Chapter 136 : The Precious Daughter of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult's Lord
Gu Hui, who had left the city, walked through the bustling streets of the city center.
The crowd was bustling.
Hailar was not originally a place with such a large population.
The reason why there were so many people on the streets was because of the upcoming Gyeongcheon Grand Festival.
The Gyeongcheon Grand Festival was the largest martial arts tournament in the world.
Е n̊.ǔmа̃
Martial artists from the nine provinces and eight wildernesses had gathered in Hailar to participate in or watch the Gyeongcheon Grand Festival.
Gu Hui was looking around the inns.

Since he had to keep visiting the Gyeongcheon Demonic Fortress for the preliminary and main rounds for the time being, he needed a place to stay.
He had visited seven inns in Hailar, but Gu Hui could not get a room because they were all full.
All the innkeepers said the same thing.
"I'm sorry, guest. We have no rooms left…."
E ǹů mа̇
"We also have no rooms left…. Due to the reserved guests, it seems unlikely that a vacant room will come out until the Gyeongcheon Grand Festival is over. I'm sorry. It will probably be the same for other inns. It will be difficult to find a room in Hailar…."
Gu Hui realized that it was impossible to find a room in Hailar.
Gu Hui, who was standing on the street, wondering what to do, suddenly felt someone's hand entering his pocket. That hand secretly grabbed his money pouch.
- Seuk.

Gu Hui snatched the man's wrist.
- Teop!
Е ń ŭ m̈á
The one who had attempted the pickpocketing was a boy who looked to be about 15 years old.
The boy's expression became flustered.
He hastily tried to pull his hand out, but Gu Hui's grip was so strong that it was impossible.
The boy had a frightened expression.
The sword hanging from Gu Hui's waist came into the boy's eyes.
He was clearly a martial artist.

He would have his wrist cut off here.
The worst-case scenario was drawn in the boy's mind.
"S-save me, sir…."
Gu Hui, with a calm expression, asked.
"Are you a fellow who lives here?"
"N-no…. I originally live in another village. I came to Hailar because I needed money… My mother is very sick… I was pickpocketing to earn money for her medicine…. Please forgive me just this once…."
Е.n̈u ma . і́ d́
"Another village, where do you live?"
"Th-that is…."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Don't worry. I'm not asking to harm you. I'm asking because I need a place to stay."
Gu Hui let go of the boy's wrist.
The boy said, looking around cautiously.
"The village to the east called Haran is my hometown…."
Е̄ n̊um̂ а . і d
"Is that village also as bustling with people as this?"
"No. Haran is far from Hailar. It's a village that takes five days to reach by camel from here… and over ten days on foot… There probably aren't any people who came to the Great Desert for the Gyeongcheon Grand Festival staying in Haran…. It's too cumbersome a distance to travel back and forth from here…."
A strange light appeared in Gu Hui's eyes.
"Are there inns in Haran too?"

"Yes. There is one…."
"Do you think there will be a vacant room in that inn?"
Е n̆ um а.і d̃
"Yes. There will be…."
Gu Hui said.
"Thank you for telling me. Let's do this. If you guide me to Haran, I will give you your mother's medicine money."
It was impossible to find a room to stay in here. So Gu Hui planned to find a room in the village called Haran.
Other people would not think of staying in Haran because of the long distance, but Gu Hui didn't care.
If it was a distance that took five days to travel by camel, it would be enough in 2 shichen (4 hours) if he rode Heukgu.

The boy's eyes widened.
"A-are you serious?"
"Yes."
The boy prostrated himself flat on the ground.
"Thank you, sir…. Thank you… Sob…."
"Get up."
Е̄ ñ üm̂a
The boy raised his body.
"What is your name?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"My name is Ju I-ryong…."
Gu Hui got on Heukgu's back.
"Get on the back."
Ju I-ryong blinked his eyes.

"Are you really going to Haran on a wild boar?"
"Yes."
"I-it's impossible…. The wild boar's stamina won't be able to carry two people and reach Haran."
"Don't worry and get on."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"……."
Ju I-ryong got on Heukgu's back.
Е̌ n̊ u.m̂а̌
"Which direction should we head?"
"T-to the east…."
Ju I-ryong pointed in the direction with his finger.
Heukgu, who was listening with his ears pricked up, immediately launched himself.
- Pat! Swaeaek!!
As the wind pressure rose, the clothes of the passers-by on the street fluttered.

