The Worst Legacy Left by My Master Stands Tall and Erect
I approached the Great Mother, Dan Biyeon, who was collapsed on the floor and bleeding.
Having realized the overwhelming difference in our martial power, she seemed to have lost even the will to resist, looking up at me with hollow eyes.
"Why on earth did you pull a stunt like this? You and I only just met today."
At my question, Dan Biyeon bit her bloodless lips tightly and spat out in a hoarse voice,
"Kill me."
"Huh? Are you kidding me right now? This lady is really..."
Dumbfounded, I pressed a hand to my forehead.
"If I just up and kill you here, I'll become mortal enemies with the entire Kaifeng Red Light District. Why would I do something so stupid? Besides, if I kill you, how is Soso supposed to look at me?"
Hit by my hard truth bomb, Dan Biyeon couldn't muster a single reply, her lips merely trembling.
I plopped down right in front of her nose, silently telling her to cut the crap.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what the hell happened between you and my master. What kind of grudge is so deep that you'd launch into a life-or-death battle the very first time we meet?"
At my question, Dan Biyeon let out a hollow, mad laugh.
"Heh... Hehehe... Can you not see it even after looking?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
I narrowed my eyes and scanned Dan Biyeon from head to toe.
Her clothes had been torn in various places during our fight earlier... and the silhouette of her undergarments, visible through the deep slit on her lower half, was bizarrely unnatural.
Wait, what? Why is there a bulge there?
Between her thighs, a shape that absolutely should not belong to a woman's body was proudly asserting its presence through the fabric.
"......?!"
In an instant, my eyes grew as wide as saucers.
"W-What! You were a man?!"
At my shocked exclamation, Dan Biyeon's eyes shot with blood.
"No!! I am not a man!!"
She wailed, spewing beast-like fury, before clutching her chest and suddenly coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"Cough, cough! *Gah!*"
"Hey, lady! Alright, calm down!"
I rushed over and tapped several acupoints on her back, using acupressure to disperse her congested Qi.
Finally able to breathe, Dan Biyeon panted heavily and gnashed her teeth.
"Pant, pant... The reason I became this hideous monstrosity... is all because of your master, that devil of a woman, Baekryeon!"
The hatred swirling in her eyes was so deep that even I felt a chill run down my spine from her cold, murderous intent.
"We first met forty years ago."
Wait, forty years ago? Then just how old are my master and this lady?!
Regardless of my internal freak-out, Dan Biyeon stared blankly into space, reminiscing about the past.
"Our connection began when she saved my life. With her profound martial arts and easygoing personality, we quickly became as close as real sisters. And then... even though we were both women, we fell into a deep relationship, coveting each other's bodies."
Geez, Master's tastes... Well, not like I'm one to talk.
"Baekryeon taught me the Red Lotus Pure Palm, along with a special inner Qi cultivation technique of her own. Thrilled at the thought of learning peerless martial arts, I trained day and night. And finally, the moment I mastered the technique..."
Dan Biyeon bit her lip hard in shame.
"This... this horrible male organ grew on my body."
"......"
My jaw dropped so hard it nearly unhinged as I reeled in shock.
No, wait. I know from my own experience that a martial art's side effect can turn a man into a woman, but there's a martial art that grows a dick on a woman?! Our Divine Maiden Sect... shouldn't a perverted sect like this just be wiped off the face of the earth?
I broke out in a cold sweat, seriously contemplating disbanding the sect.
But no matter how much I racked my brain, I had no memory of learning such a bizarre martial art from my master.
I smacked my lips awkwardly and offered some words of consolation.
"Man... you must have suffered a lot all this time."
Dan Biyeon let out a dry, mocking chuckle at my words.
"Suffered? From the day I mastered that technique, I was reduced to nothing more than a masturbation toy for that devil Baekryeon! We coupled every single day. Even so... because I truly loved her, I endured even that humiliation."
Thick tears began to drip from her eyes.
"But she left me, tossing me aside like a worn-out shoe, with nothing but a single sentence: 'I'm bored of you now'!"
Hearing of my perverted master's atrocious behavior, I couldn't bring myself to defend her at all.
"If that were all, I would have resented only Baekryeon. But...!"
