Chapter 63 – Yongbongjihoe (8)

“Thank goodness…I was afraid I would have to inherit the family business, but it looks like I don’t have to.”

…Soso?

What were you thinking?

I wasn’t the only one taken aback by the unexpected comment from the fiery young woman.

“Huh…?”

“You…you…?”

Hong Yeon-hwa was startled and let out a gasp, while Paeng Oh-jin stuttered and asked again, trying to make sense of what he had heard.

“Did you…plan to kill my father…?”

It was only then that Paeng Soso, who had finally noticed the stares around her, bounced over and returned our question as it was.

“What?! No! That’s not it at all! What were you all thinking?! I really cherish my father and grandfather as family!”

“Then what were you planning to do?”

“First, I have to knock down my grandfather.”

Save him…?

I wonder if the expression “saving” has a slightly different meaning among siblings! While I was pondering this, Paeng Soso added confidently, as if to reassure me.

“It’s okay. I was stronger than him before I left home.”

It’s not about whether you can win or not!

Paeng Soso calmly recited her plan.

First, she would publicly win in a duel, then she would take over the position of the successor, carrying the elders who had always favored her on her back. As the successor, she would take over the family business under the pretext of successor training, gradually taking away Paeng Oh-jin’s power, and eventually retiring with enough power to do so.

“If everything goes according to plan, I can inherit the family business within three years! By then, no one will oppose even if they know about Jin-ga and Hong-unni’s existence. No, they won’t be able to!”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Paeng Soso’s words ended, but none of us could speak.

Of course, Paeng Soso’s plan was not very realistic. She was already lacking in this area.

That’s why it was even more shocking.

Even Eonju-won, who wanted to kill herself to make her brother stronger, initially thought that there was some misunderstanding, but Paeng Soso had made a plan to make her brother a loser and pressure her father.

There is no option to give up on me, and the mindset of doing anything if necessary is evident, making me happy but also a little complicated.

Paeng Oh-jin also noticed this and started laughing. After a while, he suddenly grabbed my shoulder and looked straight at me.

“I’ll leave everything to you, son-in-law.”

He said with a face that had let go of everything.

Despite all the ups and downs, Paeng Oh-jin had no choice but to acknowledge my relationship with Paeng Soso.

There were several reasons for this.

One was that I had saved Paeng Soso’s life three times, and the fact that I had already taken her virginity and learned Paengga’s martial arts techniques.

But perhaps the most significant reason was that Paeng Soso had shown me how sincere she was.

“First, we’ll publicly announce our engagement. Of course, we’ll tell the elders the truth, but…”

“I understand.”

The news that a woman from the Haebuk Paengga had become a concubine would cause various problems. As I nodded my head, I felt someone pulling on my finger from the side.

“Hey, hey.”

When I turned around, Hong Yeon-hwa was lightly tugging on my finger.

“Umm…it’s just an engagement, right? The formal wedding should be done by the bride first, right?”

“Of course. We promised.”

If I ever returned to Hong Yeon-hwa’s world, it would be there. If we couldn’t find a way in Mosanpa and the royal palace, it would be here. That was the promise.

“Haha…let’s do it together then. It’s better to do it once grandly than to do it multiple times.”

“Jin-ga in the center, and Hong-unni and I on either side…ah…”

It was a future event, but Hong Yeon-hwa and Paeng Soso were already laughing and giggling as they imagined it.

Paeng Oh-jin, who saw this, spoke to me in a nonchalant tone.

“What are you doing? Pack up and come down!”

“Yes? Pack up?”

“There’s no need to stay in this uncomfortable inn until the end of the Yongbongjihoe. …There’s a mansion of the Paengga near the Muryeongmaeng, so it’s okay to stay there.”

“Father-in-law…!”

I felt a little touched that I was finally recognized as part of the family.

After that, we quickly packed up with the excited Hong Yeon-hwa and Paeng Soso and headed towards the mansion with Paeng Oh-jin. We talked about various things on the way, such as what to be careful of and visiting the main house in Haebuk after the Yongbongjihoe.

After laying the groundwork like that, Paeng Oh-jin cleared his throat a few times and asked in a casual tone.

“So, when are you planning to have the wedding? How many children do you want?”

“Um…about that…”

I had to explain this, but I also had to reveal the truth about Hong Yeon-hwa…

As I hesitated, Paeng Soso spoke up for me.

“It’ll be a little later. I went to the Yongbongjihoe to get my father’s approval, but Jin-ga and Hong-unni’s purpose is…”

I explained the situation to Paeng Soso, but I didn’t reveal everything and kept it to a version that was easier to swallow, just like what I heard at first.

“Wow…so that’s why I couldn’t even guess your identity. A master of the Seoae Mureum.”

Even in a slow world like this, anything related to the Odaese family was bound to be heard.

It seemed that Hong Yeon-hwa’s identity was bothering Paeng Soso.

Paeng Oh-jin calmly nodded his head, and it was Paeng Soso who was taken aback.

“Um…is that it? What if I end up going far away?”

