Chapter 23 - 23. The Punishment

Xiao Bai Pov

And since then, Master frequently went to that guy's palace to play. I can clearly see that he had fell in love with master. It is so obvious, he hugged and cuddled her every time they met. And his pet always hangs around with me, we started to get attracted to each other. We are dating but we take it slowly. On the other side, finally after 500 years, Master realized his feeling and accepted him. I am happy if master is happy but I got a bad feeling about this.

50 years later, the Creator appeared in heaven. He summoned that guy and that guy suddenly appeared beside Master. He was confused because he is prohibited from entering the heaven. But after he saw the Creator, he immediately kneeled.

The Creator solemnly looked at them, he sighed.

The Creator: " Do you know what have you done?"

Hei An: " No Master."

The Creator: " What did you just say?"

Hei An: " I don't know what I did to anger you Master."

The Creator: " Sheng Jie, do you know what have you done?"

Sheng Jie: " Master, please forgive this servant for being frank but I think to love someone is not a sin. I love Hei An as much as I love you as a father. So please grant this servant's wish just this once, please let us love each other."

The Creator: " I never said that love is a sin. but can you prove that you truly love each other?"

Hei An & Sheng Jie: " Yes master"

The Creator threw a sword in front of Sheng Jie. The aura in the sword is as strong as the Creator.

The Creator: " I created you, I can kill you too. This sword can kill an immortal. So, Sheng Jie, I want you to choose. Kill me or him? If you don't kill me, I will kill him. But if you don't kill him, I will die. Now choose."

Master grabbed the sword and stared at it. I have a bad feeling. Master lifted up the sword and pointed it at herself. Blood splattered, the sword stabbed through her stomach.

Hei An: " SHENG JIE!"

But master used her power to stop him. Master kneeled in front of the Creator with sword in her stomach.

Sheng Jie: " I can't choose. *cough cough."

The Creator: " So that is your decision."

The Creator swept his hand and all the blood disappeared. Even the sword is gone, just like nothing happened.

The Creator: " this is too easy for you two."

I glared at the Creator. Just what did he want from them?!

The Creator: " Then I will give you two tests, the first one is you two have to be in Fallen God for 30 thousand years."

Xiao Hei & Xiao Bai: " N-"

Before we could say anything, Master sealed both of our voice. We kept screaming and begging for forgiveness but there is no sound that can be heard. I cried and tried to run to Master's side but Xiao Hei hold me back. I can see tears in his eyes, he is sad for his master too. But this is their test, we can't do anything about that. I stopped struggling but I can't stop my tears.

The Creator: " And the second test is you will be reincarnated and you have to love each other in that life. I will put many obstacles for you so try your best."

Third person POV

The Creator swept his hand and a barrier appeared. All movement stopped except the Creator and Sheng Jie. The creator looked at Sheng Jie.

The Creator: " What is it that you want to tell me, my child?"

Sheng Jie glanced at the kneeling Hei An.

The Creator: " Don't worry, he can't hear us."

Sheng Jie: " Can you please let Xiao Bai listen to our conversation?"

The Creator: " Why?"

Sheng Jie: " I want her to tell Hei An what will happen to me, or else he will wreck a havoc."

The Creator: " Fine."

The Creator opened the barrier for Xiao Bai but she still can't speak because of Sheng Jie's seal.

The Creator: " Now say what you want."

Sheng Jie: " Please let me take 10 thousand years of his punishment." (30 thousand years of punishment, 15 thousand years each)

The Creator: " Are you crazy?! Do you know how painful the punishment will be right? Do you love him that much?"

Sheng Jie: " Yes, I love him that much that I think I'm crazy."

The Creator kept sighing.

The Creator: " But why?!"

But Sheng Jie smiled at him

Sheng Jie: " Because he had been suffering all this time because of me. He is lonely because of me, I took all the love from the gods and the people. I owed him."

The Creator: " You know why I do this right?"

Sheng Jie: " Yes master."

The Creator: " You are an immortal, if he betrayed your love, you will suffer for eternity. I love you as my own daughter, why do you have to be so kind to him? Never mind, you've made up your mind. But if he ever made you cry, I will definitely kill him and I will erase your memory about him."

Sheng Jie smiled brightly at the Creator.

The Creator: " How can you smile in this kind of situation?"

Sheng Jie: " Hehehe, I love you too father." ( not biological)

The Creator: "Humph!"

Sheng Jie turned around and walked toward Xiao Bai. She hugged Xiao Bai and patted her head.

( they changed into human)

Xiao Bai POV

' Master! Master! Please don't leave me!' But nothing came out from my mouth. I cried in her embrace. Why does it have to be like this?! Master stroked my hair.

Sheng Jie: " Shh shh shh, it is okay. I will only leave for a while. Don't cry okay? You have become this big but still cries like a baby."

' Even at this time, Master only think about other people. Why you never think about yourself?!' I lightly hit Master's back. My tears pouring out.

Sheng Jie: " Hahaha, you still want to play? I will play with you later okay? But you have to do something for me."

Master pulled me off from the hug and looked at me seriously.

Sheng Jie: " After 5 thousand years, Hei An will be released from the punishment. No matter what don't let him find me. If he saw my appearance, he will not love me anymore. I will be very ugly at that time. Hahaha. And if he's going to go berserk, call the creator with the chant that I had taught you. Do you understand?"

I looked at Master and nodded my head. She even tried to make a joke at this time? I looked at the Creator and he noticed, I pointed my mouth. He released Master's seal. I kowtowed.

Xiao Bai: " Grandmaster, I have a request. Please let me accompany my Master. I can't leave her alone, she is always very clumsy. I-I will get worried if I am not b-by her side."

I can't help but stutter.

The Creator: " Alright, I really appreciate your loyalty to her. You can follow her to the Fallen God but you can't take the punishment for her."

Xiao Bai: " Y-yes, grandmaster."

I turned around and hugged master.

Xiao Bai: " Masterrr! Please always remember me! No! I will follow you even if you forget about me! I will never ever leave your side!"

Sheng Jie: " Yes yes, I heard you. No need to shout like that. And Xiao Bai."

She pulled me off again and looked at my face. She wiped my tears with her hand and smiled. She put her forehead on mine.

Sheng Jie: " Don't cry Xiao Bai, I will always be with you."

And she kissed my forehead.
