Disciplining Nyx

Back in the Car.

As they drove away from the café, Ye Feng had both hands on the steering wheel, his expression blank.

Nyx, hugging her plush panda, peeked at him.

"…Master?"

Ye Feng didn't answer. He just stared ahead.

Nyx giggled. "That was fun, huh?"

Ye Feng gripped the wheel tighter.

She smiled. "Master, do you think I should start calling you 'Daddy' from now on?"

Ye Feng slammed the brakes.

Nyx burst into laughter.

Ye Feng took a deep breath, staring into the distance. "I should have left you in the sword."

Nyx smirked. "Too late, Daddy~"

Ye Feng revved the engine aggressively, preparing to drive as far away from this place as possible.

As they arrived back at the house, Ye Feng collapsed onto the sofa, exhaling deeply. His head rested against the backrest, eyes half-lidded as he processed the absolute disaster that had unfolded at the café.

Meanwhile, Nyx stood a safe two-arm's distance away, her big, innocent black eyes darting around the room as if she were seeing it for the first time.

She even nodded to herself, mumbling, "Hmm… nice place. Cozy."

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes. This brat was so dramatic.

A devious glint flickered in his eyes as he suddenly grinned widely.

"Nyx, come here." His voice was unnaturally sweet.

"Huh?" Nyx froze mid-step, her body stiffening like a cornered rabbit.

Her gaze snapped toward him, and the moment she saw that suspiciously kind smile, her instincts screamed danger.

"W-Why?" she asked hesitantly, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her dress.

Ye Feng's grin widened. "Oh, nothing much… I just want to spoil my cute daughter."

A chill ran down Nyx's spine.

Her eyes darted toward the exit. The urge to flee was overwhelming.

"B-But Master…" she stammered. "I-I'm really tired from all the running around today! I should rest! Y-Yeah, I should rest!"

She took a small step back.

Ye Feng's fingers cracked ominously. "Oh? Rest, you say?"

Nyx gulped.

"Y-Yes!" she quickly nodded, her little hands clasped together like a pitiful maiden pleading for mercy. "I-It's been a long day, and my spiritual energy is drained! I think it's best if I go back inside the sword and… uh… meditate!"

Her eyes sparkled with fake innocence as she pointed at his sword tattoo.

"See? It's calling me! My cozy little home! I should—"

Before she could even think of running, Ye Feng lunged forward.

"YOU BRAT, GET OVER HERE!"

"KYAAA—!!"

With lightning speed, Ye Feng snatched the tiny troublemaker and plopped back onto the sofa, flipping her over his lap in one swift motion.

Nyx struggled fiercely, her tiny legs kicking helplessly in the air, her hands clawing at the cushions.

"W-WAIT! MASTER, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS—"

SMACK!

A crisp slap landed right on her soft little bottom.

"HIIII—!!!" Nyx let out a squeaky yelp, her entire body twitching from the impact.

Ye Feng grinned evilly. "Oh? What happened to all that confidence earlier?"

SMACK!

"AHH! You—you bully!" Nyx's tiny fists pounded weakly on his leg.

Ye Feng chuckled, holding her firmly. "Bully? Says the one who just ruined my reputation"

SMACK!

Nyx squirmed, her cheeks—both pairs—turning bright red.

"T-That was just a joke! Haha! A harmless joke! Y-you know, for comedy purposes!"

SMACK!

"Owww! M-Master! Have mercy!" she cried, her big, black eyes glistening with unshed tears.

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. "Mercy? you made me look like a pervert in front of all those people?"

SMACK!

"I WAS WRONG! I WAS WRONG!!!" Nyx screamed, her tiny body twitching.

SMACK!

"Master! You—you bully! You can't treat a delicate girl like this!" she protested, pounding her tiny fists weakly against his leg.

Ye Feng rolled his eyes. "Oh? Delicate?"

SMACK!

"AHH! Okay, I'm sorry! I won't cause trouble again! I swear!" she cried out

 "Hmm… I don't know… Maybe I should keep going until you learn your lesson."Ye Feng,till this point has started to enjoy this smacking season.

SMACK!

Nyx wriggled furiously. "NYX HAS LEARNED HER LESSON!"

Ye Feng grinned. "I don't believe you. Say it."

Nyx blinked rapidly, confused. "S-Say what?"

Ye Feng's grin turned wicked. "You know what."

Nyx's eyes widened in horror. "N-No way! I refuse!"

SMACK!

"AAAH! Okay, okay, okay! J-Just stop hitting me!"

Ye Feng smirked. "Say it~."

Nyx bit her lip, her whole body trembling.

"…D-D…"

SMACK!

"DADDY!!!" she finally screamed.

SMACK!

"Complete the sentence"

NYX was on the brink of tears "DADDY please forgive this pitiful daughter of yours, i will not do it again"

Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Good girl." He patted her head, as if rewarding her.

Nyx pouted hard, her face completely red from a mix of embarrassment and frustration.

"Uuuu… M-Master, you're so mean…!" she whined, rubbing her sore bottom.

Ye Feng chuckled, finally releasing her.

"Next time you pull a stunt like that, I'll make you are unable to sit down for 5 days"

Nyx glared at him, her puffed-up cheeks trembling with anger.

"Don't mess with me next time."

Nyx rubbed her forehead pitifully before hopping off his lap, glaring at him with her puffed-up cheeks.

"Hmph! I'm calling the child protection services on you!" she declared.

Ye Feng laughed, stretching lazily. "Go ahead. Tell them how a sword spirit got spanked for being naughty."

Nyx opened her mouth to argue… but then realized she had no counter.

She jumped off his lap, then turned into a beam of light directly going inside the tattoo clearly showing her dissatisfaction

Ye Feng leaned back on the sofa, smirking.

His phone vibrated inside the pocket he took it out and there was a message notification from Hei Long.

Ye Feng opened the message .

"boss , we got him"

"we are currently at this location "

Below it was the location was given.

Ye Feng looked at the address and then stood up walking out.The night had already descended, the street lights were litup. He put the address in car's GPS and then started driving towards the destination.
