"Where am I? How did I get here?" Yoon Ji-woo woke up in the morning to find herself lying in an unfamiliar room. Fortunately, nothing had happened, and the pain from being beaten was now gone.
Stepping out of the room, Lee Yeong was busy in the kitchen. After his morning exercise, he had bought groceries at the supermarket, intending to make a loving breakfast for Cha Eun Sang, and incidentally, to entertain the "guest" at home...
"Oh, you're awake? How do you feel?" Although it was his first time treating an injured person, the effect shouldn't be too bad. "I saw you passed out in the alley when I came back last night, so I brought you here."
"Oh... thank you... I'm fine, I'll take my leave now," she said, preparing to open the door and leave.
"Are you going... to find the murderer who killed your father?"
Yoon Ji-woo's hand on the doorknob stopped, her movement to open the door paused. She was slightly stunned, then rushed to Lee Yeong like a madwoman, grabbing his arm and asking, "Do you know who the murderer is? Who is it? How do you know?"
Lee Yeong glanced at the breakfast he was making, and a surge of energy erupted from him, pushing Yoon Ji-woo to the ground. He didn't answer her question but instead put the breakfast into prepared containers before turning back to her.
"I'm going to deliver breakfast to my girlfriend now and won't be back until this afternoon. If you want to know who the murderer is, stay at home. Oh, by the way, all the utensils are in the cupboard. Even if you want revenge, what can you do with your current strength?"
With that, he didn't pay attention to Yoon Ji-woo, who was doubting her life. He didn't want to miss delivering his love to his girlfriend because of this...
...
Cha Eun Sang sat on her bed, recalling the events of yesterday, and couldn't help but wonder if it was all a dream. She had only just met him, yet she couldn't bring herself to refuse Lee Yeong. Could it be that she had fallen for him?
Lee Yeong's appearance became a shining star in Cha Eun Sang's dim life, bringing her the motivation to persevere when she was originally exhausted. Cha Eun Sang also began to look forward to a different life in the future...
"You... why are you here?" As soon as Cha Eun Sang stepped out, she saw Lee Yeong standing outside the door and felt an unconscious surge of pleasant surprise.
"To take you to school! I specially made this for you this morning; it's a specialty from my hometown. I hope it suits your taste." He then took Cha Eun Sang's backpack and pulled out the carefully prepared breakfast from behind him.
"Thank you, you really don't have to do so much, and I'm not used to you being so kind to me..." Lee Yeong's actions deeply moved Cha Eun Sang. While feeling happy, she also felt a little overwhelmed.
"You, don't overthink it, eat it while it's hot." Lee Yeong didn't want his love to become a burden for her. He then drove Cha Eun Sang to school. "I'll pick you up after school. Call me if anything comes up."
Looking at Lee Yeong's departing back, Cha Eun Sang had an urge to embrace him, but she felt a bit embarrassed due to too many classmates...
...
After dropping Cha Eun Sang off at school, Lee Yeong planned to buy a manor villa in Seoul. In the days to come, he would focus a part of his attention on developing his small world, and at the same time, he would come into contact with more gods, humans, demons, and monsters, so he had to make some preparations in advance.
The house purchase went smoothly. In Korea, as long as you have money, everything will open its doors for you. Lee Yeong took a liking to a European-style manor located in the suburbs of Seoul, priced at 30 billion.
However, as he was about to purchase it, he discovered something very strange: this manor, originally priced at 80 billion, had been repeatedly bought and sold within a month.
Everyone who moved into the manor died unexpectedly in a short period, and the developer, for profit, chose to conceal everything, merely lowering the price and continuing to list it for sale...
Lee Yeong, however, didn't care in the slightest. When he arrived at the villa, under the gaze of the Eye of Illusion, the entire manor was shrouded in a deathly aura. And through the concealment of the deathly aura, the aura emanating from the villa's basement was the most terrifying. From
Lee Yeong's observation, it should also have nearly a thousand years of cultivation, but it had been in a dormant state...
He originally thought it was just a few earth-bound spirits or evil ghosts, but he didn't expect to encounter something troublesome. It wasn't that Lee Yeong couldn't defeat it, but fighting a thousand-year-old entity would definitely make him lose control of his power, and this manor wouldn't be preserved.
Moreover, the commotion of the battle would definitely be detected by some terrifying existences, leaving him in a dilemma for a while.
After much thought, although he came up with a good plan, he needed a helper. Left with no choice, Lee Yeong had to use his trump card... He took out his phone, ready to call for backup... That's right, among the people he currently knew, only Jang Man Wol could help him.
"Lee Yeong, are you trying to die? You always interrupt my beauty sleep. If you can't give me a good reason, I'll definitely tear you into five pieces," Jang Man Wol looked at Lee Yeong in the video, fuming. Wasn't Koo Chan-sung tormenting her enough? Now another one?!
"Big Sister, it's already noon. Besides, last time, I was just concerned about you, okay? Shouldn't you be praising me?" The next moment, thinking that he needed her help, Lee Yeong's sycophantic nature was fully exposed.
"What's more, Man Wol, you are naturally beautiful and don't need any of that. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen..."
"Stop, stop, stop. What do you need my help with? I don't have time to chat with you..." Jang Man Wol had never seen this guy praise her so much, so she knew he definitely had something going on.
"I've run into a bit of trouble. Just come over first, there's a big guy..."
Although Jang Man Wol knew that Lee Yeong was an exorcist with some cultivation, the "big guy" he spoke of, in her opinion, would only require a little more effort... But after arriving, she was a bit dumbfounded. Although she couldn't determine what it was, it was definitely a thousand-year-level entity...
Lee Yeong briefly explained the situation to Jang Man Wol, which surprised her again. This little kid was actually a big rich man! No, she had to fleece him a few times. For a moment, Jang Man Wol thought of the clothes, bags, and sports cars she had her eyes on, and her eyes lit up as she looked at Lee Yeong!
"I can certainly set up such a barrier, but are you sure you can deal with that guy? That's a thousand-year-level entity, not a small fry of a few decades or centuries. Even I can't guarantee to kill it!" Jang Man Wol was a little worried. It was rare to meet a friend she could talk to, and she didn't want to send him to the River of Forgetfulness.
"Don't worry, I don't do things I'm not confident about."
Although she didn't understand where Lee Yeong's confidence came from, with her protection, Lee Yeong would be fine. As for the villa, if it was ruined, then so be it...
Soon, the two of them eliminated all the evil spirits scattered throughout the manor and headed towards the basement. The closer they got, the more obvious the ominous aura became.
Lee Yeong, in his normal state, also felt an irresistible pressure, but as the Eye of Illusion flashed, the original pressure vanished. It turned out that the Eye of Illusion could also resist external pressure; even a Great Luo Immortal couldn't defeat Lee Yeong merely by their aura...
"Are you okay?" Jang Man Wol naturally also sensed Lee Yeong's abnormality and worried that he might be in danger. "If you can't do it, I can go alone."
"I'm fine now. Let's go. I'm not as weak as you think!"
Jang Man Wol was a little puzzled. How did Lee Yeong, who was struggling just now, suddenly become fine? Unable to figure it out, she could only continue to follow Lee Yeong deeper... Finally, they arrived in the basement room and saw what was inside...
