Chapter 23 – Chapter 5 (3)
“It should be around here!”
“Find!”
“!!”
“!!”
What made me come to my senses was the voices of the pursuers coming close.
“I know where to hide. Wake up!”
“Wait a minute?”
“I mean no harm. Trust me.”
I shouted softly and pushed Im Ha-yeon’s body through the back door of the private house I had prepared to use as an escape route.
Shit! You can hear footsteps! No time to erase the traces!
I can’t! Here we go to improvisation!
I quickly moved to the place where I was guarding and set the mood as if nothing had happened.
Tarak! Widely!
Soon after, several warriors dressed in unified costumes appeared at the place where I was.
“Hey, you there!”
“What are you doing, why are you suddenly out of nowhere? Are all thieves these days like that?”
I drew my sword with an absurd expression on my face.
“Thieves! We are the warriors of the government!”
“Well, it’s definitely not a thief’s outfit. So?”
“Is there anyone here dressed in black?”
“There was.”
“Where is it! The person we were chasing is a Demonic Cultist!”
At my answer, the expressions on the warriors’ faces changed instantly.
Demonic Cult? Then, is Lim Ha-yeon also a Demonic Cultist?
Inside, various information and speculations fly around, but on the outside, I still shrugged my shoulders while acting differently.
“Someone fell over there and got out this way.”
“This way?”
They frowned at the direction I pointed.
That would be the case, because that direction was an alley that passed right next to me.
“I was commissioned to stop thieves from entering through this back door, I was not commissioned to defend this entire road.
“Chit! That’s why things without roots…!”
“Move fast! There’s no time to waste!”
They scrambled in the direction I pointed and looked around for someone.
“There it is! Catch it!”
At that time, someone in a black outfit ran across the road, and they found it and quickly moved away ignoring me.
I waited a little longer just in case, and after confirming that the crowd had completely disappeared, I headed for the back door of the private house for the escape.
“They’re funny bastards. Even swearing that they don’t have the root for ignoring that… Ugh!?”
Instantly, as soon as I opened the door, a hand reached out from inside and grabbed me by the collar and pulled me.
What power is so strong!
When I came to my senses, Im Ha-yeon, who had grabbed me by the collar and knocked me to the ground, was in a position to pierce my nails into the tip of my neck.
“If you help the Demonic Cultists, do you think they will repay you by piercing the benefactor’s neck?”
“What are you doing?”
Unlike when I saw her before, she opened her mouth with an expression and voice that had no composure.
“What tricks are you talking about?”
“You heard from those guys that I am a member of the Demonic Cult. But why did you help me?”
“Hmm. I thought you were smart, but you’re more stupid than I thought, you.”
“What?”
If you tried to kill me, you would have already killed me.
She just wants to check her enemies and allies now.
So I have to confirm that I am her ally.
“I told you when I first met you. Becoming a man and saving her beauty…”
“There’s no reason, I’m just asking for it.”
“I remember it well. Who knows?”
“Even though I’m a Demonic Cultist?”
“So? Any problems?”
“…”
Lim Ha-yeon’s eyes were full of embarrassment at first, but she soon gave up on killing herself and withdrew the blade that was about to stab me.
“Ha. Haha… A man like you really is… Ugh…!”
Maybe she trusted my sincerity, so she reaped her hostility.
Then, as if she felt the pain in her side, her expression contorted.
“Wait. I’ll apply the medicine right away.”
“Wait a minute, this wound is not possible with an ordinary golden spear…”
“Don’t worry. I made this in case I was seriously injured.”
I made an ointment by mixing the herbs I had from traveling around Janganseong and the herbs that I collected on my way to Janganseong with Hong Seollin.
“Umm…! Küu…!”
Every time I moved my hand, a moan of pain erupted from her mouth.
I tried to apply it as gently as possible, but touching a wound this big would of course make me groan in pain.
I wrapped the waist with a clean cloth and finished the treatment and hemostasis of the wound.
“…Thank you.”
“Thank you. Isn’t it natural for a man to help a beauty?”
“But…It’s the first time I’ve been treated like this.”
What? Are you this young?
I knew which direction to attack.
This bitch has never been treated kindly as a woman!
“Is the Demonic Cult a place where only blind assholes can enter?”
I unknowingly put my true feelings out of my mouth.
