Novel Bin Chapter 234
Kang Chul-In’s gaze scanned the thick forest and ground 50 meters away from him .
Let’s take a look .
He activated the Oraclomind to amplify his brain power .
The trembling ground .
The swaying of leaves .
The scent .
The flow of wind .
All kinds of information diffused into Kang Chul-In’s brain, allowing him to visualize the camouflaged enemies . This was the power of Oraclomind, which maximized its user’s five senses .
It’s not just one or two enemies . . .
Kang Chul-In let out a grin .
In fact, about a hundred of them were in stealth mode .
One could only assume that they had planned meticulously to kill him .
“Ah!”
At this moment, Ninetails suddenly exclaimed .
“Husband! These people are not enemies!”
“Not enemies?”
“They are my subordinates!”
“ . . . ?”
“They are members of the Fox Valley Intelligence Agency . ”
Ninetails shouted over to where Kang Chul-In’s gaze rested on .
“The Queen of the Fox Valley commands you:”
A firm voice .
A stark contrast to her tone with Kang Chul-In .
It had a charismatic tone of a queen, indeed .
“Show yourselves!”
Immediately, those ‘enemies’ revealed themselves .
Crack, crack!
The ground split into half .
Swish, swish!
The leaves swayed .
And,
“Your humble servant… Aluko… greets… her Majesty . . . ”
A demi-human with an owl head bowed in front of Ninetails .
“Yes, thank you for all your effort . Greet my husband, too . ”
“Y-Your… Majesty . . . ”
Aluko didn’t look too well .
“Did I… surprise you… your Majesty… Kang Chul-In . . . ”
“ . . . ”
“You don’t… have to… worry… we are… her Majesty’s… bodyguards . . . ”
Aluko’s voice trailed off and his eyes were half-closed, almost as if he were about to fall asleep .
“…Is he sleepy or something?”
Kang Chul-In mumbled to himself in absurdity .
“You are right, dear husband . ”
“ . . . ?”
“An owl-human is nocturnal, so he tends to doze off during the day . However, he is more agile than any other being at night . ”
“I-I see . . . ”
In fact, the 49 owl-humans that appeared with Aluko were dozing off as well . Some of them were even drooling .
“Take a rest, Aluko . ”
At that moment, a demi-human with a rat-head appeared in front of Ninetails .
“Schröder, your humble servant, greets her Majesty! And also his Majesty, Kang Chul-In!”
He greeted both sovereigns in sequence .
Behind him, 49 rat-humans were lined up .
“I apologize for not telling you in advance, as this bodyguarding mission was to be done in secret . ”
“I see . ”
Kang Chul-In withdrew his Kaiforce and nodded .
“Keep up the good work . ”
“Not at all! For her and his Majesties’ safety, this is nothing!”
Schröder was a staunch man indeed .
“The rat-humans are experts at burrowing . Thanks to that, they rarely get detected by the enemy radar . If it wasn’t for you husband, nobody would have noticed . ”
Ninetails explained .
“Oh-hoh . ”
Kang Chul-In nodded his head and gave a satisfied expression .
Rat-humans that were capable of burrowing .
Owl-humans that were agile at night .
They couldn’t have asked for better bodyguards in these foreign terrains .
“You flatter us!”
Schröder shouted loudly .
“Not at all . ”
Kang Chul-In shook his head .
“I didn’t notice your presence for the past few days, as well . Amazing stealth abilities you have . ”
“Thank you for your compliment!”
“We’ll leave it to you, then . Don’t worry about me, focus your manpower on protecting Ninetails instead . ”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Well then, you may continue with your task . ”
“Aye!”
The members of the Fox Valley Intelligence Agency returned to stealth mode .
“Fantastic talents . ”
Kang Chul-In turned around to face Ninetails .
“Right? They will all become your loyal subjects, too!”
“Is that so?”
“My body and soul, and all my possessions belong to you!”
“Hmm . . . ”
“You don’t have to feel burdened by that . They say God joins a husband and wife together!”
Ninetails smiled as she spoke .
“R-Right . ”
Her everlasting devotion for Kang Chul-In moved him a little .
And,
You are a good woman, Ninetails .
He began to develop feelings towards the queen .
Was it just because she was like the Giving Tree?
…No way!
Ninetails not only displayed traits of a good wife, but she also revealed the innocence of a young girl .
In addition, she was sometimes a femme fatale, who even had the cold-hearted Kang Chul-In on her fingertips .
Last but not least, they were fiancées . It was natural for them to gradually develop feelings for each other .
Pzzt!
At that instant, the Needle of the Empress detected Kang Chul-In’s feelings and emitted a strong volt of electricity .
Keuk!
He could barely hold his groan back .
Damn it!
He really had to unlock the penalty option soon .
***
A few days later, in the afternoon, Kang Chul-In and Ninetails infiltrated deep into the Baldur region and would reach Cyamodus soon afterwards .
Soon, Cyamodus came into their sight .
“Pardon this brief inspection . ”
The guards at the west gate of Cyamodus stopped Kang Chul-In and Ninetails .
“Who are you and where are you from?”
