NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 101
Chapter 101: So Cute
Geumhu was in a good mood today.
When Sangong was pacing in front of the secret cave, Geumhu felt tense.
What if Sangong had some secret hidden away that she didn’t know? What if she was secretly part of some underground force, conspiring behind Geumhu’s back? Those thoughts made her anxious.
But hearing the truth straight from Sangong, Geumhu’s anxiety vanished without a trace.
‘Sangong was the beloved of Honwon Geomje…!‘
Geumhu completely trusted Sangong’s explanation.
‘A secret just for Sangong and me… I must be the first outsider to learn this secret… Sangong, you have such trust in me. And you’re even willing to overlook how I’ve been following you… I can only feel embarrassed by your wide-heartedness, like the heavens…‘
No, rather, when Geumhu realized that Sangong was Honwon Geomje’s beloved, she felt a sense of destiny.
‘There were rumors that the former Geumhu was also the beloved of Honwon Geomje…‘
It was no coincidence that the rumor of the previous Geumhu, Baek Chuseol, and Honwon Geomje, Mugukja, being intimate with each other came to mind.
Originally, it was just a tale, a questionable story even among the Hangshan Sect.
‘The rumors were true. They were definitely lovers!‘
But Geumhu was sure.
The two of them were indeed lovers. The fact that Sangong said Honwon Bidong had maps left by Honwon Geomje was proof.
No matter how close they were, there was no way they could share the secrets of their sect.
But if they were lovers? If they were in love, then it was entirely possible.
Geumhu understood because she was in love herself.
She knew just how reckless a loving woman could become.
For Sangong, she could not only reach for the sun and moon but would also dedicate everything to him.
Surely, Baek Chuseol, the ancestor and former Geumhu, must have told Honwon Geomje the location of Geumhu Bidong with the same feelings.
‘The former Geumhu must have only shared the information of Geumhu Bidong with his beloved, Honwon Geomje.‘
Right.
That must be it.
Honwon Geomje and Baek Chuseol.
Their solid and passionate love had endured three hundred years and now connected to her and Lee Cheol-soo.
The moment she realized this fact, Geumhu’s heart raced madly.
Her face turned red. Embarrassingly, she couldn’t help but blush in front of Sangong.
‘Sangong. This is destiny. Our connection was fated from the beginning, a bond ordained by the heavens.‘
This was destiny.
Her bond with Lee Cheol-soo was not merely a fleeting encounter.
It was a connection that began with Honwon Geomje and the former Geumhu.
A fate that linked their unfulfilled love to the present.
The red thread of destiny had bound her and Sangong from the start.
All of this was orchestrated from the former Geumhu.
Thump.
Geumhu’s heart raced.
And it didn’t stop there.
‘Now I can finally call you Eun-gong instead of Sangong. I can officially show respect.‘
At last.
She could elevate her address from Sangong to Eun-gong.
Since he was the one who resolved the sect’s lingering wishes, she could honorably refer to him as such.
No more would she need to act coldly to him under the gaze of others.
Because he was Eun-gong.
She had received a favor.
Now she could treat him kindly and speak gently without issue.
Though she couldn’t call him Sangong yet, Geumhu felt overwhelmingly happy just being able to refer to him in that way.
‘Of course, my husband can only be Sangong. Kyaaa.‘
Geumhu silently let out a scream of joy.
He was the destined partner ordained by the ancestors. Their love that the ancestors couldn’t fulfill must be realized in this generation. Therefore…
‘…No matter who the partner is, I won’t allow myself to give Sangong up. Even if it’s Sobin…‘
She couldn’t give up her One and Only Sangong, the destined partner.
‘I won’t forgive those demon spawns either. How dare they try to steal the inheritance left behind by the ancestors and prove the love between Sangong and me!‘
So, Geumhu was determined as she entered the secret cave with Sangong.
As an overwhelming sensation of falling wrapped around her body, the first thought that crossed Geumhu’s mind was Sangong.
She was falling from such a great height. No matter how skilled Sangong was in martial arts, there was no way to avoid injury from a drop from this height.
So, she moved to embrace him in midair.
He must not get hurt.
Splash.
As they fell into the pond, she spread her arms to shield Sangong from the water.
Thanks to that, her body and hair got soaked, but Geumhu didn’t care.
“Eun-gong, are you okay?”
Fortunately, Sangong was unharmed, but she asked him to show respect as his wife.
But the moment their eyes met…
She felt it.
That warmth solidifying within her embrace.
‘Oh my!‘
Her face flushed.
Thump-thump.
Her heart raced again. Suddenly, she became aware of Sangong’s body heat as he was nestled in her arms. This feeling through the now-soaked clothing, which had lost its role, conveyed the sensation of Sangong’s well-defined muscles.
Up close, she could see how big he was.
‘I didn’t expect it to be this big.‘
She already knew Sangong’s size.
But seeing it so closely was a whole different experience.
Geumhu’s hand slowly lowered into the water.
Having reached the Stage of Transcendence, her discerning eye quickly measured Lee Cheol-soo’s size. She placed her hand on her lower abdomen to gauge it against his size.
‘T-this big… I’ll have to endure it?‘
If she married Sangong, she would have to take him in every night.
What would happen if she accepted that massive thing?
Embarrassing and ludicrous thoughts crossed Geumhu’s mind.
‘Kyaaa, what should I do!‘
Her heart raced. Feeling an unusual warmth radiating from her lower abdomen as well.
It didn’t feel bad.
If anything, it felt good. Exciting.
