Chapter 335: What’s your relationship? (4)
[My word, Baby snake-nim…!!]
The earth!
The Zodiac Saints and the Constructs had gathered within Lee Gun’s house, holding a council of war, the reason for it being obvious.
[What kind of crazy Zodiac enters the Divine world in that fashion?]
[He didn’t go through the Zodiac registration. Him going to the entry center should have made us feel uneasy…!]
[Baby snake-nim will receive penalties if he does that…!]
[Why did he have to go through district A?]
The Virgo Constructs were nervous wrecks, and it seemed the Leo Constructs felt the same. They were having a mental breakdown.
[The penalties of the Divine world are dangerous.]
[Moreover, district A is under the Olympus faction.]
[That place is full of dangerous five-star rank gods…]
However, the Virgo Constructs screamed for an entirely different reason.
[Kyaahhhk! District A has the entertainment dimension!!]
[If he receives the penalty, he’ll get eaten alive by the goddesses!!]
[Baby snake-nim’s chastity is in danger!!]
When the Virgo Constructs despaired, the Leo Constructs became angry
[Hey, Virgo temple!!! Why the hell are you worried about something like that!!!]
[Kyahhhk!!]
However, the Leo Constructs soon groaned. Unlike the other gods, they had watched and experienced Lee Gun’s fierce temperament.
Lee Gun had carried out the terroristic attack on the entry centers, yet they would consider it lucky if that was all he did.
‘Please don’t mess with the Great Spirits!’
If it were up to them, these Constructs wanted to go to the Divine world right now. However, it would probably take them some time to enter the Divine world.
‘The Zodiacs are all there. Only the Constructs crossed dimensions to reach the earth.’
This was why they could merely put their trust in their Zodiacs, who were present in the Divine world!
However, Leo was sleeping. Their Zodiac not answering them back made them uneasy. In the end, they couldn’t do anything about that.
After the incident at the entry evaluation center, they had lost track of Lee Gun. However, the Zodiac Saints didn’t seem too worried about it.
“If something happens to Lee Gun, the Zodiac Saints will immediately be notified.”
“That’s right. We— No, I will notify you, so you guys don’t have to worry about that.”
At that moment…
“Excuse me… Young master?”
“!”
Lee Jaewon visited Lee Gun’s house with a bright smile on his face. Although he had a kind look on his face, something was oddly terrifying about his expression.
“Young master, where is Miss Yooha?”
“!!”
In a rarity, Chun Sungjae flinched.
Stevens, Kevin, and Goat furrowed their brows when they heard Lee Jaewon’s words.
“Uh? I haven’t seen her for the past couple of days.”
“Since we’re here to watch Lee Gun, there is no way she would miss such a meeting.”
Chun Sungjae flinched harder.
With a bright smile on his face, Lee Jaewon looked at Chun Sungjae. “I’m pretty sure Young Master and Young Miss were told to stay with Madam, right? When I asked Madam, she said Young Miss never came there…”
Chun Sungjae avoided his gaze. “N-Noona went to her part-time job. She went to Siberia to pick up some coffee beans.”
Lee Jaewon firmly grabbed Sungjae’s shoulders. “Young master? Coffee can’t be grown in cold places.”
“She is in South America…”
“Young master???”
When Chun Sungjae saw Lee Jaewon’s angry smile, he finally cried out loud. “Waaa! Noona followed Uncle to the Divine world!!!”
The words surprised everyone.
“Wait a moment. What? She went to the Divine world as a human?”
[Does she realize what kind of place that is?]
“Did Lee Gun knowingly take her there?”
“N-No. She went in secret. Uncle doesn’t know…”
This shocked them even more.
“How did she go there without Lee Gun noticing her?”
“Well, it is a secret….”
“Young Master?”
Chung Sungjae kept sweating when he saw Lee Jaewon’s smile. “That is…”
Chun Sungjae thought about what had happened not too long ago.
Right before he had left for the Divine world, Lee Gun had advised them to stop following him. “I’ll bring your dad. It’ll be dangerous, so you guys should stay here. You shouldn’t follow me at all costs. Don’t do it.”
