NOVEL NEXT Chapter 141
“Ugh! I feel like I’m dying!”
The burdened porters, Miho Yo, shouted while crying.
“Just hang in there. We’re almost there.”
“Ugh!”
It might be a bit rough, but this is exactly what Miho Yo needs to do—it’s not just some kind of punishment for this arrogant, man-eating demon; it’s an education.
Since this jerk has already turned us into dog food before, we need to wring some good use out of him. After all, a Gumiho delivered this subordinate directly, so we’ve got to make good use of him.
“Oh, is it tough? Miho Yo. Are you struggling right now?”
“N-no! Not at all!”
“If it’s hard, just say so. I’ll carry it for you. Okay?”
“I’m fine…!”
With the two seniors terrifyingly hounding her, the house finally came into view from a distance. They had finally arrived home.
So good.
It felt just like when you see the barracks during military marches back in the day—finally arriving home.
“Lord Commander!”
“The Commander has returned!”
“Open the door!”
As soon as we crossed the castle gate, our subordinates welcomed us. This is the thrill of raising subordinates! How could they immediately know and welcome us as soon as we arrive?
“Miho Yo. Transfer the goods.”
“These are!”
The subordinates took the loot. Their eyes widened as soon as they received it.
“Whoa!”
Let’s discuss the details back at headquarters. There’s no time to waste. We handed off the burden to our subordinates and headed to the conference room.
“The Commander has returned!”
“Wow, Jeopalgi! You finally made it! But what are those!”
“I brought back the heads and loot of the Martial Force of the Pig.”
“No way!”
Under my order, the head minister dumped the loot onto the parade ground. Along with the heads of the Pig Clan, their belongings came out too. And when the war weapons, the Moonblades, appeared, the subordinates exclaimed in awe.
“This is insane! You completely wiped out the Martial Force of the Pig! How could you do this?!”
“It’s a natural outcome for us. And among them is the Pig Captain. I slayed him without mercy.”
“Ahhh!”
The news of capturing the Pig Captain made the head minister faint.
“Ah, but Head Minister, it’s best to report the Moonblade to the authorities quickly. It’s a war weapon, and it would raise suspicion if we keep it.”
“Understood. I will inform headquarters at once. Being in possession of such a thing could lead one to be labeled a traitor.”
“Hehehe, the sooner it’s handled, the better. Then, have the kids neatly organize the heads of the Pig Clan. It’s our achievement, after all. Make sure to promote it well.”
“Leave it to me!”
After giving work instructions to the head minister, I started to unpack. I must have worked really hard because I’m utterly exhausted.
“Wow! So this is the conference room?”
Mo Yongmiu, who suddenly got to see the conference room, exclaimed.
“What do you think?”
“It’s amazing. To think you’ve created a sect with such a level already. How is it even possible?”
“I just seized the opportunity.”
“Of course, capitalizing on an opportunity and growing from it is also a skill.”
“Hehehe, exactly.”
Even if there’s an opportunity, if you lack the drive and guts to use it, you can’t achieve anything. Of course, if I were alone, I wouldn’t have managed it. It became possible because heroes gathered around me.
“But honestly, there’s nothing to see in the conference room yet. Mo Yongmiu, do you think you could find some lodging nearby? We should just rest and recover while gathering news about other warriors.”
“Ah, thank you. You really care.”
“You’re the hero who wields a sword for the people. It’s only natural to help.”
“Th-that’s a bit much…”
How shy.
But I think rumors will spread. Mo Yongmiu is also one of the famous figures from the Martial Arts History. Simply stepping into the street will draw attention.
I wonder if our town will become famous as a flower shop because of this.
After arranging for Mo Yongmiu’s stay, I returned to our lodgings.
“Wow! I really put in a lot of effort this time! I’m sooooo tired!”
“You did work hard… Geunhyeop. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. In fact, I feel like I have more energy than ever.”
I want to test the performance of the Twin Blades right away. Not to mention, I want to try Donmu’s special cuisine too.
To think I’ll have the delicacy of a demon commander on the level of an underground overlord. This must be the best I’ve ever had.
I wonder what kind of changes will happen?
“Hayoung, shall we try some special cuisine now?”
“How long have we been here that you’re already jumping to eat? Shouldn’t we rest for a day or so?”
“That’s true, but I can’t hold back anymore! I really want to eat!”
“Sigh.”
With an exasperated sigh, Hayoung pulled out a special box from between her bosom.
“What can we do? If you’re craving it, I guess we’ll have to give it to you.”
“I have no choice. I’ll serve you.”
“Alright!”
I immediately took the special cuisine from the box and sat on the floor.
“Whoa.”
The special cuisine had a slightly unpleasant flesh color. It looked just like the skin of those pig people, almost like some sort of meat dumpling.
“It really has a strong energy. Even in this state, I can feel it. You better prepare yourself to eat.”
“I will.”
Even I can see that this delicacy has a very strong essence.
But who am I?
I’m a professional delicacy consumer who’s been steadily eating this special cuisine. I’ve gotten so accustomed to it that there should be no problem accepting it.
“I’m eating!”
Without hesitation, I put Donmu’s delicacy into my mouth.
“…!”
