Chapter Index

    Although they did not understand each other, unlike Seoktap, which achieved order and positive results, a chase was taking place near Hocheonan’s lodgings.

    Crash!

    Seogong was busy running between the pillars with his feet moving.

    “He went that way!”

    Seogong, who saw that the fighters had appeared in front of him and blocked the road, turned to the side without hesitation. But Naveen was waiting in that direction.

    “You dug in the ground and played again?”

    Squeak!

    Seogong protested. It was true that the land was dug to make oysters, but it was never for play.

    Even if they were traveling, once they had settled down in one place, digging a burrow, making a nest, and maintaining that nest were essential tasks for the snake.

    But in Navin’s eyes, it just seemed like a joke.

    “Be prepared.”

    Navin, speaking solemnly, held a large comb in his hand. Seogong looked at the chambit and was disgusted.

    Squeak!

    Also, Seogong, who imagined himself being caught and not allowed to go into the ground to become dirty after being thoroughly brushed with that comb, made a fuss.

    Soon, in order to avoid Navin’s comb, Seogong quickly turned and tried to run away.

    Ramo, holding a comb, was already waiting on the retreat.

    “Hold on!”

    While Seogong was hesitating, the two men and the Shibi rushed in.

    Sigh!

    Ho Cheon-an, who heard Seo-gong’s single scream, closed the record he was reading.

    “It’s noisy today too…”

    It has already been three months since I was taken care of at Podalap Palace. Despite Hocheonan’s concerns about bloodshed between the practitioners and spirits of Podalap Palace, the spirits adapted well to Podalap Palace.

    ‘It seems like I’ve gone beyond the point where I’m well-adjusted, but…’

    Ho Cheon-an opened the window and looked outside. My eyes caught sight of Miho, who was lying down on a fluffy carpet, receiving her fur care from her husband and wife, and Seokwoong, who was licking a honey pot. Soon, Seo Gong, who had been caught, was sat next to Miho, and his mud-covered body was combed cleanly.

    Ho Cheon-an closed the bookshelf, looking at Navin who was laughing and chatting while combing Seo-gong’s fur.

    ‘It was long.’

    Over the past three months, Ho Cheon-an has read and interpreted Ranosara’s diagnostic records and the data collected at Podalap Palace for the treatment of arrhythmia.

    And today.

    With this book in my hand, I checked all the information and knowledge remaining in Podalap Palace.

    And since he was able to establish a certain level of treatment based on the data and diagnosis records, Ho Cheon-an, relieved of his worries, went outside, feeling liberated for the first time in a long time.

    Snap! Squeak!

    As Hocheonan approached, Seogong, who was being brushed, cried as if asking for help. Ho Cheon-an also did not have the talent to understand the words of spirits, but he still guessed what Seogong was dissatisfied with, so he opened his mouth without realizing it.

    “Please stop holding on too much. Because spirit creatures never act carelessly.”

    “But grandpa! I don’t even know where Seogong is, who is playing with the dirt, and he doesn’t even come out when I call him!”

    “Um.”

    Snap!

    Seogong, who was complaining wildly, turned his head and avoided eye contact. Ho Tian-an gave up mediation with a bitter smile.

    “So, do you quite like life at Podalap Palace?”

    “Yes!”

    Ho Cheon-an looked at Navin, who was smiling brightly, and felt grateful to Sarah and Ramo.

    While staying at Podalap Palace, Hocheonan was busy reading materials, and it could be said that Sarah and Ramo were the ones who took care of Naveen so that he could enjoy his stay at Podalap Palace.

    “Thank you for taking care of Navin.”

    “Not much to say. Seeing this cute Sarah is my pleasure these days! And the spirits are also really cute. There’s no need to talk about these little guys, and there’s also that big, distracted Seok-woong over there digging into a small honey pot and licking his tongue.”

    “I guess so. Thank you.”

    Three months.

    Over the past three months, Naveen has grown tremendously. Naveen has changed every day since he left on his trip, but after settling in Podalap Palace, even Hocheonan, who had become accustomed to Naveen’s changes, has grown to a surprising extent.

