In his dream, he returned to that cold and gloomy Heavenly Prison.
Water was still dripping all around, the constant dripping sound giving people a headache.
She didn't know how much time had passed, so long that Si Jin felt she was about to freeze to death, before a few heavenly soldiers carried her to the execution ground.
The field was ablaze with karmic flames, and thunderbolts rolled down, one after another striking him.
The pain was indescribable, but at that moment he knew perfectly well that this was the punishment he was inflicting on himself.
All of this is what he deserved.
Outside the arena, his eldest disciple, Yao Cen, who was the executioner's adjutant, instead of guarding against the heavenly thunder, knelt on the ground, crying his heart out.
"Stop! Stop! That's my master, my master!"
But once the punishment begins, it won't stop easily.
Si Jin opened his mouth, wanting to remind Yao Cen to stop crying and get out, but he couldn't make a sound.
They could only watch helplessly as the scenes they least wanted to remember were replayed over and over again.
Later, my vision became increasingly blurry.
He seems...on the verge of collapse...
"Oh well, so be it," Si Jin thought. "I'm not going to die anyway, so I might as well stay confused for a while."
As he collapsed, his lips turning white, a level nine heavenly lightning bolt struck straight down from the top of his head, nearly shattering his soul.
The next moment, boom—
When lightning struck, he fell into a warm embrace, so warm that it made him feel uneasy and instinctively afraid.
He heard someone shout, "Lin Yuan! Are you crazy! Come down! That's the highest level of heavenly lightning!"
But no matter how loud the shouts were, Xiao Ayuan just held on to him and wouldn't let go.
Even if it costs me my soul, I will protect him in my arms.
No, get out. I don't want anyone to die with me.
Si Jin tried to push Lin Yuan away several times, but failed each time, so she simply leaned quietly against him.
In the end, he resigned himself to the thought that having someone embrace him unconditionally, to stand by him through thick and thin, was not a bad thing.
Gradually, he came to believe Lin Yuan. He mustered the strength to open his eyes, only to be met with a strange smile from Lin Yuan.
He said, "Master, you killed the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly God, you committed such a grave crime, why don't you die?"
Si Jin's hopes were shattered in an instant. Her heart pounded, and before she could even resist, Lin Yuan grabbed her by the neck and stabbed her through the heart with a knife...
Upon reaching this point in his dream, Si Jin suddenly awoke and sat up from the bed.
My heart was pounding wildly, my vision was going black in waves, and it felt like thousands of ants were gnawing at my head. The pain was unbearable.
Forced to use his divine power, he gasped for breath: "Little one, get two painkillers."
【Yes, sir!】 Little Yao was quite frightened by his appearance and hurriedly stretched out her paw to deliver the medicine.
Si Jin grabbed the iced tea from the low cabinet beside the tatami mat and gulped down several mouthfuls of water.
The moment the medicine was swallowed, *whoosh*—
The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The sound finally jolted Si Jin awake from her dream. She sat on the couch in a daze, her eyes lowered, staring blankly at the teacup on the ground.
He hadn't had nightmares for a long time since the curse disappeared, so why was he having them again today...?
Just then, the outer door was pushed open with a creaking sound, which made Si Jin shiver involuntarily.
Thinking it was Mo Qi, he quickly composed himself and tried to appear as normal as possible.
But those pale lips still caught Sheng Linyuan's eye immediately.
Upon seeing such a composed man, his heart felt as if it had been clenched, and he felt a pain that made it difficult to breathe.
She hurriedly went over and hugged him, tenderly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "It's alright, it's alright, Jinjin, I'm here, I'm here."
Listening to his heartbeat, Si Jin was stunned for a long while before she reacted, turned her eyes, and spoke very slowly.
"Didn't you say you had business to discuss tonight and weren't coming?"
For some reason, upon hearing these words, Sheng Linyuan's eyes inexplicably turned red.
His beloved, how could he not come?
She simply hugged Si Jin tighter and patted his shoulder gently to comfort him, saying, "I was busy at the time, but for some reason, my heart suddenly ached, and I really, really wanted to see you."
"Did you have a nightmare? I'm here, I'm with you. It's okay, it's okay."
