Chapter 80 : Alcohol Tolerance
The Yichang Lecher, Red Ghost, licked his lips upon seeing the mother of the kidnapped child approaching the cave.
"Although she isn't a martial artist, she is already the tenth woman I've done Plucking Yin to Nourish Yang in this way."
At this rate, it seed he could gather enough inner qi to leave Yichang.
Before crossing over to Wuhan, Hubei to perform Plucking Yin to Nourish Yang, Yichang was practically a rehearsal.
As a demonic practitioner, committing cris in the front yard of the Murim Alliance was practically a huge achievent.
'This is the last sacrifice.'
Stupid Murim Alliance bastards. Just because the Murim Tournant opened, they didn't even think to co from Wuhan to Yichang once.
In fact, the Red Ghost was thinking it would be nice if a martial artist ca at least once and fought him.
Because if he luckily won, he could experience a trendous increase in inner qi.
"Hwi! Hwi!"
Grin.
I'll let you et him soon.
The mont the Red Ghost's mouth filled with a smile.
"You dirty lecher bastard."
So woman's voice was heard.
Thwack-
In an instant, imnse pain was felt in his stomach.
Palm?
When he lowered his gaze to look at his stomach, he saw a small palm print stamped on his stomach.
The external injury wasn't a big problem.
The problem was,
'Internal Heavy Hand Technique?'
His qi and blood were completely overturned.
"Y-You impudent!"
Han Seol-bi wrapped both hands with the White Hand Demonic Art and rushed at the Lecher.
At first, she thought he was a simple kidnapper.
Does he intend to make money by kidnapping children? She chased the woman thinking that.
But as she chased, the thought that occurred to her later was the fact that such stories had spread quite a lot in the marketplace.
'If he intended to demand money, he would have demanded money long ago.'
But the story that he didn't demand money ant that ultimately, money wasn't the goal.
'Then is killing the child the goal?'
If children's corpses continued to appear, stories that the child died as soon as the news of the disappearance was heard in the marketplace should have co out.
But no one stopped the woman from looking for the child.
aning there were missing people, but no dead people.
'Those who have experienced it would know, but sotis death is better than disappearing.'
Just like now.
"Hwi!"
Han Seol-bi stared at the child caught in the view of the woman who seed to have lost her mind.
The child was already dead.
"How dare you..."
Putting in the emotions of all mothers in the world grieving over the loss of a child.
"Die."
Han Seol-bi's White Hand touched the Red Ghost.
...Squish.
'Squish?'
Normally, if hit by the White Hand twice, the five viscera and six bowels should have ruptured.
The flabby belly fat blocked the White Hand.
"How dare yoooou!!"
Grab.
Swoosh!
The Red Ghost, who snatched Han Seol-bi's arm, lifted Han Seol-bi up to the sky just like that.
'If she falls like this...'
Because the impact would be imnse, Han Seol-bi tried to attempt a fall break.
Bang!
"Cough!"
Before she could even unfold the fall break, she allowed the Lecher's fist to her abdon in mid-air.
"Dam... nit."
Her vision blurs.
At tis like this, being weak is really annoying.
'She let her guard down.'
A situation where she really didn't expect a strong demonic practitioner to be in a place like this.
At this rate...
The mother of the kidnapped child, and Han Seol-bi herself too.
'Are we dying?'
She thought, perhaps this is the last mont of life.
"S-Save..."
Seeing the child's mother trembling in fear.
Han Seol-bi smiled.
"It will be... okay."
The last mont before her vision went black.
'Hyeokryeon Yeom?'
Why does Unnie's fiancé's face co to mind?
Crack-
"Aaaargh!"
Following that, it seed she heard the Lecher's scream too.
***
The given ti is only one quarter of an hour.
I climbed the highest pavilion in Yichang with the intention of finding the Lecher within one quarter of an hour.
Whoosh-
Even if it's the highest pavilion, it's a three-story pavilion.
I wonder if I can find anything by looking around from such a pavilion.
Still, I wanted to try looking.
I close my eyes and spread my qi.
Hot-
The wind that was blowing fiercely began to change into a warm wind.
The warmth spreading centered on encroaches on Yichang.
If I follow the marketplace I passed by a while ago.
Flinch-
I opened my eyes.
"Demonic Qi, found it."
The Lecher is also a demonic practitioner.
Then I thought the one harboring demonic qi would be sowhere here in Yichang.
For , who was a demonic practitioner from birth, finding demonic qi was a very easy task.
Like that.
"It's here!"
A situation where half a quarter of an hour had passed.
The canyon cave I arrived at by unfolding movent arts in an instant.
Arriving there, I could spot Han Seol-bi just before being slamd into the ground.
Without ti to think about anything, I.
Crack-
Threw a kick.
The sound of sothing splitting was heard.
"Aaaargh!"
Along with the demonic practitioner's scream.
Tap-
"Goodbye."
Roaring flare-
"Urk-"
Fire began to catch on the Lecher's whole body.
I, who finished handling everything in an instant, together with the fallen woman and the children said to be missing.
"Why on earth are you here."
Took Han Seol-bi and ca out of the cave.
"T-Thank you."
The woman took the missing child and went down to the village again.
And I.
"I know you're awake, so get up."
Could face Han Seol-bi.
"It wasn't... a dream."
"What a dream, rather than that, Han Seol-bi. You, why are you here?"
At my question, Han Seol-bi's expression stiffened.
