Chapter 1281: 39. Lesson

About two hours earlier.

Hamreign had just left.

Inside the spacious and comfortable carriage, Muen finally displayed his true manly nature. He pressed the wicked little devil of an upperclassman across his thighs, lifted her skirt, and fiercely slapped her butt.

Smack.

“Bad upperclassman. Are you going to do it again?” Muen asked fiercely as his palm came down.

“Mm......I-I won’t.” Anna tilted her little head upward, a sweet moan slipping from her rosy lips. “Have mercy, junior......”

In an instant, the entire carriage seemed to become coated in an ambiguous layer of pink.

But Muen’s heart was as hard as steel.

Smack.

Another slap.

“Are you going to do bad things again?” Muen asked.

“Mm-ah......I won’t......I won’t do it anymore......” Anna shook her head from side to side. Each time Muen’s palm descended, her delicate body trembled slightly.

Smack.

Another slap.

“Are you going to cause trouble again?”

At this moment, Muen looked incomparably imposing, each slap stronger than the last..

“Ha......hah......I won’t......I’ll behave......” Anna let out a coquettish, adorable voice. Her long legs wrapped in black stockings swayed gently along with Muen’s movements, occasionally brushing against him as she begged for mercy as softly as a kitten.

Smack......

Muen raised his hand, preparing to continue.

Anna’s delicate body immediately tensed as well, as though resisting, yet also as though anticipating it.

But this time, his hand remained suspended for a long while without ever coming down.

He couldn’t slap anymore.

Muen looked at the upperclassman obediently accepting her punishment, and a trace of doubt surfaced in his heart.

Did this really count as punishment?

Why did it feel as though his upperclassman was not suffering very much at all, and was instead......

Enjoying herself?

“What’s wrong?”

Yet Anna even turned her head and looked back at Muen with seductive eyes. “Junior, aren’t you going to continue?”

“Damn it, you’re still provoking me. Do you think I’m playing some kind of kinky game with you?”

Unable to take it, Muen slapped her again, especially hard.

“Ah......”

The alluring moan was exceptionally provocative.

Where Muen had slapped her, the pert little bottom wrapped in black silk rippled beautifully as the force traveled through it.

Yet the result of this “punishment” seemed to accomplish absolutely nothing beyond making a certain patch of silk slightly darker.

That was normal.

After all, with Anna’s current physical strength, how could a simple spanking possibly hurt her?

But if he used battle aura......Muen could not bring himself to do it.

So in the end......they had still returned to something no different from playing around.

Anna had clearly realized that as well. Although everything coming from her little mouth consisted of soft moans and cries of surrender, those charming autumn-water eyes would deliberately tease him whenever Muen was about to stop.

“It actually looks kind of nice......”

And so Ariel, who had been somewhat timid just moments ago, eagerly moved closer:

“How about letting me try?”

“You’ve already forgotten what it felt like when your little butt got swollen?”

Being teased by his upperclassman was one thing, but even a weakling like Ariel was mocking him now.

Muen immediately sprang up. No longer caring about anything else, he placed the two little troublemakers side by side on the sofa and slapped one on the left, then one on the right......

Smack smack smack smack......

The delightful sounds continued without end, as did the captivating scenery.

It was clearly nothing more than a simple lesson, yet the temperature inside the carriage somehow rose several degrees without anyone noticing.

Their bottoms rippled continuously. Amid one soft cry after another—impossible to tell whether they came from pain or pleasure—Muen had no idea how many slaps he delivered.

Only when even he began to feel tired did he finally collapse backward onto the sofa on the other side before the atmosphere inside the carriage crossed some invisible threshold. He stared at the carriage ceiling with dead-fish eyes.

So exhausting.

Was teaching bad women a lesson really this tiring?

Being a real man......was hard!

“Oh my, now that junior has shown off his authority, you want to run away?”

Unfortunately, a certain beautiful snake had no intention of stopping there.

Taking advantage of the situation, she smoothly slipped into his arms and reached out, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“It really didn’t work?”

