Tang Hye-won slowly regulated her breathing.
She had believed she was keeping herself well in check, but the words "for the good of the family" had gotten under her skin, and she'd ended up getting worked up before she knew it.
Originally, she'd planned to tighten the screws gradually until he had no choice but to accept, but she'd jumped the gun and made the offer too soon—after only a few exchanges.
But it wasn't as if there were no way to salvage it. Soon enough, her subordinates would bring news of the Blood Demon and the Underground Network's deeds.
'I'll just tip off the Financial Affairs Pavilion Master and the Strange Mechanism Pavilion Master.'
The Tang Family was divided into five pavilions.
The Martial Training Pavilion, which trained disciples and oversaw their deployment.
The Strange Mechanism Pavilion, which crafted and researched hidden weapons and mechanisms.
The Financial Affairs Pavilion, which handled finances.
The Medicine Heaven Pavilion, which researched medicines and poisons.
The External Affairs Pavilion, which oversaw outside operations.
Of these, only the Martial Training Pavilion Master was friendly toward Peng Yeon-hwa and hostile toward the family head.
The Martial Training Pavilion held the greatest authority, as every member of the family who practiced martial arts passed through it.
But smoothing over the opposition from the Strange Mechanism Pavilion and Financial Affairs Pavilion, both of which fully supported the family head, wouldn't be easy.
'Sister-in-law won't just sit idly by, then.'
In the Tang Family pavilion masters' meeting chamber.
A few days after Tang Hye-won had visited Peng Yeon-hwa, the family head and pavilion masters gathered to discuss the news that had reached the Tang Family.
"The young master of the Mok Family was kidnapped by the Blood Demon?"
"Yes. And similar incidents have occurred in other regions as well."
The Mok Family had been rooted in Sichuan for centuries already.
Compared to the Tang Family, they were insignificant, but their influence wasn't small—enough that everyone present knew of them.
For even the Mok Family's young master to be kidnapped, what on earth was the Blood Demon thinking?
"So, what's the Mok Family's response? Have they reached out to the family at all?"
Tang Hye-won's report, which had been flowing smoothly up to Tang Jo-myeong's question, paused for a moment.
"Well... strangely, he wasn't even acupoint-sealed. He was just confined somewhere and escaped while the Blood Demon was away."
"That's..."
"Yes, it matches up perfectly with Young Master Go's testimony. Right down to how the guards at the confinement site were there but had negligible martial arts."
"..."
"There haven't been any new abductions since, but the Blood Demon is causing similar incidents all over the place."
The Zhuge Family in Shaanxi, the Namgung Family in Anhui, the Huangbo Family in Shandong—three of the Five Great Families were among the confirmed targets.
Four, if you included the Tang Family.
Over ten, if you counted the smaller clans as well.
"He let all the victims escape? Has that color demon gone mad or something?"
Tang Jo-myeong spat gruffly, but his words were thick with relief.
It seemed the Tang Family alone would avoid the humiliation.
"Hard to say... but the victims all have something in common..."
"Something in common? What is it?"
The Financial Affairs Pavilion Master asked.
"All of them... are young men renowned as prodigies in their regions."
"Prodigies?"
"Ah, I've heard of it. They say the Mok young master is still young but exceptionally bright. I think there was talk of the Qingcheng Sect wanting to take him as a disciple because his talent was too good to waste."
The more they heard, the more baffling it became.
It wasn't as if he were snatching up children without any sense of right and wrong; these were young men with established values.
And instead of killing the useless ones, leaving them in limbo like that?
With a lifetime of eccentric behavior behind him, it was hard to read the man's intentions.
"So, does that mean Young Master Go is a prodigy too?"
"What does that matter?!"
The Strange Mechanism Pavilion Master slammed the table at the Medicine Heaven Pavilion Master's nonchalant remark. With all eyes on him, he unleashed the rest.
"What's important is that the Blood Demon came and went from our Tang Family like it was his own home! This is clearly the Martial Training Pavilion's responsibility!"
"What kind of nonsense is that?!"
The Martial Training Pavilion Master was dumbfounded. This wasn't just any expert—it was the Blood Demon. A monster who had survived alone, amassing grudges from both righteous and demonic sects alike, without any backing.
Even if every Tang Family expert were at the Martial Training Pavilion Master's level, the Blood Demon would have torn through them like paper. What gall!
"Don't you know who the Blood Demon is? He's a freak of nature in human form!"
"Then why hasn't this freak of nature touched any of the Nine Great Sects? Silver Screen Captain, tell them. Has even one of the Nine Great Sects allowed him entry?"
"...No."
It was a ridiculous comparison. For one, the Tang Family had one of the Five Transcendents, the Flower Transcendent Peng Yeon-hwa.
She alone had confronted him on the main street when no one else even noticed his infiltration.
Among the Nine Great Sects, only Shaolin, Huashan, and Kunlun boasted transcendent experts. Surely nearby Qingcheng and Emei were spared because they were strong?
"Ridiculous! If not for the matriarch, we might not have even known he took Young Master Go! With infiltration that stealthy...!"
"Enough. Both of you, stop."
Tang Jo-myeong cut in with a heavy voice, interrupting the Martial Training Pavilion Master.
It seemed to rebuke them both equally, but it was clear he'd intervened the moment the Martial Training Pavilion Master's real argument began.
'That little bastard...!'
The Martial Training Pavilion Master ground his teeth silently, swallowing curses he couldn't voice aloud.
