Chapter 1 — Mien Mien Tuyet Lac

When the upper sect chose spirit beasts, I signed a contract with a pitiful white crane. Who would have thought that its true body was the divine bird Tat Phuong! As long as his injuries recover, he will be able to return to the Divine Altar. Because of that, I rushed into countless dangerous situations alone, looking for the genius and treasure, to help him restore his position. However, who would have thought that on the day he recovered his divinity, he would decisively break the contract, causing me to betray him and die! While I was still crying sadly, he respectfully hugged... my junior sister. When I was born again, I was bitten by a snow-white reindeer. The white crane ruffled its feathers and was so angry that its crest bristled: "You can't choose it! I am the god bird Tat Phuong!" "Senior sister! What's wrong? Senior sister, wake up quickly!" A panicked voice called to my mind, I woke up, my eyes opened. The pain of being forced to break the contract has not disappeared, I feel cold all over my body to the bone... "Sister! What's wrong with you? Sister, wake up quickly!" A worried voice called through the fog to my mind, I woke up, my eyes opened in confusion. The pain of being forced to break the contract had not yet dissipated. Cold sweat soaked the back of my shirt. I tried to give a reassuring smile to my junior brother standing next to me. Everything before my eyes was strangely familiar. Only then did I realize... I had returned to the day of selecting the spirit beast to enter into a contract. Ordinary people want to cultivate immortality, the path is long and noble, but they cannot arbitrarily borrow from external forces. Therefore, the ancestors of the great sects came up with a method - to form a contract with a spirit beast, to live together and suffer together, and to use the strength of both sides to increase their cultivation. As long as they do not go against the heavenly path, humans and spirit beasts can cultivate together and support each other successfully. Every ten years, the master will prepare a group of spiritual beasts that are about to transform and give them to the disciples who have already established their foundation to choose. This year, it is my turn, my junior sister and the patriarch, to participate in the selection conference. The junior sister was one step faster, immediately choosing a gray wolf that was as powerful and fierce as a whirlwind, making countless fellow students admire him. In my turn, my eyes were suddenly attracted to a thin white crane, its feathers were ragged, its whole body was full of injuries, one leg was almost broken... Its eyes were as clear as lapis lazuli, shining with indomitable arrogance, making my heart ache. Unable to leave it alone, I stepped forward, raised my hand and signed the spirit mark, choosing it as my spirit beast. The surrounding monks were all whispering - no one understood why I chose such a waste beast. The surrounding monks saw my choice and immediately worriedly advised them: "Senior sister, this white crane's dantian is broken, its cultivation is no longer there, I'm afraid it will be difficult to repair. If you choose it, not only will it not be of any help, but will also become a burden to you." I just shook my head slightly, telling them that I believe in myself. Even if this spirit beast cannot be relied on, I can still create miracles myself. When I washed away the blood stains on the white crane's feathers and treated its external injuries, I learned from its mouth an earth-shattering secret: It... was not a white crane. It is the divine bird Tat Phuong! Just help it re-reform the inner pill and recover from its injuries, and it will be able to return to the Divine Altar. From there, we begin to walk on the path of self I rushed into countless dangerous situations, looking for the genius and earthly treasure, helping it recover. Because of it, I almost died many times, my body suffered countless injuries, and my cultivation level even went backwards. I have only one wish - to help it recover completely. However, on the day he recovered his divinity, he was cold and cruel, not bothering to ask if I was willing or not, and forcibly dissolved the contract. The backlash from the broken contract was like a knife tearing through every blood vessel, making my whole body tremble, my meridians almost exploded. In the moment of consciousness dissolving, I vaguely saw him... gently spread his wings, embracing his junior sister in his arms, whispering softly to her, extremely gentle. Immediately after that, he unleashed divine fire, burning everyone in my sect. Just thinking about the miserable scene at that time - the screams, the cries for help resounding throughout heaven and earth, the blood dyeing the mountains and rivers red - makes me hate them so much that I want to cut those two traitors into pieces and crush them into ashes! I took a deep breath, tried to force the anger rolling in my heart down to the bottom of my heart, then together with my junior brother, we strode towards the school to select spirit beasts. As soon as he