Zhao Gongming left with the overjoyed Bull Demon King.
Shi Ji walked in and sat across from Bai Jin with a look of concern, "Older brother, Kui Niu is after all our teacher's mount. Is it really appropriate to punish him so severely?"
Bai Jin spoke leisurely, "Having dwelled amongst demons in the Lower Realm for countless eons, Kui Niu has developed some unsavory habits. Now that we are calling him back, naturally he must be thoroughly reformed.
A rigorous punishment will serve to remind him and correct the bad habits he picked up during his time amongst the demons in the Lower Realm."
Shi Ji expressed his worry, "I'm afraid he will hold a grudge against older brother."
Bai Jin chuckled, "Hold a grudge against me? No, he should be thanking me!"
A grateful voice came from outside, "Older brother, thank you! Once I've passed through this ordeal, I'll treat you to a drink."
Bai Jin turned and called out, "Make a good transformation, and start anew as an ox."
