Blossoms in Both Hands (2)
"Uh, well. Please take care of me, Paeng Soso."
"Yes. My benefactor. I should be the one saying that to you."
We'd exchanged our "please take care of me"s, but neither of us knew how to keep the conversation going after that, so an awkward silence settled in.
"……."
"……."
The sudden change in our relationship with Paeng Soso. Come to think of it, things had started off with Hong Yeonhwa the same way—doing it on the first night and ending up here. This awkwardness wouldn't last forever, surely.
More importantly, I needed to figure out how to treat Hong Yeonhwa and Paeng Soso from now on. Of course, Hong Yeonhwa came first. I agreed with that. But how could I make her feel like the priority without leaving Paeng Soso feeling slighted?
It was half an attempt to distract myself from the awkwardness, but this was something worth thinking through properly.
...Not now, later.
Tak! Tak! Tak!
Hong Yeonhwa's handjob had been picking up speed ever since I started looking all fidgety.
"W-wait. I think I'm gonna cum."
"Leave it to this lady!"
Leave it to you? Before I could even retort, Hong Yeonhwa swallowed my dick all the way to the back of her throat in one go and tickled the underside of the head with her tongue.
Blurgh—
Hong Yeonhwa slowly pulled my cock out after gulping down every last drop of the semen I'd produced that morning.
Gulp.
Paeng Soso swallowed hard as she watched my saliva-slicked dick slowly emerge from Hong Yeonhwa's mouth. Hadn't she just been fumbling around moments ago, unsure what to say next like I had?
Ignoring Paeng Soso's blatant stare, Hong Yeonhwa wiped the corner of her mouth and thrust out her ample breasts like it was no big deal.
"It's a bit thinner than yesterday."
"Blame yourself for that, Yeonhwa…."
She'd wrung out every last drop, and this was just what I'd recovered overnight.
"Still, you could probably go one more time at this rate."
"What?"
Hong Yeonhwa looked me straight in the eye and continued.
"This lady first. Soso next. That should be enough for now, right? We can work out the details one by one as we go."
"……."
Her words pierced right through the dilemma I'd been mulling over, leaving my mind blank for a moment.
Hong Yeonhwa, asserting her dignity as the principal wife, nodded a couple times in satisfaction at my reaction before yanking over Paeng Soso, who was just gulping away beside us.
"This lady showed you how it's done. Now you try it yourself."
"Sister Hong…."
Paeng Soso's face lit up with emotion for a second before she steeled herself and tentatively reached for my dick.
A slightly late breakfast. While waiting for our food, I reached out and grabbed Hong Yeonhwa's cheeks, soft as glutinous rice cakes.
"Kyaaang!"
She flailed her arms wildly, letting out a pitiful whine—not her usual playful tone, but genuinely pained from how hard I tugged.
"It hurts! I said it hurts! Why would you do something so mean to this lady?!"
"You don't know?"
Hong Yeonhwa hid her reddened, swollen cheeks with her hands and growled cutely. Adorable, sure, but no mercy for that.
"Y-you enjoyed it too!"
"Wanna keep talking like a pervert?"
Handing things off to Paeng Soso had been fine, but she was still inexperienced—it took her forever to make me cum with her hands. The problem was Hong Yeonhwa, who'd gotten all fired up in the meantime and jumped on me demanding her turn below… and then insisted on one more round since Paeng Soso was next.
So yeah, she'd milked me four times since morning.
Thanks to the Sun and Moon Star Cycle Gong, my yang energy was purer and more abundant. My stamina had improved a ton too, but even so, this might've been a bit much. By the end, the vessel I'd carefully formed for my solar yang qi—the container for it—had developed a tiny crack.
Probably because my attainment was still low and I'd pushed too hard. Hong Yeonhwa had panicked and patched it up somehow, but I'd nearly gone into qi deviation mid-fuck.
This wouldn't do. Fine with just Hong Yeonhwa, but now that I had to take responsibility for Paeng Soso too, I needed to find a way.
The Iron King Heart Protection Art boosted not just physical toughness but regeneration too, right? And if I used the recovery effects from Martial Spirit Divine Art properly….
In the end, it all boiled down to me getting stronger. Perfect timing—we were far enough from Hebei Province now, so I could dive back into training starting today.
As I tickled Hong Yeonhwa's slightly sulky nape and stroked her swollen cheek to soothe her, psyching myself up inwardly, I spotted Paeng Soso slyly offering her cheek from the corner of my eye.
"…What are you doing, Paeng Soso?"
"Oh, nothing, benefactor."
She slunk back to her spot with a dejected look. Just to check, I gave her cheek a light tug.
"Ah…!"
Her face lit up instantly, and she nodded vigorously like she'd come to some realization.
What the hell? Was there something I was missing again?
