Drained Dry by the Beauties and Reunited with My Sworn Brother
The next day, I didn't wake up until the sun was about to set.
"Kuhak...!"
What the hell had I done wrong? I'd tried to act like a proper great hero, embracing both women with a big heart and sharing our feelings. But the moment I said it, the atmosphere flipped in an instant. What followed was too brutal to even describe. They turned ice-cold, without a shred of tenderness, and tormented me all night long. Like female androids programmed only for blank, businesslike expressions. Even when I begged them to stop, they didn't—like machines ignoring Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. Hell, even Isaac Asimov couldn't have predicted this dystopian hell of emotionless prostate milking! Anyway, thanks to that, my yang energy, which had been on the verge of exploding, was now completely drained. With those two squeezing me dry nonstop, it was only natural.
"Ooh...!"
How could they be so terrifying? That wasn't the Serin or Ha-young I knew! My body was still trembling! I'd turned into a mummy!
"Ah, you're awake, sir?"
I was shaking in fear when Serin walked in!
"Hiiik! Serin-ah!"
I flinched for a second, but she looked just like her usual self. She was dressed in lightweight training robes, the kind she wore for sparring. It was hard to imagine her as that seductive vixen from last night—she looked so prim and proper. Staring at her like that, I almost wondered if yesterday had all been a dream.
"Why are you so startled? More importantly, you lecher. That leering gaze of yours. Where are you looking?"
But if it had been a dream, then why did chills run down my spine at that cold expression?
"I'm not looking at anything..."
"Such an obvious lie. Well, from now on, just direct that gaze at me alone."
Serin sat down on the bed as she approached.
"So. Have you reflected on your actions at all?"
"Reflected...?"
"How dare you say you'd embrace another woman while having me. So arrogant. I was angry last night, so I tormented you a bit... but don't take it too much to heart. Just reflect, and we're good."
"Ah, aah. Right."
She said it so naturally, fiddling affectionately with my ear, but I couldn't tell if she was mad or not anymore. And reflection? So last night was punishment? Way too lewd a punishment...!
"Anyway, I'll educate you properly from now on, Geun-hyeop."
"What kind of education...!"
"Hehe, who knows. What kind it is depends on you, Geun-hyeop. Warm education? Or cold education? The choice is yours."
I'm too scared!
"Why are you trembling? Act more properly. I won't tolerate half-assed behavior from the man who took my virginity."
Properly! Hearing that snapped me back to reality.
"Right... yeah!"
Despite being tormented all night by those two, it hadn't really been suffering—more like something good. Sure, getting overpowered hurt my male pride a bit, but I couldn't dwell on that. As a man, I had to take responsibility.
"Serin-ah!"
"Yes."
I grabbed her hand tightly.
"F-From now on, I'll take responsibility for you! Just stay by my side!"
"Ah."
My confident words made her face flush red.
"U-um. I didn't expect such spirited words. So arrogant."
"More arrogant than what you said yesterday?"
"...This won't do. You still haven't come to your senses."
What? Hold on. What did I even say?
"Geun-hyeop. Choose. Who is it? Me? Or Wi Ha-young?"
There was only one answer.
"Both!"
"You arrogant bastard!"
"No! That's not it! Since it happened with both of you last night, as a man, I have to take responsibility for both!"
"Still just running your mouth...! You lecher! I'll execute you!"
"Execute? What?!"
Flash!
In an instant, Serin pinned me down with her strength and acupressure-pointed me just like last night, immobilizing me. Then she threw off the blanket and roughly stripped off her own clothes!
No, wait! After all night yesterday, and now again?!
"Mmph, mmph!"
"Hah? What's this? You recovered this much yang energy already after sleeping? You arrogant lecher. This won't do. Before Wi Ha-young gets to you, I'll correct your behavior once more!"
"Uwaaaaaah!"
Save me!
"Kyahahahat! So you got done in by Namgung Serin again right after waking up?"
"Yeah...!"
"Well, what can you do? You brought it on yourself. What? You want both of them to do it? Do you really wanna die?"
"I was just expressing my great hero heart...!"
"Look at this great hero. You arrogant punk."
Unlike the furious Serin, Ha-young at least heard me out somewhat. Thank goodness. Serin was off sleeping in her room right now. Ha-young had slipped in during the gap to chat with me, but even as she spoke, I hadn't forgotten last night. The two of them had teamed up to wring me out mercilessly.
"..."
Anyway, now it was just me and Ha-young. She was properly dressed, but having tasted the goods underneath, I couldn't help but notice.
"Hm?"
Our eyes met for a second, and she grinned.
"By the way. How was it?"
"What?"
"Don't play dumb. How was last night? Which of us was better?"
Only one thing to say.
"To be specific, both were great."
"Hah?"
"No, really! And since it happened with both of you, as a man, I gotta take responsibility for both! That's what a great hero does!"
I gestured wildly, afraid she'd get mad, but her eyes stayed narrowed.
