Chapter 201 – Erotic Battle (10)

Although the words of Myeongwoljinin sounded like those of a swindler…

Surely, someone as important as a long-standing member of Mosanpa wouldn’t resort to cheating for a mere ten pieces of gold. Especially not in times like these.

It was clear that he was trying to make talismans with expensive materials. Perhaps he would even melt gold and apply it to the talismans.

…That must be it, right?

With the uncertain reactions of our group, we finally returned to Gangseo Castle.

***

Reporting to superiors is a principle, whether the mission is successful or not.

However, this time, the people who would receive the report had fought directly and even made plans for the future on the way back, starting with Myeongwoljinin’s strategy, so there was no need to convene a meeting.

The plan was simple. Delaying would only result in replenishing lost gangsters, so we would prepare for a full-scale battle as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there were no major injuries among the Hwagyeong Muiin. So as soon as Hong Yeon-hwa’s injuries were treated, we would attack Guangdong Castle. That was the end of it.

It was too simple, but it was truly the best option. No one could think of a better way.

To put it bluntly, there was a method of blockading Guangdong Castle until all the civilians died, preventing the gangsters and their internal energy from being replenished… but that was not the orthodox way.

How could we let all the people living in Guangdong Castle die when there were only a few of them?

Anyway, for that reason, as soon as we arrived in Hongju, everyone scattered in all directions.

To announce the death of those who had been with us until now, to announce their own safety, and to prepare for battle.

We were no exception.

As soon as we arrived at the mansion, Pang So-so and Sama Yeoryeong, who were in the practice room, greeted us.

“Jin Gaga! And the sisters! I missed you!”

“You’re not hurt, are you? Jin Lang, you’re not a useless prince, are you?”

Pang So-so ran towards us like a puppy, smiling brightly, while Sama Yeoryeong quickly scanned us to see if we were injured, meowing like a cat.

Laughter flowed out of us at the contrasting yet similar appearance of the two. After hugging each other lightly, I jokingly asked.

“Am I the only one you want to see? What about Yeon-hwa and Sama Mang?”

“Oh, it’s just that Jin Gaga is next in line, I haven’t forgotten you.”

“Jin Lang was at the front, so I asked him first.”

This time, Pang So-so passed by me and hugged Hong Yeon-hwa, while Sama Yeoryeong embraced Sama Mang.

Finally, the slightly sharp atmosphere of the two dissipated.

“What? Of course, I was planning to go see my father… What happened?” Pang So-so laughed, but her face suddenly became anxious. Hong Yeon-hwa lightly patted her back and spoke.

“Don’t worry about that. He’s probably the most unscathed among the Muiin who went this time. However, the elders are not doing well.”

“Ah…”

For Pang So-so, the elders of the family were like grandfathers who had loved her since she was a child. She was not a cruel person who could just stand by and listen to the possibility of something happening to them. Hong Yeon-hwa patted Pang So-so’s back, who was unable to move.

“Go see them quickly. The blockade can be lifted a little later.”

“Yes, yes…!”

Nodding her head repeatedly, Pang So-so ran off. Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been watching her for a moment, suddenly laughed at the startled Sama Yeoryeong.

“Let’s go inside and talk for now. I want to rest a bit because of my injury.”

“Ch-Chunma caused your injury…?”

Sama Yeoryeong was surprised, like someone hearing the sound of a duck-billed platypus for the first time.

“Let’s go in quickly! What about Mother? Is she okay?!”

Sama Mang nodded gently, smiling softly at her daughter’s flustered appearance.

“Fortunately, there weren’t any dangerous enemies since we fought in close combat. Phew… Ah, Yeon-hwa, do you need anything? Should I get you some medicine for your injury?”

“I already took one. It’s still working, so instead of medicine… Mm. Something sweet and refreshing like a tasty pastry and fresh white tea would be enough.”

“Uh…?”

Sama Yeoryeong tilted her head, making a confused sound. Hong Yeon-hwa giggled and added.

“My injury is quite severe, but it’s within my control. It’ll get better if I rest a bit, so don’t rush around too much.”

“Ah.”

Sama Yeoryeong finally breathed a sigh of relief. As she watched her, Hong Yeon-hwa suddenly laughed and Sama Yeoryeong, who had opened her eyes wide, suddenly stepped on my foot.

It didn’t hurt much, but I pretended to be in pain for a moment.

Whoosh!

Sama Yeoryeong lifted her foot.

“Kyaa!”

Perhaps she didn’t expect it, Sama Yeoryeong tried to fall back. Of course, I had expected it, so it wasn’t that difficult to catch her. I put my arms around her waist and laughed, making her feel embarrassed.

