Chapter 21: Princess Treatment (2)

This is not what I had in mind...

Earlier, he had offhandedly mentioned that he needed to kill goblins before they could be intimate. Although it was a remark to get Gina off him, she had taken it to heart.

In her mind, if YuWon wanted goblins dead, then she would kill every one of them to make him happy and get intimate with him as soon as possible.

However, that wasn't the only reason. Gina knew YuWon saw goblins as his enemies and she wanted to set herself aside from that category, that's why she was hunting any goblin that she saw despite being one herself.

I don't think those goblins had ever been this terrified in their lives.

Gina had an overwhelming aura. The goblins could sense her and when they did, they immediately fled.

Unfortunately, Gina was faster than them and it only took her a second or two to kill them, even if they had a head start. YuWon stood back, watching as she swiftly dispatched them one by one.

So much gold and experience wasted...

YuWon couldn't do anything but watch. He had tried taking part in the hunts, but Gina's growl made him change his mind for the better. He only hoped she could also level up like he did or else... he'd never forgive himself for standing idly.

"There, beloved," she said with a proud smile. "They're all gone. None of those filthy creatures will bother you anymore."

"Uh, thanks, Gina," YuWon scratched the back of his head, unsure of how to respond. "Also, I told you to call me YuWon—"

Ignoring his question, she leaned towards him and asked, "Do I please you, husband?"

YuWon sighed. He wasn't used to this kind of attention, but Gina insisted on giving him the princess treatment. However, it came at a cost, and that's why she was leaning forward, with her head bowed.

"Yeah, you did great," he said and patted her head awkwardly.

As he touched her, Gina's smile widened, as she was practically glowing with pride.

"I'll keep hunting them down until there are none left," she declared, clenching her fist. "All for you and our... future child."

"C-Child? You don't have to go that far," YuWon laughed nervously.

However, Gina wasn't listening. She was already scanning the area for more goblins to hunt, and was gone once she sensed them. As she took off again, YuWon sighed, watching her go.

Watching them fail, Jaehwan shook his head in disbelief.

"Why do I even bother with these idiots?" he said. "I got to deal with him myself now."

"About time you showed up," YuWon smirked.

"What? You missed me?" Jaehwan retorted. "Although I gotta say I didn't expect to see you walking around like this. Hell, had it not been for your friends, I would have thought you were already dead."

"Friends? Oh, you mean Soo-Ah," YuWon shrugged. "I didn't think she'd be worried about me."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, although you should leave," YuWon said dismissively. "If you want to live, that is."

"Leave? You think you can scare me with a threat?" Jaehwan laughed. "Just so you know, we can't kill each other."

YuWon frowned. Only a person who's tried to kill someone would know the rule.

"Have you killed someone, Jaehwan?"

"Kill? No, I haven't killed anyone," He replied, licking his lips. "But, you know, if a few defenseless girls happen to get found by monsters... then that's not exactly my fault, is it?"

YuWon's expression darkened. He knew what Jaehwan was implying, and it sickened him. However, by admitting to it, Jaehwan made things easier for YuWon.

Any doubts YuWon had about what he needed to do were gone. Jaehwan wasn't just a bully—he was a monster in his own right and as a monster hunter, it was his job to kill them, right?

Unfortunately, the blabbermouth didn't hold back and made things worse for him.

"You know, YuWon," Jaehwan continued. "Since your reputation is already in the gutter, why don't I make your life even more miserable?"

"Oh yeah? How will you do that?" YuWon smirked, knowing it was the last conversation Jaehwan would ever have.

"It's easy. If I tell everyone that you molested someone and got them killed, they'll believe me. That's what I'm going to do—ruin you completely before I let the monsters hunt you. That'll be fun!"

While Jaehwan said all those things, something felt off. The fucker had always been a bit unhinged, but this was too much. Even for Jaehwan.

"You're disgusting, Jaehwan," YuWon took a deep breath. "But you're right about one thing. Someone is going to die today."