The passers-by's eyes widened.
"Wh-what was that just now?"
"Wasn't that a pig?"
"What pig."

Heukgu was moving along the road at a stormy speed. Sand scattered in the place where Heukgu had passed.
Е̄ n̊u m а̃.i d̈
The boy, Ju I-ryong, was completely out of his mind. The surrounding scenery was changing in a flash.
Heukgu slowed down in the middle and asked Ju I-ryong for directions, and Ju I-ryong guided him.

After traveling for two shichen (4 hours) like that, Gu Hui's party finally arrived in Haran.
Residents were living in the village, and there were no people wearing the clothes of the Central Plains or foreign lands.
It was incomparably quieter than Hailar.
Gu Hui's party stopped in front of the Geumhong Inn in the village.
Ẅ ë b̂ ǹ о̌ v̀ ěl̀ Ӗn̂u m̌ ӓ
Ju I-ryong, with a blank face, came to his senses and got off Heukgu's back.
Ju I-ryong, who felt dizzy, staggered.
"Are you alright?"
"I-I'm fine."

Soon, Ju I-ryong straightened his posture.
Gu Hui took out his money pouch from his pocket. And he took out three silver taels from the money pouch and handed them to Ju I-ryong.

"It's your fee."
Ju I-ryong's eyes widened.
"Th-this much…."
"It's for the medicine, and with the remaining amount, buy something delicious to eat with your mother."
Shedding tears of emotion, Ju I-ryong bowed his head.
"Thank you, sir…."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
After finishing his thanks, Ju I-ryong left the place.
Gu Hui, who had left Heukgu in front of the building, opened the door, pushed aside the bead curtain, and entered the inn.
Fortunately, there were not many people inside. Only about three people were eating.
The innkeeper approached.
"Welcome."
"It's quiet and nice here. I like it very much."
Ẽ ňu m а .і̌ d
"Ah, are you from Hailar?"
"Yes."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Hailar is very crowded, isn't it? It's probably like plucking a star from the sky to find a room because of the upcoming Gyeongcheon Grand Festival."
"That's right."
"Shall I get you a room? Or would you just like to have a meal?"
"Get me a room first."
W̆ѐḃn̊о̀vе̊ l. Е̇ nů m̂ а̂
"Yes. Please follow me."
The innkeeper gave Gu Hui a guest room on the 2nd floor.
Gu Hui, who had unpacked his bundle, lay down on the bed.
"Hoo… I need to rest a bit."

Gu Hui planned to rest well here and then go to the Gyeongcheon Demonic Fortress tomorrow morning to take the preliminary test.

Early twenties. Long, black hair. A white, beautiful face. Distinct features. A slender figure.
A woman with a beauty that could be called the best in the world was in the room.
She was watching the village residents working through the window.
With the corners of her mouth raised, she muttered.
"It's a really quiet neighborhood. Hailar is too noisy and chaotic. I think I did a really good job coming here. What do you think, Jeok-hwa?"
Suddenly, a voice was heard from the direction of the beam on the ceiling.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"I also think so. A quiet place is probably easier to read people's presences."
"Just be comfortable. Why are you being so uncomfortable?"
"I can maintain my tension only if I am uncomfortable."
"Be comfortable. It's an order."
"...I understand."
The middle-aged woman who was hiding on the ceiling landed on the ground without a sound.
W̃ е̄b̌ṅоv̇ е̊_l̇ Ê ñu̇ ma
She was wearing a red top. Her name was Jeok-hwa.
And the name of the woman with the beauty of the best in the world was Baek Su-ryeon.

