Out of the human realm....
Yao Yao went to report to shi Yi, the high god about what Lin Yi had done. And as expected, shi Yi was very angry that the king had dared go against his order.
Even if Lin Yi was still the king, shi Yi was ten times powerful than him and was higher that him.
Yao yao, the gossiper she was, made sure to report everything to shi Yi without omitting their discussions and how yi ran had persuaded her husband to make Xue Lin's life better. Yao Yao had always hated xue Lin, she wanted nothing but to get rid of her and now that Lin Yi had helped xue Lin out of her predicament, Yao yao chose to report so as to get back at them for insulting her.
Shi Yi went to visit Lin Yi without telling him that he was coming, as soon as he entered the castle, the maids and everyone rushed to receive him but due to the cold and deadly aura surrounding him which was making them feel suffocated, they backed off from him.
"Your majesty, I want to have a talk with you and don't forget to tag your wife along" He spoke and went to the verandah, waking majestically as if he owned the heavens.
Lin Yi and Yi ran quickly went to meet him because they knew that the raging beast would surely explode if they delayed him. "You seek for our presence my lord" Yi ran stated as she bowed her head and Lin Yi did the same.
"Seems like I have been lenient with you Lin Yi, you now have the power to do whatever you like without informing me" He uttered coldly with his arms at his back and his back facing them to show how serious he was.
"My lord, I don't know what you are talking about, please elaborate on it" Lin Yi requested but he heard the devilish chuckle that escaped shi yi's mouth.
"You don't know?, how about me showing you Xue Lin's position, is this how I left her, who made her life better?" He demanded and when Lin Yi was about to talk, Yi ran suddenly spoke on behalf of her husband, she knew that whenever shi Yi was this angry, he can destroy everywhere.
"I did" Yi ran spoke and shi yi's lips curved a bit and he turned to face them, eyes blazing with rage as he stared back at the fragile woman, if he unleash his powers on her, God knows that even a bone of her's won't be found.
"Aye, you did?, since when did I tell you to handle things on my behalf?" He inquired and there was a long silence before the woman finally found her tongue.
"I-I-t was only to make her life better, she has suffered enough don't you think it's time we take her back? she must have learnt her mistakes" Yi ran proposes but the next moment, she felt something hit across her face at such lightning speed and she knew the slap came from shi Yi. He was totally displeased that she was telling him what to do. Yi ran who had never received that kind of slap, felt something ringing in her ears and then her legs slowly gave away and she fell on the ground.
Lin Yi bent hastily as he shook his wife but sje didn't respond, he clenched his fist as he gritted his teeth in anger. What shi Yi had done angered him and he wants nothing more that to punish this man in front of him.
"Aye, what's with that look Lin Yi, don't tell me you want to fight with me because of this thing...I came here to give you and this wife of yours a warning, next time any of you try meddling in my affairs or do something I told you not to...You are gonna get it from me, and I'll make sure to deal with you until there's no speck of dust of you remaining"
"You should know your place shi Yi, being powerful doesn't mean you should be stupid, why the hell did you hit her when you can face me?" Lin Yi asked angrily, that was the first time that he had ever spoken to shi Yi in such menacing tone that made shi Yi's eyebrows raised and his lips curved into that sly smirk.
"You think I'm afraid to face you, never will I be, Lin Yi don't forget your place and don't try crossing your boundary again because next time...You won't even see her alive" He said pointing at Yi ran who was still laying unconscious on the ground.
"Who told you all this?...it's Yao yao Right?" Lin Yi asked but then shi Yi didn't reply to him.
"I only came here to warn you" Shi Yi stated before disappearing into thin air. Lin Yi stared at the place where the stupid man had left then his gaze fell on his wife, he bent swiftly as he carried her in his arms and walked away.
Lin Yi vowed in his mind to confront Yao Yao as soon as he came across her, why would she go to report to shi Yi about their discussion, he thought the heavens was a place with no sins. But then someone was gossiping and that gossiping too is a sin in the heaven.
Shi Yi didn't do anything about it when Yao Yao came to reveal all their discussions to shi Yi and that angered Lin Yi. He swore that no matter what had happened, he would only listen to his wife, she was the only pure being whom he could trust. Those warnings that shi Yi just gave now fell on deaf ears.
If his wife Yi ran tells him to go right, he would never go left even if it is what shi Yi wanted.
"I'm sorry Yi ran, for my inability to protect you from that beast, I didn't see it coming I'm sorry" Lin Yi pleaded again as he shook his wife and then finally she woke up, tears falling from her eyes and she hugged her husband tightly.
"I will never do it again Lin Yi, i will always listen to you, if not for me you would have gotten into trouble" His wife, Yi ran said.
"You have done nothing wrong yi ran, you're just kind and that's what I love about you, I also think it's time Xue Lin comes back but shi Yi is adamant, he doesn't want to forgive xue Lin and I thought one of the rules of the heavens was to always forgive no matter the heinous crime the person had committed but now shi Yi doesn't want to forgive xue Lin and I know Yao Yao has something to do with it" Lin Yi spoke and Yi ran clenched her fist when she heard her husband mention Yao Yao had something to do with it.
"Calm down Yi ran, I'll take care of everything, you trust me don't you?" He asked.
"Mn. I trust you" She replied as she hugged him again and he hugged her back.
