Chapter 66
In front of the lodging, Baekyak, drenched in rain, held the assassin’s cloak over her head and gazed up at Danwooseong.
Rainwater streamed down Baekyak’s cheeks, and her hair was soaked. Few men could see such beauty without their hearts racing. The two stared at each other blankly before awkwardly embracing once, as if to say “good work.”
To be precise, Baekyak had first dropped the clothes she was holding onto the floor before embracing him, and Danwooseong accepted it without batting an eye. As someone descended the stairs inside the lodging, producing a creaking sound of wood rubbing against wood, the two hurriedly pulled apart.
Dan Wooseong spoke in a stiff tone.
“Miss Baek, you’ve worked hard. Go inside now.”
Baekyak replied.
“Yes, by the way, you have many enemies.”
The two conversed as if reading a book. Baekran, descending the stairs, frowned and watched them intently.
‘What’s with this vibe? Huh…? Who do they think they’re fooling?’
Danwooseong nodded.
“That seems to be the case. Come inside.”
Danwooseong suddenly thought it would be nice to kidnap Baekyak and take her somewhere. Then he also thought maybe he hadn’t been slapped by Baekmujin in his dream for no reason.
Baek Yak, as if anticipating something, said rather out of the blue:
“Even if the demon path appears in the future, I won’t be a burden to you.”
Danwooseong replied, his eyes flickering slightly.
“Of course…”
