Chapter 64 : Hocoming
"Huff, huff."
I lay spread-eagled on the floor of the training hall.
"You're quite sothing. To dodge and block all of that."
"I realized through you, Father-in-law, that the North Sea didn't produce Martial Gods for no reason."
The Ice King, Seol Baek-ho, was strong.
If I were going to fight properly, I should have gone full power from the start.
Trying to use petty tricks for no reason, I ended up handing over the flow.
From then on, I used all my strength just dodging and blocking.
From the middle of the duel, Father-in-law also seed excited and swung his sword trendously.
I could have stabbed him once by seeing an opening, but I gave up.
Because this wasn't a life-or-death battle.
A conversation of the body that only n can understand.
We swung swords until we were both exhausted.
"You are still far from enough."
"Yes, it is fortunate that you are truly hale and hearty."
"Do well."
That single phrase 'do well' contained nurous comprehensive anings.
"So, what do you plan to na the baby?"
"......."
It seed it was ti to tell him the truth now.
"That... actually."
Bang!
At that mont, the training hall door opened and the Small Snow Squad and General Manager Seol Su-hyeok entered the training hall.
"Ahem, I clearly told no one to enter."
"Did sothing happen?"
"That... Palace Head."
"Young Master. Please listen carefully."
Wi Ji-yeong and Seol Su-hyeok spoke simultaneously.
"The Ice Queen... has returned."
"The person who will beco your mother-in-law is looking for you."
At the two people's words, Seol Baek-ho and I looked at each other.
***
At that ti.
A guest appeared at the Young Palace Head's Hall.
"Young Palace Head."
The maid guarding the Young Palace Head's Hall recognized Cheon Deung-jin and bowed her head.
"What brings you here?"
"I ca to et the Young Palace Head."
"Was there an appointnt?"
"No. But I really want to et her."
Cheon Deung-jin requested the maid.
Cheon Deung-jin was also sitting at the engagent ceremony hall.
Because of that, she knew the fact that the Young Palace Head, Seol Ye-rin, seed to be pregnant.
Cheon Deung-jin accidentally found out the fact that while people were making a fuss, the Young Palace Head herself was actually alone.
'To be alone at a ti like that.......'
Cheon Deung-jin had experienced through her family that if a woman is left alone when pregnant, all sorts of thoughts co to mind.
That is why she ca despite the discourtesy.
Since it was also a situation where she had to obtain Extre Yin Qi.
"......I will send word inside."
Cheon Deung-jin, who nodded at those words, waited in front of the Young Palace Head's Hall.
"She says you may enter."
Fortunately, permission was granted.
Entering the Young Palace Head's Hall and arriving at the Young Palace Head's room, she discovered a disheveled Seol Ye-rin.
Even the appearance of rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up was beautiful even when seen by Cheon Deung-jin, who was a woman.
"Hello, I am the Young Palace Head of the Potala Palace, Cheon Deung-jin."
"Ah, hello. I'm sorry. Since I just woke up from sleep... I'm a bit out of it."
Slap!
Seol Ye-rin, who slapped her cheeks with her hands once, fixed her posture as if she had co to her senses.
"So, what brings you here?"
"Ah, yes. I ca to tell you congratulations first."
"Yes? Ah, congratulations on the engagent?"
"Congratulations on the engagent too... and since everyone said it seems you are pregnant......."
Trickle... splash.
"Ah, I spilled it."
Because there was nothing to offer, Seol Ye-rin, who was pouring even a glass of water, ended up spilling all the water.
"Are, are you okay?"
"Ah, yes and that is not true."
"Yes?"
"I'm probably not pregnant. I think I was just dizzy for a mont."
"Ah......."
Cheon Deung-jin made a flustered expression at the story that it wasn't pregnancy.
"Then, the people outside right now......."
"So it's a huge problem right now. Is there any good thod?"
"...Young Palace Head is a good person."
"Yes?"
"I think the fact that you can tell this, who is practically a stranger, is really amazing."
At those words, Seol Ye-rin waved her hand and spoke.
"No, it's not. Thank you. Ah, co to think of it, Gaga said that you need Extre Yin Qi?"
At the word Gaga, Cheon Deung-jin's gaze wavered.
"Ah, yes. That's correct. Since Fire Spirit Qi swept through my body. Young Master Hyeokryeon said I need Extre Yin Qi to recover."
"It worked out well just in ti. Shall I transfer it now?"
"Will it be okay?"
"Yes."
Seol Ye-rin, who was about to reach out her hand, hesitated.
"Why is that?"
"Co to think of it...... it is the first ti."
"Yes?"
"I an Lady Cheon is the first person who hasn't frozen while talking with this closely."
Flinch-
Lady Cheon, she says.
Since Cheon Deung-jin had never told Seol Ye-rin that she was a woman.
There was a high possibility she heard this story from Hyeokryeon Yeom.
'He told her... everything.'
Sohow feeling defeated.
"Lady Cheon."
"Yes, yes?"
"Our statuses are similar and although the paths we lived are different, we. How about being friends? Actually, I don't have friends."
Seol Ye-rin reached out her hand to Cheon Deung-jin.
Cheon Deung-jin unwittingly grasped Seol Ye-rin's hand at the kindness of Seol Ye-rin, who had seed like a cold-blooded person.
Shiver-
Extre Yin Qi flowed in through the grasped hands.
