The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

239. A Novel Punishment?

Translator: 独步三月

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Four hours after the previous conversation with the old man, which ended unhappily, Ice Qilin couldn’t stand the imprisonment any longer. He kept kicking the cage, making a loud noise, which echoed on the Mount Crest.

Knowing that the cage was specifically designed by the old man to imprison him, and he wouldn’t be capable of breaking it, he still kept kicking it unremittingly.

The intention of Ice Qilin was actually very simple. While he was not happy, the old man shouldn’t have an easy life as well. Since he couldn’t get out, he had to make the loud noise so as to irritate the old man.

Therefore, for the next six hours, the “bam” noise kept ringing. It turned out that before the old man came out, the Demon Beasts below could not stand it any longer. The noise made by Ice Qilin wasn’t just simple sounds. It contained a few sonic waves of attacks. If one’s mental force was not firm enough, he would go mad.

“Is that enough?” The man finally appeared again. His eyebrows were knitted tightly, as if he was extremely annoyed.

Seeing him, Ice Qilin finally stopped his movement, raised his chin and said arrogantly, “Let me out immediately, or I will continue.”

The man chuckled at this, and a touch of softness showed in his cold and harsh facial features. However, when he looked toward Ice Qilin, he regained his former coldness. “Unless you know why you were wrong, don’t even think about getting out. But I have to thank you. If it weren’t for your frequent sonic attacks, the beasts below would still be confined within their original realm.”

Ice Qilin was furious and bared his teeth at him. “You bastard, you only know how to find trouble with me! What kind of a father are you? You disgust me! You don’t deserve to be a father, hmph!”

“If you were not my son, I would’t bother to mind your business. If you don’t reflect on yourself, don’t think about getting out.”

No matter what Ice Qilin said, the man was unmoved. He insisted on making Ice Qilin realize that he was wrong.

Ice Qilin was once again tickled with anger. He would rather not have this father, who was actually abusing his power as father to implement punishment. However, in the end, he only targeted him alone.

“I’ll ask you one last time. How will you let me go?”

Ice Qilin definitely didn’t believe that the old man just wanted him to realize his mistake; he must have other goals.

At Ice Qilin’s expression, the man knew what he was thinking. He sighed. This brat was not only hot-tempered. Every time he punished Ice Qilin, Ice Qilin would think that he was deliberately trying to mess with Ice Qilin or had other goals. Ice Qilin didn’t believe that his father really wanted him to repent. The other brothers had never acted like Ice Qilin before.

“I’ve already said that as long as you acknowledge your mistake, I’ll let you out immediately.”

The man was repeating what he had said hundreds of times, but his youngest son put on an expression of disbelief again, and insisted on thinking that he had to have other goals. Sometimes he really wanted to open his son’s head and see what was inside; how could he have such a wooden-headed son!

When Ice Qilin heard this monotonous excuse, he could not stand it any longer. He gave the cage a violent kick and finally acknowledged his mistake, but it was still not so sincere. “Alright, I was wrong. Let me go.”

“Is this the tone of admitting mistakes?” The man was not moved at all.

“Hey, what do you want? I’ve already acknowledged my mistake.” Looking at his expressionless look, Ice Qilin was annoyed.

“What I want is a sincere apology, not such a perfunctory one. And one more thing, I have to deal with all the trouble you caused,” these words had been said by the man a long time ago, and he never imagined that after so many years, they would come out of his mouth again.

The corner of Ice Qilin’s mouth twitched. Obviously, he also thought of the same thing with the man. Alright, he felt guilty.

He was indeed the initiator of what happened in the South Region Forest. It was fair for him to solve it personally. Most importantly, he was very sure that if he didn’t admit his mistake, his previous experience told him that the old man would really keep him locked up, which would be worse than killing him.

He tried hard to take deep breaths and mentally rehearsed the speech a few times. Although he had done it many times, he still needed to prepare himself.

“Sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have messed around along with those disciples and followers. I promise that after I go out, I will make the South Region Forest return to its original state. Please forgive me, I will never do it again!” Ice Qilin said stiffly. Although he had a bad temper and loved causing trouble, he always kept his promise. Of course, he would only stay true to the former part; as to the latter one, he had promised a lot of times.

