Chapter 781: Yong-haeng-ho-bo (12)
The Dragon King welcomed Yoon Yeorangs offer.
[I cant believe the day has come when I get a bow from children. You got to give me some New Years money to give them, Hwangryong.]
Ill arrange something else instead.
There are no cash-filled envelopes in the Dragon Palace, but there are countless treasures here.
Hwangryong mobilized several Unryongs, a group of them to retrieve treasures and another to lay silk to make room for a New Years bow.
Other than the Dragon King and Hwangryong, the other dragons looked excited too.
Cheongryong, do you want us to bow too?
We should, the Dragon King is very happy. Of course, we should receive bows from our newly welcomed family too.
Theres a problem then. I have nothing to offer to the shamans once they bow. I only prepared Junyeols share.
Well have to ask Hwangryong.
The dragons responded quickly.
Well, they only ever receive bows from Yeom Junyeol every year so its understandable.
Meanwhile, the tigers and I tried to step back and watch, but Yong Jegun didnt allow it.
Shinrok-ah, do you wanna bow too?
The offer wasnt to receive a bow from the shamans but to offer a bow as well.
It was a very Yong Jegun-esque suggestion.
Before Kim Shinrok could resound, the other tigers were quick to accept.
It will be the first New Years bow from my son. Hwangho, do you have anything on you?
Youre talking as if you entrusted me with something. Even if you dont ask, if our descendant offers us a bow, well give him anything.
Ill tell Hwangryong to prepare a share for that child as well.
It seems that Cheongryong wants a bow from Kim Shinrok too.
The tigers and the dragons, who had been in a war of nerves since earlier, suddenly hit it off.
Not only is Kim Shinrok caught in Yong Jeguns tricks, but he will also be bowing three times.
Kim Shinrok, who never imagined that after thousands of years, he would be bowing like a child would do, stared blankly at the tigers and dragons who talked amicably.
It seems that he belatedly thought about what to do to Yong Jegun, the source of his misery, but it was difficult to attack him since the two clans were reaching an agreement.
As if teasing him, Yong Jegun had his eyes wide open too.
Hwangho, please prepare a New Years gift for Jo Euishin too.
Of course.
We should prepare one for the Dragon Clans benefactor too. The Unryongs are very busy today.
Dont be ridiculous. You dont think that Jo Eushin, the Tiger Clans benefactor, will bow to the Dragon Clan, do you? Jo Euishin, if youre going to do it, do it only to us.
Hwangho, were in the Dragon Palace, and the Dragon King is here too.
The sparks suddenly all flew to me.
I dont feel reluctant to bow since everyone is very old, but I dont want to do it because I think theyll give me excessive stuff after.
Yoon Yeorang seemed to feel the same way.
She was wide-eyed when she saw the gold and silver treasures, and then she said,
Please just give me your words of blessings!
[Ill give you my best wishes too.]
I felt the Dragon Kings strong will.
Except for the new Shaman Hong whose face clearly says Ill take it if its given, everyone looked reluctant.
In the end, I was also made to bow, but after fierce negotiations, I decided to only do it to the Dragon King.
The tigers said something expressing their disappointment, but Im sure theyll be satisfied with their descendants bow.
Its a relief that Kim Shinrok is here.
[Happy New Year.]
The Dragon King was very happy to receive a New Year Days bow from the shamans, the Dragon Clan, and I, and handed over lucky loot bags with his blessing symbolized by five colors.
When it was my turn to get close to the Dragon King
[If you dont have any other responsibilities, I would like you to fill Shaman Noks spot.]
I felt the Dragon Kings voice ring in my head.
It was something he didnt want the others to hear.
Indeed, if the others had heard, those who had to go through a rigorous test to become a shaman might feel slighted.
Im sure the tigers wouldnt sit idly by too, and theyll spout some nonsense about me being the Tiger Clans benefactor.
But Ive got a lot of things to shoulder.
A lot has to be done to stop the Black Screen.
[Im a blessed dragon to receive great help from the benefactor, and a New Years bow too.]
This time, the Dragon Kings voice was heard through my ears.
The Dragon King handed me a bag, acting as if he hadnt said anything to me in secret.
Looking at the bag, I felt an unusual power.
Hwangryong, Cheongryong, and Yong Jegun stared carefully as if they recognized it too.
[Take these scales. These are the same scales I gave to Yong Jegun in the distant past. I will allow you to go anywhere in the Dragon Palace, and I will come to you if you ask for help.]
The same scales as Yong Jegun that means these are closest to his Yeokrin!
It was a precious scale that contained the Dragon Kings novelty, and it grew most rarely.
When did they grow back?
Its been thousands of years since Yong Jegun received his. It looks like theyve just grown back.
Listening to Hwangryong and Cheongryongs words made it harder to receive.
When he saw that I couldnt accept the bag, the Dragon King added an additional blow.
[Dont you like it? Take it first, and then Ill give you a better gift.
No, its just its difficult for me to receive something so big like this
[Whats invaluable is the grace that you gave to the Dragon Clan.]
If I didnt take it, I feel like he would give me a bigger gift.
What if he cut off his horn?
I should think of this scale as an asset for later, not for me.
I dont think he was bluffing when he said hed get me a better gift, so I decided to take the scales after much consideration.
When the bag came over to my hand, the Dragon King spoke with satisfaction.
[I am good at healing. The same goes for the shamans who received my strength. Dont forget that.]
Even after receiving the gift, the Dragon King gave me some warm words.
The holiday atmosphere continued even after the bows.
