Chapter Title: 972. Radiant Ascension Path
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Once a week.
That was the number of times Wiyu had set for me and Namgung Seol to have sex. And it had to be right in front of Wiyu. I had no complaints aside from the frequency. Even that was set with consideration for Namgung Seol's stamina and condition, so I couldn't really argue.
The night after our first time together, Namgung Seol had ascended to the Entry Form realm. As a martial artist, she would grow. When her Nine Yin Severed Meridians were fully healed, the world would need to watch out.
'The problem is no one knows when that will be.'
To safely and reliably cure the Nine Yin Severed Meridians required steady practice of the Yin-Yang Harmony Great Method. At least a few years, Wiyu had said. Maybe even decades.
I tossed a leaf into the air. It drifted slowly downward. My sword flashed from my waist. A blue gleam sliced through the leaf. It fell perfectly into two pieces onto my palm, the veins split right down the middle.
'Not bad. Pretty much perfect.'
I smiled in satisfaction. Being able to control the Thunderbolt's currents had dramatically improved my precision as well.
'The more thunderbolt energy, the harder it is to control, but I can handle Brain Light without issue.'
In the real world, it would've taken at least a month. I had zero talent there. But this was the [Radiant Ascension Path] world. Reaching the Five Qi realm had sharpened my senses, and instead of nonexistent talent, I had the Cheongangseong System.
'The growth rate here means talent, right? Mine's so low that a 50% boost doesn't mean much.'
The Cheongangseong System's attendance event gave random rewards every week.
Mostly herbs, but sometimes special items like this. Elixirs were the most helpful to me, though they were extremely rare.
'Rewards got better after hitting VIP Level 1. Higher VIP levels should mean even better ones.'
VIP Level 2 required 300 Heavenly Jades. I had 73.
'Would've been nice if it gave Heavenly Jades instead of the Antidote Stone. They give those even less than elixirs.'
I went to find Namgung Rin.
"Heavenly Jades? I don't have anything that expensive. All I've got is 15 taels of gold I brought for emergencies."
Heavenly Jades were orbs infused with spiritual energy. One of the main ingredients for crafting special items in this world, and used as currency too. Worth about 100 taels of gold each.
Even direct descendants of the Namgung family couldn't handle them lightly.
"Need money? I can give you the 15 taels of gold."
"Ha, who'd put 15 taels up their nose... Forget it. Spread your legs."
"Hng... Y-yes, young mas..."
Namgung Rin spread her legs in the woods. Soon, the heated air filled the forest.
I went looking for Wiyu. She was with Namgung Seol. Namgung Seol sat cross-legged on the ground, deep in meditation, while Wiyu watched quietly.
"What is it?"
"Master. Do you have any Heavenly Jades?"
Someone like the Fallen Moon Divine Maiden wouldn't be strange to have them. The stronger you were, the more assets you tended to have. Even holed up in Fallen Moon Mountain, her hidden wealth had to be substantial. I wanted to believe that.
"Heavenly Jades? I've cut ties with the secular world for centuries. Why would I have something like that here?"
"Not even one?"
"None."
Wiyu said firmly. If she wasn't giving, she wouldn't lie about it.
My gaze turned to Namgung Seol, focused on her meditation. If Namgung Rin didn't have any, neither would she.
'Maybe Mi-ryeong has some?'
I entered Mi-ryeong's room. She wasn't there. Probably off on some task from Wiyu or training. I decided to wait.
Mi-ryeong's room was so packed with modern gadgets it felt like the present day. Computer, TV, headset, gaming console, air conditioner, and more.
'What? Snacks in the desk drawer. She whined about having none, but hid these from me.'
I checked her computer. Snooping on someone else's PC was thrilling, like peeking into their private life.
'No internet's a shame. A computer without it is more useless than red bean-less ho-bbang. Same for smartphones.'
Her desktop was full of installed games. All ones I knew. I'd given them to her, after all.
'Any secret files?'
I remembered there was no security when booting it up and clicked recent folders.
'Jackpot. Videos.'
I grinned.
Porn? How'd she download without internet?
'Guess I'll find out.'
Double-click.
The video played. Mi-ryeong was in it, waving at the camera with a smile.
"Hello, viewers! It's Fox Spirit here! This is a pre-recorded stream. I wasn't even planning on it, but I got so bored I just... You get it, right?"
It was a game recording. Probably for uploading once summoned back to reality. I felt anew how much she missed the modern world.
