Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 256

Chapter 256: The Lazy One Attacks (1)

Everyone regretted how easily the brother’s fight ended, but many had anticipated it.

Wei Yanho seems indifferent to everything, but he actually has a lot of affection for his family. Those close to him knew that.

Considering that the person he loved the most was his brother, not his mother, it was difficult to think that he would actually try to defeat him.

Huh?

He probably didn’t have that intention from the beginning. If he had, he wouldn’t have gone up on stage.

Maybe he was just in a bad mood?

What would Wei Yanho gain from fighting?

The six-month reward they promised if he won?

That’s possible. Of course, that would be nice, but Wei Yanho seemed to have foreseen it. That he wouldn’t be able to rest.

Wouldn’t it be because he didn’t want to fight his brother in front of everyone?

No one knows what Wei Yanho is thinking.

In any case…

Huh? What happened after that?

What everyone expected happened.

The father punishes the rebellious son.

***

“Well done!”

Wei Yanho sighed as he listened to the constant scolding from Wei Jeonghan, who had a stern expression.

‘He never gets tired.’

Wei Jeonghan didn’t seem to want to stop. It seemed that scolding Wei Yanho was his duty. He started by saying that Wei Yanho was embarrassing his late grandfather, and now he’s even mentioning his ancestors.

“If you are a warrior! A warrior shouldn’t have preferences in a fight!”

“…I don’t have to be a warrior.”

“Kaaack!”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

Wei Jeonghan was determined to scold Wei Yanho.

But Wei Yanho was ignoring Wei Jeonghan under the covers.

It doesn’t matter.

“Are you listening to me?”

“Yes.”

“Are you listening to me with your mind, not just your ears?”

“Will you get angry if I tell you the truth?”

“I’ll get angry even if you don’t tell the truth.”

“Then why are you asking?”

“To find a reason to scold you.”

“…I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone more honest than my father. I respect that.”

“Damn brat!”

Wei Jeonghan was about to explode.

“Anyway, I would have lost.”

“Then you should have fought! How are people supposed to see the Wei family? They’ll think you gave up because you didn’t have the courage to fight your brother!”

“…Huh? That’s true.”

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

Wei Jeonghan lost control and attacked, but Wei Yanho rolled to avoid his kick. Wei Jeonghan’s kick hit the bed.

“Damn brat!”

“Ouch.”

Wei Yanho, tired of the scolding, jumped out the window. He had tried to resist in bed, but he couldn’t take it anymore.

“What kind of Sword of the Righteous Hero are you?! What kind of warrior is so talkative?! They say men should be quiet!”

“Won’t you stop there?”

“No!”

Wei Yanho jumped out the window and walked away slowly.

Wei Jeonghan chuckled as he watched Wei Yanho walk away.

“Damn brat.”

Even though he scolded him non-stop, he couldn’t get angry.

‘I’m not a warrior either.’

Wei Jeonghan felt surprised and disbelieving when Wei Yanho abandoned the duel. But he also felt relieved.

Wei Jeonghan didn’t want to see them fight.

‘Tsk.’

Wei Jeonghan shook his head.

It happened because his sons got along so well. But he couldn’t praise him sincerely.

‘Good boy.’

Becoming a warrior who even surpasses his older brother might be better for Wei Yanho’s future, but Wei Jeonghan felt more affection for Wei Yanho, who gave up the fight because he didn’t want to fight his brother. Although he couldn’t say it out loud.

“Being honest isn’t easy.”

Wei Jeonghan’s voice sounded bitter.

“Ugh, how annoying.”

Wei Yanho tore up the grass and threw it away. The wind blew the grass away.

“What annoying warriors.”

Wei Yanho couldn’t understand. Why did warriors have to fight even among brothers and prove their strength?

You don’t get food or rice for being strong.

Baek Muhan would tell Wei Yanho, “If you’re strong, you’ll get food, rice, and beautiful women, you fool!” and give him a blow to the head, but that was Baek Muhan.

Wei Yanho, who didn’t leave his room, didn’t have opportunities to meet women, nor to earn money with his martial skills…

Oh, he does.

Anyway, he had already earned enough money, so he didn’t need to prove his strength.

“I don’t understand.”

Wei Yanho lay down.

‘Is it because I don’t know how to fight?’

He had been told countless times that he should fight when necessary. Baek Muhan always complained about his lack of competitive spirit.

