77. Who Names Their Kid “Ping Tao”?

* * *

Baekhap Guild Dungeon Control Room

Noah of Flowers, master of the Baekhap Guild, stared blankly at the screen showing Yoo Eun-ha forcibly holding Rosemary’s head between her thighs for cunnilingus.

“Holy shit, to think Jin-seok’s little sister was like this…”

Eun-ha had even trapped Rosemary’s legs so she couldn’t escape while thrusting a dildo to immobilize her. This wasn’t the work of an amateur.

At first, Rosemary resisted, but Eun-ha forced pleasure upon her until she came like a fish out of water.

“That’s not the problem.”

Rosemary was America’s idol hunter, affiliated with the major Triton Guild. Her father was Alex, a prominent figure representing the U.S. in global hunter organizations.

In short, messing with her could cause diplomatic issues.

And yet Korea’s promising Hanseong cadet had assaulted her? Without hesitation, as if she had some leverage.

‘She’s the real deal.’

Crazy Psycho Lesbian-the perfect epithet for Yoo Eun-ha, who pounces on any girl she fancies without regard for consequences.

“To think that eunuch had a sister like this. Impressive.”

Rosemary seemed completely broken in. No diplomatic fallout then.

Moreover, Eun-ha knew exactly how to break people. Clearly, Rosemary was compromised-probably blackmailed with nude photos.

Blackmail. Rape.

Crazy Psycho Lesbian Yoo Eun-ha.

Noah imagined being pinned down by Eun-ha for slow, slimy lesbian sex while sliding a hand between her thighs.

“Ah, I’m so wet♥”

As the master of Baekhap Guild and one of the heroes of the Pyongyang Incident, calling Noah insane wouldn’t be an exaggeration-yet she wanted to surrender to Eun-ha.

To Noah, Yoo Eun-ha filled a void in her heart.

At the dungeon’s central rendezvous point, Reina, Han Suji, and Choi Si-woo were waiting.

They gave me strange looks upon seeing my face.

“Why’s your face all shiny?”

“Dunno?”

When I whistled and glanced at the trembling Eumseupmari beside me, Reina didn’t miss it.

She sniffed me aggressively.

“This smell… You did it again, didn’t you? No wonder you took so long despite your ridiculous strength.”

Ridiculous strength? That’s harsh.

“It happens. Why pick on sweet Eun-ha?”

“Hey, Suji. Aren’t you too biased toward Eun-ha lately? Look at this-her harem keeps growing! Even diplomatic risks!”

As Suji defended me and Reina argued, Si-a (pretending to be Si-woo) just smirked from the sidelines.

“Oh, she’s just a sex slave.”

“Excuse me?”

Bzzzt.

I pressed a remote, making Eumseupmari’s eyes glaze over before her legs clamped together.

“Hyaah!? Nngh!”

“See? She can’t even protest when I toy with her.”

After convulsing for a while, Eumseupmari collapsed when I turned off the vibrator.

“What did you do to her?”

“Threatened to leak her nudes. She has no choice but to obey.”

Reina glared at me with utter disdain.

“Wow, how did I end up tangled with someone like you? Would you have kidnapped me too if I hadn’t gotten the World Tree’s bow?”

“Probably would’ve imprisoned you until you became mine.”

“I hate that scenario, so stop giving me false hope.”

“Tch.”

“Listen, Eun-ha. You’re really-“

Mid-lecture, Shinohara Kotone approached with a sweet smile.

“You made it through, Eun-ha. Though it took you surprisingly long?”

Her tone wasn’t mocking-genuinely curious. She’d likely seen footage of my fights.

Why would someone so strong take so long?

I glanced at Rosemary.

“Ah, Rosemary and I had… business.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yoo Eun-ha!”

What now, Ping Tao?

“Fight me!”

She suddenly drew her spear and posed. This lunatic.

“Why?”

“She got beaten up earlier and is taking it out on you,” Kotone whispered.

Ah, so that’s it.

Basically, she’s emotionally stunted. Got humiliated and now vents at me.

“So you think I’m an easy target?”

“I am Ping Tao of China! If you’re a warrior, face me!”

Martial artist villains are the worst. If Park Joon-hyuk gender-swapped, he’d be just like her.

“Who names their kid ‘Ping Tao’?”

I know her name, but it’s hilarious every time.

“Pfft!”

Kotone covered her mouth, giggling cutely.

Hmm, Ping Tao. Originally, she was supposed to fight Si-woo.

Do I really need to deal with her? She’s more annoying than Bulbbadda.

Technically a heroine, but I have no plans to “use” her.

Too troublesome. Despite being dumb, she constantly interfered with Si-woo in the original.

Not sure why she’s picking fights, but Yuzuki probably provoked her.

Who does Ping Tao resemble?

Right. If Park Joon-hyuk became a woman and overdosed on Chinese nationalism, you’d get Ping Tao.

