EP.236 Payment Is Taken in Women (1) 

The righteous sect, the demonic sect, and an outsider what a strange combination to arrive in Shanxi Province. 

Even in a changed world, China’s vastness hasn’t changed at all. 

My body ached everywhere from the long journey. 

Still, after many twists and turns, we finally arrived in Shanxi. 

I thought we could rest here and then head straight to Beijing… 

“They’ve blocked the road again?” 

“Yes, the road to Beijing is closed for now.” 

So, they know I’m coming? 

Every time I try to go, there’s a blockade. It’s frustrating. 

Should I just ignore it and charge through? 

No, that would be suicide. 

Not all my opponents are women, and considering that guy is monopolizing men, 

it’s clear there will be male experts blocking my way. 

It’s a bit of a pushy idea, but for now, let’s wait here safely and see how things develop. 

Right, giga-Chad? 

“Let’s find a place to stay first.” 

“Let’s pick somewhere spacious and nice if we can. You’re okay with that, Gayoun?” 

“I don’t care if it’s a chicken coop.” 

Gayoun, the Sword Ghost, laughed boldly at my question. 

Her skin, originally purple as a jiangshi, 

had returned to a living human tone after taking in life force beyond common sense. 

She still had all the traits of a jiangshi, 

but now looked like a beautiful cat-faced woman  

though a white tiger, not a housecat, so still scary. 

“Hey, ladies over there.” 

“Tch.” 

A sleazy voice called from behind. 

Turning around, I saw a group of thuggish-looking men with leering smiles. 

“Looks like you’re short on men. Mind if we join you?” 

“Your lower halves look weak. Can you even perform as men?” 

“Hah, just wait until you see!” 

The leader dropped his pants, revealing his fully erect cock. 

It was the first time I’d seen a man able to get hard since coming to China. 

But our reaction was… 

“How cute.” 

“W-what?” 

Hwayeon laughed as if it was pathetic. 

The man bristled, but unfortunately for him, 

he was up against the best of the best  

the Sword Ghost and the Mount Hua Sect master. 

Did he think he could scare us with a glare? 

“Hey, you. You think you can approach us with that tiny thing? Dream on.” 

“My… my thing is tiny?” 

“Yeah, it’s not even a foot long. Why are you talking so big?” 

A foot, huh. 

My cock is well over 33 cm, after all. 

“Don’t be ridiculous! Over a foot? There’s no such cock!” 

“Oh, there is. Right here!” 

“Huh?” 

While I was lost in thought, 

Gayoun yanked down my pants without warning. 

My cock, hidden until now, sprang up, 

showing off its impressive presence. 

The first to react were, of course, 

the thugs who’d been showing off their own cocks. 

“Ugh! That actually exists?” 

“See? So get lost with your tiny thing.” 

“If you want to handle us, you need at least this much.” 

“Grr! Just you wait!” 

Their confidence deflated, the thugs slunk away, 

their erections gone, and we all snickered at them. 

I was glad the situation ended easily, 

but Gayoun, why are you pulling down my pants? 

What am I, some kind of cock king? 

Did you think there’d be a dramatic effect if you exposed it? 

“Don’t do that again.” 

“What’s the big deal? It’s not like it’ll wear out.” 

She wasn’t wrong. 

In a normal world, my reputation would be ruined, 

but in this common sense-altered world, 

nobody cares if you drop your pants. 

Back in Korea or Japan, people even said I shouldn’t wear pants at all  

my cock is a national treasure, or so they said. 

‘The first time I heard that, I was so dumbfounded my face froze.’ 

With so many complaints, 

I even had to do a nude photo shoot. 

Now, everyone knows my face and my cock. 

Still, this is this, and that is that. 

“If you do it again, I won’t go easy on you.” 

“…” 

Gayoun turned pale, even more so than when she was a jiangshi. 

That should be enough let’s go find a place to stay. 

