Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 328

Chapter 328: The Slacker Causes Trouble (3)

“Why do humans need to eat to live?”

It wasn’t a philosophical question. He was simply bored. Wei Yanho enjoyed good food, but he only enjoyed it while he was eating it.

Moving wasn’t enjoyable.

“Well, it’s not that bad.”

Wei Yanho smiled as he felt the sun.

They say that people need tranquility to see things clearly. Normally, Wei Yanho would hate going out, but after resting for a long time, he felt more relaxed.

Taking a walk in the sun wasn’t so bad.

Besides, no one was telling him what to do. He wanted to stay in the imperial palace and enjoy himself.

“But that’s impossible.”

Dreaming is a waste of time. He had already learned that after a good day, a bad day comes.

“But after so much suffering, shouldn’t there only be good days?”

Thinking about the suffering he had endured when meeting Baek Muhan in the cave, even a life full of good days would be insufficient.

“Ah, my fate…”

Wei Yanho looked at the sky.

“Right, master?”

Wei Yanho knew that the situation was serious. The tranquility he was enjoying was a mirage.

There were already signs of division. When everything exploded, peace would disappear from the martial world.

‘Should I go to a faraway country?’

He didn’t want to suffer in the middle of the chaos. But Wei Yanho shook his head:

“Forget it. Even there, there will be problems.”

Problems are caused by people, not by the land. Where there are people, there are problems. Wei Yanho had learned a long time ago that the safest place is his bed.

And he was now out of bed. Wei Yanho hurried back when he realized the danger.

But he was slow.

Wei Yanho, who was walking slowly, stretched:

“Ugh!”

Wei Yanho’s body was always in top condition, but because he had rested for a long time, it was stiff.

That wasn’t good for a warrior, but so what? He wasn’t going to fight in the imperial palace.

‘How peaceful.’

People said that the imperial palace was a snake pit, but for Wei Yanho, there wasn’t a more peaceful place.

Perhaps because he hadn’t experienced much…

“Hey.”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho turned his head:

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho frowned slightly:

“Who are you?”

Wei Yanho had to think seriously when he heard that question.

“My master said I shouldn’t judge people by their appearance.”

But he was too typical to ignore.

Delicate eyebrows, round eyes, thick and red lips, a soft chin… how to say it?

“Are you… cute?”

Well…

Objectively, he was cute. He was a very cute child. Even Wei Yanho, who didn’t have a fondness for children, had to admit it.

But even though he was cute, he felt something uncomfortable. It was strange that someone so cute wasn’t likeable.

“Is it because of your expression?”

Wei Yanho tilted his head.

Wei Yanho hadn’t judged Baek Geomyeong disguised as Nokmokpung by his appearance.

Appearance can’t be changed with effort. It’s silly to judge people by their appearance.

‘…But…’

But he didn’t like that child.

Wei Yanho looked at the child carefully:

“Yes, it’s because of your expression.”

Wei Yanho smiled as he realized.

His slightly raised lips and his eyes that seemed to look at others with disdain irritated people.

Was it arrogance?

“What are you saying?”

“Huh?”

“I asked you. Who are you?”

“Eh…”

Wei Yanho began to think.

He was lazy by nature, and he was used to people treating him badly.

There are reasons and excuses for all flaws, but laziness has no excuses.

He had endured the insults and the whispers… but…

“You brat!”

Seeing that child speak irritated him.

“Brat?”

The child’s eyes sparkled.

“Don’t call me a brat! Insignificant!”

“Wow…”

Wei Yanho grabbed his chest.

It was the first time he had heard such an elegant insult. But that insult irritated him.

‘The classics are classics for a reason.’

Wei Yanho almost became enlightened when he realized that it was effective because it was simple.

He only stopped because he became enlightened, otherwise, he would have been the first warrior to become enlightened by an insult.

Wei Yanho shouted angrily:

“Are you from the imperial family?”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho began to interrogate the child. There are people you shouldn’t bother, even if you hate them.

“Are you from the imperial family?”

“No.”

“Are you the son of an important official?”

“No?”

“Do you have important relatives?”

“What are you saying? I’m not like that.”

“Ah, yes?”

Wei Yanho looked at the child suspiciously:

“Don’t tell lies. Do you have relatives who are officials?”

“No.”

“Do you have relatives from the imperial family?”

“No, you idiot!”

Wei Yanho had an epiphany and a question at the same time.

“Seriously, you don’t have any relationships?”

“No.”

“Then why are you fighting?”

“Fighting?”

The child kicked Wei Yanho’s shin.

*Bang!*

“Aaaaaah!”

Then he started rolling on the ground.

“It’s not self-defense.”

He was simply beaten.

“I’ll kill you!”

The child stood up and looked at Wei Yanho angrily.

But Wei Yanho was angry:

“What did I do?”

“You hurt me!”

“I didn’t hurt you! You hurt yourself by kicking me!”

“Insolent brat!”

Wei Yanho clicked his tongue as he saw the child:

“You talk like an old man.”

“You’ve made a mistake.”

“Huh?”

The child began to laugh:

“When you realize what you’ve done, you’ll kneel and beg me to forgive you.”

“Yes, yes.”

Wei Yanho waved his hands:

“Yes, forgive me. I’ll thank you forever. Yes.”

The child looked at Wei Yanho angrily:

“You’ll pay the price.”

“Yes, I understand. Can I leave?”

“Kikikikik!”

The child’s expression turned cruel:

“It’s too late. Even if you beg for forgiveness, I won’t forgive you. I’ll tear off your nails, burn your skin with a red-hot iron, and cut off your flesh, and I’ll remember your expression.”

Wei Yanho looked at the child seriously:

‘How can a child say that?’

Wei Yanho didn’t believe that the child was innocent. Children could be innocent, but not good. Children smile when they take the wings and legs off insects.

Children are weak, but strong children can be more cruel than adults.

Even so, what the child said was excessive. It was surprising that a child would say that calmly.

“You’re ruthless.”

“You’ll regret it. Not only you, no one in your family will survive.”

“Oh, how scary.”

“Hahaha, but I’m merciful, so I’ll give you a chance. If you take out your eyes and eat them, I’ll forgive you. If not…”

“Wait.”

Wei Yanho interrupted the child:

“You’re too extreme. Where are your parents?”

“I don’t have parents!”

“Ah, I see.”

“You dare…”

“But that’s not an excuse. There are bad children with parents, and good children without parents. I’m an example of the former!”

Wei Yanho pointed to himself:

“What are you saying?”

“I’ll turn you into an example of the second.”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho shrugged:

“It’s annoying, but it’s uncomfortable to leave such a bad child without doing anything. It won’t take long, so I’ll give you a lesson in the name of your parents.”

“A lesson?”

The child smiled:

“Do you think you can teach me? Even the best scholars consider me a child prodigy. You can’t teach me.”

“Yes, I can.”

“How? Are you going to discuss classics or poems with me?”

“Tsk tsk tsk.”

Wei Yanho waved his fingers:

“You’re a child. You don’t know anything.”

“What don’t I know?”

“That dead knowledge is useless. You’re young and you don’t know the world, but there’s only one truth in the world.”

Curiosity appeared on the child’s face for the first time.

“What is it?”

“It’s simple. Children need discipline.”

“What?”

At that moment, Wei Yanho kicked the child in the butt.

*Bang!*

The child flew away like a rocket.

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

Wei Yanho muttered as he heard the child’s scream:

“Seeing is believing… ah, should I have said it before kicking him?”

Well, so what.

I’ll tell him when he comes down.