“You chose this path even though you knew everything. It’s settled. Besides, you don’t have to leave, and even if you do, don’t disappear without a word. Choose the path that will make you happy, Soso.”

“Father…”

Paeng Soso’s eyes were slightly watery as she heard her father say the same thing she had said before.

She thought her father didn’t recognize her, so she ran away, but she must have felt something when he recognized her in the most important part.

Perhaps Paeng Oh-jin noticed his daughter’s gaze, as he growled at me in a threatening tone.

“Be careful not to make my daughter cry. If you do, I’ll chase you to the other side of the world and make your body bleed ten times over…”

Smack!

Paeng Oh-jin, who was trying to say something very formal, was hit on the back of the head by Paeng Soso.

“Father! Again!”

“Ugh! Now my daughter is beating her father!”

Unlike a little while ago when he was fierce, Paeng Oh-jin was surrounded by mischievous Paeng Soso.

“Don’t worry, father-in-law. Soso will never have a reason to be sad.”

As I said that, Paeng Oh-jin suddenly turned serious and stared at me.

“Yes. That’s what you should do.”

No, what’s with the sudden change in tone…

***

Living in the mansion was like a whole new world to me.

The room was as spacious as the expensive guesthouses I stayed in before, except for the luxurious decorations, and there were servants to help with various tasks, making life much more comfortable.

And when the time came, there were balanced meals and a proper training ground, not just a simple practice field.

For me, who used to fetch water every morning and swing a sword in the dusty yard, every day was new and exciting.

Especially the experience of being treated by someone was the first time in this life and the previous one, so it felt even more special.

Hong Yeon-hwa and Paeng Soso, on the other hand, accepted this lifestyle with a natural attitude.

Anyway, the living conditions and martial arts training were much better than before, but…our expressions were getting darker and darker.

To give you an idea of the intensity and explicitness of the original text, here’s a translation:

It was so bad that Hong Yeon-hwa, who used to sing while eating three plates of high-end food on the first day, only ate one plate today.

The reason was clear.

“Miss, we can’t live like this!”

“I agree with Hong Unni! There’s a limit to what we can do alone!”

It was because we hadn’t been able to sleep properly lately.

“I’m the same…but there’s nothing we can do.”

For now, Hong Yeon-hwa, Paeng Soso, and I each had our own room.

It couldn’t be helped. If the servants caught us sleeping together every day, there would be no reason to announce my engagement to Paeng Soso to the outside world.

Of course, it wasn’t difficult to secretly gather in one room without the knowledge of the servants who didn’t know martial arts.

The real problem was something else.

“Doesn’t your father know everything and is just pretending to be happy?!”

“No way. He seems genuinely happy these days.”

It was because of Paeng Oh-jin, who came to our room every morning.

When Hong Yeon-hwa heard that she was going to the Yongbongjihoe, she looked like an adult playing in a playground, but she accepted the necessity of it.

However, he also came out to help us with our training, saying that we should try to do it properly since we were going to the Yongbongjihoe anyway.

Of course, in the process, my lack of talent was exposed, and we ended up with the same conclusion as Hong Yeon-hwa after several rounds of intense sparring…

I don’t know if it was good that I could legally be given to them or if it was good that I unexpectedly became their son-in-law, but Paeng Oh-jin was waiting for us at the training ground every morning like a routine.

If we made too much noise and felt refreshed as usual, we would definitely be caught the next day.

That’s a bit of a problem…

In the end, we had to do it secretly, little by little, while keeping an eye out…and that just made our desires build up even more.

Well, I could relieve myself with a few strokes even if I was alone. But it was a serious problem for Hong Yeon-hwa, who didn’t know how to masturbate, and Paeng Soso, whose body didn’t respond without me.

Should I make a plan to take them out for a night?

As I was thinking that, Hong Yeon-hwa suddenly widened her eyes and gasped.

“Ah!”

“Did you think of something good?”

Hong Yeon-hwa giggled and nodded her head.

“You said you could handle it alone, didn’t you?”

“Did I?”

“Then from today, bring your passion to the training ground.”

“…What?”

I asked her what she meant, but Paeng Soso finally realized and clapped her hands.

“Ah, I get it now!”

“Oh! There’s a way! Hong Unni, you’re amazing!”

“Cough cough. My lady is quite amazing.”

I couldn’t understand even after seeing Hong Yeon-hwa shrug her shoulders, so I had to ask again.

“What…what do you mean? What are you going to do with my cum?”

“There are many uses for it. Let’s see…”

Hong Yeon-hwa folded her little fingers and continued.

“First, you can smell it. If you want something stronger, you can even put it in your mouth. Or you can smear it on the tail we made earlier and suck on it. There are other ways too…oh, and in the end, just put it all inside and fall asleep, so don’t worry.”

I’ve never been worried about the whereabouts of my cum…

Hong Yeon-hwa looked at me with a proud expression, as if to say, “How about that? I did well, right?” and Paeng Soso nodded in agreement, as if to say, “I agree.” I only had one thing to say to them.

“…So, you just fill the container with it?”

This was a new level of explicitness that I wasn’t prepared for.
