Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

“I’m leaving now.”

Wei Su-ryeon finally burst into tears.

Brother, don’t go!

Wei Yan-ho frowned fiercely.

Why are you being so good now that it’s all over?

Hit!

Wei San-ho hit the back of Wei Yan-ho’s head.

“Oh!”

“What kind of harsh words are those to tell your sister?”

Are these harsh words? These? So hard words are not allowed, but hitting your brother in the head is perfectly fine?

Wei Yan-ho looked defiantly at Wei San-ho.

Under normal circumstances, such behavior would have been unimaginable, but what could Wei Yan-ho see in his present state? Because they would still drag him helpless into hell, causing a little fuss would not change anything.

At that time, murmuring voices reached Wei Yan-ho’s ears.

“Even so, it’s a little sad for the Second Young Master to leave, isn’t it?”

How many times have you seen the face of the Second Young Master? In the five years I’ve been working here, I can count on one hand the times I’ve seen him.

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Well how?”

You don’t know what you’re talking about! I know someone who works in another family, and their young master is so troublesome that he causes all kinds of incidents, he never leaves them alone for a day. They say they’re going crazy to clean up their messes. Compared to that, our Second Young Master is quiet, doesn’t cause trouble, and you barely know if he’s there or not. What a wonderful person!

– Hmm, now that you say it like that, I guess you’re right.

Wei Yan-ho snapped his tongue.

‘They’re having a great time.’

To think he had trusted those people as his servants!

It was so unfair that he could go crazy and jump everywhere.

Wei Yan-ho had to receive individual farewells from the servants and ignore the tears of Han Sang-ah and Wei Su-ryeon before he could finally leave the house.

“Second young master, please take care and return safe and sound!”

“Young Master, please take good care of the Second Young Teacher!”

“Second Young Master, you must return as a great person!”

Wei Yan-ho frowned his lips.

“Great person, my frozen ass.”

Who said staying home makes you a little person?

Wei Yan-ho looked up at the sky with clear eyes like a cow dragged into the slaughterhouse.

Why is it so cloudy today? It’s so cold that it makes you cry!

“My destiny…”

Wei Yan-ho looked at Wei Su-ryeon, who was clinging to his mother and crying.

For no particular reason, the tip of his nose began to tingle.

Still, he made me sandwiches… he scolded me a lot, but he also listened attentively.

Still, she was a family, and to think she wouldn’t see her for a while made him feel infinitely sad.

“Come on!”

Wei Yan-ho’s head turned sharply.

This person clearly did not have the same blood running through his veins.

No, before that it was questionable if he had any blood flow.

Let’s go!

Wei Yan-ho greeted Wei Su-ryeon with his hand. Upon receiving his farewell, Wei Su-ryeon cried even more sadly.

“Oh, don’t cry! It’s not like I’m being dragged into war!

“Waaaaah!”

When Wei Su-ryeon began to cry at full lung, Wei Yan-ho sighed deeply, dismounted from his horse and patted Wei Su-ryeon on the back.

“I told you not to cry.”

Smell.

“The brother will be back soon.”

“Mmm.”

Wei Yan-ho barely managed to comfort Wei Su-ryeon and re-mounted his horse.

“…I’ll be right back.”

When Wei Yan-ho gave his last farewell, everyone said a word while he was being fired.

Take care of yourself and come back safe and sound!

“Come back as a real man!”

Brother, you must return safe and sound.

“Second Young Master, please come back safe and sound!”

Wei Yan-ho listened to his goodbyes and clenched his teeth.

I’ll definitely come back, I’ll do it!

The curses they should have followed could not continue because Wei San-ho grabbed the reins with force and departed. Wei Yan-ho left behind indefinite words and departed for Henan. When the figures of Wei Yan-ho and Wei San-ho decreased as points, Han Sang-ah let a deep sigh escape.

“I wonder if he… will be okay.”

When Han Sang-ah dried up his tears, Wei Jeong-han silently placed his hand on his shoulder.

Don’t worry, he’s our son, right?

“You won’t take your hand off?”

Wei Jeong-han shook and shook his hand.

Han Sang-ah hugged Wei Su-ryeon, who was crying.

Even so, Su-ryeon followed his brother very well.

Han Sang-ah looked at Wei Yan-ho who was leaving and sighed deeply.

“You have to stay healthy.”

No matter how lazy and pathetic the child was, a mother’s love showed no discrimination.

***

The trip went smoothly.

From the perspective of Wei San-ho, of course.

If there was any problem, it was that it could not be known whether Wei Yan-ho was riding the horse or whether the horse was carrying Wei Yan-ho, and Wei Yan-ho’s face, barely hung on the horse, had turned from a deadly pale blue as if it were to collapse at any time, but for Wei San-ho, it was an extremely quiet journey.

The small incidents of Wei Yan-ho falling asleep on his horse and almost falling down or launching towards the cliffs were already anticipated.

Of course, Wei Yan-ho’s perspective was completely different.

Their buttocks had been burning for years for riding that unknown horse, and even the task of simply sitting on the horse without doing anything consumed enormous resistance.

Thanks to this, Wei Yan-ho was completely withered.

For Wei Yan-ho, who was used to a soft bed, the frantic rebound from the back of the horse was unbearable agony.

“Puaj…”

Wei Yan-ho grabbed the horse’s neck and groaned.

“…Is it far?”

Faced with Wei Yan-ho’s question, Wei San-ho responded with a direct voice.

“Only ten more days.”

“D-ten days?”

“If you had been able to ride well, we would have arrived in five days.”