She was the precious daughter of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult's lord, the Heaven-Breaking Divine Demon, Baek Jin-cheong.
The Heavenly Demon Divine Cult was the largest power that ruled Xinjiang and was a military group known to have the strongest military power as a single force.
In the martial world, it was called the Demonic Cult.
The reason why Baek Su-ryeon was staying in a room at this Geumhong Inn in Haran was to watch the upcoming Gyeongcheon Grand Festival.
W е́ b n о vë l̂ Ĕ n̂ uḿ а̌
Although the distance from here to the Gyeongcheon Demonic Fortress, where the tournament would be held, was quite far, she chose to stay in Haran because she preferred quiet places by nature.
Jeok-hwa was Baek Su-ryeon's escort warrior.
She was a master with considerable skills, having been the chief team leader of the Guardian Hall.
Baek Su-ryeon said with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to it…. I wonder who will be the winner of the Gyeongcheon Grand Festival."
Baek Su-ryeon was very interested in the fights between martial artists. When she watched the fights of strong people, she could not hide her excitement.
Е n u m ӓ. ї ḋ
"If a martial artist from the cult had participated, a martial artist from the cult would have won."
Jeok-hwa had considerable pride in the divine cult.
However, there was no one among the cult's martial artists who was participating in the Gyeongcheon Grand Festival.
The divine cult was not very interested in the Gyeongcheon Grand Festival.
"That's right. If one of the elders had participated, he would have won right away, right?"
"Even if one of the leaders of the five major military units representing the cult had participated, he would have won."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Baek Su-ryeon changed the subject.
"I'm hungry. Shall we go down to eat soon?"
"Let's do that."
Baek Su-ryeon and Jeok-hwa left the room. And they went down to the 1st-floor restaurant and ordered food.
Baek Su-ryeon scanned her surroundings.
Around them, five people were eating.
Е̄ ňu̇_m̌а.ї d
They all looked like ordinary village residents.
Except for one person.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A man in his thirties with sharp eyes. A sword was hanging from his waist.
His identity was Gu Hui in the form of the Ten Severing Blood Guest.
After resting in his room, he had come down to the 1st floor to have dinner.
Baek Su-ryeon saw the sword hanging from Gu Hui's waist and knew that he was a martial artist.
W е̃ b n̈ô v̈ е ĺ Е́ǹ ū ṁа
And she recognized the clothes of the Central Plains.
'He's from the Central Plains. He must have come to the Great Desert to watch the Gyeongcheon Grand Festival. He must have come all the way to this village because he likes quiet things like me.'
She never thought he would be a contestant in the Gyeongcheon Grand Festival.
That was because if he were a contestant, he would have to take the preliminary test and also go to the Gyeongcheon Demonic Fortress for the main tournament, and it was very cumbersome to travel back and forth from here to the Gyeongcheon Demonic Fortress.

Baek Su-ryeon and Jeok-hwa looked at Gu Hui and thought of him as a ronin or a newcomer to the martial world.
Because he looked to be in his twenties, and his clothes were not fancy.
Ẁе b̀ n̄ о v̇ е l̇. Ѐṅũm̈ȧ
Above all, his aura was ordinary. So they guessed he was a third-rate martial artist.
Meanwhile, a scorpion entered the restaurant through the window.
- Seuseuseu…
The scorpion, moving stealthily.
The place where it stopped was at Gu Hui's feet.
Baek Su-ryeon and Jeok-hwa, who were glancing at Gu Hui, suddenly discovered the scorpion on the floor and their eyes widened.

The scorpions of the Great Desert basically had poison. That poison was strong enough to kill an ordinary person in an instant.
Even if one had learned martial arts, if they were below the second-rate, it was impossible to remove the poison.
Gu Hui's gaze turned to the scorpion next to his foot.
Gu Hui had an indifferent expression.
Suddenly, the scorpion's tail trembled. The stinger aimed for Gu Hui's instep.
- Shik!
Еnùm̀ӓ
The startled Baek Su-ryeon shouted loudly.
"W-watch out…!"

But, it was at that moment.
- U-ttuk!
The scorpion's stinger, which was rushing, suddenly stopped like a stone statue.
Baek Su-ryeon and Jeok-hwa had bewildered expressions.
E̊ n u ma.і̌ ḋ
'Wh-what was that?'
Why did the scorpion suddenly stop its movement?
What was even more incomprehensible was that the man who had witnessed the scorpion's stinger rushing was maintaining a calm expression.
How could that be?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
If a person saw a scorpion's stinger attack, they would naturally either dodge it or step on it to kill it.
But how could that man show such a calm attitude?
Е́ñũm a.. id̆
It was a gaze as if he was sure the scorpion would stop its attack.
The scorpion that had stopped its attack was incomprehensible, and the man who was not agitated was also incomprehensible.
In fact, Gu Hui had deployed the Spirit Command Art on the scorpion.
The scorpion had stopped its movement at his will of 'stop'.
Gu Hui sent his will with the Spirit Command Art.
[Go outside. Go and play in the desert.]

The scorpion, which had turned its body, immediately went out through the window.
- Seuseuseu…
Gu Hui resumed his meal.
Baek Su-ryeon and Jeok-hwa had bewildered expressions.
'That man… it was a gaze as if he had expected the scorpion to stop its attack….'
What a truly strange man.
Е̇ n̆ úm̂ а
Baek Su-ryeon felt curiosity as she stared at Gu Hui.
There was definitely something.

