Chapter 922 – 922.Yggdrasil (7)
“Ah, you’re here. I was trying to find it…”
“Haha, since I am in a position to learn, of course I should come.”
“Come on in.”
Namgung Yuha smiled and led me into the room.
As soon as I entered the room, I carefully looked around the room.
It was exactly the same as the room I was staying in.
But there is one difference…
‘As expected, the smell is different.’
The smell was different from the room I was staying in.
‘I’m sure I keep myself clean, but the women’s room smells particularly nice.’
[Is it so? I like the smell of your room better.]
‘Haha…’
This is proven.
Just as men sense scents in women’s rooms, women also sense different scents in men’s rooms…
After I finished appreciating the room, I immediately asked Namgung Yuha.
“Have you eaten?”
On the surface, it might seem like just saying hello.
But my asking this question was by no means pretentious.
“I’m used to skipping meals frequently, so don’t worry too much.”
This was because I had been refused offers to eat at lunch and dinner earlier.
“If you feel uncomfortable eating together, please let me know. “I’ll get it.”
“Well, you don’t have to do that.”
“There’s no need to do it. It is the duty of a disciple to take care of the teacher’s meals. No, I’m sorry for not paying attention in the first place.”
“Well, it’s not like that…”
Her face blushed again when she heard her expression that Namgung Yuha was her teacher, and then she sighed and honestly confessed her feelings.
“I couldn’t sleep well because her thoughts were complicated. As a result, I lost my appetite.”
“Thoughts?”
“Yes, maybe because I’ve never taught anyone before, I was so full of those thoughts that I couldn’t sleep properly.”
“Ah…”
Now I could understand why she looked tired earlier in the morning.
It was because of me.
“Sorry. Because of me…”
“Don’t say that. I was just full of complicated thoughts because I entered the mountain late after climbing the mountain that everyone must climb. More than anything…”
“… ?”
Namgung Yuha smiled bitterly and said to me.
“I’m just grateful that you gave me the qualifications to climb that mountain.”
“Haha…”
Fortunately, I was able to see that while I was feeling pressure, I was also feeling anticipation.
And at the same time, I also felt a little burdened.
‘I really need to concentrate.’
Looking at the way Namgung Yuha is showing now, it looks like she has no intention of teaching properly.
I started teaching with all my sincerity, but my attitude is bad or my growth is slow?
Rather than increasing favorability, there was a high possibility that it would fall headlong into the ground.
I tightened my eyes, straightened my posture, and opened my mouth.
“I ask for your guidance starting today. “Master.”
“That… Is it so. Please take care of me too.”
Namgung Yuha looked embarrassed, but she quickly came to her senses and began to guide me.
“For the sake of the environment, please remove the tables and chairs.”
“Yes.”
Following Namgung Yuha’s orders, I removed the furniture and created a spacious space.
“When you are done, please sit cross-legged.”
“Yes.”
This time, following her command, I sat cross-legged on the floor and placed the backs of both hands on my knees.
Namgung Yuha, who was standing calmly, sat down behind me and spoke to me.
“From now on, there is only one basic thing you need to learn. “It’s Danjeon breathing.”
After that, Namgung Yuha continued his explanation for a long time to imprint in my mind the method and importance of Danjeon breathing.
Although it was a bit boring, I listened to Namgung Yuha with open ears.
“The energy flowing out of Yggdrasil targets us all year round like a tiger, sweeps around us like a phoenix, is incomprehensible like a turtle, and like a dragon, we cannot understand with our common sense.
“Because of that effect, when you focus on dantian, you have to put all your effort into not getting eaten.”
“That’s why the basic Danjeon breathing is important. “If I don’t breathe to my satisfaction, I will never move on to the next step, so please do your best.”
Simply put, if you do not complete the tutorial perfectly, you cannot proceed with the main game.
“I’m sorry for saying something boring. But please keep in mind that this is just as important.”
I nodded with a stiff expression.
