*** ***

Naveen made a firm determination as he set out on his trip.

The journey Naveen experienced was arduous. As soon as I moved my feet, the soles of my feet started to get hot and my legs started to hurt.

However, riding the Hwajeo was not difficult, and I had time to enjoy the refreshing breeze and scenery.

Navin, who was enjoying the scenery comfortably, gathered his will again.

It was because I was slowly getting hungry.

The journey Navin experienced was one of hunger. Tasteless dry food. They had to rely on crops to survive, and there was no way to know when food could be replenished, so they had to eat sparingly while fighting hunger.

Navin ate the chicken broth noodle dish that Ho Cheon-an made until his stomach was full.

Rich chicken broth that is greasy but not greasy at all. And, unable to come to his senses, he inhaled the harmony of the elastic and chewy noodles that were pressed together with the body of Geumgangbulgoe.

Although it was a noodle dish that I ate without difficulty, it was so delicious that I couldn’t stop using my chopsticks.

After that, I stretched out on Hwajeo’s back and dozed off from hunger, and before I knew it, it was evening.

“Let’s see. Their wives provided us with plenty of fresh vegetables and meat, so let’s have sweet and sour pork for dinner tonight.”

Navin, who ate a lot of the fried batter that wasn’t even the slightest bit soggy despite the sweet and sour seasoning and the sweet and sour pork that was bursting with juice, and even licked his mouth with water mixed with red vinegar before he knew it, looked at the darkened scenery and gathered himself together.

The nights Naveen experienced on the road were cold and dangerous.

“I hope you sleep well.”

Squeak!

Kang!

Seogong settled in Navin’s arms, and Miho’s tail, which was positioned like a wall with her body, covered Navin’s body like a blanket.

Warm! It’s fluffy!

Naveen gathered his wits to avoid being intoxicated by the softness and warmth he felt everywhere. From now on, you will be able to sense the presence of wild animals that will harass your sensitive hearing and presence.

however.

There was extreme silence everywhere.

Spiritual creatures are gathered together in groups, so what kind of wild animal would approach them? Even though humans were not beasts, there was nothing that bothered Navin’s hearing and senses when he woke up startled by the presence of wild animals that came and went around humans without hesitation while he was sleeping on the street.

No matter how long he waited, Naveen’s eyes began to slowly close at the sight of an invisible presence.

Through his blurred consciousness, Naveen had this thought.

Maybe…my resolve…wasn’t necessary?

Just like that, the first day of Ho Cheon-an and Navin’s trip came to an end.

It only took a few days for Navin to realize that the trip he had imagined and the trip with Hocheonan and spirits were completely different.

“It was a good meal!”

Naveen shouted energetically and thought.

The rice that Ho Cheon-an cooked today was delicious.

After finishing the fried rice that Ho Cheon-an had prepared, Navin stood up holding the utensils and bowl.

Navin, who packed a bundle with a bunch of dishes to wash, headed to the water’s edge to clean the cooking utensils and pots. Seogong and Miho followed, supporting Navin’s whining bundle with their tails.

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“It’s okay! Somehow I feel full of energy!”

Ho Cheon-an nodded.

Well, I guess so.

It was normal for me to feel full of energy because I mixed herbs into my meals to help me overcome the strong yin energy and balance my body.

Navin’s face was shiny and his cheeks were plump as he ate well and played with the spirits without any worries.

It went without saying that his expression was bright.

Navin, who had washed the dishes cleanly, rushed over to Ho Cheon-an.

“Grandpa! Can I come play with Miho?”

“If you take Seogong with you.”

“Yes!”

Kang!

Miho picked up Navin, and Seogong got on board as if it was natural.

“Let’s go! Today I’m going to pick a bunch of sweet and sour fruits!”

Kang!

Looking at Miho running energetically, Ho Cheon-an also climbed on Hwa-jeo’s back and began his journey.

With Navin joining, there was a slight change in the spirits’ daily lives. Seogong was busy taking care of Navin, who was slowly getting loose and running around on his own, and Miho seemed so happy to have a lively companion that she was busy asking if she was going to play with Navin.

