"Asking for a Beating" Ye Xiaoyao

The hall fell silent, leaving only the gazes of a few Great Powers.

I'm under a lot of pressure right now.

In front of these figures.

Can I still talk my way out of this by being cute?

"Ye Xiaoyao, can you finally tell us the truth?"

I subconsciously glanced over at Ye Qingxian.

The girl's hand, calmly holding a cup of clear tea, paused.

Junior Sister—why are you looking at her?

It's like she's involved with Cub too.

I quickly withdrew my gaze. It was just an instinctive reaction; no one should be able to understand the deeper meaning.

Seeing that I had fallen silent again, the two elders wished they could jump down and pry my mouth open themselves.

Who stays silent like a mute after making a mistake?

But.

Heavenly Sword Venerable was still watching me menacingly from the side.

She coughed lightly and said, "Ye Xiaoyao, just tell us. No matter who it is, I will uphold justice for you."

I took a deep breath.

I understood that if I couldn't provide an explanation today, I definitely wouldn't be able to leave unharmed.

I had anticipated this scene when I decided to fleece the Female Protagonist. It hadn't reached the worst-case scenario yet, so my strategy was to be completely shameless and talk utter nonsense.

"It has nothing to do with anyone in the Sect."

"Cub belongs to someone outside the Sect."

"His status is special, and it's inconvenient for me to reveal it."

"If you absolutely must force me to speak, this disciple is willing to cripple her own cultivation and leave the Sect forever."

It's just giving an explanation, any explanation will do. This was the final step I had already considered.

If I couldn't stay in the Sect anymore, I'd wander alone. Developing discreetly wouldn't be bad; it's better than being completely resented by the Female Protagonist.

As for cultivation.

A mere Qi Refining Third Layer realm, they can have it. Even if my Five Spiritual Roots were crippled, I wouldn't be afraid. I could still replicate Spiritual Roots in the future anyway.

Upon hearing this, everyone basically believed me.

Only Ye Qingxian's eyes held a strange expression.

The others hadn't experienced Ye Xiaoyao's tongue before.

She had experienced it several times. Beneath her seemingly fragile exterior, her mouth was actually harder than anyone's, and she loved to spout nonsense.

Especially regarding Cub, nothing she had said before was true.

The more she insisted that it was someone outside the Sect, and someone of such special status that she couldn't reveal it, the more Ye Qingxian believed that Cub's other blood relative was someone within the Sect, someone no one could guess.

Who could it be?

Many figures appeared in Ye Qingxian's mind.

These ethereal figures were all awe-inspiring Great Powers.

She considered countless possibilities, but never once thought it could be herself.

The hall suddenly fell silent, everyone pondering how to respond next, or rather, waiting for Heavenly Sword Venerable's opinion.

She was also still a bit stunned.

The main reason was that the invincible Great Demon King recorded in the texts was too ferocious, making it impossible to reconcile with the young girl before her, who was focused on protecting her child and was a bit of a love-struck fool.

Her mind was filled with the word "absurd."

Just who is this peerless ruthless individual who dared to lay a hand on the future invincible Great Demon King?

And what's more,

He could make the Great Demon King willing to give birth to offspring without any status.

Forcing her is impossible.

Whatever the Great Demon King wants to do, just let her do it.

It's just having a few cubs, let her have them.

What's the big deal?

Why are you making things difficult for her?

As long as she wasn't thinking about World Destruction, in Heavenly Sword Venerable's understanding, anything she wanted to do was fine.

Merely having one Cub was nothing.

You insist on making things difficult for Ye Xiaoyao, wanting to abort the cub in her womb.

Isn't it obvious that I'm pushing you to become corrupted and destroy the world?

Therefore, she waved her hand grandly and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't. You can also have the child; this is your own business, and no one else is allowed to interfere."

Elder Fengyun remained silent.

Although she already knew the outcome, listening to Heavenly Sword Venerable's words, she still felt he was showing extreme favoritism. His own descendant had become so rebellious, yet he could tolerate it all. If it were his own descendants, he would have forcefully extracted the truth and beaten that irresponsible scumbag into powder.

Heavenly Sword Venerable's words were final.

From this day forward, no one shall trouble Ye Xiaoyao over this matter.

I was also a bit surprised.

I had already prepared to be expelled from the Sect.

And yet... nothing happened?

Since when did Heavenly Sword Peak become so accommodating?

Wait, what did Master just say?

"Having the cub is my own business, and others cannot interfere"?

Huh!?

There's such a good thing?

Doesn't this mean I can have as many as I want later without anyone calling it indecent or interfering?

As this matter came to a close, Heavenly Sword Venerable never imagined her words today would become a prophecy. If she had known the outcome earlier, she certainly wouldn't have spoken so magnanimously and indifferently, as if it were as simple as what she had for dinner.

She had considered that she might indulge other things without limit, but she never expected Ye Xiaoyao to act like this.

Who gives birth to child after child without hesitation or politeness, seamlessly continuing the process without giving herself any chance to recover?

She's treating herself like a broodmare (Insect Mother).

And this was the Great Demon King's own decision.

Heavenly Sword Venerable was mainly worried that after returning to the Time and Space Administration, her colleagues would criticize her handling of this Level 5 world. After all, even the Great Demon King has basic human rights.

Jian Wushuang also didn't expect that after just finishing her punishment in the Cold Prison and preparing to make amends with Junior Sister, she would see her followed by a large group of little radishes of varying heights, leaving her utterly bewildered in the wind, like an unmoving statue.

Only Ye Qingxian left with a frown.

How could Heavenly Sword Venerable do this!?

She truly couldn't understand.

Completely indulging her descendant's actions isn't pampering at all.

What's the difference between letting her descendants do as they please and being irresponsible?

Her fists clenched tighter and tighter.

Junior Sister's usual docility, her stubbornness about having children, and her unwavering devotion to that scumbag.

Everything made her, a girl not much older herself, feel deeply uncomfortable.

She also wanted to respect others' lives.

But Junior Sister was innocent!

She's still so young, with a bright future ahead, and she was merely deceived by others.

If Junior Sister's own family doesn't care and lets her continue down this path, what will become of her in the end?

Ye Qingxian took a deep breath and suddenly realized something.

Perhaps the only one who could pull Ye Xiaoyao back from the brink of despair was her, her fellow disciple and Senior Sister.

This cub can be ignored for now.

She absolutely cannot stand by and watch Junior Sister be dragged into the abyss by others again.

So, she stopped Ye Xiaoyao, who was preparing to go home and sleep.

"A girl must never devalue herself."

I looked up at the Female Protagonist before me, my gaze growing complex.

"Yes, I'm inherently shameless," I tilted my head, my voice clear. Even the most alluring cherry lips, when no longer being stubborn, speak words that are more infuriating than the last. "So, please don't bother with me anymore."

I'm just asking for a beating, aren't I?

I just don't want any more contact with the Female Protagonist.

Ye Qingxian's knuckles cracked as she clenched her fists.

What should I do?

She really wanted to chase after Ye Xiaoyao right now and pin her to the ground for a beating.

Let's see what kind of mush is in her head.

Excuse me.

Can a fist the size of a sandbag knock some sense into someone?

Ye Qingxian had always been a woman of action.

So, she acted.

On the horizon of Heavenly Sword Peak.

Shuang Yue was pulling on her favorite Senior Sister, complaining tearfully about how excessive Ye Qingxian had been lately.

The delicate-looking maiden spoke so vividly that Yue Wuhua found herself empathizing with the story.

"That does sound quite excessive."

Yue Wuhua commented faintly.
