After calming her internal spiritual energy with her hands, Lin Yaoyao exhaled a breath of turbid air. She sensed that someone was sneaking up behind her. Could it be the master again, spying on her? No way, she thought, I have to go and give the master a good lecture. At his age, he should be practicing diligently instead of loafing around and even spying on his disciple while she's bathing. Once or twice might be excusable, but every time is too much!
Lin Yaoyao finished dressing in her red skirt underwater and leaped out, using her spiritual energy to dry the moisture from her clothes. Looking back, she saw a figure lurking Secretly and stealthily in the peach mountain behind her.
"Come out!" Lin Yaoyao shouted coldly.
Upon hearing his senior sister's angry tone, Xiao Bai, knowing he had been exposed, turned to run. But Lin Yaoyao, like a fairy, lightly touched her toes in the air and gracefully landed in front of Xiao Bai.
"Xiao Bai, what are you doing in my peach mountain?" Lin Yaoyao frowned.
Expecting it to be the master, she was surprised to find it was Xiao Bai.
"S-senior sister, I was just passing by," Xiao Bai lied, blushing.
Lin Yaoyao glared at Xiao Bai's guilty expression and said coldly, "Are you going to come forward and get punished, or should I chase you down and beat you up?"
Xiao Bai's heart sank at the words. He was in big trouble now.
"Senior sister, I didn't mean it, and I didn't see anything!" Xiao Bai protested frantically.
"Three..."
"Two..."
"Senior sister, don't say one, I'm coming!" Xiao Bai hurried over, fearing the severity of her punishment.
"Get down!" Lin Yaoyao commanded.
Xiao Bai obediently lay down.
Lin Yaoyao plucked a peach blossom branch and landed it on Xiao Bai's back.
Pat! Pat! Pat!
Xiao Bai felt the physical pain, not severe but deeply humiliating.
As the Demon Emperor, when had he ever been spanked?
Stop it, stop it! It's humiliating!
"Do you know you're wrong?" Lin Yaoyao asked as she continued to spank him.
"Yes, I know I'm wrong," Xiao Bai quickly admitted.
Lin Yaoyao gave him two more swats and scolded, "Why do you learn bad things instead of good ones?"
"Deserved it!"
For learning to spy like the master instead of something worthwhile.
The master is the master, and disciples can't hit their masters. But you're my junior, so I can discipline you.
Holding his fishing rod, Ye Kong watched from afar as his senior disciple disciplined her junior.
Peach blossoms drifted in the air.
The senior disciple's stick landed on the junior's back, but the pain didn't reach Ye Kong's heart.
After watching for a while, Ye Kong flipped his hand and took out the Bliss Whip. Yes, even though the senior disciple had already disciplined the junior, Xiao Bai couldn't escape his turn. As a master, he must be fair to all.
With his hands behind his back, Ye Kong walked over slowly.
Just as Lin Yaoyao finished, she saw the master approaching.
"Master!" Lin Yaoyao greeted with a bow.
Xiao Bai, about to get up, heard the master's voice and froze.
"Stay down," Ye Kong said calmly.
Xiao Bai felt an ominous premonition.
Master, I haven't offended you! Senior sister can beat me, but you too?
Do you really think I'm easy to bully?
If you dare to hit me, I'll suppress you with all my might!
Lin Yaoyao looked at the master's whip and understood. The master was here to discipline her junior.
This whip had a special effect, leaving one feeling refreshed and comfortable after being whipped.
"Xiao Bai, today I will discipline you," Ye Kong said calmly.
"Master, please be gentle," Xiao Bai pleaded weakly, not daring to resist with Lin Yaoyao watching.
If he suppressed the master, Lin Yaoyao would surely suppress him right back.
Better to take the beating than get suppressed.
The pain is temporary, but suppression lasts a lifetime.
Ye Kong nodded slightly and began to whip Xiao Bai with the Bliss Whip.
Pat! Pat! Pat!
The Bliss Whip left only faint red marks on Xiao Bai's body, accompanied by a radiant glow.
Xiao Bai had been gritting his teeth to endure the pain, but instead of hurting, it felt comfortable.
His body felt warm, like being bathed in sunshine, very soothing.
It was so comfortable that Xiao Bai suddenly realized a surge of incredibly pure spiritual energy was entering his body through his back, charging his spirit sea.
Pat! Pat! Pat!
Ye Kong's expression remained neutral as he continued to whip Xiao Bai.
If anyone saw this, they might mistake it for a parent disciplining their disobedient child.
Xiao Bai felt his mind becoming unusually clear, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment!
Enlightenment! I've entered the state of enlightenment by getting whipped by my master?!
This is a blessing in disguise!
Xiao Bai immediately immersed himself in it, and the previously elusive Xuanhuang Decree suddenly became clear to him.
His cultivation also improved significantly.
"Comfortable~" Xiao Bai couldn't help but exclaim, then quickly covered his mouth.
As the Demon Emperor, how could he indulge in such pleasures?
Moreover, the master was a tricky one!
The last two times I felt comfortable, I lost my cultivation and my physical body, respectively.
What will I lose this time?
It's over... I'm doomed.
The master wants me to die from comfort!
Wahhh...
I'm so comfortable!
Xiao Bai's heart was torn between discomfort and enjoyment.
After administering one hundred lashes, Ye Kong stopped.
"Meditate on what you've learned, and I'll be going back," Ye Kong said, putting away the whip.
"Master!" Lin Yaoyao suddenly called out.
"What is it?"
Ye Kong turned to see Lin Yaoyao biting her lip, her face flushed, as if she had something difficult to say.
"I want... I want..."
"I want to ask the master to whip me again!" Lin Yaoyao said with difficulty.
She knew that the whipping enhanced her cultivation.
Though it was humiliating, she couldn't care less for the sake of her progress.
"Alright, I'll come and whip you again at night," Ye Kong said and walked away with the whip.
Lin Yaoyao was stunned by her master's response.
Master, I meant now, not at night!
Coming to my room at night could easily lead to misunderstandings, especially in front of Xiao Bai.
What about my dignity as the Demon Emperor?
I won't open the door for you at night!
Lin Yaoyao made up her mind.
Xiao Bai slowly got up, tears in the corners of his eyes, looking miserable.
"Junior, are you okay?" Lin Yaoyao asked, puzzled.
"Did the master hurt you?"
The whipping didn't hurt when the master did it to me!
But... you're still young, and your skin is delicate, so it might be painful.
The master should know Xiao Bai is young but still whipped him.
Now look, he's crying!
Xiao Bai didn't answer Lin Yaoyao's question, hugged his arms, and walked away.
Back in his room, he crossed his arms over his chest, closed his eyes, and lay down on the bed.
I'm doomed, I'm going to die.
This time it's so comfortable, I'm definitely going to die.
I'm so miserable, I'm going to die from comfort.
Xiao Bai had given up; he couldn't handle the master's kindness.
The first time he got too comfortable by a fire and lost his cultivation, and the second time, he drank some sweet tea and lost his physical body.
This time, being whipped felt so comfortable...
I'm going to die, I'm going to die!
Xiao Bai lay still on the bed, resigned to never waking up again.
But soon, snoring sounds filled the room.
"Snore~ Snore~ Snore~"
