OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 813: Caring Doesn’t Mean Indulgence!

At this moment, after the Immortal Lords finished reinforcing the Demon-locking Tower, they each dispersed.

Only an Immortal named Liu Guang, riding the clouds, quietly arrived at a hidden Taoyuan.

A black mist appeared out of thin air.

Its voice was like the low growl of a fierce beast.

"Well, has the Demon-locking Tower been opened!"

Liu Guang chuckled, "What’s the rush? The immortals have reinforced it with mana, so it won’t be that fast. However, as we expected, the body of the Heavenly Dao is gradually weakening; she probably thinks she’s hiding it well."

The black mist let out a deep mocking laugh.

"A generation’s Goddess, having a day like this, she truly deserves it! Alright then, keep a close eye on the Demon-locking Tower. Once there’s an opportunity, release the Ten Thousand Demons, and our chance will come."

Liu Guang nodded, "Precisely. I have prepared items from the Demon World. When the Demon-locking Tower collapses, the Heavenly Court will naturally assume it was the Demon Lord’s doing."

"When the Heavenly Court and the Demon World start fighting each other, our foothold will be established! Killing two birds with one stone—it’s only a matter of time."

...

Inside Duke Ping’s Mansion.

Duke Ping was in a towering rage.

He ordered An Suzhu to kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect for an hour.

Madam maintained a serious expression and remained silent.

Only An Shiyu couldn’t bear to see his sister suffer and kept pleading.

"Father, please forgive her; she has already been beaten today, and if she kneels in the cold ancestral hall, her body won’t be able to stand it!"

An Suzhu is Duke Ping’s daughter; how could he not care for her?

But caring does not mean indulging!

Duke Ping pointed at the sobbing An Suzhu, "No! Before, I was too soft on her. I was reluctant to punish even when she made mistakes."

"Today, not only did she lose face at the banquet, but she also caused a disturbance. It’s a small matter for others to laugh, but if you lose your life, then you’ll know fear!"

"I discipline you for your own good, Suzhu! If you are truly my good daughter, go kneel in the ancestral hall now!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

An Suzhu sobbed, showing no willingness.

She clutched An Shiyu’s sleeve, "Brother, I’m so miserable. I don’t want to kneel."

An Shiyu hastily said, "Father, I beg you!"

Duke Ping waved his sleeve, "This is not open to discussion! If I don’t make her learn this lesson, she’ll make an even bigger mistake next time."

An Suzhu muttered, "Dad~ why are you so angry? Even the Emperor wasn’t this furious. Besides, he already punished me."

Listening to her, Duke Ping realized that An Suzhu had not yet repented.

He fumed with anger, "The Emperor doesn’t always have such a good temper, and your fluky mentality might doom you in the future!"

"Now, go kneel in the ancestral hall immediately!"

An Shiyu, seeing his father unmoved, quickly turned his pleading gaze to Duchess Ping.

Though Duchess Ping rarely smiled and was hard to please,

they had been raised under her knees for many years.

Even if not her biological children, there should be some affection, right?

"Mother, please persuade Father! My sister has been beaten today and is already pitiful."

Unexpectedly, Duchess Ping only glanced at An Suzhu.

She heaved a heavy sigh.

"I witnessed this myself, and indeed Suzhu was at fault. The Duke is the head of the family; you should listen to him."

An Shiyu and An Suzhu were both stunned.

They didn’t expect the Duchess to be so ruthless and indifferent.

An Suzhu gritted her teeth, turned around, and stumbled, as if in defiance, toward the ancestral hall.

An Shiyu looked grim but did not dare to show it.

He bowed, "Then I’ll accompany my sister to kneel in the ancestral hall!"

With that, he quickly left following her.
