Absolute Sword Sense

[Side Story Episode 2 Baek Hye-hyang's Story (4)]

‘Damn you bitch!'

Baek Hye-hyang’s face was distorted horribly.

Even if you sprinkle ashes on the finished meal, how could oily residue appear like this?

It appears at such an exquisite moment that it is almost absurd.

She was like that, but Jin Seong-baek, the peerless lord, and his father-in-law, Ha Seong-woon, were equally emotionally shaken.

“Second daughter-in-law?”

Even so, I was surprised that Baek Hye-hyang, the leader of a blood religion, had called herself her daughter-in-law.

However, it was even embarrassing to see that Empress Binghan, Seolbaek, who emerged as a rising power in the Inyo War and took the position of eight great leaders, also claimed to be Unhwi's daughter-in-law.

‘This guy, Unhwi.....’

Even Jin Seongbaek had a hard time understanding what his son, Jin Woonhwi, was doing.

The Seolbaek who appeared now had nothing to do with any other ordinary woman.

If you think back to the Inyo War, it is no exaggeration to say that he is one of the three most powerful warriors in the current martial arts world.

But why does a woman like this call herself a daughter-in-law?

“Son-in-law. “What on earth is going on?...”

“...I don’t know either.”

Baek Hye-hyang said in a nervous voice while feeling embarrassed like this.

“hey. “Who is the second daughter-in-law?”

“I would have said it was me. Brother.”

“Brother? under!”

Baek Hye-hyang's blood-red hair fluttered upward in a surging red haze.

The air around it became heavy as it encroached everywhere in an instant.

“omg!”

“I can’t breathe…”

“Cough.”

There was no chaos, with the chefs and musicians who were cooking vomiting and struggling to breathe in the aftermath.

Unable to control her anger, the sound of Seogalma was heard in her ears.

[Cult leader! Calm down. Are you going to mess things up now?]

Her eyes turned to Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon after hearing those words of dissuasion.

Seeing the two people frowning, she quickly put aside the killing she had been feeling.

Only then did the people around me look like they were alive.

On the other hand, Seolbaek snorted as if to provoke her.

“Heh.”

‘This is really it!'

I tried to get angry again, but Baek Hye-hyang held on to the strings of reason.

If I got excited here, as Seogalma said, the tower I had built might collapse in an instant.

In the world of competition, the cool-headed are the ones who survive.

Baek Hye-hyang spoke in a sarcastic voice.

“It is not approved by your father, nor is it approved by Unhwi or your husband, so how can you become the second daughter-in-law?”

Seolbaek smiled and answered her sharp question.

“Because I was recognized by my first daughter-in-law, Sima Young.”

“She....no....”

The word ‘unni’ could not come out of her mouth, but since Jin Seong-baek was watching, Baek Hye-hyang eventually put aside her pride for a moment and opened her lips.

“Sama Ying....Eunnii....”

“What?”

When I crushed my sister in a hushed voice, Seolbaek pointed it out.

Either way, Baek Hye-hyang said what she had to say.

“.......Since when did you have the authority to decide on your second daughter-in-law? “I heard that your father and maternal grandfather are there.”

I deliberately turned my attention to them.

If he can win the favor of Unhwi by even receiving Sima Ying's approval, he will never be able to ignore the wishes of Jin Seongbaek, who will become his father-in-law.

As expected, Seolbaek's gaze did not leave them.

Seolbaek said in a friendly voice.

“father. My maternal grandfather. Since time immemorial, I have known that the virtue of a daughter-in-law is how well she serves the King and her husband and keeps the family at peace so that she can focus on outside matters. “I have been learning the virtues of a wife for a long time, so

I am more prepared than anyone else to serve King Unhwi.”

Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon, who had been surprised just a moment ago, looked at her words as if they were flowing.

It was as if there was some interest.

Not to be outdone, Baek Hye-hyang also raised her voice and spoke to them.

“I’m ready too!”

“iced coffee. okay? Well then, that's good. “I can prove it here.”

“proof?”

I was puzzled, but Seolbaek smiled and spoke politely to Jin Seongbaek and Ha Seongwoon.

“Cooking is a wife’s basic virtue. “There are food ingredients and cooking utensils here, so I will treat my father and grandfather to at least a simple snack.”

“This is it.”

Ha Sung-woon stroked his beard as she spoke with confidence.

The two women with a burning competitive spirit were the best masters in the current martial arts world.

When I saw these women fighting over one of their grandchildren, I was at a loss as to how to accept it.

‘Should I be happy? Or...'

Should we be concerned?

Meanwhile, Seolbaek went to the place where there was a fireplace and a kitchen counter.

‘shit.'

Baek Hye-hyang felt a little uneasy inside at the confident steps.

He already ruined cooking, which he had mastered at best, so what would it be like if Seolbaek showed that he was even a little good at it?

‘Something needs to be done.'

If you watch closely, she might attract attention.

Even now, both people's eyes were on her.

The servants who were watching approached Seolbaek and asked.

“Do you have any necessary ingredients or preparations?”

“It’s okay, everything is here.”

“yes?”

I couldn't help but feel puzzled when I asked all the guests at the outdoor kitchen to come out.

The number of kitchen counters provided is eight.

The masters thought that there was no way they could use all eight and that it might be bothersome to have someone around them, so they nodded and left the kitchen counter.

Once they were all out of the way, she started placing the ingredients on eight cutting boards.

“No, really?”

“Are you trying to cook eight dishes at the same time?”

