Zhao Zhao looked confused. He still didn't understand what happened today.

Will time travel still happen in the spirit world?

Xi Yan, who was standing quietly below, smiled at him reassuringly, and said in a gentle and smiling voice, "Master Feng, Zhu Long is not bothering us."

"I didn't expect that the sarcastic Zhulong would also be reasonable sometimes." The Phoenix Lord held Yue in one hand and supported his chin with the other.

When she first heard the news, she thought she would have to risk her life to rescue these people from the angry Zhulong.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Lord Feng didn't say anything and just stared at Yue in the bubble, so the others didn't dare to speak either.

For the Phoenix Lord who is tens of thousands of years old, it is not a big problem for the cub to sleep for more than ten or twenty years. However, her time is approaching, and she doesn't know whether she can wait until Yue wakes up.

Ye was led by Nan Yu and stood there for a while. Seeing that his mother still did not move and just stared at his annoying cheap brother, he said impatiently: "Mom, please say something! I'm starving and want to eat!"

He didn’t care about his sleeping brother, didn’t care about the trouble he had caused, and only thought about his hungry stomach.

Zhao Zhao glanced over with a warning look, and Ye snorted at him.

The Phoenix Lord's attention was drawn to the anxious little cub. She sneered, "You still want to eat?"

"You escaped from the Phoenix Clan without permission and caused such trouble. I haven't settled the score with you yet." Originally, I didn't want to use punishment because the cub was still young, but now it seems that I have to punish him.

Her expression turned cold, and she said without hesitation: "Ye will punish you with ten lashes, Yizhao, you will carry it out."

Meeting those majestic golden eyes, Zhao Zhao was stunned and quickly lowered his head: "...Yes."

The Ten Commandments whip is indeed too heavy for a cub...

"What?!" Ye jumped up immediately.

"Mother, do you want to kill me?"

He didn't dare to argue with his mother, and looked at Zhao Zhao: "Yizhao! What 'yes' did you say? Why don't you plead for me!" His little chest rose and fell, and his temper was so bad at such a young age.

Zhao Zhao: ...The heart that couldn't bear it just now, now suddenly can bear it.

Ye really deserves a beating.

The Phoenix Lord was having a headache because of the noisy cubs. She rubbed her eyebrows and suppressed the powerful pressure at the same time. Then Ye knelt down.

But even when kneeling, the cub's slightly narrowed eyes were full of defiance.

This is an untamed little phoenix...

On the spot, a servant put a whip in Zhao Zhao's hand. Zhao Zhao walked down the stairs step by step. Facing the cub who was staring at him unconvinced, he did not hesitate to whip him on the spot at the command of the Phoenix Lord.

"ah!"

Ye's dark eyes stared into the boy's cold eyes. They stood very close to each other, but he did not see himself in the man's eyes.

Zhao Zhao really didn't have any extra thoughts. He put aside all distractions and handled the matter impartially, just slightly reducing the force in his hands to avoid crippling the young master.

After the nine whips, Ye lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly without making any noise, which made the people present look at him with admiration.

After the punishment was over, the Phoenix Lord held the sleeping Yue in his arms. His deep golden eyes watched the boy and the cub's every move below, and he finally gave the order: "Yizhao, from now on, Young Master Ye will still be under your care."

"As for Xi Yan, you just need to take care of the clan's affairs." The implication was that Xi Yan should not meddle in other people's business.

She could see that Ye and Yue liked Zhao Zhao more, and their attitude towards him was much more dependent than that of ordinary people.

It turned out that she had a good eye for people and had made the right choice from the beginning.

"Yes." Xi Yan smiled bitterly. He had failed to take good care of the Young Master, which had led to the Young Master's escape from the Phoenix Clan. For a moment, facing the powerful Phoenix Master, he was rarely lacking in momentum.

After beating Ye, Lord Feng did not take back the whip. Zhao Zhao held the blood-stained whip in his hand and looked coldly at the stubborn cub lying on the ground.

The little girl's back was bright red, and her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at him straight on.

He tilted his head slightly, thinking that Ye would hate him, but there was no resentment towards him in those dark eyes.

"For the next thing, you should do as I say." Lord Feng carried the sleeping Yue away.

Xi Yan led Nan Yu, who had taken Zhao Zhao away from the Phoenix Clan without permission, to receive punishment. In the hall, only Zhao Zhao, who was standing expressionlessly, and Ye, who was still lying on the ground, were left.

Invisibly, the two were secretly competing with each other. The scene was very quiet and the atmosphere was frozen.

The long whip in Zhao Zhao's hand was left behind. This was the power that the Phoenix Lord tacitly granted to him - the power to punish the young master.

“Tap tap.”

When footsteps sounded, Ye raised his eyelids and his eyes first fell on the blood-stained whip.

"Are you going to hit me again?" A childish, hoarse voice sounded, and the cub's expression remained stubborn: "I'm not wrong! I just want to find you!"

"You are the one who is wrong! You handed me over to Xiyan without my permission. I don't like Xiyan, so naturally I don't want to be around him!!!"

"So the reason I fled the Phoenix Clan is all because of you!"

His body was embraced in a familiar cold embrace. Ye paused, his eyes reddened, and he suddenly buried his head in Zhao Zhao's neck, his fingers tightly grasping the collar of his chest without letting go: "...I'm not wrong..." He kept muttering, very stubborn.

"You are wrong." Zhao Zhao repeated, as if she was determined to confront him to the end.

We cannot compromise on matters of principle.

Ye has too high self-esteem and is too arrogant. If this continues, he will be difficult to discipline.

"I'm right!" The rough rebuttal drowned out the cold and calm voice.

Zhao Zhao closed his eyes and said, "I was wrong too."

"...Yeh, there's no shame in admitting your mistakes."

"You have accepted your punishment. Next, I will accept the punishment for my own mistakes."

Unexpectedly, the cub who had just been competing with him suddenly shouted in disbelief: "Why are you going to get punished for nothing?" His movements were too big and pulled the injury on his back, causing him to grimace in pain.

A hint of interest flashed in Zhao Zhao's eyes: "I thought you would be happy to see me punished."

Ye couldn't listen any longer: "You are right, you don't need to be punished at all. If you dare to accept the punishment privately, I will not forgive you!"

The cub was emotional and started roaring again. Zhao Zhao's eyes were complicated: "You are the one who said I was wrong, and you are also the one who said I was not wrong...you..."

"Okay, okay!" Ye stared at the pair of dim eyes that finally showed his presence, leaned his head on Zhao Zhao's chest, listened to the strong and healthy heartbeat, and looked a little aggrieved.

He compromised: "You are not wrong, it's all my fault, okay!"

"I've already been punished, what else do you want? This matter is over, no one is allowed to dwell on it, and no one is allowed to mention it again!"

I thought Ye would hate him...

Zhao Zhao held the long whip in one hand and held the weak Ye firmly in the other. His thoughts were a little out of sync with the cub's thinking.

One day, I suddenly found that the person I wanted to discipline was actually quite cute.

If Ye makes a mistake in the future, will he still be able to whip him without any expression?

Zhao Zhao is not sure.
