Emperor's Sword [EN]: Chapter 9

10. Who is She?

Srrr.

The door opened. The blurry outline in the darkness was definitely a woman. Pa Cheon squinted, but the darkness was nothing to him. Oh, no! That woman is…! He quickly closed his eyes again, pretending to be asleep. He had a hard time maintaining a steady breathing because of it. His mouth was filling with saliva due to the tension, making it quite awkward.

She quietly walked over and stood by Pa Cheon’s bed. She looked down at him silently, then took a step back. And then, the sounds came.

Rustle.

Thud.

[This is driving me crazy. What is she doing?]

-Hehe, why don’t you know? We’re getting a free ride thanks to the magistrate, so let’s have some fun too.

=Amitabha, what is happening? Please send the female benefactor away quickly.

Hye-neung’s voice was trembling. It was clear how flustered he was.

She placed a hand on the bed and leaned down, naturally placing herself on the bed. In that instant, Pa Cheon couldn’t decide what to do. Should he pretend to wake up? Or should he stay still? Neither made sense. A peerless master like Pa Cheon couldn’t possibly be unaware of an intruder, especially one who came so close. The other person must know that too, which is why she was acting so boldly!

Squish.

The sensation of bare skin brushing against him made Pa Cheon’s nerve cells tingle, and he flinched involuntarily. Immediately, her lips crashed down on his!

The sensation of her moist lips sent shivers down his spine. Her tongue forced its way into his mouth.

“Umm.”

He tossed and turned, rolling over to the other side. But the woman stubbornly kept her lips pressed against his, not letting go. This caused him to flip over onto his back on the bed…

-Ooh-hoo-hoo, this is great…

=Amitabha, Amitabha.

Hye-neung was just chanting Buddha’s name repeatedly.

Is she crazy? Why is she so persistent! He flipped his body this way and that several times, but she still wouldn’t let go. Now she was being very blatant. She slipped her hand inside Pa Cheon’s chest and grabbed the back of his neck with the other!

Eventually, she was straddling Pa Cheon, her curves pressing against him. She was skilled. Her lips seemed to be sucking everything out of Pa Cheon, and her hands were constantly working to remove his clothes. At this point, Pa Cheon was getting desperate. He had to make a decision quickly. Either he should try to reason with her and send her away, or he should be more proactive… While he was hesitating, Yun-mun’s clothes were almost completely off, with only his undergarments remaining.

-Wow, that girl is something else. Ah-ha-ha.

=Amitabha, benefactor, what are you doing? Amitabha, please make a decision quickly.

He almost got carried away by her. Hey, this won’t do. I have my pride, too. He grabbed her hands tightly with both of his. Only then did her lips finally release him!

“Miss, what on earth do you think you’re doing?”

What do I think I’m doing? Just having some fun…

“Young master! From the moment I first saw you… I was afraid I would lose you if I didn’t take the initiative. I’m sorry.”

Sorry? More like audacious.

“No, I’m not scolding you for your actions. I’m just a bit flustered because it was so unexpected.”

Still straddling Pa Cheon, she looked down at his face and gently pulled her hands from his. Then, she began to caress his face.

“Hehe, young master, you’re so handsome and charming. Please don’t think I’m vulgar for acting this way. I’m just more honest than others. Well, if you don’t want me, there’s nothing I can do, but if that’s not the case, don’t stop me.”

“Hmm.”

Temptation was flooding in like a river, and the waves of conflict were clouding his mind. Ah, what should he do? He had wanted to live like a noble crane.

Stop kidding yourself.

-Hey, Pa Cheon, why are you hesitating? Just finish it quickly!

=Please, benefactor, I beg you, please reason with her and send her away. Amitab…bha.

[Quiet, you two. Tsk, it’s a shame, but not today. Is today the only day? If I give in too easily, she might look down on me, so I’ll send her away for now.]

“Well, Miss, this is not the way to go about things, so please go back. It’s not that I want to be harsh with you, but I will accept your feelings… Now, get up, get dressed, and go back. Just for today.”

He swallowed the words, ‘Isn’t today the day?’

“Now, hurry.”

He patted her bottom. But she didn’t seem to mind, snuggling into him and speaking in a nasal voice.

“Hehe, okay, I’ll go back for today. But don’t think I’ve given up on you. I will never let you go.”

Oh, my, she’s so cute. Yes, yes, I’d be grateful if you did.

She got off the bed and boldly put on her clothes in front of him. Pa Cheon stared wide-eyed, watching her.

-You idiot! You’re cutting off a pumpkin that rolled right into your lap. Are you crazy?

=Amitabha, benefactor, please turn your head. I’m… em… barrassed.

-Stop kidding yourself. You saw everything, felt everything, and now you’re acting like this. Hey, Hye-neung, if you’re a noble monk, you should be as unmoved by a woman as a stone. You’re making such a fuss just because you saw a woman’s skin… Did you even train properly?

=Ugh… um.

Having finished dressing, the young lady bowed her head slightly and kissed Pa Cheon on the cheek.

