The Steward was surprised several times.
I wore an awkward smile. I’m sorry to keep surprising the old gentleman, but the situation is urgent.
“Anyway, there will still be housework like meals, laundry, and cleaning. I’ll take care of everything. It will be good for you, sir, if a peer helps you out.”
“That is…….”
A complex emotion crossed the Steward’s face. He must have had several thoughts.
Danmokbi had no dedicated servant all this while. Why was that?
There was only one answer. He was a man destined to die anyway.
‘But Danmokbi, who should have died yesterday, survived. Danmokchang, who needed to use the power of the White Tiger, did not gain the power.’
The White Tiger was now catching butterflies in the front yard of Danmokbi’s annex.
‘So he must have felt the need to take good care of him for a while.’
It was virtually a settled matter. The hesitant Steward asked me in a somewhat softened tone.
“……Can you really take care of him sincerely?”
“Trust me!”
I nodded my head confidently.
[This is the time separator]So Danmokbi’s annex became a space shared only by me, Danmokbi, and the White Tiger.
‘I secured a private space.’
The only thing left was to break the piggy bank. I spoke confidently to the White Tiger.
“It will be there somewhere. Try to sharpen your sense of smell and find it.”
…You, isn’t your treatment of a divine beast a bit too much?
The first piggy bank I decided to break was the ginseng growing in Danmoksa’s front yard.
It looked like a peony with its stem and flower, so it was not discovered for a long time.
‘Danmokchang found out that the flower smelled good, but he didn’t find out it wasn’t a peony.’
Peonies are scentless flowers!
The problem is that it is now summer, and the peonies bloomed two months ago.
‘How do you smell a flower that’s not there?’
So I found the right person for this job.
It was the White Tiger!
“With the White Tiger’s keen sense of smell, you can find it right away. You’re completely different from inferior and lowly humans like me.”
Hmm, I am indeed great. But why are you so selfdeprecating…
“It’s not selfdeprecation, it’s just telling the truth!”
I cheered on the White Tiger enthusiastically. The White Tiger, pleased, lightly walked around the garden smelling.
About a full day’s walk later!
Here it is.
“Wow!”
The White Tiger pointed to a single stem among many peony bunches with its front paw. I carefully dug it up with a prepared shovel, careful not to miss even a root.
‘Hehehe, this is the ginseng that will increase Danmokbi’s inner power by a whole gapja!’
I continued to receive a lot of help from the White Tiger afterward.
It’s only natural. I only wrote about it, never having taken a spirit medicine myself!
Trimming the ginseng and soaking it in honey, the White Tiger shook its head by my side.
I’ve lived a long time, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone trying to chew ginseng whole.
I thought it could just be eaten raw, like ginseng.
“Hehehe, I’m really glad the White Tiger is here.”
I hugged the cute tiger that was also a great help.
“White Tiger, can’t you stay with me for a long time instead of going back to the mountains? I’ll brush your fur three times a day.”
That’s something you enjoy doing, isn’t it!
“But the White Tiger’s fur is so soft.”
Hmm, not bad for a human to appreciate it.
The White Tiger continued to grumble, but remained quietly nestled in my arms.
‘He likes it, even though he’s complaining.’
Anyway, thanks to the White Tiger’s help, I was able to easily dig up the ginseng and make it into a syrup.
“Danmokbi will probably be able to eat this nicely.”
The problem is not only consuming it but also converting its contents into one’s own inner power.
“I don’t know anything about the mind method.”
How on earth can I circulate my internal power? To be honest, I don’t even know where my elixir field is.
Hearing my complaint, the white tiger readily nodded.
I’ll help you with that too.
“Wow, White Tiger sir.”
Are you a generous tree? The White Tiger is the male protagonist!
“I’ll trim your beard every day, and massage your face too!”
Stop it. Do you think I’m a pet!?
Honestly speaking, a medium between a dog and a cat.
I filled a flask with the finished ginseng wine and hummed a tune as I headed toward the inner room where Danmokbi was. The White Tiger followed me, occasionally stepping, and asked.
Yeona, but why are you so nice to that human? That fellow, what’s so pretty?
“I have committed a sin, so that’s why.”
And objectively speaking, he’s quite pretty. The way he chases after me like a chick following a hen is cute. As I chuckled, the White Tiger shook his head back and forth and said.
That fellow doesn’t have a good face. I worry that you’re giving him too much strength for nothing.
‘Ah, that reminds me.’
Thanks to the White Tiger’s words, I remembered the original work I had forgotten.
Danmokbi is the ultimate villain no matter what.
