Episode 648 A story from the reign (23) CherryBlossomâs cooking was truly amazing.
It must have been quite a while since I cooked for myself because Iâve been so busy, but my skills have actually improved. More than ten dishes were carefully prepared, and each one was nothing short of a work of art.
Zhong Zhenbaek shook his head.
âMy skills are comparable to those of the imperial palace servants. âIn particular, my skill in handling meat seems to be better than that of the imperial palace servant.â
âHoo? âIâve been drinking cheap alcohol a lot, but after eating high-quality food for a few years, my tongue has become very sensitive, right?â
Zheng Zhongbaek said indifferently.
âEven before I entered the imperial palace, I was a person who loved luxurious food.â
âIs that so?â
âAfter all this, he was the leader of the Sapa martial arts group.â
âStill, isnât it a hundred times better to be the emperorâs sworn brother than to be the leader of the Sapa Martial Forest?â
âIf you say no, His Majesty will be disappointed.â
âWhatâs the point of talking about someone who doesnât exist?â
âYouâre going to get this.â
âGiggles.â
Yeo Kang-hwi said to Aenghwa.
âVice owner. If youâre bored later, why not come visit the main palace? Letâs reserve a spot for a proper guy. âWouldnât it be nice to spend my golden years cooking and drinking with my family?â
Aenghwa just smiled.
Yeo Sang-rin scolded him.
âWhy would I come to the main palace to say something is disappointing about the cherry blossoms?â
âNo, but human life isâ¦â
âArenât you being too pretentious when you ask people to come and stay overnight?â
âKahahahahah! âItâs absolutely not like that.â
âI can see clearly inside.â
âIt seems like heâs become even harsher since he hasnât seen this guy.â
âI used to be like this. âOnii-sama wasnât watching on purpose.â
The two continued to bicker.
Seo-ryang filled Joo Seo-yoonâs cup.
âBy the way, as I said before, itâs been a while since I came home. Why donât you take a break for a few months?â
Joo Seo-yoon smiled. This is because I was grateful for the support that called Shingyo my home.
âI would like to do that too, but I canât.â
âIf Hubei has been stabilized to that extent, wonât it run on its own now?â
âThatâs not the case again.â
Seoliang pointed at Gongyachi with his chin.
âHeâs really good at his job, right? âIf I leave it to you and something big happens, it wonât be too late to go there, right?â
Gong Yachi accepted his words cheerfully.
âWhat you said makes sense, sir. âI will take care of all the little things, so please take a break for a few months as the leader said.â
Zheng Zhongbaek snorted.
âYou make a fuss about not coming, but then you wag your tail in front of the religious leader.â
âIsnât it obvious? âYou are the religious leader.â
âItâs so sad.â
âHaha, now that weâve come this far, what should we do? You just need to sleep less. In addition, the religious leader sometimes sent me medicine, so my physical strength increased even more.â
Joo Seo-yoon smiled.
âWe should try to help Gongya Munju sleep a little more. Still, he is a superior person.â
Xu Liang looked at her as if he was proud of her.
âOkay, if you think so, I wonât say more.â
âA few days is enough. Instead, I will come more often from now on.â
âYouâre welcome anytime.â
Song Sang-baek said while looking at Ma Dong-pil.
âBy the way, I also felt it when I saw you in Hunan Province, but you are really so ruthless, arenât you?â
âyes?â
âThe closer you get to the top, the harder it is to take a step forward. But you have gone beyond common sense. I have become noticeably stronger in five years. âIt truly deserves to be called the best magic sword.â
Ma Dong-pil filed the complaint.
âI am speaking from the bottom of my heart, but I am not the First Sword of Magic.â
âwhy? âBecause there is a religious leader?â
âno. âYou are a person who has escaped such worldly evaluations to begin with, arenât you?â
ââ¦It leaves me speechless.â
Song Sang-baek tilted his head.
