Chapter 82: Punishment
"My mistake was hiding it from Master and making Master worry..." Qi Shaoyou saw Liang Man's cold expression and immediately knelt on the ground without any hesitation.
"Wrong?" Liang Man raised an eyebrow, her face cold. That single expression alone was enough to make countless fans cry out: "Sister, kill me!"
Liang Man knew that Qi Shaoyou's brows were furrowed and there was indeed regret in his eyes. However, Liang Man knew better than anyone that Qi Shaoyou regretted not hiding it from her.
If we could do it again, if we could do it again...
Qi Shaoyou will still make the same choice. Faced with this clear realization, Liang Man felt a sharp, agonizing pain in her heart, as if she had been struck by a hammer.
“Master…you taught me that I must put the world first. I simply cannot do that, I cannot abandon everything…”
Qi Shaoyou softened his tone, trying to plead for himself.
She tugged at Liang Man's skirt, and her slightly icy hand took the opportunity to sneakily touch her master's exposed calf.
With her warm body temperature and delicate skin, Qi Shaoyou had wanted to hold her master's ankle since she was Liang Man's apprentice.
However, at that time she dared not cross the line between master and disciple. Now it's different; this is her wife, whom she loves in return.
"Stand up and sit on the sofa." Liang Man felt a shiver run through her as she felt the heat from her ankle. She took a step back and glared at Qi Shaoyou.
Caught red-handed, Qi Shaoyou instantly showed an expression of remorse. His eyebrows drooped, and his expression revealed a hint of ingratiation.
We know that expression all too well. She had that expression when she knocked over the candle, when she trespassed into forbidden territory, when she was under the influence of a love potion…
It's the same expression...
This person is good at pretending to be innocent in order to achieve their own goals.
"Yes, Master." Qi Shaoyou nodded, patted the dust off her clothes, changed her shoes, and sat down on the sofa.
Obeying her master's orders was practically her life motto in her past life. Qi Shaoyou sat on the sofa, exceptionally obedient. She sat upright, her hands on her knees, her gaze following Liang Man.
Liang Man noticed Qi Shaoyou's gaze, but instead of turning around to look at her, she locked the door first.
"Alexa, turn on pheromone blocking mode."
Liang Man's voice was cold, like the sound of jade being struck.
Qi Shaoyou sensed something was wrong...
The last time her master was so angry was because she helped counteract the effects of the aphrodisiac. She didn't see her master for three months after that.
She can't accept not seeing Sister Manman for three months now.
"Master, please don't punish me by making it impossible to see you, okay?" Qi Shaoyou's expression was a little unpleasant. If he were to punish her with this...
She was really suffering too much and couldn't bear it anymore.
Upon hearing this, Liang Man showed her first genuine smile in three months.
Hearing the soft laughter, Qi Shaoyou assumed her master had agreed. Her eyes lit up, but just as she was about to stand up, she was scolded.
"Hmm?" Liang Man only used one word. Now she seemed more like the aloof and detached master from her past life.
There are some differences between her past life and this life. In this life, Liang Man still has friendships and some life experiences. In that world, Liang Man was truly placed on a high platform, and the only vibrant color in her life was Qi Shaoyou.
In this situation, everything seems exceptionally different.
"Don't move without my permission." Liang Man's words made Qi Shaoyou nervously swallow.
What his master did next completely stunned Qi Shaoyou.
Liang Man gathered her long hair and tied it up with a hair tie. After her hair was tied up, her fair and delicate neck was revealed.
"Okay...okay, Master." Qi Shaoyou felt like her soul was about to fly away; she found it hard to describe the feeling. Just seeing that snow-white, delicate neck made her want to touch it.
The last time I touched it, it felt like touching a warm piece of jade. It was delicate and smooth, and carried Master's unique fragrance.
His heartbeat completely lost its original rhythm, and Qi Shaoyou felt as if his hearing had been hijacked by his heartbeat.
Everything else had lost its color; Qi Shaoyou's eyes were fixed only on Liang Man in front of him.
However, this wasn't the only thing that drove her mad. Only today did Qi Shaoyou truly understand what a sweet punishment was.
It's so sweet it's almost unbearable, yet so agonizing it makes you want to die.
Liang Man walked to the sofa and sat sideways on Qi Shaoyou's lap. To be precise, it was Qi Shaoyou's hands, which were obediently resting on his knees, that sat on her.
The rich fragrance of jasmine is now within reach.
"Master, I was wrong. I was really wrong." Qi Shaoyou really wanted to cry this time.
To make Liang Man more comfortable, she gently relaxed her arms and leaned forward slightly, no longer sitting so upright.
His blood surged because of the readily available fragrance, and it was at this moment that Qi Shaoyou remembered something.
There's no pain relief patch on her neck right now! It's a good thing she didn't climb the stairs, otherwise she probably would have been arrested as a criminal.
The mere release of pheromones was enough to make Qi Shaoyou feel dizzy and lightheaded.
His body temperature rose rapidly, and Qi Shaoyou felt like he was sick and his mind was starting to go haywire.
I want to kiss my master, I want to touch my master, I want to do to my master what the spring breeze does to the jasmine flowers on the branches...
