Chapter 117
Episode 117: My eyes are swollen, don't cry.
Ian was surprised..
She was surprised to see me many times, but this was the first time she was this surprised..
Her eyes, which were covered by flesh, began to tremble..
“Ian, the day is finally here..”
She couldn't say anything. Although he didn't show it on the outside, I could tell without asking how long he had been waiting for this moment..
“When is the procedure done??”
“now.”
“Really now? The moment I've been waiting for comes so suddenly.?”
“Things that will change your destiny tend to come suddenly. So when I look back, it all seems like luck and coincidence..”
“I'm nervous.”
“It's okay. You can drop it. I just need to stop shaking.”
I dropped my hand and pretended to misplace the needle. I was just pranking her to help her relax, but Ian was so nervous and excited that he seemed at a loss as to whether I was pranking him or not..
In my mind, it would be nice to open up a wonderful space using space-time transformation techniques and do it there, but I couldn't do that because of the effort required to maintain the space..
“Lie down on the bed over there..”
Ian did as he was told and lay down on the bed. She took several deep breaths. Until I woke up in the morning, I never dreamed that I would be lying down for a kidney purification treatment like this today..
I started putting acupuncture needles on the designated points. I did my best to touch the needle, one needle at a time. If you look at it from the side, it may seem like even a local doctor could do it, but unlike what you see, the highest level of technology was put into it..
A certain amount of force had to be injected into the acupuncture needles, and sometimes the acupuncture needles had to be released while reciting the phrases. If there is even one mistake, the procedure will fail and she will suffer serious internal injuries..
While I was giving her acupuncture, I injected internal energy into her body to control the running energy and blood..
Heat surged from her body, and sweat poured down like rain. I groaned and groaned from the surging pain..
“It hurts a lot, right? It's normal to be sick.”
She said something. I was saying I could tolerate it, but it didn't sound right. It was such a difficult and painful procedure..
I performed the procedure carefully until the last moment..
After finishing all the prescribed acupuncture, I went outside for a while..
I quietly closed my eyes and sat cross-legged, controlling my inner energy. It was truly a huge drain on mental energy..
Acupuncture is not a one-time thing..
After all the needles were retrieved, the needles were placed again in a different order from the beginning. As the procedure progressed, the drain on her mental strength increased and the pain she experienced also increased..
“Ughhh!”
A scream came from her mouth..
Although she was quite patient and tolerant, it seems that this pain is difficult to bear..
‘Cheer up, Ian..’
It was unfortunate, but I had no choice but to overcome it..
After the second acupuncture session, I filled the container I had purchased with water, pounded the herbs, and mixed them with the water. Amount control and mixing of herbs must be accurate..
Then I basted again..
It was the final hurdle for her too. I don't know if you can hear it, but I spoke softly to Ian..
“This is the last time. Be patient..”
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain. In the meantime, I injected internal energy and caressed her energy and blood, trying to somehow relieve the pain..
‘Hang in there, Ian..’
After three difficult needles, they put her in medication. A long tube was attached to the throat and fixed so that one could breathe..
All I can do is done. I just hope that the procedure ends successfully..

Ian had a dream.
It was a very childhood dream.
“Can you learn full body petrification for Confucius??”
What is Full Body Petrochemical Engineering? I wanted to ask, but I wasn't in the mood to ask. Because he was always a scary master.
“yes.”
“There are side effects if you learn full body petrification. your body will swell.”
She didn't know exactly what it meant to swell.
“The swelling won't go away. forever.”
At the time, I didn't know what it meant that the swelling wouldn't go down. She had no idea how difficult the heavy meaning of that word, forever, would make her life. Because I was only eight years old at the time..
“Are you still going to do it??”
“yes.”
There was an atmosphere where it felt like it wouldn't be okay to say not to do it..
But the decision wasn't just because of the scary atmosphere..
I wanted to be around the sword dance. I liked the sword dance performance from the first time I saw it..
Did you really regret it??
Time passed in my dream.
She was standing in front of the broken dream. In his broken dream, an unfamiliar girl was glaring at him. A girl who had become so fat that she didn't even know if it was me or you was getting angry..
‘Why are you angry? I'm so sad because of you.’
Time passed again.
She was watching a drunken sword dance from behind..
“shit!”
she could tell What does Geommugeuk want to say now?.
What is there that makes me worse than my brother?!
Those are probably the words I couldn't bear to say. The religious leader had more confidence in the Archduke, and rumors were circulating that the successor would be the Archduke..
After Cheonmajeon announced that anyone with the ability could become a successor, there were people who openly ignored sword dance. There were also those who thought that ignoring him would make the Archduke look good. Everyone thought that Geommugeuk would lose the succession battle and die..
Only she knows. How hard did Geommugeuk try to impress his father?.
Boom!
Sword Dance hit the table. A liquor bottle fell from a broken table and broke..
She went and put the bottle away..
Cheer up, master..
From some point on, Geomugeuk didn't even give him a warm look. It was a sword dance where all focus was on whether or not he would become the successor. Still, she liked the sword dance..
The dream took her to another day.
To that fateful day when everything started to change.
Geommugeuk, who returned from the battle between the gods and demons, was standing in front of Tokyo..
The way you look at yourself has changed.
Geommugeuk asked.
―how about me?
It's been a long time since I've seen such warm eyes. You must be feeling good because you won the competition.?
―You are the most handsome in Gangho..
―It's not fun.
―There is always a fixed answer to the question of the person who pays monthly salary..
When was the last time we exchanged jokes like this??
The sword dance in Tokyo was staring at her..
―why do you see it that way?
At that moment she woke up and opened her eyes..
I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
After some time passed, she realized that this was the place where the divine poison purification technique was performed..
‘Is the new poison purification technique over??’
She slowly got up. My body felt different..
Then she looked at her hands.
Seomseom Oksu’s white and long hands.
‘!’
Her heart sank, then began to beat like a bat..
She closed her eyes tightly..
‘I might still be in a dream.’
I hope it's not a dream!
She opened her eyes again with a sad heart. Her hands were no longer the same as before, when they were as big as bears. It was her dream to just become a little smaller, but now it was a very beautiful Seomseom Jade..
She slowly lifted the blanket, suppressing the urge to scream. It was an unfamiliar bridge. The two white, straight legs were so beautiful..
In the end she ended up screaming. She experienced for the first time that if you like someone too much, you scream without even realizing it..
She came down from the bed. The moment I stepped on the floor, my legs grew huge and I was afraid that I might wake up from my dream..
But that didn't happen. It was the moment she took her first step into a new life..
She got off the bed and walked slowly towards Tokyo..
“ah!”
A strange woman stood in longing. It was unfamiliar yet familiar. Because I had a childhood. How long has it been since you saw your real self??
Her face was pretty and her body was perfect..
How can one face be both gorgeous and pure at the same time? The gentle eyes seemed intelligent, and there was a sense of arrogance that could not be easily accessed..
No other expressions were needed. In short, it was overwhelming beauty..
I felt like tears would fall, but surprisingly, no tears came out..
It was because I was still in a daze, wondering if it was a dream or reality..
At that time, I saw underwear and a white gown for her lying next to the bed. The moment I saw it, my heart pounded and I realized that all of this was not a dream..
―Whose is it? She's a very slim woman.?
―I have someone to give a gift to.
―If you're giving me underwear as a gift, it seems like you're very close to me.?
―It's close.
The clothes that Geommugeuk prepared for someone close to him were for himself..
She put on her underwear and a palace suit and stood in front of Tokyo again. It was more beautiful than before.
I was so happy that Geommugeuk bought clothes for this moment. It felt so good to be taken care of for myself. At least for this moment, the feeling of sword dance for myself was better than curing the side effects..
She walked out slowly.
The person I wanted to see so much was standing in the yard with his back turned..
Ian called to him slowly..
“master.”
Then Geommugeuk slowly turned towards her..
Geommugeuk saw her wearing a palace uniform. For a moment, Geomgeuk’s eyes widened..
When I finished the kidney poison purification procedure and laid her on the bed, I already saw a beautiful change in her. But when she opened her eyes and stood in front of her, she was different from then. It was so beautiful that I was speechless..
“The kidney poison purification technique was successful. Congratulations, Ian.”
Tears finally flowed from her eyes..
“My eyes are puffy, don't cry on days like today.”
“You can pour it. I've lived with swelling all my life..”
“Now I have to live differently.”
“No, my life hasn't changed. Before and now, I am the same Ian..”
“Yes, it's the same Ian to me..”
Ian ran and hugged Geommugeuk. She cried for a long time in Geommugeuk’s arms. I didn't say thank you. Because I felt like my gratitude would fade if I said it in words..
“You can ask again?”
“what?”
“Why are you so nice to me??”
“Don't ask. Because it’s a question I’ll have to ask again soon..”
“yes?”
With an unexpected smile, Geommugeuk grabbed her hand..
“Let's go, let's go show off.”
“Who is it??”
“Who is it? Starting with the worst person in the world who made fun of you and called you an ugly heart..”
Ian smiled brightly at Geommugeuk’s words..
* * *
I walked with Ian.
People split left and right, like water splitting. Everyone looked at her in fascination. Not only men but also women stared. I looked at the child, and I also looked at the old man. I saw a monk and a Taoist monk. The dog that was barking also stopped crying and looked at her..
―Everyone is looking at you. how do you feel?
―It's so burdensome.
―enjoy.
―How can I enjoy it when people look at me like that??
―Enjoy that gaze. Ah, I wish you would look at me like that too..
―please take it!
―Once you get used to it, you won't say that.?
It was the same when I arrived at Cheonhwaru. Everyone's eyes were focused on her. Exclamations erupted from everywhere..
Among the courtesans, there were some famous beauties, but they were incomparable from the beginning. Although she had the same beauty, Ian had a noble quality to her. Even though she had no makeup on, her face was glowing..
So we entered the room where Extreme Soma and Cheonhwaruju were..
Extreme evil soma was lying on the lap of Tianhuaruju..
“Luckily you're still there.”
“I waited until it came. What were you so busy about??”
Extreme Soma glanced at me and was surprised when he saw Ian next to him. Extreme Soma stood up..
I thought it would be enough to end Ian's beauty with these words..
A beauty that raises even the evil soma that was lying down.
“Who are you??”
“This is my new heart.”
“What about the old heart??”
“I threw it away.”
“Did you kill that ugly heart??”
I smiled because I knew it was a sincere question..
“Yes, I killed it with my own hands..”
“What if I kill you??”
“Why are you doing this? Do you really want to see my ugly heart??”
“No, I haven't paid off all the money to repair the carriage yet..”
Ian smiled brightly at those words. When she smiled, it felt like the whole place became brighter..
At that time, Tian Hua Luzhu asked the extremely evil demon vaguely:.
“You're prettier than when you were younger, right??”
I urgently looked at the evil soma..
‘be careful! It's a trap, Soma..’
