Chapter 8 — Blood Contract Vermilion Bird

Hoa Vu stood next to her, slightly curled her lips, smiled contemptuously, and did not bother to respond. I didn't bother to say a word, just looked at him like I was looking at a trembling worm. With his and Thanh Ho's current strength, in our eyes, they are no different from a bunch of ants, yet they still dare to talk so arrogantly about conditions? Thanh Ho suddenly shouted angrily, pressed the magic spell with his hand, and launched the first move. The dazzling light and violent magic power made the space tremble. No need for further words. Fighting explodes! Hoa Vu and I are in no hurry to end it. We just... slowly toyed with these two dying people, each move like a cat playing with a mouse. A powerful palm fell! Thanh Ho was blown away, his whole body knelt on the ground, trembling and panting. Suddenly, she clutched her chest, her face turned pale, drops of cold sweat fell onto the stone floor: "Why... It's impossible... My heart disease... I'm clearly cured, but..." Her face convulsed violently, twisted to the point that she no longer had a human shape. If I hadn't deliberately hidden it and not let her know that her heart disease had never improved, she would absolutely not have been so reckless as to act cruelly against Nguyet Truc. Tuyet Huyen is no better. His stomach burned like fire, sweat poured out, his face turned pale. Little did he know... On Nguyet Truc's body, I had long ago defeated Vermilion Bird's "Red Fire Poison". Every drop of her blood... is extremely poisonous. This person drank her blood... That person extracted her bones... Naturally, the poisonous poison hidden in Nguyet Truc's body also passed through the blood and bones into Tuyet Huyen's body. I stood in front of him, my eyes cold as ice, not saying a word, just slowly waving my hand. Swoosh! In just one breath, I cut off one of Tuyet Huyen's arm tendons and leg tendons on each side. A roar like a dragon being torn into pieces echoed throughout the cave. His body convulsed violently, collapsing to the ground. From now on... the person who once stood on the nine layers of heaven was nothing more than a disabled person. Hoa Vu stepped forward, one hand picked him up and threw him on her shoulder, her long hair blowing lightly in the wind. She turned her head, curled her lips and smiled faintly: "Thank you." I raised my hand to stop her. Hoa Vu raised her eyebrows, her phoenix eyes sparkled with a teasing look: "What's wrong? Are you planning to go back on your word and change your mind about keeping him?" I shook my head, took out a bottle of jade-colored incense from my chest, sealed it with a purple sandalwood, and slowly placed it in her hand: "No. This is something I found in the main store of Hop Hoan Tong last year. Consider it a gift... enough to make him obediently obey." Hoa Vu was a little stunned, then smiled wildly, her jade-white fingers gently turned the vase, cold light flashed: "This... is interesting." Having finished speaking, she turned and left, her red figure gradually disappearing behind the mist in the cave. Hoa Vu is unruly and evil, everyone in Thanh Van Son knows that she often goes to Tan Lau Quan at the foot of the mountain, where flowers are blooming, leaving people to look at and criticize her. But... she is a noble woman of heaven, with excellent natural talent, and a destiny like the stars of the moon. Therefore, no one dared to say a word. In my previous life, Hoa Vu once asked me to ask Tuyet Huyen for one night, but I did not agree. And now... giving him to her, it's considered making up for the debt from the previous life, and at the same time... giving Tuyet Huyen back an unforgettable humiliation. Tuyet Huyen... will not die. But he doesn't dream of returning to Heaven. The people of Heaven will never find him. The man who was once the most noble Crown Prince Kim Long, is now just a toy, imprisoned under a pillow by a nun of Thanh Van Tong. Vermilion Bird stood next to him, gently waving his sleeve, a stream of red divine fire rolled up like the world was collapsing. Just a moment— Boom!!! The sacred fire engulfed the entire cave and turned into a sea of blood, including the bodies of Nguyet Truc and Thanh Ho.