The man also knew that Ice Qilin had such a merit, which was among his other rare advantages, so he nodded with satisfaction. “It’d be good to admit it early. Come out!” After saying this, he removed the access control applied to the cage.

With a flash of light, Ice Qilin rejoiced to find that the access control that imprisoned him disappeared. He rush out in haste, and at the same time he attacked the man directly, which was fermented in his mind long .

The man narrowed his eyes and was not surprised at all. On the contrary, he seemed to have predicted that he would do this. He extended his hand. With only a simple capture movement, Ice Qilin was caught in an instant and the attack naturally dissipated.

“Ah…let me go, you hurt me,” Ice Qilin yelled angrily. Damn it, he failed again.

“You know that you’re no match for me, but you kept provoking me again and again. Little Bing, am I pampering you too much?” The man lowered his head and leaned in front of him. His tone was a little cold and strong.

Ice Qilin clenched its teeth in pain and swore, “Be careful. When you fall into my hands one day. You will know the meaning of ‘pain’!”

The man’s name is Wuya, the first dragon in the world.

He was very strong and no one had ever dared to say such things to him. However, every time his youngest son was locked up by him, his son would threaten him with the words. In the past, he never took it seriously. However, this time when he finally saw him back, the man felt that he would not let his son go again.

“Little Bing, it seems that I have not taught you enough lesson, so I don’t have to wait for that day anymore. Just today, let me teach you what to say and what not to say.” The man revealed a dangerous expression.

Ice Qilin shivered coldly.

This was the first time he saw this expression from the old man. In the past, the old man simply ignored his swears and never got angry, but now it seemed a little bad. The old man was really angry!

“You, you, you… Don’t think that I’ll be afraid of you just because you intimidate me!” Although Ice Qilin was a little worried, he still made grand gestures and shouted back.

The man was indifferent. He stared at Ice Qilin and said calmly, “You will find out whether I am scaring you or not soon.”

After the words, he dragged Ice Qilin away. Ice Qilin felt that the old man was serious. He immediately yelled and refused to go in. The man added some strength on the hand grabbing Ice Qilin’s wrist, and Ice Qilin’s shouting volume doubled again, but the resistance was even more violent. The man carried Ice Qilin over his shoulder and strode towards the red tile house next to him.

“You rotten turtle! Bastard! Put me down immediately. I will pretend that this incident never happened.”

An unprecedented sense of crisis struck the whole body of Ice Qilin. He felt that he had stepped on the old man’s untouchable scale today. With the remaining bit of reason, he strived to think of a way to escape, but the more he thought, the more chaotic his mind became. He couldn’t think of a way at all. As they were approaching the old man’s house, Ice Qilin was really worried about the so-called punishment, but in spite of it, his roar was still full of strength.

“You are scared now? It’s too late.”

How could the man not detect Ice Qilin was showing his white feather, but this time he had made up his mind that no matter how the brat begged for mercy, he would not stop. It was time to teach him a real lesson and let him know that the authority of parents could not be provoked again and again.

“Who’s scared? Put me down! Ice Qilin wouldn’t never admit that he was a little frightened.

The red tile house was neat and tidy. Once they walked through the door, most of the room could be seen clearly. The man was not particular about details, so he didn’t have a lot of requirements for his living place. As long as it was quiet and relaxing, it would be fine. He carried Ice Qilin and walked past the deliberately enlarged and erected folding screen, behind which there was a large clean bed, obviously not used much,

Ice Qilin looked at the bed with his head upside down, and his face darkened.

Did the old man want to punish him in bed? What kind of punishment was this? Why hadn’t he heard of it? Could it be a novel punishment that the old man thought of?

A series of questions surfaced in Ice Qilin’s mind, and before he could ask, he was suddenly flipped around and was pressed by the man on his legs. The uneasy premonition in his mind became stronger and stronger. Ice Qilin couldn’t stand this weird feeling, so he turned his head and glared at the man.

“What do you want to do?”
