I Spent a Night with the Terminally ill Daughter of the World’s Greatest Master

The Demon King’s daughter has meridian blockage.
Though the Martial Arts Alliance Chief made a shocking declaration, this was information I already knew.
‘But isn’t it “daughters,” not just one?’
The Great Princess.
Officially, the Demon King has only one daughter.
And she had meridian blockage, and I knew that one daughter of the Demon King had meridian blockage.
Could there be unofficial illegitimate daughters I don’t know about?
“W-what are you saying? That the Demon King has three daughters…? And all three have meridian blockage…?”
The Divine Monk, who didn’t know this information, looks at the Alliance Chief with a face full of betrayal, but the Alliance Chief just shrugs his shoulders as his answer.
“Intelligence obtained from Kunlun, Divine Monk. He had three daughters with an ice master, and among them, only the youngest, the current Great Princess, remains while the others ‘died.'”
Died.
A way of speaking that implies they actually didn’t.
“That’s the official story. But that’s just due to the Demon King’s cruelty; in reality, they’re definitely alive. The Demon King kept only the current Great Princess and abandoned the others, but they’re certainly alive.”
Ah.
They were abandoned.
For a moment, the faces of two women flashed before my eyes.
“And those two women want revenge. Even while suffering from meridian blockage, they seek revenge against the Demon King who abandoned them.”
Keeping only the most talented girl, the rest were denied their parent-child relationship—
‘Were they thrown into caves?’
The Demon King was serious about raising hidden poisons.
Among the hidden poisons meant to destroy various sects, two orphans were directly abandoned by the Demon King.
They both survived tenaciously and established themselves.
Just as I secured a position in the Mo Yong family, others have also properly established themselves.
Hidden poisons know each other.
Who is hiding where.
Especially in the case of someone like me, who is essentially exposed without much past washing, some of the core courtesans among the “demons” spread across various pleasure houses would know that I am a disciple of the Evil Physician.
Of course, I’m not worried.
Because there are aspects of what I’ve experienced and done as a physician that can offset the issue of my Evil Sect origin.
‘And it’s not like people will capture and kill someone just for being from the Evil Sect these days.’
Being from the Evil Sect, how should I put it, is just a label of being a loser of the era.
After the Demon King was unilaterally defeated by the Sword Star, the Evil Sect became just Evil Sect in name only, suffering a gradual decline in power until it became nothing more than a sect that had to close its doors.
But even so.
‘The Demon King deployed his own daughters as hidden poisons?’
Regarding the Demon King as a person, something nauseous welled up from within me.
“In fact, this person is not unrelated to meridian blockage.”
“What does that mean…?”
“Because his senior disciple, Kunlun’s senior disciple Jin Hyun, is the eldest daughter among the Demon King’s three daughters.”
“…….”
The Divine Monk opens his mouth in surprise, and the Sword Queen and the person from the imperial palace openly frown.
Those who didn’t know respond with “how could that be,” while those who knew respond with “why are you saying this?”
My heart also sank.
At that surprising statement, the loneliness settled in my heart would be startled, perking up its ears and listening quietly.
“By learning extreme yang internal arts that men usually learn, one can somewhat suppress the pain of meridian blockage. So I won’t ask Physician Seok for a kiss or a night together or anything for my senior disciple’s symptom relief. I won’t.”
Is it my imagination that Mo Yong Seol’s hostility toward the Alliance Chief seems to diminish slightly at his declaration?
“The reason I’m revealing this is not as the Kunlun Sect Leader or as the head of a sect that would be the first to suffer if the Evil Sect rampages, being closest to them, but as the ‘Martial Arts Alliance Chief’ who must consider the peace of the entire martial world.”
“…While having the Demon King’s abandoned daughter as your senior disciple?”
“Divine Monk. Take a broader view. Even if born in evil, if one cultivates the Way and walks the path of a Buddhist, doesn’t that make them a Taoist or a monk?”
Despite the Divine Monk’s blatant display of disgust, the Alliance Chief suppressed his words with orthodoxy.
“To be blunt, even if the Evil Sect rampages, can they immediately overcome Shaolin where the Divine Monk is? Can they break through the Huashan Sect in Shaanxi to begin with?”
“…They cannot.”
The Divine Monk answered with an ailing voice.
“What I’m concerned about transcends this righteousness and evil—it’s the pleas from numerous meridian blockage patients that will reach out to Physician Seok. Just like the Purple Sword Gate’s sect leader.”
The Alliance Chief turned his eyes to me.
“Physician Seok. Will you kiss all women suffering from meridian blockage, including the Demon King’s daughters?”
“I have absolutely no intention of doing so.”
The answer came sharply to the Alliance Chief’s question.
“I will only kiss Miss Mo Yong. The ‘medicinal liquid’ flowing from me can be delivered indirectly by any means.”
“That’s right. That’s exactly it. In that sense, I, Supreme Elder, would like to make a suggestion….”
