Chapter 19 – Day 19

Day 19

“It’s alright.”

Cheon Seoa smiled and said to the Seven Sword Emperor who immediately apologized.
Her two eyes had already returned to their original ‘dead eyes’.

By the way.

“Of all things, a light dragon. That’s a bit uncomfortable.”

Why were traces of a light dragon seen here?

Cheon Seoa tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand.

The Repair Realm where Cheon Seoa had been active for hundreds of thousands of years.
It consists of three worlds and two skies.

The two skies are, of course, the Great Luo Sky and the Great Demon Sky that Cheon Seoa newly created.

The remaining three worlds were divided into the Lower Realm, the Middle Realm, and the Upper Realm.

The Radiant Dragon Gate, known as Gwangryongmun, is a sect located in the upper realm, founded by ‘dragons’ who all dream of ascending to the Great Luo Heaven.

However, Gwangryongmun, which at first glance seems to use the character for ‘mad’ (狂), actually uses the character for ‘light’ (光).

Nevertheless, the cultivation methods of Gwangryongmun are all tailored for ‘dragons’, so when ordinary human cultivators practice them, their minds are consumed by madness. This is why many cultivators believe the ‘gwang’ in Gwangryongmun refers to ‘madness’ (狂) rather than ‘light’.

Why would such a cultivation method from Gwangryongmun, especially a body refinement technique, be found on Earth?

Could it be.

‘Did another cultivator besides me cross over to Earth?’

It’s not impossible.

If one knows the exact coordinates.
And if one can break through the naturally formed ‘walls’ that prevent different worlds – commonly called dimensions – from colliding with each other, then travel to another world isn’t entirely impossible.

But.

‘I didn’t see any signs of that, though.’

While Cheon Seoa was thinking this, the Seven Sword Emperor spoke up in an anxious state.

“Are you really alright?”

“I’m really fine. More importantly, which group does this ‘child’ belong to?”

“Well, that…”

At Cheon Seoa’s question, the Seven Sword Emperor hesitated to answer.

The reason for the Seven Sword Emperor’s appearance here was simple.
He had discovered that one of the subordinates sent to escort Cheon Seoa had been found with their face skin torn off.

Therefore, worried that something might have happened to Cheon Seoa, he rushed over, only to find that the insect he had just chopped to pieces had dared to grab Cheon Seoa’s neck without knowing its place.

The moment he saw this, overcome with boiling anger, the Seven Sword Emperor, without looking back.

They killed him in pieces without even thinking about investigating the mastermind behind it.

“What a shame.”

Cheon Seoa muttered as if she was genuinely disappointed.

If they had tortured that child who was now a corpse, they could have at least found out ‘how’ he got his hands on the Guanglong Sect’s Soft Body Technique.

Meanwhile, Chilgeomje shuddered violently at Cheon Seoa’s single word, “What a shame.”

“I, I’m truly sorry!”

Chilgeomje apologized again, slamming his head on the ground with a thud.
The posture Chilgeomje took was commonly known as the ‘Wonsan bombing,’ which was one of the infamous harsh treatments even in the military.

To this, Cheon Seoa smiled gently and said.

“I’m really fine, so please get up now. You should think about the eyes of your subordinates.”

With those words, Cheon Seoa gestured, and a faint breeze from somewhere forcibly lifted Chilgeomje’s body.

Only then did Chilgeomje realize that there were not only himself and Cheon Seoa here, but also the subordinates he had sent to bring Cheon Seoa.

Swish-.
Flinch!

Chilgeomje looked at his subordinates groaning in the corner with fierce eyes, completely different from when he was looking at Cheon Seoa.

The rowdy subordinate and the shadow monster who met Chilgeomje’s fierce eyes flinched and shouted.

“I, I didn’t see anything!”
“Me neither!”

The two men shouted even though nothing had been said yet.

However, Chilgeomje silently drew one of the seven swords floating behind his back.

His eyes and those of the slouching young man and the shadow monster filled with terror.

We’re going to die.
We’re definitely going to die!

As the young man and the shadow monster were contemplating ‘death’…

“Is it really necessary to kill them?”

“I’m sorry, but this is a matter of my reputation.”

It didn’t matter if the other Illuminati rulers saw this side of him.

After all, they too had received grace from Lady Cheon Seoa, just like him. Moreover, they had vaguely realized Lady Cheon Seoa’s true identity.

But those two are different.

The Cheon Seoa they know…
And the Cheon Seoa he had told them about was just ‘an important person’ and nothing more.

Just as the Seven Sword Emperor was about to kill the two without hesitation, Cheon Seoa spoke again.

“Then, why don’t you give those two to me?”

“What do you mean…?”

“I’m saying I’ll manage them personally. After all…, I needed some people to take care of me.”

“If that’s the case, I can prepare more suitable people…!”

“I like those children.”

Suddenly, Cheon Seoa’s lifeless eyes were staring directly at the Seven Sword Emperor.
The Seven Sword Emperor, meeting Cheon Seoa’s gaze, pondered for a moment, and then finally withdrew the sword in his hand.

