[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 137

[⚔️Are you going tomorrow right away?]

“Yeah, gotta go right away.”

[⚔️Wow, tomorrow’s gonna be so fun]

[⚔️For real, I’m ordering chicken right now]

“What’s fun about a stamina test?”

[⚔️Then what are you doing today?]

“Today? Hmm… Should I start with my morning routine?”

『Please… Please…!』

When I turned on Radelly’s broadcast, she had an incredibly desperate look on her face.

“Let’s do it next time.”

[⚔️LOLOLOLOL]

[⚔️Did you get a mission or something?]

*Rustle. Rustle.*

While I was pondering what kind of broadcast to do today, Baekseol came rolling a toy.

“Baekseol, wanna go out and play?”

“Sure!”

Baekseol always stuck to me whenever we went outside.

She was so small that it was hard to let her roam alone, but honestly, there wasn’t much space in this concrete-filled city for Baekseol to run around.

The only place Baekseol could really have fun was the training ground, but even there, she probably didn’t get to play much because she had to adjust to me.

[⚔️Wow, she’s really smart]

[⚔️It’s cute how she likes it LOL]

“Let’s just wipe the sleep from our eyes and go out.”

“Okay!”

At the sound of going out, Baekseol flew into my arms, and I started walking.

As I descended the dark rooftop stairs, a sky full of beautiful patchy clouds greeted me.

“Hey guys, can you see well?”

[⚔️You look radiant today]

[⚔️So pretty LOL]

[⚔️Where’s the destination?]

Even in this concrete jungle, there’s one place filled with green, like a dandelion blooming in the cracks of the sidewalk.

“Let’s go to the mountain.”

[⚔️Coo coo]

*Ding!*

“Baekseol, if you’re gonna have fun, make sure to eat a lot.”

“Okay!”

When I lifted the flower I bought from the store above my head, Baekseol quickly grabbed it.

“Phew, the weather’s nice.”

It’s quiet, probably because everyone’s at work.

I always came out to the main road and took a car to the market, but walking in the opposite direction feels strangely unfamiliar.

“Is it tasty?”

“Yeah!”

Baekseol, who was eating on my head, came down to my shoulder.

The sound of Baekseol munching near my ear tickles me.

“Eat a lot. Let me know if it’s not enough.”

“It’s tasty!”

Seeing her wiggle her butt while eating, it seems Baekseol is also in a good mood from being outside.

[⚔️How does she eat standing on your shoulder?]

[⚔️LOL that’s so cool]

[⚔️So cute]

As I slowly moved forward, I could feel the surroundings gradually changing.

The gray hues were gradually replaced by green.

“Ta-da! Baekseol, this is the mountain.”

Baekseol must have smelled the strong scent of grass because her ears perked up.

If it’s a mountain with lots of grass like the training ground, Baekseol can have fun running around.

Following the winding path, except for the sparsely placed benches, there’s nothing but trees and grass.

“You can play.”

Baekseol, who had been perking her ears on my shoulder for a while, slowly descended to the grass.

[⚔️Baekseol is really small]

[⚔️Wow, the world’s gotten better, going to the mountain from the room]

[⚔️LOLOLOL]

Standing still and watching Baekseol puddle around the grass, at some point, she stopped moving.

As I slowly approached Baekseol, all I could see was the back of her head, seemingly focused on something.

“Baekseol, what are you doing?”

Hearing my voice, Baekseol turned her head.

“Got it.”

“Huh?”

Baekseol wiggled her front legs and stretched them out toward me.

“Bug.”

“Eek!”

[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

[⚔️I choked on my water LOLOLOL]

“Jiji, throw it away.”

When I shook off Baekseol’s front leg, the bug she was holding flew away like an arrow.

[⚔️So cute]

[Ding!]

[1-minute Cut donated 1,000 won]

[I’ve touched Baekseol before]

[⚔️LOL I’m off to prepare for moving, catch you later]

As I slowly walked along the mountain path, Baekseol followed, sniffing around here and there.

Maybe because my senses were heightened, the usually quiet forest felt lively.

A squirrel peeking out from behind a big tree, watching me.

A woodpecker glancing at me while pecking at a tree.

Thud!

Baekseol even kicked a bird that swooped down at her.

[⚔️She takes after her owner]

[⚔️Is Baekseol really a rabbit?]

Judging by her sharp beak and claws, she seems like a bird of prey.

All the animals that were usually hard to spot were now curiously watching because of little Baekseol.

“Baekseol, you okay?”

“I won!”

“Uh… good job.”

“Yep!”

[⚔️What did Baekseol say?]

“She said she won.”

[⚔️LOLOLOLOL]

[⚔️The translator Bangjang is adorable too]

In a place filled with earthy and green colors, a white dumpling-like creature was hopping around, impossible to miss.

Baekseol seemed to be having fun, so I sat on a nearby bench. She came over with a green grass blade in her mouth.

Not sure if the grass was big or Baekseol was small, but the grass seemed to move on its own.

“Gonna eat it?”

I held out my hand, and Baekseol placed the grass on my palm.

Ding!

──

[Bear’s Herb]

──

“It’s bear’s herb. You can eat it.”

I bought a bottle of water, washed the dirt off the herb, and it was clean in no time.

When I offered the herb to Baekseol, she tilted her head.

After taking a bite, she shook her head, probably because of the bitter taste.

“Haha, bitter?”

I poured the leftover water from washing the herb onto my palm, and she quickly lapped it up.

“Should’ve picked something tastier.”

