Chapter 47 Swat Hong's New Friend

It's been too long since we left Han Swat Hong, daughter of King Han Ti Ong. We should follow his experience so as not to be left too far behind. As we know, Swat Hong, who has a tough character, was angry when he saw how Sin Liong helped a bear and didn't care about him. He thought that Sin Liong was deliberately looking for excuses to hinder his journey. Even though he really wanted to immediately find and find his mother, whom he did not know where she had gone and what her fate would be after a very violent storm raged around the ocean.
But of course he didn't want to leave Sin Liong on that empty island with a real heart, but only to show his anger. Therefore, after the boat left the island far away, so that the island where Sin Liong treated the bear was no longer visible, the maiden turned the boat again and was about to return to Sin Liong. He had already imagined how Sin Liong, who was always patient and always yielded to him, would apologize and express his regret, and he would forgive him! Moments like that bring emotion, pride and victory in his heart.
How confused and shocked he was when he later found out that he had lost his way and no longer knew where he had left Sin Liong! So many islands with the same shape in the ocean, lots of chunks of ice that come and go just as if they were alive! After turning around and around without success and being sure that he was farther and farther away from where Sin Liong was, after shouting and calling with khikang exertion without any response, he finally turned the boat out of the area full of confusing islets.
Let it be, he will just go on a journey alone looking for his mother. He felt sure that his suheng would certainly be able to save himself. His Suheng has very high intelligence.

Little did Swat Hong know that his boat was heading south, not towards the Ice Island area anymore. But because of her intention to find her mother, this maiden seemed to be sailing aimlessly and letting the boat go where the wind was pushing her.
One day, he saw a black line on the right. The line was still very far away, but with joy he could recognize that the very long black line running from right to left was a land that seemed to have no end.
“Ah! That is the great land,” he thought excitedly.
He immediately turned his boat towards the black line. When his boat had arrived near a deserted beach, he saw another boat speeding from his left. The boat was small, and in it was a young man who looked dashing and handsome. The young man looked at him so that two pairs of eyes looked at each other for a moment. However, Swat Hong looked away and ignored the stranger, continuing to row his boat to shore.
As soon as the boat approached land, he then jumped ashore, ignoring the boat again. Indeed he did not think of returning to that place and boating again. Why sail? Ice Island is empty. He will look for his mother on the mainland, because if his mother is on an island, it seems certain that he will not be able to escape from the raging storm. If the mother is on the mainland, and this is possible, then there is hope that the mother is still alive and can meet her again. If he didn't, he would have wandered across the mainland, not returning to the sea.
He knew that his suheng presumably felt the same way. Before parting they had talked about this many times. His ancestor who had been the king of Ice Island all this time also came from the mainland! Now that the Ice Island Kingdom has been wiped out by a storm and no longer exists, it is only fitting that he, as the sole heir, return to the mainland!
"Hey... Miss! Wait...!!"
Swat Hong furrowed his brows and stopped walking. He turned around and saw how the young man in the boat had moored his boat and also the boat he had left on the beach. Now he was running after him.
"What do you want to chase and call me?" Swat Hong asked, his eyes searching inquiringly.
The young man was of course only two or three years older than him, a handsome and dashing young man. He was tall and tall, his eyes reflecting honesty and imagining violence and courage. The two arms that seemed to be sticking out of the short sleeves were stocky and muscular, imagining great strength. His shirt, which was made of light cloth, imagined a broad chest, adorned with a little hair, muscular and very strong. Looking at the material of his clothes, one could surmise that this young man was a bear. But judging from the state of his body and his accomplices, it seemed that he was used to heavy work.
"If not a farmer, surely a fisherman," thought Swat Hong, also admiring that sturdy body.
The young man smiled. His smile is wide, showing a row of strong strong teeth, an open smile of someone with an honest and modest character. However, his attitude when he raised his hands in front of his chest as a tribute, proves that he once 'eat school' aka educated, it is also evident from his words which, although concise and brief, are still polite.
"I'm sorry. Miss just left the boat, I felt sorry for her and helped put her aside. Looking at the movements of Miss when she jumped, it's clear that Miss is highly intelligent. I really want to learn to know her," he said.
Swat Hong furrowed his brows. His heart was not happy, because apart from his failure to find a mother, his parting with Sin Liong at least brought anxiety to his heart. Now there are youths

