Chapter 8 — Contract with the Cat God: Follow One Person All Your Life

9 I did not deceive Bach Mieu, I actually survived... to see his anthropomorphic appearance with my own eyes. On the noisy battlefield, when I used magic to force the demon pill out of my veins, the air suddenly became suffocatingly quiet. All eyes were focused on the shining demon pill in my hand. I heard my sister cry heartily: "Mu Muc, don't!" The first time I heard Huyen Dieu call me "Muc Muc", his voice was filled with panic and trembling: "Muc Muc, don't do anything stupid!" I heard senior brother Nghiem Vo Cuc screaming: "Mu Muc, what are you doing?!" I saw Elder Qi clenching his fists, his eyes seemed to be tormented thousands of times between pain and helplessness. And I also saw - a white tiger rushed into the sky like lightning, suddenly transformed into a human form, its dark blue eyes filled with pain and despair: "Mu Muc!" Silver hair, blue eyes, painted appearance, calm yet calm temperament, exactly like the appearance I've imagined so many times in my dreams. He knows how to turn into a human, I'm not surprised. Anyway, every time I fell asleep, he always practiced secretly, never really being lazy. After I was seriously injured, he confessed: since the spirit contract deepened, he soon discovered there was a foreign object in me. After quietly examining it, I found out that it was Co Doanh's lost demon pill. From then on, he practiced hard day and night, hoping to wake up soon to protect me. At this moment, in those blue eyes, in addition to fear, there was also anger, definitely anger at me for not saying anything before and arbitrarily destroying the demon pill. But I know he will forgive me. Like every time I make him angry, just pat his head to comfort him, he will say "grrr" and ignore it. 10 I turned my head to look at Co Doanh. He was angry mixed with fear, his eyes fixed on the demon pill in my hand, not daring to make a move. I smiled faintly, imitating his finger movements, gently channeling my spiritual energy. He roared through the wind and rushed forward, but watched helplessly as the demon pill in my hand turned into ash and dissipated in the air. Bach Mieu stood in front of me like lightning, blocked a sword straight to the heart, and waved his hand to send Co Doanh flying. He turned around and hugged me as I fell out of the air. In the familiar arms, smelling the warm scent of his body, I suddenly felt extremely reassured. Looking at those blue eyes that began to bleed, I sadly raised my hand to caress that handsome face: "Indeed, you are more beautiful than Huyen Dieu... It's a pity that in the future... you will be someone else's spirit beast." He choked, pressing his face into my palm: "I'm just your spirit beast, sister." "If you die, I will follow you. On the path of reincarnation, I will cling to you and not let go." The first time he spoke gentle words to comfort me. I feel very happy when I hear it. I reached out, gently stroked his soft white hair, then looked behind him - where my sister was being led by Huyen Dieu, her eyes were red and swollen, tears still wet. She knelt next to me, her hands trembling, not daring to touch, her mouth mumbling in pain: "Why... why did you live once and still be like that..." I wanted to say: "Don't be sad anymore. These past few years, I have lived happier than in my previous life. Being your sister, I feel so happy. If there is an afterlife, I want to be your sister, to love, pamper, care for and protect you like you did with me. I..." But I really... don't have any strength left to put it into words again. The demon pill has been destroyed, Co Doanh is also dead, there is no one in this world who can hurt or threaten my sister anymore. That's great... I smiled brightly at you, not knowing if you heard what I said in my heart or not: "Sister... goodbye." 10 This time, it seems I was reborn as a fetus. We feel like we are immersed in water, our consciousness is hazy, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. When I woke up, I thought: "I wonder if my sister is right next to me? Also waiting to be born with me?" Sometimes I think vaguely: "Is this the path of reincarnation? So the surroundings are just chaos?" Until one day— I was suddenly able to open my eyes. Once we adjusted to the light, we looked around... and discovered that we were actually soaking in real water. But not in the amniotic fluid, but—in the familiar spiritual spring. Am I... not dead yet? I tried to turn my stiff neck, next to me was a person—no, a cat. It's Bach Mieu. He can transform, why does he still like to be a cat... The first person to notice me awake was Huyen Dieu, he stammered and said: "Sister has always been here to watch over you, it's just that there was an emergency so I left for a while, I took care of you..." 11 Sister came very quickly. Before my neck could turn around, she rushed to hug me tightly. Warm tears fell down his collar, he remained silent for a long time without saying a word. I inhaled my nose and rubbed my cheek against her: "Sister, are you disabled? Why can't you move anywhere..." She let out a "puff" laugh, wiping her tears while looking at me: "Your meridians are still intact, it's just that you've been lying down for too long, your body is stiff. I help you massage every day, rest for a while and you'll get better." I breathed a sigh of relief. If he comes back to life and becomes a disabled person unable to move, it would be better... to die. It's strange, we talked for so long, but Bach Mieu is still sleeping soundly. I tried to turn my head to look at him. My sister pondered for a moment and then said: "He saved me. Like me, I was also in a coma, not sure when I would wake up..." That day, he used half of his heart to replace the missing heart in my body. Perhaps because the spiritual contract is so deep, thanks to that half of my heart, I truly... come back to life. My sister invited many famous doctors to treat her wounds, but they all failed. In the end, the only way was to put both of them into the spiritual stream, hoping for abundant spiritual energy to help gather some vitality. Unexpectedly, I actually woke up. It took me three months for my body to recover, but because I only have half my heart left, I can no longer practice magic. But that makes me very satisfied. I stayed in Linh Tuyen every day, sitting next to Bach Mieu, telling him what I did today, every day ending with the sentence: "When will you wake up, stupid cat..." Spring has passed and winter has come. It's been a full year since I woke up, and he... still hasn't woken up. Finally, I ran out of patience. He leaned close to his ear and whispered: "My sister is married to Huyen Dieu... I also have to think about getting married..." "They introduced me to many handsome young men, I'm so dizzy..." "If you don't wake up, you'll miss the day of my marriage..." "But... if you wake up... I'll marry you..." That night, I dozed off in the spirit spring, feeling something brush against my face. itching to the point of exasperation. I opened my eyes uncomfortably and what I saw was... a pair of familiar blue eyes. “I heard it all, meow~” 【Full text】
