Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 205. Let's just call it my whim. (5)

"Is it not done yet?"

"Make it fast! Hurry up!"

"Where is Kungpao chicken? I've said to make it before. What happened? Where's Boo Soksoo!" (The raw is  부숙수 어디 갔어!)

The chef of the Sichuan Tang Family was fighting desperately.

"Didn't you say there were five people?  I think it's more than 20 servings. Why are you asking me to make more?"

"Don't talk about it. Almost one person is eating them all!"

"All of this?"

"That's what I'm saying."

"Huh. What's wrong with you?"

The hands of the chef began to get busier.

And amid the busy hour, a man stepped in with a natural step.

After seeing the clothes of the intruder, the cooks put food bowls and bottles on a tray.

"Hurry, hurry, carry it before it gets cold!"

"Yes!"

The person who lowered his head and hid his face took a tray of food and takes a quick step.

He slipped out of the kitchen, glanced around him, and shoved his hand into his arms.

He took out a large bottle and a small bottle and checked it, and his eyes lit up coldly.

- He likes to drink.

He sprinkled the powder in a small bottle evenly over the Kungpao chicken, then spill the liquid in the other bottle into the liquor bottle.

Then, with a face as if nothing had happened, he took the tray and began to walk nonchalantly.

Arriving at the residence of Mount Hua’s disciples, he coughed slightly and stepped inside without delay.

"Oh, he's here!"

"……are you asking again?"

"I don't know which is great, you eating all this or the Tang Family that giving all this."

The table in the center of the inner room was strewn with clean, empty dishes.

The food brought by the man was laid out in front of Chung Myung. Then he took the empty bowls.

"Oh, well, shall we start over?"

Chung Myung whistled and picked up his chopsticks. Baek Chun frowns at the sight.

"Are you really eating again? Again?"

"Then I'll give it to you, and eat it."

"Did you hear it properly? Hey, dude! You said you were supposed to be dueling in the afternoon! How can a man like that be so heavy?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Mount Hua's food is good too, isn't it? Why do you look like a starved person…?"

"Sasuk."

"What?"

"That's rice."

"Then what about this?"

"This is cooking."

"……."

In a subtle way, Baek Chun understood Chung Myung clearly. No matter how generous the meat is and how good the ingredients are, you can't compare the food from Mount Hua's kitchen with the food here.

Isn't it a dish made by the best chef in Sichuan?

"Wow. Let me have a bite first.…."

Chung Myung tilted his head at the moment.

"Huh?"

His gaze glances to one side.

"Wow! What is this? A smell that kills a person?"

Chung Myung's eyes were fixed on the new bottle of liquor. A wonderful scent was leaking out of the bottle with the lid open.

Chung Myung, who reached out without delay, poured alcohol into his mouth.

"Kahhh.”

"...it sounds like someone is dying."

"I wonder if it's good over there too."

Chung Myung looked at the bottle with wide open eyes.

"Wow, what's with all of this? It's  really good." (The raw is 명주구나)

Baek Chun crept up on Chung Myung.

"Then let me have a bite...…."

"Hey! Where are you trying to get your hands on Sajil’s liquor! Bad manners!"

"……is this crazy?"

Sect became upside down.

It flipped backward.

"Oh, this Kungpao chicken is almost art, art! I'd like to take all cooks here to Mount Hua."

"Mount Hua, do you want to hire them to our kitchen?"

"No, just for me."

"……."

Primordial Heaven  (元始天尊/ Supreme Deity of Taoism).

Why did you drop such a thing in Mount Hua?

Seeing Chung Myung drink and eat food, the man quietly left the room with an empty bowl.

Glug, glug, glug.

Chung Myung, who wiped his mouth with his sleeve, grinned at the bottle.

Then, he leaned back on the chair as if he had filled his stomach enough.

"Oh, I ate too much."

"Look, I told you to eat moderately."

"It's okay, it's okay. This is nothing."

Jo-Gol frowns slightly at the table.

"There's quite a bit left. It's a waste, but I have to eat it all..."

Tak!

Chung Myung's chopsticks hit Jo-Gol's chopsticks like a beam of light.

"……."

"That's mine. Sahyung eats something else."

"……Huh?"

Chung Myung grinned.

"This is what Tang Family prepared for me."

Jo-Gol tilted his head at an unexpected remark.

* * *

News of  Mount Hua Divine Dragon and Tang Hak having a duel spread rapidly throughout the Tang Family.

"With that Mount Hua Divine Dragon?"

"Did Young Master Tang Hak has to go that far?"

"What are you talking about? He may be not the son of Gaju, but isn't Young Master Tang Hak the best young warrior in the Tang Family?"

"Even so...... it's Mount Hua Divine Dragon. Didn't you say the other day that Gaju-nim had lost in a duel against Mount Hua Divine Dragon?"

"That's because Gaju-nim was holding back. Would he bully Mount Hua's young Taoist?"

