The summer sun blazed down upon the Immortal Xia Sect, its rays filtering through the ancient pines that lined the mountain path. The sect, nestled in the crescent-shaped valley of the Azure Cloud Mountains, had stood for three thousand years, a sanctuary for female cultivators who sought refuge from the chaos of the cultivation world.
In the main hall, carved from white jade and inlaid with formations that hummed with protective energy, Sect Leader Shen Mengyue sat upon her lotus throne. Her black-and-white Daoist robe flowed around her like water, and her hair, black as a starless night, cascaded past her waist. She held a jade scroll in her slender fingers, reading reports from her outer disciples.
The cultivation world had always been strange. In the ancient times, the Celestial Emperor had decreed a balance—more women were born with spiritual roots than men, and the path to immortality favored the feminine yin energy. But the yang energy of male cultivators, though rare, was potent. And somewhere in the chaotic birth of the cultivation laws, a strange custom had emerged.
A male cultivator could take a female cultivator as a female slave by spanking her bare buttocks. The act, humiliating as it was, allowed the transfer of yang energy to accelerate cultivation. Most female cultivators rejected the practice with every fiber of their being. It was a relic of a barbaric age, a custom that had no place in the modern cultivation world.
Shen Mengyue set down the scroll and massaged her temples. "The world is changing," she murmured. "But some things remain constant."
The main hall's doors burst open.
A young disciple, her face pale as death, stumbled inside. Her robes were singed, and her foundation-building cultivation flickered like a guttering candle. "Sect Leader! Xuanfa Heavenly Venerable—he's coming!"
Shen Mengyue’s eyes widened. Xuanfa. The name alone sent a chill through the cultivation world. He was a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator, one of the strongest beings in existence. His combat techniques were legendary—finger techniques that could shatter mountains and pierce the void itself. And his reputation was one of cold, brutal efficiency.
"What happened?" Shen Mengyue rose from her throne, her sword materializing in her hand. It was a thin blade of crystalline ice, forged from the heart of a frozen waterfall.
The disciple fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face. "I was gathering spirit herbs in the Southern Wastes. I didn't know that patch belonged to him. I was careless—I trampled his garden. He... he said he would spank every female disciple of the Immortal Xia Sect until their butts bloomed like flowers."
Shen Mengyue’s face hardened. She had heard of Xuanfa's peculiar obsession. The man loved spanking women's buttocks. It was whispered in taverns and markets, a scandalous tale that made female cultivators shudder and male cultivators laugh nervously. But to hear it said so directly, as a threat against her sect, was something else entirely.
"He said that?" Shen Mengyue's voice was ice.
"Yes, Sect Leader. I begged for forgiveness, but he just smiled. It was the most terrifying smile I've ever seen." The disciple sobbed. "I'm sorry. I brought this upon us."
Shen Mengyue stepped down from her throne and placed a hand on the girl's head. "You made a mistake. But you are a member of this sect. I will not let anyone harm you or your sisters."
She turned to face the entrance of the main hall, her sword held loosely at her side. "Activate the mountain defense formations. Tell the disciples to stay in their quarters. I will deal with Xuanfa Heavenly Venerable myself."
The disciple scrambled to obey, and Shen Mengyue walked out of the main hall into the blazing sunlight.
The sky above the Immortal Xia Sect was clear, but Shen Mengyue could feel the oppressive pressure descending like a physical weight. It was the aura of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator, and it made her own Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation feel like a candle before a bonfire.
She reached the sect's main gate, a massive archway carved from obsidian that hummed with defensive formations. Beyond it, the mountain path wound down into the forest.
And there he was.
Xuanfa walked up the path as if he were taking a casual stroll. He wore a black training outfit that hugged his muscular frame, and his face was cold and handsome, like a statue carved from ice. His eyes were dark, emotionless pools that seemed to see through everything.
He stopped before the archway and looked at Shen Mengyue. "Shen Mengyue. Sect Leader of the Immortal Xia Sect." His voice was flat, without inflection. "Your disciple destroyed my spirit herb garden. I lost thirty years of cultivation resources."
Shen Mengyue bowed slightly, maintaining her composure. "Heavenly Venerable, I apologize for my disciple's carelessness. I will compensate you for your losses. Three times the value."
Xuanfa shook his head. "I don't want compensation."
"Then what do you want?"
Xuanfa's lips curled into a thin smile. "I told your disciple. I want to spank every female disciple of the Immortal Xia Sect. Until your buttocks are red and blooming." His eyes locked onto Shen Mengyue's. "Starting with the sect leader herself."
Shen Mengyue’s grip on her sword tightened. "That is not going to happen."
"Then we have a problem." Xuanfa raised his right hand, his fingers forming a seal. "I don't like problems. I solve them."
He flicked his finger.
A beam of black energy shot forward, not at Shen Mengyue, but at the archway. The obsidian shattered like glass, and the defensive formations scattered into the wind like startled birds. Shen Mengyue leaped backward, her sword flashing as she deflected the residual energy.
"You're strong," Xuanfa said, still calm. "But not strong enough."
Shen Mengyue didn't waste words. She launched herself forward, her sword becoming a blur of icy light. She used her signature technique—Moon Over Frost River—a series of three hundred and sixty strikes that flowed like water and struck like winter itself.
