-Damn it! I have been stuck…

As I blocked all of the swords and their voices, my mind felt silent and quiet. Nothing important would ever get done if any more of them were around.

I closed the sheath and looked at Sima Young. The sight of her blushed skin, and light breathing made my heart beat hard.

Sima Young opened her cherry lips.

“All done now?”

I shook my hands and set up my qi to prevent any sound from exiting the room.

Using my skills for this purpose?

“… yes.”

As soon as I said this, Sima Young walked towards me. We were just one step away from each other.

Slowly the sound of her breathing became louder.

“Haaa.”

The sound of her breath around my ears quickened my heartbeat to the point of my face heating up.

The two of us looked into each other’s eyes, and her eyes were all I could see.

“Young lord….”

She called out to me with her hand on my cheek. At that moment, I was unsure who moved first, but we embraced each other as our lips met.

As we kissed, her tongue naturally danced with mine as we filled each other’s mouths.

As if we had longed for each other, we kissed for a long time before parting our lips with ragged breaths.

“Haa… Haa… young lord.”

“Young…”

“That felt strange. There was nothing like this in the book.”

Just what book have you been reading?

Sima Young looked at me with a blushing face as if she was flustered. She never looked more beautiful.

“Young lord, just wait a moment… ah!”

Sima Young glanced down and looked up with a red face and an unsure expression.

In a low voice, she mumbled softly.

“Beast….”

That was the moment that I lost control.

As if I was truly a beast, I roughly pushed her against the wall and kissed her, desperately trying to undress her.

“Ahhh.”

A strange sound escaped her lips with her hot breath as she wrapped her legs naturally around my waist.

Even if her book didn’t teach her, her instincts as a woman guided her on what to do. I forcefully tore the men’s clothes that she was wearing.

Tear!

I violently let my breath out like a water buffalo as her beautiful hidden things were finally revealed.

I guess I wasn’t the only one feeling strange.

She was also breathing roughly as if she wanted to tear off my own clothing…

Bang!

But the door to my room suddenly opened violently.

“What were you even doing while Woo-hyun was knocking?!”

Song Jwa-baek stood at the entrance of the room.

In an instant, everything became still.

His eyes, faithful to being human, drifted elsewhere naturally. Embarrassed by this, Sima Young covered herself and screamed.

“KYAAK!”

Confused, the man walked out immediately and closed the door as his voice leaked in.

“F-fuck….”

Why was he swearing?

I should be the one cursing, not you!

He interrupted us!

As I looked at Sima Young, I could feel myself blush as I sighed and told her.

“If Woo-hyun is back, it means that they’ve arrived.”

I sent Woo-hyun to the meeting point I had agreed on with Yang Jong.

He was to tell me when the other party showed up.

“Come out quick. You need to be there.”

Song Jwa-baek said this from outside my door. It was as expected.

Even if leaving it here was unfortunate, there was nothing I could do because this was something I needed to do.

Ah…

I sighed for some reason.

I placed Sima Young down and tried to adjust her clothing when she suddenly held onto my wrist.

I looked at her in surprise, but her expression was strange as she began to speak oddly.

“… isn’t it a pity to let it end like this?”

“I need to head…”

“You can get there by flying in no time.”

With that, she pressed her body against mine and whispered.

“Right?”

My breathing roughened again at those words.

… If I let her go now, I could not be called a man.

As if forgetting that Song Jwa-baek was waiting outside, I lifted her up and headed to the bed.

The room was filled with heat.

“Young lord! Hehe.”

Sima Young crossed her arms with a satisfied look.

She was quite accustomed to dressing up as a man, but the charm of the woman under those clothes was bewitching.

My cheeks began to burn whenever I recalled the moments before.

-Was it good? It was good, right? You shouldn’t have put me in the sheath!

I could hear Short Sword grumbling. All of them were voicing their complaints when I took them out of the sheath.

-I am happy. This is a different feeling I didn’t experience with my former owner.

What was this guy even talking about?

What would your former owner think if he heard this?

-Huh. What of it? Just listening to the sounds, we know you are quite satisfied, which makes us happy.

‘…?!’

Ah… my head began to ache.

I should have guessed that they would have started to listen after some time. They were all making such odd sounds.

This was embarrassing.

The Blood Demon Sword then said.

-… human. In the future, when something like this happens, do not put me in the sheath. What other chance do you think I will have to see humans all tangled together?

What now?

He was the one making the most fuss about this. All of them were just sword-shaped perverts.

In the future, when something like this happens, I will have to keep them much farther away.

When we opened the door and went outside, I spotted Song Jwa-baek standing in the second-floor corridor with his arms crossed.

He looked at me with a disapproving look.

“Ahem. What about Woo-hyun?”

He then took a deep breath and spoke after calming down his anger.

“Both of you are strange! Strange! Did it have to be now?! Doing that…”

Sima Young came from behind me and looked at him as he was about to continue.

