Cheonma wants to live quietly - Chapter 15

Translator: Darling | Editor: Nebosuke

“What should we do?”

Taesan hesitated after Gyeongwan’s question.

Taesan knew exactly what his status like more than what he thought.

It looked like he didn’t plan when he doing things, but in fact, he knew his limits.

He wouldn’t be in a dilemma if the guy hidden with the blood smell in the darkness was only one.

However, the problem was that there were two guys.

The guy who lost his arm yesterday and another guy he brought along with him.

The guy who lost his arm was far. Perhaps Gyeongwan didn’t sense him either.

The guy closer was stronger than the guy who lost his arm.

He had stronger force and quality with a more bloody smell.

Still, Gyeongwan could handle one of them.

In the past, he was not sure but now he can.

The problem was the other guy.

“Well… We can handle this.”

After analyzing, Taesan ordered Gyeongwan, “Go and kill.”

The order to kill made Gyeongwan and Yoo intimidated.

However, Gyeongwan became calm and nodded his head.

Then, he dashed.

Rip!

There was a fierce sound inside the darkness.

Yoo looked surprised.

“There was one.”

Why couldn’t she sense it while they were hiding just over there? Even Gyeongwan and Taesan realized someone was hiding over there.

Yoo’s vision was heading to Taesan.

“Look over there, not me.”

“Sorry?”

“It isn’t just one guy.”

At that moment, Yoo felt chill on her back.

She swiftly took her sword out.

Somebody was approaching quickly. It was so quick that if she wasn’t alerted, she would have been attacked.

Stab!

Yoo quickly swung her sword so she couldn’t put all of her energy into it.

Still, it was sufficient that she blocked the counterattack.

Yoo was hiding Taesan and she looked at the opponent.

It was the guy who lost his arm yesterday.

The guy began to smile. As he fought with Yoo, he found out about her abilities.

He didn’t have an arm but he thought he could fight her.

He didn’t need to win. He only had one goal.

The guy approached again.

Stab!

Yoo desperately defended the guy’s attack. Then, the guy was trying to attack any point.

It seemed like an intense battle as the guy held a slight advantage.

Yoo knew that so she was becoming anxious.

If Gyeongwan didn’t come back after fighting the battle over there, she thought she might struggle to defend Taesan.

However, she will somehow defend him.

That’s because Harin wanted him.

Yoo’s sword moved roughly and quickly.

The guy pretended to defend the attack and actually put out less power.

Naturally, he was pushing behind.

Yoo aggressively charged forward for an attack.

“Tsk, the ones with a lack of experience are obvious in such situations.”

Taesan’s voice coming from behind awakened Yoo.

Something popped up below the feet.

It was a small flame.

It was a trap set up by the guy. Of course, it wasn’t to harm but to distract someone.

Then, Yoo perfectly fell for it.

The guy naturally moved off to Yoo’s side.

Yoo stabbed guy’s back by swinging the sword.

Stab!

‘Too weak!’

Yoo made an urgent face and forcefully twisted her body and ran.

There was a cracking sound all over her body but she didn’t care.

Yoo was quickly dashing to guy’s back which was bleeding due to the long sword.

However, the guy was in front of Taesan.

“No!”

Yoo put more energy on her sword.

Stab!

The knife stabbed guy’s back.

Then guy’s knife stabbed Taesan’s heart.

“Huh?”

The guy even made a weird noise.

Yoo couldn’t even make such a noise. She was so surprised that she opened her eyes wide and looked at the scene that Taesan made with the guy.

The guy’s knife was sandwiched between Taesan’s armpit.

It stabbed the empty space between the armpit instead of Taesan’s heart.

At that moment, Taesan’s hand hit the guy’s chin with a beautiful gesture.

It was literally a slap.

A slap that was like gently touching a cute child.

The guy stumbled and collapsed to the side. Collapsed.

Yoo just gawked at the scene.

“What are you doing while standing like that? Clean it up.”

“Yes, I should clean up.”

Yoo was wondering and looked at the guy who collapsed on the ground. He died.

She looked at the corpse and Taesan with surprise.

‘How?’

Her head was full of confusion.

“Well… the spirit is worth it.”

Yoo just looked at Taesan. That comment somehow made her feel better.

Gyeongwan came back.

Then, he put his head down in front of Taesan.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine that you know.”

Taesan pointed at the corpse.

“Keep the corpse.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

There were things to investigate from this corpse.

For example, the guy’s face, the heartbeat filled with energy, the possession he was carrying, and tattoos or body shape. Everything was worth investigating.

‘I don’t know who would dare to do such things.’

In Cheonma society, there were people who specialized in such things.

People who were obsessed with corpses.

Taesan ordered to take the corpse considering those guys, but there was no big expectation.

“Then, let’s go.”

