Chapter 218: Please, Master, Don't Look—The Divine Maiden Would Never Sink So Low (2)
Ye Xueyi had never disappointed her. She was outstanding in both talent and temperament.
In the sect, she was always cold and untouchable in everyone's eyes.
That subtle aloofness had become her shield, and the younger generation treated her with awe.
No one ever doubted she would become their leader someday. The Heavenly Dao Lord believed it too.
But in front of her master, she had always been a modest, obedient, pure girl.
Aside from cultivation, her favorite thing was quietly reading alone.
A girl who loved peace, simple and innocent.
Whenever she appeared, Ye Xueyi would always run over with a look of reverence and admiration.
Back then, she was just a naive little girl...
Now, under the immense emotional blow, the Heavenly Dao Lord felt shaken.
The image of her former disciple overlapped with the one before her now.
And that just made it all more painful.
The once cool and serene girl, that little admirer of hers, was now...
Now bent over a desk, presenting her ass in submission as she took punishment from her master!
Su Qing had somehow produced a small leather whip and continued lashing her.
Judging by the sound, he wasn't going easy.
The Heavenly Dao Lord's heart filled with regret, emotions roiling uncontrollably.
She had never imagined that sending Ye Xueyi on a simple mission would lead to this.
If she hadn't let her go, would any of this have happened?
She had never once regretted any of her decisions—until now.
Deep down, she began to understand her disciple's current state.
Ye Xueyi was a pure-hearted girl, completely unable to resist someone like this.
She had probably endured all kinds of torment to end up like this.
The Heavenly Dao Lord was well-acquainted with mind-breaking techniques.
She just never thought a seemingly ordinary boy could wield them so effectively.
What disciple just starting out could withstand this kind of abuse?
The fact that her disciple hadn't betrayed her yet was already impressive.
Anyone else would've broken long ago, obeying him and spilling everything.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Lord looked at Ye Xueyi with rare tenderness.
A kind of sympathy she had never shown before.
"Enjoying the show, huh? Heavenly Dao Lord, I heard you were supposed to be really powerful."
"So what can you do now? Nothing. Just watch your disciple get humiliated."
"Even now, she hasn't told me a single thing about you. She's loyal to a fault."
"If you hadn't handed her over to me yourself, I never would've gotten this far."
This little demon just kept twisting the knife, relentlessly taunting the Heavenly Dao Lord who had walked right into his trap.
He embodied the very definition of a villain.
The chibi Heavenly Dao Lord could only close her eyes, helpless.
If only she had even a shred of her power left—just a sliver!
Taking advantage of her diverted gaze, Su Qing shot a look at Ye Xueyi.
His movements became much gentler, though the slapping still rang out loud.
He needed more cooperation from the Divine Maiden. A one-sided beating wasn't enough to shake the Heavenly Dao Lord.
"No..."
Ye Xueyi shook her head, whispering softly.
Looking at the gentleness and respect in his eyes, her heart swelled with warmth.
But some things, she just couldn't do.
Like ganging up on her master—this crossed a line she couldn't accept.
Even if her master had made mistakes, she was still the one she admired most.
Taking a beating—that was the furthest she could go.
"Xueyi, I swear, I mean no harm. I just want to guide your master back to the right path."
"You're very important to her—otherwise she wouldn't be so shaken."
"But how long do you think that'll last? She'll recover soon."
"So we have to show her how serious this is. Make her feel pain, guilt, and regret."
"That way, she won't make the same mistake again."
"Otherwise, next time she sends someone, it won't just be you suffering."
Su Qing's voice echoed in her mind.
Ye Xueyi understood immediately.
This was about teaching her master a lesson—making her think twice before sending anyone else.
Thinking of all her fellow disciples in the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Divine Maiden bit her lip.
Teaming up against her master was hard to swallow.
But if it was out of kindness...
Then it wouldn't be wrong!
If her own suffering could wake her master up—she had to do it!
Not for herself, but for all her sect brothers and sisters.
If only she had to suffer, no one else needed to.
Before the Heavenly Dao Lord could figure out how to stop Su Qing, a startled cry rang out.
She turned quickly—just in time to see a piece of her disciple's clothing being torn away.
Pale skin peeked out, smooth and luminous like polished jade.
"Xueyi, as a pet, you can't care about anyone's opinion but your master's."
"Seems it's time for you and your master to get a little more... honest with each other. Think of it as your next punishment."
Su Qing wore an innocent smile, so harmless it made it impossible to resent him.
To the Heavenly Dao Lord, that smile was laced with so much malice it made her tremble.
"Master, please… don't do this… Master is still here..."
Ye Xueyi's voice quivered, thick with the sound of tears.
Of course, this was all an act—a perfect part of the ongoing performance.
"No can do. A good little pet never refuses her master."
"Begging like that only proves how necessary your punishment is."
Su Qing smiled as he spoke.
And he actually sounded pretty reasonable.
But then again, reason didn't matter. He was the rule-maker here.
And as a pet, obedience was the only choice.
The sound of tearing fabric echoed through the room.
Her voluptuous curves, hidden beneath that long dress, were slowly revealed.
Su Qing wasn't in a hurry to go all the way—he toyed with her like a cat playing with a mouse.
Every move, every slow tug, piled more pressure onto the Divine Maiden.
Ye Xueyi had completely made up her mind. She played her part flawlessly.
A mix of grievance and slight resistance, laced with shame she didn't dare face.
Every time her clothing was pulled, she let out a gasp to show her helplessness.
