Disciplining Meng Hongchen

The soft flesh at his waist was pinched hard by Meng Hongchen without warning, and Xu Tianming immediately cried out in pain:

"Hiss! Let go! Let go already! Why are you so heavy-handed, you brat?!"

Meng Hongchen was merely embarrassed for a moment and was not truly angry. Hearing Xu Tianming's words, she let go, though she still warned him:

"Hmph! Who told Tianming to break his promise? You clearly promised not to mention what happened that night... This is only a lesson! If there's a next time, I'll... I'll bite you hard!"

Meng Hongchen could not forget.

One day two years ago, Xu Tianming suddenly said he wanted to use a heavenly treasure to temper her body. At the time, Meng Hongchen had no idea what would happen, so she readily agreed without much hesitation.

However, Xu Tianming told her then that this secret body-tempering technique could not be known by outsiders, so they needed to find somewhere secluded to carry it out.

Thanks to Jing Hongchen's status, the Hongchen Family wielded immense influence in the Sun Moon Empire. Thus, Meng Hongchen hardly had to make any effort before booking a luxurious suite in a five-star hotel in Mingdu.

After confirming that no one would disturb them, Xu Tianming kept his promise and took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue that could temper Meng Hongchen's body.

Since she did not recognize the item and trusted Xu Tianming, Meng Hongchen obediently followed his instructions throughout the process.

She watched Xu Tianming melt a small portion of the whale glue into a sticky paste with flames right before her eyes. Encouraged by him, she put the lump of goo into her mouth.

It was hot and sticky, and the taste was somewhat strange. Yet, thinking that it was a heavenly treasure that could make her stronger, Meng Hongchen endured the discomfort and swallowed every last bit of the viscous substance.

At first, she felt nothing.

But soon, she felt heat spread throughout her body.

After she told him how she felt, Xu Tianming comforted her:

"Don't worry, that's normal. I'm here."

Meng Hongchen remembered that after saying this, Xu Tianming took her hand. At the same time, a warm power flowed into her, making her feel much more comfortable.

However, as time passed, perhaps because the medicinal effect was too strong or because her body was too frail, the burning sensation soon filled her body once more. The last remnants of reason in her mind gradually faded, and the clothes on her body somehow slipped away...

Meng Hongchen could no longer clearly remember what exactly happened that night, nor did she want to remember.

Still, afterward, she could indeed feel that her body had become much stronger. She also enjoyed being close to Tianming more, and when the two were alone, their behavior became increasingly bolder than before.

Xu Tianming could understand Meng Hongchen's feelings, but that did not stop him from holding her accountable for what she had just done.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Tianming gradually slowed the motorcycle until it came to a stop and the engine died.

When the motorcycle suddenly stopped moving, Meng Hongchen initially thought a soul beast had appeared nearby.

Just as she was preparing to enter a combat stance, Xu Tianming got off and suddenly picked her up. Before she could figure out what was happening, she had already been pressed facedown onto the back seat, unable to move.

"Tianming, what are you..."

Before Meng Hongchen could finish speaking, a smack sounded behind her, followed by a sharp pain.

"Ah! That hurts! Tianming, what are you doing? It hurts!"

Xu Tianming did not answer immediately. Only after giving the soft flesh behind Meng Hongchen several slaps did he speak:

"Stop crying for now. Tell me, do you know what you did wrong?"

"Waaah, Tianming, you're awful! You only know how to bully me! I'm telling Grandpa, waaah!"

Seeing the girl cry even harder, Xu Tianming's temper flared as well.

"If you keep crying, do you believe I'll use soul power?"

The instant those words fell, Meng Hongchen's crying stopped abruptly.

She could not forget that one day a year ago, the two of them had somehow booked that luxurious suite again. While exchanging pointers in the room, Xu Tianming had suddenly gotten the idea to use soul power. He failed to control it properly and accidentally burned Meng Hongchen's clothes right off her.

Fortunately, Xu Tianming had reacted in time. Otherwise, Meng Hongchen might have been left with a burn scar that could never be removed...

Seeing that Meng Hongchen had temporarily quieted down, Xu Tianming got straight to the point:

"It was wrong of me to bring up that matter so abruptly, but you shouldn't have pinched me like that either! Do you have any idea how dangerous what you just did was? What if your interference made me lose control of the motorcycle and crash? Do you know how fast we were going? Do you know how badly you could have been hurt if you were thrown off?"

In Meng Hongchen's eyes, Xu Tianming had always been gentle and kind. A smile that captivated her often rested on his lips whenever he spoke.

Yet this time, Xu Tianming was angry for once. His tone was more serious than ever before, startling Meng Hongchen so badly that she temporarily forgot even the pain in her body.

"I-I'm sorry, Tianming. It was my fault. Please don't be angry, okay? I won't dare do it again. If... if you're still not satisfied, then hit me a few more times. I promise I won't tell Grandpa..."

Her voice was filled with grievance, her expression pitiful, and her attitude toward admitting her mistake entirely sincere.

After Meng Hongchen smoothly pulled off this little combination, the anger in Xu Tianming's heart was instantly reduced by more than half. The hand that had been ready to continue slapping instead gently caressed the spot he had just struck.

"It's good that you know you were wrong! Does it still hurt? Let me rub it properly for you."

Having earned Xu Tianming's forgiveness, Meng Hongchen's taut nerves immediately relaxed. However, that also caused the pain she had temporarily forgotten to return.

Fortunately, while massaging her, Xu Tianming also drew upon a portion of Mavuika's power. Her body gradually warmed, and the pain soon faded to a level she could bear.

Why is Tianming still touching there... So embarrassing... But his hand is so warm and comfortable. It would be nice if he could keep stroking me like this...

As she thought this, Meng Hongchen pushed herself up from the motorcycle. Then, under Xu Tianming's slightly surprised gaze, she took the initiative to hug him and whispered sweetly into his ear:

"Can you not say anything for now? I just want to quietly hold Tianming like this for a while..."

Meng Hongchen was breathtakingly beautiful, and her figure could only be described as unparalleled. With such soft, fragrant warmth in his arms, Xu Tianming naturally did not resist.

However, just as he selflessly offered the girl the warmth of his embrace, Columbina suddenly spoke within his spiritual sea of consciousness:

"Lately, I often see you hugging this girl, Tianming. Does it feel nice? I've only hugged Lauma and Sandrone. I've never hugged someone of the opposite sex before."
