Chapter 4 — Thuong Nguyet Thanh Ca

(8) In this life... I came for you. A sentence suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart. In his expectant eyes, I seriously nodded: "I've thought about it carefully." In my heart, an irrepressible love has arisen, like a flower blooming in front of a cave, passionate and pure. Under Thanh Loan's radiant, happy gaze, a blue pattern gradually spread onto my wrist, the delicate pattern seemed to contain spiritual light, shining with metallic light, deeply engraved on my wrist. At the same time, the marriage contract was formed. The inside of his wrist also shows a silver pattern. If you look closely, you will see the shape of a little fox curled up sleeping peacefully. Thanh Loan did not know where a jar of wine appeared from, then took out a gourd cut into two halves, pierced by a red thread that was neither long nor short. I asked curiously: "What is this?" He smiled: "It's the wedding cup that mortals use in the mountains." He poured wine into the two halves of the gourd. I gently tapped my head: "I know this! It's called suitable wine, right?" Thanh Loan reached out and rubbed my head, constantly praising: "My family A Doanh is so smart!" I proudly raised my head - I may not be proficient in magic, but I've flipped through the original stories with all kinds of twists and turns until the edges of the books wrinkled! Our little fox is very smart! I imitated him, drinking all the wine in my half gourd. At that moment, he looked at me, his eyes sparkling with light, and then read the words: "Praying to be of the same mind." I remembered the story I had read, so I took out scissors from the storage ring, cut a small lock of hair from him, then cut a lock of mine, tying it into a clumsy knot. “This is called — tying your hair to become husband and wife.” Thanh Loan heard me speak so seriously, so she carefully put that hair knot in a brocade bag, then put it in a ring to store like a treasure. When everything was done, he looked at me for a long time. His hand pressed against the back of my neck, gently bowing my head and kissing me. The teenager's lips were as soft as spring water, stirring the calm lake in my heart. I quickly raised my hand to cover my heart as if it was about to jump out of my chest, closed my eyes, accepted that kiss, and gently responded. He hugged me, his whole body...so warm that it could melt my entire heart. Right at that moment — when he and I were passionately kissing... a sound of broken barrier rang out at the cave entrance, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps getting closer and closer. Thanh Loan left a little frustrated, used her spiritual power to suppress the abnormality on her body, bowed her head and coaxed me: "Ah Doanh, don't run around. I'll go out and see what's going on." I softly said "Hmm", calmed my mind, then suddenly remembered - in my previous life, right around this time... something happened. Phi Tu Tien Quan is very strong, but because he is too strong, he can easily bring disaster upon himself. He was born with a sword bone, practiced the Emotionless Way, and had the highest level of cultivation in the world, and because of that, he soon caught the eyes of the Demon Race... In his previous life, it was also at this time that the Demon Army of the Demon World suddenly attacked Thanh Kiem Mountain, intending to capture Phi Tu Tien Quan alive, in order to prove his superior cultivation strength. In that battle, the Demon Clan was defeated and miserably fled. Even though Tien Quan won, he was injured too seriously, and the demonic energy penetrated his body, leading to the birth of a demonic mind. As for Thanh Loan, as a sacred beast and mount of Tien Quan, he was also seriously injured heavy, bones shattered, spiritual veins cracked. At that time, I was alone, worrying about taking care of both of them. The fat that I had raised since childhood in the fox clan was so skinny that there was nothing left of me, both mentally and physically exhausted to the end. Suddenly waking up from my memory, I quickly pulled Thanh Loan's sleeve. He lowered his eyes to look at me, his eyes were clear and gentle. Under the warm light of the glass lamp in the cave, the light in his eyes shone like broken jade - breathtakingly beautiful. “Tram Tinh.” The first time... I called his name. It was also the first time I discovered that that name, repeated in my mouth, was so gentle. He said "um" softly, not in a hurry, but with a gentle smile, his voice seemed to comfort a scared little fox: "A Doanh, don't be afraid. There is a magic formation in the cave to protect you, you will be okay." He bent down, hugged me with one hand, and gently kissed the top of my head like he was comforting a startled little animal. The faint scent of flowers surrounds me, so warm that it makes me a bit overwhelmed. I pulled out a piece of jade from my chest and stuffed it