    His height, which used to be one head shorter than his peers, almost caught up to his peers in three months, and his scrawny body gained weight and muscle. As the flow of Qi in the Qi veins became unblocked, the organs and heart that had always been weak began to function fully, and vitality reached from head to toe. The head became shiny, the skin became soft, and the cheeks developed a reddish complexion. all.

    Who would see Naveen as a patient suffering from arrhythmia?

    “I love it so much!”

    “Oh my! Our Navin speaks beautifully too!”

    “Aaaah! Sister!”

    Looking at Navin and Ramo playing together as always, Hocheonan pondered Navin’s words. Did you like life at Podalap Palace that much?

    ‘It’s time to leave, but…’

    Guests have to leave someday.

    Although the threat of blood religion has been eliminated, there is still a long way to go in the journey to stabilize the world.

    However, is it really the right decision to end the happiness of Naveen, who is smiling brightly and having a good time?

    Naveen will definitely be sad if he leaves Podalap Palace. And Ho Cheon-an imagined Navin’s face like that and sighed inwardly. Naveen has only recently left his beloved village. When I told Naveen that I should leave Podalap Palace, which I had a new affection for, he couldn’t stop talking.

    “Grandfather?”

    Navin tilted his head as he looked at Ho Cheon-an, who was looking at him in worry. Seeing that, Ho Cheon-an smiled and came to a conclusion.

    Let’s stay at Podalap Palace a little longer.

    The world was important, but Naveen’s happiness was also important.

    Hocheonan stroked Navin’s head and turned his head towards Ramo.

    “I would like to have refreshments with the palace lord tomorrow. Are you okay?”

    “Hmm…? yes. Let me ask my mother.”

    Navin shot an expectant look towards Ho Cheon-an.

    “Can you make something for me?”

    Navin swallowed his saliva while waiting for Ho Cheon-an’s answer. Life at Podalap Palace was extremely enjoyable, but if I had to point out one thing that was disappointing, it was that Hocheonan did not cook for me.

    The food prepared by the chefs at Podalap Palace was delicious enough, but it was still inferior to Hocheonan.

    “Hehe. Yes.”

    “Wow!”

    Navin is happy and Ramo is confused. Ho Cheon-an laughed as he looked at Ramo like that.

    “You will find out when you come tomorrow.”

    *** ***

    “Hocheonan Daehyup prepared a tea party.”

    “That’s right. Navin looks very excited. Are you a good cook?”

    “Hmm. This is my first time hearing this, but… he is a very talented person.”

    Yesterday, Sara received a report that Ho Cheon-an confirmed all the data. Therefore, I thought that today’s tea party was likely to be an opportunity to express gratitude for checking all the data.

    “Isn’t the seat important?”

    “Of course.”

    Ramo nodded at Sara’s words while thinking of Navin who was excitedly chirping at the fact that Hocheonan was making food.

    The purpose of a tea party is ultimately to promote friendship. The atmosphere should get better if you eat good tea or good food, but it’s not a particularly uncomfortable place, so you’ll be fine as long as you enjoy the conversation no matter how the food tastes.

    As always, the two thought so until they hugged Navin and waited for Hocheonan.

    “You’ve waited a long time.”

    However, that thought disappeared as soon as I smelled the fragrant smell coming from the tray that Ho Cheon-an brought.

    “Elder, what is this?”

    Ramo stared at the light brown round things that relentlessly stimulated his sense of smell. Each one was puffy and shiny.

    “A dish called bread. A dish made using flour and milk.”

    “Is that so…it really has a nutty and soft scent.”

    “Try it one by one before it gets cold.”

    The three people thought as they picked up the bread with their hands. It feels like picking up a cloud. The three people, impressed by the texture that felt more like cotton than food, brought the bread to their mouths.

    The unique soft texture of the bread brought smiles to the faces of the three people.

    Since it was made from flour, I expected it to taste like the grain dough I had been eating, but it was surprisingly soft and clean.

    “It’s surprising that this is a food made from flour.”

    “It’s so fluffy!”

    “I think Naveen’s praise was no exaggeration.”

    “Hehe.”

    Ho Cheon-an lightly laughed at the compliments of the three people. Because the really delicious things start now.

