Chapter 1214 – 1214. The Ascent To Radiance
Cheon Yu-un, who had fainted, finally opened his eyes late in the evening.
He grabbed his temples and sat up on the bed. His complexion was not good, as if he was still suffering from aftereffects.
“…This is the lodging.”
Cheon Yu-un looked around and said. Around him were me, Je Gal Mo-soon, Yeon Ye-ha, and Seo Mun So-ryeo. The entire First Squad was waiting for him to wake up.
“You’re awake. That’s a relief. Is there anything that feels uncomfortable?”
Je Gal Mo-soon asked him. Cheon Yu-un slowly took a breath and answered.
“I have a slight headache. It’s not serious. …Can you tell me why I’m here?”
“Number 123 brought you to the lodging.”
Cheon Yu-un’s gaze turned to me, who was standing against the wall with my arms crossed.
“You didn’t come even when it was time for the plan, so I went looking for you. I happened to find a trace, and following it, I found you collapsed on a mountain path.”
“…A mountain path? I was collapsed on a mountain path?”
“Yes.”
“Was it really a mountain path?”
“Are you saying you don’t believe me?”
“It’s not that, it’s just that I don’t understand. I was in a cave in Mount Baek. That’s where I fainted.”
“I don’t know about a cave, but I did hear a sound of something collapsing.”
Cheon Yu-un was lost in thought. The corners of his mouth twisted. But it was only for a moment. Regaining his composure, he bowed his head to me.
“Thank you for helping me. I won’t forget this debt.”
“Repay it someday.”
“Of course. But wasn’t there something around me when I collapsed?”
What Cheon Yu-un was looking for was the White Yang Flower. It was already inside the Ascent to Radiance, being enhanced.
“There was.”
“…There was? Where is it?”
I gestured to Je Gal Mo-soon.
“I am investigating that black heart.”
“…A black heart?”
Cheon Yu-un’s eyes widened. I calmly said to him.
“It was lying near you. It was unusual, so I took it.”
“This is it. I’ve sealed it with a talisman just in case… but it probably won’t mean anything.”
Je Gal Mo-soon took out a black heart covered with talismans from a drawer and showed it.
“…It’s literally a black heart. What the hell is this? Is it a human heart?”
“Judging by the shape, it’s a human heart. There’s a trace of it being pierced by a short, wide blade. I think it’s a material for sorcery. Similar materials are used when creating Jiangshi.”
“…I see. Can you track down who made this and where?”
“Sorcery that uses the human body is usually called evil sorcery.”
“So, it’s from the evil sects.”
“Yes. And it’s a bit awkward to say this, but the attacker might be a member of the Divine Church.”
“……”
Cheon Yu-un closed his mouth and fell into thought. He was probably speculating about the identity of the attacker. I wouldn’t be on his list of suspects. Cheon Yu-un thought I was weaker than him.
“Number 88. Aren’t you curious about the plan?”
At Je Gal Mo-soon’s words, Cheon Yu-un snapped out of his thoughts.
“I was too lost in thought. How did the plan go? Did it fail?”
“It was a success. As you suggested, casting a spell on the wooden effigy and placing it in the designated location was effective. It was a very appropriate location. The Heavenly Demon Church, the Heavenly Alliance, and the Baek San Gold Clan all discovered the wooden effigy at the same time.”
“It’s a relief that the plan went as expected. The Baek San Gold Clan must have been the first to act, right?”
“Yes. The spell we cast on the fake wooden effigy prevented them from determining its authenticity. With the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Church and the Heavenly Alliance nearby, the impatient Baek San Gold Clan moved to seize the wooden effigy.”
“So, a battle broke out as planned. Who was the victor?”
“Of course, it was our Divine Church. From the beginning, the Heavenly Alliance was the weakest force here in Baek San Fortress. We had to be wary of the Baek San Gold Clan, but fortunately, the Baek San Gold Clan took the initiative, and the Heavenly Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Church ended up fighting them at the same time.”
“Our Ipmaso is currently dispatched to the Baek San branch of the Heavenly Demon Church, so it’s natural that we won.”
“Yes. The Ipmaso leader and Number 567’s performance was outstanding. If Number 567 hadn’t been so active, the plan might have failed.”
“…That’s a relief. I’m ashamed. Because I fainted…”
“It’s alright. Things worked out well. What we need to do now is not dwell on mistakes, but finish the plan.”
At this point, we are the only ones who know about this plan. We devised and executed this plan to get a good score on the second test of the Ipmaso.
To say it was just for a score would be an understatement. Our lives depended on our scores in the Ipmaso.
“I will report to the Ipmaso leader myself.”
“Do you think he will believe you easily?”
“I’ve already thrown a bone to the Ipmaso leader. He’ll believe it. There’s nothing for us to do for the time being, so we can rest.”
“That’s good to hear. The plan was a success, and Number 88 seems fine, so let’s disband here.”
There were no objections.
Everyone exchanged casual greetings and went outside. I naturally headed to the Doyang Gate. Before leaving, I glanced at Cheon Yu-un’s face. His face, as hard as a rock, looked full of worries.
•••
I entered Yeon Ye-ha’s room around midnight.
The door was not locked. She was sitting quietly on the bed. She had predicted that I would come.
She turned her gaze to me. I was wearing a mask.
“You didn’t use the technique that makes your body transparent today.”
“There’s a slight problem with the technique.”
