Chapter 533: The Dice Game Lee So-ran Likes
"That is absolutely preposterous!"
Sun-woo raised his voice, his face flushed deep red. To anyone watching, he looked utterly overwhelmed with embarrassment.
"Why is that?"
Seeing his reaction, Lee So-ran asked him back with a mischievous smile.
"Lady, have you no shame? How can a woman suggest such a lewd game!"
Sun-woo shouted, his expression one of pure disbelief.
"Are you afraid you'll lose?"
"Winning or losing isn't the point! How can a man and a woman who aren't even courting lightly expose their skin to one another? If people found out, everyone would point their fingers at us!"
Sun-woo’s face, already red, turned an even deeper shade of crimson as he spoke with heated passion.
"You’re quite the coward, Young Master."
When Sun-woo adamantly refused, Lee So-ran began to goad him. She knew his words made sense, but her desire to see him flustered was far stronger. She wanted to rattle him—this man, Jang Sun-woo, who usually showed nothing but a prickly and rational exterior.
"Whew... Lady... I am not a coward. I am merely being prudent."
"We’re the only ones here, aren't we? As long as the two of us keep our mouths shut, who could possibly know?"
Lee So-ran continued, a seductive smile playing on her lips.
"Do they not say that birds hear the words of the day and mice hear the words of the night? One can never be too careful."
"That’s exactly what being a coward is, Young Master."
She watched him with an amused expression as she spoke.
"............"
Sun-woo fell silent, his face burning. It seemed her mockery had finally wounded his pride.
Good, just a little more!
Lee So-ran cheered inwardly. She felt like he was right on the verge of giving in if she pushed just a bit further.
"It seems the title of the greatest rising star of the Murim was just an empty name. To think such a title belongs to a coward... it doesn't suit you at all."
She shook her head slowly from side to side, acting disappointed.
"Take that back! That is offensive!"
Sun-woo’s expression turned stern instantly.
"I’m only saying what I feel."
Lee So-ran replied with a nonchalant look.
Tremble.
Sun-woo’s entire body began to tremble. It seemed the insult and anger from her dismissal were boiling over.
"Whew."
Finally, Sun-woo let out a long sigh. Then, he looked at her with eyes that sparkled with a new light.
"Fine."
He spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on her.
"I shall accept that proposal!"
Sun-woo shouted with a solemn expression, as if he had made a monumental decision.
"Heh, now you’re acting like the greatest talent under heaven."
Lee So-ran smiled with satisfaction. She was convinced he had fallen perfectly for her provocation.
"However, I have a condition."
"A condition?"
She asked back, looking puzzled. What was he talking about all of a sudden?
"I will not tolerate anyone quitting halfway through because they can't handle it."
Sun-woo spoke, his eyes burning as he stared at her.
"We are going until the end."
He spoke with finality.
"That’s exactly what I want. If you start a bet, you have to see it through. We won't stop until one of us is completely stripped!"
Facing Sun-woo’s intense gaze, Lee So-ran readily accepted his proposal. It seemed like a reckless move, but she didn't care. His provocative words had ignited her own competitive spirit.
"Very well."
Sun-woo nodded, his eyes fixed on her with a heated intensity.
"Then let us begin."
He pushed the dishes on the table to one side to clear a space.
"You go first."
He handed her the dice he had produced.
"No, you go first, Young Master."
She shook her head and refused. She felt a slight pressure about being the first to roll.
"Then I shall roll without hesitation."
Sun-woo gripped the two dice tightly. Then, he tossed them slowly onto the table.
Rattle, rattle.
The two dice rolled quickly.
Thud.
The dice stopped, and the markings for five and six were facing up.
"It’s a five-six."
Sun-woo spoke with a satisfied smile.
"..........."
Lee So-ran’s expression turned uneasy. She was flustered by the unexpectedly high roll.
"You’re awfully quiet. Are you getting cold feet?"
When she didn't speak, Sun-woo followed up with a playful, mocking smile.
"Of course not!"
Stung by his mockery, Lee So-ran snatched up the dice.
Rattle, rattle.
She rolled them onto the table immediately, her attitude bold.
Thud.
The dice stopped, and the markings pointed toward the ceiling. Both dice showed a six.
"Double Sixes!"
She shouted excitedly, her voice rising.
".........Dammit."
Sun-woo’s face crumpled into a scowl. He realized he had lost.
"Hurry up and take it off!"
Lee So-ran urged him on, watching him with delight.
"Fine."
Sun-woo, brow furrowed, slowly raised his hands. He untied the front of his robe and began to strip off his top. He did so without any hesitation.
As he did, his incredibly firm chest muscles and clearly defined abs were revealed. His muscles were so packed and dense that it was clear he had trained his body to the absolute limit.
Flush.
Lee So-ran’s face turned bright red. Seeing his incredibly attractive physique made her face heat up involuntarily.
"..........Urgh."
Sun-woo let out a frustrated groan and lowered his head. He seemed to be feeling a sense of shame at showing his bare skin to a woman who wasn't his wife.
"Are you feeling shy?"
Lee So-ran teased him, finding his predicament hilarious.
"Let us continue."
Sun-woo glared at her with burning eyes and handed over the dice.
"Gladly."
Lee So-ran replied with a faint smile.
Rattle.
The dice rolled again, and this time she got a four-five.
"Your turn."