    Ho Cheon-an picked up a small knife and cut the bread. There was doubt in the eyes of the three people. You can cut the bread to make it easier to eat, but why do you cut it into two pieces by inserting a knife from the side?

    The question was soon resolved. This was because Ho Cheon-an opened the lid of the container served with the bread.

    Navin let out an exclamation after checking the contents inside the container.

    “Wow! It’s like a cloud.”

    “It is made from goat milk.”

    What was in the container was fresh cream. Naveen’s expectations were heightened by the cloud-like shape of whipped cream, but the anticipation drained from Ramo and Sarah’s eyes when they heard that it was made with goat milk.

    This exquisite form of fluffy whipped cream, between solid and liquid, was something that Sarah and Rameau had also never seen before, but since they had often encountered cheese and milk, they could well anticipate the taste.

    However, the two people couldn’t help but widen their eyes as they stuffed the bread that Ho Cheon-an gave them with a lot of whipped cream into their mouths.

    The rich sweetness felt in the fresh cream that melts as it passes by your tongue! The two people looked at Hocheonan with their eyes wide open at the violent and clean sweetness that seemed to be transmitted directly from the tongue to the brain.

    “Is this food really made from goat milk? So sweet and soft?”

    “How can it taste so clean…”

    The two people continued to eat whipped cream bread while exclaiming in exclamation. Navin ate the cream bread without hesitation, as if he didn’t even have time to talk.

    “Mahiheyo!”

    Navin, with his mouth full of sugar-filled whipped cream bread, expressed his emotion by flapping his hands and feet vigorously. Ho Cheon-an looked at that and opened the second container.

    What was in the second container was red bean paste.

    “Try this too.”

    The three people hastily stuffed the whipped cream bread into their stomachs and bit into the sweet red bean bread. The three people exclaimed in exclamation at the heavy taste of sweet red beans that filled their mouths.

    It was definitely the same sweetness, but it was a heavy sweetness that was completely different from the light, fluffy texture of whipped cream bread.

    After eating all the sweet red bean bread, the three people took a bite and picked up the bread. Navin greedily put whipped cream on the bread, Sarah carefully spread the bean paste on it, and Ramo thought for a moment and then put the bean paste and whipped cream on it at the same time.

    Each person’s desired ratio. After filling the desired contents, the three people bit into the bread and smiled happily.

    The three people emptied the bread cleanly, leaving only crumbs behind, and laid their bodies on the chairs.

    “Whoa…I ended up overeating without thinking.”

    “If I had known there were such delicious snacks, I would have eaten just a little bit for lunch.”

    “Hehe. I’m glad you like it.”

    Only after the bread ran out did the tea party’s original purpose, the conversation, begin.

    Naveen talked a lot about how Seogong got covered in dirt while digging a hole, and Ramo helped Naveen explain from time to time. Sarah and Ho Cheon-an smiled happily as they listened to Navin’s story.

    “So…!”

    Naveen chatted excitedly and thought. Is it because I ate a snack? I was particularly excited today and a lot of words poured out of my mouth.

    Navin, who was pouring out stories about playing with spirit creatures for a long time, realized why he was so excited.

    Ramo always played with himself. Sara often came to visit Naveen. And even Hocheonan, who was absorbed in research.

    This was because the four people Navin liked were together in one place and laughing.

    “So, Mr. Senior, did you achieve any results?”

    “I think I have figured it out to some extent.”

    “Hehe, you are too humble for someone who cured my oral syllable veins.”

    “Heh heh, that’s…”

    Navin thought as he looked at the three people who were talking to each other.

    He said he wanted to spend the rest of his life playing with these three people in this Podalap Palace.

    “Grandpa! Let’s play with the spirits tomorrow! Aunt Sarah too!”

    Hocheonan and Ranosara smiled and nodded at the anticipation on Navin’s face. Who can refuse when you ask with those sparkling eyes?

    “Definitely! Definitely!”

    “Hehe. Of course.”

    However, the four people’s promise was broken in a way no one expected.

    “Palace Lord! This is a big deal! The trench party is now approaching Lhasa!”

    A force that has been targeting Lhasa ever since they were driven out of Yunnan and settled in this village. trench party.

    They started moving.