Mukgeum followed behind Navin and watched quietly, and even Seokwoong, Hwajeo, Hwangdan, who only moves underground, and Cheoneung, who only flies in the sky, kept an eye on Navin and took care of him.

It feels like co-parenting.

Underground, on land, in the air. It’s pointless to worry about Naveen’s safety, which is being taken care of in all areas of ground-to-air.

Thanks to that, Ho Cheon-an was able to let Navin run around freely. Even though he was too distracted by playing and went too far away, the spirits took Naveen and followed him.

Also, when people came asking for help in exterminating the remnants of the blood cult, Naveen could be left in the care of the spirits and go around dealing with the blood clots.

Ho Cheon-an smiled happily as he followed Navin, who was feeding some fruit to Mi-ho and Seo-gong in front of him.

Even if a child has a spirit or a good eye, traveling is not easy for a child. It’s so wonderful to see them adapting well to such a trip and running around happily.

Just watching Naveen roam the fields, sometimes ahead and sometimes behind, made time pass by quickly.

Before you know it, it’s evening!

As Ho Cheon-an created a crater with the sunset in the background, Miho and Navin Seo-gong returned without notice.

“Grandpa! What’s for dinner tonight?”

“I’m thinking of doing this and that today.”

Naveen’s face sparkled with anticipation. Hocheonan usually only cooks one simple dish, but tonight he cooked all kinds of dishes!

All the cooking utensils carried on Seokwoong’s back were unloaded and various types of pots were placed on the three burners.

In the first pot, the fragrant smell of rice cooking and turning into rice was spreading, and in the second pot, there was the smell of various spices along with the meat, and in the third pot, clear soup, mushrooms, and thinly sliced meat were boiling along with the homemade soup.

Navin, who was swallowing his saliva at the feast of food that stimulated his nose and eyes, moved quickly. I wanted to eat as quickly as possible, so I could prepare the meal while Ho Cheon-an was cooking.

However, Navin’s expression when he opened the pot where the rice was ready was filled with puzzlement.

This was because the amount of rice was too much.

Even taking into account today’s dinner and tomorrow morning, this is enough to eat several more meals.

Naveen’s gaze soon turned to the pots where various dishes were being cooked. Considering Hocheonan’s nature of usually filling one meal with just one dish, cooking so many dishes at once…

Could this be a signal that you are leaving?

Ho Cheon-an, who was concentrating on cooking, looked at Navin, who suddenly fell into doubt, and smiled bitterly. Perhaps the reason he is so perceptive, which is unusual for a child, is because he went through so much trouble at such a young age.

Ho Cheon-an opened his mouth as he placed a generous amount of bulgogi on Navin’s rice bowl filled with fluffy rice.

“Nabin.”

“…Yes.”

“Grandpa has important business to run, so I’ll have to leave for a while.”

A generous serving of bulgogi and a nicely boiled broth on top of white rice. It was truly a sight that stimulated the salivary glands, but Navin, who accepted Navin’s rice bowl, stared at Hocheonan instead of sticking his nose into the bowl.

Ho Cheon-an stroked Navin’s head.

“I will be back soon, so can you wait here with the spirits?”

Navin nodded quietly. Navin also knows that Ho Cheon-an will not abandon him. However, it was also true that there was no way to ease the anxiety of being alone even for a moment.

Although Ho Cheon-an has been away for a while, the fact that he has prepared so much food means that he will be away for quite a long time this time.

Ho Cheon-an felt sorry when he saw Navin trying hard to hide his anxiety, but he couldn’t help it this time.

It is the home of the Blood Cult and the last stronghold of the Blood Cult that is presumed to possess the black snake spirit that the Blood Lord is said to have ridden.

Because I had to organize my mother mountain.

This is Mosan, where the Mosan faction, which can be said to be the headquarter of magic, has built a nest for a long time.

Even Hocheonan cannot predict the extreme nature of the techniques and techniques, so even if the spirits protect Navin, it is unknown whether they will be able to completely block the danger.

Therefore, Ho Cheon-an had no choice but to decide to clean up Mosan alone and return, leaving Navin and Yeongmul here.

Navin nodded and quickly ate a lot of white rice and bulgogi. Appetite as usual. And even cleaning up and going to bed as usual.

