I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 246 - Miyako’s Compromise



Chapter 246: Miyako’s Compromise

The sound was clear and its lingering echoes could be heard in the house.

Miyako was initially stunned with a look of disbelief on her face, unable to process the fact that she was being punished.

She was being disciplined just like how a parent would do to a kid?!

She squirmed her body around, struggling to get free. “You b*stard! Scumbag! How dare you hit me!? Just you wait, I’ll kill you!”

Ye Lingchen stared at Miyako, his heart calm as ever. Miyako was the disciple of the Sun Nation’s Gambling King. Who knew how much hard-earned money by the Chinese people was taken by him. Furthermore, he was not on friendly terms with China, all the more reason for him to not feel a shred of guilt.

“It seems you have yet to understand your situation.”

Ye Lingchen raised the feather duster, once again hitting it on Miyako’s palm!

Smack!

Miyako’s body trembled, feeling the numbness that took over her entire hand.

A numbing sensation ran through her body like an electric current, bringing out fear and anger within her. Her face turned red and her legs were kicking, trying to get at Ye Lingchen.

“You’re dead. I will never forget this!” Miyako’s voice started to shake.

“Will you put on the maid uniform?” Ye Lingchen’s soft voice drifted by Miyako’s ear, intensifying her embarrassment.

“In your dreams!”

Miyako steeled her face and rebutted stubbornly.

Just as she finished those words, she felt another heavy hit on her palm. The burning sensation pained her greatly, further fueling the rage within her.

“Are you still the big shot? Do you still dare to strangle me? You’re now in China and you’re my maid, not the disciple of your Gambling King.”

Smack, smack, smack!

Ye Lingchen struck out at lightning speed, as though he was addicted to punishing her. Wave after wave, Miyako’s palm burned, turning bright red.

He wanted to discipline that arrogant woman and have her realize her situation so that she would cease her illusions of grandeur.

Miyako groaned in pain as Ye Lingchen seemed to be gaining momentum. The numbness took over her body as her strength left her. However, he exerted masterful control over his strength, causing her pain while avoiding hurting her body.

Miyako’s face turned scarlet. Her body was trembling and her eyes filled with humiliation. Since young, she was always respected wherever she went. The people around her did not dare to even look at her funny. Never did she expect herself to suffer such humiliation at Ye Lingchen’s hands, bringing her close to her snapping point. She roared, “I’ll take you down with all I have!”

She turned around to bite at Ye Lingchen. Fortunately, his quick reactions allowed him to hold her down.

He was not afraid of Miyako’s bite. After learning Eight Extremities Brute Training, his body grew stronger every day. He was worried that his muscles would very likely shatter Miyako’s teeth.

Smack, smack, smack!

Ye Lingchen was furious and continued the smacking. It was only when Miyako started to whimper and sob that he finally stopped.

At first, Ye Lingchen thought that he might have been imagining things and stopped his hands. After listening in, that girl really did break down in tears.

‘OMG!’

‘I’ve punished such a strong woman to tears.’

Ye Lingchen was a little shocked. Seeing that Miyako was no longer resisting, he was caught slightly off guard.

However he knew at such critical times, he must let Miyako recognize his strength. He scolded, “Are you wearing it or not?”

Miyako sniffled but gave no reply.

Seeing that Ye Lingchen’s hands were getting ready for more, she finally swallowed the lump in her throat and spoke up, “Fine, I’ll wear it. What’s the big deal.”

Ye Lingchen finally retracted his hand and passed the maid uniform to Miyako. Seeing her covered in tears, he felt no pity for her, stating coldly, “Remember, a bet is a bet. From now on you’re my maid. You better clear those silly thoughts out of your head!”

Miyako shot a glare at Ye Lingchen. Within her eyes, a hint of fear could be seen. She finally gave in and changed into the maid uniform.

At first, she thought that Ye Lingchen was only good at gambling, she never expected him to know martial arts as well, making him her nemesis.

Soon enough, Miyako walked out in the maid outfit. It was a plain light blue outfit with a pair of sexy bunny ears on the top of her head. In just an instant, her aura was drastically different.

Transforming from an arrogant lady to a pretty little girl. However, she had a gloomy expression on her face. She was fidgety and walked awkwardly. Meanwhile, her hands were still burning.

“Now that’s more like it.” Ye Lingchen nodded in satisfaction. “Now go clean the house. I’ll be checking on you later. If you don’t meet the requirements, I’ll…”

He swung the feather duster in front of Miyako again threateningly.

Miyako’s teeth chattered, but she dared not voice her anger.

Ye Lingchen then went upstairs. Disciplining Miyako was just out of convenience, to add a little bit of flavor to his life.

With Celestial Bane going on the right track, its results ensured it stayed at the top, securing first place in the monthly rankings. At the same time, the entire Yuewen site was pushing this xianxia genre’s title with all its might.

Most importantly, as the plot develops, Celestial Bane’s true colors would be further displayed, fully presenting the world of xianxia and the personality of each character to the readers.

It could be said that the earlier chapters were just setting up the stage. Now that they reached the middle of the story, it was finally the time to take in the world.

As Ye Lingchen logged onto the author’s corner, he did not expect it to be inundated with comments, mostly urging for more releases. From the top to the bottom, 70 percent of them were begging for a mass release. Apart from that, there were also scathing comments that were automatically ignored by Ye Lingchen, too lazy to even delete them.

However, some comments caught Ye Lingchen’s attention.

“I am Y, your Celestial Bane is being targeted. Someone called you out!”

“Where’s the author? Please retaliate!”

“Celestial Bane is being mocked!”

Some comments even had a link attached.

Ye Lingchen raised his brows, then clicked into the link.

What appeared was a huge banner. It was news from the day before. That was when Celestial Bane was published with explosive results, naturally turning it into a target for the website to advertise strongly.

Yogurt had also told Ye Lingchen that he would prepare an article just for Celestial Bane.

The title was: [Being inducted with a single novel is no longer a myth. A new author with a new novel. Celestial Bane surpassed all myths, a million sales in a day!]

Following that, it first introduced Celestial Bane’s background, Mostly it was to advertise Celestial Bane’s results right after publication and listed the statistics for all.

First place in monthly rankings right after publication!

Obtaining the support of a hundred Silver Lords, gaining millions of RMB with just gifts!

Surpassing a million subscriptions on the first day of publications, sales surpassing a hundred thousand RMB!

Any of the statistics given were sufficient to stun the crowd. Even if someone had no clue of the rankings, just by looking at the RMB value would give them a similar shock. That was just the same as being flooded with cash!

Apart from the statistics, this article had even listed the poem Ye Lingchen wrote before publication, hoping to boost the image of online literature in the hearts of the readers.
