Chapter 27
After one intense bout of pleasure had passed.
Eun Gwan-yeong and Wi Ilcheong were catching their breath.
“Haa…. Hngh…!”
With her head resting against Wi Ilcheong’s leg, Eun Gwan-yeong intermittently trembled at the waist, as if reliving what had just happened.
The afterglow had yet to fade; saliva still hung from her mouth as she calmed her breathing with dazed eyes.
In contrast, Wi Ilcheong stroked her hair and leisurely caught his own ragged breath.
“Did you enjoy it that much?”
“…Yes. Hngh…. Whenever I’m with you, Big Brother Wi, my hips really feel like they’re about to come apart, you know?”
“I’m glad to hear you say that.”
“Hehe….”
When Wi Ilcheong stroked Eun Gwan-yeong’s cheek, she rubbed it against his hand like a cat.
Watching Eun Gwan-yeong, Wi Ilcheong spoke.
“…More importantly, how are things with Miss Dokgo?”
“I don’t like you bringing up another woman’s name in bed….”
“Weren’t you happy at first to have a new companion?”
“…I didn’t know Miss Dokgo was like that back then.”
Eun Gwan-yeong puffed out her cheeks and voiced her complaint.
“How on earth did Senior Mad Demon raise his child?! She’s so brash, eccentric, and foul-mouthed, yet she’s way too weak.”
“You know she has talent, don’t you?”
“…A little.”
Eun Gwan-yeong avoided answering Wi Ilcheong.
After all, she’d been outmatched in the hand-to-hand combat she was most confident in. Even though she’d decided not to use inner energy, she still felt uneasy about overpowering Dokgo Ryeong with it.
“Do you really think it’s only a little?”
“…I don’t know. I’m not answering.”
“Haha. Please don’t fight too much.”
“…I’ll handle it.”
“All right. Then we should wrap things up soon.”
“…Yes.”
Eun Gwan-yeong’s voice, which had briefly sharpened at the thought of Dokgo Ryeong, softened.
“I’ll… clean you up.”
Eun Gwan-yeong licked the inside of Wi Ilcheong’s thigh, then turned her head toward his center.
“Hah…, chuup….”
She carefully licked and swallowed his member, smeared with her own juices and the semen he had just released.
“Chuup…, mm….”
“It seems there’s still a little left inside.”
“Yeees….”
Eun Gwan-yeong grasped Wi Ilcheong’s member and lifted it, then ran her pointed tongue all the way up the vein beneath it.
A little semen left in his urethra emerged and gathered at the tip of Wi Ilcheong’s member.
“I almost let that go to waste….”
Eun Gwan-yeong licked up the semen and swallowed it.
“Hehe…, did I do well?”
“Yes. Miss Eun, you learn so quickly whenever I teach you.”
“Hehe….”
When Wi Ilcheong stroked her head, Eun Gwan-yeong smiled blissfully.
It was only a simple gesture, but even that small touch sent a powerful wave of pleasure coursing down Eun Gwan-yeong’s spine, like an electric current.
Feeling herself grow wet again, she asked Wi Ilcheong,
“Um…, Big Brother Wi.”
“Yes, Miss Eun.”
“Um… you’re going to take Miss Dokgo into your arms too, right?”
“Yes. I realized this time that I gained a considerable amount of inner energy even without intercourse. Though she’s suffered from blocked meridians for a long time, her yin energy is quite pure.”
“…Then should I teach Miss Dokgo a little in advance?”
“You, Miss Eun?”
“…Yes. I learned from Big Sis Sohyeon too, didn’t I?”
“Hmm….”
Wi Ilcheong thought for a moment, then nodded.
“If you’re all right with it, Miss Eun, then go ahead. But no violence.”
“Hiiing…, Big Brother Wi, that’s so mean. What do you take me for?”
“…I’m worried because the two of you have already fought once. Miss Dokgo is weak as it is.”
“I understand….”
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Miss Eun.”
As Wi Ilcheong got to his feet, Eun Gwan-yeong looked up at him and asked,
“Um…!”
“What is it?”
“Um… I… um…”
“Hmm?”
Eun Gwan-yeong placed both hands on her knees and mumbled in a tiny voice.
“I… if I… teach Miss Dokgo well… will you… praise me again?”
“Ahaha, was that what you wanted to ask?”
“…”
When Wi Ilcheong burst out laughing, Eun Gwan-yeong shrank slightly and lowered her head.
