[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 111

《Tiny Little Child》

“Ugh.”

My head is ringing, and my stomach is churning.

It feels like my head is about to split open.

《Saripul seals himself》

《Lowers his divine status》

《The child who chooses the path of hardship》

“Ughhh. I’m dying…”

《Saripul tightens his own restraints》

《Lowers his divine rank》

《Lowers his divine status》

《Lowers his divine status》

《Lowers his divine status》

…

…

…

《The Buddha has seen the Heavenly Path》

《Do not be arrogant》

“The Heavenly Path was not arrogant despite its advantages.”

《Do not be servile》

“The Heavenly Path was not servile despite its disadvantages.”

I don’t even understand what’s being said.

I can’t tell if I’m hearing it with my ears or if it’s being hammered into my head.

《Do not be weak and cowardly》

“The Heavenly Path was not cowardly despite its hardships.”

《Do not be strong and arrogant》

“The Heavenly Path was not arrogant despite its strength.”

─Deeeeeng!!

A bell rings in my head.

A huge bell sound, loud enough to drive me insane, is tearing through my mind.

《At times, be as fearful as a deer》

“The Heavenly Path embraced those who feared the world.”

The homeless person I met on my first day at my sister’s clothing store.

It felt like I was looking at my future self, and I handed over all my day’s wages.

It wasn’t out of kindness.

Every time I hear words filled with wisdom, the scenes change rapidly.

Jia and Jiu are happily eating meat.

《At times, be as fierce and wild as a tiger》

“The Heavenly Path protected the weak with its ferocity.”

I’m saving Lily.

I’m holding the sobbing Lily.

《A fiery temper is not always bad》

“The Heavenly Path must control its explosive anger well.”

The rapidly flowing memories are now getting closer to my current life.

《All things live in symbiosis》

《The Heavenly Path wisely maintains balance》

《The Heavenly Path walks the middle path with wisdom》

“Pfft. Still, I lived well, didn’t I?”

《Saripul smiles with compassion》

Ding!!

《The infinitely wise Saripul prepares a hand seal》

《The infinitely wise Saripul assumes the lotus position》

《Saripul forms the demon-subduing mudra》

Ding!

[The insight to understand abilities aligns with Mana]

《Saripul releases a part of his sealed knowledge》

《Saripul regains the teachings of the Medicine Buddha》

《Saripul forms the medicine mudra》

Ding!

[A lotus bud blooms in the left eye]

A warm, fragrant feeling envelops my entire body.

I couldn’t see the forest because my face was pressed against the rough bark.

Now I can see.

He’s smiling compassionately.

Is this what you call experience?

Everyone stumbles at least once in life, and everyone goes downhill at some point.

Seeing him point out where he fell, I guess he didn’t want me to get hurt in the same place.

“Thank you.”

I don’t really know what I’m thankful for yet. I just feel grateful.

He strokes my head with a big hand, showing affection. Who wouldn’t like that?

I bow in thanks, and the sky rumbles.

“What’s that?”

─Grrrrrrrrr!

It sounds like a bizarre beast’s roar.

Dark clouds gather in the sky, and thunder rumbles.

It’s going crazy.

“The edge of the demon is trying to open one eye.”

“The Holy Demon Realm is collapsing!”

[The foundation of Cheondo is shaking.]

─Crash! Boom! Crash!

The ground struck by lightning flips over, and mud splatters everywhere.

“The ascetic strikes down with his divine staff.”

A lotus flower blooms from the exploded mud.

The sky turns red, then clears, repeating this as it flickers.

I think this might be what they call the end.

“The edge of the demon shouts that it has come to protect its daughter.”

“The ascetic tells it to stop talking nonsense and unleashes his divine staff.”

The beautiful Earth is about to be destroyed.

I just want to go home.

“If your fiery temper is bad, you almost got scolded by your master, right?”

“Saripul tightly closes both eyes.”

Now I can see a little. No, I’m starting to understand a bit.

Moving just one of the thousands of hands causes the ground to collapse, and trying to open one eye splits the sky.

Even that was weakened because it was thinking of me.

“Leaving the room master aside, they’re fighting fiercely.”

Every time the sky flickers, my insides burn.