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
“Great. Then let’s begin. Close your eyes, focus on your abdomen, and breathe. Instead of just giving strength, feel the energy of Danjeon…”
Namgung Yuha continued her step-by-step explanation to me…
“… ?”
She calmly placed both her palms on my back.
Namgung Yuha continued her explanation of her actions.
“There is a way to breathe. “I will personally check the flow of energy in the energy vein and point out any mistakes.”
“All right.”
“Please concentrate from now on.”
I did what Namgung Yuha told me to do and closed her eyes and began to concentrate.
Okay, focus.
‘… ‘Your palms are warm.’
[You said you were concentrating?]
‘You focus on your palms…’
[…]
That was the moment when Namgung Yuha focused on the warmth of her palm.
“Concentrate.”
I skipped answering and focused again on Namgung Yuha’s voice, which was momentarily filled with criticism.
However, the concentration that he had barely managed to concentrate began to dissipate again due to the warmth of Namgung Yuha.
‘Ah, we held hands together once…’
The moment you think about something like that…
“Concentration.”
“… Sorry.”
I got scolded again.
‘Let’s really focus.’
I put aside other thoughts and started to really focus.
Namgung Yuha seemed to be able to catch my wandering thoughts right away while he was grasping the flow of my energy and energy.
Fortunately, there was no scolding from Namgung Yuha after that.
As I began to focus on my Danjeon and breathe, Namgung Yuha began to explain calmly.
“Think of your breath as flowing into your danjeon through prayer. “Mix the cold energy from the outside with the warm energy from the inside and pour it into the danjeon as if you were watering a flower.”
In addition to explanations, he did not spare any comments.
“That’s not it. If you breathe quickly, the cold energy will have a negative effect. “First, breathe slowly and increase your speed.”
“Concentrate not only on your breathing, but also on your dantian. Like… “Think of it as creating a flame with the breath you breathe in through prayer.”
“That doesn’t mean you should set the entire Danjeon on fire. A small spark… Candlelight in a quiet attic with the energy of dawn… “Think of it as carefully lighting the candle.”
Namgung Yuha expressed her abstract process in concrete terms.
Thanks to this, her explanation caught my ear.
‘The embers of the quiet attic…’
I focused on the Danjeon, whose existence I doubt, and breathed while imagining lighting a candle on top as Namgung Yuha said.
And fortunately, I was able to receive praise.
“Great. Keep it that way. But keep in mind: Your breathing style will continue to change as your dantian and body change. “I will continue to watch over you for the time being, but please know that you will have to figure it all out on your own later.”
I was happy to receive the compliment, but it was also a vague compliment.
I never thought the day would come when I would be praised for breathing well.
It’s like an elementary school student being praised for being good at using chopsticks…
“Concentration.”
“…”
Namgung Yuha immediately caught that momentary distracted mind.
‘It feels like bowing to the palm of Buddha…’ .’
As I focused again and breathed, other comments began to come in.
“I think you are confused about the location of Danjeon. Feel a little further down and toward your back.”
I heard from the explanation that the location of the Danjeon is roughly below the navel and between the back and stomach.
As I roughly guessed the position of the lever and concentrated, Namgung Yuha realized the wrong position I was thinking of.
Let’s stay silent and change our positions like Namgung Yuha said…
“No. This time too far down… Move a little closer to the back… Moving too…”
Even though I was concentrating and moving minutely in my own way, from Namgung Yuha’s perspective, it seemed to be moving absurdly.
Namgung Yuha continued to correct the position verbally for a while…
“… “It won’t work.”
She removed her palms from my back.
‘What? ‘Are you sure you’re giving up because I don’t have any talent?’
Although I waited for Namgung Yuha’s next words with such anxiety, Namgung Yuha did not open her mouth but responded with actions.
Her actions…
‘Huh!?’
After taking a seat next to me, he placed his palm on my stomach.
Namgung Yuha gently wrapped her lower abdomen with his palm and let her voice flow into my ear.
“This is the location of Danjeon. “Focus on this side and breathe.”
“… Yes.”
I concentrated as much as I could while suppressing my trembling cock.
‘Wow, you almost got into big trouble.’
