Chapter 702: Eternal Spire (80)
I shifted her position. Her firm buttocks were ripe and tempting.
"Hng... Ah... Do you... Do you really have to go that far...?"
Ryu Seol's voice was trembling. However, she didn't push my hand away.
"Of course, Master. For your internal energy to circulate properly from the lower dantian, we have to stimulate this area as well."
I lied with a deadpan expression. My hand was already brushing against the edge of her panties, and the sensation of the damp fabric reached my fingertips. Ryu Seol's breathing was becoming increasingly ragged.
"Ugh... But why... why does my body keep feeling so hot...?"
"As I mentioned before, it's because your body is starting to adapt to the internal energy. You've become more sensitive."
In reality, it was because of my Sexual Aura, but there was no way she could know that. Since the last massage, her body remembered my touch and was responding reflexively—just like Pavlov's dog.
"Haa... It's strange... Something is definitely strange..."
"Master, please lie down more comfortably. If you're tense, it interferes with the circulation of energy."
"Lie down comfortably...? In this situation...?"
Despite her words, she began to relax her body according to my instructions. Her shoulders slumped, and the tension between her legs dissipated. I didn't miss the opportunity and pushed my hand in deeper.
"Hyaaaaang...! Hey, hey... Not there...!"
My fingers touched her most sensitive spot directly through her panties.
"There is an important acupoint here as well. It must be properly stimulated."
"An acupoint...? Haa... Haa... That's not what that place is...!"
Ryu Seol protested, but her voice lacked conviction. Instead, it was laced with a tremor that suggested she was afraid I might actually stop. I slowly began to push her panties to one side.
"Wait, wait! Why are you taking them off?!"
"Direct skin contact is much more effective."
"I've... I've never heard of such a thing..."
"That's because you don't know much about martial arts, Master. You have to trust me."
When I spoke firmly, Ryu Seol couldn't argue any further.
Heh, she probably thinks that since I'm under hypnosis, I'm incapable of lying.
She bit her lip and turned her head away. It seemed she was too embarrassed to look me in the face.
As her panties were pulled completely aside, her most private area was revealed. It was already quite wet, looking as if it were waiting for my touch. Ryu Seol's face was flushed a deep crimson.
"Ugh... Don't look..."
"I'm sorry, but I can't do this without looking. This is all so you can get stronger, so please bear with it."
I applied a bit more oil to my hand and began to stroke her pussy directly. At the first touch, Ryu Seol's entire body convulsed.
"Haang...! N-no... It's weird... My body is going crazy...!"
"It's a normal reaction. It's proof that your internal energy is circulating vigorously."
My fingers found her most sensitive spot and began to draw slow circles. Ryu Seol's reaction was instantaneous. Her hips bucked as if they were about to lift off the bedsheets.
"Ang...! Geum Taeyang... Is this... Is this really right...?"
"Of course. The way your body is reacting is all due to the internal energy."
It was a lie. But she wanted to believe that lie. No, she had to believe it. That was the only way she could justify the intense pleasure she was feeling right now.
As I began to explore deeper with my fingers, Ryu Seol's moans grew more violent. She gripped the pillow and shook her head from side to side.
"Aaaaah... No... I feel so strange... I feel like my body is melting...!"
"That's normal. It means the internal energy is spreading throughout your entire body."
I continued to caress her. This time, while one hand worked below, the other began to fondle her breast. Ryu Seol's nipple was already standing hard.
"My breast too...?"
"Yes, this is an important area connected to the upper dantian."
When I lightly pinched her nipple from behind, Ryu Seol let out a sharp cry.
"Haaaaang...!"
"Your body seems to have become very sensitive. I'll be a bit gentler."
I shifted to a more delicate touch. However, that felt more like torture to her. Ryu Seol was now a complete slave to my touch. Her body responded exactly as I desired.
"Hng... Nng... Geum Taeyang... Something... something is weird... My lower abdomen feels so full..."
"The internal energy will complete its cycle soon. Just hold on a little longer."
As I picked up the rhythm, Ryu Seol's body reacted even more violently. Her legs spread wide unconsciously, and her hips pushed toward my hand.
"Ah... Ang... No... I really shouldn't... But... But it feels so...!"
At that moment, footsteps were suddenly heard from the hallway. Ryu Seol's eyes snapped wide open.
"Hey, someone's coming!"
"Shh..."
Fortunately, it seemed to be someone just passing by.
I pressed my fingers against her mouth. Then, Ryu Seol reflexively began to suck on my fingers without even realizing it.
"Mmph... Mmmph..."
I resumed my caresses. This time, more intensely, more deeply. Ryu Seol tried to stifle her moans by biting down on the blanket, but even that wasn't easy.
"Mmmph... Mmmph... Geum Taeyang...♡ This isn't right... Stop for a second..."
"It's almost done. Just a little more..."
As I focused my stimulation on her pussy and clitoris, Ryu Seol's body gave one final convulsion.
"Ngh-hit...♡ Something... something's coming out...!"
And in that moment, Ryu Seol reached her climax. A stream of clear fluid sprayed from her pussy. I watched the sight with satisfaction.
"Haa... Haa... What... what was that...?"
"Your internal energy has completed its cycle perfectly. You should be fine for a few days now."
Ryu Seol stared at the ceiling, breathing heavily. Her body was still trembling from the afterglow.
"Hey... Is this really how it's supposed to be...? It's so different from last time..."
"Of course. I'm a real man who doesn't tell lies."
Unable to find the words to refute me, Ryu Seol eventually began to gently stroke her lower belly and muttered.
"Shit... I have no choice but to believe you... My internal energy has doubled since last time..."
I laughed inwardly. This was only the beginning. For the next month... no, for much longer than that, Ryu Seol wouldn't be able to escape my grasp.