As I led the way, 

suddenly a trumpet sounded and the area became noisy. 

‘What’s going on?’ 

“Master, I think that woman’s here.” 

‘That woman? No way…!’ 

I quickly hid among the crowd 

and caught a glimpse of the Sex Demon as she passed by. 

It was her the one who asked if I wanted to be her plaything. 

I never thought I’d meet her here, and up close, she was even more imposing. 

But her expression didn’t look too happy. 

‘Did something happen?’ 

Well, it’s none of my business. 

Before she spotted me, I hurried away to rejoin my group. 

Thankfully, nothing had happened while I was gone, 

and everyone greeted me calmly. 

“You’re back. Let’s find a place to stay.” 

“Let’s not get several rooms just rent a big one.” 

“I agree.” 

That was my plan too. 

If we weren’t close, two rooms would be better, 

but we’re not exactly distant, are we? 

We’re going to get wild in the room anyway  

one big room is cheaper and better. 

“Shall we go?” 

“Let’s.” 

After searching, we found the best-known inn in town. 

It was nearly 20 stories tall, 

gilded on the outside and shining brilliantly. 

The first floor was like a tavern, selling food and drink, 

so we didn’t need to go far for meals. 

“Your room is the White Tiger Suite…♥. Oooh♥!” 

Viewwwwwut! Splurt! Splurt! Splurt! 

Of course, I paid for the room with semen. 

It seems like you can solve everything with semen, 

but in reality, it’s too much trouble to use often. 

It’s like paying for tteokbokki with a 100 million won check. 

If you pay with semen at a small place, 

they’ll try to give you the whole shop or even their daughter, 

so usually, it’s best to use money. 

That’s why you can only do this at expensive places. 

‘Well, let’s go up and…’ 

“Huh?” 

A startled voice from behind. 

Did something happen again? 

I turned around anxiously. 

“Sorry for dropping by suddenly. Do you have any rooms?” 

‘Why is she here!’ 

The Sex Demon, who should be heading to Beijing, 

showed up at our inn. 

Did she come because she knew I was here? 

I tried to hide behind my companions and eavesdropped on her conversation with the owner. 

“O-of course! If the Sex Demon wants to stay, we’ll make a room even if we don’t have one!” 

“No need for that. I changed my plans suddenly.” 

She spoke politely. 

Maybe it was just a whim she didn’t seem to know I was here. 

Still, there’s no benefit to staying around, 

so we headed up to our White Tiger Suite. 

“May I ask what’s your relationship with the Sex Demon?” 

As soon as we entered the suite, 

Hwayeon asked me cautiously. 

Yeah, it’s not right to keep hiding it. 

I answered honestly. 

“She’s a fated rival I’ll have to fight someday.” 

“Is it evening already?” 

“Oooh♥! Ohh♥!” 

“I can’t take any more…♥.” 

“Master, you’re truly…♥. So virile♥.” 

After going at it like crazy, 

the sky was dyed red with sunset. 

I wanted to eat with everyone, 

but they looked too exhausted, so I went alone. 

I quietly went down to the first floor, 

sat in a corner, and ordered food. 

Just then, the Sex Demon and her group came down. 

‘Did she spot me?’ 

No, probably not. 

If she had, she’d have approached already. 

The Sex Demon sat at the big round table in the center, 

quietly savoring her food, 

while her companions chattered loudly, clearly in high spirits. 

“You’re truly the future of the martial world, Sex Demon!” 

“Indeed! Well said for once.” 

“There’s no martial world without the Sex Demon.” 

Not subordinates, just sycophants. 

They praised her as if their lives depended on it. 

She didn’t seem to mind, 

her lips curling up behind her teacup. 

“Your food is here.” 

“…” 

I nodded slightly and tipped generously, 

hoping not to draw attention. 

Best to just get through this quietly. 

“If only Master could see this, she’d be so happy.” 

“Sex Demon…” 

Master? 

That word piqued my interest. 

