36.Martial Arts Appearance

Yoo-eun, having dealt with the Blood Cult, a group trying to overthrow the Murim, and their leader, the Blood Demon, in one move, was wandering around the area.

Even though it was wandering, I didn’t go far. Because I haven’t decided how to move yet.

 

 

“Is this Murim?”

 

 

It’s meal time now.

Ten secretaries were moving around preparing food. But the menu was unusual.

It was impossible to think of it as an outdoor menu.

 

 

In the first place, they brought a whole container while preparing this and that, so I seriously wondered if this was really a Murim experience.

Shouldn’t you be wandering around chewing on jerky in Murim?!

 

 

“Just fucking eat it.”

 

Seo-hyun, displeased with So-ryeong, who was complaining, said almost shouting.

To her, Eun So-ryeong just sounded like she was talking shit.

 

 

“Hey, Ajumma. I’m delicate, okay? Unlike someone.”

“…I’m gonna hit you, seriously.”

“Huh? You’re going to hit a minor who just turned 17? You’re a harsh person. Just like an Ajumma.”

“…”

 

 

The sound of grinding teeth could be heard.

I wanted to beat the hell out of this sly bitch, but unfortunately, Yoo-eun dotes on her, so it’s not easy to do that.

I was able to survive that brutal training all thanks to her.

 

 

At the time, Eun So-ryeong, who was marked by not only Seo-hyun but also the head instructor, had high scores in various areas, but was close to failing in the most important loyalty and affection. Originally, she was supposed to be disposed of without surviving.

But no matter how reckless Seo-hyun was, she couldn’t bring herself to dispose of Eun So-ryeong, so she reluctantly released her.

 

 

The result is this.

 

So-ryeong always growled and sneered at Seo-hyun whenever she saw her.

 

These days, now that she’s 17 in body age, she’s even teasing her by calling her ‘Ajumma’. It was extremely annoying.

 

 

“What is it? Are you fighting again? Don’t you ever get tired of it?”

 

 

Yoo-eun said while dipping garlic bread prepared for dessert in soup.

 

 

“If you fight one more time, the two of you will become lovers and live happily ever after.”

“Ugh.”

 

So-ryeong threw down her spoon, feeling nauseous while eating.

Seo-hyun felt upset for no reason seeing that.

 

 

Of course, Seo-hyun absolutely doesn’t like So-ryeong. Ab.so.lutely.

However, she’s getting pissed off for no reason because she’s reacting like that to being involved with her.

 

 

“Uh-huh. You shouldn’t throw away your precious spoon. So-ryeong-ssi. These small things are the main cause of environmental destruction.”

“That’s disposable, and this is a silver spoon, you idiot.”

“Ah.”

 

Seo-hyun flinched at her curse, but Yoo-eun didn’t budge.

So-ryeong has a taste like this, I guess.

That kind of true taste of coming into my arms while saying harsh words.

 

Now that I think about it, now that I’ve come to Murim, it’s time to take So-ryeong’s virginity.

 

 

 

 

“Okay. Then let’s go on a full-fledged Gangho trip. We should go to the city first, right?”

“I think it would be good to have a suitable base before that…”

“A suitable base?”

“It’s a bit difficult to travel here and there with a trailer. The roads aren’t very good either… Wouldn’t it be nice to have something like a mountain fortress?”

“Indeed.”

 

 

If I go down to the city, I’ll be able to get basic necessities, so that didn’t seem bad either.

 

“Now that I think about it, there were guys called Green Forest 72 Bandits in Murim. I wonder if there are any here too?”

“Even if there are no Green Forests, there will be bandits.”

“That’s right. Good.”

 

 

Yoo-eun had everyone except himself, Seo-hyun, Eun So-ryeong, and one cum receptacle and one sex toy occupy a suitable mountain fortress, and then went down to the city with the four of them.

Evening as the sun sets.

The red sunset is staining the sky.

 

“Hoo…”

“Team Leader-nim, shouldn’t we go back now?”

“…Hong-mae, do you think so too?”

 

Namgung Yoo-i returned to the city after a hard search.

After searching around the traces of the Blood Cult group she first discovered, there was no place that was intact.

Not only her, but all the members were in that state.

Everyone had small wounds engraved on them.

 

 

“To be honest, we also think it’s strange… but we don’t think it’s a big deal. Who cares who killed them?”

“That’s…”

“The important thing is that all the Blood Cult members were killed… Isn’t that enough? I think we should go back to the Alliance and report first, and then do additional investigations later.”

 

Yoo So-hong, who has the position of Deputy Team Leader.

She was a martial artist with the skills of a second-rate at the age of 22, but she is still a regular member because she doesn’t have a so-called backing.

If she belonged to the Namgung Clan or a similar sect, the Team Leader would have been her, not Namgung Yoo-i.

 

 

“…”

 

 

Yoo-i glanced at the members, and they all seemed to agree with Yoo So-hong.

In the end, continuing the search was just Yoo-i’s stubbornness.

 

‘…Is it really just my own thought? I don’t think I should just let it go.’

