"From now on, do exactly what I say."
Upon hearing Butler Li's voice, Yu Ling trembled slightly, clearly frightened.
However, this was just a facade. He didn't care about what would happen next. His body only had superficial wounds that looked serious, but in fact, his internal organs had been restored by the Longevity Turtle Breathing Technique.
I just thought I couldn't let this beating go unpunished; I wanted to keep it to cause trouble.
It's just that... I can't help but want to be cheeky, and it's really frustrating when I can't speak.
Never mind, these aren't problems. We'll just have to adapt to the situation.
Or... how about... we keep pushing the boundaries of self-destruction?
"Nod if you understand."
Upon hearing the question, Yu Ling instantly perked up.
"Ababa!!!" No way!
Butler Li watched as Yu Ling actually rolled her eyes at him with a straight face.
Okay, he admits defeat.
This guy is an idiot [beep] .
"...I'll take that as a yes. Now, stand over here."
"Ah~ba? Ah~~" Oh? You're so cool, huh?
Yu Ling protested in dissatisfaction.
The way the tone was so subtle that Butler Li almost understood it.
"Don't make me say it a second time."
Butler Li reprimanded him with a stern face.
Yu Ling pouted, her reluctance clearly visible. A mere housekeeper putting on such a grand show to lecture people? Tch, just a bully using someone else's authority.
Seeing that Yu Ling did as she was told, but her posture was crooked and awkward, Steward Li continued:
"Stand still."
"Ah—Ba?"
Yu Ling, not to be outdone, maintained her nonchalant attitude, looking utterly irritating.
Butler Li: ......
It's hardened; its fists have hardened.
Is it because the scars haven't healed yet that you're no longer afraid of pain?
"You dare 'ba' again?! Stand still!"
Oh dear, he's getting anxious! He's getting anxious!
Yu Ling shrugged upon seeing this, inwardly complaining, but immediately shut her mouth.
You can't just keep stubbornly arguing; you have to use techniques.
The down-on-his-luck young master, struggling to move forward and having no time to tidy himself up, obediently lowered his head.
He straightened his back and stood properly. Even the most discerning etiquette teacher could only point out his shortcomings in appearance rather than his posture.
Looking up, her eyes, which had been blurry with tears, suddenly revealed a sharp glint, and an air of detached pride, as firm as a pine tree, suddenly emerged.
But when Butler Li took a second look, the person in front of him had turned back into that pitiful little thing that everyone could bully.
This person... is strange...
But this did not diminish his desire to kill.
This guy is so annoying!
Butler Li's method of disciplining people is very simple; the word "reward" alone is enough to summarize it.
The beating wasn't just a brutal beating; it was a blow to a person's sore spot.
The reward isn't about giving money, but rather offering some empty promises of encouragement, such as... reducing punishment.
No matter how powerful the young master's background and status were, or how much wealth he possessed, as long as one is human, one will have emotions and desires!
Every living being has weaknesses!
Find his weakness, and you can make him obedient and submit.
At first, the tasks that Butler Li asked Yu Ling to do were very simple: sit down, stand up, walk over or away, hand things over, etc. They were easy to complete and posed no threat whatsoever.
Later, it gradually worsened.
Later, they started picking fights and physically punishing people.
He was testing Yu Ling's bottom line.
Yu Ling also saw through this person's purpose. She had never seen anything like it before. What kind of longevity plant hadn't he seen?
Want to train yourself? Fun, fun, let's play!
Now, he is being punished by a lame excuse like "stepping with the left foot first".
The punishment was a slap on the hand. (Later, Yu was still pretending to be in pain; don't assume he wasn't.)
It was a very childish punishment, one that even a three-year-old child wouldn't be afraid of, but he struck Yu Ling's left hand.
The feeling was indescribable.
The two burly men who were pressing down on the person couldn't bear to look at them.
Butler Li had a strong grip, and his hand swelled up in no time.
Yu Ling was extremely anxious. She quickly stopped the Longevity Turtle Breathing Technique. She had to be quick, or the injury would heal in no time.
"Dodge, add five strokes. Resist, add ten strokes. Disrespectful attitude, add twenty strokes."
While coldly reciting the rules, Butler Li's hands never stopped, and in no time, he had silently labeled Yu Ling with several accusations.
Roughly estimated, besides those who have already been beaten, they would need another hundred or so blows.
It would be a miracle if an ordinary person could stand it!
Yu Ling knew very well what Steward Li was planning. He didn't really intend to cripple her; he just wanted to instill fear and timidity in her, so that she would be subdued and submit, and then he could bring her to Sun to show off his achievements.
Yu Ling, who was very cooperative, looked embarrassed and pleaded a few times. She dared not pull her hand away or resist, and could only keep gesturing with her good right hand.
It roughly means, "Please, stop, let me go," or something like that.
Butler Li pretended not to understand and enjoyed smoking.
"Awooba—"
Suddenly, a sharp blow struck her fingertips, causing her left hand to twitch uncontrollably. Yu Ling pulled her hand back.
Butler Li laughed, "You've made a mistake again."
"Add five more boards."
Yu Ling pushed the board away and frantically gestured, "He doesn't want it! He refuses!"
"Huh? Resist? Add fifteen strokes."
Yu Ling quickly withdrew her hand again.
Then he handed over his right hand, indicating whether he could play from another spot.
Butler Li refused without hesitation, his words laced with malice, saying:
