The Second Eunuch Regains His Manhood

Chapter 137: A Horrifying Time

Hwa Hyang Pavilion

The moment I stepped into the event venue that had such a sign hanging, a strangely unpleasant smell brushed against the tip of my nose. The scent of incense burning, which had the effect of elevating one’s spirits, mixed with the fragrance of women’s perfumes, mingled with the unmistakable smell of sweat and bodily fluids that only arose when bodies intertwined.

Thanks to my fifty years as a eunuch, my sense of smell had become acute.

An orgy party was already underway.

As I turned my eyes, the flickering dim lights and the glow of the incense candles mingled together like a hazy dream.

I could see figures of those drinking, as well as the sight of those engaging in intimate actions with one another.

Embarrassing sounds reached my ears. The blatant sounds of flesh colliding, a feast of skin, unfolded before my eyes.

It wasn’t just a coupling of men and women. There were men with men, women with women, and people mixing together in all sorts of combinations.

It was the epitome of debauchery.

While I had expected this, I didn’t think it would be quite this extreme. I had never attended such a hedonistic banquet even in my previous life.

Well, the eunuchs nearby had held gay parties, but since I wasn’t gay, I didn’t attend. Moreover, in my past life, I was a castrate. Attending such an orgy would have been nothing but cruel hope.

So I didn’t go.

But seeing it now, it was worse than I thought?

“Hehe, heheh… burp!”

I saw a man grinning foolishly with dazed eyes, possibly intoxicated.

I also noticed individuals engaging with one another in various states of drunkenness.

Seeing that, my disciple clung tightly to my arm.

His face turned bright red. Well, he was incredibly naive. This was the first time he was witnessing something so provocative, so he must be in shock.

[Don’t worry, disciple, I’ll protect you…]

My disciple, who clung to me, sent a message through thought.

Who was protecting whom?

Thud.

The courtesan house door closed.

“How is it, young hero? Here are the women and medicinal wine prepared for esteemed guests from the main family. Hahaha! If you’re tired of the women, I’ve prepared beautiful youths who resemble me as well.”

Mo Yong-ui said with a proud laugh.

Beautiful youths?

This guy was shamelessly suggesting that I indulge in gay activities.

To change this disgusting subject, I asked Mo Yong-ui, “I see. Where is Lady Gu?”

Since Mo Yong-ui himself mentioned that Lady Gu was looking for me, I needed to find her. Upon hearing my question, Mo Yong-ui’s expression turned crimson.

He replied, “Lady Gu is waiting for you both on the top floor of this event venue. Please follow me.”

As Mo Yong-ui crossed the chaotic orgy party filled with the mixed scents of alcohol, perfume, and sweat, he headed toward the stairs.

My disciple and I followed him up the stairs.

[Disciple, when I send a signal, subdue Lady Gu immediately. If it seems difficult, feel free to kill her.]

According to the information I acquired in my previous life, Lady Gu had some martial skills, but they were essentially for self-defense and not at the level of a master. She hadn’t learned the secret arts of Moryongsega that were only passed down to the direct descendants.

However, if Lady Gu was indeed a member of the Blood Sect, as I suspected, it was highly likely that she was hiding her true martial prowess and had only learned a basic defensive technique.

It would be unlikely for my disciple to face danger, but there was always a possibility.

After all, the Blood Sect had previously managed to challenge Geumhu, a master of Hwakyung.

My disciple needed to remain vigilant.

‘After subduing Lady Gu with my disciple, I’ll blow the whistle.’

I felt the whistle dangling inside my robe around my neck.

Once blown, this specially constructed whistle would emit a sound that only those trained in a unique hearing technique could hear—ordinary people would be oblivious to it.

Naturally, the intelligence agents belonging to the Heavenly Alliance were trained in such skills. Moreover, this place was none other than the Shaolin Temple, where Sinseung, the leader of the Heavenly Alliance, resided. Surely, there would be intelligence agents nearby. Thus, as soon as I blew the whistle, they would arrive at the scene.

Plus, I had acquaintances there, Sinseung and Jeoksawol, so I could rely on those old folks to clean up afterward.

Since this involved the Blood Sect, I knew they would handle it properly.

[Understood, Master.]

My disciple replied, tightening his grip on my hand.

[I’ll protect you.]

How many times have I heard those words today?

Well, it wasn’t bad. It meant that the future best in the world, currently Hwakyung’s Supreme Mastery, would protect me.

With all the countermeasures set, I arrived at the top floor where Lady Gu was said to be waiting.

The top floor appeared clean and tidy, and Mo Yong-ui cautiously spoke in front of the wooden door.

“Lady, I have brought this young hero and True Young Lady.”

“Do come in, please. Young Master.”

A sticky voice wafted from beyond the door.

“You may enter. Hehehe. I will await outside. May you both have a delightful time.”

Creek.

With a screech, the wooden door opened. What lay beyond was…

Even more obscenely shocking than the first floor. The air was thick with an unidentified scent wafting from the incense burner. My body instinctively reacted.

I recited the Three Yin True Formula. I suppressed the rising Yin energy surging within me. With that, I lifted my gaze.

There she was.

Gu Ok-ryeon.

The hidden power behind the Moryongsega.

In the dimly lit room, with faint lighting, she appeared to be in her late twenties with a sultry charm.

But my vision, enhanced to an extraordinary level, revealed everything clearly.

Creases of age were evident around her eyes, the characteristic laugh lines of a forty-something, and the soft belly that seemed to droop.

