38. The Peerless Beauty.

“Il-gunsa-nim, you really came back from the brink today. Hohoho.”

“….”

 

 

A grand feast.

Except for the swordsmen who were injured and returned to the palace, the remaining members rented a manor and held a large banquet.

The number of people wasn’t that large, but the scale was quite big.

 

 

 

 

 

Just as three of the Seventeen Elders of the Pear Blossom Palace were about to engage in a bloody duel with Woo Su-rin of the Sword Pavilion, the government office, having received a report, intervened and barely mediated the fight.

 

Of course, a dozen people were already dead or injured, and the damage to property was enormous, but the government office glossed over it with a moderate amount of compensation.

After all, it was commonplace for martial artists to fight and die, and trying to control every single incident would require too much administrative power.

 

 

Both the Pavilion Lord Woo Su-rin and the woman called Chief Yu explained the situation with Yu-eun and the infamy of the Pear Blossom Palace in detail, insisting that they must be annihilated, but they were not heeded. Instead, they were warned that if they caused another disturbance, the government would actively intervene.

 

 

In fact, the government was also determined to crack down on the Demonic Martial Alliance, but that was only in areas where the Righteous Martial Alliance, which was relatively obedient to the government, had strong power. In places like this, where the Pear Blossom Palace was right in front of them, it was out of the question.

 

 

And so, they disbanded.

At least within this city, they could no longer clash with each other.

 

 

 

After that, all that remained were the three elders of the Pear Blossom Palace.

Their purpose was all too obvious.

 

 

To save Il-gunsa-nim? Of course, that was part of it, but the main reason was probably to defile Yu-eun.

 

And so, the scene unfolded.

In the rented manor, the elders held a drinking party to feed the Pear Blossom swordsmen, and the high-ranking ones, along with Kim Su-hyeon, took a room with Yu-eun and went inside.

 

 

They made lewd jokes while having Yu-eun attend to them with drinks, accompanied by various forms of sexual harassment, but Kim Su-hyeon couldn’t bring herself to stop them.

Even though the government had intervened, if the situation had continued as it was, Kim Su-hyeon would have been killed or seriously injured long ago, and Yu-eun would have been taken away.

It was the current three elders who had prevented that from happening.

But now, could she stop them from fulfilling their desires?

 

 

“…Please don’t do this.”

 

Of course, she formally told them to stop.

But having come this far, there was no way the elders would listen to her.

 

 

“Why? Do you want to eat him all by yourself? Isn’t that too much? Sleeping in the same room every night.”

“Ha…that’s not true. I just-”

“Hmph…don’t make such ridiculous excuses, Il-gunsa-nim. Let’s be honest, shall we? Huh?”

 

 

Su-hyeon’s words were lightly ignored, resulting in Yu-eun being even more harassed.

Some even put their hands inside Yu-eun’s clothes and fondled his lower body, showing signs of openly engaging in sexual acts.

 

 

“…I swear I didn’t do anything like that. I was just trying to protect him.”

“Ha. Yeah, yeah. That’s what you’d say. Our noble Il-gunsa-nim.”

 

The elder gave a perfunctory answer and brought her mouth to Yu-eun’s reddened ear.

 

 

“Our young master likes it lewd, right? I can serve you well. Hehehehe.”

“Ugh…”

“Eighth Elder! You’re taking too much for yourself.”

“Uh-huh. There’s an order to things, you know.”

“Instead of that, let’s all do it together. All at once.”

“Oh my. Look at that boner. Oh my, liquid’s coming out….”

“It’s so big? To think you were monopolizing this all alone, that’s too much.”

 

Su-hyeon was ignored.

She clutched her head.

Should she leave Yu-eun to them like this?

 

No, she couldn’t.

Surely her lord, Yeo Se-rin, loved him.

But if things continued like this, Yu-eun might be harassed by even more elders, not just here but also back at the Pear Blossom Palace.

 

 

She couldn’t let that happen!!

 

 

She knew there was almost no chance they would listen to Su-hyeon, but she couldn’t just stand by.

 

 

 

“Stop it.”

 

 

Su-hyeon put down her glass and spoke in a stronger tone.

Thanks to that, the elders’ attention was drawn a little.

 

 

“Ha…Il-gunsa-nim, aren’t you going too far, seriously? Humanly speaking.”

“I don’t think elders can talk about humanity. Well, even setting that aside, Yu-eun Gongja is someone whom the Palace Lord has marked as her man.”

“There have been many times like that before~ But in the end, he was shared~.”

 

As expected, they wouldn’t listen.

Su-hyeon sighed, stood up from her seat, and grabbed Yu-eun’s arm, which was caught between the elders.

 

 

“Yu-eun-ssi, let’s go in now.”

“Su-hyeon-ssi…”

“Uh-oh? What are you doing now?”