It’s not a joke, I almost got into real trouble.
If it were me in the past, there would have been a huge disaster that would have caused my dick to become erect.
Fortunately, thanks to meeting many women, such a disaster did not happen.
However, Namgung Yuha continued to correct her position by stroking her lower abdomen and back, as if laughing at my patience.
“The position of the dantian is fixed, but your mind is not fixed. “Even if you think you’ve got the perfect position, if you lose focus, your mind will go somewhere else.”
“…”
I concentrated on my breathing, suppressing the writhing energy of my cock with all my might.
Namgung Yuha watched my breathing for about an hour while putting his hands on my stomach and back…
“That’s all for today.”
She called it quits.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately checked my surroundings.
The room was full of heat.
And looking at my physical condition, I apologized to Namgung Yuha.
“Whoa… Sorry.”
The reason I apologized was simple.
“Are you okay. “The fact that I sweated so much means that I was very focused.”
This was because my entire body was soaked with sweat and the room was filled with my scent.
“Still, I’m sorry. If this continues, it will interfere with your rest…”
“Just ventilating is enough. We definitely had a priestly relationship. “I don’t think it’s desirable to apologize for something like this.”
“All right.”
After listening to Namgung Yuha’s words, she thought that it was not polite to apologize anymore.
After I woke up, I opened the window and opened my mouth.
“Then, shall we at least change seats starting tomorrow? I need to prepare my own room or some other accommodation…”
“No. You’ve already threaded the needle here and completed your first stitch beautifully. “It’s not right to change positions without a specific reason.”
“… All right.”
At Namgung Yuha’s firm words, I eventually raised the white flag.
A disciple must listen to his teacher.
“Then… “I’ll leave for today.”
“Yes, please make rest your top priority when you return. “Never burn your enthusiasm alone.”
It didn’t mean you shouldn’t be alone.
As Namgung Yuha said earlier, I have just started my first sewing with her help.
If you burn out your motivation alone in that situation, you will only end up damaging the fabric.
Namgung Yuha expressed his concern because he did not want me to do anything wrong.
“All right. Then I will go in. “Master.”
“Huh… “This might take some getting used to.”
Namgung Yuha blushed and smiled at her.
‘Is it because I’ve never smiled before? ‘It’s always awkward to smile.’
Of course, I didn’t mean it in a bad way.
Rather, that awkward smile made my heart beat.
“Then let’s go in.”
“Yes, when you return, don’t overexert yourself and be sure to rest.”
I went back to my room, listening to Namgung Yuha’s warning advice.
***
Crash.
As soon as Namgung Yuha closed her door and locked it…
“Hmm…”
My legs started to shake.
Fortunately, she didn’t fall because she was holding on to the door handle.
“Ha, whoa…”
Namgung Yuha gave strength to her wobbly legs and headed to her bed.
And as soon as she lay down on the bed, she muttered.
“Ha, whoa… “It’s also because of the scent coming from his body.”
The reason why Namgung Yu-ha couldn’t take care of her body right now was because of Seongsu-ho’s body.
A scent that had put her on guard ever since she first met him.
In fact, the reason I refused Seong Su-ho’s breakfast today was because of his personality.
Furthermore, he went further and helped Seong Su-ho with his Danjeon breathing in that condition.
However, feeling unwell was a symptom that had nothing to do with pain, such as a headache or body aches.
Just…
“It feels like swimming in a scented candle.”
I was buried in Seong Su-ho’s body and felt like my mind was being controlled like a puppet on a string.
At first, I was rather wary of the foreign scent…
“… “Let’s close.”
Rather, I didn’t want to close the window and escape the scent.
Namgung Yoo-ha closed the window and was buried in the scent of Seong Su-ho that spread throughout the room…
“No. Rather, it may be because I am too sensitive.”
He placed his cross-legged position in the same position where Seongsu-ho had placed his cross-legged position earlier.
Namgung Yuha in lotus position…
“You have to get used to it, I’m your only disciple…”
Without saying a word, she smiled and began to meditate.
