《Rebirth : A Woman With Frozen Heart》 Prologue Prologue *Cough* Blood erupted from the woman''s mouth as she tried to gather all the miasma that came from the cursed jar she was holding in her hands. As the evil spirits invaded her body, breaking it from the inside so violently, a bitter smile escaped on her pale, moon like face. ''Heh.. I am foolish until the end, huh?'' *Cough* *Cough* Blood kept erupting from her soft lips as the cursed jar finally shattered to pieces. The woman fell to the ground, her eyes stared at night sky. There were no stars and the sky looked eerie and gloomy. It fit with her own situation. The woman''s bitter smile grew slightly wider as she kept on staring the gloomy night sky. She was recalling the life she had up until now. Her mother despised her because of her ability to see ghost and chose to raise her twin sister instead. She was adopted by Qing family but instead of love, she received hatred instead. Abuses, insults, molestation attempt, she endured all in hope someday they could love her. Yet in the end it was futile. It was just her own wishful thinking. A wish that would never happen not matter how many times she prayed to the heaven. ''Aahh.. So tired..'' The woman murmured inwardly. Her mind then drifted to another memory. It was a memory of her special person. Well.. special person only for her.. not for the other party.. A man who was cold and handsome. A man whose eyes only for her twin sister. A man she loved so Content ? N?velDrama.Org. dearly. A man who she gave her life to. A weak scoff escaped her lips that were tainted with blood. The woman felt her life was indeed pathetic, the worst and foolish kind of loser. No one loved her. No one cared for her. Her only friends were just those who were not living anymore. Yes.. her friends were only.. Ghosts.. ''Right.. truly pathetic..'' The woman''s eyelids fluttered, slowly droping and finally she closed her eyes, sumbing to dark. She wanted to let all go. At the end of her breath, she made a vow in her heart. ''In this life, I gave my life for you.. In the next life.. I want to live for myself..'' ''...I... Won''t fall in love with you for the second time...'' --- "Ming Yue!" A man with cold and handsome face ran toward a woman''s body. He dropped his knees as soon as he reached her and with a shaking hand he touched her face. Cold... yes.. the woman''s skin was cold.. at that moment he knew that he was toote. His heart felt empty and painful as if someone had gouged it out of his chest. Regret... yes, he regretted that he was toote to realize his own feeling. If it wasn''t for Ming Yue''s twin sister''s words, he wouldn''t realize it at all. This time, Long Zhi Qiang regretted so much. He took Ming Yue''s body into his arms as the heat forming at corner of his eyes, slowly but sure it umted and fell. "Ming Yue..." "Ming Yue.." "Ming Yue.." But, no matter how many times he called her names, the woman in his arms wouldn''t respond. A sob and groan filled anguish escaped Zhi Qiang''s lips as he tried to recall the memories he had with Ming Yue. However he only recalled his cold treatment towards her. Ming Yue who always greeted him with warm smile. Ming Yue who always had time for him whether daytime or night time. Ming Yue who always supported him from the side, encouraging him to get close to Ying Yue. Ming Yue who gave her life to save him from ''The Curse Of Thousand Spirits''. Yes.. to that warm and kind, Ming Yue.. Zhi Qiang only gave her cold treatment.. Closing his eyes, Zhi Qiang tightened his embrace on Ming Yue''s cold body. Then.. he made a vow.. "Ming Yue, if there is a next life.. I will give my heart to you.." Yes.. all of it.. belonged to Ming Yue.. His heart.. His body.. His soul..

(#^.^#) I know there will be mistakes in my writing but I will try hard to learn more! ?(* *)?? ?(* ¡ì? ...)?? I hope you kind readers'' understanding and I hope you kind readers love my story! (*¡ä `*) Unshackled Unshackled Inside a space, four shadows stood as they saw the death scene of a certain woman in outside world. Their eyes filled with sadness as the woman''s eyelids started fluttering and Slowly closed. The four shadows grieved over the woman''s death as if they wanted to exchange position with the woman. They wanted death came to them instead of the woman. "I really can''t stand it any longer! Why mydy has to suffer like that?!", one of the shadow growled viciously. "Calm down, Bai Hu." the second shadow said in calmly manner. "Calm down?! How can I calm down when the master I suppose to protect had suffered like that?!" Bai Hu roared at the second shadow. "I am not like YOU who can still be calm while seeing mydy suffered so much grievances! Sometimes I wonder if you really think of mydy as your master!" "Don''t you DARE judge me. I am not a certain someone who wore emotion as his sleeve." The second shadow said in icy tone. "What did you mean by that?! Are you trying to say that I am emotional?!" "Well aren''t you?" "You bastard!!" "ENOUGH!" Another shadow cut in between, the tone was soft yet strict. "Can''t the both of you be friendly towards each other instead of bickering every single time?" "It''s this guy''s fault!!" Both Bai Hu and the second shadow shouted at the same time. "Hehe~ Leave them be Zhu Que, it''s their way of interacting" Thest shadow spoke after being silent up till now. "They are best friend after all~" "We''re not best friend!" Once again both Bai Hu and the second shadow shouted in sync. Realizing that, they locked eyes with each other while growling. "I won''t cut in the middle if they weren''t too noisy and stop acting as if you care about them, Xuan Wu. I know you said those words because I interrupted your fun." Xuan Wu chuckled, clearly didn''t mind being seen through by Zhu Que "My sweet Zhu Que is smart as always~" Zhu Que rolled her eyes upon hearing Xuan Wu''s remark before turning her gaze towards the stupid duo who were still growling at each other. "Bai Hu, Qing Long stop it right now or else--" Her eyes shed a dangerous glint as three ball of golden me appeared at both sides of her body and on top of her head. Her body emitted a dangerous aura as if daring both parties to go against her. Bai Hu and Qing Long who saw the mes and noticed the dangerous aura surrounded her body, froze instantly. They nced at each other before turning their head away. Silence finally came to the space C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. where the four of them resided. Zhu Que who saw both parties finally calm down, nodded in satisfaction. On the side, Xuan Wu could only tried to hold hisughter seeing the docile act of Bai Hu and Qing Long. No matter how many times he saw it, it could always tickle his funny bone. Among the four of them, Zhu Que was considered the leader because only Zhu Que who could tame both Bai Hu and Qing Long. "Look." Zhu Que turned her gaze back at the floating image in front of them. "The chain that was binding My Lady''s soul finally unshackled.." Seeing the image, Bai Hu and Qing Long wore ted. It could be seen clearly on their faces. "Finally.. I can serve mydy again.." Bai Hu muttered with a sense of longing. "''The Curse of Thousand Spirits'' is indeed strong, it can even destroy the curse chain that was binding My Lady''s soul" Qing Long said, his eyes never left the screen. Longing could be seen clearly in his eyes then soon it was added with a sense of worry. "Now that Mydy has reincarnated, going through the same path again, I am worried about this curse." "Don''t worry, this time She has us by her side. Now that curse chain of that wicked goddess has gone, she can use this space and her power again." Zhu Que said in gentle tone. "But will she be able to remember us?" Xuan Wu asked "If she remember us then.." "We will seeter." Zhu Que said in firm tone despite the uneasiness that was gnawing inside. She really hoped that her master would be able to remember them but at the same time she also didn''t want her to remember. Because she knew if her master remembered them all, then she would remember the life she had and the betrayal that caused her to be in mortal realm. Zhu Que''s only wish was for her master to be happy. Yes.. that was her only wish.. "What about the man?" Xuan Wu asked as he gazed at the man who was holding his master''s dead body. His expression was unreadable but in his pair of emerald colored eyes, anger could be seen. "Well it would be better if that man stay away from our master. Since time will return to 10 years ago, that man will keep giving the cold treatment to our master right?" Bai Hu said, clearly happy with the idea that the man would stay away from his master. "I agree. Personally I don''t like that man." Qing Long added. "Why?" Zhu Que asked, "Is it because he was the reason for her death?" "....No." Qing Long answered, "It''s for another reason." Yet, even after a long silence Qing Long didn''t state what was the reason. How could he? The reason he had was nothing but a hunch. Because the man called Long Zhi Qiang has the same aura as HIM. Qing Long wanted to confirm it first. If Zhi Qiang was indeed the man he thought he was, then it would be better to make his master stayed as far away from him as possible. "Okay now it''s time to greet mydy." Bai Hu said with a wide grin, showing off his fangs. "Be polite, Bai Hu. Don''t make her scared, you understand?" warned Zhu Que "Of course I won''t! who do you think I am?" Bai Hu "An emotional beast." Qing Longmented "WHAT?! ARE YOU TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT, YOU STINKY LIZARD?!" Bai Hu roared "I am a DRAGON! How dare you call an honorable dragon, a lizard! Youme cat!" "LAME YOU SAID?! I AM A MIGHTY TIGER!!" "Lame cat is enough for you." "WHY YOU--" *Wush, Wush, Wush* Three ball of golden mes flew fast towards both Bai Hu and Qing Long and hit Bai Hu twice and Qing long once. "GAAAAH! HOT!!" "GUUUH!" Bai Hu and Qing Long screamed in pain. It took a while before the painpletely gone and what was waiting for both of them was the cold and murderous gaze of Zhu Que. "Do you guys still want to continue bickering?" asked Zhu Que with a sweet smile that didn''t even reach her phoenix eyes. The smile alone could send shivers down their spine. "No, Maam." Both Bai Hu and Qing Long answered in synchronize. "Then it''s time to do what we have to do, right?" said Zhu Que while keeping the same sweet yet dangerously deadly smile. "Yes, Maam." Both Bai Hu and Qing Long answered. From the side, Xuan Wu chuckled softly while shook his head. Indeed, nothing scarier than a gentle woman in rage.

My Lady said that mortals use this object everyday, there isn''t a single time they left this object behind. It makes me wonder what is so marvelous about this tiny rectangr object. I thought this so called ''Smartphone'' is just a tool formunication but I was wrong. The more I learn, the more I think that ''Smartphone'' is wonderful. There is this application called ''Famebook'' which mortals use share their hobbies, thoughts, many other trivia. I already set up my email, unlike a certainme cat, I don''t need help to do it. After registering, finally I can use Famebook. At first I don''t know what to share nor do I know how to put pictures to my profile. I was going to put my own pictures but My Lady forbids it. She said my pictures can create chaos to the world. As expected of My Lady, she really knows how charming I am. I bet she doesn''t want to share me with others. I don''t want that as well. My Lady, this Qing Long will only have eyes for you. Rest assured. I finally share the poetry I have for My Lady on Famebook. Hmm? What''s with thesements? They said my poetry is too cheesy?! How dare they insult an honorable dragon like me with such words! I want to create flood as a warning for these mortals!! Ah.. forget that. I feel a sharp reing from My Lady when I said it.. How unfortunate.. I can''t punish those annoying mortals.. Well I shall ignore them.. An honorable dragon like me is way above them They don''t know true art of poetry.. Tomorrow, I will post another poetry at Famebook. The proof of my eternal love to My Lady Return To The Past Return To The Past "If it is a sin to love you then I shall dly bear it." "If it is a crime to desire you, then I shall dly take any punishment given to me." "But you must remember, Chang''e.. No matter how many times you reject me, curse me, insult me, I won''t give up." "You can run away even to end of the earth or deep into the abyss, I.. Zhong Kui, will never let you go." "Your heart, body, soul, everything that you are, belongs to me." The voice of a man, cold and deep yet sensually dangerous echoed in Ming Yue''s mind. She didn''t even know why she could hear things even though she was dead. Was it the voice of a spirit? But why the voice sounded familiar to her ears? ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . -------------- *BAM! BAM! BAM!* With loud knocking that could woke the dead, Ming Yue opened her eyes with a gasp of air. Her eyes spread wide, staring at the ceiling that looked familiar to her. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she kept staring at the ceiling. That ceiling was the basement inside Qing family house. Ming Yue''s very own room. *BAM! BAM! BAM!* "Slut! wake up and make breakfast!" A shout belong to none other than her adoptive mother, Gu Sui Rong could be heard clearly from outside of the room. "Right away." Ming Yue answered knowing that if she didn''t reply, Sui Rong wouldn''t let her go. Steps could be heard as it slowly disappeared, Ming Yue breathed a sigh of relief before her eyes gazing around the room. ''What exactly happened here?'' Ming Yue asked inwardly. Such question was normal since Ming Yue knew she supposed to be dead. The room she was in always had a pleasant scent even though it was a basement. Her bed was just matress on the floor and her furniture only had small table and counter made of boxes that was originally in the basement. The venttion she had was just small window that was facing the garage. Then Ming Yue reached for the small mirror near the counter and looked at herself. Her jaw dropped slightly as she couldn''t believe what she saw. The reflection showed a young girl, around 15 years old. A pale white face with a sense of gloominess yet still beautiful nheless. It seemed Ming Yue had returned to 10 years ago. Was this the so called reincarnation? Maybe heaven pitied her and granted her another life so she could restart her own life. Her lips curled upward, turning into a soft smile. Her vow, she still remembered it. This time, she would live for herself. This time, she would not bow down to anyone ever again. This time, she wanted to taste what it felt to truly live. Ming Yue''s mind drifted to a single person. Her eyes turned cold as she closed it for a while and opened it again. This time she would not go to that man. This time she would leave him alone. ''Long Zhi Qiang.. just as I vowed, I won''t fall in love with you for the second time.'' Ming Yue muttered inside as she stood up and walked to the door. ''I have loved once and it was painful.'' ''Now, I have no need for love.'' ''Heaven.. if you hear my prayer, let my heart be frozen for eternity'' ''That way it won''t be broken'' ''That way it won''t get hurt'' ----------- Ming Yue arrived at the dining room and saw four person gazed at her coldly. If it was in the past, Ming Yue wouldn''t be able to meet their eyes. She was afraid to see the coldness that was directed at her. Now, she stared at them back with the same cold gaze. It caused the four pair of eyes startled. "What were you doing in your room?! Can''t you see that we are waiting for you to cook our breakfast?!" Sui Rong said in anger. "Hmph! Disaster child will always be disaster child. No wonder your mother abandoned you." Sui Rong added with a sneer. Staring at the woman indifferently, Ming Yue didn''t even refute. Instead, she walked toward the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for those rotten people. "Hmph! What rotten hag.. I am amazed you can withstand this long living with those people." A voice could be heard and soon a figure appeared next to Ming Yue, transparent and floating. The figure was a young girl in her teens, blood stained half of her pale face, showing the state when she died. "It''s the usual, nothing new." Ming Yue replied coldly. Yes, it was nothing new. The usual insults that happened almost every day for years, Ming Yue was used to it. Yet.. in past she kept on hoping that one day, her adopted family would ept her. In the past, Ming Yue was starving for love. Love from family, love from friends, love from special person. Still, she couldn''t get any of it. Ming Yueughed in mockery inside toward her past self, how foolish she was for kept on hoping for something that would nevere. The young girl stared at Ming Yue for a while before stating her opinion. "Are you okay?" she asked. Ming Yue turned her gaze to the young girl''s face while staring at her in confusion, "Of course. Why do you ask, Yu Ran?" Yu Ran shook her head, "It''s nothing. I just felt there is something different in you but maybe that was just my imagination." In fact what Yu Ran suspected was right on the mark. Ming Yue revealed a bitter smile but it disappeared quickly. She had been reborn, of course it would leave a sense of mark in her soul and ghosts were sensitive to that kind of mark. Finished making breakfast, Ming Yue took the leftover she cast aside before presenting the food on the dining table as her breakfast. She was not allowed to eat at the dining room so she ate her breakfast at the kitchen instead. Eating, cleaning the kitchen then preparing for school was the daily activities Ming Yue had in the past life. However she didn''t want to do it anymore. Now, Ming Yue nned to break away from this hellish house. This time for sure, she would leave this house and never returned.

