We fucked until even I was thoroughly sick of it. In the middle of the relentless pounding, a small change came over them. Perhaps because their bodies had truly heated up, the two now caressed each other deeply without hesitation. Maybe it was only natural because I had only one cock, but near the end, watching them kiss, rub their breasts together, and even grind their pussies against each other just like the women of Yeongsan Sect felt strangely fascinating.
"Haa... Now I finally understand a little why Young Master Baek tried to keep such an unremarkable Gyeong Su-yeon by his side. This woman has a natural, peculiar talent for serving someone, doesn't she?"
Gyeong Su-yeon's tongue wasn't particularly skilled, but it had that subtle flavor of being served with utmost devotion. Despite her own noble birth, Murong Rin eventually gave her heart to Gyeong Su-yeon's tongue-work before she knew it.
"What are you talking about? Who's serving who? It's just that your body looked as luscious as ripe fruit."
The two of them were now completely one body, bickering back and forth. Truly, there was nothing like sex for improving a relationship. Since they were fundamentally martial artists, their stamina recovered quickly, but physical limits inevitably caught up. In the final stage, they pressed their faces together, tangled their tongues as though bookending the session, and gave me a double blowjob over my cock. Once the final ejaculation was over, we headed to the bath.
"The water's gone completely cold. Even with two women this time, I didn't expect us to copulate for more than four hours. I'll have a servant reheat the water."
"Huh? You, like that?"
Gyeong Su-yeon was startled as Murong Rin tried to summon a servant while stark naked.
"What's the problem? They're just servants?"
Servants weren't human. So there was no need to be embarrassed. For the same reason one wouldn't feel the slightest shame if a spider or bug in the bath saw one's naked body. Murong Rin, with that mindset, instead looked at Gyeong Su-yeon with strange eyes. It might have been the natural mindset of the privileged, but I too found the intrusion of a servant into this situation unpleasant, so I gave them a service demonstration of my specialty.
I plunged one hand into the cold wooden tub and drew up my Blazing Fire Qi, and moments later, steam rose in soft wisps.
"You said you mastered an extreme yang art—it looks very convenient, doesn't it? To master a legendary martial art and use it merely to boil water. Aren't you, Young Master Baek, of a servant's disposition surpassing even Gyeong Su-yeon?"
Murong Rin showed a completely different reaction from what I'd expected. Thinking back, the Drunken Beggar had also looked at the Blazing Fire Qi I'd used to grill meat with strange eyes. From my perspective, it had been far funnier how they treated martial arts as sacred. Anyway, just like before, Gyeong Su-yeon helped Murong Rin bathe, then dressed again and even helped with Murong Rin's makeup. Seriously. She was a daughter of a good house, so how was she so much like a maid? Though in reality, hadn't she actually been a working maid until just a few days ago?
When we came out of the bedroom and into the manor's garden, little Cho-ryeong and the large Nun Suyeon were busily engaged in something. No, that wasn't playing—it was Mount Tai Strike training. Cho-ryeong was delighting in her senior position as she taught Nun Suyeon the key points of the Mount Tai Strike. Nun Suyeon was also happily receiving the teaching of the young, small Cho-ryeong with earnest sincerity. Indeed, as befitting a descendant of Geo Am, Nun Suyeon seemed to possess remarkably excellent potential: splendid bone and muscle, concentration, and even passion.
"Unni!"
Nun Suyeon beamed brightly at us from afar.
"Novice Nun, I told you it's Junior Sister now, not unni."
"Ah. Right. Head Disciple Junior Sister! This child is truly amazing. She is so young, yet she has already achieved the Fifth Stage of the Mount Tai Strike."
She scooped Cho-ryeong into her arms and lifted her up to show Gyeong Su-yeon. Dangling in the air, Cho-ryeong smiled brightly and enjoyed it.
"She's Yeongsan Sect's fourth disciple, Cho-ryeong. Just as you heard, she is an incredible kid. My martial arts are stronger than hers, but I would never want to face her, not for anything. She's the vicious little monster who completely shattered Jo Bok's leg."
Murong Rin had now become Yeongsan Sect's commentator and kindly explained. But Gyeong Su-yeon didn't know how great a master Jo Bok was. Gyeong Su-yeon just glossed over it lightly, thinking he must be impressive.
"That's fortunate. Make sure to learn the key points of the Mount Tai Strike thoroughly while you have the chance. Since Nun Suyeon will now be Mount Tai's new hope."
