The Love That Remains 97 Your Husband Made A Contract With Death

The environment is tense and cold. Reis and Sung Jun are glaring at each other like they want to shred each other to pieces. I stand between them before they start fighting. They don't say a word. I trust my husband's fighting abilities, but Reis is G.o.d and my benefactor. I would like it if they don't fight each other.

"Is someone going to tell me what is going on?" I don't have the patience or time to wait all day. I want to go back home with Sung Jun and have a feast for surviving h.e.l.l. I am craving for dumplings since I have left gluttony. I want to boast about h.e.l.l and Sung Jun to w.a.n.g Mei. I want to find that d.a.m.n Fate and teach her a lesson. I want to see my father again. Most importantly, I want to start living my life with Sung Jun.

"Your husband made a contract with Death."

"What?" I look at Sung Jun. "He is joking, right?"

"He scammed you, Aisa." Sung Jun s.h.i.+fts his eyes uneasily. "If you don't become a G.o.d, then your soul will be erased. You will never be able to reborn again."

He didn't answer my question. Sung Jun is holding huge scythe in his hand. This scythe, I realize, smells like death itself. I have not met death yet and I am not keen to. Making a deal with any supernatural creature is a c.r.a.ppy idea. Of all the G.o.ds, Death is another league.

I stare at Sung Jun. "You are a spirit Lawyer. You are the son of the president of the council. You are a d.a.m.n shaman. Why would you make a deal with a G.o.d?"

"That was the only way." Sung Jun answers me with a smile. "With G.o.ds involved, I needed a sponsor to come to h.e.l.l directly and take you out safely. I didn't have time."

"You did it for me?" I feel worse now. He is stuck with Death because of me. "You shouldn't have. I would never want this."

"Don't you want to be with me?" He flicks my forehead. "Aisa, you are an idiot. I can't let my wife suffer in h.e.l.l. Besides, I am a lawyer. Do you think that I will let someone else have an upper hand?"

The same almost smile appears on his lips. This guy! Can anyone trap this kind of person? I have been an idiot. Of course, he would have an upper hand. But, is it alright? Wouldn't death become furious when it realizes how he has fooled him?

"Don't worry." Sung Jun seems to have read my mind. "He can't harm me or you. I am a heavenly blessed immortal. Heaven favours me over him. I will utilize this fully in this lifetime."

I don't know why I feel sorry for Death.

"It's been a while since I did this." He pinches my cheeks.

"That hurts, Jun." I try to get out of his claws. "Stop being evil. If you pinch my cheeks, I will tickle you."

"Nice idea." He lets go of me and spreads his arms. "Where do you wanna do it? It's been so long. Touch me anywhere you want."

This pervert!

"I am still here." Reis walks toward us with a deep scowl. "Can you continue your perverted talks later?"

"It wasn't perverted. Your ears are perverted." I glare at him. "I haven't forgotten. How could you just throw me in h.e.l.l to become a G.o.d without any preparation? What is this about being erased if I don't become a G.o.d?"

"That was the fastest way." Reis sighs. "I wanted you to become a G.o.d because only G.o.ds are free from the hands of fate. I can't touch Sung Jun because he is favoured by heaven and meant for greatness. No G.o.d can go unscathed if they mess with a heavenly blessed individual. That's why Death also didn't go too far when he formed a contract with him. He might be in Heaven's good books because he helped your husband. But, you are different. Because I chose you, Fate would have never let you go. Rather than being reincarnated and falling in the s.a.d.i.s.tic hands of Fate, it was better if you were erased."

"Fate." Sung Jun shows a smile that is not a smile. "Where is she? I have something to discuss with her."

"Inside the holy river," Reis replies nonchalantly. "After I sent Fang Aisa to h.e.l.l, she went to heaven to clean her acc.u.mulated Karma. I have done everything for it to be delayed as long as I could. When she finally got the chance, she went to the holy river to wash away the karma. However, she never came out of the river. I was hoping that it would turn out like that."

That's news. For more than eight years, I have tried to block that psycho G.o.ddess' path. Reis has used me to alter the future. But, she went away like this? It doesn't feel right. I wanted to slap her face once.

"Will she ever come out?" Sung Jun asks calmly. "We have a long debt with her."

"One or two days maybe. At most, one week." Reis rolls his eyes. "Heaven is impartial. It seems like Heaven is really mad that she played around with you. Anyway, G.o.ds are immortal."

"Just one or two days?" My voice is louder than I want it to be. "This punishment is too less for her."

"A day in heaven is equal to ten thousands of human years." Reis shrugs his shoulder. "I have been punished once. Heaven is not lenient. Don't worry. She will become a good G.o.ddess after spending some time there."

"You never turned out good though." I give him a look. "Scamming people? Turning into a cat? Being grumpy? Throwing a woman literally into h.e.l.l against her wishes? What does this sound like?"

"That's why I am never going to heaven." Reis stretches his arms. "Being a cat isn't bad. Now, you are immortal. You can do it too. Try it sometime."

"No, thanks!!!"
