MB Ch 2 part 2

That’s enough.

Mujang turned his head away.

There was no use for sympathy. The only important thing was the solution to this dark place they were both imprisoned in. He didn’t have the luxury of feeling needless emotions at this time.

Now that he’d come this far, he planned on seeing it to the end. He would be better off listening to the requests of this brat until she gave birth to the child. It would be best to send the child to Mago as soon as it was born. Spending as little time as possible with Bari would be better for both of them.

Marriage? Why was something like that so important?

A human’s life was short. She’d die before she even lived to become a hundred years old. Compared to the hundreds of years he’d already lived, it was merely a season of his life. Once they had the child and obtained the yaksu, it would be the end of their deal.

In the suffocating silence, Bari and Mujang continued to stare at each other. Both of them didn’t know what kind of conclusion they would see at the end of this path they’d chosen. However, right now, it was the only solution they had.

“…Th-Then…”

Her face grew pale. She let out a deep breath and managed to give him her curt answer.

“…Fine by me.”

For a moment, Mujang thought he’d heard wrong.

“You’ll do it?”

“……”

Another moment of hesitation. However, she met his gaze and gave him a firm answer.

“Yes.”

“You’ll have my child?”

“Yes.”

It was a simple reply. Mujang was at a loss for words. He didn’t know what else to say.

“Alright.”

That’s all he said.

The weight of those words fell to the ground. This was only the beginning. The cruelty of this bargain would weigh heavily on this cruel god’s shoulders.

Fine. We’ll just see how far we go from here.

What was so amazing about a mere mortal? This brat said that she’d even go as far as to bear the child of a man she didn’t want in order to get the yaksu. They both had the same objective in mind and were using each other to get it. Nothing more, nothing less.

I won’t feel sorry for this brat. No, I won’t feel anything for her. They were merely joining forces to achieve their own goals. That was all.

Bari’s lips were slightly parted as she stared blankly at him. She wasn’t sure if she was shocked by the fact that she’d accepted his condition or whether she was shocked that he’d accepted hers. Once the strange and awkward decision had been made, Bari looked around at her surroundings with blank eyes. Then she raised her hand and slowly wiped her face. However, her dirt-caked hands merely served to dirty her face even more. On top of that, her hand was even bloody.

“Why does your hand look like that?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Startled by his question, Bari quickly hid her hands behind her back.

“I-It’s nothing.”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

As if. The streak on her cheek was definitely blood. She had been crying when she came back. Now that he took a closer look at her face, Mujang felt displeased. He felt as if this was all his fault. What was this strange feeling? He felt as if she had been crying because of him.

“Wash…”

Just as he was about to tell her to wash up, he realized his surroundings. Thanks to the earthquake he’d caused, his surroundings were a heap of rubble. There was nowhere to wash in this dreary place. There was no way they could hold a wedding or have a child in a place like this. First things first, they needed a house.

Mujang raised his hand. Bari apathetically gazed at his hand. Suddenly, they widened in shock. A new painting was being created from the darkness. Bright white lights were beginning to bloom around her as they floated into the air.

Greenery rose with the lights, and a large tree sprouted from the ground. Radiant flowers began to bloom on the tips of its branches. Promptly, a never-before-seen traditional, tile-roofed house appeared!

Bari’s mouth opened in shock. She shook her head and continued to watch everything unfold in front of her. Small white flowers rose from underneath her feet before growing out in brilliant colors.

“Unbelievable…”

Bari crouched down and touched the grass. It was soft. She brought a single flower up to her nose. Its delicate fragrance wafted into her nose. It was real. This was a real flower.

“How is this possible?”

Instead of answering, Mujang merely gestured towards the house with his head.

“You should find the bathing room when you enter your room. You can wash up a bit…”

Wash up?

Bari tilted her head before looking down at herself. She had been trapped in the dirt and had sobbed at the foot of Mount Dongdae, so she could see why he thought this. She had been drinking water from a copper bowl as sustenance and had bathed sparingly for a long time now, so hearing the term ‘bathing room’ sounded strange to her.

“I can wash up?”

“Well then, were you planning on consummating our first night looking like that?”

After saying those words, Mujang turned around and left. Bari turned bright red when she heard him say ‘first night’ and could only blankly stare at his back as he walked further away.

This is crazy!

Bari covered her flushed cheeks with both hands.

You’ve really gone insane! How could you agree to give birth to a child with that god of death?!

But the water had already been spilled. She had already made her choice!

One thing she was happy with and grateful for was that she had gotten his agreement regarding the things that mattered to her. More specifically, marriage and the fact that nothing would change if they had a daughter.