With the family head jumping in the second his wife received any praise, all he could do was curse the previous generation.
If only you'd had one more son.
"It's true the Blood Demon is a transcendent expert beyond our grasp, but it's also true that stricter measures from the Martial Training Pavilion might have prevented it."
Tang Jo-myeong's words were ambiguous. But no one present missed his intent to pin even a sliver of blame on the Martial Training Pavilion.
"Intensify disciple training and overhaul security. Any additional funds needed, get approval through the Financial Affairs Pavilion."
It was sound advice, which only made it more infuriating. Just "strengthen defenses after a theft"—pure basics.
But requiring Financial Affairs Pavilion approval on top? That plunged the Martial Training Pavilion Master from irritation into despair.
That sleazy old fart grinning away was the type to rim the family head's ass clean.
"...I shall obey the family head's command."
The Martial Training Pavilion Master bowed his head in assent, grinding his teeth inwardly.
"...And that's how it went. Hngh♥"
What a pathetic power struggle.
As a reward for handling my business, I was pounding Tang Hye-won in the face-to-face sitting position.
"Looks like my involvement got buried... Do you think the Martial Training Pavilion Master got properly pressured over it?"
"Haaang♥ Doesn't... matter anyway...!"
I was thrusting slowly to allow some communication.
It was teasing, but better than the woman-on-top hell last time.
"As long as... hngh... it shows on sister-in-law... that's fine..."
The point was to make Peng Yeon-hwa think the innocent Martial Training Pavilion Master was suffering unjustly for her failure to catch me.
Whether he actually suffered or not was irrelevant.
Honestly, holding her own against my master—the pinnacle of the Three Venerables—as the lowest of the Five Transcendents was decent, but human hearts don't work logically.
Tang Hye-won figured needling her guilt like that would bring her around soon enough.
Watching her scheme so wickedly made my cock throb hard.
"No pangs of conscience for deceiving sister-in-law just to offer up your pussy?"
Squish-squish-squish-squish♥
I gripped her taut ass tight and started thrusting in earnest. A spasm ran through the hand on my back.
"Ahk♥ Sister-in-law gets something... oohk♥... good out of it too...♥"
"That's just your take. Even as I pound your pussy raw like this..."
"Hwaaaang! Baby room entrance♥ Pressed♥ so hard♥"
"Assuming all women love it feels like a bias."
"Nooo, this cock—women all loooove♥ it!"
Well, fair enough. Honestly, if this cock didn't feel good, that person was doomed never to enjoy sex.
"I'll fill you up with loads from this beloved cock!"
"Cum inside♥ Fill my baby room... that can only bear Yun babies... to the brim...!"
And so, that night too, I filled Tang Hye-won's belly to bursting with thick semen as the hours passed.
It didn't take long for the bite to come.
"To Lady Peng Yeon-hwa...?"
A few days after working the Martial Training Pavilion Master over, one morning...
"Yes, Lady Peng Yeon-hwa made an offer. If you're interested, how about learning a few techniques from her?"
Zhuge Mi-ryeong beamed as she spoke. Peng Yeon-hwa had praised me from the moment we met.
'Something like, "A bit more polish and he'd be Nine Dragons material"?'
One of the top young martial artists in the Jianghu—high praise in Zhuge Mi-ryeong's eyes.
I figured it was 99% polite flattery.
While Zhuge Mi-ryeong chattered on, Go Cheon sent me a transmission too. Multitasking would kill me.
[Learning from Lady Peng would be even better. The training hall's underground—no need to worry about the wife's prying eyes.]
This useless old man, who'd been no help at all, was already thrilled at the schmoozing opportunity with Peng Yeon-hwa.
Escort agency life make him cheap? Face of a rugged man, heart of a miser.
"Is that alright, Mother? I'm already learning the sword from Father..."
"Hmph. Even at his best, your father couldn't handle Lady Peng. Learn when you can."
Go Cheon winced, keeping it hidden from Zhuge Mi-ryeong.
Eee, that's why you shouldn't show your excitement.
After paying respects, I grabbed the sword for my Go Hyeon disguise and headed straight to Peng Yeon-hwa's quarters.
Second visit after the first, so directions were iffy, but a familiar maid named Yu-ha guided me right.
This place is fucking huge. The Sichuan Tang Family.
At the door to the underground, the sharp-eyed guard perked up. He'd heard the story and kindly opened it.
Nothing special, but thanks to Master's commotion last time, I had a big "prodigy endorsed by the Blood Demon" stamp on me.
The rest was hype; I'm the real deal...
Anyway, the guards seemed extra polite because of it.
Deeper in, there was Peng Yeon-hwa swinging her saber vigorously.
Swinging a saber slightly shorter than her height so nimbly—transcendent experts really were on another level.
Spotting my arrival, she halted mid-swing and approached.
I bowed first in greeting.
"Lady Peng, I came after hearing. I understand you're going to train me...?"
Honestly, I suspected more interest in my cock than training. Well, precisely the Ascending Immortal Art's internal energy boost.
Whatever—shove it in and pickle her in sex for days, and even Peng Yeon-hwa would fall. That was Tang Hye-won's plan.
"Yes. I heard you use the recommended method, but your little aunt watched and said you only use the sword."
Huh?
"So I figured I should take a look. Let's see your skills first."
What?
Ignoring my confusion, Peng Yeon-hwa raised her saber to middle guard, nodding once.
Hey. We're doing sex today, right? This isn't just straight training, is it?