Her Constellation is Samyoari-the same bastard Suji crushed from Musin’s fragment. So why should I bother?

Maybe let Suji handle her?

“You want me to fight you?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t entertain weaklings.”

“What?”

Is she deaf or just senile?

“And I especially ignore rude bitches. Wouldn’t fuck you even if you came naked in a truckload.”

Honestly, Chinese girls don’t appeal to me.

It’d take extreme effort to turn me on, and her lame martial artist gimmick kills any potential.

Meanwhile, Kotone’s innocent face makes me want to paint it with pleasure.

Should I confess?

I’ve already taken Rosemary-why stop at Japan’s shadow ruler? I’d even rail President Ha Jung-seok if he became a cute girl.

“I’m rude?”

Objectively, challenging someone during a dungeon exercise is absurd.

“We’re in the middle of training. You got humiliated and take it out on me? I’m not some pushover.”

She ruined my post-Eumseupmari high.

“If you won’t come, I’ll go to you!”

Ignoring me, Ping Tao stubbornly drew her spear.

CRASH!

Before she could charge, an axe struck where she stood.

Ping Tao-China’s “Meteor”-dodged Suji’s swing, but panic flashed in her eyes.

Understandable. She nearly got hit just approaching me.

Her uniform was already torn by the axe.

“What is this?”

“You almost died to my attack, yet dare challenge Eun-ha? Think you stand a chance?”

Suji smirked, axe in hand.

“What?”

“Eun-ha’s far stronger than me. And you’re weaker.”

Suji’s grin turned terrifying-like she’d decapitate Ping Tao any second.

Even Si-a (as Si-woo) drew her sword warily.

“China still inflates your ego, huh? Came to ‘broaden your horizons,’ as you boasted? Good for you.”

She’s picked up my sarcasm well.

But why is Yuzuki so shocked?

Did she underestimate Suji and Si-a too? Or is her intel wrong?

Hanseong itself doesn’t know about their awakenings-no way Japan would.

“For the record, Suji and Si-woo lost to me. And Reina whines daily.”

“What are you saying!?”

Suji and Si-a lost to me in every sense.

And Reina gets ravaged nightly.

“What?”

“Simply put, you’re the weakest here.”

“How dare you insult me!”

Insult? She’s maybe Park Ji-soo tier-just unlucky to face me and the heroines first.

Starting with Yuzuki left her too humiliated to fight back.

In the original, she was top-tier among heroines.

Even now, it’s unclear if Reina or Suji could beat her.

“Oh? Really think you can take me?”

Mad dogs need discipline. Time to rein her in. Kotone seems to have riled her up enough.

Reluctantly, I drew my sword wreathed in white flames.

Kotone’s eyes sparkled; Ping Tao grinned, thinking I’d finally engage.

Not my style, but subduing her requires this.

“E-Eun-ha!”

“Hmm?”

“I’ll let you touch my breasts if you hold back now!”

Reina suddenly offered her chest as bargaining chips.

Oh? Breasts? I can compromise for breasts.

In front of everyone too-what boldness. Is she embracing her wifely role?

Does she think I’d lose to this beer-brand bitch?

“Oh? Worried about me?”

“No, the dungeon! You’ll have to pay for damages!”

Worrying about the dungeon? Harsh.

“Fine. But I get to grope you here?”

I mimed squeezing breasts mid-air. Reina looked disgusted.

That expression turns me on.

“W-wait! People are watching! Have you no shame?”

“The other teams aren’t here.”

“What about Kotone?”

“Kotone-chan already knows all about me, right?”

I winked. Kotone met my gaze and nodded.

“See? She’s fine with it.”

“Hold on. What about me?”

The beer-named bitch ruined the mood. I’m busy planning to fondle Reina.

“Hey, we need to clear this dungeon first. Don’t drag our grades down with your tantrum.”

“Running away?”

“Are you that self-centered? Fine if you want to die, but we care about our scores!”

Si-woo and I don’t need grades-our strength guarantees entry anywhere. But Ping Tao needs humbling.

“Guh.”

“That what you want?”

She trembled with rage.

“What’s the boss here?” Suji asked.

“A giant glass peacock. Shoots glass shards. Strong.”

“Is it meaningful for us?”

No. We’ve already awakened. No reason to fight some glass bird.

Our teamwork is flawless. The others like Ji-soo are decent by A-class standards.

In the original, guilds teach teamwork anyway. The real issue is Ping Tao.

She glares daggers at me.

“No point. Just kill it. But Miss Beer here might ruin our scores.”

“You mocking me?”

After all her nonsense.

Fine. I’ll teach her a lesson.

I tilted my head with a sly smile.

“Think you can beat the glass peacock?”

“You looking down on me?”

“You’ve only been humiliated so far.”

Can’t argue with facts.

She clenched her fists, shaking.

“Fine! I’ll solo it!”

Idiot. Took the bait.