into his hand. Looking up at him, he said seriously: "This is a protective spirit. Tram Tinh, definitely - definitely you must not get hurt." In his previous life, he was injured more seriously than Tien Quan. At that time, he was almost half alive and half dead, blood covering his entire body. I don't know... is it because I'm greedy for the rare tenderness he once gave me, or... I'm really moved. It's just... I don't want to see him hurt so miserably again. After hearing that, he stopped. {Read full page at Nguyet Hoa Cac} Perhaps he didn't understand - why a little fox who previously opened his mouth was "Tien Quan" and closed his eyes was also "Immortal Monarch", now only worried about him. I still remember - his eyes were bright like broken stars at that time, the corner of his lips painted a gentle smile that was serious to the core. And then... he answered me with one word so softly, so firmly: "Okay." (9) I'm very worried about you. Now, Thanh Loan and I have become friends. If he doesn't change his mind, I certainly won't leave him. An emotion that's hard to name gradually covers me. I'm not sure if it's anxiety or shock. I only know that with my poor magic power, if I run out now, I'll only get in trouble and become an excuse for people to blame me. So I could only feel uneasy and stay in the cave, not daring to take a single step out. Every day of waiting passed as hard as being boiled over a small fire, cooked then fried, fried and then deep fried. My mind is never without fear, just afraid that one day I will see him like in my previous life - his whole body covered in blood, his breath fragile. Until the screams of the Demons outside the cave gradually subsided, and the strong smell of blood began to smell in the air. I walked out the cave entrance and lifted a few dense flower branches blocking the way. The white flowers emit a transparent jade light under the darkness, somewhat fading the strong smell of blood. I lifted the tree branch and looked towards the barrier in the distance. I saw that the broken barrier had been completely restored, glowing with a cold, pale white halo. That proves that Tien Quan is still safe, and can even restore the barrier protecting Thanh Kiem Mountain. But I couldn't feel at ease, my heart was beating so fast it felt like it was about to burst out of my chest, just afraid of hearing the news somehow bad. Who would have thought... just as he stepped out of the cave, a cold wind blew towards his face. I raised my head and immediately faced a pair of emotionless and lustless phoenix eyes, looking at me from above. That look had always been emotionless, but now I felt like it was examining. I took two steps back, widened the distance, bowed my head and bowed: "Seeing the Immortal Monarch." Co Phi Tu frowned slightly, wearing white clothes without a speck of dust, but the bottom of his eyes were dark and unpredictable, as if hiding something. “Have you signed a contract with Tram Tinh?” His voice was cold, like cold wind cutting the skin. I don't know why he asked like that, but right now I don't feel scared or oppressed, I'm no longer the timid little fox like in my previous life. I nodded and frankly admitted: "Yes, it's over." Tien Quan's face suddenly became strange, his eyes stopped on my wrist. I raised my hand and let him see clearly - the blue contract pattern was shining with sparkling glass. Tien Quan was silent for a long time, as if he wanted to say something but then held it back, his fingers tightened on his inner sleeve, his movements were somewhat awkward. But we don't have time to think about those things right now. I quickly asked: "Tien Quan, how is Tram Tinh?" Before he could finish his sentence, the tall immortal king suddenly staggered and fainted right in front of the cave entrance. His forehead hit the cliff, leaving a trail of bright red blood, life or death unknown. I panicked, quickly squatted down to check my breathing - luckily I was still breathing, only then did I feel a little reassured. The road is the Immortal Monarch Thanh Kiem Mountain, how can it lie there like that? I pulled out an old carpet from the storage ring and spread it on the ground. Using all my might, I dragged him inside. After a series of operations, I was so tired that I was drenched in sweat. I didn't expect that the person looking skinny turned out to be so heavy. Originally planning to leave immediately to find Tram Tinh, unexpectedly his exposed wrist caught his eye. I used my sleeve to cover his hand and turned his wrist over. Ignoring those long and beautiful fingers, in the middle of his wrist - there was a silver line, making my scalp tremble. It was… a silver fox, the form of my contract. When our fingertips come close, that pattern radiates a gentle light, as if... sensing our presence. In Co Phi Tu's hand... why does he have the same contract as Tram Tinh? This… what is the meaning of this!?
