## Chapter 428 – 428. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
428. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into the Baek Family
Dairan and I prepared to dive into the sea. We gathered necessary tools like air bags, ropes, and daggers, and then took off our clothes.
I removed my top, revealing my sculpted upper body, while Dairan only took off her hat and coat. It was quite a shame, but I couldn’t exactly tell her to take off more.
‘This could be an opportunity if I play my cards right.’
Melissa looked at me with concern.
“Tear the scroll immediately if it gets dangerous.”
“Alright, alright.”
Dairan and I, each holding a harpoon, dove into the sea.
Splash!
Once in the water, I felt a sense of comfort thanks to the [Blessing of Water] skill.
“Follow me. If you encounter any problems, signal me or just go back up to the surface.”
“I’m more worried about you, though.”
“Ha… Unlike you, I grew up with the sea since I was a child. Who’s worrying about whom?”
We dove deeper into the sea.
She descended without hesitation. I followed behind, watching her legs and firm buttocks as she swam.
In scuba diving videos, the sea looks beautiful. Colorful seaweed and fish swimming freely. It must be a beautiful sight, but my eyes couldn’t leave Dairan’s buttocks encased in leather pants.
Dairan soon reached the bottom. It was so deep that light barely penetrated, but both Dairan and I enhanced our vision using mana.
‘As Dairan said, there are many shipwrecks.’
The seabed was littered with broken shipwrecks. Dairan pointed to a large one and moved towards it. I hesitated, following behind.
Next to a large rock, a shark appeared, big enough to swallow a human whole. Instead of a fin, a vicious-looking snake was attached to its tail.
‘It’s not just a shark, it’s a monster!’
I channeled mana into my harpoon and threw it at the shark. Even though the harpoon was much faster than one fired from a harpoon gun, the shark easily dodged it.
‘Shit.’
Throwing harpoons from a distance wouldn’t work. I took out the Fire Lotus Dagger from my inventory.
Dairan looked at me. I stopped her from helping me by raising my palm.
‘I can handle this one alone.’
The shark charged.
I held my dagger sideways and met the shark. The shark quickly turned and aimed for my head.
Crackling!
Red lightning erupted from my body, startling the shark. I didn’t miss the opportunity and slashed down on the shark’s head from above. But even with its head split open, the shark didn’t die and continued to move.
‘The real head was the snake behind it!’
As a hunter, I wasn’t flustered. Monsters with more than one head often have a fake head for show. Monsters with multiple real heads were rare.
Crackling!
I unleashed lightning again, but it didn’t faze the creature.
The snake head on its tail aimed for my arm. I didn’t mind getting bitten, but it was likely poisonous, so I gave up the attack and dodged to the side.
The shark with the split head attacked me again. This time, I didn’t dodge but instead plunged my dagger into the shark’s belly.
Unlike when I hit the shark’s head, the shark thrashed wildly. I remained calm and cut off the snake’s head. The shark was finally dead. I pulled the magic stone from its heart and put it in my pouch.
‘…Two more appeared?’
Two more shark monsters were leisurely approaching from beside the rock. They must have smelled the blood.
‘They think they can take me. I’ll kill them all.’
After a short battle, I dealt with the sharks and glared around, on guard. But no other monsters appeared.
I helped Dairan enter the shipwreck. The floor was covered with skeletons and sand. Dairan opened a chest in the corner.
It wasn’t full of gold coins, but there was a decent amount. It was probably worth about 70 million Nels. It wasn’t a huge jackpot for me. There were also statues and cutlasses that were so rusted that the blades were gone.
We took everything we could carry.
‘I thought I might make billions… It’s not as much money as I thought.’
I was a little disappointed.
***
We investigated the last, 11th shipwreck. This is where the jackpot hit. There were more than three chests of gold coins and more than five antiques in good condition.
While we were loading the items onto the ship, a sea snake appeared gracefully, like a ribbon in rhythmic gymnastics.
It wasn’t as huge as the Sea Serpent Dairan had mentioned, but it was big enough to swallow three people in one gulp.
‘I’ve killed over 30 sea monsters today, but this is the first one this big.’
It was too big to call it just a big, empty shell!
I turned to look at Dairan. She was also tense at the appearance of the large sea snake. The sea snake had spotted us and was approaching. There was no time to hesitate.
‘Let’s fight.’
As I gripped the Fire Lotus Dagger, Dairan shook her head and pointed upwards. She meant we should escape. I nodded.
We swam upwards with all our might. But the sea snake didn’t seem to want to let us go, and it sped up to catch us.
‘It’s too fast. We have to fight.’
Dairan must have come to the same conclusion, as she pulled out her cutlass. Aura surged from both her and my blades.
The battle began.
The sea snake opened its mouth wide and charged at us. Hundreds of sharp teeth grew inside its mouth.
‘What kind of sea snake has teeth in its throat? If I get eaten, I’ll be ground to pieces.’
Dairan and I slapped each other’s palms and pushed off. We swung our blades at the sea snake’s body as it passed by. The blades went more than halfway into its body before being bounced back by its writhing muscles.
I understood why Dairan had wanted to escape. This thing was on a different level in terms of size for fighting in the sea.
‘It would be a fatal wound for a normal-sized creature… But because it’s so big, it’s just a scratch.’
The basic rule of hunting giant monsters is to find and target their weak points. For example, the eyes, brain, or heart.
‘I don’t know about the heart. How do I target that thing’s eyes when it moves so freely in the sea? If I get eaten, it’s game over.’
The situation wasn’t good. I had used all my fleeting moments when hunting the previous monsters. If I had known I would encounter something like this, I would have saved them.
