Now reading: Chapter 157 : Mutual Aid from The Heavenly Demon Who Reigns, a Action novel by InkQuillWrites.

This was the first ti in Cheon Myeong's life that he had co to a place with so much snow.

Everywhere he looked, all he could see were white snowdrifts.

From the mont he had officially entered the territory of the North Sea, it seed that Cheon Myeong was seeing a much larger amount of snow at this mont than he had ever seen in his entire life.

Whoosh-

At that mont, a wind blew from the front.

As much as the snow piled up on all sides, the wind of the North Sea was extrely cold, and thanks to that, Jong Seojun trembled and asked Cheon Myeong.

"Y-Young Master. Aren't you cold?"

"Huh?"

"If you are cold, please tell . I will take off my outer garnt so that you don't catch a cold, Young Master... Achoo-!"

"..."

From the looks of it, it seed that the person who was feeling the coldest here was Jong Seojun.

Although he was sowhat immune to the cold by circulating his internal energy, Jong Seojun would not be able to do so.

Although he was grateful for his concern, it seed that he would have to be the one to take off his clothes for him.

"Should I take off my clothes for you?"

In the end, Cheon Myeong asked Jong Seojun.

Since he was not a martial artist, it would be realistically difficult for him to endure the wind of the North Sea for a long ti at that age.

In this situation, the only thing Cheon Myeong could do was to take off his clothes like this.

"N-no! How could I take your clothes, Young Master..."

"One is fine. I can endure the cold to so extent if I circulate my internal energy."

"B-but..."

It was then.

"Please wear this."

Daeyeoksan, who was riding a horse at the front, took off his outer garnt and handed it to Jong Seojun.

Although Jong Seojun received it in a daze, he imdiately asked with a concerned look.

"Are you alright, Head Guan?"

"Don't worry. I am a man who has grown up in the North Sea since I was born."

"Still..."

"And this is on the warm side by North Sea standards. I was about to take off my clothes because it was hot anyway, so this is perfect."

Daeyeoksan said that and laughed heartily.

Jong Seojun, who was staring at him blankly.

To think that this weather was on the warm side. Although Jong Seojun couldn't easily believe those words, if you just looked at Daeyeoksan's appearance until now, he really didn't seem to be cold at all.

"Then... I will wear it with gratitude."

Jong Seojun said that and put on the fur.

As soon as he put it on, a warmth rose up from his whole body.

As expected of the clothing of the North Sea, the warmth retention was much better than the clothing of the Central Plains.

'He seems to be okay now.'

Seeing that, it seed that there was no need for him to take off his clothes as well.

Cheon Myeong thought so and looked at the front again.

'By the way... what on earth was that look in that person's eyes back then?'

For a mont, Cheon Myeong rembered what had happened before he had left for the North Sea.

Since it was a long journey, Cheon Myeong had gone to Cheon Jin and had gotten his permission first.

Although Cheon Jin had not particularly opposed this journey, the look in his eyes as he had looked at him at that ti was still unforgettable in Cheon Myeong's mind.

"...Go and co back."

Cheon Jin had only said those words.

But since he had felt a different feeling from usual in the gaze that was looking at him, Cheon Myeong was still concerned about it.

'Was that... sadness?'

As he thought that, a hollow laugh ca out of Cheon Myeong's mouth, as if he found it absurd.

That Cheon Jin was sad.

Since he was a person who seed as if not a single drop of blood would co out even if he were stabbed with a sword, Cheon Myeong imdiately erased that thought from his mind.

'Co to think of it... was it from when my mother died that Cheon Jin suddenly lost his emotions like that?'

Before that, although he wasn't very affectionate, he had spent quite a lot of ti with him.

At least he hadn't just been drinking without doing anything like now.

Of course, this was also just a mory that the original owner of this body had, so it was not certain.

"..."

Could it be that what he had felt in Cheon Jin's gaze at that ti was related to Seol Suhwa's death?

Since the North Sea was also Seol Suhwa's hotown, it couldn't be said that it was completely unrelated.

'...I don't know.'

At least, with the appearance of Cheon Jin he had seen so far, it was an unimaginable thing.

To think that that person was still unable to forget Seol Suhwa and was missing her even at this mont.

Since the sense of disparity was too great, Cheon Myeong was denying that fact without realizing it.

'She was a... gentle mother.'

Although her appearance was as white as snow due to the White Disease, her heart was warr than anyone else's.

Because even in his mory, he could only feel warm emotions about Seol Suhwa.

Although she couldn't be said to be his real mother, she still remained in his mory as a person he would want to et at least once even at this mont if she were alive.

'Perhaps because I've co to my mother's hotown. It seems like old mories keep coming up.'

Of course, although this mory could not be said to be entirely his own, Cheon Myeong was still feeling a sense of nostalgia.

There would be no need to deny it.

Since he thought that this mory was also a part of him, Cheon Myeong looked at the land of the North Sea with a gentle gaze.

Pop-

At that mont, Baekjo stuck its head out from Cheon Myeong's bosom.

At that mont, Cheon Myeong, who ca out of his mories and looked down at Baekjo.

Why on earth was the guy who had gone into his bosom because it was cold suddenly sticking its head out?

To think that a guy with so much fur on its body would go into a person's bosom because it was cold, it was really absurd even thinking about it now.

"What is it, Baekjo."

"..."

"We haven't arrived yet, so stay inside."

"Peep-!"

"What?"

