Chapter 24 - 24. The Punishment II

Xiao Bai POV

The Creator opened the barrier and everything was back to normal. We went back to our previous positions before the barrier opened so it won't be suspicious. But I couldn't stop my tears.

The Creator: " While you are in there, I will help you watch the earth. Then let's depart."

Hei An & Sheng Jie: " Yes master."

The Fallen God is a very scary place for the gods. The room is very spacious, there are only big chains tied on every corner. The room have seals so gods can't use their power and ability, so basically they became like a human.

Master and that guy was holding hand all the way here.

The Creator: " Then say what you want to each other."

They looked at each other and smiled.

Hei An: " I will definitely find you in the next life."

Sheng Jie: " Uhm! You will. And promise me something."

Hei An: " Whatever Sheng Jie wants."

Sheng Jie: " Don't go berserk no matter what happens or I will never talk to you again."

Hei An: " Hahaha, if I don't talk with my Sheng Jie, I will go crazy. Ok, I promise."

They linked their fingers and kissed. Even though it was short, the feeling will last forever. They separated and went to their own room. Before they enter, they looked at each other for the last time. They smiled and waved to each other. Then they entered the room.

The chains immediately catch them and pull them to the center of the room. I watched master from a room that was separated by a glass. Master can't see me from there but I can clearly see and hear her.

Sheng Jie: " Xiao Bai, if I scream too loud, close your hearing sense. If I look so ugly, close your eyes. If you can't hold it anymore, leave this place. Wait for me in our bedroom, one day I will come back home. And please take care of Hei An for me."

I cried and screamed.

Xiao Bai: " Master! Please think about yourself! Stop thinking about me when you are the one who got hurt! Please… I beg you…"

Sheng Jie: " Hahaha, maybe you are saying ' aye, master'. I want to look at your cute face."

I can't say anything, I can only cry.

Sheng Jie: " Xiao Ba- AGGGGHHHHHHH"

I was shocked by master's scream. I immediately looked up and banged the glass.

Xiao Bai: " MASTER! MASTER! PLEASE STOP! YOU ARE HURTING MY MASTER! PLEASE! I BEG YOU! JUST TAKE MY LIFE AWAY!"

I kowtowed to no one, I just hope that the Creator would come and release master from there. I kowtowed until my forehead was covered in blood, I could even see my skull from the reflection. It will heal in a minute, but master will be tortured for 25 thousand years.

Sheng Jie: " AAGGGGHHHHHHH, XIAO BAI! CLOSE YOUR HEARING SENSE! AGGGHHHH"

'Master, why do have to be so kind?' I closed my hearing sense and squatted at one of the corners. I hugged my knees and cried.

Master is very strong, she never make any sound if she got hurt. But she screamed really loud right now. How could she not scream?! The punishment is insane! The room is filled with evil charm. From what master told me before, your head feels like they are splitting. Our veins feel like there are needles flowing inside, all of your bones will feel like being crushed to powder, your eyes feel like being gouged out, and there are thousands of sword stabbing through your body. Actually this was a punishment for the gods that broke the rules. But my kind master is in there. Tortured for falling in love.

5 thousand years later

Hei An POV

" AAGGGGHHHHH" 'it hurts! Sheng Jie! She is hurting too! Sheng Jie!'

All this time, I only think about Sheng Jie. When I was prepared for the next attack, the chains suddenly released me. The door slowly opened, my body still hurts but if I walk out from here, I can see Sheng Jie again. I wobbled around and held on the wall to walk. After I passed the door, I felt my powers came back to me.

But when I looked around, I don't see anyone. Suddenly I heard a creaking sound, the door has opened! But why is it the small one? Why is it Xiao Bai? Where is Sheng Jie? Why does Xiao Bai look so battered? I had a bad feeling. I went to Xiao Bai and shook her body.

Hei An: " Where is your master?!"

Her tears poured down. I started to get suspicious.

Hei An: " How long have I been in there?"

She grabbed my hands and pulled me into the room that she came out from. And I regretted that I followed her in.

Sheng Jie: " AGGGHHHHHH"

I was shocked. Her limbs were tied by the chains. She struggled and another scream came out again. " AGGGHHHH" Her scream woke me up. I banged on the glass, I used my power to break the glass but it won't work.

Hei An: " SHENG JIE! SHENG JIE! WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING THERE?! HELP YOUR MASTER! SHENG JIE! HOLD ON! I WILL HELP YOU OUT!"

Xiao Bai: " IT IS USELESS!"

Xiao Bai shouted. I slowly turn around.

Xiao Bai: " i-it is useless, I have tried for 5 thousand years. M-master told me to explain it to you."

Hei An: " THEN F*CKING EXPLAIN IT!"

Xiao Bai: " M-master begged the Creator to take 10 thousand years of your punishment. At that time, the Creator put a barrier so you won't hear us. A-and master wanted me to tell you something."

Hei An: " w-what did she say?"

I was too shocked that stuttered.

Xiao Bai: " Close your eyes when you found her, she didn't want you to abandon her because she would look ugly at that time. And she asked me to take care of you."

I slowly look at Sheng Jie. She took the punishment for me. I knew how painful it was. She is suffering because of me. I felt my power starting to boil up.

Xiao Bai

I was crying when I noticed that the ground was shaking. I looked up and saw that he was enveloped in dark aura. His tears flowed down his face. The tattoo on his body started to spread around his body. He is going to go berserk!

Xiao Bai: " REMEMBER YOUR PROMISE!"

Hei An: " I don't care. I can't see her suffering in there. You don't know how painful it is because you never felt it."

Xiao Bai: " Master will be disappointed if she saw you like this! Do you know why she took the punishment in your stead? Because she loves you so much. She thought that she owed you! She thought that she stole all the love from you! She thought that it was because of her that you were lonely! Don't you understand?! She sacrificed for you. She was thinking of repaying you with this. And if you go berserk because of her, all of her effort will be wasted! You won't pass the test that was given by that Creator!"

His aura slowly start to weaken.

Hei An: " Then I will ask The Creator to give me back the punishment."

He turned around and walk towards the door. I immediately grabbed his hand.

Xiao Bai: " No! I asked but he said that he promised Master."

His hand flopped down.

Hei An: " sheng jie…"

He looked at the glass and weakly called Master's name.
