The Eunuch Regains His Manhood in the Second Round

Chapter 38

38. Silent Nerve War

Yujinhui’s hand trembled.

Her gaze turned to Seo Harin.

—

In an instant, something dark and sticky surged in Yujinhui’s heart.

It was jealousy. But Yujinhui still didn’t know the identity of the emotion that was consuming his heart.

‘…Why… Why do I feel so bad…’

Yujinhui bit his lip.

Seo Daein’s daughter, Seoharin.

Yujinhui knew her well. The tragic story of how she lost her mother in the conflict among the Murim warriors at the inn, and how she closed her heart afterward.

He also knew that she hated Murim warriors and resented the Gongdong sect for not protecting her mother and the inn.

That’s why Yujinhui always felt a sense of pity for Seoharin.

Moreover, before meeting his master, Seoharin was the only peer in Yujinhui’s small world. It was natural for him to feel drawn to her.

So Yujinhui hoped that her heart would open.

‘I shouldn’t feel this way about Miss Seo… But why…’

Seoharin, who had been silent as if she were mute, had finally spoken her first proper words. He should have felt happy.

But now, Yujinhui felt a sense of rejection.

Ever since he heard that Seoharin was nursing her precious master, Lee Cheolsu.

‘Master… Master…’

In Yujinhui’s mind, he pictured Seoharin taking care of his master’s illness.

And his master being captivated by Seoharin’s beautiful figure.

Even to him, Seoharin was sufficiently attractive as a woman.

Though she still had a youthful appearance, she showed enough potential to grow into a beauty that could captivate a nation.

There would be no man who wouldn’t fall for her beauty.

Even now, it was the same. When Seoharin started helping out at the inn, the sales temporarily increased because of the male customers who came to see her.

‘That…’

The Gongdong sect is not as strictly Taoist as the Wudang sect. Since integrating the Confucian and Buddhist sects of Gongdong Mountain under the banner of the Three Teachings, they opened their doors to the secular world and allowed their disciples to marry.

Therefore, one day, his master would also meet a partner and get married.

‘Master… meeting a lover… getting married…’

When the fact that he had been avoiding all this time finally came before his eyes, Yujinhui’s vision blurred.

He didn’t want to see his master connecting with someone.

He didn’t want to see his master getting married.

Yujinhui was startled by his own thoughts.

He shouldn’t feel that way. His precious master living a life of solitude…

—

‘No. Yes, as a senior brother… I need to thoroughly verify the woman who will become my junior brother’s wife! I can’t let just anyone be my junior brother’s partner!’

Yujinhwi changed his mind and rationalized.

He couldn’t marry his junior brother to just anyone.

He couldn’t let just anyone become his junior brother’s lover.

So, as a senior brother, he would thoroughly verify the candidate for his junior brother’s lover.

Even if it meant…

‘Even if it’s Lady Seo, she can’t be an exception.’

Even if it was Seoharin, whom he had known until now.

Because that was his duty as a senior brother.

Yujinhwi rationalized his jealousy as brotherly love and asked Seoharin.

“…I can take care of my junior brother. But why are you willing to go through the trouble of coming to the main mountain?”

His voice and expression were surprisingly stiff, but Yujinhwi didn’t realize it.

Seeing such Yujinhwi, Seoharin bit her lip.

‘…Why?’

It was an impulsive suggestion, unlike her.

The event from ten years ago was still vivid in Seoharin’s mind.

The martial artists who were fighting and smashing the inn’s table.

The sight of her mother, who was struck by a stray sword and dying. The bloodstains that marked the inn.

All those scenes were vivid.

So she hid. She closed the door to her heart.

She hated the martial world that killed her mother, and she hated the powerless Gongdong sect that couldn’t help.

She even felt a bit resentful towards her father, who donated to the Gongdong sect with a smile despite what had happened.

‘I hate martial artists. I hate the Gongdong sect…’

That feeling hadn’t changed.

But, he was different that day.

Lee Cheolsu. Yujinhwi’s junior brother and a new disciple of the Gongdong sect.

When he first greeted her, Seoharin had no thoughts about him. She thought he was no different from other martial artists.

To her, martial artists were just lawless people with swords. The righteous sects that claimed to uphold justice were hypocrites, and the evil sects were openly bandits with swords.

So she thought Lee Cheolsu would be no different. Especially since he was from the powerless Gongdong sect.

Even when Lee Cheolsu dealt with the three members of the Saeyoung Association who were causing trouble at the inn, she thought the same.

—

Although it would be satisfying to immediately take out the three members of the Black Path, he thought that the fundamental problem had not been resolved.

‘…That appearance was a bit unexpected…’

The only exception was when he poured the liquor on the floor to cover her mistake.

However, from the moment he took the lead in resolving the issue with the Shadow Society, Seo Harin’s feelings began to change little by little.