'That's that... but all the videos are stream recordings. Was hoping for masturbation vids. None.'
I recalled Mi-ryeong's kink. She loved sneaking sex during streams. It wasn't there originally, but I'd developed it in her.
'With that kink, one for cameras wouldn't be weird.'
I didn't give up. Maybe another folder.
'I know how to find hidden folders and files. Used it plenty in high school.'
Found it.
Two videos.
I grinned and played one.
'Heh. Jackpot!'
Mi-ryeong's masturbation video. Sitting in a chair, pants off, fingering her pussy.
"Hng, ah... aaah... ang!"
She let out sweet moans, half-lidded eyes fixed on the camera as her fingers mercilessly plunged her waxed bald pussy.
I watched with satisfaction.
Click. The doorknob turned, and the door opened. Mi-ryeong entered, slightly sweaty.
"Gasp! H-husband?!"
"Just getting back?"
"What are you doing in my room... No! That video! N-no!"
Her face flushed red, fox ears perked as she rushed over. She blocked the monitor with her body and shut down the PC tower.
"Heh."
Futile. I'd seen it all.
"Didn't know you had that hobby."
"N-no. This was... to test the camera... u, uwaaaaa!"
She realized her excuse was lame mid-sentence and collapsed to the floor wailing.
"If you want to film sex tapes, just say so. I'd join anytime. We've done it plenty. Even live-streamed sex without viewers noticing."
The thrilling live sex streams where no one caught on.
"Ugh, really. It's not that. I was just... bored, that's all. Why'd you come to my room anyway? You didn't break in to snoop my files, right?"
Red-faced Mi-ryeong blatantly changed the subject. I considered teasing her more but let it go.
"I need Heavenly Jades. Got any?"
"Heavenly Jades? Yeah. How many?"
"All of them."
"...Huh? Heavenly Jades are pricier than most elixirs. You need all of them?"
Mi-ryeong's expression changed. I sensed she had more than expected.
I grabbed her shoulders seriously. Her lips trembled.
"Mi-ryeong. I need them all."
"B-but I need them too. For special spells or barriers."
"Leave a few for yourself and give me the rest. How many do you have?"
Mi-ryeong's eyes darted. Looking for an escape. I picked her up, laid her on the bed, and pinned her down.
"N-no... That's cheating..."
I kissed her cheek and stroked her perked fox ears. Her body reacted sensitively. Her breathing grew ragged.
"Please, Mi-ryeong."
Mwah.
I kissed her lips. Unable to hold back, she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Fine... You win like this. Okay, all of them. But... summon me to the modern world once cooldown's up. Promise?"
"Of course."
Mwah.
I kissed her again. Hands sliding to her chest for a leisurely fuck, but she pushed me back lightly.
"I'll give them first. But what for? You can tell me that much, right?"
Of course. I trusted her.
"The Cheongangseong System. Needs Heavenly Jades to level up VIP."
"Cheongangseong System?"
"Truth is, this world is..."
I explained. A mashup of various worlds, including games.
"Cheongangseong... So that was the star energy you were born under. Impressive."
"You know it?"
"Sure. The top stars among stars, and Cheongangseong's one."
"They said mine was faint."
"VIP's only Level 1? And it's best to hide star energy. Jealous types might do anything. Not to badmouth, but good people are rare here."
"How do you hide it?"
"Asking me...? Hm. I'll make you a talisman later. It's faint now, so easy to conceal. You won't run into experts who can detect it easily anyway... But just in case."
Mi-ryeong reached into the air. Space tore open. A box popped out and hit the floor.
The Void Seal spell. A personal subspace. Only innate spellcasters at Three Purities realm or higher could use it, she said.
"820 Heavenly Jades. I'll give you 800, keeping 20."
My jaw dropped. Way more than imagined.
"Why so many?"
"Found treasure crossing the sea. Robbed some weird pirates too. That's how I got this many."
"Thanks, Mi-ryeong."
"Don't just say it. Reward me. Today I want chicken, pizza, burgers, tteokbokki, jjajangmyeon, cola, soda... All modern food."
"Your wish today."
I confirmed the 800 Heavenly Jades and smiled. No reason to hesitate. I leveled up VIP.
I grinned. Martial power and growth up 20%, elixirs +5%. New recovery rate, and Space Transfer screamed teleport. Essential in this vast world.
'573 Heavenly Jades left. Just 127 more for next VIP. Awesome. But what's a Star Fragment?'
