Chapter 1218

<Chapter 1218> The Path of Radiant Ascension

“No… I can’t fall apart here!”

Though she screamed internally that it couldn’t be, her hand hovering in midair refused to move.

In front of her eyes, the figure of Yeon Yeha flickered like a ghost.

During the Baeksan War, Yeon Yeha had swung her sword with a blank expression, mercilessly cutting down enemies. She was strong—so strong that she seemed less like a woman and more like a warrior. Not even burly, muscular men or those who resorted to despicable tricks could best Yeon Yeha. Every time her blade moved, foes fell like dominoes. Seo Minsoryeo admired her deeply.

And yet, Seo Minsoryeo knew reality all too well. Their backgrounds were worlds apart.

Yeon Yeha, daughter of the third elder of the Heavenly Horse Cult and wielder of the Sword Demon’s legacy. Meanwhile, Seo Minsoryeo had merely been lucky enough to learn martial arts from a recluse master whose name and sect origins remained unknown to her.

The gap between them was immense.

And as time passed, that gap would only widen.

“To close this gap… I’d have to give up something.”

Seo Minsoryeo’s gaze shifted toward the demonic essence pill.

She knew it. This time, she’d been fortunate. In the first division, she’d done practically nothing. Perhaps in the next test, she’d be demoted from Team One to Team Two. And in the final fourth trial? She might even be expelled.

Number 88 had told her she had talent—a claim she herself agreed with. Even her recluse master had called her a prodigy. But the world she knew didn’t care about talent alone.

“If I reject Number 123’s offer… I might regret it later.”

After failing the third trial, what if she had taken the intellect-enhancing pill then? What if she’d consumed another demon essence pill? These thoughts haunted her. She couldn’t shake the fear of regret. If she graduated from Jima Academy with mediocre results, she’d end up just another average female warrior.

Taking the spirit pill and ignoring Number 123’s proposal was an option. She couldn’t escape Jima Academy, but within its walls, Number 123 wouldn’t dare attack her.

“Thinking like this makes me pathetic.”

Filling herself with self-loathing, she sighed and abandoned the spirit pill. She would reject Number 123’s offer. She would preserve her principles and chastity. Her talent alone would see her through.

“…But can I really?”

Could talent alone guarantee success? If poor performance in the next trial caused her demotion, wouldn’t she just become another forgettable warrior?

“…When I decided to train in martial arts and become a warrior, didn’t I already give up being a woman?”

She would live as a warrior and die as one. That was the vow she made when she began learning martial arts.

“Did my chastity ever matter after I gave up living as a woman?”

Throughout her life, many men had lusted after her body. Some tried to rape her; others attempted to buy her for pennies.

“Number 123 has already tied me to the demon essence and intellect pills.”

Just considering the monetary value of the spirit pill—it was enough to purchase not just the finest courtesans but entire luxurious brothels in one fell swoop.

“And it’s not like I’m selling myself forever. Just one month. A mere month of giving my body to Number 123’s whims.”

By letting go of her obsession with chastity, she could gain unimaginable advantages. It wasn’t even a fair trade—it was pure profit. With this, she could reach heights far beyond where she currently stood. The distant back of Yeon Yeha suddenly felt tantalizingly close.

“Haaah… Haaak… Haaah…”

Her breathing grew ragged.

“Consuming the intellect pill will help me ascend to the Initial Escape realm. And if I take two demon essence pills… at the very least, I’ll reach the third tier of Initial Escape! Even if I don’t ascend, I’ll possess far more and purer demonic energy than anyone else!”

Greed.

The desire to grow stronger relentlessly urged her on. Cold sweat poured down her face in rivulets.


“More than this? No way…!”

Ultimately, she grasped the Spirit Pill with her trembling hand. The moment she sensed the pill’s energy, her breathing returned to normal and her mind became calm. She had made up her resolve and reached a decision.

Xiaomen Suoli inserted the Spirit Pill into her mouth and sat cross-legged on the floor. Feeling the surging energy within her body, she began to circulate her Soul Control Devil Art. It was time to break through the barrier.

…

I went to the place where I met Xiaomen Suoli yesterday. Since I arrived a little early, she wasn’t there yet.

