Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 312

Chapter 312: The Lazy One Goes to the Imperial Palace (2)

Wei Jeonghan recalled a recent conversation.

“Your son.”

“…Huh?”

Wei Jeonghan had a serious expression.

It was understandable.

Although the situation was more or less resolved, the man in front of him had tried to kill his son. If he had succeeded, he probably would have tried to kill Wei Jeonghan as well.

Wei Jeonghan wasn’t kind enough to treat someone who had tried to kill him well.

The reason why Wei Jeonghan was treating him with respect was because he was a warrior worthy of respect.

Tang Cheonjun, the Dark King, was.

“He’s too powerful.”

“I know.”

Wei Jeonghan already knew that since his son had beaten him savagely.

“It’s not just his strength…”

The Dark King frowned.

“Huu…”

Tang Cheonjun sighed deeply and spoke:

“Do you know what it means that my poison didn’t affect him?”

“…That he’s strong.”

“Ugh.”

The Dark King frowned.

“Even though your son beat me savagely, I’m not weak. No one in the world can handle more potent poison than I can.”

“Hmm… true.”

“Think about what it means. Your son is immune to any poison.”

Wei Jeonghan’s eyes widened.

“What does that mean?”

“Yes. He’s immune to all poisons.”

“Wow…”

He understood now. But immunity to all poisons was something legendary.

“Isn’t it just a concept?”

“No.”

“Besides…”

Wei Jeonghan shook his head after thinking about it:

“No. That guy… was poisoned and suffered a lot. He writhed on the ground.”

The Dark King looked at Wei Jeonghan seriously:

“Do you think immunity to all poisons means that the poison runs away?”

“Huh?”

“Is he indestructible because swords don’t affect him? He’s indestructible because he doesn’t get hurt even if he’s hit with swords.”

That was true.

“Immunity to all poisons isn’t that extraordinary. If you can neutralize all the poisons in the world, you’re immune to all poisons.”

“Hmm…”

Wei Jeonghan nodded. He couldn’t argue with the Dark King about poison.

“The most worrying thing is that your son suffered when the Tang family’s child poisoned him. Did he suffer more than when I poisoned him?”

“…Yes.”

Wei Jeonghan tilted his head:

‘It’s strange.’

He suffered a lot with the Tang family’s poison, but he didn’t suffer as much with the Dark King’s poison. Did that make sense?

“He adapted. His body learned to neutralize the poison. He doesn’t need to use internal energy, his body does it automatically.”

“I… is that possible?”

“Do you think about how to digest food when you digest it?”

“No.”

“It’s the same thing.”

Wei Jeonghan scratched his head:

“Why are you telling me this?”

“To conclude…”

The Dark King’s eyes trembled.

He seemed to be suppressing his indignation.

“Immunity to all poisons is a dream for the Tang family. But it’s also the most terrifying. If we achieve immunity to all poisons, we can use any poison without worrying about poisoning, and we’ll be almost invincible… it’s a blessing, but…”

“It’s a calamity.”

“Yes.”

The Dark King nodded.

“But unfortunately, we’ve faced someone immune to all poisons, and he’s young.”

“A great calamity.”

“Yes.”

The Dark King trembled:

“And his personality!”

“…Enough.”

Wei Jeonghan had to hold back laughter at the sight of the Dark King’s slumped shoulders. He could imagine how he felt.

“We know. We’ve made a big mistake. But as you know, this is common in the martial world.”

“It’s not always easily resolved.”

Wei Jeonghan’s face turned stern, and the Dark King sighed.

“Medicinal herbs, medicines, and gold.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll give it to you.”

Wei Jeonghan looked at the Dark King firmly. What father would give that to someone who tried to kill his son?

“I’ve always respected the Dark King.”

Here it is!

Wei Jeonghan took the Dark King’s hands. Taking the hands of someone from the Tang family meant great trust.

“Please, help me.”

Wei Jeonghan smiled.

He didn’t care about the medicine or the gold. If he rejected the Dark King’s offer, the Tang family and Wei Yanho would become irreconcilable enemies.

Wei Yanho could defeat the Tang family alone, but…

‘He won’t just attack the Tang family.’