“Puhuh… Ugh…! You really have fun with one word, right?”
Good. You look at me more sympathetically than before.
However, if you try to make progress here at once, it will only serve to let you know that you are a sympathizer.
A woman is a creature of emotion, so when she is in trouble, she likes to take sides without any reciprocation.
I treated you here, so let’s have sex! Let’s mate! If I said that, would you stare at me with cold eyes?
“Well, I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m resting.”
“What is this house? Your house?”
“No. Emergency exit.”
“Escape?”
I explained to Im Ha-yeon what I felt.
From reasoning about contrived rumors to killing the man who killed her wife in a marital fight and making it an emergency escape.
“…”
While listening to my explanation, she put on a serious expression for a moment.
To be precise, it’s from artificial rumors.
There must be something different from what you know, or something suspicious.
“If I disappear, they will be suspicious of this area.
“Yeah. Thanks again.”
Even in the Fengwun Murim, the Demonic Cult is a place where power is revered.
In addition, the Murim people hate the term Demonic Cult.
So, is this your first time doing something like this?
If you aim well for this advantage… Hehe.
But if it goes on like this, it’s a little bit, so should I plant a flag?
“If you’re grateful, I’d like you to repay me instead.”
“Pay?”
From Ha-yeon Lim’s eyes, I was able to get the feeling of ‘yes, that’s a bit of a sell-out.
As expected at this time, knocking it down was not the answer.
Instead, I grabbed her chin and gave her a quick kiss.
This is just perfect for causing trouble if you miss the right time.
“Hmm!?”
To prevent Im Ha-yeon from running away, he hugs her upper body and kisses her.
Hmm ~ She is a woman who knows how to decorate herself, so her mouth smells good.
I used all my skills to entangle her tongue as pleasantly as possible.
She was the one who tried to resist with her strength at first, but because of the injury to her side, she enjoyed kissing her heartily, taking advantage of the moment when her strength was weakened.
But we shouldn’t go out of our way here.
Satisfied here, I dropped my body.
“Uh…?”
She obviously knew that she would go further, and when I fell, she was clearly taken aback.
“This is the reward I want. Then rest well.”
“…”
I returned to my guard area, recalling the feel of my lips and tongue feeling refreshed.
Alright, didn’t resist my kiss.
If you really hate it, there are plenty of ways to resist.
At least it means that you like it that much with this help.
All that remains is to wait until this mission is over.
* *
“…”
Lim Ha-yeon, who had her lips stolen by Jin-cheon, slightly hardened without realizing it.
To be honest, she was a bit disillusioned with men.
Jungwon people hate her as a witch because of her own hair color and skin color, and Ma Cult people only see themselves as a tool to quench her lust.
Jin Chun said that she did not covet her body, although she could always want it.
‘When was it? I’ve never felt such a favor before.’
Before she entered the Demonic Cult, she was chased for being an ominous witch, and after entering the cult, she had never felt anyone’s favor because of the atmosphere of reverence for her power.
No matter how much her power is valued in the Demonic Cult, the power of her family exists, and there is only her talent, but no one has treated her for a favorable purpose without her family.
So now, for the first time in her life, she is experiencing someone’s free favor.
At first, when he asked him to repay him, Jincheon was disappointed that he was after all targeting her own body, just like her other men.
However, Jincheon’s appearance of kissing her but not going further than that was like unrequited favor, so Im Ha-yeon felt that her common sense that he had known so far was collapsing.
‘Ah… My head is dizzy…’
It’s not because of the wound, it’s because of Jincheon’s behavior.
Why did he help himself as a Demonic Cultist?
Why did he covet only his own lips?
What does he want from himself?
‘What’s clear is that I’m definitely not a pure-blooded Jeongpain.’
He felt that the rumors of the great sword Hwanggeumchong were contrived and used this house as an escape in case of emergency by killing the man who killed his wife in a marital fight.
If you were a political party, you could catch it and report it to the government office, but it will never be dealt with in this way.
‘And contrived rumors… A faction that prepared a surprise attack by tracking the information of the Demonic Cult in reverse… The appearance of the Heavenly Demon Sword, which suddenly disappeared in a battle 20 years ago. Something is wrong. Something… I feel like I’m controlling the political faction and the demonic cult by putting them all in the palm of my hand.’
