Chapter 400: Don't You Hear This Often? That You're Insolent.
Beautiful, white breasts.
Thump.
A large hand was placed over them.
Knead, knead.
The hand began to playfully massage the beautiful, white mounds.
As they were squeezed, the breasts shifted and changed shape according to the movement of the fingers.
"…Stop touching them."
Tang Seo-yoon scolded the lecherous hand that was kneading her chest as if it were a toy.
"I like how soft they feel."
Hearing her words, Sun-woo spoke with a faint smirk.
"…You touched them plenty yesterday."
Tang Seo-yoon’s face turned as red as a ripe persimmon as she spoke.
Squeeze, squeeze.
"I want to touch them more… more… more…"
Ignoring her embarrassment, Sun-woo began to massage her breasts even more vigorously.
"Haah… I… ah… I have to work…"
Tang Seo-yoon let out a feverish moan, seemingly aroused by the rougher kneading.
"Let’s rest today."
Sun-woo continued, slowly sliding the hand that had been fondling her breasts downward.
"…I can’t."
Tang Seo-yoon shook her head.
"Whhyyyy?"
Sun-woo began to pester her like a child throwing a tantrum.
"I have a lot to do."
"Why do you like working so much?"
Sun-woo pouted his lips in dissatisfaction.
"It can’t be helped, can it? I’m the Clan Head’s Proxy."
"Actually, you want to do it more too, don't you?"
"…No, I don't."
Tang Seo-yoon denied it, her face flushing.
"Liar."
Sun-woo continued with a mischievous expression.
Squelch, squelch.
"Even though you’re this wet?"
He then began to poke at her drenched pussy with his fingers.
"Haah… ah… that’s… because you… ah… keep… touching my breasts… mmmgh."
Tang Seo-yoon let out a moan at the lewd sensation in her pussy.
"Anyway, it means you’re turned on."
Sun-woo spoke with a light smile.
"……"
Hearing Sun-woo’s words, Tang Seo-yoon clamped her mouth shut.
It was because he wasn't wrong.
"Sun-woo… ah… I… have to go… to work."
"No, just one more time before you go."
"Mmmgh… I’m already… late…"
"I told you it’s fine. You’re the Clan Head’s Proxy and I’m the Clan Head. Who’s going to criticize us?"
"…Haaahhh…"
Tang Seo-yoon let out a sharp moan, seemingly unable to even find the breath to answer.
Sun-woo watched her with an excited expression.
Seeing her, who had been a virgin until yesterday, losing herself in pleasure made him even more aroused.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of someone pounding on the door rang out.
Frown.
Sun-woo’s face contorted into a deep scowl.
He felt as though a very important ritual had been interrupted.
'Who is it at a time like this!'
Schlick.
Sun-woo pulled his fingers out of Tang Seo-yoon’s pussy.
"Ah!"
A feverish moan escaped Tang Seo-yoon’s lips.
"Who is it!"
Sun-woo raised his voice, glaring at the door being pounded on.
"I’m sorry to interrupt your private time, but you need to come out! Now!"
Geum Jeok-hwa’s urgent voice came from outside.
"What is it?"
Sun-woo asked back politely.
"The Heavenly Sword Phoenix has visited the Tang Clan!"
She shouted urgently.
"What!?"
"Pardon!?"
Both Tang Seo-yoon and Sun-woo asked back in shock.
It was a person they had never expected to show up.
"The heroine Joo So-yang, the Heavenly Sword Phoenix, has visited the Tang Clan. She is currently in the outer guest room waiting for Lord Sun-woo and the Young Lady."
"Why is she here!?"
Sun-woo asked, his voice full of doubt.
He couldn't fathom why she would visit the Tang Clan.
"I don't know! After she arrived, she didn't say anything other than to call for Lord Sun-woo and the Young Lady."
"……"
Sun-woo fell into silent thought.
He couldn't get a read on why she had come.
'Why is she here? I’m sure I told her not to come to the Tang Clan.'
Sun-woo had been clear with her.
He had warned her that if she tried to rescue Lee Ye-seol or pulled any nonsense, he wouldn't let it slide.
And yet, she had the audacity to visit the Tang Clan so openly?
'Why? To announce her past life? To rescue Lee Ye-seol? Or just sightseeing?'