I had no clue, but she seemed satisfied, so that was good. Hong Yeonhwa, who'd switched from growling to purring as she rubbed her face against my hand, turned to Paeng Soso and spoke up.
"Come to think of it, now that you're my husband's woman too, Soso, why not try calling him something more casual?"
"More casual?"
"That sounds good. Honestly, 'benefactor' feels way too stiff."
Not just the title or speech—it always came off overly formal. Hearing that, Paeng Soso pondered for a bit before opening her mouth cautiously.
"G-ge… Gege? Is 'Jin-gege' okay?"
"Gasp!"
Hearing "gege" hit me like a thunderbolt—breath caught in my throat, electricity shooting down my spine.
What was "gege"? The ultimate pet name from all those wuxia novels I'd devoured in my past life! Heroines calling the protagonist "gege" always melted my heart into goo.
And now I was hearing it for real!
Had my emotions shown on my face? Paeng Soso looked way more at ease as she kept calling me.
"Jin-gege~ Jin-gege~"
"Whaaat?"
I didn't even hide my goofy grin, my philtrum stretching as I replied, and she beamed back.
"Just wanted to say it."
"Guess I can't help that!"
My brain, buzzing like I'd gotten an unexpected gift, suddenly sparked with a killer idea. "Gege" was as common in wuxia as Heavenly Demon. But I'd never seen a Heavenly Demon called "gege." Sure, I hadn't read every wuxia out there, so maybe it existed somewhere… but if I didn't know it, it was as good as nonexistent.
But right now? I whipped my head toward Hong Yeonhwa, who was gnawing on my finger like a hamster.
"Mmph…?!"
She blinked her pink eyes in surprise. So damn cute. She did that sometimes for no reason.
"How about you change your pet name too, instead of Soso?"
"Mmph… Me too?"
Hong Yeonhwa spat out my finger and tilted her head, then realized what I wanted—her eyelids fluttered.
"Do I have to?"
"Can't I…?"
A pleading tone and sparkling eyes I'd never tried before—straight out of Hong Yeonhwa's playbook.
"Eek!"
She flinched like she'd been pricked by a needle.
"Ge……."
Her face flushed redder than when I'd pinched her cheek, and she mumbled.
"Ge, ge, ge, ge…."
"Ge?"
"Geaaaaaaah—!"
Her sudden yell startled me into staring, which startled her more—she just gaped like a fish. I patted her back like soothing a kid and said calmly.
"Not 'gah', 'gege'! Try again. Ge. Ge."
"Ge……gege!"
"I'll buy you candy later, so say 'gege' now!"
"Kyukyukyakya!"
Cute, but that's not it! Our bizarre tug-of-war dragged on until the food finally arrived.
I scooped some of my meat onto Hong Yeonhwa's slightly weary plate and asked.
"No need to force it or anything… but why do you hate it so much?"
"…It's not that I hate it."
"Then?"
"It's embarrassing…!"
Wait, then what about Paeng Soso? And she tosses around "dick," "pussy," and "baby hole" like nothing at night now. But thinking about it, Hong Yeonhwa was the type who couldn't kneel and had to squat with legs spread. Her bar for embarrassment was just different.
I wouldn't get to hear Heavenly Demon-gege, but I loved her like this anyway. As I stroked her head and said so, she perked right up, stopped picking at her food, and dug in with relish—enough to make anyone watching feel good.
After slurping the last of the broth without leaving a drop, Hong Yeonhwa wiped her mouth and suddenly turned to Paeng Soso like she'd remembered something.
"Speaking of which, Soso. What'll happen when word gets back to the Paeng family that you've become my husband's concubine?"
"Yeah, I'm kinda curious about that too."
Unlike me, an orphan whose master had long passed, or Hong Yeonhwa, who'd come alone from another world, Paeng Soso had her whole family here. She was just on a temporary runaway—we'd have to pay them a visit eventually. Good to know what kind of guy my father-in-law was.
Pretending nonchalance but focusing intently, I watched as Paeng Soso tapped her chin a couple times, then scowled fiercely.
"Probably… try to kill Jin-gege?"
"What?"
"He won't actually kill you, but he might attack like he means to."
For a second I thought it was bullshit, but on second thought, it was totally plausible. If your daughter, who'd run away over a forced engagement, came back with some rando she'd never mentioned? Especially if he already had a wife, and the Paeng family's precious pearl was entering as a concubine? If I were her dad, I'd clutch my neck and collapse.
Oblivious to our stunned reactions, Paeng Soso balled her fists and declared energetically.
"Don't worry! I'll teach you all sorts of ways to counter Paeng family saber arts so Jin-gege doesn't get hurt!"
"Uh, uh… thanks."
I wasn't even marrying in as a son-in-law, so she couldn't pass down their saber arts proper. And even if she did, I couldn't learn them. But I hadn't expected her to straight-up teach me counters….
