Chapter 6 — Contract with the Cat God: Follow One Person All Your Life

7 My sister and I were originally orphans without a father or mother. We heard that that year, someone in the sect accidentally discovered two children in diapers, abandoned them next to a spirit cave in Thien Phong forest, and brought them back to the sect to raise. Before the day his sister succeeded as head of the sect, Elder Qi received news of a change in the demon clan, and also received... an even more shocking news. The demon pill that Co Doanh lost twenty years ago was swallowed by someone else. That person... is right inside Thien Phong Mon. Co Doanh came here to reclaim the demon pill. Elder Qi secretly investigated for a long time. Finally, it was discovered that my mother and sister - a mortal woman - accidentally swallowed a demon pill while pregnant. Her body was too weak, unable to withstand the demonic force of the demon pill, as a result, she was born prematurely, and died soon after. The demon pill in her belly was divided into two, the part that affected her sister, giving her her outstanding spiritual roots and outstanding talent. The part that truly integrates — enters our hearts. But instead of helping me be strong, the demon pill inhibits all my spiritual roots, making my practice slow all my life. When learning about this, Elder Qi's first reaction was: "The demon pill must be destroyed." When my sister found out, she immediately argued fiercely, and at that moment, I accidentally heard it. It turns out that the demon pill has always been nurtured in my heart — Co Doanh can feel it. Twenty years ago, he was seriously injured and had to hide and recuperate. Now that he had partially recovered his magic, he came to reclaim the demon pill. But now — the demon pill has eaten deep into my heart, wanting to take it out... I must definitely die. I… don't blame Elder Qi. He survived the terrible battle of the past and saw his fellow disciples fall one by one. If it were someone else, I would probably choose the same as you. Use one me - exchange for peace for the human race. Change — who doesn't change? In my previous life, the last moment I saw Co Doanh walking towards me was real. He came to get the demon pill. I'm dead, so... he probably got it, right? In recent days, my sister has come to visit me every day, Huyen Dieu still following behind. I teased him: "You knew I had a demon pill on my body all along, right? That's why you suddenly changed your face towards me and became a little less harsh?" He said nothing. Still cold as ice, disdainful and not bothering to answer. No problem. I'm already used to it. Having Bach Mieu by my side is enough. "But... you guys treat me like that, it's like you're doing... end-of-life care for someone who's about to die..." I looked at Huyen Dieu and said while deliberately making a serious face. He panicked, turned to look at my sister, stammered: "I, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! I never said you were going to die!" When the older sister heard the word "death", her eyes immediately sank, revealing coldness. Huyen Dieu immediately added, seriously saying: "With Trieu Trieu and I here, no one will be able to touch you even half! We... will protect you!" Sister gently patted my head and said softly: "Mo Mo, don't be afraid, you are very strong now, and will definitely protect you well." I looked at her eyes and felt a sting in my nose. Sister, because of me, went against the whole family, if things broke out... she would be criticized by the whole world for abandoning sentient beings because of her personal feelings. I cannot let her bear that crime. Thinking for a while, I finally told the truth: "Sister... actually... I am a reincarnated person. In my previous life, I was killed by Co Doanh. I thought for sure... this was fate. Even if I was resurrected, it wouldn't change anything. I have accepted it." My sister looked at me blankly, shocked: "You... are you also reincarnated?!" "Also…? Could it be that… you also…?” I thought I was the only one who came back to life, but I didn't expect - my sister was also the one who returned from her previous life. 8 Her eyes were red, she hugged me tightly, tears falling like rain: "In my previous life, I could only watch you die in my arms, but I was completely helpless. God gave me a chance to live again, I swore: this time I will definitely protect you to the end. I still let Huyen Dieu go for you. I practiced diligently, not daring to be lazy for a moment every day. In the end, I did not disappoint you and Huyen Dieu, and entered Realm Ten - the pinnacle. "Everything I do, I do for you. Without you, living again is meaningless. Mo Mo, don't accept your fate. Believe me - I can definitely protect you." It turns out, after I died in my previous life, my sister was saved by my fellow sect. Co Doanh only came to get the demon pill, not paying attention to her. But she saw it with her own eyes — he cut open my heart, pulled out the demon pill, then turned and left. The demon pill has not yet been completely fused, so it took Co Doanh time to get used to it again. At that time, the older sister quietly left the sect and sneaked into the demon clan, intending to kill him while he was still weak and take revenge. But unfortunately... her sword could not kill Co Doanh. On the contrary, he was seriously injured, and then imprisoned in a dungeon and died. Both Huyen Dieu and Bach Mieu looked at the two of us blankly, it took a long time to digest all the information. Huyen Dieu asked: "So that means... you knew I would awaken into a divine beast, but you deliberately gave me up to Trieu Trieu?" Bach Mieu also looked at me, her mouth curled up: "Then in my previous life I died and didn't wake up. Do you... consider me just a cat?" The two beasts spoke at the same time. I wiped my tears and glanced at Huyen Dieu: "God gave me a chance to choose again. Of course I have to kick you out of sight. I don't have to endure your torture day and night like in my previous life." The older sister also turned to look at Bach Mieu and said softly: "Maybe we really aren't compatible. Being reluctant to be together only pulls each other back. Huyen Dieu and I are suitable. Only today did I know that you are the magical beast White Tiger." Neither Huyen Dieu nor Bach Mieu said anything. I can only sigh: "Everything... is destiny." "But Elder Qi is right. If the demon pill is not destroyed for a day, Co Doanh will never let go. He keeps hiding behind the demon clan. We cannot destroy the entire demon clan, nor can we be sure of killing him." There is one thing I haven't dared to tell you. I'm afraid she'll worry more. — That is, even though Co Doanh has not taken back the demon pill, he still seems to be able to control it from afar, making my heart contract in waves of suffocating pain. Every time that happens, I feel… “Will I… die of a heart attack before the demon pill is taken away?” As soon as my injury was completely healed, I immediately moved back to the sect to give my sister peace of mind, and also to look up the classics to see if there were any records about my condition. She said she had read all the books she could find, but still told me to try, maybe I missed something. I know - She just wants me to have something to do, to stop thinking wobbly.
