After seducing the Chief Steward of the Baneun Merchant Guild's daughter, I proceeded to sleep with the other willing women in the mansion. Due to time constraints, I couldn't be with every woman, so I focused on those who openly welcomed me.
The Chief Steward's mansion was one of the largest in the city, housing a multitude of women. This included not only servants but also guests, wives of temporary visitors, wives of subordinates, and more. The number of guests alone staying at the mansion numbered in the dozens.
"Hey, let's get going."
I nudged Seong Jigun on the shoulder, who was still engrossed in sex. He was with the wife of one of the Chief Steward's subordinates, an older woman around the same age as the Chief Steward's wife.
"Just a minute. It'll only take a moment...!"
After a few thrusts, he shuddered violently, then rose with a ragged breath.
Before leaving, I glanced around. Over a dozen women lay scattered about, flushed and catching their breath.
"Isn't this going to cause trouble?"
"Why worry now, after we've had our fun? They'll keep quiet if they don't want to be abandoned by their husbands. Let's go."
Seong Jigun and I slipped out of the mansion as stealthily as we'd entered, returning secretly to the inn.
Back at the inn, we removed our masks.
My face looked much the same as usual. Seong Jigun's, however, had grown noticeably gaunt compared to earlier. Unlike me, with my exceptional Qi, Seong Jigun's Qi was only slightly above average.
As I fucked the eager woman, Seong Jigun would occasionally pause to watch me before joining in.
"Ugh... My head's spinning... Yujin, you don't even seem affected. You've got a huge cock and you're great in bed, but me..."
Unlike me, who could ignore the post-orgasm "sage time" thanks to my exceptional stamina, he couldn't overcome the inevitable lull that followed ejaculation.
"It's just natural. Don't be too disappointed. If you eat stamina-boosting foods or take supplements, your stamina will gradually improve."
"Stamina-boosting supplements..." Seong Jigun muttered with a serious expression. Stamina was crucial tied to a man's pride and essential for enjoying one of the three primal desires: sexual desire.
I had a few stamina-enhancing pills on hand, but I had no intention of sharing them with Seong Jigun.
Why would I give it away when I'm busy using it myself?
Even though I didn't particularly need the aphrodisiac, you never know what might happen later.
"Yujin-ah, are you sure this is okay? What if the Chief Steward hires mercenaries to track us down?"
"Ah, you scaredy-cat. I told you, that won't happen. Why worry after you've already had your fun? You're not going to do it again next time, are you?"
"Next time... I'll do it again."
Seong Jigun wore a determined expression. This guy was definitely hooked on sex too.
We had no choice but to stop our spree of sneaking around with women in the city.
Recently, rumors had begun circulating in Hunan City about two womanizers. They slip into houses where women are waiting and carry on secret affairs. One has an exceptionally large member, while the other obsessively targets older women. The rumors were strangely specific.
"Y-Yujin-ah, what should we do? Should we run? Or just turn ourselves in..."
"Turn ourselves in? Are you crazy? People don't know we're the culprits yet. If they did, the government troops would have come for us already."
We sleep with women, but we don't bother killing them. In this world, women are desperate to hide the fact that they've taken lovers in secret. Killing them would only leave corpses behind, triggering a full-scale investigation by the authorities. That's too much trouble.
There have been a few cases where we were caught with wives in front of their commoner husbands.
That man might have drunkenly blabbed to others. Or perhaps the women involved gathered to commiserate, and the truth leaked out.
"The worst part is the information about me. The rumor that I'm well-endowed is devastating."
The courtesans at the Flying Fragrance Pavilion call me a "Sex Object," claiming I'm well-endowed and skilled in bed. They probably thought of me the moment they heard the rumor.
Fortunately, the term "Sex Object" is still circulating only among the courtesans.
"Seong Jigun is safe. He's outwardly a very disciplined martial artist, so I'm the only one who knows about his preferences."
Investigating the source of the rumor is risky. If I start digging around, I might be wrongly accused.
"What should I do... what should I do..."
Seong Jigun's legs trembled, betraying his anxiety and agitation. I spoke to him, who was sweating profusely.