She glared straight at me with bloodshot eyes and whispered chillingly,
"It wasn't just me! I am not the only victim who was subjected to this state by that devilish bitch Baekryeon!"
"W-What?!"
"I gathered those victims, along with women who had nowhere else to go and abandoned orphans, to establish this Manhwaru. All for the sole purpose of taking revenge on that devil, Baekryeon!"
The truth spilling from Dan Biyeon's mouth was a shock that surpassed all imagination.
To think that Manhwaru wasn't just a simple brothel, but a revenge organization made of people harboring grudges against my master, the former Sect Leader of the Divine Maiden Sect.
"And... I know the true secret of the Divine Maiden Sect, which no one else in the world knows."
The corners of Dan Biyeon's mouth curled up in a bizarre smirk, and my pupils began to tremble uneasily.
Don't tell me...
"The fact that the only ones who can properly master the secret techniques of the Divine Maiden Sect... are 'men'!"
"......!!"
Instantly, every joint in my body locked up. My mind went completely blank, and my heart sank.
How the hell does this lady know that...?!
"H-Huh? Come on, make some sense. Ahahaha! I'm a woman, so how could a man learn the martial arts? That's just ridiculous!"
I broke out in a cold sweat and tried to laugh it off, but Dan Biyeon glared at me with sheer contempt.
"Do not lie! You were planning to teach Soso that cursed martial art and turn her into a monster just like me, weren't you?!"
"I said no!"
I practically jumped in frustration and shouted,
"I've never learned any weird martial art that makes a dick sprout, and I have absolutely zero intention of teaching it to Soso! I'm serious! And when you think about it, this is all the shit my bitch of a master took. Why are you taking it out on me? I'm the victim here!!"
Dan Biyeon stared at me with bloodshot eyes for a moment before speaking with a highly skeptical look.
"Do you truly not know?"
"Ah, I'm telling you the truth! I only received martial arts training from my master..."
My voice trailed off as I swallowed a gulp of cold sweat.
Other than that, I just swiped a few weirdly shaped dildos from the storage room... but hey, there's no need to mention that.
I cleared my throat and quickly continued.
"Anyway, I swear on my life I've never seen or heard of such a horrific martial art that makes a male organ sprout on a woman!"
At my desperate plea of innocence, Dan Biyeon's expression seemed to soften slightly, but she soon drove the point home in a firm voice.
"The martial arts of the Divine Maiden Sect... are things that should never exist in this world."
"Exactly. I'm slowly starting to think the same way."
I nodded with a deeply sincere look.
But her words suddenly sparked a strange curiosity in me.
Honestly, from my perspective, wasn't I currently forced into being a woman?
If so, a thought crossed my mind: if I could somehow apply that 'dick-sprouting martial art,' maybe I could reclaim my lost precious treasure.
"Um... just out of curiosity, about that martial art that makes a male organ grow. If I were to study it just once, maybe I could find a way to return to my original..."
"Silence!!"
Before I could even finish testing the waters, Dan Biyeon's eyes flashed as she cut me off.
"That devil's martial art will never see the light of day again! I will search every corner of the earth to find and utterly destroy any books, manuals, records, or even the slightest clues related to it."
Faced with Dan Biyeon's stubborn attitude and sharp, murderous aura, I couldn't say another word and simply pouted, sticking my lips out.
Come on... if we study it, we might actually find a way to turn me back.
Swallowing my disappointment, I looked around and spotted the monk sprawled out in the corner of the room.
"By the way, who is that monk? He seemed pretty strong earlier."
At my question, Dan Biyeon let out a deep sigh and looked affectionately at the collapsed, giant monk.
"He is... my biological older brother."
"Excuse me?"
Despite my dumbfounded reaction, Dan Biyeon calmly continued.
"The people of the world call my brother the 'Blood Monk,' one of the Sixteen Stars of Heaven."
"The Sixteen Stars of Heaven?"
I widened my eyes and took another close look at the unconscious monk—no, the Blood Monk—lying on the floor.
Oho, the Sixteen Stars of Heaven. So he's one of the sixteen absolute masters who hold sway over the Jianghu?
Along with my internal surprise, a strange sense of pride swelled within me.
