Chapter 276 Love Punishment (5K)
In the quiet space, Herbert and Bishop Ashes stood opposite each other, surrounded by a void space with no end in sight, as if it was still expanding outwards.

"..."

Bishop Ash's robe, which looked like the embers left after a fire, fluttered slightly in the windless state, causing the suffocating pressure from before to come back again.

Herbert knew very well that after being fooled by him, this epic warrior was obviously a little unhappy.

His inappropriate joke obviously angered this powerful being.

but……

So what?

I have many little secrets~
But I won't tell you.
Just~no~
Tell you~
Hey ↑ Hey ↓
Faced with a powerful boss, Herbert chose to be naughty.

Just kidding, hey, very happy!
The young man’s aspiration for the Tao is complete.

The frustration of being defeated in the battle with the Bishop of Ashes disappeared the moment he finished fighting.

Aha~
He felt great.

But he forgot one very important thing: when you are not strong enough, don't provoke someone you can't beat.

No, Herbert actually knew, of course he was aware of that.

But, he just wanted to be naughty!
As for anything else, it doesn’t matter.

Just be happy!

As we all know, smiles obey the [Law of Conservation of Smile] - a smile is either on your own face or transferred to someone else's face.

Herbert was happy, but it was obvious that someone was going to be unhappy.

"..."

On the other side, Bishop Ashes lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised them slightly and silently looked at the smiling young man.

After a long while, she finally sighed, lowered her shoulders, and smiled silently.

"Ah... hehe."

After living for so long, she finally understood what the saying "When people are speechless, they will really laugh out loud" meant.

I finally had the chance to understand how other people felt when I was being so naughty with them.

Tsk.

It's indeed a bit frustrating.

But the thing is... I have the qualifications to be skinny, what about you? Do you have them?

"You are quite courageous, aren't you? You dare to tease me like this, haha."

Bishop Ash's voice was low and cold, as if it came from the abyss and penetrated into Herbert's ears.

The sound made his body stiffen and his movements became slower and slower.

The eyes hidden in the shadows shot out two glances, like two sharp blades piercing straight into Herbert's soul.

Herbert felt a biting cold, as if his soul was about to freeze.

But at this critical moment, Herbert did not panic. He moved the few parts of his body that could still be moved.

He shrugged his shoulders, a mischievous and playful smile on his lips.

Of course he knew what he was doing and knew that Bishop Ash would definitely be unhappy - but again, so what?

Why not avoid it?

Because I am not afraid!
Although Bishop Ashes was extremely powerful, Herbert was not afraid of him—just like he never worried that the Archbishop would hurt him.

He had already sensed some of the other person's opinions of himself.

Bishop Ashes values ​​talent very much and will not persecute such an outstanding genius as himself.

She would never take some harmless jokes too seriously.

"Haha, if this makes you feel uncomfortable, please allow me to apologize."

Herbert bowed slightly, with standard movements, meticulously demonstrating his sincerity through body language.

But he did not show the corresponding sincerity on his face or in his words.

"I just feel that the serious atmosphere is not suitable for the two of us."

Herbert laughed, winked at Bishop Ashes, and asked with a smile:

"Don't you think so? Are you going to punish me for this? I don't think you are so petty, are you?"

The boy's affected demeanor made him look like an innocent little white flower, and his words were full of tea... coupled with his pair of expressive and lively eyes, he was the epitome of all the power of women.

Hey, sister, look at you. Why aren't you generous at all?

I...well, they've already apologized, what else do you want?
Why are you still chasing after me?!
Come on, listen to me, let's be more generous and stop worrying about such trivial matters.

You know, if you take a step back, the world will be wider.
Let's not fuss over such trivial matters.
There were some things that Herbert did not say explicitly, but his eyebrows and eyes moved, and his every frown and frown seemed to say everything.

Through those bright eyes, all thoughts were successfully conveyed to Bishop Ashes.

Then... Bishop Ash became even angrier.

Why are you blinking? Are you acting for me?

As a strong person with complete superiority in strength, she did not choose to respond in the same way as Herbert.

Instead, he chose a simpler and more brutal approach.

"Okay, okay... Of course I won't be so stingy, of course."

The brows under the shadow frowned slightly, and he raised his fingers lightly. Herbert suddenly felt an invisible force binding him in place, unable to move.

Herbert:?

After being suddenly restrained, he instinctively tried to resist, but then found helplessly that he couldn't even blink or shrug this time.

Hey!
The situation seems to be bad.

Just as Herbert was looking for a way out, the "legless" bishop lady slowly moved in front of him.

