By the next morning, the news that the Mad Bride would be entering the Sect Leader’s chambers the very next day had already reached Yuwon’s ears. One of the attendants helping her get dressed had whispered it to her. She said the bride kept dodging the consummation night preparations and worried that, at this rate, all the sisters of Yeohwa Hall might be punished by the Sect Leader. She hoped nothing would happen to the older sisters she was close with, but she also thought the new bride was being…- 253.5 K • Completed
- Not knowing what went on in Tang Yujae’s head, Seolyeong was simply pleased, convinced that his disciple was attached to him. If things kept going this way, becoming a close master and disciple was all but guaranteed. He paid not the slightest attention to Si Pungjae, who trailed after them like a shadow, and continued his plans with the boy. “Look. That’s a snow plum blossom.” A red flower blooming proudly amidst the snow, Seolyeong had discovered it while wandering around…

- From that day on, Seolyeong spent his daily life with the boy. Whenever he thought of Seonwol-do, which had been taken from him by that deputy of Seongseodang, he would go looking for the boy. ‘When am I going to get my mutt back…’ Was it because he had no one else to rely on that he kept clinging to the child? Had he latched onto an easy target because he had nowhere else to place his feelings? If that were the case, then this couldn’t be a proper master-disciple…

- If there was a problem, it was that he didn’t think at all. Even Sahyeol Amje himself couldn’t understand why he was putting up with all of the bride’s meddling. “Here. Start with a chicken leg.” Yeonhwa Hall, formal dining room. Seolyeong tore apart a chicken boiled with ginseng, blew gently on the meat and placed it on the boy’s plate. Even the seating arrangement was peculiar. He had stuck close to the boy’s side like a leech. “You have to eat plenty of meat from a young…

- The way the man spoke as if he were certain he held the upper hand made Seolyeong sick to his stomach. But it was the truth. The one holding the information was the deputy leader, and he was the one desperately in need of it, so he had no choice but to concede. Picking a pointless fight would only make things worse for himself. What if the deputy leader got offended and suddenly refused to hand the child over? So Seolyeong exercised as much patience as he could. His hand trembled. “I… I was…

- His determination was praiseworthy, at least. Tang Yujae had secretly followed the bride who set off for Sakeum Mountain and was quietly watching him as he dug a hole with a stolen shovel, completely absorbed in the task. It had already been half a day, since he not only dug a hole but also took the time to fill it back in afterward. Sakeum Mountain was overflowing with ironwood trees. To exaggerate a little, nearly every tree here was an ironwood. No matter how much he sweated and dug, there was no…

- Tang Yujae generally disliked three types of people. First, orthodox sect members. Second, those who went on about righteousness and justice. Third, people who talked too much. Unfortunately, his bride matched all three. If they had met in battle, Tang Yujae wouldn’t have stopped at simply killing him. He would have made it much crueler. Thud. The bride slumped into a chair with his head bowed low. “You mean… he’s dead?” Far from being dead, he was in the middle of a…

- How much time had passed? When Seolyeong glanced down, expecting the child to be asleep, he found the boy wide awake, staring up at him. His pupils were black, almost no light reflected in them. According to the old folks, eyes like that belonged to beasts. Human eyes were supposed to carry a hint of brown. So Seolyeong became curious. Sometimes old beasts turned into spirit creatures and wore human skin. Could the boy in his arms be one of those? Before he could even question him, the boy…

- His first time? Mae Inyeong was at a loss for words, she just opened and closed her crimson lips. Hadn’t it been at least half a month since the Mad Bride entered the sect? Of course, she had already heard the rumors that he was rejected on their wedding night. But for it to last this long was hard to comprehend. Even to Mae Inyeong, who was used to being around renowned beauties, the Mad Bride was quite the looker. Surely Cheonsin would have been satisfied and taken him to bed by now. Inyeong…

- The Sect Leader is nearby. There was no doubt about it, and yet Inyeong still couldn’t find him. The streets were packed with people. Her sharp eyes glinted like a wildcat’s. Her glossy irises bore resemblance to her sister Mae Somyeong’s. A low voice echoed in her mind. –Too far. Stay calm. A flush spread across Mae Inyeong’s cheeks. –Sect Leader, what brings you here without a word? If I’d known, I would have taken more time preparing myself. She was a fanatic among…
