"Aunt... don't hit Xuexue anymore, Xuexue won't dare next time! Boo hoo... please don't... boo hoo... Xuexue really won't dare next time..."
Upon hearing Xuexue's pleading cries, Su Tian paled with fright, rushed inside, followed closely by Ji Ruyan.
In the grand hall, a fiery red whip danced in the air, continuously lashing Xuexue's body.
Xuexue's body already bore many whip marks, each strike drawing thin traces of blood...
"Father, please don't punish Xuexue anymore, it's all my fault! If I had taken better care of Xuexue, she wouldn't have killed your Dragon Fish. Please forgive Xuexue."
Seeing Xuexue being punished so severely by his mother, Su Tian felt his heart ache unbearably, and fell to his knees on behalf of Xuexue, pleading.
After quite some time, Emperor Su spoke, "Empress, stop the punishment."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Empress withdrew her Fire Whip, leaving Xuexue barely conscious on the ground.
