Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

Episode 417

Bicheonwoong opened his eyes again.

After confirming that my senses were slowly returning, I looked at the scenery that came into view.

The sunlight coming through the broken boards in the same place as last time was strangely bothering him.

I frowned and looked around.

The child was nowhere to be seen.

Maybe he went somewhere, or maybe he abandoned him and ran away.

Bicheonwoong sighed in relief at the thought of being alone.

Bicheonwoong quietly closed his eyes and began to pray.

It felt a bit dangerous as I was alert to something that might happen, but I felt like my body wouldn’t be able to hold out any longer if I didn’t try the exercise.

The weak remaining inner energy circulated around the body and made a circle.

It seemed like my physical condition had improved somewhat just because of that.

When he finished all his training and opened his eyes, the sun was slowly setting.

“It’s a little better.”

Bicheonwoong muttered as he checked his physical condition.

Although it was not enough to move my body too vigorously, I recovered to a certain level.

Bicheonwoong smiled bitterly because he had to be satisfied with that alone for now.

It was at that moment that the shabby door opened.

The child who I thought had run away came inside holding a bowl in his hand. Eventually, he found Bicheonwoong opening his eyes and was startled, so he took a step back.

“Are you awake?”

The child came inside hesitantly. He even kept his head down, probably because he didn’t want to show his ugly face.

Bicheon Woong, who was watching this scene, slowly stood up.

My body hasn’t recovered enough to move.

But I had no intention of staying here any longer.

He still had work to do and he had to get it done.

“Ah…”

Bicheonwoong, who was trying to stand up, stumbled greatly.

Not only was it because he had been lying down for a long time, but his wounds had not fully healed and he was not in a state where he could move yet.

The child who saw this was startled and ran over.

The bowl in my hand fell to the floor and spilled.

The child’s body stumbled and caught the rain with a violent clanging sound.

Then, perhaps because he was startled, he hurriedly stepped back.

“Hi… I’m sorry…”

“Why are you apologizing?”

Rain Cheonwoong frowned as he saw the person suddenly retreating.

For some inexplicable reason, he didn’t seem to like hearing the apology.

He carefully sat down on the bed and glared at the child.

“I… I touched it…”

“…Is that something you should apologize for?”

Bicheonwoong couldn’t understand.

How is it wrong for a child to help an adult who is about to fall? As I was thinking about that, I suddenly realized something and let out a bewildered laugh.

This child’s appearance was truly hideous.

It is clear even when seen from the perspective of a non-cheonung, so would it be terrible in the eyes of other people?

That’s why they live in hiding in remote places like this.

Avoid contact with people as much as possible.

Bicheonwoong, who had been thinking until that point, asked the child if he realized something.

“Are you the one who brought me here?”

“yes.”

The child hesitated and nodded.

When I think back to that time, it couldn’t have been a really big deal. It was by no means easy to move Bi Cheon-woong, who had suddenly fainted, with the help of a child.

The good news was that it was close to home and there was a cart, although it was worn out.

It was quite difficult to move it there in itself, but it took a long time to put it on a cart and bring it here again.

A sigh escaped Bicheonwoong’s mouth after hearing the whole story.

I thought it was the biggest mistake of Bicheonwoong’s life and the most ridiculous thing.

A being called the Five Emperors and revered by many can barely survive with the help of a child?

I will never have my pride shattered like this again.

It was at that moment that another sound was heard.

“That’s funny.”

The child with a ridiculous smile was doing something strange.

I held the fallen dishes in my hands and picked up the food that had fallen on the floor one by one.

The food had already become inedible to humans due to the dust and dirt, but as if he didn’t even care about that, he brought a bowl filled with food and held it out to Bi Cheon-woong.

“You eat it yourself.”

“are you not hungry?”

“I don’t care, so you can eat.” Bicheonwoong also feels hungry. But my stomach isn’t strong enough to eat that kind of food. Also, if he ate that food, there would be nothing for the child to eat.

Judging from the fact that there was something around his mouth, he could tell that the child had used the money from selling the knife to make porridge and feed it to Bicheonwoong.

Of course, it is impossible to know whether the child is full or not.

The child watched Bicheonwoong’s notice and then began to hurriedly put food in his mouth.

It felt like I hadn’t even had a proper meal for a long time. Looking at it, Bicheonwoong frowned. Just by looking at that behavior, you could tell that Bicheonwoong himself had eaten all the food for several days.

‘By the way… I’ll have to get the knife back…’

Bicheonwoong thought without even looking at the child eating.

This is a sword given by no one else but Emperor Tian Wu. The fact that it was sold for only ten iron coins was a ridiculous and laughable situation.

Bicheonwoong shook his head and

erased his thoughts about the sword.

Getting it back was important, but I had to focus on completely healing my body first. If you are unable to move and are attacked by the enemy, it will not end well.

