Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 4
Episode 4. A day that is difficult to laugh at (3)
Three months later.
“That’s strange.”
There was a faint smile on the face of the young man who spoke lazily while looking at the window.
“Not three days, not even a month. “It’s been three months and there’s nothing wrong?”
“….”
“The condition has even improved?”
“That’s right.”
The young man tilted his head.
“Is that possible?”
“….”
“Didn’t they say that the stronger a person’s traces of magic are, the more fatal they are?”
“It certainly is.”
“Even if he loses his internal power and his dantian flies, he is still a demon. Traces of demon energy would definitely remain on the body. “Then isn’t it normal to be devastated?”
“….”
“Anyway, he’s an interesting guy. “Even after getting to that point, it’s showing more than expected.”
“…Confucius.”
“hmm?”
“I have one question. “Can I ask you something?”
“Haha, as much as you want.”
“Why are you so concerned about the Three Dukes?”
This is a pretty dangerous question. At least, it was not something that could be easily asked from the perspective of serving one.
The young man chuckled.
“Have you forgotten everything I said a moment ago?”
“yes?”
“When that bastard was struck by the poisonous spell, the head of the blood soul spoke directly.
The probability of recovery is close to zero. They said that even if I was lucky enough to wake up, I would suffer from hemiplegia or mania. But how is he doing now?”
“….”
“It’s always been like that. He always exceeds my expectations. To put it bluntly, how can we know whether he will have grown as much as before in a year?”
“That won’t be possible.”
“I know, me too. That’s not something that can be done with manpower. “I know everything, but it keeps making me anxious.”
“….”
“It’s not just me. Most of the people who fought him are probably anxious. “He’s been so lucky ever since.”
A young man still smiling.
But his eyes were slowly sinking coldly.
“When will Lin come?”
“They say they entered Guangdong this morning. “I believe we will arrive at the headquarters around noon tomorrow.”
“Are you returning to school after half a year?”
“That’s right.”
“Tell him to stop by my room when he comes.”
The young man’s smile deepened.
“I need to check whether the once famous treasured sword is rusted or broken.”

Paang!
Aenghwa, the maid, closed her eyes tightly as the wind rushed in.
Cheon Ha-jin frowned.
“Is this still all there is to it?”
I am not satisfied with the wind pressure of my fist in the air. It was evidence that I had not yet been able to relax my muscles and joints as much as I wanted.
“Well, it’s still worth watching.”
For the past three months, I’ve been working very hard to get this shitty body back to normal.
Really, if it weren’t for Muae-gong, we would have been in big trouble.
Thanks to this, not only the turbidity in the body but also all traces of the remaining magical energy were blown away. It felt like ten years of grime had been swept away.
‘Did you say Jeongantang? I benefited from that a lot.’
They say it’s a decoction that is only allowed for top leaders, so it’s definitely the best.
Didn’t he feel refreshed and energized, as if he had decided to wash away a considerable amount of turbidity and a large amount of demonic energy?
I was able to feel the medicinal power that I had not noticed at first for a couple of months.
The concentrated medicinal power revives the muscles and activates the functions of the five internal organs.
What is most encouraging is that most of the internal injuries have healed. Now I can say that I have achieved a body condition appropriate for my age.
‘okay. all good. It’s all good…’
Cheon Ha-jin grabbed his hair.
‘Aaaah! ‘I want to get out of here right now!’
I didn’t just fix my body for three months.
In order to escape from this hell, I slept less at night and worked hard.
After hearing about Seoryang’s personality, I boldly went out to the front yard and walked around. Thanks to this, I was able to clearly understand the surrounding terrain.
And then what was the conclusion?
‘I can never leave in this condition.’
As many as thirty demons were standing outside the residence as if they had received some order from the higher-ups.
These guys were not just bodyguards. They thoroughly screened who came in and out of this place, and at the same time, they were also the ones who watched over the Three Confucius themselves.
Two months ago, the guard who stopped Cheon Ha-jin, who had made up his mind and was about to leave, said this.
– An order was issued to ban Confucius from going out until he fully recovered. I’m sorry, but you can’t leave any longer.
Since then, I have attempted to go out more than ten times, but have failed each time. The stubbornness of these guys was reminiscent of a rocky mountain where not a single blade of grass could grow.
