Chapter 487: Paeng Ga-ryeon’s Daughter, Lee Gi-yeon
"So, make sure you view him as nothing more than a disposable pawn. Do not show him any interest whatsoever. Do you understand?"
"A pawn?!"
"Yes, he is merely a pawn. A pawn to be discarded without mercy once this succession competition is over... So, keep that in mind."
"...I... I understand, Mother."
At her mother’s question, Lee Gi-yeon replied with a hesitant expression.
She found her mother’s blatant hostility strange, considering the man was a master who had reached the Super-Peak Realm at the young age of twenty-five—someone who should normally be welcomed with open arms.
"Good. You’re such a good girl, my daughter."
Hearing her answer, Paeng Ga-ryeon flashed a satisfied smile. She was pleased by her daughter’s lack of hesitation.
"I will find a husband for you myself, someone whose status is a proper match."
"Yes, I trust you, Mother."
Only then did Paeng Ga-ryeon look truly relieved. She believed that since she had spoken so firmly, the obedient Lee Gi-yeon would not defy her.
‘Why on earth is Mother overreacting like this?’
Contrary to her mother’s thoughts, however, Lee Gi-yeon felt a surge of intense curiosity. She was dying to know why her usually cold, calm, and haughty mother was acting so hypersensitive.
‘I should go see him for myself.’
She made up her mind then and there. She would personally meet this Kang Myeong, the man who had suddenly become the talk of the town.
Unaware of her daughter’s sly intentions, Paeng Ga-ryeon simply watched Lee Gi-yeon with a beaming smile.

"Unit Leader! Is it true you’ve reached the Super-Peak Realm?"
"Unit Leader! Show us your Sword Astral! The Sword Astral!"
The excited voices of the unit members erupted from all sides.
"Later, later," Kang Myeong replied, waving his hand dismissively as if it were a chore.
"Aw, come on! It’s not like it’ll hurt anyone, just show us a little!"
"He’s right!"
"I said no, you punks."
Kang Myeong cut them off firmly and sat down at his desk.
Thud.
Then, he promptly slumped over, face-down.
"I’m going to sleep, so don’t wake me up. If you do, you’re getting five slaps across the face, back and forth."
After issuing that blatant threat, Kang Myeong closed his eyes.
"…For a guy who supposedly reached the Super-Peak Realm, he hasn’t changed a bit, has he?"
"Well, the Unit Leader is the Unit Leader."
"I guess even reaching the Super-Peak Realm doesn't change his hatred for work."
The unit members chimed in one after another. They couldn't help but chuckle at their leader’s unchanging personality—his tendency to find everything except training a massive bother.
"Alright, let’s get to work."
"Yeah, let’s work."
The members returned to their respective posts. Soon, Kang Myeong was the only one left in the office.
‘Hmmmm….’
With his eyes closed, Kang Myeong sank into thought.
It had already been two days since he had clearly established the power dynamic with Paeng Ga-ryeon. Since then, she hadn't made a single move. She hadn't tried to give him money, nor had she offered him women. She hadn't even assigned him any proper work.
She was simply watching. Waiting for him to demand something first.
‘She should be heating up by now, shouldn’t she?’
After waiting this long, Kang Myeong began to wonder. During their previous encounter, he had intentionally leaked some of his Yin-Yang Harmony Qi into her. By now, her lust should be reaching a breaking point.
Yet, it was too quiet. Like the calm before a storm.
‘I wonder when she’ll show up.’
Kang Myeong pondered. Moving first would be a novice mistake. He had to make her come to him voluntarily. The moment he showed any sign of desperation, he would lose the upper hand.
‘Hurry up and come to me, Paeng Ga-ryeon. I’m going to fuck you so hard I’ll turn you into a sow driven mad by lust.’
Kang Myeong prayed silently. He hoped she would arrive soon, disheveled and frantic with arousal, and beg to be taken right here in his office.
It was just as he was wishing for her visit.
Knock, knock, knock.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the office door.
‘She’s here!’
Hearing the sound, Kang Myeong was certain. Paeng Ga-ryeon had come.
"Enter," Kang Myeong said in a calm tone.
Creeeeeak.
The door opened, and a figure revealed itself.
She was shorter than average. Her glossy hair was tied in twin tails. She had a cute face with charming, large eyes. And despite her small stature, her chest was remarkably well-developed.
