Episode 892 It’s a Good Day, Isn’t It?
They finally arrived.
After greeting their two fathers, Geom Mu-geuk and Ian greeted the two alliance leaders in turn.
Baek Ja-gang smiled and said to Geommu-geuk.
“I was wondering why you weren’t coming to taste my cooking—so you’ve fallen in love.”
“I think you’ll have to cook double portions for me now.”
“I should. Come visit anytime.”
Han Seo-kyung looked at Ian and was reminded of her deceased older sister.
“Your mother would have been so happy if she had seen this.”
Ian looked up at the sky.
Are you watching? Come to think of it, I was so busy today that I couldn’t even think of you, Mom. Please forgive me.
This was as far as her feelings for her mother went. She did not try to delve any deeper. She stopped at the entrance because she knew that place was filled only with pain and longing. Because she believed that her mother would have wanted the same.
“The Ice Palace is always open for you. Don’t forget.”
“Yes, thank you, Aunt.”
Han Seo-kyung’s face lit up as it was the first time she had heard the word “aunt” directly.
Watching Geom Mu-geuk and Ian go to greet the Demon Lords, Geom Woo-jin spoke proudly.
I was the first to get married.
It was a boast brought up while recalling the day he had bragged about his children during the three-way meeting years ago. Today was a definite victory.
Jin Pae-cheon admitted defeat.
“I’m frustrated, but I lost.”
However, Baek Ja-gang had no intention of giving in easily.
“I lost the marriage, but who knows who will see grandchildren first.”
Baek Ja-gang looked at Bi Sa-in and Han Seol sitting in front of him.
While chatting earlier, he had heard that the two children had become close lately. Jin Pae-cheon naturally felt a sense of urgency, but he also had one last move.
You may only see a daughter-in-law, but I can see a granddaughter-in-law and even a grandson-in-law.
Geom Woo-jin and Baek Ja-gang laughed at those words.
Sobaekta, who was watching, could not believe it. To think that the Leader of the Demonic Cult, the Leader of the Murim Alliance, and the Leader of the Evil Alliance were engaging in such a childish competition!
Meanwhile, Geom Mu-geuk and Ian went to where the Eight Demon Lords and other masters were sitting. First, they respectfully greeted the masters who had come from outside, and then went to the Eight Demon Lords.
“Elder!”
Geom Mu-geuk went to Blood Heaven Daoist first. Even though the other Demon Lords were all by his side, the person he sought out first was Blood Heaven Daoist.
Nevertheless, Blood Heaven Demon had a sullen expression for some reason.
“Why are you doing this?”
Then, Ilhwa Geomjon, who was standing nearby, quietly mentioned it.
“He practiced officiating the wedding.”
“When did I!”
It seems he expected to be asked to officiate the wedding. Geommugeuk soothed him.
“I assumed that since you did it once during the time of the Lord of the Underworld Pavilion, you would never want to do it again. And please think about it. Our broad-minded elder would let it go immediately if I said this, but the Lord of the Pungcheon Sect will hold onto this for three years.”
Just then, an eerie voice was heard from behind.
“Three years? Not thirty years?”
When I turned around, the Pungcheon Sect Leader was coming to that place.
“Now it’s the other way around. Just when you’re cursing, I show up.”
Geommugeuk smiled and comforted him.
“Master! How could that be? I was just joking because I thought you were coming. Please accept a drink from me.”
Pungcheon-gyo-ju received the wine of Geommu-geuk.
Thank you so much for today. I will live well, just as you advised.
Ian also bowed respectfully along with Geom Mu-geuk.
The Pungcheon Sect Leader emptied the wine Geom Mu-geuk had given him. And now, he conveyed the sincere feelings he could not express when he officiated the wedding earlier.
“Don’t get tired. I… will need you in the future.”
Pungcheon Gyoju spoke those words without hesitation, even though the Gyoju, Alliance Leaders, and Eight Demon Lords were present.
“Yes. I won’t get tired.”
“Then that’s enough.”
Geommugeuk received a cup of wine from each of the Eight Demon Lords.
He received a drink from the Blood Heaven Daoma first.
“The two of us are going to look at books now.”
“I guess I should buy some new books.”
Blood Heaven Daoist could not bring himself to tell Ian not to come because Ian was by his side. Still, he did say this: now that Ian was by his side.
I see you’ll make sure to bring your pajamas.
Ian poured wine for Ilhwa Geomjon.
I look forward to your continued guidance.
After all, aside from Geom Woo-jin and Geom Mu-geuk, Ilhwa Geomjon was the most skilled swordsman in the Heavenly Demon Cult.
The way Ilhwa Geomjon looked at Ian was different from before. After all, she was now the wife of the Young Cult Leader.
“What is your goal, Somahu?”
Ian flinched in surprise when he was called Somahu. It was the moment he truly realized that he was married.
After a brief pause, Ian answered calmly.
It is to witness the ultimate technique of swordsmanship.
Ilhwa Geomjon nodded. If the paths are the same.
We could go together.
Chwima poured wine into the Ice Palace Holy Grail for Geom Mugeuk. Since it was a public occasion, he did so respectfully.
