Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 472 – Obsession (1)

"Where am I?" Yun Lintian stood dumbly in a dark space. "Is this the netherworld?"

"No, this is not the netherworld." As Yun Lintian looked around curiously, an ethereal voice suddenly drifted into his ears. 

Yun Lintian's eyes lit up as the voice was extremely familiar. He quickly turned around and saw a peerless woman smile at him.

"Yaoyao?" Yun Lintian was overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward and pulled Xia Yao into his embrace. "I finally see you again. You don't know how much I miss you."

Xia Yao nested her head on Yun Lintian's shoulder with a blissful smile on her face. However, a trace of sadness could be seen in the depth of her eyes. She had witnessed everything that had happened to Yun Lintian from the beginning to finish. If it was possible, she didn't want him to die.

Yun Lintian closed his eyes and enjoyed the long-lost feeling. He didn't care anymore, whether it was heaven or hell, as long as he could be with Xia Yao again.

The two hugged each other for a while until Xia Yao pulled herself back and said softly. "Do you know what you have done?"

Yun Lintian looked at her beautiful face and replied casually. "What did I do?"

Seeing his innocent expression, Xia Yao retorted. "You can clearly avoid them. Why did you choose to give up on your life?"

Yun Lintian smiled gently and said. "The world without you is meaningless."

Xia Yao snorted softly. "Don't try to coax me. Tell me, why?"

Yun Lintian raised his hand to touch Xia Yao's face and sighed. "I know you told me to live well, and I did it. However, I had enough of it. I might look happy on the outside, but I felt empty inside. I felt that there was no purpose for me to live on."

Xia Yao stared straight into Yun Lintian's eyes for a while. She sighed softly. "It's been hard on you."

Yun Lintian shook his head. "It's fine because I have you now."

Xia Yao shook her head with a gentle smile. "You're wrong. The me in front of you right now is not real, and I will leave soon."

Yun Lintian's complexion changed drastically. He grabbed Xia Yao's shoulders and asked anxiously. "What do you mean? Where are you going? Can I go with you?"

Xia Yao touched Yun Lintian's face and replied. "Did you remember anything before this event?"

Yun Lintian's brows involuntarily knitted together and asked. "What do you mean by that? Didn't I just die a while ago?"

Xia Yao nodded her head gently. "I see. You didn't remember anything."

Yun Lintian was puzzled by Xia Yao's strange statement. He tried to recall something, but nothing came out in the end.

Xia Yao didn't explain and changed the topic. "By the way, why don't you get together with that woman surnamed Yang?… There's also that foreign woman, Lynn."

Yun Lintian was taken aback by the question. His expression turned serious as he answered. "How could I be with them? You are the one and only woman in my heart."

Xia Yao felt happy in her heart, but she still shook her head and said. "I understand that, but… Are you sure I am the only woman in your heart? You don't have any feeling for them at all?" Before Yun Lintian could refute, Xia Yao added. "Don't lie to me."

Yun Lintian swallowed the words back. He went silent for a while before replying with a sigh. "Of course not. I'm not a stone, after all. Facing two beautiful women who love me like that, I naturally have some feelings for them. It's just that… I don't want to ruin their future. I don't think I am worthy of their love."

Yun Lintian was a mortal, after all. He still had six desires and seven emotions. There were several times he wanted to accept Lynn and Yang Ningchang's feelings, but he managed to hold himself back in the end. That was also a reason he kept avoiding them. He was afraid that he couldn't control himself.

Yun Lintian thought that Xia Yao would get angry. However, she actually smiled instead, making Yun Lintian doubt. What did I say wrong?

"You are honest now, huh?" Xia Yao chuckled. She changed her tone slightly and continued. "I understand your standing, but why are you so sure that their future would be ruined if they were with you?"

Yun Lintian was confused slightly. "Isn't it? As you know, I have a lot of enemies. I don't know which day is my last day in this world. Wouldn't it be better for them to find an ordinary man to be with?"

Listening to this, Xia Yao laughed gently and said. "You are such an idiot. Do you think they aren't aware of that?" She paused for a moment and continued. "Never mind. Let me show you something."

As soon as Xia Yao waved her hand, the surroundings instantly turned into the Rain Mountain where Yun Lintian had previously lost his life.

At this moment, Yang Ningchang was crying while hugging Yun Lintian's lifeless body. Her face was pale, and there was a trail of blood at the corner of her mouth. It could be seen how sorrowful and painful she was to see her beloved man die.

Yun Lintian was stunned for a moment. His eyes fixated on Yang Ningchang's miserable appearance without blinking. Guilt gradually emerged in the depth of his heart but soon disappeared and was replaced by a relief instead. He believed that she could let go of him after this and live a peaceful life… Unfortunately, he had greatly underestimated her stubborn obsession.

Xia Yao glanced at Yun Lintian and seemed to see through his thought. However, she didn't say anything and turned to watch the scene calmly.

Zhu Ding stared at Yang Ningchang with a gloomy face. His hands involuntarily clenched into fists from anger. He didn't understand why Yang Ningchang was so obsessed with Yun Lintian. No need to mention other things. She should know that Yun Lintian only had Xia Yao in his heart.. It was almost impossible for them to be together.
