Chapter 309: The Jegal Family (11)
Slap, slap!
“Hngh, ah, ahn…!!♡”
The bathroom filled with steam, lewd moans, and the rough sound of splashing water.
An intimidatingly thick cock drilled mercilessly into Jegal Hyang’s pussy. With pathetically trembling limbs, she barely managed to support herself as she accepted Kang Hyun-woo’s lust.
Watching her, Kang Hyun-woo smirked and roughly squeezed her breasts.
Her pale, soft flesh was ravaged by his brutish touch.
It should have hurt, but instead, Jegal Hyang was accepting the surging pain as pleasure.
The absurd situation filled her with intense shame.
‘N-No, this is wrong! How would Gaga see me…! And I have my dignity to uphold as a direct descendant of the Jegal family…!!’
At her own lewd state, no different from a common harlot, Jegal Hyang bit her lip and glared, trying desperately to resist the pleasure.
In her world, intercourse was a sacred act for a married couple to conceive a child, the fruit of their love.
It was not something where one drooled sloppily and let out shameless moans like she was doing now.
As the daughter of the great Jegal family’s head, she was not supposed to lose her modesty, no matter the time or place…
“Haa, ahn, ah…!!♡ Ga-Gaga, Gaga…!!♡”
Jegal Hyang’s resolve was nothing more than a hollow cry echoing in her mind.
A lewd moan escaped her lips with every thrust of Kang Hyun-woo’s dick.
Her scowl was long gone, her face completely lost to pleasure.
Her dazed, unfocused eyes, glazed over with ecstasy, were delighting in the pain of her nipples being pinched.
‘N-No… This is wrong—’
Thrust!
“Hnnggh?!!♡”
Just as Jegal Hyang tried to steel her resolve once more, Kang Hyun-woo squeezed her breast and slammed his dick into her with enough force to crush her cervix.
Spurt! Spuuurt!!
Her pussy, already thoroughly tamed, gushed out a tide of her fluids as she climaxed from Kang Hyun-woo’s fierce pelvic thrusts.
Jegal Hyang’s slender waist trembled pitifully.
Smack!
“Hya?!♡”
Squirt, squirt!! Spuuurt!!
But Kang Hyun-woo paid her no mind and began thrusting his hips again.
Without even a moment to savor the afterglow of her orgasm, Jegal Hyang had her breasts squeezed, her ass slapped, and her pussy ravaged once more.
This was by no means how one should treat a woman who had just lost her virginity.
The intercourse was far too rough, too violent.
And yet, the most satisfied smile of her entire twenty-three years of life bloomed on Jegal Hyang’s face.
It was as if she had been waiting her whole life for this very moment.
Unlike her peers, she had always been drawn to fierce-looking men. Perhaps, subconsciously, she had always wanted a man who would treat her roughly.
Smack!
“Hngh, ngh, ahn!!♡”
Jegal Hyang began to let go of herself, surrendering to the pleasure Kang Hyun-woo gave her.
Her once-pale breasts and buttocks were flushed bright red, and her swollen pussy was filled to the brim with white semen.
Panting with ragged breaths and moans, Jegal Hyang was ravaged by Kang Hyun-woo all night as the dawn drew ever deeper.

The next morning.
Jegal Hyeon, the head of the Jegal family, announced the punishment for the former Grand Elder, Jegal Tak, to the family members and retainers.
Indefinite imprisonment in the underground prison.
For a vile traitor who had tried to harm his own grandniece, the punishment was rather light.
“Isn’t that too lenient?”
After breakfast, during a private meeting with Jegal Hyeon, I set down my teacup and voiced my question.
“It was a necessary choice to quell the backlash from his followers. If I were to execute a family elder, I would make enemies of most of the conservative faction.”
“You’re the family head, after all. Can’t you just ignore them?”
Considering how much he doted on Jegal Hyang, I had expected him to order a beheading at the very least, not just life imprisonment.
“…Just think of it as a plea bargain.”
“A plea bargain?”
I mulled over his words for a moment.
It wasn’t hard to guess what kind of conversation had passed between the two.
Nine times out of ten, it was information regarding the Evil Alliance, who had collaborated with Jegal Tak.
‘Even the Ghost Valley Master’s memories had no information about who was behind the Evil Alliance’s actions. Did Jegal Tak find something out?’
For them to approach the Grand Elder of the Jegal family and plot the assassination of a direct descendant like Jegal Hyang, the mastermind couldn't be some low-level grunt.
They had to be high-ranking, that much was certain.
“So, you said you’re leaving today?”
“Yes.”
There were about two hours left before I had to leave Xiangyang.
I’d probably arrive in Wuhan by tomorrow.
“I need to hurry if I want to at least watch the martial arts tournament, don’t I?”
There was one month until the tournament preliminaries.
Of course, I had no intention of participating myself, so if I took my time, I had about a month and a half.
‘I’ll have to go to the tournament to see Hyang again. It sounds like it could be fun. Oh, I wonder if Sowol will be there too?’
