Chapter 151 - A Hundred Whippings
The black haired man looked at Feng Huang. As she was bowing down, he had to gaze downward. With the way that he was dressed in new clothes, which also looked quite royal, it was as if he was a king, and that Feng Huang was his servant.
"I was informed that you would be coming next month. What has hastened your arrival? I hope that you were not... stopped in anyway on your way.", she said as she hesitated in the last moment.
"I see that the magical forest is intervening. Well, this pathetic bunch can certainly not help in this fight. Maybe they will take care of a few of the demon spawn, but they are nothing more than cannon fodder. This war is hopeless if this is the state of the army..", he glanced at the students who were glaring at them furiously. If looks could kill, then he would definitely be dead right now.
"What is the contractor of Pyrus even thinking? I thought that Pyrus would have some taste. If he turns out to be even remotely like this pathetic crowd, then I will not bend my head in any way. I am sure that you would understand what I am saying. You are an honourable phoenix. The fire around me almost wants to jump towards you. It is taking quite the effort keeping my mana within me. For such a person to stay in this place truly confuses me.", he shook his head.
"There is much to the Lord of Dilheim than meets the eye, Your Majesty. He has found a way to make even these useless people able to deal with demon soldiers.", Feng Huang said.
"Well, let us hope that he is as good as everyone says. I came all the way here, right next to that old tiger's hideout. If this turns out to be a disappointment, then I am definitely going to need to vent somewhere.", he said.
"Do not worry. Liu Feng has surprised me in many ways. I am sure that you will not find him to be disappointing. As for his company though, I am afraid that I cannot stay true to the same promises.", she shook her head.
"Interesting. Now, where are my accommodations? These people are very irritating. I don't want to see them any longer. Oh, and by the way, make sure that the three that you see at the centre of the pool, near the demolished barrier, get a hundred whippings each. They have disrespected me."
"Yes, Your Majesty. It will be done. I will call for the soldiers to take them and whip them immediately.", Feng Huang nodded.
"Careful in your formalities. If the tiger sees you so submissive towards me, then things will not bode well to you.", the black haired man laughed.
"Do not worry, Your Majesty. The feud of the dragons is only with the king of the magic forest. None else. The other three who stay within the magical forest only respect the king, nothing more. He is more powerful than us, I agree, but that is all. We kneel to no one.", Feng Huang said.
"Good. Well said. A blow to the senile idiot that is well deserved. I will go meet the kings and speak with them. I must see what the situation is.", the man said.
As he said this, the man rose in the air and left the bath house. Feng Luang looked at the three students at the centre of the pool, who looked confused and a little skeptical about what had happened. When they saw the man fly without chanting anything, they felt truly powerless, and they saw Feng Luang come towards them.
"What are you doing? Are you going to listen to that man? Punishing us will only create problems for you. Our fathers are very powerful and they can cause a dissent to happen. You would not want that to happen right? All for one man."
Feng Luang chuckled. "That one man is more important than the three kings of the mortal realm, boy. He is one of only two that I bowed down to. Do you really think that your stupid noble tag will deter me? I should really speak to Liu Feng about this. For now, just accept any punishment that you face, or you will be faced with desertment charges."
She left the bath house through the normal entrance, and shortly after a few hundred soldiers entered the bath. They saw the naked men and the half naked women and their noses shot out blood. Disregarding this, they went and took the three students to the centre.
"At Least let me wear clothes you brute! What do you think you are doing to a woman?", the girl screamed as the soldiers dragged her, Oscar and Oliver outside. They took her to the detention areas and they started tying them up the hands and legs to chains to start the punishments.
"What the hell are you doing, soldiers? Do you know who the parents of the three are? Who gave this order?", an officer near them asked them, clearly because he recognized them.
"Reporting Sir, the lady who was given full authority by the three kings had given this order. She said that we have to whip these students a hundred whipping each. We have received orders that we should treat her words as the words of the king, so we cannot disobey."
As he said that, the punishment started. The two boys and the girl were now completely naked and were getting whipped a hundred times each. They screamed and howled in pain, and cried with humiliation. Even now, they did not back down from their high horse.
"My father will make sure that all of you will get hanged after being tortured in the worst possible way. You have seen me like this, so all of you will definitely die.", the girl shouted, her throat horse as the time went by.
