74. The Heavenly Demon completely disarmed...
After shooting off a few refreshing loads like that...

"Chu!♥ Lewd bastard♥ Chu!♥ Vicious bastard♥ Chu!♥ Naughty bastard♥"
"Noona... just one more..."
I squinted and sat Cheon Hwa-ryeong down beside me as she kept planting kisses on my forehead.
Her cuteness had skyrocketed in just one day.
No, is this even cute? Well, since it's adorable, it counts as aegyo, I guess.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong looked at the cum she'd thoroughly soiled the blankets with and smiled contentedly.
"You're cumming way more now... Tsk tsk... Heh! Feels that good, huh?♥ As expected, better than that old hag..."
-Beoldeok!!!
"...Nothing. At this rate, you must be sick or something..."
"Noona, hurry up with the martial arts..."
When I tried changing the subject to an awkward topic, Cheon Hwa-ryeong furrowed her brows and pressed her forehead firmly against my brow.
"After not seeing each other for days, the first thing you talk about is martial arts? Got nothing else to say?"
"Sorry..."
"Besides that... I wanna hear what you said yesterday."
Cheon Hwa-ryeong, who always seemed so composed, looked unusually anxious today.
And yet, her face was full of eager anticipation.
I instantly knew exactly what words she was craving.
The words we'd both implicitly avoided saying. I remembered what I'd said a ton yesterday.
I'd felt a pang of conscience, and she'd been embarrassed, but now...
"I love you."
-Warak!
Just for baring my honest heart, Cheon Hwa-ryeong seemed utterly delighted.

"Ha... Damn! Heh heh... Chu♥ Hoo... I love you too. Just a few days apart and I nearly died, you little shit."
Seeing Cheon Hwa-ryeong firing off hearts like crazy stirred up my greed.
I wanted to live with all three of them together.
I knew it was insane coming from a cheating bastard like me, but the desire kept bubbling up.
Sure, I'd done it once with those three special circumstances making it possible.
But since I'd succeeded in that insanely difficult first time, the next ones should be way easier...
Gotta test the waters slowly. Tell them both... I love them.
And that there's one more...
'Man, I'm such a piece of trash.'
"Noona..."
"Speak."
"I... gotta get stronger fast."
"Tsk, no sense of the mood..."
"If I don't train soon, I feel like I won't get any training done all day. Starting to get hard to hold back."
-Eumjil!
Cheon Hwa-ryeong hurriedly pulled away from me and cleared her throat.
"Ahem! Yeah, can't have that. Today I'll check your Fist and Leg Technique, so get into position."
...Part of me wanted to tease her more, but I obediently stood up and assumed the stance.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong's expression turned deadly serious in an instant.
"Circulate your internal energy and throw a fist."
I circulated the Heavenly Demon Divine Art and thrust a straight punch into the air.
Twist the toes to amplify the power from the ground.
As I thrust with my right hand, the power transferred from my calves.
Added acceleration with the twisting hips, passing the force to my back.
Release the power loaded in the lats through the arm...
-Paang!
My training clothes fluttered, and a crisp sound burst from my fist.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong rubbed her waist as she stood up.
"You've got the power loading down pat. Yeah, that's what an Ilryu martial artist should be like. Ngh..."
"Noona?"
"Not much internal energy left, so I'll show you once."
Cheon Hwa-ryeong stood in front of me and drew her fist to her waist.
Her legs were trembling, her waist bent. She looked like she couldn't muster any strength.
Then Cheon Hwa-ryeong reached her hand toward my face...
-Paaang!!! Hwoong!
"...Whoa."
Exaggerating a bit, it felt like a typhoon had grazed my face.
No, how the hell did she generate that power from such a stance?
While I stood there dazed, Cheon Hwa-ryeong grinned and flopped onto the bed.
-Teolseok!

"What is your sky, you bastard."
"Our noona who's like the sky..."
"Cut the crap. Don't put power in your hands—put the sky in them..."
A cryptic puzzle. Put the sky in them?
"Noona. What does that mean...?"
Cheon Hwa-ryeong laughed merrily.
"This time, you have to figure it out yourself. Try deviating from the natural flow~"
Cheon Hwa-ryeong clamped her mouth shut like she had nothing more to say.
Looks like "deviate from the natural flow" was the hint...
'Natural flow...'
I threw a punch just like the stance Cheon Hwa-ryeong had taken.
-Hwoong...
No power, no smooth release.
This time, I mindlessly hammered straight punches over and over.
-Pang! Pang! Pang! Pang!
If what I'm doing is the orthodox 'natural flow,' then twisting means...?
I tried twisting my fist while throwing the straight punch.
-Pang!
Thrusting the arm while using the joints more, it took a bit less effort.
I glanced at Cheon Hwa-ryeong.
"Heh heh... I know nothing."
"Show me one more time, noona."
"I'll show you tomorrow. You got me all riled up."
No words for that...
I kept throwing straight punches while twisting my arm continuously.
-Pang! Pang! Pang! Pang!
Can't do anything about the power fizzling out at the end?
Extending the arm with rotation made my pinky tingle.
Is this it?
"Told you to twist the natural flow, and you're just twisting your body~"
...Feels like I was wrong from the start.
"Noona, did you actually use more internal energy?"
"Same amount."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Cheon Hwa-ryeong dropped a big hint.
The way the internal energy is released is different.
Twist... twist...
I released qi through my fist, then bent it back the opposite way.
Back into my body.
And then...
-Tong!
"Agh..."
A dull impact reverberated through my body.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong, seeing me, jumped up in shock.

