At such an incredibly shocking story.
Gongsun Dana made an expression as if she had been struck in the cheek.
According to what was known in the martial world, the One-Eyed Immortal deeply loved the Seven-Finger Demon Blade Bu Zhanyang.
It was said that she willingly let him into the secret treasury of the Fire Soul Land, where outsiders were absolutely forbidden from entering.
To think that the very person who damaged her eye was the Seven-Finger Demon Blade?
Bu Eunseol's eyes also deepened.
In the masked man's memory, his grandfather swung his blade and blinded a woman in both eyes.
But to think he even damaged one of the One-Eyed Immortal's eyes.
"..."
However, his eyes were calm.
He had already promised to shoulder all of his grandfather's karma.
Until the inside story of a certain incident was perfectly revealed, he maintained a firm belief in his grandfather.
"Such..."
Gongsun Dana was greatly flustered.
If this was the case, didn't she bring Bu Eunseol for nothing?
'This is a problem that cannot be solved with strength.'
Gongsun Dana guessed that the special medicine the Seven-Finger Demon Blade Bu Zhanyang had left behind.
Was probably the inner core of a Fire Soul Flying Fox living in this Fire Soul Land.
However, because it was known that the Fire Soul Flying Fox only listened to the orders of the Fire Soul Land Lord, and if another person forcefully caught it, it would die immediately.
No matter how great Bu Eunseol's martial arts were.
Without the permission of the One-Eyed Immortal, they would not be able to obtain the spiritual medicine to save the Palace Master.
"Isn't that a lie?"
At that time, Bu Eunseol, who had been deep in thought, stepped forward.
"There is no way my grandfather would only damage the Immortal's eye."
"What did you say?"
"My grandfather's blade arts were unmatched under heaven, and no one could withstand them."
Bu Eunseol said with a solemn expression.
"If he wanted the Immortal's life, he would have severed your neck in a single breath. Was there a need to intentionally damage only one eye?"
"Command Lord!"
Gongsun Dana shouted in surprise, but Bu Eunseol continued with a voice full of conviction.
"If my grandfather damaged the Immortal's eye, there must certainly have been a reason for it."
In an instant, even the One-Eyed Immortal's intact eye turned white as she rolled it back.
Seeing that sight, Gongsun Dana jumped as if burned and tried to stop Bu Eunseol.
"Command Lord. Are you trying to ruin my affairs right now?"
However, Bu Eunseol ignored Gongsun Dana and asked the One-Eyed Immortal again.
"If it isn't, try saying it isn't, Immortal."
"Command Lord!"
Gongsun Dana finally couldn't hold back and shouted loudly.
"You did not come to help me get the medicine right now, but rather to interfere with me!"
"If the Immortal truly considers my grandfather an enemy, nothing will change even if I say these words."
"Are you saying that makes sense right now?"
Seeing tears welling up in Gongsun Dana's eyes, Bu Eunseol took a deep breath.
'Were my words a bit too harsh?'
Outwardly, he pretended to be calm, but.
At his grandfather's unexpected past being revealed one after another.
Bu Eunseol was reacting increasingly sensitively.
"I will certainly cure the Palace Master's illness, even if I have to put my neck on the line."
Bu Eunseol looked at Gongsun Dana and said calmly.
"So let us return without wasting any more time."
"No, I absolutely need the spiritual medicine of the Fire Soul Land."
Gongsun Dana said earnestly.
"There is nothing I haven't tried so far. I visited all the doctors known as Divine Physicians, and there is no spiritual medicine I haven't used."
The Divine Water Palace did not engage in martial world activities, but they had a wide network of connections with numerous renowned individuals.
And the palace's treasure vault was full of spiritual medicines and spiritual herbs gathered from all over the world.
Gongsun Dana and the elders mobilized all sorts of methods to cure the Palace Master, but there was no effect.
In the end, she pinned her last hope on the Fire Soul Land and came here.
"Mmm."
Bu Eunseol let out a deep sigh.
Until now, he had accomplished things many said were impossible with his mysterious wisdom and schemes.
And he defeated powerful enemies he was expected to absolutely never beat.