The more trips he makes, the more clans will become enemies with Wei Yanho. Wei Jeonghan needed to repair the relationships.

“I’ll try, but it’s difficult to control Yanho.”

“It’s okay. At least, make sure the Tang family and the Wei family aren’t enemies.”

“I promise.”

“Thank you.”

The Dark King bowed to Wei Jeonghan.

Wei Jeonghan bowed even more deeply.

“Hey?”

“I can’t accept an apology from a senior. That’s how the martial world is. Sometimes, friends become enemies, and enemies become friends… it’s dirty and clean at the same time.”

Wei Jeonghan smiled:

“There are fights and conflicts everywhere. The martial world is just more violent.”

The Dark King nodded in surprise.

“You’ve become much kinder.”

“After raising a son…”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The Dark King laughed.

Life changes when one prioritizes others. The young Wei Jeonghan was ruthless, but he had become kinder after raising a son.

“You must be happy to have such a powerful son.”

“The son is okay… but the other one is a disaster…”

“…It’s good that he’s not an evil dragon.”

“Yes, fortunately.”

The Dark King asked curiously:

“What did your son learn? It doesn’t seem to be a traditional martial technique.”

“I don’t know. He learned something strange.”

“…We should investigate it.”

“Huh?”

The Dark King said seriously:

“Listen to me.”

“Yes.”

“I’ve only seen this once in my life. Someone who instantly adapts to poison and neutralizes it.”

“…….”

“And if you try to do it again, he develops complete immunity. I don’t know if it’s due to the martial arts or his constitution. But if it’s due to the martial arts…”

“Enough.”

Wei Jeonghan interrupted the Dark King.

“Do you mean that Wei Yanho’s martial arts are demonic martial arts?”

“No, they’re not. I’m not blind; if they were, I’d lose my reputation. They’re not demonic martial arts.”

“Then?”

Wei Jeonghan showed his teeth.

“Do you mean my son isn’t my son?”

“Why are you so aggressive?”

“Who’s messing with me with nonsense?”

“I mean that Wei Yanho’s martial arts aren’t demonic, but they might have a similar effect.”

“…….”

“So, can you let us investigate that later?”

“There’s no need.”

“Yes… it’s an excessive request. It’s just that I’m impatient.”

“I’ll ask Yanho later.”

“Will you?”

“It’s not difficult.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

The Dark King nodded repeatedly, but Wei Jeonghan’s expression remained somber. In fact, it was becoming even more somber.

“…Why did you change your expression?”

“Ah, sorry. I was thinking about something else.”

Wei Jeonghan came back to reality and shook his head. It wasn’t the time to think about that.

“Just absorb it. You don’t need to filter anything.”

“Huh?”

“The Dark King said you’re immune to all poisons. There won’t be a problem if you absorb the poison.”

“Ah!”

Wei Yanho smiled in realization.

He looked at Jin Soah:

“Soah.”

“Yes, young master Wei.”

“Did you say you’ve improved?”

“Yes. I’m not ashamed to be the leader of the Sacred Hand Hall. Although I haven’t reached my father’s level, I think he’d be proud of me.”

“Good job.”

Wei Yanho smiled and pointed at Wei Jeonghan:

“Examine my father.”

“Huh?”

“It seems like he has dementia.”

“…Huh?”

“Does it make sense for a father to tell his son to take poison to cure someone else?”

“…”

Jin Soah looked at Wei Jeonghan doubtfully.

“N… no, wait. It’s not that.”

That guy is immune to all poisons! He can take some poison!

“It’s normal at his age. We must treat him quickly.”

“…Brat.”

“It’s okay, Father.”

Wei Yanho smiled:

“There’s no shame in being sick. Treat it quickly.”

“Damn brat!”

Wei Jeonghan hit Wei Yanho’s head.

“Why are you hitting me?!”

“You shouldn’t say that to your father!”

“You shouldn’t tell your son to take poison!”

“That’s different!”

“It’s not different!”

Jin Soah smiled at the sight of father and son fighting.

‘It’s a good scene for someone who grew up without a father.’

It was a touching, but strange scene.