It doesn’t matter if you get the sword back even after your body is completely healed.

As Bicheonwoong was thinking such things, a bowl was held out in front of him. Although it was only a small amount, the child seemed to have filled his stomach and was trying to give him the rest.

Looking at the series of actions, Bicheon Woong shook his head.

“You mean that kid?”

“yes!”

Dansomi, who had settled down in the guest room, quickly ran towards the street with the other children.

However, people did not know where the child had disappeared to and people did not want to talk about the child, as if they were reluctant.

The stall owner frowned as he looked at the three children eating the confectionery and asking questions.

“I won’t say anything else. If it’s about that hideous thing, it will be the same no matter where you go. “No one will tell you, so don’t go around asking unnecessary things.”

“why?”

“There is such a thing, you guy!”

“why?”

“Why?” Ju Ji-yak and Dan So-mi looked at the stall owner intently and asked him, and he sighed and grabbed his head. No matter what I say, they don’t care to listen.

These kids are the most troublesome opponents.

‘They even look like children from well-to-do families…’

You can tell just by looking at the clothes they are wearing.

Not only Ju Ji-yuk, but also Dan So-mi and Hong Jin-rang were wearing clothes made of rare silk, so no matter where they looked, they looked like the children of a high official or a high-ranking person of equal status.

If you look hateful for no reason, it will become a situation that cannot be laughed at.

The stall owner sighed again and sat down as if matching the height of the children.

“That child… is the child of the devil.”

” devil?”

“Yes, there is a reason why the villagers are hissing. Look at that ugly face. Where is the face of a person? “It’s definitely cursed.”

“But maybe it’s just a disease…”

“Where in the world is such a disease? And if it’s an illness, you shouldn’t get too close to it!”

The stall owner got angry and shouted. I didn’t care if I was cursed or not.

Actually, the child’s house was quite famous in the village.

However, after the child’s face changed like that, a huge amount of money was poured into fixing it, and the family declined and fell.

After all, didn’t his parents also die from the same disease not long ago?

It was natural for people to be reluctant.

He is a devil who ate his parents.

Since such words are being exchanged, no one is willing to get close to them.

Just by keeping him alive until now, he’s put up with a lot.

“He even went so far as to sell a strange knife he had picked up a few days ago and get rid of it.”

“A knife?”

“Yes, it was a knife with a strange pattern engraved on it… but it wasn’t an ordinary item.”

The stall owner made a meaningful expression.

Rumors spread widely that the blacksmith had taken it at a low price.

It must have been picked up somewhere, so people were knocking on the blacksmith’s door, saying it was all mine.

“That child gave birth again.”

You never know when blood might spill.

Although I didn’t see the sword in person, I heard it was a very valuable sword.

I had heard people who knew a little about swords talking about how they might get enough money to buy a huge manor.

“Hey…”

“Anyway, don’t go around asking questions about that kid. “You’ll just get glares for no reason.”

The stall owner said that and looked towards the west.

A blacksmith shop was seen not far away.

I whetted my appetite while looking at that place.

The three children glanced at the stall owner and sat down in a huddle some distance away.

One or two of them seemed quite tired, perhaps because they had been wandering around for a long time and learning about them.

Dan So-mi sighed heavily.

“It’s very difficult.”

“I see… Why don’t you go back now? “I don’t think it can be any later.”

Ju Ji-ya glanced at the sky.

By some time the sun was setting.

It will get dark soon. It’s not a good idea to walk around the streets at night with young children, so I thought it would be a good idea to return to the guest house as quickly as possible.

Dansomi was somewhat dissatisfied with that, but it wasn’t wrong.

I really wanted to see that child even once more, but I didn’t want to worry Dan Woo-hyeon.

“Then tomorrow morning….”

“In the first place. “What are you trying to do to find her?”

At that time, Hong Jinrang opened his mouth with an expression of unwillingness.

“I just… wanted to talk…”

“What? Why is your face like that? Where are your parents and where do you live? Aren’t you lonely? Are you hungry? Would you like some of this? “Sounds like that?” Hong Jinrang’s voice was somewhat sharp.

He already knows that he feels sorry for the child, but what can Dan So-mi, who is still a child and not an adult, go to the child, say, or help him?

“Are you going to live together?”

“No…”

“Are you going to fix that face?”

“Isn’t that too…?”

“Then what on earth are you trying to find?”

I fully understand Dansomi’s kind heart. However, if they really wanted to help that child, adults like Dan Woo-hyeon, not Dan So-mi, should have stepped forward.

Considering the atmosphere of this village, Dansomi’s help may actually be harmful to the child.

Hong Jinrang took a step and stood in front of Dan Somi.

Then, with her face right in front of him, he spit out harsh words.

“Don’t try to do what you can’t do.”

That’s what Ju Ji-yak and Hong Jin-rang wanted to say to Dan So-mi for a long time.