The Alliance Chief pointed to the ceiling.
“For now, let’s deceive the world. By saying we’ve developed a suitable new medicine.”
“Alliance Chief.”
“It wouldn’t be a bad thing for the Mo Yong family either. What do you think, Miss Mo Yong? Will you stuff medicine into patients’ mouths under the pretext of a new medicine, or will other women—”
“I will never allow them to stick their tongues into him.”
Mo Yong Seol answered while firmly holding my hand.
“Better to deceive the world with a lie.”
Since we were already deceiving, there wasn’t much burden.
At least it’s better than people coming to me asking me to stick it in them.
-Don’t forget. This favor… I’ll repay with my body.
…Various hidden poisons momentarily flashed before my eyes, but I deliberately suppressed those thoughts.
-In this hell, only you saw me as a human being.
Even if they are the Demon King’s daughters.

Late evening.
Various stories inevitably circulate in inns where people gather, and the topics they discuss are naturally the latest rumors in the martial world.
But the inn was quiet.
Without a single empty seat, the inn was so crowded that regular customers who entered immediately turned around and left with an “oh my,” but the inn was quiet as if someone would die if they made a sound.
“Um.”
Someone very cautiously opened their mouth.
“Is meridian blockage really curable?”
That was the explosion of the fuse.
“Do you believe that? The Mo Yong family is saying that to hide the fact that they’ve created an extraordinary medicine.”
“No, but still. Can they talk about having slept together like that?”
“How many marriage proposals will fly toward the Mo Yong family’s precious daughter? This is the Sword Star’s strategy to block them all at the source.”
The people in the inn are each discussing the “meridian blockage cure.”

And on the upper floor of the inn, in a space ordinary people cannot enter, a black-haired woman is sitting modestly at a table she has claimed entirely, picking up and eating small dragon buns with chopsticks.
The woman wearing Kunlun Sect robes is the Martial Arts Alliance Chief and Kunlun Sect Leader Supreme Elder’s senior disciple, [Jin Hyun].
With a small dragon bun in her mouth, she briefly looked down with slightly “reddened eyes” before averting her gaze again.
Thud, thud.
A woman approached Jin Hyun.
Even though the woman was staring at her, Jin Hyun continued to eat the small dragon buns while looking down.
“Sister.”
“……How familiar is the Point Spear Sect’s senior disciple trying to get with me?”
At the word “sister,” Jin Hyun frowned as if getting goosebumps and answered without even looking.
“I’m eating. Even dogs aren’t disturbed while….”
“Woof woof.”
“…I heard you confronted the Sword Star, and now you’ve gone completely mad.”
“If Shao Yanchi is mad, then sister is mad too.”
Jin Hyun frowned at the woman Shao Yanchi’s explicit expression.
If someone were watching, they might think the two women “resembled” each other in some way.
Like sisters.
“So what pretext did you come here on?”
“What are you going to do? Are you going to leave Mu Wol to be devoured by Mo Yong Seol?”
“Devoured…. Is your pride hurt to use a different expression?”
Jin Hyun picked up another small dragon bun.
“Why? Are your hands and feet trembling because a woman you thought would soon die has stolen Mu Wol from you? Hm?”
“Sister.”
“Were you planning to take Physician Seok Mu Wol into the Point Spear Sect after he left the Mo Yong family, then keep him by your side and somehow form that kind of relationship, but now your plan is ruined and you’re boiling with rage?”
“Who are you talking about? Me, or you?”
At Shao Yanchi’s mockery, Jin Hyun put down the small dragon bun she was about to eat.
“If someone heard, they’d think I had feelings for Mu Wol like you do.”
“Don’t you? As your life savior. You’ve been trying to divert Mu Wol ever since before he entered the Mo Yong family. Even the Great Princess entered Kunlun as a senior disciple.”
“Hah.”
Jin Hyun briefly frowned and tore apart a small dragon bun with her chopsticks.
“Don’t speak carelessly elsewhere. This is the heart of the righteous martial world, and there are many listening ears.”
“How many hidden poisons are spread throughout the martial arts sects? Those who don’t know don’t know, but those who know, know.”
“Everyone keeps quiet because there’s a lot to trip over if challenged. Even the Point Spear Sect accepting the Second Princess, Miss Shao Yanchi, is ultimately because it benefits Point Spear, right?”
“…….”
“If you skillfully utilize the yin energy from meridian blockage, you can create a supreme master trained in extreme yin arts in just a few years.”
Jin Hyun alternately pointed with her eyes at herself and Shao Yanchi.
“Kunlun secretly took the Demon King’s eldest daughter as a disciple, essentially taking a hostage, but Point Spear is trying to create the world’s greatest sect based on the Demon King’s second daughter’s bloodline. To raise a swordsman even greater than the senior disciple who was killed by Sword Star Mo Yong Cheon.”