Each had different thoughts and opinions, but everyone wanted to see this duel with their own eyes. Therefore, the central Duel Hall (Sparring Hall) of the Sichuan Tang Family, where the duel is held, was filled with people in the morning.

Tang Hak's heart began to beat fast as he saw the crowd.

"Huu."

Tang Hak, who took a deep breath and calmed his trembling chest, clenched his fist in the sleeve.

It was then.

"There's nothing to be nervous about."

Tang Hak turned his head sharply.

His grandfather, Tang Wei, the Senate’s Wonju, was walking toward him.

"Greetings, Wonju-nim."

"There is no need to strain yourself. Call me Grandpa."

"Yes, grandfather."

Tang Wei smiles still.

"Are you confident?"

"It’s not that your grandson has been neglectful of his efforts but...… the opponent is Mount Hua Divine Dragon, called the world's best rising star. To be honest, I'm not sure I can win."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It’s an unseemly appearance. You're scared of a kid ten years younger than you?"

"It's not that I'm not confident……."

"There is nothing to worry about."

"Yes?"

Tang Wei put on a fishy smile.

"Should I give you some advice, my only grandson? Mount Hua Divine Dragon will grovel like drugged chickens, so don't waste time and beat him."

"How do you..."

"However!"

Tang Wei whispered, his eyes shining fiercely.

"Don't let him live."

Understanding what Tang Wei said, Tang Hak nodded slowly. It was not long before his mouth twisted and a mean smile came out.

"I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I won't let him talk forever."

"Yes, sometimes the books have to be tough." (The raw is 장부는 독해야 할 때도 있는 법이다)

The pair of grandfather and the grandson looked at each other with a fishy smile.

"If this goes well, you will rise to the position of Sogaju. Then the position of Gaju will naturally lead to you."

"I don't know how to repay my grandfather's kindness."

"It's in return for you to become Gaju. Then my limit will be lifted."

Tang Wei turned his head and looked at the people gathered in the Duel Hall.

"Can you see it?"

"Yes."

"These many are all members of the Tang family. There are divisions between brothers, so how can these many people live as one family?"

"……."

"What a true Gaju should have is not a heart of care for their own kind. It is only right that Gaju should be cold and sober, and only think about the benefit of Tang Family. Keep my words in mind."

"Yes, grandfather."

Tang Wei stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

‘That's enough.'

He heard a report from his subordinate that confirmed Chung Myung was taking Cheonilchwi (千日取).

‘No matter how strong he is, he can't handle Tang Hak when he is inflicted with Cheonilchwi.'

Cheonilchwi is one of the special poisons of the Tang family.

The characteristic of Cheonilchwi is that it is divided between positive and negative. If the two are not used together, they cannot act as a poison. It is just a simple powder and liquid.

However, when two things meet in the stomach, they mix and become poison.

A person inflicted with Cheonilchwi becomes clouded as if drunk and is unable to raise utilize their energy well.
‘It's the best medicine to use in this kind of fight.'

Tang Wei turned his head with a strange smile.

Looking at Tang Gaju, which is located across, makes him frown.

‘For you to be Gaju!'

No matter how much he wanted to support Chung Myung, does it make sense for the head of the Tang Family to sit on the side of Mount Hua?

'I can't leave the future of the family to someone like that.'

By the end of the day, the Tang Family will be reorganized in the name of him and Tang Hak.

Then he saw the disciples of Mount Hua walking slowly from far away.

"Here it comes!"

"Mount Hua! It's Mount Hua Divine Dragon!"

The members of the Tang Family who had gathered held their breath as they looked at them.

There is no booing or cheering.

Tang Gun-ak is standing there, so they can't boo him, and they also can't cheer because it's Tang Hak who he's dealing with.

It was just a vague, high voice that rang nonstop.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, grandfather!"

"Okay. You shouldn't give up the momentum. Get out right away!"

"Yes!"

Tang Hak jumps onto the temporary duel stage, proudly spreads his shoulders and looks at Mount Hua's disciples.

'This is where I'm going to be Sogaju.'

‘I must show a more solemn appearance!’

"Mount Hua Divine Dragon, step forward. I'll deal with you today to prove that Tang Family's martial arts are on top of Mount Hua's."

"Whoaaaa!”

"Right!"

Eventually, the arm is bent inward. (The raw is 결국 팔은 안으로 굽는 법.)

At the dignified remark, the Tang Family members cheered. Some peeped at Tang Gun-ak, but Tang Gun-ak showed no reaction to the cheers.

And the disciples of Mount Hua...….

Huh?

What are they doing?

The eyes of the crowd are on the disciples of Mount Hua. Though they must have heard Tang Hak, they looked busy standing in a circle and whispering something among themselves.

"Really?"

"Is that okay?"

"...no, that..."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"...if that's the case."

After the long murmur, one person stepped forward.

