The Second Eunuch Regains His Manhood

140. Overwhelming

“W-wait, Saje······. No, please······. If this continues······.”

Yujinhwi squeezed her eyes shut. It was the last shred of sanity she managed to regain just before crossing the line with Saje.

Her body was still burning with heat. Her heart raced like crazy.

Instinctively, a voice whispered to her: You’re stronger than Saje. Haven’t you already revealed that you’re a woman? Use the excuse of the spring drug and seize the moment to take her. Then Saje would lose her purity to you as a man, thus making you responsible for her. It’s not like you have a choice.

‘No, I can’t do that.’

With her regained reason, Yujinhwi suppressed her desires.

‘Saje… Saje likes Geumhu······.’

That’s right.

Lee Cheol-soo had feelings for Geumhu. He had said it constantly. He even proposed publicly to Geumhu in front of the renowned figures gathered for the Orthodox Faction Competition, showing how genuine he was about his feelings.

On the other hand, Saje saw Yujinhwi merely as an older brother. Yujinhwi knew how pure Saje was. She didn’t want to forcibly tarnish the innocence of someone so pure.

‘I don’t want to tarnish Saje’s heart······.’

Yujinhwi resolved to prioritize Saje over herself for a lifetime. She couldn’t let her desires lead her to defile Saje’s body now.

Especially if those desires were merely amplified false cravings due to the spring drug.

With superhuman patience and sense, Yujinhwi kept her surging lust at bay.

Yet, the fact that her gender was exposed, combined with the intensified lust from the spring drug, persistently tormented her reason.

‘It’s out now······.’

Yujinhwi lowered her head.

Before rebuilding her faction and becoming the strongest, she had vowed not to reveal to Saje that she was a woman. She planned to confess everything when she ascended to the heavenly realm, at a point where she could no longer refuse, and take Saje as her own.

Until then, she would protect him as a reliable older brother.

But everything was falling apart. Because of the spring drug. No, perhaps there was a chance she could have avoided this. She didn’t want to. She wanted to reveal everything to Saje. Honestly, she wanted to confess.

Countless desires swirled in her heart. Especially now, feeling Saje’s body temperature made it all the more intense. Each time Saje’s hand touched her, her body ignited. She felt both her body and spirit getting soaked.

Her reason gradually faded.

So she tried to pull away.

But she couldn’t let go.

She wanted to stay close. She wanted to take him······. Suppressing her desire just barely, Yujinhwi said in a trembling voice.

“Saje······. N-no······. If you hold on to me······.”

She had to suppress it. Lady Gu said that if there was no yin-yang harmony, one could die from blood energy bursting, but Yujinhwi was Cheonmuji-che. Her constitution and bones were fundamentally different from ordinary people.

She wouldn’t reach the brink of dying from burst energy. At worst, it would only amount to needing about a week of rest to recover. Instinctively, Yujinhwi figured this out.

However, the current situation, which amplified her lust, was dangerous. She was precariously maintaining her reason. If she got any more stimulated, she feared she might completely lose that reason.

Thinking this, Yujinhwi brushed Lee Cheol-soo’s hand away and moved again.

“Why not hold on? Saje. It doesn’t matter if you’re a woman.”

Grab.

But the moment Lee Cheol-soo caught her wrist again, Yujinhwi’s faint reason disappeared completely.

Saje is a woman.

It was shocking to me at first. To find out that someone I thought was a man was actually a woman, and a stunning one at that, was enough to rattle anyone.

But the shock lasted only a moment; I quickly regained my composure. So what if Saje was a woman?

Saje seemed to feel guilty for hiding her true gender from me all this time, but I didn’t mind at all. Saje didn’t need to feel guilty about that.

No matter how much one trusts another, there are always one or two secrets one wishes to hide. Even I hadn’t revealed to the Emperor that I was a modern-day Korean. Gender could be one of those secrets for Saje.

So I was broad-minded enough to understand that. A true alpha male, a grown man should embrace a woman with an open heart.

Now was the time to comfort Saje, who was confused as a man.

As those thoughts crossed my mind and I held Saje’s wrist, telling her it was fine even if she was a woman, she spoke in a low voice.

“Saje······. It’s your······ fault······.”

My fault?

“Saje, calm down. I have the antidote to the spring drug······.”

Of course, I wasn’t just relying on feelings to hold Saje.

I was an elite agent from Dongchang. Naturally, I knew the antidote to the spring drug. Plus, Saje was a Cheonmuji-che, wasn’t she? While not entirely immune, she had some degree of drug resistance. That’s why she could maintain her sanity even after taking the spring drug.

So if I used my skills on Saje······.

Just as I was thinking that.

“Mmm?!”

Soft and tender lips covered mine. Saje’s face appeared in front of me.

It was Saje.

She had kissed me.

Wait, a kiss?!

“Mm!?”

Saje had pinned my wrist down with her inner strength, continuing the kiss.

Our lips collided. Her soft tongue slipped into my mouth.

Slurp, slurp.

Saje’s tongue played eagerly with mine, which initially felt clumsy but quickly became skilled. Our saliva and tongues intertwined.

My mind went blank. My face heated up.

A kiss, huh?

Of course, I didn’t dislike that Saje was a woman, and the most beautiful one at that. To be honest, I liked it. But I didn’t want my first kiss to be taken by someone who had lost her reason.

A kiss is a prelude to sex. Just like sex, it should be shared with someone whose heart resonates with yours. The current Saje was merely driven by primal desire. She had kissed me to relieve the boiling lust that consumed her.