landed, a snow-white reindeer walked out from the middle of the herd of spirit beasts. It's so beautiful. A beauty so pure that all eyes were drawn to that figure. Fur as white as ice and snow covered in early spring, eyes as deep as clear jade lakes, noble and elegant appearance like an ancient divine beast. More importantly, the powerful aura of spiritual energy surrounding its body made other spiritual beasts completely overshadowed, becoming insignificant and not worth mentioning. It, seems like it doesn't belong here. I frowned slightly, falling into thought: "In my previous life... did this reindeer appear here?" But before I could think of an answer, the reindeer proactively walked towards me and gently bit the hem of my shirt. I was momentarily stunned: "You... want to enter into a contract with me?" The reindeer slowly nodded. At that moment, the whole school was in an uproar. "As expected of our senior sister, who has the highest flying talent in the sect! Even such a powerful spirit beast is willing to follow her!" The reindeer gently rubbed its nose against my wrist, its docile appearance making my heart suddenly soften. I no longer hesitated, bowed and bowed to my master: "Master, I want to make a contract with this reindeer." The Master looked at me, his eyes full of joy, a gentle smile on the corner of his lips: "Good, very good! This reindeer has pure spiritual energy and extraordinary aptitude. It chose you voluntarily, of course it is destiny." Looking at that gentle face, my nose suddenly stings, my eyes heat up, I almost cry. In my previous life, when I was betrayed by my contract, my master did not care about life or death and risked his life to save me from my suffering. But the result... not only was I not saved, but you also died in the sea of divine fire. There were thousands of people in the sect, but not a single person survived. In this life, I swear with my blood - I will definitely protect them. Absolutely will not let anyone get hurt because of me again! At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, cold, mixed with despair: "Mian Mien! You cannot make a contract with it!" Everyone was startled and turned around to search, but there was no one. Suddenly a young junior brother with eyes as bright as stars pointed towards the corner of the school: "No... isn't it? The person who just spoke... could it be is… that one-legged white crane?!” In a dark corner, a white crane with a broken leg, its whole body covered in blood, tremblingly raised its head, its clear eyes staring at me... The whole school suddenly shook. “What did he say? On what basis do you forbid senior sister to form a contract with the fairy fortune?" "Looking at that dirty, smelly, sick, almost-death appearance, do you also want to dream about senior sister?" “A scabby toad wants to eat swan meat? Don't look back at what you are. The feathers are all gone, and the crane is disabled and has a broken leg, it really makes people feel nauseous!” The white crane trembled and flapped its wings, its whole body was covered in blood, its wings drooped down as if it was about to die. But its eyes were still filled with pleading and pity, looking towards me: "Mian Mien, you can't choose him! You should choose me!” “I am the divine bird Tat Phuong! When I recover from my injuries, I will return to the Godhood. At that time, we will become a spiritual couple and never be apart from each other!” I narrowed my eyes slightly, laughing coldly in my heart. That's great, I didn't expect you... to be reincarnated. But so what? If I am the one carrying the memories of my past life, then - it will be even more convenient for me to take revenge! As soon as his words ended, laughter rang out from all around: "What did he say?! Even a disabled person dares to call himself the god bird Tat Phuong? "I'm dying of laughter. Does he even know what his face looks like to dare to say something so absurd?" "I don't know if I'll live until tomorrow or not. You dare to make up shocking stories!" Among the loud mockery, only the master frowned slightly, took a step forward, and bent down to examine himself. A moment later, his eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice: "The blood of this crane... is indeed unusual. Not like a normal spirit beast at all.” He turned to me and spoke softly: "Mien Mien, do you want to reconsider? Or… if you are not too reluctant, you can also sign a contract with both of them.” I was just about to refuse when the snow-white reindeer next to me suddenly used its antlers to gently poke the back of my hand. “Don't choose him. He's just a piece of trash." "You already have me, how can you make another contract with someone else?" His eyes were wet, round like lapis lazuli, sparkling with self-pity that made my heart soften slightly. I patted his head, then immediately leaned over and said to the master: "No need, master. Having reindeer is enough.” “Besides, what about special bloodlines? He has broken his dantian and his cultivation level has also been destroyed. If he cannot recover, he will only be a useless waste beast for the rest of his life!”