A banquet was held to celebrate the succession ceremony of the new shamans, and it felt like a true holiday meal.
Congratulations on officially becoming a shaman.
Thank you. Ill do my best to catch up to you, Euishin oppa!
I congratulated Yoon Yeorang, but her responses focus was slightly off.
What does she mean to catch up with me?
Was it about her light skill that I used?
Unlike in PMH, Yoon Yeorang will grow with the support of the Dragon King and the Dragon Clan.
She doesnt have to emulate me because shell be more powerful than the character I developed in PMH.
The fans that you showed last time were exactly what I wanted to make, Euishin oppa. Seeing them inspired me! Id like some advice, is that okay?
Of course.
I felt the other shamans eyes on me as I talked to Yoon Yeorang.
Perhaps the power I used during the advent ceremony was on their minds.
Common sense would tell them that the power I used wasnt something that a high school student who had no connection to the Dragon Clan would have.
Seeing that the Dragon Clan and the Dragon King didnt say much about me, it seemed that there were many things on their mind even though suspicion wasnt raised.
Ill grant your wish, Euishin-ah.
After exchanging words with the shamans, I was caught by Yong Jegun.
Flashing his cyan eyes, Yong Jegun spoke.
I already made a wish.
You mean when you told me not to ascend in the Dragon Palace? You see, I have no desire to ascend. That makes your wish invalid.
Until when is he going to bug me about that wish?
Should I wish for him not to ask me about it anymore?
I dont think itll work though, hell just make anything he doesnt like as invalid.
As if he saw right through me, Yong Jegun was as persistent as ever.
If I had known that Shinrok fought so well, I wouldve changed my mind sooner and prepared another with for you.
You seemed to be busy preparing for ascension, Professor Yong Jegun, so I couldnt find the opportunity to speak.
But Euishin-ah, you couldve made it work if you wanted to, right?
Yeom Junyeol sunbaenim attended the energy wave link training too. But you were away, Professor, so I thought you had no regrets about this world anymore.
I recalled Yong Jeguns actions on the brink of his ascension.
He was insensitively spewing about ascension, his actions quite ugly to see.
I respect whatever choice my playable characters make, but considering how he looked like then, I wanted to work with Kmi Shinrok to trap Yong Jegun in a tack trap.
Everyone wouldve dissuaded me if they found out that I had lingering feelings.
I thought Yong Jegun would play tricks, but he answered seriously.
His face had no laughter when he said that.
Perhaps he did what hes done so we wouldnt stop him.
But isnt it because of Shinrok that I didnt know about the energy wave link?
Yong Jegun smiled again.
I pretended not to know.
As the time to leave for the Dragon Palace approached, Yong Jegun was busy organizing his personal affairs.
Thats why I couldnt tell him about the energy wave link test that we did after the light skill training.
I could have called him if I wanted to, yes, but I didnt.
Kim Shinrok didnt understand why Yong Jegun wanted to ascend. He needed time to realize for himself.
Kim Shinrok, Yong Jeguns close friend, going to the Dragon Palace means that the Dragon Clan would follow him around.
As expected, he interacted with the dragons in the palace and gradually realized things about Yong Jeguns ascension.
Thats why Kim Shinrok held onto Yong Jegun with his own will and erased the latters reason to ascend.
Yong Jegun looked ecstatic as if he read my mind.
I keep receiving from Euishin, so you should tell me your wish soon.
No matter how I look at it, it seems like hes not doing it to repay the favor but just to enjoy himself.
Kim Shinrok, who had been caught by the tigers since the New Years bow, came this way.
Stop bothering Jo Euishin-gun.
Im not bothering him. Im trying to return the favor.
How?
How do you think?
Yong Jegun was talking nonsense and jabbing at Kim Shinrok.
To get out of the wish trap, I took advantage of the gap and tried to leave.
However, I was caught by an old guy who was as persistent as Yong Jegun.
Jo Euishin, dont you have any intention of bowing to me now? I dont mean to see you and treat you as a subordinate. I just want to give you words of blessing and cash.
Hwang Jiho didnt interact with the Dragon Clan with an attitude fitting for the head of the Tiger Clan.
Hes been talking nonsense since he got here.
Maybe its because of the deep connection with the other clan that Hwang Jiho has been very talkative.
The past week was fun, and there was a lot of ridiculous conversation. You had a lot to say.
Didnt you notice me to speak on some occasions? It was cumbersome just to hide Hwangho with my fog, but everything else was chaotic too.
There were times when I felt like it was Hwang Jiho who ordered Jeokho to talk to me, and I seemed to be right.
Im very curious as to how he reacted when I was referred to as Yong Jeguns student.
Those dragons will call you their benefactor, and then theyll make you wander outside the Korean Peninsula. I was frustrated because I couldnt even say a word. Oh, and thats when I wanted to say this.
What is he talking about?
I dont think its very important.
Theres no Heukho among the Tiger Clan.
Come to think of it, that topic was also raised.
Hwangryong talked about the similarity of the two clans, with the representative colors being the obangsaek.
If I have to fill the vacancy, I want you to be the one who takes it.
I suddenly remembered what the Crow Devil King said.
And that missing X must have a deep connection with the Tiger Clan and the Bear Clan. It will be trouble.
There must be someone in this world who disappeared without anyone knowing.
And whoever it is, they likely have a deep connection with the Tiger Clan and Bear Clan.
And
They havent noticed Xs absence for thousands of years. They lack objectivity. The experience, connection, affection, and conviction they gained together will hinder objective thinking.
The Tiger Clan cannot objectively judge its absence.
