Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 201

**Chapter 201: The Holgazan on the Way (1)**

I had a hunch.

I felt a few times that something was brewing in secret, but there was no evidence, and there was no one in particular to suspect.

Not only me, but also Mr. Jo Hyeon felt the same way.

Huh?

Does it mean that Mr. Jo Hyeon and I felt the same way that we had a similar level of insight?

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.

That could be true.

Don’t make that face serious.

Perhaps I, having accumulated experience and knowledge over time, but at that time, was just a rookie. I could not compare myself to Mr. Jo Hyeon.

But the fact that I too felt the same means that their movements had become more concrete.

Back then… how do you describe it…

Like looking for a path in the fog?

It seemed like this path was the right one, but I wasn’t sure, and if I kept walking aimlessly, I felt I would get lost.

That uncertainty became certain with what you call the Battle of Mount Hua.

How do you count in posterity?

When the villains attacked Mount Hua and targeted the future leaders of the world, the Radiant Martial Sovereign stood up and declared: “Whoever cannot overcome me will not be able to approach Mount Hua!”

Unbelievable…

It’s the attitude of a true hero.

But how do you think it really was?

Hahahaha.

Don’t make that face, you must suspect it, reality is sometimes cruel.

Right?

Well, I’m glad you know.

So I’ll tell you what happened there, it’ll be interesting.

What happened then?

I think something happened along the way, but my memory is unclear.

Something happened, sure.

***

Namgung Hye couldn’t relax her face.

‘I’ll get wrinkles.’

She knows that to have a smooth skin, it is better to maintain an unexpressive expression, but she couldn’t help but frown.

The reason was obvious.

Wei Yanho.

Besides him, who else could make her uncomfortable?

Namgung Hye looked at the carriage with a stunned expression.

Wei Yanho, who had left the carriage and lay on the roof.

That was not strange in itself.

When she had come to the Righteous Martial Alliance with Wei Yanho, she had seen Wei Yanho lying on the roof of the carriage, so she was not surprised.

What surprised Namgung Hye was not Wei Yanho lying on the roof, but the women next to him.

‘I Seolhwa is understandable…’

It was not the first time that I Seolhwa acted like this with Wei Yanho. Although she did not say it openly, she had prepared food for him several times.

As a woman, she often wondered why she acted like this, but it was not strange.

The problem was the woman sitting in front of I Seolhwa.

‘Unacceptable.’

The Supreme Sword. Also known as the Bella Phoenix ().

Although she humbly accepted the title of the most beautiful woman in the world, Namgung Hye believed that there were not many more beautiful people than her in the world.

As I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than her, it was a natural reaction.

But today, Namgung Hye felt that her pride for her beauty had been shattered.

She didn’t know where the woman had come from sitting next to Wei Yanho, but she was incredibly beautiful.

It was so perfect that it was hard to believe it existed.

She didn’t want to admit it. I really didn’t want to admit it, but objectively… no, she forgets objectivity, even at first sight, that woman was three times more beautiful than Namgung Hye.

If he were a man, I’d rather that woman than three Namgung Hye.

Namgung Hye grabbed his thigh.

‘How can such a person exist?’

For Namgung Hye, who considered herself beautiful, the existence of that woman was a shock. It was a shock that there was someone who gathered all the beauty of the world, and also a shock that that woman was sitting next to Wei Yanho in the carriage.

‘Did they say his name was Jin Yeran?’

Namgung Hye had to make a great effort to contain his anger.

A woman’s beauty is a weapon.

A woman deserves to be treated well just because she is beautiful, but that beautiful woman, who could receive the praises of all the men of the world, was in the carriage of that useless idler.

‘The world has gone mad.’

I couldn’t understand it, no matter how hard I tried, it was as ridiculous a scene as a well-written play.

Besides…

“…margo.”

When Wei Yanho tasted the tea and frowned, Jin Yeran, with an expression of surprise, took the tea and tasted it.

“It looks like the tea is wrong. I’m sorry.”

Namgung Hye almost screamed.

Not even a three-year-old would complain that the tea is bitter!

Tea is always a little bitter!

Even if the tea was really wrong and poisonous, if Jin Yeran offered it, many men would drink it as if it were heavenly nectar.

