The Silly Roe Deer Gets Spanked

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion also saw Xiao Wu. Its golden vertical pupils lingered on Xiao Wu for two breaths, recognizing her as a human who had transformed from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

It did not continue its attack, but slowly straightened up and retreated to the edge of the woods on the opposite bank of the lake, where it stood watching the man and the soul on the other side.

Jiang Lan stepped back to the shore through the water, her Blue Robe half-soaked, her high ponytail damp and clinging to her cheeks.

"Sister Xiao Wu, it's bullying Doro." Jiang Lan pointed to Doro, who was squatting on the stone steps.

Xiao Wu looked down at Doro, then looked up at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion opposite her.

She opened her mouth, unsure how to explain this to Jiang Lan.

"Do you know what it is?" Xiao Wu finally asked.

"Three-Eyed Golden Lion," Jiang Lan answered crisply, "Emperor Auspicious Beast."

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment.

You know?

"Know."

"Then why are you still fighting it?"

"It bullied Doro," Jiang Lan repeated, her tone stubborn.

Xiao Wu looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed.

She crouched down, reached out and rubbed Doro's head, then looked at the golden Soul Beast opposite her.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained standing at the edge of the forest, neither moving nor continuing its attack, simply watching quietly.

"Doro," Xiao Wu asked softly to the white ball of fur crouching on the stone steps, "What did it do to you?"

Doro pointed to the lake, then to his own mouth, and made a clapping motion with his little hands.

Roughly translated, it slapped my Ju Zi into the lake and stuck its tongue out at me.

After listening, Xiao Wu turned her head and glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The Emperor Auspicious Beast was gently patting the tree trunk behind it with its tail, its golden vertical pupils half-closed, its expression unreadable, neither guilty nor indifferent.

Xiao Wu felt somewhat helpless; she had absolutely no way to deal with the other party.

Jiang Lan walked up to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said, "Apologize to Doro right now, or I'll beat you up."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked down at the human cub in front of it, which only reached its chest, and a hint of disdain flashed in its golden vertical pupils.

How many years has it lived? How many years has this little thing in front of it lived? It dares to make it apologize and even wants to beat it up?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion exhaled a puff of hot air from its nostrils, flicked its tail twice, turned around, and faced Jiang Lan with its rear end.

The attitude is clear: no comment.

Jiang Lan stood there, watching the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's swaying tail, her little face expressionless.

"Doro, step back," Jiang Lan said without turning her head.

Doro immediately jumped down the stone steps, his short legs darting to the door of the Wooden House, where he stood side by side with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Jiang Lan's expression, she swallowed her words back.

Jiang Lan took a step forward.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's ears twitched, but it still didn't turn around.

Jiang Lan took another step forward, walked to the side of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, stretched out her short paws, and precisely caught the tip of its swaying tail.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stiffened.

Before it could react, Jiang Lan had already grabbed the tail with both hands and pulled it down.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked several times larger than Jiang Lan, but when it was pulled, its entire body staggered forward a step, and its four Dragon Claw carved two shallow grooves in the ground.

It suddenly turned its head, its golden vertical pupils widening, and even the closed vertical pupil in the middle of its forehead twitched slightly.

Jiang Lan didn't give it time to react.

He grabbed its tail and pulled it to the side, causing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's massive body to lose its balance and tilt to the side.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Lan released its tail, pushed off the ground with its short legs, and sprang up, landing on the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion struggled to turn over, but Jiang Lan was already straddling its back, her two small hands pressing down on its shoulder blades.

That force was ridiculously strong.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt as if it were being crushed by a small mountain. It tried to push itself up with its four legs, but couldn't even stand up, let alone throw the little thing off its back.

"You..." the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally spoke, "Get down here!"

"Apologize," Jiang Lan said.

"Indecent!"

Jiang Lan raised her little hand and patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's bottom.

"Snap."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was very clear.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's entire body suddenly stiffened.

It has lived for so many years and no one has ever spanked it, not even Di Tian and the others.

"You--!"

"Snap."

"Jiang Lan!"

"You know me?" Jiang Lan tilted her head and clapped her little hand again.

"Snap."

"I heard Xiao Wu say that! She said you're a pervert!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's voice changed. It frantically dug four shallow holes in the ground with its four Dragon Claw, but the little thing on its back was pressing down on it too hard, and it couldn't turn over at all.

"Snap."

Are you going to apologize or not?

"I won't tell! I won't tell! You can kill me, but I won't tell!"

"Clap. Clap. Clap."

Jiang Lan clapped three times in one breath, her rhythm as steady as if she were playing a drum.

A faint red mark appeared on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's rump. Its golden fur was already light, so the red mark was particularly noticeable under the setting sun.

"Waaah..." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's voice finally carried a hint of grievance, "You're bullying a beast..."

"You bullied Doro first," Jiang Lan said righteously. "Why didn't you say you were bullying a beast when you slapped its Ju Zi into the lake?"

"It's just an Ju Zi!"

"Those are Doro's Ju Zi." Jiang Lan patted them again. "Doro's Ju Zi are my Ju Zi. You patting my Ju Zi is bullying me. It's only right that I bully you back."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was a little confused by his logic. It kicked its four legs a couple more times but still couldn't turn over. Finally, it simply lay flat on the ground, rested its head on its front paws, and stopped struggling.

"What exactly do you want?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's voice was muffled.

"Apologize."

"..."

"Apologize."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained silent for a long while.

"I'm sorry." It squeezed out the three words through clenched teeth, its voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz.

"Speak louder," Jiang Lan said.

"I'm sorry!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion practically roared, its voice echoing across the lake several times.

Jiang Lan nodded in satisfaction, jumped off its back, and patted the golden fur off her hands.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately stood up, shook its fur, turned around and glared at Jiang Lan, its golden vertical pupils filled with defiance.

But it dared not make another move.

The feeling of being pinned to the ground was still so vivid. This human cub's strength was completely unreasonable. In all its years of life, this was the first time it had been so crushed that it had no chance to resist.

Jiang Lan took out a Pill from her pocket and held it in her palm.

"Here."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion twitched its nose.

The crisp, medicinal scent wafted into its nostrils, and the anger in its golden vertical pupils froze for a moment, replaced by something else.

Having lived for so many years, it had smelled all sorts of rare and precious herbs, yet it couldn't discern the ingredients used in this Pill based on its aroma.

The only certainty is that this thing is of great benefit to it.
