Chapter 250: Heaven and Earth Twin Generals (3)
Grandfather and Sister Seol said they would talk a bit more about my condition, and in the end, I was handed the result—my Five Poisons Appointment had been put on hold—as I walked out of the training grounds.
There was a slight twinge of disappointment at not being able to join the Five Poisons right away, but my head was so full of thoughts about Yeondu’s future husband that I didn’t feel particularly upset.
‘Yeah, it’s not like I ever loved learning martial arts anyway.’
Martial arts weren’t very high on my life priorities, and even though it was pushed back a little, it was all a problem that would be solved once Cheongyu reached full maturity.
Once Cheongyu matured, I’d secure Yeondu’s future husband, and—though it wasn’t guaranteed—I’d likely be able to join the Five Poisons too.
‘Venomous creatures come first, martial arts are more like a side benefit. Kinda like when you’re streaming on YouTube and a sponsor reaches out.’
It wouldn’t be easy to find the Bi-cheon Shin-sa, but since I had two snakes related to him, my chances were higher than sending someone in blind.
Judging from how Yeondu insisted on following me in the rain, it seemed like Nanghu and Ranghu must have some kind of instinct that reacts when the Golden-Crowned Snake King gets close.
The distance between the Tang Clan and the place where Cheongyu had its first molt was twenty li—roughly eight kilometers.
Once we were inside that radius, whether from that side or ours, they’d be able to sense each other.
‘Even just that much is a win.’
I glanced back—there was Cheongyu, slithering along behind me, her body curving into soft S-shapes as she glided forward.
