Chapter 1225 – 1225. The Ascent Of Gwangmyeong
After spending a heated time at the inn, Seomun Sorye and I went down to the first-floor restaurant for dinner. It was dark outside, and the restaurant was packed with customers.
As soon as Seomun Sorye and I came down to the first floor, we immediately drew attention. Most of the gazes were from men, so I was sure it was because of Seomun Sorye.
Well, I understand. Seomun Sorye’s appearance right now is more seductive than that of a top-tier courtesan. She’s wearing less revealing clothes than the courtesans, but her flushed face and traces of sweat exude a sensual atmosphere. Anyone could tell she looked like she had just had sex.
We sat at a reasonably empty table. Seomun Sorye sat next to me instead of across from me. Her hand caressed my groin under the table.
“Let’s eat quickly and go back up. We have to… continue what we were doing, right?”
“I’ve been thrusting non-stop… wasn’t that enough?”
“Why are you suddenly acting so prim? Compared to usual, it’s far from enough. For both you and me.”
“……”
She was right, so I had nothing to say.
Her hand, which had been caressing my groin, stopped only when the waiter came.
“I don’t really like fish,” Seomun Sorye said.
“I’m tired of eating mostly fish in this city too. Bring us pork and beef dishes.”
“Um… Young Master, there are many kinds of pork and beef.”
“Bring them all.”
“If you combine them all, it’ll be more than ten servings…”
“You talk too much. Just bring them. Isn’t that your job?”
“…Yes! Order received.”
I intimidated him a little, and the waiter quickly flew to the kitchen. Seomun Sorye chuckled, watching his retreating figure.
“Did you have to treat him like that?”
“If you’re too kind, they’ll get out of line.”
“You’re not talking about me, are you?”
“I’d welcome you getting out of line with me. I was just on top of you, so… I’d like you to be on top of me this time.”
“Hehe. Okay. Look forward to it. I’ll suck you dry.”
Seeing Seomun Sorye’s sensual smile, I regretted ordering so much food. It wasn’t about the money. It was about the time. If I had ordered just one or two dishes, the food would have come out quickly.
Just as I was about to move my restless hand to caress Seomun Sorye’s buttocks, someone approached our table. It wasn’t the waiter.
It was a middle-aged man with a small build and a goatee. He greeted us with a cupped fist.
“Nice to meet you, Young Master Yeom Gu-seok of the Lightning Blade. I am Bu Yeo-tae, a merchant who trades with the Heavenly Demon Sect. I am currently heading west under the escort of Miss Seomun.”
I scanned Bu Yeo-tae. He wasn’t a martial artist. He was an ordinary person who hadn’t even learned the basics of martial arts. However, the sharp aura he possessed was reminiscent of a martial artist who had been through many battles. It was just like in the original story.
Normally, I would have told him to get lost with an intimidating aura. I wasn’t in a good mood because it felt like my time with Seomun Sorye had been interrupted. However, the other party was Seomun Sorye’s escort target. Since this matter could affect Seomun Sorye, there was no need to pick a fight with Bu Yeo-tae.
I stood up and greeted him with a cupped fist.
“Greetings, Sir. I am Yeom Gu-seok. The moniker ‘Lightning Blade’ is something I got after coming here, so I’m not quite used to it yet.”
“Haha. Most people feel that way when they first receive a moniker. You’ll soon get used to it, Young Master Yeom. May I join you at your table?”
“I don’t mind.”
I turned my head to look at Seomun Sorye. Seomun Sorye nodded with a smile.
“Of course, you can, Sir Bu. Please sit down. As it happens, this guy ordered a ton of beef and pork dishes, so we were having trouble.”
“You two seem quite close. Is it the kind of relationship I’m thinking of?”
Seomun Sorye glanced at me and then waved her hand.
“No. We’re not that kind of relationship. But we are close. He and I are from the same class at the Training Hall. He’s helped me in many ways.”
“Oh, I see. It seems I misunderstood. I apologize.”
“No, it’s okay.”
“Miss Seomun, would you mind putting up a barrier around us?”
“It seems Sir Bu has something to say. Okay.”
Seomun Sorye readily agreed. She bit her lip slightly and concentrated. Internal energy surged from her dantian and emanated around us. The energy formed a barrier. Its purpose wasn’t defense but to prevent our conversation from leaking out.
“It’s done.”
“Thank you, Miss Seomun. Young Master Yeom, as you may have already guessed, I am a black market merchant.”
“Hmm. I know. The sect wouldn’t assign us as escorts to a normal merchant.”
The martial artists of the Training Hall were all elites. They wouldn’t waste such high-level personnel on escorting a mere ordinary merchant.
“I spent the day going around the city gathering information. It’s a kind of habit. The value of goods can go up or down depending on the information, so I always try to keep my ears open.”
“You’re saying you heard information about me.”
“Yes. It seems you’ve entered an irreversible relationship with the Seon Family.”
It wasn’t particularly unpleasant. The rumor that my relationship with the Seon Family was ruined was already widespread in the city.
“I don’t understand why you’re telling me this, Sir Bu.”
“Ah, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not trying to threaten you or give you presumptuous advice. I’m a merchant. Even though I’m a black market merchant, I still chase after money.”