“We are Smith and Helena from one of the free cities . We happened to pass by during our honeymoon trip across the continent . ”
“Your ID?”
“Here you go . ”
Kang Chul-In was a proficient liar . He handed over a fake ID to the guard .
“Hmm . . . ”
The guard inspected the ID for quite some time but,
“You may enter . ”
He fell for the trick in the end .
“Please get your visa from the immigration office by today evening, elsewise you will be deported for espionage . ”
“Certainly, will do . Thank you . ”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
Fortunately, the two of them could pass through the gate without any friction with the guards .
“Hold on!”
At that instant .
“Hey, was your name Smith?”
An officer of the west gate garrison narrowed his eyes in suspicion .
“What’s the problem?”
Kang Chul-In replied casually .
“You look familiar . . . ”
“How can that be? I am . . . ”
“No, I’m positive . ”
The officer dug through his pockets and whipped out a paper scroll .
Damn it .
Kang Chul-In’s face twitched . What was drawn on the paper scroll was none other than his own face .
“Hmm…without this moustache, you look almost identical to Kang Chul-In . ”
The officer’s voice carried a hint of skepticism .
Damn it, if only I had an item for disguise .
Kang Chul-In was flustered inwardly .
He carried many items, but none of them let him hide his identity . Wearing a mask would only stir more suspicion .
“Oh-ho, Mr . Officer! Are you telling me that my dear husband looks like that evil and cruel Overlord?”
Ninetails smiled and distracted the Officer .
And,
‘Mesmerize’!
Ninetails’ eyes flashed with a pink beam of light .
“Really? My handsome officer?”
“T-That’s not…!”
“I’m disappointed . . . ”
Ninetails dropped her head .
“N-No, not at all! Mrs . Helena, that is not true!”
Suddenly, the officer’s attitude changed 180 degrees .
“Righttttt?”
“Of course!”
Not everyone agreed with the officer, however .
“Major Wilson! That man’s moustache is still very suspicious!”
“That’s right! We should inspect him further…!”
“What if that man is really the cruel Overlord Kang Chul-In!”
The remaining soldiers persuaded their superior to review his decision .
“Oh-ho, my dears?”
However, Ninetails easily mesmerized them all .
“Do you really think so? Heung . . . ”
Ninetails’ voice had a hint of mana of seduction .
“W-We must have been mistaken . . . ”
“Please feel free to enter!”
“I love you . . . ”
Over twenty soldiers were seduced by Ninetails, becoming mindless idiots .
“Husband, did I do well?”
Ninetails smiled brightly .
“That was excellent . ”
Kang Chul-In nodded and praised her .
***
After that brief crisis, Kang Chul-In and Ninetails continued heading towards the heart of Rothschild’s territory .
A day passed .
“Groom Smith, do you solemnly swear to love bride Helena for eternity?”
Kang Chul-In and Ninetails held a humble wedding in the temple of Kestos, the goddess of love, located in the outskirts of the city . Considering their status, it was really an unpretentious wedding .
“I do . ”
Kang Chul-In replied .
Marriage system activated!
Do you accept Ninetails as your wife? (Yes/No)
Yes!
The system notification popped up .
“Bride Helena, do you solemnly swear to love groom Smith for eternity?”
“Certainly!”
Ninetails replied .
“Now, you may kiss the bride!”
The priest, who was notorious for his greed, instructed Kang Chul-In and Ninetails to kiss .
“Here I go . ”
“Huh? Heub…!”
Ninetails gasped as Kang Chul-In advanced towards her without warning .
H-Husband…! H-Heung…!
Ninetails could hardly contain herself during her first ever kiss . It was extremely sweet and delightful .
“Heung . . . ”
Ninetails moaned throughout the kiss .
H-Husband… you are too good at this!
It was because Kang Chul-In’s kissing technique was fantastic!
T-These two!
The priest stood there in shock as he witnessed the passionate kiss between the couple .
H-How are they even kissing like that…!?
He had never seen anything like that before .
After some time, the kiss finally ended .
“D-Don’t look at me!”
Ninetails whined cutely and covered her blushing face .
Pfft!
Kang Chul-In smiled .
He could still remember how she was about to pounce on him during their first encounter . Now, she was just a girl who puffed up her cheeks in embarrassment .
Marriage established!
Ninetails is registered as your spouse!
The status notification finally announced their successful marriage .
God damn it!
Kang Chul-In’s face stiffened suddenly .
The notification… was a bit disturbing .
[Spouses]
Wife 1: (Locked!)
Wife 2: Ninetails
Wife 3: Empty
Concubine 1: Empty / Concubine 2: Empty
Concubine 3: Empty / Concubine 4: Empty
Concubine 5: Empty / Concubine 6: Empty
Concubine 7: Empty
What is this nonsense…!
It was a humble wedding indeed, but it was his first one nonetheless . But now the system was saying that she was his second wife? Kang Chul-In could hardly comprehend this bullshit .
Pzzt, pzztt!
At that instant, the Needle of the Empress emitted a strong volt of electricity .
Flash!
It sparked violently .
-Warning, warning!
-Penalty option activating!
The catastrophe was finally about to begin!