( ¡ì ...)/) "Look who is trying to be beautiful, isn''t that your sister, Xu Lin?" A girl who sat next to Xu Lin spoke and nudged her waist spoke as soon as Ming Yue entered the ssroom. Qing Xu Lin nced at Ming Yue who cameter than her with clean appearance. In the past, Ming Yue didn''t really pay attention to her own appearance. Her hair was often slightly messy and she always looked down, evading people eyes. It gave the sense of gloomy and depressing in other people''s view. Now Ming Yue carefullybed and styled her hair for a little bit, not looking down even once, revealing her pale but jade like beautiful face. She showed indifferent expression toward her ssmates, not even care the gazes that were directed at her. Such difference in attitude was a contrast to her past self. However what Ming Yue didn''t know was that from the moment she died due to being the sacrifice of The Curse of Thousand Spirits and reborn, her soul and body had developed into different being. Thus the aura of gloominess that always surrounded her already disappeared, reced by an elegant, alluring, divine aura. Ming Yue herself couldn''t feel it but others could. They couldn''t help but nced at Ming Yue from time to time. Qing Xu Lin cursed inwardly for the sudden change of Ming Yue but her expression never revealed her Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. disdain toward her adoptive sister. She was the popr Qing Xu Lin after all. A sweet and gentle smile appeared on Qing Xu Lin''s face, "Well it''s good that Yue er wants to be beautiful. Every person has the chance to change themselves whether it is suitable or not, right?" Some of the girls giggled, clearly knew that Cu Lin''s words were meant to mock Ming Yue. Ming Yue didn''t even refute, not because she couldn''t but because it wasn''t worth it. Her mind was already upied by the ns she made for moving out of the Qing house. started from Job, living expenses, ce to live. It was 07.00 and when the teacher came, the ss finally began. In the past, Ming Yue was an introvert girl with so-so academy ability. It was not because she was stupid but because she couldn''t concentrate. The moment ss began, ghosts at school sometimes made noises that only she could hear, of course it would break her concentration. Just like what happened right now. Ming Yue sighed as some ghosts of delinquent kids screaming and singing like mad people. Looked like she also needed to find a way to deal with these ghosts. "Ming Yue." The Math teacher, Mo Liu called her name. "Yes, Sir." Ming Yue answered, trying to ignore the noise came from those delinquent ghosts. "Answer question number 3." Mo Liu ordered. "Yes." Ming Yue stood up and walked to the white board. However when she was about to reach the board, a rough voice echoed in her mind followed by a painful headache. "Master!" ''Wha..'' Ming Yue stopped abruptly and touched her forehead. "Master! Can you hear me?" The voice spoke once more and this time the headache became more painful, Ming Yue let out a soft groan of pain as she put her hand on the teacher''s desk before her consciousness was dragged away by the darkness. Mo Liu saw the strange state of Ming Yue, his brow furrowed in confusion and when he was about to ask what was wrong with her, Ming Yue fainted on the floor. The ss was in an uproar seeing the fainted Ming Yue and Mo Liu, being an experienced teacher, he lifted and carried Ming Yue to the health room. _____________ "Master." "Master, wake up!" ''So Noisy'' Ming Yueined inside as she opened her eyes, what greeted her was a huge face of a white tiger with its fangs, grinning at her. While screaming, Ming Yue pped the white tiger''s face hard and made some distance between her and the tiger. "Guh!" The white tiger groaned in pain and shook its head for a few time, "As expected of Master. Your p is powerful as always." Ming Yue blinked a few times, looking dumbfounded. ''Did it just talk?'' ''It DID talk, right?'' ''I am not hearing things, right?'' "No Master, you''re not hearing things. I really can talk. It''s a given if I can talk. I am the mighty Bai Hu, the heavenly beast of the west ~" Bai Hu said smugly, clearly proud of himself. ''Wow, what a snobby tiger.'' Ming Yue thought inside. "How mean of you, Master! I am not a snobby Tiger!" Bai Hu retorted in sulky manner, clearly felt that he was wronged. Not to far from behind the sulky white tiger, three huge creatures could be seen. A Vermilion Bird, a Dragon and a Turtle with snake coiled around its body. There were ck lines on their head seeing Bai Hu''s behavior. Zhu Que : "He really DID scare her." Qing Long : "I like how Master pped him. I wish she p him a bit more." Xuan Wu : "I agree with Master, he is kind of snobby." Zhu Que : "And why he greeted Master as if he was promoting himself?" Qing Long : "Humph! He needs a few more p." Xuan Wu : "Qing Long, you really want it that bad, huh?" "Shut up! I can hear you clearly!" Bai Hu turned his head, growling to three. "Excuse me for disturbing youredy show, but where am I?" Ming Yue who paid attention to their bickering with lines over her head couldn''t help but asking the question. "Is this a dream? but, it feels real." Ming Yue looked down to stare at her own hand. she still remembered the feeling when her hand pped the white tiger. Zhu Que, the vermilion bird which human called phoenix flew closer toward Ming Yue. "This ce is not a dream, Master." She answered, "This ce is a ce that exist between dream and reality. "Wee to ''Tianshang De Kongjian'', Master!" Bai Hu said with a wide grin. Heavenly Space, Tianshang De Kongjian Heavenly Space, ''Tianshang De Kongjian'' (A/N : Thank you for reading this story. Please support the Author if you like this story by giving rate, likes andments! ( ¡ì ...)/) "Wee to ''Tianshang De Kongjian'', Master!" Bai Hu said with a wide grin. "Tianshang De Kongjian?" Ming Yue frowned, deep inside she felt as if the name was familiar and she couldn''t understand why. "It means ''Heavenly Space''. It''s a ce where all knowledge and aura exist. Of course it is also serves as unlimited storage. You can find anything you need here." Zhu Que exined. "Anything? like LITERALLY anything?" Ming Yue looked doubtful. For her it sounded magical. Well, as for her being a reincarnated person also sounded magical enough though. "Yes, Literally anything." Zhu Que assisted Ming Yue patiently. Ming Yue now paid attention to her surrounding carefully. Truly, the ce fit to be called ''Heavenly Space'', she was currently standing on grass field and on her left side there were flowers field. She could see an ancient pce a bit far away from where she stood, it looked majestic and divine. Bai Hu moved closer toward Ming Yue as she was busy paying attention to her surrounding and rubbed his body softly at her. "How is it, Master? It''s a great ce right?" Ming Yue flinched a bit having a huge white tiger rubbed on her body softly. Ming Yue loved animals, but having a white tiger whose body reached to her upper waist even though she had 169cm height, it was quite a daunting feeling. "Master, do I scare you?" Bai Hu asked, his clear blue tigerish eyes stared at her sadly. He looked like a pitiful cat that was abandoned by its owner. The corner of Ming Yue''s mouth twitched slightly, tortured betweenughter and tears. How could she not? seeing a huge white tiger acted pitiful yet he roared so fiercely at hisrade just now, the gap between those two behavior somehow baffled her. "Sorry, I am not scared of you. Just a little surprise, that is all." Ming Yue gave a soft, gentle smile. Bai Hu looked relieved and rubbed his head on her hand as if wanting Ming Yue to pet him. Ming Yue lifted her hand and caressed the tiger''s head softly. The truth was, Ming Yue still scared of this tiger a little. Well it was a TIGER for heaven sakes! a carnivore animal! anyone would be scared! But somehow Ming Yue had a feeling that if she said that she was scared of him, this tiger called Bai Hu would be heartbroken. Ming Yue didn''t know why she had such feeling, but she was certain of it. "Okay, this Tianshang De Kongjian.. why can I enter this ce and more over, why are you calling me ''Master''?" Ming Yue asked, wanting more exnation about the ce she was in right at this moment. Silence fell, all creatures seemed to make eyes with each other which made Ming Yue slightly suspicious. However, Zhu Que was the one answering her question. "Well you can enter this ce because you are the chosen one and that is why we call you Master. It''s been thousand years since the There was a sense of gloom inside the heavenly beasts'' heart. Their Master didn''t recognize them, she didn''t have any memory of them. They couldn''t tell her the truth either, about the fact that she was the one who made this heavenly space, hence that was the reason she could enter it. "Thousand years?! THAT long?!" Ming Yue looked surprised. Thinking that these.. creatures.. waited for their owner toe for thousand years, somehow made her heart ached. She pitied them because she knew how painful it was to wait for something that would nevere. Hope.. was the only one that could support their heart. "Do I need to be unconscious to enter this ce?" Ming Yue asked, remembering that she might be fainted when darkness imed her mind. "No, Master. You can enter anytime through your mind, physically or just your soul." Zhu Que answered. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. "Physically? You mean.." "Yes, Physically means that you can enter this heavenly space with your body and by that, of course your body in mortal realm can nowhere to be found." Zhu Que continued, "It''s convenient if you want to escape from dangerous situation." "However time was faster in this world, one day in mortal realm equals five days in this space." Bai Hu added, "Perfect for master to cultivate." "Cultivate? you mean farming?" Ming Yue asked, clearly confused. "No no no, what I meant is to cultivate your power." Bai Hu exined, "Can''t you feel aura inside your body? try closing your eyes and feel it." Ming Yue did what Bai Hu told her to do. She closed her eyes, focusing herself to feel something. At first she didn''t understand what to feel but soon she felt warm heat from inside her body. She opened her eyes in astonishment. "I feel it!" Ming Yue said and Bai Hu grinned at her, "That''s your power, Master. For now it''s still in the early stage of mortal realm but once you cultivate, you can be more powerful." "Let''s leave it forter, Bai Hu. We need to guide Master to see the heavenly space, but first pardon me for not introducing myself. My name is Zhu Que, the heavenly beast of the south. Pleasure to meet you, Master." Zhu Quended next to Bai Hu who was still enjoying Ming Yue''s hand caressing his head. Qing Long stared at Bai Hu in resentment, clearly disgusted by his behavior and jealous of how he got to be caressed by Ming Yue. "My name is Qing Long, the heavenly beast of the east. Pleasure to meet you as well, Master." Qing Long who was floating on the air the entire time,nded on the opposite side of Bai Hu, bowing slightly at Ming Yue. Thest one was Xuan Wu, he walked toward Ming Yue and both turtle head and snake head bowed slightly at her, "Our name is Xuan Wu, heavenly beast of the north. Please treat us well, Master." "Us? both of you are Xuan Wu?" Ming Yue asked and both turtle and snake chuckled softly, "We are two bodies and one soul. Separated but connected." "I see, well then pleasure to meet all of you." Ming Yue said with a warm smile. "Now let''s begin our adventure in Tianshang De Kongjian!" Bai Hu roared in happiness. "Humph! Childish, this is why you are ame cat." Qing Long snorted in disgust. "What was that?! Say it again if you dare, I will rip you pieces!" Bai Hu roared viciously while ring at Qing Long. "LA.ME.CAT." Qing Long repeated while ring back at Bai Hu. "You Bastard! DIE-- GAH!! MY TAIL!!" Just as Bai Hu wanted to attack Qing Long, Zhu Que used her me and set it on his tail. Bai Hu was jumping around then rolled on the ground as he was screaming in pain. Then he stood and red at Zhu Que. "What was that for?!" "To help you calm yourself down." Zhu Que answered in calm manner. "Don''t you have better ways to do it?!" Bai Hu growled, clearly felt that he was wronged. "I have but you will turn into charcoal, is that fine with you?" Asked Zhu Que with a sharp glint shed in her phoenix eyes. Bai Hu stiffened and looked away, "Uh.. no, this way is fine with me." Xuan Wu : "Masochist." Qing Long : "Disgusting." "Shut Up!" Bai Hu retorted, clearly he was annoyed by their remarks. Ming Yue who stood there watching, sighed and shook her head while chuckling softly. She had a feeling that she would see this kind of scene a lot from now on. Planning The Next Move! nning The Next Move! (A/N : Thank you for reading this story. Please support the Author if you like this story by giving rate, likes andments! ( ¡ì ...)/) Ming Yue had a short tour around Tianshang De Kongjian and from that very short tour Ming Yue could grasp an understanding about the ce in a very simple manner. A PRIVATE RESORT! Ming Yue knew from TV about rich people like millionaires and billionaires had their own inds and turned it into private resort, this Tianshang De Kongjian was exactly like that. The pce in Tianshang De Kongjian was just like those in ancient drama she had watched during her college days. It was huge and wide, Ming Yue didn''t even know how wide it was but as for the height, it has four floors. The heavenly beasts called it ''The Moon Pce''. Moon Pce surrounded by quite amazing sceneries. Flower garden and river at front, a middle sized pavilion in the middle of a wideke at the left side of the pce, farming fields and green houses at the right side and training ground at the back. Not only that, this heavenly space had green and snowy mountains surrounded it. It was truly magical and fantastical! Like Zhu Que said, it REALLY had everything she needed. More over, Zhu Que said if shecked something in heavenly space, she could brought it from mortal realm and it would work just fine. This because the one thing that Tianshang De Kongjiancked was electronics such asputers, Television, fridge, rice cookers, etc. Something that modern people used for convenience. In this space, she could have a ce to live which didn''t need any money. At least for now, Ming Yue knew she needed a ce to live in mortal realm for ''record'' purpose only. She rather chose to live permanently in Moon Pce. Strangely, she didn''t know why but Moon Pce was morefortable to her. It as if she had found the ce where she truly belonged. "Now that you have seen most of the Tianshang De Kongjian, what are you nning to do, Master?" Xuan Wu looked at Ming Yue who sat near the river, enjoying the streaming water running through her fingers. "I will live in this space of course but I still need a ce to live in mortal realm. It''s for record purpose, if I move out of the Qing house, people will wonder where I live, right?" Ming Yue yed with water, making a few sshes. "I see, so that''s why you said for ''record'' purpose." Xuan Wu nodded, understood what Ming Yue meant. "The major problem is money. I need to find a way to make more money. The money I have from working at Uncle Chu''s restaurant is not much. It can only cover my school tuition and some of my daily needs." Ming Yue pondered, thinking of a good way to make money. "Master, I have a good idea! Why don''t you sell some treasures in the warehouse?" Bai Hu suggested, he was sitting next to Ming Yue. Among the four heavenly beast, Bai Hu was the only one who always stay glued to Ming Yue. It made Qing Long red at him from time to time. Ming Yue shook her head in disapproval "I can''t for now. Everyone in D city knew that I am an adopted girl, they will wonder where I get so much treasures. Bad rumors will spread." "Then how about selling something from the farm or green house?" offered Zhu Que, "There are many precious herbs and ginsengs, I am sure it''s worth some money." "Hmm herbs and ginsengs.. yes! that can work, I just can say I found it in the mountain!" Ming Yue agreed, her expression showed how excited she was because the major problem she had had been solved. Standing up, Ming Yue looked at her watch. "I better go now, It''s been three hours here so basically I fainted for more than 30 minutes." "Master, can I go with you to mortal world?" Bai asked for her permission. "Eh?! You mean ''Out'' is like physically?" Ming Yue asked in surprise, "But.. It might cause an uproar if huge white tiger appear, you know.." Not ''Might'' but Ming Yue was SURE of it. If Bai Hu appeared, it WILL create an uproar. Even worse, Bai Hu will be dragged to the zoo! "Don''t worry, Master. I have my own way ~" Bai Hu said with a smug. "Humph, I bet you will turn yourself to a cat." Qing Long snorted, clearly knew what Bai Hu was panning. "How did you know?! Are you a damn seer?!" Bai Hu growled, his tiger face showed gob-smack expression. It was kind of funny seeing such expression on a tiger''s face. "It''s not hard to figure out what a simpleton like you think." Qing Long said mockingly. "Who you said a simpleton?!" Bai Hu retorted with vicious growl. "It''s YOU. You need to get treatment for your ears, looks like you''re getting old." Qing Long said with a sneer. "That''s it! you''re dead!" Bai Hu was about tounch an attack on Qing Long but the sound of giggle and her best to hold herughter down. "Hahahaha..! I am sorry.. hahaha.. simpleton.. oh my god.. hahaha..!" "Master! You supposed to defend me not bully me!" Bai Hu retorted sulkily. Giggling, Ming Yue petted Bai Hu''s head. "I am sorry, but your reaction is just too funny." "Hmph! If Master give me a kiss, I will forgive you." Bai Hu said, still sulking. "What?! No Master! don''t do it! This furball is ying tricks on you!" This time Qing Long growled, clearly unwilling to have his master kiss Bai Hu. "It''s just a simple kiss, Qing Long." Ming Yue gave him a reassuring smile. Simple or not, a kiss was still a kiss! Qing Long wanted to retort more but it was toote. Ming Yue already nted a kiss on Bai Hu''s head. "Now then, I will go now. See youter." Ming Yue closed her eyes and soon her body disappeared from the space, leaving the four heavenly beast who showed different emotions regarding what she did just now. Qing Long was frozen, Xuan Wu was snickering, Zhu Que was sighing in resignation while Bai Hu grinning from ear to ear, clearly pleased with himself. Seeing such Bai Hu, Qing Long''s eyes shed a sharp glint before torrent of water fell down on Bai Hu''s head. "Gaaah! What the--!! You stinky lizard, aren''t you being childish right now?!" Bai Hu growled in annoyance. "Hmph!" Qing Long didn''t even utter a single retort. He just flew away. Seeing such Qing Long, Bai Hu grinned once again. This time he managed to make that stinky lizard jealous! Hehe~Content ? N?velDrama.Org. It was such an amazing feeling~ Never Bow Down Ever Again! Never Bow Down Ever Again!

( ¡ì ...)/) The moment Ming Yue opened her eyes, what greeted her was the ceiling of the health room. She blinked for a few times before moving her body to sit on the bed. Somehow her head felt clear, like the headache that attacked her was just a delusion. "Oh, you woke up? How are you feeling?" A female wearing doctor''s robe walked closer and checked her temperature. Ming Yue recognized the woman, she was Doctor Yan. "I am feeling better, Doctor Yan." Ming Yue answered, letting her do her job and get this thing over with as soon as possible. "Are you okay to continue to study? If you want to rest at home, I can get you a note for sick leave." Doctor Yan offered after seeing her pale face. She admitted that this girl before her was quite a beauty, even she as a woman was entranced by the girl''s beauty. Yet it was a pity, the girl only had a cold expression on her face. "I am okay to study, thank you for your care, Doctor Yan." With that, Ming Yue got off from the bed and walked out of health room. Ming Yue returned to the ssroom just in time when the math lesson ended. Mo Liu stared at Ming Yue when she entered the ss. "Are you feeling alright now?" He asked while carefully scanned her expression. Having the handsome and strict teacher like Mo Liu to care for her made some of the girls in that ssroom jealous. They red at Ming Yue with resentment. After all, Mo Liu was considered a popr teacher among the female students. However since he always acted strict towards all students, no one made a bold move toe closer to him. "Yes, sir. Thank you for your help." Ming Yue said gratefully. She assumed that it was Mo Liu who brought her to the health room. "It''s part of my job. If you don''t feel good, never hesitate to tell the teachers." warned Mo Liu before he left the ssroom. As soon as Mo Liu was gone, a girl spoke loud enough for the whole ssroom to hear. "Ah ah look who is seducing a teacher. A bitch will always be a bitch, huh?" That girl was the one who sat next to Qing Xu Lin, her name was Xiao Yin. Ming Yue''s eyes narrowed and became colder the moment she heard the words. She walked towards Xiao Yin''s desk and when she reached there, Ming Yue lifted her hand to p her hard. "PAH!" It was quite a loud and seeing Ming Yue''s behavior, everyone was shocked. That was because the Ming Yue they knew before wouldn''t do something as daring as pping someone. But what they didn''t know was the Ming Yue they knew before was no longer existed. The current Ming Yue would never bow down to anyone ever again. Xiao Yin''s cheek was red and numb due to the pping. She stared at Ming Yue in disbelief. "You.." "Ming Yue, how can you be so rude? How could you hit Xiao Yin, you need to apologize." Qing Xu Lin reprimanded her in gentle manner. "Oh?" Ming Yue snorted coldly, "Me pping her is considered rude? then what about her? Saying something ''seducing teacher'' isn''t that rude as well?" Ming Yue asked in return. "But she didn''t hit you." Xu Lin argued, "If she didn''t hit you--" "Then should I humiliate her by spreading rumors as well? Something like ''Xiao Yin wants attention of teacher Mo but she can''t get any''?" Ming Yue sneered, stared at Xiao Yin in mockery "You..!" Xiao Lin shouted out, "You Bitch!! how dare you!!" Xiao Yin raised her hand to p Ming Yue but Ming Yue who had expected such move from Xiao Yin managed to grab her wrist in time. It caught everyone surprised and that included Xu Lin who was close by. "Never call me a bitch again. If you dare to call me that, I will not hesitate to do something more than pping." Ming Yue increased the strength of her hand on Xiao Yin''s wrist. "This also applies to ALL of you. If you don''t like me then stay away because I will NEVER bow down and endure all the rude things you all throw at me ever again. If you all dare trying to then.." Ming Yue gave them all cold murderous look, it made everyone who saw it had their heart frozen. They seemed couldn''t even breath under such gaze. "I WILL retaliate.. better remember that." Ming Yue warned then let Xiao Yin''s wrist go. She returned to her seat, leaving Xiao Yin trembled in fear on her spot. In that moment, everyone in ss had their opinion of Ming Yue changed. Before they thought of her as a gloomy and depressing person who was easy to bully. They couldn''t believe that the Ming Yue would be someone who could release such murderous look. Xu Lin curled her fingers into a fist before releasing it. She turned her gaze at Ming Yue and gave her sweetest and kindest smile. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . "Still you need to apologize for hitting, Xiao Yin. You shouldn''t hit her." Xu Lin reminded Ming Yue. Ming Yue gazed at Xu Lin coldly, "I will apologize if she apologize." "You.." Xu Lin couldn''t believe her ears, Xiao Yin gritted her teeth and red at Ming Yue. "Never!" She shouted in rage, Ming Yue snorted and giving a mocking look at Xu Lin. "So there you go." she said and it made Xu Lin wanted to vomit blood. However before she could retort, an old teacher came another lesson started. Xiao Yin who was sitting while clenching her fists tight made a vow that she would never forgive Ming Yue. Ming Yue dared to p her and she would make her pay for that! ''Ming Yue, you bitch! I will definitely make you pay for pping me! Just you wait!'' Xiao Yin thought. Heavenly Beasts Transformation! Heavenly Beasts'' Transformation! (A/N : Thank you for reading this story.

