Chapter Title: Relationships
-----------------------------------------------------------------
...Yeah, right. Come to think of it, it might actually be natural.
No one in the world is free from sexual desire... It's even said that women can develop stronger libidos than men as they age. After suppressing her seven emotions and six desires for all those long years, focusing solely on cultivation...
They say playing with fire late in life is frightening, but now that she's finally tasted a man, it's only inevitable she'd feel that way.
'I'll just chalk it up to that.'
I didn't want to admit that the oasis in my heart had been shattered.
Of my three wives right now, the Sword Empress had been the most demure and reassuring one—and I'd ruined that with my own two hands just moments ago.
'...'
I decided to just pretend I'd pushed her too far and she'd let slip something foolish, then turned my attention back to reality.
"Uh... so... you and Master... are in a relationship...?"
"S-So-yeon, it's like this..."
"But before that, there was this Dang Ayoung person... I-I don't get what..."
In the midst of it all, the Sword Empress's disciple looked utterly bewildered.
From her perspective, it must've been hard to wrap her head around me being in a relationship with both the Sword Empress and Dang Ayoung at the same time.
...At least the girl was clueless about sexual matters. That was a relief.
If she truly understood what her master had just said, she wouldn't have stopped at that reaction...
"B-But what's copulation? What do you mean by things touching and making contact...?"
"..."
Her words froze all three of us in place.
How the hell were we supposed to explain that?
And in that moment, the Sword Empress and I, remarkably, did the exact same thing.
-Shove
"Wh-What?! Why are you pushing me away?!"
"Wouldn't it be better for a third party to explain?"
"It's awkward for the people involved to do it."
"What's so awkward about it?! This is about you two!"
"Wouldn't it come across more friendly if the younger-looking one over there explained it?"
"You saying that?!"
"I'm a guy."
"Urgh..."
With the excuse that she'd seem more approachable, we dumped the explanation on Yeo So-cheon. The Sword Empress and I promptly averted our gazes.
Yeo So-cheon, realizing it was on her, let out a sigh, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth to explain to the girl.
"You insert the man's genitals into the woman's genit—"
"Hold on!!"
"Why?! What?! You told me to explain!"
"Even so, you gotta beat around the bush a little or soften it! How can you just blurt it out like that?!"
"These things need proper education from the start to avoid misunderstandings! Should I say it's like holding hands while sleeping? Or that storks bring babies?"
"N-No... th-that..."
She had a point...!
Avoiding misunderstandings was good...!
"Sex ed needs to be done step by step! Jumping straight to level 10 would shock the kid senseless!"
"Then don't bring it up in front of her at all! Did I say it?! You and the Sword Empress did!"
"..."
Yeah. We'd messed up.
Her counterattack left us speechless, even if we had ten mouths.
In the end, our recklessness had sparked the whole mess.
"L-Let's... save the details for when you're older. For now, just take it at this level, okay?"
"B-But my body's already adu—"
"Answer?"
"O-Okay!"
I lacked the confidence to give her a full sex ed lesson right then, so I had no choice but to stifle her curiosity.
'Sorry for being a bad adult.'
I hadn't expected that response either.
Who could've imagined the Sword Empress uttering something like wanting sex?
The Sword Empress, realizing her blunder, had turned beet red and was clutching her face in her hands.
...With things like this, what were we supposed to do about her disciple?
"...For now, let's pause the talk and pick it up later. The house got a bit wrecked from before, so you two might have to share a room."
"O-Oh... sure..."
"Not enough spare rooms?"
"My master came down recently, and we're living together now..."
There was only one empty room available right now.
If Master and I shared, then the Sword Empress and Yeo So-cheon could bunk together, but...
'...'
No way. Not happening.
Sorry, but they'd have to endure a little discomfort.
If Master joined in for real here, I truly couldn't handle it anymore.
'...Wait a sec.'
Come to think of it, I still had to explain the Sword Empress and Yeo So-cheon to Master.
I thought I'd bought some time, but it was coming this fast?
How was I supposed to convincingly explain to Master that I'd acquired three wives while she was out...?
-Bang!
"We're back! I got dumplings for you to eat!"
"There's quite a crowd inside."
...Oh.
As if mocking my worries, Dang Ayoung and Master strode in without hesitation, filling the living room to bursting with women.
"Oh, the Sword Empress and Thunder Sword are back too? I thought it'd be a while longer."
"Y-Yeah, something like that... B-But who's that...?"
"Uh... his master... She raised him since he was little, she says..."
"Ah..."
Truth be told, my Master didn't match the typical image people had of a master.
When you think "master," you picture some stern adult in their thirties or forties at least—not someone young and hot (?) like this.
Of course, I didn't know Master's real age either.
I just guessed she'd reversed her aging or something from how she talked. At any rate, she didn't look her true age.
"...Why's this woman here?"