âDo you mean to say that there are other swordsmen in the Demonic Murim who are more skilled than you?â
âThatâs right.â
âWho is that?â
âThis is the old man with an iron sword.â
âIron sword? âIron Sword Mazon?â
âThatâs right.â
Wei Hongryeon chuckled.
âTo be precise, when it comes to kendo (åé), our old school is definitely much deeper than that nobleman.â
âHuh.â
âBut⦠if we were to fight to the death, I donât think Master could beat that person.â
Zheng Zhongbaek nodded.
âYes, if itâs a life-or-death situation as a demon, you can beat an iron sword, but if youâre talking about enlightenment as a swordsman, the iron sword is better.â
âTo say that it is better may itself be an insult to Him. In my opinion, the enlightenment of the old man of the iron sword is comparable to or better than that of the sword king of Namgung in the past.â
âHuh! âYou mean that much?â
âThatâs the way I see it.â
Zheng Zhongbaek looked at Seo Liang.
âIs that really true?â
Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.
âIt has to be similar. However, due to the nature of magic arts, it is bound to be more difficult to make sense than the magic arts of the righteous school. If you think about it that way, if Iron Sword had trained in the martial arts of the right faction, he might have surpassed the level of the Sword King.â
âher!â
The Old Great Majon was the strongest Gojin that could be used in the new religion.
However, no matter how much that may be, it was truly amazing that a magician who had mastered magic learned the art of kendo, which can be considered the best in the world. It was a matter of raising oneâs level or the power of martial arts.
âThere are a lot of talented people in Shinkyo.â S~eaÊá´h the ηovÑlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Ma Dong-pil said with a smile.
âI also occasionally exchange sword arguments with the iron sword elder. I feel it every time that happens. âMy shallow understanding does not even reach the feet of the elders.â
âThatâs amazing. âIâm planning to stay for a few days, so Iâd like to meet you.â
âElder Cheolgeomâs personality has become considerably softer. âIf His Majesty King Taejang wants to see you, he will gladly do so.â
âHehehe.â
Xiliang clapped his hands.
âNow, there was so much talk between the good food and the alcohol. âLetâs all have a drink together.â
âItâs good.â
Ching!
Everyone toasted and passed their drinks.
âPuhuaak!â
âCough!â
âKekkeek!â
And more than half of them immediately started drinking.
Xu Liang frowned.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Strange?â
Zhong Zhenbaek looked down at his glass blankly.
âWhat on earth is this drink? Is this the first time in my life that I have ever drank alcohol that is so strong and smells so strange? âThe word is a scent, but isnât this just a stinky smell?â
That wasnât all.
Although Aenghwa struggled to swallow her drink, her complexion turned pale. Ma Dong-pil maintained a calm expression, but the corners of his eyes were trembling, and Joo Seo-yoon blew away the scent in his mouth with an inner attack.
Yeo Kang-hwi completely froze on the spot, and Yeo Sang-rin was even retching on the pavilion railing.
Only Wei Hongryeon was looking at them with puzzled eyes.
âWhy are you doing this? âItâs a bit harsh, but isnât this okay?â
Seo-ryangâs face brightened.
âyes? âNot bad, right?â
âItâs not a good liquor, but itâs still better than the cheap white liquor sold on the market, right?â
ââ¦damn bitch.â
âWhy are you doing this?â
Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.
âSilpanga again.â
âYou mean failure?â
âNo, Master taught me the recipe for the Six Heavenly Heart Pill. âIâm sure Iâm making it as he said, but strangely, it doesnât taste that good.â
Song Zhongbaekâs eyes were bloodshot.
âCould it be that they were testing it on us?â
âWhy is this like this? I served it to myself because it didnât seem too bad to my taste. Do you know how much work I put into making this drink? âItâs disappointing that you donât understand peopleâs sincerity.â
âItâs so honest, so bad, and the taste is so-and-so, so whatâs the disappointment!â
âThese noblemen? hey! itâs okay! Donât drink it! âI donât even know what alcohol tastes like!â
Seo-ryang huffed and put away the bottle.
