Chapter 58
“G-Guest! Please just bear with it a little…!”
“Kyaaaah! Let go, fuck!!!”
In the end, Eun Yak-byeok used telekinesis to restrain Dokgo Ryeong, who had started rampaging with her sword.
“Let go!! I said let go, fuck!! I’ll bite my tongue off?!!”
“You have to listen to me, don’t you?! I said to behave yourself! You’re a woman now, so why are you acting like such a tomboy?!”
“Kraaaah!!”
After using telekinesis to restrain even Dokgo Ryeong’s tongue, Eun Yak-byeok looked at her and said,
“Come on! Anyone who saw this would think you were a paragon of chastity! You’ll give your virginity to someone you love someday anyway, so why does a man have a stronger sense of chastity than most women?!”
“Mmph! Mmmph!!”
“Quiet!”
Eun Yak-byeok glared at Dokgo Ryeong and said,
“If you keep this up, I’ll transform into Young Master Wi and force myself on you first!”
“…”
“Phew… Finally, you’ve calmed down.”
Seeing Dokgo Ryeong stop struggling, Eun Yak-byeok halted in front of her.
“Guest. You have so much yin energy that being with women is a problem now, too.”
“…”
“I’ve released the restraint on your tongue, so please answer me, too.”
“… Fuck.”
Ignoring Dokgo Ryeong’s grumbling, Eun Yak-byeok continued.
“Yin attracts yin, and yang attracts yang. But you have powerful yin energy you can’t even control, and you keep hanging around with women.”
“What do you want me to do about it?”
“If you really don’t want to spread your legs… then at least stick close to Young Master Wi. And do some naughty things now and then.”
“A-are you crazy?!”
“Do I sound like I’m joking?”
A tangible wave of inner energy rippled around Eun Yak-byeok’s fingertips.
As her hand drew closer, Dokgo Ryeong’s lower dantian began throbbing again.
Eun Yak-byeok stroked Dokgo Ryeong’s head and said,
“See? Just having strong yin energy nearby has already stirred up your lust.”
“This is…!”
“I know. It’s not natural lust, either, so it’s harmful to your body. If you’re going to get worked up, it’d be better to get worked up over a man.”
“What the fuck do you mean, get worked up…!”
“Oh? Are you really so sure?”
Eun Yak-byeok breathed hotly into Dokgo Ryeong’s ear and whispered,
“Hngh…!”
“When you’re held in a man’s rough hands and feel his yang member thrusting into you… it can even be blissful, you know?”
“I… I…”
“You’re a woman now, aren’t you?”
When Eun Yak-byeok’s tongue lightly licked Dokgo Ryeong’s cheek, her body shuddered.
“Hngh…!”
“Ah… I shouldn’t be doing this. Looking at you, I feel like I might develop a taste for women, too.”
“You’re a lewd bitch…”
“Anyway, your mastery of the Moon Shadow Divine Art, your health, and regaining your strength—Young Master Wi is the answer to all of it.”
“…”
As Eun Yak-byeok’s energy vanished, Dokgo Ryeong sank to the floor.
“… Fuck.”
“Do you hate it that much? It’s a rather pleasant kind of pleasure.”
“You crazy bitch! It feels so good I—!”
Dokgo Ryeong realized what she’d let slip and hurriedly shut her mouth, but Eun Yak-byeok had caught it.
“Oh?”
“No, fuck.”
“Oh, my.”
“I… I didn’t mean that.”
“Oh, my, oh my!”
“You bitch! Noooo!!!”
Watching Dokgo Ryeong clutch at her hair and thrash about, Eun Yak-byeok finally understood why her sense of chastity was so strangely ironclad.
‘So you were scared!’
Eun Yak-byeok nodded to herself as she thought.
‘Right… Now that I think about it, even when he was a man, he never so much as touched a woman and lived like a monk. Of course he wouldn’t know anything about pleasure. That must make the intense pleasure he suddenly felt all the more frightening.’
You had to experience pleasure before you could get used to it.
But Dokgo Ryeong had spent the whole of life doing nothing but whipping himself into shape. Now that he’d discovered pleasure, he didn’t know how to handle it, either, so he’d been avoiding it. That was the only explanation that made sense.
‘Hmm… It’s best if he figures this kind of thing out on his own, little by little…’
He needed to take his time and discover it for himself, step by step.
From what she’d heard, Dokgo Ryeong had even started masturbating recently, so it seemed he was enjoying pleasure on his own.
But given Dokgo Ryeong’s physical condition, there was no time to take things slowly, one step at a time.
Looking at Dokgo Ryeong, who had finally worn himself out after getting angry, Eun Yak-byeok said,
“Guest.”
“Huff… Fuck, I…”
“Pleasure isn’t such a bad thing, you know?”
“Fuck, not again… That lecher bastard was saying the same shit.”
“Why do you think pleasure is bad?”
“It dulls the edge of my blade.”
“…”
Dokgo Ryeong spoke in a limp, lifeless voice.
