Absolute Sword Sense

Chapter 350



[Side Story Episode 2 Baek Hye-hyang's Story (3)]

Baek Hye-hyang puts on makeup for the first time in her life and looks feminine.

All of the church members who followed her had a beautiful appearance that they had never seen before, but they were seething inside.

‘Seogalma!'

I regretted saying that I completely followed his words.

I felt uncomfortable hearing that I had to highlight my feminine side, but that ominous feeling became reality.

[The leader has to laugh.]

The sound of the Three Gods, Seogalma, was heard in her ears, which were full of frustration.

Seogalma was located slightly away from the main shrine.

There, he said he would give her appropriate advice through a telephonic message, but this was just verbal advice and was no different from telling her to do as he told her to do, like a puppet.

‘Just try to be wrong.'

I decided to break all my limbs.

Seogalma, who was watching as if reading Baek Hye-hyang's thoughts, began to tremble as if she had a chill.

But soon he focused on her.

[Cult leader. Please do as I said in advance.]

Baek Hye-hyang gritted her teeth at his words.

And after slowly exhaling, he approached Jin Seong-baek, Lord of the Unmatched Castle, and Ha Seong-un, his father-in-law.

“Two minutes. “Are you here?”

To those who didn't know her feelings, it seemed like Baek Hye-hyang was nervous.

‘Hehehe. I had a preconceived notion that she was the head of a blood cult, but she turns out to be a heavenly woman.'

Ha Sung-woon, who thought this, said with a smile on his face.

“You worked hard to come here in advance and prepare like this. “I think this is the first time I’ve ever known the head of the blood cult to be so beautiful.”

It was to relieve tension.

Baek Hye-hyang's face turned slightly red at his words.

In my life, I have never heard anyone compliment my appearance.

Who would make fun of her, who will become the leader of a religious cult in the future?

[Cult leader. I have to express my gratitude.]

Baek Hye-hyang was moved to tears for a moment when Seogalma's voice rang in her ears, but she soon managed her facial expression as best as she could and took control.

“Thank you...no, thank you.”

“Hehehe. So cute. “Isn’t that so, son-in-law?”

“.......It suits you well.”

When Ha Sung-woon gave a light notice, Jin Seong-baek also nodded and said.

Seeing him like this, Baek Hye-hyang thought to herself, “It’s true.”

As rumored, his emotional changes were not great enough to be called the Heartless Wind God.

He does not resemble Unhwi, whose facial expressions reveal a lot.

‘Is the only thing similar is the face?'

Anyone could tell by his face that he was Unhwi's father.

If Unhwi gets older, it seems like he will have that middle-aged look.

‘I like that.'

She believed that men should age with dignity.

Anyway, this moment was extremely embarrassing.

If you decide to give advice in a telephonic manner, shouldn't you quickly send it to me as to what lines to say?

At that moment, the sound of Seogalma was heard.

[Sir, are you going to say nothing? [Your greeting should be somewhat long.]

‘........'

At that moment, a swear word almost came out of my mouth.

If you could have done it so smoothly, why did you use his mouth?

‘He told me to do as he was told!'

Seogalma, who was a little far away but saw her eyebrows trembling, thought it was a mistake and quickly sent a message.

[Please guide us to our seats first.]

Baek Hye-hyang suppressed her anger and spoke at the sound of an electric voice coming next.

“Let’s take you to your seat first.”

‘!?'

Seeing Ha Sung-woon tilting his head, Baek Hye-hyang quickly changed her words.

“Please follow me to your seat.”

Baek Hye-hyang’s face flushed.

I was so annoyed that I imitated the previous sound without even realizing it.

Fortunately, Jin Seong-baek and Ha Sung-woon didn't seem to mind much.

In fact, contrary to her concerns, the two people were taking this situation differently.

[You really seem to treat me like a father-in-law. Draw.]

[Yes?]