Kang Myeong’s eyes widened like saucers. He knew this woman. How could he not?
She was Paeng Ga-ryeon’s daughter, the woman he was supposed to serve in the upcoming succession competition.
‘Lee Gi-yeon!’
Kang Myeong’s expression turned grave.
"Oh my, it’s been a long time, Brother."
Lee Gi-yeon’s soft, honeyed voice reached his ears.
Twitch.
Kang Myeong’s body gave a slight involuntary shudder. Back when he was Jang Sam, he had crossed paths with her a few times. Though they weren't close, he had often thought about how captivating her sweet voice was. Hearing it again after so long, he felt a faint flutter in his chest.
"Welcome, Lady Lee," Kang Myeong said, maintaining as stoic a face as possible. He couldn't let it show that he was psychologically shaken.
"Oh, 'Lady Lee'? That’s so stiff. Call me Yeon-ah, Brother."
Lee Gi-yeon spoke with a refreshing smile. When she laughed, she radiated a cuteness that made one want to give her a squeeze.
‘I really want to bite her.’
Kang Myeong’s inner thoughts began to soften. Unlike her venomous mother, her gentle demeanor was incredibly pleasant to behold.
"Anyway, what brings you here, My Lady?"
"My, do I need a reason to come here?"
"Surely there must be a purpose for your visit?"
"Hehe, I came to see you, of course, Brother."
Lee Gi-yeon opened her mouth with a soft smile—a cute expression that brought to mind a small, harmless animal.
‘I want to put her in my pocket and raise her.’
Kang Myeong thought. He really wanted to keep her in his pocket.
"If you have no business, please leave. I am busy right now."
Kang Myeong issued an expulsion order. He had no idea when Paeng Ga-ryeon might show up. In this situation, the presence of her daughter, Lee Gi-yeon, was nothing but a hindrance. It was better for his plan to get rid of her quickly.
"Awwwww… don't kick me out."
When Kang Myeong tried to dismiss her, Lee Gi-yeon whined playfully, her voice full of aegyo as she wiggled her body cutely.
‘Hmm.’
Seeing this, Kang Myeong fell into deep thought. She was definitely cute. So cute it was hard to kick her out. Men are suckers for cute things; it triggers a protective instinct that makes the heart swell. Right now, Lee Gi-yeon was playing those male instincts perfectly—and with very blatant, obvious charm.
‘What a little fox.’
Kang Myeong told himself not to let his guard down.
"No. Please leave now."
Kang Myeong issued the order again, his tone much firmer this time.
"Brother Kang, you’re too stiff."
Lee Gi-yeon puffed out her cheeks as if dissatisfied with his attitude.
‘Ha… I really want to make a joke about having something even stiffer.’
That cute display was a direct hit to Kang Myeong’s heart. He even started feeling a desire to talk to her more.
"I’m curious!" Lee Gi-yeon said, opening her small mouth wide.
"About what?"
"About how strong you’ve become, Brother!"
"You’ll see during the succession competition."
"I want to see it now!"
"I refuse."
"Then I refuse your refusal!"
Lee Gi-yeon replied with a bright smile.
"If you’re just going to play word games, please leave."
Bam!
Kang Myeong threw the office door wide open and spoke to her.
"You won't even take a joke… you’re so cold."
Lee Gi-yeon spoke with a dejected expression.
"Is that really something to be dejected about?" Kang Myeong blurted out, exasperated.
"I can't help feeling hurt."
"…Sigh, fine. I won't tell you to leave, so just make yourself comfortable."
Kang Myeong scratched his head roughly.
Grab!
"Yay! Brother, you’re the best!"
Suddenly, Lee Gi-yeon lunged forward and hugged Kang Myeong.
"What are you doing?! Get off me!"
Kang Myeong raised his voice in surprise. What kind of behavior was this?
"Oh, don't be shy, Brother Kang."
Lee Gi-yeon began to cling to him even more tightly.
Squish.
‘Ah!’
He suddenly felt the sensation of her large breasts against his body. They were touching—Lee Gi-yeon’s ample chest was pressed right against him.
"Get off!"
Kang Myeong grabbed Lee Gi-yeon’s head and tried to push her away. However, she showed no sign of budging. She was holding her ground with sheer strength.
