Chapter 42 – Led by the Nose (1)

At Lee Hwan’s praise, the warriors of the Cheonsan Lee Clan let out a great cheer. However, not everyone was celebrating. The estate, which was nothing short of the clan’s history itself, had been completely obliterated.

Lee Hwan, sensing their mood, raised his hand, and the warriors quickly fell silent. Once it was quiet, Lee Hwan spoke again.

“The estate, the very history of the Cheonsan Lee Clan, is gone. But do not grieve. An estate like this can be rebuilt at any time! What matters are the people! Sadly, many have lost their lives, but many more are still alive. As long as we live, we can always rebuild the estate! So do not lose heart! We are the victors who forced back the Heavenly Demon’s forces, and the Heavenly Demon himself!”

“Waaaaaah!”

A roar, incomparably louder than before, erupted, and it took some time for the cheering to subside.

“Today, you all witnessed it. You saw Young Master Kang Yu-jin of the Divine Sword Dragon overwhelm the Blood Sword Brigade, the Demonic Cult’s strongest combat unit, and fight against the Heavenly Demon, the very symbol of terror.”

Lee Hwan’s words were enough to focus everyone’s attention on Yu-jin. They stared at him with eyes that still couldn’t believe what they had seen.

But no one was more shocked than the other Eight Dragons. Just as they had renewed their resolve to surpass Yu-jin, they learned that he was a being from a heaven beyond the heavens.

“But forget that fact. What you know is that you all joined forces to stand against the Western Heaven Demonic Cult’s Blood Sword Brigade and the Heavenly Demon. Not Young Master Kang Yu-jin alone. If word of this spreads outside!”

Flash!

As a blue sword force cut through the air, the warriors saw an illusion of space itself being torn apart.

“I will personally find whoever started the rumor and take their life with the very saber that struck down the Heavenly Demon!”

At his words, the warriors of the Cheonsan Lee Clan fell silent. Nodding at their response, Lee Hwan looked toward Na Ye-jin and the other renowned martial artists, as well as the Eight Dragons and Five Phoenixes. In the end, they had no choice but to heed his words.

‘Well, this is fortunate.’

Having achieved his goal without losing a thing, Yu-jin smiled to himself.

* * *

After Lee Hwan finished speaking, the people dispersed throughout Lanzhou. With the Cheonsan Lee Clan’s estate gone, the warriors had nowhere to stay.

Yu-jin, along with his handmaidens and Namgung Hwa-rin, settled into a rather luxurious inn.

The handmaidens took one room, while Yu-jin and Namgung Hwa-rin took another. As soon as they entered their room, Namgung Hwa-rin pushed Yu-jin onto the bed. Then, held in his arms, she began to cry.

“Young Master! I was so worried! Why would you do something so dangerous… If something had happened to you, I really…”

“What wouldn’t I do if I could save you, Hwa-rin, by sacrificing my own body?”

As Yu-jin spoke with a smile, Namgung Hwa-rin leaned in and kissed him. She had never felt so proud to be betrothed to such a man.

‘Still, what should I do about this? She’ll be very upset if I tell her I have to marry Lee Hye-yeon, won’t she?’

Though taking concubines was permitted, there wasn’t a woman alive who would be happy to see her man show interest in another woman.

‘I’ll worry about it later. For now, I need to replenish my strength.’

He had expended too much energy and needed to restore it with the Yin-Yang Lust Arts. Yu-jin slowly began to remove Namgung Hwa-rin’s clothes until she was completely naked.

Yu-jin gently reached out and cupped Namgung Hwa-rin’s breast. It was, as always, incredibly soft. He brought his mouth to her breast and began to suckle fiercely, the sound echoing loudly in the bedroom.

“Ah, ah… Mmm, mmmph…”

As Yu-jin suckled hard, Namgung Hwa-rin writhed and moaned.

The more she did, the more aroused Yu-jin became, exploring her breast with greater intensity. In proportion, louder moans escaped Namgung Hwa-rin’s lips, and her lower body thrashed about even more wildly.

“Hah! Ugh… ugh…”

While holding one breast and suckling it with his mouth, Yu-jin used his other hand to caress Namgung Hwa-rin’s blossom. Her petals, along with the grove, were already thoroughly drenched.