Wi Ilcheong gently placed a hand on top of her head.
“Of course. Miss Eun is a good girl, after all. I’ll praise you lots again.”
“Yes…. Y-yes!”
“I’m counting on you. I’ll go wash up first.”
When Wi Ilcheong hastily threw on his clothes and went outside, Eun Gwan-yeong lay down on the floor.
“Haa….”
She let out a long sigh, then placed a hand on her chest.
‘My heart’s still pounding….’
Despite doing all kinds of lewd things with Wi Ilcheong and being perfectly comfortable talking to him about anything related to the Hao Sect, asking him for something was still far too difficult for her.
She already felt she had received more kindness than she deserved.
Simply being allowed to sleep with the man who had saved her life, and being able to help him, made her happy; the way he cherished her so often left her feeling almost apologetic.
Eun Gwan-yeong didn’t even hope to become his wife. Nor did she want to be his concubine.
She would be happy even as a plaything he toyed with for a little while.
She simply wanted to stay by his side.
She wanted to see that smile he gave her, calling her by name and looking at her, just one more time.
Eun Gwan-yeong’s life had existed solely for Wi Ilcheong ever since the day he helped her.
And now, once again, he had made her a promise.
If she taught Dokgo Ryeong, he would praise her lavishly once more.
Eun Gwan-yeong knew Wi Ilcheong well, so hearing him say that made her heart race.
She knew better than anyone
how well Wi Ilcheong kept his promises.
After washing up, Eun Gwan-yeong fell into thought.
“…Where do I find that little madwoman?”
She’d already been angry earlier and had stormed out in a huff.
Thinking she might be guzzling liquor again by now, Eun Gwan-yeong looked around the inn, but Dokgo Ryeong wasn’t there.
‘Haa…, what a hopeless delinquent….’
It would’ve been better if she’d just stayed in her room, but now that Eun Gwan-yeong was looking for her, she was nowhere to be seen.
As Eun Gwan-yeong wondered for a long while where she might find her,
she spotted Dokgo Ryeong walking from afar with Baekri Sohyeon.
Her top was half undone, making her look just like some middle-aged man who’d had a drink or two.
‘What a waste of such a pretty face….’
Wondering why Wi Ilcheong would be interested in a woman like that, Eun Gwan-yeong called Dokgo Ryeong.
“Miss Dokgo!”
Hearing Eun Gwan-yeong’s voice, Dokgo Ryeong turned her head and frowned.
“…Hao Sect.”
“I have something to say…”
“Let’s spar.”
“Pardon?”
“A spar. I’m saying let’s do it again.”
“…”
Eun Gwan-yeong had been thinking hard about how she could teach Dokgo Ryeong.
She’d considered secretly tying her up or sealing her acupoints while she slept, or simply overpowering her with brute force.
But fortunately, Dokgo Ryeong had offered her a way herself.
Eun Gwan-yeong did her best to hide her excitement and began acting.
“Haa…, Miss Dokgo. You’ve already done it once, haven’t you?”
“Scared?”
“…Pardon?”
“I asked if you were scared.”
“Ha…. Haha….”
But Dokgo Ryeong was far crazier than Eun Gwan-yeong.
“You think you can’t beat someone you’ve beaten once a second time? Ah…, I guess that makes sense. You got scared at the end and agreed not to use inner energy, then you went and used it anyway…”
“I did not!!”
“God, you’re loud.”
Dokgo Ryeong picked at her ear with a finger, blew on it, and said,
“They say a frightened dog barks the loudest. You know that?”
“…”
Was I scared? Me?
“He… hehe… Miss Dokgo’s provocation truly is the best in the world….”
“How does telling the truth count as provocation? I don’t get it.”
“…”
Eun Gwan-yeong tried desperately to swallow her anger and maintain her composure.
‘Stay calm…, I’ll win if we fight anyway…. There’s no way I’ll lose in hand-to-hand combat….’
Eun Gwan-yeong took a deep breath, steadied herself, and said,
“Phew…, Miss Dokgo. I’m really tired right now, so how about we set some conditions?”
“Bark.”
“You really do have such a lovely way with words….”
“A scared dog…”
“If I win!”
Eun Gwan-yeong pointed at her and said,
“You’ll call Big Sis Sohyeon ‘Big Sis,’ and accept anything I do!”
“You want me to become your slave?”
