39. Double life
39. Double life
After spending the whole night exerting ourselves with fever and passion, Master-nim is brightly smiling as she strokes my ear.

"Huhehee...♥ Ihit♥ Ihihi...♥"
With my semen dried and stuck all over her body, Master-nim wears a lovely expression.
She's so pretty, I could die.
I desperately want to protect these precious daily moments.
I pulled Master-nim into my arms and whispered.
"Master-nim, I have something serious to say."
Calling her Master-nim instead of honey, she composes her expression and pats my back.
"Yeah... It's about that Cheon Hwa-ryeong bitch, right?"
"That's part of it, but I want to get stronger. Much faster."
The hand stroking my back stopped.
Master-nim hugged me tightly and said.
Her voice slightly choked with emotion.
"Heaven isn't heartless after all, for my disciple to ride the waves of the world..."
"Master-nim..."
"I'm so afraid of losing you. If I could, I'd sweep away those bastards myself..."
Master-nim knew nothing about the artificial Dungeon Break or the monsters' growth.
It's physically impossible to stick together 24 hours a day. Master-nim seemed to have made her decision, looking at me with firmer eyes.
"Let's use every means available. We'll ramp up the intensity of Training, and for Gongnyeo... I'll go see her myself. As for Cheon Hwa-ryeong..."
Master-nim snorted with a more relaxed expression.
"Hmph, I trust you, kid. I want to drop by once or twice myself, but if that bitch throws a fit about not teaching martial arts... Tsk, sly woman."
I got permission for everything.
I kissed the deep furrow between Master-nim's brows and held her close.
"Muah!"
Master-nim's mode switched in an instant.
"Really now...♥"
-Knead knead... Pop!
"...? Again...? This is really..."
Who asked you to touch?
I grabbed Master-nim's knees and gently spread them.
"Honey..."
"W-Wait a sec, honey!"
-Squelch...

"Gaga! H-Honey! Darling... The sun's rising... Hyaaah♥"
♥♥♥
Master-nim, with a glossy sheen on her face, sheathed the sword with a satisfied look.
"You're definitely no beginner anymore."
My mind was a whirlwind from the even more brutal morning Training.
Master-nim beat me mercilessly, making all our previous sessions seem like child's play.
She must plan to keep this up until I procure those sense-blocking pills.
I lay on the courtyard ground, panting heavily.
"Haa... Haa... Tough..."
"Don't talk, just chug it down."
I gulped down the black liquid Master-nim handed me.
No idea what it is. I trust her unconditionally, so I drink...
It tasted like bitter herbal medicine with weird clumps in my mouth.
Holding back the nauseating smell, I barely swallowed...
-Crack! Crunch! Creak!
My body started making ominous sounds.
But no pain, so I blankly looked up at Master-nim.
"Master-nim?"
Master-nim muttered, visibly flustered.
"Ah, doesn't it hurt? As expected of a body blessed by Yuanshi Tianzun...?"
-Crunch! Crackle!
"Yeah. Just feels a bit warm, and my joints are creaking a little?"
Master-nim smiled brightly.
"I was worried it'd hurt, but good thing it doesn't. It's Troll's Blood mixed with decoction herbs. Helps blood circulation, speeds up muscle recovery."
Troll's Blood... Sounds expensive just from the name.
"Thank you, Master-nim... This isn't super pricey, is it?"
"Hehe, no big deal. From now on, drink this once a day instead of potions. It'll increase muscle density, strengthen bones..."
-Pop!
"Huh...?"
Mid-sentence, strength suddenly surged below.
Seeing it bulge like it could rip my pants, Master-nim looked at me with trembling eyes.
"Now that I think about it, Troll's Blood is good for stamina too..."
I scooped up Master-nim, whose face was flushing and breathing getting rough, and headed to the bathroom.
"Ah, kid?"
"Wanna wash up together, honey?"
The answer was obvious.
"Yes... honey...♥"
♥♥♥
I dried off Master-nim, who lay in my arms like a full, happy puppy with a blissful expression.
"Take care out there, honey..."
"Yeah, I'll be back."
I stepped out to learn Mago from Cheon Hwa-ryeong.
Learning Mago has me worried sick.
Can I mix the two powers? What side effects...?
Lost in thought while walking, I spotted Maehyanggak and stopped.
'She said to bring booze, right?'
I've got plenty of money, and she's basically my master now, so this much is fine...
I bought two bottles of liquor, stashed them in my Inventory, and hit the road again.
Along the way, I remembered the empty kitchen.
Still can't move? Has she been starving all this time? Forming a Dantian must be insanely tough.
Random thoughts cluttered my head, making me feel sticky.
"Argh, damn... Why do I have so much to take care of?"
Might as well grab some food too...
"Sigh... That sis hasn't washed? No scented oil at home either..."
I picked up toiletries and headed out.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong, waking up refreshed after a long time, sat in a chair with eyes closed.
Then came the cheeky punk's grumbling voice.
-Argh... Why'd I buy so much? Tsk, but she's my lifesaver...
With Arin nowhere in sight, looks like he sweet-talked her good.
Ryu-o, picking actions that hit just right.
A natural smile crept onto Cheon Hwa-ryeong's lips.

