The morning sun cast long shadows across the winding paths of Zephuang Gate as Xuan Fa walked slowly through the compound, a length of black leather leash wrapped loosely around his fist. Three women crawled behind him on hands and knees, their naked bodies gleaming with a faint sheen of sweat in the warm light. Their bare breasts swayed with each deliberate movement, and the black slave collars around their necks caught the light with every step they took.
Lin Qiaoxin moved on his left, her twin ponytails bouncing as she crawled with an almost cheerful energy. Her pert bottom swayed rhythmically, the flesh still bearing the faint pink remnants of previous discipline. Despite her vulnerable position, her eyes sparkled with a mischievous brightness that had never dimmed, even after three centuries of servitude.
Li Que crawled on his right, her tall athletic frame moving with predatory grace. Her fiery red hair was pulled back in a high ponytail that swayed like a flame with each movement. Her muscular thighs and toned arms spoke of countless hours of combat training, yet she moved with the perfect submission of a well-trained pet, her head bowed slightly, her eyes fixed on the ground before her master's feet.
Behind them, Shen Mengyue followed with quiet dignity, her long black hair trailing across the stone path. Her mature figure, full-breasted and narrow-waisted, moved with a grace that years of discipline had only enhanced rather than diminished. The slave collar around her elegant neck seemed almost decorative against her porcelain skin, a mark of ownership she now wore with pride.
Other disciples of Zephuang Gate moved aside as the procession passed, their naked bodies pressing against the walls in deference. Some were watering the gardens, others carrying scrolls between buildings, all moving with the easy familiarity of those accustomed to perpetual nudity. They bowed their heads as Xuan Fa passed, acknowledging their master and the three powerful elders who crawled at his feet.
"Stop here," Xuan Fa said, his voice flat and cold.
The three women immediately halted, kneeling in perfect stillness. Their breathing was controlled, their postures humble, their eyes downcast. Xuan Fa turned to face them, his black training robes immaculate, his expression unreadable.
"You have all broken through to the late stage of Nascent Soul, am I correct?"
Lin Qiaoxin pressed her forehead to the ground. "Yes, Master. This humble servant broke through three days ago."
Li Que followed suit. "This servant achieved late Nascent Soul last week, thanks to Master's gracious punishment."
Shen Mengyue bowed deeply. "This servant also broke through. It is all due to Master's benevolence."
Xuan Fa's lips curved slightly, a ghost of amusement crossing his stoic features. "Three hundred years to reach late Nascent Soul from mid stage. That is faster than most."
Lin Qiaoxin raised her head just enough to meet his gaze, her eyes shining with gratitude. "It is because Master spanks us so thoroughly, day after day. The pain opens our meridians, and the spiritual energy of the Xuantian Realm feeds our cultivation. We could not have done it without Master's harsh discipline."
Li Que nodded emphatically. "Every stroke of the board purges impurities from our dantian. This servant is grateful for every single strike."
Shen Mengyue's voice was soft but sincere. "This servant once hated the board more than anything. Now I understand that it is the truest expression of Master's care. Through pain, we are perfected."
Xuan Fa studied them for a long moment, his dark eyes moving from one bowed head to the next. "You have reached late Nascent Soul. That means you are ready for a mission."
The three women's heads snapped up, anticipation and eagerness flickering across their faces.
"Bai Zhenshuang of the Heavenly Sword Sect has spoken disrespectfully of Zephuang Gate," Xuan Fa said, his voice dropping to a dangerous register. "Hua Qianyu of the Hundred Flowers Valley allowed her disciples to occupy our herbal gardens. Su Qianyao of the Demon Clan used her seduction arts to corrupt the minds of Zephuang disciples."
He paused, letting the weight of the offenses settle over his kneeling slaves.
"You three will go to them. You will deliver my message. They are to strip themselves completely naked, crawl to the entrance of Zephuang Gate, kneel with their bottoms raised, and receive one hundred strikes of the Heavenly Dao board each day for ten years. This is a light punishment for their transgressions."
Lin Qiaoxin's eyes widened with anticipation. "And if they resist, Master?"
Xuan Fa reached into his robe and produced three lengths of golden chain, each link inscribed with intricate formations that pulsed with barely contained power. The Immortal Binding Chains gleamed in the morning light.
"If they resist, you will defeat them. You will bind them with these and drag them back here by their hair. They will learn submission the hard way."
He handed one chain to each woman. They received the gifts as though receiving sacred relics, pressing them to their foreheads before tucking them away.
"This servant will not fail Master," Li Que declared, her voice carrying the old pride, now redirected entirely toward pleasing him.
"This servant will bring Bai Zhenshuang to heel," Shen Mengyue said quietly. "I know her kind. Prideful. Untouched. She has never known the board. She will learn."
Lin Qiaoxin giggled, a light, almost girlish sound that belied the terror she could inspire. "I'll bring Hua Qianyu back with her pretty bottom already red. She won't know what hit her."
Xuan Fa nodded once. "Before you leave, there is the matter of today's punishment."
The three women exchanged glances, their bodies already responding to the anticipation. Lin Qiaoxin's nipples hardened. Li Que's breathing quickened. Shen Mengyue's thighs pressed together almost imperceptibly.
"Master," Lin Qiaoxin said, her voice taking on a pleading tone, "since we have broken through to late Nascent Soul, this servant humbly requests an increase in our daily discipline. Four hundred strokes instead of two hundred."
