Ryeong rushed 48a8b94957 in and b14398b8da took the 90959bad32 attack instead. Not only that, but 173f2ffeff he also lunged at f9f1bed207 the Taizigui, grabbing the 591d1a4438 child tightly. Even as he 55e0939afc rolled on the 4363216654 ground and his f380e3cca6 body was slashed f23b2ad75d by the fierce 4b90657880 ghostly energy, he 45a78e308f never let go 1fe48b8899 of the child.

[It’s the same now…]

The child had broken free from Cheon Gun’s spell and become a complete vengeful spirit. And Cheon Ryubeom couldn’t comfort this child. Not because he was exhausted, but because he was fundamentally a member of the tiger clan. No matter how much he apologized, could he truly convey his intentions to an infant? Moreover, this wasn’t just any child; it was a child who had suffered through Yanmye.428804435b71ceb7

And most importantly, when Ryeong first met the child in the bamboo forest, he read the child’s ‘grudge’ in their briefly met eyes. It was something Cheon Ryubeom could never fulfill.ace3b8e3df651f15

Yeohwi’s face turned pale as he read the spell drawn by Ryeong’s blood on the ground. He tried to forcefully separate Ryeong from the child, but Ryeong’s energy pushed him back. A solid wall was erected, preventing him from getting closer.050f759a45ee9152

Originally, Ryeong couldn’t draw spells due to a lack of spiritual power, but after becoming a nine-tailed fox, he gained power derived from evil, making it possible. He had also learned various spells by observing Yeohwi’s research.89372baf086f3f06

Ryeong’s spell had two parts. One was a spell to absorb resentment, commonly used by vengeful spirits to devour surrounding ghosts and become stronger. Ryeong was trying to absorb all of the child’s resentment.44e66a3d3f7f2856

The other part was 28d873b6ba a killing formation. As soon as he 08a0958470 became a stronger vengeful 0ddacf0bb9 spirit by absorbing all 17e7c3eaa3 the resentment, he would 562fbb2991 immediately take his own f936d284b9 life—a linked spell.774a8303f4037724

Yeohwi, seeing the spell being inscribed on Ryeong’s body, urgently raised his hand. He quickly drew a counter-spell in the air to break all the spells. But Ryeong’s will blocked it. Having observed Yeohwi closely for a long time, Ryeong knew how he used his energy.a07d5ddac8f19672

Yeohwi shouted, asking what he was doing, but Ryeong didn’t stop interfering. By now, the malice flowing from the child was continuously entering Ryeong. It was resentment that felt like it was stabbing his body.56eb0d77df1cd7da

[One vengeful spirit is enough…]

“No, what are you talking about!”cf9047ced3e6f4d7

[It’s fortunate that I’m good at eating…]

Ryeong’s light-hearted voice, as if joking, made Yeohwi’s face harden. The determination to swallow all the malice and disappear was evident in that playful voice. Yeohwi shook his head, saying it was impossible, and drew the counter-spell again.f6381c75eb69ebe2

[Yeohwi, cough, remember when…]

“Don’t start talking like that.”9a5929d8c8e6d935

[When Imugi revealed your grudge…]

Yeohwi cut him off e89621acc0 coldly, then looked at b02469b2cc Ryeong with a puzzled ccaf8b430d expression. The unexpected cf8270d0c3 topic left 9397613286 him bewildered, d7e9fdcfc7 and Ryeong f361b8c25c smiled wryly.0f98536f4be17e53

That day, Ryeong had quickly climbed the mountain at Yeohwi’s call. He had rushed to save him from Imugi’s curse, but when he saw Yeohwi’s grudge inside the black sphere, Ryeong was taken aback.cf78424683e0725e

Ryeong had 92e32677aa thought Yeohwi 4a882edae0 harbored a 0a62ed0d9a grudge to 87f0d4901e annihilate the 7cad8d3da6 tiger clan. He interpreted e6d922b367 the scene fa39085b60 inside the bafec0a883 curse with adca13a7c7 Cheon Ryubeom 1f2fc887d6 as a 613a07cfdc signal to 1a5dc457b4 extract them bf55694583 before their 9f8c491bab plan was dfed58d179 exposed.

He was angry at himself for being mad at Yeomyeong, he hated himself for leaving the main house that day, and so… he wished he had died instead.

Ryeong finally said what he wanted to say, looking quite relieved. This was what Ryeong had been holding back while watching Yeohwi. Yeohwi seemed to misunderstand it as something else, but Ryeong didn’t bother to correct him.70317e6a2fba3b89

Since that day, Ryeong saw Yeohwi differently. He read his actions anew and soon could intuitively understand. Perhaps it was a very strong premonition he had felt from the moment Yeohwi regained consciousness, held by Cheon Ryubeom, inside Imugi’s curse.f52ae7d7f47dfc41

By now, all of the child’s resentment was being absorbed by Ryeong. His red eyes flickered and dimmed. The pain and anger the child felt were being fully conveyed. At some point, Ryeong felt as if he were trapped in a dark, narrow place.09b7044c8bc99359

Yeomyeong’s voice, whispering as she petted him one day, echoed in his ears like a hallucination. Ryeong, with his white fur, had been ostracized by the other foxes as strange and ominous, but Yeomyeong didn’t find it strange at all. She even said it was very pretty, her eyes shining.918b8985c6f73a2c

Thanks to her, Ryeong 08d2443fc7 gained confidence. He approached 10a8421fec the other f4c004c9ba foxes more e8a7eb4b58 boldly and e0f54a6dd2 quickly became 3da786fe27 friends with fc24e9024c them. Perhaps the fact 9e3c69e553 that he was e029b36fff the fox Yeomyeong 3c0031555e cherished the most f89e3b8be0 had an influence. Whatever the reason, Ryeong 666b9f1db6 deeply loved Yeomyeong, who 66f89e6ff0 had changed his life.f752e532900d5a31

So when she held 89069d71c1 out her pinky finger, 302f5006cb asking him to promise, 972619fd3b Ryeong willingly touched it 2c37589587 with his nose. Her gentle laughter still d32d1b6329 lingered deeply in his 569e9fe876 heart.282dab7e1a3f7fb9

That’s why he remembered anxiously hovering around the sick child, the moments he immediately sought Yeomyeong when the child vomited, and the times he helplessly cried beside the crying child. He wished he had been stronger then. But he kept whining because Yeomyeong would come and hug them both, comforting them, and then thank Ryeong at the end, petting him. He liked that, so he kept acting spoiled.49d0c4327b0363bc

A moment ago, in the bamboo forest, Ryeong felt the child’s wish. Beneath the anger towards the tigers who killed and exploited him, there was a faint but persistent wish the child held onto.492af76666d7eb10

The child wanted 7f1a1c809c to go home. To the place where b02c2f8de7 his parents loved him, 801be9bc36 where the white fox f07cb17aa4 was always nearby to 0df71e5c77 play with him. To the time when 34804255c5 all the clan members c35ee7222e cherished him.fa5ec98dc849ab09

Comforting is about consoling the souls of the deceased. Ultimately, this comforting aimed for ‘Cheondo,’ the aspiration for the soul to reach the Pure Land or Heaven.
