But it’s okay, I have another punishment called stick punishment, which is similar, so I’m sure you won’t mind, right?" Xu Ke asked,

in his eyes, Xu Ke pretended to have an epiphany and said, "I forgot, you might not know what stick punishment is. It’s very simple: you take a stick and thrust it through your mouth, like roasting a pig,
