His mouth was stuffed with multicolored rags, packed to the brim...

The whip cracked with a sound, drawing a flower in the air, then fell on Dongyun Yu.

The "smack smack" sounds henceforth became the melodious music of the Dong Family.

A lowly Dongyun Yu was finally punished.

And he was to be hung for three days and beaten for three days.

Everyone felt elated!

Countless people came with their families to watch, and everyone had a look of satisfaction on their faces.

The jujube tree was very tall.

At least a hundred feet high.

Dongyun Yu was hung very high, thirty feet above ground.

The executioner swung the whip, leaping into the air, the whip like a venomous snake... with a crack, it landed on his body.

Dongyun Yu: "Mmm mmm..."

Everyone knew him well, and simultaneously shouted, "How dare he curse!"

Mmm mmm!

Smack smack!

Mmm mmm!

Smack smack smack...

Not until evening was the rag in his mouth removed, allowing him to be fed a bit of food and water.

But he could not be let down.

Dongyun Yu cursed with every bite he took, and others pretended not to hear. As soon as he finished eating and drinking, they immediately stuffed his mouth again.

As for bodily functions... if you’re not ashamed, go ahead and soil your pants, but it’s been said three days means three days! Not even an hour less!

If it were before, Dongyun Yu wouldn’t care, he’d do it without hesitation. Who’d be scared?

But after the feces-eating incident in the Yin Yang Realm, now even if you beat him to death, he wouldn’t do it!

I can endure!

From now on, I’m changing my name to Dong Able to Endure!

Time passed.

Dongyun Yu had been hung for two and a half days.

Though sixteen whips had been broken in the two and a half days, Dongyun Yu remained unyielding.

The most glorious moment is almost here, damn it, I can’t cave in at a time like this!

Finally.

It was afternoon.

From afar, Dongyun Yu saw a group of people coming solemnly from the Continent.

They proceeded with the beating of gongs and drums, the first among them holding something... radiating brilliantly in the sunlight, dazzling...

Was that... a banner?

Dongyun Yu instantly got excited, twisting and writhing in the air, his mouth stuffed with multicolored rags, he frantically shook his head: "Mmm, mmm mmm..."

Below: "This scoundrel still dares to curse! Beat him!"

Whoosh~ smack!

Whoosh~ smack!

Again and again, a dozen whips followed...

Over here, it was like a festive celebration, everyone was cheerful and jubilant watching Dongyun Yu get beaten.

There were indeed many who held deep resentment towards him, some even brought feasts over to the jujube tree and drank as they watched the lowly man get beaten, it was truly a delightful sight.

And among those tables, there was even one belonging to the ancestors.

A dozen ancestors with white hair drifting sat at a table drinking, countless sighed, not even during New Year would one see the ancestors gathered so fully.

It goes to show how Dongyun Yu’s resentment was shocking to both heaven and earth, moving even ghosts and gods to tears.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Truthfully speaking, today is the most satisfying day I’ve had in years!"

"Who wouldn’t say that!"

"This lowly scoundrel needed dealing with long ago!"

"You say, with the Dong Family’s strict household traditions for so many years, how did this kind of thing come about?"

"I’m baffled too, Third Uncle... this is truly bewildering."

"The last time I went to the Guardian Headquarters for a meeting, even Ninth Lord specifically asked about it, saying, they heard the Dong Family produced an oddity? And the whole hall erupted with laughter, my face was... "

"Third Uncle, this... tsk, you might as well have said, our family producing this is still better than the Xue family producing a King Shi?"

"Haha... if I’d really said that with Lord Xue present, you guys would not be drinking with me, but offering sacrifices at my grave right now... "

"Hahaha... but today indeed feels euphoric. Even the wind seems to be beating gongs and drums."

"Who wouldn’t say that, indeed it feels like gongs and drums are sounding in the wind... wait! Eh? It really is someone beating gongs and drums!"

The few elders immediately looked at each other, glancing confusedly at one another.

Listening carefully again... eh, the sound of gongs and drums actually seems to be getting closer?

"Heading this way..."

"Who’s wedding could it be... I’ve heard nothing..."

"Let’s go have a look."

"They’re here, already here, at the doorstep..."

...

Yang Luoyu appeared resplendent.

Leading a ceremonial team of dozens.

With Deputy Chief Zhang Changjun in the lead, it was clear Zhang Changjun had done similar things before.

They rushed onward.

Turning past the mountain pass, they saw ahead endless constructions stretching into the mountains.

All were dwellings. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ahead lies the entire expanse belonging to the Dong Family."

Zhang Changjun pointed with his hand.

"Truly vast!" Yang Luoyu said sincerely: "It’s practically a city."

"Such families that have been passed down for thousands of years are essentially a city themselves!" Zhang Changjun remarked: "Speaking of, in our Zhengnan area, it’s precisely because of the Dong Family’s presence that things are much more peaceful."

"The Dong Family has always been a family of gentlemen, acting with fairness and justice, so there are basically no dissident offspring. If there are, the family deals with it. Years ago, there were a few Dong Family offspring who were dazzled by the outside world and committed heinous acts of debauchery. Once the Dong Family found out, the entire family mobilized and searched the entire Continent, capturing the two degenerates back."

"The Dong Family Master decreed at the time: Even if they repent, they are not to step out of the prison cell until death!"

"Eventually, those two died in the cell."

"For the sins committed by those two, the victim’s family’s girls and their entire family were supported by the Dong Family for two generations before it was concluded."

Zhang Changjun said: "Therefore, the Dong Family’s prestige in Zhengnan is very high."

Yang Luoyu listened and couldn’t help but feel solemn.
