The cold atmosphere of the morning banquet showed no signs of recovery as time passed. Being in that environment gradually diminished his appetite. Intending to let at least the retainers eat comfortably, Ayra rose early and left the banquet hall first. As he walked along with heavy steps, he called up the quest window.

Botello's gaze trembled with fear as he looked at the freshly awakened Pebble resting on Ayra's hand.
"C-cute."
Although it was the cutest looking artificial life form Ayra had ever created, with no tentacles, just two normal eyes, and only one mouth, Botello couldn't quite look at Pebble properly. He was clearly just agreeing out of respect for the soon-to-be lord.

Cheong-ra gave up trying to stop them, as it didn't seem like they would refrain from drinking even if he told them not to. Instead, he pointed at the still steaming food and asked,
"Where on earth did you get this food from?"
"You'll soon be locked up in the Hall of Repentance, so how could your last meal be something like grass?"
Saying this, Dang Ran-yeong placed an especially greasy and large piece of meat on Cheong-ra's plate. Cheong-r...

Dang Ran-yeong removed Cheong-ra's gag. As soon as he did, Cheong-ra demanded,
"Ha... Now that we've arrived, please untie this, Young Master Dang."
"It's still a bit too early to untie you. We came in with the excuse that your mind is unstable, so wouldn't it be strange to leave you free?"
"You just want to torment me!"
Dang Ran-yeong caressed Cheong-ra's cheek as if he found his defiance quite cute, then tilted a water container to ...

"No! That man!"
"How dare a defrocked monk come to the main temple!"
The monks were outraged to a degree incomparable to their reaction to Dang Ran-yeong. A defrocked monk wasn't simply someone who had made a mistake. It was a sinner among sinners who had severely violated the full precepts and could never become a monk again. For them, the situation of an expelled person setting foot in Shaolin again was unimaginable.

As he started rubbing the soft cloth back and forth again, Cheong-ra's chest rose and fell rapidly. As his head jerked back, blue veins stood out on his exposed neck. The pleasure that sparked and crackled cruelly slashed through his lower body.
"...Hu, ...! Uh, mmph!"
His vision grew dizzyingly distant. Some unknown fluid leaked from his heated urethra, endlessly soaking the soft cloth. The thoroughly wet cloth wrapped around the glans more and ...

Clear fluid dripped from the urethra again. Dang Ran-yeong's index finger finely rubbed and poked the urethra several times. As a chilling pleasure surged, sparks flew before Cheong-ra's eyes. His buttocks tensed up tightly. His waist had been undulating for a while, desperate to go somehow.
Just a little more, a little more... Cheong-ra focused on the sensation between his legs, his gag soaked with saliva. However, just before climax, the twitching ur...

"Lord Dang, but this humble monk is a defrocked monk. Aren't you also seen as an enemy by the disciples of the main temple? There's no way the two of us can pass through the main gate without resistance."
"Yes, I know that well too. If hundreds of monks come rushing at me, what can I do?"
Dang Ran-yeong joked, pointing to Cheong-ra who was gulping down tea.

While Nam Gang-ryong was responding that it was truly fortunate, Dang Ran-yeong just watched intently with his arms crossed. Cheong-ra continued to chatter as something else occurred to him.

The versatility of all magic varied tremendously depending on its proficiency level. Once new stat categories were unlocked, it would be easier to determine exactly what one’s ability was.

When Ayra raised his trembling gaze, it seemed Shinjae couldn't see this notification window. To confirm more clearly, Ayra pointed to the empty space where Shinjae's stat window was floating.

Shinjae's waving hand passed through the stat window. His gaze reflexively turned to look beyond the stat window. Ayra watche...

While turning the pages, two old letters fell out from between the pages of the book. Upon picking them up and reading them, he found they were from Yeon Jeok-san's master to his disciple.
"Yeon Jeok-san, now that you have finished your training, go to Hubei. You must live up to this master's expectations as soon as possible."
Cheong-ra recalled Yeon Jeok-san being engrossed in martial arts competitions in Hubei at that time. So he had gone to Hu...

Throughout the carriage ride, Cheong-ra subtly probed Yeon Jeok-san. He was most curious about "that Mun-ga fellow" who could supposedly remove the Demon Soul Insects, but he didn't ask for fear of arousing suspicion. Whether satisfied with Cheong-ra's obedience or completely trusting in the Demon Soul Insects, Yeon Jeok-san inadvertently revealed a piece of information.

"Y-yes, of course. You've always liked to keep your body clean, Cheong-ra."
Yeon Jeok-san, coming to his senses, returned with an anxious face, worried about Dang Ran-yeong's pursuit. He quickly walked to the wooden tub, muttering again,
"Besides, we needed to wash you anyway in case there's tracking incense on you."
Wash him? Did that mean he wasn't going to wash alone...? Although he had bathed with his martial brothers and peers several ...

Yeon Jeok-san stopped at a secluded place after running for a while. Though he knew they should keep fleeing, he was visibly excited, unable to contain his joy at achieving what he had wanted. When he reached out his hand, Cheong-ra flinched reflexively. While inwardly feeling dismayed, Yeon Jeok-san seemed to think this was natural and took out an instrument from his bosom.

Dang Ran-yeong's expression remained unchanged even with the dagger stuck in his abdomen. In reality, this level of injury or pain didn't bother him at all. Since the objective of stabbing had been achieved, he even gently caressed the cheek of his opponent who stood motionless. Watching this, Yeon Jeok-san's expression crumbled. Then it burned with extreme hatred.

His anger was so intense that he suddenly coughed ...

Though feeling somewhat wronged, Saratan still composed himself again.
Actually, he had built up a sort of love-hate relationship with this mage.
Specifically, though Saratan had only been beaten up, emotions could sometimes be illogical.
