In an instant, his face blazed with heat. Cheongyeon’s unworthy pride, just as Muwon had said, was plainly visible, leaving him feeling embarrassed.
“…The cost of my decoction is not that expensive. 50 hwan is enough.”
“You should charge for the patience of not spitting.”
His words made it sound like he was sure that Cheongyeon had spat in it. Against Muwon’s arbitrary judgment, Cheongyeon mustered up courage once again.
“Why are you keeping watch over me?”
Whish- Suddenly, he reached out his hand, causing his body to flinch. To Tae Muwon, it might have been a trivial action, but Cheongyeon, always a beat too slow to react, couldn’t help but be startled. Muwon’s movements were that agile.
He wrapped his hand around Cheongyeon’s waist and pulled him towards him swiftly. It felt as if Muwon’s large palm encompassed his entire back. Perhaps a lobster caught in a human’s hand would feel this immobile. Even a sperm whale caught in the suckers of a giant squid might… Cheongyeon felt a strange sense of kinship with these marine creatures.
Muwon tilted his face down. This man, a creature of God without a single flaw, or rather, an incarnation of beauty itself, was perfect from any angle.
“You know what?”
What would I know? Cheongyeon just shook his head.
“I’m handsome, wealthy. Ah, I admit there’s a flaw in my personality. But still, I’m not bad, right? Don’t you think so?”
His unexpected words made Cheongyeon furrow his brows.
Instead of answering why he was watching Cheongyeon, Muwon had returned with a strange response. It was not unexpected that Tae Muwon had no obligation to answer his question, though he had the duty to respond. It was unfair, but in a world ruled by power, Cheongyeon had to accept it.
“Even when you frown, you’re pretty.”
Muwon pressed and smoothed out the furrow between his eyebrows with his index finger. Receiving a compliment on his looks from someone with a large and strong body that he did not possess felt less like praise. It felt as if a superior person was showing him leniency, saying he wasn’t too bad as well.
“Please let me go.”

Cheongyeon pushed against Muwon’s chest, but only felt the heat of his body temperature, his body not moving an inch. It had been too long since he had directly touched another person’s body. The firm texture felt strange to his hand.

However, to his astonishment, Hwang Ran was now admiring his penis, erect as it had been ten years ago. Not only that, on his way back to the lodge, the people of Cheonghwa Town seemed incredibly beautiful. Their skin, unwashed and grimy, beaten by the sea breeze to become rough like tree bark, now appeared radiant to him.
Sitting on the sofa, Hwang Ran boldly displayed his erect member to the server clearing the table. The outline of his thickly swollen penis was visible through his pants. Surely, the person he saw last night wasn’t as beautiful as now, but now they seemed worthy of the name “pretty boy”.
“Ahem, hmm, would 500 hwan be enough to, um, call you?”
The server, who was lifting a large tray onto his shoulder, frowned.
“Shall I call someone to serve you?”
“Do you not serve guests?”
“500 hwan is nowhere near enough.”
“Then, how about 1,000 hwan!”
Upon hearing the offer of 1,000 hwan, the server’s disdainful gaze towards Hwang Ran softened. He promptly took off his shirt, responding indifferently to Hwang Ran’s bewildered look.
“Sir, payment is required upfront.”
Hwang Ran, throwing bills onto the bed in haste, eagerly pounced on the server. He proceeded to undress him and, without delay, attempted penetration after applying some perfume oil. Exclamations of excitement burst from Hwang Ran’s mouth one after another, his excitement reaching a peak as if it were his first experience. Nevertheless, the erection lasted so long it felt like paradise.
After completing the act three times, even the previously aloof server let out satisfied moans, praising Hwang Ran’s performance throughout the night as unmatched in vigor despite his age.
With a smug expression, Hwang Ran patted the employee who praised him on the back. To have embraced a man in haste instead of a woman yet find him endearing was unexpected for Hwang Ran. He gently stroked the server’s face with his hand, intending to enjoy a bit more. However, when he brushed away the hair covering the server’s forehead, Hwang Ran screamed in shock.