Since it was a tournament for rising stars hosted by the Murim Alliance, it was highly likely the Mount Hua Sect would attend.
If so, Yoo Sowol would almost certainly participate.
Unless her master, Daoist Hyunseo, was completely blind, there was no way she wouldn't recognize the extent of Yoo Sowol’s talent.
“I’ve said this time and again, but you must not participate.”
“…Aren’t you treating me like some kind of plague?”
Did he really think I would go show off my strength at a playground for little kids?
What did he take me for?
“I’m begging you. If you were to participate, the rising stars of the Orthodox Faction might all suffer from Qi Deviation.”
“…You think so?”
“I’m saying it because I’m certain it would happen.”
At Jegal Hyeon’s conviction-filled words, I said nothing and simply sipped my tea.
Clink.
Setting down my teacup, I rose from my seat.
“It seems I should get going. Please excuse me.”
“Hm? There’s still quite some time before the boat departs, isn’t there?”
“I still have someone to say goodbye to.”
“…”
Grind.
Jegal Hyeon ground his teeth, apparently knowing exactly who I meant.
‘…How absurd.’
He was the one who gave me permission.
Still, I didn’t let my feelings show. He was, after all, my future father-in-law.
For the record, my future mother-in-law was currently in another region, not Xiangyang. I supposed I’d have a chance to meet her someday.
“…Before you go, keep one thing in mind.”
Jegal Hyeon stopped me as I was about to leave.
The atmosphere grew heavy, and I sat back down, my expression serious.
“I will listen attentively.”
“Hyang is still young. So, no matter what happens, do not cross the line before the wedding.”
“? But I’m younger than her.”
Grind—
“…I will take it to heart.”
Feeling an unusual wave of Qi, I quickly nodded.
If he found out we had already crossed the line, the entire Jegal family would surely come to kill me.
I bowed my head appropriately and was about to leave the room when he spoke again.
“Aren’t you going to check this?”
“Pardon?”
Jegal Hyeon tapped the box beside him with a displeased look.
“The Baekhyangokroju wine. I’ve put in all that was left in the family.”
“Oh.”
I immediately opened the lid of the box.
Inside, nearly thirty exquisite bottles of wine, emitting a brilliant color, were carefully packed.
I wanted to put them in my inventory right away, but with him watching, I decided to just take the box.
However, Jegal Hyeon stopped me.
“I’ll tell a servant to load the box onto the boat, so you don’t need to take it now.”
“Thank you.”
The boat I would be taking to Wuhan today belonged to the Jegal family’s merchant guild.
Thanks to that, I was able to delay the departure time and relax.
“Ah, right. Could I possibly ask for one more thing?”
“Hm? What is it?”
“If it’s not too much trouble, could you spare a couple of elixirs that are good for women?”
Noel and Jeon Seoha. The previous night, when Jegal Hyeon had mentioned elixirs, I hadn’t thought of them.
As physical fighters, they would desperately need elixirs.
Besides, the elixirs in this world were of much higher quality than those on Earth, so it would be useful to stock up when I had the chance.
“Elixirs good for women? Are you planning to give them to the young lady traveling with you?”
“…Well, something like that.”
I answered vaguely.
If I told him there were other women, I had a feeling the old man might actually draw his sword.
Jegal Hyeon, still looking displeased, reluctantly nodded.
“I’ll tell the general manager to pack some suitable elixirs and have them loaded onto the boat.”
“Thank you!”
My mood brightened at the thought of saving money on elixirs.
“Ah, by any chance, a hundred-year-old snow ginseng as well…”
“Get out!”
At Jegal Hyeon’s thunderous command, I hastily exited the room.
I was hoping to get a ginseng for vitality recovery to give to Iris, but it was a shame.
*
I headed to Jegal Hyang’s quarters, using the Ghost Divine Art and invisibility magic to slip past the guards.
Opening the familiar door, I saw Jegal Hyang lying in bed.
“Yeon-i?”
Sensing a presence, Jegal Hyang tried to sit up, but her body must have been in poor condition, as she collapsed back onto the bed.
I sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her back.
“Does your back still hurt?”
“…Gaga?”
Jegal Hyang’s face brightened noticeably the moment she saw me. I infused her with Vajra Qi.
Woooong—
“Ah…”
The Vajra Qi coursed through her meridians, quickly loosening her tense muscles.
It must have felt quite good, as Jegal Hyang’s eyes softened.
I had used Acupoint Manipulation and given her Holy Water before dawn, but it seemed that wasn’t enough.
Then again, after being so rough with a virgin, it would be strange if she didn’t have body aches.
“Haaa… it feels so good…♡”
“…”
What? Is she trying to seduce me right now?
I repeated the character for ‘patience’ in my mind, exercising my self-control.
Instead, I stroked the head of the somewhat downcast-looking girl.
“Hyang.”
“…Yes.”
“I’ll come to see the martial arts tournament in a month, so you can wait until then, right?”
