Anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition Army (2)
"Wait, hold on!!! Yong-hwa!! Stop!!"
I immediately halted Bu Yong-hwa.
"Hehe. Darling, even in a place like this, you're pulling back?"
Bu Yong-hwa flashed a coquettish smile that differed slightly from her usual cute one, gazing at me.
Throb.
Being a man, my lower half had stiffened under the effects of arousal. She stared blatantly at the bulge visible through my pants.
"Darling... I'm so happy. You're properly excited because of me."
Bu Yong-hwa giggled as she spoke.
"N-no."
No kidding. With a beauty on Bu Yong-hwa's level dressed in see-through lingerie like that, how could I not get excited?
"Hehe. Let's enjoy ourselves today. We have to do our duty as husband and wife."
Bu Yong-hwa slyly slipped her robe down below her shoulders.
Unlike her large breasts, her slender neckline and the beautiful curve of her collarbones drew my eyes involuntarily.
"Yong-hwa. We have to march out in a week. So... "
I trailed off awkwardly as I said it.
"What if I die? If I irresponsibly tie the knot with you now, you'd have to live as a widow. So... "
I had at least that much basic sense of responsibility.
You know, I didn't want to die, obviously, but who knows what fate has in store. The Anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition was no joke—it was brutally tough.
"Really... You always show that sweet side."
Bu Yong-hwa's face flushed bright red at that.
"But on the battlefield, you swing your sword so coolly and look so majestic... There's a limit to how much you can captivate a woman's heart!!"
Bu Yong-hwa suddenly grabbed my arm tightly.
No, I hadn't exactly been majestic on the battlefield. It was more brutal than cool—covered in blood and flesh, slashing away like a madman.
"Hey!!!"
Then Bu Yong-hwa grabbed my hand and smoothly pinned me down onto the bedding.
"Whoa, what kind of strength... "
Before I knew it, I'd been completely subdued by her.
"Nngh...!"
Bu Yong-hwa swiftly mounted me in the dominant position.
Bu Yong-hwa!! She's surprisingly strong!!
Strong enough to overpower me, with my strength over 30!
'If Bu Yong-hwa had been raised as a warrior instead of the pampered jewel of the Hu clan... '
She could've become an absolute monster. No wonder the status window rates her as an S-rank wife!!!
"Really... You tempt me every day!!! Showing off only your cool side!! But you keep pushing me away...!"
Her eyes were terrifying!
"Hey... Don't resist... "
Bu Yong-hwa immediately started stripping off my robe!!
"Nng... So this is how men's clothes work... "
But she was clumsy at undressing. After a moment's hesitation, she just ripped my clothes off with brute force.
Riiip.
The fabric, with its low durability, tore easily with a satisfying sound.
"Yong-hwa!! Calm down!!"
My Bu Yong-hwa was going wild!
"Hey... Just lie there and take it!! You're really my husband, but you make me so mad!!"
Bu Yong-hwa completely yanked off my pants.
"Stop whining and at least grope my breasts calmly!"
She lifted my calloused hands and guided them inside her robe.
Squish.
The soft, warm sensation of her ample breasts transmitted through my palms. Plush and delightful.
It somehow calmed my racing heart instantly. Was this the magic of boobs?
"Hehe. You're even harder now."
Bu Yong-hwa commented on my hardness (subject omitted) and leaned down, covering my body with hers.
Our heated gazes locked for a moment, but then time seemed to slow.
And with that, my reason completely evaporated.
------
After crossing the threshold of adulthood with Bu Yong-hwa in one go, I couldn't help but recall our ancestors' wisdom.
The first time is the hardest. They were right. Once we'd crossed that line, there was no holding back.
That night, Bu Yong-hwa and I entangled our bodies madly until dawn.
Though she'd seized the initiative at first, by the end, I'd turned the tables.
"W-wait... St-stop... Stooop... "
Bu Yong-hwa begged as I toyed with her mercilessly from above.
"You're the one who provoked me... first...!"
"Ohhoook?!"
With zero romantic experience from my original world, I'd devolved into something like a monkey. My mind was filled only with breeding instincts.
"Nngh... Hahyaat... Hyayang?!"
Bu Yong-hwa, flustered yet responding eagerly, made me thrilled as she pleased me.
"G-Give me... a kiss... Hold me... "
Bu Yong-hwa panted, reaching out her arms to me.
"Mm... "
I intertwined my fingers with her delicate hand, then covered her completely, sharing a deep kiss.
"Hnghaaa...!!"
Bu Yong-hwa and I climaxed together, marking a meaningful end to both our twenties.
--------
At that moment.
Guan Yu shuddered at the scene visible through the latticed door.
'N-no way...! This can't be real...!'
For Guan Yu, who had no experience with men, the sight beyond the door was utterly devastating. Despite its destructiveness, she couldn't tear her eyes away. She just trembled, her body feverish, watching.
As the couple passionately consummated, Bu Yong-hwa's gaze flicked toward the hole in the latticed door.
It wasn't her imagination. Their eyes met perfectly.
"Hng... "
The moment Guan Yu saw Bu Yong-hwa's triumphant gaze, an overwhelming sense of defeat washed over her.
She recalled Bu Yong-hwa's words meant only for her: no matter what, she'd never give up the position of principal wife. If Guan Yu wanted to stay by Kim's side, she'd have to settle for second. Those bold words had enraged her, but now they rang with harsh reality.
'No way... This can't be... '
Recalling Kim's usual innocent, bright smile, Guan Yu clutched her head and groaned.
------
The next day.
Bu Yong-hwa and I rose from bed, feeling a bit awkward.