I approached her. I covered her eyes with the blindfold I was holding and sealed her inner energy by pressing her acupoints, as always.
I considered tying her hands but decided against it. What I was going to do today was not rape.
“Ten questions, one truth.”
“……I think that’s too many questions. Let’s make it five questions.”
“Fine, if you don’t want to.”
I took out a black string from my pocket. It was a string to tie Yeon Ye-ha’s hands.
“…Okay. Let’s do ten questions.”
I approached Yeon Ye-ha. I threw off my stifling mask and all my clothes. My erect penis was more excited than usual. It was because of the battle that had happened today.
I slowly took off her clothes. Swish, swish. In the quiet room, only the sound of fabric and skin brushing against each other could be heard. I untied the bandages that were compressing her breasts and took off her panties. The mound of her vagina, which she managed every day, was smooth.
“What’s the first question?”
I asked her. My voice was my own. She would think it was Yeom Gu-seok’s voice.
“Were you there during the battle today?”
“What battle?”
“The Baek San War that happened today. The warriors of the Heavenly Demon Church, the Heavenly Alliance, and the Baek San Gold Clan fought. The citizens of Baek San Fortress called it the Baek San War.”
“……”
I was silent.
I desperately thought about the intention behind Yeon Ye-ha’s question. I guessed that there were about seven suspects in her mind. Among those seven, the only ones who did not participate in the Baek San War today were me and Cheon Yu-un.
‘I can guess what questions she’ll ask. They’ll be questions aimed at me and Cheon Yu-un. If so… it might be better to tell the truth in the first question.’
After much deliberation, I decided to tell the truth.
“No. I wasn’t there during the Baek San War.”
I didn’t know if Yeon Ye-ha would believe this answer or not.
‘I’ll change my target and frame Cheon Yu-un as the culprit. Yeon Ye-ha probably suspects that Cheon Yu-un is hiding his strength… in many ways, the situation fits.’
Yeon Ye-ha also knew Cheon Yu-un’s identity. She couldn’t treat Cheon Yu-un carelessly, just like she couldn’t treat Je Gal Mo-soon carelessly before.
“…What do you need me to cooperate with? Should I spread my legs? Or should I lie down on the bed?”
“I’m curious what you want. Do you want to suck my dick? Or do you want to be fucked like a dog?”
“……I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it.”
“A week ago, you cried like a pig, and a month ago, you barked like a dog.”
“I did.”
“Shall we try crying like a cat today?”
“Meow. Meow.”
“……”
Yeon Ye-ha imitated a cat’s voice. There was no change in her expression. Actually, I had expected her lack of reaction. She was the same when she imitated a pig’s voice while lying on the floor last time.
“That’s boring. Forget the cat.”
“……”
When I closed my mouth, she also closed her mouth.
It was a slightly uncomfortable silence for me. I reached out and grabbed her large breasts from below. Even though her face was expressionless, her body was in a well-trained state. When I massaged her breasts a little, her nipples stood up.
“Today… yes. That would be good.”
“……”
I picked up the still expressionless Yeon Ye-ha and placed her on my thighs. We were facing each other. Of course, she couldn’t see me because she was wearing a blindfold.
I hugged Yeon Ye-ha tightly. Her breasts pressed against my upper body, and my penis pressed against her lower abdomen. I grabbed her smooth back and firm buttocks with my hands.
“Think of me as your lover.”
“…Lover?”
“Didn’t you say you would cooperate? Surely you’re not saying you can imitate a dog and a pig but not a lover?”
“…Okay. I’ll think of you as my lover.”
I placed my palm on Yeon Ye-ha’s vagina. There was no foreplay, so it was dry and not wet.
“Is that all?”
“As you wish, I’m thinking of you as my lover right now.”
“Really? Since I’m your lover, you must love me, right? Say you love me.”
“……”
Unlike usual, Yeon Ye-ha’s pink lips hesitated for about three seconds before opening.
“I love you.”
Her vagina twitched. I could feel it clearly because I had my hand on it. I laughed silently.
“That’s good to hear. Keep saying it. Oh, when we’re lovers, call me Gaga.”
“…I love you, Gaga.”
“Wrap your arms around my neck… and make your voice softer. With affection.”
Her soft arms wrapped around my neck. Her body temperature and soft skin felt very good.
“You’re making unreasonable demands. How can I put affection in my voice when I don’t have any affection for you?”
“Pretend to have affection. You can at least act, can’t you?”
“……”
She quietly sighed.
And then, in a voice that was softer than before, she said,
“I love you, Gaga.”
Her pleasant voice and quite convincing emotional acting made my penis throb. I stroked her back with one hand.
“Keep saying it.”
“…I love you. I love you, Gaga.”
She whispered the same words like a parrot. But the more I heard it, the more excited I became. I took my hand off her vagina. My palm was wet with her fluids. Unlike her expressionless face, she was sexually aroused while whispering love to me.
I adjusted my position. I lifted Yeon Ye-ha slightly and aimed my erect penis at her vagina.
Squish. Her vagina, which was used to my penis, easily accepted it. Her tamed vagina was as comfortable as my own home.
“…Hnn….”
“Don’t stop, keep saying it.”
“…How long do I have to keep saying these meaningless words?”
“That’s an obvious question. Until I’m satisfied.”
“…I love you, Gaga.”
“I love you too, Ye-ha.”
Yeon Ye-ha’s vagina squeezed tightly.