who is very presumptuous to want to 'learn to know', really adorable.
"I don't need that boat anymore, and I don't care if you put it aside or want to own it, I don't ask for your help. As for learning to know, it's usually just swords, fists and kicks of feet who want to learn to know a presumptuous stranger!"
The pair of wide eyes widened as if looking at something very strange, but imagining a tremendous awe. And indeed, beyond Swat Hong's own expectations, his attitude and words brought great admiration to this young man's heart. The character of this young man really admires the attitude of people who are open, honest, rude and without pretense, like the attitude of Swat Hong who has just been shown.
"Ha ha ha ha!" the young man laughed giddily and his eyes became wet with tears. This is also his trademark. When he laughs, his tears come out like someone crying. With the back of his big, muscular hand he wiped away his tears.
"What a great Miss! Ha-ha-ha, I've been Kwee Lun all my life and only now have I met such a great Miss! Out of a thousand girls, there isn't necessarily one! Miss, if you'd like, introduce me Kwee Lun. Even if I'm ugly and rude, not unknown. My father was an ordinary sailor and passed away, as well as my mother. I am a sailor's son but since childhood I have followed my teacher. My teacher is a famous one. My teacher is Lam-hai Sengjin, a very famous hermit in kang-ouw's world, and we both live on Turtle Island in the South Sea."
Seeing this open attitude, Swat Hong's heart amused too. Now he saw clearly that this young man was not impudent at all. Rough indeed, but rudeness is indeed an open character. Such a person makes a good friend, he thought. However, it must be proven first whether this young man deserves to be his friend, even though according to his confession he is a disciple of a hermit whose name is famous in the world kang-ouw!
Swat Hong smiled. "Aihh, you are more suitable to be an herbalist! After you introduced all your ancestors to me, with what intention do you have a man asking to get acquainted with a woman?"
Kwee Lun furrowed his very bushy eyebrows like two brushes placed across his forehead. He then shook his head. "Indeed, before I left to wander, the temperature seriously advised me that I should not approach beautiful women who are said to be more dangerous than venomous snakes! However, even though Miss is beautiful it is difficult to find her flaws, but Miss' intelligence is high and Miss's attitude is honest and pleasant. I want friendly, because this is the first time I've wandered alone. I need a friend who is smart like Miss to guide me. For the kindness of this Miss, of course I will try to please you."
Swat Hong was even more amazed. He didn't know if this young man was smart or stupid. His demeanor was open, his words were regular, but there was a hint of stupidity. "Hmm, what can you do? How can you please me?" he probed.
"Me? Wow, I'm stupid, but if there are people who are impudent to you, without Miss getting involved myself, I can beat them up!" he stretched out his strong, muscular arms "And don't hesitate anymore, even if there are fifty people, I can still face them, if necessary assisted with my weapons are fans and swords. If you like rhymes, I know a lot of beautiful old rhymes and when you are lonely, I can cheer you up with songs! I love singing."
Swat Hong almost chuckled. This man as strong as a ferocious lion read poetry, sang and his weapon was a fan? Truly a strange young man, but of course he did not want to believe it. Glaring at him he said, "Hmm, you talk about swords and fans as weapons, but I don't see you carrying any weapons."
"Ahh, wait a minute, Miss. I did leave it on the boat on purpose!"
After saying this, Kwee Lun turned his back and galloped to his boat. When

he was back in front of Swat Hong, sure enough he was carrying a sword in an ornate scabbard and a silver-handled fan tucked into his belt!
"Why are you only now showing your weapons?"
"Oh, if I had brought a weapon earlier, it would have raised wild guesses. To get to know a girl, how dare I carry a weapon? Of course, I would be mistaken for a robber or a pirate!"
Like it or not, Swat Hong smiled. She developed a feeling of fondness for this strange, rough young man. "After all, I am a woman and you are a man, how can we be friends? Not worth seeing."
His wide eyes widened again with curiosity and his left hand clenched into a fist. "What does it matter what people say? If anyone dares to say nonsense I'll tear their mouths open! Women are human, men are human too. What's wrong with acquaintances and friendship? Miss, I am Kwee Lun not a dirty mind, either I won't randomly choose friends! I'm amazed to see Miss, so if you're willing, please introduce yourself."
Swat Hong became even more interested. But he still hesitated, was this person worthy of being a friend? Even if he looks like a champ, who knows if it's empty?
"You said earlier you were a student of a famous tosu?"
"Yes, Master Lam-hai Sengjin is the most famous figure in the south!"
"In that case, your martial arts skills are certainly more shrewd than your talk like a herbal medicine seller, right?"
"Ehhh, please don't laugh! Even if you're not as skilled as Miss I could see from the boat jumping move just now, there aren't too many people in this world who would be able to beat Kwee Lun!"
"It's meaningless to just brag and be proud without any proof! I also don't casually introduce myself to other people. To prove whether you are worthy of being my acquaintance, draw both of your weapons, and try to face my sword!" while saying so, Swat Hong had already drawn his sword slowly and there was a blade light when the sunlight fell on him.
"However, Miss..." Kwee Lun hesitated. Even though he had witnessed how agile and light her body floated to the ground, he still couldn't believe that she could match his sword and fan!
"Don't hesitate so much. If you don't want to, then go away and don't bother me any longer!"
"Srat...!!" the drawn sword was already in Kwee Lun's right hand. The scabbard was thrown onto the ground, while his left hand had pulled out the silver hilt fan that had been developed and protected his chest, while the sword was extended forward. "I am ready, Miss."
Swat Hong really wanted to see how clever this strange young man was, so without another word he had leapt forward and maneuvered his sword violently. The sword in his hand was an ordinary sword, but because what moved it was a hand that contained special sinking energy from Ice Island, the sword disappeared, its shape changed into a roll of light that dazzled the eyes and the girl's body was also covered by a roll of sword light so fast that her body it jumps.
"Aihhh...!!" Kwee Lun shouted loudly.
Quickly he moved the sword and fan. Indeed he had expected that the maiden was very skilled, but witnessing such an extraordinary sword movement, he was shocked, amazed, astonished and also happy. Without hesitation he then exerted his energy and put out all his martial arts skills to fight