Embarrassed by her own reaction, Namgung Hwa-rin turned her head to the side. Of course, that wasn’t about to stop Yu-jin.

This time, Yu-jin spread Namgung Hwa-rin’s legs wide, buried his face directly into her blossom, and began to lick.

“Young Master! Haaaah! Young Master!”

Unable to hold back any longer, Yu-jin lifted Namgung Hwa-rin’s legs from her waist and placed them over his shoulders.

Namgung Hwa-rin was now positioned with her hips raised, her legs resting one on each of his shoulders. As he looked down, her blossom was wide open and twitching, a copious amount of fluid flowing from it.

“I’m coming in, Hwa-rin.”

“Yes, Young Master…”

Hearing her permission, Yu-jin glanced at her face once more before thrusting his member deep inside her blossom with all his might.

“Aah! Ah, ah… Aahng.”

Namgung Hwa-rin let out a loud scream, but Yu-jin moved his hips without hesitation. He still had a long way to go to replenish his spent energy.

* * *

Currently, Lee Hwan and Lee Hye-yeon were staying at the same inn as Yu-jin. Lee Ye-hwan, still not in his right mind, was receiving intensive care from clan members elsewhere.

Lee Hye-yeon was having a meal with Lee Hwan when his words left her with a bewildered expression.

“Could you please say that again, Father?”

Understanding his daughter’s reaction, Lee Hwan nodded and spoke again.

“What do you think about marrying Kang Yu-jin, the great young master of the True Dragon Sword Clan?”

“Father, why are you suddenly saying such a thing…?”

Lee Hye-yeon asked with a hesitant look.

“Aren’t you of age to be married? That’s why I’m asking what you think of Young Master Kang Yu-jin as a potential husband.”

“I heard that Young Master Kang Yu-jin already has a fiancée.”

The engagement between Yu-jin and Namgung Hwa-rin was quite famous in the martial world, so even Lee Hye-yeon, who lived far away, knew about it.

And from what she had seen herself, their relationship was clearly no ordinary one; there seemed to be no room for anyone else to come between them.

“Such things are meaningless. What’s important is your opinion. What do you think of Young Master Kang Yu-jin?”

At her father’s words, Lee Hye-yeon considered her feelings for Yu-jin. In truth, they hadn’t had much interaction. They had only met a few days ago.

However, she vividly remembered what Yu-jin had said to her when she was lost in despair.

‘Get a hold of yourself!’

That was what Yu-jin had first said to her, his voice radiating an intensity that shook her very soul.

‘The Hegemon Heaven Saber Emperor would never lose his dignity, no matter how dire the crisis. Show the world the majesty of the sole daughter of the Cheonsan Lee Clan!’

Words she had never heard before. Yu-jin’s words were etched into her soul. After a moment of thought, Lee Hye-yeon spoke.

“My feelings for Young Master Kang Yu-jin are not clear. However, I am not against the idea of him becoming my husband. In fact, I would say I like it.”

At Lee Hye-yeon’s response, Lee Hwan smiled brightly.

“I’m so glad you think that way. I was actually quite worried. The thought of proceeding with a marriage against your will did not sit well with me. And as you know, the clan is bound to be unstable for a while.”

An estate was a symbol of a clan, so the fact that it was completely gone could be interpreted as the clan’s demise.

Most people would surely think so. But Lee Hwan thought differently.

“The clan has not fallen. We still have an enormous amount of wealth in our coffers, and the merchant groups operating under the Cheonsan Lee Clan’s name are still conducting business. The destroyed buildings can be rebuilt at any time. However, it is undeniably a crisis. In times like these, the value of one outstanding individual is more important than anything else. And Young Master Kang Yu-jin is more than worthy of that value.”

While wealth was important, the most crucial thing for a martial clan was martial power. And that power was determined by the number of masters in the Transformation and Profound Realms.

For reasons unknown, Yu-jin was keeping his distance from his own clan, the True Dragon Sword Clan. If they could embrace him during this time, Lee Hwan believed the Cheonsan Lee Clan could soar to even greater heights than before.

For that, he wouldn’t mind if his own daughter became a concubine.

‘They say opportunity follows crisis. We will use this crisis as an opportunity to leap to a higher place.’

Lee Hwan made his resolve. Watching him, Lee Hye-yeon rose from her seat. She slowly left the room and walked down the hallway to calm her troubled mind.