What a luxurious complaint!

Namgung Hye trembled, unable to contain his anger.

“Here.”

Someone put more firewood in the fire.

I Seolhwa gave a sweet to Wei Yanho, who was frowning.

“Huh…?

Namgung Hye opened her mouth without realizing it.

Wei Yanho’s expression changed after eating the candy, and he curled up against the pillow like a satisfied cat.

At that time, I Seolhwa had a triumphant expression, and the frown of the beautiful Jin Yeran frowned.

‘Stop.’

Don’t.

That bum ain’t worth the fight for.

Namgung Hye trembled.

It was terrible.

For Namgung Hye, who could not see him objectively even if he was only with Wei Yanho, it was incomprehensible that those beautiful women were competing for him.

This is a disgrace to the world, a disgrace to all women.

“What are you looking at?”

Sangwan Hong spoke to Namgung Hye.

“Look at that.”

“Where?”

“Look at the carriage. Do you think this situation is normal?”

“…The end of the world is here.”

“Exactly.”

Sangwan Hong frowned at the scene while Namgung Hye shook his head.

“I don’t understand how this can happen.”

“… aren’t they very naive?”

“You’re ingenuous?”

Sangwan Hong whispered:

“I Seolhwa was only on Mount Hua before going out into the world.”

“Right.”

“So she is not immune to men. The only men she has seen are her older brothers.”

“Ah…”

Namgung Hye nodded. “That might be true.

“Now that I think about it, that could be true. Jin Yeran could also be so.”

When he mentioned Jin Yeran, Sangwan Hong looked at the carriage with a stunned expression.

“What are you looking at?”

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

Sangwan Hong blushed.

‘Men are like this.’

If she’s beautiful, they like her.

Although she was upset because her attention had been stolen, Namgung Hye was not discouraged.

Jin Yeran might be more beautiful, but Namgung Hye had something Jin Yeran didn’t have: his status. Not many men would choose Jin Yeran over her, who comes from the mighty Namgung family.

A man without ambition could do it, but she didn’t want that kind of man.

“I must talk to them.”

“From what?”

“As a woman, I cannot bear to see them in love with that man. They should be more discreet.”

As Namgung Hye clenched his teeth, there was someone else who would squeeze his teeth even more.

‘Wei Yanho, you bastard.’

Gong Mujin’s heart was burning to see Wei Yanho eating the sweets I Sheolhwa gave him.

“Ugh.”

Although they were openly doing so, Gong Mujin could not scold his disciple. He could also see Jin Yeran sitting in front of I Seolhwa.

All of a sudden, he started looking for paint and makeup powder…

‘Don’t lose, Seolhwa!’

Gong Mujin sent his support to I Seolhwa in secret.

Honestly, Jin Yeran is too beautiful. He wondered if she had any chance of competing with her.

‘What am I thinking?’

Gong Mujin shook his head hard.

My disciple is wonderful!

Beauty is not everything. Jin Yeran is beautiful, but I Seolhwa is. And I Seolhwa has a charm that Jin Yeran does not have.

The result will be known in the end!

“…But who am I supporting?”

If you win that fight, wait for Wei Yanho.

After winning a battle to the death against a powerful enemy, receiving Wei Yanho as a reward is like receiving garbage.

But he could not wish his disciple to lose.

“Ugh.”

Gong Mujin grabbed his head, not knowing what to do.

‘Since I met that guy, my thoughts have become very rare.’

In addition, his good disciple stole money from him, and he was insulted and beaten by Jo Hyeon.

It seems that no one has benefited from knowing Wei Yanho. Everyone has suffered. Objectively, he seems to be a god of misfortune.

And Gong Mujin saw another person suffer for Wei Yanho.

“Hey, what’s that?”

A black dot was approaching from afar. The dot got bigger and became a person.

“Huh?”

Gong Mujin frowned when he saw someone running towards them.

His face, which seemed to have been beautiful, was covered in dust, and he seemed tired, but clearly a warrior.

Dao’s great symbol on his clothes showed his affiliation.

“S…saved!”

The young man knelt before them. Seokmuncho, who was at the front, frowned when he saw the man.

“Are you not Peng Dogeuk?”

Peng Dogeuk nodded frantically.