“Are you saying you want to sell me something?”
“Yes. I would like to introduce my merchandise. Young Master Yeom, black market merchants sell illegal goods. Drugs, humans, deadly poisons, martial arts… and weapons prohibited by law. I am a weapons merchant.”
I felt a spark in my mind.
“I assume you’re not selling ordinary things like swords or spears.”
“Haha. You can easily find those things anywhere. There are black market merchants who sell famous swords or cursed swords, but unfortunately, I am not one of them. I sell more special weapons.”
“What kind of weapons?”
“Thunderclap Bombs.”
Thunderclap Bombs. In other words, bombs. They were martial arts-style bombs packed with as much gunpowder as possible. Their power was incomparably stronger than grenades. They could easily blow up an entire inn. Even martial artists who had reached the realm of transcendence wouldn’t survive a direct hit from a Thunderclap Bomb.
“…You sell dangerous things.”
“Yes. They are very dangerous. The regulations on Thunderclap Bombs are strict in every city. Just possessing them is punishable by death. But that’s why Thunderclap Bombs are reliable weapons. Young Master Yeom… you seem to have a very interested expression on your face.”
In the current situation, I couldn’t use modern weapons. I was currently on a mission for the Training Hall. The Heavenly Demon Sect had their eyes on me. If I actively used modern weapons here, the Heavenly Demon Sect would definitely ask about their origin.
That alone would be a headache, but if the transmigrator Cheon Yu-un found out that I had used modern weapons, things wouldn’t end with just being annoying.
However, if I bought Thunderclap Bombs from Bu Yeo-tae and used them, things would be different. Thunderclap Bombs were bombs that existed in this world, and their origin was clearly Bu Yeo-tae.
The problem was the source of the money. I could just lie about it. I could say that I met bandits on the way to Hagashi and stole their money. What’s important to the Heavenly Demon Sect wouldn’t be my assets, so they wouldn’t investigate the funds in detail.
“Sir Bu, how many Thunderclap Bombs do you have?”
“I currently have a total of 42 Thunderclap Bombs. I’m selling them for 5 gold taels each, according to the current market price.”
“That’s expensive.”
“That’s because they’re Thunderclap Bombs. They’re hard to obtain, and just possessing them is punishable by death.”
“I’ll buy them. But can I pay with goods instead of money?”
“Goods, you say. Of course, that’s possible. What kind of goods?”
“Medicinal herbs. Not ordinary ones, but spirit herbs that contain spiritual energy.”
“That’s good. Unlike Thunderclap Bombs, spirit herbs are easy to sell, and many people want them. However, I hope the spirit herbs are worth as much as the Thunderclap Bombs.”
“I’ll show you the goods after we finish eating. You won’t be disappointed. I obtained them through a connection before entering the Training Hall. These spirit herbs that are useless to me are finally being put to good use.”
Soon, the waiter brought the food.
Seomun Sorye released the barrier. We continued our meal, talking about other topics.
And after dinner, we conducted the transaction in Bu Yeo-tae’s room.
“Oh. These are good. Yes. All of them are of excellent quality.”
“Can I buy all the Thunderclap Bombs?”
“Haha. This is enough. Yes. More than enough.”
Bu Yeo-tae’s mouth stretched from ear to ear.
I handed him the spirit herbs without any regrets.
I had the Heavenly Star System. The attendance event was still ongoing. Every week, I received spirit herbs as an attendance reward. If I was lucky, I would get even more spirit pills.
“Haha. It was a pleasant transaction. Young Master Yeom, if you need more Thunderclap Bombs, please contact me. You can find me at the Yeodu Trading Company of the Heavenly Demon Sect.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
After finishing the transaction, I returned to my room with Seomun Sorye.
As soon as Seomun Sorye entered the room, she immediately took off her clothes. Her body was still flushed with the heat of sex. Her beautifully rounded C-cup breasts had erect, pink nipples, and her pussy was dripping with clear fluids, soaking her hair and flowing down her thighs.
“I didn’t know you had so many spirit herbs. I guess that’s how you gave me the Jiseong Pill and the Magic Pill.”
“You’re a woman worth more than those pills.”
“It’s nice to hear, even if it’s just empty words.”
“It’s not empty words.”
She approached me and raised her right leg. As a martial artist who had reached the realm of transcendence, her flexibility was incredible. She was perfectly balanced even with her leg split straight. And her exposed pink pussy was throbbing, dripping fluids.
“That transaction was a loss for you. You didn’t even negotiate? Did you see Bu Yeo-tae’s mouth splitting? He must think you’re a pushover.”
“Let him think that. That kind of transaction isn’t important to me. I just wanted to fuck your pussy as soon as possible.”
I approached her. I rubbed my glans against her throbbing pussy. Her pussy twitched with pleasure. A breath of anticipation escaped Seomun Sorye’s lips.
“Haa, haah… hurry and stick your cock in.”
“Where?”
“In your personal pussy!”
She thrust her hips forward. I pushed my cock in at once, pounding her womb. Seomun Sorye’s face instantly relaxed, and a pleasant moan escaped her lips.
“Haaahhh!”
I didn’t stop thrusting until dawn when she left.
