40. The Reverse Current

40. The Reverse Current

The Namgung Clan’s annihilation.

At first, people didn’t believe it.

The Namgung Clan, of all clans, was annihilated? Who would believe that a massive clan that could mobilize as many as five thousand warriors had suddenly met its demise?

But just like with the Ewha Palace, this too was soon confirmed as fact.

The five thousand troops that had set out from Anhui Province were annihilated as soon as they set foot in Zhejiang, and their main base in Anhui was easily occupied by the special forces dispatched from the Harem Palace.

Formations? Against their overwhelming power, formations were meaningless.

With the Namgung Clan destroyed, Anhui Province, which had been included in the Righteous Faction’s sphere of influence thanks to them, fell into severe chaos.

It wasn’t that there were no Evil Factions in the Righteous Faction’s sphere of influence, nor were there no Righteous Factions in the Evil Faction’s sphere of influence. So, taking advantage of the disappearance of the Righteous Faction’s leader, the Evil Factions rose up.

Ironically, however, this revolt ended quickly.

This was because the Harem Palace’s special forces, who had cleaned up the Namgung Clan’s main base, crushed everything that bothered them, regardless of whether they were Righteous or Evil.

In just one week, the Harem Palace had taken over not only the Namgung Clan but also Anhui.

However, just like in Zhejiang, because the land was so vast, they had only occupied the main strongholds in detail. Moreover, the government troops of Anhui were still intact.

Yueun acknowledged that they were severely short on manpower to occupy the Central Plains and sought a way to solve this problem.

The easiest way was to use Bojinia, but that was a last resort.

In the end, he decided to conscript the female warriors in Zhejiang and Anhui and turn them into maids.

“We have harvested about 3,000 people from Ewha Palace, about 500 from Bota Sect, about 2,000 from Namgung Clan, about 1,200 from Zhejiang, and about 3,000 from Anhui, so we were able to secure a total of about 10,000 maids.”

“Oh. Good, good.”

“And the home country has started producing maid uniforms exclusively for the Murim world, and the first batch of supplies is scheduled to arrive next week.”

“If it’s a maid uniform exclusively for the Murim world, is it a qipao?”

“It’s a general martial arts uniform… but if you want, we can make it a qipao.”

“Nah, nah. Qipao is a bit too modern. Just… yeah, let’s go with what Serin wears.”

“You mean Hanfu. Understood. And…”

“?”

“There’s a request to provide some modern facilities.”

“That must be Soryeong-ssi.”

“Yes.”

“I had a feeling.”

“She’s frustrated because the Wi-Fi doesn’t work…”

“…Did it ever?”

Yueun felt a bit dumbfounded, but at the same time, he found it somewhat cute.

Imagining her, always complaining, lying in bed and whining about the Wi-Fi, a wicked smile naturally spread across his face.

“But why are you bringing up Soryeong-ssi’s opinions all of a sudden? I thought you’d ignore her because you don’t get along.”

“It’s not that I particularly like her opinions… but to be honest, we’ll have to provide modern facilities someday to use it as an occupied territory of the Eunha Empire.”

“Ah. That’s true.”

Come to think of it, the external reason for coming to Murim was to secure territory for the Eunha Empire.

Yueun pondered for a moment and nodded.

“Alright. Then, while we’re at it, let’s work on infrastructure-related facilities so that it can spread out from Hangzhou. Electricity, water, stuff like that. Say we’re giving out free water. They’ll like that.”

“Are we installing Wi-Fi too?”

“Do that. But wouldn’t that mean we have to keep the dimensional gate open at all times?”

“It would cost a lot.”

“Hmm…”

Opening a dimensional gate that costs a lot just for Wi-Fi doesn’t make sense in many ways.

But not being able to let his woman use the internet kind of hurts his pride in many ways. It wasn’t a situation he liked.

“Then let’s do this. Earth is going to focus on high value-added industries more and more, right?”

“That’s right.”

“And I don’t know what the Bojinia Federal Empire is doing right now, but they’re going to build factories and farms on a huge amount of flat land, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then, since it’s a bit inefficient, let’s just do secondary industries or higher on Earth, and do food-oriented industries on a large scale here. Let’s concentrate all the Jungwon population in Zhejiang and then flatten the rest to make a super-large farm. How about that?”

“……”

Seohyun is strangely silent.

“And to be honest, even though it’s called Jungwon, this is also Earth. There will be Europe and America too. Let’s flatten those too and make them into farms.”

“Ahem… Master-nim? Do we really have to go that far…”

“Why? Won’t it work?”

“It’s not that it won’t work… but the cost of converting it would be considerable… and so would the administrative costs. And concentrating the Jungwon people in one place isn’t very efficient…”

“Is that so? Then let’s just lay down the infrastructure for now, and if there are any experts from the home country, bring them over. Let’s think about how to operate this Earth.”

“…Yes.”

The territory had expanded from Jungwon to Earth before he knew it.

“I’m just going to enjoy Murim and go back, so I hope you can make it run on its own after that.”

“Understood.”

+++

After the meeting with Seohyun, Yueun headed to where the daughters of the Namgung Clan were.

The palace that was being newly built on the site of the Ewha Palace was largely incomplete, but there was no problem with simply residing there, so he had put a large number of women there as if storing them.

Among them, Peng Soryeon, Namgung Cheongha, Namgung Hye, and Namgung Yui, the four daughters he had obtained from the Namgung Clan, were all put in one room.

“Knock knock~ I’m coming in~”

Yueun opened the massive iron door with a proud feeling in his lower body.

As soon as the door opened, a sharp sound of air being torn apart was heard.

“Oops.”

He snatched it away, a sword thrown by a woman.