[If you don’t do that, how could you look so nervous? Unhwi I wondered how that child ended up in such a relationship with the blood cult leader, but his nature doesn't seem that bad.] [......

It seems so.]

It didn't look particularly bad in Jin Seongbaek's eyes either.

However, I couldn't help but feel wary.

Unlike Ha Sung-woon, who retired, he was active.

I had heard countless amounts of information about Baek Hye-hyang, the Black Blood Witch, and I knew very well that a lot of blood accompanied her every time she moved.

‘Let's watch a little longer.'

We will find out whether it will be a benefit or a loss to Unhwi.

The three approached the shrine.

Empty dishes and glasses were placed on the table in the pavilion that stretched between the lake and the ground.

In front of the pavilion, the servants brought the finished dishes one by one and filled the empty dishes.

Steam was flowing out from the freshly prepared food, making my mouth water.

Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon entered the pavilion and tried to sit down, but Baek Hye-hyang did not come up to the pavilion.

“Why don’t you sit down?”

To those who were puzzled, she took the gun and spoke.

“Before that, I was attending my husband’s father and maternal grandfather, and as the future daughter-in-law, I would like to cook something myself.”

“cooking?”

The two people were secretly surprised when they heard that they would cook the food themselves.

They had no idea that they had prepared to this extent.

Still, Ha Sung-woon couldn't hide his satisfaction when he heard that he would cook the food himself despite being the leader of a blood religion in name.

“Did you know you could cook? “I feel like I am being treated properly.”

Baek Hye-hyang was inwardly delighted at his reaction.

In fact, she was not very enthusiastic about Seogalma's suggestion to try cooking.

I wondered if this was really about highlighting the feminine side.

‘joy. Well, it's not bad.'

It was a fortunate thing.

The problem now was cooking.

She had never cooked anything in her life.

Even when I was sleeping on the street by myself, I didn't have the slightest experience to fill myself with things like dried raisins or Byeokgokdan that I had prepared in advance.

“Whoa.”

Baek Hye-hyang stood in front of the cooking utensils prepared in advance.

There was tofu, various vegetables, and a large piece of pork.

[There is about three hours left until the matchless carriage arrives. Until then, I'll just learn one type of cooking, at least as an attribute.]

[...Didn't you say you've never cooked before?]

[I know. However, cooking is no different from martial arts. Just like learning Ungibeop or Chosik, you can taste it to a certain extent just by being familiar with the cooking process.] [Hmm.]

Because

of this, she learned to cook with an attribute for about two hours.

The dish she was going to make was mapo tofu (麻婆豆腐).

Most decent dishes require skill, but mapo tofu was a relatively simple dish to make as long as you didn't prepare the ingredients from scratch.

-Sigh!

She lifted the esophagus from the cutting board.

Even though it is a sword for making food, I am still a warrior by nature, so just holding the bowl made me feel a little better.

‘Cut the tofu first.'

Most of the ingredients were prepared in advance by the masters.

However, if everyone does that, it won't give the impression that the dish was cooked, so only the tofu can be cut.

-Choo! Chop!

Baek Hye-hyang lightly swung her esophagus toward Tofu.

For an unrivaled swordsman like her, it was no small task to split a three-cornered tofu into hundreds of pieces.

With just a few light swings, the tofu was split into even shapes.

“Oh oh.”

Exclamations flowed from the mouths of the soldiers who saw this.

Even experienced chefs make mistakes when cutting foods that are somewhat mushy and lack elasticity, such as tofu, but her tofu showed no signs of that.

Rather, the cross section was too clean and the pieces were exactly the same size.

“Huh.”

Ha Sung-woon was also surprised when he saw that.

Since she was also a swordsman, I could guess how amazing her swordsmanship skills were just by looking at her swinging her sword.

After cutting the tofu, she added finely chopped pepper and garlic along with oil into the pot.

-Cheek!

A pleasant sound came out of the heated pot.