into ashes. The smoke cleared and the smell of blood disappeared. The grudge from the past life... this is the end. Hoa Vu does not care about the overall situation of the sect. She only took Tuyet Huyen away, a bright red body, gracefully walking into the foggy night. As for me... standing in the middle of the smoky ruins, my hand tightly holding the Thanh Van command. From today onwards— “I am the second person in power of the Thanh Van Sect.” Next to me, the ancient divine beast - Vermilion Bird - fluttered its red wings, covering the sky with a layer of blood light... When I was still in a long sleep, I knew clearly that the egg lying next to me did not belong to the mortal world, but came from the high heaven above. It's just... its appearance is extremely ugly. If I say "gray, dirty, unsightly" I'm afraid it's still too mild. The eggshell is distorted, dark gray, like a block of rotten rock without any spiritual light. Even if it is given to practitioners for free, I'm afraid people will still hate it. On the contrary, we are different. My eggshell is round and shiny, like an ancient jade that hides divine light. Even before it hatches, it shows spiritual destiny. Just a glance, I know it is not an ordinary thing. Mother once told me that, when spirit beasts are born, they must find their owner, use their blood to form a contract, and from then on live together and die together. Therefore, I always ask myself: "I wonder... What kind of person will my future master be?" I wait. Then wait again. Until one day, in the secret realm of Linh Van, I finally... waited for two silhouettes. She - the person who would later be called Master - without hesitation reached out to grab me first, her eyes lit up, her lips curled into a triumphant smile, and she loudly said: "This egg is mine! Thank you sister for giving way!" At that time, I was still naive, still holding on to the most beautiful hopes, thinking to myself: "It turns out... The owner is you." From the beginning, Nguyet Truc was really very good to me. So good that every day he will say ten thousand times in front of me: "Relying on you, I will definitely take one step to heaven, making everyone raise their heads in admiration!" I believed it to be true at that time. Until the day... I transform. In my understanding, the human race has no distinction between beauty and evil. But through the rumors everywhere, I vaguely understood... my appearance was too amazing. People say that compared to the "first beauty" of the entire continent, I am three times more beautiful. From then on, Nguyet Truc's eyes began to change... Jealousy. Resentment. Merciless. She forbade me to sleep in the palace and forced me to stay in the dark cave; She also broke my wings of fire, so that I could not fly in the sky. Compared to her, I like Linh Hy more. Even though Phong Dat Hoa was an incompetent trash, Linh Hy always smiled and stood in front of him, using a gentle tone to protect him from sarcasm. She patiently taught him swordsmanship, taught him cultivation techniques, I even saw with my own eyes her secretly leading him down the mountain, listening to scholarly stories, and eating sweet, bright red gourd candy. Nun Linh Hy was originally someone who protected the people she loved. One time, I was angry and locked Phong Dat Hoa in the library, but she got angry and shouted directly at me. Only then did I understand that the so-called master... was not just based on a contract, but was one life and one life, life and death depended on each other. My mother once taught me: "Once you identify a person, your whole life... must exist for her." So, I thought I would try one more time, one last time... Love you. Protect her. Help her. I was sincere... with Nguyet Truc. I used to foolishly cling to her, trying to use every means to make Nguyet Truc happy. I do countless things... against my conscience. For example — dealing with nun Linh Hy, the head of the Thanh Van Sect, even personally pushing Phong Dat Hoa into the abyss of ten thousand feet... I

I used to think that if I did everything for her, she would look at me one more time. It's a pity... Reality is so cruel. The day I learned that Phong Dat Hoa had ascended to Kim Long, Nguyet Truc beat me one hundred and eight times, scolding me as "useless". While everywhere was praising him, she punished me to go down to Cang Vu mountain, where demons were rampant, sealing all my cultivation, not allowing me to use even a little bit of fairy magic. The day Linh Hy became friends with Phong Dat Hoa, Nguyet Truc cruelly stripped off the Vermilion Bird seal on her body, threw her into an ice lake, and let her soak all night. Don't stop there. In the end, she and her eldest senior brother eagerly displayed ancient forbidden magic together, wanting to peel my skin, change my face... for her. In desperation, I activated the Red Fire in my bloodline, burning everything. "Burn... burn cleanly. In this life... I'd rather end it, in the next life... I don't want to see you again." Thanh Van Tong... everything makes me disgusted. In the midst of the ashes, I seemed to see Linh Hy being pushed into the formation by his senior brother. … Also good. One more person to bury with me, so I won't be lonely anymore. It's just - why is her aura so weak and she's lost her spiritual veins...? She... isn't she married to Chan Long? Isn't he the "man" she single-handedly picked up? So, she also chose the wrong spirit beast... In the same life, we... are both fallen people. I put a drop of blood on the tip of my finger, letting the blood fall into Linh Hy's seal. This time, I am the one who proactively chooses the owner. Gradually, I opened my eyes. The chaos outside disappears, leaving only a warm embrace surrounding me. She gently caressed my eggshell, her voice soft and gentle, like a promise engraved into the soul: "If you choose her, then in this life... you must forever be responsible for her." 【 Complete 】