She looked at the boy with a stiff smile and embarrassment in his eyes, and shook her head.

"I don't hate your personality. You really make me happier than those dull little guys who only know how to improve themselves."

The voice was still cold, but mixed with a hint of helplessness and amusement.

Not many people can dislike that funny guy who loves to have fun.

"But if you are not strong enough, you will kill yourself or the people around you sooner or later."

Then wouldn't it be fine as long as I'm strong enough?

Herbert subconsciously wanted to answer this after hearing this, but he was restrained and couldn't speak.

Fortunately, Bishop Huijin could understand his expression. He shook his head slightly and whispered, "It's not enough to have ideas. You also need to have the corresponding strength."

"At least, with your current strength, you are not qualified to tease me."

She seemed to have thought of what she was going to do next, and couldn't help laughing twice, and whispered:

"But I am different."

She raised her hand slightly and gently removed the silk glove on her right hand, revealing the skin underneath.

It was a pair of eyes that seemed to be beyond the constraints of time, without any trace of aging.

As the oldest being in the entire monastery, who should be ranked second in age, Herbert had imagined what Bishop Ashes' face would look like.

Is it the appearance of a young girl as is customary?

In many literary and artistic works, a woman's age is not proportional to her appearance.

It can be said to be very mysterious.

If this woman is fifty years old, her image may not be young anymore.

But what if you say this woman is eight hundred years old!
That's what I'm talking about again...

This person sounds very young!
Especially when there are immortal species or even gods in this world, this image becomes more and more reasonable.

However, although Herbert was inclined to this kind of development, he did not dare to guarantee it 100%.

After all, there are differences in aesthetics between different races.

And some people just like the way they look at their original age and don’t like to use various methods to modify their appearance.

Even a powerful being like the Archbishop appeared before the world in the form of an old man, unable to get rid of the marks left by the years.

Are you saying he has no ability to transform himself into a young boy?
That can certainly be done easily.

But why not choose?

It was obvious that he himself didn't like that look.

So, what does this Bishop of Ashes, who hides himself under a hooded red robe all day long, look like?

Will it also be an old woman with an aged face?
Or……

This question once troubled Herbert, but now it seems to have an answer.

Judging from this almost flawless right hand, he can't see oldness or youth. It is a beautiful hand that can only be described as perfect.

The fair skin is as moist as the purest ice and snow, exuding an intoxicating temptation.

The fingers are slender and long, with slightly pointed black nails, exuding a strange temptation and an indescribable special attraction.

Under the star-like light of the demiplane, the skin on the back of the hand glows with a soft luster, as delicate and warm as mutton-fat jade, and as smooth as porcelain.

From the moment the hand appeared, it had been silently but strongly attracting Herbert's attention.

Herbert was not a hand control person, he had no special preference for other people's palms. But at this moment, he could not control his instinct, and his eyes fell on the palms.

It was as if the hand was silently conveying some special message to him.

dong dong.

Herbert's heartbeat also slowly accelerated at this time.

Is this, is this right?
Under the control of desire and instinct, Herbert's will finally found a chance to breathe.

He didn't even need to think about it, he was sure that his current condition was definitely not normal.

This power of doubt is really too special!

"Hey, you didn't lose your mind?"

Bishop Ashes admired Herbert's micro-expression, and suddenly let out a slight exclamation in surprise.

"I thought you would be in a state of confusion at this time, but I didn't expect your will to be even stronger than I thought. Haha, this is really good."

Even though he was planning to give Herbert, the disobedient child, a little punishment, the bishop, who valued talent, was still very pleased after discovering his shining points.

That’s great!

Of course, no matter how good the talent is, there will still be punishment. These are two different things.

If Herbert could hold out against all this frenzy of temptation, she could do much more.

Bishop Ash raised his hand and put it in front of his nose. The special scent like musk floated into Herbert's nasal cavity.

dong dong!

My heart beat faster.

"Does it look good?"

Bishop Ashes chuckled twice, and instead of retracting his hand, he slowly moved it downwards.

Herbert:?

Wait, what are you going to do to me?
Where are you gonna put your hands!?
Stop, stop for a moment!

The boy said nothing, but just gave her signals with his eyes.

The bishop said nothing, but kept moving his palm downwards.

At the critical moment, Herbert could only bow his head temporarily and call on his allies.

"Nenasha!"

Help, come and save——

[“Yes~”]

Miss Xieshen did not play dead this time, and responded lazily: ["What do you want to talk to me about? Are you asking me to come out and help you push it again?"]

"No no no."

