Volume 1, Chapter 45: Something is Wrong! The Chief Disciple is Very Wrong!

Su Cheng was currently bound hand and foot by the Demon-Slaying Sword Formation transformed from sacred blood; there was simply no way to evade it now...

Without a doubt, this little silly girl was Su Cheng's nemesis!

Sacred blood, which possessed miraculous effects against demons and ghosts, rarely held much of an advantage in duels, and instead exacted a heavy toll on Li Shiyao.

Yet against Su Cheng, it was remarkably effective...

However, this was a secret that even Ye Qinghan had never known, and Su Cheng himself had never expected that the sacred blood would possess such a powerful suppressing effect on him...

Su Cheng felt like a prisoner escorted to the execution ground, waiting for his sentence to be carried out. Li Shiyao was in no better shape; having overdrawn her sacred blood to summon the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword, blood was already seeping from the corners of her mouth, and her delicate face was deathly pale...

Yet at this moment, Li Shiyao's expression was fiercer than ever before, looking exactly like her Qinghan Sister when she was angry...

Driving the sacred sword formed from her sacred blood with lightning speed, she looked set to execute the big scoundrel right before her...

Hearing the commotion, Ye Qinghan walked out of the room, and the sight that met her eyes left her utterly stunned!

"Li Shiyao! Stop!"

Li Shiyao paid her no heed whatsoever. Besides, the sacred sword had already been unleashed, and spilled water could no longer be gathered back up.

"Sister, Shiyao is giving you your freedom!"

At this very moment, the ultimate technique that Ye Qinghan had been expecting was aimed straight at Su Cheng and launched!

A sacred sword the size of a room hurtled right toward Su Cheng, and images of his life even started flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern...

There was no time left for Ye Qinghan to summon any magical treasures, nor was there time to activate the sword formation...

Without even stopping to think, she drew the Lingshuang Sword and flew forward. Though she had no idea whether she could catch Li Shiyao's sacred blood sword, she could no longer care about such things!

With a deafening crash, the sacred blood sword slammed heavily against the Lingshuang Sword. If Ye Qinghan could have managed another strike, things might have been slightly better, but there was simply no time left...

Even someone as powerful as Ye Qinghan, the senior disciple of the Ethereal Immortal Palace, was blasted back dozens of meters by the impact, her genuine Qi completely scattered...

This was by far the most dangerous moment she had encountered since taking her master...

She finally understood that she was not invincible; she too could die!

This single blow had overdrawn her sacred blood and exhausted all her genuine Qi. Li Shiyao slowly slid down from mid-air, kneeling on the ground with an expression of sheer disbelief.

"Sister, why? As long as Shiyao kills him, Sister will be free!"

Over on the side, Dongfang Jue was equally dumbfounded. What on earth was wrong with this Li Shiyao?

Ten minutes later...

Ye Qinghan knelt in the center of the main hall, flanked by an innocently bewildered Li Shiyao and Dongfang Jue.

Having learned the whole story, Su Cheng sat in the chair before Ye Qinghan, looking calmly between Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao.

"So, she really did come to save you..."

"Yes. Please forgive her, Master; it was entirely this disciple's fault."

Even after Ye Qinghan had explained everything to Su Cheng just moments ago, Li Shiyao still didn't understand a thing.

Right now, she was replaying the events in her mind, even thinking that if her execution process had been just a bit smoother, Qinghan Sister wouldn't have had to kneel here right now!

Next time, she definitely had to move faster!

"No! It has nothing to do with Qinghan Sister! Shiyao has wanted to kill you all along!"

[Oh my, Qinghan, look at that! She's still defending you even now! What kind of love potion did you feed her?]

[Fine, fine, fine, Li Shiyao, you're amazing, I can't afford to provoke you!]

"Shiyao, stop talking!" Ye Qinghan felt completely numb; this little idiot probably still thought she was just covering for her!

"We have right on our side, what is there to fear?"

"Don't speak for a moment, or Sister is going to suffer!"

"If Sister hadn't saved him, he'd definitely be the one suffering!"

Su Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Qinghan, do you accept your punishment?"

[Since something like this happened, she still needs to be slightly disciplined. But how should I do it?]

