Chapter 2 – Kang Yu-jin (2)

With those words, Yu-jin turned and, accompanied by Yeon, headed for Ye Un-hyang’s residence.

“Are you alright?”

At Kang Hyeon-woo’s question, the maid struggled to nod.

“I’ll make sure my brother doesn’t bother you again, so you can relax and go.”

“Th-thank you, Third Young Master.”

The maid bowed and disappeared. Kang Hyeon-woo, who had been watching her with a smile, erased it from his face the moment she was out of sight.

Because of actions like the one just now, not only the public but most people in the clan looked down on Yu-jin. However, Kang Hyeon-woo knew well that Yu-jin was not someone to be ignored.

* * *

“Ah, out of all six of my younger brothers, not a single one is endearing. They have no respect for their older brother, only the desire to surpass me.”

Yeon smiled softly at Yu-jin’s complaint. In truth, for a family with such immense power, it was harder for brothers to maintain a bond of camaraderie.

Even the second son, Kang Yong-hoon, who was beloved by many, was not liked by most of his younger brothers, which showed just how poor their fraternal bonds were.

Of course, all the brothers treated their younger sisters, who were unrelated to the family succession, very well.

Grumbling, Yu-jin headed for the inner quarters. The guards there were all skilled female warriors.

Their duty was to prevent any man from entering, except for the family head and the men of his direct bloodline.

“Good work, everyone.”

When Yu-jin smiled at them, many of the warriors blushed faintly. The sight made Yeon uncomfortable, but she didn’t let it show. Yu-jin finally stood before his mother Ye Un-hyang’s room.

“My lady, the First Young Master has arrived.”

“Let him in.”

Hearing the voice from within, Yu-jin gently patted the maid’s bottom as he entered the room.

“Mother, I heard you summoned me.”

Ye Un-hyang, once a renowned swordswoman in the Sword Pavilion, was known as the Moonlight Sword and was adored by many men.

She eventually married the current family head, Kang Yu-hyeon, and became a wife heartbroken by his philandering ways. But now, her heart ached more from her son’s eccentric behavior than her husband’s.

She looked at the son she had borne, Kang Yu-jin, with complicated eyes. She had tried to give him everything to make him the family head, but Kang Yu-jin had thrown it all away to indulge in wine and women. It was only natural for her heart to ache.

“Yu-jin, your mother called you for no other reason than…”

“Mother, why ‘Yu-jin’? Please, call me ‘Jin-ah’ comfortably.”

As Yu-jin spoke with a broad smile, Ye Un-hyang sighed. Her other children had matured quickly from a young age, but Yu-jin remained like this, which she found pitiful.

Of course, it was a good thing that mother and son had a close relationship, but she couldn’t help the complex feelings it stirred. Nevertheless, Ye Un-hyang complied with Yu-jin’s words and spoke again.

“Alright, Jin-ah. Your mother called you because of your marriage.”

“What?”

Yu-jin’s eyes widened.

*I can’t let my son continue like this,* Ye Un-hyang thought.

Yu-jin coveted wine and women, but women were the bigger problem.

At least he had been cutting back on drinking lately.

But no matter what she said, he wouldn’t reduce his womanizing. From the maids in the mansion to the daughters of common households, and even the courtesans in the brothels.

Yu-jin truly pursued a wide variety of women.

Fortunately, he seemed to want to avoid major trouble, so he didn’t touch women from powerful families. Still, Ye Un-hyang didn’t want her son to chase after countless women like her husband did.

So she thought of a way to stop Yu-jin from pursuing women any longer, and she finally found one.

“Once you marry, you will surely develop a sense of responsibility as the head of a household, Jin-ah.”

“Mother. I’m only twenty-five. A marriage already? That’s absurd.”

Yu-jin frantically waved his hands as he spoke, but he was no match for a mother determined to reform her son.

“Must this mother hang herself for you to come to your senses!”

Knowing well that Ye Un-hyang was a woman of her word, Yu-jin quickly shook his head. Ye Un-hyang nodded at his reaction and continued.

“Your partner is the daughter of the Namgung Clan, one of the most prestigious families in the martial world. She is the daughter of a friend I knew before I married. I originally intended to marry you to a daughter from a family unrelated to the martial world, but to fix your rotten nature, it seems a woman of the martial world is necessary.”

Unlike the family head, Kang Yu-hyeon, Ye Un-hyang believed Yu-jin’s martial arts were not particularly outstanding. Therefore, she was convinced that her son would be completely dominated by his future wife.

“Oh, Mother, that’s ridiculous. The Namgung Clan? Weren’t they the rulers of Anhui Province in the past? For such a prestigious family to give their daughter to someone like me…”

As he spoke, Yu-jin’s complexion turned pale. Satisfied with his reaction, Ye Un-hyang nodded.

“Yes. Your betrothed is none other than the treasured daughter of the Namgung Clan and one of the Five Flowers of the Righteous Path, the Thunder Phoenix, Namgung Hwa-rin.”

At those words, Yu-jin’s face twisted in horror. Namgung Hwa-rin’s face was truly beautiful; no one would deny that. But she had one major problem: her personality.

