Chapter 138: Chapter 137
Chu Marley was surprised. She didn’t realize by the look of it, the tingling, and the unusual way of speaking, but when she saw his Adam’s Adam’s apple, she realized it.
“Hnngh, are you surprised that I’m a man?”
“B-but…”
“So, why don’t you put down that barbaric and dangerous thing? You can trust me.”
Ha Goyun shouted in a shrill voice at the words.
“Bhante said all men were wolves!”
The man tilted his head at her words that Deuk would be sad to hear.
“That’s a generalization error, miss. You shouldn’t be speaking Ji Myunglish. There is a man you can trust.”
Chu Marley and Ha Goyun tilted their heads at what the beautiful man said was ‘Ji Myunglish.’
Then the beautiful man glistened his eyes.
“The bracelet on your wrist. Who gave it to you?”
“What?”
“It’s a bracelet called the Pain Instigating Ball. Hnngh…? …Perhaps you know a man named Ji Chulmook?”
Ha Goyun tilted his head at the question and soon came up with the name.
“Oh! You mean the man who’s coming to Chuishiung Manor with Kang Hyuk Teacher?”
“Kang Hyuk? Chuisung Manor?”
It was first time a look of surprise came to his graceful and relaxed face.
“Yes, I heard they are friend of bhante.”
“Bhante?”
“Yes, Bhante Ji Myung.”
“This is a tragedy! Oh, G.o.d! How can such a beautiful lady live with such an ignorant and filthy fellow like you?”
“What you said?”
“You really haven’t changed a bit! I told you not to wear same clothes again and again.”
“They’re all the same. What’s the difference?”
“Even if it’s the same shape, each clothes has a different sense!”
“Ugh, just shut up!”
Chu Marley and Ha Goyun, who brought the man, were cooking hard in the kitchen whether they were arguing or not, not caring about them. Ha Goyun, who was tr.i.m.m.i.n.g vegetables next to Chu Marley, called to her.
“Marley, you were very surprised by the name of the pretty man. Why were you surprised?”
“Oh, that’s…….”
Chu Marley sighed.
“It’s because he’s such a famous person.”
“Why is he famous?”
“He is a very strong man.”
“That guy? But he doesn’t look like that.”
“It’s wrong to judge a person by appearances.”
Ha Goyun immediately reflected on her admonition.
“I am sorry.”
“Next time, don’t judge a man by his cover. And a really strong person can’t be marked on the outside. Does Kang Hyuk Teacher look strong to you?”
Ha Goyun shook his head.
“He looks kind, but not strong.”
“I see?”
In fact, she knew the ident.i.ty of Kang Hyuk. She was a member of Jimil Corp., who was deployed to help Ji Myung, and had to know ident.i.ty of Kang Hyuk so she can cope with Ji Myung’s unexpected behavior.
‘The strongest man in the world is Kang Hyuk Teacher.’
But she didn’t say that, and she sighed.
“His name is Hong Ruiger, and he’s also called Beauty Loving Fist Emperors.”
He was about to be eighty. She didn’t recognize him because he disguised himself as young, but she should have noticed the unusual habit he speaks. Otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to do the profanity of drawing a sword on one of the Elders of Hwachun Clan!
‘I’m glad he’s not small minded person.’
Then Chuisung Manor’s door opened and flash of red was shown.
“What?!”
And it was Byuk Aerin who was shouting.
“Why are you here?”
As soon as Hong Ruiger saw her, he ran to her, and opened his arms to hold her.
“As expected! Nothing has changed! My Aerin!”
But Byuk Aerin shouted, avoiding him.
“Go away!”
“Yes, this kind of crankyness is your charm. And so is that red hair.”
“Don’t touch my hair you old pervert! How can you be the same even with age?”
“You can’t give up beauty even if you’re old. But you, Aerin. You are still beautiful.”
His tickling voice gave her goose b.u.mps and Byuk Aerin rubbed her arm and quickly fell off him.
“Pervertness is a illness too. You crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
“Don’t be so mean to him. Ruiger might feel hurt.”
Hong Ruiger tilted his head at the words of the man who followed her.
“Who are you?”
He tilted his head again at the sight of the blue robe.
“Teacher of Hwachun Academy?”
But the face looked familiar.
‘A handsome face. And the way of dressing up is the way I designed…? How does that young Teacher know that?’
He didn’t recognize Kang Hyuk. Moreover, as he reached Age Restoration, his entire energy was completely controlled and hidden, so it was not possible to be sensed. Ji Myung, who recognized Kang Hyuk by smell was one of only exception that made it possible.
“Hnngh, even if I look young, you should show some respect.”
“Why should I?”
“Because I’m older than you.”
“Is that so? I think I’m older though.”
Hong Ruiger felt something strange as Ji Myung and Byuk Aerin were holding back their laughter.
“What, what is it? This feeling… hnngh. Feels like I’m the only one who’s become a fool.”
“You got it right.”
Byuk Aerin said with a giggle.
“Let me introduce you. This is Teacher from Hwachun Academy.”
“I know that….”
“His name is Kang Hyuk, and my Master.”
“…!”
Hong Ruiger was surprised to hear the introduction of Byuk Aerin.
“You have only one master!”
“That’s right.”
“Are you…? Wait- Big Brother?”
Kang Hyuk grinned and raised his hand.
“Long time no see.”
“Big Brother-!”
Hong Ruiger rushed toward Kang Hyuk, but just before he hugged Kang Hyuk quickly avoided him.
“No matter how glad you are, let’s not hug each other. No matter how old I am, that still feel not right.”
“Big Brother!”
Hong Ruiger became tearful this time.
“But what are you doing here? Weren’t you staying at Guangdong region?”
Hong Ruiger smiled awkwardly at the question.
“Yeah, I stay at Guangdong, but… hnngh. Well, beauty is not only in one place, is it?”
“And?”
“I’m wandering from place to place looking for a beautiful woman.”
Then Shim Gu entered Chuisung Manor and spoke.
“Your perverted hobbies is well known. The Beauty of China, is it.”
“Is it a book that chronicles China’s beauty?”
It was Byuk Aerin who answered Kang Hyuk’s question.
“It is a book that sees and evaluates the beauty of China’s beauties in person, and it is said that everyone is dying to be included in the book.”
“Tsk, tsk. Are you trying to commercialize a woman?”
At Kang Hyuk’s disgruntled voice Hong Ruiger shouted quickly.
“Well, that’s not true! It’s a book that I made to let others know about the beauty that is only spread by rumors! And that beauty includes men as well as women!”
“I see. But why are you glancing at Goyun in the kitchen?”
Asked by Kang Hyuk, Hong Ruiger said with a knowing smile around his mouth.
“Yes, in five years that Goyun kid will be the absolute beauty of the Chinese land.”
As for beauty, Hong Ruiger knew better than anyone. If he said it will be, then it was going to be.
“Really?”
At the moment, Ji Myung’s eyes changed.
“By the way, you’re old, but you still like beautiful things.”
He nodded at Kang Hyuk’s words.
“Aren’t all people attracted to beautiful things? Hnngh. Isn’t it why you are keeping your youth by disguising skill.”
“Me?”
Kang Hyuk smiled a smile of victory.
“No, it’s not like that. It’s Age Restoration.”
“Yes?”
“Age Restoration, don’t you know?”
Hong Ruiger jumped up in surprise.