However, Yooha couldn’t accept that, and the one to help out his noona was Chun Sungjae. His bright idea was to use Pixiu.
‘Since he’ll take his Constructs, I thought she could enter Pixiu’s mouth. I thought there was a possibility that Uncle wouldn’t notice her that way.’
Of course, they had lured Piggy Bank (Pixiu) in secret with food, and Sungjae had a hard time forcing his Noona into Pixiu.
The mouths of the Zodiac Saint and the Constructs fell open when they heard the story. They used a Construct in such a manner…!
Suddenly, the Virgo Constructs acted as if they had some kind of epiphany.
[Ah! Is that why Baby snake-nim entered illegally?]
[That’s right! The entry center would have checked his belongings, including his Constructs!]
[Oh! As expected of the Serpent Bearer, he realized midway that she was there. He illegally entered the Divine world because he didn’t want her to get caught!]
On the other hand, Lee Jaewon blanched.
‘There is no way things turned out like that.’
“Now that I think about it, it isn’t just Hugo’s daughter. I wasn’t able to contact the Scorpio Saint…”
Goat laughed at Kevin’s words. “No way! She’s probably in Canada. We’ve been having trouble with strange disciples popping up saying they aren’t part of the thirteenth Zodiac. She’s probably taking care of them.”
“There is no way she would do the same thing as Yooha.”
No, she was someone dangerous too. Lee Jaewon massaged his face. It seemed he would have to inform Sagittarius about this. Lee Jaewon sighed. The austere Sagittarius would be able to keep the two of them in check.
“I should have somewhat expected this, but I never thought she would follow him. Hailey-nim also likes Lee Gun-nim. I heard Miss Yooha asked Lee Gun-nim to marry her at their first meeting…”
“I guess it’s genetic. She gets it from her father.”
“What? Dad?! What are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about Miss Yooha’s fandom…”
“I’m talking about the other thing!”
Chun Sungjae recalled the words his sister had spoken after meeting Lee Gun for the first time.
“Don’t worry! I don’t plan on unnecessarily putting Uncle in an awkward position.”
However, she said she was free to follow him since she was a fangirl. It was why her fandom of Lee Gun had burned brightly.
On the other hand, someone trembled in the kitchen. She had been preparing refreshments when she heard their conversation.
Lee Gun was going to get eaten alive by the goddesses of the Divine world… Hailey was nowhere to be seen… Yooha had chased after Lee Gun… Hailey liked Lee Gun… Yooha had proposed as soon as she saw him…
An anxious look appeared in Yeonwoo’s eyes as she disappeared to another place.
* * *
Kwahng!
The Constructs chasing after Lee Gun were defeated by Yooha.
Yooha let out a sigh. Pixiu had been summoned for the first time at Hades’s star palace. She had exited its mouth there.
Amongst the skills that the Divine status of Death provided her with were Teleportation (Warp) and Stealth. This was why it wasn’t difficult for her to move under the radar from Lee Gun.
After exiting Pixiu, she had kidnapped(?) Persephone and used her stealth skill to secretly follow Lee Gun. She also took care of the Constructs that tried to go after Lee Gun.
“Whew! That’s the end of them.” Yooha took a deep breath after defeating the enemies.
Unlike the monsters, gods were quite difficult to hunt down.
A pigeon-headed civil servant coughed as it lay on the ground. Gnashing its teeth, it extended its hand.
“You human bitch…! Which route did you take to enter this place? What grudge do you have against us to attack—”
“Ah! One was left.” Chun Yooha picked up her spear, which looked like a harpoon.
“Yooha!!”
Chun Yooha flinched at the familiar voice. She got ready to run away.
“You stay there, Yooha! If you run away, I won’t sign your figurine!”
Sagittarius was dumbfounded by the words Lee Gun shouted. He turned to look at his nephew. “Nephew. Do you realize how old she is—”
Before he could finish, Chun Yooha, who had been about to run away, obediently sat on the ground. She waited for Lee Gun. Her eyes twinkled as she extended her hands. She wanted him to hurry up and give her the figurine.
Sagittarius’s mouth fell open at the sight.