After all, I had just knocked out a master with the grand title of the Sixteen Stars of Heaven in a single blow.
What, are the other Sixteen Stars only at this level? Then they're nothing to be afraid of. Am I actually the strongest under the heavens?
As I was humming to myself, lost in self-praise, Dan Biyeon snorted, as if she had read my expression.
"Do not be so arrogant. When it comes to pure martial arts, my brother is merely at the bottom of the Sixteen Stars of Heaven. The real monsters at the top are on a completely different level."
Dan Biyeon gestured with her chin toward the steel bamboo hat rolling on the floor and continued.
"The only reason I called my brother was because of that weapon. I believed that his Pagang Hyeollip, one of the Ten Great Demonic Weapons specifically designed to shatter an opponent's protective Qi, would be more than enough to counter the Qi techniques of the Divine Maiden Sect..."
Dan Biyeon's voice trailed off in bitter disappointment.
Ten Great Demonic Weapons? Geez, Jianghu folks really love their 'Ten Great' prefixes. They even call our Divine Maiden Sect one of the Ten Great Mysterious Sects.
I grumbled to myself.
And what the hell is the 'Sixteen Stars of Heaven' instead of the 'Ten Great Masters'? Did they just squeeze in sixteen people because cutting it off at ten was too awkward? Talk about a terrible naming sense.
It was right when I was inwardly mocking the childish naming sense of the Jianghu martial artists.
"Mmm... haaa..."
A labored, strange groan escaped from Dan Biyeon's mouth as she lay on the floor.
As she began to tremble slightly, breaking out in a cold sweat, I flinched and took a step closer.
Uh-oh. Did I hit her too hard when I countered?
"Um, lady. Are you okay?"
The moment I gently placed my hand on her shoulder out of concern—
"Ah...! Don't touch me!"
Dan Biyeon gasped in shock and violently slapped my hand away.
However, the sound that escaped her lips was somehow different from a cry of pain.
"Haaah... ah... *grunt*..."
Far from being contorted in pain, her face was flushed bright red, and her breath was as wild and hot as a beast's.
Huh? Wait a minute. This is weird. That doesn't sound like she's in pain.
As I stared at her with a puzzled look, Dan Biyeon whipped her flushed face away and cried out urgently,
"Get out! Get out of my sight this instant!!"
"Hey, why are you suddenly acting like this? You have to tell me what's wrong so I can help you or something."
I stubbornly grabbed her arm.
"If you're hurt somewhere, let me see—*gasp*?!"
"No... don't look!!"
The moment my gaze landed on Dan Biyeon's lower half, I nearly fell backward.
"W-Wait! Why the hell are you getting an erection right now?!"
Her massive dick, which had been completely flaccid just moments ago, was now engorged to the point where its veins looked ready to burst, standing tall and proud.
At my shout, Dan Biyeon's eyes welled up with tears of humiliation as she panted like a wild animal.
"Ugh... this devil's martial art... is making me... ah!"
"What about the martial art?!"
Dan Biyeon gasped for air and spat out words filled with resentment.
"From the moment I mastered this horrific technique taught by that bitch Baekryeon... my body became unable to endure unless I coupled with a woman once a day...! Until now, I've managed to suppress the Yang Qi with my inner Qi, but..."
She clutched her lower half as if in agony.
"Now that my inner Qi has been completely depleted from my fight with you, the suppressed Yang Qi has begun to run rampant...! Ah, *grunt*!"
"Are you crazy?!"
I couldn't contain my shock.
No, wait. Not only does she grow a dick as a side effect, but she also has an estrus side effect where she can't survive without holding a woman every day?! What kind of horrific, bastardized martial art did my master teach this lady?!
While my mind was in a chaotic whirl, Dan Biyeon's condition was rapidly deteriorating. Her eyes were gradually losing focus, turning hazy and vacant.
"Haaah... it's so hot... someone, please..."
The Great Mother, Dan Biyeon, was twisting her hips and rubbing her body against the floor like a beast in heat.
Watching her, I swallowed hard.
"Look, lady. Even if things are like this, you can't do it with me. You know that, right?"
I warned her as I took a step back, but my words didn't seem to register with Dan Biyeon, who was rapidly losing her sanity.
