The atmosphere in the Namgung Family was at its absolute worst.
The Black Dragon Castle's young castle lord had crushed the Namgung Family's next-generation talents one after another.
Four straight losses.
It was such an embarrassing outcome that no one dared mention it. Folks in Anhui Province had gone completely silent about the sparring results. It was being treated like a dark chapter in their history.
On the flip side, the Black Dragon Castle warriors were in full celebration mode. They'd dominated the Namgung Family right on their home turf, so it was hardly surprising. They'd be telling this tale for centuries to come.
The moment I got back to the Namgung Family, I was summoned by the family head, Namgung Ho-cheon. His office wasn't just occupied by him—the elders were all there too.
"Sung Yu-jin. You're the main family's only hope now. If you fall to Heuk Jeokbyeon, the entire martial world will laugh at the Namgung Family."
"Family Head, I'm confident. Heuk Jeokbyeon won't beat me. That goes for the rest of the Black Dragon Castle warriors too. The Namgung Family won't lose."
"That fiery spirit of yours is reassuring."
The rock-solid tension around Namgung Ho-cheon eased up a bit.
It wasn't empty bravado. Among the Black Dragon Castle warriors staying with the Namgung Family, O Bi-hwan was the only one I couldn't take. Everyone else? In a straight 1v1, I'd never lose.
"Family Head."
First Elder Namgung Dan-mo stepped forward. His tone was dead serious, more than I'd ever heard. Namgung Ho-cheon nodded, and Namgung Dan-mo turned to me.
"We'll share everything we've uncovered about Heuk Jeokbyeon's martial arts and abilities. Clear your mind and listen."
I nearly let out a scoff. This went against all propriety. The Namgung Family knew it too. The fact they were doing it anyway showed just how cornered they felt.
"I'm listening."
"The Black Dragon Castle's young castle lord, Heuk Jeokbyeon's saber art—the Black Dragon Thirteen Cuts—is serpentine, belying its grandiose name. It looks like it's overwhelming you with brute force at first glance, but in truth, it lures your counterattacks and slyly strikes your openings."
"What should I do?"
"Be cautious when attacking Heuk Jeokbyeon. Above all, watch his tail. It's sharper and tougher than most swords. If it grabs your ankle, even you would struggle to break free."
Namgung Dan-mo broke down Heuk Jeokbyeon's techniques one by one for me. He even called in another elder to demonstrate counters on the spot.
I got the gist. The old me wouldn't have grasped half of it, but now I was at the Five Qi realm. My innate talent or aptitude hadn't really changed, of course. This had to be the Cheon-gang Star system's doing.
"Why doesn't lightning qi work on Heuk Jeokbyeon?"
"It's not any spell or martial art effect. His realm tops out at Exit stage 7 or 8. His strength comes from being half-human, half-beast. Lightning qi fails because he's innately attuned to Earth qi."
Earth qi countered lightning qi perfectly. That explained it.
"...Hate to say it, but you elders seem overly worried. I'm at Five Qi stage 3. You all know the massive gap between Five Qi and Exit realms."
In this world, under equal conditions, the higher realm always wins. Variables like martial art proficiency, elemental matchups, treasures, or elixirs could shift things—but with no treasures allowed in these spars, that narrowed it down a lot.
Namgung Dan-mo nodded, agreeing, but his expression stayed grave.
"You're right. By all logic, your victory is assured. But... something feels off."
As first elder and referee, he'd observed Heuk Jeokbyeon closer than anyone.
"What exactly?"
"Heuk Jeokbyeon's skill surpasses Exit realm. You can tell he hasn't shown his full hand."
"Hiding his realm?"
"No. He wouldn't try that against me."
Then Namgung Ho-cheon, who'd been watching silently, spoke up.
"The Black Dragon Castle Lord."
All eyes turned to him.
"He's a cruel, merciless man. For power, for advancing his realm, he'd do anything—even cross the boundaries of human decency."
"Do you mean he did something to his own son?"
"Why else would a man like him father a half-beast child? Power. Experimentation. There's every chance he tampered with his son. Sung Yu-jin, never drop your guard."
"Yes."
It was late by the time I escaped the family head's office. Dealing with the Namgung Family's old guard was a drag.
"Young Master Sung."
A servant approached me right away.
"What is it?"
"My friend begged me to deliver this letter to you personally."
The servant bowed deeply, offering the letter with both hands respectfully.
"Why's your friend sending me a letter?"
"She works at Flower Moon Tower."
"Hah, I get it... Looks like Flower Moon Tower's courtesans can't get me out of their heads—tossing and turning all night."
"......"
I snatched the letter and read it on the spot.
It wasn't some desperate love note from the courtesans. Far simpler than I'd imagined: Stop by Flower Moon Tower tomorrow afternoon. No name on the sender.
'Flower Moon Tower runs tight ship—courtesans wouldn't risk sending letters on their own... The owner, maybe?'
I tucked the letter away.
"Tell your friend I got it."
"Yes. I'll take my leave."
The servant vanished quietly.
Flower Moon Tower might be hiding something bigger than I'd thought.
Back at my annex.
No servants around— I'd dismissed them all since I didn't want interruptions.
I opened the door and stepped in. Cool air greeted me. Pushed open the bedroom door. Someone was on my bed.