"Oh, you know the Thunder Sword?"
"Not know her exactly... Ugh... This is way off from what I expected too..."
"H-Hello... I'm Shin Yu-wol... Known in the world, embarrassingly, as the Sword Empress... And with your disciple here..."
"..."
The room erupted into a jumble of conversations, growing chaotic and noisy—my mind going blank—until Master's single remark chilled the air instantly.
"What the hell are these bitches?"
"Pffft?!"
"...Pardon?"
"..."
"..."
Master had straight-up cursed at these women she'd never met.
"I smelled a lot of women on you and figured it was something like that, but this is way off my expectations. Thought you were just hopping between skirts, but you went and shouldered three? Did you blow off your master's warning about showing your face and getting in trouble?"
"M-Master... I get you're angry, b-but with people here, that language..."
"Shut your trap. If you ditched your master to wander the secular world alone, the least you could've done was avoid trouble. But no, you stirred up triple trouble. I pray there aren't more hiding here."
"Th-These three are all..."
"I said shut it."
"..."
Ah. She was pissed.
Of course she was.
Her disciple running off to the secular world on his own was bad enough—adding a household, and not one but three women?
If I were Master, I'd grab him and spank him black and blue. It was that infuriating.
...Maybe we were lucky she didn't have the leisure for that right now, though.
"I-I get you're mad, but calm down first... Let me introduce everyone, then we can talk leisurely..."
"No need."
"B-But... we'll be living under one roof from now on... If things sour right away..."
"Who said I'm living with these bitches?"
"P-Pardon...?"
"If the Blood Cult threatening to destroy the Central Plains is the issue, I'll just drag my disciple back to the mountains and hole up. With proper barriers, those demonic beasts can come a hundred or thousand times—no sweat. I can keep him safe at least until he ages out his lifespan naturally. You lot didn't see that ambush coming and exposed him to danger over some flimsy excuse."
"Th-That's..."
Master was utterly furious, tearing into Dang Ayoung and the Sword Empress without mercy.
Yeo So-cheon wasn't even thinking of arguing, just looking away.
"...It's natural for a master to worry about her disciple's future, and I agree. But your interference seems a bit excessive."
"Excessive?"
"Correcting a disciple on the wrong path is a master's duty... but you're completely ignoring his own opinions. A master should guide and protect until the disciple can forge his own path—but anything beyond that isn't good for him. From what you just said, it sounds like you'd bind him to your side forever."
"So you're saying I'm demanding too much just based on master-disciple ties."
"...You could see it that way."
A rare polite tone from the Sword Empress.
I didn't know who was older between her and Master, but in this context, Master felt almost mother-in-law-ish, so polite speech made sense. Surprisingly well-spoken, too.
'Nice one, Sword Empress! Keep pushing just a bit more...'
"Then this should settle it."
In that instant, Master beside me wrapped an arm around me, hoisting me up. Before I could react in shock, my view had completely shifted.
Master's face right in front of me.
-Smack
The sensation of lips pressing together, and soon a foreign tongue invading my mouth.
"????!!!!"
I was kissing Master right now.
Not a peck—a full kiss.
In broad daylight, fully conscious.
-Slurp, smack, slurp
"Mmph... Nngh..."
Of course, the moment I realized, I tried to pull away—but my body was long since pinned by Master.
One arm cradled under my shoulders, supporting me; the other gripped the back of my head, forcing me in place.
Even pleading with trembling eyes yielded only Master's resolute gaze, silently commanding me not to resist.
-Slurrrp
"Nngh... mmph..."
Her unusually long tongue dominated every corner of my mouth. No way to block it.
Push it out? It'd just ensnare mine in seconds, turning into a pleasure-bringing organ.
As the kiss dragged on, exponentially mounting pleasure fueled my struggles while sapping my strength.
Techniques no first-timer could have. She targeted my unknown sensitive spots relentlessly, pleasure surging geometrically. The taboo of kissing Master fused in, whitening my brain and vision.
My body, on instinct to not let go, had already placed hands on her.
Then, lightning flashed through my fading mind—a spark. My body thrashed wildly to escape.
-Slurrrp, slurp, smack
'N-No...! Nooo...!'
If squirming alone worked, I wouldn't have stayed trapped this long.
In the end, I surrendered to the crashing pleasure, closing my eyes.
-Gulp! Gulp!
"Grrgh...!!"
Master deliberately parted our lips just a sliver at my climax, letting my moan escape.
Apparently done, she released my tongue and pulled back. I remained clinging to her, staring at the ceiling in aftershocks.
Whether stunned that master and disciple would do this, or shocked I'd climaxed from just a kiss, the Sword Empress and Dang Ayoung gaped in horror.
"This kind of relationship should be fine, right?"
Master wiped her lips with her sleeve, utterly shameless—as if it'd been the most natural thing.
