After Yueqin Wen, finally finished with her 'Discipling' of the Dryad, she suddenly felt a great sense of guilt.
As she began thinking 'Am I a bad person?'
Thinking back to her behaviour, could she have overreacted?
Feeling, it is wrong of her to judge a creature based on its reputation, she felt a sense of remorse, as she began to feel that what she has done is extremely wrong.
Turning to the Dryad, she was about to apologise when she found the Dryad didn't seem pained at all by the situation, and on the contrary, she seemed pleased?
Thinking that something is wrong, Yueqin Wen noticed she was to caught up in her own guilt and her convincing herself that she is doing the right thing, that she never truly paid attention to the Dryad's reaction herself.
Thus, seeing the Dryad seemed to be in ecstasy showing the opposite reaction what she expected, made Yueqin Wen felt a sudden feeling of trepidation.
Lavendia noticing Yueqin Wen becoming very pale, said, "Hey, that was fantastic! Truly, Dana's Master herself, your technique is even better than hers! Anyways, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."
With Yueqin Wen realising that the Dryad didn't seem to be affected by the punishment, meant to encourage a change of behaviour around Dana, she became increasingly worried at the thought of the Dryad being of a certain type, which even she feared.
A masochist?
Doesn't this mean that instead of 'Punishing' the Dryad, she had basically been rewarding it?
So, could she have done the opposite on what she intended, this whole time?
Yueqin Wen felt as if a great weight is pressing on her shoulders, as she felt she began to become increasingly dizzy.
Lavendia seeing that she somehow broke Dana's Master, suddenly became very worried at the thought of even harming her Master!
But, wait doesn't that mean she'll punish her?
As she excitable began to think these thoughts, she immediately discarded them, as if anything bad happened to her Master, then wouldn't her little life be forfeit?
So, Lavendia became gravely concerned for Yueqin Wen's health as she charged over before checking her condition.
Seeing she seemed to basically be alright, the Dryad lifted her easily before placing Yueqin Wen on her shoulder, allowing Yueqin Wen's pert bottom to be on display.
Lavenda who mischievously decided to take advantage of Yueqin Wen's stupor, and roughly slapped her behind as Yueqin Wen suddenly yelped at the sudden feeling of pain.
Smiling at Yueqin Wen's reaction, Lavendia headed towards Dana's location while sometimes slapping Yuewin Wen's rear causing her to let out an occasional whimper.
The Dryad found herself enjoying the experience of Yueqin Wen's soft behind when she slapped it but these actions came to a halt when she realised that Dana should be expecting her quickly, and would find it suspicious if she is gone too long.
Thinking that if she is caught doing such a thing she would be killed, Lavendia rushed back to Dana as she found both Dana and Maia, happily sitting next to each other while they were both generously eating all sorts of a different kind of food.
Seeing the large assortment of goods, Lavendia found there were many carcasses of different Spirit Beasts within the Secret Realm, not to mention a Spirit Fruits!
Witnessing how extravagant her Master is, due to the expenses of each of the things Dana is currently casually eating would be worth a fortune to any of the Tier 3 Sects.
Eventually, Dana noticed Lavendia's presence, but a look of confusion appeared on her face as she saw the barely conscious Yueqin Wen on Lavendia's shoulder, so she said, "Hey, what happened to Master? You better not have done anything to her or..."
Seeing the scary look appearing on Dana's face, Lavendia hurriedly explained saying, "Master I swear she is just unconscious, and no harm has come to her whatsoever! She just suddenly fainted in front of me, so I carried to you as quickly as possible!"
The killing intent within Dana's eyes calmed down at the Dryads answer, causing her to sigh in relief but Dana's next words caused an excited gleam to appear within her eyes, "But, you must ensure my Master has fully recovered! So, stay by her side and tell me when she wakes up."
Thinking that she can take advantage of this situation, a mischevious look appeared within the Dryad's features.
But, Dana soon noticed the creepy expression on the Dryad's face and said, "On second thought, Maia you do it! You're the most sensible one after all."
Seeing her original plan being crumbling because of Dana, Lavendia said, "Why? Aren't I perfectly capable of doing this!"
Dana just said as a reply, "Do you not think I didn't notice that weird look within your eye? I don't trust you not to take advantage of my Master, therefore Maia will wait until she awakes, while you will be as far away from her as possible..."
Becoming disappointed at the thought of not being able to take advantage of such a rare opportunity, the Dryad was about to complain once again but is instantly shut down by a death glare from Dana which hinted that there is nothing that will change her current thought.
Having their roles successfully allocated, Dana, Lavendia and Maia who is carrying Yueqin Wen headed off towards the Elemental Sect within their human forms, due to having Yueqin Wen in the group Dana couldn't transform into a Frost Wyvern, thus their trip to the Elemental Sect ended up being prolonged for a longer period.
A few hours later in their journey, Yueqin Wen suddenly regained consciousness completely confused upon what is going on and upon seeing herself being carried by Maia instinctively became panicked causing her to send the Griffin tumbling onto the ground.
Dana who saw her Master finally awoken and is currently in a state of confusion, shouted, "Master, calm down it's me! You suddenly fainted for some reason, so Maia has been carrying you for the past few hours."
Yueqin Wen who calmed down after hearing her disciple's voice suddenly felt a pang of pain on her buttocks.
Wondering why she seemed to feel a sense of discomfort in her rear, her thoughts suddenly wandered back to the Dryad.
Thinking of the previous events which happened, she thought was it possibly a dream?
The last thought she had was the Dryad having a face of bliss, but surely this couldn't be the truth?
As wouldn't she have noticed during the 'Punishment'?
As Yueqin Wen is troubled over these thoughts, she is suddenly awoken out of her daze by Dana as she said, "Master are you alright? If you want to rest for a bit its fine, or we could find some accommodations for you to recuperate in, as I'm sure we can find a nice place within a Town to stay at."
Hearing her disciples concern for her, Yueqin Wen smiled before she said, "It's fine, let's just continue to the Elemental Sect, I know you need to enter closed-door cultivation as quickly as possible! After all the Sect Gathering is not too long away, so you should treat all the time you have as precious in order to become as strong as possible! I cannot see you losing to that Chao Sung..."
Listening to her Master's words, Dana nodded before they all began travelling again, accept this time Yueqin Wen walked by herself without any assistance.
Eventually, a few weeks passed before they finally arrived at the outskirts of the Elemental Sect territory, Dana smiled as they finally arrived back.
"I guess I've finally returned, now I have the opportunity to finally use the gains I made from the Secret Realm" Dana mumbled.
Saying these words, after a few moments of staring at the territory of the Elemental Sect, they once again began heading towards the headquarters of the Elemental Sect.