“Hey, you’re supposed to be a dad, so stop fighting already.”

“*La¿pi#* is delighted by Cheondo’s words.”

“Mara ##¿*’s one eye is trying to manifest.”

“Destruction is rising.”

“The Holy Demon Realm is collapsing.”

“The world is about to be destroyed.”

“The ascetic panics and tells everyone to calm down.”

“This is a mess… Ugh!”

***

Something warm keeps pressing against my cheek.

When I come to my senses, I’m lying on my bed in my room.

Poke. Poke.

“Baekseol?”

“Master!”

Poke poke poke poke.

Baekseol, excited, keeps poking me like she’s got a motor.

“I’m awake. Are you hungry? Want food?”

“Are you okay?”

For some reason, Baekseol refuses food.

The white cotton ball is full of worry.

“Why am I here?”

I think I saw something strange last night and fainted, and after that, my memory is blank.

Seeing the sunlight streaming through the window, it seems a day has already passed.

Poke poke poke.

“Baekseol, I’m fine.”

Even with my enhanced body, my cheek hurts from how much Baekseol has been poking it.

Looking at Baekseol, who keeps pressing my cheek, her white fur is stained red.

My heart sinks.

“What! Are you hurt!?”

“Master’s blood.”

“My blood?”

Looking at my clothes, it’s a mess, as if I vomited blood.

“A big person carried you.”

“Hmm, Albert?”

“Yes.”

Baekseol weakly clings to me.

“Are you tired?”

“Yes.”

“Sorry for making you worry.”

Seeing that I’m okay, she must have lost her strength.

With her small body, she must have been exhausted after pressing on me all night.

“I’ll wash you. Wash up and sleep well.”

“Okay.”

Carrying Baekseol, who’s slumped like melted rice cake, I head to the bathroom.

Turning on the water, warm water pours out after a while.

At this point, she should be excited and making a fuss, but she’s just lying there.

“Thank you for protecting me.”

Shampooing Baekseol’s fur, bubbles form all over.

“Where did our Pposiraegi go?”

“Here!”

“Oh, you were here.”

Seeing her playfully sticking her face out from the bubbles, it seems she’s slowly recovering.

After finishing washing Baekseol and opening the bathroom door, a refreshing breeze greets us.

“Should I dry you? Or do you want to rub-rub?”

“Rub-rub!”

“Alright.”

I turn on the fan and lay out a towel in front of it.

Worried she might get hurt while running around weakly, I place her on the towel, and she starts rubbing her whole body.

“Rub-rub slowly.”

“Yes!”

*Ding!*

“Eat this while you’re at it.”

“Great!”

Baekseol, who was vigorously rubbing her back, tilts her head and wiggles her butt.

*Poof!*

My eyes instinctively close.

I wonder if Saripul felt this way.

After watching Baekseol thoroughly clean even her hind legs, I head into the room and turn on the computer.

*Beep!*

The startup sound plays, and the desktop appears shortly after.

[Lady Han Ga-eul has started broadcasting]

[⚔️Boss Han!!!!]

[Jingle!]

[HeaderNews has sponsored 10,000 won]

[Lady Han Ga-eul, we request an interview regarding the knife fight incident that occurred yesterday. Please contact us.]

“Handle it.”

[⚔️(･`◡´･)ゝ]

There was a time when I calmly settled the crowd that went wild after the ship party.

Judging by the speed at which the viewer count is rising, it’s even more serious than back then.

“I have no idea what they’re talking about.”

[⚔️LOL for real]

[⚔️What is she even saying?]

[⚔️Did that reporter take drugs?]

“Kids, I’ll explain everything you’re curious about later. Trust me, okay?”

[⚔️LOL of course we trust you]

Thanks to the viewers’ efforts, the chat that was turning into a battlefield quickly calmed down.

“Today’s content is studying while communicating.”

[⚔️What kind of content is that?]

[⚔️What is that?]

“It’s just talking while studying.”

[⚔️So it’s just a chat, huh?]

[⚔️What’s the topic?]

I pull out a book from the shelf.

“Kids, when you watch cartoons or play games, don’t wizards use shield magic?”

[⚔️Yeah, it feels empty if they don’t LOL]

[⚔️Why shields?]