Ye Qinghan lowered her head with a resigned expression, yet as long as her Master still wanted her, it wasn't a major issue!

"This disciple accepts the punishment."

Without waiting for Su Cheng to speak, Ye Qinghan slowly stood up, retrieved the River of Stars Ruler from her jade pendant, and handed it to her Master.

[Huh? What kind of move is this?]

Pretending not to notice anything, Ye Qinghan leaned over Su Cheng's lap and slowly lifted her skirt...

She tilted her head, blushing as she glanced sideways at Su Cheng, then put on an expression of heroic martyrdom.

[No way, my eldest disciple doesn't have some strange fetish, does she?]

"The fault was committed by Shiyao; Shiyao will take the punishment for Sister!"

Ye Qinghan shot a fierce glare at Li Shiyao. Li Shiyao, who had already taken half a step forward, retreated under the might of her sister's glare.

Then she looked up at the Master. "Master, begin..."

[What on earth is that look of faint anticipation?]

[This won't do! I never said anything about spanking! How old are you? Besides, does the Ethereal Immortal Palace even have a rule like that?]

Hearing her Master's inner thoughts, Ye Qinghan grew even more embarrassed... her face flushed completely red. Though she was a vixen, she was utterly devoid of practical experience in this area...

The mere thought of being spanked by her Master gave Ye Qinghan an inexplicable thrill, and she even felt a trace of anticipation now.

It was so perverted, but... Qinghan liked it...

Driven into a corner with three people and six eyes watching him, Su Cheng had no choice left—he had to strike.

[I'm a bit reluctant... but this is for Qinghan's own good! I must make her remember this lesson!]

Seeing the River of Stars Ruler in Su Cheng's hand, Li Shiyao grew even angrier. Why did this Su Cheng prepare two rulers just to beat her sister?

The ruler her sister stole last time wasn't this one!

Su Cheng narrowed his eyes with a cold, ruthless expression, pulling down the hem of the skirt Ye Qinghan had lifted. There was no need for that...

As the River of Stars Ruler slowly descended, even someone as formidable as the Yan King Ye Qinghan stiffened like a little cat, unable to suppress a soft whimper.

A pair of jade hands gripped Su Cheng's long robe tightly, her teeth gritted as if the pain was almost too much to bear...

[Ah? Does it hurt that much?]

[I clearly didn't even use much force!]

"Master, continue..."

Dongfang Jue felt as though she finally understood: this eldest senior sister was somewhat improper...

[Uh... Should I just forget it? This doesn't really seem like Qinghan's fault... But if not her, whose fault is it? Mine?]

[No, Su Cheng, you cannot pity her! She's a vixen, you must make her properly remember the mistake she made!]

Listening to his inner voice, Ye Qinghan thought to herself: *Master, do not pity Qinghan! Punish Qinghan severely!*

Facing the River of Stars Ruler, Ye Qinghan's protective genuine Qi was entirely useless. Though it wasn't as exaggerated as she acted, it did hurt quite a bit...

"Master, this disciple... Ah~"

While Ye Qinghan was enjoying it over here, Li Shiyao was worried to the point of tears!

Why were they still hitting her?! That was already four or five strikes!

"Dongfang Sister, don't stop me! Can't you see Sister is being tortured by him right now?"

"I think your Qinghan Sister looks quite happy." Dongfang Jue wore a speechless expression, feeling that Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao were truly...

One was a pure pervert! The other a pure idiot!

"Shiyao is not stupid! How could anyone be happy about getting beaten?!"

Hearing this, Ye Qinghan blushed even more furiously, yet she still wanted more, and even felt like asking her Master to use a bit more force...

After a full twenty strikes, Su Cheng looked at Ye Qinghan's tear-filled, misty eyes and simply couldn't bring himself to strike anymore.

"Qinghan, you must take this as a warning and remember it well!"

Ye Qinghan slowly climbed up, her legs turning to jelly as she collapsed entirely into Su Cheng's arms.

The River of Stars Ruler, even through her clothes, had put Ye Qinghan through sheer agony. She had to admit, it really hurt...

Yet, she loved her Master the most!

"Qinghan... mm... will take this as a warning from now on and will never... commit this fault again."
