Punishment of Paradise

Ming Xianwan hesitated for a moment and said, "Since this Origin Crystal can make people stronger, you should use it yourself."

"I have a lot here. Take these six."

With that, Ling Yichen grabbed Ming Xianwan's hand and stuffed the Origin Crystals into it.

He really did not lack Origin Crystals, especially when he produced the combat-type insects in the future.

Everyone needed time to cultivate. It wasn't as if they could absorb all the Origin Energy in all the Origin Crystals they had.

Ming Xianwan was very touched. She was a sentimental person, so she accepted the Origin Crystals and asked, "Yichen, is there anything else?"

Only then did Ling Yichen explain his purpose for coming. "Oh, I subdued a succubus who claimed to be from another world. She's still a child. I want to get a set of smaller clothes from Yangyang for her."

Then, Ling Yichen added, "The alternate world is not our world. Now, our world has developed some kind of connection with other worlds and is already tightly connected with those worlds. This should be the reason why so many monsters have appeared now."

"An alternate world? Will there be a problem?" Ming Xianwan was worried.

"No. Once she betrays us, her soul will be destroyed first." Ling Yichen shook his head.

"Alright, then. How tall is she? What's her size? I'll see if there are any more suitable ones." Ming Xianwan remembered that Gu Yangyang's clothes were still in the closet, but she hadn't had a chance to sell them.

"Hmm, should I bring her over?" Ling Yichen tried to ask. He did not know how to describe it.

"Sure." Ming Xianwan nodded.

Ling Yichen pondered for a moment and finally decided to add, "Well, I just hope that you won't be afraid when the time comes. There are some parts of her that are different from us humans, but she's not a threat. She probably doesn't even know how to wear our clothes on Earth."

Ming Xianwan became more and more curious until Ling Yichen carried Ling Mengmeng to Ming Xianwan. Ming Xianwan was so frightened that she gasped and even took two steps back.

Ling Yichen was not surprised. After all, it was normal to have such a reaction when one saw a non-human humanoid creature.

"Sister Ming, don't be afraid. I'll accompany you like this so that you guys won't be afraid."

Ming Xianwan wanted to say that she was not afraid, but this was the first time she had seen such a "monster". Even though it was quite cute, she was still a little afraid. She could only nod and take the initiative to walk into the room to get a pair of slippers for Ling Yichen.

Ling Yichen changed into the slippers. At this moment, Gu Yangyang ran out. She was wearing loose pajamas and her hair was wet. She had clearly just taken a shower.

If she didn't take a shower now, the water would stop soon.

"Brother Chen! You're fine… Who's that in your arms?" Gu Yangyang stared at Ling Mengmeng with hostility.

When Gu Yangyang heard that Ling Yichen and Ling Zixing had gone out, she was worried for a long time. In the end, he returned with a little loli in cosplay.

Could it be that Brother Chen liked this type?

Should she cosplay too?

When Gu Yangyang saw Ling Mengmeng, she thought that she was a little loli who liked to cosplay, so she immediately treated her as her love rival.

Yes, Gu Yangyang liked Ling Yichen. Otherwise, why would she stick to Ling Yichen since he was young?

Then, Ling Yichen put Ling Mengmeng down and smiled. "Yangyang, can you help me find her a set of clothes? A full set."

"Hmph!"

Gu Yangyang pouted and stared at Ling Yichen. This feeling was as if she liked him, but he was asking her to help raise his mistress. She even had to wash the mistress clean and dress her up beautifully to meet him in private.

Ah! Brother Chen was too much!

Just as Gu Yangyang was about to shout, "No!", Ling Yichen patted Gu Yangyang's head, wiping away all the anger in her stomach.

"Yangyang, be good. Give her some clothes to change into."

"Okay." Gu Yangyang returned to her obedient self.

At the same time, Gu Yangyang cursed herself for being so disappointing. Why did she look so much like a bootlicker?

Then, the little bootlicker, Gu Yangyang, pulled Ling Mengmeng to the bathroom. "You're dirty. Take a shower first."

When Ling Mengmeng came out of the spatial rift, she had said that she had been wandering, so it was normal for her to be dirty.

Ling Yichen wanted to remind Gu Yangyang that she wasn't human, but Ming Xianwan spoke up.

"Don't worry, I'll go wash her up."

With that, Ming Xianwan walked towards the bathroom.

At that moment, Ling Yichen suddenly sensed that Li Jia'an, who he had imprisoned in the Insect Nest Demiplane, had finally woken up.

He was so busy that he almost forgot about this guy. If he woke up, he could start his torture.

It's just that he was an extremely magnanimous person. He would make it easier for Li Jia'an first. After all, Ling Yichen wasn't a demon.

He would give him a punishment that was known as the "Punishment of Paradise" in the apocalypse.

With a thought from Ling Yichen, the space around Li Jia'an suddenly froze, making him unable to move.

Soon, a group of Worker Bees that were converting the organic matter in their bodies suddenly flew over. Their forelimbs were each holding a feather, which belonged to the mutated bird from before.

Then, there was the enjoyable foot massage, armpit massage, and other feather massages that could easily cause the human body to itch.

This action was accompanied by Li Jia'an's explosive laughter and begging for mercy.

Historically, the laughing punishment was not only limited to ancient China. There was also a similar punishment in ancient Rome. The ancient Roman version was to soak a person's feet in a solution of salt and let a sheep lick his feet. It did not only affect the soles of the feet, but also the armpits, neck, torso, knees, abdomen, ribs, and navel.

Legend had it that many celebrities died from laughter. Itching as a form of physical abuse could trigger strong physiological reactions, including vomiting and the loss of consciousness.

Ling Yichen skillfully asked the Worker Bees to take off the socks on Li Jia'an's feet. At the same time, he asked the Worker Bees to stuff the socks into Li Jia'an's mouth. As a result, he could only make muffled sounds.

Meanwhile, Li Jia'an felt that it was too difficult for him. What was this place? Why couldn't he move? Could it be that a supernatural event had happened?

He would let Li Jia'an laugh for half an hour first. If Li Jia'an really continued to laugh, he might suffocate to death.

The reason why Ling Yichen gagged him was to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide. If he really couldn't take it anymore and chose to cut himself off, wouldn't he be profiting?

Sometimes, painful punishments were easier to accept than "happy" punishments, right?

Ling Yichen thought about it and decided to let Li Jia'an know who was behind all of this. Hence, Ling Yichen's voice rang out in the Insect Nest Demiplane.

"Li Jia'an, I've said it before. Congratulations. You've earned yourself a chance to live. I won't kill you. Enjoy your eternal happiness in my world!

"Please take care of me for the rest of your life!"