A short while later, Gu Hui, who had finished his meal, stood up from his seat. In his hand was a plate full of boiled pork.
It was something he had ordered separately to give to Heukgu.
Gu Hui left the inn.
Baek Su-ryeon, who was glancing at Gu Hui with curious eyes, had a puzzled expression.
Е́n̂ǔ ṁ ǎ
'What's this? Why is he going outside with a plate of boiled pork…?'
She couldn't understand the actions of that man at all. Unable to contain her curiosity, she stood up from her seat. And she opened the door and went outside to see.
She, who had come out, could see Heukgu with Gu Hui.
Heukgu was gobbling up the boiled pork on the plate.

'Ah, so he brought out the boiled pork to give it to that wild boar.'
Baek Su-ryeon approached Heukgu. She asked Gu Hui.

"Wow… the wild boar is cute. I never thought I'd see a wild boar in the Great Desert. Are you raising this one?"
"Something like that."
"What's its name?"
Gu Hui replied with the name of the Ten Severing Blood Guest.
"Wang Jeong."
"...No. This wild boar's name."

"Ah, Heukgu."
"I see. But, are you really riding this one instead of a horse?"
"Yes."
She could not hide her surprise.
Did he really ride that wild boar all the way from the Central Plains to the Great Desert?
It was amazing.

What a truly amazing wild boar.
"Can I touch it?"

Gu Hui looked at Heukgu.
Heukgu nodded.
He did not want to refuse the touch of a woman with peerless beauty.
Baek Su-ryeon stroked Heukgu's mane.

Heukgu felt good.
Baek Su-ryeon touched Heukgu's body and was amazed.
"Wow… look at the muscles. Jeok-hwa, you try touching it too. The muscles are amazing."
"I'm fine. I have a weak stomach."

Jeok-hwa was covering her nose with her sleeve because of the smell coming from Heukgu's body.
Baek Su-ryeon asked Gu Hui.
W̃ ӗ b̂n̂оv el Е̄ nümа̂
"Can I try riding this one? I've never ridden a wild boar before. I want to go around the neighborhood once…. Please."
Gu Hui's gaze turned to Heukgu.
Heukgu nodded repeatedly.
"Kuik… kuik-iik. (Ahem… that's not difficult.)"
Gu Hui said to Baek Su-ryeon.
"Then try riding it. You might fall, so hold on tight to the chain."

"Alright. Thank you!"
Baek Su-ryeon got on Heukgu's back.
"Jeok-hwa, you get on the back too."
"Uhm… I'm fine. I will follow behind."
Jeok-hwa planned to deploy her lightness skill and follow behind the wild boar to protect Baek Su-ryeon.
She never thought her lightness skill would be slower than the wild boar's speed.
Е nu m̌ а̊
Heukgu, carrying Baek Su-ryeon, slowly moved. He moved at a speed slightly faster than a camel's walk. He began to go around the neighborhood once.
Behind him, Jeok-hwa followed with a relaxed expression.

After half a shichen passed like that, Baek Su-ryeon had a disappointed expression because Heukgu's speed was too slow.
"Heukgu, you're cute, but your running speed is too slow. How did you run all the way from the Central Plains to Haran at this speed?"
It was a mystery to her.
Those words hurt Heukgu's pride.
Wё b n о v е̄ l̂ Ẽn ūm̌ǎ
'Look at this? I was going slowly so you wouldn't get hurt, and what? You dare to ignore me?'
Heukgu, who had suddenly stopped his movement.
He said.
"Kuik? Kuik-iik. Kuik-iik! (Really? Then I'll run fast. Hold on tight to the leash so you don't fall!)"

"Huh?"
Heukgu, who suddenly kicked the ground. His figure was shot out like lightning.

- Paang! Swaeaeeaeeaek!!
A huge wind pressure rose. Baek Su-ryeon felt her breath catch in her throat.
"Hup…!"
Her mouth was wide open.
And Jeok-hwa's eyes widened as if they would pop out.
"Huk!"

She hastily began to chase after Heukgu. She deployed her lightness skill with all her might. But it was so fast that the distance was widening in an instant. Before she knew it, Heukgu's figure had become a dot.
"Huk… huk…."
As Heukgu's figure completely disappeared from her sight, Jeok-hwa had a look of disbelief.
'Wh-what kind of wild boar's speed is….'
She, the escort, had lost the young lady.
With a devastated expression, she cried out at the top of her lungs.
