Heiye's face was full of grateful devotion.
"Mm, I watched you grow up. I treat you like my own child, and I hope you can live up to that.
"Don't hold a grudge about the punishment I gave you during the day.
"I punished you to intimidate the others in Jing Niao City. To you and me, they're all slaves in the end. Dealing with these lackeys requires both kindness and severity; only if I punish you will they fear you even more.
"Do you understand?"
Cang Ji continued.
Su Yue looked thoroughly depressed:
Understand your damn ass.
You're just lazy, that's all. Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and Heiye became that chicken.

Su Yue muttered outside the wall.