Gyeong Su-yeon encouraged her warmly. She knew that she was already too old, lacked innate talent, and was unsuited to learning an advanced martial art like Mount Tai Strike. At that moment, Lee Eun-ha came out into the garden and popped a white medicinal pill into Cho-ryeong's mouth.
"Ah! This is the Son Yeong Pill, right? Hehehe. It's really sweet."
Her internal injuries were fully healed, but because she was so young, she had been taking internal injury pills like that for days now to prevent any possible aftereffects. Cho-ryeong, having taken so many by now, accurately recognized it as a Son Yeong Pill made from Son Yeong's breast milk. Chewing the pill softly, Cho-ryeong asked Lee Eun-ha,
"But Senior Sister. Why is there a Spirit Jade Pill, a Jeong-hyang Pill, and a Son Yeong Pill, but no Eun-ha Pill, Cho-ryeong Pill, or Yeongmok Pill?"
"That's for me, the Medicine Immortal Hall Master, to decide. Were you playing nicely with Nun Suyeon?"
"Yes! Nun Suyeon is really amazing. They say she hasn't practiced internal cultivation for long, but her strength is really great."
True, it wouldn't make sense for someone with that frame to be weak. Praised, Nun Suyeon scratched her head and spoke.
"It's the martial art of my honored ancestor, so I have to learn it diligently. If I practice hard, I might be able to reach the Third Stage."
She also had excellent bone and muscle, but was a bit too old to begin internal energy cultivation. So she seemed to have already set her limit early at the Third Stage of the Mount Tai Strike. Lee Eun-ha smiled and handed her a small pill.
"Huh? What's this? I'm not hurt anywhere?"
"It's a spirit pill. Don't take it here; you must take it in front of your Sect Leader and Elder."
As Nun Suyeon, who didn't know the pill's value, tilted her head curiously and tucked it into her robes, Lee Eun-ha approached us.
"A...a spirit pill?"
Gyeong Su-yeon, having overheard the conversation from a distance, was startled and asked Lee Eun-ha. Lee Eun-ha nodded and spoke lightly.
"It was hastily made, so it's nothing extraordinary. It will only yield about five years' worth of attainment. Once our journey ends and we return to Yeongsan, I will send other pills. If you take all of them following the precise method, you should be able to achieve roughly half a gapja of internal energy."
At Lee Eun-ha's light explanation, this time Murong Rin stared in silent horror. Gyeong Su-yeon was just as shocked. Her hands even trembling, she spoke to Lee Eun-ha.
"H...half a gapja? Why such an eternal treasure for our novice nun?"
"Layman Geo Am was also a great benefactor to Yeongsan Sect. I have one for Miss Gyeong as well. Here, take it."
As the dumbfounded Gyeong Su-yeon accepted the spirit pill, Murong Rin shrieked, "Hey!"
"Wait a moment, Medicine Immortal! Half a gapja? That's something hard to obtain even by selling ten manors like this! Just returning the secret manual would be gratitude enough; to give two of such spirit pills—isn't this far too excessive?"
I had almost never seen Murong Rin this flustered. Lee Eun-ha, who had probably expected this reaction, answered with a light smile.
"I told you. Layman Geo Am was from the Mount Tai Sect, but now he is also a revered predecessor who showed great kindness to Yeongsan Sect. How could I be stingy with medicine for his descendants?"
"Repaying kindness to the descendants of a dead man is something I can't understand, but you're from a Daoist background so I'll let it pass. But even if that nun makes sense, why did you give that precious spirit pill even to Gyeong Su-yeon?"
Though their relationship had improved, Murong Rin and Gyeong Su-yeon had been feeling subtly competitive since earlier. Perhaps experiencing being placed second for the first time in her life, Murong Rin couldn't hide her emotions. Lee Eun-ha's face showed a hint of trouble. It was clearly a fabricated expression.
"Shall we move elsewhere for a moment?"
When it came to preparedness, Murong Rin was unquestionably the best, but Lee Eun-ha was no less thorough. The room she led us to already had light refreshments prepared and fragrant, warm tea arranged neatly on the table.
"Since Miss Murong has shown much goodwill to Yeongsan Sect all this time, I thought it understandable you might misunderstand my giving something only to Miss Gyeong. But the goodwill shown to Yeongsan Sect, Yeongsan Sect will repay. The elixir given to Miss Gyeong was given to her not as the Head Disciple of Mount Tai, but as a friend of our Junior Brother."
