Half the Technique, Half the Freedom
My plan was proceeding without a hitch.
Dan Yuha came to find me every day as promised. She was steadily doing the clit masturbation I had ordered. Before long, she had completely forgotten that our actions were for treatment and was only enjoying the momentary pleasure. She even said this:
“This treatment… wouldn’t it be more effective if we did it more often?”
She was the picture of a late-blooming thief who doesn’t know she’s been caught. Dan Yuha, who had newly awakened to the pleasure of sex, seemed to think that three times a day wasn’t enough. I wanted to do it ten times a day if I could, but since my body is one, it was impossible.
“If we do that, it might have the opposite effect. If the yang qi overflows, the body’s balance will be disrupted.”
“Is that so…?”
Dan Yuha didn’t hide her regretful expression. Now, she had completely surrendered to me. She hadn’t yet received the Defeat Orgasm, but it was imminent.
Clearly, she was standing at the edge of the cliff of Defeat Orgasm. If I gave her a little push, she’d fall to the bottom of the cliff from which she could never return.
While training Dan Yuha, I didn’t forget to massage Mo Seyeong. She was completely hooked on my massage. At first, she received massages from me under the pretext of checking my skills, but now she was openly demanding them. It was amusing that she was so similar to Dan Yuha.
“Today’s training was too intense, and my shoulders are sore.”
Mo Seyeong called me at exactly the time training ended. Thanks to that, I was freed from chopping wood and heating bath water. Instead, I became her personal masseuse.
“Huuu…! Hng…! Huuuu…!”
Mo Seyeong, with a relaxed face as if submerged in hot springs, now allowed me to touch not just her feet and thighs, but every corner of her body. I could even touch her shoulders, her belly, and even the area around her breasts.
Of course, I didn’t cross the line. Mo Seyeong was like a bomb. If I messed up her mood even slightly, I wouldn’t get away with it. So, conquering her required sufficient time.
‘It’s the same with cooking using difficult-to-handle ingredients; the result is special.’
While slowly training the two of them, I executed the next plan.
The most important thing to me right now was neither Dan Yuha nor Mo Seyeong. Those two were valuable women, but there was something more urgent. Learning the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique from Chu Pawol, the Thousand-Tear Erotic Demon.
And to do that, I first had to get into the prison where Chu Pawol was imprisoned. While training Dan Yuha and Mo Seyeong, I pondered how to approach Chu Pawol.
The Fairy Gate’s prison is in the basement of the main building. And to enter there, a key managed by the sect leader is needed. The sect leader was currently away, so Mo Seyeong was managing the key.
Fortunately, Mo Seyeong wasn’t meticulous. After starting the massage, I entered her room like my own home and stole the prison key. I took it and secretly went to meet Chu Pawol.
The Fairy Gate main building wasn’t particularly large compared to other sects. This is because the Fairy Gate itself is a sect with few male disciples. Including family disciples, there are less than 100 male disciples in the Fairy Gate. The number of male disciples stationed in the sect is just over twenty.
Since I was a servant, I entered the main building without much suspicion. Moreover, the current me is a servant who serves the sect leader Mo Seyeong from the side.
Others didn’t know that I was her personal masseuse, but they knew that I was attending to her. This is the way it is when serving as a servant in a great house.
I arrived at the main building and secretly descended to the underground prison. The underground prison was surprisingly clean. By the way, the servants manage this place too.
The prison is cleaned once a week, and at that time, meals are given to the prisoners. The prisoners’ meals are water and rations, and it’s said that even ordinary people can barely survive three days on it. Since they have to split it to last a week, this place would be hell for the prisoners.
However, this is not the case. The Fallen Phoenix Prison of the Murim Alliance is a place that can’t be said to be lacking in being called a hell on earth. The Fallen Phoenix Prison is, as the name suggests, a prison where even a phoenix cannot spread its wings and falls, and there is no prisoner who has survived more than three years in the Fallen Phoenix Prison.
