Chapter 2
Chapter 2 — Mien Mien Tuyet Lac
As soon as my words ended, Ly Yem - the one who used to be a divine bird, the one I sacrificed everything to save - was so frightened that his whole body trembled, screaming miserably: "What? Mien Mien, how could you... Before, you were clearly the one who cared about me the most..." He struggled and flapped his wings, wanting to rush towards me, but those withered wings only made him more miserable. However, the injury was so severe that he could only fly more than a foot before falling to the ground with a "thump" sound, unconscious on the spot. Laughter erupted from all around - everyone was made to laugh out loud by his pathetic and stupid appearance. Seeing him so miserable, I felt... extremely refreshed. In my previous life, I paid everything for him, but without hesitation he killed me, dragging the entire sect to bury him with me. Yet in this life, he has the audacity to come and entangle me? Was he kicked in the head by a horse? Shouldn't he rush into the heart of his junior sister, stand shoulder to shoulder with her, and practice both the way and the way? Sure enough, as soon as his sister Tong Khanh saw this, he quickly ran over, completely ignoring the blood and foul smell on his body, and gently hugged him. "Master! He looks so pitiful, I can't see death without saving him! I vow to make a contract with him and help him heal!" Master glanced briefly at the gray wolf standing next to her - the spirit beast she had chosen earlier - clearly seeing that it was starting to look unhappy. The person was thoughtful, his voice full of awkwardness: "Khanh Nhi, you have established a contract, you absolutely cannot betray easily. Furthermore, this crane's injury is too heavy, I'm afraid I... am not able to bear it..." Before he could finish his words, Tong Khanh angrily interrupted: "Master, it's clear that you and my sister are both your disciples, why are you so biased?" "Just now, you told senior sister to make a contract with two spirit beasts, but it wasn't my turn to get it! Do you want to leave all the good opportunities for senior sister alone?" As soon as the words ended, waves of harsh criticism echoed throughout the school: "Junior sister Tong Khanh, the master is obviously thinking about you, why are you talking so vaguely?" "Think about it, how is your cultivation, how is senior sister? Senior sister can carry two spirit beasts, can you?" "This gray wolf was originally prepared by the master for senior sister. His strength is not weak at all. It's not enough for you to take it, and you're still greedy and want to take the divine bird? That's too much!" Each person said a word, scolding him so much that Tong Khanh's face turned red and he had nowhere to hide. Tong Khanh quickly couldn't stand the pressure and burst into tears: "I knew it right away, all of you are biased, always defending my sister!" "I don't care! I must sign a contract with the two spirit beasts! I want to prove to you all - what my sister can do, I can do too!" Master was so upset by her that he had no choice but to reluctantly wave his hand and reluctantly give permission. I stood to the side and watched her cry and throw a tantrum, just feeling extremely ridiculous. Very good. So in this life, I want to see: Without me risking my life to rush forward, without me losing sleep and food to gather every drop of genius and earthly treasure, With only your lazy and gluttonous personality, how will you plan to help that disabled bird gather in the Nei Dan? After bringing the reindeer back to his place, he immediately hugged me and demanded to sign a contract. I am open-minded hesitant. Although the contract is a binding bond between both parties, remembering the tragic ending of our previous lives, we cannot help but be a little more cautious. The reindeer seemed to notice my hesitation, his watery eyes showed a bit of hurt: "Do you... really like that white crane that much? Do you still remember him until now?" "You don't really believe what he said, do you? He's trash, how can he return to the Divine Altar?" “If we really let him return, it would be a disgrace to the entire Divine Beast clan!” Looking at that childish look of resentment and jealousy, I suddenly burst out laughing. "What are you thinking? Haven't I told you before — Having you is enough." Hearing that, his eyes lit up, he retracted his gauze, carefully avoiding hurting me, and kept rubbing back and forth against me like he was being spoiled. "Really? So tell me, am I more beautiful or is he more beautiful?" That question makes us not know whether to laugh or cry. Finally, I had to hold back my laughter and replied lightly: "You are the most beautiful, okay?" The reindeer was extremely pleased, gently twirling around a few times as if performing, looking extremely elegant. Seeing that, the fear in my heart about signing a contract also suddenly dissipated somewhat. I know clearly that if I continue to be bound by the ghosts of my previous life, then in this life I will never be