Lee Eun-ha began calmly. Naturally, Murong Rin's expression grew fierce at her words.
"Is the Medicine Immortal saying that I am not Young Master Baek's friend?"
"Ah... I'm sorry. I made you misunderstand again. It's such a sensitive topic, and while trying to beat around the bush..."
"I really hate beating around the bush."
Murong Rin fully understood that Lee Eun-ha had brought her here because she wanted to say something. Normally, circling the subject and provoking her temper like this would have brought terrible consequences, but Lee Eun-ha was not Murong Rin's subordinate. Lee Eun-ha was calmly provoking Murong Rin's temper to obtain something. What was she trying to do?
"Then I'll speak frankly. I am someone who will one day become Junior Brother's wife. Embarrassing as it is, as his wife, I thought I must repay Miss Gyeong someday."
"Repay? What repayment?"
Murong Rin spoke with a crooked face. Her pouting face looked cuter than expected.
"Hmm... Is it all right to say this? It's actually a big secret, but I have no choice but to bring it up to clear Miss Murong's misunderstanding. Relieving a man's sexual desire is the duty of the wife. Since Miss Gyeong did that while Junior Brother was staying at Baek Clan Estate, how could I, as the one to become his wife, not repay her?"
Lee Eun-ha spoke gently. Gyeong Su-yeon glared at me as if asking if I'd confessed even that much to my fiancée. And Murong Rin fired back instantly.
"So, originally, the Medicine Immortal should have been sucking Young Master Baek's penis, but since Gyeong Su-yeon did it for him back then, you're giving her that spirit pill as repayment? Then you should give one to me as well? Earlier, when the Medicine Immortal was kidnapped by Heuk Cheon-gyeon, didn't I suck Young Master Baek's cock in the clan estate as if I'd melt it off? Furthermore, just now, didn't I take Young Master Baek's penis until my throat and lower hole were rubbed raw, so you should give one to me too?"
The explosive revelations of a pissed-off Murong Rin. She seemed to be trying to shock Lee Eun-ha with a weighty strike, but she had been secretly listening to our orgy since earlier. Probably even masturbating to it. Since Lee Eun-ha surpassed Murong Rin in internal energy, she must have listened at length from a distance Murong Rin wouldn't notice.
"Oh my? Is that so? I'm so sorry, what shall I do? Then it's only proper I repay Miss Murong as well. But Miss Murong has already taken countless elixirs, hasn't she? Even if you took all my spirit pills, you'd only see about five years' attainment."
Lee Eun-ha's absurd reply came after Murong Rin's carefully aimed blow.
"What do you mean? I've already taken elixirs to the limit. Even if it were Shaolin's Great Rejuvenation Pill, further effect is impossible, so give me one too. I'll use it as a trade material."
Murong Rin's words were common sense in the Martial World. But the Medicine Immortal's pharmacology easily surpassed the Martial World's common sense.
"How can that be? The Seungdeok Manor Lord who took my pill also sent word that he had five years' attainment?"
"The Seungdeok Manor Lord? Don't tell me you mean Great Hero Peng Seok, one of the Top Hundred Masters? That's impossible!"
Five years' worth of internal energy. Of course, it was attainment gained from five years of training in third-rate martial arts, so for someone who practiced first-rate martial arts, it would be filled with about a year's effort. But even if it was just one year, who under heaven could refuse the chance to grow stronger without effort? In terms of a past life, it was like getting a year's salary from a giant corporation executive for free.
"The efficacy is clear. I just have one request."
Murong Rin replied to the kindly spoken Lee Eun-ha with a face that said she was annoyed.
"I hate beating around the bush. Did you talk in circles earlier just to bring up this business?"
"I'm sorry. It was important to me. I am from Joseon, and I do not have a single family member anywhere in the Central Plains. But during this journey through the Martial World, I became sworn sisters with someone. She is my only unni and Junior Brother's old friend. Yet his other two friends are so outstanding in both background and beauty that I feared our unni might someday be forgotten by him. Since you two already seem to have grown close, as they say, a friend of a friend is a friend. Next time, please don't leave out our unni, Do-hwa unni, and get along well together."
Even I, who could guess the real story, understood Murong Rin's irritation. In the end, Lee Eun-ha had used the spirit pills as bait just to say this. What? She feared her only unni would be left out? She should at least have wet her lips before spouting that bullshit.
