Halmae Gwishin

Fei~ah, do you think we can trust that fake Yuram?"

Lee Gon walked over to Ling Fei who was gazing at the sacred waterfall valley with his sharp eyes, and with his hands curled behind his body.

"He is still Yuram after all, Gon~ah. Our brother and the reincarnation of Yuram in the future. I don't understand the purpose of him coming to our world and eliminating Yuram's soul in the present. But, I think there is something the universe wants to show us. Moreover, this has something to do with haneunim uju."

Ling Fei did feel that there was something strange about the future Yuram coming to the present. In her opinion, this was indeed related to Bai Lu's tattoos. Moreover, before Yuwam's soul disappeared, they had a special mission to recover the sacred red stone lost 1000 years ago, which was being hunted by the gumiho.

"As Yuram said before the incident he was unconscious for 3 days. Han Ling Gon's book did have a few pieces missing. And according to him, it is an important thing. We must keep looking for the missing sheets, Fei~ah."

This time Lee Gon looked very excited to look for the missing sheets of Han Ling Gon's book. It was different from the previous days. He always seemed lazy and not so eager to look for Han Ling Gon's lost scrolls.

"Sttt!!!" Ling Fei put his forefinger near his mouth, signaling Lee Gon to be quiet and not make a sound.

"What's wrong, Ling Fei?" Lee Gon half-whispered and followed where Ling Fei's eyes were looking.

"Halmae Gwishin is here," he said, this time getting ready to take out his light saber.

"Great, it turns out that you can also figure out my whereabouts quickly!"

Halmae Gwishin or what can be called an old granny ghost is one of the spirits who likes to approach humans or other fellow ghosts by saying that she can predict the future by licking their hands with her tongue. The old granny ghost suddenly came to Lee Gon and Ling Fei, followed by a white mist that enveloped her.

"What are you here for?" Ling Fei stared at the old granny ghost with her eagle eyes.

"Hand Yeongwan over to me right now!" The old granny ghost stared at Ling Fei vengefully, with such burning anger.

"Never!" Ling Fei solidified his decision making the halmae gwishin even more enraged.

"Bitch!!!"

The Halmae Gwishin, burning with rage, immediately attacked Ling Fei by running fast like a tiger. He attempted to scratch Ling Fei's head but his attempt failed as Ling Fei managed to move away from his attack.

His failure made the halmae gwishin climb a tree so fast that it jumped on Ling Fei's head and tried to strangle him. Seeing this, Lee Gon immediately ran towards the ghost of the old granny by pulling the collar of her clothes, then threw her far away.

"Fei~ah, are you okay?" asked Lee Gon looking worried.

"She's about to choke me." Ling Fei held his neck as he coughed several times, due to the deadly strangulation of the old granny ghost.

"Hand Yeongwan over to me right now!!!" shouted the old hag ghost who started to attack Lee Gon and Ling Fei again.

Just as it was about to pounce on Lee Gon and Ling Fei, a sudden flash of crescent moonlight illuminated them all, dazzling the eyes of anyone who saw it.

"What is it?" shouted Lee Gon with narrowed eyes as the light was truly so bright and dazzling to his eyes.

"Han Yuram!?" exclaimed Ling Fei as he saw Han Yuram flying in the sky while holding his Hayeongsan sword.

"He's back?" Lee Gon looked incredulous at what he had just seen.

Han Yuram flew straight at Halmae Gwishin and drove his Hayeongsan sword into Halmae Gwishin's heart, turning Halmae Gwishin into ash in just a few seconds.

"You're back, Yuram?" asked Lee Gon upon seeing Han Yuram defeat the halmae gwishin with a single strike.

"I don't know and don't understand. All of a sudden, the energy I felt in my body was very strong, as soon as I finished reading the Han Ling Gon scriptures you gave me. It felt like my body was on fire. And, all of a sudden I felt my strength increase, and my radar told me that you were in danger," she explained and felt that something strange had happened to her.

"Are you still Bai Lu and not Han Yuram?" asked Lee Gon again upon hearing Yuram's answer.

Bai Lu nodded his head. As soon as he finished killing the halmae gwishin, Han Yuram's Hayeongsan sword disappeared from his hand.

"How can you remain Bai Lu, while you can hold Hayeongsan's sword and summon his sword? This is very strange!" Lee Gon furrowed his brow in confusion.

"What's your decision, Bai Lu? Are you going to accept your fate as Han Yuram here and return to our duty to search for the sacred red stone? Or is it the other way around?" asked Ling Fei who this time looked at Bai Lu's face so closely and ignored Lee Gon's question.

"I don't know. But, I will accept my fate, and from today I will live as Han Yuram. I will also find out the reason why I was able to travel through time and return to the Joseon Dynasty in the past. I will also find out more about my true self."

Bai Lu had made up her mind. And, this time she seemed to be serious about her decision. Because that way, starting from the future, he will become Han Yuram even with the soul of Choi Bai Lu in 2023.

Because to return to being Choi Bai Lu in 2023, he will not be able to go through with it. Because he himself also cannot and does not know how he can return to his time. And, he might not be able to return yet, because he has to fulfill his duties in the past that are pending.

"Good. Starting today, you will become Han Yuram. And, you will go on a dangerous mission with the two of us to search for the sacred red stone, and exterminate the gumiho who seek to take what is not rightfully theirs."

Ling Fei and Han Yuram exchanged glances. Meanwhile, Lee Gon smiled with satisfaction at the decision Bai Lu made this time. From so far away, there was a figure of a strong-energy Gumiho staring at Ling Fei, Bai Lu and Lee Gon with its demonic eyes.