People were amazed to see him on the duel stage without hesitation.

"He's Mount Hua Divine Dragon! The world's best rising star!"

“What a great momentum… huh?”

"Was Mount Hua Divine Dragon a woman?"

Everyone's face was stained with absurdity.

The one who rises to the stage is the female disciple of Mount Hua. Chung Myung's reputation has not spread much until Sichuan, but it is enough to know that Mount Hua Divine Dragon is a man.

"Didn't it say the opponent is Mount Hua Divine Dragon?"

"What kind of woman?”

"No! Are you saying a woman going to deal with Young Master Tang Hak? There's a limit for ignoring Tang Family!"

The crowd began to rumble.

But no matter how angry they are, they can't be as angry as Tang Hak.

Tang Hak, whose face was wrinkled with anger, let out a loud scowl.

"What the hell is this!"

He gazed at Yoo Iseol on stage and spit it out.

"I've definitely decided to fight with Mount Hua Divine Dragon. Who are you to dare come up on stage?"

"Yoo Iseol of Mount Hua."

"You don't understand what I'm saying! Where is Mount Hua Divine Dragon?"

Only then did one of the disciples of Mount Hua stepped forward.

"Me?"

"……."

Chung Myung answered as if he's going to die of boredom. Seeing this, Tang Hak couldn't hide his dismay.

"You're supposed to fight me, aren't you?"

"Oh, something happened, so let's just do this."

"What do you mean this?"

"Tsk."

Chung Myung tapped his bloated stomach.

“I ate too much and I got indigestion.”

"……over eating? Did you say that a warrior is overeating?"

"Tang Family food was very delicious."

"……."

It's absurd. No, it's absurd to the point it’s hard to believe.

What's even more absurd is that by the side of Mount Hua Divine Dragon,

'Indeed it is.'

It was Tang Gun-ak, muttering and nodding.

"Do Mount Hua not know shame?"

"Oh, you're talking weird. Who is being shameless here?"

"What?"

Chung Myung grinned.

"You fighting me?"

"……yes."

"By what qualification?"

"……."

Tang Hak's eyes shook.

"I'm still Mount Hua Divine Dragon!"

Chung Myung stuck out his belly.

It's full. How much did you eat...…. No, this isn't the point.

"Am you bragging about your reputation? How can a warrior dwell on his fame?"

"It sounds like a beggar's muzzle. So you understand that the Tang family is treated like a family of five people who are stuck in a corner, right?" (The raw is 그럼 댁들은 당가가 어디 저 구석에 처박혀 있는 사람 다섯 명짜리 가문이랑 같이 취급을 받아도 그렇구나 하고 이해하는 모양이죠?")

"……."

No, that's not true.

This is Sichuan Tang Family.

"How did I get this reputation? It's a reputation earned by overcoming death and running around sweating barefoot. But what? Duel? I have never heard of you before. You're doing a duel with me?"

Chung Myung has a strange look on his face. A look full of laughter and ridicule.

"Don't make a fool of yourself.  Even a challenger requires a minimum qualification. Otherwise, on the signboard of Tang Family.”

‘You, the one who passed by. We will accept a request for a duel. Go to Sichuan Tang Family.'

you should write that!"

Chung Myung murmured when Tang Hak, who couldn't find an excuse, shut up.

"These noblemen think I got this nickname for gambling in the back street. Dogs and cows are tangled up together. I didn't even know your name. How could you be arrogant?"

Tang Hak's face was horribly distorted.

Chung Myung, points at Yoo Iseol with a chin.

"Don't worry. Because I'm generous. I'll deal with you if you win against Sago. No, actually, it's troublesome too...…."

Chung Myung grinned.

"If you win against Sago, I'll admit I lost."

Tang Hak's face turned pale.

"Are you asking me to fight a woman?"

"……oh my."

Chung Myung's eyes were wide open. And then trembles in succession.

"If you want to die, you can just put your nose in the plate water. You would get beaten to death...…." (It come out very often. The raw is 뒈지고 싶으면 그냥 접시 물에 코를 박으면 되지.)

"What?"

It was that moment.

"Are you done?"

Tang Hak's head  \turns sharply.

Kreuk.

Yoo Iseol's sword was slowly drawn.

"If you're done, I want to do it now. Fight."

Unable to contain his anger, Tang Hak's face trembled.

"This….such a shameless person!"

It was that moment.

Paat!

"……."

Tang Hak lowered his head slowly.

Both of his sleeves were cut off and was falling to the floor.

"……."

"You talk too much."

The quiet words of Yoo Iseol made Tang Hak's teeth crack. 

"……you. Don't even think about going down the stage alive."

Tension, which rapidly expanded in an instant, enveloped the Hall.

In this situation, only one person murmured something else.

"Samae, you shouldn’t say that……."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"No... nothing."

It was Baek Chun who turned his head away.