able to break through the demons of my mind, nor will I be able to continue on the path of practice. Taking a deep breath, I asked him in a low voice: "Have you really thought it through? Once you make a contract, you will not be able to betray in this life. If you do, even if I have to self-explode the Golden Pill, I will drag you to death with me!" I originally thought the reindeer would hesitate. After all, although spirit beasts can form contracts with humans, they are still essentially two different races. Who can guarantee that he will not develop duplicity? If you lose your life because of that... it's truly more harmful than good. However, completely contrary to expectations, not only did the reindeer not retreat, but in those dark eyes, there was also a gentle look of sadness. {Read full at Nguyet Hoa Cac page} “Don't worry.” "Once I have chosen you, it will last forever and forever, absolutely unchanged." “I can swear to Heaven: If there is a trace of betrayal in my heart, then may Heaven bring down a heavenly tribulation, make my soul scatter, and never enter reincarnation!” Hearing that oath, my heart trembled slightly. In an instant, all hesitation disappeared. I immediately used my mind technique, drawing a drop of my heart from the top of my heart and integrating it into his body. Contract... completed. From now on, as long as the soul is not destroyed, this contract will be eternal. Immediately after that, the reindeer's body suddenly changed - He shrank to the size of a small weasel, obediently circling around my feet, his tail waving playfully. That look is really... so adorable, it makes my heart melt. I immediately picked him up and hugged him. The reindeer tilted his head, gently rubbed his cheek against my face, his voice sweet: "You... still don't know my name, right? Remember, my name is Hong Du." “Hong Du?” — I unconsciously repeated that name. At that moment, his eyes suddenly became burning like fire - staring at me intently, without even blinking. My heart skipped a beat — my face turned red like it was burning. "What are you doing? Mien Mien, why are you hugging him?!" Ly Yem didn't know when she woke up. She staggered and flew over, her whole body covered in blood, her eyes filled with pain. Tong Khanh also ran after, a faint but sharp trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes. “Senior sister, you already have reindeer, why don't you know how to be shameless and seduce my spirit beast?” Ly Yem's body was covered in injuries, her voice sounded like she was about to cry: "Mian Mien, why didn't you choose me in this life? It's clear that you once loved me so much, could it be... that you really want to leave me?" "You leave that reindeer and come back to me to make a contract, okay? I know you're still angry with me, it's okay. As long as you're willing, even if it's just a master-servant contract, I'm willing... I just ask that you don't leave me..." Hong Du reindeer snorted coldly, eyes full of contempt looking at him. He suddenly jumped out of my arms, gently landed on the ground, and then regained his adult form - tall and elegant like the early winter moonlight. I just saw him raise his head high, take a step forward, then... "POP!" A neat kick with his front hoof, directly kicking Ly Yem rolling on the ground. "Where did this kind of garbage come from? Just walked in and already the whole yard is rotten, and you can't get out of my sight!" Tong Khanh quickly hugged Ly Yem and shouted angrily: "Sister! How can you tolerate your spirit beast attacking others like that? That's too much!" "I understand! You have a reindeer, so you look down on all of us, right? But don't forget - he is the god bird Tat Phuong. As long as he recovers from his injuries, he will immediately return to the Divine Beast level! At that time, don't blame us for not giving you a way to live!" In her heart, Ly Yem was trying to struggle, her eyes full of resentment and unwillingness, as if she was screaming because she had lost something that belonged to her. There was no other way, Tong Khanh reluctantly hugged him and left. The space immediately became quiet again. I gently rubbed my forehead - my temples felt like they were about to explode, images from my previous life flooded back like a flood, making me unable to resist. That scene repeats itself in my memory, making it difficult for me to breathe. Suddenly a small white shadow jumped up and hugged my neck tightly. Hong Du - in her miniature form - gently extended her soft red tongue, gently licking my cheek, as gentle as melting snow in early spring. The itchy feeling makes me laugh, and the sadness in my heart also reduces by more than half. Thinking of Ly Yem - the person who was cold-blooded and heartless in his previous life, but now acting infatuated, I couldn't help but frown with caution. What exactly is he planning? Could it be that he wants to... deceive me again, letting me pave the way for him to level up, like in his previous life? But... I am no longer the me of my previous life.