Hmph, why did it matter whether the child was a son or a daughter when it came to taking an heir? Her parents had abandoned her when they realized that she had been born a girl, and Bari did not want to continue that tradition. The same thing would never happen to her own child.

This was all for the best.

Bari whispered to herself.

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

First of all, if she was able to obtain the yaksu using a method like this, then it was a relief. If she had to marry someone anyway, it didn’t matter if that person was a god. Her child would be protected by the god of death, so wouldn’t it be better than living as a normal human?

“Bari.”

Suddenly, Ran cautiously approached her and grabbed her arm.

“Ran.”

“The house became weird.”

Ran’s wide eyes gestured to the tile-roofed house.

“Yes. It’s pretty, isn’t it?”

Bari responded as she squeezed Ran’s hand.

Yes, now that it had become like this, the most important thing was to conceive a child as soon as possible.

Bari pressed her lips together as she decided to focus on the good aspects of her situation. Either way, she wouldn’t be kicked out of this place, and she’d be able to obtain the yaksu. For now, that was the most important part. The thing she had been dreaming about for the past ten years would be coming true. Once she conceived a child, she’d do her best to raise it. And once she married that terrifying god of death, she’d treat him well as her husband.

And if she suffered, all bets were off.

With that in mind, Bari felt a little better.

And look at this house! It was a hundred times better than that house that had collapsed from an earthquake.

Wait, if he had been able to make such a marvelous house from the start, why had he been living in such poor conditions until now? The house used to be gloomy and desolate. They could barely cook food because they had to find firewood for the kitchen. Thinking about the small, dark rooms, Bari couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.

“He could have done this from the start! Huh?”

But Bari felt her heavy heart lighten. It had been ten years since she’d seen such a clean house and a beautiful garden. What did he do to make it feel like she was basking in the sunlight? How could such lush trees and flowers grow in a place like this?

The flowers and trees sprouting out from the ground seemed unfamiliar in shape, but they were so beautiful and lush that it brought tears to her eyes.

As soon as she pushed through the wooden gate, the house looked even better. The clean wooden pillars, windows installed with various patterns, the glistening wooden floors! All these transformations had taken place in the blink of an eye.

The horrifying earthquake in the morning, followed by the discovery of her identity and finally ending with her terrible marriage to a god. After all that, the house had transformed into this!

Bari raised her hand and pinched her cheek.

“Ow!”

It hurt. It hurt a lot. So this was all real? No, if she was to believe what Mujang had said, was this all an illusion that had fooled her five senses?

She stretched out her hand and ran her fingers along the wall. White lotus flowers had been painted on the wall, and it felt rough and realistic. Traces from the plaster on the wall were left on her fingers. It felt perfectly real. But this was all a lie? This was all an illusion? Did this make any sense?

She entered what was supposed to be her bedroom. Her room had also gone through a cataclysmic change. It used to look like a small, windowless underground tunnel, but now it had turned into a beautiful room for a maiden. The white curtains fluttered with the wind. Small wildflowers had been beautifully embroidered into the bedding that covered the wide bed.

“My goodness…”

So that cruel god had this kind of hobby? But that wasn’t all.

“Uwaa!”

Bari couldn’t help but shout out in awe. Startled, Ran almost ran out the door. What made her cry out was… the bathtub. There was a large tub that was the size of a small pond. It was made of white jade that reminded her of white flower petals. Clear, warm water flowed continuously from one side before it rerouted to the other side. There was a large paper window on one side, so she would be able to enjoy the view of the garden from the tub!

“What is all this?! Amazing!”

It’s so nice! Bari ran to the tub and stretched out her hand towards the water. The warm water wrapped around her fingers like soft silk. She was so happy that all the sadness she received at the hands of that jerk Mujang seemed to disappear in an instant.

“Wow! Really! It’s so nice!”

She wanted to get in right away. She wanted to wash up as soon as possible. However, her reflection in the water gave her quite a fright.

“Aagh!”

No way. Is this really me? This beastly-looking person?

Her tangled hair was swept up into a ponytail. A face covered in dust and grime. This person wearing tattered rags!

“No way!”

Bari covered her face with both hands and shook her head. She couldn’t believe she had proposed marriage to Mujang while looking like this. And she couldn’t believe that Mujang had agreed to marry someone who looked like this. This was all too much!

“Get ahold of yourself.”

“If you’re going to do it, do it properly, Bari. Let’s quickly have a baby. Then you’ll obtain the yaksu and return to your world. Everyone will be freed. You can do this.”

Her face in the rippling water began to flicker.

“Hong-yo.”

Mujang entered the Magenta Forest and called out to the spirit caretaker of the forest.

Because Mujang had shaken the foundations of the underworld earlier, it had unrooted many red trees and caused them to tangle together. His voice rang in the air. However, no response came.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“Hong-yo, hurry up and appear!”