( ¡ì ...)/) Finally the school ended, with so much hassle due to ghosts and ring people which mostly came from Xu Lin and Xiao Yin, Ming Yue had to spend her time in school carefully. Ming Yue went out of school right away, ignoring the ssmates who kept throwing her curious look at her. Her n today was making money. The sooner the better, so Ming Yue walked toward the mountain. It was quite far from her school but she was used to walk around so it didn''t really tire her that much. Fortunately today was her off day working at Uncle Chu''s restaurant. Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Along the way, she met some people, asking her where she was going. "The mountain? Little girl, going alone to the mountain is dangerous." warned an old man who looked like in his fifties. "It''s fine, I just want to find wild herbs to sell. I won''t go too deep." Ming Yue said, try to reassure the old man. "Should grandpa apany you? If something happens to a beautiful girl like you, it will haunt grandpa forever." The old man offered, worry could be seen clearly on his face. For Ming Yue who had her heart frozen, having someone worry about her like this despite they were strangers, warmed her heart just a little bit. Even though she had cold personality now unlike her past self, Ming Yue would not be so cold to brush away people who were kind to her. As for people who became her enemy, she would retaliate coldly and mercilessly. For some reason Ming Yue was quite scared of herself. She was a person who used to believe in the good things of people but now, it as if she was a different person. It was as if her own soul was liberated. She felt free, unshackled and saw things in different perspective. Maybe it was due to her case being a reincarnated person, when the heavenly beasts mentioned about ''Mortal Realm'', deep down Ming Yue had an epiphany that she was different now. She wasn''t a mortal anymore. But if she wasn''t a mortal then what was she? While contemting in these thoughts, Ming Yue''s lips curled into a soft smile. It was just a soft smile but to the people who saw it, it was a divine smile. It was like a smile of a goddess, elegant and captivating. "Thank you for your kind offer, Grandpa but I will be okay. Don''t worry." If something happened, she could go to Tianshang De Kongjian after all, so she wasn''t all that worried. Seeing that Ming Yue insisted on going alone, the old man reluctantly let her go. Still he kept staring at her back until she entered the mountain path, worry could be seen on his face. As soon as Ming Yue entered the mountain path, she looked around for while before closing her eyes and soon her body disappeared. The moment Ming Yue opened her eyes, she was in Tianshang De Kongjian and was greeted by the four heavenly beast. "Master! I missed you!" Bai Hu leapt toward her, almost tackling Ming Yue to the ground. "Be careful youme cat! Are you trying to hurt Master?!" Qing Long used his tail to coil around Ming Yue''s body, protecting her from the overexcited Bai Hu. Realizing that he almost injured his master, Bai Hu didn''t retort Qing Long this time. Instead he gazed apologetically at Ming Yue. "I am sorry Master, I was just too happy to see you." Bai Hu said in dejected tone. "It''s okay. Just be careful next time, okay?" She lifted her hand to pet Bai Hu''s head then turned her gaze to Qing Long and smiled gratefully. "Thank you for guarding me, Qing Long." Seeing Ming Yue''s smile, Qing Long was flustered and he coughed slightly to cover it. "It''s my duty and honor to serve you, Master." he said coolly. Zhu Que flew closer, "Have youe to look at the farms and green houses, Master?" "Yes, I am thinking of taking some of the herbs and ginsengs. I want to sell it right away to make money." Ming Yue said. "Then I shall help you." Xuan Wu said, his turtle body started to glow and soon he transformed to a person. Ming Yue gaped at the person in front of her. He was wearing yellow colored ancient clothes, long ck hair with yellow highlights and he had a pair of emerald eyes! "You are.. Xuan Wu..?" Ming Yue asked in surprise, gazing the handsome man in front of her, "You can turn into human?" Seeing the surprise expression on his Master''s face, Xuan Wu gave her an evil smirk "Hehe~ Are you surprised, Master~?" He asked in yful tone. "In fact, All of us can transform into human shape but we forgot to tell you that~ So.. Surpriseee~!" Xuan Wu added, spreading his arms wide yfully. "Humph, you spoiled it." Qing Long''s body glowed and his human shape revealed. Just like Xuan Wu, Qing Long also wore ancient clothes but his clothes was blue instead. He also had long ck hair with blue highlights and a pair of yellow eyes. "Well it''s inconvenient to help master using a beast body, isn''t it?" Xuan Wu shrugged shamelessly. "I think you just want to have fun instead of helping Master." Zhu Que said as her body glowed and transformed into human shape. She wore a red female ancient dress. She had long ck hair with red highlights and a pair of brown eyes. She looked beautiful! "As for me, I don''t care as long as I am with Master~" Bai Hu grinned as his body glowed and Transformed. He wore white colored ancient clothes. He had long ck hair with silver highlights and a pair of blue sky eyes. Ming Yue just stood there as she was rendered speechless due to seeing their transformations. The world she used to know now shattered into pieces, reced by this newfound world of fantasy. She was truly in that kind of world now. More over, her heavenly beasts were so handsome and beautiful! They could easily be top models if they entered entertainment circle. "Master?" Bai Hu bent his body and waved his hand a few times right in front of her face. "Hello? Master? Are you alive?" *Smack!* Qing Long smacked the back of Bai Hu''s head "Don''t be rude to Master." "Ow! That hurts you stinky lizard! Also I am not being rude, I was just asking since mydy isn''t responding!" Bai Hu said in annoyance while rubbing the back of his head. Ming Yue finally snapped out her daze when she heard smacking sound. Seeing Bai Hu and Qing Long bickered like usual, she finally let out a giggle. "Sorry, I was just in daze. All of you are so handsome and beautiful, it caught me off guard." The four beasts stared at her for a while before coughing a few times. Hearing their Master "Now let''s get those herbs and ginsengs, Master~" Xuan Wu smiled warmly and walked with Ming Yue by his side while the others followed them from behind. Raking Money From Fox Demoness Raking Money From Fox Demoness With Xuan Wu and Ming Yue at the front, Bai Hu wanted to go by Ming Yue''s side but he was blocked by Qing Long. It was quite rowdy and Ming Yue could only shook her head in resignation. It turned out, Xuan Wu was a master in medicines and acupuncture. He knew about all the herbs and while he was helping Ming Yue, he gave exnation about each herbs. "Is there something wrong, Master?" Xuan Wu asked as he caught her in a daze, as if her mind was preupied with something. "Ah, no.. Nothing is wrong. I just feel weird." Ming Yue answered, still frowning. "What do you feel weird about?" Xuan Wu asked, gazing seriously at Ming Yue. The rest of three also paid attention seriously at Ming Yue, making her feel embarrassed. It was the first time she was cared so seriously, as if she was a precious treasure. "It''s just.." Ming Yue hesitated before continuing, "I feel like my mind is clear now, I can remember everything by just hearing or seeing once. Isn''t that weird?" Silence fell but soon reced byughter. Ming Yue stared at them with a puzzle, clearly didn''t understand why they suddenlyughed. "My Lady, you don''t have to be so puzzled." Bai Hu grinned. "Yes, it''s because you are not a mere mortal anymore." Zhu Que added, "You are a cultivator now. You have aura and a pure one at that." Xuan Wu bent his body slightly and leaned his face forward to Ming Yue. A soft smile, filled with adoration was on his face. "So you see My Lady, you are a special one. Never thinks that you are lower than anyone. Those mortals should worship you instead." He said in soft tone, tapping the tip of Ming Yue''s nose lightly with his slender finger. But soon Qing Long pulled Xuan Wu cor from the behind to make some distance between him and Ming Yue while saying, "Too Close." Xuan Wu chuckled and shook his head, "You.. really.." he said in resignation. Ming Yue smiled warmly and replied, "Thank You. Though it''s exaggerating to say that they should worship me." Ming Yue chuckled softly. The four beasts let out smiles filled with irony. They knew Ming Yue could say something like because she didn''t know the truth about her true identity. She didn''t remember anything about them so she didn''t know what caused her to be in mortal realm in the first ce. Ming Yue gathered some of the herbs and Xuan Wu chose two ginsengs for Ming Yue to sell. One was a one hundred years ginseng while the other one was a thousand years ginseng. "Master, I shalle with you." Bai Hu said and transformed himself into a cat. At first Ming Yue was curious about what kind of cat type Bai Hu would turn himself into. However when she saw Bai Hu turned himself into a cute silver bengal cat, her lips parted slightly and walked closer to scoop Bai Hu into her embrace. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. "Oh my god, You are so cute!" Ming Yue said nuzzling her nose to Bai Hu''s fur. "Hehe~ I knew Master will like it~" He said smugly and it made Qing Long gnashed his teeth, feeling irritated. Bai Hu grinned in satisfaction seeing the irritated Qing Long. Together, they bid everyone goodbye and left the heavenly ce. What greeted Ming Yue the moment she opened her eyes was the mountain path. Still in Ming Yue''s arms, Bai Hu scanned around the area. "The air here is quite dirty, unlike in Tianshang De Kongjian." He said in disgust. "True, the air in Tianshang De Kongjian is better." Ming Yue said while walking down the mountain path. Soon they exited the mountain and headed toward the herb store. She stopped in front of the store and read the signboard. It was written ''Nine Tails Herb Store''. "The sign name is quite unique." Ming Yuemented but Bai Hu narrowed his cat eyes and gazed upon the store coldly. Ming Yue didn''t notice Bai Hu''s expression had turned from good to bad, she entered the store nonchntly. The moment she entered, what greeted her was a woman in her mid forties. She was smoking from a pipe and the moment she gazed at Ming Yue and Bai Hu, her body stiffened slightly. Her eyes became wary and nervous. "What do you want, young girl?" The woman asked in stiff tone. Oblivious to the woman''s behavior, Ming Yue walked closer with Bai Hu in her arms. "Excuse me, are you the owner of this store?" she asked politely. "Yes, and?" The woman probed her to continue, "I have herbs and ginsengs that I gathered from the mountain nearby and I want to sell it. Can you please take a look and determine the price?" Ming Yue put Bai Hu on the floor and opened her bag, taking out the herbs and ginsengs as she put it on the counter. The woman looked at the herbs and ginsengs and her jaw ckened. She couldn''t believe what she have seen in front of her. The herbs that the young girl brought were all rare and precious! More over it was fresh and in its top condition! Yet, her jaw dropped even more when she saw the ginsengs! her eyes could tell that they were one hundred and thousand years old ginseng! These are treasures!! "I will buy it all! For the collection of herbs, I will pay 1 Million. This ginseng is one hundred years old ginseng, I will pay 5 millions and thest one is thousand years old ginseng, I will pay 10 millions. How about it?" The woman offered excitedly. Bai Hu jumped to the counter and speak to Ming Yue. "Make it 15 millions for one thousand years old ginseng, Master." The woman stiffened, she forgot about Bai Hu''s existence for a while now. Ming Yue didn''t know that the woman could hear Bai Hu''s words so she nervously spoke what Bai Hu said to her, "Um.. since it''s one thousand years old ginseng, uh.. how about 15 millions madam?" ''Ai Bai Hu! isn''t 15 millions too much?!'' Ming Yueined in her mind. ''Not at all, this woman is trying to cheat on you.'' Bai Hu replied, his tone was somewhat cold. Ming Yue frowned in confusion and made a mental note to ask what made him so ufortable as soon as they left the store. The woman nodded vigorously as if her life was depended on it. "Yes! Deal!" She said in a hurry. "Do you have a bank ount?" asked the woman. Ming Yue shook her head with a sheepish smile and the woman smiled reassuringly, "Then let''s open an ount. I will apany you, wait outside for a bit while I am getting ready." "I will stay here with the woman, Master." Bai Hu said and Ming Yue nodded. She recalled Bai Hu said something that the woman was trying to cheat on her. Maybe he wanted to make sure the woman wouldn''t do anything funny to her. As soon as Ming Yue exited the store, Bai Hu''s eyes glowed in blueish color as he stared at the woman. "What are you doing in this town, Fox?" he asked while releasing his supreme aura. The woman kneeled in front of the counter where Bai Hu sat on, shivering in fear as she bowed deeply to the ground to greet Bai Hu. "Praise the heaven, this humble one greets the supreme lord of the west, Bai Hu." "lift your head and answer me, Fox!" Bai Hu ordered with a growl despite his body was a cat. The woman flinched in fear as she lifted her head and answered in a hurry, " This humble one moved to this city 20 years ago, My Lord and doesn''t have any intentions but to sell herbs and cultivate in peace." Bai Hu stared at the woman for a while before giving his warning. "I trust you for now, but if you have any ill intentions towards my master, I will rip you to pieces!" The woman trembled in fear. Who wouldn''t? Lord Bai Hu governed over some animals with fangs and a supreme ruler of the west heavenly pce. Technically speaking, he was one of the guardian beast of heaven. "Yes, My lord! This humble one will take the warning to the heart and remember it always!" The woman sincerely vowed before asking a question, "B-But My Lord.. the young girl just now, is she--" "Silence! Never mention anything about her!" Bai Hu growled, warning her. "Her existence is confidential. Whatever you think in your head, never let it out of your mouth, understand?" "Yes, My lord!" The woman replied vigorously before exited the store with Bai Hu on her shoulders. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- **Qing Long : *sulking* ( ?`¡ä ?)

Rumors Of Ming Yue Rumors Of Ming Yue Ming Yue saw the woman walked out of the store with Bai Hu on the woman''s shoulder, her eyes widened in surprised. "Bai Hu! What are you doing?!" Ming Yue reached for his body and took him into her embrace while apologizing to the woman. "I am sorry, My cat is rude to you." The woman waved her hands frantically, "It''s okay! I don''t mind! Really! It''s an honor in fact!" "An honor?" Ming Yue tilted her head, clearly puzzled. Bai Hu threw a sharp look at the woman. The woman stiffened and coughed, "I mean, An honorable customer''s cat. Hahaha.." The woman As they walked together, the woman introduced herself. "My name is Shao Fei, you can call me Auntie Fei. What is your name your girl?" "My name is Ming Yue and this is my cat Bai Hu. Pleasure to meet you Aunt Fei." Ming Yue said politely. "Mine as well. Ah, did your parents know about you going up to the mountain? It''s quite dangerous there after all." Shao Fei asked. Even though she knew that this girl Ming Yue definitely didn''t get those herbs and ginseng from the mountain, since she said she got them from there, Shao Fei decided to y along. Personally she was also curious about this young girl, having cultivated for more than three hundred years, she also heard stories and legends. Lord Bai Hu called this young girl his master, however the supreme lord of west heavenly pce wouldn''t take just anyone as his master. In one of the legends she had read, there used to be a special person who became the Master of four supreme lords of heavenly pce. Only that person could rule over the four heavenly beasts. That special person was the most beautiful among the goddesses in heaven, she was also the most Content ? N?velDrama.Org. favorite person of heavenly emperor. Her beauty was so enchanting that once people took a look, they would not be able to look away. The rumor of her beauty even spread to mortal realm and demon realm. Her name was.. "I am an orphan." Ming Yue''s words pulled Shao Fei out of her reverie. "Orphan? Ah! Are you the adopted daughter of Qing Family?" Shao Fei asked, "I have heard about you." "Oh? Is it a bad or a good one?" Ming Yue asked indifferently. Paying attention to Ming Yue''s indifferent expression, Shao Fei answered "I only heard about how you are abandoned and got picked up by Mrs. Qing." "Aaah.. I see. That one, huh?" Ming Yue said, clearly not surprised of what she heard. It was a fact after all. In the past, she tried hard to search for her mother but only to be hurt and rejected once again. This time, Ming Yue wouldn''t search for her because it was useless. "That.. I am sorry.." Shao Fei gave Ming Yue a nervous look. It was because Lord Bai Hu kept giving her a sharp look. ''I should have paid attention to what I said!!'' Shao Fei screamed inwardly, she really wanted to p her own mouth. "For what Auntie?" Ming Yue frowned in confusion. "Well.. that.. I-If.. I offended you." Shao Fei said with an awkward smile and cried inwardly, ''Please don''t make Lord Bai Hu rip me to pieces!'' Ming Yue chuckled softly and gave Shao Fei a reassuring smile, "It''s okay. I am not offended, it''s news that I used to hear many times after all." "Hahaha.. I- I see.." Shao Fei gave a nervous reply, ''Phew.. Safe..'' She added inwardly. They arrived at the bank and went to one of the counter to open a bank ount. After a series of exnation, Ming Yue paid the fee with the little money she had and Shao Fei transferred 21 millions into her ount right away. Ming Yue also applied for credit card right away since she needed it for buying things. She also draw some money just for her daily needs. "Thank you for your help, Auntie Fei." Ming Yue said gratefully. "No need, I was just apanying you after all. You did most of the part yourself." Shao Fei smiled, she really liked this girl. She was polite and knew how treat her elders right. More over she had this certain charm that made people either loved or hated her. ''Guess this could be expected since she was HER, huh? Ai.. looks like the world would soon turn into chaos once again..'' Shao Fei mused, because if Ming Yue was HER then based on a legend Shao Fei had heard, THAT MAN would be in mortal realm as well. Both of them were famous after all. "Well then Aunty Fei, I shall get going now." Ming Yue''s voice once again pulled Shao Fei out of her reverie. Shao Fei nodded, "If you have more herbs and ginseng, you can sell it to me." she said. "Of course, goodbye Auntie Fei." Ming Yue left after saying goodbye. Shao Fei stares at Ming Yue''s back, her eyes filled with worry. "The future of that girl will be very hard.." she muttered softly as she lifted her head to look at the sky. "Will there be another war?" Shao Fei asked in worry. She knew the war between gods and demons happened thousand years ago, which resulted HER to be in mortal realm. Shao Fei didn''t knew what was really happening back then, there were many stories regarding HER in demon realm. Some said SHE made a grave sin, some said SHE was betrayed and caught in a trap, some said SHE fell in love with THAT MAN and was punished for it. However, how could SHE fell in love? SHE was famous for having a frozen heart after all. ''Hmm.. looks like I need to investigate this matter thoroughly.'' Shao Fei mused. ''If there will be a war, then the fox n needs to prepare for it.'' After all.. Because of THAT MAN.. the demons had tasted a bitter defeat.. At least that was what she was told..