“Hey! Can’t you be a little more gentle?!”

“Uh-huh~ No~”

“You little brat!”

“Uh-huh~ I’m a little brat~”

“You’re acting like a child! You’re not even a little kid!”

“Uh-huh. I’m baby So-chan. So it’s okay to play with me, Mrs.~”

“Eek…!”

Hong Yeon-hwa sat on my knee, absentmindedly playing with my hair as she explained what had happened and what we needed to do next.

“That’s how it is.”

“Wow…”

Sama Yeoryeong was shocked by the stories of feminism and the number of gangsters.

“Oh, but can I talk about this before Pang unni comes?”

“What does it matter? We can explain it twice if we have to. Or she might have already heard it from her father.”

“You fool. I meant that it would be unfair if only Pang unni was left out.”

“Oh, she won’t be too upset about this.”

“You fool. Such a careless thought could be the cause of conflict later!”

“Is that so?”

As I listened, I realized that she was right. I should pay more attention when Pang So-so returns.

With that in mind, I raised my chin above Hong Yeon-hwa’s head.

“Hmm?”

Hong Yeon-hwa didn’t avoid me, but rather seemed to enjoy the feeling of my chin on her head, moving her head back and forth.

So cute.

Instinctively, I put my hand on Hong Yeon-hwa’s chest, feeling her overflowing breasts as I opened my mouth.

“By the way, how well have you mastered the Sangcheong Bigyeol? Can you use it in real combat?”

“A little bit? I fought well against the gangsters when we fought at Myeongwoljin. It’s a difficult technique to master, but it’s a fundamental study that can be applied to any martial art. I’m not good at alcohol techniques yet, but some of the Senki Xianqi has seeped into my inner strength, so it might be easier to fight a little bit. It’s not a significant difference, though.”

“Well… it hasn’t been that long since you started learning it, so it’s natural.”

“But why are you asking about this?”

“I told you. Next time, you and So-so will have to fight too. We’ll fight together, so if you can handle the gangsters better, Yeoryeong can focus on the gangsters,” Hong Yeon-hwa said.

“Well, it’s not necessary to go that far.”

I shrugged my shoulders, and Sama Yeoryeong looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Us? Even Yeon-hwa unni?”

“Oh, she’s planning to lead a separate unit with some of the Hwagyeong warriors. So don’t push yourself too hard. There may be situations where she can’t help.”

Hong Yeon-hwa put down the candy she was eating and spoke with a worried tone.

After removing my chin from Hong Yeon-hwa’s lips, I held her face and lifted it up.

“Hmm?”

Hong Yeon-hwa obediently leaned into my touch, and I kissed her lips, feeling the sweetness of the sugar melting in my mouth.

A short gasp, the sensation of her small lips, the taste of sweet candy mixed with the unique fragrance of flowers and fruit.

Our tongues intertwined, exploring every corner of each other’s mouths.

As we slowly pulled away, I saw Hong Yeon-hwa’s face, which was now flushed with excitement.

I stroked her soft cheeks and lifted the corners of her mouth.

“Don’t worry. I found out recently that I’m incredibly strong in the Chojuljeong. I won’t be fighting alone, and Sama Mang-nim and the elders of Pang-ga will fight with me, so there won’t be any problems.”

Of course, against Hwagyeong warriors, I won’t be able to use any tricks and will have to fight to the death… but everyone knows that Hwagyeong warriors only fight among themselves.

Otherwise, other disciples or family members will be easily killed.

This time, the Chojuljeong warriors lost almost half of their members, but all the Hwagyeong warriors survived.

On the other hand, Yeon-ga lost several of their Thousand-Year Gangsters, so we have more power than the Hwagyeong.

So whether I become a master of Sama or a Thousand-Year Gangster, we won’t have to face the Hwagyeong warriors directly.

“Let’s focus on what we need to do right now, rather than worrying unnecessarily.”

“What do you mean by what we need to do right now…?”

“Well, I told you before we left, didn’t I? That you and So-so had prepared something. I’m really looking forward to it.”

Sama Yeoryeong looked at me with a surprised expression.

“You think it looks cool… that’s why you’re such a perverted prince!”

No, the two of us have already done everything there is to do. How can I not be excited?

“Don’t be like that. Next time, it’ll be you and Yeoryeong with Sama Mang-nim.”

“Huh…?”

I spoke in a casual voice to the bewildered Sama Yeoryeong.

“Not enough inner strength… is what you said?”

If it’s not enough, then you have to increase it.