It’s difficult to put in effort without a reward, and the increase in martial skill is just personal satisfaction. Only the crazy people who repeat endlessly, “I won’t lose to that guy, even if I die,” can continue, according to Baek Muhan.

Although he got beaten up for saying, “So, my master was a suitable person.”

He was told that his lack of competitive spirit was his biggest obstacle, but Wei Yanho didn’t agree.

If I get stronger, I’ll have more enemies. And people will expect more from me. Even if I’m not there, someone else will do the job. Why should I seek a high position and look for trouble?

A peaceful life is the best.

His brother will lead the clan, and Suryun will take care of the administration. Wei Yanho should get a room and live off the money he has earned.

“If it weren’t for my master’s prohibition, I would already be living like that.”

Wei Yanho realized something.

‘Now that I think about it… isn’t it time for the prohibition to become a problem?’

His master said that to survive, Wei Yanho had to keep obtaining enlightenment and expanding. So as not to die like a worm by being absorbed by his master’s internal energy core.

‘How long does it take for that to happen?’

Wei Yanho began to worry seriously.

Recently, he hasn’t obtained any enlightenment. He hasn’t heard any signs, so he’s supposed to absorb energy automatically after a while. It’s like carrying a time bomb in his stomach.

He had tried to separate the internal energy core several times, but all his attempts had failed. It was just an internal energy core, but it was difficult for Wei Yanho to handle something with Baek Muhan’s will.

“Everyone is bothering me.”

His master put an internal energy core in his stomach and said that he would die if he didn’t obtain enlightenment quickly, and his father scolds him for not fighting with his brother.

There are many people who prevent him from living a normal life, and the fact that they are his relatives makes Wei Yanho sigh.

“Well, what can happen?”

At that moment.

*Pulsation*.

Wei Yanho opened his eyes from the pain in his stomach.

Now?

“No, no, it can’t be…”

Wei Yanho looked at his stomach in horror. It was a pain he had felt before.

Before…

“No, no.”

Wei Yanho clutched his stomach.

“Damn master, he really plans to suck my energy until I die! Aaaaaaaaaah!”

Just when Wei Yanho was about to have a fit, he heard a low laugh.

“Hmm?”

Wei Yanho looked back. He saw a man walking towards him.

He had no energy to worry about someone approaching in this situation. He’s about to die, what does it matter who approaches?

But Wei Yanho couldn’t look away.

Because the man was wearing a green robe. A very familiar green robe.

“…Huh?”

If Wei Yanho’s memory is correct, that is the clothing of the Tang Family from Sichuan.

The sudden pain in his stomach, a stabbing pain as if he were being pricked with needles.

And a warrior from the Tang Family from Sichuan is approaching.

Wei Yanho’s mind began to spin rapidly. He felt a pain as if he were being pricked with a red-hot needle, but that didn’t matter now. The cause of the pain was important.

“The brat dared to insult the Tang family.”

“……Who are you?”

“I am Tang Cheongun. You must have heard my name.”

Wei Yanho’s head tilted slightly.

“I don’t know”

“You don’t know me?”

Tang Cheongun was about to speak, but he shook his head.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. If you don’t know me, you will soon, and everything will be insignificant.”

“Why will it be insignificant?”

“What does it matter what a corpse knows? Soon you will feel the pain of melting. That is the end of those who oppose the Tang Family from Sichuan.”

Wei Yanho’s head tilted even further.

“Excuse me for asking…”

“Go ahead.”

“Did you poison me?”

“Hahahaha.”

Tang Cheongun began to laugh.

“You’re quite dull. Don’t you feel pain? Don’t you feel a burning pain in your stomach?”

“So, this is poisoning?”

“That’s right. I used the poison Danhonjeoldok (斷魂癤毒). Becoming a corpse is easy, but it won’t allow you to regret it enough. You must regret opposing the Tang Family from Sichuan…”

“Damn it!”

Wei Yanho spat on the ground.

“You old fart!”

In that instant, Wei Yanho’s body stretched like lightning and appeared in front of Tang Cheongun.

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho’s fist struck Tang Cheongun’s jaw!

Bang!

Wei Yanho shouted as he watched Tang Cheongun fly away like a projectile:

“I thought it was something else, you old fart!”

Of course, Tang Cheongun couldn’t hear him.