"Y-You crazy bastard! Who told you to self-destruct!!"
"Huh? I'm fine..."
"Shut up!"
Cheon Hwa-ryeong fiddled with my arm, then let out a deep sigh.
"My heart hurts, so don't do that... Why are you so desperate to blow up inside your body."
"Ah, got it."
Cheon Hwa-ryeong chewed her lip with a torn expression, like she wasn't sure whether to tell me...
"No good... Again!"
"Yes, ma'am."
If it's not twisting inside the body... then twisting outside?
I threw punches all day long...
"That's it for today!"
"Haa... haa..."
I researched until sweat poured like rain, but no real gains.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong nodded and said.
"You'll suffer quite a bit. It's the basics of Pacheon."
"Pacheon?"
"Yeah. The first fist technique of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art. Go against the flow, reject the order!"
Probably a martial art still far beyond my current enlightenment.
Still, since it's helpful basics, she's teaching me.
Cheon Hwa-ryeong smiled warmly and stroked my head.
"Good work. I like that your thick skull isn't completely hopeless. It's showing bit by bit...! Heh heh. Alright! Now lemme feed you some booze and send you off."
"...Noona."
"What?"
"I wanna do it."
"..."
"..."
"G-Go on, get going..."
As if. Where do you think you're slinking off to?
I'll overwhelm her until she can't handle it anymore, make it so she has to live with the two of them.
An opportunity that won't come again... Gonna make the most of it.
Of course, the aphrodisiac's making it tough too.
Anyway, I pounced on Cheon Hwa-ryeong.
"No."
"Mmph?! W-Wai... Mmmph! Nooo!!!"
♥♥♥
-Puwoook!!! Kkwoook~ Tseu... Tseu... Tseu... Tseu...

"Hiiiiaaaang!!! Sl-Slow down, don't!!♥"
"Ah, got it."
-Puk!!! Puk!!! Puk!!! Pugeok! Pugeok! Pugeok! Pugeok! Pugeok! Pugeok!

"Guhk... Fas... Don't... Ohook! Eughk♥♥ I'm cuuummiing!!!!♥"
"Haa... haa... Got it."
-Pook~ Pook~ Pook~ Pook~ Pook~

".................. St... op..."
-Chiiiiiik! Psssh! Jjorreureureu...
Fuck, I'm going insane.
♥♥♥
"Zzz..."
Cheon Hwa-ryeong had now reached the realm of passing out without booze.
I cleaned her body and stepped outside.
I'd gone all out, but when it came to exerting strength, my dick could still muster it.
'Tch... Guess I gotta try controlling it with Circulation of Qi once.'
Can I even go to the Labyrinth like this?
Looking at my hypersensitive lower half, rage surged again.
That crazy bitch drugged me up?
'Next time, I won't fall for it so easily.'
I vowed once more and looked up at the sky.
The sun was just about to set, not quite yet.
Needed to make the most of every split second.
Too wasteful to head home just 'cause I'm beat.
Magic Tower and Essence shop timings were iffy, so swinging by the Guild would be perfect.
As I started running...
-Found him!!!!
"Hm?"
Looking toward the loud voice, I saw a knight.
A knight charging at me with fire in his eyes.
"Ryu-o-nim! Are you alright!!!"
"Wh-What!"
No hostility, but an overwhelming presence.
Looking closely, I spotted the Duchy crest.
Shocked me...
I checked myself over thoroughly and said to the knight with his hand on his chest.
"Ah, did Gongnyeo-nim send you?"
"Yes! We'll escort you immediately, Ryu-o-nim!!!"
...Felt like I'd get royally chewed out if I didn't follow, so I nodded.
"Understood."
"!!!!"
His face lit up instantly—good choice.
Explaining to the Guild or to Hilda, same difference.
-This is it!
-Yes!! Found him!
-Piiiik!!! All personnel!!! Assemble!!!
Total chaos...
And just like that, I was escorted to Hilda's villa like a sacred idol.
