Chapter 466: Lewd Yokai After School[R-18] (72)
Kim Hyun-woo pressed a hand to his forehead as he processed the news he had just received.
“That woman, Yeo-ju…”
Sitting beside him, Hyun-mu crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.
“Hmm, I never imagined the Gumiho would make such a choice.”
Kim Hyun-woo clenched his fists.
Baek Yeo-ju, the biological mother of Baek Mi-ho.
He knew just how powerful she was from the stories his master, Hyun-mu, had told him.
To think that such a formidable being was now protecting Jin Seo-yun was something he found impossible to accept.
Just… what the hell do they see in that bastard that makes them all flock to him…?
“Hyun-woo.”
Hyun-mu’s voice snapped him back to reality.
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
Hyun-mu dangled his short legs from the chair and continued, “In any case, if the Gumiho is willing to make a sacrifice to intervene, this won’t be easy.”
Kim Hyun-woo gritted his teeth and asked, “Then… what should we do?”
“For now, it seems there’s not much we can do besides continue to pressure Heukyo City.”
Just then…
“Lord Hyun-mu! We have a huge problem!”
A crow yokai flew in, panting, and shouted.
“What is it?”
“Well… Do-cheol of the Four Fierce Beasts has reportedly attacked Heukyo City with several other yokai leaders!”
“Do-cheol? What reason would that idiot have to suddenly do something like that?”
“From what I’ve heard… it happened while he was making a scene, claiming he would seize the Black Dragon’s power for himself!”
Hyun-mu’s face twisted in frustration.
“Haa… That fool is truly… fearless.”
The crow yokai caught its breath and quickly added, “That’s not all. Some of the other yokai leaders have joined him. They’re currently in a standoff in front of Heukyo City!”
“This isn’t the right time to make a move… Those idiots have gone and caused a real mess. If Jin Seo-yun gets dragged out of that chaos and ends up devouring them…”
Hyun-mu pressed his fingers harder against his forehead and muttered under his breath.
“…things will spiral completely out of control.”
“Master, this is our chance!”
“A chance, you say?”
“If Do-cheol and the other yokai are fighting in Heukyo City, we can intervene and capture Jin Seo-yun!”
Hyun-mu shook his head.
“No, it’s too dangerous. Someone like Do-cheol is no match for Jin Seo-yun. He’ll only end up making that bastard stronger.”
“So you’re saying we should just stand by and do nothing?”
“That’s… not it either.”
Hyun-mu slowly rose to his feet.
“We have to go. If only to prevent the worst-case scenario.”
“Really?”
“Yes. But we’re not going to capture Jin Seo-yun. We’re going to stop Do-cheol.”
Kim Hyun-woo looked confused.
“Stop Do-cheol?”
“If Do-cheol is defeated by Jin Seo-yun, he’ll be absorbed just like Do-ol was. That would make Jin Seo-yun even more powerful.”
“Then…”
“We’re going to save Do-cheol. As absurd as that sounds.”
Hyun-mu sighed.
“Get ready. We leave immediately.”
“Yes, sir!”
Kim Hyun-woo hurriedly began his preparations. It was an unexpected turn of events, but it was a chance to face Jin Seo-yun nonetheless.
This time for sure…

Baek Yeo-ju frowned as she looked down at the horde of yokai gathered below the castle walls. Among them, Do-cheol, one of the Four Fierce Beasts with a massive frame and ferocious eyes, stood out.
“Tsk, I can’t understand what that coward thinks he’s doing, attacking us.”
“A lot more powerful yokai have gathered than I expected. There are quite a few Heaven-Grade yokai, too,” Han Chae-yeon added, her voice tense.
Just then, Do-cheol stepped forward from below the wall.
“Baek Yeo-ju! Surrender!”
Do-cheol’s rough voice echoed off the ramparts. Behind him, countless yokai growled, their confidence soaring.
“You can’t fully intervene in the mortal realm anyway, can you? Just hand over the one with the Black Dragon’s power, and we won’t touch anyone else!”
“That idiot… It seems he still doesn’t know who I am.”
At that, the corners of Do-cheol’s mouth slowly curled upward.
“Heh heh… I know exactly who you are. Baek Yeo-ju, daughter of the Queen Mother of the West. But… don’t forget. In the mortal realm, you can never use your full power.”
Do-cheol let out a sinister laugh, reached into his robes, and pulled something out, holding it high for all to see.
It was a small, glistening, jet-black orb. A golden pattern was inscribed within it.
Baek Yeo-ju’s eyes widened.
“How did you get your hands on that…?”
Do-cheol licked his sharp teeth and grinned.
“So you know what this is? That’s right, it’s a Heavenly Seal Stone!”
Han Chae-yeon was horrified.
“A Heavenly Seal Stone? If that’s real, then…”
“Indeed. With this, I can temporarily sever the connection between the Heavenly Realm and the mortal realm. Then, Baek Yeo-ju, no matter if you’re the daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, you won’t be able to draw upon the power of the heavens!”
Baek Yeo-ju’s expression hardened. The Heavenly Seal Stone was an extremely rare artifact. If used improperly, it was a dangerous object capable of causing great chaos in both the Heavenly and mortal realms.
“Do-cheol, I don’t know where you got that, but… do you have any idea what will happen if you use something like that so recklessly?”
“I do! But I don’t care. As long as I get my hands on the Black Dragon’s power, a few side effects are nothing!”
Do-cheol raised the stone high.
“Now, this is your last chance! If you don’t hand over Jin Seo-yun, I will activate this!”