Maybe tired of eating bitter stuff and playing the herb-picking game, she climbed onto my shoulder and kept rubbing against me.

“Let’s see.”

I went to where Baekseol had picked the grass and found a lot of spring herbs growing there.

Ding!

───

[Wild Chives]

───

“These are soft and should be tasty.”

───

[Soybean Paste 300g]

[Price: 5,400 won]

───

Back at the bench, I dipped the wild chives in soybean paste and ate them. The flavor was amazing.

“Tasty.”

[⚔️Where did that soybean paste come from?]

[⚔️LOLOLOLOL]

The bitter taste must still be lingering because Baekseol kept washing her face. When I offered her the wild chives, she shook her head.

“Don’t like it?”

“Nope!”

“But this is delicious.”

When I ate it, the fragrant spring aroma filled my mouth.

[⚔️Are you from the countryside? You seem to know this stuff well.]

“Not the countryside, just a rural kid.”

[⚔️Same difference]

“No, where are you from?”

[⚔️East of Buyeoseong]

[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]

After chatting with the viewers for a while, I belatedly realized that the fluffy ball next to me had disappeared.

“Baekseol?”

[⚔️????]

[⚔️Baekseol disappeared?]

[⚔️She’s smart, so she wouldn’t wander off too far]

“What, where did she go?”

She’s got good ears, so she should’ve heard my voice, but she hasn’t shown herself for a while.

Just as anxiety started creeping in…

A pile of dirt shifted, and Baekseol peeked her face out from it.

“Yes!”

“Ah! Baekseol… AHHH!”

[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

[⚔️Looks like she had fun playing LOLOLOL]

I don’t know how deep she dug into the cave, but the once pure white creature was now covered in dirt.

“Baekseol, let’s go home and wash up…”

“Excited!”

***

“Take this! Get roasted!”

*Clang!*

*Clang!*

The Golem instantly gets roasted.

“I’m hungry.”

“Let’s just catch and eat this one.”

“Yes!”

I threw the last bottle in my hand with all my strength, and it shattered against the Golem’s upper body.

*Squelch. Squelch.*

“No wonder something felt off.”

A red power core hidden inside its body glowed, contrasting with the pure white frost.

Last time, it was in the chest area, but this time, the red light was swirling around its shoulder.

No wonder the Golem, with its caved-in chest, was still moving so well.

**[Gale]**

*Bang!*

My body surged upward.

**[High Wind]**

A kick-off.

“Huup!”

I gathered strength into my fist.

*Ding!*

[Heavy Hit imbued in the strike]

**[Super Heavy Hit!]**

I strike!

─*KWAANG!!*

A massive explosion erupted.

The recoil sent me flying far from the Golem, and I landed as the giant body slowly toppled over.

*Thud!*

[+500,000 Won]

[EXP +25]

[Growth Rate: 75%]

By now, this combo feels familiar.

“Phew, that was tough.”

As I approached the Golem, Baekseol came down and started poking it playfully.

“Tasty.”

“Want to roast it?”

“Yes!”

*Ding!*

───

[1kg of Sesame Seeds]

Domestic fresh sesame seeds.

[Price: 38,000 Won]

───

I grabbed a handful of sesame seeds and handed them to Baekseol, who sprinkled them around with her tiny paws.

“All done?”

“Yes!”

She shook off the sesame powder from her paws and snuggled into me.

“Now that I think about it, we still have sesame seeds left in the storage space. What a waste of money.”

Baekseol wiggled excitedly at the thought of eating.

“Excited?”

“Excited!”

“Let’s finish this up and eat.”

“Yes!”

As I reached out to collect the loot, an inexplicable chill ran down my spine.

Right after the battle, my heightened senses were still on edge, carrying a sense of foreboding.

It’s coming.

Creepy.

[Gluttony devours the opponent.]

“Wait, hold on!”

Crash!

[+500,000 won]

[EXP +25]

Ding!

[Growth Rate: 100%]

[Promotion begins.]

It’s too late.

[Searching past karma.]

[Searching past deeds.]

Messages flash before my eyes so fast it feels like my eyeballs are spinning.

Ding!

The rapidly moving text gradually slows down.

[For the promotion…]

Just as something is about to be decided.

—Crash!!

“……”

A familiar scene.

—Rumble!!

The sky flips, and the Bodhi Tree and lotus flowers bloom extravagantly on the ground.

“Damn it, here we go again.”

Something comes to mind.

A feeling of something enormous, beyond comprehension, engulfing the world.

《The ascetic laments that the color of nothingness is too vivid.》

《The demon claims the Heavenly Peach is his successor.》

The plants blooming on the ground grow even denser.

《The ascetic demands the fulfillment of the contract.》

《The demon is displeased.》

Ding!

[The budding lotus begins to bloom.]

[The promotion test twists.]

《The ascetic says only pure strength can reach the essence.》

《The demon shakes his head.》

《The ascetic recites the Great King Mantra.》

《ભેય લસશ·····》

Ding!

[The test of the Benevolent King begins for promotion.]

Suddenly, the world flips, and darkness fills everything.

Turning my head to look at the sky, something enormous blocks the moonlight.

“……Damn it, Dad, save me!!”

《Mara Pashun tightly closes his eyes.》

The claw in front of me looks as big as a house.

《The Benevolent King gazes at the Heavenly Peach.》

Crack, crack, crack!

The sound of the neck moving is so loud it feels like my eardrums will burst.

Crack… crack… crack…

…

..

.

《How insignificant.》

Ding!

《The test of the Guardian Deity Vajra begins.》
