1756 Side Story 3: Father and Children Are One (2)
“I also hope that after today, the wounds on your bodies will remind you guys at all times. Your mother and I don’t expect the two of you to become indomitable and compassionate Divine Masters, but you definitely can’t become monsters who harm the innocent!”
“Do you guys have any objections?”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining stared at the Commandment Whip in Sheng Xiao’s hand and fear appeared on their faces. The Commandment Whip was a spiritual whip. When someone activated it with spiritual energy, countless sharp spikes would appear in the Commandment Whip at the same time. When the Commandment Whip whipped someone, the upside down spikes would pierce through their flesh.
Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining had never suffered such punishment before.
“… No.”
The siblings were sensible and accepted the punishment obediently.
“Alright!”
Sheng Xiao nodded heavily and put the two spiritual energy suppressors on their wrists. Then, he pinched Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining’s fingers and activated the divine power in his body. Instantly, Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining sensed that the spiritual energy in their bodies was snatched away by a powerful suction force and sent into the spiritual energy suppressors on their wrists.
In an instant, the siblings fell from the Grand Master realm to the early-stage Scholar realm.
The spiritual energy in their bodies that was as boundless as the vast sea instantly dissipated and became like a narrow stream. Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining were extremely discouraged. That feeling was like a poor person who had just enjoyed two months of spending money freely becoming broke once again.
Before the siblings could adapt to this, Sheng Xiao teleported behind them. Then, he waved the Commandment Whip in his hand mercilessly. The whip landed on Sheng Shi’an’s back first and tore his clothes apart, revealing blood.
Sheng Shi’an fell to the ground, but before he could recover, he heard Sheng Xiao say, “Get up!”
Sheng Shi’an clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and got up again.
Then, Sheng Xiao whipped Sheng Shining mercilessly once again.
Sheng Shining was prepared, so she wasn’t struck down by the first whip, but her back was lacerated, and she groaned in pain.
Sheng Xiao stared at the blood on the children’s backs as he said, “Sheng Shi’an, you took revenge on others to protect your sister. That’s not wrong, but you made a mistake by using dirty tricks! You could have fought with him and beaten him down openly to make him admit defeat, but you broke his safety rope. That’s murder!”
Sheng Shi’an’s eyes turned red, but he didn’t quibble.
Now that he had grown up, when he recalled what he had done in his childhood, he felt that it was indeed too much.
He accepted this punishment.
Sheng Xiao pointed out, “Sheng Shining, you knew that your classmate was afraid of frogs, but you deliberately hid frogs in her bag. That’s not just a prank. Your actions were immoral!”
Sheng Shining said with tears, “I know I was wrong. I’ll apologize to her.”
Sheng Xiao felt relieved when he saw that the children could understand his good intentions, but he said, “Bear with me. The punishment isn’t over yet!”
Sheng Xiao didn’t reduce his strength for the remaining 37 whips. When he was done giving them 38 whips, the two children were already lying on the ground and could no longer get up anymore. The clothes on their backs were already torn. The fabric was mixed with blurry flesh and blood. It was a gruesome sight.
As Sheng Xiao stared at the wounds on the children’s backs, he felt heartache. How could his heart not ache after he beat the children into this state?
Actually, to be honest, he was the biggest sinner.
All those years, he was dispirited because he had lost Yu Huang and neglected to disicipline the children.
He and Yu Huang had brought the children into this world without the children’s consent. He wasn’t a qualified and outstanding father, but he hoped that his children would become perfect children.
This was wrong.
Sheng Xiao suddenly turned around and handed the Commandment Whip to Yu Huang. Then, he pulled off his shirt and turned his back to Yu Huang as he said, “As a father, I have neglected the children, so I am guilty too. I deserve to be punished with 38 Commandment Whips.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yu and Eternal looked at each other, but didn’t dare to say anything.
Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining knelt on the ground weakly while looking at their father.
Yu Huang took the Commandment Whip.
The Commandment Whip was dyed red with blood that dripped onto the ground.
Yu Huang looked at the two children.
Sheng Shining and Sheng Shi’an shook their heads and said, “This is our fault. It has nothing to do with Daddy.”
“How can it have nothing to do with him?” Yu Huang smiled at the children gently and said, “We’re family. If the children grow up crooked, it’s difficult for parents to escape responsibility. Your father should indeed be punished along with you guys. Father and children are one.”
Then, Yu Huang waved her right hand and whipped Sheng Xiao’s back with the Commandment Whip.
When the Commandment Whip landed, a wound appeared on Sheng Xiao’s back. Then, the skin around the wound was cut by sharp barbs and blood flowed out.
Sheng Xiao groaned and said, “Again!”
Yu Huang didn’t even frown as she waved her whip again.
Every whip landed in the same place. When the 38 whips were over, Sheng Xiao’s ribs were clearly visible.
“Dad!”
Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining hugged Sheng Xiao’s leg.
It was only at this moment that they realized their mistake.
“We were wrong, Dad. We were wrong. We won’t be willful and reckless anymore. Dad, does it hurt?”
How could it not hurt?