Jin Hyun picked up her chopsticks and sneered.
“You were planning to take Physician Seok as your lover, have him contribute to Point Spear’s medicine, and bear his child—not another Point Spear man’s—to raise as a Point Spear master. Am I wrong?”
“What about you, sister? Instead of being stuck in Kunlun quietly playing the hostage role, why did you struggle all the way to Liaodong? Did you have some guess?”
“No, not at all. I’m being honest with you because it’s you, but all plans have been ruined.”
Jin Hyun sighed deeply.
“I was wondering how to get a spirit medicine that nurtures yang energy from Physician Seok, but instead of spirit medicine, it turns out we need to receive bodily fluids.”
Jin Hyun rolled up her sleeve.
From her fingers to her arm, there was no sign of any blood color.
“Like you, extreme yang internal arts… internal cultivation methods that nurture yang energy to continuously raise the body’s vital energy are necessary for people like us to survive. And that’s only possible when combined with ‘evil arts.'”
“…….”
“Kunlun wants to perfect a method of operating two energies as taiji through me, while Point Spear purely expects your talent and mental strength. Both of us would die prematurely before thirty… no, forty at the latest.”
“You….”
“But now the situation has changed. What to do, we’re love rivals. Isn’t the Point Spear sect leader asking you to come to his bedroom?”
“Don’t cross the line, you crazy bitch.”
Shao Yanchi grabbed a teacup, but Jin Hyun picked up another small dragon bun with a coldly composed face.
“Sister—”
“Little sister, if you splash that on me, you’ll die.”
The moment Jin Hyun’s pupils flashed “golden,” Shao Yanchi put down the teacup.
“……..”
“And I’m talking about reality. The situation has changed. Do you think they’ll just sit still? The now-nominal Evil Sect accepted the Demon King’s daughters solely based on the talent of ‘transcendent master’s bloodline,’ but now that girl would risk her life for a Mo Yong family man, not appreciating the grace of protection?”
“Life is….”
“Don’t forget. No matter how much the Evil Sect is now less than a toothless tiger, no matter how much that pathetic bipolar coward can’t think of coming down from Tianshan, a transcendent master is still a transcendent master.”
“……You don’t hold back when talking about your own father.”
“Shut up.”
Jin Hyun put a small dragon bun in her mouth at once.
“So, what are you going to do? Will you jump over the Mo Yong family’s wall and raid them?”
“That’s….”
“Ho, extra news!!”
A man kicked open the door at the inn’s entrance.
“An official declaration from the Martial Arts Alliance Chief!”
Everyone in the inn perked up their ears at the man’s voice, and the Demon King’s two daughters, dressed in righteous sect clothes, also focused on the man’s voice.
“The solution for treating meridian blockage lies in the ‘Extreme Yang Preservation Pill’ refined by Medical Dragon Seok Mu Wol with his own true energy!”
“…Huh?”
“…….”
Shao Yanchi tilted her head, and Jin Hyun frowned one eyebrow.
“What is this…. No, they said sleeping was the solution, and suddenly they’re saying it’s treated with some pill? Then the sleeping part…!”
“They should just tell the truth, why bother packaging and disguising it? Is it my master’s intention?”
“What do you mean?”
“That it’s a disguise.”
Jin Hyun made a circle with her finger, then repeatedly thrust her chopsticks into it.
“This is the real method, but it’s awkward to publicly say this can solve it, so they’re euphemistically speaking around it.”
“But… if they say it like that, Mu Wol will….”
“Mu Wol is bound to receive everyone’s attention anyway. Love rival. Since we came from the same womb, I’ll tell you honestly.”
Jin Hyun stabbed the last remaining small dragon bun with her chopsticks.
“Do you really think it’s just a coincidence that meridian blockage spread throughout the Central Plains is merely one of the martial artists’ diseases, and that its only cure is Mu Wol alone?”
“Sister.”
“I….”
“You’re trying to seem like you know something, but in the end, aren’t you also trying to claim Mu Wol?”
“No. I don’t mind if Mu Wol… has a woman he loves, whether it’s Mo Yong Seol or anyone else… except for just one person.”
“Who, me?”
“No way.”
Jin Hyun shrugged her shoulders.
“I can’t let Mu Wol be taken by other women, but especially not by the youngest… no, the Evil Sect’s ‘Great Princess.'”

The news flies, reaching even the Evil Sect in Tianshan.
“My my.”
A white-haired girl like a young child received the news sent by carrier pigeon and smiled strangely.
“Big brother slept with a woman named Mo Yong Seol.”
“Great Princess, that’s not what’s important right now. The fate of the Evil Sect is at stake, so….”
Crush.
“……Heeh.”
“G-Great Princess…! Withdraw the Demon King Divine Technique…!”
The girl, clenching the paper in her hand, flashed her red eyes.
“That woman four years older than me… stole my big brother’s first time…?”
