CHAPTER 45
Something's Wrong! The First Disciple Is Very Wrong!
============================================================
Su Cheng was now bound by the demon-slaying sword array formed from holy blood, with no escape possible…
This little fool was undoubtedly Su Cheng's nemesis!
Holy blood, which held extraordinary efficacy against demons and monsters, rarely granted significant advantage in combat. Instead, it took a heavy toll on Li Shiyao.
But for Su Cheng, it worked…
Yet this was a secret even Ye Qinghan remained unaware of. Su Cheng himself hadn't anticipated that this holy blood would exert such overwhelming suppression over him…
Su Cheng resembled a prisoner led to the execution ground awaiting his sentence. Li Shiyu wasn't faring much better either. Having drained her sacred blood to summon the Demon-Slaying Sacred Sword, blood now seeped from the corners of her mouth, her small face deathly pale…
Yet, Li Shiyao's expression now bore an unprecedented ferocity, mirroring her sister Qinghan's when enraged…
The holy sword, forged from her surging holy blood, charged forward with devastating speed, poised to strike down the villain before her…
Ye Qinghan heard the commotion and stepped out of the house. Seeing this scene, she froze in shock!
"Li Shiyu! Stop!"
Li Shiyu paid no heed. Besides, the Sacred Sword had already been unleashed—spilled water could never be retrieved.
"Sister, Shiyu gives you freedom!"
At that moment, the ultimate move Ye Qinghan had been waiting to see was aimed and fired straight at Su Cheng!
A holy sword the size of a house crashed toward Su Cheng, who could already see his life flashing before his eyes…
Ye Qinghan had no time to summon any magical artifacts or activate the sword formation…
There was no time to think. She drew the Frostsword and flew forward. Though she didn't know if she could intercept Li Shiyu's Sacred Blood Sword, there was no time to hesitate!
With a thunderous crash, the Sacred Blood Sword slammed into the Frost-Shattering Sword. Had Ye Qinghan been able to swing a counterattack, perhaps things might have been different, but there was simply no time…
Even someone as formidable as Ye Qinghan, the First Disciple of Lingxian Hall, had his qi shattered by the impact, sending him reeling dozens of meters back…
This was the most perilous moment Ye Qinghan had faced since becoming a disciple…
She finally understood: she wasn't invincible. She could die too!
This strike had drained the Sacred Blood and exhausted her true qi. Li Shiyu slowly slid down from the air, kneeling on the ground, her face frozen in disbelief.
"Sister, why? If only Shiyu had killed her, you would be free!"
Over there, Dongfang Jue was dumbfounded. What had happened to Li Shiyu?
Ten minutes later…
Ye Qinghan knelt in the center of the Main Hall, flanked by Li Shiyu and Dongfang Jue, both wearing blank, bewildered expressions.
Su Cheng, who had learned the full story, sat in the chair before Ye Qinghan. His expression remained impassive as he glanced from Ye Qinghan to Li Shiyu.
"So, she really did come to save you…"
"Yes. Please forgive her, Master. It's all my fault."
Even though Ye Qinghan had just explained everything to Su Cheng, Li Shiyao still didn't understand a thing.
She was currently reviewing the situation in her mind, even thinking that if the execution had been smoother, Sister Qinghan wouldn't be kneeling here now!
Next time, she must act faster!
"No! It's not Sister Qinghan's fault! Shiyuo wanted to kill you long ago!"
【Oh ho, Qinghan, look at her—still defending you even now! What kind of mind-control potion did you feed her?】
[Yeah, yeah, Li Shiyu, you're formidable. I can't mess with you!]
"Shiyao, stop talking!" Ye Qinghan felt numb all over. This little fool probably still thought she was making excuses for her!
"We're in the right—what have we got to fear?"
"Don't say another word, or Sister will be the one to suffer!"
"If sis doesn't save him, he'll be the one suffering!"
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes. "Qinghan, will you accept the punishment?"