“…I won’t go that far. I just want to teach you a few things.”
“Hmm…, fine. But I’ll put one thing on the line too.”
“Go ahead.”
“If I win, stop acting tough and know your place from now on.”
“Fine, hehe.”
Eun Gwan-yeong smiled and took her stance.
Her lower back still ached a little, but she was fine.
Eun Gwan-yeong believed in herself.
She believed in all the effort she had put in and in Dokgo Ryeong’s impulsive nature.
No matter how talented Dokgo Ryeong was at hand-to-hand combat, she’d been careless that time.
She’d treated her like a complete novice who knew nothing of martial arts, and had been caught off guard by a surprise attack.
This time would be different.
Dokgo Ryeong also loosened her wrists, then took a stance.
“Hey, Hao Sect. You know the rules, right? No inner energy for you.”
“No inner energy. I promise.”
“Good.”
Dokgo Ryeong raised one hand and slowly lowered her body.
As Eun Gwan-yeong watched her, she drew in a breath, and the moment she exhaled again—
“!!”
Dokgo Ryeong flung her top at her.
‘A cheap trick…!’
For a moment, Eun Gwan-yeong’s vision was blocked.
There had been a reason Dokgo Ryeong had left her top half undone earlier.
‘…But I should watch out for other things too!’
A first-rate martial artist never relied on sight alone in a fight.
Eun Gwan-yeong focused and sharpened her senses.
The feel of the faintly shifting wind against her skin.
The sound of Dokgo Ryeong’s moving footsteps.
Then she heard a sound that shouldn’t have reached her ears.
Clang.
“Using a sword is cheating!”
Even as she said that, Eun Gwan-yeong drove a punch through the garment toward the direction the sound had come from.
She hadn’t infused it with inner energy, but it was a sharp punch honed over more than ten years.
‘I won…!’
Thinking Dokgo Ryeong had made a mistake if she thought merely drawing a weapon would give her the advantage, Eun Gwan-yeong’s lips curled into a victorious smile—when,
“…Huh?”
Beyond the garment, there was nothing but a soft sword lying on the ground.
‘A decoy…!’
Eun Gwan-yeong hurriedly turned her head, but it was already too late.
“It’s over, you bitch!”
“Using inner energy is cheating…!”
Dokgo Ryeong’s fist, packed with inner energy, came flying toward her side.
‘Too late! I have to take the hit…!’
She tried to raise her legs and arms to protect herself, but she was a step too late.
Feeling the heavy fist strike her right abdomen, Eun Gwan-yeong gritted her teeth.
‘How underhanded…!’
Struck by the full-force blow Dokgo Ryeong had thrown, Eun Gwan-yeong went flying.
“Guh…!”
“Kya! Love that satisfying weight!!”
“Th-that was unfair…!”
“What was, you punk? I told you not to use inner energy. I never said I wouldn’t.”
“That’s….”
“You punk, you’re strong, so show a little mercy. You’re clawing tooth and nail to win… good grief.”
Seeing Eun Gwan-yeong stagger to her feet, Dokgo Ryeong laughed.
“Ha! Want to keep going? Didn’t I win?”
“Heh… hehe….”
“What, did one hit scramble your brains?”
When Eun Gwan-yeong opened her top, Dokgo Ryeong panicked.
“Y-you crazy bitch! What are you doing in the middle of the street….”
When Eun Gwan-yeong took off her clothes, a black stealth suit was revealed underneath.
“Ah….”
It was a stealth suit made from the hide of a One-Horned Flower Python.
“Shit….”
It was one of the finest armors, impossible to pierce with ordinary blades.
‘Ah, shit. Am I an idiot? How did I forget about that?’
“I thought you weren’t wearing it.”
“We get ambushed so often…. Like this time.”
“…”
“Still, that really hurt. Miss Dokgo, you’re truly talented.”
A sinister aura flowed from Eun Gwan-yeong’s eyes.
“Unlike you, Miss Dokgo, I’m not a coward. I won’t use inner energy. I promise.”
“Hah…, shit. This isn’t how it was supposed to go….”
“But… I’ll make you beg for your life!”
Eun Gwan-yeong launched herself forward.
“Ah, screw it…. Shit, bring it on!!”
Dokgo Ryeong also charged at her.
Watching the two of them start brawling, Baekri Sohyeon sighed.
‘…The medicine shop. Good thing I memorized where it was….’
