Just like that, the Pangouve Realm Investigation Team was formed. It was led by Rotediya and the Flame Dragon Knights, with the participation of other nations and organizations. It was the largest investigation team in human history, with the largest number of members. The team consisted of elites from all walks of life, such as sorcerers, clerics, scholars, and beast-tamers. Even the Warrior's Association sent someone to take charge of the team's security. Baiyi was appointed as a special advisor with no real power, but no one could control his actions.
Even the Church did not send anyone to spy on him. Even the dragon knights were trusted by the Church. This was not hard to understand. Spy on Baiyi? That would mean that the Church did not trust a highly respected master, a hero who had just saved Isythre, and a close friend of Saint Joel. How stupid could the Church be to do something like this?
Regardless, this was the beginning of the grand investigation. Teams of investigators were sent to every corner of Gouve. Following Baiyi's lead, they mainly monitored the temperature, wind, humidity, and other obvious indicators. When they confirmed that the daily temperature difference did not change, as Baiyi had said, they investigated everything they could find.
In the end, they came to the conclusion that the temperature difference was a phenomenon that existed in the entire realm, but other than that, they did not find anything else that was out of place. The cause of the anomaly was still a mystery. There were many theories, but they were still in the process of theorizing and debating.
In reality, they had come up with nothing. On the other hand, there were a few teams that discovered metal veins on some of the more remote floating islands. That was a pleasant surprise.
Baiyi, on the other hand, had yet to make any progress. The Laws were too abstruse, and the Voidwalkers were at their wits' end. They had even argued a few times, but none of them could come up with an effective solution. Some of the Voidwalkers even began to suspect that the War God was toying with them.
Baiyi did not think that the War God would be so bored as to crack a joke like this. If he did, he would definitely give her a good beating. Baiyi's patience was not lacking, so he continued to bring Aya out with him every day for a week. The sight of Aya and Baiyi acting like a couple in love had spread like wildfire among the dragon knights. Some even began to wonder if Baiyi was going to marry into Aya's family. Could a Soul Armature and a dragon give birth to a baby?
Baiyi, of course, ignored the rumors. Aya, on the other hand, looked distressed. She wanted to refute the rumors a few times, but for some reason, she gave up in the end.
Objectively speaking, Baiyi was a mature, steady, mysterious, and powerful man, and a young dragon-lady like Aya was quite attracted to him. Although the two of them did not have much to talk about when they were out, Baiyi's profound knowledge and incisive words, coupled with his occasional hints and teasing, easily earned him some Favorability Points.
Of course, it was just a favorable impression. Otherwise, Aya wouldn't be bothered by those rumors.
Aya was a little frustrated, and Baiyi was a little annoyed by the long hours of futility. However, there were some people who were happy about this, such as the little ones.
Baiyi was usually very strict with them, such as skirts that were too short, clothes that were too revealing, and desserts that were too much for them to eat. Aya, on the other hand, was very strict with Mordred, who was expected to be a noblewoman in every aspect. As a result, the little ones from both families did not have a good time.
As a result, the parents of both sides were busy going out for their trysts every day, so they didn't have time to care about their children. Just in case, both of them had left a lot of pocket money for the little ones. So, after a week, this group of little ones played so much that they almost forgot what their surnames were. Almost the entire Rotetia Kingdom was left with their footprints. They visited all sorts of places to eat and play, and their beautiful new clothes could hardly be stuffed into their storage bags. Even a simple village girl like Laeticia was corrupted by them.
However, one day, when Baiyi returned home a little earlier than usual, he realized that the little ones were not home. Just as he was about to ask the maidservant about their whereabouts, a young dragon suddenly landed in the Command Headquarters' courtyard. A few dust-covered children helped Little Mia down from the dragon's back.
Baiyi walked over to have a look. Not only was Mia like a muddy monkey, but there were a few visible bruises on her arms and legs, and there was even a bloody wound on her left calf. Her face was pale from the pain, and she could not even stand straight. Tisdale and Laeticia had to support her, and the tears at the corners of her eyes had not even dried yet!
Seeing Mia's pitiful appearance, Baiyi was so angry that he almost went berserk. The anger in his heart made him lose control, and he walked toward Mia. Without saying a word, he raised his hand high, as if he was going to slap her.
