Chapter 626: Chapter 626: The Space Detoxification Horror Upgrade (3)_1

Facing her father’s distrustful gaze, she silently shed two thick tears inside. Okay, those reasons were indeed true, but they weren’t the root cause. Just to save her own knees from punishment and to prevent the person she liked from leaving a bad impression in her father’s mind, she had no choice but to tell half-truths.

Mo Qingze, contemplating how to give his daughter a light punishment as a stern lesson, had no idea about the little schemes going on in her mind; otherwise, he certainly wouldn’t have gone easy on her and would have chosen a severe punishment instead.

At that moment, seeing Mo Yan looking pitiful, Mo Qingze, who always doted on his children, had already softened a great deal in his heart and definitely couldn’t bring himself to punish her harshly. He could only reluctantly put on a stern father’s facade and said seriously, "This time, Father will forgive you. But if there’s a next time, don’t blame your father for not considering your dignity as a girl and applying family discipline!"

Yes, it was family discipline, a method devised by Mo Qingze to discipline his increasingly unruly son, made from two thin bamboo boards specially used for spanking!

Mo Yan’s vision darkened, and all she could think about were the crisp snapping sounds of the bamboo board meeting Zhenzhen’s buttocks every time he was punished, and she felt her own backside start to hurt. She suddenly decided to keep the real reason a secret, at least until Xiao Ruiyuan became her father’s son-in-law; she definitely wouldn’t reveal it.

Mo Qingze seemed very satisfied with the terrifying effect his words had on his daughter, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "This time, since you’ve indeed done wrong, Father not punishing you would be harming you. You’ll kneel properly before our ancestors until you’ve knelt for four hours!"

With that, he left in a hurry without looking at his daughter, whose brows were nearly furrowed into a knot, concealing the smile at the corner of his lips. He decided to let his youngest daughter Xin Er bring a soft cushion over, lest he hurt his eldest daughter’s knees!

With one less person in the room, it became extremely quiet. Mo Yan looked at the ancestral tablets on the altar and couldn’t help but shake her head and chuckle, but she still knelt down with straight posture.

She really should learn her lesson, not to undertake risky things just because she had the Space as a golden finger; after all, the God of Luck wouldn’t always be on her side!

She valued her own life very much, and even more so, she cherished the family that stood behind her. No matter what, she couldn’t let them worry anymore!

Not long after, Xin Er indeed came sneaking in with a rabbit fur cushion and a soft pillow. Seeing her sister kneeling upright on the ground, her knees against the cold, hard floor, her heart ached for her.

As she quickly placed the pillow and cushion beneath her sister’s knees, her eyes turned red with complaint, "Father is too harsh. Even if sister did something wrong, she shouldn’t be punished so severely. After kneeling for four hours, her legs will probably hurt for days and she won’t be able to walk. Plus, you haven’t slept all night; how can your body take it? No, I have to beg father for mercy so that sister can rest in her room!"

Mo Yan patted her little hand gently and rebuked, "Sister did do something wrong, and it’s right for father to punish her! Besides, didn’t father send you with the cushion? He must care for sister in his heart, so you shouldn’t argue with father on sister’s behalf!"

Xin Er pouted and said, "It wasn’t father who sent me, he just mentioned that you were here to reflect on your mistakes and warned me not to come and disturb you. I came here secretly because I was afraid that if father found out, he would even take away the cushion and pillow."

Mo Yan poked her puffed-up cheeks in resignation and said, "Father could very well not mention that sister is kneeling here as punishment. Since he specifically told you about it, he was hinting for you to bring over a cushion. If you didn’t understand that, it wouldn’t be long before father might bring it himself."

Xin Er clapped her hands in sudden understanding and said, "I knew father adores you and wouldn’t really let you kneel on the ground for two hours. So that’s how it is. Well, then I’m relieved. I’ll bring out a blanket later, so you should take a nap!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan quickly refused, "Sister is being punished; how can she sleep in front of the ancestors? That would be disrespectful! You really shouldn’t bring a blanket over; if father finds out, he might really get angry!"

"Well... okay then," Xin Er conceded, looking at the ancestral tablets; though she felt sorry for her sister, she dared not bring over a blanket.

Xin Er worried that her sister might be bored, wanting to stay and chat, but also concerned that if their father found out, he might think her sister was insincere and increase her punishment. She was conflicted.

Seeing this, Mo Yan smiled and persuaded her, "If sister gets bored, she can still sneak in a little nap to rest, but with you here, how could sister sleep?"

Seeing the tired look on her sister’s face, Xin Er quickly said, "I’ll go out right now and close the door behind me. If you can’t hold on, you should take a nap. The ancestors are generous; they won’t blame you!"

Mo Yan chuckled and patted her sister’s head, agreeing to her suggestion.

After Xin Er left, looking back every three steps, Mo Yan, touching the Ancient Jade Mark on her palm, intended to take something to eat out of the Space but discovered she couldn’t take anything out, nor could she enter it!

If it weren’t for the Ancient Jade Mark in her palm and the connection with the Space in her mind that hadn’t been severed, she might have thought the Space had left her. The fact that she couldn’t enter the Space meant only one thing: the Space was upgrading...

But before, the red patterns on the Merit Pearl had only covered more than half, and even though she had saved dozens of people yesterday, it wasn’t nearly enough for the fourth upgrade. Could it be that among the people she saved yesterday, there was one like Xiao Ruiyuan whose inherent merit was hundreds of times greater, or even more, than others?

Last night, when she entered the Space to get the Thousand-year Ginseng and Black Lingzhi, everything in the Space was normal. If saving such a person had indeed triggered the Space to upgrade suddenly, then that person could only be the one besides Crown Prince Chu Heng!
