"Are you done whispering? If you are, then, please do this old demon a favor by extending your butts for a blessing" said their uncle.

"Ah! Uncle, we're holy children. You see, we saw a demonic beast inside the house and tried to catch it. This beast was too cunning and went straight for the festival. What could we do? We need to be heroes. So we dutifully chased the beast and with our god-given superpowers we were able to kill the beast."Mu Chen lied. This was the story he managed to cook up.

"Good! Good!" their uncle praised with a sarcastic tone and applauded them.

"You two have done a great deed for the village. Come, come! Let me bestow my blessing on you two before i die" said Mu Feng with a smile on his lips.

Mu Ling Yue shivered upon seeing that smile.

"Uncle, i'm pregnant. You can't hit me"Mu Ling Yue said out of the blue.

Both turned to look at her. Mu Chen wanted to facepalm.

'Jiejie, you put me in this situation, can you not make it worse?'Mu Chen thought.

This elder sister might become the end of him.

"Pregnant? That's good! So tell me, who's the father?" their uncle asked.

"It...it's Mu...Mu Chen"Mu Ling Yue blurted out. When she realized what she had said she immediately covered her mouth in shock.

Mu Chen was also shocked.

His elder sister framed him as the father of a child that never even existed? What sort of nonsense was this?

She can't cook up a good story.

That's bad. Now she's framing him, that's worse.

"MuChen, you put your JieJie int the family way. Are you not ashamed? This is a taboo. Incest!"Mu Feng spat out angrily.

Mu Chen almost rolled his eyes.

'Uncle, can you not be so serious. You know that Jiejie is lying just like me. Just beat us if you wanna beat us,' Mu Chen thought.

"Bring your butts and let this old man smack them.Who's going first?"Mu Feng asked.

"Brother, you go first. Be a hero. Just as you killed that demonic beast that never existed, also take my share of beatings too just this once and I'll be grateful to you for a lifetime"Mu Ling Yue begged Mu Chen with puppy eyes."Please?"

"Okay! I accept. But on one condition" said Mu Chen.

"State it. As long as it is within my power, i will go through fire and ice to fulfill it," said Mu Ling Yue with eager eyes.

She'd do anything to escape the wrath of her uncle and his rod tonight.

"Okay. For 3 months, you will go hunting in the forest with me" said Mu Chen.

The moment Mu Ling Yue heard his conditions, she refused and walked to her uncle.

"Uncle, i am ready. I hope i survive" she said as she knelt down and placed her hands on the ground.

She then slowly prostrated before her uncle and closed her eyes.

"Since you came first, i won't be harsh on you. But if you disobey me again, you won't be able to walk for 3 months" said MuFeng before taking out a whip made from two ropes.

He then began to lash at her butt many times and she clenched her fists and teeth.

In less than two minutes, she pretended to have collapsed but their uncle gave her seven more lashed before kicking her away.

He turned to look at Mu Chen who was smiling.

"Your beatings are double"Mu Feng spat before walking over to the spot he had tossed Mu Ling Yue to.
