Chapter 308: Interlude - The Goddess’s Indulgence (3)

Smack!

A clear sound echoed in the air.

Even though Vega wore a dress, the thin fabric couldn’t possibly hide the feeling of her skin, which had swollen like a tasty peach.

“

Hmmph!

” Vega closed her eyes tightly and trembled.

An indescribable plump softness met Kwon Oh-Jin’s palm.

Vega’s face flushed with shame.

What is this?

Kwon Oh-Jin’s heart began to beat wildly as he lightly slapped her bottom after her request to be punished.

Thump, thump.

It felt like stepping into new territory.

Kwon Oh-Jin closed his eyes tightly and urgently shook his head.

No, no, no, I shouldn’t.

No matter how many different preferences existed in the world, he never realized that such a ridiculous, sinful desire lay deep within him.

“

A-Ahem,

that should do, right?” Kwon Oh-Jin coughed unnecessarily and averted his gaze.

Vega looked back at him with pleading eyes. “A-Are you done already?”

“One hit is enough.”

“I-It's not enough! You could have lost your life!” Vega complained that he hadn’t punished her enough yet.

This is crazy.

Kwon Oh-Jin muttered to himself in his head and gave a small nod.

“Okay, then I’ll only hit you five times.”

He wouldn't be able to control himself if he didn't set a number beforehand.

Kwon Oh-Jin took a deep breath and raised his hand. He had grown stronger after his body’s reconstruction, so he had to be careful with how much pressure he applied.

I hope it doesn't hurt too much.

That didn’t mean there wouldn’t be any impact at all. He needed just enough to make it tingle.

With delicate concentration, he swung his arm.

A clear sound echoed through the tent.

Smack!

It sounded quite loud, but didn't cause much pain due to the delicate control of his strength. Rather, was it accurate to call this pain?

Vega squeezed her eyes shut and faintly groaned. “

Nngh!

”

That’s one.

Kwon Oh-Jin swallowed dryly and quickly swung his arm.

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

One after another, Vega gasped for air with each strike and moaned.

The feeling on Kwon Oh-Jin’s hand felt out of this world. He could see Vega looking away, flushed with embarrassment.

And the last one.

Smack!

With a crystal clear sound, the punishment ended with the fifth spank.

Vega let out a hot breath and muttered, “

Haaa

. I-I'm sorry for asking for such a vulgar favor.”

Despite being filled with shame, she somehow looked satisfied.

The desire that had been dormant deep inside Kwon Oh-Jin burned as strongly as oil being poured on fire.

I have to hold back.

However, some things in the world couldn't be solved by enduring. This was one of them.

Smack!

“

Hhngh...!

” Vega’s eyes widened at the unexpected impact, and she shuddered.

The stinging on her butt had intensified compared to before.

She turned around with a panicked expression. “M-My child?”

Kwon Oh-Jin raised his arm, his eyes bloodshot red. “Did you think you could be forgiven with only five spanks?”

“B-But you said you'd only slap five—”

“I lied.”

With a flip of his hand, he delivered the seventh punishment. This time, he used slightly more force than the previous ones.

That’s right. I’ll have to show her for real this time. Maybe then my goddess will come to her senses and never ask for such a strange favor again.

This was for Vega's sake. What if someone else saw her like this? It was better to give her a stinging taste of it this time, so she wouldn't do it again.

Smack!

Perhaps because he added more force, Vega let out a slightly higher-pitched scream and flinched. She crossed her legs as if being tickled.

“You're not enjoying this, are you?” Kwon Oh-Jin asked.

“N-No!” She desperately shook her head, but it wasn't hard to notice the heat in her golden eyes.

Kwon Oh-Jin stared down at her with a cold glare. “Are you lying to me?”

Vega swallowed hard and met his icy gaze. A strange sense of anticipation filled her eyes.

“I-I'm sorry. Actually, a little... I-It felt just a little good!”

“I thought I was giving you punishment.”

“T-That’s...”

“If it feels good, it doesn't count as a punishment, does it?”

“

Umm

.” Vega shamefully averted her gaze.

The goddess blushed as tears streamed down her face.

Kwon Oh-Jin heard something snap in his head.

Ah

.

“If this is a punishment...” Kwon Oh-Jin raised his arm. “It’s not supposed to feel good!”

With more force, he slapped her bottom.

Smack!

Vega jerked up along with the sound of a club hitting wet leather.

“

Aaah!

I-I’m sorry!” Vega said.

“Wasn't it you who said you should be punished for doing wrong?”

Having been ignited, Kwon Oh-Jin’s desire overtook his reason with almost laughable ease. Swept up in the mood, he proceeded to punish Vega's butt.

“F-Forgive me, my child!”

“No.”

