The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

Chapter 155 : The Truth (3)

As soon as Yoo Soo-ah opened her eyes, she examined her body.

Her body was in the best condition it had been in recently. If she had woken up in an inn or somewhere else instead of here when she came to her senses, she would have been under the illusion that everything she had experienced so far was a dream.

It felt like she had undergone a complete transformation.

That's how good her current body condition was.

It seemed she could even perform what she had imagined in her head now. But Yoo Soo-ah quickly composed her excited heart.

Because she could see that this was by no means a dream.

She had lost to that man in a fight again.

She didn't know why that man had spared her twice, but what she had to do was still the same as before.

She would become stronger by any means necessary so as not to repeat the past again.

She felt that man's presence from inside.

Yoo Soo-ah walked towards the inside.

A huge cavern appeared.

At the end of it, there was a magnificent chair that was reminiscent of a throne, and right in front of it, a man of unknown identity was lying dead.

On one side, something was wriggling.

Its identity was Soma, covered in blood. It seemed he had had a big fight, but no traces of the fight could be found in this cavern. She didn't know how he had gotten like that, and although it was surprising that he was still alive in that state, she had no particular interest in an opponent she had already beaten once.

Yoo Soo-ah passed by Soma, who was wriggling on the floor.

And she walked forward and then stopped.

The man lying straight on his back, unconscious, was a man she was interested in, unlike Soma.

Because he was a man who had beaten her twice.

She suddenly wondered why this man hadn't killed her.

Well, it wasn't a question she had thought of to find an answer. It was just a question she had because it was strange in a common-sense way.

Screech.

Yoo Soo-ah drew her sword.

And she struck down with her sword.

Boom!

The sword went in so deep that the hilt of the sword touched the ground.

"Huh?"

Yoo Soo-ah looked at her sword, to be precise, the sword that was stuck right next to the man's face, and tilted her head.

She had definitely struck down with her sword at the man's face.

"It seems my body condition is not yet perfect."

Yoo Soo-ah pulled her sword from the ground. This time, in order not to make the same mistake as before, she diligently raised her internal energy.

A haze of powerful qi was shimmering from the sword.

Yoo Soo-ah, to surely kill the man, aimed her sword at the man's Adam's apple and struck down.

Boom!

This time, because she had been watching closely from the beginning, she could see it accurately.

The sword that was heading towards the man's Adam's apple, was forcibly bent to the side by an unknown force in front of the Adam's apple and was embedded in the ground.

Yoo Soo-ah threw away her sword and raised her internal energy in her bare hands.

"I'll just kill him directly."

This time, in order not to make a mistake, she aimed accurately at his face. And she extended her fist.

Boom!

Her fist also hit the innocent ground.

After that, she used all sorts of methods to kill the man.

But all the methods ended in failure.

"Don't tell me?"

Yoo Soo-ah thought it couldn't be.

There was only one person in this world that she couldn't kill.

The man she had sworn to her soul.

That man must have been dead.

"R...eally?"

If it's really true, then this man's soul must have a piece of her soul.

A strange excitement dominated her body.

Yoo Soo-ah bit her lip. Blood came out with a bitter taste.

If it's really true...

Yoo Soo-ah transferred one of the pieces of her soul to her blood.

Yoo Soo-ah then placed her blood-stained lips on the man's lips.

And she used her tongue so that her blood could pass down the man's throat.

Gulp.

The blood passed down the man's esophagus.

If it's really true, a resonance phenomenon of the piece of soul dissolved in the blood would occur.

Roar.

The resonance of the souls resonating with each other.

Yoo Soo-ah took her lips off and looked down at the man.

"It was real."

-Junior sister.

-You've grown a lot.

-Hehe. I might lose the young leader position to my junior sister at this rate. Ah! Of course, I'll just concede it without a competition.

-Junior sister, you won't grow tall if you only train. Let's go. This senior brother will treat you handsomely today!

-What? You always say you'll buy me something and then only feed me gukbap? So you don't like it?

Her senior brother was alive.

The moment she realized that, a group of people rushed into the cavern.

Those people surrounded her and her senior brother and aimed their spears at them all at once.

Yoo Soo-ah pulled her senior brother into her arms.

With a momentum that she would never, ever let go of her senior brother again.

Yoo Soo-ah opened her mouth.

"Who are you?"

* * *

The emperor had not been seen for a long time. Some worried that the emperor might be dead, but the crown prince took care of all state affairs in place of the emperor, and that controversy was dismissed.

But now, the rumor of the emperor's death was rising to the surface again.

The first basis was that the 1 million troops that had been guarding Beijing had all withdrawn at once.

The second was that the 1 million troops that had been guarding the northern region had all entered a state of combat readiness at once.

The empty imperial palace was now filled with high-ranking officials who were having a heated discussion. But they threw out various guesses, but they couldn't find an answer and were just circling around the outside.

Because the emperor who would give the answer was not here.

The place where the emperor was now was the northern region.

"Is this the place?"

"Yes, it is."

The grand general who was guarding the northern region bowed his head to the crown prince. And he was surprised.

The crown prince known to the public was evaluated as a sickly, gentle, and by no means a person befitting an emperor.

But the crown prince he saw in front of him now was a person closer to an emperor than any emperor he had ever seen.

The crown prince opened his mouth to the army that was blocking his front.

"Clear the way."