Was it related to her recent travels? 

I kept eating, barely tasting the food, 

focused on their conversation. 

“It was a false lead again, but keep gathering information.” 

“Yes!” 

“And enough with the gloomy talk. Enjoy yourselves.” 

She doesn’t seem so bad when you see her like this, 

but in reality, she’s as much a villain as I am. 

You can’t rule in this world without being one. 

‘Still, the food’s good.’ 

Even while listening in, I enjoyed the meal. 

At least I won’t have to worry about finding a restaurant for a while. 

After clearing my plate, a server brought a fortune cookie. 

‘They have fortune cookies in the martial world? Huh…’ 

I cracked it open and read the message inside. 

A chill ran down my spine. 

 When the moon is overhead, meet me on the rooftop.  

“Who sent this?” 

“…” 

The server said nothing. 

Probably couldn’t, or she’d lose her life. 

‘Ha! So you knew all along…’ 

I turned around boldly, 

and the Sex Demon at the central table waved at me. 

She’d known I was here the whole time. 

When the appointed time came, 

I went up to the rooftop. 

The Sex Demon was waiting, 

completely naked. 

“Welcome to China. Have you decided to be my plaything?” 

“Cut the nonsense.” 

She didn’t seem to want to fight right now. 

If she’d wanted to attack, she’d have done it while I was eating alone, 

not called me up here. 

What’s her real aim, calling her enemy here? 

“I’m not here to fight you now, bread boy.” 

“You say that, but you’re getting on my nerves, you damn chink.” 

I readied myself to draw my sword, 

but she just smiled, unfazed. 

She’s no ordinary woman  

if we fought, I’d only have a 30% chance of winning, maybe 15% realistically. 

“Oh, I never told you my name. I’m called the Sex Demon now, but my real name is Shaoling.” 

“…Kim Jinwoo.” 

That’s all I’ll tell you. 

She repeated my name a few times, 

then smiled, apparently pleased. 

“Alright, shall we talk?” 

“I don’t have much to say.” 

“It’s not bad news for you.” 

She crossed her legs and continued. 

“I’ll give you the Russian representative and Russia’s territory.” 

“What’s your aim?” 

“I’d like to say ‘you’… but you’d never accept that.” 

Shaoling sighed, then looked at me coldly. 

“Find my master.” 

“Your master?” 

Is this related to what I overheard before? 

She smiled, as if amused by my reaction. 

“My master is the one who made me who I am. But she left, saying I wasn’t worthy.” 

“What will you do if you find her?” 

It’s not really my business, 

but I had a bad feeling and couldn’t just ignore it. 

She hesitated, then smiled wickedly. 

“Isn’t it obvious? I’ll kill her to prove I’m right.” 

“So you want me to be an accessory to murder?” 

“No, it’s not your concern. The killing will be done by my hand alone.” 

But you want me to deliver her to you. 

How is that not being an accomplice? 

I glared at her, 

and she dropped her smile, speaking seriously. 

“I only need China. Complete my request, then leave China with the Russian representative.” 

“I could go along for now, but we’ll have to fight eventually.” 

“We’ll fight when the time comes. No need to do it now.” 

Is she just that confident, 

or content to stay as things are? 

Either way, it’s not an appealing offer. 

Even if I’m not the one killing, I’d still be helping her. 

But refusing here would be dangerous. 

If I said no, who knows what would happen right now? 

‘If I were alone, maybe… but not now.’ 

There are already people nearby who seem to be her subordinates. 

If a fight broke out, I’d have to face them alone. 

That’s too risky. 

“Fine. I’ll accept for now.” 

“Knew you were reasonable. Here’s your advance payment.” 

Shaoling reached out, 

and a woman with platinum blonde hair, clearly out of place in the martial world, collapsed out of nowhere. 

Shaoling proudly presented her. 

“This is your advance payment, the Russian representative Anastasia. Don’t hesitate to take her.”