Vega desperately begged for forgiveness. He hadn’t physically restrained her. She could have avoided it, but remained still.

You shameful goddess!

Kwon Oh-Jin excitedly raised his arm once more. Just as he prepared to slap her bottom again, Riarc’s angry shout rang out like thunder.

“You bastard! What do you think you’re doing to Lady Vega?!”

Vega and Kwon Oh-Jin looked at Riarc, who had suddenly burst in with a stunned expression.

“

Huh?

”

“R-Riarc? W-Why are you—?”

Before Vega could finish her question, Riarc lunged at Kwon Oh-Jin with bloodshot eyes.

“How dare you do that to Lady Vega?!”

Kwon Oh-Jin hastily wrapped lightning around his arm to block the incoming punch.

Boom!

“

Kugh!

”

A heavy shock resonated through his forearm and shook him to the core. It felt more like a battering ram striking him than a fist.

Kwon Oh-Jin flew out of the tent and into the air.

Song Ha-Eun and Isabella, who had been sleeping in the other tent, rushed over in alarm.

“W-What the hell?!” Song Ha-Eun exclaimed.

“What’s going on?!” Isabelled asked in a panic.

Without so much as glancing at the two women, Riarc charged at Kwon Oh-Jin like a wild beast.

“S-Stop!” Vega shouted.

“Please step aside, Lady Vega.” Riarc fiercely glared at Vega, who stood in his way. “I know that wretch is blackmailing you by using your weakness.”

“W-Weakness? Blackmail? What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Don’t deny it! I saw it with my own two eyes!” Riarc sharply pointed at Kwon Oh-Jin on the ground. “That kid was laying his hands on your sacred body!”

Song Ha-Eun and Isabella narrowed their eyes at Vega and Kwon Oh-Jin.

“What?”

“What do you mean by that...?”

With a scoff, Riarc turned toward the two women.

“Inside the tent, that kid hurled disgraceful words at Lady Vega and even struck her!”

Their gazes turned cold as they silently looked at Kwon Oh-Jin.

Vega frantically shook her head and desperately tried to defend him. “T-That’s not it! My child has done nothing wrong! I-It was... it was I who asked for it!”

“Lady Vega, you asked for it? What do you mean by that?” Riarc asked.

“W-Well... to receive punishment.”

“Punishment? What could you have possibly done wrong to ask to be punished?” Riarc firmly shook his head, clearly not believing a word of it. “Even if you did do something wrong, Lady Vega, there’s no reason for you to beg for forgiveness while being struck by some kid!”

The idea of a mere human spanking a North Star Celestial like a child wasn’t just unthinkable. It was absolutely unacceptable.

Even among humans in the past, nobles of high rank would often have a servant take their punishment in their stead when they made a mistake.

A Celestial, a transcendent being who governed and protected the world, being punished directly because she supposedly did something wrong was completely absurd.

“T-That’s...!” Vega bit her lip, her face turning so red that it could explode.

There was no point trying to explain any further since Riarc wouldn’t believe her.

“Move aside, Lady Vega. I’m going to beat that arrogant kid—”

“I-I asked him because I liked it!” Vega blurted out the truth with her eyes tightly shut.

She had no choice.

“What...?” Riarc stared at Vega with wide eyes in disbelief.

“B-Because I-I liked being s-spanked! I a-asked Oh-Jin to do it!”

Riarc’s face twisted. “You’re telling me... that was something you asked for?”

“Y-Yes.”

“You’re saying having that kid spank you is something that feels good to you?”

“T-That’s...!” Vega tried to come up with something to say, but closed her eyes instead and muttered barely audibly, “Y-Yes. I liked it so I asked him to spank me.”

Vega hung her head, her face flushed to the brink of bursting.

Riarc bared his teeth angrily and stomped. “You expect me to believe that?!”

Light spanking as a form of soft play wasn’t unheard of in the human world. To Riarc, who was completely clueless about such things, he found this excuse impossible to accept.

“I-I’m not lying!”

“Are you telling me!” Riarc shouted, “That you, Lady Vega, willingly let that kid spank you? And you humiliated yourself by begging for forgiveness all because you wanted iiiiiiitt?!”

“S-Stop! Stop talking!” Vega shouted and rushed toward Riarc in a panic.

Song Ha-Eun and Isabella, somewhat more familiar with that kind of play than Riarc, avoided Vega’s eyes as they blushed.

“

Uh, mmm

.”

“I-I see. That’s the kind of thing you’re into,” Isabella said.

That was the final blow.

“

Ah

.”

Overwhelmed by shame and humiliation, all of Vega’s reason crumbled.

“I-I...

hic!

I was wrong. It's all my fault... S-So, please, just stop already...”

Tears streamed down Vega’s face as she fell to the ground.
