To My Flower-Like S-Class Guide 138

Chapter 138:

A small, young woman, barely fifteen years old, stared directly at him. Despite her petite stature, she exuded an overwhelming aura of power.

In that moment, Park Hyung-woo realized.

She was the strongest.

He had always believed he was the true strongest in Korea, but he had been mistaken.

The true powerhouse, Korea’s strongest Esper, was this fifteen-year-old girl standing before him.

‘All the S-ranks in Korea are nothing compared to her.’

Dark eyes scanned him from head to toe. He stood frozen in shock.

Normally, he would have been enraged by such a look, but overwhelmed by her presence, Park Hyung-woo couldn’t utter a word.

He couldn’t forget that day, even after almost nine years. Perhaps that was why he harbored such intense hatred towards Seo Jae-yi.

Because she had made him acutely aware of his own inadequacy. He had realized he wasn’t the strongest, just another S-rank.

And this recent incident had brutally confirmed that his memory wasn’t a delusion.

He could never defeat Seo Jae-yi. He would never be able to surpass her, not in this lifetime.

‘…So I have to run.’

If he couldn’t win, he would flee. To a place where Seo Jae-yi couldn’t reach him.

Park Hyung-woo clenched his fists.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

The sharp ringing of his phone shattered the silence of his office. He flinched and glanced at the screen, his face pale.

He wondered if it was someone who had discovered his presence in the Gapyeong village, but the caller ID displayed “Restricted.”

‘…Should I answer?’

After a moment of hesitation, Park Hyung-woo answered. A distorted voice echoed from the phone.

—Hello, you fool who couldn’t even kill Seo Jae-yi.

It was a bizarre voice, almost mechanical, like a toy.

Park Hyung-woo’s face hardened at the distorted voice’s words.

“Who are you?”

—Are you going to run again? Is that all you can do?

“Who are you?!”

—To think you would try to kill Seo Jae-yi, despite your incompetence. You pathetic loser, you useless, powerless fool!

“You bastard! Shut up! Shut up!”

—There’s nowhere for you to run. You’ll lose everything in the end. Hahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha!

A chilling laughter echoed from the phone, filling the empty office.

Park Hyung-woo threw the phone, as if the voice was mocking him from all directions. Crack! The phone shattered, and the sound finally stopped.

But the laughter lingered in his ears.

“Aaaaaargh!”

He screamed, clutching his head, as if he was going insane.

The entire world was laughing at him.

“He hung up.”

A small villa provided by Jang Woo-seok.

Park Jung-soo muttered, looking at the doll, which could record voices, and the phone.

Park Hyung-woo of Taesan Guild.

Knowing his desire to kill Seo Jae-yi, Park Jung-soo had sent him a gift.

Seo Joo-il’s Guide Factor, which he had often used on Seo Jae-yi during his experiments.

Seo Jae-yi was sensitive to it, so he had thought even an incompetent fool like Park Hyung-woo could weaken her.

He hadn’t expected him to kill her. There was no way that trash could kill Seo Jae-yi.

His role was simply to create a small opening, a tiny vulnerability Seo Jae-yi wouldn’t normally show.

Park Jung-soo had planned to use that opening to separate Seo Jae-yi from her Guide and conduct the experiment he had been longing for.

‘I didn’t expect a Rank 2 dungeon to emerge nearby.’

His plans had been ruined.

He didn’t know when another opportunity like this would arise.

“…I should leave this place soon.”

Park Jung-soo looked around the room.

The villa Jang Woo-seok had provided was comfortable, despite being under heavy surveillance. It wasn’t a bad place to live, even though it lacked proper equipment for experiments.

But it was time for him to leave.

“…”

He looked at Seo Jae-yi’s Guide Factor.

A beautiful, shimmering red liquid, like flames.

He felt a strange sensation whenever he looked at this liquid, which seemed to embody Seo Jae-yi herself.

Ah, when would he finally succeed? He had to succeed to fulfill his wish.

“Just once, just one opportunity…”

Park Jung-soo muttered, staring intently at the liquid.

His voice, laced with a strange longing, was chilling.

“…Hah.”

Inside the Forest Dungeon cave.

Seo Jae-yi lay on the large, plush bed, so comfortable that she felt like she could roll around for hours without falling off, her mind still hazy.

She didn’t know how many hours, or perhaps days, she had been with Baek Joo-won.

She had tried to leave the bed countless times. But every time, she had been caught and pulled back into his embrace.

‘No, it wasn’t… torment, was it?’

It hadn’t been torment. It had been a treatment, a healing act, not just a physical release of desire.

Baek Joo-won had Guided her throughout their time together. Constantly, without a single break, even as he gave her pleasure!

She hadn’t even been able to sleep because of his pure, refreshing, exhilarating Guiding.