After adding the spicy oil, I added the minced meat and tofu with sliced green onion along with the doubanjang and simmered it as I had learned.

This is why mapo tofu is relatively simple.

In order to prevent the tofu from being crushed and to preserve its original shape as much as possible, the heat is controlled and simmered rather than stir-fried.

‘joy. ‘It's no big deal.'

As I followed what I knew, it gradually took on the shape of mapo tofu.

The corners of her mouth went up as she smelled the unique spicy scent of mapo tofu.

No matter what I did, one thing was certain: confidence.

She glanced at Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon sitting in the pavilion.

‘Not bad.'

I could see that their gaze was quite gentle.

She thought that Seogalma's words about trusting her completely had made sense to some extent, and now she felt relieved.

‘good. Let's keep believing.'

-Roaring!

She increased her speed to complete the dish.

Without adding more firewood, the fire was made stronger with the energy of the heat and it quickly simmered down, and the servants who watched this had strange expressions.

‘You seem surprised.'

She snorted at their reaction.

In the eyes of the general public, my master's advanced techniques were naturally considered surprising.

Baek Hye-hyang, who was in a much better mood, boiled the mapo tofu completely and put it in a bowl and went up to the shrine.

Then, Seogalma’s voice came into her ears.

[You must speak as humbly as possible.]

‘You don't even know that much.'

She was proud that she had completed the dish so well that she placed the dishes in front of them and said,

“I’m not good at it, but I tried making it for you two.”

“Hehehe. “If this is not enough skill, all the trainees will be unemployed.”

Baek Hye-hyang smiled softly at Ha Sung-woon's praise.

Although he still didn't know what his father, Jin Seong-baek, was thinking, he seemed to like him to some extent.

[Answer as if you are embarrassed.]

‘Act as if you are embarrassed?’

[You covered your mouth with your hand and said that, so you can say that you are embarrassed and don't know what to do.]

‘.......'

It was Seogalma who only secretly gave difficult spells.

It wouldn't have been that difficult for ordinary women, but Baek Hye-hyang found this expression itself awkward.

Although my lips could not part, I forced them to part and spoke.

“Now that you say that, I’m so embarrassed and don’t know what to do.”

It was Baek Hye-hyang, who spoke in a stern voice with her cheeks dropping because of how much she hated it.

If I forced myself to speak, there was no way it would sound natural.

‘Ahhh.'

Seeing this, Seogalma was able to recognize that he had made an unreasonable request.

The water had already spilled.

[Offer food quickly.]

It was better to change the subject.

As if she had been waiting, Baek Hye-hyang pointed to the mapo tofu and said.

“Try it before it gets cold.”

At her request, Jin Seong-baek and Ha Sung-woon brought mapo tofu to the plate in front of them.

At first glance, it was mapo tofu that had a spicy aroma and was delicious to eat.

‘It’s the mapo tofu that the blood cult leader made....’

Ha Sung-woon thought that he must have had days like this in his life.

Nowadays, awareness has improved to some extent, but there are still some people who are afraid of blood religion.

It may be because of the doctrine of washing the world with blood.

I felt very strange when the head of a place with such doctrines dressed up like any other woman and even made food and asked me to eat it.

It was truly a world that I did not know.

“Then I will eat well.”

“I will eat well.”

Ha Sung-woon and Jin Seong-baek simultaneously put the mapo tofu scooped up with spoons into their mouths.

She didn't show it, but she was filled with anticipation and looked at them intently.

I was curious about what kind of reaction I would have to my first dish.

But

‘Huh?'

Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon's expressions were seen shaking as they stuffed mapo tofu into their mouths.

When I put food in my mouth, I had to chew it, but I couldn't do that.

But soon the two people quickly swallowed the mapo tofu that was in their mouths.

Very urgently.

‘what?'

I didn't know what it tasted like to get such a reaction.