Of course, according to my plans, it would take longer than that, but from Jegal Hyang’s perspective, it would be about a month.
She quietly nodded at my words.
I looked at the ring adorning Jegal Hyang’s right ring finger. It was a ring embedded with a 4th Circle Barrier and location tracking magic.
It was something I made as a test, so the barrier was single-use.
I wanted to give her something a bit more proper, but this was the best I could manage, so I had no choice.
“…Instead.”
Jegal Hyang carefully rose from the bed and looked at me with eyes full of heat.
Rustle—
She untied the sash of her robe and approached me.
“…Before you leave, could you hold me just one last time?”
A dry laugh escaped my lips at Jegal Hyang’s boldness. I immediately pushed her down onto the bed and took off my shirt.
“I’ll make it so you can’t even get up to see me off.”
Before long, the room was filled with the sound of lewd moans.
*
Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province.
It was one of the Central Plains’ largest granaries and the headquarters of the Evil Alliance, a league of the Unorthodox martial world and one of the four great powers of the Central Plains.
A strange silence flowed within the Military Advisor Pavilion, known to be the heart of the Evil Alliance.
“…It failed?”
“Yes, we’ve confirmed all personnel are dead, except for five.”
The man who received the report from his subordinate tapped the desk with his fingertips, lost in thought.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t believe the result was a failure.
“Continue.”
“All seventy-three assassins from the Ghost Valley mobilized for this plan successfully infiltrated the Wisdom Phoenix’s manor. However, all but five were annihilated by a single individual. The survivors were reportedly taken to the Jegal family’s underground interrogation room; their status is unknown.”
“…All of the Ghost Valley’s elite assassins were killed by just one guy? Even the Ghost Valley Master?”
“That is correct.”
The man felt his head spin with confusion.
The report was just that preposterous.
“…Did a monster on the level of the Three Sovereigns appear in the Jegal family without my knowledge?”
Logically, there was no other explanation.
Assassins fundamentally excelled in ambushes and fighting against multiple opponents.
Even for an absolute master who had reached the Flower Realm, facing seventy-three elite assassins from the Ghost Valley alone would be overwhelming.
“It was a young man.”
“…What?”
“It was deep in the night, so I couldn’t see clearly, but the one who ravaged the assassins with a single sword was a young man who had just come of age.”
The subordinate recalled the scene he had witnessed from a distance the previous night.
A feast of golden and ink-black Auras that filled the manor.
The thrill he had felt at that moment was not something easily forgotten.
Most of all, even though he was a great distance away, he felt that if he had gotten any closer, he would have been instantly detected.
“…Did they take in an old monster who has undergone Rejuvenation as an honored guest?”
“We are not certain, but there was a report that a man and a woman entered the Jegal family with the Wisdom Phoenix yesterday afternoon.”
“Tsk.”
The man clicked his tongue, a rare show of emotion.
Divine Strategist Jegal Hyeon.
The current Chief Strategist of the Murim Alliance was one of the most troublesome figures for the Evil Alliance.
The damage the Evil Alliance had suffered from Jegal Hyeon’s strategies was beyond imagination, to the point where he was designated the number one elimination target alongside the Murim Alliance Leader.
The Murim Alliance seemed to be aware of this, as Jegal Hyeon was always protected by their elite forces.
That was why the man had devised a plan.
If you can’t kill the king, then kill the heir.
Instead of targeting the heavily guarded Jegal Hyeon, he decided to aim for Jegal Hyang, who was known to possess even greater talent.
Coincidentally, a spy planted in the Jegal family informed him that the Grand Elder, Jegal Tak, was suffering from a Heart Demon.
There could be no better opportunity.
Stimulate the Grand Elder’s Heart Demon, hire the Ghost Valley assassins, neutralize the Jegal family’s formations, and assassinate Jegal Hyang.
It was a plausible plan, but it had come to nothing due to the absurd variable of an old monster who had undergone Rejuvenation.
‘…If a phoenix is blessed with strong luck, there’s nothing you can do.’
Considering the time and resources invested, it was a painful failure, but the man, mentally running the numbers, decided to give up cleanly.
It was obvious that Jegal Hyang’s security would be strengthened after this incident.
A clumsy assassination attempt would carry a high risk of getting caught.
‘Investing more in a single girl won’t even get me my principal back.’
The man ordered his subordinate to withdraw the surveillance on Jegal Hyang and instead investigate the unidentified master who had annihilated the Ghost Valley assassins.
“Recruit him if possible.”
“…The Alliance or the Cult?”
“That’s for the field agent to decide.”
At the man’s command, the subordinate bowed his head and left the room.
Afterward, the man, now alone, opened a desk drawer.
Inside was a small wooden box.
Click.
With a pleased expression, the man opened the box and salivated at the sight of the red elixir pill inside.
“My, my… should I have given the Ghost Valley Master a few Blood Explosion Pills?”
The eyes of the man muttering to himself glowed with an eerie red light.