Eugh.

Disgusting.

Lady Gu smiled at us.

“Hohoho! You two are the illustrious young hero from the Gongdong Alliance and the mysterious master of Ilgeumyuhee, True Young Lady! Please, take a seat.”

Lady Gu gestured for us to sit. My disciple and I took our places at the prepared table.

In the center of the room, an unidentified herb was crackling in the incense burner. It was clearly an aphrodisiac designed to enhance lust.

Swoosh.

Lady Gu poured tea into the cups in front of my disciple and me.

“I heard from Mo Yong-ui that you are refraining from alcohol this week. Therefore, I prepared tea instead, please enjoy.”

Upon closer inspection, I could clearly see the traces of a thick mask covering her wrinkles.

I looked down at the tea.

It was clear that spring drugs had been added to it, masquerading as an ordinary blend. To an untrained eye, they’d likely mistake it for tea residue, but to my expert eyes, it was obvious.

It looked slightly murkier than regular green tea, and the sediment at the bottom was suspicious. While the average person might see it as tea dregs, it certainly didn’t appear that way to me.

This was evidence of spring drugs being mixed in.

In typical pulpy romantic tales, spring drugs are not considered poison. Thus, even if one achieves the peak of immunity, natural detoxification from spring drugs would be impossible.

There were three methods to detoxify spring drugs: use a special antidote, consume a detoxifying drug, or, engage in a physical union.

As an agent skilled in field operations, I had learned the detoxification methods. My disciple, however, had not.

He couldn’t possibly engage in a physical union with me, being a man, so I needed to take action.

Drinking would arouse less suspicion from Lady Gu than refusing.

‘If I consume the spring drug, expelling the toxic energy while absorbing its beneficial effects, my vigor will surely improve.’

Spring drugs are good for one’s potency.

Toxic medicine can be beneficial. Much like toxins and antidotes, the same applies to spring drugs.

If one uses the same herbs poorly, it manifests as a spring drug, but if used properly, it becomes an aphrodisiac. The very name “spring drug” suggests it enhances spring energy. If I could cleverly harness that energy, my own vitality could reach new heights.

[Disciple, it looks like there’s something added. I’ll drink it. You should refuse.]

I sent a message to my disciple before downing the tea.

As soon as I drank it, a warm medicinal effect spread throughout my body. However, being someone who had once been Hyeongyeong’s Mastery in my past life, I easily restrained the effects coursing through my blood, gradually releasing its toxic elements while allowing its benefits to permeate my body.

As the beneficial energy of the spring drug seeped into me, I felt my vitality strengthen.

I began to feel warm.

Ah, this is nice.

“The tea is delicious. Ah, True Young Lady, it’s now time for you to partake in your fasting. I’ll take care of the rest.”

I poured down what was left of the tea, detoxifying myself in the process.

Lady Gu looked at me with a sticky smile.

“Thank you. Both of you, your appearances are remarkable. You truly are a match made in heaven, especially you, young hero, you’re nothing short of an ethereal beauty.”

What?

She’s calling me a beautiful youth, like some sort of girly boy?

My insides churned with indignation, but now was not the time to express anger.

I held it in and replied, “Thank you.”

“Hehe. How do you find the banquet prepared by the main family today? Do you enjoy it?”

“It’s quite delightful. Moryongsega is renowned for its culture, I must say, that saying holds true.”

“I hear this young hero is considered the best in culture as well. Hehe, you can’t have culture without beauty.”

Lady Gu’s gaze turned lewd as we talked.

Her lips smacked together. It seemed she thought that by now, the effects of the spring drugs were fully in play. I sent my energy towards my face, warming it up, and even manipulated my breath to sound hurried.

“That’s correct. Cloud and Rain Pleasure, after all, can be said to be the beginning and the end of culture.”

This was genuine.

The ultimate purpose of culture is Cloud and Rain Pleasure.

Sex is indeed the pinnacle of pleasure.

“What you say is absolutely right. Henceforth, how about the three of us enjoy the pleasures of cloud and rain together?”

Swish.

Lady Gu began to remove her upper garments. Her soft skin, ample belly, and lush garden came into view.

Disgusting. My eyes felt sullied. Countless horrific images I’d seen online flooded my memory. For a moment, I even thought that my disciple, though male, looked vastly superior to this.

A sweet fragrance wafted from Lady Gu as her eyes gleamed.

“Hohoho!”

Her laughter carried a certain richness. An intangible essence wafted from her body.

It felt like she was covertly using some kind of hypnosis. In the realm of adult comics, one would say she activated a hypnotic app on me. A remarkably potent and powerful one at that. While she wasn’t on the same level as Jeoksawol, who had attained his divine mastery, the enchanting aura of her hypnosis was powerful enough to captivate even skilled masters.

However, her hypnosis had no effect on me. The world’s most beautiful, Jeoksawol’s Beauty Temptation Technique was utterly ineffective on someone like me.

Yet here was a middle-aged woman far older than him trying to use hypnosis on me?

As the master of the color spectrum, I would not fall victim to nothing more than a dinky hypnotic app.

This was an absurd combination of gifts all in one.

“I will teach you the true Cloud and Rain Pleasure today, dear hero… The ultimate delight… Once experienced, you shall never… forget it…”

Just as Lady Gu lewdly approached me half-naked, I clasped her wrist tightly.

“…Lady Gu, this is not the right Cloud and Rain Pleasure.”

Where does this crazy woman think she’s touching?