As Taesan started walking, Yoo asked in a panic, “Are you still going to the brothel after experiencing such things?”

“Since I experienced such things, I should go.”

In Taesan’s perspective, it was obvious.

Because he used energy to kill that guy, the major heartbeat which he connected was about to disconnect.

In order to make it stronger, he needed more spirit.

That’s why he needed to go to the brothel and absorb filthy spirits.

While he was walking, Gyeongwan spoke behind him.

“My Prince, you are going in the wrong direction. There is no brothel over there.”

Taesan stopped walking and looked back.

Then, he gave a pathetic look to Gyeongwan and Yoo.

“Why did I come here? It is an isolated place without a brothel.”

“Sorry? That’s because…..”

Gyeongwan was about to say, “Because we went the wrong way,” but he decided to stay quiet.

Taesan wouldn’t make such a mistake as a genius with good senses.

“You guys are slacking off with your training?”

Taesan’s comment upset Yoo. She was confident that when it came to training, she had more passion than anyone else.

Of course, she felt that she was a bit behind when she observed Gyeongwan’s training, but she didn’t agree as she heard such a comment from Taesan.

“I will listen to your words.”

Yoo looked at him in surprise as he made such a comment.

Was he insane to make such a comment?

“It’s always good to open your senses whether you are training, eating, or sleeping.”

Yoo opened her mouth.

What was he saying? How many people could do that in this world?

Then, she couldn’t resist speaking.

“How many people can do that?”

Taesan responded immediately.

“A lot. I know five hundred people do that. There will be more people including those I don’t know.”

Taesan laughed and looked at Yoo.

“Well, it’s not too bad to live like you who set your own limits.”

Yoo was in shock after hearing Taesan, completely thunderstruck.

Taesan tapped Yoo’s shoulder by approaching her.

“Wake up.”

Yoo was surprised and woke herself up.

Then, she looked at Taesan with an upset feeling.

She thought she would be grasping something but she was awakened by Taesan.

“Don’t do it here but do it when you have spare time. If you can’t hold to it when you do again, it means it wasn’t yours from the beginning.”

Taesan then turned his body and began walking again.

Yoo seemed to be possessed by it and then began to follow him.

To the side, Gyeongwan followed.

“You got a good gift. The prince must like you.”

That comment reminded Yoo of what Taesan said himself.

‘Has a good fighting spirit………..’

Yoo began to smile without realizing it.

“Where is this place?”

“The place that smells like blood.”

Gyeongwan looked at the collapsing house as Taesan spoke to him.

Then, the comment Taesan made before came again.

‘Did the prince continue to train his senses? Constantly?’

Is this why he could follow the guy’s traits as his senses were open all the time?

“Is this the house where the guy was staying?”

“Of course not.”

“Sorry?”

“Why would I go all the way there not knowing who might be there?”

Gyeongwan just looked at Taesan.

Yoo thought Taesan behaved strangely. She thought he was a person who would take an action spontaneously but it wasn’t.

“Then…………”

“I will just check.”

He didn’t know what Taesan was going to check but he thought whatever.

How could he dare to measure Taesan’s thoughts?

Gyeongwan and Yoo looked at Taesan with nervous looks.

“I thought it would only smell like blood…”

Taesan gave a mysterious smile.

“I also smell makeup.”

Taesan then turned his body.

“Let’s go back now.”

Gyeongwan and Yoo just saw Taesan walking.

Nothing was certain but something was going on, starting from Taesan.

With a committed look, the two people’s faces and atmosphere following Taesan were similar.

“What are you thinking about?” Gyeongwan asked and Yoo gave a bitter smile while waking herself up.

“Well… just some thoughts.”

Yoo gave Gyeongwan a mysterious look.

“You know how to make a personal conversation.”

Gyeongwan subtly avoided eye contact with her. Still, it was hard for him to make direct eye contact.

“In such cases, you can continue your acknowledgment which you acquired before. It will be long until it is over.”

Yoo gave a weird look.

She looked at Gyeongwan, then turned her head to see the room which Taesan entered.

There was constant noise that sounded like moans or screams for a long time.

Her view was toward the corpse which was in front of Gyeongwan.

“Do you expect me to organize my acknowledgment in such a situation?”

Gyeongwan spoke while looking at Yoo.

“The prince told you this. If that acknowledgment is yours then you can obtain it anytime.”

Yoo had a different memory of it, but the context was similar.

‘Who cares about the surroundings? Let’s just do it.’

“Then one moment please.”

“Take your time.”

Yoo gently smiled at Gyeongwan. Then, she closed her eyes and focused to get hold of the acknowledgment.

Then, she went on infinitely.

Gyeongwan looked at Yoo and gave a bitter laugh.

When it came to talent, she had more talent than him.

He protected her like a steel tower while listening to the noise as background music.
