The schedule in Agyang went by in the blink of an eye.
While the group stayed in Agyang, they continued to stay at Mangyeo Gaekjan, as Namgung Hwaran strongly insisted.
The view from the room was good, and since it was run by Hongran, who could be said to be Namgungmu’s acquaintance and lover, no one complained.
The most memorable thing about the time I spent on Dongjeong Lake was boating in the morning when the sun had just risen.
Agyang’s bustling guesthouses and bases can be seen at a glance, and the other side of Dongdong Lake is covered in fog that has not yet disappeared.
It was a spectacle that could only be seen briefly before the sun fully rose.
“Are we planning to come again next time?”
Namgung Hwaran said, looking behind Yeonsin with a face dripping with regret.
We were now leaving Agyang and heading to Zhangjiajie, also in Hunan.
I answered as I felt the rattling ride of the carriage.
“Of course. Next time I remember, I’ll beg you to go first, so don’t say it’s a bother.”
“Ugh… ”
In return, Namgung Hwa-ran pulled my cheek as he threatened me.
Then he picked me up, who was sitting next to me, and held me in his arms and muttered.
“Anyway, the atmosphere in Akyang seemed a bit chaotic during our stay… I don’t know if the owner of the house, Hongran, will be okay… ”
“It’ll be okay. I heard what the merchants were saying, and it seemed like the bandits had suddenly disappeared. That’s why I said I was preparing to go up again in a hurry.”
I, who knew the context and was the cause of that atmosphere, gently reassured her.
“Really? Great! Then, the guest owner may come to Anhui as originally thought!”
Although he could not be said to be a stranger since he was a member of the same family, Namgung Hwaran was happy about other people’s love affairs as if they were his own.
“After visiting Zhangjiajie, let’s take the Yangtze River back to Anhui. If you stop by Dongdong Lake on the way and tell the story to Hongran Guest Housekeeper, he will finish things up and come to Anhui within a few months.”
“Yes!”
Namgung Hwaran hugged me with a smiling face.
‘It seems like almost half of the time spent traveling by carriage is being held by Namgung Hwaran.’
That’s what I thought as I looked at Namgung Hwaran’s slender arms holding me.
However, since my posture was not particularly uncomfortable, I relaxed my body and leaned back against Namgung Hwaran.
Munchul.
‘… … The texture isn’t bad either.’
With my size in real life, I couldn’t even dream of sitting on top of a woman. It was uncomfortable at first, but soon I decided to just enjoy what I could here.
Because this was an experience that could only be had here.
I raised the corners of my mouth and quietly closed my eyes at the soft sensation I felt on the back of my head.

Tweet ㅡ
Fog filled the dense virgin forests.
An unknown space where you have to raise your head to the limit because you cannot see the top of even the smallest tree.
Strangely shaped rocks rise high through the fog, seemingly piercing the sky.
This was a deep forest in Zhangjiajie, where mysterious and majestic natural scenery continues endlessly wherever you look.
Nearby residents do not set foot in this area because it is difficult to tell the direction in broad daylight due to the dense trees.
“Heo Eok… Huh… ”
A martial arts person wearing uniform full of scratches and tears was running right there.
He was breathing heavily and moving his trembling legs, and his wounds were as severe as his messy clothes.
Blood was continuously flowing from a wound that could not be stopped through the torn clothes, and one eye could not be opened properly due to a large wound across the face.
“Keup… ! Hurry up and report to the department… !”
Although he was bleeding from his nose and mouth due to internal injuries, he was desperately heading somewhere.
No, I was running away from something.
tweet…
Rustle~
“… … !”
The sound of birds and insects that had been continuously hearing the man’s ears stopped and the sound of leaves shaking was heard.
The man, a member of the Yuyeongdae (臾影隊) who collects information on the Murim Alliance, immediately stopped walking and became alert to his surroundings.
If the worst case scenario was that the fleeing target had already caught up with you, it would be better to find the pursuer’s location and respond from the front rather than being hit from behind.
And that judgment turned out to be a very fatal result.