"We should avoid going into the city for a while. The biggest problem is the female servants who know our faces. We need to keep them calm first. If they hear the rumors and connect them to us, we're finished."
"Y-you're right. The servants! Wouldn't it be better to just kill them all and wipe out the evidence?"
"Are you crazy? If we commit murder within the Sect, Father will take serious action. If we get caught, it won't end with just confinement."
"Damn it. Maybe we should just run away..."
"It's fine. We just need to speak to them carefully. The rumors will die down soon."
If we keep our distance and act natural, the servants will get the hint. They won't want their own names dragged into scandal either, so they'll keep quiet.
"We'll have to cut back on sex for a while too."
"...Right. That's the right thing to do."
Seong Jigun trembled with anxiety, yet his expression betrayed a hint of longing. The man had recently developed a disturbing addiction to sex.
If things go south, I'll ditch him and run.
Attendance Event! Rewards are given for each week of consecutive attendance! Current streak: 7 days completed.
You have achieved a full week of attendance. Rewards will be granted randomly.
You have received White Night Grass.
White Night Grass
A medicinal herb that purifies the blood.
This week's reward is an herb. Not bad, considering.
I accepted the herb that materialized before me.
It had already been twelve weeks since I arrived in this world, though in reality, less than ten days had passed for me. I had been using Automatic Progression to fast-forward through time.
Every week, I received a random reward. It was surprisingly entertaining.
Everything comes from here: steel ingots, paulownia wood fragments, medicinal herbs, silk, and more. If you're lucky, you might even find Spirit Medicine or Heavenly Jade.
I only have one of each... I'll enhance the Spirit Medicine with the Bright Ascension Chart and leave the Heavenly Jade as is.
Enhancing the Heavenly Jade would only slightly improve its quality. While it might help with crafting, I'm currently collecting Heavenly Jade to raise my System's VIP level. There's no need to waste time on that.
When will the Hwaryeon Flying Dagger's enhancement be finished?
I unfolded the Bright Ascension Chart. The image of the Hwaryeon Flying Dagger still glowed with swirling light.
Hurry up and finish already.
Tucking the Bright Ascension Chart into my robes, I began my day.
Seong Jigun and I met at the restaurant, ate our meal, and then moved to an empty clearing where no one could overhear our conversation.
"Yujin-ah, don't you think it's about time we went back to the city?" Seong Jigun asked subtly. His meaning was clear: he wanted to go chase women again. We had been cooped up in the sect, meeting only the servants, instead of venturing into the city.
"Hmm. The rumors that were circulating in the city have mostly died down... Maybe we should go."
"Then let's go tonight!"
"No, not tonight. If we go down there and rumors start spreading immediately, people will suspect us. We need to go to the city a few times first, just to have fun. It won't be too late to act after that."
"Ah... do we really have to be that careful?"
"We have to be."
I shook my head at Seong Jigun.
The Seong Jigun who once trembled with fear and anxiety, terrified his crimes would be discovered, was gone. As he continued carrying on secret affairs with the Sect's servants without getting caught, he grew increasingly bold.
Just as a needle thief becomes a cattle thief, Seong Jigun had begun targeting women of higher status. His constant remarks about the Chief Steward's wife whenever he found an opportunity confirmed this.
"Have you prepared well for the test?"
The test referred to the entrance ceremony, scheduled for three days later. During this ceremony, we would demonstrate our skills to the Sect elders and be formally recognized as full members.
"Don't worry. I just advanced to the fourth Rank of the Entry Stage, so I should pass without any trouble."
Seong Jigun was undeniably talented.
It was easy to understand why the protagonist of the original work harbored feelings of inferiority and jealousy toward him.
"Yujin, you're at the fifth Rank of the Entry Stage, so you'll breeze through, right? Lucky you."
"Probably."
Even if the Silver Star Sword's skills were slightly lacking, it would be foolish to overlook someone at the fifth Rank of the Entry Stage.
"Which Rank are you aiming for?"
Rank.