They are the coldest people in the world, for whom even clumsy bribes and threats do not work.
Cheon Ha-jin, who had been racking his brain and pondering over and over again, came to one conclusion.
‘Let’s fix the body first.’
Are you saying I can’t go out until my body fully recovers? Then you can make a full recovery, right?
I can’t live with this body anyway. In that case, you can use this opportunity to repair your body.
Once I had a clear goal, my recovery gained momentum. I also learned the lesson that a person’s life depends on how he or she thinks.
…If those damn bastards are shaking again this time, I’ll have to beat their legs with a club.
‘Anyway, my body is almost completely healed. ‘I guess I can just say I want to smell the outside air and go out.’
My fists clenched.
‘As soon as you leave, go into the safe house closest to the south.’
Throughout the central plains, there were dozens of safe houses for the world’s best killer.
Half of them were made by Uicheon Maeng, but the other half were secretly made by him himself.
It was built step by step over a period of more than 30 years to prepare for situations after fleeing from Uicheonmaeng.
They stole elixirs, herbs, and all kinds of supplies. Once you get there, it’s only a matter of time before you find your old inaction.
‘I need to get rid of all my valuables and make a living. And then it bounces a little further away from the midfield.’
A snake’s head is better than a dragon’s tail. I will escape from the boring martial arts world and live a life worthy of a king.
Of course, there will be pursuers from the Demonic Cult, but that doesn’t matter.
Not only is no one aware of the existence of the safe house, but if you just get back to your previous inaction, escaping from the pursuers’ eyes is a piece of cake.
You just have to go into the safe house. My real life started from then.
“good. “There’s no need to waste time.”
Cheon Ha-jin muttered solemnly and took off his clothes. I wanted to change into clothes that would be easier to move around in.
“omg!”
Cherry Blossom, whose face was red, hurried out of the room.
‘Why is it like that?’
After watching it for over three months, is this happening again? Did you leave because you didn’t want to see it so much?
Well, that could be possible.
The thought of leaving this place makes me feel good, so I don’t think much of the little things.
Cheon Ha-jin hummed a song, changed into ordinary military clothes, and warmed up here and there.
‘Now, we’re leaving legally. I’m sure they’ve fixed it to this extent, but they won’t pick it up again.’
Cheon Ha-jin walked to the door.
It was then.
flinch!
‘…?’
Cheon Ha-jin’s eyes sank deeply.
Even though a lot of toxins were removed and internal injuries were treated, he still has an ordinary body.
Although we created a new Danjeon, we were not able to build up even a small amount of internal power.
Nevertheless, his senses were scarily sharper than before.
The world’s best killer’s ability is not going anywhere. Even though he couldn’t use his extra senses yet, he was much more sensitive than most ordinary people.
A voice is heard after a while.
“Are you inside?”
“yes? Ah yes! “He’s there, but…”
“Get out of the way.”
“That… I have to tell Confucius first…”
Taaaaaaaa!
“evil!”
Cheon Ha-jin frowned.
Could it be that Ae-Hwa just got slapped?
Grumble!
The door opened roughly and a woman appeared.
Are you twenty now?
It is a beauty that can make anyone of any age or gender amazed.
Even her impenetrably cold appearance felt like a unique charm of hers rather than a flaw.
The atmosphere seems somewhat authoritative and languid.
A voice that perfectly suited the atmosphere flowed.
“long time no see.”
Who are you?
Cheon Ha-jin looked at the woman blankly. It’s hard to say you’re happy to meet someone you don’t even remember, much less tell them to leave.
The woman’s eyes deepened.
“It looks better than I thought.”
“…Oh well.”
“….”
“….”
“Are you going to keep standing like this? “I’d like to have a cup of tea.”
What is this day robbery report? They came in without permission and even asked for my car.
Cheon Ha-jin waved his hand.
“I’m sorry, but come back later. “I have somewhere to go now.”
“…?”
“Please get out of the way for now.”
I don’t know who it is, but now is not the time to flirt. His focus was solely on escaping from Protestantism.
The woman’s face hardened.
Are you asking me to get out of the way?
“Where are you going?”
“I just have somewhere to go. “Don’t block the road, get out of the way.”
