What is the objective appeal of a monkey’s looks, really? Even with the most generous interpretation, one might call it cute, but beautiful or elegant? That would be stretching it. Seolyeong knew this, which is why he added, “A monkey is such a clever creature, is it not? Since your tree-climbing skills are exceptional, I meant it as a compliment, out of deep respect.” Had Choseon been conscious, he would have told him to shut up before he made the atmosphere any more awkward, but…- 253.5 K • Completed
- The falcon soaring through the skies had spotted its target. Its yellow ringed pupils, gleamed. In an instant, the falcon dove and snatched Seolyeong’s hair with its curved beak. Surrounded by sharp-eyed and sharp-eared scholars, he had been listening to speculations that the lost boy might have been abducted by a human trafficking ring. He frowned. “What the hell is this!” As the hairpin was pulled free, his hair scattered in all directions. Silky black strands flowed down his pale…

- The Sect Leader had left the mountain in his true form. If this news reached the orthodox factions, there would undoubtedly be an uproar. Those who harbored grudges against him might seize this chance for vengeance. Hence, countless followers pleaded to accompany him as bodyguards, but this was the Cheonsin, the great demon who had crushed the Nine Great Sects and annihilated the Five Noble Clans’ strongholds. He leisurely descended Mount Yeonhu alone. Easily vaulting over the Sacheon city gate using…

- The Sect Leader’s bride had been absent for several days. A bride who had yet to hold a proper wedding ceremony, vanishing of hid own accord, how disgraceful. Naturally, rumors were starting to circulate within the Demonic Sect. And in Sacheon, the gossip was already in full swing: that a dazzlingly beautiful blood fiend was searching high and low across the province for a child. It was because Seolyeong had blatantly revealed his identity. When he’d gone around with ordinary-colored eyes, few…

- A deadly silence loomed over the Yurigung’s Akbindang Hall. Blood splatter stained the painted birds and flowers on the ceiling. One bird, its teal wings half-stained a dark red, looked like prey struck down mid-flight. Yuwon’s face bore an anxious expression as she looked at the bloodied and barely conscious Si Pungjae. Half of her heart ached like a physician treating a patient at death’s door, and the other half as a woman desperate to save someone she cherished. But this was Akbindang, hall…

- It had been a short nap. Though he had only closed his eyes for a moment, Tang Yujae felt as refreshed as if he had slept for three days straight. He stirred and slowly woke up. “You can sleep a little more, ahae.” Seolyeong, still holding the boy in his arms with a hint of sleep in his eyes, suddenly asked, as if struck by curiosity, “By the way, what’s your name?” Come to think of it, he still didn’t know the boy’s name. Tang Yujae felt a strange sensation realizing the bride…

- The object of imitation was undoubtedly someone from the orthodox sects. Tang Yujae could vaguely guess what kind of image the wild and untamed bride wanted to present to others. He clearly wanted to be the model of a righteous orthodox man, one who upheld the law of the strong but claimed to base it on chivalry, an absurd notion constantly spouted by the so-called righteous. But it was a wish that would never come true. Blood fiends could hardly feel human emotions. They were incapable of what…

- Seolyeong and Choseon, who had been competing to see who could feed the boy meat first, finally ended their fight in a draw. After that, a pointless argument continued. “Isn’t Master way prettier?” “Oh, please. Look at the men around here. They’re all staring at me, not you. That proves I’m way prettier, doesn’t it, sweetie?” Now they were making a fuss asking the boy to pick which of them was prettier. Tang Yujae simply watched the two of them bicker away without…

- After the Sacheon Tang clan disappeared from the history of the martial world, the family that came to possess the land once occupied by their estate was none other than the Peng clan of Habuk, now one of the Five Noble Clans. The Peng clan had long held numerous carriers of extreme yang constitutions, so they frequently formed marriage alliances with the Sacheon Tang clan, which often produced extreme yin-bodies. That gave them a plausible pretext to claim the land. The Peng clan asserted ownership of…

- From that day on, Seolhyeon completely ignored her older brother.Even when Seolyeong approached with her favorite snacks in hand, he was always turned away by the servants. “The young lady is very upset, young master.” “Can’t you sneak me in?” “If we do that, we’ll be the ones in trouble… you know how Miss Seolhyeon is.” Ugh. Left with no choice, he shared the honey-glazed fruit with the children he taught. A grassy field where balsams bloomed.One child lay using…
