Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Heavenly Punishment
‘Oh I am dead…I am so dead,’

Luo Huian bit her lower lip. If she had known that the man who stood at the tallest building in his city was the child of the heavens, she would have never let him jump off the building.

“I didn’t know that he was the child of the heavens,” Luo Huian tried to quibble. She now understood that she was in trouble and apologized, “I am willing to admit that it’s my fault. I will cultivate to bring the soul of that man divine peace.” Though it was near to impossible, Luo Huian did not care as she was lying to escape punishment. Once she got out of this place unscathed, everything would be fine.

But the elders were no longer willing to listen. Elder Luo shook her head and calmly stated, “It doesn’t matter what you say or do now, Huian. Your responsibility as an immortal at Sacred Purple Level was to bring peace to that child and stop him from jumping to his death.”

“You have failed in your duty and henceforth committed a sin for which you will have to face Heavenly punishment.”

Luo Huian’s eyes widened when she heard Elder Luo’s decision. She couldn’t believe that her grandmother was actually willing to let her face the Heavenly Punishment.

Heavenly Punishment, one of the most terrifying punishments in the world of immortals. The one who received this divine punishment sometimes never returned as it was nearly impossible to advance past this divine punishment handed by the heavens.

Sometimes immortals faded away while trying to escape this divine punishment as it was impossible to face it till the end. Yet her grandmother wanted Luo Huian to face the Heavenly Divine Punishment.

For what!?

As Luo Huian was still young, she did not know how to control her expressions. Elder Luo at once noticed what she was thinking and shook her head in disappointment. She knew that her granddaughter was willful and hot-tempered but she never thought that Luo Huian would treat human life so lightly.

Even though she was facing the Heavenly Divine Punishment, Luo Huian did not seem to realize her mistake. She had no idea about the pain and suffering she had caused to the loved ones of the man whom she did not save, all because of her personal judgments.

That boy’s mother lost her husband to a freak accident and only had one son on whom she relied. With the death of that boy, she was now all alone in this world and the victim for whom Luo Huian watched the boy fall to his death, was now going to live a life filled with guilt.

Even though what that boy did was indeed cruel, he did not deserve death as his victim was still alive.

And by watching that boy die, Luo Huian had ruined the lives of many people who were directly and indirectly related to that boy.

“Go Huian, go the world where you will understand what you did wrong and why you are facing this divine punishment,” Elder Luo said to her granddaughter as she knew that even if she tried to explain it to Luo Huian, she was too much of a spoiled brat to understand where her fault lies.

“Mother,” Jia Bo couldn’t withstand it anymore and interjected. “Please forgive, Huian. I will teach her better, she is still a child … please let her have another chance… I beg you!”

As Jia Bo spoke he knelt in front of Elder Luo. He was about to kowtow but was stopped by Elder Luo,

“Xiao Bo. What your daughter has done is not a small mistake. It’s a sin,” Elder Luo shook her head. She glanced at Luo Huian whose head was now lowered making it impossible for her to see what kind of expression her granddaughter was making. “Your daughter is stronger than every disciple in this sect, I will admit that but she lacks emotions and empathy. For her, the value of a human life is similar to a chicken or duck, that humans eat. But for those who are left behind, have you ever thought about them?”

“Your daughter is only facing a Heavenly Punishment and your heart aches for her. Then what about the mother who lost her only son?” Elder Luo questioned her son-in-law whose expression turned pale and ashamed. “You can still see your daughter and talk to her, but will that poor old woman be able to do the same? No. She will never see her child ever again.”

Jia Bo bit his lip, now even if he wanted to speak for his daughter he couldn’t because he knew that his mother-in-law was right.

“Come here, Xiao Bo,” Luo Tingfeng helped his husband but he did not help his daughter whose fingers were clenched tightly. An action that Luo Tingfeng missed.

Elder Luo then turned to look at Luo Huian and questioned, “Do you accept the divine punishment, Huian?”

There was a pause before Luo Huian answered, “I do.” Like she had some other choice, that old hag would not let her live this day if she did not accept it.

She did not raise her head even then causing Jia Bo to cover his mouth and silently sob.

“Then is there something that you want to say before leaving?” Another elder asked as the air around them dipped and started to circulate Luo Huian.

“My memories——”

“Don’t worry about them,” Elder Luo said to Luo Huian, she seemed to have realized what her granddaughter was saying and interrupted her. She smiled kindly at Luo Huian and stated, “I will keep your memories intact, who knows how long will it take to finish your sentence, Huian? I know you want to remember your parents and your family for the peace of heart.”

Luo Huian’s lips curled in a disdainful smile. She raised her head and looked at Elder Luo who sensed something amiss and a second later she heard Luo Huian say, “No, my dear grandmother. I wanted to ask you to destroy every piece of memory that I have of this place.”

Her words caused Jia Bo to gasp and cry out loud, “What are you saying, Huian?”

Even Luo Tingfeng frowned and reprimanded his daughter, “That’s enough, Huian.”

However, Luo Huian did not look at them as if wanting to give as much pain as possible to her parents who stood silently when she was suffering.

“The family who abandoned me but was willing to support someone who brought infinite destruction,” Luo Huian brought up the incident from years ago causing everyone’s expression to change. “I refuse to accept such a family. You all too, now treat me as if I am dead.”
