseong seed to be about to open her mouth.

Creak-.

At that mont, a person who appeared as the door opened.

"..."

At the sound of the door opening, the gazes of Cheon Myeong and Yu Eunseong moved to that side at the sa ti.

Then, Cheon Seong was standing there with a bewildered face.

"H-hyung-nim...?"

"..."

"I ca because you told to... should I go out again?"

Phew-.

Cheon Myeong let go of Yu Eunseong's wrist with a low sigh.

"What do you an, go out? Co in."

"Uh... no! I have that much sense!"

"I don't know what you're misunderstanding. Stop talking nonsense and co in, will you?"

Only after Cheon Myeong said so with an annoyed tone did Cheon Seong cautiously enter the room.

Pour-.

In the anti, Yu Eunseong, who was pouring wine into Cheon Myeong's wine cup.

And she said to Cheon Myeong, getting up from her seat.

"You had a guest."

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes. I will take my leave first, if you'll excuse ."

"You can eat together."

"No. I have already eaten enough."

Saying that, Yu Eunseong bowed her head slightly to Cheon Myeong.

"I ate well. Please tell the cook who made this food so."

"...Okay."

As the greeting ended, Yu Eunseong, who was walking towards the door.

In the middle, she just gave a light nod to Cheon Seong and went out.

Thump-.

'She escaped appropriately.'

Thanks to Cheon Seong coming in, in the end, he could not hear the answer he wanted from Yu Eunseong.

Well, even if Cheon Seong had not interfered, he could not be sure that the real reason would have co out of Yu Eunseong's mouth.

'Yu Eunseong... an unknown woman.'

In a different sense from Su Yeongseong, he could not know her inner thoughts.

If Su Yeongseong had felt a strong malice from the beginning, Yu Eunseong felt separate from that.

But he could be sure of one thing, that she was hiding an inner thought that he did not know.

"Hyung-nim!"

As Cheon Myeong was thinking so, looking at the firmly closed door, Cheon Seong ca up to him in a hurry and sat down.

"Isn't that woman just now Yu Eunseong of the Seong-yu Family?"

"So?"

"Since when?"

"...?"

"Since when have you been in that kind of a relationship with Yu Eunseong!"

He had recognized it when he had been talking nonsense at the door.

Looking at him still talking nonsense, it seed that he was misunderstanding sothing greatly.

"I have no relationship with that woman."

"You have no relationship, but why were you holding her hand? And to think that you two were drinking together... even though I'm younger than you, hyung-nim, I know what I know!"

Did that look like he was holding her hand?

No, depending on the angle, it could look like that.

"That wasn't holding her hand, but... ha, no."

Why was he explaining himself in such a ridiculous situation?

Cheon Myeong was so absurd that he stopped trying to say anything more.

"Hyung-nim, I will understand."

"..."

"No matter how much you are in a competitive relationship with the Five Great Demonic Families, isn't it the love of a man and a woman that overcos that?"

"I said no."

"Rather, it's a good thing. How about you surely recruit Yu Eunseong to your side with your charm on this occasion? With your level, hyung-nim, you can seduce any woman..."

Phew-.

This guy has a personality of misunderstanding things greatly when he misunderstands.

When he recalled the ti he had first t Cheon Seong, it seed that it would be quite difficult to clear up this misunderstanding now.

Woong-.

Cheon Myeong used his internal energy and blocked his ears.

Although Cheon Seong was still chattering on and on to Cheon Myeong, Cheon Myeong could no longer hear that voice, and only then could Cheon Myeong regain his peace of mind.

'Let's just eat.'

If he were to chatter on, he would get tired and close his mouth on his own.

Cheon Myeong thought so and picked up his chopsticks.

Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp-.

"I heard that won are weak to the atmosphere. So if you use that point well..."

Cheon Seong, who was chattering on without rest, and Baekjo, who was pecking at the at without rest.

Cheon Myeong ate his al quietly in between them.

***

Cheon Jin was walking towards sowhere.

Although he was a person who would almost never co out of the leader's palace, the fact that he had co out of the leader's palace and was walking in the middle of the night ant that sothing unusual had happened.

Thump- thump-.

Bang Gitae was also following behind Cheon Jin.

Unlike Cheon Jin's expressionless face, Bang Gitae's face showed quite a bit of seriousness.

Although it had not been long since Bang Gitae had also heard this news, if this was true, it was a truly serious problem.

In order to confirm that fact now, Cheon Jin and Bang Gitae were heading to the place where the incident had occurred.

"..."

The place where the incident had occurred was the Heavenly Demon's secret vault, to be precise, the place located in the innermost part of the Heavenly Demon's secret vault.

In order to enter that place now, the two were passing through the gates from the outside and entering the inside, but as they passed through the gates, Bang Gitae's expression only beca darker.

The traces of corpses that were scattered here and there every ti they passed through a gate.

It could be imdiately known that the identity of those corpses was the gatekeepers who had been guarding the entrance to the Heavenly Demon's secret vault.

