## **Story**

### **The Demon Sword Arc**

While walking down the street Bu Young was harassed by Han Bi Kwang. Bu Young proceeded to kick Han Bi Kwang away while sarcastically remarking about how commonplace perverts had become.

Later that evening Bu Young was seen bathing in a lake when she was spotted by fellow bounty hunter Ji Yun Eun who said she was after Jil Sang Pil. After Ji Yun Eun noticed that someone was spying on them, she attacked Han Bi Kwang only to be repelled by the Black Winds. After Bi Kwang told the Black Winds to leave, Bu Young and Ji Yun Eun left him at the lake, not wanting to interfere with Cheon Ma Sin Gun's disciple.

Later, Bu Young was seen tailing Hyun Woo. After seeing him defeat a group of ambushers singlehandedly, she stated that he would be a much tougher challenge than she originally thought. Bu Young and Ji Yun Eun eventually made their way to a bar and began talking about how to capture Hyun Woo when they saw Song Mu Guild Master. Ji Yun Eun wondered why he was in White Flower Guild territory, but Bu Young simply ignored his presence. She was later seen surrounded by Ku Injun and his goons when she spotted Han Bi Kwang. She then pulled a dumbfounded Han Bi Kwang closer to her to try to manipulate her way out of the situation. Despite this, she was attacked by one of the goons who was angry at her for having his friends put in jail. Bu Young then used her whip to grab his hand and draw him closer before using her “White Freezing Palm” technique. After she defeated the goon, Ku Injun noticed her ability to use skills from Northern Ice Castle. As such, he approached her saying she was quite cocky for having such a worthless skill. Ku Injun then revealed his full power (which was quite impressive according to Bu Young) while stating that the Northern Ice Castle was full of cowards. He was then interrupted and defeated by Dan Wu-Hyeon, causing his goons to leave. Dan Wu-Hyeon then yelled at Bu Young and accused her of stealing the secret scroll of the Northern Ice Castle and running away. When Han Bi Kwang tried to leave Bu Young grabbed him and started to lie about their relationship to her father. She even claimed she stole the stroll for him when the confused Han Bi Kwang tried to refute her claims. While Han Bi Kwang remained confused about the situation, Bu Young accused him of using her for a one night stand and took off leaving him with her angry father.

After fleeing, she noticed some noise and spotted Jin Sang Pil fighting the Yu Sun Guild and Be-Hyun. As she overheard Jin Sang Pil and Be-Hyun talk she became worried about her father after hearing about Cheon Ma Sin Gun’s Disciples' abilities. She assumed that these worries were confirmed when she saw Han Bi Kwang emerge alone and untouched. Bi Kwang, sensing her worry (and seeking revenge for her lies about him) fooled her into thinking he killed her father, prompting her to run away in search of Dan Wu-Hyeon. Upon finding him unhurt, she queried about what happened between the two after she had left. When her father explained what happened and how Bi Kwang had claimed to be engaged to her, she realized she had been made a victim of his ploy. Bu Young’s father then proceeded to drag Bu Young back to the castle, while she unsuccessfully tried to explain the situation.

### **Duel at Hyun Bal Pa Arc**

Bu Young made her way to Cheon Ma Sin Gun’s Palace when she was spotted by Han Bi Kwang while attempting to enter the building. She thought about attacking him but realized manipulating him would prove more useful in escaping her father. Han Bi Kwang agrees to hide her, and  promises that he won’t tell her father that he saw her. However, when Dan Wu-Hyeon burst into the room looking for his daughter, Bi Kwang revealed her location. Angry at the betrayal, Bu Young attacked Han Bi Kwang, who evaded her onslaught. In frustration, she used a technique from the Northern Ice Castle, but is stopped by her father who mistakes the fight for a “lovers' quarrel”. Due to the disruption, Hong-Kyun and the Black Winds entered the room to find out the source of the issue. Sensing the perfect opportunity to escape once more, Bu Young manipulated the Black Winds to attack Dan Wu-Hyeon by accusing him of trying to hurt the young master. After Hong-Kyun attacked Dan Wu-Hyeon, Han Bi Kwang intervened, explaining that there was a misunderstanding. Bu Young then used the "White Freezing Palm” technique against her father -temporarily stunning him - and ran out of the room.

Running away from her father, she entered  Dam Hwa Rin's room in hopes of hiding. As she looked at Hwa Rin, she became flustered (thinking she was a handsome man). She then asked Hwa Rin for help in escaping her father by deceiving Hwa Rin into thinking he was intending to harm her. Hwa Rin agreed to help her, assuming her story to be true. It was at this moment that the so-called crazy man entered the room, having been in close pursuit. The two started to argue until Dan Wu-Hyeon decided to attack, forcing Hwa Rin to retrieve her sword (to the delight of Bu Young, who began to develop romantic feelings for her). During the conflict, Hwa Rin managed to cut Dan Wu-Hyeon hand, causing him to become enraged and beat her back with severe ferocity. Sensing the danger of the situation, Hwa Rin implored Bu Young to escape from the chaos, making Bu Young blush at the thought of being protected with such passion. After Hwa Rin challenged Dan Wu-Hyeon again saying she had yet to reveal her full strength, he attacked her with his “White Ice God Fist” technique, freezing her completely. Bu Young started crying thinking Hwa Rin was dead yelled that she hate her daddy and left.

