Chapter 29: Jung Youngho (2)

After we exited the room, I began thinking about what I wanted to do about Jung Youngho.

"Well, as you think about it for a while, I'm leaving." Mrs. Wang informed me and then began to walk away.

"Going where?" I quickly asked.

"I need to check up on Gravy and the others. It's going to be hard to keep all these stations under control now that you've become a 'king'." Mrs. Wang replied, her back still turned toward me.

"Oh." Mrs. Wang stopped mid-step and looked back, "Right, you're 'Not a King'."

After giving me a smile, Mrs. Wang resumed walking and left me to watch her leave.

I turned back to the break room housing Jung Youngho, and then to Mrs. Wang's back rounding a corner.

Sighing, I groaned and pushed my growing hair back.

Well, the first order of things was to change my clothes and wash my hair, at least.

But even while I was doing that, there was no privacy from the spying constellations, especially from the Great King Heoncheon Hongdo Gyungmum.

Even if I changed behind a stall, that wasn't going to stop the lecherous constellation, but even if I was uncomfortable with it, I would rather endure that than stay in these ragged clothes.

Besides, he wasn't interested in me in the least. Why? Well,

[Great King Heoncheon Hongdo Gyungmum comments that you are a skinny monkey, extremely unappealing.]

[Great King Heoncheon Hongdo Gyungmum says you shouldn't bother washing your hair, because it's still a bird's coop, smelly and messy.]

[Great King Heoncheon Hongdo Gyungmum sneers and then says even animals would be repulsed by your reflection.]

[Great King Heoncheon Hongdo Gyungmum...]

Was that constellation's personality like this? He was hopping up and down, piping mad that his incarnation was reduced to this state so he could no longer synchronize with them and reincarnate into the scenario, but he couldn't do anything due to the scenario restrictions.

I looked at the ceiling and spoke.

"There is a story I once heard about Zhuangzi who wanted to get back at his monk friend. Dressed in his best robes, he went over and told his monk friend that his, the monk's, robe resembled the colour of crap, and that his friend looked the same as crap. Zhuangzi laughed about it and asked his friend how he, Zhuangzi, looked, and the monk friend said Zhuangzi looked like Buddha. Thinking he won, Zhuangzi went home happily, but his sister told him the truth of his monk friend's words. In Buddha's eyes, everything is like Buddha, for he is buddha. But if you think everything looks like crap, then what does that make you inside?"

[Great King Heoncheon Hongdo Gyungmum is telling you to stop beating around the bush.]

I laughed, "You don't need to know if you don't understand."

It's not like you can do anything to me anyway.

As a constellation that was sorely hated by the other Korean Peninsula constellations, he was a constellation who didn't have any backing.

In a way, he was a poor constellation, especially since after he was overthrown, people tried to erase his name. This constellation did not receive a temple name, which monarchs should receive to be honored after death by their descendants.

I don't think anyone would've paid respect to your tomb during Qingming day?