Memories from his past life flooded back one by one, making Qi Shaoyou blush and his heart race.
She wanted to see her master, but fearing she wouldn't be able to control herself, she could only turn her head away.
"What, am I too old and unattractive to even glance at you?" Liang Man rarely spoke with such self-deprecating undertones, so Qi Shaoyou quickly defended himself.
"No, no! I didn't!" Qi Shaoyou shook his head fiercely, but when he turned to look at Liang Man, all he could see were his master's red lips.
Such a beautiful lip color; it would be so sweet if she tasted it. No, wait, she could change her master's lip color.
Qi Shaoyou stared blankly at Liang Man's lips, almost unable to control his urge to kiss her.
From the very beginning, Liang Man noticed the strong smell of alcohol on Qi Shaoyou. The dissipated alph essence wasn't very strong to her.
She's taken so many suppressants over the years that she hardly remembers the burning sensation in her body after being induced into estrus.
It wasn't until she sat in the girl's lap, completely enveloped by the pheromones that smelled of strong liquor, that she truly felt it.
Yes, the person in front of her was a real person, not a figment of her imagination.
"So, to prove there's nothing, you're just being lazy and not even bothering to suppress your pheromones?" Liang Man's cold expression revealed no emotion.
Qi Shaoyou's heart was in her throat. When she heard her master mention pheromones, she was shocked to realize that she had unconsciously enveloped her master with pheromones.
From head to toe, leaving nothing out.
Qi Shaoyou's face flushed, her body temperature burning like lava. She gasped, trying to control her pheromones.
After trying for three seconds, her efforts not only failed to help but actually caused more pheromones to dissipate.
The only good news is that Qi Shaoyou is no longer intoxicated by his own pheromones.
The pheromones of strong liquor intertwined with the scent of jasmine, like a puppy eager to play with a kitten, following it closely.
"Master, I can't do it..." Qi Shaoyou lowered his head in frustration, which softened Liang Man's heart.
Just because she's softened her heart doesn't mean she'll let Qi Shaoyou off the hook.
"So, even my amazing disciple has things she can't do," Liang Man said, her tone a mix of teasing and indifference.
Qi Shaoyou felt a little embarrassed; she knew from these words that her master was still angry.
"What should you do if you can't do something?"
The voice remained cold and indifferent; Qi Shaoyou knew that his master was guiding him.
"Please help me, Master. I really don't know what to do." Qi Shaoyou moved closer to Liang Man's neck, inhaling the jasmine fragrance emanating from it without touching her skin.
Her heat cycle had been triggered, and she could only find a little comfort when she was close to her master.
Feeling dizzy, Qi Shaoyou even had the urge to lick her snow-white neck. But reason, like a rope, tightened around her neck, forcing her to calm down.
If she doesn't give her master a satisfactory answer, she'll surely be doomed.
She longed to kiss him, she longed to hug her master. But the way they were positioned, Qi Shaoyou's hand was trapped in something soft and he couldn't reach out at all.
It's so agonizing, so incredibly agonizing...
Qi Shaoyou felt like the veins in her neck were about to bulge, and sweat poured down her forehead like rain. Her heart was pounding so fast it hurt, as if she'd drunk countless cups of coffee.
"Just one sentence?" Liang Man spoke slowly, and Qi Shaoyou immediately realized what his master meant.
"Please, Master, save me! I promise I will never lie about anything that happens to me again!"
"No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will tell my master!"
Qi Shaoyou racked her brains and could only come up with two sentences. The burning sensation brought on by her heat was like having her brain roasted over a fire.
Her IQ had practically dropped to zero; she was almost in tears looking at Liang Man. If her master still disagreed, her only request was to knock her unconscious.
If she were knocked unconscious, she would suffer less of this torment. Qi Shaoyou tried to take her gaze away from her fair neck and her master's face, and then she saw the dress her master was wearing today.
It was a very, very beautiful dress, a beige-colored, flared-neck gown. Qi Shaoyou only glanced at it once, and he knew he was doomed.
Bury...
"Master..." Qi Shaoyou's voice was truly choked with sobs this time, and she forced herself to look down.
The dress with the sway neck was usually very long, and when Qi Shaoyou looked down, all he could see was Liang Man's snow-white ankles.
The high heels were very pretty, and she could clearly see a faint red mark where she had just held them.
This time, Qi Shaoyou truly cried. She couldn't bear this punishment...
"How old are you? Why are you still shedding tears?" Liang Man asked softly, gently wiping away the tears on Qi Shaoyou's face.
"Since you've said that, as your master, I have to agree, right?" Liang Man wiped away Qi Shaoyou's tears and then let her tied-up ponytail fall to the side.
She reached out and tore off the patch that had been stuck to her glands.

While writing this chapter, I was constantly screaming "Ah ...
If I get 300 pre-orders for "The Princess" and "The Sister", I'll start pre-orders for "The Master" and "The Princess".
If! If! I'll keep writing two books at a time (one I originally planned to write, and another in the form of a master or princess)...
(It's alright, it's alright, I don't think I'll reach that point. I plan to just have Master as the main character for two books.)
