Chapter Title: Radiant Ascension Path
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Me and Sung Ji-gon were summoned by the Meteor Sword Sect Lord, Sung Go-dan.
We told Sung Go-dan and the elders about what had happened at the Ahyeon Clan. We'd anticipated the questions in advance and gotten our stories straight before arriving at the Meteor Sword Sect. Naturally, we kept quiet about the spirit medicines, and we glossed over the bandits too.
Sung Go-dan and the elders listened to our account, then dismissed us right there from the meeting hall. Before we left, they carried on with their discussion as if we weren't even worth considering. It wasn't how you'd treat the sect lord's sons.
'I don't acknowledge those bastards as my parents, so they can ignore me all they want...'
I glanced sideways at Sung Ji-gon beside me.
The mood was gloomy. Sung Ji-gon wanted his father Sung Go-dan's attention as a son. But to Sung Go-dan, I or Sung Ji-gon were just two among many children.
"Does Sung Go-dan bother you?"
"You don't think of him as your father, do you, Yu-jin?"
"I do think of him as my father."
I said it like it was a hassle. Sung Ji-gon gave a wry smile at the obvious lie.
"When we were kids, both you and I tried hard to get Father's attention."
"Did we?"
"I still respect Father even now. He's our father, after all. Seeing you earlier, I felt a bit sorry for him."
"Sorry for him...? Because you fucked his third wife?"
"No. Because from now on, we're going to fuck all of Father's concubines."
Sung Ji-gon grinned. Maybe because we were always together, he'd picked up my habit of smirking just like me.
I smirked back.
Instead of heading to our rooms, we went to see Sung Go-dan's fourth wife, Bi Seong-ae.
"Yu-jin, Bi Seong-ae is mine exclusively. You haven't forgotten our deal, right?"
"Tch. Do I look like an idiot? I remember it perfectly, so don't ask."
"You might change your mind midway. Fourth Mother's beauty is top-notch."
"I've seen that woman too. We agreed to respect exclusives. I'll keep my word, so relax. And you better keep yours. You know Seong So-jeong? That bitch is my exclusive cocksleeve."
"I'm not interested in big sis. Do whatever you want with her."
We approached the fourth wife's building. Two guards at the entrance blocked our way.
"Young Masters Sung Ji-gon and Sung Yu-jin. This is no place for you to enter freely."
She had personal guards even within the Meteor Sword Sect. It showed the extent of her power and backing.
"We need to have an important talk with Fourth Mother."
"I've heard nothing about it. Did you send word to her in advance?"
"It's urgent and critical. It'll help Fourth Mother, not harm her. Send word to her now."
"...Understood. I'll check and come back, so please wait here."
They had no choice but to comply with our polite request. Even without blood ties, we were family. Plus, our influence in the sect had risen slightly thanks to the transport escort mission.
'Bi Seong-ae will summon us out of curiosity about the sect lord's meeting, at least.'
The guard returned with a maid in tow. Her hair was tied up in a bun, secured with a hairpin.
"Madam has given permission. I'll guide you."
We followed the maid. I couldn't take my eyes off her ass. Even walking primly, her slender waist contrasted with those full cheeks, making them jiggle slightly. Her looks were above average in the Meteor Sword Sect.
'Early to mid-twenties... Prime fucking age.'
Unlike me ogling the maid's body, Sung Ji-gon wore a mix of anticipation, excitement, and tension—like an actor stepping onto a grand stage for the first time.
"Madam, I've brought the young masters."
"Let them in."
A soft voice called out. We opened the door and entered.
Bi Seong-ae was over fifty, but she looked early to mid-forties. Black hair adorned with ornate hairpins, layered in expensive silk robes.
She had decent beauty, but paled compared to the other concubines. Sung Go-dan had married her for her clan's money and power, not her looks.
'Sung Ji-gon praises a woman like this as beautiful? He's such an incomprehensible psycho.'
Sung Ji-gon stared at Bi Seong-ae, half-entranced.
"What brings you young masters to my quarters? My heart's racing—it doesn't sound like good news."
"Fourth Mother... um..."
I'd planned to let Sung Ji-gon handle this, but seeing him, he'd screw it up 100%. I stepped forward.
"Fourth Mother has good instincts."
I glanced at the maid. She stood motionless by Bi Seong-ae's side.
"So-so is trustworthy."
I eyed the maid again. Now I saw she practiced martial arts—likely a bodyguard for emergencies. Bi Seong-ae trusted her enough not to dismiss her from such talks, and So-so's loyalty ran deep.
'Nice ass, but her tits are lacking.'
A-cup at best. Bi Seong-ae, on the other hand, was busty.
I reached into my bosom. So-so flinched. I slowly pulled out the letter, watching her reaction on purpose.
"...Is that a letter from the Ahyeon Clan to the sect lord?"
"No. He has that one. Why would I have it?"
"Then...?"
"It's a letter from the Ahyeon Clan's second son, Shin Gong-se, to Fourth Mother."
Bi Seong-ae's kindly face hardened instantly.
"...The seal's broken. Did you open it on the way here?"
"Shin Gong-se said we could look freely. So we did on the road. The contents weren't so light—we were shocked."
"Young masters. Did you want to disappoint me this much?"