This referred to the martial arts groups within the Meteor Sword Sect. There were over five such groups. After passing the initiation ceremony, one could express a preference for which group to join. However, whether the group accepted the applicant was another matter entirely.
"The Meteor Group."
It's the most elite martial force within the Meteor Sword Sect.
"Really? Then I should join the Meteor Group too."
I nodded. I'd expected Seong Jigun to follow me. From his perspective, sticking with me would make it easier to bed women.
Joining the Meteor Group wouldn't be difficult. Seong Jigun and I were the 37th and 38th sons of Seong Godan, after all.
"But why the Meteor Group? Is it because of the Meteor Sword Art?"
The Meteor Sword Art, considered the sect's ultimate sword technique, can only be learned by members of the Meteor Group.
"No. The Meteor Group has few missions and gives its members plenty of personal time."
"True, having more personal time is definitely a plus."
"More importantly, the Meteor Group has Seong Sojeong, known as Meteor's First Beauty."
"Right, Seong... what?" Seong Jigun's eyes widened.
Seong Sojeong had been raised in Seong Godan's household and was publicly known as Seong Jigun's sister, but she had been adopted from a collateral branch and shared no blood with either of us. She wasn't related to me at all.
Incest? This is a world within a creative work. I don't have any siblings. I'm an only child.
The fact that I was Seong Godan's thirty-eighth child was merely a plot device.
"A-are you serious? She's part of your household! People will talk!"
"Not related by blood. Stay away from her. She's mine."
"This is madness! It's scandalous!"
"Saying all that... but your body tells a different story."
"Huh? W-why is this happening?!"
Seong Jigun followed my gaze downward and panicked. His member was stiffly erect, tenting his pants.
This guy's even more of a pervert than I thought.
"B-but still, no way!"
"Ah, jeez. You're so loud. Hey, I'll let you court Lady Wang Giso. So shut up."
"...What?"
Seong Jigun blinked, his face a mask of incomprehension.
"Lady Wang Giso, the beauty from the seventh residence. I'm offering you an introduction, you know?"
I chuckled as I spoke.
Mother? What mother? My mom runs a beauty salon in Gangwon Province.
Treating a woman from a fictional work as my mother just because she lives in the same household? That's truly insane.
If it's that severe, you should delete the Pleasure World App.
I saw Seong Jigun swallow hard.
I approached him, put my arm around his shoulder, and whispered darkly, "Seong Godan... let's chase after all seventeen beauties attached to your father's estate. You know how high his standards are they're all beauties."
Seong Godan was known for his high standards and lustful nature. His estate was filled with dazzling women. Two years ago, a stunning beauty who had just turned twenty moved into one of the residences.
"Still, we can't abandon human decency..."
I checked and confirmed that Seong Jigun's member was fully erect, straining against his pants.
"Humanity? We abandoned that the moment we started sneaking into other people's bedrooms."
"...!"
Seong Jigun's eyes widened in shock.
"We've already crossed the line. Trying to act noble now won't change the fact that we've been creeping around in other people's shadows. We're already shameless scoundrels."
"..."
"Since we're already scoundrels, let's be honest about it. Don't worry, I'll be shameless with you. You're not alone. We're brothers, aren't we?"
"...You're right. We're already shameless scoundrels. But Yujin, if I'm with you..."
"Still, Seong Sojeong is mine alone. Touch her, and you're dead."
"A-alright. You can have her. What about the other ladies, then?"
"Hmm. Pursue whoever you want among those beauties. If one of them takes a liking to you, fine. But in return, I want a taste of Lady Wang Giso."
"Lady Biseongae is mine alone."
"...Wasn't she in her fifties?"
The lady of the fourth residence, Biseongae, was indeed in her fifties, as far as I remembered. Though she looked to be in her early forties, her beauty was exceptional.
"That's right. She's 54 this year. She has the kindest heart of all the senior ladies."
"...Oh. Okay."
"So, when are you going to start? Today?"
"No. I can't just rush them. The women around Seong Godan aren't ordinary women. I need to approach them slowly."
"...Slowly?"
"I'll explain later. For now, let's go train, brother."
