Chapter 4 — Mien Mien Tuyet Lac

Her eyes unconsciously looked towards Hong Du, in her gaze there was both surprise and burning jealousy. He is so beautiful that... makes people jealous as soon as they see him, and scared as soon as they see him. At this time, Hong Du slowly walked forward, wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, his voice was low and seductive like snake bile, but also carried a chill that cut to the bone: "If you dare to touch her one more time... I will tear you into a hundred pieces." Hearing that, Tong Khanh's face turned pale, he trembled, got up and ran for his life, not bothering to look back. "Le Tieu Mien, you wait there! When Ly Yem recovers, I will make your life worse than death!" Looking at her defeated figure running away, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. After that, Hong Du and I went to the master's gathering place - unexpectedly we met Tong Khanh there again. This time, she no longer looked like she was struggling from before. On the contrary, his expression was unusually bright, and even... carried a bit of arrogance that was hard to hide. I frowned slightly. A bad premonition immediately arose in my heart. Before I could ask, Tong Khanh proactively raised his head and smiled proudly: "Le Tieu Mien, haven't you always looked down on me?" "What now? Ly Yem has also transformed, we are about to join you in the sect conference!" On one side, the master frowned slightly, his face showing concern and concern. "Khanh Nhi, the sect conference is not as simple as you think. This competition is being held in a secret place, that place is full of unknown dangers..." "Listen to your master, don't go anymore... okay?" But Tong Khanh snorted coldly and interrupted without any politeness: "Don't go?! Why can senior sister go, but I can't? Obviously my spirit beast has also transformed, is there anything I can't do?" Master patiently explained: "But your senior sister... has reached the level of Nguyen Anh, and you... are only in the early stage of Bac Co. Between the two of you..." Before the sentence could finish, Tong Khanh interrupted rudely: "Master, stop talking! I know in your heart you always favor your sister! But I must participate in this competition - I want to prove that I am not inferior to Le Tieu Mien!" For those who single-mindedly seek death, words of advice become meaningless. Seeing her so determined, the master could only sigh and reluctantly nodded in permission. When preparing to depart, everyone was present, only Tong Khanh refused to leave. As time passed by, the patience of the other disciples began to run out. "What's going on? Obviously your cultivation level is low, but you still want to participate in the competition with us. Isn't that implicating others?" "Where is your spirit beast? Since it was said to have transformed, then why has there been no sign of it until now? Or... has it actually never transformed at all?" Just while everyone was dissatisfied, Ly Yem finally slowly appeared. He was still wearing a white long robe, tall and handsome, with an impeccable appearance - but when standing next to Hong Du, he was like candlelight under the moonlight, dim without any light. He didn't pay attention to Tong Khanh who was happily waiting, but passed her as if he hadn't seen her, walking straight in front of me, his eyes sparkling with excitement. People around began to talk loudly: "That... is junior sister's spirit beast? Has he... really transformed?" "It can't be? Could it be... he's really a god?" Bird Tat Phuong?” I also feel strange. If it were a previous life, Ly Yeen would have been raised by me using the genius and earth treasure, so it wouldn't be strange for her to transform at this point. But in this life, Tong Khanh is lazy and has a shallow mind - how can he help him transform so quickly? Seeing me looking intently at Ly Yeem, Hong Du standing next to him immediately pouted, his eyes full of jealousy: "Mien Mien, why are you looking at him? He is not as beautiful as me!” Looking at his immature jealous appearance, I couldn't help but laugh: "That's right, that's right~ How can he compare to you? You are the most beautiful!” I smiled gently, but my eyes were still full of doubt: “It's just... I was thinking, why did he transform so quickly? This… really doesn't make sense at all.” Hearing that, Hong Du snorted coldly, glanced contemptuously at Ly Yeem: "Him? After swallowing the inner pill and cultivation base of that gray wolf, he can naturally transform into a strong person." My heart suddenly trembled - I immediately remembered: The spirit beast that Tong Khanh signed the original contract with... was a gray wolf with an extraordinary aura. It turns out that's it. As expected, those two people have strong hearts and will not spare any tricks. No wonder Ly Yem was able to suddenly transform into a human being - it was because he sucked out all the life force of that gray wolf. I sighed softly. It's a pity for that gray wolf - if it hadn't fallen into Tong Khanh's hands, I'm afraid it would have roamed the vast sky.