However, from the very beginning, there was no way to seek goodwill from someone harboring deep resentment.
"I beg of you, Command Lord."
"You don't need to plead with me. I also owe Palace Master Neung a debt."
At Gongsun Dana's earnest appearance, Bu Eunseol let out a deep sigh.
"But seeking goodwill from someone harboring deep resentment is an impossible task from the start."
At that time, the One-Eyed Immortal said something completely unexpected.
"If you are truly Bu Zhanyang's grandson, it is not as if there is no way to obtain the spiritual medicine at all."
She stared intently at Bu Eunseol.
"If you faithfully follow this Immortal's command, I will give you the medicine."
It was a sudden proposal.
Bu Eunseol, having turned his body, said calmly.
"Give me whatever command."
"Marry that child."
The One-Eyed Immortal pointed at Gongsun Dana and said with a sinister voice.
"I am saying I will give you the medicine if you set up a bridal house and consummate the marriage here."
Bu Eunseol gathered his brows, completely unable to understand her intentions.
She would give him the spiritual medicine if he held a wedding ceremony with Gongsun Dana?
"Is there a benefit the Immortal gains from doing such a thing?"
"You should know that better, shouldn't you?"
The One-Eyed Immortal wore a sneer.
"Are you not that Bu Zhanyang's grandson?"
"I do not know at all."
"Then I will ask."
The One-Eyed Immortal said coldly.
"You are a figure of the demonic path, so how did you come to associate with that child of the Divine Water Palace? What is your relationship, and why did you come here with her?"
"I owe a certain debt to her and to the Divine Water Palace. That is why I came here at her request."
"A request?"
The One-Eyed Immortal snorted.
"Since you are the Command Lord of Majeon, you could have paid off your debt through any other means as much as you pleased. But you specifically risked your life to follow her and seek out the true seat."
"As I said..."
"Yes. You wouldn't have been able to refuse. Since you are a great figure who digs a well to repay a single sip of water... the grandson of the great Seven-Finger Demon Blade!"
Her hoarse voice echoing in all directions bore a deep resentment.
Making the listener's hair stand on end.
"You too have certainly inherited the blood of that Seed of Many Affections and are only enjoying captivating the hearts of all sorts of women, aren't you?"
Silence flowed for a while, and heavy air descended around the Fire Soul Land.
No matter how much Bu Eunseol made excuses.
Outwardly, just as the One-Eyed Immortal said, it was with a righteous mask on a handsome face.
He could only appear as someone who came here to win Gongsun Dana's heart.
"If it isn't, try saying it isn't."
She criticized him by copying exactly the words Bu Eunseol had just said.
"I have nothing to say."
"Fufufu, still, you are more honest than your grandfather."
"I do not care if you insult me, but I will not tolerate you cursing my grandfather."
"I am of the same generation as your grandfather. How can calling his grandson more honest be considered a curse?"
It was the right thing to say.
"You are right. I took it more sensitively than necessary."
As Bu Eunseol readily admitted it, the One-Eyed Immortal snorted and continued.
"Now, then, try speaking. Have you married?"
"I have not."
"Even so, there must be women scattered around you? It wouldn't be just one or two."
Even if Bu Eunseol had ten mouths, he had nothing to say.
Because the One-Eyed Immortal's words were accurate.
"And if I ask what your relationship with that child is, you would certainly answer that it is no relationship at all, right?"
When Bu Eunseol could not answer, she ground her teeth and shouted.
"With no relationship at all, you came to this land risking your life to get the spiritual medicine? Simply for the reason that you owe a debt?"
The One-Eyed Immortal shouted with a voice dripping with coldness.
"In the end, you are the same. Wearing a righteous mask... coming here together under the excuse of repaying a debt to steal her heart, aren't you?"
Bu Eunseol lowered his head.
Aside from not harboring dark intentions toward Gongsun Dana, most of her words were true.
"Bu Zhanyang was always like that too."
The One-Eyed Immortal shouted loudly as if bursting with anger.
"Pretending to be righteous, buying the favor of all sorts of women, and in reality, playing with women and leaving without any fruition."
"..."
"And yet his grandson won't marry either, and will play with the women of the world like his grandfather? What a ridiculous thought!"
