"Mom?"

"Xiao Chen, why are you back so early?" Qing Yin pushed open the door and found Shui Ye Chen practicing sword again, immediately feeling unhappy.

"Huh? Um... well... school ended early today! But mom, I thought you would be working late. Why are you back now?" Shui Ye Chen sheathed his sword and asked.

"Oh... um..." Qing Yin felt a bit hot all over for some reason, blushed, and said, "Mom will be working late tonight."

"Oh!" So, Shui Ye Chen was planning to continue practicing sword.

"Xiao Chen! Don't you have homework to do? Instead of doing homework first, you always just want to play with the sword! Eat first, then do your homework after!" Qing Yin scolded.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go do my homework!"

Qing Yin shook her head. This child is good at everything, and he's smart too, but he just doesn't like to study!

After dinner, seeing Shui Ye Chen going upstairs to do his homework, she felt somewhat satisfied.

Shui Ye Chen returned to his room on the second floor.

Qing Yin had just mentioned him, so Shui Ye Chen didn't dare to practice sword anymore. But in reality, he didn't even go to school today, so he was reading a manual on sword techniques at home.

This manual was written by Qing Yin a few years ago and kept at home. Shui Ye Chen secretly took it.

The name of the manual is "Blade of the Starry Era". This sword manual is extremely profound. To be honest, up until now, Shui Ye Chen couldn't even understand the first move. Every time he had free time, he would contemplate it, but he still couldn't comprehend the first move. The entire manual is divided into seven volumes, and Shui Ye Chen naturally took the first volume, which consists of eleven moves.

"Mom is really amazing! How strong is she exactly? Her swordsmanship is so advanced that I can't even grasp the basics!" Shui Ye Chen exclaimed.

"Xiao Chen, do you want to drink..." Just then, Qing Yin suddenly entered with a glass of juice.

However, what she saw was not her son doing his homework as she had imagined, but him sitting on the bed in a panic, hands pressing down on the pillow, hiding something.

"Xiao Chen? What are you doing?" Qing Yin's face immediately darkened.

"Nothing, just looking at books!" Shui Ye Chen replied unhappily.

"What kind of book are you looking at?"

"Of course, it's a study book!"

"Oh?" Qing Yin raised an eyebrow and said, "Let me see the book!"

"Are there any interesting ones? These are just high school books."

"Oh? Which subject?"

"It's... it's..."

Qing Yin became annoyed and said harshly, "Bring out the book now, I won't say it a second time!"

Shui Ye Chen knew how fierce his mother could get when she got angry, so he didn't dare to make excuses and reluctantly took out the book hidden under the pillow.

Qing Yin took the book and looked at it, and her expression immediately changed.

It turned out to be a pornographic book depicting sexy prostitutes! Although the images of those prostitutes were far from her own, they all had long black hair and were tall and mature!

Qing Yin took a deep breath and said, "What is this about?"

"It's nothing, just looking casually!" Shui Ye Chen calmly answered. Originally, it should have been very embarrassing for a boy to be caught by his young mother looking at pornographic books during the day, but Shui Ye Chen was calm because this was all part of his plan!

Indeed, the book was his, but he hadn't actually read it before. He hid the book under the pillow as a cover for taking his mother's manual! The manual was now hidden on the inside of the pillowcase! This was the plan that Xiao Chen came up with just in case.

Qing Yin naturally got angry when she saw her son not doing his homework and looking at pornographic books in broad daylight, so she didn't suspect anything!

Qing Yin suppressed her anger and said, "Xiao Chen, you're already fifteen this year! It's understandable to be interested in the opposite sex, and mom understands that! But if you have any questions, you can come and ask me. Why do you have to secretly look at such vulgar things?"

"Ask you? Will you really give me an answer? At most, you'll just tell me not to think too much and that I'm young, and should focus on my studies!" Shui Ye Chen replied.

"Is it wrong to focus on studying? Besides, as long as you ask mom seriously, there are many things that mom can tell you and prepare some healthy books for you in this area! I'm confiscating this book! Study hard, and in a few days, I'll have a good talk with you!" Qing Yin took the book and turned to leave."Confiscate it if you want, I don't care about this lousy book." Shui Yechen lay down on the bed, propping his legs up on the bed with his shoes still on.