How could she possibly be tired when she was receiving Guiding through intimacy from a Guide with a 93% Matching Rate? She had been too energized.

‘My mind is mush, but my body is wide awake.’

Seo Jae-yi was an S-rank Esper, and her Guide was a dungeon master with similar power. Neither of them tired easily, so they had been together for days, perhaps even longer.

And as a result…

【Overload Progress — 5%】

“…This is amazing.”

A number she hadn’t seen since her early days of Awakening was displayed on her receiver.

The mass of heat that had been residing within her, slowly killing her, wasn’t something that could be easily dispelled, even with intimate relations with a Guide.

But now, most of it had vanished, thanks to the relentless Guiding of a dungeon master with stamina and power far exceeding any ordinary Guide.

Seo Jae-yi felt incredibly good, considering what she had been through.

So this was what it felt like to have a light body, what it felt like to be a normal person.

No headaches, no difficulty breathing, no fear of her power leaking out.

She was in perfect condition, beyond even what she considered normal.

“Do you feel good?”

Baek Joo-won, who had left the bed for a while, returned. Seo Jae-yi flinched, startled by his appearance, his long robe draped over his shoulders.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“I’m always surprised when I see you now. I never know what you’ll do next.”

Their time together had been good. Really good.

But too much of a good thing could be a poison.

She honestly liked the feeling of her mind melting with pleasure, but she wished he would take it easy sometimes.

“You’re back to normal thanks to me.”

He handed her a bottle of cold water and leaned down, gently biting the tender skin on the inside of her arm. A new mark appeared on her skin, already covered with red bite marks.

“I admit it was a bit… much. I didn’t intend for it to go this far.”

Seo Jae-yi, sipping the water, looked at him with a puzzled expression as he continued kissing her skin.

“I wanted to savor you slowly, leisurely. It was the culmination of a long wait, so it was only natural. But the situation didn’t allow for that.”

“What did you want to do if it wasn’t… this?”

“I wanted to taste every inch of you, from head to toe.”

Baek Joo-won smiled mischievously and scanned her body with his eyes. And as if that wasn’t enough, his eyes were filled with longing again.

What was even more ridiculous was that her body was reacting to that look, even though she wanted him to stop.

Who was she kidding? Seo Jae-yi had enjoyed it. A lot. How could she not? It wasn’t just about the Guiding.

‘A serpent… Yes, he was like a serpent.’

The feeling of his essence filling her, reaching deep within her stomach… How could any woman dislike that? And he was incredibly skilled.

A breathtakingly beautiful man with exceptional skills? He was the perfect partner, the one she couldn’t let go of.

“Were you also… unsatisfied?”

Seo Jae-yi licked her lips, looking at his robe-clad body. Baek Joo-won smiled happily, seeing her reaction.

“It’s your fault. You tamed me.”

“I love that. The more tamed you are, the less you’ll be able to leave me.”

“You’re such a fox.”

“A fox? I’m not a fox.”

His playful words sparked a question in Seo Jae-yi’s mind. Why hadn’t she asked him this before?

“Hae-wi.”

She grabbed his hair, which had fallen onto her chest, and pulled him up. He looked at her, dumbfounded, his hair suddenly yanked.

“You always have to pull my hair, don’t you?”

“Your long hair is so easy to grab. Anyway, Hae-wi, this isn’t your true form, is it?”

He was currently in his human form.

But Seo Jae-yi knew. There were no monsters in the world that looked exactly like humans, even with different eyes, like Baek Joo-won. No such monster had ever appeared since the Cataclysm, so why would he be any different?

“No.”

As expected. Seo Jae-yi nodded at his answer, as if she had known.

“What’s your true identity?”

“Are you curious?”

She was. Very curious. She wanted to know more about him since she planned to stay with him.

But…

“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I don’t want to force you.”

It was her own curiosity, and his thoughts might be different, so Seo Jae-yi spoke calmly.

“I like your consideration.”

Baek Joo-won kissed her cheek softly.

She liked his kisses, but she also liked these light, gentle touches. It felt like there was affection between them, not just desire.

“I didn’t tell you because there was no reason to, not because I was hiding it.”

He leaned in, his lips brushing against her ear. Their cheeks touched. As she was distracted by the soft sensation of his skin against hers, she heard his whisper.

Seo Jae-yi’s eyes widened.

“…Really?”

“Why? Do you want to see it?”

“Yes, I do.”

Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, and Baek Joo-won grinned.

“Later.”

“What? Why?! Don’t take it back after offering it!”

“I’m not saying I won’t show you. I just have something more important to do right now.”

“More important…?”

Her indignant protest was cut short.

His large hand rested on her thigh, his fingers tracing the curve of her skin, his touch filled with a clear, burning desire.

“Jae-yi, I’m still… not sated.”
