The Undefeatable Swordsman

Chapter 218. Nine in the Fifth Place (14)

“Who, you idiot?”

“Gi Wol of the Spring Fragrance House.”

While it was meant to be a joke, Baek Jeong-Woo's reaction was unexpected.

“Oh! That's right. You're right, yes. Wow, I really was an idiot.”

“W-what do you mean? What are you on about?”

“There's no such thing as noble or base occupations. A woman's past isn't important. I'm going to get Gi Wol out of there and marry her!”

Baek Ho-Woong’s mouth fell open.

“W-what? Are you crazy?”

“I’m not crazy! You are the one who's crazy. What's wrong with marrying a courtesan? Haven't you ever gone to a brothel or slept with a courtesan before?!”

Baek Jeong-Woo grew louder and louder in excitement, and Baek Ho-Woong, startled, quickly covered his mouth.

“Hey! B-be quiet!”

However, the other relatives had already heard.

“Beast!”

“Tsk, why are the oppas so weird?!”

At this moment, Yeo-Seol, who had heard their conversation, stared at Woo-Moon.

“W-what is it?”

He had a strange feeling.

“Did you also go to the brothel?”

Woo-Moon jumped up.

“I didn’t!”

“If you didn't go, then you didn't go. Why are you acting so alarmed?”

“It's because you asked something strange all of a sudden.”

However, at that moment, Ma-Ra interjected, “It’s because he did go.”

At that moment, Woo-Moon turned pale, and Yeo-Seol's face darkened.

“Hiiiii... is that true?”

“No! I didn't go because I wanted to sleep with a courtesan. It was because...”

‘I went to save those guys,’ is what he wanted to say, about to gesture over to Baek Jeong-Woo and Baek Ho-Woong. However, he hesitated, thinking that it would only look like he was trying to sell them out so that he could “survive.”

Seeing him pause, Yeo-Seol started to cry.

“I can't believe you...”

“I said I didn't! Don't cry! You don't have to cry! I just went to stop that brat over there, the one causing the fuss! Hey, Ma-Ra!”

However, Ma-Ra didn't answer.

Of course, she wasn't lying. Woo-Moon had gone to the brothel for one reason or another.

In the end, Woo-Moon had to sweat for two whole hours to appease Yeo-Seol and explain the situation.

***

The party arrived at the Baek Estate before the sun had set.

At the main gate, Baek Hye-Ryeong and Baek Ju-Ryeong, who had been guarding the family while the main force was out, were there to greet them.

“We're back.”

“You did well.”

Baek Hye-Ryeong smiled softly as she greeted Woo-Moon. She had changed a lot since she was let out of prison.

After unpacking all of their luggage, they headed to the Song Family residence.

“Oh, you've arrived!”

Dok-Du, Rat, and Gwang Ryeok-Gwi greeted Woo-Moon nervously.

“Yes. How have you been?”

Rat nodded earnestly. “We've been great, of course. We've been cleaning every day, waiting for you to come back, Young Master.”

“You did good. And... you can go back now.”

“G-go back... what do you mean?”

“It's been a long time since you committed those evil deeds, and you've lived this quiet life for so long that you’ve become somewhat respectable people. I think it's fine for you to go out into the world and live among people again.”

Woo-Moon could feel that the aura of the three people had become much kinder.

Even the most concerning one, Dok-Du, was no longer a villain anymore.

However, that worrying Dok-Du just shook his head.

“...I don't want it. I would like to stay here.”

Woo-Moon was surprised by his words.

“Why? Weren't you the one who always wanted to find a way to leave?”

“...I have someone I want to marry.”

At that moment, Woo-Moon suddenly thought back to that time.

When he had returned to the Baek Family last time, he saw Dok-Du confessing to a servant and asking her to sleep with him before they died.

“Oh! The girl back then!”

Dok-Du's face turned red. Then, he knelt on the ground.

“I love her so much! I would like to marry her. Please help me!”

Dok-Du, who had taken the longest to let go of being evil, seemed to have changed so quickly because of love.

Woo-Moon’s jaw dropped.

“No way... You mean you’re serious about this?”

“Yes!”

“Okay... Fine, I guess? You know what, don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”

“Thank you!”

Woo-Moon looked at Dok-Du, feeling a weird sense of pride. At that moment, Rat and Gwang Ryeok-Gwi also chimed in.

“W-we don’t want to leave either.”

“Hehe. Even if we were to go back now, we don't know how to survive anymore. After all, we don't want to do those bad things anymore.”

They had never learned any skills or anything of the like. Moreover, watching Dok-Du live a good life, being all lovey-dovey with another servant, made them want such things for themselves.

“Well, if that's what you want, do as you like. You’re welcome to stay.”

“Thank you!”

“I never taught you any actual martial arts, did I? I think it should be okay for me to teach you now, so get ready.”

“T-thank you, truly!”

Seeing how these three seemed to like(?) Woo-Moon so much, Yeo-Seol felt good, making her smile and giggle.

Woo-Moon opened the door to the Song Family Residence and went inside. As soon as the rest entered, Si-Hyeon let out a small exclamation.

Her eyes sparkled.

“I... I'm back. I'm really back now.”

Si-Hyeon walked around the Song Family Residence.

When she saw the picture still hanging in Woo-Moon's room, she suddenly froze.

A strong arm wrapped around her shoulder from behind as she cried. Yes, you're back.”

The two kissed again.

***

It was nighttime, and Woo-Moon was sleeping in his own quarters.

Sss.

Someone came in and lay down next to him.

“Ma-Ra?”