( ¡ì ...)/) Ming Yue returned to the Qing house when the sky was quite dark. She couldn''t make it in time to cook dinner but Ming Yue didn''t feel guilty. She would move out tomorrow after all. She didn''t want to stay in this house any longer. "Slut! where have you been?!" Sui Rong shouted in anger the moment Ming Yue entered the house. Both Qing Xu Lin and Qing Mu Jing were not too far behind her. "Mountain, gathering some herbs." Ming Yue replied coldly, "How dare you returnte and don''t cook dinner!" Sui Rong lifted her hand to p Ming Yue but Bai Hu made a hiss sound and Sui Rong''s feet suddenly slipped, making her fell down hard on the floor. "Ahh!" Sui Rong screamed in pain. Both Xu Lin and Mu Jing were dumbfounded. They didn''t know how Sui Rong could slip and fall to the floor. "Ming Yue! What did you do to mother?!" Mu Jing rushed toward Sui Rong and helped her stood on her feet. "I didn''t do anything. She just slipped on her own and fell to the floor." Ming Yue let out a nonchnt shrug then she smiled evilly, "Maybe it''s the ghosts in this house." Sui Rong, Mu Jing and Xu Lin had their jaw ckened the moment Ming Yue said ghosts. In the past, they hit her everytime she mentioned ghosts It happened often but after that Ming Yue never mentioned it again. Now hearing what Ming Yue said, they finally noticed that Ming Yue was rebelling. In the past she was docile but now she was fighting back. "Y-You..! Mu Jing, hit her! Right now!" Sui Rong ordered her son but Ming Yue''s evil smile grew wider. "Are you sure? The ghosts might attack him too, you know?" Sui Rong stiffened, she grabbed her son''s hand tightly for fear the ghosts would attack him. Bai Hu smirked, using his power to create gush of wind and made some things in the house shaking then fell to the floor. "Eeek!" Sui Rong and Xu Lin screamed in fear while Mu Jing stared at Ming Yue with a pale face. "Y-You cursed child! disaster child! leave the house now! NOW!!" Sui Rong screaming like a mad woman. Ming Yue just nonchntly went to her room, putting her things into her room in the space and returned to the living room. She stared at the three people who were still wearing fear expression on their faces. "Today I am cutting ties with this family. From now on, we will be strangers. Do note to me and disturb my life ever again, if you do.." Ming Yue gave them a murderous look and aura was leaking from her body, gave the three the feeling terror. "Don''t me me for being cruel." Ming Yue said, snorted at them in disgust and mockery before leaving the house with Bai Hu by her side. This time, it would be forever.. It took a while before Sui Rong managed to calm herself down. She remembered how Ming Yue acting high and mighty, staring at them in disgust and her blood boiled. "That slut! How dare she... how dare she..!!" Sui Rong shouted in anger. "Mother, don''t you think Ming Yue is changing now?" Xu Lin asked in dubious. "Yeah, it''s like she is a different person." Mu Jing. "I agree. Maybe she is possessed by evil spirit!" Xu Lin said. She couldn''t stand the change in Ming Yue. In her view, Ming Yue should be beneath her feet and worshipped her. Ming Yue only fit to be her ''servant''. Sui Rong fell silence, contemting on what Xu Lin said. "You might be right, Xu Lin ah. I will go to the temple to have a monke to school tomorrow. As soon as the evil spirit is gone, we will drag that slut back to be our servant again." ___________________________________________ Ming Yue decided to go to the hotel to stay for the night. While walking Bai Hu let out aughter, clearly happy recalling the incident before. "As expected of Master, even when you are being cold and cruel, I can''t help be mesmerized once again." He said with a grin Ming Yue shook her head with a soft smile, "I meant what I said though." "Of course I know Master. Those mortals have the nerve to make your life a living hell then this mighty Bai Hu shall make them pay for it." Bai Hu said with a cold snort. He recalled the past when his Master had a hard life because of those mortals. It took all of him not Content ? N?velDrama.Org. rage in madness, because at that time Bai Hu and the other beasts were still sealed inside Tianshang De Kongjian. For the first time in his eternal life, Bai Hu felt helpless, despair, useless. He couldn''t do anything to help his Master. Those feelings, Bai Hu would never want to feel it again. This time for sure, Bai Hu would protect hisdy within his embrace. Bai Hu was sure that other beasts felt the same way as he did. They would pamper and dote on her all the time. Just like in the past. Before theirdy met THAT MAN. "Little girl?" A voice could be heard. Ming Yue turned her head only to see the old man she met on the way to the mountain. He was in the backseat of a very expensive looking car. "What are you doing roaming around the street at this time. It''s very dangerous for a girl like you." "Oh, I am just heading to the nearby hotel." Ming Yue said. The old man frowned, "Hotel? You''re not going home instead?" He didn''t think that the little girl would do improper thing just by the word ''Hotel''. The old man had eyes for characters and he believed the little girl was a proper one. "I am an orphan, just cutting ties with my adopted family and left their house." Ming Yue exined briefly. "Well then, grandpa. I will excuse myself." As Ming Yue wanted to walked ahead, the old man called out to her. "Wait!" "Yes?" Ming Yue stared at the old man in confusion. What this old man wanted from her? "You cane to my house. Rather than living in a hotel, others will have bad impression on you." The old man said. ''If I go with you, others will have bad impression as well you know.'' Ming Yue retorted in her mind. Now Ming Yue was in dilemma. Both paths would lead to bad rumors. She also didn''t know this old man since he was a mere stranger, someone she just met on the way. However, having a ''witness'' might be better than having none. If she went to the hotel, she didn''t have a reliable witness to prove that she was innocent. If she went this old man, judging that he was worthy of her trust, she would have a reliable witness. Well if this old man turned out to be different, all she needed to do was to have Bai Hu helped her. After contemting for a while, Ming Yue gave her answer. "Okay. I wille with you, Grandpa. Thank you for your kindness before hand." Ming Yue entered the car with Bai Hu as the car drove away. Meanwhile there was a shadow staring at the leaving car with an evil smile full of schemes. ------- Bai Hu : *Humming happily* Ming Yue : You look happy, Bai Hu.

Please support the Author if you like this story by giving rate, likes andments! ( ¡ì ...)/) Ming Yue had dinner with Wu family after the incident. Bai Hu already turned to cat and enjoyed the food that was given to him. Wu Shi Jian asked about Ming Yue''s school, unlike Ming Yue who went to No.3 High School in D City. Lin Shao and Lin Zhao went to No.1 School. Fan Mei asked about Ming Yue''s daily life, however Ming Yue only said that she paid her own school tuition by working in Uncle Chu''s restaurant. That information alone enough for Fan Mei to know that Ming Yue wasn''t treated right by Qing Family so she didn''t probe any further. Ming Yue was led to the guest room after dinner. The Wu couple thought that Ming Yue might be tired so they let her retired early. Ming Yue was sitting on the bed while scanning the expensive design in that room and not long after, a knock could be heard. "You may enter." Ming Yue answered and the door was opened from the other side. Two heads popped out, it was Lin Shao and Lin Zhao. "Is there something?" Ming Yue asked, tilted her head with a nk face. Lin Shao and Lin Zhao entered the room with sheepish smile on their faces. "Well.. we want to talk to you more, Sister Yue." Lin Shao said while scratching the back of his head. "And we want to y with Bai Hu more." Lin Zhao added. "Well then, have a sit." Ming Yue said and the twins sat on the carpet while ying with Bai Hu. Lin Shao and Lin Zhao had be Bai Hu''s new fans. Ming Yue chuckled and shook her head seeing how they argued over putting Bai Hu on theirp. Because they were too noisy, it annoyed Bai Hu, so he made a rule to let him sat on theirp in turn. "Heh~ If that stinky lizard see how these kids fawn over me, he will be so jealous~" Bai Hu spoke while enjoying being caressed by Lin Zhao. "Stinky Lizard?" Lin Shao tilted his head, looking puzzled. Ming Yue curled her lips in silence before answering, "Actually I have four guardian spirits. Not only Bai Hu." "Eh?!" Lin Zhao and Lin Shao shouted in synchronize. Content ? N?velDrama.Org. ''As expected of twins, they synchronize well.'' Ming Yue mused "Where are they? What animal?" Lin Shao asked excitedly. "Hmm.. well they are in different space." Ming Yue answered and turned her gaze to Bai Hu, "Bai Hu.. Can I take them to THAT PLACE?" "You are the owner of THAT PLACE, Master. You can take anyone you want to take there. There is no rule in THAT PLACE that forbids outsiders toe." Bai Hu exined, ''Or rather.. You are THEw since Tianshang De Kongjian is made by you.'' Bai Hu mused inside. "That ce? what is that ce you speak of? The different space?" Lin Shao couldn''t contain his excitement. "Different space.. so such ce also exists?" Lin Zhao murmured in astonishment. "Why don''t you find out by yourself?" Ming Yue lifted her hand and offered it the twins. "Touch my hand." The twins looked at each other before nodded and touched Ming Yue''s hand. They didn''t close their eyes but the scenery changed in a blink of an eye. Their eyes widened in surprise seeing the scenery surrounding them. It couldn''t be described by words. "No way.." Lin Shao muttered softly in disbelief as he scanned around his surrounding. "Is this a dream?" Lin Zhao asked as she pinched her own cheeks and winced slightly in pain. "It''s not a dream.. we really are in different space." "Wee to My ce, Tianshang De Kongjian." Ming Yue said with a warm smile that was rarely on her face. "Master, wee back." Three beasts headed toward her. Lin Shao eyes looked as if it was going to popped out of its sockets as he saw Qing Long, Zhu Que and Xuan Wu headed to where they were. Lin Zhao stiffened and moved closer to Ming Yue, hugging her arm. It was natural for her to have that kind of reaction since what she saw was the things she normally saw on TV. "A dragon.. phoenix.. ck turtle.." Lin Shao muttered while in a daze before he shouted like a mad man "THIS IS TOO AWESOME!!!" "Master.. these two are.." Zhu Que stared at the twins. "They are my guests." Ming Yue said shortly, "Please be kind to them." "Of course, Master." Zhu Que answered curtly. "Dear guests, wee to Tianshang De Kongjian. My name is Zhu Que, the dragon is Qing Long and the turtle is Xuan Wu. Pleasure to meet both of you." Zhu Que greeted Lin Shao and Lin Zhao. "My name is Lin Shao and this is my twin sister, Lin Zhao. Pleasure to meet you as well." Lin Shao grinned happily. "Come, I will take you both to my pce." Ming Yue started walking and the twins followed next to her. Along the way, Ming Yue exined about Tianshang De Kongjian was like her private resort. The twins were both excited learning about heavenly space and how beautiful it was. As if it came straight out of story book or fantasy movies. "Sister Yue, your ce is very beautiful." Lin Zhao sighed in delight as she stood at the balcony of Ming Yue''s room which on the top floor of Moon Pce. Her eyes stared at the scenery in front of her. "Tell me about it! I am truly d to know you, Sister Yue!" Lin Shao said, "I can have such once in a life time experience. I, Wu Lin Shao truly admire and respect you from the bottom of my heart, Sister Yue." Ming Yue chuckled softly, "What did you mean by saying once in a life time experience, you don''t want toe here anymore?" Ming Yue asked yfully. Lin Zhao and Lin Shao stared at each other excitedly before turning their gazes at Ming Yue. "You mean, we cane again?" they asked at the same time. "Of course you can. We can bring Grandpa Wu, Uncle Jian and Aunty Meiter. Keep this ce a secret for a while, we can surprise themter." Ming Yue said with a yful wink. "Yaaaay! Thank you Sister Yue!" Lin Zhao rushed and hugged her tightly, clearly happy that she could visit the heavenly space again. "Oh yeah! this is sooo cool!! I want to see Grandfather''s face when he sees this ce!" Lin Shao said in excitement. Ming Yueughed softly seeing how excited the twins were. At this time the Wu family didn''t know that by meeting Ming Yue and gained ess to Tianshang De Kongjian, they would be one of the most powerful and influential family under protection of the heaven in the far future. Silver Moon And Yueliang Hua Silver Moon And Yueliang Hua The twins spent hours inside Tianshang De Kongjian. They really liked ying with the four beasts. Unlike the other three beasts, Qing Long was quite difficult to get along with but in a short time, he warmed up to Lin Shao and Lin Zhao. When the four beasts turned to their human form, the excitement that the twins had reached it''s peak. They took out their smartphone and made a group selfie a few times. The four beasts, on the other hand, didn''t know a thing about modern world. They became noisy when they see their own pictures on the smartphone, saying something like part of their soul was sucked into it hence the reason they could see their figures inside the smartphone. They finally calmed down when Ming Yue exined it to them that it was simr to drawing painting in ancient time. The only difference was the tools. Finally the four beasts asked Ming Yue to buy it for them which reminded her that she also needed one. The twins also promised to teach the four beasts on how to use their smartphone once they got er. "Wow! we''re back in your room, Sister Yue!" Lin Shao eximed when they have returned from Tianshang De Kongjian. "Yes, the ce where we at before going to Heavenly Space, is the ce where we will return after going back from it." Exined Ming Yue. "And the time flow is really different, huh?" Lin Zhao looked at the clock on the table. "We spent so many hours but it only one hour and half in this world." "I can imagine how much fun we will have when we spend the entire day in Heavenly Space." Lin Shao grinned with excitement. "Now now, you can spend more timeter. You both need to return to your room, otherwise Uncle Jian and Aunty Mei will search for you." Ming Yue warned them with a smile. "Okay! See you tomorrow, Sister Yue!" Lin Shao bid Ming Yue farewell while Lin Zhao waved hands with a smile on her face. Both of them left the guest room. Ming Yue locked the door before sitting on the bed. Bai Hu jumped to the bed and sat next to her. "Quite the noisy mortals they are." Hemented. Ming Yue chuckled, "Indeed they are." "Master, why did you bring them to Tianshang De Kongjian?" asked Bai Hu. Ming Yue pursed her lips, "I don''t know myself but, I kinda like them. I am sensitive to negative emotion others have to me. Even if they don''t say anything rude, they can''t conceal it either." "Those twins, when they saw me the first time, they don''t have Judgement in their eyes. Even when they knew rumors about me being abandoned and cursed child, they don''t have any sinister feelings." Ming Yue chuckled softly, "They''re probably one of those rare humans with pure hearts. Grandpa Wu have wonderful family, it''s a blessing from heaven." "That''s right, even though they are noisy but they are not bad as mortals." Bai Hu agreed, his cat eyes softened. "Let''s go back home." Ming Yue stood up and the scenery changed. She was in front of the Moon Pce and the three beasts weed her in human form. "Wee home, Master." Zhu Que greeted her. "Do you want to retire early?" "No. Zhu Que, I want to train martial art and art of sword. I can''t depend on you all forever, there might be times when I have to defend myself. Bai Hu can''t use his power freely in public." Ming Yue said, The three beasts chuckled hearing Ming Yue''s words. Ming Yue threw puzzled look at them. "That''s what we want to suggest, Master." Xuan Wu said with a warm smile. "Yes. Although we are confident in our power to protect you but releasing it in mortal realm might attract unwanted attention. We can''t risk your safety since you haven''t started your cultivation." Qing Long added. "Since you already spoke, let us start right away. Pleasee with me to the Crescent Chamber, My Lady." Zhu Que and both of them walked ahead, entering the Moon Pce, headed toward Crescent Chamber. Ming Yue knew there was a room called Crescent Chamber but she had not entered yet. It turned out, inside there was an altar with sword floating at the center of it. In front of the altar there was small granite desk and thick scroll on too of it. Ming Yue entered the chamber, walked along the path that had small stone pirs on each sides and blue mes floating on top of it. "That is.." Ming Yue stared at the floating sword with frown on her face. Her breathing became slightly heavy. Why? Why she had the urge to cry? Ming Yue didn''t know the reason why her heart ached for no reason. "That is your sword, Silver Moon." Zhu Que answered, took the scroll off the granite desk and presented it to Ming Yue. "This is a Jianshu scroll. Inside is the legendary sword art that has been lost for thousand years. It''s called Yueliang Hua. The meaning is ''Moon Flower Dance''." (A/N : Jianshu means Sword y or Sword art) Ming Yue took the scroll off Zhu Que''s hand and opened it but what she saw was nk page. She raised a brow, "There is nothing in it." Zhu Que smiled in amusement, "Because it is hidden. Drop a single blood of yours, My Lady and you can see it. Only the real owner of Tianshang De Kongjian can read the scroll of Yueliang Hua." "Allow me, My Lady." Xuan Wu took out a silver needle out of nowhere and pricked her finger. Ming Yue dropped a single blood on the scroll page and it disappeared. Soon pictures and words appeared on it, it made Ming Yue gaped on how fantastic this scroll was. Ming Yue lifted her head, gazing at the sword. "About the sword.. don''t tell me that it''s a sword that chooses its master." she made a guess. "Why don''t you step forward and see for yourself." Zhu Que answered with a smile full of mystery. Staring at Zhu Que with dubious look, Ming Yue stepped forward. The moment she moved closer to the sword, it started to glow. Ming Yue paused her step for a short while before braving herself to walk closer to the altar. Her hand was lifted and the moment she grabbed the handle, it shone brightly. Then a voice echoed in her mind, a cute voice of a little girl. "This soul.. MASTEEEEERR!!" Silver Moon cried, "FINALLY, FINALLY YOU HAVE RETURNED!!" "Wait.." Ming Yue tried to say that she was too loud but the sword kept on crying. "I AM SOOOOO LONELY!! SOOOO LONELY!! MASTEEEEEERR~!!" "Look--" "MY HEART ALMOST SHRIVELED LIKE THAT OLD MAID BIRD~~!!!!"Content ? N?velDrama.Org. A vein popped on Zhu Que''s head while the other three male beasts tried their best not to show any expression norughter. "Stop--" "I WAS WAITING AND WAITING BUT MASTER NEVER CAAAAMMEE~~!!!" "Please--" "HOW COULD YOU BE SO MEAN, MASTEEEERR~!!! YOU DON''T LIKE LITTLE YIN (SILVER) ANYMORE? YOU DON''T WANT LITTLE YIN ANYMORE? DO YOU PREFER LITTLE YIN BE GONE SO YOU CAN PLAY WITH HOT STUDS?" Ming Yue rubbed her forehead with her other hand as she let Silver Moon kept on bawling, but the more she heard Silver Moon''s words the more she stared the sword in disbelief. What''s with this drama queen act? Was this really a sword? "Stop crying, you shameless sword!!" Zhu Que finally snapped and Silver Moon retorted, "Who you called ''Shameless'', you old bird! Isn''t it better for you to have a taste of men once?" Silver Moon said and even though Ming Yue didn''t see a face, from the tone alone she could tell that Silver Moon was sneering. "You..!" "Okay, enough. Little Yin, I am sorry to disappoint you but I am not your original master. I am the current master but still I apologize for making you wait so long." Ming Yue cut in the middle of their ''improper'' arguments before anymore could be said. "Original master? Current master?" Silver Moon''s tone filled with confusion. The four beasts became tense and Zhu Que spoke to Silver Moon. "Yin, I will exin it to youter." Silver Moon sensed the tension in Zhu Que''s tone, she decided to y along. "Okay then~" Then the tense atmosphere broken by Silver Moon''s next words, "So Master, let''s search some hot studs right away!!" Ming Yue could only sighed as she shook her head in resignation. Looks like her home would be noisier. The Adoption Offer The Adoption Offer (A/N : Thank you for reading this story. Please support the Author if you like this story by giving rate, likes andments! ( ¡ì ...)