His voice thundered from below the wall.
Baek Yeo-ju gritted her teeth. If the Heavenly Seal Stone was activated, not only would her own power be severely limited, but it would undoubtedly plunge the entire castle into unforeseen chaos.
“What are you going to do?” Han Chae-yeon asked worriedly.
“That stupid bastard… He’s brought something truly dangerous.”
Baek Yeo-ju glared at the Heavenly Seal Stone with piercing eyes.
“Chae-yeon, go get Seo-yun.”
“I understand.”
Han Chae-yeon immediately spread her wings. In an instant, she soared over the wall, flying swiftly toward the secluded training hall.
Baek Yeo-ju remained alone on the rampart, looking down at Do-cheol, not even bothering to fix her hair as it whipped in the wind.
“…You’re about to regret this, Do-cheol.”
*
Han Chae-yeon folded her wings and landed softly at the entrance of the secluded training hall. She placed a hand on the door, gathered her yokai energy at her fingertips, and pushed hard.
The heavy door was designed to respond only to specific yokai energy, and its sheer, solid weight was extraordinary.
Creeeeak…
The interior became visible through the slowly opening gap. The clean, pristine state of the hall from when it was first completed was gone. Now, the walls and floor were a chaotic mess of sword marks.
And in the center of it all.
Three women, including Bi-yeon, were sitting quietly. Seeing them, Chae-yeon was about to speak urgently when—
‘Shh, be quiet.’
Bi-yeon’s voice echoed in her mind. Han Chae-yeon gasped in surprise, quickly shut her mouth, and shifted her weight off her feet. She moved inside as carefully and silently as possible.
That’s when she saw him: Jin Seo-yun, sitting naked in the lotus position.
An azure aura wrapped around his entire body, undulating and spreading like a living creature. The power that filled the training hall grazed the walls and floor, carving fine cracks into them and making the very air tremble.
‘Seo-yun is in the middle of breaking through the wall. So… just watch quietly.’
Bi-yeon’s voice brushed against her mind again.
Han Chae-yeon held her breath without realizing it. The energy radiating from him was on a completely different level than before. It was wild yet stable, and the pressure within it was more than enough to inspire fear.
—BOOOOM!
A sudden explosion erupted outside the training hall. The shockwave, like an earthquake, traveled through the walls and into the room.
Startled, Han Chae-yeon turned her head toward Bi-yeon and whispered urgently, “The situation outside is not good.”
Bi-yeon briefly closed her eyes, then opened them.
“…Hong-yeon, Ha-yeon. Go outside and help.”
“Yes, Lady Bi-yeon.”
Hong-yeon immediately stood and bowed her head.
“Understood.”
Ha-yeon also replied softly and followed her.
After the two women moved cautiously and disappeared, a suffocating tension and silence once again filled the training hall.
*
There was a massive wall before my eyes.
The same wall I had faced countless times before. I have to overcome it, I have to shatter it. That was all I had ever thought.
But today was different.
The wall, once as high as a great mountain, a wall that would only yield a tiny crack no matter how many times I struck it, was now… faintly trembling.
“This is different from before.”
I muttered softly and slowly raised my eyes. What came into view was a sight I had never seen before. On the wall that had once been nothing but a smooth, colorless surface, complex patterns were now engraved.
At the very bottom, a faintly glowing Taegeuk symbol was etched, as if to represent the harmony of yin and yang. Below it were patterns that seemed to symbolize flames, wind, and other elements.
Above that, the martial arts forms I had honed until now were intricately drawn. The Moon Shadow Sky Sword Dance, from its beginning to its completion, was laid out in a long line, as if to prove the path I had walked.
And… at the very top.
“……A pussy?”
No matter how I looked at it, it was an exquisitely detailed depiction of a woman’s lower body. And its center was conspicuously emphasized, as if done so on purpose.
Is this… the pinnacle of my enlightenment?
The path I had taken until now flashed through my mind.
The Libido App.
The power, abilities, relationships, domination, pleasure, and growth I had gained through it… My martial arts, my swordsmanship—in the end, the source of it all was the desire hidden within me, something that had begun with the Libido App.
Now… I understand.
I slowly reached out my hand. I no longer tried to break it by force.
The moment my fingertips touched the wall, it began to ripple like water. As if it had been waiting for my touch, the entire massive wall shimmered and transformed.
And from its center, right where I had placed my hand, a crack slowly began to form. The fine fissure spread across the entire wall like a living thing, growing wider and deeper.
I guess… you really have to live life doing what you love.
This wall wasn’t simply an obstacle to be overcome. It wasn’t something to be shattered and forced through, but a process of facing and accepting myself.
And the key to that process was not forgetting my roots.
Desire, pleasure, domination, obsession.
All those emotions and instincts had made me who I am. My strength, my martial arts, my victories—they were all just built on top of that foundation.
—KUUUAAAAANG!
The wall completely crumbled. A brilliant light poured in from beyond it.
I had reached a new realm. The energy radiating from my body was incomparably stronger than before, yet at the same time, it was perfectly under my control.
I slowly opened my eyes. Inside the training hall, Bi-yeon and Han Chae-yeon, who had been watching over me, stared with shocked expressions.
“It’s done,” I said as I stood up. My six long months of training were finally complete.
“Seo-yun, we’re in big trouble!” Han Chae-yeon said urgently.
“Do-cheol has a Heavenly Seal Stone and is threatening us with it!”
“Do-cheol?”
It seemed… a lot had happened during the six months I was gone.