This is the liquor I prepared to give you today.
Geommugeuk drank alcohol with Ian.
“It is really delicious.”
“You have brought out the most delicious liquor I have.”
They always say it’s the best liquor, but even better ones keep coming out.
I will taste the wine on the day of the wedding, Lady Chwima, and evaluate it then.
The demon lords who were listening laughed at those words.
Seophonmajon looked forward to the day he would ascend to the position of sect leader as he watched Geommugeuk’s life continue to advance step by step.
Mabul gave a needless reprimand.
“Your older brother isn’t married yet either, so is it okay for the younger brother to get married first?”
However, from Mabul’s body as he poured the alcohol, a bright and clear radiance was flowing out, the kind that comes out when he is in a good mood.
The Poison King said to Ian
“Somahu, please stop by Cheondokrim when you have some free time and help me with my work.”
He meant to ask for help, but he meant to tell me about poison.
Yes, I will definitely come to see you.
The two of them walked finally toward Geukak Soma.
Geukak Soma took two masks from his pocket and handed them over. They were the Pleasure Demon Masks that he and the Maskless Ones were currently wearing.
This is a mask worn during festivals. I prepared it as a gift with the hope that you will live your life like this mask.
Previously, Geommugeuk and Ian had received ordinary masks as gifts, but this was their first time seeing the Pleasure Demon Mask.
“Yes, I will live my life like a festival.”
Two people wore masks and looked at each other. Inside the masks, three people smiled brightly.
Just then, Geom Woo-jin rose from his seat and walked toward where the Demon Lords were.
Geom Mu-geuk and Ian took off their masks and put them in their bosoms.
Geom Woo-jin spoke to Chwi-ma.
“Did you bring that?”
“Yes, Master.”
Chwima brought a bottle of liquor from behind.
It is the drunken melody of Daechwirim.
You have no idea how much Chwima suffered because it spoiled.
However, today the cult leader had just one bottle of alcohol brought in.
Geom Woo-jin took the liquor and poured it for the leaders, saying
“It is the liquor that represents our school.”
Chwima, who was listening to those words, was deeply moved. The Sect Leader had originally regarded the practice of predicting the well-being of the Divine Sect based on whether the alcohol of Daechwirim was spoiled or not as a superstition. However, today, the Sect Leader had described the alcohol as the representative liquor of the Sect.
Now, everyone, raise your glasses.
His low voice echoed clearly in the ears of all the guests in the grand training hall.
Who would dare disobey such words? Everyone filled their cups and raised them.
As Geom Woo-jin raised his glass, everyone rose and raised theirs as well.
Thank you for attending my son’s wedding. Let’s have a toast.
This time, Geommugeuk was deeply moved. He truly did not expect Father to have the liquor brought personally and to propose a toast like this.
It was a moment that allowed him to realize once again just how happy Father was today.
Everyone present emptied their glasses. It was the moment they drank with the Heavenly Demon. For the demons, it was a moment of immense glory. Even for those who were not demons, this was a moment they would never forget in their lifetime.
After toasting, Geom Woo-jin sat back down and talked with the alliance leaders.
Thank you, Father.
Geommugeuk went to Geommuyang, who was standing a short distance away.
“Hey bro, let’s have a drink together.”
“I’m fine.”
“Did you forget? You’re a full-fledged member of our friends’ group, too.”
Geommugeuk took Geommuyang to where his friends were.
You’ve been waiting a long time, haven’t you?
Geommugeuk emptied his glasses with his brother and friends. Geommugeuk
‘s face was flushed because he hadn’t let go of the alcohol. He had decided to just get drunk, at least for today.
None of the friends there had let go of the alcohol either. Everyone was pleasantly intoxicated.
Jinhagun spoke to the two people.
“That was tough, wasn’t it? Now, get some rest.”
He didn’t say a word of congratulations or thanks. It was meant to be a suggestion to rest, at least here, since he had said those words to people countless times before. He
had originally planned to attack Geommugeuk in a united front with Bisain. He intended to tease the youngest one by asking where he was getting married.
However, seeing the two of them arrive with their energy drained, he lost the desire to do so.
Still, it’s comfortable and nice being with my friends.
Bisain asked Geommugeuk.
“You once told me to have about seven children and line them up. How many do you plan to have?”
Ian’s face flushed slightly when the topic of his children came up.
“Wouldn’t it be enough to have just one pretty daughter who looks like this young lady?”
Then Ian said.
I also need a son who looks like you.
Then Jinha shook his head and said.
“That would be difficult. If the son resembles that friend, our children will have a hard time.”
Bisain let out a feigned sigh, saying that it would eventually turn out that way.
Hansol mentioned a different case.
“Unexpectedly, a taciturn son might be born, unlike his father.”
Jin Ha-ryeong imagined such a son.
The father keeps chattering, and the young son listens maturely. That would be quite a sight.
Everyone laughed at her words.
They all drank together. It certainly felt like the gathering was complete with the arrival of the sword dance performance.
Just then, exciting music began to play on the stage. Dancers who had changed their clothes were dancing to the music. If the piece played earlier had been elegant, this was an exciting one.
