Chapter 462
Chapter Title: Dark Heaven Village
Dark Heaven Village's moon?
What I'd gotten from Pengio was a riddle of a clue. Never mind the bizarre land called Dark Heaven Village having a heavenly stele—even that world had another moon? A flurry of questions swirled in my head, but Pengio was already gone. Soon, the binding spell on Gangsin lifted, and Cheon Woo-jin returned to normal. He pressed his temples hard with his index finger, as if his head throbbed, and said,
"Is your business done? Get out."
"Wait just a moment."
With a sigh, I handed him the White Ox Thread. Cheon Woo-jin took it with a blank look on his face. I bowed my head to him and said,
"I've been asking too much of you lately. It's not much in return, but I hope this smooths things over."
The apology was sincere. I'd never shared the black obsidian with him, yet I'd imposed on him far beyond what a comrade deserved, time and again. Instinct told me that souring things with Cheon Woo-jin further could bring pointless backlash or even harm, and guilt over my past requests pushed the words out. Cheon Woo-jin replied with a baffled expression.
"What? You're giving me a precious token like the White Ox Thread just for an apology? Are you an idiot?"