Then, she passed by a room from which she could hear a woman’s moans and a man’s rough breathing.

“Master! Master!”

The voices of two women blended in harmony. Hearing them, Lee Hye-yeon’s face flushed.

“I’m coming, Seol-rin!”

A familiar voice carried into the hallway. Hearing it, a look of bewilderment crossed Lee Hye-yeon’s face.

‘Seol-rin, not Hwa-rin? Young Master Kang… Surely not…?’

The thought of Yu-jin embracing another woman while his fiancée was in the very same inn made Lee Hye-yeon’s mind go blank. With a stunned expression, she returned to her room and sat on her bed in a daze until dawn.

* * *

The person who had thrown Lee Hye-yeon into turmoil, Yu-jin, was still embracing his women.

Namgung Hwa-rin had long since collapsed from exhaustion. The women now handling Yu-jin’s fiery passion were Eun Seol-rin and Ran.

Eun Seol-rin, her top half undone to expose her pale breasts, was sharing a deep kiss with Yu-jin. As his lips covered her small, red ones and his hand cupped her breast, Eun Seol-rin, who had flinched for a moment, went still.

Gripping Eun Seol-rin’s buttocks, which had the elasticity of rubber balls, Yu-jin spread her legs and pushed his hand further in.

As if she wore nothing underneath, his hand easily parted her thick grove and found her intricately shaped, red, and hot blossom.

“Good girl, Seol-rin. To wear nothing on purpose just to make it easier for me. I love how lewd you are.”

As Yu-jin spoke, he greedily devoured Eun Seol-rin’s breast. Beneath him, Ran held his member, her red tongue licking along its shaft.

“Kugh. Nice, Ran.”

Yu-jin smiled and praised Ran, then twisted Eun Seol-rin’s nipple.

“Hyaaaang!”

At Yu-jin’s caress, Eun Seol-rin’s thighs lost their strength, her legs falling open helplessly, revealing her own reddened, twitching parts without reservation.

Gazing at Eun Seol-rin’s ever-seductive blossom, Yu-jin moved lower, licking her cute, indented navel with the tip of his tongue before finally parting the lush forest and greedily lapping at the blossom, which was already a hot flood.

“Master! Master!”

Yu-jin’s tongue darted and writhed, churning Eun Seol-rin’s blossom before finally penetrating inside.

Unable to bear the soft, stimulating movement of a foreign object inside her, Eun Seol-rin cried out his name and clutched his head tightly. At the same time, she lifted her hips, pressing her blossom even closer to his tongue as she wailed.

“Haaaang! Ma-Master! Hyaaaang!”

Yu-jin’s tongue relentlessly pushed into Eun Seol-rin’s blossom, drenched in her juices, and her waist arched like a bow once more.

Heated moans escaped her lips. Eun Seol-rin gripped the sheets as if to tear them, her face, beaded with sweat, completely covered in a mask of lust.

“It feels good! Master! So good!”

As Eun Seol-rin spewed lewd words amidst her cries of pleasure, Yu-jin’s hands shifted her body into a kneeling position.

Eun Seol-rin raised her hips high. Her smooth buttocks were parted appealingly like an egg, and the swaying grass between her thighs was slick with her juices.

Between the blades of grass, her slightly parted red blossom still twitched, shamelessly tempting him. Unable to restrain himself any longer, Yu-jin pulled his member from Ran’s mouth.

“I’m coming, Seol-rin!”

Shouting loudly, Yu-jin pressed his member against her blossom and thrust in hard.

“Aaaaack!”

Though she had accepted Yu-jin countless times, Eun Seol-rin couldn’t stop the loud cry that erupted every time he entered her.

Yu-jin, too, couldn’t hide his admiration for her powerful tightness as he moved his hips.

The inside of her blossom stimulated his member intensely, and Yu-jin closed his eyes in pleasure as he rocked his hips.

After pouring a stream of white fluid deep inside Eun Seol-rin, Yu-jin approached Ran, who was looking at him with expectant eyes.

‘Hm?’

As he moved toward Ran, Yu-jin realized someone was outside and smirked. However, he didn’t bother to identify who it was. Whoever was there, the important thing right now was to take Ran.

Yu-jin immediately pounced on Ran.