"What?" Qing Yin was stunned. "What kind of attitude is this? Wearing shoes on the bed and taking on this posture, what are you thinking?"

"Did I say something wrong? This lousy book is overpriced, and those women depicted inside are vulgar and seductive. They are nothing compared to Mom! I have no interest in such books. If you don't confiscate them, I worry that I won't have anywhere to put them!" Shui Yechen replied.

"What?" Qing Yin was shocked, her body trembling. "Xiao Chen! Do you know what you're saying? You're comparing Mom to these prostitutes in the book?"

Shui Yechen realized he might have misspoke and quickly said, "That's not what I meant! I meant Mom is much more beautiful than them! This kind of book has no appeal to me."

"Xiao Chen, do you know what you're saying?" Qing Yin's face darkened.

"I...I just wanted to say Mom is beautiful, is there something wrong with that?"

"The problem is not here. The problem is that your words clearly show disrespect towards your Mom! Mom is Mom, not some sexy and beautiful woman. Why do you always say these unrelated strange things? Stand up and talk to Mom!" Qing Yin scolded.

Shui Yechen would never dare to disrespect Qing Yin for real. He was just acting out of defiance, so he immediately stood up and stood next to Qing Yin. He then realized that Mom was indeed tall, with a height of 1.76 meters, while he was only around 1.65 meters.

"Hmph, other men can say it, why can't I?" Shui Yechen pouted.

"Huh?"

"Aren't those sleazy middle-aged men always praising Mom's beauty for no reason? Mom is happy when she hears that. But when I say you're beautiful, you get angry?"

"W-where is the happiness? Mom is just being polite! You...you, really annoy me!" Qing Yin stomped her foot in anger. She pointed to the edge of the bed and ordered, "Take off your pants by yourself and kneel down at the edge of the bed!"

"Huh? M-Mom...please don't!" Now it was Shui Yechen's turn to panic. He was already grown up, and now he had to get his bottom spanked by Mom? This was too embarrassing!

"Kneel down!" Qing Yin repeated firmly.

Shui Yechen heard the unquestionable tone in Qing Yin's voice, so he reluctantly took off his pants and knelt down at the edge of the bed.

Qing Yin also didn't hold back and walked up to him. She pressed his back with one hand and spanked his bottom with the other hand. Although Qing Yin had slender fingers and soft arms, she was after all a master of swordsmanship. She controlled her strength to avoid hurting her beloved son, but as they say, the deeper the love, the greater the hate. Shui Yechen was in real pain from the spanking.

In the end, Shui Yechen had no choice but to surrender and beg for mercy. Although it was embarrassing, it wasn't too shameful to surrender and beg for mercy from his own Mom.

"Do you dare to do it again next time?" Qing Yin raised her hand and asked.

"N...no, I won't dare..."

Looking at her trembling son, Qing Yin also felt sorry for him. She gently rubbed his back, her warmth pressing against him as she whispered in his ear, "Alright, as long as you understand your mistake. Don't compare me to other women anymore, don't use disrespectful words towards me, got it?"

"Okay...I got it."

"Alright, understanding your mistake is good, but I can't just let you off like this. Stand up, go to Mom's room, and kneel in front of the mirror for two hours!" Qing Yin's words were warm, yet strict.

Qing Yin led Shui Yechen to her own boudoir. The room was decorated in a feminine style, with a scent filling the air. In front of the mirror at the head of the bed, there was a blanket.

Shui Yechen had come to hate this blanket because every time he made a mistake, he had to kneel here as punishment. It was placed here because Qing Yin had to monitor him and prevent him from slacking off!

After the storm of spanking, Shui Yechen had lost the courage to resist. Now, he could only awkwardly kneel in front of the mirror, feeling an extreme sense of shame.

Meanwhile, Qing Yin began to leisurely apply makeup in front of her vanity.

"What? Mom is actually putting on makeup?" Shui Yechen found it strange. Mom was naturally beautiful and didn't need makeup. It was already past 8 o'clock at night, why did she suddenly want to start putting on makeup?

Somehow, Shui Yechen was very worried about Qing Yin putting on makeup at night.
