## Chapter 127 – 127. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into A Baron’S Family
127. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into a Baron’s Family
Having arrived at one of the villages near the Hughes Snowy Mountains, we could see the Hughes Snowy Mountains with the naked eye as soon as we got off the carriage.
“Wow…”
Lucy exclaimed in admiration.
It was understandable. The Hughes Snowy Mountains were incredibly large. Moreover, even I, who had seen many beautiful and stimulating photos in modern times, was surprised by how beautiful the Hughes Snowy Mountains were.
The Hughes Snowy Mountains were covered in pure white snow, true to their name. The peaks were so high they seemed to touch the clouds. There were no trees. The snow on that mountain was all perpetual snow. It looked like a mountain made of snow rather than soil.
“Young Master Eugene.”
Hent approached. He was looking at the snowy mountains with a rather serious face.
“The Hughes Snowy Mountains, despite their beautiful scenery, are a very dangerous place. The monsters living on that mountain are so numerous and ferocious that even the Huitress Barony has given up managing it. Above all, the environment itself is hostile to humans. The Hughes Snowy Mountains are a place where even veteran adventurers who have made thorough preparations occasionally fail to return alive.”
“I know, Sir Hent.”
Did he think I would come here without even researching such basic information? The Hughes Snowy Mountains were described as dangerous even in the original work. There was no way I wouldn’t know the dangers of the Hughes Snowy Mountains.
“Sir Hent is worried that I will climb the Hughes Snowy Mountains, right?”
“…Yes. While it’s possible to take a walk nearby, climbing is impossible.”
“I promised my mother before coming here that I wouldn’t climb the Hughes Snowy Mountains. And I just wanted to see the Hughes Snowy Mountains with my own eyes.”
“Whew. That’s a relief. If Young Master Eugene had been stubborn, I would have been in a real bind.”
“What would you have done if I had been stubborn?”
“I probably would have reported it directly to the Countess. Hahaha.”
Hent slyly showed the magic communication device he was holding in his arms. He would have reported to Elaine through that. I gave a wry smile.
“Don’t worry. I’ll rest well in this village for three days before leaving. Have you secured lodging?”
“I’ve secured the best inn in the village.”
“Wasn’t the specialty of the Hughes Snowy Mountains rabbit meat?”
“Yes. The rabbits of the Hughes Snowy Mountains are said to be as large as 1 meter. The rabbit meat is said to be very delicious. I’ll prepare a rabbit dish for dinner.”
“Please do. I’m a bit tired from riding in the carriage for five days. I’ll rest in my room until dinner.”
“Please don’t think about anything else and rest well.”
Leaving the working servants behind, I headed to the inn that Hent had secured with Yuria. As befitting the best inn, the building itself was so outstanding that it reminded me of a noble’s mansion.
‘An inn built to cater to wealthy commoners or nobles.’
The Hughes Snowy Mountains were a famous place. There would be quite a few people who came for travel or sightseeing like me. Among adventurers, there was even a saying that the Hughes Snowy Mountains had to be seen with one’s own eyes.
I took one of the best rooms in the inn. The interior was a bit disappointing, unlike the exterior of the building. It seemed they lacked the money to decorate the interior.
However, there was one thing. The view from the window in this room was pleasing. If I opened the window, I could see the pure white Hughes Snowy Mountains right away.
‘I’ll take pictures of the Hughes Snowy Mountains as a souvenir later… for now…’
I looked at Yuria. Yuria was organizing her luggage. As if she felt my gaze, Yuria looked at me and smiled.
“Yuria.”
“Yes. I know what Master wants.”
Yuria began to lift her skirt.
My eyes widened as I saw her panties.
“What? You’re already soaking wet without me doing anything. Were you looking forward to it?”
“It’s because of Master. My body is already too… accustomed to Master.”
“If it’s because of me, I can’t help it. Shall I take responsibility?”

“Hoo…”
Kyle quietly exhaled. His breath instantly froze white and fell downwards.
He was taking a walk near the Hughes Snowy Mountains with Lucy. As he walked, crunching the snow, memories of his past life came flooding back.
‘When it snowed on the volcano, I used to clean with my fellow disciples.’
