Possessing a Murim Clan’s Youngest Son - Chapter 12
Episode 12. Hidden Word
Although her conscience pricked her a little when she thought about her dark intention to start a business later…
Anyway, Han Ibi started to learn the old woman’s luxury cooking skills in her spare time.
It was similar to the mindset of wanting to get a license or something while I was in the military.
Of course, just by looking at the other Jeomsoi, they looked like they couldn’t understand Han Ibi, who wanted to learn how to cook, which was a hassle.
Han Ibi lived on her own for quite some time.
However, instead of cooking, it was common to fill ramen with frozen food from convenience store lunch boxes.
There was an inherent feeling of resistance that I didn’t want to worry about such things until I came back tired and overworked.
However, as he received culinary training, he realized that he was a more talented chef than he thought.
After some time, just as I first declared, I reached the point where I could make simple foods like gyoza and somen instead of when my aunt was busy.
However, I was not satisfied with that, and I tried the ‘Pomak (抛幕)’, which is lamb from the sink, and ‘Yangpi (凉皮)’, which is noodles mixed with vegetables and sauce, and ‘Bangbangmyeon (棒棒麵)’, which is characterized by wide noodles and spicy sauce. I learned my back.
Although it has not yet reached the point where it can be sold openly, it has reached a point where the taste and aroma can be imitated to some extent.
Tiriring.
Just in time, another job-specific skill emerged.
[Through faithful mission performance, you have acquired the job-specific skill ‘Splitting Technique.’ You can learn the ability to cook various types of food by combining hapaengsul and recipes.]
Uh… okay…
it’s not bad that they give me something, but I’m seriously doubting what I’m doing right now… .
* * *
It has already been about two months since I served as Jeomsoi, who is not in Palja. I worked as a nurse during the day and looked after Song Myeong-cheon at night.
However, martial arts training was never Gailee either.
Because acquiring a skill does not automatically increase it…
In powerhouses, it is said to be martial arts.
All kinds of talents and geniuses appear in novels and movies, but in reality, we are seeing the results of this series of back-breaking exercises.
Meanwhile, Han Ibi had surpassed Jeomsoi’s assistant and had reached the level of Cheongyu Gaekjan’s unofficial ace.
‘As expected, the level of Korean companies is at the highest level in the world. I did half as much as I did at work, and now they eat it like this here! Wow~ This is what Ace felt like.’
Meanwhile, Song Myeong-cheon’s recovery was also felt to be noticeably faster.
It seemed like the time I spent keeping my eyes open had increased, but soon I was able to sit up with my upper body up.
One evening, after a hectic day serving a group of guests at Bangpa, which appeared to be a dark island.
Song Myeong-cheon was waiting for him at the dorm. Standing up straight on both legs.
Han Ibi said in a happy voice.
“You finally woke up.”
Song Myeong-cheon nodded once and said.
“I tried my best.”
Ahh!
What an ‘effort’ he put in… that old man like stone… that was clearly the maximum display from that person’s point of view. It’s definitely true.
I felt a little overwhelmed.
“How are you feeling?”
“Now I have recovered.”
“I’m so glad!”
“How much time has passed?”
The question is how long it has been since you were sick.
“well. It seems like almost two months have passed. But old man… I’m worried that they might come back again. “Do you know the identity of those guys?”
Song Myeong-cheon had no answer. I just stared blankly at the ceiling.
Awkward silence…
Then I heard a sigh that seemed like the earth was falling apart. Song Myeong-cheon said.
“I’ve been avoiding it for a long time, but it seems like they’ve tracked me down here.”
Han Ibi said in bewilderment.
“Who… do you mean?”
Song Myeong-cheon said while facing Han Yi-bi.
“Takbuyong. It’s him. “He probably instigated it.”
omg! Han Ibi was surprised.
“Tak Tak Buyong?”
“Do you know its name?”
“Ah… yes. I know. “If you are Tak Bu-yong, isn’t he a member of the Shaman faction?”
Yes.
When I read it in Yeomsaji Dream, I remembered the name because it was unique.
In martial arts novels, Taoist shamanism, Buddhist shamanism, and Shaolin are often mentioned as the two major mountain ranges of the righteous faction. Plus, open coriander appears as a seasoning.
These three organizations sometimes appear as protagonists, sometimes as supporting actors, and sometimes as licorice, playing a role in bringing out the serious flavor of martial arts.
It was no different in Yeomsaji Dream.
There were not many scenes in which Tak Buyong, a shamanist scholar, appeared in person… but he
was often mentioned indirectly through the mouths of the characters.
A rare powerhouse magnate and general. Based on his tremendous martial arts skills, he is gaining the trust of powerful players.
In short, it is the symbol of white peach in itself.
But why did he…
‘Now that I think about it, in the original work, Song Myeong-cheon tried to kill Zhuo Bu-yong… Could it have something to do with that?’
At that time, Han Ibi suddenly remembered the battle scene of the vicious Song Myeong-cheon.
The eyeballs turn dark and a strange pattern appears on the forehead…
‘Boom!’
A realization that resonated deeply in Han Ibi’s heart came flooding back to her.
Yes. This old man is Song Myeong-cheon, also known as the Magician.
I was buried in daily life and had forgotten about it until now.
Didn’t the guy who came to the doctor’s office and wielded a soft sword also call him ‘Mage’?
The identity of this person who tears people to death without the slightest hesitation is…
‘Have I come under the control of the ‘Great Demon Head’ who has gone into hiding? He is also being chased by Zhuo Bu-yong, the highest peak of the political faction…’
Then, his position is that of the reclusive Great Demon King…?
