Chapter 8 (5)
"Heh heh heh. Well, shall we head back to the city now?"
"......."
Eun So-hye, dirtied by the semen on her face and the fluids pouring from her anus, staggered weakly with a look of shock.
Even when Jin Cheon washed the semen off her body, and even when he dressed her, Eun So-hye's eyes, which had lost their spirit and gone limp, were dead with despair.
Grip!
"Kya-heung!"
Just then, when Jin Cheon grabbed her buttocks firmly, Eun So-hye's sensitized body, which had been reaching climax without rest, reacted.
"If you want to go back to the city and tell the truth, feel free. I'll confess everything too, without a single lie."
"!!"
Eun So-hye's dead eyes began to shake at Mach speed.
"But if you don't say anything, I'm just a passing martial artist who saved you and your man from an attack. You know what I mean, right?"
"...Yes....... I... understand......."
"Good, that's a good girl."
"Eung-eut......."
Squish- squish-
Every time her buttocks changed shape under the man's rough hands, Eun So-hye could feel her arousal flowing down between her legs.
It was the result of continuous conditioning.
If this sensation were maintained for a few months, a female who couldn't live without a cock would be complete.
"Right, let's go."
Jin Cheon hoisted the body of Kang Cheon-ung, whose face he had wiped clean with the remaining water, onto his back and moved in the direction of the city.
'Gaga.......'
Eun So-hye, whose body had been thoroughly defiled in just one day, followed behind Jin Cheon and made a vow in her heart.
'I must forget about this day......! Once I get inside, the people from the Medicine King Sect and the Jeongmumae will be there, so that man won't be able to treat me so recklessly!'
Because the two groups were together for some reason, she would be able to forget this nightmare as soon as she entered Wuchang.
No, she definitely would.
As they were moving toward Wuchang, one of the major cities in Hubei, they spotted several figures illuminated by the moonlight running toward them from afar.
They were all running with movements that surpassed those of ordinary people, suggesting they were martial artists.
"Eun So-hye-nim!"
"It's Eun So-hye-nim!"
On top of that, they even had the eyesight to recognize faces in the dark.
'Huh. I've seen these outfits somewhere.'
Jin Cheon felt that the outfits of those approaching him were familiar.
And then, he met the owner of a voice that couldn't help but be familiar.
"Eun So-hye-nim! Are you safe... Jin Cheon......?"
"Oh? Hong Seol-rin?"
He had reunited with Hong Seol-rin, whom he had parted ways with in Chang'an a year ago.
"Everyone... sob......."
And Eun So-hye, whose heart had been weakened by various shocks, finally burst into tears as she felt a sense of relief.
"...So, you can tell at a glance who the bad guy is, right? I'm not exactly a saint, but I'm not the type to ignore a woman being raped, so I helped."
Jin Cheon, who had gone to the inn that the Jeongmumae had paid a large sum to use exclusively, explained everything he had experienced to the middle-aged men from the Jeongmumae.
Of course, he exquisitely left out the part where he had threatened Eun So-hye.
-It is the same as what we heard from that child, So-hye.-
-His personality is frivolous, but it is fortunate that he knows at least the basic principles of propriety.-
Gu Seol-bae, an elder of the Medicine King Sect, shared telepathy with Vermilion Bird Unit Leader Jin-woo-cheong, relieved by Eun So-hye's safety.
Since Hong Seol-rin, who had been promoted from Squad Leader No. 3 to Squad Leader No. 2 while honing her skills, was acquainted with Jin Cheon, she informed them that Jin Cheon was a ronin.
Furthermore, because Eun So-hye's experience and Jin Cheon's claims were almost identical, and the fact that Jin Cheon had saved Kang Cheon-ung, they were looking at him with somewhat favorable eyes.
Kang Cheon-ung had become a lay disciple of the Wudang Sect due to his duty as the eldest son who had to inherit the family, but he was one of the promising figures who had received training similar to that of a first-generation disciple because of his outstanding talent.
On top of that, since Kang Cheon-ung's family was one of the wealthiest in Hubei and exerted strong influence by providing charity for the people and supporting the Medicine King Sect, there must have been political reasons as well.
In any case, they had to express their gratitude since he had treated Kang Cheon-ung and saved even Eun So-hye.
If the two of them had died, the Jeongmumae would have had to take responsibility for this incident.
Even if the reason was Eun So-hye's stubbornness in secretly moving with Kang Cheon-ung, claiming she would collect medicinal herbs herself.
"Thank you for saving the two of them, young hero. I heard from Squad Leader No. 2, Hong Seol-rin, that you are a ronin. If you wish, I can accept you into the Vermilion Bird Unit."
There are various martial arts units in the Jeongmumae.
As everyone would expect from the Vermilion Bird Unit, the Blue Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise units exist separately.
Of course, there are other martial arts units besides those, but the Vermilion Bird Unit is quite famous as a martial arts unit composed of young and talented people.
"I apologize, but I am living as a ronin, wandering the world to train myself and live freely. I will accept requests to fight alongside you, but I do not wish to join the Jeongmumae."