to match this amazing virgin's heart.
As we know at the beginning of this story, when the kang-ouw characters fought over Sin Liong, who was then known as Sin-tong (a prodigy boy), the young man's teacher, Lam-hai Sengjin, was a tosu who besides being an expert in To Religion, also good at singing, and very skilled martial arts. This Tosu is famous as a hermit or the owner of Turtle Island in Lam-hai, and his weapons in the form of a hudtim and a fan have raised his name high in the world of kang-ouw.
Presumably that intelligence has all been passed down to this single student. But of course because the student is not a tosu, the hudtim weapon is replaced with a sword. Swords and fans are light weapons, now being played by Kwee Lun's two arms which contain elephant power, of course one can imagine how quickly the two weapons moved until they were no longer visible as fans and swords, but only coils of light flashing and entangling each other. with the sword beam in Swat Hong's hands.
"Cringgg...!" suddenly the young man cried out in surprise and his sword flew up and slipped from his hand.
Swat Hong smiled. He had already witnessed that the young man's swordsmanship was quite proficient, even in terms of speed and power not much inferior to his own. The fact that he was able to make the young man's sword loose within thirty moves, was only due to the fact that besides his basic martial arts knowledge, he was higher than the young man, also the fact that the young man did not want to attack him seriously and based his game on the level of examiners and practice only. If the young man resisted earnestly, he himself doubted whether he would be able to knock him down within a hundred moves.
"Wow, you're doing great, Miss! I admit defeat!" Kwee Lun jutted and kept his fan. His voice was serious, because even though this young man didn't really want to attack earlier, from his opponent's movements he could already see that the girl really had a very strange and very strong martial art. "I'm too low to be your friend," he said.
"Kwee-twako, you are too modest. Your intelligence is great! Introduce, my name is Han Swat Hong…," until here the maiden hesitated because she was still doubtful whether she would introduce herself as a princess from the foreign Kingdom of Ice Island and that had been completely wiped out by that storm.
"Miss swordsmanship is unbelievably great, her moves are also very strange. During my travels with Suhu and listening to Suhu's explanations, I already know a lot about the basic martial arts of large gatherings in the world, Kang-ouw. However, seeing Miss's sword moves earlier, I really don't know anymore, don't know him one bit. Would Miss Han Swat Hong introduce him to me?"
"Kwee-twako, actually I will keep my situation a secret. This is the first time I've stepped on the mainland and I don't want to involve myself in the affairs of the world of kang-ouw, let alone introduce myself. But it's fate, as soon as I land to meet you, and your attitude tugs at my heart, making it impossible for me to hide myself anymore. I will tell you about my situation with only one promise from you, Twako."
Kwee Lun picked up his sword, tied the scabbard on his back, then puffed out his already engorged chest while patting his chest and saying, "Miss Han"
"Kwee-twako, once I want to get to know people, I don't want to be abysmal. I call you Twako (sister), meaning I already believe in you. So don't be shy about calling me Miss. My name is Swat Hong and you don't need to call me Miss like a stranger ."
"Hmm, that's great!" Kwee Lun clapped his hands and looked up at the sky. "No kidding! I'm really happy to have a sister like you! Well, Hong-moi (Hong's sister), you tell this to your sister. Tell me everything, if you're curious, I'll be the one to take care of it for you! Your sister once speaks, of course she will." defended to the death!"
Swat Hong was secretly excited and amazed. This is a real man! A man! At the same time he gains a friend he can trust, an older brother, and a substitute for a family after he has lost everything. He had lost his mother, his father, his father's family, even in the end he lost his suheng. But in such circumstances someone like Kwee Lun suddenly appeared!
"Kwee-twako I just left my place in the middle of the sea around there!" he pointed towards the open sea.
"Where do you live? On an island?" Swat Hong nodded, still a bit hesitant. "What island, Hong-moi?"
"Ice Island..."
"Hah...?!"