Xuanfa didn't move.
He raised his index finger and middle finger together, and a barrier of black energy appeared around him. Shen Mengyue's strikes shattered against it, sending shards of ice flying in all directions. She pressed the attack, her sword singing through the air, but she couldn't break through.
"So this is the strength of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection," she muttered.
Xuanfa watched her with cold eyes. "You use techniques beautifully. Your movements are precise, your energy control is excellent. But you lack power." He took a step forward, and the barrier dissipated. "Let me show you real power."
He pointed at her.
Shen Mengyue felt the air compress around her. She tried to dodge, but it was like moving through honey. A beam of pure black energy shot from Xuanfa's finger, striking her in the chest. She flew backward, crashing into a pine tree that splintered into a thousand pieces.
She landed on the ground, gasping for breath. Her Daoist robe was torn, and she could taste blood in her mouth.
Xuanfa walked toward her, his footsteps measured and unhurried. "You're at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. You're one of the strongest female cultivators in the world. But I'm not even using seventy percent of my power."
Shen Mengyue struggled to her feet, her sword trembling in her hand. "I will protect my sect."
"You can't." Xuanfa stopped ten feet away from her. "But I admire your spirit. Most people would have begged for mercy by now."
"I don't beg."
Xuanfa's smile widened. "Good. I like that."
He raised his hand again, and Shen Mengyue braced herself for another attack. But instead of a beam of energy, Xuanfa made a grabbing motion, and the air around her solidified into invisible chains. She was lifted off her feet, her arms pinned to her sides, her sword clattering to the ground.
"This is the difference between us," Xuanfa said, walking closer. "You fight with a sword. I fight with my fingers. And my fingers can do many things."
He stopped directly in front of her, so close she could smell the faint scent of sandalwood on his clothes. His dark eyes bored into hers, and for the first time, Shen Mengyue felt genuine fear.
"What are you going to do?" she asked, her voice steady despite her terror.
Xuanfa reached out and touched her cheek. "I'm going to keep my promise." His fingers traced down her neck, across her collarbone, and stopped at the collar of her robe. "Starting with you."
With a single motion, he pulled.
The fabric of her Daoist robe tore like paper.
Shen Mengyue struggled against the invisible chains, but they held her fast. Her robe fell open, revealing the white inner robe beneath. Xuanfa's expression didn't change as he pulled again, and the inner robe joined the outer robe on the ground.
Now she stood in only her undergarments, exposed to the mountain air. Her skin, fair as jade and smooth as silk, flushed with shame and anger. The disciples of the Immortal Xia Sect had gathered at a distance, watching in horror as their sect leader was humiliated.
"Don't watch!" Shen Mengyue shouted at them. "Go inside!"
But they couldn't move. They were frozen by the sight and by Xuanfa's oppressive aura.
Xuanfa reached for the last piece of fabric covering Shen Mengyue's body. "Time to keep my promise."
He pulled.
The undergarments fell away, and Shen Mengyue was naked. Her body was beautiful—full hips, a narrow waist, breasts that were both ethereally pure and seductively charming. But now she was exposed to the world, her most private parts on display.
The disciples gasped. Some of them cried.
Xuanfa studied her body like a sculptor admiring his work. Then he turned her around, facing her away from him, and pressed her down until her hands touched the ground. Her buttocks were lifted high, perfectly presented.
"You said you would protect your sect," Xuanfa said, his voice cold. "But you can't even protect your own dignity."
He raised his hand.
And brought it down hard on her exposed buttock.
The slap echoed through the mountain valley like thunder.
Shen Mengyue bit her lip to keep from crying out. The pain was sharp, immediate, and humiliating. A red handprint bloomed on her fair skin.
Xuanfa slapped again. And again. And again.
Each strike was measured, precise, and devastating. He didn't use his cultivation power—just physical strength, the strength of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator's body. After the tenth slap, Shen Mengyue's buttocks were red and swollen, covered in overlapping handprints.
"You're taking it well," Xuanfa said, pausing his assault. "Most people would have screamed by now."
Shen Mengyue's voice was hoarse, but she forced out words. "I... will not... give you... the satisfaction."
Xuanfa chuckled. "That's fine. I have all the satisfaction I need."
He raised his hand for another strike, but this time, golden energy gathered around his palm. When he slapped her, the energy transferred into her body, seeping through her skin and into her dantian.
Shen Mengyue gasped. The energy was warm, powerful, and it made her cultivation core thrum with new strength.
"This is what happens when a female slave is spanked," Xuanfa explained as he continued to slap. "Yang energy transfers to yin. Your cultivation will advance. You'll become stronger."
"I am not your female slave!" Shen Mengyue shouted.
"Not yet." Xuanfa's hand paused on her buttock. "But you will be."
He brought his hand down one final time, and Shen Mengyue's vision went white. She collapsed to the ground, her body limp, her buttocks burning with pain and arousal.
Xuanfa stood over her, looking down at her naked body with cold satisfaction. "I've kept my promise. Your buttocks are blooming like red flowers." He turned to look at the gathered disciples. "But there are many more flowers in this garden."
The disciples screamed and scattered, fle