She’s the character who confesses to Chanyu Yun midway through the original story and gets rejected.

Later, she inherits the title of Spear Demon and becomes an elder of the Celestial Demon Sect. In the original work, she becomes obsessed with getting stronger after being stimulated by Lian Yeha, and as she grows stronger, her personality becomes more confident.

‘Is it too hasty to approach her at this point in time?’

Still, I judged that this method would only work during this period when she’s being stimulated by Lian Yeha. Xiaomen Suoli realizes her feelings for Chanyu Yun rationally during the third trial of Heavenly Demon Arts. By then, it’ll be too late.

Xiaomen Suoli appeared a little after the appointed time. Her face was calm. My eyes widened. I could sense it—Xiaomen Suoli had broken through and reached the realm of Insight.

Before I could speak, she spoke first.

“123. What’s your name?”

“…Name? Suddenly?”

“I feel grateful to you. I want to become friends with you. My name is Xiaomen Suoli. Oh, you can talk casually.”

“Talk casually. I am… Yan Guseok.”

“Yan Guseok… weird, feels like a fake name but… whatever, doesn’t matter.”

Xiaomen Suoli grinned. Yesterday, her guard was up against me, but today, her face was confident.

“Xiaomen Suoli. I’d like to hear your answer to my proposal.”

“You already know what my answer is, don’t you.”

“I want to confirm it clearly.”

Xiaomen Suoli shrugged and said,

“I’ve taken the Spirit Pill you gave me. I plan to take the Martial Essence Pill tomorrow. In short, I’m accepting your proposal, no, your deal.”

“Good.”

“Exactly 30 days.”

“Starting now?”

“Yes. Starting now.”

I stepped forward toward Xiaomen Suoli and tightly embraced her. Though she was startled, she didn’t resist. Her cheeks turned bright red.

“You’re mine now.”

“…Don’t get the wrong idea. It’s limited to 30 days, not forever.”

I grabbed Xiaomen Suoli’s face and stared intently. As I admired her blushing face, I kissed her. While caressing her back, I slid my tongue into her soft lips. Our tongues intertwined. She awkwardly followed the movement of my tongue.

After kissing for a while, we parted. Xiaomen Suoli had a dazed expression from experiencing her first kiss ever. I tried to take off her clothes.

“Hold on.”

“What’s wrong?”

“You know my body is your goal. But… even so, doing this here isn’t right, is it?”

“This place is rarely visited by people, so there’s no chance of being seen… Still, I respect your wishes. Where do you suggest?”

“…Let’s go to my room. Doing this in the male dormitory seems inappropriate.”

“Understood.”

With Xiaomen Suoli’s help, I sneaked into her room. It was similar to Lian Yeha’s room. Probably other women’s rooms are similar too.

Swish, swish.

While I briefly looked around the room, Xiaomen Suoli had already taken off her clothes. I was quite surprised that she’d be this proactive.

Though naked, she still covered her chest and private parts with her hands out of embarrassment and spoke with a trembling voice.

“I keep my promises.”

“Indeed, you’re an extraordinary woman.”

I also took off my clothes and became naked. Seeing Xiaomen Suoli’s naked body, my member stretched upward. She slowly lowered her hands covering her important area after looking at my erection.

Her breasts were C-cup. The areolas and nipples were pink, and their size was moderate. However, the areolas were slightly swollen forward.

Like the women in this world, her pubic hair was lush. This contrasts with Yeon Yeha’s bareness. Of course, compared to Yeon Yeha before she trimmed her pubic hair, hers was less abundant.

“Xiaomen Suoli, which position do you prefer?”

“…Position? This is my first time. How would I possibly know what position I prefer?”

“Then let’s find out which position you like best. Let’s start with the missionary position.”

I pushed her onto the bed. Lying down on the bed, she panted heavily. I could feel her heart beating fast as I placed my hands on her breasts.

‘Too tense. Does she have some kind of fantasy about sex? Or maybe she heard something bad?’

I spread her legs apart. Between her snow-white thighs, her vagina was visible. A well-shaped, pink vulva was hidden among the hair. I brushed aside the coarse pubic hair…


*Glossary Used: Yuha, Gender, Spirit, Fit, Ha, Na, “Hmph.”*

Then I touched it. Perhaps because I didn’t use the Sensory Enhancement, it was dry.