"Hah... hah... Young Master...! You're back!"
It was naked Namgung Rin. She lay on the bed belly-up in a total submissive pose, limbs bent and splayed wide like a dog begging. Her full breasts and pussy were on full display. A thick black dildo was buried in her pussy, honey dripping steadily out.
"Sorry, ran later than expected. Nothing out of the ordinary happen?"
"N-no... Hng... Just like you ordered, I've been masturbating since dinner."
"How many times?"
"Nine... Thinking of your cock the whole time. Hngg..."
I approached Namgung Rin. She was drenched in sweat. Up close, the lewd scent hit me hard. My bed was soaked through. I reached out, gripped the dildo, and shoved it deep.
"Hngt! Aaaaah!"
"Good girl for following orders... but look at this mess on the bed. You didn't squirt piss here, did you?"
"Hah! N-no! I used my personal toilet!"
I glanced at the corner. The sand in her dedicated litter box was sopping wet.
"That's my good girl."
I stroked her hair while rubbing her pussy with the dildo. Her body twitched.
"Hngt, ung... G-gonna cum! Tenth orgasm! Hiiiik!"
Her pussy squirted and spasmed. I waited it out, then pulled the dildo free once she peaked. The hole gaped wide, cervix visible. The slick, writhing walls glistened with her juices.
I slapped the spread pussy gently with my palm. Slap-slap-slap.
"Hweee! Aaang!"
"Hurry and close that pussy. Too loose, and there's no fun in pounding it."
"Haaaang!"
I watched it clench while stripping down. My cock stood rigid. Without those Namgung fossils holding me up, I'd have been balls-deep in her by now. My cock hungered for pussy.
Namgung Rin's pussy had tightened, but her labia stayed splayed. Partly the pose, but mostly from me reaming it daily—thousands of thrusts. And tonight, I'd wreck it again.
"Stay just like that."
Her position was perfect for a mating press. I climbed over her, our slick skins pressing together.
"Haa... Young Master..."
Namgung Rin stuck out her pink tongue. Her desire was obvious. I deliberately skipped the kiss. She gave a pleading look, sweet breath puffing as she wagged her tongue.
Squelch.
My cock plunged into her sticky depths.
"Ang aaaang!"
The walls clung tight to my shaft. She'd molded perfectly to me after all the pounding.
"Young Master...! Young Master!"
She called my name, wrapping her limbs around me—arms on my shoulders and back, legs coiling my hips.
"Takes me back. Way looser than your virgin days."
"Hng. I'll squeeze!"
Her pussy clamped down hard. I chuckled and started thrusting. Squelch-squelch. The bed rocked wildly, juices leaking nonstop.
"Haang! Aang! Haaaang!"
Namgung Rin lolled her tongue, bellowing like a beast.
We switched positions through the fuck, creampieing her pussy mostly. Outercums went down her throat. Her belly bloated with semen—full up top and bottom, in every sense.
"Haa... haa... Young Master... Let me move now. Haa."
Namgung Rin climbed on top, squatting with hands behind her head, hips grinding wildly.
Squish. Plop.
Her cum-and-juice-filled pussy made obscenely vulgar sounds. Her thick bush was frothy white with semen bubbles.
That's when it happened.
Bang! The door flew open. Someone burst in.
"Hiiik?!"
"Ugh..."
I grunted softly. Namgung Rin had slammed her ass down on my balls in shock. It stung, though not enough to break anything.
"Seol-ah?!"
"...Sister."
It was Namgung Seol who'd barged into my bedroom. Her vacant red eyes fixed on Namgung Rin.
'Didn't see that coming.'
My cock throbbed. Time to cum. No reason to hold back. I unloaded.
"Seol-ah, this is... Ungiiit...!"
Feeling the creampie, Namgung Rin shuddered, instinctively gaping her mouth and sticking out her tongue in that slutty face I'd trained into her.
"Hngt, haaang..."
"......"
Namgung Seol strode to the bed. She reared back and slapped Namgung Rin's cheek with all her might.
Crack!
Namgung Rin tumbled off the bed, my cock popping free. White cum splattered Namgung Seol's cheek. She wiped it with her palm, glaring coldly at the stunned, slapped Namgung Rin.
"Sister. What the hell is this? Why are you fucking Young Master Sung?"
"Seol-ah, calm down. It's all for your sake. Just... calm and hear me out."
"You've always pulled this. Doing whatever you want and blaming it on me? You did it when you ditched the family before, and now you're using me as cover to fuck my fiancé."
"N-no! It's a misunderstanding! Young Master Sung blackmailed me!"
"Blackmailed?"
Namgung Seol smirked, emotionless—just the corner of her mouth twitching. The disconnect from her usual vibe startled even me.
"I've known about you and Young Master Sung for a while. Watched you in secret too. That look on your face when you cling to him? No way that's a woman forced by blackmail. It's the face of someone blissed out in her lover's arms."
"I-I..."
Namgung Rin staggered up on shaky legs and approached Namgung Seol.
"B-believe me. It's really for you...!"
"Quit lying!"
Crack!
"Kyaaak!"
Slapped again, Namgung Rin crumpled to the floor. Her massive tits jiggled, and my cum leaked from her pussy in a steady stream.