/) A day had passed in Tianshang De Kongjian since Ming Yue began her study in Martial art and Sword Art ''Yueliang Hua''. For martial art, Ming Yue was taught by Bai Hu and Qing Long and for Yueliang Hua, Ming Yue had to study it on her own. There was 9 stages in Yueliang Hua. It used both Yin and Yangbination. Ming Yue finally understood why Zhu Que said that many martial artist were searching for this Jianshu. Just by reading it, Ming Yue understood how powerful art Yueliang Hua was. From what she learned from Zhu Que, it was hard tobine Yin and Yang power because they were opposite. Demon realm used Yin as their power core while Heaven realm used Yang as their power core. That was why Yueliang Hua was so powerful, because it needed a strong mentality to bnce both Yin and Yang thenbined it as one. Thus after spending for exactly 6 hours, Ming Yue managed to learn the first stage of Yueliang Hua. ____________________________________________ "*Who are you?" The sword with crystal de glowed in blueish color. "My name is Chang''e, your master." The beautiful woman smiled, "I am the one that made you." "Made me? but I am a mere sword. How can I have consciousness?" The sword asked. "Because I gave you a fragment of my soul. Your name is Little Yin, pleasure take care of me from now on okay~?" The woman spoke, caressing the sword gently and full of love. "Okay~! Master also, please treat me well~!" Little Yin replied cheerfully. "Remember Little Yin, you and I are one. Together we shall explore the world." The woman gave a small kiss to the sword. "Yes, Master! You and me are one!" Little Yin followed what Chang''e said. "But Master, what do we do when we explore the world?" "Hmmmm~" Chang''e put her pointy finger on her small yet sexy looking lower lip and tapped on it for a few times before she let out a smirk "We''re going to look for Hot Studs~" "Hot Studs? What is that, Master? Is it Food?" The pure Little Yin didn''t know that her Master was going to corrupt her mind right after she was born. "No No No~" Chang''e giggled naughtily "It''s HOT MEN, Little Yin~ We are going to search for Hot Men, y with them and dump them after ~" Little Yin didn''t say anything for a while before replying to Chang''e, "But Master.. why do I feel that doing something like that is not a good thing?" "Oh my Little Yin, that''s just your imagination ~" Chang''eughed softly, clearly amused with Little Yin''s reply. "In this world, there are many men ying around with women then throw them after like trash, you know." "What?! That''s horrible, Master!!" Little Yin fumed with anger. "That''s why, we will give judgment to those men!" Chang''e said, clearly with an expression that saying ''My Action Is Justifiable''. "That''s right, Master! Let''s search for those men!" Little Yin agreed. "Fu Fu Fu~ I knew you are the only one who understands me, Little Yin~" Chang''e let out an evil chuckle. "Fu Fu Fu~ You and I are one, Master. Of course I understand you~" Both the woman and sword chuckled evilly and that was the start of their adventure searching for ''Hot Studs*''. ____________________________________________ Ming Yue returned to mortal realm around 6 AM, her mind was full of the dream she had. She couldn''t believe that the one who taught Little Yin about Hot Studs was the previous Master, Chang''e. She scoffed inwardly in disbelief, somehow this woman called Chang''e was a naughty woman. There were three people in the dining room by the time Ming Yue came down from the guest room with Bai Hu. It was Uncle Jian, Aunty Mei and Grandpa Wu. "Good morning Grandpa Wu, Uncle Jian, Aunty Mei." Ming Yue greeted them politely. "Good Morning." Shi Jian and Fan Mei replied with warm smiles. "Good Morning, Little Yue. Did you have a good sleep?" asked Grandpa Wu. "Yes. I did, Grandpa Wu. How about you, Uncle Jian and Aunty Mei?" "Well I had a good sleep, my body felt refreshed for some reason." Grandpa Wu answered. "Me too. My body feels lighter now." Shi Jian added. "Me as well." Fan Mei followed her husband. "That''s great to hear." Ming Yue said in a relief. "Good Morning!" Both Lin Shao and Lin Zhao came down from their room and sat next to Ming Yue on each sides. Bai Hu rolled his eyes seeing how the twins acted. "I can see that the two of you are feeling good." Grandpa Wu noticed the good mood the twins had. Lin Shao grinned, "It''s because today is saturday! meaning, No school!" Fan Mei sighed, "This child ah.. when there is no school you be so energetic. Don''t forget to review your study at home." "I will, I will." Lin Shao saidzily and shared a knowing look with Lin Zhao. Both of them wanted to spend the entire day at Tianshang De Kongjian and thus the reason for their excitement. Ming Yue knew this and could only shook her head inwardly. While having breakfast Grandpa Wu asked about Ming Yue n for the day. "I am going to real estate agent to buy a house for myself." Ming Yue said and silence descended in the dining room. "Buy your own house? but the money.." Shi Jian looked worried. "Ah, I forgot to tell you all that I sold some herbs and ginsengs and earned 21 Millions." Ming Yue dropped the news casually. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . However the Wu family who heard it had their eyes widened in surprised. "21 Millions?!" Grandpa Wu asked in incredulous tone. Grandpa Wu asked what kind of herbs and ginsengs that Ming Yue and when he heard the answer, he understood why Ming Yue could earn 21 millions. He still couldn''t believe that those herbs and ginsengs were found on the mountain. The twins however, knew that Ming Yue lied about finding it on the mountain. They already went to Tianshang De Kongjian so they had seen the farmnds and greenhouses in that ce. They had a hard time holding back theirughter seeing how their parents and grandfather somehow believed Ming Yue''s words. "Little Yue, why don''t you stay in this house permanently?" Grandpa Wu asked and Ming Yue was stunned by his words. "Permanently?" Ming Yue repeated the words. "Yes, actually I already talked with Shi Jian and Fan Mei. They also agreed to have you adopted into the family." Grandpa Wu exined. "What?! So Sister Yue will really be my sister?! Sweeeet~! I agree!" Lin Shao raised his right hand. "Me too!" Lin Zhao raised her right hand along with Lin Shao, "I am happy to have Sister Yue as my sister!" "See? Even the twins agree." Grandpa Wu said happily. He was happy because the twins really liked Ming Yue. The reason why he wanted to adopted Ming Yue because he wanted the girl to taste the warmth of family. He noticed that this little girl always had cold and indifferent expression and her eyes showed how deste she was. It was like she was alone in her lonely world. Grandpa Wu wanted to change that. He wanted to show Ming Yue that even though she was abandoned, there were other people who could love her for who she really was. "So how is it?" Grandpa Wu asked, waiting for her answer. Ming Yue looked down, didn''t utter a single word for a while. The atmosphere in the dining room became tense, as if with a single poke it could blow up. Ming Yue gulped once before answering. "...I.." Ming Yue''s voice became hoarse, "..I really don''t know what to say, Grandpa Wu." Grandpa Wu rxed and chuckled softly, "Ai this little girl, you can say ''Yes''." "But.." "No but." Fan Mei cut Ming Yue''s words, "I really want you to be our daughter. Even my husband adores you despite his stoical face." Shi Jian coughed in embarrassment and Fan Mei giggled at his behavior. Lin Shao grabbed Ming Yue''s hand, "Sister Yue, please yes! I really want you to be my sister!" "Yes, Sister Yue! pretty pleaaseee." Lin Zhao grabbed Ming Yue''s other hand. Ming Yue was rendered speechless by the twins'' plea. She sighed with soft smile and finally nodded. The twins'' eyes sparkled and hugged her happily. "YAAAAAYY!!" They shouted loud enough for Ming Yue tough with a slight grimace. Shi Jian and Fan Mei chuckled while Grandpa Wuughed as they watched the twins. Ming Yue gazed at Grandpa Wu, Shi Jian and Fan Mei. "Then, please take care of me from now on." Ming Yue bowed her head slightly. "Ai, you''re being overly polite." Grandpa Wu grumbled "I will have your adoption paper ready as soon as possible." "Yes, thank you Grandpa Wu, Uncle Jian and Aunty Mei." Ming Yue said with a grateful smile. "Although the papers are not ready yet, practice yourself to call us Grandfather, Father and Mother." Shi Jian said, "That.." Ming Yue became flustered, with shy smile she called out to the three, "..Grandfather.. Father.. and Mother.." "Hmm." Shi Jian nodded, clearly satisfied as they continued eating breakfast harmoniously. On the side, Bai Hu who stood silence while paying attention the whole time, stared at Ming Yue''s happy expression with eyes full of adoration. ''I am d you have found people who can ept you, Master.'' Bai Hu mused Unexpected Encounter Unexpected Encounter Now that Ming Yue decided to live in Wu Family permanently, her n to go to real estate agency was canceled automatically. Now the only thing she needed to do was to go to Uncle Chu about her n in quiting her work and to invest in his business. When Ming Yue mentioned her n when the family gathered in the living room after breakfast, Uncle Jian-- Her father nodded in agreement and the whole family supported her. For the first time in Ming Yue''s life she felt the support of family. She had to fight the tears that threatened toe out of the corner of her eyes. On the other hand, Shi Jian was amazed by his adopted daughter. Not only having the special power, she was guarded by a guardian spirit and now she made a decision that no mere 15 years old girl could make! His heart filled with warmth and pride knowing this amazing little girl was now his daughter. Recalling his father''s words about how he saw Ming Yue as a lonely girl with deste heart, Shi Jian felt his heart filled with rage at the adults who mistreated Ming Yue. How could they abandon a child like that? Even though it might be scary to have a child who had the power to see ghosts, but Shi Jian would never abandoned an innocent child like those people did. No wonder Ming Yue grew up to be a cold person. How hurt she must have been knowing that her own parents didn''t even want her. While holding these thoughts, Shi Jian watched Ming Yue''s back as she walked away with the twins followed along by her sides. "Dear, what''s wrong?" Fan Mei saw how Shi Jian stared at Ming Yue until she disappeared beyond the door. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. "I just thought that our adopted daughter is too pitiful." Shi Jian said with a heavy sigh, "To be abandoned by her own parents, then to be mistreated by her adoptive family, the wounds in her heart is..." Shi Jian couldn''t continue further. "I agree but because of that she has be a strong girl. Yue''er is even more mature than the twins." Fan Mei giggled. "All we can do is showering her with care and love." Grandpa Wu who listened to their conversation, joined in. "The twins already did it. I can see how they love Little Yue so much." "Love? They worship Yue''er. Maybe because of thest night incident, they think of Yue''er as their hero." Fan Mei said with a smile. Grandpa Wu and Shi Jianughed as they agreed to what Fan Mei said. ____________________________________________ On the other side, Ming Yue was walking with Lin Shao and Lin Zhao by her sides. Bai Hu was carried in Lin Zhao''s arms, it was her turn to y with Bai Hu. Bai Hu didn''t care all that much who was carrying him, for him mortals were just the same. "Sister Yue, after you finished with your business, can we visit your ce again?" Lin Shao asked eagerly. "Heh, brat. Look at you being all eager." Bai Hu snorted. He let the twins heard his words now but for others, they could only hear cat''s meowing voice. "It''s because Sister Yue''s home is amazing! I also want to y with the other guardians!" Lin Shao replied. "I also want to speak with them more." Lin Zhao added. "Okay but I won''t be able to apany you both." Ming Yue warned them. Hearing that, the twins gave a puzzled look. "I have to learn Martial arts and Sword art." Ming Yue exined. Lin Shao became excited right away. "Martial art and sword art?! Can I learn it too, Sister Yue?! Please, can I?" he begged Ming Yue in a spoiled tone. "Only Martial arts, as for sword art you can''t. as for the reason, I will exin itter. It''s not good to talk about that here." Ming Yue answered while scanning around the street they were walking on. As her eyes roamed around, her eyes caught a cknd cruiser was stopping across the street. At first Ming Yue didn''t really pay attention, but she stopped abruptly when the person who came out of the driver seat caught her eyes. It was HIM.. Long Zhi Qiang.. but why was he here? Ming Yue remembered that the first time she met Long Zhi Qiang was when she was in college. Then howe he was in D city? Seeing Ming Yue stopped abruptly and stared at the man across the street with horrid expression, Lin Shao frowned. "Sister Yue?" Ming Yue''s breath became slightly heavy, she didn''t hear when Lin Shao called out her name. Her eyes never left Long Zhi Qiang''s face as she lifted her hand and ced it on her chest. ''It''s not beating hard..'' Ming Yue mused inside, ''There is still heartache remains but my heart doesn''t beat for him anymore.'' With a sigh of relief, Ming Yue turned her gaze away from the devilishly handsome looking man and resumed her steps. She ignored the manpletely. ''..Long Zhi Qiang, this is where we part ways.'' ''I can finally let you go now..'' ''Farewell..'' However what Ming Yue didn''t know, while she was saying goodbye, the other party would not let her go. Ming Yue thought that she could end the connection she had with Long Zhi Qiang but fate.. spoke differently... Heartache And Longing Heartache And Longing (A/N : Thank you for reading this story. Please support the Author if you like this story by giving rate, likes andments! ( ¡ì ...)/) (A/N: BGM I chose while typing this is ''Liang Liang by Yang Zongwei ft. Zhang Bichen. It''s a soundtrack of Eternal Love~ ( ''? ''?)) The moment Long Zhi Qiang opened his eyes, he had returned to 10 years ago. It was long before he met Ming Yue. Zhi Qiang never believed in something like reincarnation but it happened to him. It was still fresh in his mind how he lived after Ming Yue''s death. In his dream, a voice kept repeating on how he had failed to save her, how he had failed to notice her, how he had broken her heart and how he should have recognize her. Yes.. he had indeed broken her heart.. Zhi Qiang lived as a deste man. He didn''t marry Ying Yue nor he had any contact with her after. His heart had shriveled, became dry and deste. Missions.. only that kept him going and in thest mission.. He died.. After he reincarnated, Zhi Qiang searched for the whereabouts of Ming Yue. It didn''t take long for him to find where she was and now Zhi Qiang was here, standing across her. He thought of wanting to get close to her as soon as possible. Yes.. until her eyes caught his presence and a horrid expression clearly seen on her face. Zhi Qiang watched her action as if it was a scene of a drama. How she lifted her hand and ced it on her chest while staring at him with those unreadable eyes. How she looked relieved soon after then averted her gaze, brushing him off from her view as if he didn''t matter at all to her. As if.. he was nothing more than dust in her eyes.. Zhi Qiang felt a painful stab in his heart as a realization came to his mind. If he was reincarnated then Ming Yue might be reincarnated as well. Her eyes when she saw him just now, it couldn''t be hidden. She KNEW him. But if she knew him.. why did she ignore him..? Zhi Qiang vowed in hisst life that he would give everything to her. He would dote and pamper her rotten. Could it be... Wanting to find out the truth, Zhi Qiang crossed the street and chased after the group of three people. "Wait!" Zhi Qiang managed to catch up and grabbed Ming Yue''s arm, pulled her slightly. Ming Yue turned her head and gazed on the man coldly "Is there something?" She asked in icy tone that could freeze anyone''s heart when they heard it. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Lin Zhao and Lin Shao shivered a little. Both of them paid attention to both Ming Yue and the unknown man with tension on their faces. Zhi Qiang was caught off guard as her cold gaze met his. The Ming Yue he knew before was not a cold person, the Ming Yue he knew before was a warm, loving woman. "Ming Yue.." Zhi Qiang called out her name. It was just a name but when Zhi Qiang spoke, it sent ripples in his heart. The longing he couldn''t speak of was so great that he almost couldn''t hold back to pull her into his arms. "You knew me, didn''t you?" Zhi Qiang asked softly but Ming Yue didn''t even give a single reaction. The reason why Ming Yue didn''t give a single reaction was because inside she was quite shocked. Zhi Qiang words only proved one thing.. He was reincarnated person as well.. But why? How could Zhi Quang be reincarnated? Was heaven cruel enough to reincarnate her along with this man? No.. She had had enough.. Even if this man also reincarnated, Ming Yue didn''t want to have anything to do with him anymore.. Ming Yue already gave her heart and life to this man in the past life.. It should be enough for her to be free from him.. "Yes." Ming Yue finally answered and Zhi Quang''s eyes lit up. However Ming Yue''s next words put his heart into the abyss of despair. "But this time I don''t want to have anything to do with you anymore. Mr. Long, this is where we part." Zhi Qiang''s eyes filled despair, "..Do you hate me now?" He asked in hoarse voice. ''Do I hurt you so much in the past that you don''t want to have anything to do with me this time?'' Zhi Quang wanted to ask that question but he was afraid to hear the answer. It was because he knew it well what he did to her in the past. "Hate?" Ming Yue chuckled coldly, "I wonder if this feeling can be called ''Hate''. The right term is.. DESPISE.." "Now please let your hand off my arm." Ming Yue ordered, her eyes gave out a murderous gaze and it radiated from her body. Even Bai Hu hissed at Zhi Qiang. Zhi Qiang was almost choked by his own breath when the murderous aura was directed at him. His hand slowly unhanded the grip on Ming Yue''s arm. "Never appear before me again." Ming Yue gave Zhi Qiang a warning. There was nothing but coldness in the depth of her beautiful ck eyes. Zhi Qiang''s met her gaze with a painful one. He let out a heavy breath slowly and softly before asking, "If I don''t want to do what you ask?" "Then don''t me me for being rude." Ming Yue replied shortly. Zhi Qiang closed his eyes as his face distorted with misery but when he opened his eyes, determination and stubbornness was painted clearly on his face. "..I won''t do what you ask.." (A/N : The words below is spoken by two voices. that''s why there is {..} icon) {"If it is a sin to love you then I shall dly bear it."} {"If it is a crime to desire you, then I shall dly take any punishment given to me."} {"But you must remember, Chang''e.. {Ming Yue..} No matter how many times you reject me, curse me, insult me, I won''t give up."} {"You can run away even to end of the earth or deep into the abyss, I.. Zhong Kui {Long Zhi Qiang} will never let you go."