I opened the prison door with the key I brought and entered. There was a long corridor like a prison, and on both sides were isolation spaces for housing prisoners.
The bars were made of dark steel, much tougher than ordinary iron, so even martial artists couldn’t easily break them. Also, the imprisoned ones all wore thick dark steel shackles. For some reason, since most of the prisoners in the Fairy Gate’s prison are martial artists, it was much harsher than ordinary prisons. The small amount of food was to prevent the prisoners from joining forces to escape.
About half of the cells were occupied. Those imprisoned there already looked like they could be called corpses, with no life left. Actually, once a month or twice, they even remove corpses from here.
‘The smell is disgusting. I want to get out of here quickly.’
According to the servants who manage the prison, Chu Pawol is imprisoned in the deepest part of this place. Even though he is not a martial artist with strong power, because his crimes are bad, he was locked in the deepest place.
The fact that he was alone in the deepest solitary cell was a gift to me. Because I could seduce him without being seen by the eyes of other prisoners. I walked to the end of the corridor and could meet Chu Pawol.
Chu Pawol was an ugly man with pockmarks all over his face, as described in the novel. He was already ugly, but the horrific environment of the prison made him even uglier. When Chu Pawol saw me, he smiled faintly.
“Meal?”
“Chu Pawol, the Thousand-Tear Erotic Demon. Unfortunately, it’s not a meal. I came here for a reason with you.”
Chu Pawol, who was quick on his feet, seemed to have found a hole to live in from my words. His hazy eyes suddenly became sharp, and he straightened his back to face me. It was the determination worthy of the legend of having eaten over ten thousand women.
“Kuk kuk. A reason. What reason for a body that only waits to die in prison?”
“Before that, I should first deliver bad news. You are soon to be transferred to the Fallen Phoenix Prison of the Murim Alliance. You must have expected it, right?”
“What!? Fallen Phoenix Prison!?”
With my one word, hope disappeared from Chu Pawol’s eyes. He would know how horrific the Fallen Phoenix Prison is. If he is sent to a hell on earth where even a great immortal cannot survive, he will surely die.
“Isn’t it a place that suits a guy who ate the imperial princess’s little sister? You brought it on yourself.”
“Groan! Villainous Murim Alliance bastards…. Do you think throwing me into hell just because I ate a few women!?”
“That’s how it seems.”
A mix of anger and fear appeared on Chu Pawol’s face. His already ugly face became even more terrifying and grotesque. It looked like a strange creature from an SF movie. I secretly turned my gaze.
“Hey! You said you had a reason for me, right? I roughly guess what it is. If a man like you came to find me in the Fairy Gate, you must have come because you wanted my erotic art.”
He was very quick on his feet. I nodded.
“Yes. I’ll be direct. Teach me that erotic art. That’s the only way for you to survive.”
“Why should I believe you and teach you?”
Smart guys find this bothersome. They try not to lose out in any way. But in the current situation, I have overwhelming advantage.
“If you can’t believe it, don’t. I don’t mind if you learn my martial arts, but it’s okay if you don’t. But your life is different. Don’t you get the situation?”
“Kuk kuk! If you come out like that, I can’t die alone. I’ll tell the Fairy Gate courtesans about the fact that you tried to seduce me.”
“Haa…! They would believe your words? Idiot. In the Fairy Gate, you are worse than the filth in the latrine. No one will believe your words.”
I turned my body completely. I had to be strong here. Otherwise, the guy would keep dragging me around. Moreover, the guy had no choice but to catch me somehow. After all, he had no choice. Transfer to Fallen Phoenix Prison meant death.
“Wait… wait! I get it! I believe it! I believe you!”
“Hmph. Finally, the head is turning?”
“Yes… Clearly, as you say, I have no choice. Good. I’ll teach you the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique. In exchange, there is a condition. Release me first. After all, I can’t teach you the erotic art here.”
“This bastard is talking nonsense because he can’t eat. Release me? How can I trust and release a guy like you? First, teach me the erotic art, then release me. If not, go to hell. At that moment, the negotiation breaks.”