Wei Yan-ho became angry and screamed.

“I told you I’ve never rode before!”

“I wasn’t blaming you.”

“You’re blaming me right now!”

“I was just answering because you asked me.”

Wei Yan-ho squeezed his teeth, but he couldn’t help it. He wasn’t stronger and had a higher rank. Moreover, what Wei San-ho said wasn’t bad, so, no matter how detestable and annoying it was, he had no choice but to put up with it.

“Let’s rest a bit.”

Resting is not difficult. As long as you don’t mind going faster than now for the remaining nine days.

Wei Yan-ho made a tearful grimace.

Do you know how steep this is? Do you know how hard it is? I’m going to break my back and feel like my buttocks are going to burst! Look over there! Look how difficult it is; even those people are lying on the road resting.

When Wei Yan-ho pointed to people lying far away, Wei San-ho’s face hardened like a stone.

“Hurry up!”

“What now?”

Wei San-ho did not respond and grabbed the reins of Wei Yan-ho while kicking the horse group.

“Ah! Ahhhh! Ahh! It hurts!”

Wei Yan-ho jumped up and down on the horse.

In spite of everything, Wei San-ho spurred his horse and galloped toward the fallen. As soon as he approached, Wei San-ho jumped off the horse and watched them with serious expression.

Wei Yan-ho grumbled as he dismounted.

“What is so urgent?”

“Relax.”

Wei San-ho placed his hand over the neck of the fallen. He then slowly denied his head.

“Too late.”

“Too late for what?”

“They’re dead.”

“…”

Wei Yan-ho remained silent.

In front of Wei San-ho lay two middle-aged men.

Looking at them carefully, their complexions seemed a little pale, but he never imagined they were corpses.

Heavens, see corpses on the road!

“…You mean they’re corpses?”

“Is this the first time you’ve seen one?”

“Yes.”

“You will see them often.”

At the direct words of Wei San-ho, Wei Yan-ho’s body trembled. Wei San-ho searched the bodies and lifted their shirts.

“Look at this.”

Where Wei San-ho pointed out, there was a strange wound. In the middle of the body’s chest, there was a strange mark that looked like a fallen leaf, or from another angle, a red flower cocoon.

When Wei San-ho lifted someone else’s clothes, the same wound was there.

“What is it?”

Wei San-ho said with a hardened face.

“This is a technique called Tamhwajang (Palm obsessed with flowers).”

“Tamhwajang?”

“That’s right.”

What a strange name, coveting flowers, enjoying them?

“Tamhwajang’s original name is Jeokhwajang (Red Flower Palm)”.

“That’s a much more appropriate name, so why is it called Tamhwajang?”

The Jeokhwajang is a palm technique that comes from the demonic path. It is a brutal technique where the meridians of the heart burst upon being beaten, but at least a name was made as a powerful palm method. However, the bastard who now uses the Jeokhwajang in the martial world is such a disgusting scum that he has even stained that name.

“Disgusting?”

Tamhwaseosaeng Seo Ju-ak. He is an evil sex demon. That bastard uses Jeokhwajang, so they changed his name to Tamhwajang.

“So you’re saying that sex demon is here?”

Wei Yan-ho looked around.

In Wei San-ho’s words, didn’t that mean there was an evil sex demon in this area?

It could be dangerous.

“It’s not safe.”

“Mmm…”

Seeing the condition of the corpses, they haven’t been dead for long. They still keep warm. In terms of time, only an hour. But for a martial artist, an hour is not short. He may not be in this area anymore.

Then there’s nothing we can do. Let’s take care of the bodies and follow our path.

“That won’t do.”

“Why?”

“Tamhwaseosaeng Seo Ju-ak never uses his techniques with men.”

“What does that mean?”

Wei San-ho said with a hardened face.

The reason why Seo Ju-ak has not lost his mind in the martial world despite his infamy as a sex demon is because he possesses excellent camouflage skills and knows very well how to save his life. Despite being a sex demon, he never frequents places like brothels. Like a bandit, he attacks women who travel on lonely mountain trails.

“Is that so?”

The fact that there are bodies here of people who died because of Tamhwajang means that Seo Ju-ak attacked the women and ambushed these men.

Wei San-ho’s eyes became desolate.

“There is a woman in danger right now.”

Wei Yan-ho denied his head slowly.

He understood what Wei San-ho was saying, but that didn’t mean they could do anything about it.

And what are we going to do? Do you know where it is? Even if we look all over the area, by the time we find it, it’ll all be over, won’t it?

But Wei San-ho was determined.

“We can’t just sit here and do nothing.”

“Brother, don’t do that…”

At that time, something happened that made Wei Yan-ho shut his mouth.

He heard a small sound near his ear. “It was a very mild sound, but Wei Yan-ho did not overlook it.

A loud scream that sounded like a woman’s.

The heads of Wei Yan-ho and Wei San-ho turned simultaneously.

Combining what Wei San-ho had just said with the cry they heard, what was happening at the place where the cry came from was very clear without the need for interpretation.

The address was determined.

The distance was…

“Pretty far away.”

Wei San-ho walked where the horses were and drew his sword.

“Stay here.”

“Are you telling me to stay here alone with these corpses?”

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Brother!”

I’ll be back!

Wei San-ho left those words and flew using his lightness techniques.

Wei Yan-ho watched the scene quietly and then slowly turned his head.

What was left was two horses grazing quietly on the grass.

And two bodies lying on the ground.

Wei Yan-ho sighed deeply.

“I’m fucked.”

Wei Yan-ho was especially sad today.