'Really... were the Three Sacred Treasures stolen?'

When he had first heard that, he really couldn't believe it.

Had the Three Sacred Treasures ever been stolen since the Demonic Cult was founded?

No, they had not.

Although there had been a few attempts, in the end, they had not been able to enter the innermost part and had all been blocked in advance.

The Three Sacred Treasures were guarded that strictly, and that was the sa now.

It was hard to believe that there was soone who would try to lay a hand on the sacred treasures of the Demonic Cult, and the story that they had succeeded in the robbery was even harder to believe.

"..."

But the traces that were visible as they went further and further inside only increased the credibility of that fact, and in the end, the two arrived at the place where the Three Sacred Treasures were placed.

No, they had arrived at the place where they had been placed.

'T-they're gone...'

Bang Gitae had been in this place in the past.

Although it was stopped now, if one were to pass through the passage guarded by the chanism, the Three Sacred Treasures should have been placed there...

Now, it was just empty, and only the traces of dried blood were left on the floor.

"..."

At that mont, a middle-aged man who was standing there discovered that Cheon Jin and Bang Gitae had entered.

That middle-aged man was Na Yeongsu, the head of the Gate Guarding Hall, who was in charge of the security of the Heavenly Demon's secret vault and the various chanisms in the main headquarters.

Na Yeongsu discovered that the two had entered and tried hard to hide his pale expression and prostrated himself on the floor.

"I-I greet the Leader!"

As Na Yeongsu said that, performing a full prostration, the other people there also followed and prostrated themselves on the floor.

The hands that were placed on the floor were trembling slightly.

And they had no choice but to be so.

The people there, including Na Yeongsu, were all people belonging to the Gate Guarding Hall, and since they had been robbed of the Three Sacred Treasures, which could be said to be the mission of the Gate Guarding Hall, they could all be said to be criminals.

And they were not ordinary criminals.

Criminals who had committed the cri of not being able to protect the Three Sacred Treasures. It would not be an exaggeration to call them great traitors.

"...Explain the situation."

After a long silence, Cheon Jin said for the first ti since he had co here.

As if he had been waiting for that, as soon as Cheon Jin's words ended, Na Yeongsu slightly raised his head and said.

"It seems that the incident occurred in the process of moving the Three Sacred Treasures to the Heavenly Demon's secret vault after the Heavenly Demon Festival ended!"

"..."

"The culprit seems to be Man Jeokseon, the leader of the Guard Corps, and it seems that he carried it out after moving the Three Sacred Treasures to this place..."

"Is that what you should be saying first?"

Cheon Jin's cold voice pierced Na Yeongsu's heart like a dagger.

"So, where are the Three Sacred Treasures now?"

The current whereabouts of the Three Sacred Treasures. Cheon Jin was asking that now.

Na Yeongsu barely cald his trembling voice and said to Cheon Jin.

"T-that is... it seems that Man Jeokseon is still on the run..."

"You an you lost him?"

"Since we have ford a pursuit team now, we will be able to catch him right away!"

"In the end, it ans that the Three Sacred Treasures are still in the hands of that thief."

In the end, those words were the truth.

Since Na Yeongsu knew that, he could not give any answer to Cheon Jin's words.

"And you haven't even sent a pursuit team yet?"

"T-that is..."

"It's no wonder that a thief would think of stealing the Three Sacred Treasures. How lightly would he have looked at our cult, seeing how lax it is?"

"I-I have committed a cri worthy of death!"

"Then you must be punished."

Screech-.

A chill that echoed in his ears.

And in the blink of an eye, Cheon Jin's sword cut Na Yeongsu's neck.

Thump-.

Although the people in the back were still bowing their heads completely, they could vividly know what had happened just now.

And because of that, a fear that was transmitted.

The fear that the next one whose neck would fly off might be them began to dominate their entire bodies.

"...I will postpone taking your lives for a while."

"..."

"If you cannot retrieve the Three Sacred Treasures, then I will take your lives with my own hands."

"As you command!"

Screech-.

Cheon Jin's sword disappeared into its scabbard.

Then, Bang Gitae approached Cheon Jin and said.

"Leader. I will send a pursuit team right now."

"..."

At Bang Gitae's words, Cheon Jin maintained his silence for a mont and was lost in thought. And as if he had finished his thoughts, he opened his mouth.

"...Call Cheon Myeong."

"Did you say to call Young Master Cheon Myeong?"

"Yes."

Why was he telling him to call Cheon Myeong, not a pursuit team?

The situation was urgent now.

So it was a situation where it would not be enough even if he were to order to send a pursuit team right away, but Bang Gitae could not understand Cheon Jin, who was telling him to call Cheon Myeong instead.

"...As you command."

However, the one who gave the order was Cheon Jin, and the one who carried it out was him.

There would be no need for his own understanding in that action.

In order to fulfill his duty, Bang Gitae left that place.