Li Que nodded vigorously. "This servant echoes the request. We have grown stronger. We require stronger correction."
Shen Mengyue pressed her forehead to the ground again. "This servant hopes Master will consider our petition."
Xuan Fa's eyebrow rose slightly. "You have grown to enjoy the board, have you?"
The three women spoke in unison, their voices carrying no shame. "Yes, Master."
He let out a quiet laugh, a rare sound that made the disciples nearby glance up in surprise. "Complete this mission successfully. Bring me Bai Zhenshuang, Hua Qianyu, and Su Qianyao. Make them kneel. Make them submit. Then I will grant your request."
"We thank Master!" the three women chorused, touching their foreheads to the ground.
"Call your daughters."
Lin Qiaoxin rose to a kneeling position and called out, her voice carrying across the compound. "Lin Yuxin! Your mother summons you!"
Shen Mengyue's voice followed, softer but equally carrying. "Shen Xingmian, come to your master."
Li Que's call was sharp and commanding. "Li Yunling! Present yourself!"
From three different directions, three young women approached. They moved with the same naked confidence as their mothers, their bodies unscarred but their postures already trained to perfect submission. Each wore a black slave collar identical to the ones around their mothers' throats.
Lin Yuxin looked like a younger, more mischievous version of Lin Qiaoxin. Her youthful face carried the same impish charm, her hair done up in a maid's bun that accented her delicate features. She knelt beside her mother, pressing her forehead to the ground.
Li Yunling moved with the same athletic grace as Li Que, her toned body still carrying the softness of youth. Her fiery red hair was shorter than her mother's, but the same proud bearing was visible, now channeled into perfect submission. She knelt beside Li Que.
Shen Xingmian was nearly a mirror image of Shen Mengyue, sharing her mother's elegant features and quiet dignity. Her long black hair fell across her shoulders as she knelt, her posture every bit as refined as the former sect master who had birthed her.
"Greetings, Master," the three young women said in unison.
Xuan Fa looked down at the six women kneeling before him, three generations of slaves bound by blood and discipline. "Your mothers' bottoms are itching. They require discipline. Take the Heavenly Dao boards and give them two hundred strokes each. After that, spread their legs and strike their cleft paths one hundred times each with the whip."
Lin Yuxin's eyes lit up with cruel anticipation. "As Master commands."
Li Yunling cracked her knuckles. "This servant will ensure Mother feels every stroke."
Shen Xingmian bowed deeply. "This servant will not disappoint Master."
Lin Qiaoxin had already turned around, presenting her bottom to her daughter. The flesh was smooth and pale, waiting for correction. She arranged herself on all fours, lowering her chest to the ground and raising her hips as high as she could manage.
"Yuxin, my darling," Lin Qiaoxin said, a hint of her usual playfulness in her voice, "remember to angle the strikes so they land on the lower curve. That's where it really hurts. And don't hold back. Your mother needs this."
Lin Yuxin picked up the Heavenly Dao board, a flat piece of dark wood that hummed with spiritual energy. She tested its weight in her hands, then stepped behind her mother. "I'll make sure Mother's bottom is properly punished."
Li Que positioned herself beside Lin Qiaoxin, her movements efficient and practiced. She presented her bottom to her daughter with the same proud posture she carried into battle. "Strike hard, Yunling. I didn't raise a weakling."
Li Yunling hefted her board. "You raised a warrior, Mother. I will strike like one."
Shen Mengyue took her place on the other side, her movements graceful even in submission. She looked over her shoulder at Shen Xingmian, her eyes soft with a mother's affection mixed with a master's expectation.
"Xingmian," she said quietly, "you know where to strike for maximum effect. Remember, the pain opens the meridians. Every stroke is a gift."
Shen Xingmian nodded, her face serious. "I will make sure your gift is generous, Mother."
Xuan Fa stood back, arms crossed, watching the scene unfold. The other disciples of Zephuang Gate had paused in their tasks, their eyes drawn to the ritual unfolding in the courtyard. This was a sacred moment in their sect—the disciplining of the elders.
"Begin," Xuan Fa commanded.
Lin Yuxin raised the board high and brought it down across her mother's exposed bottom. The crack echoed through the courtyard like thunder. Lin Qiaoxin's body jerked, but she let out a moan of pleasure rather than pain.
"Harder," Lin Qiaoxin gasped. "Don't be gentle with your mother."
Lin Yuxin struck again, and again, each blow landing with precise accuracy. The pale flesh of Lin Qiaoxin's bottom began to pinken, then redden, the marks of the board appearing like stripes across her skin.
Beside them, Li Yunling was striking with mechanical precision, her swings powerful and controlled. Each blow landed with a sharp crack that made Li Que's muscles tense and release, her body riding the waves of pain and pleasure that washed through her.
"Good," Li Que growled. "Your form is excellent. Strike harder."
Li Yunling obliged, putting more weight behind each swing. The board left deep red marks across her mother's athletic bottom, the flesh beginning to swell beneath the assault.
Shen Xingmian struck with a different rhythm—slower, more deliberate. Each blow was measured, calculated to cause maximum effect. She angled the board so that the edge caught the curve of her mother's buttock, intensifying the sting.
Shen Mengyue let out a soft cry with each strike, her fingers diggi
