Became the Blind Male Lead in a Reversed World

22 – Episode 22: Jeabongchim

1.

“Please treat my younger sister.”

Han Arin, the supreme disciple who spoke earnestly. I couldn’t nod my head rashly because my memories from the setup book were hazy.

“As you know, I am Han Arin, a disciple of Supreme Cheonghongchu Master.”

Han Arin introduced herself politely again. She spoke in a solemn atmosphere.

“My sister has an incurable disease.”

“An incurable disease?”

When I asked what it was, Han Arin lowered her head.

“Even doctors don’t know its name, so they asked our master…”

She said bitterly.

“It’s called ‘Yonghyeol.'”

“Yonghyeol?”

It was a name I had never heard before, but it sounded quite dangerous. But did Han Arin judge that I could treat it?

As I stared at her with such doubts, Han Arin gave additional explanations.

“Coming to Eunho-nim was our master’s suggestion. They said Yoo Adokjon Jang Myeongsun’s acupuncture technique is comparable to that of a god, and when they heard that Eunho-nim followed in his footsteps, our master told us to go see you.”

Han Arin scratched her cheek shyly and said,

“You can decide after seeing my sister’s condition. I’m asking for your help.”

In my invisible field of vision, I glanced at Yeonha and Yaha.

They showed signs of disapproval, but since it was about her sick sister, they couldn’t outright refuse.

Hm… If it’s the protagonist, they almost always have the intention to fix things.

For someone I have little information about in my memory, it’s a character from the transcendent realm.

“……….”

Well… now that they’ve come back too much…

Hiroin, who became a heroine after being affected by the Blood Mist and attacked by the Mage Guild, met her subordinate early on, and even the fallen Moyongse participated in the Wulin Sacred Association, already straying far from the main story.

I don’t have as many unnecessary worries as thinking about what will happen if several people ruin the story and lead it in a bad direction.

If you were going to do something, you should have done it earlier.

I nodded and smiled, accepting it willingly.

“If there’s anything I can do, I’ll help.”

Hanarin expressed gratitude at those words.

“First… would you entrust me with all the acupuncture techniques you know?”

“…Yes?”

“It’s not something I should say as someone who asked for help, but… my younger sister is still young. She might not be able to withstand acupuncture, so I want to experience its intensity firsthand.”

“Hmm…”

“Please.”

Pretending to hesitate, I agreed. Anyway, I was going to do it, but I wondered if I was just showing and copying all the acupuncture techniques grandma taught me.

“Yes, that’s fine. Would you like to lie down here?”

I looked at Pyeong Yahwa, who had been eating snacks since earlier, and Nam Gung Yeonha, who was staring at me intently, and asked.

“Can the two of you help with the preparations?”

“Of course.”

“……..Yeah. Anyway, today’s guest will be the last….”

.

.

.

“Hmm. Would you like to undress and lie down?”

“…Okay, I understand.”

I heard the sound of clothes and skin brushing. Without realizing it, my ears became warm.

“Y-You?!”

“Yeonha? Is something wrong?”

“Why are you acting like that?”

“Pervert?! What am I supposed to do if you really take off everything!”

Hmm… I suddenly felt disappointed that I couldn’t see ahead.

“W-wait… You just told me to take everything off…”

“Now, lie down here. Put this on. No matter how bad your vision is, Eunho is still a man. Please be aware of that…”

“…….Agreed.”

“You have a short attention span… Sorry.”

“Well… I’m fine actually…”

When I said I was fine, Pung Yahwa poked me even harder.

“But hey…. You should also be careful… During cleaning time… I saw you subtly colliding with Eunho… Everything.”

“What…?!”

“……Eunho hides his presence so that he won’t notice the seat you sat on… or suffocate you until Eunho sits on your knees… You’re the one who should be careful.”

Hearing Pung Yahwa’s teasing remarks, I was slightly shocked.

It wasn’t a coincidence. That’s why it happened often. I thought it was my mistake.

Though Eunho noticed my sensitivity, I didn’t change my expression at all.

To be honest, it was quite amusing. It was crazy to think that a girl would go crazy just to have subtle physical contact with me.

It was cute, in a way.

“Do you happen to have a defensive barrier surrounding you?”

“……Yes?”

“If not, it’s okay. I’ll sleep.”

“hehehe, interesting..?!”

They say the body is like a river. It flows down and circulates between upstream and downstream.

In order to make this river flow more strongly and efficiently, you have to loosen your body.

“I’m surprised… You’re quite bunched up. I thought those who had reached the realm of transcendence wouldn’t bunch up.”

“Ugh… ♥Euk…!”

I couldn’t see it, but I later heard from her that during my sleep, Pung Yahwa and Yeonha’s expressions twisted in a peculiar way.

By the way, is this influenced by the setting? Even if a woman has been trained to be strong, the bodies of the main characters were soft.

Yeonha too, and Pung Yahwa as well.

Ah… Except for Grandma.

