The Two-Faced Holy Maiden (3)
"Khut, as expected, that smooth tongue of yours suits polite speech far better than that mismatched casual tone."
She squeezed my head tightly against her chest.
"Keuk, keuk!"
Crushed between breasts larger than my own head, I gasped for air. Instead of loosening her grip, she only pressed harder and screamed into my ear.
"You called me a fucking bitch. You happily pounded me while spouting nonsense about threesomes! And you still had the nerve to shoot thick cum inside me. What? You don't remember any of it!?"
Breathless, I felt her yank my hair. My vision began to blur.
'Fucking bitch? Three months? Threesome?'
Memories flooded back instantly. The pussy-nist. That especially sticky sensation when I thrust, the harmonious sounds we made, even those especially sweet moans. I'd searched for her inside the Chastity Unit afterward but gave up when I couldn't find her.
'Since I mixed with the most vulgar one among them, she probably wanted me to pretend I didn't know who she was.'
Honestly, after taking that aphrodisiac in the dark room and receiving some bizarre great technique, I'd been pounding away mindlessly. Remembering every single woman was impossible.
Still, if she'd realized her mistake and was crying, the manly thing to do was offer a sweet apology first—even if it wasn't entirely sincere.
"Ahem. I-I remember now. Ahem. I apologize for that. Hup, it's suffocating because of your breasts. Loosen up a little, would you?"
"Oh? Acting all high and mighty now? Do you even know what you did wrong?"
She'd switched into full wife mode. Making some lame excuse here would only bring a storm I didn't want to face. Especially if she pulled out "no pussy," I could already picture myself falling into qi deviation on the spot, young cult leader candidate or not.
Yes. Time for the ideal husband's signature move: pathetic-level fake empathy.
Of course, with some unfunny aegyo thrown in.
"Oh nooo, our Holy Maiden—no, Jo-yeong-jjing—is very upset, isn't sheee?"
"Die! Just die!"
Her plain, unadorned fist shot straight toward my face.
"W-What! Shield!"
Startled by the sheer speed, I reflexively cast a defensive spell. The third-circle Shield manifested in front of my face—eight semi-transparent layers in total. Because I'd skipped every unnecessary formula and cast it in desperate haste, each layer looked crude and misshapen.
Yet every single one supposedly carried the enlightenment of Archmage Mohn Hodge and thirty years of magical philosophy… or so I thought.
- Crack! Shatter! -
- Crash! Crunch! -
- Crackle! -
- BOOM! -
"Keoheok!"
Her slender fist shattered every layer in a single strike and slammed squarely into the center of my face without losing momentum.
'At least an orbital fracture……'
My thoughts ended there.

"Hmph. You look ridiculous sprawled out like a frog. Serves you right."
The Holy Maiden, wearing a benevolent expression, gently stroked the chest of the stupid man lying spread-eagled on her bed.
"Mixing bodies with this guy that day for no reason……"
Her life had been utterly monotonous.
Born as Sa Jo-yeong in the era when the previous Sex Demon Cult's young leader still drew breath, she had been chosen as the new Holy Maiden even before she was born. Memories of anything outside the cult were few and far between.
When she reached her late teens, she had mastered every martial art and ritual required of a Holy Maiden. On the final day of the year she turned nineteen, she was officially installed as the Sex Demon Cult's Holy Maiden.
In her twenties, the compass meant to select the young cult leader candidate remained motionless, as though broken.
In her thirties, living deep in the mountains slightly removed from the cult's center, she was forbidden from meeting men. Yet the reproductive instinct imprinted at the genetic level made her crave them anyway.
Still, the compass never moved.
Thus she entered her forties.
Because of their secret sex arts and isolated lifestyle, Holy Maidens' physical age halted in their late twenties. Her body had ripened to the point that even a passing eunuch would climax at the sight of her. Moreover, she retained the body of peak sexual desire, so despite never having known a man, she was tormented by lust every single day.
All she was permitted, however, was a small residence, the Holy Maiden Hall, and a hollow title.
Instead of relieving that thirst, she began studying various external martial arts. The fifties and sixties passed; the seventies arrived. Day after day she trained, and at night she imagined the face of the "master" she had never met, tempering her weaknesses through the years.
She could never use any tool resembling a man's member. Her first time, wherever it occurred, had to be offered to the one heaven would someday appoint.
Even at that age she faithfully offered blood to the compass every few months, praying this time her master would be chosen.
Sa Jo-yeong discovered that pure martial arts suited her surprisingly well and trained with fervor. Before long her cultivation reached Hwagyeong, not merely the Extreme Demonic Realm. The bone transformation she tasted made her body even younger, appearing to be in its mid-twenties.
After so many years of training she had even forgotten the joy of accumulating power. Just as she considered stopping, change arrived without warning.
It happened one day when she was nearing eighty.
- Spin, spin! -
Finally, the compass of fate began to turn.
The Iri Corps handled the selection and capture of young cult leader candidates. Since a newborn candidate was not yet a target, they did not intervene. They only moved once the candidate had grown sufficiently.
Thus Sa Jo-yeong slipped out of the cult in secret and infiltrated the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult's main base at the Ten Thousand Great Mountains alone. Spies of the Sex Demon Cult who had operated in the mountains for centuries assisted her. Because she did not need to penetrate the deepest areas, the infiltration proved simple.