"We're more disappointed. Who knew Fourth Mother sold out the Meteor Sword Sect for cash."
I unfolded the letter for her to see clearly.
"H-how did the Ahyeon Clan...!"
"Forgot how the Jikga Escort Agency, Ahyeon Clan, and Namji Sect are blood enemies? They're desperate to dig up dirt on each other."
Her already pale face drained of color.
Bi Seong-ae—and precisely, her clan—had taken Jikga Escort Agency money to push cooperation between the Meteor Sword Sect and Jikga. Key point: her clan got paid. In other words, they'd sold out the sect.
Even if the cooperation helped, Sung Go-dan would go berserk if he learned.
"Fourth Mother, you know the sect's been extra sensitive about money lately, right?"
"......"
The elixir depot had been robbed. The sect lord and elders were frantic to restock for the sect's future.
"What do you think Father will do if he finds out?"
"The sect lord... will demand more than what Jikga paid me. If I can't give it... he'll target my clan."
Bi Seong-ae stayed cool despite the panic, biting her lip and glaring at us.
"Fourth Mother, we're still on your side."
"...You coming here means you want something from me. What is it? Elixirs? I can get good ones. Hand over that letter and swear never to speak of this."
"Do we look retarded?"
"Such crude words. Mind your manners. I'm your mother."
"Hand it over, and you'll kill us to cover it up, right? Poison our food, sic your guards, or order the maid here to do it now."
"Sad. I wouldn't do that. What do you take me for, Yu-jin?"
"A cunt who sold the sect as lady of the house for Jikga cash."
"...!"
Bi Seong-ae's mouth twisted, eyes turning venomous.
Hostility exploded from So-so. Boom! The floor beneath her cracked.
So-so was stronger than expected.
Judging by the intense pressure she is emitting, she has reached at least the Third Stage of the Realm of Outflow, likely having received high-grade elixirs and secret martial arts from Bi Seong-ae, which makes her significantly stronger than Seok Ji-don, I calculated calmly.
I could win a fight, but no point causing a scene. Plan wasn't derailed yet.
"Fourth Mother, even if we die here, the Ahyeon Clan knows. Kill us, and Shin Gong-se steps in."
"Sounds like the Ahyeon Clan does nothing while we're alive."
"We made a deal with Shin Gong-se."
She sneered.
"Ha! So you sold the Meteor Sword Sect to the Ahyeon Clan too? Pot calling the kettle black."
"Misunderstanding. We didn't sell the sect. We sold Jikga. Details are secret, but we want you to know our ties with Shin Gong-se are tight."
"...I see. Impressive maneuvering, young masters. Shocking, really. But... you know how far the Ahyeon Clan is from the Meteor Sword Sect?"
She meant kill us and tamper evidence before they investigate. Blackmail.
"You're underestimating us."
Crackle.
I unleashed inner energy and lightning to intimidate.
Bi Seong-ae recoiled in shock; So-so stepped forward. Sweat beaded on So-so's face.
"Madam, Young Master Yu-jin... is Out-Realm realm. And that lightning—rumors say he has a Thunder Spirit."
"Madam, please be careful because Young Master Yu-jin has already stepped into the prestigious Realm of Outflow, and judging by that crackling lightning energy, the dark rumors about him possessing a rare Thunder Spirit are absolutely true," So-so warned frantically as sweat beaded on her face.
"C-can't you kill him?"
"No guarantee. I might die instead."
I powered down.
Showed just enough strength. Effect was perfect. Bi Seong-ae's gaze shifted from looking down on us to wary foes.
'This world judges by power first.'
If I were stronger, this would've been smoother.
"Grasp the situation now?"
"...What do you want? Not elixirs, so money?"
"Something better for the body than elixirs."
"Elixir pills...?"
"Sweeter than that bitter shit."
"...Something tasty? Enough word games. Spit it out. Or do you want me to cook?"
"Close. Sung Ji-gon wants Fourth Mother's pussy, and I want So-so's."
"......"
Silence filled the room. She mulled it over, then shuddered in delayed horror.
"My body...? You're serious?!"
"Dead serious. Fourth Mother, just lie there. We'll handle the rest."
I patted Sung Ji-gon's shoulder; he snapped out of his daze and grinned wickedly.
"Ah, aah...! Fourth Mother! I've counted the days for this!"
Sung Ji-gon approached Bi Seong-ae.
"Madam!"
So-so blocked her. I grabbed So-so's wrist and yanked.
"So-so, didn't you hear? You're mine."
"Let go!"
"Fourth Mother stays still—think you can act on your own? Resist, and deal's off."
So-so froze, inner energy halting. She pleaded with her eyes to Bi Seong-ae, who stood resigned. Sung Ji-gon began peeling off Bi Seong-ae's silk layers one by one.
Seeing her bare skin, Sung Ji-gon's face flushed, breathing ragged.
"Mother! Beautiful! Mother!"
Excited, Sung Ji-gon stripped her savagely.
Her tits were impressively big. Nipples dark brown, belly soft with fat, pubic hair thick.
"Ji-gon, you can't do this to me. After all I've done for you..."
"I know, Fourth Mother. So now I'll do you right."
Sung Ji-gon laid Bi Seong-ae on the bed and started eating her pussy.