As Mujang frowned, something began to shake the branches of the nearby trees. Red smoke appeared. It jumped out from between the branches and thorns and swept the dark red ground as it approached Mujang.

The smoke gathered together and transformed into a wrinkly old man. He was already short in stature, but his hunched back made him even smaller. He didn’t even seem to reach Mujang’s thigh. However, his eyes were red, and his expression was fierce.

“What bullshit did you pull this time? You uprooted all the trees.”

His voice was so rough and low that it was difficult to understand what he was saying. However, Mujang did not concern himself with this.

“I have something to ask you.”

“You turned my forest into this mess, but you still want to ask me a question. Do you think I’ll give you an answer?”

Hong-yo angrily spit onto the ground. However, Mujang didn’t care and asked him the question anyway.

“How do I impregnate a human woman?”

“Like I said, why would I answer your……What?”

Hong-yo’s annoyed eyes widened, and he looked at Mujang. In the hundreds of years he’d lived here, Mujang had never seen this expression on Hong-yo. But Mujang didn’t care and looked back at him with a blank expression of his own as he asked his question again.

“What do I need to do to make a human woman conceive a child?”

Hong-yo didn’t know what to say. No, his expression seemed to say that he did not even understand the question. He tilted his head and scratched his head with a finger. Then he opened his eyes wide and looked up at Mujang once again.

“How is there a human woman in a place like this?”

“There is. Just answer my question.”

“No, I’m asking you where this human woman is. Did you happen to mistake a boy for…”

“Bari is a woman.”

Mujang felt strange saying it out loud, but he managed to successfully keep a blank expression on his face. Hong-yo’s face, on the other hand, was a sight to see. His mouth opened and closed. He scratched his forehead again. Finally, he let out a ‘ha!’

Mujang laughed. He recalled the first time he’d seen her nine years ago. He remembered how this monkey-looking human kept bothering him day and night. This person had kept badgering him for some yaksu that Mujang had wanted to turn him into mincemeat. But he did not particularly enjoy killing humans, so he’d throw her outside of the Magenta Forest, but this person would crawl back to him and go, ‘hehe’. 

But to think that the rascal was a girl all along…

Her unkempt hair and scrawny body. And because her clothes hadn’t been adjusted to accommodate her growing body, it had grown smaller and more raggedy. And because she had wanted to gain his favor, she had prepared food for him and even readied his bed when he returned home. At some point, he had forgotten she had been by his side this whole time and ignored her. But to think that this person had been a woman all along…

Mujang shook his head.

Now wasn’t the time to be thinking such things. The important thing was to find the fastest and most effective way to get Bari with child.

“…So. You’re saying you want Bari to have your child?”

As if he still did not have any intention of answering his question, Hong-yo only asked more questions.

“Yes. So tell me the way to do it.”

“I mean, there’s only one way for a man and a woman to have a child. They just have to sleep together.”

Smack! Mujang’s hand covered Hong-yo’s mouth. Hong-yo’s eyes were wide as he managed to stop his squawking from behind Mujang’s hand. He pointed to Mujang’s hand as his expression begged Mujang to take his hand away, promising he’d stay quiet. Only then did Mujang let go of Hong-yo.

“Puwah! You’re not saying you’re a… v-virgin, right?”

Mujang crossed his arms and glared down at Hong-yo.

“Damn it, you’re 3,500 years old. What has a young guy like you been doing all this time?”

During his confinement on Mount Dongdae, Mujang had never seen such an excited and joyful expression on Hong-yo’s face. Mujang barely managed to spit out his answer.

“As you know, I was one of the twenty-eight divine generals. I was focused on protecting the heavenly world, and having relations with a woman was taboo. And as for the last 2,800 years, there wasn’t a woman around.”

“But still! You should still know the basics!”

“It was taboo!”

Mujang roared as he threw Hong-yo a fierce glare. Hong-yo wasn’t sure if he should laugh or cry. In the end, he barely managed to hold back his laughter and made another remark to Mujang.

“I never expected you to be a 3,500-year-old virgin.”

“Just answer my question, Hong-yo.”

Mujang tiredly swept back his black hair. Hong-yo snickered as he walked back and forth, murmuring, ‘What to do, what to do’. Mujang grit his teeth and glared at him. Mujang knew how to embrace a woman, more or less. He assumed things would happen naturally while they slept together, but he didn’t care to find pleasure when having relations with a woman. Right now, the important thing was pregnancy. Because he did not know exactly how to go about it, he did not want to find himself in a position where he had guessed incorrectly.

Hong-yo had taken a book from somewhere and placed it inside Mujang’s crossed arms.