Her eyes were quite savage.

“Is there a problem?”

Intimidated by her strange severity, Song Jwa-baek gulped and said.

“That… that… there is someone waiting… think of that… and act…”

“I did think.”

“Uh?”

Sima Young touched her cheeks and spoke shyly.

“… we came out quickly.”

Seeing her act like this, Song Jwa-baek looked at me with a complicated mix of envy, jealousy, and frustration.

Short Sword clicked her tongue and said,

-Just introduce someone to him.

I really should.

I wore the demon mask and flew across the air to reach the meeting spot.

Just as Sima Young said, we arrived quickly.

As I concentrated my innate qi on my eyes, I spotted a carriage as well as dozens of figures around it in the distance.

I needed to go down and walk before they noticed me. There was no need for me to show my other identity to them.

Tak!

I descended to the ground, used my footwork, and headed to the carriage.

The place was dark as not a single torch was lit, but the moon’s soft light gave enough visibility. Around the carriage were twelve guards wearing veils. In front of them stood Yang Jong, a subordinate to the Revolting Mother.

-Is that woman in the carriage?

To be honest, I didn’t know.

I could feel a strange energy from within the carriage, but I wasn’t sure what kind it was or if people were riding inside.

The energy was blocking the qi.

-Be careful. They say that there are no normal people among the Evils.

Right.

Jang Mun-ryang also warned me.

[Even the lord warned us to not touch that woman. If such a monster warned us, then this wouldn’t be a fake threat.]

The Revolting Mother Cheol Su-ryun.

She was one of the Five Evils, considered among the strongest among the strongest humans.

She would be a dangerous and difficult opponent for me to fight. I didn’t bring anyone with me since I would have to run if things went south.

Firstly, I need to meet her, and only then would I know if she came here directly or not. I straightened my shoulders and walked forward with my hands behind my back.

Shhh!

As I got closer, Yang Jong greeted me with a bow.

“You have arrived?”

I nodded lightly to his greeting. During our first meeting, he wore a Murim Alliance uniform. However, with his untied hair and black robes now, he looked like a person of the Evil Faction.

I pointed to him and said,

“Did that person come?”

He simply nodded in response.

This meant that she was really inside that carriage. The fact that she had come all the way here meant that there was a high chance of this alliance happening.

I slightly bowed to the carriage and said,

“I am Sect Leader of the Blood Sect, greeting the honored Senior Cheol, whose name is renowned throughout.”

That was enough formality.

There was no need to lower myself more since we were both leaders.

But she didn’t respond even after I said that.

‘What is this?’

I wondered if there was something like an assassin inside the carriage. I could somewhat feel that she wasn’t the only one inside.

It was hard to detect qi from inside.

Flinch!

What was that?

In an instant, I felt goosebumps rise all over my body.

An energy of anger filled the area. Such a strange thing, but this energy and feeling of anger and resentment were sucked into the carriage.

‘… what is this…’

It was then.

A voice echoed from the carriage.

[So you are the Blood Demon of this day.]

A woman’s voice, sounding slightly hoarse, came from the carriage.

It sounded quiet for a woman who should be old. She would surely be over 100 years old?

Whatever the reason, it was unmistakable that she was the Revolting Mother. The aura of intimidation alone from that carriage was enough.

I could not be pushed back now.

“Yes. I would like to meet and have a conversation with you. Please show yourself.”

I said this directly, and I heard something from inside the carriage.

[Kakaka.]

A bizarre laugh.

That laugh would suit an old woman, but it was still odd. The laughter then stopped as the voice spoke.

[Look at this child pretending to be bold.]

“Child?”

Was this old woman really here to make an alliance?

Although she was an Evil who had lived the longest, she was acting more arrogant than I expected. Did this mean that she didn’t even care about the Blood Sect?

Let’s not get too over-agitated. If I got caught up in her flow, I would only play into her palms.

“If it is hard to show your face, then I can understand.”

Hearing this, the laughter filled the air again.

[Kakakakaka!]

That was a laugh I’d never get used to. It sounded like something was being ground down.

[You have a lot of guts. Well, to that point, you can surely speak of things like an alliance.]

At least she wasn’t laughing because she was in a bad mood.

I had to be careful because I wasn’t sure which side she would lean to. She was definitely different from normal people.

I had no reason to think I was stepping out of line, so I simply went straight to the point.

“See, there is nothing wrong with making an alliance. Senior is also interested, so the fact that you came to see us in person means….”

[Present me with five virgins every month. Then, I will think about an alliance.]

‘…!?’

What did she just say?

Five virgins every month?

I realized how absurd this was.

I knew she was behind the Evil-Faced Man incident, but asking a group seeking to enter into an alliance for virgins was as if she was mocking us.

“You want… virgins?”