Muen was surprised.

A certain little weakling across from them was already rubbing her bottom with tears in her eyes, so why was his upperclassman perfectly fine?

Could it be because his upperclassman’s butt was a little bigger, so it was more resistant to being hit?

Muen refused to believe it and secretly reached over to give it a squeeze.

Instantly, he felt the delicate body in his arms tense.

“Looks like it did work after all.”

Muen grinned smugly.

These bad women really needed to be taught a lesson from time to time, or they would forget who was supposed to be on top!

“Junior has become capable now. You’ve gotten so tough too.”

Anna pretended to be angry and retaliated by gently biting Muen’s neck. Her seductive eyes rolled slightly, impossibly enticing. “You even know how to bully your upperclassman now.”

“How is this bullying? I already told you, I’m only punishing you. Who told the two of you to enjoy doing bad things so much? Is constantly provoking Miss Dragon really that entertaining?”

With a soft, fragrant beauty in his arms, and that little devil refusing to behave, Anna continued accusing Muen of bullying her while becoming even more audacious herself.

After only a few moments, Muen was forced to suck in a cold breath and rely purely on willpower to suppress his other useless little brother.

“Who provoked her? She’s the one who always acts so high and mighty. We only wanted to verify whether what she said was actually true,” Anna said with a smile.

“Exactly, exactly!”

Ariel, whose butt had already hurt once last night, had only just recovered today before getting spanked sore again. Grimacing, she chimed in:

“You’re defending her this much. Aren’t you deliberately covering for her?”

“What am I covering for?”

Muen did not know whether to laugh or cry:

“Didn’t I already tell you? Miss Dragon and I have always been completely innocent. Nothing happened between us. Even that so-called ‘wedding snatching’ before was just a misunderstanding. Why do you keep refusing to let it go?”

“So now you think we’re resentful wives?”

Anna hooked herself even more tightly around him. Her soft body twisted and shifted while her fragrance drifted rhythmically toward him, further teasing Muen’s nerves. “When junior is clearly the one who’s always fooling around outside.”

“What do you mean, fooling around......Upperclassman knows perfectly well that I’m Belrand’s number-one good man. This time I went out purely to save the world. I absolutely had no improper thoughts whatsoever!” Muen said sternly and righteously.

“Oh?”

Anna suddenly became interested.

She raised her little head and met Muen’s gaze:

“Then can junior tell me what you think?”

“What?” Muen froze.

“That dragon......stubbornly insists that her relationship with you is nothing more than companionship. What about you, junior? Do you also think the relationship between you and her is nothing more than simple companionship?”

Anna moved closer and closer, as though intending to see straight through Muen’s eyes and into the depths of his heart.

“O-of course.”

Muen said, “Since Miss Dragon herself thinks that way, how could I possibly have any other thoughts? If she believes we’re companions, then of course ours is nothing more than a pure companionship......”

“Look directly into my eyes.”

“I am looking.”

“Then why do I feel like your eyes are wandering everywhere?” Anna blinked, smiling without quite smiling. “Could it be that junior really......”

“Cough, cough. Upperclassman, don’t make wild guesses. You’ve already gone way too far testing Miss Dragon over and over. Why are you testing me now too?”

Muen gently pushed Anna a little farther away. “It’s only because Miss Dragon has such a gentle personality. If her temper were even slightly worse, playing around like this would have gotten you punished long ago.”

“But don’t we still have junior, her ‘pure eternal companion,’ to help us?”

Anna gave him a flirtatious look. “For your sake, that dragon definitely wouldn’t do anything to us.”

“If you take things too far, even I won’t be able to help you!”

Muen pretended to be angry, wrapped both hands around Anna’s slender waist, and lifted her out of his arms:

“All right, stop playing. You’ve played enough already. If you keep going, it’ll just be rude.”

“Oh my, junior really is becoming more and more heartless......Do you not love this upperclassman anymore?”

Anna immediately pretended that she had been bullied and began whining pitifully.

