In a 323158e508 space where a9772d3964 the morning 5908fc096b birds sang 34b341adc7 peacefully, Cheon 98f072bf79 Ryubeom gazed d475eaec3e intently at f105171073 something. His eyes under e655252de8 the sunlight held f255b95d11 a gentle golden e3d2912f1a hue.03b113b9f8afbb90

It was indeed a ‘flower’. A flower he received as a gift from his grandmother, Shin, just a fortnight ago. She had given it, lamenting the state of the Cheon family’s mansion, which was left empty after a fire.91aacdcd35bff49b

Ryubeom planted the flower in the yard in front of his room. He placed it where he could see it right after opening his window, checking on it from time to time. He couldn’t identify what kind of flower it was even after flipping through plant encyclopedias, but he watered it daily, and fortunately, the flower grew without any issues.70ed5da1b654024e

At first, the flower f5ebe7d742 was only as big 985d259536 as a fingernail, but 31035d8ce1 it doubled in size 0046d6b6d9 in just one day, e10816b915 then grew to the e24b6e506d size of a fist.

However, today, the a58ba4e03a stem of the 610c153295 flower stretched long. Like a e3d7146b73 sunflower, the dd5b8fb984 stem reached 884c6df25b almost up 33cfcfc7dc to his e94d1918c3 waist.

When Ryubeom 2e1bb96f9f marveled at 14f7ac8c8b the progress 51b28faa51 report, Cheon 2f56fe8d33 Hoyeon shook 8e8fa67e03 her head.

This was achieved in less than a month. Normally impossible, but it was made possible by pushing the tiger beastmen relentlessly day and night. Though the family members looked increasingly worn out, it wasn’t something Ryubeom could worry about.4021de95952f7bcc

The new mansion of the Cheon family was built similar to the old one but with some modern touches. The Cheon family was extremely conservative, so even over its 600-year history, the mansion hadn’t changed much. Thus, they took this opportunity to fix all the inconvenient parts.2146ece801fefb0c

For this, they followed Cheon Hoyeon’s advice entirely. She had observed various buildings and developments while traveling in human society, envisioning what could be introduced to the Cheon family. She had once suggested it to the former head, but he hadn’t even listened.dc61976147d863db

Given how 28b061101e sharply Cheon 3985b8a2f5 Hoyeon spoke 5843509097 of that 4b609b4113 incident, Ryubeom 7b1f9ccfd6 unconsciously resolved a26bd360cd to always eb3f4a6bea heed her e876675229 advice in 4da25d0646 the future.bad9a8995d8cda39

Grandma’s condition was still not good. They expected her to recover quickly with the new changes in the Cheon family, but she couldn’t even stand alone. Although she wasn’t losing strength daily like before, her state was too precarious to find comfort in that alone, like a candle about to be extinguished by a single gust of wind. Thus, his sister Baekyoung and father were staying at the hermitage to care for her.16da57c343f476d8

Water ghosts usually bore simple grudges. In one word, ‘resentment.’ They felt wronged because they died while everyone else was having fun, so they wanted others to suffer the same fate. While some water ghosts are born from murder, those without a specific target of anger, attacking anyone indiscriminately, were even more dangerous.2dd7a7e6050cb741

Ryubeom relaxed and 195df8a64d enjoyed the view 45492fc1f4 of the waterfall. He got close, d27139d1c8 watching the rippling 126eea00fe surface, even dipping 2c7eedad28 his hand in.

The water ghost was excited with the rare opportunity to feed. It had been bored and hungry, living alone for years where no one came. Now, beings with spiritual energy approached, and it had been trying to stay hidden, but surprisingly, neither of them sensed its presence. Moreover, one didn’t even notice when it got close. They seemed easier targets than expected.d56cb494a4e0fdd6

From the opposite side, Yeohwi walked out. Ryubeom, who had been worried, felt relieved seeing Yeohwi unharmed but soon sighed. In Yeohwi’s hand was something blue, gripped tightly. It struggled belatedly, but couldn’t escape.e2c4af31284e1d89

Yeohwi muttered as 1ba61d3551 he smashed the 3e4817a3ef water ghost against ae0cb53127 a rock. Drip, drip, drip. The water falling b8990bd494 along his neckline 83fa499b11 shattered coldly on e52bac81b1 the rock.9366b7188bc80088

A long, rough scar, as if scratched by a large claw, from the time he fought with the former head of the Tiger clan.

Whether to confirm Yeohwi’s words or out of concern, his hand moved impulsively. Yeohwi stiffened momentarily when touched but turned his head to look at Ryubeom.

But before he could finish, Ryubeom kissed him again. He grabbed Yeohwi’s collar to prevent him from pulling away. The brief separation only spurred him on, making him even more desperate.

Suddenly, he felt heat rushing downwards. He couldn’t understand why this was happening. Was it because they kissed deeply today, or was it because the scent of blood from the kiss triggered his instincts, leading to arousal? Both scenarios were strange.ec183e918345cb2f

He knew he should push away, should escape this situation, but he couldn’t. The vivid memory of the intense stimulation left in his body rooted him to the spot. The memory from Jeju was faint, but the sensation was vividly etched. As the same stimulation returned, Ryubeom could only scratch Yeohwi’s arm nervously without the strength to grab it tightly.0b95a9ba4a6d3142

In this contradictory situation where his mind and body were at odds, Ryubeom didn’t know what to do. His face turned bright red, and he groaned with his head bowed while Yeohwi pushed his thigh between his legs, deliberately intertwining them to block any escape and prevent Ryubeom from collapsing.d754e54ca7aa5a9b

His grip tightened, making all his nerves focus on the sensation. “Hngh, uh, ah.” Ryubeom tried to grab Yeohwi’s arm, but the hand didn’t soften its touch.