‘She really is a Paeng by blood; she’s damn strong.’
Step, step, step.
Just then, the sound of footsteps reached Kang Myeong’s ears. Hearing them, he quickly spread out his sensory perception.
Vroooooom.
He felt a very familiar energy.
‘Paeng Ga-ryeon.’
It was her. She was coming to see him.
‘What do I do?’
Kang Myeong sank into thought. Paeng Ga-ryeon was undoubtedly visiting because she could no longer suppress her lust. He had planted an overwhelming desire in her with his Yin-Yang Harmony Qi. But if she saw him here with Lee Gi-yeon, she might get scared and run away.
He pondered how to make the most of this opportunity.
Flash.
Suddenly, a thought flickered through his mind—an incredibly impulsive and provocative plan.
"Are you really not going to move?" Kang Myeong asked her, putting on a stern face.
"I’m not moving. So what?"
Lee Gi-yeon replied with a mischievous smile. It seemed she was enjoying seeing Kang Myeong flustered.
"If you don't move, you’ll regret it."
"And how are you going to make me regret it?"
Lee Gi-yeon asked, her face full of curiosity.
Step, step, step.
The sound of Paeng Ga-ryeon’s footsteps grew louder. Kang Myeong knew she was right outside the door.
"Are you sure you won't regret it?"
"Positive!"
Lee Gi-yeon replied with a playful grin. Her eyes were filled with anticipation, curious to see how the upright and stiff Kang Myeong would try to make her regret anything.
Step, step, step, step.
The footsteps were right there.
"It’s too late to regret it now."
Grab.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Myeong looked down at Lee Gi-yeon and grabbed the back of her neck.
Mwah!
He tilted his head slightly and pressed his lips against hers.
"Mmph?!"
Lee Gi-yeon’s eyes widened in shock at the sudden kiss. What on earth was he doing? She tried to pull away, but it was useless. Kang Myeong persistently invaded her lips, and Lee Gi-yeon, dazed by the strange sensation of his touch, eventually surrendered her lips to him.
Step.
Stop.
The sound of footsteps outside ceased.
‘The lead actress has arrived.’
Kang Myeong cheered inwardly. The woman he had been waiting for had appeared.
Slurp, suck.
Conscious of Paeng Ga-ryeon’s presence, Kang Myeong continued the kiss aggressively, making it as deep and carnal as possible.
Flail, flail.
Lee Gi-yeon, who had been flailing her hands to push him away, suddenly stopped moving. She began to accept the kiss. Kang Myeong slowly began to slide his tongue out.
Lick, lick.
He began to slowly lick her lips, gently and deliberately.
Tremble.
Lee Gi-yeon’s lips began to quiver. She seemed frightened by the sudden entry of his tongue. But Kang Myeong didn't care and continued his tongue-work. He licked her lips, pried his way through the gap between them, and then licked her teeth.
Slowly, her teeth parted, and her soft tongue began to emerge. She had felt it instinctively—that she needed to put her tongue out.
Slurp.
Schlick.
Soon, their two tongues overlapped and began to entwine repeatedly, like snakes mating. The kiss had truly begun.
As he focused on the kiss, Kang Myeong slowly turned his gaze toward the door. There stood Paeng Ga-ryeon, staring at them with a look of pure shock.
Kang Myeong curved his eyes into crescents, smiling mockingly so she could see it clearly.
Paeng Ga-ryeon’s entire body began to tremble. Then, she turned around and immediately started walking away at a brisk pace. She had fled the scene.
‘Perfect.’
Kang Myeong felt a sense of satisfaction. He had given her the ultimate shock.
‘Should I wrap things up here, too?’
Kang Myeong slowly lowered his hand and began to stroke her thigh.
"Pwah!"
Startled, Lee Gi-yeon immediately broke the kiss, her face a mask of surprise.
Whoosh.
She swung her palm with all her might toward Kang Myeong’s cheek.
Slap!
An exquisitely crisp sound echoed through the room.
"What do you think you’re doing?! You should follow the proper order!"
Lee Gi-yeon shouted, her face flushed deep red with anger.
Swish.
She turned on her heel and marched out of the room, her pace incredibly fast.
Kang Myeong touched his reddened cheek and watched her retreating figure with a look of immense satisfaction.