Suddenly, I felt cold sweat running down my back.
Song Myeong-cheon said.
“Yes. You know it well. He is a member of the independent faction. And…”
Song Myeong-cheon paused for a moment with his eyes closed, then opened them and spoke sharply.
“…세상에 둘도 없는 개새끼이기도 하지.”
Ah haha. You mean dog… puppy…?
“I see.”
It was then.
Song Myeong-cheon’s infinitely deep and sad eyes met Han Yi-bi’s.
Han Ibi somehow felt a tingling sensation. A sad heart that seems to have fallen into a boundless void.
But something was a little strange.
‘Am I seeing everything in vain?’
It felt like all objects were fading out except for Song Myeong-cheon’s eyes.
Only Song Myeong-cheon’s gaze and his own existence. That was all that remained.
So clearly….
‘Thump thud.’
A sound was heard. This was a completely different sound than before.
What on earth is going on?
The voice of the system was heard.
[A hidden quest was created by deriving the main character’s hidden word “Takbuyong.”]

No! what’s this? System Why are you always so bottomless…
But I couldn’t finish the sentence. This is because he felt his consciousness sinking endlessly.
* * *
Han Ibi felt her vision slowly becoming brighter again. What should I say….
‘It feels dreamy. You can say it’s like watching a black and white movie on an old projector, or like the feeling of scissors being pressed… Or maybe you can say it’s a lucid dream.’
It felt as if I was swimming in the air, and scenes and scenes passed before my eyes, scattering like flashes of light.
Then the place where my eyes stopped was a shabby wooden building in a rural village. It feels like I’m going to collapse at any moment.
There was a scruffy-looking middle-aged man and a neatly dressed young man.
And a boy who looked to be about ten years old was sitting on a chair.
His tightly closed lips seem to reflect his tough personality.
However, there is something about the boy’s face that is unfamiliar.
What should I say… I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere… Ah!
A fleeting thought.
Of course. It’s natural that it looks familiar.
That child is clearly…
‘Mr. Song Myeong-cheon. This is Song Myeong-cheon’s childhood. Unbelievable! Am I dreaming again? What on earth is this weird quest? I’ve been through a lot of board games, but I’ve never heard of such a strange quest. System… System… How much do you have to torture me for me to feel relieved…’
Tiriring.
[Advice: This will end as soon as your identity is discovered, and in return, you will be trapped in the other world forever.]
Hum. He followed me all the way here. No, it was there originally… Anyway, I’m sure the system is watching it, so I need to be careful.
It was then.
The vision suddenly shook explosively and rushed towards Song Myeong-cheon’s childhood child.
Han Ibi was startled and almost screamed out loud.
At the same time, doesn’t the screen, which was entirely black and white like a silent movie, suddenly change into full color?
Plus this feeling. It was like the feeling of a cold chair touching my butt
. It made no sense, but it was true.
So… so to speak, Han Yi-bi is in Song Myeong-cheon’s childhood body.
‘Ahaha. This really… does this make sense… I’m going crazy.’
Then, suddenly, the system’s advice came to mind.
The basic mission is not to be discovered by other characters… Then the middle-aged man spoke.
“Myeongcheon.”
As expected, this child is Song Myeong-cheon.
I have to answer.
“yes.”
“You know… your mother died so vainly…’
Ah. Your mother passed away early.
“… This poor father did his best to raise you and your five younger siblings.”
So, this guy becomes your father. Now that I think about it, it seems a bit similar.
The middle-aged man continued.
“But isn’t it difficult to support the whole family just by renting a small piece of land to farm?”
aha. Mr. Song Myeong-cheon’s family was in such difficult times and he had five younger siblings.
Thank you for your hard work.
“Besides, my back hurt three months ago still hasn’t healed… I’m no different from a beggar wandering around looking for a daily meal.”
For some reason, Han Ibi felt like she needed to at least chime in at this point.
To avoid getting caught.
“Don’t say that. father.”
Then the middle-aged man shook his head and said.
“no. You are really going through a lot. But… can’t we continue to live like this? “Shouldn’t you, at least one person, eat well and live well?”
Then the middle-aged man pointed to the young man sitting next to him and said.
“This person’s name is….”
“Hello? You look smart. “I call him ‘Modaehyeong’.”
The young man interrupted the middle-aged man.
“Our mother and head have been fishing near Zhushan in Zhejiang Province for generations.”
omg. What kind of situation is this… As Han Ibi was looking confused, a young man named Mo Dae-hyung added something.
“Do you happen to not know the meaning of fishing? ha ha ha. It’s no big deal. “We go on boats, catch fish, and sell them at the market.”
Han Ibi said that she realized something at that time.
“By any chance… do you mean going to the island to catch fish?”
Then Mo Dae-hyung opened his eyes wide as if he was surprised and said,
“Oh. You’re a smarter kid than I thought. okay. “There are a variety of locations to catch fish, and although you usually go by boat, they often end up on islands.”
i get it. This is…an absolutely classic version of shrimp fishing.
Because catching fish is so hard, many people avoid it, so they can’t hire people, and in order to fill the shortage of workers, they bring in poor, ignorant boys who live inland…. Argh
. What happens next is so horrible I can’t even talk about it anymore!
At that time, Song Myeong-cheon’s father smiled and said as if he was embarrassed.
“okay. It’s not that hard. Just catching fish. Myeongcheon. You also like going out to the stream and catching fish, right? It’s similar to that. Uh huh. Is it good?”