The One-Eyed Immortal revealed her sharp teeth and shouted.
"This Land Lord will cut off that wicked behavior here! So that you can never play with women again!"
"Just what are you going to do?"
"Did you not hear? Marry that child or get lost!"
She shouted loudly.
"Do not even dream of getting the spiritual medicine through any other means!"
In a very brilliant way.
The One-Eyed Immortal was carrying out her revenge against Bu Zhanyang.
"So the Land Lord's words mean that if I hold a wedding ceremony with the Command Lord..."
At that time, Gongsun Dana asked.
"You will give me the medicine that can cure our Palace Master?"
"That is so."
"I will do it."
"Young lady Gongsun."
When Bu Eunseol looked surprised, Gongsun Dana clasped her two hands toward him.
"Command Lord. I will not forget this grace even if I become white bones."
She knelt down and pleaded.
"Couldn't you think of it as saving the Palace Master?"
Bu Eunseol let out a deep sigh.
He could sufficiently understand Gongsun Dana's feelings. No, if he were in the same situation, he too would have done so.
If it was to save a precious person, one could even throw away their life, so a marriage was nothing.
"It seems you thought my words were a joke."
At that time, the One-Eyed Immortal said to Bu Eunseol.
"If you marry, you must swear that you will not meet any other woman, and you will not be able to take a second wife."
And she added.
"And as soon as you hold the wedding, this Land Lord will proclaim that fact to the martial world. So that you can never act as a philanderer again."
Bu Eunseol could not say anything.
What if he sincerely loved Gongsun Dana? Such a promise would be nothing.
However, in this manner without any feelings.
Being told to blindly marry and spend their whole lives as husband and wife was close to cruel violence.
"Do you have to block human ties in such a manner?"
"Then are you saying you will continue to seduce women in the future?"
"I have never seduced anyone."
"Yes, of course it would be like that for you."
The One-Eyed Immortal spoke as if she saw clearly into Bu Eunseol's situation.
"But the women waiting for you will continue to increase."
"..."
"In the end, you spoke words that are incredibly cunning. Because those words mean you will toy with women for your whole life."
The One-Eyed Immortal waved her hand as if annoyed.
"It's annoying to explain any further. Just get lost."
"Immortal."
Gongsun Dana clasped her two hands again, but the One-Eyed Immortal coldly looked away.
"I am not forcing you, so just leave. Do not linger uselessly in this land."
The One-Eyed Immortal's personality was truly incredibly eccentric and extreme.
She was not talking nonsense; she truly intended to give the medicine only if they held the wedding.
"Command Lord."
Gongsun Dana looked up at Bu Eunseol with an earnest expression.
"I beg of you, please."
As if thinking marriage was the only way to save the Divine Water Palace Master, she spoke desperately.
"It is not for me, but for the Palace Master."
Bu Eunseol's heart ached.
Gongsun Dana possessed a beautiful appearance that any man would dream of at least once.
Her personality was not abrasive and was as pure as a child.
That beautiful woman, who truly seemed born to receive the love of all the men in the world.
In order to save her sick master...
She was begging for marriage.
Trickle.
As she shed tears like pearl drops, Bu Eunseol bit his lip.
"Young lady Gongsun. Marriage is not an issue just between the two of us."
The One-Eyed Immortal said she would proclaim it to the martial world if they held the wedding ceremony.
She was forcing an oath not to meet any other woman from then on.
If that happened, not only would the women waiting for Bu Eunseol receive a great shock.
The numerous factions aiming for him.
Would from now on focus their blades on Gongsun Dana.
"I know. I will go to all the people waiting for the Command Lord and tell them the circumstances."
She said so, but her complexion was extremely dark.
Because the person she had to convey these circumstances to first was none other than her own older sister, Gongsun Dankyung.
"That is not what I meant."
Bu Eunseol said more seriously than ever.
"From the moment it is proclaimed that you married me, young lady Gongsun, of course, but even the Divine Water Palace could become greatly endangered."
"It is fine."
Gongsun Dana wore a sad smile.
"If it is known that I married the Command Lord anyway, I cannot remain as a disciple of the Divine Water Palace."