Bisain quietly rose from his seat.
I thought he was about to formally offer his congratulations, but then an action followed that surprised everyone.
Bisain began to sway gently to the music. He was the one who had vowed that there would be no more dancing in his life.
Everyone looked on with surprised expressions, as no one had imagined that Bisain would get up and dance while drinking.
“Did something happen while my wedding was in progress?”
Even amidst the jokes of the sword dance, Bisain let his body move to the music. He paid no heed to the attention of those around him. He felt no shame, either.
It’s a good day, isn’t it?
It was neither a practiced dance nor a grandiose one. It was simply a dance performed out of joy.
This dance was his own celebratory performance dedicated to the sword dance drama.
Geommugeuk demonstrated once again today what kind of leader he should become. I may not be able to live like that, but at least I could see the direction. After all, in life, direction is more important than speed.
Congratulations, my friend. And thank you.
Hanseol, who had been watching Bisain dance, stood up from her seat.
Are you planning to sing?
The reason the sword dance asked that way was because she sang when she danced in the past.
No, I want to dance too.
Hansol started dancing next to Bisain, swaying her body gently.
Geommugeuk flinched in surprise.
Those two must have been bitten by a venomous insect that causes madness while hanging out together lately.
However, there was another person bitten by that poisonous insect. Jin Ha-ryeong had risen.
“I can’t be left out when it comes to dancing.”
“What’s wrong with you, too?”
“None of the Bonmaeng masters came today.”
It means there is no reason to be embarrassed.
Jin Ha-ryeong began to sway gently beside the two of them.
Of course, the sect leaders and alliance leaders, as well as the demon lords and masters, were all watching them dance. It wasn’t the first time, so they weren’t even surprised anymore.
Geommugeuk looked at Jinhagun.
Your younger sibling has started going crazy, too.
At that moment, Jinha slowly stood up from his seat.
“Why are you acting so scary? Hagun, snap out of it. You’re not usually this kind of person, are you?”
Of course, Jinha wasn’t this kind of person. He wasn’t, but he became someone who says such things.
“Didn’t you guys put on a celebratory performance for me when I became the leader of the Young Alliance? Today is your wedding day, so there’s no reason I can’t perform.”
Jinha also started dancing.
However, it wasn’t a dance with large, exaggerated movements. Everyone swayed their bodies gently and pleasantly.
Geommugeuk glanced stealthily at his brother.
“do you want to die?”
Geommugeuk laughed at his brother’s remark.
Right, not everyone was bitten by a poisonous insect.
Geommugeuk looked at Ian.
Ian looked toward Geom Woo-jin at the look that said, “Let’s go too!”
Father is watching.
What does it matter? He’s just watching his son and daughter-in-law dance.
Her hesitation did not last long. Now that they had danced without Bisain having ordered and all their friends had stood up, how could they possibly remain seated?
Let’s go.
Let’s go! If you’re really shy, don’t we have masks?
Geommugeuk and Ian also stood up and started dancing together.
Since Ian was in front of Geom Woo-jin and Gwonma, he only swayed his upper body very slightly.
The people who were truly surprised were the ordinary guests.
Their eyes widened in astonishment. The successors of the Divine Cult, the Murim Alliance, the Sadomaeng Alliance, and the Ice Palace were dancing.
The entire future martial arts world was literally dancing.
It was the first banquet of its kind in the history of the martial arts world. It was not a mere formality, but a festival where the bride and groom danced with their friends.
Yong Ja-myeong looked at them dancing and said to his son.
“Son, whether you take over the family business or do something else, work hard at whatever you do. It seems like a wonderful era is coming for you.”
Geom Woo-jin, who was watching, wore a look of disbelief, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.
Baek Ja-gang’s small eyes, watching the dancing youths, shone.
“The Young Master makes my blood boil. He makes me want to return to my youth and mingle with the Young Master.”
Jin Pae-cheon, who was listening, felt the same way. Even if he were to return to his younger self, he doubted he would dance along given his personality, but he at least fully agreed with the statement that it made his blood boil.
The Eight Demon Lords drank as they watched the dancing. Watching the young people dance to the exciting music stirred intense emotions in their hearts. They drank while reminiscing about their past youth. The young Soul-Seop Demon Lord wanted to run out.
The sword dance performance shouted to the guests.
Let’s all dance if we want to!
At those words, Seventeen stood up from his seat as if he had been waiting for it.
I want to dance too.
At the words of the Seventeen Schools, the Crescent Moon Faceless Guest suddenly stood up.
Let’s get cold!
This is why masks are so great. The two began to dance uninhibitedly, and the surrounding masked performers started circling around them, performing a bizarre dance. Since they were used to doing so many strange things, the sight didn’t seem odd at all. Now they finally looked like masked performers.
Jo Chun-bae looked at his wife and got hit on the back.
What a fool!
Everyone enjoyed this exciting banquet.
Everyone instinctively knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, so their hips were swaying to the exciting music.
Amidst the gradually rising heat, the sword dance shouted to the musicians.
With even more exciting music!