"The search is not yet complete. It is dangerous for you to go yourself."

The crown prince looked at the grand general who was stopping him. No emotion was felt in his pupils.

"Grand General, how old are you?"

At the question asked out of the blue, the grand general answered immediately.

"I am fifty this year."

"It's already been that long. Yes, it's been well over 30 years since the Grand General first entered the army. You have served the country for that long. Is that why?"

"W-What do you mean?"

"Have you gone deaf with age?"

He had heard. But there was danger there...

"If you can't even hear what's being said right next to you, I was thinking you should probably retire soon. If not, are you committing treason now?"

The grand general immediately buried his head in the ground and shouted loudly.

"Please forgive this humble subject's disloyalty!"

Normally, the grand general has the supreme command of the army. But in a state of war, the supreme command of the army was naturally transferred to the number one in the country's hierarchy.

Now was a situation like a war without an emperor.

And now that there was no emperor, the crown prince was clearly the number one in the Ming imperial family's hierarchy.

The crown prince looked down coldly at the grand general, who was much older than him, bowing his head to the ground, and continued.

"I won't say it twice. Clear the way."

The grand general's reply was not needed. When the crown prince turned his head, the million troops split left and right as if the sea had split in half in the old days, and a path was created.

At the end of it, there was a huge palace, and a dark entrance was welcoming him.

The crown prince naturally walked inside along the path created by his subordinates.

And at the sight that was revealed, he closed his two eyes with a heavy heart.

A single corpse, frozen with a pale face at the very end.

It had the face of a person that he could never forget.

Screech.

The crown prince drew his sword.

And he said.

"From now on, capture every single one of the traitors who have guarded the emperor. If they resist, you may kill them."

The million troops answered all at once.

"Yes, sir!"

* * *

Clang, clang! Thwack, thwack!

The sound of fighting is heard from all directions.

"This is fun!"

A man's excited voice.

"Someone is coming to kill me! It's like a dream!"

He was definitely a madman. I wanted to avoid getting involved as much as possible.

"Please be quiet! It's distracting!"

A woman's voice was also heard.

"Why? Don't you like it?"

"..."

Seeing that she didn't answer the madman's question, it seemed the woman was a normal person.

"Anything is fine now."

A shyly heard answer.

As expected, there's no way there are normal people around me.

By the way, why is this sound suddenly being heard?

It was definitely empty in this cavern until just before I fainted.

While I was contemplating whether to continue to close my eyes and escape reality, a sharp killing intent poked my stomach.

"If I kill him, my life will be reversed!"

I turned to the side and finally opened my eyes and had to get up from my seat.

Because I refused to be a skewer like a fish. And the world I saw was much more of a mess than I had thought.

"Jae-ha!"

"Senior brother!"

Soma and my junior sister, who were running towards me.

Soma being fine was a secondary matter, I held my junior sister. I said to my junior sister, who was blushing slightly.

"Do you recognize me now?"

"O-Of course. Because senior brother is senior brother."

"So that's it! Hehe. This damn life that has been so twisted is finally over!"

The end of suffering!

The beginning of honey!

Just then.

"Traitors, kneel down immediately!"

Golden armors that suddenly thrust their spears at me.

To think that there are fools who imitate the Golden Guard in the world.

If they get caught by the imperial family, even if not the nine clans, the three clans will be exterminated. Tsk, tsk.

"By the way, you weren't talking to me just now, were you?"

"Kneel down immediately! Otherwise, we will kill you."

"Excuse me? I'm not a traitor."

"You! You heaven-defying traitors! How dare you try to cover the sky with your palm!"

This bastard, he can't be reasoned with. Don't tell me he's acting up because he trusts his numbers?

When I looked around, the numbers were quite large. It was worth acting up.

While I was thinking this.

Thwack!

Soma flew and hit the guy's face.

"Shut up. Jae-ha! I did well, right?"

Should I praise him for doing well, or scold him for doing poorly?

Just then, the people in golden armor who were surrounding us split left and right, and a single man walked over.

Huh?

I knew this person.

And the fact that this person was here meant that the guy just now was a real Golden Guard.

"Criminal Yoo Jae-ha. Any last words?"

Why is the crown prince here!

"I'm innocent!"

"Haa!"

The crown prince pointed behind me.

"The person who is dead behind you is the noblest person in the current imperial family. Even with such clear evidence, are you still going to lie?"

Huh? That person is the one my grandfather killed.

"Who is the person behind you, that the crown prince has come in person?"

"It is His Majesty the Emperor."

Huh?

"If you offer your neck now, I will not exterminate up to the nine clans."

"Do you have any intention of listening to my excuse?"

"No."

I said.

"Run!"

The next day.

A piece of news was spread throughout the Central Plains.

A special wanted person.

Yoo Jae-ha.

Crime, regicide.

-If you protect his identity or turn a blind eye even after discovering him, you will be considered an enemy of the imperial family.

The regicide incident.

An unprecedented incident that happened one day.

This time, even the Central Plains could not help but be wary of the imperial family.

The Central Plains declared Yoo Jae-ha a public enemy of the martial world.

On a mountainside.

Yoo Jae-ha, who saw the contents written on the flyer scattering in the air, said.

"Is this for real?"

-Hehe. You will have no choice but to destroy the world.

The words of his grandfather, like a curse, seemed to pass by.
