Li Xian received the order and went to take his punishment. Everything has a price; the "Essence Food" technique, which can be exchanged for twenty cane strokes, is something many desire but cannot attain.
"It must be with a willow cane," Madam Wen softly added.
"Understood!" Li Xian gritted his teeth slightly.
The punishment was indeed hard to endure.
Madam Wen watched his back, her lips curling up as she weighed the pros and cons in her heart:
"This boy is only sixteen, his blood and energy strong, and it's perfectly normal for him to have strange dreams at night. Making him take the cane now, causing him pain that penetrates to the bone, is not to extinguish his thoughts, but to make him both love and fear me; only then can I use him as an arm."