"Can't I... be here! I followed to see Unnie, so what!"
Han Seol-bi had a promise with the North Sea Ice Palace Lord, Seol Baek-ho.
In case the tailing was caught, never say she tailed them and gloss over it.
I noticed imdiately.
"Did the Palace Lord send you?"
Hiccup-
Han Seol-bi started hiccuping, which she didn't usually do.
"I don't know."
"I won't tell Miss Seol, so it would be better to speak honestly."
"I don't know at all."
It's the tactic of feigning ignorance.
"Really? Then you don't know why you chased this Lecher either?"
"......Because she was looking for him so desperately."
At that one word, I sighed.
It's a story that she was tailing us, but seeing the woman looking for the child desperately, she couldn't pretend not to see and looked for the Lecher.
"You really are sothing too."
"...It's agreed not to tell Unnie?"
I nodded.
As I talked about various things with Han Seol-bi, another half quarter of an hour had already passed.
"I will pretend not to know until the end, so if you are going to report to the Palace Lord, I hope you report leaving out unnecessary details."
Leaving those words, I unfolded movent arts again and started moving.
As I left, Han Seol-bi sighed.
She felt she couldn't act normally in front of Hyeokryeon Yeom for so reason.
Rather than that.
'Is this, okay?'
Han Seol-bi was gazing endlessly... at the back of the receding Hyeokryeon Yeom.
The face of Hyeokryeon Yeom, who appeared like a superman riding a white horse when she was almost done in by the Lecher just a while ago, still remained in her mory.
Her face felt hot for no reason.
***
I bought Tanghulu and returned.
Cheon Deung-jin looked back at , who returned in exactly one quarter of an hour after finishing the al.
I did return quickly, but there was sothing slightly bothering.
'His clothes are slightly singed.'
Cheon Deung-jin couldn't know what I did and returned in just one quarter of an hour.
However, Cheon Deung-jin was the only one who recognized that I was using Extre Yang Qi sowhere.
"So, the next schedule?"
But he didn't show it.
I naturally turned my gaze toward Deung Ga-so.
"Let's cross over to Wuhan now. I heard while eating, apparently an event is being held in Wuhan right now."
"Event?"
As I expressed doubt at the word event, Deung Ga-so answered.
"They say a Murim Tournant is unfolding in Wuhan."
***
Murim Tournant.
An event hosted by the Murim Alliance.
It is a tournant where promising righteous faction prodigies gather at the Murim Alliance to compete for supremacy.
"Co, co, it is the last day for participant registration!"
Thanks to that, Wuhan was teeming with people.
Those trying to heighten their status by participating in the Murim Tournant.
Those who ca to watch the Murim Tournant.
And,
"We finally arrived."
Those trying to sightsee Yellow Crane Tower are completely unrelated to the Murim Tournant.
My party visited Yellow Crane Tower as soon as we crossed over from Yichang to Wuhan.
We began to climb the five-story pavilion shining brilliantly in gold.
The Yangtze River seen from Yellow Crane Tower was truly a magnificent sight.
"It is certainly worthy of being called one of the Three Great Towers of the Central Plains."
"Can we loosen the reins and drink tonight, Captain?"
Baek Mu-yong made a happy expression at the thought of being able to drink after a long ti.
"Alcohol at Yellow Crane Tower..."
"Does the Divine Physician sir intend to drink too?"
"If everyone is drinking together, I think drinking enough to wet the throat is good too."
"Alcohol..."
At that ti, Cheon Deung-jin muttered.
"Have you tried drinking?"
As Seol Ye-rin asked at those words,
"Yes, I have."
"Really? Because I have never drunk before."
At those words, everyone's gazes turned to Seol Ye-rin.
"Then you can try drinking today!"
Wi Ji-yeong approached Seol Ye-rin affectionately.
I looked at such Seol Ye-rin pitifully.
Her body condition wouldn't have allowed her to drink.
Truly, everything experienced in this Central Plains tour was a first for Seol Ye-rin.
'Will she be okay?'
-Keke, since she possesses an Extre Yin Body, nothing will happen just because she drank alcohol.
-That's right, I also poured it like water after recovering.
At the Sword Venerable and Demon Queen's words, I nodded.
"What is your alcohol tolerance, Captain?"
At that ti, Eun Bin asked .
"Well. I've never been drunk before so I don't know well."
To an Extre Yang Body, alcohol was practically water.
"Is that true?"
At Tae Un-seo's question, Wi Ji-yeong nodded.
"I did see everyone who drank with the Young Master crawl back ho. I do want to see the Young Master crawl at least once."
At those words, Seol Ye-rin's eyes sparkled.
"That, I might look forward to a little."
"I hope the Young Master (Seol Ye-rin) is careful. Usually, you can get drunk when drinking for the first ti."
"I'll have to drink to know that, I might drink well too, right?"
She probably will drink well.
Since the Demon Queen said she drank like water.
"I bought alcohol!"
Like that, my party climbed Yellow Crane Tower and began to enjoy the elegant lifestyle while drinking the alcohol Yu So-dong bought.
Like that, the night in Wuhan deepened.
And the next morning.
"...Ugh."
Blink, blink.
Seol Ye-rin, who opened her eyes, stared to the side as if she couldn't believe it at all.
Gulp.
She swallowed dry saliva.
'What... on earth happened?'
...When she opened her eyes, she was in Hyeokryeon Yeom's embrace.