If I didn't fix this somehow...!
"Jeez. What am I gonna do with this idiot?"
"Say it's great hero-like."
"Shut up."
I clamped my mouth shut immediately.
"Whatever."
Ha-young slid over to me and caressed my face.
Looking closer, her expression wasn't bad. She looked amused.
"Not bad at all. Having a lover and all."
"Saying it like that makes me embarrassed..."
My lips curled up on their own. I'd snagged two of the Murim's Four Beauties: the Jade Flower Sword and the Plunder Fire Lotus. Serin seemed dissatisfied, but I wasn't. I'd convince her somehow. Ha-young too.
"Kukuku, acting all great hero-like and then getting shy? You're such an idiot."
"Say it's great hero-like."
"Shut your nonsense. Anyway, you."
"Hm?"
"You took my virginity because of you?"
"Th-that... um."
Heat rose to my face as I nodded slightly.
"Making such a mess of mine. How could you?"
"I wanted to..."
"Honest with your words, huh. Anyway. What I mean is, because I lost my virginity, I can't use one of my Taoist spells anymore? So you have to take responsibility for that from now on."
"What?"
Losing virginity disables a spell?
"There's a spell like that?"
"Martial arts have them too? Namgung Serin probably can't use one of her heart arts because of it."
"No way, something like that exists!"
Heart arts or spells that require virginity? Learning this made my responsibility feel even heavier.
"Alright. I'll take full responsibility. But how do I do that?"
"Bedchamber arts."
"What?"
"It's embarrassing to say this outright, but Taoists practice something called bedchamber arts?"
"What's that again?"
"..."
Her eyes narrowed.
"I never needed to learn it... but now that I've lost my virginity, I'll have to make up for it that way."
"So what exactly do I do?"
"Simple."
Whoosh.
Ha-young suddenly pulled me into a hug.
"H-Ha-young-ah?"
"You and I keep having sex, exchanging yin and yang energy to replenish our inner power. Got it?"
"What?!"
That's bedchamber arts? Oh! Right! That's what it meant!
"I'll need to check the manual for details, but I know it's basically just sex. Since we're on the topic, wanna start?"
"Wait, Ha-young-ah! I got drained all night, and just now Serin did me in too!"
"Can you shut up?"
Sizzle!
The moment she cast a spell, invisible chains bound my limbs. I couldn't move in an instant, and she pushed my chest down, mounting me right away.
"What is this! Untie me!"
"Nope."
"Wait! At least my hands!"
"Kukuku, what're you trying to touch? I won't let you. A sinner like you just watches and suffers."
So cruel!
"Alright, time to squeeze out some yang energy?"
I can't move!
"Kyahahahahat! A guy's pinned under me, throwing a tantrum? Just lie there quietly!"
Ha-young burst into laughter.
"Uwaaaaaah!"
I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Quiet down. It's all your fault anyway. What? You want both? What guy says that in front of a girl! You're dead!"
My yang energy!!!!
"So... you teamed up with the Plunder Fire Lotus, came back... joined with the Jade Flower Sword to exterminate yokai... and somehow ended up dating both?"
Jae Mi-son summarized as if confirming, after hearing my story.
"Damn, you get it right away. Smart guy. Yeah, exactly that. Flowers in both hands."
"Kick..."
"Heh heh heh."
"Cut the bullshit, you bastard!"
"Kuhuk!"
Jae Mi-son suddenly slammed the table, splashing booze in my face. Damn, even if you're mad, do you have to slam the table?
"Hey, man! I just told the truth!"
"Abandoning the Anhui Twin Heroes...! Unforgivable!"
I figured he'd blow up like this. Back in my hometown, there's a saying: bitik—even good news gets you beat if you brag. But as one of the Anhui Twin Heroes, I owed him an explanation for being away. So I explained. Even if it meant taking a hit.
"Ah, that's why I brought a gift!"
"Gift...?"
"Yeah, buddy. You think I'd come back empty-handed after ditching the Anhui Twin Heroes for a far-off trip?"
At that, Jae Mi-son stroked his I-sang Je-go.
"Show me..."
I unpacked the item I'd prepared.
"This is it."
A Ha-dong turtle shell, just big enough to cover an adult man's forearm. Long and oval-shaped—perfect for processing into armor.
"That's...?"
"Ha-dong's shell. See? Perfect size for a forearm."
"Indeed..."
Jae Mi-son took it, examined it from all angles, and held it up to his arm. As expected, it covered perfectly. And it didn't look bulky—ideal for wearing in battle.
"Take it to the blacksmiths for a bit of processing, and it'll make great armor. You use the I-sang Je-go, not a sword. Slap that Ha-dong shell on one arm, and it'll help in fights."
He went silent.
"..."
The quiet Jae Mi-son finally spoke.
"Anhui Twin Heroes... today, I want to sing of our brotherhood."
"What?"
"To the brothel... I'll pay today..."
Brothel?!