The servants murmured at the sight.

Baek Hye-hyang also had doubts.

‘That bitch. ‘Aren't you being too greedy?'

Even though she had never cooked before, there was something she learned from her masters while learning it this time.

That was to focus on one dish.

He said that since you have to taste it and there are numerous methods and time it takes to cook it, if you cook it at the same time, you could end up ruining the whole dish.

Even if there were only two, it would be okay, but if there were eight, concentration would definitely be greatly dispersed.

‘He's digging a grave.'

As I was thinking this, something unbelievable happened.

-Sleep! Shoo shoo shoo!

The snow-white seal dispersed like smoke, moving across the eight countertops at an incredible speed, preparing food ingredients, and my mouth was agape.

Exclamations came from everywhere.

“oh my god!”

“A certain body was divided.”

“What on earth is this?”

To the eyes of ordinary people, it would look like Seolbaek used self-immolation techniques.

However, it was moving fast enough to cause an afterimage.

‘under!'

Baek Hye-hyang was astonished and snorted.

When cooking, he even used Lee Hyeong-hwan-wi (移形換位), a highly advanced technique.

It was like using a cow knife to kill a chicken.

‘You're using a lot of effort.'

However, the guests’ reaction was not surprising.

At first, they seemed surprised by Lee Hyung-hwan, but their eyes widened and they couldn't help but be shocked.

“How can this be...”

“How can there be a recipe like that?”

“Even if he were the royal magistrate, he wouldn’t be able to handle that kind of food.”

“In my fifty years of training experience, this is the first time I have seen such amazing skills.”

Baek Hye-hyang felt like she was in a cold sweat as she heard their voices.

Seolbaek was a man whose cooking skills were so close to magic that it was no surprise that he had lived for such a long time.

“Awesome. son-in-law.”

Ha Sung-woon and Jin Seong-baek could not take their eyes off him.

Anyone who shows off his martial arts skills and brilliant cooking skills at the same time is bound to lose their attention.

‘Samjon, please come up with something.'

Baek Hye-hyang turned her head and looked at where Seogalma was.

But Seogalma was also watching this with fascination.

‘........’

I felt annoyed.

Eventually, Seolbaek, who had finished cooking with great skill, brought the food.

The only things I knew about were five-spice soybean pork, stir-fried crab meat, and dongpo meat, and the other half were dishes I had never heard of or seen before, and they looked so appetizing that my mouth watered.

I couldn't help but admit it.

“Let’s eat it before it gets cold.”

“Huh.”

The two people who were exclaiming quickly took the chopsticks to the food.

Jin Seong-baek's eyes widened as he tasted them one by one, and Ha Seong-woon nodded repeatedly with exclamations.

I was so satisfied that I was even ecstatic.

“Hehehe. “It’s a delicacy.”

Even Jin Seong-baek, who had doubted her authenticity just a moment ago, was almost jealous of her son Woon-hwi's amazing cooking skills.

“Hehe.”

Seolbaek showed a remorseful smile as if he had won.

The veins on Baek Hye-hyang's forehead stood out as the medicine rose.

Seolbaek spoke in a soothing voice as if he would not miss the opportunity.

“father. How do you feel? “I don’t know if you’ll like it.”

Her appearance was truly that of an ideal daughter-in-law.

What father-in-law wouldn't be taken in by such cooking skills and affable appearance?

‘hmm.'

It was Jin Seong-baek, who, as a daughter-in-law, was considered to have no choice but to focus on Seol-baek if he were to give priority to someone.

“.......It tastes good. “I think it’s been a long time since I realized that food can make people happy.”

“oh. “Be happy.”

Seolbaek is elated at the highest praise that came from Jinseongbaek’s mouth.

Everything seemed to be in her favor.

At that time, Baek Hye-hyang raised the corner of her mouth and spoke in a meaningful voice.

“A 300-year-old man is trying his best to find a young husband.”

‘!?'

Jin Seong-baek and Ha Sung-woon's expressions hardened at her revelation.

Seolbaek’s smiling face was also distorted as if there was a crack in it.

Although she had guessed that she might know about the years she had lived through Unhwi, she did not expect that she would reveal it in this place.

“you!”

The daughter-in-law who had been so friendly just now changed into something as scary as Ashura.

However, soon, perhaps because he was conscious of Jin Seong-baek and Ha Seong-woon, his expression relaxed and he quickly explained himself.

“Father, first of all, let me tell you…”

“Three hundred years old? “Is what the blood cultist says true?”

Jin Seong-baek's serious question left her speechless.

In fact, she didn't care about her age.

But the current situation was a different matter.

‘.......'

Even when I knew that Unhwi was older than myself, I didn't think about this situation, but after learning the whole truth, it was extremely embarrassing.

It was because he had fallen in love with a man hundreds of years younger than him.

“Is it true?”

It's already been revealed, so what can I do by lying about it?

She was biting her lip but soon stopped denying it.

“......It’s true. But seriously, him.....”

“Oh my.”

Ha Sung-woon was so shocked that he stumbled for a moment.

Jin Seong-baek urgently helped him up.

“Father-in-law!”

“Son-in-law.....Woonhwi.....Woonhwi, what the hell is this guy.....”

Perhaps because it was in front of the person in question, Ha Sung-woon couldn’t bear to continue his conversation.

If he was a little older, I wouldn't have minded at all.

But isn't this right?

‘...You're not an older person, you're an ancestor.'