Lee Gun glared at her. “Why are you here, Yooha? I told you to not come since it is dangerous here.”
“But Dad is here…. I couldn’t stand back and do nothing…”
Lee Gun was about to express his anger, but he merely sighed when he saw Yooha’s sullen face. “Alright. Don’t wander off. Stay close to Uncle.”
The next moment, the figure of Chun Yooha, who looked like she was about to cry, was nowhere to be seen. She stuck to Lee Gun’s leg like a cicada.
Lee Gun got angry. “Hey. Not like that.”
Chun Yooha pouted.
The dumbfounded Sagittarius ignored her antics as he asked, “Oh, daughter of my Zodiac Saint, what did you just do?”
“!”
“Most of them are low rank, but I don’t get how a human was able to defeat gods.”
Yooha tilted her head in puzzlement, as if to say he was speaking nonsense. “When I swung this, they started running away and falling.”
“What? What nonsense are you— Ahhhhk!!!”
Sagittarius convulsed when Yooha lifted her spear toward him. He hid behind Lee Gun. “What the hell are you holding?”
“It’s a weapon made by Uncle….”
“Ahhhk! Don’t ever bring that thing close to me! Never!”
“…???”
“Serpent Bearer! What did you make that from?”
“What else? It is the corpse of the monarch I killed before. That one is… Ah, was it called Abyss?”
“Ahhhk!! That’s why the gods ran away in fright. You’re holding such an item!!”
The unknown civilization was a race that the gods hated the most. This was especially true of the monarchs, the leaders of the unknown civilization.
‘Even the Great Spirits avoid engaging the monarchs’
It was a predator-prey relationship. The unknown civilization was the worst race to the gods, who ruled over dimensions.
An item infused with their power could weaken a god. It could even make the gods faint. Moreover, this was Abyss, whom Lee Gun had killed before.
Of course, Lee Gun had killed only a part of Abyss, but Abyss had invaded the Divine world before. It had entered through the dimensional cracks to eat gods viciously.
That shocking incident had yet to fade from the gods’ memories, yet Lee Gun had made such a weapon!
Lee Gun didn’t care for Sagittarius’s reaction. He seemed amused. “It seems gods hate monsters more than I thought.”
“Of course, they hate monsters. Moreover, the items of the unknown civilization are illegal. Their hatred for the monsters is unimaginable. The Great Spirits especially hate the monarch rank—”
Sagittarius blanched as he looked at Lee Gun. “You can’t do it, nephew.”
“What?”
“You’re laughing. You plan on making items from all the monster corpses you have gathered. You plan on distributing them. You must never do that. Never. It must not be done. That should be off-limits!!”
“Oh! I didn’t think that far. Thank you for the idea.”
“Ahhhk!!!”
“Anyway, we should go find Taeksoo since you’re here too.”
However, it seemed Hugo had left Hades’s possession, and his location was unknown.
‘I guess I have to go find Hades first.’
“Oh yeah. Take this, Uncle.”
“!”
Yooha handed Lee Gun something. “I picked it up when I took down a couple of enemies within Hades’s star palace…”
It was a letter that Yooha had taken from a defeated civil servant.
Sagittarius flinched when he saw the shape of the letter. “Give it to me.”
“!”
The reason for his reaction was the power enveloping the letter. It was the power of a high-rank Zodiac, who was in charge of Olympus’s Messenger service.
If the seal of a high-rank Zodiac was placed on it, it couldn’t be sent to just anyone.
Sagittarius forcefully broke open the letter. It had a high-rank seal, but Sagittarius was also a high-rank Zodiac of the Divine world.
Kwah-jeek!
A fierce flame burned the envelope as Sagittarius read the content of the letter. He furrowed his brows. “It is addressed to Hades, but…”
The problem was the one supposed to have received the letter. It was a Great Spirit.
Lee Gun smirked when he saw the content. “You did well, Yooha.”
“!”
「Oh Great Spirit. Thank you for your purchase. I will inform you of the location where the Construct “Pushover” will be transferred to you.」
His reaction was to be expected since the letter told the location of Hugo. Lee Gun’s eyes flashed savagely.