Anyway, they only became firm when exerting force. Is that why…

In this manner…

“Yiheuk…♡”

“You seem to be in a good mood.”

It feels so good to touch a soft and supple body.

“Why do I feel…?”

“Did you notice? As I mentioned earlier, I know how to use three different techniques. In the process, there is also the assistance of the martial arts I provide.”

“Assistance… martial arts?”

The concept of “ki” can be expressed in various ways. It can be manifested in water and even in stone towers.

Take, for example, a stone tower. Although all energy circulates, sometimes it stays in its place.

The bricks of the stone tower created by the energy in our bodies move every day.

They change position and create new ones.

“This is…”

“It’s simply energy finding its rightful place.”

While energy circulates, there is also an optimal position it should be in.

I only guide the energy to that place.

Han Arin heard the sound of movement. Judging by the sound, it seemed like she was observing changes in her own body.

“It’s not over yet. Since I’ve brought you to an optimal state, I will explain everything step by step.”

First, I gently pressed the pressure points where she could receive combat energy.

“…Indeed… Even I, who rarely uses ki sensing, can move and act with my eyes closed.”

Starting with the ki sensing.

“I heard that not feeling pain is equivalent to the elimination of other senses… But to be able to feel touch properly without feeling pain… Is this even possible?”

Painlessness energy.

“Ah…!”

*Crackling sounds!* A wave of energy, like a waterfall, burst forth from her.

“What the…?”

“…Calm down… It’s what Eunho often did. However… Since it’s a realm of transcendence, I almost mistook it for an attack…”

Paengyaha, suppressing Yeonha, who was trying to draw her sword.

While looking at Han Arin, whose eyes widened and her mouth agape, I spoke.

It’s strengthening energy.

“…Is… is this just simple strengthening energy?”

It may be because I used the outer energy on my body, which is below the level of an average outer practitioner, but strengthening energy is the strongest energy I possess among my combat skills.

In an instant, my martial arts skills were elevated to a high-level of 3 stars. That’s all I could say.

But what’s more important is…

“As the strength of a person increases, the effect of this blood intensifies.”

“W-what’s the name of this blood?”

Um… Grandma didn’t specifically mention the name she had chosen for this blood.

“If you have a name you want to give it, go ahead and do so. It doesn’t matter.”

She said that…

I remembered the acupuncturist I saw in the webtoon before my transmigration.

“…Jeabong Needle.”

“…J-Jeabong Needle…”

Watching the aura waves spreading densely throughout the room, even reaching the faraway shops, I spoke.

“However, as a trade-off, you will experience headaches proportional to the duration. If severe, it might even lead to death.”

“W-What…?”

“I’ve set it for 30 seconds… let me see… 3…2…1.”

“Ugh…?!”

Hanarin tightly grasped her head as if it were about to shatter.

To relieve her headache, I placed my hand on her pink hair.

I haven’t actually seen the color, but I heard it was sakura pink.

Feeling a sense of relief coming from her head, Hanarin whimpered as she pressed my hand against her head.

“Uh… um…?”

“Ugh… It hurts so much…!”

“That’s good. That’s good.”

“You… Eunho! Don’t touch a woman’s head so casually! What if she misunderstands and tries to attack you like last time…?”

Because her pink hair felt soft, I stroked it affectionately. Although my voice sounded strangely resentful.

“Didn’t I also do it for you last time?”

“T-That… I told you to only do it for me…”

Only for me… Hanarin dropped her head down.

Seeing Hanarin looking so gloomy, I gestured for her to come closer cutely. She reluctantly approached as if she were still sulking.

“That’s a good girl. That’s a good girl~”

“……….”

“Hey, why didn’t you tell me before not to treat you like a child?”

“S..Shh! Everyone is here…”

“Teehee.”

I giggled and approached Hanarin, who was looking at us with a puzzled expression as I emerged from my headache.

I could feel her gaze.

“Do you two… date each other?”

Hanarin asked. I pondered carefully.

Honestly, among the heroines in stories, we’ve been together the longest… And if someone were to ask who I’m closest to, it would be Yaha Hua, right?

But with Balian Hwa… the way she wants to become close is a bit different.

“We haven’t confessed to each other yet.”

However, today, for some reason, even Balian Hwa seemed upset and grumbled.

“I’ve… always confessed though…”

“When you confessed by stepping on or hitting me.”

Balian Hwa, when we first met, whether it was biting her finger or asking to be hit, made many masochistic requests because I acted forcefully.

Even though I gave that answer, I could sense that Hanarin’s expression wasn’t pleased.

Hanarin remarked that our relationship is strange.

No, more accurately, she was referring to me.

“Gongja… is indeed quite fascinating. Most men usually try not to touch women unless necessary… Moreover, he doesn’t show much reaction even to such one-sided s*xual harassment.”

“Well… That’s true, right?”

“My sister doesn’t act like a girl and seems more like a boy, so I’m very worried… But Gongja is the opposite.”

I became subtly curious about her younger sibling due to those words.

“What kind of person is Arin’s younger sibling?”