We don’t have to die!

The lanky young man and the shadow monster breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that they had barely survived.

‘Just who on earth is that little kid….’

Could they really change the mind of the Seven Sword Emperor, who was trying to kill them, with just a few words?

They both looked at Cheon Seoa with eyes full of such questions.

“More importantly, it’s getting late. Let’s go to my quarters now.”

The Seven Sword Emperor said to Cheon Seoa.

To be honest, as soon as the Seven Sword Emperor realized that Cheon Seoa had returned to Seoul, he wanted to invite her to his quarters.

It’s just that before he could make contact first, an incident occurred where Gwanghwi happened to make contact with Cheon Seoa.

Unlike other heroes, Gwanghwi was particularly uncomfortable for the Seven Sword Emperor, no matter how powerful he was.

Gwanghwi’s official grade was 2nd class.
Gwanghwi’s official hero ranking was 8th.

However, the nine rulers of Illuminati, and the high-ranking officials of the Hero Association, knew all too well.

That Gwanghwi’s strength was not just a mere 2nd class.
If Gwanghwi were to start revealing his true power in earnest, he would not be ranked merely 8th.

Fortunately, he was able to make contact because Cheon Seoa had left Gwanghwi’s house.

‘Of all things, for such an incident to occur-!’

Crunch-.

The Seven Sword Emperor, continuing his thoughts, gritted his teeth roughly.

If this fact were to be revealed, he would be torn to shreds by the other eight.

No, perhaps he might even be killed by the other eight for the crime of daring to put Lady Cheon Seoa in danger.

Meanwhile, as the Seven Sword Emperor gritted his teeth roughly, the lanky man and the shadow monster trembled with a ‘Heek!’ scream…

“It’s okay. If those kids try to kill you, I’ll ‘once’ protect you.”

Cheon Seoa, speaking to the Seven Sword Emperor, smiled gently.

* * *

“Where is this place?”

“This is the house where Lady Cheon Seoa will live from now on.”

“My house, you say?”

“Yes. I’ve taken care of everything necessary, including the title deed, so you can live comfortably.”

At Cheon Seoa’s words, the Seven Sword Emperor laughed, “Haha!” and replied.

This house was prepared by the Seven Sword Emperor from the moment he first met Cheon Seoa.

In the meantime, luckily, Cheon Seoa said that her hometown was Seoul. And when she said she would go out to Seoul, he was planning to tell her when the opportunity arose.

‘Mara Monk, I didn’t know that old bastard monk would make the first move.’

But, perhaps the heavens hadn’t turned their back on him after all.

Cheon Seoa, who had gone to China following the Mara Monk, had trouble with a Chinese hero (Chinese people call themselves martial artists) and came back to Korea.

While looking for an opportunity like that, the unfortunate incident just now did occur, but.

“Are you satisfied?”

“It’s fine.”

At the Seven Sword Emperor’s question, Cheon Seoa nodded and was busy looking around the house.

Certainly, the house gifted by the Seven Sword Emperor was good.

No, there was something that couldn’t be explained by simply saying it was good.

Basically, the size was just over 200 pyeong, and although it was clearly an apartment, it was a duplex… or should I say two-story?

That was the structure it had.

In addition, the sofa, television, air conditioner, and computer in the house were all top-of-the-line.
The clothes, accessories, and bags in the closet were all luxury items, ranging from millions to tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of won each.

While Cheon Seoa was wandering around the house with sparkling eyes, taking in the sights.

“You know your roles well, don’t you?”

“O-Of course!”
“Thank you for giving us this opportunity.”

The carefree young man and the shadow monster responded to the Seven Sword Emperor’s words.

“It’s not an opportunity I gave you. It’s an opportunity given by the young lady. However…, if something like this happens again….”

A chilling killing intent flowed from the Seven Sword Emperor’s narrowed eyes.
The young man and the shadow monster exclaimed.

“Please trust us! Even if it costs us our lives, we will protect the young lady if such a thing happens!”
“The same goes for me.”

“Good. I’ll be watching.”

With those final words, the Seven Sword Emperor walked towards Cheon Seoa.
The two watched his retreating figure and let out a sigh of relief.

By the way….

“Who on earth is that kid… I mean, that young lady?”

The carefree young man muttered, seemingly unable to understand.

The young man and the shadow monster.
Those two were direct subordinates of the Seven Sword Emperor, so they knew well who the ‘person’ was.

On the surface, he was known as an entrepreneur who built a major corporation with his bare hands.
In reality, he was a monster who had lived since the Japanese colonial era. Furthermore, he was one of the nine rulers of Illuminati, the world’s largest villain organization.

Why would such a Seven Sword Emperor take such a humble attitude towards that little kid?

It was something the two couldn’t understand.

Meanwhile, Cheon Seoa, who had been looking around the house for a while.

“Thank you for the gift.”

She smiled brightly towards the Seven Sword Emperor.
