Chapter 74. The Demonic Witch is a Sufferer of Men-hating Syndrome
Sunwu Cho Rin, the one dubbed with the title “Demon Witch” and “The Prettiest Woman in The Church” was staring at her father with a hateful gaze.
“Are you telling me to build a good relationship with the Heir? That kid?”
“Yeah.”
The family leader of the Sunwu family, Sunwu Gang Jin (鮮干强震), looked at his daughter with a tired face.
Because his daughter was so straightforward and forceful, he had pretty much let her do whatever she wanted, but he couldn’t let her do that this time.
Now, he wanted to at least borrow the paws of a cat for his family, but..
(TL: Meaning he’d try risky things in order to help his family)
“No.”
It was an immediate rejection. He had expected it already, but Sunwu Gang Jin still frowned.
“You damn girl, you’re rejecting your poor father’s desperate request for help? Shouldn’t you at least pretend to think a bit before saying no?”
Sunwu Cho Rin crossed her arms, and smirked.
“Just what about that was desperate?”
“Can’t you see from this face of mine?”
Sunwu Gang Jin tried to look as pitiful as possible, but Sunwu Cho Rin was unmoved.
“Dad, stop. You’re making a fool out of yourself.”
“…….I raised you wrongly.”
When Sunwu Gang Jin looked up at the sky with a face of regret, Sunwu Cho Rin fondled the whip curled up next to her waist, and opened her mouth.
“You told me that before already. Nothing would change even if you say that.”
“You damn girl…… Shouldn’t you respond after thinking a little, though? Eh? Shouldn’t you do that, at least in consideration for your dear father?”
“I thought about it already.”
“Huh? When?”
“Just now.”
Her relply was filled with too much confidence. Sunwu Cho Rin, who seemed to be thinking about something as she talked, suddenly glared at her father with eyes blazing with a crazy light.
“I never expected you to ask me to do something like this.”
Her face seemed had an expression of deep regret on it. Sunwu Gang Jin looked at this face of his daughter with an astounded expression.
“Can’t you do this for the family just this once? This father’s working so hard for the family……. you should help every once in a while…….”
“You know how much I hate even having to look at men.”
“Wait, how’s that kid even a man? He doesn’t even have a bit of hair on him.”
“I still don’t like him.”
Sunwu Gang Jin made a regretful expression, but his daughter was immovable.

’That crazy sickness of hers is acting up again.’
His daughter, Sunwu Cho Rin, hated men from a young age. This was what was known as the Men-hating syndrome, alternatively known to Sunwu Gang Jin as the “crazy sickness”.
This was always a problem.
‘I only have myself to blame for it, though…….’
Sunwu Gang Jin looked up at the sky with a sorrowful expression. Sunwu Cho Rin’s beauty could evidently be seen even from a young age.
She was on a different level compared to other girls. Sunwu Gang Jin treasured his daughter because of this, and treated her preciously to an abnormal level.
—Any man other than daddy are wolves, alright? If you manage to let your guard down even a little, they’ll devour you.
He always warned her like so, and whenever he saw a little boy of her age, he would point out each one of them to her and drove his theory into her mind.
‘Isn’t this something that all dads do, though?’
Sunwu Gang Jin knew that he was slightly at fault here for letting his daughter grow like this.
But he never knew his daughter would actually become this way. When he first tried to get her betrothed to someone, she refused. This actually made him happy.
He wanted to get her to marry someone, but he thought that having his daughter in the house would actually make things less boring.
(ED: Wow, dad of the year, right here..)
‘You only like it for the first two times she does it, though……..’
Sunwu Gang Jin released a deep sigh. He had gotten progressively more worried each time Sunwu Cho Rin refused to get married.
So one time, he brought a man to the house without warning. Sunwu Cho Rin knocked the man unconscious with a single blow.
That was only the beginning. A title known as the ‘Demon Witch’ stuck to her because she kept on knocking out every man that came to the house.
And the bigger problem lay in her great martial prowess. Thanks to her talent, Sunwu Cho Rin became powerful enough to even make her father afraid to speak out against her.
Even Sunwu Gang Jin, the leader of one of the four great families, was afraid of Sunwu Cho Rin. Obviously, none of the young men in the entire church was foolish enough to approach her.
“Girl.”
“What?”
It was an extremely rebellious face. It looked like Sunwu Gang Jin’s cute, lovely daughter died a long time ago.
Sunwu Gang Jin’s face turned sorrowful when he realized this, but he immediately steeled his heart and opened his mouth.
“Do you know that the Church is about to move out to Sichuan?”
“Yes.”
Sunwu Cho Rin was the Assistant Palace Master of the Ruling Fire House.
There was no way she wouldn’t know about this. Sunwu Gang Jin nodded with a face that implied that he had expected this already.
“Then you must also know that the Ruling Fire House will be at the front lines of this expedition.”
“……..What?”
Sunwu Gang Jin grinned when Sunwu Cho Rin made a stupefied face.
“It’s been decided just moments ago by the Headquarters. But anyway, the Ruling Fire House is set to get to the frontlines of this mission. They’re trying to make use of the fact that you’re all females. After all, having females would make moving to Sichuan easier by itself.”
Sunwu Cho Rin could understand what was going on now.
People usually didn’t get too cautious about female martial artists. This was probably why the Ruling Fire House was set to be at the front lines.
“That’s why I’m asking you to befriend the Heir.”
“How’s that supposed to be related to all this?”
“Of course it’s related.”
Sunwu Cho Rin’s eyes narrowed in suspicion. Sunwu Gang Jin smiled faintly when he saw this, and spoke.
“The Administrator of this entire operation is the Heir.”
“What? But the Heir is still…….”
Wasn’t he still young? Too young? Wasn’t it too irresponsible to leave the entire operation to a child like this?
Before Sunwu Cho Rin could say anything, her father spoke first.
“This was decided by the Pope himself. Unlike other times, the Pope was very adamant about this.”
“……..”
She had nothing to say.
