Chapter 307: The Jegal Family (9)
After the drinking session with the family head ended, I quietly slipped out of the annex and made my way somewhere.
Thanks to the magic talisman, I wasn't affected by the formations, but even with the heightened security after the assassination attempt, no one noticed me hopping over the walls.
‘So this is the Ghost Divine Art?’
It was only a simplified session of Qi circulation, meaning I had just taken the first step, but its effects were undeniable.
I had erased my presence dozens, even hundreds of times before.
But the Ghost Divine Art was different.
The premise of erasing one's presence was the same, but before that, it required me to look at my own existence on a more fundamental level.
It was an unusual introduction for an assassin's martial art, but it was a crucial process.
The ultimate goal of the Ghost Divine Art was to become a ghost that does not exist in this world.
To achieve this, I needed to erase not only my presence but also my scent, my killing intent, and even my life force.
But for humans, addition is simple; subtraction is not.
Just as losing weight requires great effort, erasing something required a process of understanding and knowing myself on a deeper level.
That was the prerequisite for beginning the Ghost Divine Art.
[Erase every sound of yourself, from the faintest breath to the sound of your footsteps.]
Even at the mere 1-star level, not even the insects crawling nearby could perceive my existence.
It was more than worthy of being called a Divine Art.
The reason I could master such a supreme art in a short time and use it so effectively was largely thanks to my body.
[Primordial Body (混原肢體)
Grade: Unique
Chaos and order, good and evil, yin and yang. It is the One Origin (一原) that embraces all.]
The description was still vague, but it was clear that my muscles and bones had been significantly strengthened since I acquired this skill.
Before, performing the Formless Sword Art a few times would leave my entire body aching, but now, I was perfectly fine even after using the 10-star power of the Formless Sword Art.
Even most A-rank tankers were likely a step below me in terms of physical prowess.
My speed at understanding and learning martial arts had also increased. My enlightenment and martial talent must have been enhanced.
I continued to use the Ghost Divine Art as I leaped over the walls.
After running for some time, I arrived at a certain pavilion.
The security here was especially tight compared to other places. There were six masters who had reached the Peak Realm and more than ten first-rate martial artists.
‘Well, I suppose it’s only natural.’
It seemed the Ghost Divine Art alone wouldn't be enough.
Gathering my magic, I cast a spell for the first time in a while.
[Phantom Shifter]
Beneath the night sky, my body vanished.
With the Ghost Divine Art and invisibility magic combined, the guards didn't notice me at all, even when I passed right in front of them.
I entered the pavilion without any difficulty and followed a familiar presence.
‘Is this it?’
Knock, knock.
When I knocked, I heard a rustling sound from inside.
“Hmm? Yeon-ie?”
Creeak.
“Why are you knocking when it’s just us—huh?”
As I opened the door and stepped inside, my eyes met with Jegal Hyang, who was sitting on the edge of her bed.
“Good evening.”
“...Sir Hyun-woo?”
I gave a small wave to her, whose eyes had gone wide like a rabbit’s.
Once inside, I immediately closed the door and cast a silence spell over the entire room.
This way, my voice wouldn't leak out.
“How did you get in here...?”
“That’s a trade secret.”
“...A trade secret?”
It sounded plausible, but in the end, I had just climbed over the wall like a petty thief.
Unable to confess the truth, I brushed it off with an awkward laugh. I walked over to Jegal Hyang, took off the long robe I was wearing, and handed it to her.
“Why don’t you put this on for now?”
“Ah...!”
Only then did Jegal Hyang realize she was in a thin nightgown. She carefully took the robe and put it on.
I sat down next to her.
“Are you alright?”
I asked softly, gazing at her.
It was a loaded question, but Jegal Hyang seemed to understand its meaning as she quietly lowered her head.
“To think my granduncle was after my life... It still doesn’t feel real.”
Her heavy, sunken voice trembled faintly.
It was a natural reaction.
Few people in the world could calmly accept the fact that a family member had tried to harm them.
“I feel like I’m wandering through a nightmare I can’t wake up from. He was the one who always said that helping the weak and punishing the wicked was the destiny of a martial artist walking the righteous path...”
“That old... the Grand Elder said that?”
From what I saw, he looked like a madman half-consumed by a Heart Demon.
The others didn't seem to have noticed, but from my perspective, he was at a very dangerous level.