“How am I heartless? Aren’t I thinking about you too? World peace, everyone safe and sound—isn’t that good?”

Helpless, Muen hurriedly tried to soothe her.

But as he continued soothing her, that little devil’s hand somehow refused to behave. At some point, it slipped past his defenses and began secretly attacking his poor little brother.

The poor thing had already been horribly tormented last night, and after being teased and provoked several more times now, it quickly entered a state of complete rebellion, raging with furious blood.

“You’re still playing!”

Unable to endure it, Muen slapped the little devil’s pert bottom and gritted his teeth. “I already told you to settle down for a while.”

“I’m not playing.”

Anna cried softly in pain, then immediately raised both hands with a face full of “grievance.” “How can junior falsely accuse me like that? Boo-hoo, I’m so hurt......”

“It wasn’t you?”

Muen froze.

Then he immediately cast a sharp gaze toward the other suspect present.

But the other weakling suspect was still rubbing her little bottom and clearly would not possess any combat strength for a while.

Not his upperclassman.

Not Ariel either......

Then who was it?

Muen lowered his head in disbelief.

At that very moment, the residence of his poor little brother had somehow risen high beneath his clothes, like an inflated tent.

And inside that tent, Muen could clearly feel a soft “demonic claw” reaching in, greedily attempting to thoroughly ravage his poor little brother.

Muen immediately sucked in a cold breath.

What the hell?

Fortunately, before that particular “demonic claw” could succeed, another soft, jade-like hand descended like an envoy of justice and immediately intercepted the first.

Naturally, the first hand refused to accept defeat and immediately started wrestling with the other.

The two hands went back and forth, tangling with each other.

The one who suffered was Muen.

In such a cramped space, that poor fellow had nowhere to hide. Instead, because of the “aftershocks” from the clash between those two hands, things became increasingly unbearable.

“Wow......”

Even Anna blinked in surprise and exclaimed:

“Junior, inside your pants......there are strange things fighting!”

“What strange things? It’s two little perverts causing trouble!”

Muen instantly understood the reason behind this battle and shouted toward a certain part of the carriage:

“Come out!”

“......”

No one answered.

“If you don’t come out, then even if I have to hold it in until I die, I absolutely won’t let either of you touch it!”

Muen gritted his teeth again and made as though he was about to personally reach toward a certain location.

“......Buzz.”

Finally, after a brief silence, several ripples suddenly appeared in space.

Then a doorway opened, and two young women actually appeared directly inside the carriage.

“Tch. What a pity.”

One of them wore splendid clothing and possessed a noble, pure bearing. She flexed her five nimble fingers while puffing out her cheeks. “I was just a little bit away from succeeding!”

“Shameless hussy. I will never allow your filthy hands to touch Young Master.”

The other girl wore a maid uniform. Her bearing was dignified, yet her face remained expressionless as she spoke coldly:

“Don’t even think about it!”

“If I’d known, I wouldn’t have brought you along too, you ungrateful wolf!” The pure-looking girl glared with beautiful eyes.

“You were merely fulfilling your obligations under our previous ‘alliance.’ Attacking Young Master is an entirely separate matter!” The dignified maid naturally refused to give an inch.

“Who attacked......”

“All right. That’s enough, you two.”

Unable to keep watching, Muen interrupted them.

The two were naturally Liya and An.

As always, they began arguing the instant they appeared.

Fortunately, it was only arguing.

Compared with the past, when they would drug each other, launch sneak attacks, and stab one another in the back at the slightest opportunity, their methods toward each other had become much gentler now.

Probably thanks to that so-called “alliance”?

“So it really was you two......I didn’t expect you to find me this quickly.”

Muen could not help letting out another long sigh.

For a moment, he did not even know how to complain anymore and could only helplessly hold his forehead.

“So no matter what, can’t you use a more normal way of appearing? Who goes without seeing someone for so long, then immediately launches a sneak attack on my little comrade the moment they show up?”

Whether Muen himself had managed to dodge was one thing.

His little comrade definitely had not!
