Chapter 7 — Transcending the Sky into a Master of Destiny

Vien Vien took the opportunity to hug my waist tightly.

“They are all unreliable, I should still be with my master.”

Tieu Cuu, who had always said nothing, finally raised his eyes. Immediately afterwards, nine snow-white fox tails appeared in mid-air. Thump! Thump! Thump! Vien Vien, A Thanh, Tieu Bach and Com Com were swept out at the same time. Tieu Cuu coldly pulled me behind him.

“Everyone stay away from her.”

The yard was immediately quiet. After being tormented for more than half a day, I learned that they can switch between human and animal forms. It's just that the true name has not yet fully recovered. When the force is not enough, they will automatically return to their original form. Tieu Cuu prefers to use human images. The remaining four animals are still used to keeping their animal form. Looking at the nine tails behind him slowly disappearing, I am even more convinced that this is just a transformation due to bloodline evolution. It's just that after transforming, Tieu Cuu's personality seems to be worse than before. At night, after taking a shower, as soon as I entered the room, I saw Tieu Cuu sitting at the table.

“Why aren't you sleeping yet?”

He didn't answer, just held a clean towel and gently wiped the drops of water from my hair. Long, slender fingers occasionally touched the lobe of his ear, bringing with it a slightly cold feeling.

“Liu Thien Danh is lying.”

Tieu Cuu said in a low voice:

"If you refused him that day, he certainly wouldn't let it go."

I remembered the scene in the Ancestral Palace and nodded.

"I know. I'll stay away from him a little later."

“It's not just staying away for a bit.”

Tieu Cuu looked down at me.

“Don't ever meet him alone again.”

When he spoke, he bowed slightly. Silver hair slides down my shoulders. The distance between the two immediately narrowed. So close that I could clearly see his eyelashes and feel his breath falling on my forehead. My body stiffens. Only then did I slowly realize— The person in front of me was no longer a small fox that I could casually hug. Over the next few days, many strange little beasts gradually appeared outside the wasteland. The first to appear was a crippled gray rabbit. It hid behind the field and watched me all day. It wasn't until it was dark that I mustered up the courage to jump to the yard door. Yuan Yuan recognized it.

"It is also a waste beast in the Qi Beast Valley. Previously, the four names failed, and the right leg could no longer heal."

I picked up the gray rabbit and helped it clean its wound.

"Even though you're injured like this, you still dare to run so far alone."

The gray rabbit curled up in my arms, his uneasy ears trembling slightly. I patted its head.

“From now on, let's call it Khieu Khieu.”

“I hope that in the future, wherever you want to go, you can jump there yourself.”

Warm white light shines from within its body. The twisted right leg recovered little by little. Silver clouds appear in the middle of the gray fur. It jumped off my lap, gently bounced, and directly passed half of the spiritual field. The next day, Tieu Bach brought home a small deer that was blind in both eyes. We named it "Minh Minh". The moment the name was given, the gray membrane covering its eyes turned into starlight and dissipated, and a pale yellow pattern appeared on its forehead. On the third day, a puppy whose larynx had been cut off arrived. It was clearly so scared that its whole body was shaking, but it still blocked the smaller animals. We named it "Dung Dung". That night, it let out its first bark. Blood The sleeping Toan Nghe veins in the body also awaken. More and more waste beasts are coming out of Qi Beast Valley. There are children with crippled legs, there are children with blind eyes, there are children whose spiritual veins are destroyed because of the failure of the four names, and there are also children who have been judged to have no awakening value at birth. I set up a table in the yard and took the old notebook I left behind. Every time a child comes, I write down a name for it. The cowardly one is called Dai Dam. The child with a weak body is called Truong Sinh. The small snake whose whole body is cold is called Noan Noan. The little black panther that always hides in the dark is called Chieu Chieu. The names we give are not majestic. I just hope their future days can be a little better than before. But every time a name is given, a stream of starlight descends between heaven and earth. Some beasts recover from injuries, some regrow spiritual veins, some awaken ancient blood, and even some beasts have extremely weak divinity in their bodies. In just seven days, the originally deserted wasteland was filled with all kinds of small animals. Rabbits lie on the edge of the field, lynx perch on the roof, a herd of deer lies beside the ling stream, and under the kitchen are hidden three small mice secretly eating Thanh Hoa cakes. Com Com squatted in front of the kitchen door, looking at them warily.

“Master, they stole our rice.”

“Yesterday you stole their three-day rations.”

Com Com bowed his head, pretending not to hear. A Thanh perched on my shoulder, watching the little animals chase each other and play in the fields, rarely without opening his mouth to make fun of me. Tieu Bach flipped through the increasingly thick list of books, jade light appeared in the bottom of his eyes. Every name given to me is more than just a way of addressing me. Those names are connecting through the invisible Heavenly Path to their most complete destiny. We don't know what name they used to have before. But Thien Dao will obey this blessing and help them make up for their lost reputation. Tieu Bach closed his mouth and did not tell me what he saw. I just looked at the little animals filling the field and then began to seriously think about a practical problem.

“Should we grow ten more acres of food this year?”

In the abandoned ling field, the sounds of animals calling one after another immediately rang out. On the seventh day after the five beasts transformed, in the Qi Beast Valley suddenly came the pitiful cries of young beasts. A Thanh, Vien Vien, Tieu Bach and Com Com went to see first, but Tieu Cuu insisted on staying with us.

“I won't leave you alone.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the four beasts left, dark lines lit up under the waste spirit field. The formation borrowed the connection between the remaining names of the five beasts, forcibly locked Tieu Cuu, pulling him towards the Qi Beast Valley. Nine-tailed Tieu Cuu appeared at the same time, pushing me out of the formation.

“Wait for my return.”

His figure blinked away, leaving only a few blood-stained fox fur. Before I could catch up, the ground suddenly shook violently. Tens of thousands of spirit beasts poured out from the wilderness. Their eyes were bloodshot, their bodies were full of black iron spikes, crazily stabbing into Thanh Lam citadel's great formation. At the same time, Waste Linh Dien was surrounded by people. Four great families of Menh Danh led their guests and dependent forces to block the abandoned spirit field. Lieu Thien Danh stood at the front. He raised his hand and pointed at me.

"Lam Nghien arbitrarily changed the true name of the spirit beast, disturbing the order of Thien Dao, leading to riots of thousands of beasts. The evidence is real!"

Trieu Hanh also shouted loudly:

"Lam Nghien does not die, the order of Destiny in the world will be chaotic!"

The Thanh Lam Tong Discipline Hall and the Menh Nam Association also ran over when they heard the news, but were stopped by monks from the family outside. Those who called for me to pay for my life were mostly guests and dependents brought by the four great families.

“Hand over the five demon beasts!”

“Abolish her destiny of Destiny!”

“Use her life to stabilize the beast tide!”

I held the basket of vegetables, my mind was fuzzy.

“What does the beast tide have to do with me?”

Lieu Thien Danh smiled coldly.

“Your five spirit beasts disappeared just in time when the beast tide appeared, and you still dare to say it has nothing to do with you?”

I turned my head to look at the empty courtyard. Could it be that those five guys caused trouble again? But Tieu Bach is calm, Tieu Cuu is careful. Even though A Thanh has a poisonous mouth, he will not make fun of the entire life of a tyrant. What's more, the spirit beasts in the beast tide clearly have problems. The black nails on their bodies were extremely similar to the old wound around Tieu Cuu's neck. It's obvious they're being forced to control them.