The location the compass led her to was a shabby thatched hut on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. Inside lived a young former Heavenly Demon Divine Cult warrior struggling to raise a newborn alone, along with the slightly frail infant.
Recruiting the mother was not difficult. The retired female warrior reversed her retirement, gained various opportunities and the attention of high-ranking elders, and rose rapidly within the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult. Since the cult revered pure martial arts, no one questioned her swift promotion.
The child's mother, intoxicated by her sudden wealth and status, began neglecting the infant. That, too, had been the Holy Maiden's intention.
Someday, when the child grew up and left the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult following fate, when she came to crave women and maternal affection, the Sex Demon Cult would gain its pillar and she would serve the master heaven had appointed.
After meeting the child and completing the necessary arrangements, the Holy Maiden returned to the Holy Maiden Hall and intensified her long-neglected training. Now that she knew her master had descended to earth, it was time to prepare to protect him.
She began closed-door training that differed little from her usual quiet routine. Perhaps because of the change in her mind, she reached Hyeon-gyeong—the realm spoken of only in legends—in less than twenty years.
Reaching Hyeon-gyeong brought a true bone transformation far beyond the mere taste she had experienced at Hwagyeong. Joy stormed through her mind while the accompanying pain felt insignificant by comparison. For a time that might have been an hour, a day, a month, or a year, she forgot even food and drink, lost in contemplation.
- Flash! -
When she finally opened her eyes and observed her surroundings, the husks covering her entire body began to peel away and collapse like a chrysalis. Each cell had been reconstructed according to the dignity of her soul, shedding unnecessary layers.
"…"
Her reflection in the bronze mirror looked exactly as it had when she was twenty. However, the symbols of womanhood—her breasts and hips—had become very small. For a martial artist they were merely burdensome weight.
From this moment on, her true realm was the highest secret both inside and outside the cult. Moreover, the one she must protect with the martial arts that had reached her heaven was the young cult leader candidate appointed by heaven, not the Sex Demon Cult itself. No matter how far the cult's power had declined, it still housed one or two masters of the Extreme Demonic Realm. To evade their eyes she needed something better than the crude transformation techniques used by swindlers.
While searching through martial arts texts she discovered a secret manual annotated as having been acquired from a now-extinct Sapa sect.
<Dun-Gap Cheon-Seo Cheon-Dun>
<Dun-Gap Cheon-Seo Ji-Dun>
<Dun-Gap Cheon-Seo In-Dun>
The three volumes of Dun-Gap Cheon-Seo, renowned as one of the greatest books under heaven. Among them were Cheon-Dun, containing light-foot techniques such as soaring through the void and shrinking the earth, and Ji-Dun, concerning primordial martial arts capable of shaking heaven and earth. What caught her eye, however, was In-Dun.
From Dun-Gap Cheon-Seo In-Dun she learned invisibility and transformation arts. The transformation technique, which could even alter the appearance of the soul, would prove especially useful.
- Whoosh! -
She reverted to the appearance she had worn before the bone transformation—her early thirties—and continued living as the Holy Maiden in that form. Not stopping there, she claimed her original appearance was that of her "adopted daughter," recommended herself, and joined the cult as an ordinary member.
Thus she began life in the enlistment unit, receiving basic education. Growing tired of that as well, she soon transferred to the Chastity Unit, where she could remain close to the young cult leader. This had been possible only because her confidant, Han Go-sam, the unit leader, assisted her.
Then, one deep night—
"The capture of the young cult leader candidate has been completed."
Han Go-sam's report, delivered while prostrate, filled the Holy Maiden with greater elation than even the moment she realized she had reached Hyeon-gyeong.
"Finally… I will see him."
A blush rose on the cheeks of the slender woman who had returned to her true form in her early twenties.
Following Han Go-sam, she naturally blended in among the Chastity Unit members in front of the room where the young cult leader candidate's first test was being held. Pushing through the expectant women, she took the front row and enhanced her vision to peer through the gap in the door.
Even merely stealing a glance at the jade-like face of the man who had grown well thanks to her sponsorship made her heart pound shamelessly.
"Haaah♡"
Clutching her racing heart, the Holy Maiden waited for Han Go-sam to open the door.
- Thump♡ Thump♡ Thump♡ -
Waiting for her fated lover, she paid no attention to whatever Han Go-sam was saying.
"…Survive."
Once Han Go-sam left, the young cult leader candidate's clothes were stripped away by the Chastity Unit girls' hands. His garments fell without resistance. When he erected his member, the fact that the girls were frightened or that Yeo-ryeong and Cho-ryeong were taken first did not matter. For a man of extraordinary stamina, sharing several women in turn was simply common sense in this world.
Praying instead that the master's grace would reach those pitiful Chastity Unit members who failed to recognize their true master due to momentary fear, she waited for him to point to her and embrace her.
"Who's next?"
After thoroughly tormenting Cho-ryeong with blood-red eyes, the master searched for the next woman to torment.
'Ah… now. Right now.'
The moment she sensed she no longer needed to wait, she gave the man an eye-smile.
"Very well. I'll take you."
"Yes~♡"
The man slowly approached the Holy Maiden. Instead of a greeting, he grabbed her buttocks first and tangled their tongues together.
- Sluuurp……
Just as she wondered whether his bold greeting was manly or simply ignorant, the master who had been kissing her so vigorously suddenly pulled away and abruptly reached out to seize her hair.
