Return of the Mythic Bloodline

Chapter 517: The Punishment

A/N: This Chapter was written due to popular demand (only two readers actually replied 🥲). Treat it as filler and skip it if you do not want to read about Nymeria and Ume’s promise they made to Taranis.

Ume flinched from my command, her body tensing as if she had been struck. Her eyes visibly shook, the usual confidence in them wavering. Her voice turned softer as she looked at me with pleading eyes and murmured, "Should we not focus on saving this planet? We could do it later."

I instantly shook my head, my expression unyielding. "According to the readings, there are still two days remaining before the rifts appear."

I moved my fingers terrifyingly along her waist, tracing slow circles against the fabric of her dress, as I whispered, my voice low and my face carrying an opposing smirk, "Your plump butts are under my mercy until then."

"H-how uncouth!" She gasped, swatting my hand away from her waist. Her head immediately moved to the sides, checking if anyone had heard what I said, her pink eyes darting nervously. "Do not say such dirty things in public."

There was no one in the room except us three. The backstage was empty, the echoes of the departing Awakeners long faded.

"Sister Ume, our fate is inevitable," Nymeria murmured, her hand playfully reaching for Ume’s bottom, patting it with teasing gentleness. "We poor girls cannot escape the grasp of this lust demon."

"De-demon?" I raised an eyebrow, pointing at myself with mock offense, while she continued, "We must offer our rears to satisfy his lust."

Ume looked at me with a completely new look in her eyes, as if a scared child was staring at a ghost. "There is only me to blame for this predicament."

Her hands formed a series of hand signs, materialising several pink petals on the marble floor below. The petals spiralled around the three of us, completely surrounding us inside a cocoon of soft light. I felt no bump or shift in the environment, but when the petals vanished, we were standing in my room at home. The familiar scent of my space filled my senses. With more tails, her teleportation had become a lot smoother than before, the transition nearly seamless.

I sat on the edge of the bed, the mattress dipping under my weight, my hands lazily placed on either side as I said, "Ume, seal the room so that no sound leaks outside."

"Wh-why?" She asked, flinching, her voice barely above a whisper. The faint blush had never left her cheeks.

"Do you want the whole family to hear your screams?" I asked, my lips coiling upward into a wicked grin.

She shivered from my gaze and words, instinctively moving closer to Nymeria, seeking refuge behind her sister’s protective frame.

"Do not scare her too much," Nymeria hissed, her eyes narrowing at me, her hand moving protectively onto Ume’s head, stroking her hair in a soothing gesture.

"Alright, alright," I chuckled, rising from the bed. "I will be back with a quick shower. Keep yourselves ready until I return."

"But we also need to shower," Ume added as I was moving toward the bathroom, her voice carrying a hint of hopeful protest.

"Don’t be slick, foxy. You can use Soulforce to clean yourselves," I said, opening the door. I looked back from over my shoulder as I continued, "Nonetheless, I do not mind if you do not."

With that, I closed the door behind me, the latch clicking softly.

I bathed as quickly as possible, obviously excited for the long night ahead of me. The cold water did little to calm the anticipation buzzing under my skin.

As I was about to wear my clothes, an idea struck my mind, my eyes narrowing with delight at my own intelligence.

"This will be fun," I murmured inwardly, opening the inventory. A wide grin spread across my face as I retrieved the items I had stored away.

When I opened the door, Nymeria and Ume had already changed into their night suits, sitting cross-legged on the bed, waiting for their fate. The soft lamplight cast warm shadows across their figures.

Their eyes turned to the door as I walked out, their eyes widening in both intrigue and surprise.

I was wearing a formal white shirt tucked into plain, ankle length black trousers, ending with Chelsea boots. The sleeves were folded, revealing my wide forearms with thick veins snaking across the skin. My black hair was untied, spilling over my shoulders, swaying with every movement. In my hand, I carried an electric whip with a thin flexible rod, ending with a heart shaped flat black tip. I struck the whip against my palm, my expressions unreadable as I moved toward the duo.

Ume’s fingers moved to Nymeria, touching her hand as she whispered, "Is it only I, or is he looking irresistibly dashing?"

Nymeria took a short gulp as she added, her voice low and husky, "He can whip me all he wants."

"Ah, so these are the two young ladies I have heard so many complaints about?" I said, the sound of the whip striking my palm echoing through the room, sharp and commanding.

Ume raised her eyebrow in confusion while Nymeria instantly understood the assignment, a playful smile tugging on her lips.

"Yes, we are the ones," she said, smugly swaying her silver hair back, her creamy eyes glinting with mischief. "What will you do about it?"

My eyebrows furrowed, my eyes narrowing at her. "Is this the way to speak to your master?"

Whip!

The sound cracked through the air.

"You seriously need some disciplining, bratty girl," I said, covering the distance between me and the bed in slow, deliberate steps. Each footfall was measured, purposeful. I moved the heart shaped end of the whip to Ume’s chin, slightly raising her face, forcing her to meet my gaze.

"Are you a bad foxy or a good foxy?" I asked, my voice low and deep, vibrating with authority.

Her lips parted, the nervousness from before still lingering in her pink eyes, but a completely different emotion was taking over, an excitement of experiencing something new. She locked her pink eyes with my auburn ones, her fluffy ears popping up on her head, undoing her illusion spell as she murmured, her voice trembling with anticipation, "I-I am a bad foxy. Please punish me."
