Hwayugi fanfic (Korean odyssey) : Guardian

Predestined fate part 8

She opens her eyes. He still came.......

She knows that no matter how far away she is, if it's for her, he will definitely come......without regrets and hesitation.

She can see her reflection in his eyes. If he's here, then he must know......this place is forbidden, abandoned by the spiritual realm.

She's cold and wet, his eyes look at her intensely.

She wants to speak, she wants to tell him that Hong-Ling is after the blood from his heart. She wants to tell him to run away.....

But, she is also well aware that he will not leave her behind.

Hong-Ling takes out a blade and presses it against her neck.

"The great sage Son Oh Gong, I heard that you are the guardian of the current Samjang."

"What do you want?" He stands still. Negotiation? This is something he's good at.

But tonight, he's not going to take any risks because she's here.

She can feel a stinging pain in her neck. Something was forcefully extracted from her body.

Suddenly, she feels dizzy and her body writhes in pains.

His look becomes dangerous and threatening.

"I took out one of her minor soul." Hong-Ling's voice is hoarse. She places the soul in her palm.

"Now, I will ask her to place the GGG on the great sage Son Oh Gong's hand."

Hong-Ling takes out an item and puts it into her hand.

Seon Mi's mind is in a haze. Her body is out of control. She takes the GG and walks towards him.

He stands still. He knows that if he tries anything, Hong-Ling will immediately crush her soul.

She, finally stands in front of him.

She's not in control of her body but she still has some sense of consciousness.

Her eyes are full of tears because of the dream, and also because of him.

She doesn't want him to be in danger because she's been controlled by other people.

Hong-Ling wants to kill him, but because he's too strong, and that's why Hong-Ling took her here.......

He saw her biting her lips, so hard to the point where it starts to bleed. He took out his hand and wipes the blood away for her. Her tears streamed down uncontrollably but cannot speak a word.

She cannot disobey Hong-Ling's order. He gently caresses her eyes as usual. He extends his hand as if to comfort her, he holds her hand and puts the GGG on his wrist.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine soon." He says to her soothingly.

Her pupil is dilated, her body feels like it's been bitten by snakes after her soul was extracted.

He looks at the bracelet on his wrist, laughs at it mockingly.

This is not just Samjang's fate, this is also his fate.

Even if she's no longer Samjang, he's still her guardian.

Maybe, this priestess doesn't fully understand the proper way to use the GGG.

"I'v put on the GGG, shouldn't you release her now?" He says nonchalantly.

"The great sage sure is brave. Should we test how well the GGG works?"

Hong-Ling lifts her bony arm, summoning Seon Mi back to her.

Seon Mi can hear herself say to him:

"Well, how about give your arrogant self some punishment?"

He is drenched in blood, just like Cang-Wu back in the day.

Her eyes are filled with tears, harsh words spill from her own mouth uncontrollably.

He is such a prideful and dignified person. She has never seen him kneeling infront of others.

She's held hostage by Hong-Ling. If he resists, Hong-Ling will dig her sharp nails deep into her neck.

Hong-Ling is delighted by the sight she sees infront of her, laughs loud in pleasure.

"I can't believe that after putting on the GGG, the dignified great sage Son Oh Gong will be obedient as a dog." Hong-Ling says with sarcasm.

A hint of red flashes through his eyes.

So what?

"Well, I guess it's time." Hong-Ling puts the blade in her hands.

"Go on now, stab it into his heart.......if you can't do it, I can help you speak those words and make him do it himself and spare you from the pain."

Her lip tightens, more tears streaming down her face.

She takes the blade with shaky hands. This blade....will pierce his heart to obtain his blood.

How did things end up like this? Why ??!!

She's always clumsy but he's extremely tolerant of her. He never gets angry. When he's serious, he is really is serious. He's something who she can entrust and rely on.

He's strong but he's held back because of her weakness. She doesn't want him here. She thought, although she's weak, she can still protect him.

She was alone but he too was alone. Imprisoned by himself in the marble mountain for 500 years.

Everyone knows him as the powerful, unstoppable great sage Son Oh Gong. But only her, Jin Seon Mi knows his loneliness, sadness, and weakness..........

He has a peculiar temper, but, underneath lies his most sincere heart.

He's her most beloved......

Even someone as weak as her is willing to use every drop of her power to protect him.

Jin Seon Mi knows that they are different from all the previous Samjangs and guardians.

Because.....their love overcame the rules and they started a new life.

With tears in her eyes, she endures the excruciating pain in her heart and stabs the blade into Hong-Ling's body.

The blade emits a blue light. She rams into Hong-Ling's body sending them both to the ground. At the same moment, he leaps forward, he takes Seon Mi's soul from Hong-Ling.

Hong-Ling roars in anger. Son Oh Gong strikes at Hong-Ling with his weapon killing her in an instance.

Instantly, lightning strikes from the sky, lighting Hong-Ling's body up in fire. Hong-Ling's body twists in agony until she's incinerated by the hellfire.

"Jin Seon Mi, Jin Seon Mi!"

He looks down at her anxiously.

She lies in his arms, a line of blood drips from her pursed lips.

Her face is covered in sweat and tears........She resisted Hong-Ling's power....so she wouldn't hurt him.

"Did I.........Do....... A good job........?"

Her sentences are broken. Her breathing is weak, and her body is exhausted.

His eyes start to sting.

This idiot, she doesn't think about herself and just rushes ahead.

He ruffles her damp hair.

Oh no......his heart is aching again.

"You did well......"

He takes off his jacket and put it around her.

"We are going home now. Sleep for a while alright?"