“Are you sure you want to go to the religious leader?”
Cheon Ha-jin made a sound of out of breath without realizing it.
What a cult leader. It would be better to fall down with your sword in your mouth. Why am I going to the religious leader?
“no.”
“Then that’s it. “Let’s talk.”
“You said you have somewhere to go.”
“Unless it’s something important enough to meet the leader, you should first talk to me.”
“Ibosho.”
“If you like tea, alcohol is okay. ah! “Is it too much to drink now that my body has reached that point?”
Cheon Ha-jin’s face was distorted.
Where did this monster appear at the historical moment when this episode of True Life begins?
“I don’t understand that.”
“…?”
“Whether it’s tea or alcohol, have it at home. “What are you doing making noise among people?”
“…I beg your pardon?”
“I don’t want to talk too much. Come out. “If you really want to eat anything, I’ll tell the maid, so you can go to sleep.”
What is it?
She was confused as to whether the three princes in front of her were really the same people she knew.
‘Did you go crazy after getting the poison spell?’
She remembered Seoliang from before.
Above a confident expression, eyes burning with ambition that could not be hidden. There were many times when I felt uncomfortable
not only because of his groundless composure and arrogant manner of speaking, but also because
of the beastly side of him that looked at me with lust-filled eyes even though he pretended not to do so.
Where did the man who was so faithful to his desires, who tried so hard to cover it all up with a feeling of ‘ruthlessness’, go?
‘What are those foolish, urgent eyes?’
The woman who was looking at him blankly snapped her fingers.
Perfect!
Cheon Ha-jin’s face became distorted.
Other footsteps are heard beyond the open door.
Soon, two large warriors appeared. At first glance, they were top-notch talents.
The woman said, keeping her eyes fixed on Cheon Ha-jin until the end.
“I’m going to have a deep talk with the Three Dukes. “I don’t know how long it will take, so stop everyone who approaches.”
The two warriors bowed their heads.
“I follow your orders!”
Grumble.
The door was closed.
The woman sat on a chair in front of the table as if it were her own room.
Her figure, with her legs crossed leisurely and her chin up, was very attractive. There was a scent of a mature woman that no man could ignore.
“We’ll have tea later.”
“….”
“Sit. “Don’t we have something to talk about?”
It was then.
Cheon Ha-jin made eye contact with the woman.
The corners of the woman’s mouth rose slightly. It was a relaxed smile that only a person who was superior in a relationship could show.
“You don’t want to talk to me?”
“….”
“But I can’t help it. Because you broke the contract. “I invested in you so far…”
“What is your name?”
“…?”
“You asked what my name was.”
“…I’m just saying this in case you don’t know, but I’m not in the mood to mess around right now.”
“Answer quickly when asked. What is your name?”
The woman’s face became cold.
“I don’t think it’s a joke, but I also don’t think it’s crazy. “What kind of rudeness is this?”
“Despite?”
“No matter how much of a trifle he is, he wouldn’t say something like that to me…”
Cheon Ha-jin walked away without listening to her and threw open the door.
Grumble!
The warriors looked at him in surprise.
“Move.”
“…?!”
“Unless you want to be beheaded for oppressing the leader’s disciples, it would be best to get out of the way.”
The warriors swallowed their saliva without realizing it. The woman’s eyebrows became slightly distorted.
“Hey Samgong….”
“Quick and get out of the way.”
“….”
“Aren’t you going to get out of the way?”
Cheon Ha-jin snorted.
“Look at the loyalty? Okay, I’m just saying let’s admit what we have to admit. I will not regret giving you a reward commensurate with your loyalty. “It’s a cherry blossom!”
“Yes, Confucius!”
A cherry blossom that was standing next to me and fidgeting came running over to me. I was hit so hard that my cheek was swollen red.
Cheon Ha-jin’s voice became cold.
“Tell the outside world that there are converts who oppress and detain the Three Confucius and even threaten him.”
“Ah yes!”
“In addition, let me know that there is an unknown robber who stabbed the three princes’ maid without permission. Do you understand?”
“I obey your orders!”
Cheon Ha-jin laughed evilly.
“I think life is a fair price to pay for your loyalty, but how do you like it?”
