38 Eager to cause trouble II

"Correct." Yin confirmed, which made Yang satisfied of his own deductive ability.

"It seems like you do have a brain larger than a gold fish." She continued.

"What did you say?" Yang exclaimed in protest and blocked her path in order to prevent her from leaving.

"I just gave you a compliment. Show some appreciation, will you?" The Ice God responded nonchalantly while taking a step to the side.

"Compliment?! I think it's more like an insult." He said as he halted her movements with his right arm.

The offended look on his face caused Yin to smirk within. The arrogant man was really too fun to provoke that she couldn't help herself. Of course, she showed none of her true thoughts on the outside.

"I think you have mistaken. If that was the meaning behind my words, it would have been an insult to the poor goldfish." She tilted her head and continued in an innocent tone.

Yin put her hands on his arm and pushed lightly, but it was so rigid that it didn't move from its place in the air. His right hand had now formed a fist who shook as if he tried to contain himself from exploding.

"You-!" He pointed at her with his left index finger and tried his best to not act out. His body vibrated in anger.

"Move will you? I have been away for over 200 years. It's time to go home and see my parents." She said as she stared ahead and awaited his withdrawal.

"What am I witnessing? After having escaped the death penalty but endured the living punishment, the Fire God Yang is still eager to cause trouble?" A sturdy, masculine voice sounded out.

Yin froze while Yang's eyes widened in shock. Immediately, they turned around, coupled their hands and kept their gaze at their own feet as they bowed.

"Greetings, your Majesty." Both of them responded while they registered footsteps approaching.

"How does it feel to be an immortal again, Fire God?"

The Celestial Emperor didn't bother to pardon them from their greetings, which caused the young Gods to keep bending their backs and observing the ends of the Emperor's dragon robe. The way was truly uncomfortable, but they couldn't really complain about it.

Because of the oppressive aura that the Emperor released, Yang stuttered as he replied.

"G-good, your Majesty."

"Then how come you seem so eager to descend again?" A hint of evil could be interpreted from the Celestial Emperor's suggestive question.

"N-no, not at all, your Majesty. You must have mistaken. I-I was just joking with the Ice God Yin. Nothing else." The Fire God forced out in panic.
