“Take medicine. What should I hide? This is it.”

“It’s an aphrodisiac.”

As soon as I saw the medicine that Dang Yuri had taken out, I smelled it and realized what it was.

“Choo, an elixir?!”

Mo Yongseol’s face immediately turned red.

Although the term aphrodisiac is a roundabout way of saying it, it is a medicine that makes you blush because it is the real thing.

“Dang Yuri. Do you know how dangerous the medicine you just took out is?”

“I wish you wouldn’t look at me like that. It won’t be too late to make a decision after hearing everything.”

Dang Yuri handed me a paper bag containing elixir.

“My plan is simple. I’m going to make all the women in the Jagummun, including Yoo Ki-yeon, addicted to aphrodisiacs. Then I’m going to observe their actions and respond accordingly.”

“Let me hear your story.”

What a ridiculous plan.

“If you say it’s a plan on the level of a thousand demons, just know that I can’t help but be extremely disappointed in you.”

“Comparing me to Cheonma. Are you trying to fight a life-or-death battle with me right now?”

“I think a similar scheme will come out as Cheonma and Kyeol.”

“That’s too much, really. Even if we grew up in the Demonic Cult, it’s a serious insult to say that we think at the same level as Cheonma.”

“Then why don’t you just tell a story that won’t make you hear such things?”

“So listen. Okay, I’m addicted to aphrodisiacs. Miss Mo-yong?”

“Oh, yes?”

Dang Yu-ri asks Murong Seol a question.

“How do you think Yoo Ki-yeon and other Ja-geom-mun disciples will act?”

“Uh, um….”

Mo Yongseol scratched his cheek for a moment.

“…Wouldn’t you like to find your beloved lover and ask him to comfort your body?”

He gave a very classic, exemplary answer.

“That’s right. Especially, Yoo Ki-yeon has a fiancee. So….”

“That’s a thought on the level of a celestial demon.”

I pointed to the floor to Dang Yuri.

“This is a pharmacy, and I can solve any aphrodisiac problem. Are you trying to create a situation where there is an aphrodisiac that I can’t solve right now?”

“That’s one way to do it.”

“My pride can’t tolerate that.”

It is also an insult to the teacher.

“Then, can you detoxify this? It’s a specially made elixir.”

“Specially made and made for you….”

For a moment, let’s look at the theory of recruitment.

“Congressman?”

“…Nothing.”

I waved my hand in the air so that only Dang Yuri could see it, without Mo Yongseol noticing.

Tang Dynasty.

That party of Sacheondangga.

Although it is the same word as the party in Dang Yuri, the party I am talking about is not Dang Yuri, who is an orphan abandoned by the devil’s cult and a collateral line.

It’s a real Sacheondangga.

The source of this elixir is the Dangga in Sacheon – that is, the Sacheon Dangga, a part of the Five Great Families corresponding to the Jeongpa.

“You know it, right?”

“Of course. Isn’t it about the ‘hypocrite’ part?”

“Yeah. It’s not that hard to get this kind of elixir. That’s why I’m going to use it.”

“So….”

“It doesn’t take that long to get here from the self-inspection, right?”

Dang Yuri moves her hand with a sinister expression.

“Let’s make all of them addicted to aphrodisiacs and send them to the disciples of Jageommun, including Yoo Gi-yeon and the women of Jageommun. They’ll be a perfect match for each other’s lovers.”

“If that happens, the only person left in the Moryong family who has self-inspection is a woman named ‘Yuri’.”

“Okay. I’m the only one left in this Mo Yong Se family. But what if they have ‘other desires’?”

Dang Yuri turns his eyes to Murong Seol.

“If Yoo Ki-yeon and the women in the self-inspection department were addicted to aphrodisiacs, what would happen if they asked ‘someone’ to solve their addiction?”

“…Huh?”

Mo Yongseol’s eyes narrow.

“What would you do if, instead of crying and begging for help in front of everyone, he came secretly in the middle of the night and tried to attack you? Young Lady?”

“……That’s.”

Mo Yongseol raised his hand to his sword with his eyes narrowed like a snake and his mouth wide smiling.