} Ming Yue frowned deeply, her eyes were dted when Zhi Qiang said those words. In her mind it was ovepping with another voice simr to Zhi Qiang. It was deep and sensually dangerous that it made her heart ached with sadness and longing. Why? Why the sadness and longing? Irritated because of the feelings she couldn''t understand, Ming Yue red at the man with utmost coldness. "Fine, do your best. Don''t ever regret it. MR... LONG.." She spatted his name with utmost disgust before she turned around and walked away. Zhi Qiang stared at her leaving back, recalling the tone of disgust when she called his name. Chuckles full of mockery escaped Zhi Qiang''s lips. He really DID get retribution for his past mistake. This was just him paying for his sins. The woman he loved already froze her heart, there was nothing but coldness for him. Just like what he did to her. Yet he couldn''t give up. No.. more like he DIDN''T WANT to give up. It was better to kill himself than to give her up. If his punishment was to chase her endlessly then he would do it. Looks like in this life time having his feelings returned was just a wishful thinking. But being near her was better than none at all. Even if Ming Yue despised him, Zhi Qiang would be a shameless stalker only for her. ''Ming Yue.. in this life time you don''t have to do anything..'' ''Let mee to you instead..'' Contemplations Of The Three Contemtions Of The Three "Sister Yue.." Lin Zhao ran after Ming Yue who walked away in a hurry. Lin Shao managed to catch Ming Yue''s hand and he frowned on how cold her hand was. "Sister Yue, your hand is so cold." He muttered and hold it with both hands, trying to warm it. Ming Yue''s lips trembled slightly, she tried to adjust her messed up feelings but tears soon running down her cheeks. The twins was surprised to see Ming Yue in tears. Bai Hu''s eyes grew cold, rage filled his heart. "I am fine." Ming Yue forced a smile, wiping the tears off her face. Lin Zhao couldn''t stand seeing how Ming Yue forcing herself to smile. She rushed forward and hugged Ming Yue tight. Her heart ached for Ming Yue. Lin Zhao noticed how mature Ming Yue was during the time they spent together in Tianshang De Kongjian. She felt Ming Yue was forced to be mature despite having the same age as her and Lin Shao. It made her wondered how many wounds in her heart for her to be so mature. "I am here. WE are here. So don''t be sad, Sister Yue." Lin Zhao murmured in reassuring tone and kept saying it over and over, just like cating a child. Ming Yueughed softly, feeling warmth returned to her body. Yes.. She had siblings, she had family, she had the four beasts. She wasn''t alone anymore. Patting Lin Zhao''s back gently with her free hand and gripping tight Lin Shao''s hands, Ming Yue murmured in soft voice, "Thank you, Brother Shao, Sister Zhao." The twins finally released themselves from her. The three stared at each other for a while andughed together because they felt silly and it was funny. They walked together, having small silly chats as if wanting to erase the tense atmosphere. Lin Shao actually wanted to ask what was going on between his Sister Yue and that man, because no matter how he looked at it, that man was way older than Sister Yue. Sister Yue was 15 years old, just like him and Lin Zhao but that man looked like in his twenties. Probably around 22 or 23.. or maybe even more! And yet.. Why both Sister Yue and that man interaction was like they had known each other for a long time? More over, why did Sister Yue act like she had a love rtionship with that man and looked so heartbroken? Lin Shao remembered what the man said to his sister and he felt his blood began to boil. Judging from how Sister Yue acted, it seemed the man was no good and he dared to say those words? If it was a sin to love Sister Yue, he dly bear it? Who did he think he was?! If it was a crime to desire Sister Yue, then he dly took any punishment? Go to jail then, damn pervert! More over that man dared to say that no matter how many times Sister Yue rejected him, cursed him, insulted him, he wouldn''t give up?! What was he? A masochist psycho?! Sister Yue could run to end of the earth or deep into the abyss but he wouldn''t let her go? HE WAS A DAMN STALKER!! A PERVERT, MASOCHIST PSYCHO STALKER!!! Lin Shao knew that his Sister Yue was beautiful, VERY beautiful in fact. She had this mature, alluring and divine aura radiating from from her body, probably that was the reason why the damnable man whose name Lin Shao didn''t know, attracted to her. Wait.. Sister Yue called him Mr. Long.. and.. Oh!! the damnable man called himself Long Zhi Qiang! NOW he could report this to father and grandfather. They adored Sister Yue and they wouldn''t like it if they heard a psycho was stalking Sister Yue. Yes.. for the safety of Sister Yue, Lin Shao decided to clean up the mess before it got messier. "Brother Shao..?" Ming Yue called out to Lin Shao who looked like in his own world. Ling Shao snapped out of his own reverie and in front of him was Ming Yue and Lin Zhao who gave him puzzled look. "Ah, sorry. I was thinking of something." He said, rubbing the back of his head and let out an apologetic smile. Ming Yue shook her head with a smile, "Well, we have arrived and we called you out because you were in a daze." Lin Shao lifted his head and gazed upon the wooden signboard that had ''Chu Hui Restaurant'' words written on it. "Ah right! Let''s get this over with so we can go to Sister Yue''s ce!" He said excitedly C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. and entered the restaurant ahead of them. Lin Zhao scoffed in disbelief as she watched her twin brother excitedly entered the restaurant. "Seriously that twin brother of mine." She grumbled and held Ming Yue''s hand. "Let''s go in together, Sister Yue." She said with a bright smile. Ming Yue''s lips curled upward and nodded. She entered the restaurant together with Lin Zhao, however Bai Hu remained outside. His head turned to the direction where Ming Yue met Long Zhi Qiang. His blue eyes filled with cold rage and desire to kill. ''You had your chance but you ruined it..'' ''Now you want to get close to My Lady again..?'' ''Like I will let you get close to her..'' Bai Hu mused inwardly. He disliked Long Zhi Qiang before and he disliked him even more now. He had the same scent as that man called Zhong Kui, even his words were overbearing just like that rotten man. Bai Hu was deep in his contemtion, he kept thinking of the ''What ifs'' story. If His Master didn''t sneak out of the heaven realm and explore the world, then she wouldn''t meet Zhong Kui. If His Master didn''t meet Zhong Kui, then she wouldn''t attract that man''s attention. If His Master didn''t attract Zhong Kui''s, then she wouldn''t be pursued and ended up falling for him. If His Master didn''t fall for Zhong Kui, then she wouldn''t fall into a trap and ended up having her goddess soul binded by curse chain and fell into mortal realm. If only... they had not met at all.. Red Tiger Gang Red Tiger Gang (A/N : Thank you for reading this story. Please support the Author if you like this story by giving rate, likes andments! ( ¡ì ...)/) Chu Hui Restaurant had a simple design but even so, it had many regrs. Mostly because Uncle Chu was a very good cook. Ming Yue learned a lot from him and respected him so much. "Small Moon, you''re here." Uncle Chu said, "Sit wherever you want." Uncle Chu always called her ''Small Moon'' because of her name. Though it was weird to be called small when she had 169cm height. Well in males view, Ming Yue was indeed small. Ming Yue smiled at the 48 years old looking man and gazed around, "Uncle Chu, there are no customers?" She asked because it was rare for Chu Hui''s restaurant to have a single customer. "Ah.. that.. Looks like I am going to be out of business soon." He said with a grimace, his face wearing a painful expression. "Why?" Ming Yue frowned, her eyes became wary. Lin Zhao and Lin Shao frowned on their seats. "It''s nothing. You don''t have to worry about it." Uncle Chu waved his hand, tried to brush off and changed the subject. "You need to go to find another ce to work, Small Moon." Uncle Chu added Ming Yue took a step closer, pausing before taking a few steps more. "Uncle Chu, you epted me as a worker despite all the rumors about me. For that I am forever in debt with you." She touched his hand, "Please, tell me.. What exactly happened..?" Uncle Chu sighed softly, "You ah.. why are you so stubborn?" Ming Yue smiled and tilted her head, staring at the older man with innocent yful eyes. "Maybe I got it from you?" She blinked a few times and Uncle Chuughed softly and patted her head. He really like this little girl, she was strong despite the hell she had been through. Chu Hui An took her as a worker because he knew how it felt to be abandoned by one''s own family. No one was there for him at the time but at least he could be there for her. "Actually--" "Hey hey hey~ Look what we got here~" A rough voice could be heard when the door opened and group of rough looking people came in. With one look, anyone could tell that they were gangsters. There were six people, two of them were carrying baseball bats. "Looks like this restaurant still has customers, huh?" The person, who acted like the leader, spoke. Lin Zhao and Lin Shao became tensed and Ming Yue''s brow furrowed deeply. "And I assume you are not here as a customer.." Ming Yue paused as her eyes quick scanned the man from head to toe before meeting the man''s eyes again, gesturing to their shy, thug like clothes. "..Judging from the Content ? N?velDrama.Org. clothes you wear." The leader noticed Ming Yue''s beauty from the first time he entered the restaurant. Hell the little girl''s beauty was captivating!! Now seeing it from a close view, staring at that petite, delicate figure that had divine alluring aura, the leader felt his body became hot and his pants became tight. Damn it!! He wanted to press this little girl and made her moan beneath him. It must have felt good to turn this little girl into a woman with his ''care''. "Well aren''t you a pretty little doll~ We are lucky this time, eh guys?" The man said while raking Ming Yue''s body with his lecherous eyes. "Small moon--" Uncle Chu wanted to take Ming Yue''s behind him to protect her but Ming Yue gave the old man a reassuring smile. Uncle Chu didn''t know what overcame him but seeing that smile, he really felt like everything would be alright. "No, sweetie babe. We are not customers, we are here to take more money from that old man. But today must be my lucky day, to meet a sweetie pie like you here. Come with me, I will show you a good time." The leader said and looked at Uncle Chu with a warning eyes. The men chuckled evilly as they stared at Ming Yue. The group''s attention focused on Ming Yue which was a good thing for Ming Yue. She didn''t want them to notice Lin Zhao and Lin Shao all that much. This was the only way she could protect them. She could send them Tianshang De Kongjian, but with other people''s eyes here, it wouldn''t do any good to have both of her prescious siblings disappeared into thin air. Thus the reason why she endured being stared by those lecherous eyes. A cold smirk appeared on her beautiful face, "Good time, huh? Sounds nice but no thanks, I hate to mingle with low graded men." she said arrogantly. The leader''s face turned red hearing Ming Yue''s words, his blood boiled with rage. Seeing how Ming Yue arrogantly saying those words made the rage grew even further. Arrogant women really annoyed him the most, he couldn''t wait to ****** inside this little girl so she couldn''t be arrogant anymore. "Then I will show you how low graded men act, capture her!" The leader barked an order to his fellow men and one of them moved closer to grab Ming Yue''s arm but Ming Yue blocked, made an elegant twist movement as the person''s arm followed the movement before Ming Yue mmed the back of her hands to the man''s chest. *BAM!!* The man flew while bending forward and mmed his back hard to the wall as it made a cracking sound. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Deep silence fell to the restaurant. The group of men gaped at their fallenrade and like a robot turned their head slowly to Ming Yue who still had the back of her hand facing them and her posture was like in those ancient Kung Fu movies!! Even Lin Zhao and Lin Shao who watched silently from the sideline, stared at Ming Yue with round shape mouth and stars in their eyes. No.. their eyes were totally sparkling! Slowly and elegantly, Ming Yue retracted her posture and returned to a standing position. "Anyone else wants to show me a good time?" She asked in cold tone while standing gracefully. Just like an ancient goddess.. The leader''s face became pale. He thought the little girl was a little rabbit but he was clearly wrong. This little girl was not simple, just like an Ice demoness!! If Ming Yue knew that the man thought her as little rabbit and ice demoness, she would definitely give the man a living hell. "You... Do you dare to defy The Red Tiger?" The man asked, his tone wasced with warning. "Yes." Ming Yue answered calmly. She knew the name Red Tiger, it was the biggest and strongest gangster in D City. She used to hear it in the past and couldn''t help but marvel at the thought of how she got entangled with them in this life time. She somehow realized how her life took a different path from her past one. As her path changed then her future would change.. Somehow she had aplex feeling about it, the feeling of fear and excitementbined into one.. Ming Yue wondered if this was Chang''e''s feeling when she said she wanted to explore the world.. ...Even though the goal was something Ming Yue frowned upon.. The leader gnashed his teeth and clenched his fist upon hearing the little girl''s answer. He pointed at Ming Yue, "Then you better watch your back, you maybe good but you are only one person. You can''t protect everyon--" "IF.." Ming Yue cut the leader''s words and murderous aura came out of her, "You dare to touch the people I care about.." Ming Yue said with a sharp cold glint appeared of her ck eyes, "I won''t be merciful.." The group felt their body frozen as the murderous aura was directed at them. They lost the ability to breath as their eyes shot at Ming Yue in horror. Only one thought shed through their mind at that moment. THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS DEFINITELY A DEMONESS!! They had been in dark side long enough to understand that not just anyone could emit such murderous aura. It as if they were in front of the BIG BOSS!! The moment Ming Yue retracted the aura, the men quickly scrambled out of the restaurant. However the leader was thest out and before he exited the restaurant, he took a nce at Ming Yue for the "Regret or not, I will know it once I visit your turf." Ming Yue replied, "Tell your boss that Ming Yue, the cursed child is going to visit Red Tiger to have a ''Proper Chat''." Ming Yue said, her toneced with coldness and.. evilness. The leader had shivers down his spine before leaving in silent. He knew the rumor about Ming Yue ''The Cursed Child'' and he agreed about one thing. That little girl might indeed cursed child. Who would in their right mind to visit a gangster turf?! That girl even said it so tantly! Looked like D city would be in chaos soon. The Unique Bai Hu The ''Unique'' Bai Hu Silence and peace returned inside the restaurant. Chu Hui An stared at Ming Yue worriedly, "Small Moon, you should leave this city with me. Red Tiger is not just ordinary gangster. They are ruthless to their enemies." "It''s okay Uncle Chu, I can handle it." Ming Yue took his hand with her both hands and gripped it gently, "You have protected me all this years, let me protect you now." She said sincerely. "Ah this child.." Uncle Chu''s eyes became red as tears threatened to flow down. It was definitely a good karma when he helped this child in the past. Fortunately, Small Moon was a child who paid kindness with more kindness. "Thank you, Small Moon." Uncle Chu said, his voice became hoarse. Ming Yue shook her head, "You can thank meter when I solved your problem. Now please tell me, how Red Tiger came to your door?" "Actually, I am in debt to Red Tiger because of my ex-wife. You know that my ex-wife ran away with another man, right?" Uncle Chu asked and Ming Yue nodded. "Well at that time, she took all my savings and left me nothing but this restaurant deed. I was so lost that I borrow money using this restaurant deed. I managed to pay the instalments so far but all of a sudden, the interest rate got doubled. I can''t pay it anymore since my restaurant is a small restaurant." Uncle Chu said with a heavy sigh. "That''s just ridiculous!" Lin Shao eximed, clearly in rage for the injustice treatment. "That''s just how gangster works, I think.." Lin Zhao spoke softly. However Ming Yue thought differently. There might be something amiss in the middle of all this and she intended to find it out. "Don''t worry Uncle Chu, I will take care of it." Ming Yue said with a reassuring smile. "But Small Moon.. I don''t want you to be in danger because of me.." Uncle said with a frown, gripping her hand tightly. "I always thought of you as my daughter, if anything happens to you.." Ming Yue kept her smile, "Don''t worry, I won''t be in danger." "True! My Lady won''t be in danger because I will be by her side." A voice spoke and four heads turned their gaze toward the source. The four heads gave different expression as they saw Bai Hu in his human form, with his hands on the waist and still wearing ancient clothes!! Lin Zhao was biting her lower lip, trying to hold theughter that threatened to burst out. Lin Shao had his palm covered his face as he sighed and shook his head. Ming Yue closed her eyes with her expression simr to Buddha, resigned to unavoidable fate. Uncle Chu stared at Bai Hu with mouth curled downward, lips parted and a raised eyebrow. The situation itself was quiteical but Bai Hu was not a being who had concern for such thing. He C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. still confidently stood there, waiting for them to speak but as the a whole minute passed, he frowned. "Why don''t you all say anything?" Uncle Chu finally reacted. He moved his head slowly and turned it to Ming Yue whose face showing the expression of enlightenment. Truly like a Buddha!! "Your..." Uncle Chu paused slightly as he tried to search for the right words, "..Acquaintance?" Ming Yue sighed in discontentment, as if the peace she found had been disturbed. She nodded without saying anything. "..I see.." Uncle Chu responded curtly but couldn''t help himself to say more words, "..What a ''Unique'' acquaintance you have." Ming Yue slumped her head down with a another sigh before opening her eyes and stared at Bai Hu''s proud face with a helpless eyes. "Well.. indeed he is.. um.. Unique." Ming Yue agreed, Unique? Try ''One of a kind''.. "Well, Uncle Chu.. That man who is standing proudly like an idiot over there is Bai Hu. Uhh.. My follower.." Ming Yue said. She chose the word follower because Bai Hu would call her using ''Master'' or ''My Lady''. If she said they were friends, then Bai Hu would have rejected the idea. So ''Follower'' was the right word to describe their rtionship. "Master! How could you say that about the great me?!" Bai Hu said sulkily, his face distorted as he pouted. "Follower?" Uncle Chu''s brows furrowed slightly, "Are you joining a gang now? is that why you dare to offend Red Tiger? You are such a good girl, why do you have to join a gang?" Uncle Chu shot barrage of questions, he was like a doting father who had his sweet daughter walked down a wrong path. It may looked silly to others but to Ming Yue, it made her frozen heart warmed instead. She really felt grateful to the heaven. In the past life, she had no one by her side but now, there were people who cared for her sincerely. First the Wu Family, now Uncle Chu was added into that circle. She wanted to protect them. Ming Yue chuckled softly and shook her head, "No. I don''t join any gang, Uncle Chu. You don''t need to worry, I am still the good girl you know." Ming Yue said in reassuring tone. "I called him my follower because he works under me. Let''s just say that he is kind of my guardian." Ming Yue exined. "I see. Well as long as you don''t join a gang then I am d." Uncle Chu said while patting Ming Yue''s head. "But.." Uncle Chu added, as he gave a quick nce at Bai Hu who was still sulking at the corner. He was sitting while resting his chin on the palm of his hand while facing the wall. "It''s better to tell your follower not to be so into Kung Fu series." Hearing that, Ming Yue, Lin Zhao and Lin Shao finallyughed hard and it made Bai Hu sulked even more. Later, Ming Yue had to try hard to cate Bai Hu to go with her to buy some clothes for him. Shopping!! Shopping!! (A/N : Thank you for reading this story. Please support the Author if you like this story by giving rate, likes andments! ( ¡ì ...)