The beauty he thought he held was gone, replaced by a grimy and unattractive man in his arms.
“Darling, what’s wrong, all of a sudden?”
As the server snuggled up to him with a coquettish attitude, Hwang Ran recoiled in shock. Having always chosen his partners based on his own standards of beauty, Hwang Ran trembled with rage and embarrassment. He quickly dressed, leaving the puzzled server behind, and dashed out of the room, only to be met with a disdainful look from a mercenary guarding the door.
The sounds of Hwang Ran’s pleasures had apparently reached outside, eliciting praise for his beauty. Hwang Ran feigned nonchalance.
“One must sometimes indulge in exotic tastes in life.”
He coughed and strode out, hands behind his back. The Canal inn, considered a premium lodging in Cheonghwa Town, buzzed with people out for dinner, matching the evening timing. The people, once perceived as beautiful, now seemed unattractive.
“Did I see an illusion?”
He hadn’t even drunk any alcohol, so that seemed unlikely. Trying to clear his head in the night air, Hwang Ran suddenly perked up.
“It’s expensive, since it’s effective.”
“To increase immunity?”
“For stamina.”
The bizarre situation surely stemmed from the lotus tea, boasting a fantastic flavor!
Hwang Ran quickly turned back towards the innkeeper. The innkeeper, treating Hwang Ran as an important guest for housing even mercenaries, greeted him respectfully.
“Mr. Hwang Ran, may I assist you with something?”
“Is there an apothecary in this town?”
In urgency, Hwang Ran caught his breath.
“An apothecary? There are four or five places just in our area. Shall I take you to the largest one?”
“Isn’t there an apothecary with a very pretty face! I’m looking for him!”
The innkeeper immediately thought of Cheongyeon upon hearing the description of a pretty apothecary but shook his head. Like Hwang Ran, There had been many outsiders and pirates who approached Cheongyeon solely because of his looks. The innkeeper quietly warned Hwang Ran at the counter.
“If you intend to do something to him, it’s best to refrain. None have ended well in doing so.”
“Look here, innkeeper. Are you insinuating I’m a scoundrel? I intend to conduct business with the apothecary.”
The innkeeper, about to share the rumors about Cheongyeon, decided it was futile against Hwang Ran’s stern reprimand.
“Then I’ll have one of our servers guide you.”
“If it’s the boy who came to clear my room, send someone else.”
The innkeeper, though puzzled by Hwang Ran’s request, complied.
Hwang Ran, following the innkeeper’s instructions, headed to the apothecary with another server. As they descended into the lower areas of District E, Hwang Ran couldn’t hide his curiosity.
To possess such skills yet live in poverty? Perhaps the crass beggars of Cheonghwa Town couldn’t appreciate the taste of fine tea. Despite experiencing its effects firsthand, Hwang Ran harbored some skepticism about the tea’s supposed benefits, given the implausible phenomena. However, the prolonged erection was real as it was.
“There, in front of the inn, is Cheongyeon’s apothecary.”
It had been about a 30-minute walk from the lodging to a somewhat destitute place where there were no waterways. The server pointed to a worn sign, barely illuminated by the light from a nearby inn.
“I’ll meet him alone, wait here.”
Hwang Ran instructed the mercenaries who followed him. If the apothecary was as skilled as unknown to the people of Cheonghwa Town, Hwang Ran planned to haggle effectively. Considering that he sold lotus tea for 300 hwan, he didn’t seem like a guy who didn’t know the market price at all. However, since Hwang Ran was an experienced merchant, he was confident that he could somehow cook and boil Cheongyeon.
Coughing, he was scratching his head for no reason as he approached the place where he could see the inside of the herbal medicine store. Hwang Ran quickly took his steps back.
“W- what! Why is that crazy guy…?”
Anyone could tell he was just looking at the back of his colorful jacket. It was Tae Muwon.
