"Young Lady Yeon, I'm sorry. I was called too."
Sagong Hee pulled on her human-skin mask and face wrap and strode out confidently. Unlike the Little Princess, who absolutely could not be seen outside, Sagong Hee had far more freedom to move.
That said—doing it outdoors?! Dokgo Yeon's head throbbed, but she had no choice except to accept the cold, hard reality.
What were they doing out there right now? Dokgo Yeon's mind flooded with pink-tinged fantasies.
"Little Princess, you've injured your leg."
"Ah, Doctor. This is nothing at all."
"I shall treat you."
Doctor Mubung knelt before the wounded Little Princess, lowered his mouth toward her injury, and extended his tongue—
Thud thud thud thud!!
Dokgo Yeon slammed her fist against the bed. With those three—Mubung, Taiji Flower, the Little Princess—her mind stampeded like a runaway warhorse.
"Doctor, it hurts here."
"Where? Oh dear, your chest has chafed against the wall. Wait here. I'll lick it better."
"Aahhn."
Thud thud thud thud!
"......."
Before she knew it, Dokgo Yeon had slipped her hand inside her own clothes.
She might not match Sagong Hee, but Dokgo Yeon possessed a chest with far more presence than the Little Princess's—a size she herself took ample pride in.
"......."
Her standards of judgment had grown murky. She was still too young to be called a full adult, and Doctor Mubung's depraved, licentious orgy with two peak-level masters was more than enough to shatter her common sense.
"D-Doctor! I'm scared someone might come!"
"That makes it even better."
"Hmph, is Taiji Flower feeling shy? In that case, I'll go first..."
"I-I'll go first!"
And outdoors, no less?
Psssshhhh——
Heat practically steamed from Dokgo Yeon's forehead. She could barely even remember how she had defeated Bang Yeong-hui, the Green Forest King's daughter and external martial arts expert, earlier.
"......."
Dokgo Yeon stretched her hand upward. To deliberately scrub away the flesh-toned revelry in her mind, she forced herself to recall the muscle-bound spectacle she had faced instead.
The Green Forest King's daughter, Bang Yeong-hui.
Standing eight cheok tall with an overwhelming physique, she had hurled near-lethal force at Dokgo Yeon. The peak expert from the Alliance serving as judge had been so alarmed he nearly intervened.
Was it because Bang Yeong-hui was overly aggressive? No.
Dokgo Yeon recalled the expression Bang Yeong-hui wore the moment Dokgo Yeon drew her sword.
"Raaaargh!!"
Terror. Despair. And the fighting spirit that desperately tried to suppress both with enough force to upend a mountain. She was unmistakably a first-rate martial artist, a practitioner of external arts strong enough to hold her own even against her older sister, Mountain Lord Phoenix.
The only problem was the opponent.
Had the tournament bracket favored her, had she been placed in a different group, she possessed the talent to follow her sister Mountain Lord Phoenix Bang Cheol-su all the way to the Six Phoenixes. On the sole condition that she never ran into Dokgo Yeon.
But in the very first match, she met Dokgo Yeon.
Not the frail invalid who coughed up blood every day and vomited crimson even mid-duel—no, she faced a Dokgo Yeon whose single weakness had vanished.
Dokgo Yeon slowly grew confident in her own skill. She took pride in displaying her family's secret sword art before an audience, techniques she had once only swung at phantoms every day.
"...I want to swing my sword more."
While she chewed the sugar candy the doctor had given her and brandished her blade, she felt her body moving perfectly according to her own will.
Especially the sword qi from that moment she clashed with the two Black-and-White First Flowers...
"Haa..."
She still couldn't forget the sensation she'd felt dueling Sagong Hee and the Little Princess. That feeling of freely wielding her sword, chasing them down—it still lingered in Dokgo Yeon's hands, pushing her forward.
A little more.
More experience.
More chances to move this body.
"...But I can't."
To wield this power freely, she needed to cure her illness.
Right now, she was only barely moving thanks to Doctor Mubung.
Her body was screaming that fact at her.
Without the sugar candy, without Mubung's energy, she would have collapsed the instant she drew her sword. You could oil a wooden puppet all you wanted—the moment the oil ran dry, the puppet would start creaking again.
"Doctor..."
Mubung's face surfaced once more. Dokgo Yeon covered her face with her hands and recalled what had happened in the spectator seats before she entered the arena.
"...Ah."
It was the first time a man had ever held her hand. Dokgo Yeon clutched her face, clawed at it, and rolled across the bed.
"No! Get a grip!"
Thunk! Dokgo Yeon rammed her forehead into the wall. Her body trembling on the bed, she clutched her forehead and sank into deep contemplation.
"......Doctor, what are you doing right now?"
Obviously, outdoors with two women beneath the moonlight, a cold-water frolic—
Thud thud thud thud!!
The flesh-toned and pink-tinged revelry she had barely purged from her mind came flooding back, and the girl's fantasies deepened like the heavy darkness of night.

"From today, Ice Demon will be the Flying Ice Demon."
Having brought Sagong Hee along but failed to achieve her objective, Lee Si-a ultimately decided to take in Ice Demon.
