Myth Beyond Heaven

Although Shen Liqiu was speechless, she didn’t forget to launch her attack on the profound beasts. Under Qingqing’s binding wind, these pitiful beasts could only accept their fate, getting slaughtered one-sidedly.

Time passed. Shen Liqiu tried her best to kill all the profound beasts until she completely exhausted her profound energy. She slumped on the chair and complained. “Ah. I’m tired to death. Bring me some wines.”

Yun Lintian rolled his eyes and brought a small bottle of wine out. “Take it. We will leave after you recover.”

Shen Liqiu’s eyes brightened. She hurriedly uncorked the bottle and took a sip of wine. “So good!”

“I don’t know how Hei Lei is now.” Xiao Weiyuan frowned. “Hopefully, this trial is not about the speed.”

“Of course not.” Yun Lintian said while sipping tea. “If we have to compete in a speed, wouldn’t Monarchs have an advantage in this? If that’s the case, I don’t think the Skymist Emperor would need to go through all this trouble. He could just pick the strongest Monarch under him to inherit his inheritance.”

Xiao Weiyuan nodded thoughtfully. “Indeed.” He couldn’t help asking. “What do you think about the second stage, Young Master Yun?”

Yun Lintian shook his head. “It’s early to judge… However, if this first stage is about testing our battle prowess, the second stage should be testing other aspects. For example, our soul.”

He paused for a moment and continued. “I don’t know much about the Skymist Emperor’s personality. I can’t guess about his criteria in choosing a successor.”

Shen Liqiu put the wine bottle down and wiped the trace out of her lips. “It was said he was an upright person, but why did he allow the Poison Valley remnant like that Hei Lei guy in?”

Yun Lintian shrugged his shoulders. “Who knows?”

“Well, we will see it later.” Shen Liqiu took another mouthful of wine and began replenishing her profound energy.

Two hours later, Shen Liqiu had fully recovered her profound energy and was ready to set off.

Everyone stood before the white portal and glanced at each other.

“See you later.” Shen Liqiu said with a smile and stepped into the portal, followed by Xiao Weiyuan.

Yun Lintian tightly hugged Qingqing, and Linlin then said. “If we are separate, don’t run around restlessly. Understand?”

“Mhm!” Qingqing and Linlin replied obediently.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and stepped into the portal. His vision turned white for a while, and when he recovered, he had already found himself in a familiar bedroom.

“This place…” Yun Lintian was stunned because this place was his rental room when he was on Earth.

Looking at a clean and neat bed that he had slept on for years, Yun Lintian subconsciously touched it, and the soft sensation immediately shook his soul. “This… This is too real.”

Yun Lintian thought it was an illusion or something, but it was too perfect. Everything was too real to be an illusion, whether the smell in the air, sunlight or a sensation.

Yun Lintian turned and saw a familiar desk with a small digital clock. The date on the clock clearly stated it was 24 July 2015. His heart shook, and he quickly opened the door.

Pop!

“Happy birthday to you~” As soon as Yun Lintian stepped out of the room, a crackling sound rang out, followed by a pleasant singing.

Yun Lintian looked at the woman before him as if he had just lost his soul. No matter how many years had passed, every frown and movement of her could never be erased from his mind and soul.

“Yaoyao…” Yun Lintian said in a hoarse voice. His eyes turned red as tears began to flow down.

The woman, Xia Yao, was stunned by his reaction. She hurriedly put the cake on a table nearby and hugged Yun Lintian. “What’s wrong? Tell me.”

Xia Yao patted Yun Lintian’s back. Her face was full of confusion and worry. She didn’t understand why Yun Lintian had such a reaction. It was definitely not coming from a joyful mood.

Yun Lintian trembled. The scent and warm hug he had longed for day and night appeared in front of him again. Even though he knew this might be an illusion, he didn’t want to part with it. At least, not now.

Xia Yao didn’t inquire further. She gently patted Yun Lintian and placed her head against his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeats. Time seemed to freeze at the moment, or perhaps it was Yun Lintian’s wish.

Bang!

“Haha! Boss! We are here to…” At this moment, the front door was pushed open, and a loud voice immediately resounded as three figures appeared behind it. They were no other than Lei Hao, Tu Feng, and Xiao Kai.

The three were frozen on the spot when they saw this scene. Lei Hao hurriedly pushed Tu Feng and Xiao Kai away and said with a knowing smile. “I’m sorry, Boss and Sister Yao. We will come back later.” 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

As he spoke, he quickly closed the door. However, he didn’t go anywhere but leaned closely against the door while making a silent gesture to his brothers.

Yun Lintian regained his sense and gently grabbed Xia Yao’s shoulder. He looked at the peerless beauty in front of him without blinking. He even forgot to breathe for a while.

Xiao Yao was puzzled by Yun Lintian’s strange action. She couldn’t help touching his forehead. “You didn’t get a cold, right?”

Yun Lintian grabbed her soft hand gently and lowered his head, kissing her.

Xia Yao’s eyes widened open in shock and then slowly calmed down. She closed her eyes and used her left arm to hook his neck, immersing in a blissful moment.

A while later, Yun Lintian reluctantly left her lips and stared at Xia Yao’s beautiful face. “I miss you, Yaoyao.”

Xia Yao blushed slightly and quickly retorted. “I am here with you every day. Why did you suddenly miss me? Don’t tell me you had a nightmare of that night again?”

Hearing this, Yun Lintian was puzzled. “That night?”

Xia Yao’s brows perked up as she looked at him suspiciously. “Don’t you remember? It was the night we went to retrieve Project Eve. We almost lost our life there.”

Yun Lintian was even more confused… What was going on here? Wasn’t that night everyone….?