“Groan! Then how about this? I’ll tell you half of the erotic art. Then release me. Then, I’ll tell you the rest.”
“What? It’s not a love potion or something, and you can’t give half of it like that?”
“My Yin-Yang Harmony Technique is like that. The Yin-Yang Harmony Technique is divided into yin arts and yang arts, and only after mastering both does the full power come out. How about it? I can’t yield any more than this. If you discard me like a used tissue, I have no choice but to die.”
For now, I’ll give in. The guy didn’t seem to want to yield more.
“Well, that’s fine. Yes, promise. After learning half of the martial arts, I’ll release you. But you’d better hurry. Otherwise, the guards of the Fallen Phoenix Prison will come to pick you up.”
“Groan! I get it. Then, let’s start right now.”
* * *
Surprisingly, the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique was a well-established martial art. The basic principles of martial arts, the training of internal energy and external energy, were properly done, and especially the internal energy that handles the qi of nature had a profound principle. Of course, it was solid in structure, but it was never profound or difficult.
Chu Pawol himself was not a martial artist with outstanding talent. He was just a strong man with more stamina than others. One day, he met a martial artist who discovered his stamina and received the transmission of the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique. And by training it, he obtained the alias Thousand-Tear Erotic Demon.
‘The content in the original novel is roughly that.’
What was important to me now was not how this guy learned the erotic art. I was going to learn it.
“The yang art strengthens the male’s essence, and the yin art strengthens the female’s essence. That’s why if the yin and yang arts are separated, the effect of the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique is halved.”
“The principle isn’t difficult.”
“As I said, just operate the internal energy. There’s no need for a lot. After all, this erotic art was created for people with little stamina.”
In other words, it’s a martial art that even people without talent can learn. However, because of that, there is a clear limit. Since the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique ultimately has erotic art as its root, the more you learn it, the more it diverges from martial arts specialized for combat. So, no matter how much you master the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, you can become an erotic demon, but not an outstanding martial artist.
‘The setting is like that, but no matter how I think about it, there are many techniques that can be used in combat.’
I learned the yang art from Chu Pawol for about a week.
Chu Pawol taught quickly, and with countless real-sex trainings, I followed his lessons well. My learning speed was incredible. Even Chu Pawol said with a wry smile.
“You, what kind of human are you? When I first learned it, I wasn’t this fast. How many women have you eaten so far?”
“Kikik! I’m more about quantity than quality.”
In a week, I learned all the yang art.
“This is the end. You have now mastered the yang art of the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique. The yang and yin of the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique have the power to attract each other. Once you master one, the other can be learned much more easily. Well, I’ve done my part. As promised, release me.”
Chu Pawol demanded release boldly. Of course, I had no intention of releasing this guy. In fact, I had no intention of keeping this guy alive. It’s basic etiquette to gag a guy after sucking out all the marrow. I didn’t kill him immediately because there was still marrow left to suck out.
“Wait. I want to do that too, but it’s impossible.”
“What…? What do you mean!? What kind of talk is that!? Didn’t we make a promise!? I kept my promise!”
“You have a short temper too. Listen to the end. I’m not saying I’ll break the promise. I received a letter saying that the guards who left from the Fallen Phoenix Prison are almost arriving. It seems they will arrive at the Fairy Gate in about four days. The sect leader, to prepare for any mishaps, has strengthened the security. Even if you leave here now, the guards outside the prison will kill you.”
“What…. what? Then, are you saying to just die quietly here?”
“I didn’t say that. Fortunately, there is an opportunity. In two days, the sect leader will visit the Unorthodox faction for the sect’s business. And of course, she will take martial artists as escorts. As you know, the Fairy Gate has few male disciples. At that time, there will definitely be a security gap.”
I lied without even wetting my lips. The Fairy Gate sect leader is not here now.
“...... Then, will you release me at that time?”
“Yes. So wait until then.”
“I’ll tell you, but teaching me the yin art is after escaping. I can’t teach it before that.”
“Do as you like.”