‘If I keep stabbing it until I die, it’ll eventually die!’
Dairan and I worked together to fight the sea snake. Then, we faced a crisis. Dairan was hit by the sea snake’s huge tail and lost consciousness, beginning to sink into the sea.
‘Dairan!’
If she was unconscious, she couldn’t use mana. Dairan would drown in a few minutes.
As I tried to reach Dairan, the sea snake’s head quickly passed by my side. It was keeping me in check. It was planning to hunt me slowly and calmly.
‘Shit! I can’t lose Dairan here, no matter what! I haven’t even gotten to sleep with her yet!’
I gritted my teeth. Fighting normally would only drain my stamina and mana. The option of abandoning Dairan didn’t exist from the start.
I clenched my fist. The creature was coming to swallow me.
I gripped the Fire Lotus Dagger tightly with both hands to avoid dropping it.
‘There’s only one way.’
The hundreds of teeth in the sea snake’s mouth writhed.
It swallowed me.
‘……!!’
The pain of my whole body being torn apart assaulted me. No, my body was actually being torn apart by hundreds of teeth. My head was being crushed, and my internal organs were being pulverized.
My mind was clear, but my body must have been turned into minced meat.
[Death Resistance has been activated. You will not die for the next 15 seconds.]
I waited.
Roughly when I thought I was past its throat, I used Complete Recovery.
My pulverized body returned to normal. The stomach was as large as its body. There was still space even when I was standing.
First, I unleashed lightning.
Crackling!
The surroundings lit up, and I found the Fire Lotus Dagger and my smartphone nearby. The Fire Lotus Dagger was one thing, but the smartphone’s durability was unexpectedly outstanding. I hadn’t even thought about the smartphone.
‘I’ll kill you!’
I squeezed out all my aura and lightning and thrashed inside its body.
The sea snake’s flesh tightened and struggled. It was hard to keep my balance. I swung my dagger as I fell, and I unleashed lightning.
Crackling! Crackling! Crack!
The current flowed out. It was trying to spit me out, but I jammed my foot into its flesh to secure myself and swung my dagger.
After swinging, swinging, and swinging again, I managed to cut through its body and get out into the sea. Looking back, I saw the sea snake with its head messily cut off falling to the bottom.
It wasn’t dead yet, as the sea snake opened and closed its mouth, glaring at me.
I gave it the middle finger, grabbed Dairan’s unconscious body, and went up. I decided to leave the sea snake’s magic stone behind. She was more important than that magic stone.
“Puhah!”
I surfaced and jumped onto the deck. I immediately laid Dairan down. She wasn’t breathing.
“Captain?!”
“Master! What happened? And what happened to your clothes?!”
“Shut up! Everyone stay back!”
I quickly cut her top with my dagger. It was much faster than undoing her corset. Her constricted G-cup breasts bounced out and sagged to the side due to gravity.
They were well-shaped pink nipples. There was a -shaped mark at the tip of her nipples.
I stored Dairan’s voluptuous breasts in my memory, secured her airway, and started CPR.
‘I made sure to learn this properly in middle school. I might need to use it if I find a woman drowning later!’
Not only that, but I also learned CPR in my first year of hunter training. Because the work of a hunter was so dangerous, most hunters knew how to do CPR. But since most people died instantly, there were hardly any cases where CPR was actually used.
Thump thump!
I put my mouth to hers, blew air into her lungs, and pressed down on her chest with my clasped hands.
After repeating CPR a few times, Dairan coughed up water and started to cough. Her eyes also slowly opened. Her pupils hadn’t quite focused yet. She seemed to be in a daze.
I confirmed that she was alive, but I didn’t stop.
‘I can’t miss this opportunity!’
I pretended not to notice and continued to kiss her, blowing air into her mouth and starting chest compressions. I subtly moved the compression point a little lower. Her white breasts shook every time I pressed down.
Dairan’s face was turning redder and redder. I sensed the end and put my tongue in her mouth.
“Huuuuh…! S-stop!”
She pushed me away, regaining her senses. She jumped up, speechless at seeing me naked, then covered her chest with her arms and shouted.
“W-what are you doing?!”
“Calm down. This was a measure to save you. It’s called CPR. If you don’t believe me, look around.”
Gula and most of Dairan’s subordinates were watching.
“Y-yes, Captain. Eugene saved you.”
Starting with Gula, the female pirates nodded.
“He saved the captain who was dead.”
Then, the female pirates started chattering among themselves.
“She wasn’t breathing, so I thought the captain was dead.”
“The captain’s chest is unbelievably big.”
“But didn’t she react like a virgin? Is the captain perhaps… a virgin?”
“Nah, no way she’s a virgin, right?”
Dairan, whose face was as red as a tomato, shouted.
“Shut up! Prepare to leave this place immediately!”
She fled to the captain’s cabin as if running away.
I smacked my lips in disappointment as I watched Dairan’s retreating figure. I tasted salt.
When I stood up, the female pirates’ gazes focused on my crotch. My dick was hard and erect.
“I feel sticky from being in the sea for so long. I should take a shower.”
I took Melissa to the shower room.
Two hours later, after a pleasant shower, I went up to the deck and saw Dairan, her usual wavy red hair fluttering, directing the pirates.
“Move faster! Tell the slaves to row harder!”
I approached her. She paused for a moment, then opened her mouth.
“…I won’t forget that you saved my life, like last time. I’ll repay my life debt someday.”
“A pirate saying they’ll repay a debt. That’s new.”
“I’m different from other pirates.”
“I look forward to how you’ll repay me.”
I hope she repays me with her body.