"Ah... D-did you sleep well? Yeah."
Seeing her face red as a beet, I tried some small talk.
"Ah... I didn't sleep a wink."
My face flushed at her words.
"Y-yeah. Right."
Yeah. We'd stayed up all night with eyes wide open.
"That... We woke up too early."
Yeah. We could sleep more.
"That... Wanna go again?"
Bu Yong-hwa, now twenty and awakened to desire for the first time, seemed eager to relive that thrill with me.
No reason to refuse, so we tangled once more.
------
After that, until the Anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition march, I, Kim, lived like a monkey in heat. I'd learned the terror of newlyweds.
I had the coachman train our Kim Squad hard while I patrolled the streets as usual.
Whenever I found a spare moment at work, I'd slip away to entwine with Bu Yong-hwa. We'd start devouring each other the instant our eyes met.
'This is living... '
I realized people in love and marriage lived such fulfilling lives.
"K-Kim."
There was the issue of Guan Yu avoiding eye contact with me oddly... but I'd let time sort it out. Yeah. With the big march after so long, she might just be tense.
A week flew by, and the Liu Bei army's departure day arrived.
"Gongong, Xunjian. I'm leaving Pingyuan in your hands."
Liu Bei entrusted the two, useless in war, with affairs and donned his helmet.
"Take care, Lord Xuande."
"Xuande, be careful."
Xunjian and Gongong waved us off. Reliable enough duo. We headed straight for the coalition's assembly at Guandong without regrets. East of Hangu Pass. Quite a distance from here.
"Yong-hwa. Wanna ride in front?"
Since she always rode upfront, I offered first. I wanted to heal by sniffing the scent of her neck.
"Ah. Darling, that'd hinder your horse-riding."
But surprisingly, Bu Yong-hwa demurred.
"I'll ride behind. Have our Darling guard the front with Sister Yun-chang and Lord Yide. You're a general, right?"
Bu Yong-hwa smiled brightly. She didn't want to distract me in serious times—her own considerate way. She was great at supporting me.
Wife's Love 4
You may not be the master of the world, but in the small world of your household, you are none other than the king. Through your wife's love, you gain tremendous power.
All Stats +5
Skill Proficiency EXP Gain +20%
Her love granted me a buff—proof her support was top-tier. Dividing people by rank felt harsh, but S-grade was no joke; the buff was powerhouse.
"... "
But it wasn't purely innocent support. Bu Yong-hwa glanced at Guan Yu with an oddly warm smile.
"Ahem."
Guan Yu, receiving that gaze, quickly turned her head.
"Kim. Let's go."
Guan Yu seemed to shake off her awkwardness toward me, gesturing with her eyes as she spoke.
"Ah. Sure, sis."
I rode beside Guan Yu as usual, glancing her way. She looked like she had something to say.
"Kim. Do you know about King Wu of Zhou?"
Guan Yu suddenly brought up classical history.
"Ah. The king who founded the Zhou Dynasty, right?"
A sage king in Chinese lore, famed for starting the Zhou era when commoners lived best.
"Yes. Do you know the story of how, when he was an ordinary man, he took two wives?"
Sis Guan Yu launched into history.
"Ah. Yeah."
Both wives were stunning beauties, sisters who got along perfectly. The ideal harem setup, maybe.
"Yes. So taking multiple wives works if done right. Don't you think? As long as they get along."
Guan Yu said.
"Ah... Sure."
But realistically, tough. Women rivals breed jealousy.
Why was Guan Yu bringing this up?
"Will you... only take one wife, Kim?"
Then she hit me with a sudden question.
"N-no... Sis, I just consummated with Yong-hwa last night. Thinking of another wife now would be too much."
Yeah. That'd make me a total scumbag.
"What if Yong-hwa permitted it?"
But Guan Yu pressed persistently.
What's with sis? My nape prickled ominously.
--------
After that baffling chat with Guan Yu, we bantered idly with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei or rested to pass the boredom.
Days later.
We arrived at Guandong.
The morale here soared sky-high. Massive troops lined up, kicking up dust in frantic activity. It felt like something huge was brewing.
"Hmm. All the heroes of this world gathered in one place!!"
Liu Bei sighed in awe, high on the vibe.
"Then let's go!!!"
Liu Bei spurred his horse toward the coalition outpost entrance.
Just as we tried to enter boldly.
"Who goes there!!!!"
"State your affiliation and status!!!"
Soldiers bellowed rudely, blocking our army with spears and swords.
One could call it dutiful guarding, but their sneers were unmistakable.
They'd sized up our small force and ragged look and decided to dismiss us. Bruised my pride.
"... "
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces soured fast.
"I am Liu Bei, courtesy name Xuande, a lowly county magistrate of Pingyuan in You Province. As kin of the Han imperial house, I lead volunteers."
But Liu Bei smiled calmly with a poker face. Impressive how his expression never cracked. The guy's a natural.
"Huh? Liu Bei? Never heard of him."
"Ah... Some lucky punks who eked out merits against the Yellow Turbans, maybe."
The soldiers immediately talked down to us.
Pingyuan magistrate wasn't low rank, but the coalition drew governors at minimum or realm-famous celebs. We were small fry. Hence the utter disdain.
"These bastards... "
Zhang Fei's rat-whiskers quivered with rage.
"Brother Xuande. Let's go. Why bother talking to these petty fools."
Guan Yu's motivation evaporated too.
"... "
Yet Liu Bei kept beaming serenely at the soldiers. Like his smile was glued on.
But I saw it. His earlobes trembling faintly. Proof Liu Bei was pissed.