“Un-yeong’s daughter once gave me a sweet. It reminded me of the little sister I lost when I was young, and it made me feel good. That day, because I was in such high spirits, a scar was left on that child’s face.”
“That wasn’t your fault, Guest.”
“No, it was my fault. That bastard came to kill me. It was my fault for failing to stop them.”
“…”
“It’s always like that. Whenever something good happens, something bad follows. There are too many bastards trying to kill me, and too many bastards I want to kill.”
“Then when do you get to rest?”
“I can rest after I’m dead.”
“…”
Hearing Dokgo Ryeong’s voice grow cold, Eun Yak-byeok once again remembered who the girl before her had been.
The Blood-Crazed Reaper, Dokgo Jin.
His body had become that of a cute little girl, but he was a man who had taken on the entire martial world by himself.
Just as Eun Yak-byeok was wondering how she could give this man some peace, Dokgo Ryeong spoke.
“But fuck, this shitty body keeps throwing me off balance.”
Hearing that, Eun Yak-byeok found the faintest glimmer of hope.
“…How?”
“Fuck, I don’t know either. It makes my heart waver… It just makes me collapse on the spot.”
“Do you feel yourself growing hazy?”
“Huh?”
“Does your mind go blank? Do you stop thinking about anything, feel a pleasant languor, and find yourself feeling wistful?”
“Uh… yeah.”
“Don’t you want to feel that way again?”
“…It’s shitty. I hate it.”
She said that, but Dokgo Ryeong’s flushed face and pink-tinted hair showed that his true feelings were different.
‘He knows pleasure feels good, but he’s doing everything he can to resist it… What should I do…’
At times like this, she thought, all it would take was getting him to spread his legs once and having someone skilled in the ultimate arts of the bedchamber show him heavenly pleasure. He’d be hooked in no time.
Just then, Eun Yak-byeok’s mind flashed with an idea.
‘It all comes down to Young Master Wi!’
Just toss him over with a ‘Please take him’ and somehow it’ll all work out.
Young Master Wi was the man with the best bedroom skills in the martial world.
No matter how much Dokgo Ryeong tried to run, if he was left with Young Master Wi, he’d soften him up in no time.
‘The problem is how to toss this wildcat into his bedchamber…’
Looking at Dokgo Ryeong, still slumped on the floor, Eun Yak-byeok finally made up her mind.
Just this once.
She would lie to Dokgo Ryeong.
“Guest.”
“…What?”
“Then let’s do this.”
“Do what?”
“You have to practice the Moon Shadow Divine Art anyway, don’t you?”
“…If you’re going to tell me to spread my legs again…”
“No, not that.”
“Then what?”
“From now on, sleep beside Young Master Wi every night. Practice the Moon Shadow Divine Art next to him.”
“A-are you crazy?!”
Dokgo Ryeong started to thrash, but Eun Yak-byeok had already expected that, too.
“Guest. The Moon Shadow Divine Art is easiest to master when you practice it at night.”
“Fuck, then why the hell are you telling me to sleep with that lecher?!”
“I told you earlier. Yin attracts yin. If you’re with someone who has yang energy, it should lessen the effect.”
“…Ah, fuck. Somehow, that sounds like a lie.”
Eun Yak-byeok winced when she heard Dokgo Ryeong, but the words were already out of her mouth.
She continued making her case,
mixing in a little truth.
“The problem is that your yin energy suddenly runs wild while you’re practicing the Moon Shadow Divine Art, isn’t it?”
“…Yeah.”
“If that doesn’t happen, you can practice safely and improve your mastery of the Moon Shadow Divine Art, right?”
“I… guess?”
“Exactly. If you stay close to Young Master Wi, there’ll be yang energy beside you in the middle of the night, so your yin energy shouldn’t flare up so easily.”
“I… suppose?”
Just as Dokgo Ryeong was about to remember how his lust had run wild even from merely holding hands with Wi Ilcheong, Eun Yak-byeok pressed on.
“Besides…! If things get urgent, he can help calm you down, too!”
“No, fuck! I said I’m not spreading my legs!”
“That’s not what I mean! I… I mean Young Master Wi’s Su Nü Scripture! You don’t have to do anything lewd!”
“…Huh? Really?”
“O-of course. You can just hug each other, okay?”
“…”
Perhaps she’d imagined herself in Wi Ilcheong’s arms, because Dokgo Ryeong’s hair turned pink.
Seeing that, Eun Yak-byeok delivered the final blow.
“Besides… you’re going all the way to Tianzhu together, aren’t you? There might not always be enough rooms!”
“…That’s true.”
“Why not share a room from now on?”
“I-is that really how it works?”
“You’re a man, after all! Men can share a room, can’t they?!”
“Uh… I guess?”
Just as Dokgo Ryeong tilted her head, thinking that the conversation seemed to be going somewhere strange, Eun Yak-byeok gathered her inner energy and began playing her seven-string zither.