"Cheeky punk... Hehe."
Cheon Hwa-ryeong, in high spirits, stripped off her clothes, lay on the bed, and closed her eyes.
Right on cue, the door opened...
-Slide!
"Sis, I'm ba— Wait, clothes! Sigh... I definitely covered her with the blanket, did she kick it off?"
She could perfectly picture the flustered guy in her mind.
Her chest tickled again, lips twitching up, but she held it back.
Pretending not to notice Ryu-o approaching, she kept her head down.
"Should've come later if I knew she'd be asleep... Wake her up?"
Ryu-o carefully draped the blanket over her.
He sighed, then sounds came from the kitchen as he stocked it up.
-The fridge still throws me off every time... Made in the west?
-Gotta toss the leftover rice... Don't want her getting tummy trouble and glaring at me.
This lord getting a stomachache?
"Pfft! Puhehe... What a weirdo."
Cheon Hwa-ryeong was just amused.
Grumbling while hauling in a ton of stuff to take care of her.
Yet cutely stocking the kitchen and bathroom.
Yeah, she needed this guy around.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong feigned ignorance as Ryu-o entered the room with a proud face.
"Phew... Sis, sun's high in the sky. Get up already."
"..."
"Ugh, just wanna smack her..."
"Hm?"
"Did you cough, milady...?"
"Hahahaha! Come here."
What if this guy was there the moment she opened her eyes in the morning?
What if he was by her side all day?
What if she drank liquor he fed her before bed and slept together?
As her greed grew, Cheon Hwa-ryeong grew cautious.
To truly get what she wanted, she'd have to be thorough.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong clenched her fist under the blanket once, then licked her lips.
The thirstier she got, the sweeter the fruit would taste.
First, she'd plant 'trust' in Ryu-o's head.
Raise him thoroughly until he had no choice but to rely on her...
"Good..."
"Huh? Slept well?"
Cheon Hwa-ryeong smiled prettily and said.
"Try getting up."
Get up? Still that bad?
"Can't move yet?"
Cheon Hwa-ryeong glared with axe eyes.
"Didn't your master say anything? About what forming a Dantian means..."
"I heard it all. She was so shocked, saying it's impossible... Sorry, killing me."
"I can move. Watch."
Cheon Hwa-ryeong slightly lifted her arm.
"But no energy. All used saving someone."
"How long you gonna milk that?"
"Cheeky punk, just stating facts."
Who knew she'd be so petty...
I wrapped the blanket around Cheon Hwa-ryeong and sat her up on the bed.
She raised an eyebrow, then slyly slipped her upper body out from the blanket.
Her huge breasts compressed then boing-ed out... Crazy...
"Ah, seriously!"
"It's stuffy. Don't fuss."
Her calm, expressionless tone made me feel like I was overreacting.
Fine, I've seen it all anyway.
No more virgin act, I stared straight at Cheon Hwa-ryeong.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong seriously eyed the spot next to her.
"Sit. I'll teach you the Oral Formula first."
I nodded, sat beside her, and crossed my legs.
"Sit me on your lap."
"...? Aren't we doing Circulation of Qi? Why suddenly..."
Cheon Hwa-ryeong gave a 'do I have to explain this?' look.
"Tsk tsk. Gotta check your Dantian, but my body's like this—what can I do?"
True, Master-nim started by placing hands on my body too.
I nodded and re-wrapped Cheon Hwa-ryeong in the blanket.
"You sane? Jingidoin like this?"
"...Kinda weird? Then at least put on some clothes..."
"Have to use my senses fully. Clothes would be risky—want that?"
Reasonable, so I nodded.
"Yeah... Got it."
I picked up Cheon Hwa-ryeong and sat her on my lap.
Same sensation as before nearly blew my mind, but glad I held back last time.
But Cheon Hwa-ryeong frowned and looked at me.
"Can you do Jingidoin from the back?"
"Huh? Then face each other? Like this?"
"Told you not to read into it. Just do it."
No choice, I sat facing her with Cheon Hwa-ryeong on my lap.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong wiggled her butt a bit, pressing her chest firmly against mine via my knees.
Her huge breasts delivered warm heat and violent sensation to my chest.
"Th-This really doesn't feel right..."
"Shut up, close your eyes. I'll chant the Oral Formula."
Maybe better with eyes closed, so I shut them and straightened my slouching back.
Sensations all over my body, Cheon Hwa-ryeong's scent, and...

"That's it..."
-Slurp...♥
Some musty, sticky energy was felt.
Even with eyes closed, I...
-Pop! Thud!