However, what was different from usual was that it took quite a long time for Naveen to fall asleep.

Ho Cheon-an quietly got up and stroked the sleeping Navin’s head, took a look at the spirits, and then launched a light attack toward the west.

Hocheonan, who ran for a long time with the stars floating in the sky as his friends, was able to see Mosan in front of him by the time his friends left work with the appearance of the sun.

Ho Cheon-an, who had reached the entrance of Mosan, could clearly sense the presence of a force that enveloped the entire Mosan.

The aura of blatant fighting that stubbornly rejects intruders.

And the presence of countless people can be felt within it.

Ho Cheon-an realized that the remnants in Mosan were fully prepared and waiting for him.

However, Ho Cheon-an stepped into the mountain gate without hesitation.

This was fully expected.

The moment Ho Cheon-an crossed the mountain gate, the energy of Jinbeop, like a mountain of mountains pouring down, rushed to him.

The energy was so great that even Ho Cheon-an, who had reached the state of Diamond Buddha, complained of pain throughout his body.

Passs…!!

Ho Cheon-an smiled bitterly as he watched the hem of the sleeves, which were made of cotton silk, not being able to withstand the pressure and crumbling little by little.

‘You were fully prepared and waiting.’

In general, the more a natural method follows the laws of nature, the stronger its power becomes, so it is best to let it soak in slowly, like soaking your clothes in a light rain. Therefore, the pouring out of energy as soon as one entered the mountain gate was an expression of the will to kill Ho Cheon-an even if it meant upsetting all of Mosan’s energy.

Hu Tianan raised his hand, withstanding the pressure pouring from Moshan.

It was foolish to break the rules by force. It was like if you wanted to cut a rock in two, the solution was not to hit the rock with your fist, but to pick up a chisel and a hammer and hammer in the chisel one by one.

In order to break the formation, the rule was to observe the situation, intervene in the flow, block and hinder its flow, weaken its power, and ultimately scatter it meaninglessly.

However, Ho Cheon-an decided to destroy the Mosan faction’s formation by force.

Gurgling!!

With a thunderous burst of power, the dormant inner energy in Hocheonan’s entire body awakens at once and pushes away the pressure of Mosan.

The Taoists of the Mosan Sect who were coordinating the flow of the battle opened their mouths at the internal energy erupting from Ho Cheon-an’s body.

“Huh…how can one person’s body contain the energy to handle the energy of a mountain…!”

“This is not the time! Quickly concentrate your strength!”

The Taoist monks of the Mosan sect hurriedly coordinated their battles with the swords of the swords and chants, adding to the pressure on Ho Tian-an.

Even so, nothing changed.

Rumbling! Crumbling!! Wow!!

No matter how much strength he added, every time a thunderous force exploded from Ho Cheon-an’s body, the flow of the battle broke down.

Geek!!

A road connected to the mountain gate. The studded pillars along the road trembled. Some poles could not withstand the pressure and began to twist. Seeing that scene, the blood people swallowed dry saliva, and the Taoists of the Mosan sect desperately tried to suppress the power of Hocheonan, not only in cold sweat but even bleeding from the corners of their mouths.

Wow!!

Everything was insufficient.

Baba baba bak!!

“Kuweek!”

“Wow!”

Numerous gates surrounding the mountain gate exploded all at once, and the magicians who were controlling the flow of the battle all fell out, vomiting blood.

“No way…!”

“Ji, you broke the power of Jinbeop alone!”

Blood people and Mosan sect magicians looked at Hu Cheon-an with eyes filled with fear. However, Ho Cheon-an stared at the top of Mosan without even looking at the blood people and magicians.

This was because Hocheonan felt the presence of numerous battle techniques and techniques that would block his path.

‘Is this the first step?’

In Hocheonan’s mind, he pictured Navin slowly waking up from his sleep. He probably started a fire with Miho’s help and then ate alone.

If we hurry, can we have dinner together?

If I pushed up with force, it might be possible.

‘Wait.’

Ho Cheon-an unleashed his Thunder Dragon and instantly subdued the blood people and the Taoists.

Such a new type of Hocheonan was launched towards the top of Mosan for dinner with Navin.