***
"It's been a while."
The wife of the North Sea Ice Palace Head, Seol Baek-ho, who returned to the Ice Palace.
The Ice Queen, Hong Ye-hwa, examined the surroundings.
"So, you're saying the engagent ceremony was held yesterday?"
"Yes, that is correct."
Maids were following Hong Ye-hwa.
"It is truly a relief that it wasn't a wedding ceremony."
"We wanted to convey the news but......."
"I know."
There was absolutely no way to contact her.
Because leaving the Ice Palace was a decision she made herself.
"If I knew Ye-rin was cured, I would have returned long ago."
She received the news too late.
"Where is that child?"
"...She is at the training hall."
"Her husband?"
"They are together."
"Really? It seems they beca close already."
The Ice Palace's maids looked at each other's faces.
Are the two close?
If they are close, can they fight while staying up all night?
Because they knew that could be possible if they were martial artists of the North Sea, the maids couldn't help but be confused.
"Where should we guide you?"
"Didn't you say Ye-rin is sleeping?"
Gulp-
The maids couldn't bring themselves to report what happened at the engagent ceremony to the Ice Queen.
It was because they received instructions to keep their mouths shut since it was sothing not even certain yet.
"...Yes, that is correct."
"Hmm, the answer is slow? You are hiding sothing, aren't you?"
Flinch-
"Well, whatever. Since I just need to hear directly from the person herself."
Talking like that, Hong Ye-hwa moved her steps to the training hall.
Although she had been away from the Ice Palace for a long ti, there wasn't anything that changed significantly.
Around the ti Hong Ye-hwa almost reached the training hall like that.
"Wi, Wife. If you had even given notice, I would have gone out to et you in advance."
"Nice to et you, I am called Hyeokryeon Yeom."
Seol Baek-ho and I revealed ourselves in front of Hong Ye-hwa.
"Oh my, you're handso!"
Hong Ye-hwa, who didn't even give attention to Seol Baek-ho, made stand and observed while circling around.
"Pass!"
"Thank you."
She also liked that I answered without being flustered.
"Where did they say they brought such son-in-law material from?"
"......It is the Demonic Cult."
"Ah."
At the word Demonic Cult, Hong Ye-hwa looked back at .
"Hwi's... son?"
At that remark, I began to sweat cold sweat.
I wasn't stupid enough not to notice the fact that the existence of 'Hwi' Hong Ye-hwa ntioned was my father, Hyeokryeon Hwi.
***
Co to think of it, I have never heard about Seol Ye-rin's mother.
Since Seol Ye-rin's mother didn't exist from the ti I first arrived at the Ice Palace.
Since I couldn't even ask if her mother passed away, I didn't bring up even a single word about Seol Ye-rin's mother all this ti.
But seeing her appear in front of my eyes like this.
'I wondered who Lady Seol resembled, turns out she resembled her mother.'
It seed that when Seol Ye-rin ages, she would age gracefully exactly like that.
The problem is.
"Do you know... the Cult Leader?"
"Of course I know."
"He is an existence one cannot not know."
Father-in-law blocked Mother-in-law's words.
'It seems there aren't many people who can call Father's na that easily.'
Are they perhaps love rivals?
Turns out, in their childhood, Father and Father-in-law competed with each other over Mother-in-law, I hoped it wasn't just that kind of soap opera-like developnt.
"Rather than that, how did you return?"
"I heard the story that Ye-rin is holding an engagent ceremony with a son-in-law, so I returned urgently. Shouldn't I prevent her from having misunderstandings like she doesn't have a mom?"
Although she was talking while laughing, Mother-in-law's words seed to have bones.
"Well, anyway, since the wedding hasn't been held yet. Then shall we go et our daughter together now?"
"That... right now she must absolutely rest......."
"Let's go, I will guide you."
I, who blocked it at the source lest he say sothing strange for no reason, took Mother-in-law and began to walk toward the Young Palace Head's Hall.
"Oh my, thank you."
I don't know well yet what kind of person she is.
However, although I saw for a very short mont, I could see Father-in-law finding her difficult.
If the King of the Ice Palace found her difficult to handle, I roughly got a sense of what the feeling was like.
'Father-in-law doesn't seem to take care of her much. She is an acquaintance close enough to call Father by na. Furthermore, a person who wandered around leaving behind a daughter who didn't know when she would die and returned.'
This is all the information I currently know.
Now the most curious part is what Seol Ye-rin thinks of Mother-in-law.
Depending on that direction, my attitude toward my Mother-in-law will be determined.
In front of the Young Palace Head's Hall.
"We ca to et our daughter."
"Ah, right now the Young Palace Head is sharing a chat with the Young Palace Head of the Potala Palace so... I will send word inside."
"Young Palace Head of the Potala Palace?"
It seed Cheon Deung-jin was eting Seol Ye-rin while I didn't know.
Rather than that.
At the word Potala Palace, Mother-in-law's eyes seed to twinkle.
"Then I should go in and see them together even more."
"Ca, calm down. Wife. First, once Ye-rin's permission is granted......."
"Permission... it seems you still overprotect Ye-rin."
Huu-eup.
Mother-in-law took a deep breath.
Soon.
"Ye-rin, this mother has returned!"
Rumble.
A ringing Lion's Roar loud enough to shake the Young Palace Head's Hall resonated.