Judging by the fact that the tip of the sharpness stopped right in front of Yueun’s forehead, it would have touched his head if he hadn’t caught it.

Not that it would have meant much.

“Dangerous, dangerous.”

Yueun threw the sword into the hallway with a still sly smile.

“Die!!!”

Soon, women rushed in from all directions.

Without exception, they held blades and jumped in to kill Yueun.

“Muda muda muda muda!”

Was he an adult playing with children?

Yueun knocked away the women’s swords with exaggerated gestures and voices.

“Eek!”

“Hehehe. Our little lambs wanted to play with me.”

“Shut up, you evil bastard!!”

The women, spewing only cute swear words compared to modern women, were trying to hurt Yueun somehow.

But that only brought pleasure to Yueun.

After causing such a commotion for about two hours, the tired women began to shed tears one by one.

Starting with the most faint-hearted Namgung Yui, then Namgung Hye, and even Peng Soryeon.

Only Namgung Cheongha gritted her teeth with that cold face and rushed in.

“Hmm. It’s cute, but should we stop here today? I have to do what I have to do.”

In the end, Yueun, who had become annoyed, strongly hit her stomach.

“Keo…eok…!”

Overwhelmed by the pain and the momentary surge of fear, Namgung Cheongha, who had been boldly rushing in until now, grabbed her stomach and collapsed.

“Cheongha-ya!”

“Oh. Firm yet soft. Is this the stomach of a Murim person.”

He liked Cheongha’s stomach.

Yueun stopped the women who were trying to go to her and grabbed Cheongha’s hair.

“Ugh…”

“Alright. I’ve decided on you for today.”

Originally, he was going to enjoy a donburi play with his daughters, including Peng Soryeon, but something more exciting had come up.

“Hehe. Yeah. You have to glare like that. That’s what makes it thrilling.”

That face, trembling but glaring as if to kill him.

The sadistic desire to engrave fear on this beauty arose madly.

Yueun immediately grabbed Namgung Cheongha’s hair and left the room.

The women tried to stop him somehow, and Peng Soryeon especially thrashed around, telling him to violate her instead, but he ignored them.

After pushing them far away once and closing the thick iron door, they couldn’t come out anymore.

“I wonder what our Cheongha-chan’s crying face will look like. I’m so excited.”

“Just kill me!!”

“Nope~ I won’t kill you~ I’m going to fuck you for the rest of my life.”

Yueun, who had dragged her to the room with treatment worse than a human, slapped her cheek as soon as he entered.

“Keuk…”

It wasn’t a full swing, but just a slight touch, but even that was a shock that made her brain feel numb.

Yueun then grabbed her hair, pushed her against the wall, raised her arms, held them in one hand, and fixed them to the wall.

She resisted by raising her feet, but she only hurt herself more, so she soon gave up.

In the end, like any other woman, she chose the ‘consistent non-response strategy’ when she was cornered to the extreme.

She decided not to show any reaction to whatever Yueun did.

And this was what Yueun had expected.

“It’s okay. Keep doing that. You won’t be able to anyway.”

“…”

She, who had been glaring at Yueun, turned her head as if she didn’t want to deal with him.

And immediately,

Bbeoeong!

“!!!!”

Yueun’s fist was planted in her stomach.

“Heok…heoeuk…”

Several times more pain than before.

A fear that wouldn’t even let her speak.

Her legs momentarily lost strength and she almost collapsed, but her body was still standing because of the two arms Yueun was holding.

“Now. From now on, we will start the special training course for cum receptacle.”

“…?”

“If you complete this training, you are free. You can regain your freedom.”

“Heuek…what…?”

“First, the stomach. I will hit the stomach ten times. How many times?”

“…”

She looked at him as if asking what kind of nonsense he was spouting, but Yueun stubbornly continued his strange play.

“Next. The pussy. I will hit the pussy fifteen times with my palm.”

“…”

She didn’t know what it was, but the word ‘hit’ had already brought fear, and her body was trembling even more.

No matter how cold and beautiful she was, and no matter how strong her will was, Yueun’s attack was so painful that it would turn everything into powder.

“And finally. I will hit the breasts twenty times. If you endure this process, I will release you.”

She couldn’t understand what kind of nonsense he was talking about, but the words ‘I will release you if you endure it’ at the end caught her ear.

“Re, really…?”

“That’s right. You can stop this process at any time, whenever you want. You can give up if you’re tired, if it sucks, if you can’t do it anymore.”

“…Are you…only releasing me?”

“Of course not. You and your whole family. If you want, I can even release the entire Namgung Clan again.”

It was impossible to release most of the people except for the main prey because they had already become maids, but Yueun was confident anyway.

No matter how strong her mentality and will were, it was literally impossible to endure Yueun’s fist.

Even if she could somehow endure the first ten stomach punches, there were then 15 pussy punches, and then the grand finale of 20 breast punches.

The stomach was a fairly painful area, but the pussy would be more painful than that, and the breasts were outright the women’s weak spot.

Moreover, the number of times increased as it went on.

Of course, it was impossible.

But how exciting would it be for Namgung Cheongha to burn with will without knowing that.

“Ah, of course, the hits so far don’t count towards the number. We’re starting from now. Ten hits on the stomach, fifteen hits on the pussy, twenty hits on the breasts. And when you think you can’t do it anymore, you can shout, ‘I’m sorry, Master-nim. I dared to stand up to you with my mere meat pussy. If you forgive me just once, I will serve you with my pussy and all my heart.'”

“…”

It was quite long, but it was nothing to a Murim person who memorized martial arts verses.

But the content was pretty fucked up.

‘I will never…never lose…!’

As Yueun expected, Cheongha burned with will and made a firm resolution to save the Namgung Clan.