There was no rule in the Divine Water Palace saying one must not marry, but for generations, those who would become the Divine Water Palace Master lived single lives.
But if Gongsun Dana, who was recognized as the next Palace Master, were to marry Bu Eunseol?
Not only could she not become the next Palace Master.
She would take on the stigma of having ruined the honor of the Divine Water Palace, which had maintained the roots of the Orthodox Faction for generations.
"Once this matter is over, I will leave this Palace and enter a temple to become a Buddhist nun."
Gongsun Dana not only intended to leave the Divine Water Palace because of this matter.
In order not to cause harm to anyone, she was prepared to become a nun.
"You only told us to marry, so it shouldn't matter if I become a nun afterward, right?"
As Gongsun Dana glared with venomous eyes, the One-Eyed Immortal snorted.
"Do as you please. This Immortal only cares that you two hold a modest wedding ceremony here and consummate it for one night."
Her goal was clear.
To marry Bu Eunseol and Gongsun Dana, and proclaim that fact to the martial world.
She considered that as revenge against the Seven-Finger Demon Blade who coldly threw away women like old shoes.
'Is it unavoidable?'
In order to save her master.
And in order not to cause harm to him, Gongsun Dana gave up and laid down everything.
So how could he ignore that?
"Understood."
Bu Eunseol nodded.
Then Gongsun Dana showed a bright smile.
"Thank you."
"Yes, I knew you would do that."
The One-Eyed Immortal, who was watching that sight, snorted.
"Seeds of Many Affections like you will do anything recklessly if it means you can bewitch women."
She showed a wicked smile.
"But even after holding the wedding and proclaiming that fact to the entire martial world, we will see if you can still smile in the future."
Out of nowhere, a wedding ceremony was held in the desolate Fire Soul Land.
Around the clearing, black volcanic ash swept away by the disciples of the Fire Soul Land for half a day drew a perfect circle.
Along the boundary of that circle, they carefully embedded spiritual herb crystals that had lost their spiritual power and hardened like fossils.
As the sun set and darkness fell.
These crystals absorbed the moonlight and began to emit faint light of different colors.
Lanterns made by patching red and blue paper were hung throughout the wedding venue.
Creating a mysterious curtain of light that could not commonly be seen.
On the path where the groom and bride would walk in, two widths of red silk were laid out long.
Bu Eunseol wore a red robe embroidered with a qilin pattern, and around his waist, instead of a jade belt, he wore a sash adorned with red tassels.
'She said it was a modest wedding,'
He looked around with a dumbfounded expression.
On a giant wedding table carved out of stone, a pair of dragon-phoenix candlesticks engraved with dragons and phoenixes were placed.
And a liquor bottle made of clean porcelain was set upon it.
They were truly doing everything that should be done.
"Bride, please enter!"
At the shout of a disciple of the Fire Soul Land wearing a faded bluish-gray robe.
From afar, Gongsun Dana, wearing a phoenix crown delicately decorated with phoenix wings and flowers, slowly walked over.
Although instead of splendid gold and jade, it was made by disciples carving obsidian and embedding red spiritual herb crystals.
Its exquisiteness and beauty were not inferior to what was used in the imperial palace.
The wedding dress made of crimson silk was embroidered with golden thread in phoenix embroidery, shining brilliantly under the candlelight with every movement.
With her face powdered white and her lips painted red, Gongsun Dana truly looked like a heavenly beauty.
Rustle, rustle.
Gongsun Dana, who was walking slowly, lowered her head as if shy when she looked at Bu Eunseol standing majestically.
There was no splendid musical performance or the clamor of guests.
Amidst a place filled only with the sound of the wind brushing past ashes and the crackling sound of burning candles.
The low and solemn voice of the head disciple of the Fire Soul Land rang out.
"Kneel before the gods of heaven and earth and bow!"
Bu Eunseol and Gongsun Dana looked at each other.
Once the wedding ceremony proceeded, not only could it not be reversed.
With all the disciples of the Fire Soul Land, including the One-Eyed Immortal, standing as witnesses, the marriage of the two would be proclaimed to the entire martial world.