You feel sothing?

As Baekjo was suddenly making an incomprehensible sound, Cheon Myeong tilted his head and looked at Baekjo.

"...!"

Suddenly, Cheon Myeong's two eyes widened as if he had realized sothing.

And he hurriedly said to Baekjo.

"Hey! You're not going to poop, are you?"

"Peep?"

"If you're going to poop, co out quickly!"

Cheon Myeong said that and tried to let Baekjo out of his bosom.

However, Baekjo did not co out of his bosom easily, as if it had squeezed in so tightly, and the more that happened, the more urgent Cheon Myeong's hand gestures beca.

"This pig-bird... how fat have you gotten that you can't co out like this!"

"Peep, peep-!"

"What? You're not fat, you've grown?"

Then the amount you poop must have also increased a lot.

Thinking that, Cheon Myeong hurriedly grabbed Baekjo with both hands and pulled it out as if pulling out a radish.

Pop-

Baekjo, who had finally co out of Cheon Myeong's bosom.

Compared to the past, Baekjo had grown to a truly surprising extent.

Isn't it almost the sa as an average adult's forearm now?

Of course, although he thought it was still a long way off compared to Baekjo's parents, it was true that Baekjo had grown noticeably.

Whoosh-

As soon as it ca out of Cheon Myeong's bosom, the wind of the North Sea greeted Baekjo.

At that mont, Baekjo, who began to shiver.

Although it hurriedly tried to go back into Cheon Myeong's bosom, since Cheon Myeong was holding its body, Baekjo could only struggle in his grasp.

"Peep-!"

"No. You can't co in until you do your business outside."

"Peep, peep-!"

"What, really?"

"Peep-!"

"..."

Only after appealing several tis could Baekjo barely co back into Cheon Myeong's bosom.

"Peep..."

As expected, it's dangerous outside the clothes.

Baekjo was barely able to regain its sense of stability in the warmth felt from its whole body.

"Young Master, by the way, is that bird sothing you are raising?"

At that mont, Daeyeoksan asked Cheon Myeong.

"Yes, I'm raising it. This pig... no, bird."

"...I see."

"Why do you ask? Is there a problem?"

"No. I just asked because it's amazing."

"Right? For a bird, it's so sensitive to the cold. I've never seen a bird like this before."

"..."

That's not what he ant by amazing.

'Well... it's not that important.'

For now, it is a priority to arrive at the Ice Palace as soon as possible for the sake of the Young Palace Lord.

Daeyeoksan thought so and looked at the front again silently.

***

A dark corridor.

Jin Jaseong was walking alone in a corridor so desolate that not a single ray of light ca in.

"..."

Although he was usually called the Heavenly Jade Dragon, as he was walking alone in this dark corridor, the atmosphere felt from his face seed very different from usual.

A look as if he had been consud by darkness.

Although his face was the sa, it seed as if another person was inside Jin Jaseong's body now.

Cheok-

Jin Jaseong stopped in front of a certain door.

A desolate demonic ki felt from inside the room.

The desolate energy that was currently filling the corridor was all flowing out from this room.

"..."

Jin Jaseong looked at the door without a word for a while.

And a faint smile that had appeared on his face.

Nevertheless, although the atmosphere felt from Jin Jaseong's face was sowhat different from usual, Jin Jaseong opened the door and went inside as if it didn't matter.

"...Who is it?"

As soon as Jin Jaseong opened the door and went inside, that voice ca from inside.

As if it were mixed with iron, the voice was quite rough and hoarse, and at a glance, it even felt similar to the sound of a beast.

Swish-

The owner of the voice raised his head while sitting.

Then, the hidden face was clearly visible to Jin Jaseong's eyes.

"...It was you."

The person who was saying that, looking at Jin Jaseong, was none other than Su Yeongseong.

Although he didn't know what had happened in the anti, Su Yeongseong's appearance had changed considerably from before.

His limp hair and hollow eyes looked as if he had just been tortured, and his emaciated bones looked as if they had been carved with a knife.

However, what had changed more than anything else was the energy felt from him now.

The desolate demonic ki that was flowing out to the corridor did not seem like a person whose dantian had been destroyed by Cheon Myeong.

"..."

It seed that Jin Jaseong was not very surprised by Su Yeongseong's change.

Jin Jaseong opened his mouth with a light smile as usual.

"How are you feeling?"

"...Very good."

If you just looked at his appearance, it didn't seem like those words could be true, but Su Yeongseong was smiling as if he were really in a good mood.

Jin Jaseong, who was watching him silently. And with a face where the smile had slightly faded, he said to Su Yeongseong.

"Cheon Myeong."

Flinch-

As that na ca out of Jin Jaseong's mouth, Su Yeongseong's face instantly hardened.

Although he was emitting a sharp montum so much so that one's whole body would freeze just by looking at him, Jin Jaseong continued to speak as if it didn't matter.

"He's left for the North Sea."

"...The North Sea?"

"Yes. I don't know what he went there for, but when he returns to the Heavenly Mountains, Cheon Myeong will be alone."

"...Why are you telling that?"

At Su Yeongseong's question, Jin Jaseong smiled again and said nonchalantly.

"I thought you would be waiting for that news."

"..."

"Was I wrong?"

"...You're right."

A sinister smile was already on the face of Su Yeongseong, who was answering.

But the smile that disappeared imdiately.

At that mont, a sharp montum covered Jin Jaseong's whole body.