“Mien Mien!” Ly Yeem's voice rang out, pulling me out of my thoughts. He took a few steps forward, his eyes fascinated, wanting to hold my hand.

But Hong Du had already wrapped his arms around my waist and gently turned around - causing him to miss the shot in an instant. Ly Yem paused, her eyes filled with panic and sadness, her voice trembling: "Mian Mien... How could you treat me like that? Why are you... so unfaithful?!” Tears sparkled at the corners of his eyes, his painful gaze was like a dagger, making outsiders feel sad and unable to bear to look. But I'm different — My heart has been cold since my previous life. Ly Yeem's words full of false love made my goosebumps go down, and my instinct was to take a few steps back as if avoiding a pestilence. Tong Khanh immediately rushed forward, yanked Ly Yeem's hand back, his face extremely ugly: "Senior sister, are you really crazy so lonely? It's obvious that there are already reindeer, and you still have the audacity to seduce my spirit beast!” Unexpectedly, as soon as the words ended, Ly Yem turned around and slapped her hard - "Crap!"

“You bastard! Shut up for me! Who gave you permission to talk to Mien Mien like that?!” He turned his head, his voice shaking but his eyes burning like fire: "Mian Mien, can you forgive me?" After you left, I realized — The person I love from beginning to end, will always be you!” “I know, I hurt you too much in my past life. But now... everything hasn't happened yet, I will definitely make up for it! Give me a chance, let me and you be a magical couple... okay?" He looked at me expectantly, his eyes like a drowning man trying to catch the last blade of grass, hoping I would be soft-hearted and forgive him.

“Lovely fairy…?” Hong Du repeated those four words, his voice was as light as the wind, but each syllable made people's backs cold. “A piece of trash, dare to dream about my people?” “She is mine. No one is allowed to win. If you dare to have that thought again - I will crush your soul and make you disappear lost from the three worlds and six paths.”

After speaking, Hong Du hugged my waist and left, his back relaxed but cold, not bothering to look back. Only Ly Yeem stood there stunned, her eyes panicked, shedding tears like a lost soul. Tong Khanh stood beside him, gritting his teeth tightly, his eyes flashing with intense, dark hatred. After the teleportation gate opened, the participating disciples entered the secret realm one by one. The rules this time are extremely simple: - Each person competes independently, - Under conditions that do not endanger their lives, - As long as they defeat their opponent, they are considered winners. The first few days went extremely smoothly. Even without Hong Du taking action, I alone can easily eliminate most of my opponents. But on the fifth day, the deeper I went into the secret realm, the more I felt something... wasn't right. The atmosphere is too quiet. The number of people I meet is becoming less and less. Many disciples seemed to evaporate from the human world, leaving no trace. Until I entered a dark cave — The smell of blood rushed straight into my nose, making my heart shiver. The moment I entered, the scene before my eyes made my pupils contract violently - Mountains of corpses piled high, blood flowing into rivers. All the missing disciples are here. It's just a pity that... they are all dead. Even the spirit beasts contracted with them — Not a single one survived. In the center of the cave, a familiar shadow stood there quietly. He slowly turned around — It was Ly Yeem. His eyes were as red as blood, surrounded by demonic energy, thread by thread like a poisonous snake crawling around his body. He... is no longer the Ly Yen of his previous life, and is no longer the spirit beast that used to borrow the medicine I gave him to survive. At this moment, he clearly had stepped halfway into the Demon Path. Just to restore his divinity, he dared to commit mass murder, brutally draining the dantian and cultivation base of so many of his fellow disciples! As soon as he saw me, he immediately flashed a crazy smile: "Mian Mien... Just wait for me a little longer, I'm almost fully recovered!" "At that time... I will be together with you forever, no one can separate us anymore!" His eyes were hot and crazy, as if he wanted to swallow me to the core. My whole body shook violently, without thinking, I took a few steps back unconsciously. Currently, he has recovered eight percent of his strength, almost back to his peak. Tat Phuong is a true divine bird, and I... have just entered the realm of Nguyen Anh, compared to him, I am no different from an ant shaking a tree. I almost wanted to turn around and run away, but at that moment, Hong Du held my hand tightly, his eyes as determined as a mountain. He didn't say anything, but a gentle stream of spiritual energy passed into my body through that handhold - like a small fire warming the winter sky, gradually calming my mind.

“Mien Mien, don't be afraid.” “I will deal with him. As for you, immediately find the remaining disciples and retreat."