Jin Cheon, who was acting very gently and softly, unlike his usual self.
'I have to get close to this old man so I won't get dirty looks even if I get close to Seol-rin.'
If he was the Vermilion Bird Unit Leader, he was clearly the person who commanded the entire Vermilion Bird Unit.
For Jin Cheon, who planned to condition and conquer Hong Seol-rin, he had to act as a polite young man here just to meet her often.
"I see. That is a pity. To be satisfied with being a mere ronin despite having such skill and medical knowledge."
From the perspective of a righteous martial artist, the difference between a ronin and the Jeongmumae's martial arts unit is like heaven and earth.
'Am I crazy? If I stay in such a stuffy place, I'll explode within a month.'
Jin Cheon, still uninterested in the righteous path route, sneered inwardly.
"By the way, may I ask why the Vermilion Bird Unit Leader of the Jeongmumae is here in person, and why the people from the Medicine King Sect are here as well?"
"Hmm, I apologize. It is a matter that is not yet certain, so I am not in a position to speak freely."
"Ah, no, it's fine. I was just simply curious. Then, I will take my leave."
"I have told someone to prepare a room for you to rest in. Please get some good rest there."
"Thank you for your consideration."
Jin Cheon clasped his hands in a salute to Jin-woo-cheong and Gu Seol-bae, then stepped out of the small room they had entered for the conversation.
'Phew. Stuffy. Trying to match the level of these old farts is exhausting.'
Jin Cheon, who had barely escaped the hell of righteous old farts, sighed secretly and walked out of the inn.
It was because he felt like he would go crazy from stuffiness if he didn't get some cold night air.
'Since it's late, let's get some good rest and then gather information. I need to check everything: why the Jeongmumae warriors are here, why the Medicine King Sect is here with them, and even the reason why Eun So-hye escaped with that idiot Kang Cheon-ung.'
Jin Cheon felt that this situation was the beginning or a midpoint of some important event.
The problem was that because information was scarce, he couldn't tell how things were playing out.
There were other Vermilion Bird Unit members inside the inn, but his relationship with them wasn't deep enough to ask them questions, so simply bowing their heads to each other in greeting was all there was.
As he walked out of the inn,
"You look like you're having the time of your life, don't you?"
Hong Seol-rin was waiting with a somewhat menacing face.
"Huh? What do you mean by that......."
"Follow me."
Before Jin Cheon could answer, Hong Seol-rin gestured toward a secluded alleyway and headed to a place where there were no people.
After moving for about 2-3 minutes and arriving at a secluded spot with no signs of people,
"Heh heh. Have you been well?"
Jin Cheon, wearing his characteristic despicable yet sinister smile, revealed his true colors.
"Hmph, so you're finally showing your true colors. Why don't you show that side to the Unit Leader as well?"
"If you are aware that your personality is dirty and abnormal, you can fake a nice personality. I'm not such an idiot that I can't even do that."
And then, Jin Cheon tried to pull Hong Seol-rin into his arms.
As if it were natural, as if it were a matter of course.
However, Hong Seol-rin dodged his movement to the side.
Jin Cheon made a face as if to ask why she was doing this, as if his hand that had struck empty air was embarrassed.
"Hey, Seol-rin. Have you forgotten the memories of us traveling toward Chang'an while sleeping together?"
"Shut up."
Hong Seol-rin seemed to be very angry about something.
But the direction her anger was directed felt a bit strange.
It wasn't the anger toward a man who had molested her body in the past, but a more intense and strangely directed anger.
'What is it? Why is she angry? Because I left Chang'an and just took off? Or.......'
Jin Cheon racked his brain to find the answer to why she was angry and what part she was angry about, but before he could, Hong Seol-rin's mouth opened first.
"You, you assaulted Eun So-hye-nim."
"......."
'Huh? Eh? Wha? How did she know?'
Unlike his inner thoughts of being startled by how she knew he had slept with Eun So-hye, Jin Cheon's poker face, which he was maintaining as much as possible on the outside,
"The face of Eun So-hye-nim when we first found her was in a state of having reached climax several times. Don't tell me it's not true. You made me look like that several times too."
"Heh......."
He was brutally broken by this line.
That was it.
She had been able to be certain that Jin Cheon had assaulted her through the face of Eun So-hye, who had reached climax repeatedly, and her own past experiences.
Jin Cheon, whose truth had been exposed, instead came back with a counter-accusation.
"Of course. I can't be satisfied with just one or two women. You know what they say, for a hero, three wives and four concubines is the standard, right?"
"You son of a bitch....... You're not a real man, you're trash. You're even worse trash than the Chuihwa-eumryeong I caught."
'Huh? Tears?'
Jin Cheon discovered that the corners of Hong Seol-rin's eyes, who had been hurling insults at him, were becoming moist and sparkling in the faint moonlight.
Jin Cheon, who instantly recalled his travels with her, remembered the lines he had said to her.
'Real man? Trash?'