"The Ice Palace Mistress is formidable, and if you take in Ice Demon, the North Sea Ice Palace comes with her. A fine choice."
"Ugh, I've unintentionally gained another handmaiden... And a well-built one at that."
She should have been delighted to gain Ice Demon on top of Flame Demon, yet the Little Princess was lamenting.
Lust, Blade, Thief, Illusion, Flame, Ice.
Excluding two of the Earth Qilin Three Demons and two of the Wild Three Demons, all of the Ten Demons now supported her. But apparently, that still wasn't enough for Lee Si-a.
"It's not that it isn't enough! The problem is that women keep multiplying!"
"Is that not a good thing? While the two of you are unconscious, Flame Demon and Ice Demon can take turns handling me."
"Why do you say such trash with such a straight face?"
"Because I'm a lust demon!"
What could possibly be wrong with a lust demon doing lust demon things?
"Worry not. I have absolutely no intention of impregnating them. I am a man who impregnates only those who will become my lifelong partners."
"R-Really?"
"I will simply borrow another woman's body temporarily when the two of you are pregnant, so as not to harm the child."
"......."
The number of handmaidens around Lee Si-a might increase, but that didn't mean I intended to bed them at other times. It was merely to soothe my yang energy when Sagong Hee and Lee Si-a were unconscious like Ice Demon was now.
"Haa, fine. My stomach will feel better once I just accept it."
"I've already decided to accept all of it, fufufu."
"Sagong Hee... why are you so calm about this?"
"Even if a hundred flowers fill the garden, you still end up looking at the most captivating one most often."
"She speaks the truth, Hee."
Who raised this child to be so well-adjusted? I sincerely offered my gratitude to Taoist Mubung.
—If you're grateful, make sure you claim both Ice Demon and Dokgo Yeon as yours.
'Guh, thank you. Taoist Mubung.'
I decided to follow Mubung's sagacious counsel. Dokgo Yeon was probably starting to take the bait I'd cast by now, so this was the time to deal with Ice Demon, who lay unconscious at peak condition.
"Little Princess. Let's wake Ice Demon first. We can't leave her in this state forever."
I tidied Ice Demon's body until it was pristine. The cluttered storeroom was spotless, and Ice Demon looked as clean as if she had just bathed.
"Thank you, Hee."
"It's nothing. I used to do this often with Jin Sa-wol, who was like an older sister."
Back in the Hubei shack days, Sagong Hee and Jin Sa-wol had always cleaned each other up. So Sagong Hee had no hesitation about wiping down a woman drenched in my essence.
"Who is Jin Sa-wol again?"
"She exists. When Sagong Hee gives birth to a daughter, she'll be the wet nurse."
"You've already lined up a wet nurse? And you've done it with the wet nurse too? Unbelievable. And I'm with a man like this..."
Lee Si-a clenched and unclenched her fists, suppressing her fury. Watching her rage so openly was a little frightening, but then again, Sagong Hee's quiet anger was frightening too.
'If she finds out I've got a kid up in Hebei, she'll try to kill me, won't she?'
The moment she learned that, I would undoubtedly suffocate to death with my face crushed between one woman's chest and another's rear. I cleared my throat to change the subject, hoping the day would come when I could formally introduce her.
"Ahem. I shall wake Ice Demon now."
Fwoosh! The energy of the Zhongli Divine Fire Well began to fill my entire body once more. The instant I activated the divine art of Extreme Yang Energy, my manhood stiffened again, and I rested its tip lightly against the flower petal Sagong Hee had so neatly cleaned.
"You're going again? That's not fair!"
"She's right. My lord, the night is supposed to be our time."
"That's why I'm only putting it in for a moment. I'll wake her via Absorption of Yin to Nourish Yang, so please wait."
I was only inserting just the head, not about to thrust wildly again. It was simply that the union of organs was necessary to perform Absorption of Yin to Nourish Yang.
Ssssss.
A cold energy began to flow from the palace depths—now too warm with human heat to even call an ice palace anymore. The yin energy escaping from her dantian, which was itself a Ten-Thousand Year Ice Crystal, began spreading from her lower half through her entire body, guided by my manhood.
"Uh, uhn..."
As the absorption began, Ice Demon slowly opened her eyes. Her hands still bound, she barely managed to lift her tear-crusted eyelids and regain her senses.
"This place is..."
"You're awake?"
"......Hik."
Ice Demon screamed the moment she saw me. And the instant she realized she was impaled on me, she tried to pull her body back—but Sagong Hee was pressing down firmly from behind, leaving her unable to budge.
"Wild Three Demons, Ice Demon. So pleased to meet you like this."
"Pleased to meet..."
Ice Demon looked at Lee Si-a, then gestured toward her own body with a horrified expression.
"Th-This is the Young Heavenly Demon's method?!"
"Yes. A proven method of persuasion. The best way for the female demonic practitioners among the Ten Demons to swear loyalty to me. Making it crystal clear who their master is."
Lee Si-a smiled with deliberate cruelty, crouching beside Ice Demon. She sharpened her fingers and pressed a nail lightly against Ice Demon's stiff peak from the side.
"Hik!"