Mia quickly shut her eyes and shrunk her neck, not daring to cry or make a fuss. She planned to quietly endure Baiyi's punishment.
He raised his hand high, but in the end, he put it down helplessly. He could not bear to do it.
"Mr. Hope …" Tears welled up in Mia's eyes, and she called out Baiyi's name in a small voice. She looked so pitiful.
"Sigh …" Baiyi sighed heavily. He half-knelt in front of her and examined her injuries. Fortunately, they were all superficial wounds, and there were no injuries to her muscles or bones. Then, he gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, took out a bottle of healing potion, and fed it to her.
The other girls, especially the two older ones, were like kittens that had done something wrong. They stood obediently at the side with their heads lowered, waiting for Baiyi's orders.
Baiyi turned to Aya, who had heard the news, and said, "Let's take them to a bath first." Then, he thought for a moment and added, "Do you have a feather duster? Lend it to me … "
That afternoon, the cries of the girls filled the entire Command Headquarters. The maids who were passing by stared at Baiyi's tightly shut door, wondering if the sanctimonious Master Hope had gone berserk.
Well, things were more or less clear now. After the little girls toured all the famous historical sites, they had the idea of exploring the wild. So, Mordred used her identity to call for a young dragon and brought the little ones to a floating island with a barren mountain outside to climb up and explore.
Mia had fallen and rolled down the hill, and that was how she ended up like this. Baiyi raised the feather duster high, pressed the girls on his thighs, and spanked them.
The two older ones received five hits, and the two younger ones received three hits. As for the culprit, Mordred, judging from the incessant cries coming from Aya's room upstairs, she was probably as badly hurt as the girls.
"Ughhh … Sir, I'm sorry … It hurts … I won't do it again!" Tisdale was the first to be spanked, and she was in so much pain that she was in tears.
Initially, Baiyi did not intend to hit her so hard but when Tisdale was lying on his lap, he realized that the little girl was wearing a new skirt that was especially short today. It had long exceeded the limit that he had set for her. Not only that, but after the first three hits, Tisdale did not have any reaction at all. She just lowered her head and looked at him.
He thought that he had used too much force. However, upon closer inspection, the shape of the thin skirt did not seem to be right. Tisdale's figure should not be this bad, right? Baiyi thought for a moment, and then he reached his hand into her skirt and gave it a tug. Tisdale let out a squeal, and Baiyi pulled out a bathroom towel.
'Good heavens! You know you're going to be spanked, so you put something under your skirt?' Baiyi was so angry that he used a little more force in the last two hits, and the effect was immediate.
Baiyi did not say anything. He let go of Tisdale and threw the towel aside. Then, he glanced coldly at the remaining three girls.
The three girls blushed and took out the towel from under their skirts.
"Who taught you this?" Baiyi asked coldly.
The girls did not say a word, but the Instigator's face was getting redder and redder. Baiyi turned to Laeticia and asked, "Who did you learn this from?"
"From … from the Church …" Laeticia whispered in a voice as small as a mosquito. Without needing Baiyi to urge her, she lay on Baiyi's thighs in resignation.
After another round of screams.
"Ughhh … Mr. Hope hit me so hard …" Laeticia rubbed the place where she was hit, and cried sadly.
Then, it was Attie's turn. She endured the pain and did not cry.
The last one was Mia. After drinking the healing potion, her injuries were almost healed. However, after being spanked three times, she cried out in pain, but in the end, she hugged Baiyi tightly and rubbed her face against his chest plate. "Ughhh … Mr. Hope, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. Please don't be angry, okay?"
With that, Baiyi's anger subsided a little. He called the girls to his side and handed them the potions.
"If you want to play, I'm not against it. It's fine even if you spend money, but how many times have I told you? Don't go to those dangerous places. Be careful. Be careful. Be careful. Where did you hear me?" After the physical punishment, Baiyi began to lecture them again.
It was not until dinner time that the girls were released. When they arrived at the dining room, they saw Mordred, whose eyes were red from crying.
"I'm sorry, Mia …" Mordred apologized to Mia shamefully.
"It's okay …" Mia gently held Mordred's small hand and whispered into her ear, "We were spanked by Mr. Hope too …"
"Ugh …" Mordred sobbed but did not say anything. It was just that during dinner, there was a thick cushion under her butt.
