Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Punishment

"Read through it, and if you’re not familiar, read it several times until you are." Dragon Lord Ao Ye sternly told Xia Yue.

"Really? Is this even possible?" Dismayed, Xia Yue looked at him. She had never been pressured like this when studying a foreign language in the past.

Seeing her unwilling expression, Dragon Lord Ao Ye flicked his sleeve towards her. While Xia Yue was still in a daze, the next second she felt herself soaring into the air and then spinning rapidly.

"Are you going to study or not?" Dragon Lord Ao Ye’s words echoed in Xia Yue’s mind.

Xia Yue was spun around until everything was a blur and she felt sick to her stomach. She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to puke, but she couldn’t.

Hearing Dragon Lord Ao Ye’s words, she immediately realized that this was his way of punishing her. Instantly in her mind, she shouted: "Study, study, study, I will study! Please, let me down!"

Only when he heard her agreeable response did Dragon Lord Ao Ye withdraw his power.

With the power gone, Xia Yue fell straight from mid-air, landing on the ground in pain, gritting her teeth and grimacing.

"Sit properly, continue reading until you’re fluent, and write them down until you’re familiar." Dragon Lord Ao Ye instructed her.

Xia Yue covered her chest, retched a few times, and immediately sat up at his words, looking at the calligraphy brush and white paper on the table.

"I can’t write with a brush, can I switch to a different pen?" Xia Yue asked Dragon Lord Ao Ye.

"What a hassle." Dragon Lord Ao Ye said, yet he still replaced her calligraphy brush with a modern signature pen.

Xia Yue took the pen and read, handwriting the characters from the book as she studied.

After a grueling four hours, she finally managed to master and memorize twenty characters and write them down. Dragon Lord Ao Ye, seeming somewhat satisfied, let her leave.

Opening her eyes to the real world and her familiar surroundings, she felt a surge of hot tears well up in her eyes, as if she had been reborn after a catastrophe.

Then, thinking of the perpetrator of her torment, she gritted her teeth, quickly got dressed, and went out to find the system.

She searched the whole yard but couldn’t find either the system or the Spiritual Cat, so she ventured further out on her search.

During her search, she asked the people she encountered if they had seen them.

It was only after asking several people that she learned the system and the Spiritual Cat had run off to the plantation. Xia Yue immediately rushed there, picking up a handy stick along the way.

"Number 5129, I’ll beat you to death." Upon arriving at the Strawberry Field part of the plantation and seeing the system leisurely eating strawberries, Xia Yue immediately charged at it.

The system heard Xia Yue’s roar and knew it was in trouble. Spotting her swinging the stick at it, it promptly fled.

"Host, calm down." It shouted at Xia Yue while it ran.

"Calm down my ass! Do you have any idea what I’ve been through this afternoon? And you’re just chilling and eating strawberries. I’m going to give you a good beating, otherwise my suffering this afternoon would be in vain!" Xia Yue yelled back.

The people at the plantation, seeing how angry Xia Yue was, wondered what exactly the cat had done to her.

They had been here for several months and had never seen Xia Yue angry before. She was always cheerful, polite, and amiable to everyone she met.

Her current demeanor was quite frightening.

"I did it for your own good! Do you have any idea how much I’ve sacrificed for you? A lesson like that usually costs a thousand Cosmic Coins, but I got it for you for free. You should be thanking me!" the system yelled back while on the run.

"Thanking you? More like killing you!" Just the thought of how Dragon Lord Ao Ye had scolded her made Xia Yue even angrier.