Questions began to bubble up in his mind, one after another.
However, there was nothing he could be certain of.
"I’ll be there shortly."
Sun-woo raised his voice toward the door.
"Understood."
Having finished her message, Geum Jeok-hwa quickly returned to the inner guest room.
She likely intended to keep an eye on Joo So-yang.
"Regrettably, I guess we can't do any more today."
Sun-woo spoke with a look of disappointment.
"…I’m not that disappointed."
Tang Seo-yoon spoke with a sulky expression.
She looked disappointed that the foreplay had been cut short.
'Good grief.'
Seeing this, Sun-woo chuckled inwardly.
Seeing Tang Seo-yoon, whose words and expression were complete opposites, he found her unbearably cute.
"Should we do it after I get back?"
Sun-woo spoke as if testing her.
"No. I plan to be stuck in my office all day today."
Tang Seo-yoon quickly fixed her expression and refused in a calm tone.
"That’s a shame."
Sun-woo replied with a disappointed look.
"……I plan to be in the office… alone."
Tang Seo-yoon spoke, emphasizing the last word.
"You’re working hard."
Sun-woo replied nonchalantly.
"…I tend to forbid others from entering when I’m working. I concentrate better that way."
"That’s a shame. I guess I won't be able to drop by and play, then."
Sun-woo spoke with a smirk.
"…You’re mean."
Tang Seo-yoon whipped her head away as if pouting.
She found Sun-woo detestable for pretending not to know what she meant.
"I’m joking."
Seeing her pouting, Sun-woo smiled and caressed her cheek.
He found her behavior adorable.
Squish, squish.
As his hand touched her cheek, a soft, mochi-like texture was felt.
"Who told you to be this cute?"
"…I don't know."
"Even though you’re over thirty."
"Don't talk about my age."
When Sun-woo brought up her age, Tang Seo-yoon’s expression turned serious.
"…Sorry."
Surprised by her intensity, Sun-woo immediately apologized.
He realized that whether it was the modern world or the Murim, women were equally sensitive about their age.
"Fine!"
Tang Seo-yoon spoke, puffing out her cheeks slightly in a pout.
'Wow.'
Sun-woo couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
The Tang Seo-yoon he knew was never this kind of woman.
She wasn't the type to act cute like this.
But after they had shared their bodies, she had begun to show a clumsy sort of aegyo.
She would puff out her cheeks when sulking or burrow into his arms.
He felt a sense of conquest, as if he had befriended a wary stray cat, and it made him feel naturally good.
"As an apology, I’ll visit your office in a bit."
Sun-woo spoke with a faint smile.
"…You have to come quickly."
Tang Seo-yoon replied in a calm tone.
Pat, pat.
"Of course, my lady."
Sun-woo continued, gently stroking her hair.
Only then did Tang Seo-yoon show a small, satisfied smile.
Seeing that, Sun-woo felt a surge of happiness.
He was happy.
To see the smile of the woman he loved.
Sun-woo was only able to get up after stroking her hair for a long time.
The texture was so addictive it was hard to pull his hand away.
*
Inner Guest Room.
Clack.
A teacup was placed on the table.
"Thank you."
Joo So-yang, receiving the cup, bowed her head slightly in thanks.
"Don't mention it."
Ok-ryeong replied with a bright smile.
She then walked slowly and sat down directly across from her.
Once seated, she stared intently at Joo So-yang with sparkling eyes.
To the point where it was uncomfortable.
"…Is there something you wish to say?"
Perhaps feeling the pressure of her gaze, Joo So-yang spoke up and asked.
"No, I just find it fascinating."
Ok-ryeong shook her head slightly.
"What do you find so fascinating?"
Joo So-yang asked with a puzzled expression.
"Madam Joo’s face."
"…Pardon?"
For a moment, Joo So-yang wondered if she had misheard.
"I wonder just how thick it is for you to be this shameless."
"……"
"If it were me, after causing such a mess, I wouldn't even be able to set foot in the Tang Clan. It’s truly fascinating."
Ok-ryeong spoke with a faint smirk.
"……"
Twitch.
Hearing her words, Joo So-yang’s fine eyebrows furrowed deeply.
She could feel that Ok-ryeong was being as sarcastic as possible.
