“Clang!”
With a deep, heavy thud, the door behind slammed shut.
The cold turning of the lock echoed clearly, sealing off all contact with the outside world.
Mo Qingqing faced the solid door, her slender neck slightly tilted back, her gaze drifting emptily across the ceiling.
Yet her thoughts had already flared up like ghostly phosphorescence kindling quietly in the darkness, dangerous and excited sparks leaping in her eyes.
“Mm… How should I play this…” she murmured softly, her voice barely audible, yet the corners of her lips had already curved with an amused, teasing arc.
On her stunningly beautiful face, that smile appeared strangely out of place—like a child discovering a novel toy, yet also like a hunter savoring the thrill of prey falling into their net.
Su Yun’s petite body froze abruptly.
The fluffy fox tail behind her stiffened in an instant, then curled up uneasily, pressing tightly between her legs.
A nameless chill shot up from the base of her tailbone to her head, as if some invisible telepathy warned her unmistakably that nothing good awaited her next.
“Mm… Let’s do a bit of discipline first.” Mo Qingqing lowered her gaze, eyes falling on Su Yun, who was trembling with fear. The curve of her lips deepened, and a glint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
“……” Su Yun felt that scrutinizing gaze.
Her little furry head almost buried itself in her chest, limbs taut, wishing she could disappear on the spot.
She dared not make a sound, only shrinking her presence as much as possible, praying desperately that this was just her nerves playing tricks on her.
But she never imagined a slender, jade-like hand would reach for her, with a force that brooked no resistance.
Su Yun felt a strength lift her abruptly from the ground.
Her body was extremely light.
Mo Qingqing effortlessly picked her up, as if she were holding a large plush doll.
That sensation of weightlessness, and the complete helplessness of being controlled, flooded her all at once, filling her with unprecedented panic.
“Uu…” Su Yun whimpered weakly, her voice full of unspeakable grievance and fear.
Her heart seemed ready to leap out of her throat, pounding madly in her chest.
Those golden eyes looked at Mo Qingqing pitifully, pleading for mercy in her gaze.
“Hehe, don’t worry, it won’t hurt～”
Mo Qingqing chuckled softly, her voice echoing in the empty room, but it sent a chill through Su Yun deeper than any pain.
Her tone was light, as if merely teasing a disobedient kitten, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes, instead tinged with a hint of mischief.
Indeed, this look was the most satisfying.
Holding the warm, light bundle in her arms—taut with fear—Mo Qingqing strode straight toward the bathroom in the corner of the room.
This was her temporary and shabby lodging; everything about it spoke of rushed travel and restraint. As the humid, faintly cool air of the bathroom hit her, she didn’t hesitate at all, directly stripping away the coarse cloth from Su Yun.
“M-Master…” Su Yun couldn’t help but exclaim, her voice trembling.
“Shut up!” Mo Qingqing’s eyes turned cold and sharp in an instant. Her slender fingertips, in a commanding gesture, pinched Su Yun’s small chin—not with great force, but leaving no room for objection.
“From now on, whenever you even think of deceiving me, remember today well!”
Now that what’s done is done, Su Yun was hers.
All that remained was to ensure she never dared hide the slightest thing from her again, so much so that even in her dreams, she would keep her mouth tightly shut.
“Uu…” Su Yun’s mouth was held fast, so all she could do was whimper indistinctly, her body shuddering with terror.
Those golden eyes, forced up by Mo Qingqing, stared blankly ahead, watching as Mo Qingqing took out two slender, sturdy hemp ropes.
“Put your hands behind your back.” Mo Qingqing’s voice was low and commanding, devoid of emotion.
“…Yes…” Su Yun, though so frightened her whole body was limp, found her survival instincts and fear of Mo Qingqing overpowered her resistance, and every cell in her body fought to obey.
She meekly complied, struggling to put her soft, delicate hands behind her back.
Immediately, her wrists were bound with the hemp rope, tied tightly by Mo Qingqing, leaving no possibility of escape.
After that, Mo Qingqing’s actions grew rougher. She grabbed Su Yun’s soft, slender legs, folding them up, and forcibly pressed them behind Su Yun’s head, then used another rope to tie them firmly in place.
This position twisted Su Yun’s body into an extreme arc, while her fluffy long tail was awkwardly squashed between her back and the bend of her knees, giving her a persistent, uncomfortable pressure.
“Uh…” Even though Su Yun’s body was unbelievably flexible, such an extreme bend still made breathing a little difficult.
A suffocating sense of panic rushed over her.
But before she could adjust—
Mo Qingqing’s fingertip gently tapped her eyes, and an invisible magical wave surged in.
Temporary Blindness Spell.
Her vision was instantly swallowed by darkness, boundless black enveloping everything.
Su Yun felt panic like never before, the world around her turning unknown and full of threats.
She couldn’t see!
What are you going to do… What kind of punishment is this… Don’t… Don’t scare me…
Cradling the small, warm, yet trembling body in her arms, Mo Qingqing couldn’t help but let a satisfied smile tug at her lips.
She gently rubbed the base of Su Yun’s fox ears, snug against her scalp, as if to soothe her, causing the bundle in her arms to tremble anew.
Then, from her space ring, she took out a transparent, faintly glowing red oval-shaped jade.
This kind of jade was accidentally refined by a certain witch. Meant to be an energy reservoir, its unique resonance frequency and inner structure accidentally birthed a special “effect.”
It had no true magical function, but with just a bit of magic injected, it could vibrate at a shocking frequency for 78 hours. The intensity and amplitude could be adjusted precisely depending on the purity of the magic used.
Mo Qingqing produced an Ornn Crystal and drew forth its pure magic, channeling it into the oval jade.
As soon as the jade touched Ornn magic, it began to tremble violently, so much that even Mo Qingqing nearly lost her grip.
“All right, I’m going to buy you some proper clothes. Your punishment will last until I return.” Mo Qingqing’s voice grew lighter, tinged with cheerfulness.
“Pun…punishment…”
Left behind?…
But soon, she understood.
“Please… uu… no… at least… ah-ha…” Su Yun’s rationality shattered instantly, even her words dissolving into fragmented, sobbing breaths.
It’s unbearable… Not comfortable at all!
Even breathing was difficult.
So, the things in the movies were all lies…*
Seeing Su Yun’s reaction, a satisfied smile appeared on Mo Qingqing’s face.
She nodded lightly, then set up a small anti-slip barrier.
Finally, she carefully locked the bathroom door and cast a soundproofing spell, ensuring not a sound from inside would escape.
“This is just a little punishment for lying to me～ All right, hmm… maybe I’ll go stroll through the main city?”
Mo Qingqing hummed a cheery little tune, like a farmer waiting for crops to ripen, utterly content as she left the room.
She quickly contacted Su Qiuyue, Liu Heng, and Qian Wan’er, summoning them to prepare for a trip to Bright Main City together.
“Let’s call them all over～”
Thinking about how she’d soon leave this continent, and could no longer sneak into Bright Main City under a false identity, Mo Qingqing decided to seize the chance to shop properly and replenish her wardrobe and rare materials.
“Oh, right, when I come back, I should buy a big cat bed…”
“No, it’s better to just let her eat at the table. If someone accidentally saw her one day, it would be hard to explain…”
Lost in these thoughts, she stepped briskly into the teleportation gate.