‘In situations like this, you gotta start slow with some teasing to heat her body up.’

That way, the woman could enjoy it too. And since there was no rush, I decided not to use Sensory Enhancement.

Seo Miso lifted her upper body. She seemed flustered that I was only gently rubbing her nether regions and chest.

“What? Why aren’t you entering yet? Could it be… you don’t know how?”

“I’m just adoring your precious parts, so stay still.”

“…Are you joking?”

“My territory is now your body.”

“It’s a 30-day limited offer though.”

Seo Miso sighed. Lying back on the bed as if all energy drained from her, she let me continue my caresses. Her eyes flickered toward my manhood, thankfully showing some interest in the act.

“Haaang, unngg… My body’s getting hot…”

With unhurried affection, she began to get excited. Her nipples stood at attention, and her nether lips glistened with arousal. I buried my face between her thighs and carefully sucked on her treasure.

“Wha, what are you doing there?! It’s dirty… Hnnnnggh!! Aahh… Feels good… Unngh…!”

She honestly voiced her thoughts. Since her reaction was quite favorable, I kept sucking until her nether region overflowed with honey. With preparation complete, all that remained was penetration.

“I’m going in.”

“…Okay.”

I thrust my manhood into her. The hymen broke, and blood stained the bedsheet.

“Guhhh…”

Seo Miso bit her lip while enduring the pain. Watching her face, I slowly moved my hips. After some time, Seo Miso started enjoying herself, opening her mouth slightly with a dazed look.

“Haa… Haa… This is sex… Uhngh, haaaang…! It feels better than I heard…”

Just thirty minutes after losing her virginity, she began moving her own hips, reveling in the act.

“Your nether lips taste amazing.”

“…Taste?”

“When sex feels good, we say it tastes good. It’s a metaphor.”

“Ah, I see. Your manhood tastes good too.”

I chuckled softly as I released inside her.

•••

The 30 days passed in a flash.

I sat on Seo Miso’s bed while she knelt between my legs, sucking on my manhood. Stimulating the thick shaft with her throat, her mouth and tongue worked tirelessly. Her fellatio technique was truly expert-level.

“Aah, I’m about to cum.”

“Ugh, ugh! Tzzzhhh!”

She said something while keeping her mouth around it—probably telling me to cum inside her. Keeping it in her mouth confirmed that. So I did exactly as she wished, releasing into her mouth and throat.

When it was over, she released my manhood. The saliva-covered shaft gleamed as she licked it clean. Then, using one hand to massage my sacs, she kissed the tip before opening her mouth and swallowing it, rolling it around inside.

“Seo Miso, do you realize? The 30 days are up. Yesterday marked the end.”

“Huff… Was it?”

Finally, she released my manhood, looking at it with longing. Mixed with her juices, my seed dripped down her thighs.

I glanced at the window. Dawn was approaching, but we still had enough time for one more round.

“Will you be my girl?”

“Dream on. Even though you’re skilled in lovemaking, I won’t become yours just because of this. Our deal is done. Let’s part ways now.”

“…What a shame.”

Seo Miso stood up. Her body in front of me was beautiful. Seeing my seed flow down her thighs made me feel oddly satisfied.

“Let me make a proposal.”

“Proposal? Another magical pill like last time?”

“There’s no need for pills. I won’t try to possess you. But I’d like us to meet occasionally for fun. You do enjoy my manhood, don’t you?”

“…”

Seo Miso turned around. Watching her shapely rear, I tensed up. I thought this would work… but is it really over?

‘…Should I try another approach?’

Instead of heading to the wardrobe, she walked toward the desk. Grabbing its edge, she bent over, sticking her rear out. Then, she swayed her bottom, where my handprints were still visible. Her nether lips stretched open, dripping with juices.

“What are you waiting for? Not much time till sunrise. Hurry up and stick your manhood in my nether lips.”

I grinned and stood up. She had accepted my proposal.

Grabbing her rear with one hand, I forcefully thrust my manhood into her.

Thud!

“Aaaah! As always, your manhood tastes incredible!”

“Your nether lips are absolutely delicious too.”

Today.

I’ve secured one of Chanyuun’s subordinates.