She handed him the dice with a smirk.
"Understood."
Sun-woo nodded slightly and took the dice. He rolled them immediately. This time, the numbers were a two-six.
"Dammit!"
Sun-woo cursed. He realized he had lost once again.
"Hehehe.... Looks like you have to take something else off."
Lee So-ran told him, wearing a look that said she couldn't help it.
Slide.
Sun-woo proceeded to untie his belt.
"Wait, is that all you're taking off?"
"Is a belt not a piece of clothing?"
Sun-woo replied with a brazen expression.
"Hmm..... I don't really like that......"
She spoke with a contemplative look.
"........Just let it slide."
Sun-woo said, his ears turning red.
"Well, since you're cute, I'll let you off this time."
Lee So-ran smiled and continued. She rolled the dice again and got a higher number than Sun-woo. She had won yet again.
"Wow... Young Master Jang, you’re really bad at rolling dice."
She snickered.
"Is this not rigged?"
Sun-woo pouted.
"Rigged? How?"
"I mean, how can you win three times in a row!?"
Sun-woo raised his voice in frustration. It seemed losing to her repeatedly was genuinely galling for him.
"Young Master, you're being a sore loser. A true gambler should accept the results with humility."
"But......"
"Hurry up and strip. No more excuses."
"............."
At her words, Sun-woo hung his head low. He slowly stood up and pulled his pants down. His sturdy lower body, now clad only in his undergarments, was revealed.
.....Ah.
Lee So-ran let out a soft exclamation. Seeing his well-developed lower body, she couldn't help but be impressed.
What on earth is... that?
That wasn't all. A "mountain peak" that looked like it was about to pierce through his underwear caught her eye.
Is it normally that big?
She soon realized that the identity of that mountain peak was his manhood. At the same time, a question arose. She wondered if a man's part was supposed to be that large.
As she was focused on Sun-woo’s manhood...
"Please... don't... stare... so intently."
Sun-woo began to stutter, his face red with shame.
"Oh, come on, it's not like it'll wear out just from looking... Why are you so sensitive? It's not good to get too immersed."
Seeing Sun-woo’s shame, Lee So-ran continued to tease him.
"..............."
Bite.
Sun-woo bit his lip hard and remained silent. He looked like he was overflowing with indignation.
"Let's go again."
Sun-woo stared at her with burning eyes and spoke.
"Are you sure? If you lose again, you'll be completely naked."
Lee So-ran asked, feigning concern. Of course, in reality, she was just making fun of him.
"Did we not say we would see this to the end? If I back down now, everything so far will have been for nothing."
"Well, if you insist."
A smile played on her lips. It looked like she might actually get to see that massive mountain peak in person.
Sun-woo picked up the dice.
"I'll roll first this time."
Sun-woo spoke in a calm tone.
"Go ahead."
She nodded in agreement. She didn't think she could lose, whether she rolled first or second.
Rattle, rattle.
The dice rolled, and the markings showed a three-four. It was a mediocre number, neither high nor low.
I can win even if I roll carelessly.
She rolled the dice nonchalantly.
Rattle, rattle.
The dice stopped on a two-four.
I lost?
She had lost. She was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected to fail even with a fifty-fifty chance.
"I won."
Seeing the result, Sun-woo spoke with a proud expression.
".............."
"Take it off."
Sun-woo said with a deep smile.
"Fine."
She answered boldly. It was only one loss. There was no need to get worked up over a single defeat. She slowly untied the front of her robe.
Boing.
Her large breasts, covered by her bra, spilled out.
"Let's keep going."
She spoke with a nonchalant expression.
"This is unfair."
Sun-woo frowned as he watched her.
"What's unfair?"
"You have one more layer of clothing than I do."
Sun-woo pointed at her bra.
"Next time, you should wear one too, Young Master Jang."
She replied with a soft laugh.
"I suppose I should. Good grief."
Sun-woo continued with the banter as he gripped the dice.
"I'll roll first."
"No, I'll roll first this time!"
Lee So-ran quickly snatched the dice from Sun-woo and spoke.
Rattle, rattle.
She rolled them onto the table immediately. The dice showed a five-six.
Yes!
She cheered inwardly. A five-six was the highest possible number besides Double Sixes. There was almost no chance of losing.
"What are you going to do? Unless it's Double Sixes, I think I've won."
Lee So-ran said with a bright smile.
"..........I'll have to try my best."
Sun-woo’s face hardened. The high roll of five-six seemed to be weighing on him.
"Go ahead and try~"
Lee So-ran watched him with a relaxed expression. She was certain that no matter what he did, she would win.
Grab.
Sun-woo picked up the dice. He rolled them onto the table immediately.
Rattle, rattle, rattle.
The two dice rolled rapidly.
Thud.
Then they came to a complete stop.
"What!?"
A cry of shock escaped Lee So-ran’s lips. An unbelievable situation had unfolded before her eyes.
Both dice were pointing to six. He had actually rolled Double Sixes.
"....How... can this be..."
She looked utterly despondent.
"Lady Lee."
Sun-woo’s voice reached her ears. She slowly raised her gaze to look at him.
"Take it off."
Sun-woo spoke as he watched her with an amused expression. A deep smile was etched on his face.
Grit.
Facing that smile, Lee So-ran gritted her teeth. His relaxed demeanor felt incredibly irritating.