‘I want to quickly be in Sangong’s arms.‘
She hoped Sangong would mature quickly and take her as his own.
‘Hehe. Just seeing my body excited as a man. Oh, I’m so happy! That you still see me as a woman, even when I’m nearing the age of fifty…‘
It was more than that.
The fact that he was aroused meant he felt attracted to her feminine charms.
Though Geumhu had never held a man’s hand before, she was not naive enough to not recognize desire when she saw it.
That made her happy.
That she, not the young So Geom-hu, but a woman of aged wisdom, was now being treated as a woman by a man.
Sangong truly saw her as a woman.
From that realization, Eun Seol-ran felt love blossom within her.
Her body trembled with joy and ecstasy.
As she thought that, she locked eyes with Lee Cheol-soo.
Cheol-soo’s face turned red.
His urge gradually subsided.
He avoided Eun Seol-ran’s gaze.
‘Sangong. Hehe. It’s so cute seeing your red face. It feels like I’ve never seen you shy before. I’m falling for you all over again.‘
Seeing him like that made Eun Seol-ran smile inwardly.
Sangong, who always seemed older and composed, was now blushing like a young boy.
That sight was just too cute. So cute she wanted to pinch his cheeks. She barely held back the urge to peck and nibble on his cheek.
“T-this is… Because my Yangqi training is causing… unavoidable reactions in my lower region…‘
Shortly after, Lee Cheol-soo stammered excuses, avoiding her gaze.
His ears flushed.
Seeing him like that made Geumhu chuckle inside.
‘My Sangong. How can you be this adorable? Hehe. You can’t act this way with any other woman. You must only show me this side of you.‘
So cute.
Madly cute. Lovable. Sangong was the most lovable. How could she not love this adorably charming man who was her destined partner?
Geumhu tightly embraced Sangong and pressed his face against her ample bosom.
Yes. Sangong was feeling anxious right now.
He had just shown his private part to a woman he cherished, who he hadn’t yet married.
He was still just a 15-year-old boy. There was no way he wouldn’t feel nervous. He might be worried that she would hate him.
So, as his wife, she needed to relieve Sangong’s anxiety.
Thump. Thump.
Her heart raced like crazy.
In a sweet voice, she whispered into Lee Cheol-soo’s ear.
“Eun-gong. I’m okay. I completely understand. So, there’s no need to feel embarrassed or anxious. I understand all of you, Eun-gong.”
Hearing that, Lee Cheol-soo’s trembling subsided.
His ragged breaths steadied.
‘Sangong. I’m relieved you reassured me. Thank goodness.‘
Thump.
Her heart raced.
She wanted time to stop. She wanted to hold on like this.
But that wasn’t possible.
They had to catch the demon spawns that dared to invade and steal the ancestors’ inheritance in the secret cave.
As Sangong said, it was urgent.
How frustrating.
Geumhu thought as she quickly swam towards the nearby land from the pond.
*
On the shore of the pond, that is, at the entrance to the actual secret cave, I felt my face burning.
‘This is insane.‘
My head throbbed.
Why on earth was that happening over there?
Thanks to Geumhu believing my excuses, it ended up not being too bad, but it almost felt like the tower I built was about to crumble.
Huff.
Having too much vitality is also a problem; it gets in the way at unexpected moments.
‘But…‘
Geumhu’s embrace was pretty nice.
Especially when she buried my face in her ample bosom at the end, I had to control the blood rushing downwards with superhuman endurance to suppress my arousal.
The shock of her soft skin enveloping my face, combined with the fragrance of a woman stimulating all my senses…
It was indescribably delightful.
Even now, my face still felt hot.
If mere skin contact felt this wonderful, how intense would the Cloud and Rain Pleasure be? I was beginning to feel fear beyond excitement.
Hehe.
Just thinking about it made my heart race.
As I again controlled my member trying to rise, I chuckled inwardly.
At that moment…
“It’s all done, Eun-gong.”
I heard Geumhu’s voice from behind.
Turning around, I saw her now dry and refreshed, having activated her energy to dry her clothes.
I scratched my reddened cheeks for no reason while clearing my throat.
“Ahem. Then I shall prepare to depart.”
“Understood.”
Hearing Geumhu’s response, I activated my energy and moved towards the secret cave.
The real challenge of conquering the cave was about to begin.
*
At the same time.
Inside the secret cave.
Clang!
Pshhh!
Pwoosh!
One of the activated mechanisms shot an arrow and turned a zombie into a pincushion.
Behind it stood a man dressed in blood-red robes.
He was the bishop of the Blood Sect in charge of the mission.
As he moved after disabling one trap, the bishop picked up on the presence of intruders with his senses.
Bam!
A pair of red lights flared up in the dark cave.
“Looks like we have two little rats hiding here.”
A sinister voice echoed through the cave.
He was carrying out a grand plan for the resurrection of the Demon King.
Interrogators were not to be tolerated.
The bishop pulled a bell from his robe.
Ding!
When the bell rang, the eyes of the zombies behind him glowed red.
Ding!
As the bishop rang the bell again, five zombies quickly threw themselves into the dark abyss behind.
A twisted smile appeared on the bishop’s face as he watched them.
Five Blood Zombies.
It was more than enough power to deal with grave robbers.
Those who dared to lay their eyes on the Blood Sect’s possessions would face divine punishment.
After a moment of silence, the bishop moved again.
Thud.
His footsteps headed deeper into the cave.
Behind him, the blood-stained zombies followed.