There were no dungeon plans for a while.
This was because I had personally sought out Austin and requested that we focus on individual training for the party members for the time being.
The guy readily agreed, which is why I was currently sparring with Seo Eun-ha in the middle of the training grounds.
What was Ryu Seol doing?
Heh, since that day, she's been sneaking into my room every night to get a 'massage.'
During the day, she blushes and runs away the moment she sees me, and she acts like she doesn't even know me in front of others.
Though her attitude toward me has softened quite a bit lately.
Lost in thought, I was snapped back to reality by Seo Eun-ha's firm shout.
"Don't get distracted!"
Her rapier lunged forward with precision, aiming straight for my heart, but I lightly parried it with my crushing staff and stepped aside.
"Eun-ha-chan~ Osoi~ (So slow~)"
Seo Eun-ha's scowl deepened at my smug expression.
"Ugh, that tone... and that face... You're really mocking me... I seriously want to punch you..."
I grinned and pointed out her posture.
"Lower your hips more and keep your center of gravity forward. If you lung forward like that, you're leaving openings everywhere~ Come on, again."
Seo Eun-ha exhaled and gripped her rapier again. Her gaze grew even sharper.
Whoosh!
This time, it was a feint. She pretended to aim high before instantly switching to a low strike.
"Oh, not bad."
I took a step back and dodged.
"But still too slow~"
"...Hup!"
Seo Eun-ha unleashed a flurry of attacks. The tip of her rapier whistled as it cut through the air.

Swish! Swish! Swish!
But to my eyes, every movement was crystal clear.
She's improved a lot.
I parried her attack and lightly poked her nipple.
Tap.
"Hey!"
Seo Eun-ha recoiled, clutching her chest.
"Eun-ha-chan, your defense is sloppy. If you only focus on attacking, you leave openings like this~"
"...I'm seriously going to kill you."
"If you don't want that to happen, defend properly!"
"Fine. Again."
Seo Eun-ha didn't give up and continued to swing her rapier. She tried to find an opening several times, but she was blocked by my crushing staff every single time. After about thirty minutes, she finally collapsed to her knees.
"Haa... Haa... I just... I can't beat you..."
I smirked playfully and tilted my chin up.
"Oi, oi~ Tired already?"
"Shut up..."
Seo Eun-ha snapped back irritably, wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
I picked her up and sat her down on a wooden bench in the distance. Then, I handed her a water bottle I had prepared.
"Here, drink some water."
"...Thanks."
Seo Eun-ha gulped it down for a long while before catching her breath and glancing up at me.
"By the way, Taeyang."
"Yeah?"
"W-we... I mean..."
Her voice was small and trembling. Unlike her usual confident self, she looked somewhat bashful.
"Don't be nervous, just say it."
"D-do you want to go on a date...?"
"Uhyo~!"
Seo Eun-ha's face immediately turned beet red as she shouted.
"Give me a normal answer!"
I chuckled and shrugged my shoulders.
"Heh, our Eun-ha is so cute. Asking me out on a date first~"
"W-who's 'our' Eun-ha?! ...Seriously, you idiot..."
Seo Eun-ha hid her face behind the water bottle and avoided my gaze. She looked so incredibly cute that I added one more teasing remark.
"Well, since you listened to me well today, I'll specially grant your request for a date!"
"Seriously... is there no way to fix your way of speaking...?"
"Ahem, this is my identity!"
"So you do know your way of speaking is weird!"
Even as she grumbled, the corners of Seo Eun-ha's mouth were slightly turned up.
Heh, Ryu Seol is great, but... breaking Eun-ha's Purity Vow is important too.
I dropped the playfulness and called her name in a serious voice.
"Eun-ha."
"W-what... Why are you calling me so seriously all of a sudden...?"
"Shall we kiss?"
"R-right now...?"
Seo Eun-ha's cheeks flushed deep red, and she hurriedly looked around. After confirming that no one was around in the forest, she gave a shy nod.
Then, with her face completely crimson, she carefully closed her eyes and pouted her lips like a duck.

Man, she really is too cute when she's like this.
I smiled, gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and very slowly pressed my lips against hers.
"Mmph, chuu... nng..."
Seo Eun-ha kept her eyes tightly shut, responding clumsily to my lips with a slight tremor. Because it was her first time, it felt even cuter and purer, and that subtle sensation made my heart flutter.
As I pulled away, I whispered playfully.
"Uhyo~! Eun-ha-chan's lips, getto!"
Seo Eun-ha's face turned even redder at those words. She lowered her head and muttered softly.
"...You idiot. You said the exact same thing last time."
Her voice was small, but it was filled with excitement and happiness.