If Jegal Hyang had died in this assassination attempt, the Grand Elder would have been completely consumed by his Heart Demon, turned into a Demonic Human, and undoubtedly massacred the people of his own family.
While a martial artist who learns demonic arts is commonly called a Demonic Human, one consumed by a Heart Demon is also called the same.
I could say with certainty that the latter was overwhelmingly more dangerous.
A master who had unleashed not only his potential but also his innate true Qi would go on an indiscriminate killing spree.
I didn't know why the Grand Elder of the Jegal Family had been pushed to such a state, but it wasn't really my business.
Since he tried to assassinate his direct-line granddaughter, beheading was a certainty. Even if not, he would receive a punishment of equal severity.
But Jegal Hyang was different.
Even if he was the mastermind behind the assassination, to her, Jegal Tak was still her granduncle.
“My granduncle was known by the title Sounjihyeop. He always wore a smile and extended a helping hand to the people of Yangyang. A few years ago, he even established Onyudang to care for the orphans on the street. And yet, he himself was so frugal he would save even the clothes he always wore.”
I didn't rashly agree that Jegal Tak had been a good person.
Whatever his past, he was just a madman who tried to assassinate his grandniece.
I simply listened to Jegal Hyang's story in silence.
For someone like me, who had no talent for comforting others, this was the best I could do.
“Did my granduncle hate me? Enough to hire an assassin to kill me...?”
Swoosh.
I pulled Jegal Hyang, who looked like she was about to burst into tears, into an embrace.
She came into my arms without any resistance. I looked at her and smiled gently.
“My lady, did you know?”
“Yes...?”
Thump.
I leaned over, laying Jegal Hyang down on the bed.
I brushed her messy bangs aside and met her eyes.
The atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange.
“I received permission.”
“...Permission?”
“He told me to call him Father-in-law from now on.”
Jegal Hyang, still not fully grasping the situation, just blinked quietly.
I took that opportunity to lightly press my lips against hers.
About three seconds passed.
Jegal Hyang’s face, which had turned bright red, began to change with every passing moment.
“I look forward to our future together, my wife.”
“...Hic!”
I may not have a talent for comforting women, but I could at least make them forget their painful memories.
Caressing Jegal Hyang’s face, I slowly moved my hand downward. The nape of her neck, hot and flushed, touched my fingertips.
“My lady.”
Suppressing the urge to grab her breasts, I called out to her.
Jegal Hyang, who had her eyes squeezed shut, cautiously opened them and looked at me.
Her eyes, which seemed to hold a myriad of emotions, sparkled shyly.
“There are many women around me. Will you be alright with that?”
In this world alone, there were Cheon Yeo-hwa and Yoo Sowol, and I couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be more women in the future.
Nevertheless, there was one thing I could say with confidence.
“I will not distinguish between a first wife and a concubine. As long as she is my woman, I intend to love each and every one of them fairly and equally.”
I said it with a solemn expression, but I was aware of how trashy it sounded.
Even on Earth, it was the kind of thing that would get you slapped.
It went without saying in this conservative world.
Honestly, I had come prepared to take a few hits.
“...Ga.”
“Pardon?”
But contrary to my expectations, Jegal Hyang slightly turned her head away and whispered shyly.
“Ca-can I call you... Gaga...?”
Looking at her, flushed as if she were about to explode, I took a light breath.
There were about three hours until dawn.
I couldn't waste a single minute or second.
As I threw off my shirt, Jegal Hyang’s eyes began to tremble violently.
Her reaction made me feel strangely proud.
All that time I spent training my body had paid off.
“Lady Jegal. No, Hyang-ah.”
“Ye-yes...!”
She was supposed to be two years older than me, but no matter how I looked at her, Jegal Hyang felt younger.
Even now, she was frozen stiff, like a herbivore.
“I’m going to undress you.”
Jegal Hyang nodded slowly, like an unoiled machine.
Since she was in a thin nightgown, undressing her wasn't very difficult.
I stripped off even her undergarments in one go, revealing the pure white naked form she had kept so tightly wrapped up.
Large breasts, a slender waist, and wide-set hips.
As befitting a martial artist who trained in martial arts, her body was lean and toned.
“U-uhm... Gaga...?”
“Yes?”
“Th-that... isn’t it... tight...?”