Having learned martial arts while being doted on by the former head of the Namgung Clan, the Thunder Sword Emperor Namgung Jin, and the current head, the Flying Thunder Sword King Namgung Ok, she had a habit of ignoring and tormenting most men.

More than a few young martial artists had their limbs broken due to her eccentric personality.

Belatedly, the Namgung Clan’s head, Namgung Ok, and his wife, Kang Su-yeon, realized the gravity of the situation. They were struck by the dreadful feeling that their beloved daughter might never marry.

In the midst of this, Ye Un-hyang sent a messenger, so they had no choice but to eagerly accept.

“M-Mother! Do you want to see your only son’s limbs get broken?!”

Yu-jin shouted in panic, but Ye Un-hyang didn’t flinch.

“You are the only son I bore in pain, but I have other sons, Jin-ah.”

“Mother!”

“Your father has already approved, and the Namgung Clan is delighted. Surely you wouldn’t ruin a matter of great importance to the family for your own personal reasons, would you? If you do, this mother will surely hang herself.”

Yu-jin couldn’t care less about his father, but before his mother, even someone as reckless as him had no choice but to surrender.

* * *

Having finally succumbed to Ye Un-hyang’s will, Yu-jin listlessly headed to his room.

“Young Master.”

Along with Yeon, three of his four attendants—Ye, Rin, and Hwa—threw themselves into Yu-jin’s arms. Yu-jin smiled and embraced all three of them.

“Well, marriage is marriage. For now, let’s start with you!”

He laughed and lay down on the bed. Of the four women, Yeon approached first and pulled down his trousers. Between his thighs, his already aroused member revealed its magnificent size.

Nearly a foot long, it was a grotesque sight with bulging, rugged veins.

However, to Yeon and the other three maids, Yu-jin’s member was a treasure more precious than anything else.

Yeon took Yu-jin’s member and put it in her mouth. His manhood disappeared and reappeared between her red lips repeatedly.

A look of ecstasy already filled Yeon’s eyes. While enjoying Yeon’s service, Yu-jin slipped his hands under the clothes of Ye and Rin, grabbing Ye’s small, delicate breasts and Rin’s firm, full bosom.

Meanwhile, he enjoyed a kiss with Hwa.

But only for a moment. He licked Yeon’s jade gate, rubbed his massive member against it a few times, and then thrust deep inside.

Yeon cried out as she felt the foreign object enter her body.

“Aah! It hurts, hah, it’s too big. Uuungh, ahh, I-I can feel it, Master’s member! Ahh, faster, faster, heuk.”

Yu-jin began to move his hips, and Yeon collapsed before he even finished. As soon as she collapsed, Rin grabbed his member and pulled it out.

She then guided Yu-jin’s member to her own jade gate. Already wet and overflowing with her juices, her entrance softly swallowed his member.

“It feels so good! So good, Master! This is what I wanted!”

Rin cried out, but Yu-jin’s gaze was on the other women. He reached out to Ye and Hwa, who were wistfully touching their own jade gates, and began to play with them.

“You’re next.”

Yu-jin was preparing them in advance, as their turn was not far off. Time passed, and the four women felt their consciousness begin to fade.

It was always like this when they took Yu-jin in. His skill and powerful stamina were more than they could handle alone. As the hours of ecstasy flowed by, the sun set.

By the time the four maids were finally exhausted and unable to get up, the night was already deep.

Yu-jin covered the maids collapsed on his bed with a blanket and left the room. There were more than just a few people he had to console, and tonight, he had another woman to comfort.

“You can come out when I’m alone.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a woman emerged from his shadow. The woman, in her twenties and boasting great beauty, was named Ran, and she could be called Yu-jin’s sword.

Like the four maids, Yu-jin had brought her here himself from somewhere when he was young.

Having been taught martial arts, Ran, unlike the other maids, assisted Yu-jin from the shadows.

*Thud!*

Just then, Ran threw a person wearing a black mask in front of Yu-jin. Judging by the build, it was a man, and from the various hidden weapons scattered nearby, he was clearly an assassin.

“Did they send another one? They must know it’s pointless, yet they keep sending them. Good work, Ran.”

“I only did what was necessary.”

Ran replied in a quiet voice. Yu-jin smiled with satisfaction, grabbed the assassin’s neck forcefully, and lifted him up.

“The number of assassins has increased lately because they think I’m an easy target. Why did Father have to say such useless things and make my life so tiresome?”

Yu-jin never expected the family head, Kang Yu-hyeon, to say he was considering him as the successor. After that, his life became incredibly bothersome.

He was already kept in check because of his position as the eldest son, but now those who felt threatened by the family head’s remark began to attack Yu-jin using assassins.

Of course, the situation was strange.

The warriors of the True Dragon Sword Clan were all exceptional. No matter how skilled the assassins were, breaking through the clan’s tight security was next to impossible. Unless, that is, it was the legendary King of Assassins.

“But that’s only possible under normal circumstances.”

It was safe to say there were no warriors guarding the annex where Yu-jin was currently staying. Yu-jin had beaten up the guards so often that they had naturally stopped coming.