/) ''How did it be like this?'' Ming Yue mused as she stared at the four beast, who had turned into their human forms, were being noisy at a clothes store inside a mall in D City. "Sister Yue.." Lin Zhao who stood on Ming Yue''s left side, spoke. "..Somehow this is beyond what my mind can handle." "True.." Lin Shao who stood on Ming Yue''s right side, agreed. "The gap in civilization is truly terrifying." "Hahaha.." Ming Yue could onlyugh dryly. Somehow she regretted taking these beasts out of Tianshang De Kongjian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Few hours ago.. Ming Yue who finally manage to cate Bai Hu from his sulking mode, walked out of Chu Hui Restaurant after talking a bit more about his debt. She excused herself after seeing Uncle Chu was tired, maybe because he had a lot to worry about. Especially about Ming Yue who now caught Red Tiger''s eyes. In order for the beast toe to mortal realm without being a sore thumb, Ming Yue decided to summon them and having shopping spree together. The twins were clearly excited and agreed. They wanted to spend more time with the guardian beasts. The group of four people-- Bai Hu was included inside, walked toward the quiet ce near Uncle Chu''s restaurant before summoning the three beasts in their human form. The three beasts were happy, well Qing Long acted cool but Ming Yue could see in his eyes that he was truly happy. Those yellow eyes were sparkling! The owner didn''t realize it though.. Problem came when they went to the mall together. The group was became the center of attention! Especially Ming Yue and the four beasts. Many people gave Ming Yue a curious look seeing how the three heavenly handsome man and one divinely beautiful woman treated Ming Yue as if she stood above them. They even called Ming Yue with ''Master'' or ''My Lady''! This caused confusion among the people because Ming Yue was famous as a cursed child who was abandoned by her own parents. However Ming Yue at least could withstand something like that, if people wanted to look then she would let them be. She rather talked with the twins whileughing from time to time because of Qing Long and Bai Hu''s usual bickering. Another problem followed when they arrived at the mall. The four beasts looked at tall and wide building and thinking that this was a pce! They became noisy, asking Ming Yue who was the emperor. Lin Shaoughed so hard he clutched his stomach. Ming Yue exined that the era was different now. They had president instead of emperor and this ce was called Mall, a ce where stores were established. Nodded in understanding even though they still didn''t really get it, judging from the expression they showed her. Then.. As they entered the mall, it was a TOTAL MESS!! The four beasts stared at t screens with many ads ying, they became noisy. They said there were people trapped in that ''Thin Window Frame'' and they needed to save them from ck magic. Ming Yue felt her head aching. Couldn''t stand seeing Ming Yue had a hard time exining things to her guardians, Lin Zhao took the role instead. She exined it really well that made Ming Yue impressed. Lin Zhao had the talent to be a teacher or writer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- And now.. here she was.. with Lin Zhao and Lin Shao by her sides, staring at the four beasts who were being noisy about the clothes style. "We are going to really work hard today." Ming Yue said dryly. "Here I thought I can spend time in Tianshang De Kongjian.." Lin Shao said with a sigh, "Get this done as soon as possible then we can go there." Ming Yue said and ruffled his hair gently. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Lin Shao''s eyes brightened, "You promised, okay!" He said and rushed toward the four beasts. Lin Zhao and Ming Yue stared at each other for a short while and giggled softly. Lin Zhao could understand her twin brother''s feelings, she was the same as well. Tianshang De Kongjiang was really heavenly ce. She wouldn''t get bored because there were many things she could do there. The shopping spree session ended after Ming Yue bought a lot of clothes, shoes and smartphones for the four beasts. Of course she also boughtptops for them but she forbade them to use it for the time being. They needed to learn about their smartphones first. Ming Yue wanted to buy other things, like fridge, TV, rice cooker, etc for Tianshang De Kongjian but seeing the four beasts'' action, she didn''t have the will to be in anymore trouble than she already had. Thus they returned to Tianshang De Kongjian as soon as they found quiet ce, even it took great pain to find such ce. Because of that, Ming Yue decided to find her own ce and made a mental note to go to real estate agent when she was free. Even though she didn''t live there, at least she could put someone to take care of it, someone she could trust but finding it was hard. At least she put the matter in the back of her mind now. Ming Yue felt her life got busier now that she had four beasts to take care of but.. she felt this feeling was not bad at all.. Next n was.. dealing with Red Tiger Gang.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WARNING! MATURE CONTENT AHEAD! READ WITH CAUTION!] Inside the small office of Red Tiger Gang.. "Ahh! Ahh! mmm! Ahh~" Moaning sound could be heard from inside the room. A man stood there in front of the door, wondering whether he should knock or not. The man didn''t want to disturb his boss but this matter was urgent, if that little girl called Ming Yue decided to visit the main turf of Red Tiger then his boss would be in a very deep trouble. Yes.. the man was the leader of the group of thug who just visited Chu Hui Restaurant. "Mmm~ Ah! Ah! Oh God~! Please don''t be so rough~!" The leader sighed as he kept hearing the moaning sound. He decided to knock and a rough voice filled with irritation spoke. "Enter!" The leader entered the small office and saw a man in histe twenties was on top of a woman who was rough movement. This lecherous man was the branch head of Red Tiger Gang, Bai Zhang. "Boss.." The leader spoke. Bai Zhang kept thrusting hard into the woman while his one hand kneaded the woman''s ******. "What do you disturb me for, An Wu?!" He asked, didn''t bother to hide his irritation. "That.. Boss, Someone from Chu Hui Restaurant will visit the main turf soon and--" "What?!" Bai Zhang paused his movement for a while then he pounded the woman beneath him harder, "Tch! Stop the person! Do whatever it takes so Big Boss doesn''t know what we are doing!" "Ah! Hurts..! Ah! Ah! Master Bai.. Ah.. please.. Ah.. it hurts..!" The woman cried and moaned in pain but Bai Zhang didn''t care at all. He pped the woman hard as his movement became faster. "Shut up! You are just this master''s toy! All you have to do is spread your leg and satisfy me!" He said and grunted as he jerked forward, released himself inside the woman''s flower pot in one final ******. Bai Zhang closed his eyes in ecstasy, concentrating on releasing his seed, enjoying the feeling before he pulled himself out. "Who is the person?" He asked after putting his pants back in order, ignoring the woman who stillid on the desk unconsciously. "It''s a little girl, probably around 15 or 16 years old. Her name is Ming Yue. She is the rumored ''Cursed Child''." An Wu reported. "She is not a simple girl, Boss. That girl can defend herself." "Oh? Little girl around 15 or 16, huh?" Bai Zhang''s eyes became calctive. "Change of n, capture that girl. This master wants to have a taste of her body." An Wu was startled, "But Boss.. the girl is not simple.. She knows martial art.." "Then bring more of our people, I want that girl no matter what but remember, don''t let the Big Boss know." Bai Zhang said with a warning. "Yes Boss." An Wu said but couldn''t help feeling unease. Inviting the Ice Demoness here? wouldn''t that a suicidal act? However there was nothing he could do, an order had been issued so he had to do it whether he wanted to or not. Bai Zhang smiled in satisfaction, couldn''t wait to see the girl and tasted her body. Cultivation, Started! Cultivation, Started! In Tianshang De Kongjian, Ming Yue spent three hours practicing martial arts under Qing Long and Bai Hu''s tutorial. At first Lin Shao and Lin Zhao were only watching but soon they joined in. The reason was because they wanted to be by Ming Yue''s side. They didn''t want to be a dead weight and troubled Ming Yue. Seeing Ming Yue wanted to be stronger, the twins were motivated by her. After that, Ming Yue learned Yueliang Hua Jianshu while Lin Shao and Lin Zhao kept on practicing martial art. Well.. at least that was what they intended to do but when they saw the movement of Ming Yue practicing the second stage of Yueliang Hua, they were captivated and watched until the end. They were even surprised due to the sword in Ming Yue''s hand. As they were introduced to Silver Moon, Lin Shao''s eyes were especially sparkling as if diamonds were in his eyes. He finally got to see a sword with soul intact in it. A talking sword! Since five hours in Heavenly Space equaled one hour in Mortal Realm, after Ming Yue finished practicing the second stage of Yueliang Hua-- She still hadn''t mastered it though, Ming Yue entered her room to cultivate. During this time, the twins were warned by Zhu Que to not disturb Ming Yue because disturbance in cultivation would lead to internal injuries or worse, dying. So the twins practiced martial arts while waiting for Ming Yue. Meanwhile, Ming Yue was in the middle of concentration, gathering the aura into her body and cultivated it. Her body became so hot as if she was in the middle of burning me, she focused on channeling the aura from her lower dantian to all her body. Soon like a spark of me getting bigger, the power surged like a torrent of water. Outside, the four beasts who were apanying the twins in martial arts, stopped their movement and looked toward the Moon Pce. "This.." Zhu Que muttered as she felt the surge of power. Xuan Wu chuckled, "As expected of Master, She can break through that much." Lin Shao stared at Xuan Wu and Zhu Que, "Is there something wrong with Sister Yue?" he asked in worry. "No, My Lady has broken through in her cultivation." Xuan Wu answered with a proud smile as his eyes still locked on the top floor where Ming Yue''s chamber was. "As expected of My Lady, she can always exceed my expectation." Xuan Wu''s eyes filled with love and adoration. Lin Shao didn''t say anything after that and stared at the Moon Pce instead. He didn''t know much about cultivation but he was worried about his Sister Yue. Qing Long and Bai Hu were the same. In the past, their master always exceed their expectations. She was a genius, really one of a kind. "She has passed the Qi Condensation and entered Foundation Establishment, no.. she already at the peak of Foundation!" Bai Hu said as he felt the energy came from Moon Pce. "We don''t know yet. The energy keeps on rising, I am worried about her body." Qing Long said. "Wait.. the energy is stabilizing." Zhu Que said and the four beasts waited in silence. It took a while before they saw Ming Yue walked out of the Moon Pce and seeing her state, they sighed in relief. "We thought you''re going to breakthrough the peak of foundation, Master." Bai Hu said with a grin on his face. "I can but I decided to hold it back to let energy stabilize for a while before breaking through." Ming Yue exined. "Oh right, Qing Long I want to learn Qinggong, can you teach me?" Qing Long gave a warm smile filled with adoration. "Of course, My Lady" He said with a doting tone. It was a rare for Qing Long to express such emotion, probably because this was the first time in a long while Ming Yue requested something from him personally. "Whatever you ask, This Qing Long will grant it for you" He added and hearing those words, Ming Yue gave him a bright sweet smile. Yes.. that smile.. The smile that managed to captivate him so much in the past. The first time he saw that smile, Qing Long knew he was already a lost cause. ''My Lady Chang''e.. How I wish you remember this Qing Long..'' ''Remember the time we spent together..'' ''If only you hadn''t met that man..'' ''Then by now.. you and I still live a carefree life in heaven realm..'' Qing Long couldn''t helpmented on this fact but he couldn''t say it to Ming Yue. He had waited for thousand years, then he could for more even though he also felt impatient. Lin Zhao''s eyes stayed at Ming Yue since the time she walked out of the Moon Pce. Somehow Lin Zhao felt her powerful energy and what surprised her the most was how beautiful Ming Yue became. She was dazzling! Just like a fairy no.. Goddess! Even as a person with the same sex, Lin Zhao Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. couldn''t help but be attracted toward Ming Yue. "Sister Yue, you have be very beautiful.." Lin Zhao murmured the word softly. "Yeah, I agree.. I mean, Sister Yue was beautiful before but now, her beauty enters another level! It''s like she is a goddess!" Lin Shao added, his eyes also never left Ming Yue. Hearing the twins, the four beastsughed. "It''s because Master is a cultivator. The aura inside the body enhance the beauty. The higher the Aura, the more beautiful a person will be." Exined Zhu Que with a gentle smile. "Whaaat?!" Lin Shao said in a loud voice, "That''s definitely a cheat!" "I agree. Now I wish I am a cultivator." Lin Zhao said in envious tone. If she didn''t feel envious then she would not be a human but she only felt envy, not jealousy. "Well you can be a cultivator but--" "Really?!" Lin Shao cut Bai Hu''s words, "How?!" He asked in eager tone. Lin Zhao also listened to him, waiting for the answer eagerly. Bai Hu sighed, "Listen to me first, kids.. For mortals to be a cultivator, they need to have a near death experience. The process will be so painful because mortal body needs to be changed. They need to endure the painful experience for three days three night and if they fail.. only death waiting for them." Lin Zhao and Lin Shao were stunned, they looked down after hearing Bai Hu''s exnation. However Lin Shao was the first one to speak, "If I want to do it despite the dangerous risk, will you assist me?" "That.." Bai Hu was lost, didn''t know what to say. "I want to do it as well!" Lin Zhao made a decision. Zhu Que stepped in, "First tell me the reason. Why do the both you want to be cultivators, judging from the answer, we will see whether we should help you or not." "I have many reasons. I want to be strong, just like Sister Yue. Of course there is a part where I thought being a cultivator is cool, it is what I dream of since the first time I watched those ancient movies! But.." Lin Shao paused and turned his gaze to Ming Yue. "The main reason is Sister Yue." Lin Shao smiled gently, "Cultivators live longer than mortal. I know she has the four of you and Silver Moon is also included but I want to be by Sister Yue''s side.. Forever.." "Brother Shao.." Ming Yue stared at him, she was stunned by his words. "As for me, I also want to be strong like Sister Yue and Zhu Que. Yes, I also admit there is a part of me that wants to be as beautiful as the both of you but just like Lin Shao, I want to be with Sister Yue''s side more.. I really love the time we have spent together so far." Lin Zhao gazed at Ming Yue with a loving smile, "Sister Yue.. Ever since I got to know you and the world you are in, I want to be a part of it. I want to be in a world where you live, a dazzling world where I can be with you.. Forever.." Ming Yue was touched by the twins'' words but she had her own worries. "Brother Shao, Sister Zhao.. I am touched by your feelings but.. it''s a very dangerous path, I won''t be able to look at Father and Mother.. especially Grandfather if something happens to both of you." "Why don''t you both ask for their permissions first?" Bai Hu suggested. "Bai Hu!" Xuan Wu said his name with a warning. "What? Doesn''t the problem be easy to solve?" Bai Hu asked. Ming Yue sighed softly and stared at the twins. "Since you both determine to be cultivators, looks like we need to invite Father, mother and grandfather here and exin things." Looked like today would a very long day as well.. Ming Yues Greatest Secret Ming Yue''s Greatest Secret Ming Yue and the twins returned to the Wu house around 7PM. It showed how many hours they spent inside Tianshang De Kongjian. Shi Jian, Fan Mei and Grandpa Wu were in the living room, waiting for them toe and when they saw the group of three entered the living room, they shook their heads. "Look at these children, they left in the morning and returned when it''s dark" Fan Mei said with helpless smile. Shi Jian let out a soft smile, "Maybe because they have a new sister. It''s a good thing for siblings to be close with each other." Grandpa Wuughed softly as he didn''t say anything. Ming Yue stared at them with tense expression and the twins looked truly nervous. Seeing the three''s behavior, Shi Jian frowned slightly as he sensed that something was not right. "Father.. Mother.. and Grandfather, I have something to tell you.." Ming Yue said as started the conversation. The three adults stared at Ming Yue, waiting for her to speak more. "Actually I have a ce, call it.. Private Resort.. and this ce is not in this realm." Ming Yue said as she lifted her hand. "I think I better show you first.. then exin the restter.." Grandpa Wu frowned, "Private Resort but not in this realm..?" "If this is a joke then it is not funny." Shi Jian said in serious tone. "Father, this is not a joke." Lin Shao said, "Just let Sister Yue show you." "Please touch Sister Yue''s hand and you will know." Lin Zhao added. The three adults stared at each other before standing up and walked closer to Ming Yue. Lin Zhao and Lin Shao held Ming Yue''s other hand. Shi Jian stared at his twin children before touching Ming Yue''s finger. Fan Mei looked anxious as she followed her husband, touching Ming Yue''s hand and Grandpa Wu followed along. It didn''t take long before the scenery changed in a blink of an eye. The three adults were dumbfounded, they looked around in awe. "This is.." Shi Jian was lost for words, he couldn''t describe what he was seeing at the moment with words. Fan Mei covered her mouth with her hand before speaking, "This is.. your private resort, Yue er?" she asked. "Yes, mother. This ce is called Tianshang De Kongjian. It means Heavenly Space, I am the owner of this space." Ming Yue exined, "And.." she paused as she saw the four beast headed toward them. "They are my guardian spirits." Ming Yue saidas she pointed at the four beasts. The three adults stood frozen as they saw a dragon, a phoenix, a white tiger-- whom they knew before and a turtle with snake coiled around it headed toward them. Ming Yue was slightly worried about C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Grandpa Wu''s health but since there was Xuan Wu, her worry eased a little bit. It took quite a while to exin to the three adults about everything in Tianshang De Kongjian. The adults finally could ept the fact that there were many hidden things beyond the mortal realm they knew. The three beasts introduced themselves in beast form but they changed to human form soon after. It made the adults felt at ease a little bit because it was easier to talk to human form instead of talking to a beast directly. After that, Ming Yue gave them a tour in Tianshang De Kongjian. The adults were impressed of this Heavenly Space, it was truly magical and fantastical! Grandpa Wu finally knew that the herbs and ginsengs Ming Yue sold were something she got from this ce. Lin Zhao and Lin Shao had to hold back theirughter when Grandpa Wu said that he also wanted to buy the thousand years ginseng. Ming Yue only chuckled and promised to give it to him as a gift, hearing that Grandpa Wu became satisfied. However the tense atmosphere returned when Ming Yue told them that she was a cultivator and the twins desired to be one as well. Shi Jian''s face became scary as he stared at the twins. "You have heard the warning from Bai Hu and you still want to be one?" he asked in angry tone. They all currently gathered at the living room inside the Moon Pce. Lin Shao looked down before but hearing Shi Jian''s question, he dared to stare at his father. "Yes. I know it''s dangerous but Father.. I.. I want to be a cultivator like Sister Yue!" He said in determine tone. "Me too!" Lin Zhao added, her determination was not losing to Lin Shao. Fan Mei stared at her children with grievance, "What is the probability?" She asked Zhu Que. "The usual way is 50/50 chances.. but with our help, it can raise to 70/30." Zhu Que said without hiding anything. "only 70/30?" Shi Jian asked, still with the same scary face. Zhu Que grimaced "It''s the best we can do with our heavenly aura. Mortals be cultivators is the hardest thing to do after all. The body needs to be changed so it can hold aura." "..You said that to be cultivator, one must have a near death experience and the process is so painful, right?" Grandpa Wu, who had been silent the entire time finally asked Zhu Que. "Yes." Zhu Que answered, looking puzzled. She didn''t understand why the old man asked that question but her confusion was answered when Grandpa Wu turned his gaze to Ming Yue and asked her a question. "Have you gone through a near death experience, Little Yue?" The entire room became still. Realizing the fact, Lin Zhao and Lin Shao whipped their gazes to Ming Yue abruptly. They were focusing on bing cultivators that they failed to realize such fact. Ming Yue gave a sad smile. "I am different.." she paused before continuing, "I didn''t undergo such trial because.. I am a reincarnated person.." Once again silence returned to the room and Fan Mei was the one who broke it. "Reincarnated.. as in.." Ming Yue''s sad smile became more visible, "Yes.. I died once.." The moment Ming Yue brought all the Wu family to Tianshang De Kongjian, she had decided to bare it all. They were the first people who gave her warmth, love and care. It would be rude and disrespectful if she kept this matter a secret. She wanted them to know who she really was and leave it to them whether they could ept her or not. If they couldn''t ept her then Ming Yue would not have any regret, she would leave without turning back. Ming Yue told them everything. How she lived in the past, how she died and how she returned to the past. Hearing Ming Yue''s story, the Wu family''s eyes became red. Lin Zhao and Fan Mei shed tears and Lin Shao clenched his fists hard. "So that''s the reason why you said to that man ''This is where we part''?" Lin Shao asked, his tone was low and filled with rage. "That Man? Who are you talking about?" Grandpa Wu frowned while his eyes were still red. "This morning we met a man, his name is.. Long.. ah! Long Zhi Qiang!" Lin Zhao exined, "He came to Sister Yue, acted like he knew her and.." Lin Zhao nced at Ming Yue, wondering whether she should continue exining or letting Ming Yue took over. "He was the man I sacrificed my life for in the previous life. I foolishly loved him so much even though he gave me nothing but cold treatment." Ming Yue said with a heartbreaking smile. "Looks like he reincarnated as well but I don''t want to have anything to do with him anymore. In myst breath, I vowed not to fall in love with him for the second time. I gave my life to save him in the previous life, in this life I want to live for myself." Grandpa Wu, Shi Jian and Fan Mei were rendered speechless. They could only imagine how much heartache this little girl bore in her heart to make such vow in herst breath. As for Grandpa Wu, he finally knew the reason why Ming Yue had that cold, lonely and deste eyes. Having to live such cruel and torturous life, anyone would be brokenhearted. The heaven truly gave this little girl another chance to live her life. His mind now focused on the man who Ming Yue had sacrificed her life for in her past life. Grandpa Wu made a mental note to look for the manter, he knew the man''s name so it wouldn''t be too hard to search any information about the man. Grandpa Wu wanted to meet this Long Zhi Qiang face to face. He wanted the man to let Ming Yue go so she could live her life. This time with Wu family to care and give her all the love she deserved. ''That man had his chance to love Little Yue and he blew it.'' ''Now.. he won''t have that chance again..'' Grandpa Wu mused those thought in his mind. Next Plan Confirmed! Next n Confirmed! (A/N : The melody is called ''Shining Moon'', You can find it in Youtube if you want to hear it. Just type, Shining Moon Guzheng. It really is a beautiful melody~ ''£¤("?