Inside the restricted area, beside the Jade Pool Celestial Spring.
Lu Ning felt as though she had experienced an absurd dream.
In the dream, she had been “bullied” for three full days by that once-innocent, silly girl, who used the very methods Lu Ning was most familiar with.
By the time she finally woke up from that long and frenzied nightmare, three days had already passed.
She slowly opened her heavy eyelids, and the first thing she saw was A’Lin’s cute, enlarged face.
The girl was pressed against her, staring at her with wide, unblinking black eyes, a satisfied smile hanging on the corners of her lips.
“Sister Lu Ning, you’re awake?”
Hearing those words, Lu Ning’s body suddenly stiffened.
She instinctively tried to retreat, only to find her body tightly confined by a pair of soft, warm hands, leaving her unable to move.
Over the past three days, A’Lin had displayed an astonishing talent for “learning” and a passion for “exploration.”
She had practiced every single technique she had previously peeked from Liu Ningshuang without reservation.
She had even improved upon them, creating many new tricks that made Lu Ning’s face flush with embarrassment.
Lu Ning felt as though she had completely devolved into this little witch’s plaything during those three days.
All her resistance and struggles appeared pale and weak in the face of A’Lin’s absolute strength at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
A’Lin, on the other hand, seemed to have developed a taste for it, clearly enjoying herself.
After several days of intimate contact, A’Lin believed she had thoroughly “conquered” Lu Ning, so her physical restraint of Lu Ning gradually began to relax.
….
She no longer used that invisible force to completely seal Lu Ning’s cultivation and body as she had before.
Now, she simply wrapped her arms gently around Lu Ning, savoring the feeling of holding her beloved in her embrace.
In A’Lin’s view, her Sister Lu Ning already belonged to her completely.
However, she was still too naive.
She had vastly underestimated Lu Ning’s endurance.
Just as A’Lin lowered her guard and prepared for a new round of “intimate communication,” a sudden change occurred.
An invisible ripple centered on Lu Ning suddenly erupted, spreading outward like a wave.
The Heavenly Demon Domain, expand!
In an instant, the entire Jade Pool Celestial Spring was shrouded in a strange, alternating light of black and white.
A’Lin felt her body being completely immobilized by a terrifying force in that moment.
Her vast cultivation, which belonged to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, was actually suppressed to the point where she couldn’t call upon it within this strange domain.
She was like a butterfly caught in a spider’s web—no matter how she struggled, she could not break free.
“Sister Lu Ning?”
A flash of panic and confusion flickered in A’Lin’s eyes.
She didn’t understand what was happening.
Her Sister Lu Ning was clearly only at the Great Perfection Stage; how could she possess such a peculiar ability?
At that moment, Lu Ning slowly sat up from the jade stone.
Her eyes, which had previously lost their luster, regained their usual clarity and calm.
…
She looked at the panic-stricken A’Lin, who was frozen in place, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled into an arc.
“A’Lin.”
“Did you have fun playing these past few days?”
“Lu… Sister Lu Ning, you…”
“It seems I’ve spoiled you too much lately.”
Lu Ning slowly reached out her finger and gently hooked the girl’s delicate chin.
“So much so that you’ve learned to be bad.”
Lu Ning’s gaze turned cold, and the aura belonging to a giant of the demonic path once again enveloped her entire body.
A’Lin trembled with fear under this pressure.
Her watery black eyes instantly filled with tears.
“Wooo… hmmm…”
“Sister Lu Ning, A’Lin knows she was wrong.”
“A’Lin won’t do it again.”
Like a child caught doing something wrong by a parent, she began to cry loudly.
However, this time, Lu Ning was completely unmoved.
She knew that when dealing with this kind of “corrupted” silly girl, constant gentleness and indulgence would only make her worse.
She had to use thunderous methods to make her remember this lesson thoroughly.
“You know you were wrong?”
Lu Ning gave a light chuckle, her smile carrying a hint of mockery.
“Too late.”
…
“A’Lin, you’ve turned bad.”
“You actually dared to do such things to me.”
“Tell me, how should I punish you?”
Imitating A’Lin’s previous behavior, Lu Ning reached out her porcelain-white hand and began to let it wander freely.
A’Lin’s body shook violently, and a layer of crimson instantly dyed her cute little face.
A’Lin’s voice carried a sob, as if she wanted to break free from Lu Ning’s “demonic claws.”
However, within the Heavenly Demon Domain, all her struggles were in vain.
The corners of Lu Ning’s mouth turned up slightly.
“A’Lin, that’s not what you said when you were bullying me earlier.”
“Don’t you like this feeling very much?”
“Now, it’s my turn.”
As those words fell, she no longer hesitated.
She was going to let this arrogant, silly girl experience exactly what a true “punishment” felt like.
…
An unknown amount of time passed.
When the educational punishment finally drew to a close, A’Lin lay limp in Lu Ning’s arms.
Her large black eyes, which had been full of obsession and madness, now held nothing but endless grievance and lingering fear.
She finally understood.
So this was what being “bullied” felt like.
‘Could Sister Lu Ning only bully me from now on?’
….
“A’Lin, do you know your mistake now?”
Lu Ning’s voice rang in her ear.
“Wooo… hmmm…”
“A’Lin knows…”
“Will you dare to do it again?”
“No… I don’t dare…”
“That’s more like it.”
Lu Ning smiled with satisfaction.
She knew that after this “profound education,” this silly girl would likely be much better behaved.
At the very least, before she possessed enough power, she probably wouldn’t dare to act rashly against Lu Ning again.
Promptly, Lu Ning deactivated the Heavenly Demon Domain.
She looked at the girl in her arms, who was weeping piteously and looking quite pathetic, and her heart softened for some reason.
She reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of A’Lin’s eyes, her voice becoming much gentler.
“Alright, stop crying.”
“You won’t look pretty if you keep crying.”
“Wooo… Sister Lu Ning, you bullied me…”
A’Lin buried her face in Lu Ning’s chest like a wronged kitten, sobbing incessantly.
“I was educating you.”
Lu Ning cleared her throat, her face adopting a “serious” expression.
“Now you know what you should and shouldn’t do, right?”
“Oh.”
….
A’Lin nodded as if she understood.
Even though she didn’t quite know what she had done wrong, she realized that if she “bullied” Sister Lu Ning again, she would be “bullied” back in an even more excessive way.
‘That actually seems pretty good,’ she mused.
Of course, she wouldn’t let Lu Ning know about those little thoughts.
On the other side, after comforting A’Lin, Lu Ning also breathed a secret sigh of relief.
She had finally managed to temporarily deal with this massive headache.
She glanced at the celestial atmosphere of the Jade Pool Celestial Spring and then at the small wooden cabin that had given her so much psychological trauma.
A desire to leave sprouted in her heart.
“A’Lin.”
Lu Ning spoke slowly.
“We’ve been in this restricted area for nearly two months.”
“It’s time to go out and see the world.”