Bu Young was then seen in a bar drinking and reminiscences about her time with Dam Hwa Rin. When she was spotted by Ku Injun goons who wanted revenge for their boss death. The grieving Bu Young decided to take them up on their offer since she was in a bad mood. When suddenly she passed out because the goons spiked her drink. As the goons fantasize raping her she was saved by Baek Mu Heun.

Bu Young was later seen dreaming of a “romantic encounter” with Dam Hwa Rin. When she finally woke up she saw Baek Mu Heun who told her she was at his place. After Baek Mu Heun told her to pay him for saving her life she asked him to leave crying because she feel guilty about Hwa Rin’s death. Once he left she ran away without paying him.

### **Legacy of the Ma Geum Rang Arc**

Bu Young was seen seducing Ju Yeong Don to get him to drop guard to collect his 100 tael bounty. Once he did Bu Young threw a towel over his face and defeated him with her whip. After this she looked out the window still thinking about the only man she ever loved. It was at this moment she noticed Han Bi Kwang out the window harassing females. She then approach Han Bi Kwang from behind and attack him and when he dodged and ran away she chased him.

Her and Ji Yun Eun are in a bar talking about Han Bi Kwang. With Ji Yun Eun wonder if he’s their for the same reason as them to catch Ma Geom Rang. Bu Young annoyed hearing about Han Bi Kwang lash out blaming him for “his” death.

Bu Young, Ji Yun Eun and alot of other bounty hunters are looking at a bunch of dead bodies killed by Ma Geom Rang. Ji Yun Eun is worried because a lot of high skilled warriors got killed without a chance to fight back. This is when Cha Jun Ho of the Sin Mu Guild showed up and told all the bounty hunter to leave Ma Geom Rang to him and his guild. When the bounty hunters complained Cha Jun Ho threatens them that’s when Baek Mu Heun appeared. When everybody was surprised to him Bu Young ask Ji Yun Eun if he was famous. After Ji Yun Eun said he’s from The Jiok Guild a guild of assassin Bu Young became shocked because once you join Jiok Guild you can’t get out of it anymore.

As Bu Young and Ji Yun En, Baek Mu Huen and the other bounty hunters follow Ma Geom Rang traces. Bu Young asked Ji Yun En why did Baek Mu Huen become a mere bounty hunter instead of making lots of money as a Jiok Guild killer? Ji Yun Eun answered by saying Baek Mu Huen has a big weakness towards woman and children.

As they continue following Ma Geom Rang traces Bu Young is worried that Baek Mu Huen is just walking around the mountain. Then all of sudden they’re attacked by Guak Saeng and his subordinates. Guak Saeng’s subordinates killed several bounty hunters then Baek Mu Huen attack them. When Baek Mu Huen was getting outnumbered Bu Young saved him saying she repaid her debt. Baek Mu Huen then saved her saying you’re still indebted to me. As she marveled at Baek Mu Huen quick draw Guak Saeng hit him with a sneak shot. Bu Young called Guak Saeng a coward saying that’s not the way of the martial world Guak Saeng say he’s not from the martial world. When Guak Saeng was about to kill her Cha Jun Ho saves her.

After the battle Bu Young wondered why where they attacked.

Later Bu Young was seen talking to Ji Yun Eun about how Cha Jun Ho isn’t arrogant like the people from White Force they usually meet. It was at this moment the signal for a Ma Geom Rang sighting appeared and they all took off.

Bu Young & the other bounty hunters went to a cave where Ma Geom Rang was trapped. Bu Young and Ji Yun Eun objected to using Gau Spring Reach Powder (an aphrodisiac) thinking it’s a dirty way to do business. After a while the cave explodes and coming out is Han Bi Kwang carrying  Ma Geom Rang. Bu Young is shocked and tried to attack Han Bi Kwang but because of the effects of the Spring Reach Powder Han Bi Kwang launch himself at her. Bu Young dodges Han Bi Kwang and watch terrified as he hump a rock and then explode. The other bounty hunters then tried to kill Han Bi Kwang thinking he was Ma Geom Rang accomplice. When Ji Yun Eun intervene saying he’s Cheon Ma Sin Gun’s disciple none of the bounty hunters believed her especially since Bu Young refuse to help. It was then Bu Young saw the swordsman who saved her against her father. She rush over to “him” crying, happy that’s he alive.

Later Bu Young was seen taking care of the past out swordsman. When she got annoyed at Ji Yun Eun for insinuating Han Bi Kwang almost died because of the swordsman instead of the other way around. When the swordsman made a noise. Ji Yun En wondered why it’s taking so long for “him” to wake up compared to Han Bi Kwang and asked if Bu Young administer the antidote properly. Bu Young then got angry at her and ordered Ji Yun Eun to find Gau.

When Ji Yun Eun left Bu Young took out the antidote and said she only gave the swordsman half and was going to use her body to treat the rest. She then threw the antidote away and preceded to sexually assault the swordsman. If was then Blade God appeared behind her. Bu Young freak out and told him to leave. It was then Blade God notice the swordsman sword. Thinking the swordsman was Ma Geom Rang Blade God looked at Bu Young with terrifying eyes and asked who was the swordsman. When the terrified Bu Young asked why Blade God scream at her to answer. Not understanding what was going on Bu Young attacked Blade God with her whip to protect the swordsman. When Blade God grabbed her whip Bu Young tried to use an attack from the Northern Ice Castle but Blade God immediately attack her pressure points knocking her out.

Two days later Bu Young was at Sin Mu Guild trying to return the swordsman belonging when Blade God took it away from her.