If others hear it, they will laugh at me, saying, “What a fool.”
I don’t know if it’s one of the two, but there’s a third party playing with both the political faction and the demonic cult?
At worst, they’ll probably think you’re insane.
Hwanyo is a person who catches the right answer with his senses, he is not the kind of person who catches a small piece of information and infers it.
However, that feeling was rarely very wrong, so she followed her own feeling and intuited that the situation was unusual.
“Whoa…”
Outside, it is noisy due to a sudden commotion, but it is unreasonable for the Murim people, who are not human beings of the government department, to search private houses.
Therefore, Im Ha-yeon took a break, being careful not to see herself.
Although I have used too much of my energy,
‘After the sword, that damn bitch! Grab my ankles at every step!’
Lim Ha-yeon has never won a fight against a swordsman so far.
There were no victories, except when the political faction temporarily retreated as this side pushed through with numbers.
It wasn’t even a 1:1 match, it was only a sword fight with 1 sword, and this side retreated from the majority of battles.
‘I really don’t like it! You’re younger than me!’
That arrogant yet arrogant expression.
Those eyes that look at you insignificantly.
Even martial arts that are stronger than oneself.
I don’t like everything from one to ten.
The long sword scar on his side was also a wound created by receiving a sword strike that carried the sword steel that had been thrown right before he escaped.
This wound she inflicted was all the more painful because she carried a grudge that had only defeated her.
‘This humiliation… I will definitely pay it back!’
This promise will later come true in an unexpected way, but that is a story in the distant future.
* *
After I stood guard by the requested time and received the certificate from the merchant, I went straight to the Nangin Meeting Hall and exchanged it for a hermit x1.
The success and failure of the mission are directly recorded and managed by the Nanginhoe.
‘I have to go to Ha-yeon quickly.’
A flag was raised to become a lover with Lim Ha-yeon.
But there’s no reason to stay here with sweaty boys, right?
However, the conversation of the ronins who were forming a group made me stay in the smell of men’s bathing.
“Suddenly, something flashed in front of my eyes. I wanted something like that, but the warriors of the Jeongmumaeng found someone wearing black to find a Demonic Cult member, so I taught them.”
“Uh, you too? Me too.”
“You guys are lucky. To say you’re fine even after seeing a Demonic Cult member. But the really lucky thing is that you didn’t meet me at all.”
Some of the ronin encountered the demonic cult and informed the warriors of the Jeongmumaeng, but the absolute majority of the ronin, more than that, could not encounter the magical cult.
‘If?’
At first glance, it seems like just a coincidence.
However, even this situation seemed like a conspiracy to me, who had been suspicious from the beginning like a conspiracy theorist.
As a result of combining the information I heard from Ha-yeon, I came up with the following answer.
The faction knew about the attack of the Demonic Cult in advance and moved the sword. But if more masters or warriors move, the Demonic Cult will notice, right?
‘Now, what would I do if I were the head of the Jeongmu-maeng here? No matter how perfect the raid is, there is a chance that the Demonic Cultists will eventually escape. Then… Ah!’
Rumors of the Golden Bug!
He deliberately spread rumors about the Golden Bug and hired a ronin from a merchant or wealthy person who belonged to the Political Affairs League or had influence.
In other words, they hired ronin as guards.
Now I know the identity of the merchant’s plain expression.
‘Look at these bastards?’
What if the Demonic Cultists attacked?
Will the Jeongmu-maeng compensate the rongin who was attacked?
Of course, it will go unnoticed.
‘As expected, just because it’s a political faction doesn’t mean it’s fair.’
Even if the ronins acted as guards, they naturally spread rumors about the Golden Bug.
If the samurai were covered that much, the Demonic Cult would notice, so they used the ronin.
I don’t know who came out of the head, but I’m pretty good at it?
If Ha-yeon didn’t know the information she heard and saw, she would have gone on forever.
Confirming that there is a dangerous head in the Jeongmu-maeng, I resolved to be careful of the ruse if I became an enemy of the Jeongmu-maeng in the future, and I moved to the private house where Ha-yeon was recovering.
After all, it smells like a woman, so it just energizes me.
Besides, she is a woman who knows how to dress up, so she smells good too.
If all the members of the Demonic Cult were able to communicate well like Ha-yeon, would they turn to the Demonic Cult at all?