Doing chores on the volcano was the disciples’ duty. At that time, it was just annoying, but now it had become an unforgettable memory.
“Young Master?”
Lucy called out. Kyle snapped back to reality.
“I was lost in thought for a moment. What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing much. I was just wondering if we should head back soon. Sir Hent will worry if we go too far.”
“You’re right. Shall we head back soon? How do you feel about coming to the Hughes Snowy Mountains, Lucy?”
“It’s great! I think today’s events will be something I’ll be proud of for the rest of my life! The Hughes Snowy Mountains are as mysterious and beautiful as I imagined!”
“Mysterious… They say the snow here never melts. It’s truly a mysterious mountain. Maybe…”
“Yes?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Kyle thought that perhaps the Millennium Snow Ginseng might be somewhere in the Hughes Snowy Mountains. The Millennium Snow Ginseng was an old ginseng that grew in very cold places. He had heard in his past life that the Millennium Snow Ginseng was found in places with perpetual snow that never melted.
‘Even if the Millennium Snow Ginseng really exists, how would I find it in such a large mountain?’
He didn’t dare to enter the Hughes Snowy Mountains. Just being near the mountains made his body tremble with cold. With his current level, he would freeze to death if he went into the Hughes Snowy Mountains.
Kyle looked up at the Hughes Snowy Mountains. The more he looked, the more he was reminded of the volcano. And the more he was reminded of the volcano, the more frustrated he felt.
‘To establish the Mount Hua Sect in this world, I need to at least reach the level of a sect leader… I don’t know when I’ll become strong enough to reach that level.’
The Mount Hua Sect had to be strong.
It had to be strong enough not to be shaken by any external forces. To do that, he, who would become the sect leader of Mount Hua, had to reach at least the Hwagyung realm, or what was called the Aura Master realm in this world.
He, the center of the Mount Hua Sect, had to be strong for the newly established Mount Hua Sect in this world to develop.
‘There’s no need to be impatient. This world isn’t Murim. There’s no Murim Alliance or Demonic Cult.’
Instead, there were nobles and monsters, but as long as there were no other martial artists, the Mount Hua Sect would not be checked.
“Young Master! It’s snowing! It’s snowing!”
Kyle looked up at the sky at Lucy’s raised voice.
Large snowflakes were slowly falling to the ground. They created a dreamy atmosphere in harmony with the scenery of the snowy mountains.
A cold, biting wind blew. The large snowflakes swayed in the wind.
“……!”
Kyle’s eyes widened. The snowflakes looked like falling plum blossom petals in his eyes.
And the movement of those plum blossom petals began to look like swordsmanship. When the petals swayed, it was as if the sword swayed, and when the petals rotated, it was as if the sword rotated.
“…Ah.”
A small exclamation escaped Kyle’s lips.
Something. Something felt like it was within reach. To a higher place. To something new…
“Young Master!”
Kyle snapped back to reality at Lucy’s question. His mind, which had been rising somewhere, returned to normal.
‘I felt like I could have gained enlightenment if I had stayed a little longer…’
He couldn’t blame Lucy. This enlightenment had come suddenly, and Lucy was not a martial artist. She knew nothing about enlightenment.
‘It seems that enlightenment is not yet allowed for me.’
Kyle gave a wry smile.
“Lucy, what’s wrong?”
“Look over there. It’s Yuria.”
“Yuria?”
Kyle looked at where Lucy was pointing.
It was the best inn where Kyle and his group had decided to stay. It was a five-story building like a noble’s mansion, and Yuria was at the window on the fifth floor. Yuria was holding onto the window frame and looking at the snowy Hughes Snowy Mountains.
Yuria’s cheeks were flushed, and she was exhaling white breaths. Kyle thought it was because of the cold. Perhaps due to the influence of the Hughes Snowy Mountains, the village felt like the middle of winter.
Yuria’s body swayed. As a result, the breaths coming from her mouth increased.
‘Does Yuria have a fear of heights?’
Kyle tilted his head and followed Lucy towards the inn.
Lucy waved her hand at Yuria.
“Yuria! Yuria!”
Yuria, who had been staring blankly at the Hughes Snowy Mountains, lowered her gaze. Her flushed face gave off a strange, alluring atmosphere.
