“How dare you call her stuck-up! Don’t insult Serin in front of me! Serin is the kindest person in the world!”
I couldn’t stand it when someone insulted Serin in front of me, regardless of anything else. An attack on Serin was considered an attack on me.
Serin was not only my close friend but also my teacher. She practically held a similar position to Song.
“What? Kind?”
“Yes. She’s like a celestial maiden.”
“Kyaha, kyahahaha! Say something that makes sense! How can that stuck-up bitch be kind?!”
Wei Ha-yeong laughed heartily, wiping away tears. She looked as if she had heard something truly funny.
“Stuck-up?! She was so good to me!”
What kind of experience could lead someone to insult the kind Serin?
Are you Satan’s offspring?
“Really? She was that good to you?”
“Of course!”
“No, what’s your relationship with that Jade Flower Sword to say she was good to you? Hey, tell me.”
A relationship, huh?
“What kind of relationship? Of course, we’re close friends.”
“What, friends?”
Wei Ha-yeong tilted her head.
“Yeah. Serin and I are friends.”
“Hee. You made friends? Impressive. It’s not easy for a man to become friends with a Martial World flower, is it? How did you do it?”
Thinking about it, it was a difficult feat.
“Come to think of it, it does seem difficult. The catalyst was, of course, saving her life.”
“Saving her life?”
“Haven’t you heard the rumors? About an unparalleled hero called the Demon Slayer appearing in Anhui Province.”
I puffed out my chest and straightened my posture as I spoke. I didn’t forget to deepen my voice like a hero.
“Demon Slayer? That sounds like a nickname for some evil sect leader, no matter how you look at it. They say someone like that appeared?”
Oh, man.
I thought so too.
“Evil sect leader?! That’s me!”
“What? You’re the Demon Slayer?”
“Yeah. I am the Demon Slayer.”
“Hilarious! You don’t look like it at all!”
Wei Ha-yeong burst out laughing.
“Kyahahaha!”
No, but those Beggars’ Sect guys recognized me as the Demon Slayer so easily, but is it because she’s a Taoist priest, not a martial artist? She doesn’t seem to know much about these things.
That’s why mages are…
“Stop laughing… I’m serious. Anyway, I guess some further explanation is needed. Actually, a labyrinth appeared last time…”
I explained to Wei Ha-yeong what had happened last time. The sudden appearance of the Hayagriva. The life-or-death battle. The glorious story of our eventual victory.
“So, I obtained a demon core and Seonui checked my pulse and all that. I ate the Hayagriva’s core when Seonui was checking my pulse.”
“Ah! So that’s how it was!”
Wei Ha-yeong nodded.
“Then it makes sense to be friends!”
“Right? Serin even taught me martial arts as thanks. So I performed a bowing ceremony to Serin.”
“What? So you’re friends and you serve her as your teacher?”
“Even if you’re friends, if there’s something to learn, you can always become a teacher.”
“Hmm?”
At my words, Wei Ha-yeong crossed her arms.
Her expression became quite serious.
“Your thinking is more grounded than I thought? Those are pretty good words. Indeed. Even if you’re friends, if there’s something to learn, you can serve them as a teacher.”
“Is my scholarly side showing a bit?”
“Quite a bit. Anyway, that’s how it went? You became friends with that Jade Flower Sword bitch.”
The ‘bitch’ part was a little uncomfortable.
“Alright! Then let’s be friends too!”
Suddenly, Wei Ha-yeong smiled brightly and confidently extended her hand.
Bounce, bounce!
With that vigorous movement, Mount Tai Breasts swayed greatly. I almost lost my focus to that sight, but I exercised superhuman patience and looked at Wei Ha-yeong’s small, white hand.
Maybe because she’s small?
Her hands are quite dainty and cute.
“Be friends?”
“Are you saying no? You don’t know what I’ll do to you if you refuse.”
Stop with these threats!
“Okay! Let’s be friends! You’re going to study my body anyway, so of course we should be friends!”
“Kyahaha! Yes! Good thinking! Now we’re friends!”
Squeeze.
Wei Ha-yeong grabbed my hand tightly and shook it up and down.
There wouldn’t be anything wrong with being friends. But to become friends with two of the Martial World flowers, I’m quite lucky.
“Really. Do you know how much of an honor this is? For the Calamitous Fire Hibiscus, Wei Ha-yeong, praised as the most beautiful among the Martial World Flowers, to initiate friendship and extend her hand to you… You should know how blessed you are.”
“I’m so blessed and fortunate that my hands and feet are trembling…!”
Saying so, I performed a trembling hands and feet performance.
But Serin also said she was the most beautiful, is this a passive skill for Martial World Flowers?
“Kyahaha! What’s that silly act! Anyway, since we’re friends now, let me introduce myself again! I’m the Calamitous Fire Hibiscus, Wei Ha-yeong. A stunning beauty making a name for herself as a Taoist priest of the Mosan sect. Everyone falls head over heels for me. I’m even rumored to be kind, and on top of that, in terms of martial arts, I’m at the peak master level? I’m so skilled that no one messes with me!”
How can she be so narcissistic with such sincerity?
If it were me, I’d be too embarrassed and shy to do it, but Wei Ha-yeong spoke proudly, as if all her boasts were true.