 

 

Unfortunately, no one supported her opinion.

 

“Let’s go back to the inn for now.”

 

Yoo-i also gave up halfway, although she postponed the decision.

There’s no point in forcing it alone when the members don’t want to help. It will only strain the relationship.

She just became the Team Leader, and if it’s like this already, the future will be very tiring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I came back to the inn….

 

 

 

 

“Ah, I told you I’ll give you the money later. I’ll definitely be a rich man.”

“…Young Master, are you really saying that now?”

 

There was a commotion.

 

“What’s going on?”

“It seems like there’s a rogue trying to eat and run. I’ll go in first.”

 

 

Yoo So-hong showed off her justice and drew the sword she was wearing on her waist.

 

Sreung!

 

 

And after going insideㅡ,

 

 

“Hieuk?!”

 

 

She made a strange sound.

 

 

“Hong-mae!!”

 

 

Yoo-i, startled, jumped in, and the rest of the members followed her into the inn.

And what they saw was….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“!!!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

An absolutely beautiful man surrounded by absolutely beautiful women.

It felt like those people were living in another world.

 

 

These days, many martial artists cultivate their beauty and call themselves Young Masters or Princesses, but all of them were considered just twigs in front of them.

 

It was truly an overwhelming beauty.

The waiter who was fascinated by them again looked amazing.

 

 

“Ah!”

 

 

Yoo-i, who had been lost in thought for a while, came to her senses and looked for Yoo So-hong.

She was sitting on the floor with a flushed face.

 

 

“Hong-mae?!”

“Ah, aah…”

 

 

Fortunately, she didn’t seem to be hurt, but she was completely lost in thought, looking at the handsome man.

It seems like she can’t come to her senses because of the overwhelming beauty.

Yoo-i was like that for a while too, so I couldn’t blame her.

 

 

“Ah… Team, Team Leader-nim.”

“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

“No… Nothing… It’s nothing.”

 

 

Yoo-i helped So-hong, who was about to get up.

Fortunately, So-hong got up soon, as if her legs hadn’t given out.

But she dropped her sword.

 

Attention was focused in an instant.

 

 

“Ugh…”

 

 

A martial artist dropping their sword.

Could there be another shame like this?

 

 

She quickly picked up the sword, and her already red face turned even redder.

 

“Oh?”

 

The handsome man reacted.

 

 

“Seeing you holding a sword, you must be a Murim person.”

 

 

Is he completely without caution?

He smiled happily and approached without hesitation.

 

 

“Hicc!”

 

 

So-hong stepped back.

Yoo-i sighed softly and faced him.

 

 

“I am Namgung Yoo-i, the 9th Team Leader of the Vermilion Bird Unit’s Search Team. Who are you, Guigongja?”

 

 

Thinking that he didn’t look like a gang of thieves, I politely clasped my hands.

Then the man exclaimed, “Ooh!”

 

 

“That’s the famous Pogwon!”

 

 

Then he awkwardly tries to follow along.

 

 

“…?”

 

 

Strange.

What’s so awkward about it?

 

 

“I’m Yoo-eun from the Harem Palace.”

“Ha..rem…Palace?”

 

I’ve never heard of that group.

Seeing that it’s called ‘Palace (宮)’, it seems to be quite large, but if I don’t have any knowledge, could it be a sect in Saeoe or Daegoryeo? If so, I can understand why the way he speaks is strange and why Pogwon is awkward.

 

 

“By the way, the person here is the Palace Lord-nim.”

“What? Huh? Uh… Uh… Yes. Nice to meet you. No, hmm. Nice to meet you. I’m Eun So-ryeong, the Palace Lord of the Harem Palace.”

“Palace Lord…”

 

 

I don’t know what it is, but anyway, she thought that if she was in the position of Palace Lord, she wouldn’t be on the same level as herself, the Team Leader of a mere search team, so she became more polite.

 

 

“The daughter of the Namgung Clan greets the Murim senior-nim.”

“Hehe. Okay, let’s get along well.”

“By the way, Namgung Sojeo, we are currently in a bit of a difficult situation, so can you help us?”

“What… Ah!”

 

 

Suddenly, she remembered what she had heard outside the inn.

She was definitely arguing with the waiter about money.

 

 

“Perhaps… did you meet a gang of bandits?”

 

 

They have such beautiful appearances and their senses are strange, but the material of their clothes is quite luxurious.

There’s no way they don’t have money, so I vaguely guessed that they met bandits.

 

 

“That’s not it.”

 

 

It was the blonde woman who answered.

 

“…?”

“I’m Im Seo-hyun, the Harem Palace Lord-nim’s bodyguard.”

 

She looked at the Harem Palace Lord (Eun So-ryeong) with a strange expression and then continued her explanation.

 

 

“Strictly speaking, we have money… but it’s currency that’s not used here.”

“Ah. In that caseㅡ,”

“Me!”

 

 

At that time, Yoo So-hong, who had been standing behind Yoo-i, suddenly intervened.

 

 

“I, I, I, I… I’ll help you…”
