678 Being Forced
The bird was still stubborn.
“How can I, Ah Yao, be threatened by a mortal like you?”
Ah Yao? That was a very simple and feminine name. So, the bird really was female.
Jiang Ming could not help but laugh. “Your name is pretty nice.”
Seeing that her name had been exposed, Ah Yao coughed and said, “What’s wrong with my name? It’s easy to understand and easy to remember.”
“Alright. How about this? If you tell us the truth, we won’t ask for the Mated Sword.”
Master Long adjusted his collar and looked at Ah Yao seriously.
“Really?”
Ah Yao still could not believe it. She looked at Master Long hesitantly.
“Yes,” Master Long answered seriously.
His thinking was far beyond that of his predecessors.
At most, he could just get someone to forge an identical Mated Sword.
Seeing that Master Long’s words did not seem to be false, Ah Yao put down some of her defenses and looked at Master Long. “Actually, there were no intruders. I just accidentally triggered the Mated Sword. The Mated Sword is the punishment set for the other demons.”
“Why did you set a punishment?”
Jiang Ming was confused. He did not know what Ah Yao meant.
Ah Yao pursed her lips and was silent for a while before saying, “Because the Mated Sword can’t be triggered by demons, I forced it to be triggered.”
“So, you were just going to ignore other demons for your own selfishness?”
Jiang Ming glared at Ah Yao.
He could not have imagined that such an innocent and harmless girl would be so ruthless.
Master Long did not agree with Ah Yao’s decision. “If my daughter, Long Qingqing, did that, I would have to give her a hard smack.”
Upon hearing his words, Ah Yao started to tremble, but she could not help but become stubborn. “You said that you wouldn’t use the Mated Sword, so you can’t use it.”
Seeing Ah Yao’s obviously childish temperament, Master Long was instantly rendered speechless. He stepped forward, pulled Ah Yao over, and started spanking her.
The piercing pain caused Ah Yao to return to her original form, but Master Long still kept spanking her.
As he spanked her, he said, “Those are your brothers and sisters. How can you be so cruel? Don’t you feel any guilt?”
Hearing Master Long’s reprimand, Ah Yao was still stubborn. “Why am I the bad guy? I wanted them to be united and friendly, and I don’t even have to worry about the Mated Sword being taken away.”
Jiang Ming was rendered speechless. He looked at Master Long. Master Long happened to be looking at him at the same time, and his eyes were wide.
At this moment, Ah Yao suddenly started crying pitifully. “In the past, I was always bullied by these demons and was covered in wounds. What’s wrong with me getting revenge? Why can’t I get back at them?”
Jiang Ming and Master Long looked at each other and fell silent again.
From Ah Yao’s point of view, she did nothing wrong.
However, from the perspective of other demons, this was extremely wrong.
“Did these demons really bully you?”
Jiang Ming suddenly thought of something and looked at Ah Yao.
Hearing Jiang Ming’s words, Ah Yao suddenly hesitated. She was obviously feeling guilty.
Seeing Ah Yao like this, Master Long was even more dumbfounded. He looked at Ah Yao. “Why did you lie to us when you had nothing better to do? Were you using our empathy to let you go? Don’t be ridiculous. We won’t let you off!”
At this moment, a rumbling sound of collapse suddenly came from the surroundings.
The Hundred Demon Tower seemed to be about to fall.
Master Long quickly looked at Jiang Ming. “Lord Ning Caichen, let’s go quickly. This place seems to be collapsing.”
However, Jiang Ming was determined not to leave at this time. Instead, he dissuaded Master Long. “Master Long, you’re thinking too much. This place won’t collapse. You must have been mistaken.”
Master Long was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Ming strangely. “Lord Ning Caichen, the stone peak inside is already on the verge of collapse. Will it really not collapse? Let’s be cautious, shall we?”
At this point, he gulped and looked completely afraid.
Jiang Ming patted Master Long’s shoulder. “Don’t mind it. All this crumbling is just an illusion. The only way now is to wait for this place to go back to normal.”
Master Long could not believe it. He looked at Jiang Ming suspiciously. “Lord Ning Caichen, are you sure?”
“Trust me, we’ll be fine.”
Afraid that Master Long would not believe him, Jiang Ming repeated himself and patted Master Long’s shoulder to comfort him.
Seeing that Jiang Ming had said so, Master Long could not say anything else. He nodded and said, “I believe you, Lord Ning Caichen.”
After a while, just as Jiang Ming said, the movement in the Hundred Demon Tower immediately stopped.
Ah Yao was surprised. “I thought you two would run away. I didn’t expect you to still be here.”
Hearing Ah Yao’s words, Master Long immediately understood everything. He looked at Ah Yao and said, “So, you did something to it.”
Ah Yao laughed. “If I didn’t do that, I might not have been able to escape. But now that I’ve changed my mind, you might not be able to defeat me.”
At this point, Ah Yao’s entire body erupted with purple light.
She went straight for Jiang Ming’s ear, obviously trying to deafen Jiang Ming.
Master Long saw this and kicked Ah Yao. However, Ah Yao quickly dodged and even mocked Master Long.
Jiang Ming was originally motionless, but he suddenly teleported to Ah Yao’s side.
Ah Yao’s eyes widened. She did not expect Jiang Ming to be so fast. She suddenly felt scared and looked at Jiang Ming to beg for mercy. “Lord Ning Caichen, I was wrong. Please let me go.”
However, for Jiang Ming, Ah Yao’s begging was no longer enough to spare her. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Ah Yao, why didn’t you beg for mercy when I asked you to? Why did you have to wait until now to beg for mercy? No matter what, it’s too late now. You should just surrender.”
As he spoke, Jiang Ming turned Ah Yao around and gave her a hard spank, just like the punishment given by Master Long.
Ah Yao did not expect Jiang Ming to learn from Master Long. She immediately complained, “I was wrong, I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
However, Jiang Ming did not listen to Ah Yao at all.
He had seen Ah Yao’s pained expression when Master Long spanked her.
