Myth Beyond Heaven

The sea of golden flame gradually receded, leaving a scorching ground behind. Lynn ignored all the potential dangers and quickly rushed to find Yun Lintian with her people.

When they arrived at the small hill razed into charcoal, Lynn saw Yun Lintian sit on his knees and holding Xia Yao in his arms. There was no injury on his body, but he was shrouded with a gloomy despair aura, as though he was abandoned by the world.

Lynn took a step forward and suddenly noticed Xia Yao's current state. Her entire body shook violently as she covered her mouth in shock. "How could it be…."

Her mind was in a mess. She didn't know what to do or say at this moment. As someone who loved Yun Lintian, she was well aware of how important Xia Yao was to him. 

Both of them had grown up as childhood sweethearts. While Xia Yao was an orphan, Yun Lintian was not much different. Although he had a father, he was often left alone. Whenever his father returned, he would force Yun Lintian to train. That was why the relationship between them wasn't good.

Xia Yao was like a brilliant moonlight shining into his dark and lonely world. She was the one and only woman he cared about the most… And now she was gone.

"Sister…" Lei Hao arrived at the scene with the help of Lynn's people. His lips shook as he stared at the lifeless Xia Yao. Tears involuntarily flowed out from his eyes, and his mind started to collapse. 

To him, Xia Yao was like a blood-related older sister. She was far more important than his life. He blamed himself for not preventing her from chasing after Yun Lintian earlier. Otherwise, the result wouldn't be like this.

Sadly, there was no 'if' in this world…

Lynn took several deep breaths before stepping forward and saying. "Lintian… we should move now."

Yun Lintian didn't react. His vacant eyes stared blankly at Xia Yao's face without blinking. It was as if his soul had already left his body. His current appearance was no different from a wooden statue.

Lynn felt her heart was pierced by a sharp knife. She could feel the pain and despair Yun Lintian had at the moment just by looking at him. She carefully reached her hand out to touch Yun Lintian's shoulder and said softly. "Let's send her home, shall we?"

Yun Lintian's pupils quivered slightly. A clarity slowly returned to his mind. He looked at Xia Yao again and lowered his head, kissing her cold lips… He wished this kiss would last forever…

***

Tears continued to flow down on Yun Lintian's cheeks while smiling. This smile of him was completely different from before. It was a smile that belonged to the woman before him alone.

"During these years, I've tried my best to live well as you told me. You see, I read a lot of novels and even opened a fried-rice stall that we are dreaming of." Yun Lintian said softly as he looked at the illusory Xia Yao before him. "As for revenge, I never looked for it even once. Your husband is good, isn't he? I did everything I promised you back then."

Xia Yao smiled without saying a word. However, the meaning in her eyes was evident. She was relieved to see Yun Lintian living well during this period.

Yun Lintian wiped the tears out of his cheeks and said helplessly. "Unfortunately, they didn't let me go." He laughed slightly and continued. "You can't blame me on this, you know? It's not that I'm looking for trouble, but trouble found me instead."

A worried expression appeared on Xia Yao's illusory face. Her lips moved a few times as though she wanted to say something, but no sound came out in the end.

Yun Lintian shook his head gently. "You don't have to worry about me… Soon… Soon, I'll be with you."

Xia Yao shook her head anxiously. She grabbed his hand tightly, trying to express her disagreement.

Yun Lintian smiled and said softly. "I'm tired. I don't want to live in the world without you anymore… Can you let me rest here with you?"

Xia Yao was about to express something. Her complexion suddenly changed as she looked over Yun Lintian's shoulder. Her body gradually faded away and disappeared from Yun Lintian's sight as if nothing had appeared here before.

Behind him was no other than Ross and his people. They had just arrived here after cautiously following Yun Lintian.

"Nowhere to run now?" Ross stepped forward and pointed his gun at Yun Lintian. His gaze swept around the place in puzzlement. He didn't understand why Yun Lintian chose to come here instead of running away.

However, when his gaze landed on the jade tombstone in front of Yun Lintian, he immediately recalled Xia Yao, Yun Lintian's most beloved woman, was buried here.

"So you come here to see your ghost lover for one last time?" Ross let out a ridiculous sneer. "Oh well. If I remember correctly. She died in my Senior Sin's hand, didn't she?"

The smile on Yun Lintian's face gradually disappeared and was replaced with an icy cold expression. He slowly turned around to face Ross and said coldly. "Did you miss him?… Don't worry. I will send you to meet with your beloved senior soon."

Ross grinned wickedly. "With just you? Even God is here. You won't be able to escape death today." Before this, he wasn't confident as Yun Lintian was too tricky. However, this place was an open space. Even if Yun Lintian had ten lives, he wouldn't be able to escape with several guns aiming at him.

"Are you sure?" Yun Lintian asked with a faint smile.

Ross frowned slightly as he looked around again to ensure there was no trap around here. "Do you think you can deceive us with such a naïve trick?"

Yun Lintian shook his head slightly. "No, no. I'm not trying to play any trick here… Didn't you just say even God is here, I won't be able to escape today?"

"What do you mean?" Ross frowned deeper.

A grin appeared on Yun Lintian's face as he said. "What I mean is that… The god you are talking about is standing before you right now." 

Instantaneously, burning golden light emerged in the depth of Yun Lintian's eyes, and his figure disappeared from the spot!