“They always say it blocks or breaks strong attacks, but what if you sprayed poison on it?”

[⚔️Has the room master gone crazy? LOL]

“Do you think shields have air purifiers?”

[⚔️LOL probably not, right?]

[⚔️I think it could block it.]

“Do you really think a shield made by fantasy inhabitants would be dense enough to prevent toxic elements from seeping through?”

[⚔️But poison is hard to get, right?]

“Paracelsus said, ‘Everything is poison. There is nothing without poison.'”

[⚔️LOLOLOL]

[⚔️But isn’t it still hard to get?]

“He said only the dose determines if something is poison. It’s like shoving 5,000 tangerines into my kids’ mouths—they’d die.”

[⚔️Hmm, is that how it works? LOL]

[⚔️You’re crazy LOL]

*Flip.*

I turn the pages of the book filled with the researcher’s insights.

“Do you know what Mesomyl is?”

[⚔️Isn’t that a pesticide?]

“You know it well?”

[⚔️My dad farms, so I’ve heard of it.]

“Right, it’s a highly toxic pesticide. It’s colorless and odorless, so it was widely used as K-Invisible Poison, but it’s too dangerous, so they don’t sell it anymore.”

[⚔️K-Invisible Poison LOL]

As I flip through the book, I come across a section on environmental toxicity cases.

“This is it. Skin necrosis, multiple organ failure, cell death.”

[⚔️Damn, that’s brutal.]

[⚔️So what’s the chat topic?]

“Topic? How to annihilate fantasy inhabitants who use magic and cold weapons.”

[⚔️]

“The poison we need to save is a fungal toxin that can also be obtained from the red deer horn mushroom. It’s trichothecene.”

[⚔️No, seriously lol]

[⚔️The room master is losing their mind more and more each day lol]

“Ah, ah- Paracelsus-sensei. Father of poison. I’m going.”

*Hop.*

While chatting with the viewers, Baekseol jumped up onto my head.

“Our Pposiraegi, so fluffy, huh?”

“Yeah!”

[⚔️Baekha]

[⚔️Still cute today lol]

She wags her front paws toward the monitor, as if recognizing the viewers’ greetings.

“After a shower, if I lay out a towel, she rolls around on it. Guess she’s done now.”

[⚔️Lol so adorable]

While talking about Baekseol, I suddenly remembered the phone call I got yesterday.

“Ah, right. I got a call from Grandfather.”

[⚔️Who?]

“Chief Master Sergeant Cheon Ha-jin from the Third Command Headquarters.”

[⚔️The one who looks like a goblin?]

[Is that him?]

[⚔️The room master became friends with that sergeant when they visited the military before. Dude looks scary as hell.]

[⚔️So what did he say?]

“He asked me to come and sing. What should I sing?”

[⚔️A children’s song?]

[⚔️What kind of request is that?]

[⚔️Lol the room master rejected all entertainment agencies but is so eager to go to the military]

“Is it the same as where my kids are?”

No matter how much I think about it, I know too few songs.

At best, I only know children’s songs or the songs Lily recently taught me.

“I should go shopping for once.”

[⚔️You just went shopping yesterday]

“Let’s review first.”

I searched online, and the song I was looking for started playing right away.

『Mountain rabbit, rabbit, where are you going─♪』

As I started singing, Baekseol began dancing along.

[⚔️So cute lol]

[⚔️Yep, that’s our room master]

[⚔️The room master’s voice is always so damn good]

『Hop- hop, hop- hop, jumping along♪』

There’s a big problem with this song—it’s catastrophically short, heading toward the end just 5 seconds in.

“It’s too short.”

[⚔️Lololololololol]

[⚔️Hearing it again after so long is hilarious lol]

I placed Baekseol, who was fidgeting on my head, onto the desk and stood up.

“Guys, I’m gonna go smoke a cigarette. Play with Baekseol for me.”

As I was about to head outside, I glanced back and couldn’t tell who was playing with whom.

[⚔️She’s so cute]

[⚔️Our Baekseol is so cute]

Seeing them playing well, I grabbed my cigarettes and headed out to the rooftop yard, where a cloudless sky greeted me.

─Click, click.

“Phew─. Status window!”

*Ding!*