“Eighth Elder, Twelfth Elder, Thirteenth Elder. Do you all want to be disposed of by the Palace Lord?”

“…Ah, seriously. You’re making such a fuss over just one man!”

“Il-gunsa-nim, if you keep acting like this, I won’t stand for it. Do you not know who you’re alive thanks to?”

“I’m grateful for that, but I still have to obey the Palace Lord’s orders.”

“Hmph. Saying that while secretly trying to eat him all up yourself, do you think we don’t know?”

“Ha…I really didn’t, I just-”

“It’s okay…Su-hyeon-ssi….”

“…Yu-eun-ssi?”

 

A sudden situation.

Yu-eun gently removed Su-hyeon’s hand.

 

“What…?”

“It’s okay. Su-hyeon-ssi, you’re hurt…don’t overdo it.”

“No….”

“I can understand the situation to some extent.”

“….”

 

Of course, Yu-eun was acting because he needed to release his pent-up sexual desires, but Su-hyeon saw it completely differently. It was as if he was sacrificing himself for Su-hyeon.

 

 

“I’m okay…so-”

“Kyaa!! Look at him talking! He’s so cute I could die~.”

 

The Eighth Elder hugged Yu-eun tightly and rubbed her face against his.

 

“I can’t take it anymore.”

“Me too!”

 

The elders no longer cared whether Su-hyeon was there or not.

They threw off their clothes, revealing their slender bodies, and charged at Yu-eun.

The clothes Yu-eun was wearing were also quickly stripped off.

 

 

“….”

 

 

Su-hyeon stood there in a daze.

She tasted both self-loathing and a sense of depravity at the same time.

 

The moment Yu-eun said, ‘I’m okay…’ with tearful eyes, her heart thumped! and skipped a beat.

Of course, her heart always beat, but she, who already had experience with love, knew how dangerous that leap was.

 

 

‘No, it can’t be…!’

 

 

The lord’s man.

She, who felt a flutter of affection for him.

And the elders who were starting to defile him.

 

 

 

“Il-gunsa-nim, are you going to join us?”

 

The Eighth Elder, who was naked and straddling Yu-eun’s lower body, having swallowed his huge member, turned around and asked.

The way she provocatively rolled her hips was truly seductive.

 

“Or are you going to go in? Don’t get in the way.”

“……Just for today.”

 

Su-hyeon barely managed to utter those words and left the room.

Because she couldn’t bear to watch.

“Here, say ah~ do ah~”

“Ah…ah….”

 

The next day.

The scene that Su-hyeon, who had a sleepless night, witnessed was so incomprehensible that she wondered if it was really real.

 

 

“Here, try some of mine too.”

“Ah, no, you don’t have to give me any more.”

“Aing. You have to eat well. Ah~”

 

“????”

 

 

The elders, who had always regarded men as beneath them and had committed countless rapes and gang rapes, were now clinging to Yu-eun and spewing out aegyo.

If you only looked at what they were doing, you would believe they were courtesans.

 

 

“Aww. Our Gongja-nim eats so well.”

 

Even yesterday, she thought that calling him Gongja Gongja was just half-joking.

Because there was no way they would really respect Yu-eun.

But looking at what they were doing today, she thought that maybe they were being sincere.

 

 

‘What the hell?’

 

 

Because the situation was so unbelievable, not only her but also the Pear Blossom swordsmen were dumbfounded and glancing at them.

Su-hyeon decided to test the waters.

 

 

“Now that the elders have forcibly broken the Palace Lord’s monopoly, are you going to take him to the ranch?”

“What?! Oh my. Look at this woman talking nonsense.”

“Ha. Are you trying to abandon him now that he’s not yours anymore?”

“Oh my goodness.”

 

The elders made exaggerated reactions and denounced Su-hyeon, then started kissing Yu-eun on the cheeks to comfort him.

 

 

“Gongja-nim, ignore the words of that crazy bitch.”

“We’ll protect you, so you don’t have to think about things like ranches.”

“I didn’t think Il-gunsa-nim was such a wicked woman.”

“….”

 

 

Su-hyeon was so dumbfounded that she could only let out a hollow laugh. What on earth could have changed people so much?

 

 

“…I was just saying that because your reactions were so surprising. What is it? That reaction.”

“Hmph. Why are you asking when you already know?”

 

The Eighth Elder gave Su-hyeon a glare while giving Yu-eun, who was chewing on food, a deep kiss.

 

 

“You should know if you did it a lot.”

“No…I didn’t. I didn’t do it. I still have a lover in Hanyang who’s alive and well. Do you think I’d take in another man?”

“Ah, yeah. There she goes again.”

“I’m so tired of hearing that.”

“So shameless. Aren’t you afraid of the heavens?”

 

 

What on earth were the most notorious villains of the Jianghu saying?

Su-hyeon’s head started to ache.

 

 

‘Ha…what the hell…?’