“That’s amazing.”
“And in terms of breast size, uh? I’m the best in the world.”
Saying so, Wei Ha-yeong grabbed her lower breasts and lifted them slightly…! Because of that, her breasts were emphasized, and her cleavage deepened.
“Gasp!”
I couldn’t come to my senses.
“There are even some perverted bastards who call me Mount Tai Breasts, you know? Maybe?”
“Don’t say that yourself!”
“It’s natural to reveal your flaws to your friends.”
“That’s true, but…!”
This is driving me crazy.
Wei Ha-yeong seemed nonchalant while talking about her breasts.
“Then tell me your story. I’m really curious. What are your origins?”
An expression full of interest.
“Well, my origins aren’t anything special. Just from a rural village. I came to Anhui Province to earn money. While doing so, I ended up becoming a martial artist by hunting monsters. Oh, my name is Kim Geun-hyeop.”
“Kim Geun-hyeop, uh-huh. But you’re from a rural village?”
“Yeah.”
“Hee. For that, your skin is too white, isn’t it?”
Wei Ha-yeong grabbed my hand.
“Ah.”
“And your hands are clean too. Wouldn’t it make more sense if you were from some scholar family?”
“No, that’s just my constitution. What scholar?”
“Is that so?”
She seemed a little suspicious of me, but she didn’t pry. Actually, it would be difficult for me to answer if she did.
I couldn’t say I was from another world.
“Yeah. No, but Ha-yeong, since we’re friends now, let me ask you this.”
“What?”
But I had to ask this.
“It’s a bit awkward to say this, but isn’t your attire a bit… very revealing? I’ve never seen clothes like that. How can you walk around wearing something like that?”
“You were curious about that?”
Wei Ha-yeong subtly touched her hem.
“Well, this is also a part of my training.”
“Training?”
There’s training like that?
“Men’s gazes are so lewd. And women’s gazes are filled with jealousy, aren’t they?”
“Uh… that’s true, but why are you suddenly bringing that up?”
It seemed like a slightly off-topic subject.
“To become more accustomed and sensitive to Yin and Yang energy, it’s better to experience those gazes with your body. It’s my own way of honing my Taoist power.”
“There’s such a profound reason?!”
It sounded plausible!
“Right? Even you are looking at my chest with lewd eyes right now.”
“No, that’s!”
“Don’t be shy. It’s natural. Who wouldn’t be aroused looking at this? Kuku. Well, since you’re my friend, I’ll let you look a bit more openly! Consider it an honor!”
“It’s an honor, a great honor!”
This is what friendship between friends is all about!
“Phew, so there was such a reason. Then I’ll acknowledge it. No, actually, I’m glad there’s a reason like that.”
“Why? Did you think I was just a lewd and vulgar woman, exposing Mount Tai Breasts like this?”
“T-There’s no way…!”
“Kuku. It’s written all over your face that you thought so.”
Busted.
“But even though I dress like this, there’s no woman more virtuous than me. You, my friend, shouldn’t misunderstand. Got it?”
“I won’t misunderstand again.”
So I deepened my friendship with Ha-yeong by exchanging introductions. Talking so deeply like this made it feel like we had been friends for a long time. Above all, she was sociable, so exchanging words wasn’t difficult.
With that kind of feeling, I continued the night march on the mountain path with Ha-yeong.
Walking in the dark was a little scary, but with the will-o’-the-wisps and a reliable female Taoist priest by my side, I wasn’t afraid at all.
“So, are you very close with the Jade Flower Sword?”
“We’re very close. We’re the best of friends.”
“That’s really surprising. She flatly rejects any man who approaches her.”
She does have a stern impression.
“That’s why I thought she’d be similar to me, but to suddenly have a male friend, and even a disciple… Hmm. It’s really surprising. Even if you saved her life, how did you manage to talk to a woman like that? She’s not exactly the sociable type, is she?”
The more I saw her, the more I felt that Wei Ha-yeong was very talkative.
Should I say she was chatty and honest about her feelings?
“As for how I talked to her, well, we happened to start talking, and I’m good at telling interesting stories. I started talking to her by telling her those kinds of things.”
“What? Interesting stories?”
Suddenly, Wei Ha-yeong’s eyes sparkled and she stopped walking.
Then she turned completely towards me and spoke in a tone filled with anticipation.
“What is it? Are you really good at telling interesting stories?”
“Hehehe, don’t be surprised. No one in Anhui Province can match my eloquence.”
“Really?!”
“It goes without saying. I’m a walking storybook. Want me to tell you one?”
“Yes, yes! I want to hear it! What kind of story is it?!”
“You really want me to?”
“Hurry up and tell me! I’m dying of curiosity!”
“Wow. Then I guess I have to. But there are so many stories. What kind of story do you want to hear? Choose one and I’ll tell you that one.”
“Hmm…! Hmm! What should I listen to! Ah, I can’t decide!”
Does she have a naive side?
Wei Ha-yeong, agonizing over what story to hear, looked quite cute. But still, those Mount Tai Breasts attached to her were too distracting.
She said it was okay to look, so it should be alright to look a little, right?
“Really, I don’t know what to listen to!”
She fidgeted and fussed, causing her breasts to sway…