“Lucy… and Young Master Kyle. Were you taking a walk?”
Yuria’s voice was slightly trembling.
“Yes! We’re on our way back now. What were you doing, Yuria?”
“I was organizing my luggage until just now. Now I’m resting and looking at the Hughes Snowy Mountains. Haa…”
Twitch. Yuria’s body moved greatly once.
“Your face is red. Are you not feeling well?”
“…Yes. I think it’s because of the change in the weather, huff… I’m not feeling well.”
Kyle spoke to Yuria with a worried face.
“Yuria, it looks like you’ve caught a cold. It would be best for you to rest today. What is Eugene doing?”
“Young Master Eugene is… resting in bed. Ugh…”
It was then.
Eugene appeared behind Yuria. Perhaps because of the cold weather, Eugene, who was wearing a thick coat, coughed with a flushed face, just like Yuria.
“Cough. Cough! Did you call me?”
“Eugene! You don’t look well. Go back to bed now.”
“I was fine until I came here… It seems like both Yuria and I have caught a cold. I think I should rest today. I’m sorry, but you guys will have to eat dinner without me.”
“Don’t be sorry. You should rest when you’re not feeling well.”
Thud!
“Haaah!”
“Yuria?!”
Kyle was startled by Yuria’s sudden cry. It was a voice that was both like a scream and alluring. Kyle never imagined she would make such a sound.
“Sorry, Yuria. I twisted my leg while moving. Does it hurt a lot?”
“Ah, no. I’m, I’m fine.”
“It’s cold, so let’s close the window. Be careful not to catch a cold, you two.”
The window closed. Eugene and Yuria seemed to be trying to rest. Kyle and Lucy looked at the window with concern.
“Young Master Eugene and Yuria… They came all the way to the Hughes Snowy Mountains for a trip… Will they be okay?”
“They’ll be fine. It seems like a mild cold. It’s best to leave them to rest today.”
***
Before dinner.
Kyle knocked on Eugene’s door with his fist.
Knock knock knock.
Swoosh. Swish. The sound of fabric moving could be heard from inside the door.
“Come in.”
Kyle opened the door and went inside. He felt warm air. A fireplace on one side of the wall was warming the room.
Kyle saw Eugene, who had only raised his upper body from the bed. Perhaps because of the cold, the blanket was unusually thick. On the other hand, Eugene was only wearing a shirt.
“I was worried before dinner, so I came to check on you. How are you feeling?”
“I’m not bad. I think I’ll be better by tomorrow. I think my body just couldn’t adapt to the sudden cold and the fatigue of the trip.”
“Really? That’s a relief. Why are you wearing such light clothes?”
“The blanket is thick. If my clothes are heavy, I can’t sleep because it’s too hot. And I sleep better when I wear as little as possible. It’s warm because there’s a fireplace.”
“Yeah. You’re right. But you’ve caught a cold, so you should dress warmly. What are you going to do about dinner?”
“I’ll just eat here… Can you ask the servants to do it for me?”
“Okay. But what about Yuria? Weren’t you together?”
Kyle looked around the room. There was no one in the large room except for Eugene.
“Yuria is my exclusive maid, but she’s not always with me. Yuria has things to do too. I don’t know where she went… Maybe she’s resting in the next room since she doesn’t feel well either?”
“I guess so. But… what are those white stockings?”
Kyle pointed to the white stockings hanging on the end of the bed. As far as Kyle knew, Eugene didn’t wear stockings, let alone the tights that nobles commonly wore.
“…Ah. When I opened the window earlier, snow came in and my stockings got wet. Yuria took them off and said she would wash them, but it seems she accidentally left them behind.”
“Yuria made a mistake?”
“She’s not feeling well because she has a cold. Kyle, are you interested in stockings? Do you want them?”
Kyle was flustered. He blushed slightly and waved his hand.
“What do you mean, take them? I’m going now. Rest well.”
Kyle closed the door and left. Eugene felt his presence fading away and lifted the thick blanket he had been covering himself with.
There, a naked maid was sucking on Eugene’s manhood.
“I thought I was going to get caught.”
Eugene chuckled.
