Chapter 3 — After Being Abandoned by Demons, I Became the Treasure of the Immortal Cultivation World

I opened my eyes in the water. The first thing that came into view was a giant transparent glass wall. My pale pink front legs gently rested on a smooth rock. There were several white-robed monks around, observing. I panicked and immediately closed my eyes again.

“Sister, just now I thought I saw you open your eyes.”

"Lower your voice a bit. If you're awake, why aren't you moving?"

"That's right. It's been almost ten days and she still hasn't woken up, could it be..."

“If you don't know what to say, you can keep your mouth shut.”

Has it been ten days already? So my heart…

“Ah, senior brother is here!”

“Yeah, how's it going?”

This voice is too familiar. Even with my eyes closed, I can still recognize him.

"Still not awake. Is the injury too serious?"

“I said I should go to the nearby mountain to find a doctor to treat her, but the master definitely wouldn't agree.”

“He just gave her a pill to drink, then told us to find a jar with water and put her in it.”

"Are you that kind? Obviously you want to use an excuse to go to the nearby mountain to get to know the monk!"

"You can't say that. I really like this little guy with a tail."

“The whole body is pink and soft, I really want to touch it.”

"Finally, senior brother has the eyes to take a look. This little guy is so adorable that it makes my heart soften."

“Okay, it's time to practice swordplay.”

The other brother's voice rang out, stopping everyone from continuing to make noise.

"Tieu Phan Doan, when practice is over, let's come visit you again."

Everyone reluctantly left. I can't believe it a bit. It seems they really like my body. Before, I always thought that my body was very bad. Because every time I see gills growing on my head, my lord gets extremely angry. He threatened many times that if I dared to change them without his permission, he would cut them off himself.

“If you're awake, stop pretending to be asleep.”

It's been detected. I was like a child who had just made a mistake, obediently opening my eyes, pressing close to the glass wall, not moving, waiting for his judgment. He suddenly bent down, put his index finger on the glass surface, slowly moving up and down, as if he was caressing my body.

“It's magical.”

“You were injured so seriously, but in just ten days you healed yourself.”

“Even the heart has grown back.”

I was stunned and immediately retreated into the rock crevice. Actually, we discovered it early. No matter how severely injured we are, our body can soon recover on its own. Even if an arm is cut off, a new arm can still grow. Those who used me as an experiment saw new parts growing back on my body. In addition to fear, there was also excitement in their eyes.

“What a magical monster.”

The man in front of me saw my reaction, a smile appeared on his cold face.

“No need to be afraid.”

“If your master has agreed to let me save you, then no one here will hurt you.”

"On the bed there are clothes prepared for you by my junior sister."

“Master wants to see you.”

The master they mentioned was a middle-aged man with an extremely fierce appearance. Next to him, there was a woman sitting, her eyes looking at me gently.

“Master, monk."

The man who brought me here to perform the ceremony immediately stood aside. The Master asked me with a serious face:

“Do you still remember who you are?”

“Why did you appear before my mountain gate?”

“Who beat you into… that form?”

“An Nuong, why are you hitting me?”

The teacher standing next to him immediately stood up, raised her hand and slapped her master's head hard.

“If you ask, just ask, why are you so fierce?”

“She's not a criminal!”

The Master felt a bit sorry for himself:

“Where am I fierce?”

“Clearly this is your bias towards me!”

I stood in the middle of the main hall, completely unsure of what to do. Don't they want to interrogate me? Why are you arguing? I secretly looked at the senior brother next to me. His expression remained calm as usual, as if he had long gotten used to this scene. In the end, the monk won. She softened her voice and asked me again. I didn't sense any malice from her, so I answered seriously:

“I am a monster, named Thanh Dao.”

“Because I lost control and hurt someone in the lord's heart, I was punished by the lord.”

Hearing my answer, all three people's faces became unsightly. The other brother asked:

“Who is your master?”

Because of habit, I don't dare hesitate:

“Ma Ton.”

The monk snorted coldly.

“What a beast!”

“A child who is still in his adolescence can be abused to this extent by him!”

“When Han Nguyet brought you home, we checked your body.”

“In my body, there is still a little bit of special scent left.”

“If you inhale that scent for too long without an antidote, regardless of whether you are a human or a god, you will be excited to the point of losing control.”

I was temporarily unable to react. Suddenly, I was hugged by someone. The monk gently consoled:

“Stupid child, don't blame yourself.”

“I'm not a monster.”

“If I have to say what you are, then you can consider yourself a divine beast.”

Divine beast? What about me? I looked confusedly at the remaining two people. They both nodded slightly, showing their agreement. My eye sockets suddenly became hot. Is this a dream? If it's a dream, I hope I'll never wake up. I gently returned that hug.
