Chapter 700: Eternal Spire (78)
The newly joined Jessica and our party gathered together for dinner.
“HI~ Nice to meet you! I’m Jessica, a healer from the Holy Cross Knights~ I look forward to working with you all!”
As Jessica gave a sweet greeting, Park Min-jun was the first to respond, raising both hands high with a bright smile.
“We’ll be counting on you, Instructor!”
His face was full of anticipation and delight. On the other hand, Ryu Seol, sitting next to him, shot him a sideways glare. Pouting her lips, she quietly took a sip of her drink.
Heh, keep being jealous.
Seo Eun-ha led the atmosphere smoothly with a nod.
“It’s much more reassuring to have Instructor Jessica with us. I think our dungeon raids will be a lot more stable from now on.”
Han So-young stole a glance at Jessica’s overwhelming breasts from across the table and gave a small, timid greeting like a shrinking violet.
“I look forward to working with you too…”
Jessica made eye contact with each party member and smiled.
“I’m looking forward to it as well, everyone.”
Internally, I still felt a sense of repulsion, but since I was the one who called her in, I had to deal with it.
Ryu Seol whipped her head toward Park Min-jun.
“Min-jun, are you that happy? You seem pretty excited that the instructor is here.”
Park Min-jun waved his hands in embarrassment.
“N-no, it’s not like that… It’s just that our party finally has a healer, so…”
Ryu Seol turned away with a cold expression.
“Hmph. I don’t see what’s so great about a woman who’s all tits and nothing else.”
I saw Jessica catch Ryu Seol’s comment and flash a meaningful smile.
She’s reading the room.
Jessica was likely aiming for Park Min-jun. As such, she seemed to have quickly picked up on the relationship between him and Ryu Seol.
“Is Taeyang the leader of the party right now?”
Everyone nodded at Jessica’s question. Then, Park Min-jun spoke up thoughtlessly.
“Hyung is the leader, but since Instructor Jessica is here, shouldn’t we maybe change it?”
“Hey, Park Min-jun. Why are you deciding that on your own…?”
Seo Eun-ha spoke with a frosty face, and Han So-young’s expression wasn’t great either.
“But the instructor is higher level and has more experience…”
Park Min-jun looked bewildered, as if he didn't understand why what he said was a problem.
Jessica laughed, waving her hand lightly.
“Fufu, I appreciate the thought, Min-jun, but I was basically ordered only to assist this party. I’m just a casual advisor and a healer for you all. The party must be led entirely by you guys~”
“Ah…”
Park Min-jun nodded with an awkward expression.
I crossed my arms and looked at Jessica.
“Hey, Jessica. You’ll step in during extremely dangerous situations, right?”
“Of course, I might step in if it’s dangerous, but fundamentally, you all have to take the lead. Growth has to happen on your own, after all.”
Seo Eun-ha nodded and said, “Understood. Then we’ll maintain the current system.”
Jessica smiled with satisfaction and picked up her fork.
“Great~ Then let’s eat. We’ll be busy starting tomorrow, so you should get plenty of rest today.”
The meal began. The conversation naturally flowed toward the dungeon.
“By the way, which dungeon are we planning to go to next?” Han So-young asked cautiously.
Seo Eun-ha replied, “We’ll probably be assigned to an intermediate dungeon. Our party’s average level is starting to get up there.”
“An intermediate dungeon already? Will we be okay…?”
Han So-young’s voice trembled. I lightly stroked her head.
“Oi, oi~ Don’t worry. You’ve got yours truly, don’t you?”
“Hehe…”
Han So-young blushed and smiled.

After dinner, everyone stood up and scattered to their respective rooms.
“Well then, get some good rest today, and let’s meet early tomorrow morning.”
Everyone nodded at Seo Eun-ha’s words.
“Yes!”
As the party members left one by one, Jessica glanced my way and mouthed silently.
‘Want to talk for a bit, just the two of us?’
‘Fine.’
Once everyone else had cleared out, only Jessica and I remained.
I spoke first.
“So, what’s the reason you wanted to talk?”
“Heh. You don’t use that weird way of speaking with me, do you?”
“Stop the bullshit and get to the point.”
“Impatient, aren’t we?”
When I glared at her coldly, Jessica shrugged.
“Fine, straight to the point. First, I heard you personally requested me for the party, but you clearly act like you dislike me. Why did you request me?”
“Because we needed a healer.”
“Oh my, who would believe such an obvious lie? You know exactly what my identity and tastes are. Did you hear about me from Austin?”
“I can’t say.”
I kept it vague on purpose to let her misunderstand.
“Well, I think I have a general idea. So, the reason you wanted me?”
I said it bluntly.
“You’re aiming for Park Min-jun, aren’t you?”
The corners of Jessica’s mouth curled up.
“Yeah, that cute boy. He’s perfectly my type. I’m dying to let him taste the magnum hanging between my legs.”
“Keep doing that. In fact, I’d like you to shake him up so thoroughly that the girl you saw earlier, Ryu Seol, goes crazy with jealousy.”
Jessica laughed and narrowed her eyes.
“Aha~ You’re aiming for that pink-haired girl, aren’t you?”
“Yeah.”
Jessica nodded, looking intrigued.
“Interesting. That happens to be my specialty.”
I chuckled and leaned back in my chair.
“Glad to hear you’re an expert.”
“Is that it? Nothing else?”
“That’s all. However, I’ll give you one warning.”
I slowly raised my arm.
“If you keep using that fucking tone with me, I’ll kill you.”
“How scary… Hearing you say that almost makes me piss myself…”
“And if you touch my women because you’re annoyed with me…”
I pointed my index finger toward Jessica’s face.
Pshk!
“—!”