[Right. The younger and more beautiful, the better. It would be better if they were warriors.]

At least she wasn’t called Evil for no reason.

It would be no exaggeration to say that even the Wicked Moon Sword couldn’t be compared to her.

I couldn’t just say anything, though, so I asked her.

-Will she even listen, though?

Then should I listen to her?

No matter how much I had to play my role as the Blood Demon, there was a duty and moral compass I had to adhere to as a human.

Would it even make sense to deliver women to her?

At that moment, I heard the laughter again from the carriage.

[Kakaka…. You are an interesting one. So far, I didn’t sense much response from you, but the moment I asked for some girls, the sound of your heart became louder..]

‘This old monster.’

[You must be excited. Is it anger?]

Was she hearing my heartbeat from inside the carriage?

It made no sense.

No matter how advanced her senses were, it was impossible to hear the heartbeat of others from that distance.

[I guess you have doubts. You think I cannot hear your heartbeat?]

‘…!?’

This woman was a lot more dangerous than I thought. She was acting as if she could clearly hear me from inside there.

I was shocked, but she then spoke again.

[Did you say you wanted to know the secret of that man?]

“….”

She seemed to be talking about the golden-eyed man.

She was emphasizing what I really wanted from this. Perhaps I took her too lightly.

But I had to adapt to this somehow.

“Your subordinate accidentally revealed that you knew about the weakness of the person that they are calling the lord.”

[You seem to be misunderstanding something.]

“Misunderstand?”

[Do you think the man complied with your request because he was afraid?]

What did she mean, then?

Was she saying that the golden-eyed lord didn’t care about her?

[I am just giving you this small chance because you saved my child.]

This was beyond arrogance.

This woman had a madness that could not be matched.

It was no exaggeration to say that any chance of an alliance was now gone. Even if we did join hands, they could not be trusted.

“Seems like seniors and I don’t agree on many things.”

As I said, I increased my qi. It would be better to get out right now.

At that moment, she said.

[You are trying to escape. However, it might have been your choice to come, but you do not have permission from me to go.]

Tring!

The sound of a bell came from inside the carriage, and a strange thing happened.

I felt my body turn heavy, like someone was pressing down on it.

Kukukuk!

Even my feet were digging into the ground little by little. I couldn’t believe it.

I had heard she was good at sorcery, but this was beyond my expectations.

Tring!

As the bell rang once more, the crushing became stronger, and my feet dug further in.

[Go and catch him.]

With the order made, the guards wearing the bamboo hats moved and groaned.

“Huuuuu.”

“Huuuuuu.”

They sounded similar to the monster I had seen at the guest house. They had a strange kind of qi, and this was to be expected.

Bang!

I immediately used the Illusion Eye technique, but it had no effect on these people. Only Yang Jong was affected.

-It isn’t working.

I can see that.

I don’t know what reason was behind it, but the men wearing bamboo hats were entirely unaffected. Come to think of it, the monster at the guest house was also unaffected.

[Do not waste your energy for no reason.]

Damn it!

‘Blood Demon Sword!’

At my call, Blood Demon sword moved in its sheath.

Srrng!

At the same time, it flew in the air toward the people approaching me. Unlike me, the sword could move freely as it was unaffected by the sorcery.

Quite fortunate.

If they were like that monster in the guest house, a simple pierce-through would not kill them.

‘Behead him!’

-I get it.

Blood Demon Sword moved to follow my order.

Chak!

Those who came close to it were all beheaded.

As a head rolled on the ground, the bamboo hat fell off and revealed another man’s face with eyes and mouth sewn up.

Just as I thought.

The bell rang once more.

Tring!

The rest of the bamboo hat monsters threw themselves at me.

Since Blood Demon Sword was moving quickly, it seemed that they wanted to do something before they were all finished off.

Did I look that careless?

Swish!

Steam rose from my body as I activated both the True Blood Diamond Body and the Blood Demon Will techniques.

The crushing weight that was on me suddenly felt lighter.

‘Short Sword!’

-Yes!

Short Sword flew from her sheath and also moved to the people wearing bamboo hats. In the meantime, I jumped, kicked one of them in the chest, and moved forward.

Puak!

As his bamboo hat bounced off, I swung my sword while twisting my body.

Chak!

A sharp feeling spread through four of the bamboo hat people.

They crossed their hands to block the sword qi from hitting their bodies and managed to get away with only their wrists being cut in half.

Chaaak!

At that moment, one man swung a large weapon directly at my head. I avoided it slightly by tilting my head. I grabbed him by the neck and slammed him to the ground.

Bang!

In that state, I applied force to my hands to tear his neck apart…

‘….!’

However, I could not believe my eyes at that moment. The bamboo hat had fallen, and a face had been revealed below me.

His eyes and mouth were sown together, but how could I forget that face?

“Ah… song?”

It was Ah Song, my missing servant.