Because his physical condition was already very critical, there was no way he could respond properly even if he blocked the attack head-on.
Poop!
“Ugh… !”
A foot imbued with black magic came out from the side of the man who was constantly wary of his surroundings like a frightened rabbit, and kicked him.
thud!
“Ugh… ! When did they chase me this far… !”
The man, who was blown away by the impact, was able to stop only after hitting a large tree.
The man who had received the attack with his left forearm no longer had any strength and looked at his limp arm and bit his lip.
“Khehe… Did you think it would be possible to escape a tiger in a forest like this?”
A demon who speaks as if he were a tiger.
His legs and fists were fluttering with cloud-like inky magical energy, showing off his presence.
Mine spoke in a growling tone as he looked at the man staggering from the shock of the attack.
“Now… So are you ready to tell us why you were spying on us? Why are there so many people in the midfield who attack without even knowing the subject? That’s also why.”
It wasn’t a very difficult question to answer.
If the political faction had the Murim Alliance, then the Sa faction had the Heavenly Demon Church. Suramun, a faction under the Heavenly Demon Church, appeared in the central plains with a large number of warriors, and the Murim Alliance, which cared about order in the central plains, could not stay still.
Immediately, Yu Young-dae, including men, was dispatched to collect information, and all other sword-teams active outside were called in except in unavoidable cases.
The reason why the armed forces were not dispatched despite the recent news that an enemy with an unusual weapon had appeared in the Yangtze River near Dongjeong Lake was to keep warriors who could deal with Suramun on standby in case of an emergency.
“… … .”
But the man did not open his mouth.
No matter how trivial the question was, as a warrior belonging to the Murim Alliance, a pillar of the political faction, it was against his beliefs to meekly submit to a demon.
Even though the way to escape was now blocked, Mine actually smiled at the man’s eyes that were glaring at her without being at all discouraged.
“Correct. It’s good spirit. If you are a warrior, you must not give up your will until you die.”
However, despite Mine’s praise, the man frowned and instead spat blood-laced spit at Mine.
“Tsk… ! Don’t talk like it’s anything on the subject of blood-crazed demons! Lick up the blood I spit on the ground there!”
“… … .”
Mine lowered her head with a smiling expression and looked down at the spit that had fallen at her feet.
Perhaps because of his injury, the man’s spit did not reach Mine, but it was enough to stimulate his rough temperament.
Huh~ Kwajik!
“Wow… !”
The man looked at the thick forearm that pierced his stomach with trembling eyes.
The demon made a movement that looked like it was bending down for a moment, then lunged at the man and delivered a blow that pierced his abdomen.
Looking at the length of the forearm that was stuck in the stomach, it looked like the arm had even been driven into the large tree behind the man’s back.
‘is it… Have you been making fun of me all this time? ‘
Seeing the demon’s movements that even his eyes could not follow, the man realized that the reason he was able to escape this far was because the demon allowed him to do so.
Feeling his vision gradually turning black, the man mustered up the last of his strength and cursed the demon.
“Crrr… Even if you kill me… What you want… You won’t get it… ”
“Khehe… I wonder if he knows what I want… I already know that there are more rats watching us than you.”
And the man’s eyes, which had been slowly closing, widened as he heard Mine’s leisurely words that followed.
“If you release the rats for no reason, it is certain that they will flock to you in droves later. Was the name of the city in front of me Naebong (来凤)? They’re probably hiding there, so if I kill them all, I’ll be able to wander around in peace for a while.”
“No… ”
The man tried to grab Mine by raising his right hand, which was the only strength he had.
But Mine didn’t even blink and grabbed the man’s neck with his free other arm.
Wood-dud-deuk-!
A demon who crushed a man’s neck with the grip of his powerful hand. He slowly pulled out the arm that was stuck in the man’s stomach.
dump.
The body of a man who could not even close his eyes fell to the floor, and Mine, who had turned his back on the place, began to walk somewhere.
“There is plenty of prey in the central plains… Now I understand why Touma leaves Heaven so often… ”
Mine, Jeong Se-geuk licked the back of his blood-covered hand and revealed his fangs.
