Chapter 127 – Sohyeop, Are You Okay? (2)
“Sohyeop…ugh…”
As my mind was tangled up in complicated thoughts, I saw Mong-ah wrap her arms around her shoulders instead of opening her mouth.
Yes, there’s no use being trapped in these thoughts. I need to move on.
“The situation, the Geumchang medicine…”
“Is in, in my luggage…”
Fortunately, it seemed like she wasn’t seriously injured. I rummaged through Mong-ah’s luggage and took out the Geumchang medicine.
When Mong-ah slightly lifted her clothes, revealing her shoulder stained with blood, I took out a clean cloth and wiped away the blood. I checked the surrounding area for any bleeding and applied the Geumchang medicine before wrapping it with the cloth.
“Thank you…”
“No need to thank me. I’m the one who should be grateful for your help in this situation. I feel ashamed for not being able to do more.”
If Mong-ah hadn’t saved me, I might have suffered a much more serious injury.
I turned my gaze away from Mong-ah as she put her clothes back on and quickly repacked her luggage in reverse order.
Only then did I think about waking up the guys I had knocked out.
First, I stimulated the acupoints of the most knowledgeable Jeoljeonggoso and then pushed Jin-gi through his veins to cause pain.
The Jeoljeonggoso, who had been unconscious, soon opened his eyes and glared at me with a hateful look.
“You…you bastard…! Ugh…”
“Your mouth is quite foul.”
I mercilessly stomped on his neck. It must have hurt a lot since it was the same spot Mong-ah hit earlier.
“All of your friends have fled. You’re the ones causing trouble for the Saetae-nim by spreading rumors, right?”
“What…?”
The Jeoljeonggoso opened his eyes wide. Then he quickly changed his expression when he saw my face.
“Don’t jump to conclusions!”
Whether or not I was jumping to conclusions, I knew.
In places where there were quite a few people, only the inexperienced thugs who had heard of Kadera attacked, but attacking properly in places where there were no people was suspicious in itself.
It wasn’t just this time. These guys attacked only in places where there were no people in Sachon as well.
There was enough suspicion to suspect that the guys pulling the cart from behind were the culprits.
[Sohyeop…]
[Do you have anything to say to this person regarding the situation? Or anything to add?]
Mong-ah glanced at me for a moment before slightly nodding her head.
[Do as you please.]
[Understood.]
“Those guys over there didn’t give a satisfactory explanation other than their goal being to cause chaos in the martial arts world. That’s why I woke you up.”
“…I guess you were right to jump to conclusions.”

“Ah, did we get caught?”
Jeoljeonggoso wiped away any trace of panic from his expression and showed his determination not to answer anything no matter what.
As I was thinking about how to interrogate him, the sky didn’t seem right.
The sky was heavy, as if something was about to pour down at any moment.
“The situation, the weather doesn’t seem right. Let’s go down first.”
“Understood.”
Mong-ah seemed to have understood that too, immediately getting up and preparing to move.
I lifted Mong-ah’s luggage and saw something fall on top of my eyes.
“Oh, did I drop this while opening it in a hurry?”
Wooden beads were tied on a string. It seemed like Mong-ah was keeping the wooden beads she used for her Taanji-gong.
Shiiiiing
Now the wind was getting stronger, and snow started to fall from the sky.
“I, hey! Where are you going?”
“We have to go down. If we stay here like this, we might really freeze to death.”
“I also…”
I flicked my finger and sent a gust of wind. Jeoljeonggoso, who was probably going to say to take him along, fell asleep with his acupoints stimulated.
Gonyunsan will take care of the rest.
With Mong-ah, whose shoulder was injured and couldn’t move well, I started to descend Gonyunsan.
But I couldn’t go down as fast as I thought. Mong-ah’s movements were not smooth due to her shoulder injury, and I was not used to running in the snow-covered mountains.
It didn’t seem like it would get dark early because of the weather.
“Sohyeop, we might have to spend the night in the mountains.”
“Understood. Then we should check if there’s a place to avoid the snowstorm while going down.”
The view, which was getting whiter and whiter, made it difficult to see the surroundings.
But after desperately searching, I could barely find a building.
“Is it a shrine…”
It was a shrine dedicated to the popular deity in the civilian population, Guan Yu. His tomb was enshrined in a narrow space of about one room.
“I’ll stay here for a day and then leave…”
As I entered cautiously, I bowed my head towards the tomb and unpacked my luggage.
Usually, shrines also have a fireplace, considering the possibility of travelers staying overnight, but there was no fireplace here.
Perhaps they didn’t expect anyone to come up to Gonyunsan and stay at the shrine.
Since there was nothing to burn around, and if I burned something wrong, it could cause a fire, I took out a rag and handed it to Mong-ah before wiping away the sweat on my body.

Since there was nothing to burn around, and if I burned something wrong, it could cause a fire, I took out a rag and handed it to Mong-ah before wiping away the sweat on my body.
Mong-ah also turned her body towards me and wiped away the sweat from her body.
After making sure that the sweat was gone and that we wouldn’t lose any body heat, we put our clothes back on and sat on the ground.
“There’s a wall, so we can endure it a little.”
The wooden wall was letting in the wind through the cracks, but if I pulled my energy a little, I could endure it.
But the problem was that I had used up a considerable amount of my energy during the battle.
“Those bastards.”
The masked men were either put to sleep or knocked out during the fight, so they would have already frozen to death due to the cold.
If they hadn’t just attacked us, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
I tried to recover my energy with the Unkihaenggong, but for some reason, only the Hyuneumjigi gathered around me, and there were almost no Cheonyangjigi that I needed.
Since there was a shortage of energy around me, the energy I could absorb was also limited.
“Those bastards.”