Aenghwa spoke hurriedly.
âNo, master. âIt was delicious for me.â
âWipe the drool off your chin and lie. âItâs flowing steadily.â
âyes? omg!â
Seoliang let out a sigh.
âDamn, it looks like it was made more delicately than before, but this is such a mess.â
It certainly seemed like the manufacturing method was difficult.
Although it was nothing compared to Cherry Blossoms, Seoryang also had enough skill to cook quite a few dishes. This was because he was very dexterous and had good sensitivity, so he could learn anything quickly.
But this damn six thousand heart wine didnât taste like that at all. I donât know if it even comes close to that taste, but somehow the result is completely different every time.
Seoliang was sad.
âDongpil. âGo and bring me ten bottles of Masterâs sake.â
âAll right.â
After a while, ecstasy appeared on the faces of the group as they drank the alcohol that Lee Cheon-sang personally brewed.
âKya! This is it. âThis is alcohol.â
âOh my god⦠I never thought the dark cloudy sky would look so beautiful.â
âThere is no separate Mureung Island. âThe world looks different after just one drink.â
âWow, I feel like this drink goes well with any snack.â
âIâm in tears. âI was almost sick to my core.â
Xu Liang said bluntly.
âIs the difference that big?â
The group just drank alcohol without answering.
It wasnât just a silent affirmation, I was completely preoccupied and couldnât even hear it.
Seo-ryang shouted loudly.
âOh, you damn things! Drink it all! âJust get out of the eaves and search everything!â
* * *
That night.
Everyone was drunk and they were spread out all over the pavilion.
The temperature was very nice and the scenery was very beautiful. Moreover, since I met close friends after a long time, I woke up and drank alcohol.
Even Zheng Zhongbaek was completely drunk and was sleeping, leaning against the pillar of the pavilion and snoring. He forcibly controlled his inner energy and made him drunk. I could see how comfortable he felt here.
In the end, there were three people who were fine.
âReally.â
Ho Yaoseong smiled with a dull face.
âDo you even know these people? âWhat an honor it is to be drunk in the Demon Godâs Palace.â
Xu Liang chuckled.
âWhat is glory?â
âI think everyone was definitely excited. âI didnât know you could get drunk this quickly.â
âI must have been excited, and I poured myself a drink before I even got over my fatigue.â
âI can definitely feel that all of them like the leader.â
âWhat a shame.â
âEveryone had a good relationship. âIsnât that right?â
âHaha, thatâs right. Now that I think about it, I donât think thereâs any other relationship Iâd look at negatively. âAll the bad relationships have already died or been ruined.â
Ho Yaoseong quenched his appetite.
Ma Dong-pil smiled.
âShall we move them all to their own residences?â
âLeave it alone. âIt looks like heâs about to wake up and drink again.â
âDo you really want me to just leave it alone?â
âDidnât you see these people drinking 6,000 ounces of liquor and their eyes popping out? âI bet Iâm willing to drink it again.â
Xu Liang stood up.
âAre you guys going to drink more too?â
âuh? âDo you not eat it, sir?â
âOf course you eat it. Instead, Iâm going to stop drinking with you guys.â
Ma Dong-pil asked cautiously.
âDo you have any other plans?â
âThereâs no such thing as a promise.â
Xi Liang looked towards the northwest.
If you go ten miles northwest from this pavilion, you will come across a huge forest. And that forest was the most secret place of Shinto religion.
âI have a relationship that I havenât seen in a while. âI think I really need to see it today.â
Xu Liang, carrying two bottles of Six Thousand Heart Juice on his belt, walked out trembling like a lily.
âDonât chase away people because Iâm not there. If you want to drink more, just keep drinking there. Iâll drink in moderation and then come back.â