[Given what happened, she does deserve some punishment. But how exactly?]
Ye Qinghan hung her head, her face utterly devoid of hope. Yet as long as her master still wanted her, it wouldn't be a problem!
"This disciple accepts the punishment."
Without waiting for Su Cheng to speak, Ye Qinghan slowly rose to her feet, retrieved the Star River Ruler from her Jade Pendant, and handed it to her master.
【Huh? What's this move?】
Ye Qinghan pretended not to hear, leaning over Su Cheng's lap as she slowly lifted her skirt…
Ye Qinghan tilted her head, flushed, and stole a glance at Su Cheng before adopting a resolute expression.
【Seriously? My First Disciple doesn't have some weird fetish, does she?】
"The trouble was caused by Shiyu! Shiyu will take the punishment for her sister!"
Ye Qinghan shot Li Shiyu a vicious glare. Li Shiyu, who had already taken half a step forward, retreated back under her sister's intimidating glare.
She then turned to her master: "Master, let's begin…"
【What the hell is that look of anticipation?】
【This won't do! I never said anything about spanking! How old are you? Besides, does Lingxian Hall even have such a rule?】
Hearing her master's unspoken thoughts, Ye Qinghan blushed even deeper… Her cheeks flushed crimson. Though she was a fox spirit, she had zero practical experience with this sort of thing…
The thought of receiving a spanking from her master sent an inexplicable thrill through Ye Qinghan, even stirring a hint of anticipation.
How perverted… but… Qinghan liked it…
Cornered like this, with three people and six eyes watching, Su Cheng had no choice but to follow through.
【It pains me a little… but this is for Qinghan's own good! She must learn her lesson!】
Li Shiyao's anger flared when she saw the Star River Ruler in Su Cheng's hand. Had this Su Cheng prepared two rulers just to punish her sister?
The ruler she stole last time wasn't this one!
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes coldly, letting Ye Qinghan's skirt hem fall back into place. No need, no need…
As the Star River Ruler descended slowly, even the formidable Ye Yanwang stiffened like a frightened kitten, unable to suppress a whimper.
Her jade-like hands clutched Su Cheng's long robe tightly, her teeth clenched as if the pain were killing her…
【Huh? Does it hurt that much?】
【I clearly didn't use any force!】
"Master, continue…"
Dongfang Jue felt like he finally understood—this senior sister was a bit… unscrupulous…
【Ugh… Should we stop? It's not really Qinghan's fault… But if not hers, then whose? Mine?】
【No, Su Cheng, you mustn't pity her! She's a fox spirit—make her remember her mistake!】
Ye Qinghan heard the inner thoughts and silently urged: Master, don't spare Qinghan! Punish her harshly!
Facing the Star River Ruler, Ye Qinghan's protective aura proved utterly useless. While it wasn't quite that exaggerated, it still stung a bit…
"Master… I—ah~"
While Ye Qinghan endured the punishment, Li Shiyao was nearly in tears!
Why is he still hitting her?! He's already struck her four or five times!
"Sister Dongfang, don't stop me! Can't you see Sister is being tormented by him?"
"I think your Qinghan sister seems quite pleased." Dongfang Jue looked utterly speechless. She could only conclude that Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyu were truly…
One pure pervert! One pure fool!
"Shiyao isn't stupid! How could anyone actually enjoy being hit?!"
Hearing this, Ye Qinghan blushed fiercely beyond measure. Yet she still wanted more—even begged her master to strike harder…
After a full twenty strokes, Su Cheng looked at Ye Qinghan's tear-filled, dazed eyes and simply couldn't bring himself to continue.
"Qinghan, take this as a lesson. Remember it well!"
Ye Qinghan slowly rose to her feet, but her legs buckled, sending her tumbling into Su Cheng's arms.
Even through her clothes, the Star River Ruler had tortured Ye Qinghan to the point of agony. It was undeniably painful…
But… I love my Master the most!
"Qinghan… um… I will take this as a lesson and never… repeat it."