Herbert was in no mood to joke at this time, and said helplessly: "It's not about that, it's that there is a witch who wants to harm me!"

This woman suddenly took off her gloves. She was actually trying to do something unspeakable to me!

[“Hehehe~ Yo, isn’t this my dear ally? You have come to this day too?”]

After making a teasing remark with a smile, Nenasha smiled and said a few words of comfort:
[“Don’t worry, she’s not planning on doing anything bad to you. There’s nothing to be nervous about.”]

After getting this promise, Herbert felt a little relieved and asked, "If it's not a bad thing, then could it be something comfortable?"

[“Comfortable? I guess so. You should feel very comfortable afterwards.”]

After? Should? You...

Herbert blinked his eyes and had an urge to suck his teeth.

Could you please explain yourself clearly, you damn riddle man, you jerk!
And after you said that, why do I feel even more panicked?

At this moment, Nenasha suddenly added: ["By the way, the attraction she has for you is not something she intentionally releases."]

[“If I have to say, this is probably a kind of stimulation to your instinct~”]

In other words, this is not the active skill of the Ash Bishop, but actually her passive talent?

So, in other words, the reason why she wrapped herself so tightly, without even a bit of skin exposed, was to suppress and cover up this terrifying passive talent?

This idea is very likely to be true.

A special instinctive stimulation?

Wait, if her ability is to stimulate instincts...

So the question is, what is she going to do now?

Just as Herbert was wondering what Bishop Ash would do, the flawless white fingers stopped in front of Herbert's chest.

call!
Fortunately, she didn't touch any sensitive parts.

Otherwise, Herbert was even a little worried that he would not be able to suppress his instinctive impulses.

"Haha, don't be careless."

But just when Herbert's tense consciousness relaxed a little, Bishop Ashes chuckled and pressed lightly.

"……cough."

dong dong!

Although Herbert remained restrained and motionless, he felt his heart pounding and beating faster in an instant.

The speed of the beating was so fast that it even made him feel like his blood was boiling.

Is this power the physical stimulation from external forces?

Or a special spell?
Or...is it the body's instinct of fear?
Yes, he had clearly felt the endless temptation before, but when he actually came into contact with the other party, what Herbert felt was no longer temptation.

But it is a huge fear!
The fear at that moment almost engulfed his consciousness.

This is why Herbert was restrained in place, otherwise he would have instinctively taken a step back.

What is this...

While Herbert was thinking, Bishop Ash slowly withdrew his fingers and put on the silk gloves again.

The moment the gloves were put on, all temptations disappeared instantly, including the restraints on Herbert.

His body swayed slightly, but he stood still with difficulty without falling down.

Herbert raised his hand and gently pressed it to the center of his chest, feeling the strong beating coming from his chest, and gasped in shock.

Bishop Ashes watched Herbert quietly perform these actions without stopping him. He waited until he calmed down a little before he spoke slowly:
"I think you have understood what I mean."

"I know that you are now able to control prisoners who are dangerous to others. They do have good strength and can keep you safe in many dangers."

“But that’s not enough.”

"In front of a truly powerful person, when no one else can help you, the only one you can rely on is yourself."

Bishop Ash raised his finger and placed it on Herbert's chest once again.

But this time, Herbert did not feel fear or temptation. He only felt her teachings as an elder.

"I have no objection to your training, but you do need to improve your own strength."

Bishop Ashes' voice was gentle, but there was a hint of severity in it. She said slowly:

"But if you continue to be so reckless, I should probably restrict your freedom and prevent you from taking risks in the dark areas."

"Your strength is not enough."

!

Hearing this, Herbert's eyes moved slightly, but he was not excited. He just calmly stared at the constantly changing shadow in front of Bishop Ash's face.

He couldn't see the other person's eyes clearly, but he knew that he must be looking at her, and she must be looking back at him.

"Nice look."

After staring at each other for a while, Bishop Ashes nodded with satisfaction, then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just giving you a warning. I won't really stop you."

She is the elder, but she will not interfere with the fate of the younger generation.

Everyone has the right to choose his or her own path.

Life or death, it’s up to them.

"Besides, if you think what I said is wrong, then prove it to me."

"Use the achievements you have spread in the world to prove that my words are wrong."

After saying this, she didn't give Herbert a chance to respond, but raised her hand and tapped him lightly on the top of his head.

thump.

The force was not great, but Herbert felt a sharp pain, as if an invisible hammer had hit his head hard.

"hiss--"

His ears were buzzing and his consciousness became blurred in an instant, as if he was thrown into an endless void.

"So, this is the real punishment!?"

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes weakly.

Herbert's eyes went dark.
