Chapter: 438

Bu Churyong was surprised by her identity and her beauty. Mun Ku’s beauty was enough to be appointed as the new top three beautiful women in all of Yulin. If this wasn’t a place to have Chun Mukeum marry, it tempted him to take her as his concubine.

‘It’s tempting but...’

But he wasn’t a fool to follow his temptation. He was an elder, and he knew what to prioritize.

‘Having a skin mask doesn’t change the fact that she’s a granddaughter of Elder Mun.’

Bu Churyong did not know what Chun Mukeum did in the past at the academy, so he continued.

“I didn’t think such beautiful woman would hide her face under a mask! I guess I would have my granddaughter do the same if she was as beautiful as you! Hahaha!”

Bu Churyong laughed to ease the atmosphere. Ja Kinkeng also complimented Mun Ku’s beauty and spoke.

“Our Prince Chun is a lucky man to marry such beautiful woman!”

“U-uncle!”

Chun Mukeum became embarrassed. Ja Kikeng did not know Mukeum’s thought so he asked Mun Ku with a smile, “Well, since you have heard about what was going on, it is better you tell us your decision. Will you accept Prince Chun’s proposal?”

Mun Ku then smiled and turned to Chun Mukeum.

“Well, looking at Prince Chun Mukeum reminds me of what he told me back in the Academy.”

“Oh! So, you two knew each other? That’s good then!”

Ja Kinkeng brightened up, thinking something was going to work well, but his excitement was shattered by Mun Ku’s next words.

“Prince Chun Mukeum once told me that he will erase the name of the Demon Dragon clan from the face of the cult if he becomes the Crown Prince. Well, fortunately he isn’t the Crown Prince so our clan is safe. Whew.”

“Wha-?!”

Ja Kinkeng’s face turned grim.

‘Ah...’

Chun Mukeum became grim and looked down. He didn’t imagine the thoughtless words that he blurted out would come around to take him down. Mun Yun’s face scowled instantly.

“Erase my clan, you said?”

“N-no, I meant...”

Even if Chun Mukeum was from the Loyal clan, one of the six clans, this was too much of a threat. Even if it was the Loyal clan, it required heavy casualties if they were to fight the Demon Dragon clan.

[What have you done?!]

Ja Kinkeng spoke to Chun Mukeum through telepathic message. There was nothing to say to that. Ja Kinkeng then decided he had to take care of what had already happened and tried to explain to Mun Yun.

“Elder Mun! I think our prince made a mistake in the past... he was young so...”

“Mistake? Do you think that is enough explanation for such a threat?”

It seemed like the 8th Elder wasn’t going to let this go easily. He wasn’t a type to lose his temper, but he became furious after hearing that his beloved granddaughter was threatened with the Demon Dragon clan as a hostage.

“...Elder Mun, will you really try to fight us?”

“If you want to ‘erase our name’ I guess I am left with no choice.”

“HAH!”