Ma-Ra nodded, her eyes shining in the darkness.

“What is it?”

Although they always slept in the same room and sometimes the same bed, this was the first time she had actually come right next to him under the same blanket.

Ma-Ra hesitated for a moment before grabbing Woo-Moon’s hand and placing it on her chest.

Woo-Moon felt a sudden heat rising from his lower abdomen. An important part of his body swelled and began to ache.

He hesitated as he thought back to when Ma-Ra had been uncomfortable with him touching her chest, but then he figured out what she was up to.

Woo-Moon’s lips covered Ma-Ra’s lips, and his hands carefully touched her plump chest.

“Ah...”

Ma-Ra's lips opened, and a low moan escaped her lips. Her face flushed with shame and unknown excitement.

Even though she never displayed her emotions as intensely as others, that did not mean she didn’t feel them as intensely.

The touch of their lips, the feeling transmitted between her chest and his hands, made Woo-Moon and Ma-Ra even more excited, impatient, and frantic. They simply tore off each other’s clothes.

Ma-Ra, who still didn't know what to do, acted passively, while Woo-Moon, who had now experienced it twice, took the initiative.

Soon, their bodies became one.

“Mmph!”

Ma-Ra let out a groan of pain as her beautiful brow wrinkled.

“Is it bad?” Woo-Moon asked in a worried tone.

Ma-Ra shook her head.

“It’s okay.”

As Woo-Moon was considerate of her, Ma-Ra also forgot her pain as time passed.

About half an hour later, the two of them let out a low sigh and lay down side by side on the bed. Their hands were tightly clasped together.

Ma-Ra looked at the blanket and sheets with a serious expression.

“It’s stained,” she said.

Looking at the bloodstains and the wet bed, anyone could tell what had happened.

When she was about to erase the traces with the Samadhi True Flame, Woo-Moon stopped her.

“Eh, it's okay. What's wrong with people noticing? We're getting married anyway.”

Ma-Ra nodded like a well-behaved child.

“Yeah.”

“But what made you do this all of a sudden?”

At Woo-Moon’s words, Ma-Ra dug deeper into his arms. Her body, smooth and graceful like a silverfish, was perfectly placed in Woo-Moon’s firm embrace.

“Mmm... just because. I wanted to feel it, too.”

She knew that Si-Hyeon and Woo-Moon were definitely sleeping together. She didn't even have to see or hear it; she could just tell.

Finding her cute, Woo-Moon hugged her. He started rolling around with her, touching her everywhere

“What are you doing, idiot?”

Ma-Ra punched Woo-Moon’s chest. As she did so, she lifted her upper body slightly, accidentally giving Woo-Moon a clear view of her chest.

“Impressive!”

Ma-Ra blushed at his words and hid her chest with her hands.

“Pervert.”

The two spent the night joking and frolicking, and eventually burning with passion again.

***

The next morning, Woo-Moon, who had finally woken up from a good night’s sleep, stretched and raised his upper body.

“Ah, that feels good!”

As he said that, the blanket fell down, revealing his well-developed torso. Ma-Ra’s slender body, curled up like a kitten’s, was exposed under the sunlight.

“Sleepyhead, wake up.”

Just as Woo-Moon was about to cover Ma-Ra with his arms and tickle her, the door opened.

“Gege! It’s morning!”

It was Yeo-Seol.

“Uh...”

The pure white, beautiful body of a woman and the body of a man with solid muscles were entangled on the bed.

Yeo-Seol froze up.

Tears welled up in her round eyes.

“Uwaaa, aghhhh!”

Yeo-Seol burst into tears and left the room as Woo-Moon called out to her.

“Y-Yeo-Seol!”

Sadly, since he was naked, he wasn't able to chase after her quickly.

Rat, who was sweeping the yard, greeted Yeo-Seol happily as she ran out with her head down.

“Youngest Lady! Good morning...”

Yeo-Seol wasn’t crying of sadness or anything. She was simply surprised by the sudden... situation she had stumbled upon.

She wasn't jealous of Woo-Moon and Ma-Ra, nor was she disappointed in Woo-Moon. It was just that she was shocked to be suddenly faced with that unknown world she had never experienced before.

Yeo-Seol, embarrassed by her own crying, couldn’t return Rat’s greeting.

Then, thinking that she had to turn Rat's gaze away from her in case he saw her crying face too closely, she used the Divine Frozen Soul Palm on the ground.

She was a bit too flustered.

Boom!

“AGHHHHH!”

Rat screamed as the ground next to him turned into something very much like the northern permafrost.

“Hiiii!!!”

Yeo-Seol, who was now even more embarrassed because of her mistake, ran off into the distance.

“W... wow...”

Rat looked at the icy ground and forgot how to talk.

He fell onto his butt, his stomach churning as he thought about what could have happened if Yeo-Seol had accidentally aimed that palm a little higher.

“Ugh... It’s not only the demon king himself, even his wives are all monsters. I thought at least the Youngest Lady wouldn't be as strong...”

Woo-Moon was a Paragon.

Si-Hyeon was also a Paragon.

While Ma-Ra was “just” an Absolute Master, she was still stronger than ordinary Absolute Masters as she had overcome the limitations of an assassin to reach the Absolute realm through assassination arts.

Finally, Yeo-Seol, the weakest of them all, was only weak relative to this monster group. A Transcendent expert was considered a powerhouse wherever they went.

“I really do live in a dragon's nest.”

Woo-Moon had to sweat once again, trying to appease Yeo-Seol. Fortunately, Si-Hyeon was able to help her calm down before she set out to meet Jo Mu-Jae.