"If you obediently submit to me and reveal the Eldest Prince's scheme, I'll stop here. Ice Demon, what will it be?"
"I-I cannot speak of..."
Ice Demon was still gauging the situation. Just a few hours ago, while getting fucked by me, she had uttered the vulgar words "defeated by cock"—yet now she hesitated before the Little Princess.
"If you cannot speak, then we'll simply continue until you can. The Eldest Prince's scheme is clearly for you to hide your identity and participate in the Two Phoenixes Decisive Battle, isn't it?"
Lee Si-a picked up the booklet that had been tucked beneath Ice Demon's hips. The newly produced Flower Directory for the Two Phoenixes Decisive Battle lay open to the page marked with the name 'Yoo Seol-ra.'
"Yoo Seol-ra. What is Ice Demon's intent in trying to become one of the Two Phoenixes?"
"......."
"Exercising your right to remain silent? Very well, Sky-Soaring Lust Demon. Shove it all the way in."
Squelch. At Lee Si-a's command, I pushed my length in to the hilt. Ice Demon twisted her body and let out a moaning breath, but with Sagong Hee bracing her from behind as if supporting her, she couldn't move.
"Ah, ahhk!"
"You said you were a virgin, didn't you? How is it? The feeling of being fucked by my man. You have no point of comparison, so you might not know—but there is no man as incredible as this one."
"A cock that can rightly be called the greatest under heaven."
I winked at the three of them. Lee Si-a ignored me and slid her fingers down below Ice Demon's mound, tracing along her lower abdomen.
Press.
Lee Si-a's finger pressed down firmly from below. Somehow she knew exactly where—her fingertip was pressing right against the tip of my length.
"How?"
"It's not like I've only touched it once or twice. I know my man's size without even looking."
Twitch. Baby Sex Demon swelled with pride at Lee Si-a's words and lifted its head higher. Thanks to that, I sank in a little deeper than where she'd pressed, but what did it matter?
"So, Ice Demon. You have two choices. One: submit to me. Two: die here."
"Hik."
"If you die, the North Sea Ice Palace will no longer be a part of the Demonic Cult, won't it? The Heavenly Demon Divine Art that preserves the Ice Palace's status will be reclaimed as well. Choose. Watch the Ice Palace naturally perish from the Nine Thousand Steps after you die, or serve me here in the present world."
"Ugh, h-hng...!"
I knew Lee Si-a's true nature, so I knew she wouldn't actually kill her—but the way she hardened her expression and threatened death sounded utterly sincere. Even Sagong Hee was glancing at me and rolling her eyes nervously.
"Time won't wait for you."
Prrrress. Lee Si-a pressed her finger down, moving toward Ice Demon's groin. I withdrew my length in rhythm with her finger's movement.
"If you become my subordinate, depending on your future contributions, I'll let you taste my man again."
"......!!"
Whip and carrot.
The carrot Lee Si-a dangled carried an addictiveness akin to opium. What woman in the world wouldn't snap it up after experiencing the pleasure Baby Sex Demon could give?
Sluuurp. I slowly withdrew my shaft in time with Lee Si-a's finger. Even when I had pulled nearly halfway out, Ice Demon still hesitated, only her lips opening and closing dumbly.
"......."
If she slowed her finger's pace now, her true intentions would show. Having spoken the words, Lee Si-a as the Young Heavenly Demon had to kill Ice Demon if she refused to make a decision. The Young Heavenly Demon's authority demanded it.
Say you will follow her.
Just before Lee Si-a's finger reached her clitoris, I urgently breathed yin energy into Ice Demon. Not just any energy—the energy of the Ice White Divine Art.
"!!"
If you worry about your inner energy being stolen, do not be concerned. I will replenish it in equal measure. If you worry about the Eldest Prince, do not be concerned. I will kill him. The Little Princess will become the Heavenly Demon, and the North Sea Ice Palace will be safe.
"...W-Wait."
Gulp. At Ice Demon's words, Lee Si-a's finger stopped.
"C-Can the Little Princess truly defeat the Eldest Prince...? That man?"
"Obviously. The only thing that bastard has over me is the number of rice bowls he's shoved down his throat."
Lee Si-a radiated unwavering confidence. The reason Ice Demon of the Wild Three Demons, the North Sea Ice Palace Mistress, had remained a Wild One supporting neither side was to protect the faction called the North Sea Ice Palace. Only she, as the North Sea Ice Palace Mistress, who had mastered the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, could withstand the threat facing the Ice Palace.
I swear it. One day, I will travel all the way to the Northern Sea and kill Baekseup Gwang-a for you.
"!!"
Ice Demon shut her eyes tight. And then...
Squelch.
With the head almost slipped out entirely, she clamped down tight from below and seized my shaft.
"P-Please don't pull out... I-I will follow the Young Heavenly Demon... h-hic."
"Ha, haa..."
Lee Si-a let out a relieved breath, her finger resting against Ice Demon's clitoris, and stroked her hair.
"Congratulations on becoming mine, Ice Demon."
"H-Hic..."
'Flying Female Ice Demon.'
Ice Demon became Lee Si-a's handmaiden.