“First of all, I think it would be okay to cut off all those aroused hands… Ah.”

Mo Yongseol looked at me with surprise.

“That, sir?”

“Hmm.”

I turned my head away from Mo Yongseol.

“First of all, I know what I have to do.”

I took the elixir from Dang Yuri.

[Late night, in an inn a little distance from Mo Yong-se.]

“You proposed to Geomseong? Are you crazy?”

Kiwoo Ryang, a martial artist who was drinking heavily at the inn, could not believe the words spoken by the young man in front of him.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

The tall, handsome young man smiled confidently, as if he had no shame.

“Did something go wrong?”

“You were wrong, but you were very wrong, you idiot!”

Kiwoo Ryang pounded his chest in frustration.

“Why? Why not go to Mo Yong-se and shout at him to kill you? ”

“Look, my friend. Even though you are my savior, there is clearly a line. Isn’t that right, Namgung hyung?”

“Hmm.”

Another young man sitting next to Giwoo-ryang put down his glass with a sour look on his face.

“Call me Nam hyung. I’m not Namgung, my last name is Nam and my first name is Gung.”

“Then, I guess you meant “hyung” by his full name. Anyway, so Namgung hyung, do you think that this “Mujeonggeom Hongik” is at fault? And I’m not the only one who thinks so?”

“I think it wouldn’t be strange if they all died.”

“Right, Nam hyung? I’m not weird, am I?”

Hongik Mujeonggeom, a man who suddenly heard two people call him ‘abnormal’, drank his glass in one gulp and ground his teeth.

“No, sirs. If a man doesn’t challenge the most beautiful woman in the world, how can he be called a man?”

“Aren’t you engaged?”

“It’s not marriage! Isn’t it the law that you don’t know until you get married? He must have done something.”

Hongik kept moving his hands in front of his eyes.

“There must have been some sort of hypnosis or soul-binding technique used. Otherwise, how can someone with only a little bit of medical skill win the heart of the most beautiful woman in the world?”

“Ha.”

“No. Because he’s a member of the National Assembly….”

Hongik lowered his voice with a meaningful expression on his face.

“He must have used ‘medicine’. He used his status as a member of parliament to mobilize the drugs, and then made Lady Mo Yong drunk on the drugs!”

“If Geomseong finds out what you’re saying and your true intentions, he’ll probably try to kill you.”

“Why?”

“You sent me a marriage proposal because you thought you couldn’t let the most beautiful woman in the world be stolen by a man like that, right?”

No matter how much he thought about it, Kiwoo Ryang couldn’t help but think, ‘That doesn’t seem to be the case,’ and the young man sitting next to him, Namgung, felt the same.

“Haha. Would the world’s greatest martial arts hero, Sword Master, kill someone so carelessly? ”

“……Won’t you kill me?”

“When Geomseong was active….”

“Oh my! What kind of slander! That’s all the devil’s trick! How can the greatest hero in the martial arts world be a murderer who swings his sword and kills people when he’s defeated!!”

Hongik shouted firmly.

“Huh! Just wait and see. The moment this Mujeonggeom reaches ‘Mujeongryong’ in Yongbongjihoe, even the Sword Master will change his mind! It is common sense that a martial artist should be with another martial artist, and it is natural for a strong lover to be with a strong man and have children!”

“Is that obvious…?”

“That’s common sense!”

Hongik kicked the table and went out.

“Hey, are you leaving? Black?”

“Toilet!”

“Ah, I’m going.”

After Hongik left, the remaining Kiwoo-ryang and Namgung looked awkwardly at Hongik’s empty seat and lowered their voices.

“Are you crazy?”

“You’re crazy.”

The two looked at each other and nodded.

“Brother Nam. Am I weird? Is it normal to provoke the best person in the world like that?”

“Karma… It’s a bit much to call it that, but it seems like a severe delusion. However, that delusion is similar to common sense in the martial arts world of the Central Plains, so abnormal people like us should understand.”

“Is this something I need to understand?”