‘Don’t think about anything else! Just go along quietly!’
Using the music to clear Dokgo Ryeong’s mind and focus him on her words, Eun Yak-byeok said,
“Then go make plans with Young Master Wi for tonight.”
“Do I have to?”
“Yes. Young Master Wi is busy at night, you know? Wouldn’t it be a problem if Gwan-yeong or Sohyeon stuck close to him?”
“…”
Just as Dokgo Ryeong’s thoughts began drifting in a strange direction again, the seven-string zither rang out sharply.
“If you don’t hurry, it’ll be too late.”
“…Can I just go tell him we should sleep together?”
“Yes, yes. That’ll be enough. I’ll take care of everything else.”
“…All right. I’m going, then?”
“Yes, go on.”
“…”
Dokgo Ryeong tilted his head in confusion several times as he walked out.
Watching him go, Eun Yak-byeok let out a long sigh.
‘Phew… At least I’ve cleared the first hurdle.’
She could give Wi Ilcheong a rough explanation.
After that, she only had to set the mood. There was no way nothing would happen between two young men and women sharing the same blanket.
‘I should go find Young Master Wi.’
Eun Yak-byeok still told herself she hadn’t interfered with the two of them falling in love.
She’d merely put a man and a woman in the same room.
The rest would take care of itself.
Having convinced herself of that, she left the private room after Dokgo Ryeong.
*
‘Fuck…! Fuck, fuck, fuck!!! Something feels off…’
Swearing endlessly to himself, Dokgo Ryeong headed down to the brothel’s first floor.
When he spotted the Lecher sitting in the distance, Dokgo Ryeong shouted,
“Fuck! Hey, Lecher!”
“Miss Dokgo… You’re awake.”
“Th-that… Fuck…!”
“…It’s good to see you looking so lively. If only you’d cut out the swearing.”
“T-tonight, sleep with me!!”
Clatter.
“R-Ryeong, dear?”
“Anyway! I said it, okay?! Fuck!”
When Dokgo Ryeong spun around and left, Wi Ilcheong and the other two were left dumbfounded.
“Uh… Sister Sohyeon. That’s what I think it is, right?”
“…Seems like it.”
“…”
When Baekri Sohyeon and Eun Gwan-yeong looked at Wi Ilcheong, he waved his hands in denial.
“I have no idea what this is about.”
Just then, Eun Yak-byeok came out, passing Dokgo Ryeong on her way.
“Young Master Wi, did you hear what happened?”
“…Sect Leader, did you perhaps do something…?”
“Oh, I didn’t do anything at all.”
“…”
Eun Yak-byeok naturally sat beside him and said,
“You remember Miss Dokgo’s condition yesterday, don’t you?”
“…Yes. Why?”
“It seems Young Master Wi will have to step in.”
“Me?”
“Please take Miss Dokgo’s virginity.”
“Is that what Miss Dokgo wants?”
“Pardon?”
Looking at Eun Yak-byeok’s flustered expression, Wi Ilcheong replied,
“I made a promise to Miss Dokgo. I won’t take her virginity until I’ve fulfilled our agreement.”
“Of course I know. I’m asking you to move that time up a little.”
“That’s why I’m asking. Is this what Miss Dokgo wants?”
“…”
Looking at Wi Ilcheong’s resolute expression, Eun Yak-byeok furrowed her brow slightly.
‘Honestly, what an exasperating man!’
Eun Yak-byeok let a little inner energy seep into her voice as she spoke with a hint of irritation.
“If we’re not careful, Miss Dokgo’s life could be in danger.”
“A woman’s chastity is something she may value more than her life.”
“…Are you really going to be like this? You only have to sleep beside her.”
“I have no objection to sleeping beside her. Miss Dokgo said that herself, so it’s fine. But I have no intention of taking her virginity.”
“Are you going to start talking about love again?”
“…”
Wi Ilcheong looked at the Hao Sect Leader in silence for a moment, then smiled and stood up.
“I’ll be going ahead. Miss Baekri, Miss Eun, I’m sorry, but I’ll have to sleep with Miss Dokgo tonight.”
“Sure, that’s fine.”
“That’s fine with me, too.”
Watching Wi Ilcheong get up and head outside, Eun Yak-byeok sighed.
“…The martial world’s two most stubborn people have found each other.”
“Pardon?”
“…It’s nothing.”
When Eun Yak-byeok clapped her hands, a member of the Hao Sect came over to her.
“Did you call for me, Sect Leader?”
“There’s someone to be deflowered tonight.”
“…I’ll make the preparations.”
“She’s precious, so make sure everything is prepared.”
“Yes.”
Wi Ilcheong was just as exasperating as Dokgo Ryeong.
But even his patience had to have its limits.
‘I’ll make her so adorable that he’ll lose his senses the moment he sees her and pounce on her…!’
At this point, Eun Yak-byeok had no intention of stopping.
She vowed that tonight, she would make sure Wi Ilcheong pounced on Dokgo Ryeong.