So she scooped up some mapo tofu with a spoon and put it in her mouth.

‘!?'

It didn't taste like the mapo tofu she usually imagined.

The taste was not spicy, but burnt and bitter like beef, which made my tongue hurt for a moment.

“Sigh!”

Baek Hye-hyang spit out the mapo tofu that was in her mouth, forgetting that she had made it.

And then, for a moment, I couldn't hide my embarrassment, as if I had missed it.

“Ah...um...there was some mistake...this...isn’t what it is.”

Baek Hye-hyang is so embarrassed that her face turns bright red and she doesn't know what to do.

She thought she was screwed.

I obviously did as I was told, but I couldn't figure out why this happened.

Could it be that the monks were surprised by the sight of the hot energy being released when they were muttering something?

‘Damn Lee Jon.'

What I tried to do by learning through attributes and trying to show off turned out to have the opposite effect.

It was a very embarrassing car.

“Foot.”

At that time, laughter burst out of Jin Seong-baek’s mouth.

Baek Hye-hyang frowned and looked puzzled at that sight.

Jin Seong-baek spoke to her.

“...I think I had some unnecessary prejudice.”

“Preoccupation?”

“They say you can’t judge a person without seeing him in person, but contrary to the rumors in the world, the Lord of the Blood Cult seems to have humanity.”

‘!?'

She was trying to appear feminine.

However, seeing her make unintentional mistakes and be embarrassed, Jin Seong-baek came to think that Baek Hye-hyang was no different from other people.

As a result, it actually had a better impact.

Baek Hye-hyang breathed a sigh of relief at the reaction of Jin Seong-baek, who had a faint smile on his expressionless face.

I almost thought that all my efforts in doing this would be in vain.

“I think I know why that boy likes the leader.”

Hearing Jin Seong-baek's next words, Baek Hye-hyang thought that she should not miss this opportunity.

He spoke, forgetting Seogalma’s advice to take it slow.

“Then will you give me your son?”

Jin Seong-baek frowned slightly at her words.

But this straightforward attitude showed me how much she liked her son.

‘If you like me this much, I'm sure you'll be at least as good to Unhwi.'

It wasn't that important to look good to yourself.

As a couple, you have to take care of each other.

“What else can you do other than give? If two people want each other, as fathers…”

I was listening to him with anticipation.

-Startle!

Before Baek Hye-hyang could finish speaking, she quickly turned her head somewhere.

It was the same for Jin Seongbaek.

“son-in-law?”

It was a moment when Ha Seong-woon, my father-in-law, was wondering.

From where the two people were looking, a figure was almost flying in, with long silver hair fluttering.

Baek Hye-hyang's face distorted horribly when she saw that presence.

‘How is that bitch?'

If I had a sword at my waist at that moment, I would have pulled it out right away and blown away my pride.

The silver-haired woman was none other than Empress Binghan, Seolbaek.

The moment when I could finally gain the upper hand had arrived, but I was irritated by her sudden appearance.

“What about that woman, son-in-law?”

“.......I think it’s the Ice Han Empress Seolbaek.”

Since Jin Seongbaek had seen her during the Inyo War, he also recognized her immediately.

It was questionable how she, the lord of the North Sea Ice Palace and a new member of the Eight Great Masters, had appeared here.

While she was puzzled, Seolbaek, who had flown all the way to the pavilion, shook his head and said to Baek Hye-hyang.

“As expected, I can’t let down my guard.”

“Ice bitch. “What did you come here for?”

Jin Seong-baek guessed that they were enemies due to their hostile tone towards each other.

I don't know why, though.

However, Seolbaek, who had been growling at Baek Hye-hyang, suddenly politely bowed to Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon and said,

“father. “My maternal grandfather. My second daughter-in-law, Seolbaek, sends greetings.”

‘!?'

Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon, who were wondering what was going on, were once again puzzled.

‘Woonhwi, who is this guy.....’