So this kiss couldn’t be deemed a proper one that followed the spectrum of colors. But even if I wanted to escape, I couldn’t.

Because the master of Hwakyung was pinning me down with everything she had. Was I really going to lose my virginity here?

As despair mixed with strange anticipation trembled through my body.

Suddenly, I sensed a powerful presence approaching quickly, one that wasn’t trying to hide its existence at all.

It was a master of the Heavenly Alliance.

With great difficulty, I pulled away from her lips. A silver thread connected and then broke between us. Saje’s lips appeared exceptionally red.

“S-saje, right now······.”

“······Saje······. You were······ bad······. With your handsome looks and jade-like face······. You keep enticing me······. Making me······ bad······. I tried······ to hold back······.”

With unfocused eyes locked onto me, Saje kissed my shoulder. Smooch. She sucked on my collarbone skin.

It reminded me of the time I was bitten by a viper on Gongdong Mountain years ago. Back then, Saje had also kissed my shoulder to suck out the poison.

But right now, I wasn’t bitten by a snake. So this act stemmed from Saje’s pure lust.

“Saje······. Ugh······.”

As she repeatedly sucked and teased my collarbone with her tongue, my body began to heat up as well.

This wouldn’t do. Not like this. I also······.

Just then.

Crash!

With a loud noise, the door burst open.

And.

“What the······ is going on here?”

A familiar voice echoed. I rolled my eyes towards the shattered door.

There she was.

Though her face was obscured by a veil, one could easily guess she was a breathtaking beauty.

Yeomwang Jeoksawol.

She was looking at me and Saje.

Feeling flustered, Neungwolhyang had descended to Deungbong County after hearing Lee Cheol-soo’s calling horn purely by chance.

Being from a courtesan background, Neungwolhyang was highly skilled in Sound Techniques. There was no way she wouldn’t hear the horn if it was blown by Lee Cheol-soo.

Could it be that Lee Cheol-soo had blown the horn himself? She thought as she discarded her Neungwolhyang disguise and rushed over.

Of course, she encountered an annoying woman on the way, but it didn’t matter much.

What Neungwolhyang saw upon arriving was.

The stiffened Lady Gu, overpowered by blood energy, and the room filled with the fragrance of lust and spring drug.

And in the center, Lee Cheol-soo lay beneath an unknown half-naked woman.

Not just any woman, but one almost completely nude.

“What in the world······.”

Neungwolhyang swallowed hard. She couldn’t see the woman’s face. But she knew.

The woman who pinned down Lee Cheol-soo from behind embodied the essence of a breathtaking beauty. With a perfect body ratio, from her pear-like, appropriately sized breasts to her slender waist and luscious thighs, her ebony hair flowed smoothly.

Everything was perfect.

Being a fellow Most Beautiful in the World, Neungwolhyang instinctively recognized this fact.

The person before her was undeniably a beauty that could rival her own.

Such a Most Beautiful in the World was straddling Lee Cheol-soo.

This couldn’t be happening.

No, this must not happen.

Just as Neungwolhyang was about to say something.

Whip.

Yujinhwi turned her head. Neungwolhyang entered her vision. Yujinhwi’s inner strength pierced through the veil. Neungwolhyang’s face became vividly clear to Yujinhwi.

“Aah······.”

Yujinhwi let out a short and heated sigh.

If only······ if only just a little longer······ if that woman hadn’t come in······ I wouldn’t have been interrupted. She felt resentful. At the same time, she realized Yujinhwi’s expression and the emotional turmoil it revealed as she gazed at Lee Cheol-soo.

Everything pointed to one conclusion.

Neungwolhyang······ perhaps had feelings for Saje. Discovering this evoked a turmoil within Yujinhwi.

If it were any other woman, it wouldn’t matter, but Neungwolhyang? At her age, over sixty, could the leader of the Rogue Sect dare to harbor feelings for Saje? As the leader of the Rogue Sect, she wouldn’t approach Saje with good intentions. That seductress might toy with Saje’s feelings.

Daring to inflict harm upon Saje.

Unacceptable. No matter how much of a beauty she was, that’s all she was.

How dare such a woman.

‘How dare that courtesan covet Saje like that.’

Unacceptable. Yujinhwi felt the flames of desire surging fiercely within her.

Her eyes curled sensually. A smile of superiority graced Yujinhwi’s lips.

Even if she was a stone woman barred from bearing children, she was still younger than Neungwolhyang, who had aged beyond her prime. Youth was on her side. She didn’t lack in beauty either. A stone woman had no right to become Saje’s wife. But as a mistress? An affair was perfectly feasible.

Therefore, she had to show off here.

That her bond with Saje was solid and unbreakable enough to be unaffected by a mere courtesan.

Furthermore, for some reason, Neungwolhyang bore a resemblance to that bothersome Yujinhwi, making her even more detestable.

Yujinhwi shifted her gaze back to Lee Cheol-soo.

My Saje. My very own Saje. I wouldn’t let that seductress, or even an outdated spirit, take him away. So then.

“Gaga. Please take a look at the girl.”

Yujinhwi’s voice spilled forth sensually. Her gaze shifted provocatively. The moment Lee Cheol-soo looked surprised at the unfamiliar address,

Chu.

Yujinhwi’s lips once again covered Lee Cheol-soo’s.

Neungwolhyang’s face behind the veil turned pale.