Since that day, she felt as if her empty heart and lost emotions were being gradually stimulated.

And today.

When she heard the news that Lee Cheolsu was injured in a fight with the masked man in black.

Seo Harin felt a vague sense of responsibility.

Because, in the end, Lee Cheolsu was injured while trying to protect her and the inn.

‘There is my responsibility in that.’

So, she must take responsibility.

And she also wanted to understand the identity of the emotions that kept moving.

With that in mind, she volunteered to take care of Lee Cheolsu.

But.

‘…This is the first time Young Master Yoo has been so agitated…’

Yoo Jin-hwi’s reaction to those words was different from what Seo Harin had expected.

Although Seo Harin didn’t particularly like martial artists, even she had to admit that Yoo Jin-hwi was a good person.

But the current Yoo Jin-hwi was different from usual.

Seo Harin, who was sensitive to others’ emotions, could tell.

What was revealed on Yoo Jin-hwi’s face was a negative emotion.

‘Why on earth… What kind of person is this Young Master…’

And it wasn’t difficult for Seo Harin to deduce that Lee Cheolsu was related to Yoo Jin-hwi’s negative emotions.

There was one more reason to go to the Joint Sect.

Lee Cheolsu, who had stirred Yoo Jin-hwi, a good person, and moved her own emotions.

Feeling her interest in him deepening, Seo Harin added.

“…Is it not allowed? He is someone who was injured because of me. It is only right that I take care of him.”

At Seo Harin’s words, Yoo Jin-hwi slightly clenched his fist.

Logically, it was a perfectly valid reason.

Moreover, Seo Harin was not an outsider, which made it even more so.

But in his heart, he didn’t want to bring Seo Harin to the main sect.

—

“What do you think, Master?”

“I agree with what the child said. It’s probably safer to go back to the main base, and it’s also more convenient.”

Yu Jin-hwi gritted his teeth at Master Seo’s words.

He had no reason to refuse.

He had no choice.

He looked at Seo Ha-rin while taking a deep breath and said,

“I understand. Master Seo. So, let’s go back to the main base after cooking some pork.”

“Thank you, Young Master Yu.”

The silent psychological battle ended in victory for Seo Ha-rin.

Yu Jin-hwi trembled slightly, feeling an inexplicable sense of defeat, and took a deep breath.

The patient, wrapped in a thick, fluffy blanket, had one good thing: his internal energy was not exposed to the outside.

As a monster, I could still reveal my presence even under the thick blanket. However, I controlled my internal energy by making subtle changes to my posture and using my internal strength to conceal my presence.

Gasp.

I continued to do kegel exercises while receiving my master’s care and lying down.

In the morning, my monster body stood upright, still as steady as the sun in the middle of the sky.

It was all thanks to the s*xual stamina training I had done so far.

‘Heh heh heh.’

I barely managed to suppress my twitching lips.

I could feel that my s*xual endurance and firmness had improved compared to before.

It was all thanks to the modern medical practice of pelvic floor exercise.

Now that the pork is almost ready, I couldn’t help but feel satisfied with my patient life.

If only I could use my hands to touch my internal energy and check my condition······.

‘But I can’t, since I have a master.’

I couldn’t make any intense movements.

So, I couldn’t touch my internal energy with my hands.

I couldn’t even touch my own African elephant-like body.

How frustrating.

‘Maybe I should…’

Masturbation.

I have never been able to do anything like this before.

It was a long time ago that I learned the importance of understanding others, even when it comes to matters of the heart. When I first started my career, I thought that being competitive was the key to success. But as I grew older and wiser, I realized that there are times when winning isn’t everything. In fact, sometimes losing can be more important than winning.

In my youth, I used to think that I could win by any means necessary. But now, I know that true strength lies in being able to understand others and empathize with their feelings. It’s not about being better than someone else, but rather about finding common ground and working together towards a shared goal.

I believe that we should always strive to learn from our mistakes and use them as opportunities for growth. We should never be afraid to ask for help or guidance when we need it, and we should always treat others with kindness and respect. By doing so, we can create a more harmonious and fulfilling life for ourselves and those around us.

—

In my line of sight appeared a person.

“It’s been a while since we last met, Young Master. I am Seo Ha-rin, here to attend to your needs from today onward.”

The sunlight streaming through the door illuminated her shimmering platinum hair.

Eyes the color of the sky, as if they held the heavens within.

A girl with skin as white as snow and an impressive smile, the future beauty of the righteous sect, Seo Ha-rin, was greeting me with a modest bow.

Seo Ha-rin, you say?

Just as I was taken aback.

“First, I will wash your body.”

Seo Ha-rin set down the basin on her head and lifted a wet towel.

Wait a moment.

You’re going to wash my body?