Moreover, unlike when I was busy moving around, I was now focusing solely on preserving body heat, and the guys I killed started to come to mind again.
They were definitely the ones who attacked first. If I didn’t stand up to them, I would have been in danger, and they were the kind of people who would come back anytime if I didn’t kill them.
But my hands kept trembling. I wanted to think it was because of the cold, but fortunately or unfortunately, my energy was not as strong as it should be, just enough to make me shiver from the cold.
“Those bastards.”
Continuously, in my head, the guy whose body was burned to a crisp by my energy, the guy whose neck was snapped by my hand, the guy who begged me to take him with me as he was dying, the voice of the Jeoljeonggoso who was desperately calling me to take him with me, all came to mind.
“Why…”
Thunk
“Situation…?”
As the facesof the men I killed kept flashing in my mind, Mong-ah’s voice interrupted my thoughts.
“Ah, no, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about something.”
I tried to brush it off, but Mong-ah seemed to have noticed something.
“Are you okay, Sohyeop?”
“I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.”
I tried to smile, but my lips were trembling.
Mong-ah seemed to understand that I didn’t want to talk about it anymore, so she didn’t say anything and just sat next to me.
The wind was still blowing, and the snow was still falling, but we were huddled together, trying to preserve our body heat.
As time passed, I started to feel a little warmer, but my mind was still in turmoil.
“Why did I have to kill them?”
I knew that they were the ones who attacked first, but I couldn’t help but feel guilty for taking their lives.
But at the same time, I knew that if I didn’t do it, I would have been in danger.
I couldn’t help but feel conflicted.
As I was lost in my thoughts, Mong-ah suddenly spoke up.
“Sohyeop, can I ask you something?”
“Sure, what is it?”
“Are you a virgin?”
I was taken aback by her sudden question.
“What? Why are you asking me that?”
“I don’t know, I was just curious.”
I could see the mischievous glint in her eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel a little aroused.
But at the same time, I felt a little embarrassed.
“I, uh, I don’t think that’s something I should be talking about.”
Mong-ah just giggled and leaned her head on my shoulder.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”
We sat there in silence for a while, just enjoying each other’s company.
But as the night wore on, the wind and snow only seemed to get stronger.
“Sohyeop, are you okay?”
Mong-ah’s voice brought me back to reality.
“I’m fine, why do you ask?”
“I don’t know, you just seem a little…different.”
I tried to smile, but I knew that she could see through me.
“I’m just a little tired, that’s all.”
But Mong-ah didn’t seem convinced.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
I looked at her, and for a moment, I was lost in her eyes.
But then I shook my head.
“No, it’s okay. I’ll be fine.”
We sat there in silence again, but this time, I couldn’t help but feel a little aroused.
Maybe it was the cold, or maybe it was just the tension between us, but I couldn’t help but feel a little horny.
I looked at Mong-ah, and I could see that she was feeling the same way.
Without saying anything, we leaned in and started kissing.
Our lips met, and I could feel the warmth of her breath on my face.
I started to kiss her more passionately, and she responded in kind.
Our tongues intertwined, and I could feel her hands on my chest.
I started to unbutton her shirt, and she didn’t resist.
As I started to kiss her neck, I could feel her body shiver with pleasure.
I started to kiss her breasts, and she moaned softly.
I could feel myself getting harder, and I knew that she could feel it too.
Without saying anything, she started to stroke my cock through my pants.
I moaned softly, and she smiled.
We continued to kiss and touch each other, lost in our own little world.
As the night wore on, the wind and snow only seemed to get stronger, but we didn’t care.
All that mattered was each other.
The two of them talked slowly.
They talked about their journey with Jegal Mireyeong and what happened at Guryongjaengpae…
But suddenly, Mong-ah felt like her partner was avoiding the topic of her husband.
She didn’t really want to bring it up either, but now that she thought about it, memories of her husband started to flood her mind.
“Yumae, everyone is connected in life. If you help others, it will definitely come back to you as a reward.”
Come to think of it, her husband was like that too. He would stubbornly interfere in other people’s business.
He definitely expressed his gratitude to his colleagues, and the reward did come back.
But one day, what if he lost his life because he interfered in someone else’s business?
Thinking about it, she became anxious about this man’s future.
“I should send him back.”
Her first impression of him wasn’t very good. From Mong-ah’s perspective, the way he looked at her body was uncomfortable.
But that seemed to be Mong-ah’s misunderstanding. When she looked at him again, his eyes were more curious than anything.
Especially when she saw him intimately involved with a gisaeng…
“I shouldn’t think about that.”
Mong-ah wasn’t completely innocent in that matter either.
After overhearing the sounds of intercourse, she touched herself and reached climax.
Moreover, the “thing” inside her bag right now…
Buzz.
Ignoring the man’s gaze, Mong-ah shook her head to clear her thoughts and readjusted her evaluation of him.
In terms of not being able to turn away from someone in trouble, he was like a skilled assassin who knew what cooperation was.
Although his behavior was a bit disappointing, she didn’t want this young man to meet the same fate as her husband.
“Are you cold?”
As Mong-ah was organizing her thoughts about the man, she was brought back to reality by a voice she suddenly heard.
Although her mind was deeply absorbed in thought while they talked, the coldness was still there.
At first, just holding hands felt warm, but the two of them gradually felt their body temperature dropping.
“Are you okay?”
Mong-ah couldn’t control her trembling voice and was flustered.
“I, I’m not exactly okay either. So, what I mean is…”
Mong-ah was annoyed when she heard the man’s words.
This man was definitely a troublemaker.
Mong-ah felt guilty for thinking of her husband just because this man had a broad sense of responsibility.
“Are you telling me to take off my clothes?”
“Yes.”
It was truly the worst.
