Chapter 412: Western Regions (4)
Once Sister Seol and Hwa-eun helped calm the previously chaotic atmosphere, I began what had to be done next:
Convincing them.
Convincing them of what?
To clear up a colossal misunderstanding.
Sure, it was a relief that the hostility with Podarlap Palace had subsided, but being mistaken for the Buddha? That had danger written all over it if it wasn’t cleared up soon.
I mean, in my experience—backed by years of live streaming and watching drama series—these kinds of misunderstandings, if left unchecked, always blew up later. Then I’d be blamed: “Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”
And more pressingly, if I didn’t resolve this soon, I might not even get to marry Hwa-eun. What if they dragged me off to Podarlap Palace, shaved my head, and forced me into a life of celibacy?
If they truly believed I was a manifestation of the Buddha, there’s no way they’d just let me go.
They’d absolutely try to take me back with them.
And I was this close to finishing my bachelor’s journey and becoming a real man... but to be turned into a monk right before the finish line?
Absolutely not.
“My wedding night is right there!”