Jegal Hyang’s trembling fingertips pointed at none other than my underwear.
Not only the head but the shaft of my dick was bulging out over the fabric.
“Have you ever heard of the art of anticipation?”
Jegal Hyang shook her head.
I reached out and caressed her large breasts and soft thighs.
“Hnngh...!”
The way her skin clung to my palm was an addictive sensation, making it hard to let go of anything.
If time allowed, I would have loved to spend the whole day just holding her, kneading her entire body, and enjoying a day of rest.
“It’s hard to wait right now, but Hyang-ah will soothe me in just a little while, won’t she?”
Gulp.
The sound of her swallowing dryly felt unusually cute.
“I-I’ll try my best...!”
Seeing Jegal Hyang’s firm resolve, I took off my underwear.
At the sight of my dick, its veins bulging, Jegal Hyang’s face instantly turned pale.
“Eight chi (approx. 24cm)...?”
A chuckle escaped me at her fresh reaction. Taking advantage of her shock, I slowly reached my hand toward her inner thigh.
Squish.
“Hyaak?!”
My fingertips had only just touched her vaginal opening, but Jegal Hyang reacted intensely.
Seeing how nervous she was, I secretly opened my inventory and took out a small glass bottle.
It was the slime mucus I had used before.
After spreading the mucus on my fingertips, I began to stroke the area around her pussy again.
Squelch, squelch—
“Hn, hnnngh, uuh...”

With the sensitivity-enhancing mucus and the skill combined, Jegal Hyang’s pussy started to get wet.
Of course, she was still embarrassed, but the important thing was that she was feeling it.
“Hngh, huu, ahh...♡ Ga-Gaga...♡ I feel strange... Haaang...?!♡”
Squeeze♡
I slowly pushed my middle finger into her vaginal opening while gently rolling her cute clit with my thumb.
I had only inserted one finger, but I could feel an incredible tightness. The intense heat felt like it could burn my finger.
Gently loosening the entrance, I slowly, gradually pushed my finger deeper inside.
“Hyang-ah.”
“Ga-Gaga...♡”
Slurp, mwah, smooch.
The moment our eyes met, we pressed our lips together and began to tangle our tongues.
It wasn't an innocent peck but a passionate kiss. Saliva was exchanged, and Jegal Hyang’s eyes gradually glazed over.
Squish, squish♡
“Hmph, oomph...?!!♡”
As I rubbed a slightly concave spot along her vaginal wall with my fingertip, Jegal Hyang’s hips lifted slightly off the bed.
A smile formed on my lips at the thought that I had found her weak spot.
“N-no...!!”
As my fingering quickened, Jegal Hyang shook her head and tried to grab my wrist.
Of course, I wasn't about to let her catch me.
“Gaga...! Hic!... P-please...!!♡”
Splish, splosh!
Her hips trembled finely as her vaginal walls began to convulse. Seeing the signs of her climax, I pulled my fingers out.
At that moment.
“Haaaaaang!!♡”
SQUIIIRT!! PSH! PSH! SQUIIIRT!!
Jegal Hyang came with a tremendous gush of fluid.
The love juice she released instantly soaked the bed.
“Haa, haa...!♡”
I swallowed hard at the sight of Jegal Hyang panting breathlessly.
Her bright red pussy was contracting and puckering repeatedly.
Sschlick—
I rubbed her vaginal opening with my mucus-coated dick.
It was still so tight it seemed like it could barely fit two fingers, but I paid it no mind and pushed my hips forward.
“Ga-Gaga... N-not now, I can’t...?!♡”
Schluuurp!!
Despite Jegal Hyang’s efforts to stop me with her trembling arms, the head of my dick forced her pussy open and pushed its way inside.

[Sexual Intercourse Bonus +100%]
“Huuuugh...?!!♡”
A low moan of pain definitely echoed out, but it seemed to be mixed with a sweet tone.
Soon, something blocked the head of my dick.
It was her hymen.
Riiip!
Without a moment's hesitation, I broke through her hymen and pushed my dick in. It wouldn't have been strange at all for her to cry from the pain of defloration.
But at that moment.
“Hauuuugh?!!♡”
Jegal Hyang reached a grand climax and came.
Ting—
[You, who saved the beautiful young lady from the clutches of assassins, are a true hero! But you, who mercilessly fucked the lady you saved, are undoubtedly a fiend!]