A single streak of blood trickled down Jessica’s cheek.
“I’ll kill you.”
“Crazy… you monster.”
The bastard wiped the wound with his hand, breaking into a cold sweat.
“What? Is your Super Regeneration not working?”
I had tried attacking by moving my Divine Power, and I discovered a very interesting effect.
“…I don’t know how someone like you is a rookie. I wonder if Austin can actually control a monster like you.”
“That retard thinks he can control me?”
“Now you’re openly insulting the Guild Master in front of me?”
“Why? Going to go tattle?”
Jessica stared at me for a long time before letting out a short, dry laugh.
“Ha… You really are an unpleasant prick. It seems you even know that I hate Austin… and I can’t do anything when a monster like you is threatening me.”
“If you have a problem, feel free to come at me anytime.”
Jessica finally wiped the wound on his cheek with a fingertip and stood up.
“Fine. I won’t touch your women. I’ll only take Park Min-jun. In exchange, just don’t kill me when the job is done. If you ask… I’m willing to help you out.”
I shrugged.
“What’s this? Not the reaction I expected. Given your personality, I thought you’d try to get revenge behind my back.”
Jessica let out a hollow laugh.
“How do you even know my personality?”
“I’m not obligated to tell you, am I?”
“Ha, annoying. It’s a losing battle to fight a monster like you. And… when you sparred with Kang Hyun-woo, you were hiding your strength on purpose, weren’t you?”
“Sharp as always.”
“Ha, I really stepped in it this time. Austin looks like a joke now.”
“You want to see Austin get fucked over too, don’t you?”
Jessica shook his head in exasperation.
“Just how do you know things that nobody else knows?”
I intentionally put on a meaningful expression.
“If you find that out, you’ll have to die… Do you still want to know?”
Jessica raised both hands and took a step back.
“Forget it, forget it. I don’t even want to know. I’m leaving.”
As Jessica headed for the door, I threw out one last word.
“Oh, and when you mess with Park Min-jun, make sure Ryu Seol gets a good look. That’s where the fun is.”
Opening the door, Jessica gave a short laugh.
“…Well, that much is easy.”
Hearing the door close, I muttered to myself.
As expected, he’s quick on the uptake. I was originally planning to dispose of him once the job was done, but…
Honestly, as long as he doesn't pull that shit in front of me, the guy is quite useful. To climb the Tower in the future, the more useful talents I have, the better.
It wouldn’t be bad to put him in the position of the Holy Cross Knights’ Guild Master and pull his strings.
I slowly stood up from my seat.

When I opened my bedroom door and went inside, Han So-young was sitting on the bed waiting for me.
“Oppa…♡”
“You came again?”
“Hehe, I wanted to sleep next to you…”
I chuckled and lightly stroked So-young’s hair.
“You’ve completely developed a taste for sex, haven’t you? You’ve become quite slutty.”
“You’re the one who made me like this, Oppa.”
Han So-young clung to my arm, acting cute.
“Oppa, hurry up and lie down! Hold me!”
“Alright, alright.”
I lightly undressed and lay down on the bed. So-young burrowed into my arms, burying her nose in the crook of my neck and sniffing.
“Huaa, Taeyang Oppa’s scent… sniff sniff…”
Seeing that triggered my mischievous side.
“Doing that with such a gloomy face… ugh, it’s creepy.”
She pouted and looked up at me.
“Ugh, creepy? That’s mean! And I’m not gloomy anymore! I’m a pro at social life now!”
I chuckled at her words and gave her nipple a sharp tug.
“What are you talking about? You’re still a total loser. You were totally intimidated by Jessica earlier.”
“Hng…♡ But… that unnie looks exactly like the bully who used to pick on me.”
“Good grief, you little dork. So, did you come here because you want to do it today?”
Han So-young pouted as if offended, but quickly burrowed back into my arms. Then, she placed her palm on my chest and slowly traced circles, stroking down as if tickling me.
“Yes! We haven’t done it for a few days~ So… just a little bit today, can I just have a taste?”
“What do you mean, just a taste? We’re doing it all night. It’s been a while since I’ve tasted your pussy, so open up.”
“Yes~”
She smiled shyly and slowly spread her legs.
“Our So-young, your pussy lips are so plump and delicious-looking.”
“Hehe, hurry up and put your cock into my pussy hole, Oppa…”
I curled my lip and whispered playfully.
“Uh-huh, who told you to beg like that? I’m going to take my time tasting it today, so open your pussy wider.”
As if conscious of my gaze, she used both hands to spread her pussy even wider. The moist, pink pussy flesh throbbed before my eyes as if tempting me.
“Phew… Maybe it’s because it’s been a while, but the scent is even stronger. So erotic.”
“Ahang~♡”
I lowered my head and began to slowly lick Han So-young’s pussy flesh with the tip of my tongue. As the thick vaginal fluid touched my tongue, a salty yet sweet aroma spread throughout my mouth.
“You’re already this wet. You really have a slutty body, So-young.”
“Aaaah…♡ Oppa, please… hurry…”
I intentionally moved even slower, teasing her sensitive parts with only my fingertips and tongue.
“What are you so desperate for? Say it. What do you want so badly?”
So-young panted, her voice trembling.
“Oppa’s cock… please put it in… into my pussy…♡”
I chuckled and spread her thighs once more.
“Can’t be helped then. For a pussy that begs so gloomily, I’ll have to ram it myself.”
I aimed my cock over So-young’s hole.
“I’m ramming into So-young’s slutty pussy!”
Squelch!
“Ogh…♡”
“Ooh-hyo!”
Looking down at the trembling Han So-young, I thought of Park So-young.
It would be pretty fun to overlap her with Park So-young, who has the same name, and take them both at once.