It’s incredibly powerful.
That hot and intense energy streams into my internal energy and starts pouring into my dantians. My mind feels faint. Soon, I found myself in the borderland between dreams and reality, sensing my consciousness.
* * *
Within that consciousness, I was a robust ancient general.
Clad in old armor, wielding a sword that was no more than a relic in this era, I shouted to boost my subordinates’ morale and advanced to the battlefield.
Who or what is our opponent?
Are we facing humans from an enemy nation? I had a fleeting thought, but no. There are no humans in sight on that side. All I can see are demons.
A rider bearing the flag of the Demon King, Chiyou, gallops toward me. As a general, I slice him down and tear the flag before charging forward.
But whose command am I under?
Suddenly having that thought, I turned my head to look behind me.
On that high cliff stood celestial beings. As they waved their palm leaves, the army moved.
This was the battlefield of the heavens.
I locked eyes with one of the women among them.
She had black hair…
* * *
I felt dynamic energy surging within me.
“Whoa!”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I sprang up. I lightly pushed my waist up and immediately stood firm on my two feet.
“Ah!”
The two women gasped in surprise and looked at me.
“Geunhyeop?!”
“What is it!”
I stood still, feeling the changes within my body.
First of all, my internal energy had increased drastically. About 50%? This means my combat endurance has also increased by around 50%. However, internal energy isn’t the most important part.
“I feel so powerful.”
It feels like the power of the Pig Clan is brimming within me, overflowing.
I can intensely feel the enhancement in my strength and stamina.
“This is great.”
“Did you say you feel powerful? Are you saying Donmu’s delicacy has boosted your strength?!”
“That’s right. Serin, wait a moment.”
“What? Ahhh!”
I effortlessly lifted Serin.
“You’ve gotten lighter!”
“Ahhh!”
Serin felt so light. I had no trouble before, but now it’s even easier. Furthermore, it seems my endurance has increased, as I could repeat lifting her more times.
“My strength has truly skyrocketed, Geunhyeop! Please put me down! I’m embarrassed!”
“Put you down?”
But… it’s not just my strength that’s increased.
I suddenly felt an intense desire for pleasure arise within me. So strong that I wanted to throw Serin onto the bed and climb on top of her to indulge myself right then and there.
“Geunhyeop…?”
Ever since I consumed Donmu’s delicacy, I frequently felt strong urges like this. But this isn’t just that—this is something else entirely.
It’s become even stronger.
To a craving level.
“Serin, I think I might be experiencing some side effects of having eaten the delicacy.”
“Side effects?!”
“What side effects?!”
Hayoung’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I’m not sure about the details. But right now… I have this overwhelming thought of wanting to experience pleasure. It’s far beyond what I felt before.”
It’s hard to restrain myself. Heat rises within me, and the urge to unleash it floods my senses.
“I’m feeling these impulses rising.”
“No way!”
Hayoung shouted.
“The tendencies of the Pig Clan! The ones from the Martial Force of the Pig reside in the Palace of Pleasure! Jeopalgi represents greed and pleasure! Maybe those traits were absorbed through the delicacy!”
“So you’re saying Geunhyeop has started to desire pleasure like a demon?!”
“From what you’re saying, it sounds that way! And, it seems like… well, look how excited you are already!”
“Ah!”
They looked so flustered.
The two women turned red and cautiously spoke.
“Geunhyeop… has it really become hard to hold back? Does that urge spring forth uncontrollably?”
“Honestly, yes. The impulses are far stronger than before. I feel like I’m going crazy wanting to release it right now.”
“…”
The subordinates of Jeopalgi.
It was said the Pig Clan residing in the Palace of Pleasure indulges in their desires to live in pleasure. Has such a trait been transmitted to me?
Serin looked at me and nodded gravely.
“I guess there’s no choice. As your wife, I will have to fulfill my duties. For now, I will help you calm this down. If it doesn’t resolve afterward, then we’ll think of measures.”
“Wait a moment! Don’t pull me in…! No, what are you trying to rub against…! Don’t keep moving your hips like that!”
I pulled both women into an embrace, grinding my hips against them like a randy puppy. My desires grew stronger by the second.
* * *
“Those creatures are relentless.”
Thunderous sounds echoed from within the room. Those males and females were entwined without shame, focused on their actions.
Sounds of moisture, flesh colliding, and the breathless screams of women filled the air. Pleas for mercy, desperate gasps, could all be heard.
“Is it that amusing?”
To Miho Yo, who hadn’t experienced such a phase yet, it was just a waste of time—a mere plaything.
“Well, as long as it benefits me, I can’t complain.”
If those idiots are having their fun like that, no annoying orders are likely to come my way, so it’s quite convenient. With no one to interrupt, I can indulge myself in the feast.
Just as I thought to step out, a guest arrived.
Without any suspicion, Miho Yo opened the door.
“Oh, it’s you, Miho Yo.”
“And you are?”
The visitor was Mo Yongmiu.
“I came by since I heard everyone was living here. I have something to discuss regarding this incident… Hmm?”
Mid-sentence, a sudden loud noise caught her attention, as if she were now focused on it.
From the other room came an incredible sound.
“Ah.”