-Trash trait: making your own woman suffer and using her. Real man trait: cherishing and loving your own woman.-
-And since I'm a real man, I treat you well. The me of yesterday had half a year of sexual desire built up, so I just looked more violent than usual.-
Hong Seol-rin, who was about to shed tears at him as if angry at something.
'No way.'
Did she fall for me?
Just by traveling for that short amount of time?
'Nah, no way.'
No matter how he looked at it, that wasn't it.
To make a conditioned woman fall in love with you, unless it's a special case, you need 'at least' half a year of intensive conditioning.
And that's in virtual reality; in reality, it would have to be even longer.
That was why Jin Cheon could separate from Hong Seol-rin, promising the future.
However, Hong Seol-rin was different.
She had come to know the happiness of a woman and the pleasure of sleeping with a man while traveling with Jin Cheon.
Having always devoted herself only to training, she was unexpectedly vulnerable to this kind of attack, and it had remained in her heart even more deeply than Jin Cheon had thought.
'Is it for real?'
If it's real, then it's real, and if not, a slap to the face would be the end of it.
"Seol-rin."
Jin Cheon, who had suddenly used martial arts to quickly grab Hong Seol-rin's shoulders and push her against the wall, met Hong Seol-rin's gaze with a serious and manly look, not the despicable expression from earlier.
"...Let go."
"At first, I thought it was because I slept with Eun So-hye, but that wasn't it. If that's not it, why are you angry?"
"I said let go."
"If you tell me why you're angry."
Hong Seol-rin could not meet the eyes of Jin Cheon, who was asking her seriously.
'Just smile in that despicable way like before! If you make such a manly expression... I can't look at you.......'
The sight of Jin Cheon erasing his playfulness and asking her seriously was too manly.
Moreover, whatever happened in the last year, his physique had grown and his precisely toned muscles were too dependable.
'Because of you, I've been ruined! Because of you!'
Until now, Hong Seol-rin had lived thinking only of the restoration of her family.
The reason for becoming strong, the reason for living, the reason for fighting.
Everything was for the restoration of her family.
However, because of Jin Cheon, she had discovered a different path.
The path of obtaining happiness as a woman.
She had come to feel the pleasure and emotions that she could feel because she was a woman, thanks to Jin Cheon, whose purpose in life was practically to subdue women with the power of pleasure.
Having lived only for her family for a long time, the abstinence she had been forcibly suppressing had burst due to the pleasure of a woman, which was so sweet and addictive.
'She can't reject me? Is this for real?'
Naturally, he had targeted such parts, but Jin Cheon, who hadn't expected it to be this effective already, couldn't help but be flustered.
If he had taken the lead and dominated the atmosphere, next he had to treat her gently and create an environment where the woman could open her mouth.
Jin Cheon loosened his grip on her shoulders and spoke in a somewhat apologetic tone.
"The reason I left you a year ago was to become stronger myself. Back then, I couldn't even defeat the Chuihwa-eumryeong."
"You could have told me before you left."
"You're right. I could have. It was a mistake born of pride because I wanted to remain a confident and capable man to you."
He wanted to remain a confident man to her.
At that line, Hong Seol-rin's heart began to pound, thinking that he considered her special.
'Wanted to remain a confident man? You could have such childish pride too?'
Hong Seol-rin, who had only seen his frivolous and sinister side, could feel a sense of wonder at his different side, which had unexpectedly childish emotions.
"I'm sorry. Truly. But I didn't abandon you. I intended to seek you out confidently after I became stronger. I mean it."
Jin Cheon really had been thinking that way.
To be precise, it was the thought of reclaiming his woman after becoming stronger, but in any case, the truth was the truth, so he put his desperation into it to strengthen the attack that would open Hong Seol-rin's heart.
'Don't look at me with those eyes! You're a lecher who assaults any woman he sees! Why are you looking at me with such sorrowful eyes!'
Hong Seol-rin was too busy trying to turn her gaze away from Jin Cheon's sorrowful apology, which was serious unlike his usual self.
Thwack!
"Ah......!"
Jin Cheon grabbed her chin and made her look at him.
"......."
"......."
The two men and women, who had been looking at each other for a moment, approached each other as if someone had given a signal.
"I intended to return to you once I gained the power to not be ignored by anyone. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I won't let this happen again."
"You... are a real son of a bitch....... You can't say things like that, I can't be angry anymore......."
That line was the finishing blow.
In the end, Hong Seol-rin's resentment and anger toward Jin Cheon disappeared, and she hugged his neck herself and kissed him.
'Heh heh. This is the price for suppressing all her emotions for the sake of her family's revival.'
Through the sight of Hong Seol-rin driving herself as if exploding with her emotions, he predicted that the backlash of her suppressing her life as a woman because of her family's restoration had popped out.
And the reason that made that backlash pop out must have been the journey the two of them took toward Chang'an.
Jin Cheon, who had predicted as much, responded to her heart by gently wrapping one arm around her waist and pulling her body in tightly.