“Hehe, then sleep well. I’ll be going now. Bye-bye.”

Bye-bye? Good grief… But is this okay? If that guy finds out, he won’t let it slide.

“Goodbye, Miss. And you sleep well too. I won’t see you out.”

Her back as she walked away was so cute. The way she swayed her hips was so sensual.

Ugh, what have I done? Ugh, you crazy idiot!

As soon as she opened the door and left, he grabbed his hair in anguish.

“I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight… Should I just barge into her room? No, no, I have to be patient, I have to be patient.”

★ Pa Cheon was leaving the room. It was past the hour of myo [5-7 AM], but it was still dark outside. Using the ‘Thousand-Mile Hearing Technique’ [a technique to hear sounds from far away], he confirmed that there were no signs of people as soon as he crossed the inn’s wall. Then, he began to use the extreme ‘Heavenly Demon Flight Technique’ [a high-level movement technique].

In the eastern outskirts of Gaebong-bu, there was a large Guan Yu Temple [a temple dedicated to the deified general Guan Yu]. This was the headquarters of the Beggars’ Union, with over 100,000 members throughout the Central Plains. One of the iron rules of the martial world was not to make enemies with the Beggars’ Union. This was not only because of their sheer numbers, but also because making enemies with them meant becoming an enemy of the entire martial world. The beggars were the epitome of chivalry, and their connections spanned the entire martial world. There wasn’t a single martial arts sect or martial artist who hadn’t received help from the Beggars’ Union at least once. That’s how significant they were in the martial world. However, compared to that, the security of the Guan Yu Temple, the headquarters, seemed lax. It seemed too small to be the headquarters of 100,000 beggars. But that was a misconception! The Guan Yu Temple was just the visible part. Their headquarters was located underground, with a massive scale of 900 stone chambers. Over 5,000 people resided in this headquarters, so what more could be said?

Pa Cheon appeared there. He still had his hands behind his back, looking as relaxed as if he were out for a stroll. He was walking straight towards the Guan Yu Temple. The sun hadn’t risen yet, so it was still dim. Occasionally, a gentle breeze tickled his nose, and the low-lying grass swayed.

“Halt.”

They were beggars with one or two knots on their belts. Their appearance was clearly that of beggars, but their eyes shone with brilliance and dignity. It was truly impressive. Originally, the Beggars’ Union used the number of sacks they carried on their backs to indicate their status, but the former union leader, Gae Wang, changed the rules. The former union leader, finding it too cumbersome, had them use knots on their belts to indicate their status 20 years ago. A disciple with three knots was at least a branch leader. But this was the headquarters of the Beggars’ Union! There were no beggars with one knot or no knots at all.

“Who are you? What business do you have here?”

It was a polite but strict question.

“I am Mun-yun. I have come to see Gae Wang, the former union leader of the Beggars’ Union, Poong Cheon-ho.”

He answered politely.

“Mun… Mun-yun, you say? Are you perhaps the Jade-Faced Divine Dragon, Great Hero Mun-yun?”

Jade-Faced Divine Dragon? When did I get a nickname I didn’t know about?

“I am Mun-yun, but I have never heard of the nickname Jade-Faced Divine Dragon.”

“Are you perhaps the one who had a conflict with the Northern Sword Society at the Junghwa Restaurant yesterday…?”

“Hmm, that is correct.”

“Ah… I see. Welcome. It is an honor to have the Jade-Faced Divine Dragon visit our union.”

He was bewildered, not knowing what was going on, but as he could see, the news of what happened at the Junghwa Restaurant last night had spread quickly throughout Gaebong-bu, and those who had witnessed his amazing power did not hesitate to call him the Jade-Faced Divine Dragon. The Beggars’ Union was the fastest to receive such news, so it was natural that they knew about yesterday’s events.

“But why is the Supreme Union Leader…?”

He pulled out a small token from his neck and handed it over.

“Give this to Gae Wang. Then he will know why I have come.”

“Yes, is that so? Please come inside and wait. I will deliver it to the Supreme Union Leader as quickly as possible.”

He was immediately guided to their reception room. He couldn’t hide his surprise as he followed them. There were truly amazing mechanisms installed everywhere, and there was strict security at every step. Due to the structure of this place, even a small number of people could effectively defend against a large number of enemies.

The barren room, devoid of any interior decoration, contained only a table, two chairs, and a tea set. He waited there leisurely for news. Given their system, it would probably take a considerable amount of time to reach the Supreme Union Leader, so he waited patiently. Had three gaks [a unit of time, approximately 15 minutes] passed?

Bang!

The door burst open as if it would break, and someone entered. It was an old man. His hair was completely white, and he had a rope made of kudzu vine wrapped around his head. He had ten knots on his belt. He was none other than Poong Cheon-ho, the Supreme Union Leader of the Beggars’ Union, Gae Wang. His face was full of wrinkles, and there were age spots here and there. His nose was crooked, and his mouth was thick, making him look like a kind person. As soon as he entered the room, his face was twitching. And then, the words came out carefully.

“Are you the one who brought this token…?”

“Yes, I am.”