'Endure it… just endure it…'
Joo So-yang began to mentally chant the word 'patience.'
Was there not a saying that three acts of patience can prevent a murder?
She felt there was no need to get caught up in such low-level provocation.
"I suppose it runs in the family? Come to think of it, your husband is thick-skinned, and your daughter is quite shameless too, aren't they?"
Ok-ryeong spoke words that were nothing short of freezing, a smirk playing on her lips.
Her smile was thick with frost.
"From what I hear, your words are quite harsh. Shouldn't you use more refined language? For the sake of our respective dignity."
Joo So-yang spoke, barely managing to suppress the anger rising to the top of her head.
She was angry.
At the woman’s behavior, which insulted not only her but her family as well.
If it were up to her temper, she wanted to draw her sword immediately and hack the woman’s body to pieces.
She wanted to scream at her to say it one more time.
But she barely held her anger back.
She reminded herself that she hadn't come here to fight.
She wasn't here for a battle.
Rather, she had come to seek cooperation.
In such a situation, she couldn't draw her sword and start a massive brawl.
If she did, everything would go down the drain.
She couldn't afford to take that risk because of such a low-class woman.
She would simply respond with indifference.
"Harsh? I’m just stating facts."
Ok-ryeong spoke, mocking her.
"Do you think it’s normal logic to try to kidnap, kill, and bury someone just because of your pride?"
"……"
"It’s disgusting. You, your husband, and your daughter—all of you."
Ok-ryeong honestly poured out what she was feeling.
She hated the Joo So-yang in front of her.
It wasn't just Joo So-yang.
She hated her husband, Lee Jae-won, and her daughter, Lee Ye-seol, just as much.
To a chilling degree.
In Lee Jae-won’s case, he was a demon who had betrayed the very person who saved his life and committed acts no better than a beast.
How could she not hate such a person?
And the Joo So-yang before her was a despicable human who had kidnapped Tang Seo-yoon out of pride and tried to kill Sun-woo by using her as a hostage.
How could she like such a person?
And finally, Lee Ye-seol was a bitch who deserved to die for hurting the cute Yorang and Tang Seo-yoon out of her own pride.
How could she like any of those people?
Since she harbored such hatred, her words couldn't possibly be kind, and naturally, aggressive remarks spilled from her lips.
"…Grrr."
Hearing her words, Joo So-yang ground her teeth.
She was fully aware that she had acted wrongly.
She had tried to kill people and destroy the Tang Clan out of pride.
From the Tang Clan’s perspective, she had no excuse even if they called her a bitch who deserved to die.
However, the woman before her was not a member of the Tang Clan.
No, even if she were a member of the Tang Clan, there were few who would dare treat her like this.
Who was she?
The daughter of the former Murim Alliance Leader and the wife of the current Cheonmu Alliance Leader.
And was she not the Heavenly Sword Phoenix, once called the Best Among Women?
And yet, how could a nameless nobody whose name she didn't even know mock and ridicule her like this?
And by bringing up her family, no less.
Rage began to surge within her.
'How did I end up being treated like this?'
Vroooooom.
Soon, the Heavenly Moon Bright Wheel Qi began to flicker around her.
Her uncontrollable rage had naturally caused her energy to manifest.
"Look here, young lady."
Joo So-yang spoke, glaring at Ok-ryeong with eyes full of fury.
"Don't you hear this often? That you're insolent."
"I wonder? I think Madam Joo probably hears that more often than I do."
Ok-ryeong spoke with a cold smile.
"There aren't many people great enough to dare say such things to me."
Joo So-yang continued with a forced smile.
"Then let me tell you. Madam Joo, you are incredibly insolent."
"……"
Vrooooooooom!
The Heavenly Moon Bright Wheel Qi surrounding Joo So-yang began to grow even larger.
"It seems I need to teach you what it means to know your place."
Joo So-yang spoke, slowly rising from her seat.
"Oh my, same here. I was just thinking the exact same thing."
Ok-ryeong stood up with a bright smile.
Then, an immense energy began to flicker around her as well.
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
Soon, the energies of the two women clashed violently, and the sound of electrical discharges began to ring out.
Rattle, rattle, rattle!
The furniture inside the guest room, exposed to the energy, began to shake violently.