“I think it would be better to just pretend not to know than to quarrel needlessly with someone who is trying to steal another man’s woman and make her his own wife.”

Both men let out a deep sigh at the same time.

“The two people seem to love each other and have become lovers, so how can you force the common sense of martial arts to separate them?”

“It’s not that he loves a woman, but he loves and desires his future self, having obtained the most beautiful woman in the world and received the approval of the swordsman.”

“Can you call that manly?”

“It is lamentable that so many men in the Central Plains consider such a thing chivalrous, but what can third-rate warriors like us do?”

Namgung’s shoulders slumped.

“After all, in the world of martial arts, power is law, and the strong become the just.”

“Is it chivalry for a strong man to steal another man’s woman and trample on another’s innocence?”

“That’s the kind of era it is. It’s a shame.”

“If Rep. Seok had been strong, wouldn’t that have happened?”

Kiwoo Ryang asked the question cautiously.

“He’s a member of the National Assembly, but if you look closely, he’s a master of the highest order, so strong that he lined up the people who proposed to Young Lady Mo Yong and made them all have their heads knocked out? ”

“Then, just like in the younger days of Geomseong, he must show his might himself. If he doesn’t win the Yongbongjihoe and earn the title of ‘Medicine Dragon’, those who will continue to separate their love will appear.”

“Alas, this is a sad thing. How can heaven send such a trial to those who love each other? Instead of sending down divine punishment to those who separate each other’s love and try to satisfy their own lust!”

“That’s right. If I were heaven-”

Kwakwang!!

“?!”

“What, thunder?”

A thunderous noise startled both men.

“Rain, is it raining?”

“No, that can’t be. This is literally a bolt from the blue-”

Gyaaaahh …

When they heard screams outside the inn, the two warriors ran outside with their swords on their waists.

“The sac is over there, so I’ll do the math with that!”

“It’s not about eating and running away, it’s about going to do righteousness!”

The two warriors left the inn, reassuring Jeomsoi, and headed toward where the screams had come from.

“Oh my…!”

“Wh, what the…!”

Pushy.

There was a man there whose whole body had turned to charcoal.

As if lightning had literally struck the clear blue sky, the man was shivering with his pants down.

And that man was Hongik Mujeonggeom, who had gone outside a little while ago to use the bathroom.

“Oh my gosh… Huh?”

“Why are you like that, Ki-hyung?”

“No, am I mistaken?”

Kiwoo Ryang felt as if something was shining far away, on the top floor of the highest pavilion in the Murong family’s manor.

“Over there… isn’t there a person standing there holding a sword?”

“……?”

“No, I guess I was mistaken.”

Kiwooryang raised his head and looked up at the sky.

“It was just a bolt from the blue. It was a punishment from heaven. It was a punishment from heaven for someone who tried to break up a man and woman who were both in love.”

Giwoo-ryang put his hands together toward the sky and expressed his condolences to Hongik, who had turned black from charcoal.

“Please, in your next life, don’t think about stealing someone else’s lover, and live a life where you win the heart of a single woman.”

“…I guess he deserves to be punished by heaven.”

Namgung pointed to something that had fallen next to Hongik with a stern face.

“Is that an aphrodisiac?”

* * *

“If those who are after Lady Murong in the Central Plains happen to use elixir, they need to calm their minds and build up their endurance so as not to fall for it.”

“Uh, uh. Sir…?”

“Lady Moyong.”

I opened the paper bag containing the elixir slightly.

“Originally, this is something that requires building up tolerance. How about trying to practice?”

“……That.”

Mo Yongseol looked at me with a sly look and smiled faintly.

“If I get addicted, what will happen to me…?”

“It’s okay. I’m a member of the National Assembly, so I can solve it.”

Confirm directly through the recruitment theory.

“Let’s experiment to see how wild women will become due to aphrodisiacs.”

First of all, I think I need to build up some tolerance so that the theory of recruitment doesn’t become weak.

Never, because of a desire to see the disorganized Mo Yongseol due to elixir or something like that-

‘But what.’

I am a man.

If a man just wants to see a new side of the woman he loves, how can he make excuses?
