Seduce the Scholar

Ch 18
Sigh.
‘I was worried, but it was my mother’s will, so I thought I should try it first.’
Many days have passed since Yeon-hee came down from the mountain along the way, and wandered around different villages. She realized, finding a suitable man was also not easy.
“I said that the feeling came at first sight. “
No matter how she looked at it, there was no one who felt like she could get along. Of course, it wasn’t that there wasn’t a man who was betting on her. Some of the men in the streets would talk to her or follow her.
‘I don’t want to do that with just anyone.’
An old-fashioned hairy old man would always talk to her but facing someone like that just made Yeon-hee feel sick. That old man coaxed her by offering a hundred pieces of rice. But Yeon-hee extremely hated his actions.
(Rice in historical times was a luxury food too valuable for consumption by the farmers who produced it. It was widely used as a form of currency and for tax payments.)
She’s going to kill them by seducing them anyway, so Yeon-hee was thinking if there was any reason to be so picky.
‘Maybe in my heart, there’s always been a reason why..’
The person Yeon-hee wanted was a man who was moderately handsome and had a soft feeling like the spring breeze.
Several days of walking caused blisters on the soles of her feet.
(Blister: a small bubble on the skin filled with serum and caused by friction, burning, or other damage.)
That night, Yeon-hee was passing through a deep mountain. It seemed that she couldn’t find a suitable opponent in the lower village, so she decided to cross this mountain.
“Maiden, that mountain is a place to pass.”
( Maiden: an unmarried girl or young woman )

Sim Mani, whom Yeon-hee met at the beginning of the mountain, showed her a different path, but Yeon-hee didn’t care.
‘From here, I will become a nine-tailed fox ‘
As long as it wasn’t to face the gods, she was confident. But the deeper Yeon-hee went into the forest, the weaker she got.
‘Even if I have spiritual powers, if I meet a bear or a tiger, I’ll be dead.’
Then, there was a noise from somewhere. Although it sounded threatening, Yeon-hee had a confident expression on her face.