¨¤?o¡ä `"?¨¤?o)?? ) At the center of a pavilion inside a courtyard of a small pce, a melody of Guzheng could be heard. A woman with slender fingers and skin as white as jade yed a guzheng, her fingers beautifully danced along the strings while closing her eyes. She clearly enjoyed every tune her fingers made, drowning her mind in the melody she created. At the pavilion that surrounded by pond and moonflowers, the woman yed the guzheng as if she didn''t have a care about the world. However, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere. A man whose face was divinely handsome, truly out of the world. His golden colored eyes stared at the woman who kept ying, still didn''t open her eyes. The man just stood there, with one hand behind his back, his ears were enjoying the melody while his eyes were enjoying the woman ethereal face. "I don''t think I have invited anyone to enjoy my y." The woman spoke while her fingers kept dancing with the strings. A mirth shed in the man''s cold eyes, "I have invited myself." He said, didn''t take a single step C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. forward. "Oh? May I know how do I receive the honor?" The woman asked, still ying and added more sentence. "After all, not everyone receive the honor of Ghost King, the supreme Lord of Demon Realm, visiting them UNINVITED.., right Lord Zhong Kui?" Zhong Kui''s mouth curled upward, the mirth in his golden eyes deepened hearing the woman''s rude remark. Especially when she said the word ''Uninvited'', somehow it showed how she didn''t wee him in this small pce. Actually it was a refreshing reaction for Zhong Kui, he saw many beauties acted like they didn''t care but coquettishly sending signals, hoping to get his attention. Zhong Kui disdained such women, especially the ones who tantly showing their love and desire to climb his bed. However this woman before him was different, she really didn''t care for him. It amused him, picking up his interest. Especially rumors that were circting about this woman. ygirl.. Cold hearted.. Ruthless.. Arrogant.. Alluring.. Zhong Kui had heard many but one thing caught his interest. Ethereal Divine Beauty.. He wanted to see what kind of beauty those men talked about and seeing her now, Zhong Kui admitted, he had never seen such beauty in his long life. The mark on the middle of her forehead made the woman more divine. It as if she was truly a goddess! "What a beautiful melody." After a long silence drowning in his own reverie, Zhong Kui finally spoke as he ignored her rude remark. "May This Lord know what melody is this?" "Shining Moon." The woman answered, still not opening her eyes, her fingers tapped against the strings as the melody became slightly faster. "Why did youe here, Ghost King?" The woman asked. The man narrowed his eyes as he shamelessly answered, "To meet you, Lady Chang''e. The owner of Moonlight Pce." "And why did you want to meet me, Ghost King?" The woman coldly asked. Her icy tone amused Zhong Kui as he opened his mouth and said.. "I am here to court you." The woman''s fingers stopped abruptly as she slowly opened her eyes. It was cold, no emotion could be seen in those ck jade eyes and a ruthless smile appeared on her beautiful face as she opened her sweet looking mouth, "Then you are courting death right now." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ming Yue opened her eyes abruptly with a soft gasped. Her eyes stared at the ceiling of her chamber in Moon Pce. Adjusting her breath, Ming Yue recalled the dream she had. The man who had such divine beauty, he really fit Chang''e, but.. Why did she have a dream of Chang''e''s past? Was it because she was the new owner of Tianshang De Kongjian now? "Master." Zhu Que''s voice could be heard from outside the door. "Yes?" Ming Yue answered as she stood up from the bed. "Lin Zhao texted me to ask you whether you are going to have breakfast with the family or not." Zhu Que said. The four beasts had already mastered ''The Way Of Smartphone''. It gave Ming Yue a surprise to see how well they learned and adapted to modern era. Now they even could send text and made a phone call. Lin Zhao and Lin Shao even made a group WeChat called ''Heaven Realm Family''. Ming Yue had ck lines over her head when she knew about it. The name sounded cliche to her. "Tell her I will have breakfast with the family." Ming Yue said. "Yes, Master." Zhu Que said and left. Ming Yue recalled the conversation the twins had with the parents about bing cultivators. Finally their parents gave in and their decision was approved by Grandpa Wu. At first Ming Yue had braced herself for insults and scoldings from WU family when the twins stubbornly saying that they still wanted to be cultivators. After all, if they didn''t meet her then they wouldn''t know some mystery of the world. Yet.. they didn''t persecute her nor their eyes showed contempt or disdain. Even when Ming Yue apologized, they didn''t ept it and said there was nothing she should apologize for. Even Grandpa Wu said it was a blessing of heaven that they were fated to meet her. In that matter Ming Yue agreed inside, it was truly a blessing of heaven to meet with this family. Ming Yue left Tianshang De Kongjian and returned to her room. After refreshing herself, Ming Yue headed to the dining room. Her family was already there, she greeted them with smile and breakfast feast began. "Yue''er, do you have any n today?" Fan Mei asked. "Yes, Mother. I have to go to visit a certain ce." Ming Yue said and made a knowing nce at the twins. The twins understood and started changing the subject. "Sister Yue, can we go to Tianshang De Kongjian to train today?" Lin Shao asked. "Me and Sister Zhao want to start to train early." Lin Zhao nodded, "Yes. I want to start training immediately." "Don''t be too rush in training." Grandpa Wu warned the twins, "Every step makes a footprint." [1] "Yes, Grandfather." The twins answered in synch. Ming Yue smiled at how her family interacted with each other. Family.. the word sent warmth to Ming Yue''s heart. She has a family now. Her smile faded slightly when her thought drifted to Red Tiger Gang. To protect her family, she needed to settle Uncle Chu''s matter as soon as possible. She needed to visit their main turf and met the Big Boss. Today.. would be the day she settled that matter.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [**1]. Every step makes a footprint : Work steadily and make a solid progress Those who wants to see the characters can visit my discord link** Bai Zhangs Invitation Bai Zhang''s Invitation As Ming Yue walked through the front door, a voice called out to her. "Little Yue." Grandpa Wu caught up to her, "I don''t know where you are going to go but be careful." Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Ming Yue curled up her smile, knowing the meaning behind her grandfather''s words. Looked like she couldn''t hide anything from him. "I just want to have a talk but if the other party doesn''t want to listen then.. it can''t be helped." Ming Yue shrugged, looking helpless. Grandpa Wu chuckled seeing the attitude of his new granddaughter. She had the attitude of an adult despite being 15 years old and it was because her soul was not the soul of 15 years old girl. "Don''t forget to bring along your guardians." He reminded, hoping that she didn''t settle this on her own. "And if there is something wrong, this grandpa will help you." Grandpa Wu said and touched her head gently. Ming Yue smiled brightly, like a beautiful moon shone in the dark sky. "Thank you, Grandfather." "Mm." Grandpa Wu replied with a gentle hum before he watched Ming Yue''s back as she walked to gate. A helpless sigh escaped his lips as he watched Ming Yue disappeared beyond the gate. How he wanted this little girl to live a normal life but from the moment he knew about her reincarnation and her power, Grandpa Wu understood that heaven had another n for the girl. He just hoped that heaven wasn''t so cruel to reincarnate her only to give her another harsh life. ...----------------... Ming Yue headed to bus station but on the way, two ck vans stopped abruptly and group of thugs came out of it. They blocked the path Ming Yue was taking and from among them, a man stepped forward. Ming Yue recognized him as the leader who visited Uncle Chu''s restaurant yesterday. Yes.. that man was An Wu. "What do you want? Attacking me on broad daylight?" Ming Yue asked coldly, a mocking smile appeared on her beautiful face. An Wu narrowed his eyes, staring at the little girl in front of him. Was it just him or he felt that the little girl''s personality was slightly changed and her beauty increased? No.. it was probably his imagination. The truth was, what An Wu felt was right on the mark. Every time Ming Yue dreamt of Chang''e past, the fragment of her soul as Chang''e and her memories returned bit by bit. Slowly but sure, it would became aplete picture of a Moon Goddess Chang''e. However the current Ming Yue didn''t realize this at all. "The head branch of Red Tiger wants to meet with you, little girl." An Wu said in stiff tone. "Oh?" Ming Yue responded with an arched brow as she tilted her head, amusement could be seen on her ck jade eyes. An Wu gritted his teeth hard as he saw how arrogant the little girl responded. "I assume it''s thanks to you that I have the honor to receive this invitation?" Ming Yue asked. People started to look at them curiously, there were people started to call the police as they thought Ming Yue was going to be kidnapped and attacked. Ming Yue noticed that people began to gather, she sighed softly and answered to the leader. "Let''s go, I wille with you." Ming Yue said and walked toward the van and entered it nonchntly. The group of thugs had their jaws dropped, staring at the beauty who just made herself at home in their van as if she owned it. Was this really a girl?! How could shee along with gangsters just like that?! She should have tried to defend herself by asking for help or crying! Ming Yue sat with crossed legs and both arms crossed on top of it, she stared at the group of men arrogantly as if they were just foolish monkeys, "Aren''t you alling? what are you all standing there like stupid monkeys for?" Hearing Ming Yue''s words, all the men had only one thought in their minds. WHAT''S WITH THIS GREAT AUNT ATTITUDE?! An Wu coughed awkwardly and entered the van, sitting next to Ming Yue. "Let''s go." He ordered and the thugs came along into the van. Soon it drove away from the street. Along the way, An Wu who was sitting next to Ming Yue, noticed the faint sweet fragrance that came from her. Not only An Wu, the thugs who joined in one van with Ming Yue noticed it. They kept ncing at Ming Yue, feeling that their throat became so dry, filled with thirst. Ming Yue was oblivious about the sweet fragrance that came out of her body but she wasn''t oblivious to their stare. While closing her eyes, a cold smile formed on her face as she opened her mouth and spoke, "Keep staring and I will gouge all of your eyes out, right here.. right now." A chilly murderous aura spread to the entire van, sending tremor of fear to anyone who felt it. The men swallowed an air once as they felt the chilly murderous auraing from the little girl. They finally realized that the little girl was not simple. Hell, she was the most dangerous person here instead of them! An Wu closed his eyes, concentrating his mind as he tried to ignore the sweet fragrance that could seduce any sane men. Seriously, this little girl was truly like a demoness, her fragrance alone could lure any men and made them do her bidding. The silence inside that van became eerie and suffocating as it drove closer to the small office building in D.3 district. Ming Yue whose eyes still closed, her consciousness called out to Qing Long and Bai Hu and spoke to their minds. "Qing Long, Bai Hu.. get ready for the show." Ming Yue spoke in her mind and soon, both beasts voices echoed in hers. "Yes, Master!" The showdown would began the moment Ming Yue stepped out of the van. However Bai Zhang didn''t know that he had invited cmity to his small office. It was something he regretted but.. there was no medicine for regret, wasn''t it? The Showdown! The Showdown! Ming Yue stared at the small office building located in D.3 district in silence. Her face showed indifference, as if the small building was nothing but sand castle in her eyes. The men stood at the sideline, their eyes nervously paid attention to the little girl''s expression. Probably they wanted to know what the girl would do or wanted to see her reaction other than indifference. However what they didn''t know was that what Ming Yue saw was not just the building. There were many miserable ghosts surrounding the building, it as if the ce was a crime scene. ALL of the ghost were female and judging by their ghostly state, they died because of sexual assault. "Heh." Ming Yue suddenly let out a snicker, a ruthless smile slowly, slooooowly appeared on her face, creating the very picture of an Ice Demoness. The men trembled on their feet because of fear, one of them even wet his pants because of the cold aura Ming Yue brought out from within her. "It reeks with darkness.." Ming Yue muttered softly and said the words that made all the men there, included An Wu, had their hearts sank to the bottom of abyss. "Your so called ''Branch Head''.. How many girls he had r*ped and killed so far? These ghosts'' resentment are so big it can fill the entire building." The men'' faces became pale and the way An Wu stared at Ming Yue, was as if she was a monster. Ghosts she said?! She really did say ghosts! More over she even asked how many girls their boss had raped so far! How did she know?! Was it because she saw these ghosts?! The trembles that those men had grew as Ming Yue passed them by, with a very slow step. She stopped in front of one of the men and spoke without staring at the man''s pale face. "Do you know a girl wearing dark blue school zer and ck square decorated skirt?" Ming Yue asked softly with an amused smile, "She is right beside you, her resentment is quite big." The man turned his head abruptly to his side but he saw nothing. "No.. it can''t be.." The man was stuttering. That was the start of ''Hellish Trial'' that Ming Yue gave to those thuggish men. It as if she was sent by King Yama to announce the horrible deeds they had done to innocent people. It sent terror to those men, some of them even knelt while holding their head and screaming in fear. Some even begged for forgiveness, however.. the ghosts would not forgive them. Their innocent lives had been robbed unfairly, who would forgive these thugs. An Wu didn''t know what to do nor say, what he knew that the moment Ming Yue stepped out of the van, their fate had been sealed. Cursed child.. Truly a fitting name for this little girl.. As Ming Yue arrived at the front door and stopped before entering. "If you think by begging for forgiveness those relentless ghosts will forgive you, that is just your wishful thinking." She said and looked at them from over her shoulder. "..The bad Karma you have been collecting up till now.. you will pay it soon." With that Ming Yue entered the small three floors building, leaving the men in fear of the retribution for what they had done so far. Taking the stairs, finally Ming Yue arrived at the third floor. An Wu who had been leading Ming Yue with stiff expression, knocked on the door. "Boss, I have brought the.. girl." An Wu said, almost wanted to say ''Demoness'' instead of girl. "Enter." A voice sounded cool and calm could be heard from inside. The door was opened, revealing a man in histe twenties, ck short hair, sharp hazel eyes and quite the handsome face. The man could be called charming if his lecherous eyes didn''t try to undress Ming Yue the moment she entered the office, just like sick pervert old man. Ming Yue was truly disgusted by this kind of man. If Ming Yue was disgusted by Bai Zhang, it was different for him. The moment Ming Yue entered the office, her beauty had captivated him. Never in his life up till now he had seen such ethereal beauty, like she was out of this world. "Leave us alone, put all men stand by and guard the whole building." Bai Zhang said, his eyes never left Ming Yue''s face. An Wu nced at Ming Yue''s indifferent expression before leaving the office. Now, Ming Yue was alone with Bai Zhang in this small office of his. There was silence before Ming Yue''s cold tone tore it apart. "Pleasure to meet you, Sir. My name is Ming Yue and I am here to discuss about Chu Hui Restaurant''s debt." Ming Yue started the conversation and Bai Zhang couldn''t help but impressed by this little girl. She looked mature despite her young age, not to mention elegant. This girl truly his favorite type of woman. "My name is Bai Zhang, why don''t you call me Brother Zhang and I call you Yue''er, hmm?" He offered with his charming smile. "I refuse, Mr. Bai. We are not close enough for that." Ming Yue said arrogantly, Bai Zhang''s charming smile faltered instantly. "I want to ask why Red Tiger Gang doubled the interest, that''s not part of the agreement." Bai Zhang''s eyes shed a glint of slyness before answering, "Why can''t I? I am the Branch Head, I can do whatever I want! It''s those people''s fault for being stupid to trust agreement with a gangster." "I see.. then I assume your BIG BOSS doesn''t know about this?" Ming Yue tried to test the water, if the Big Boss of Red Tiger didn''t know about this matter then she still had a chance to talk things peacefully but if the Big Boss knew.. Ming Yue nned to erase Red Tiger Gang from the face of the earth. Bai Zhang''s eyes narrowed dangerously, he didn''t say anything which proved that the Big Boss didn''t know what he was doing. Ming Yue''s mouth curled up into a smirk, "Bingo.. then I only have to go to the Big Boss to talk about this." Ming Yue turned around but Bai Zhang grabbed her wrist to stop her from walking out. "You think I will let you do that?" He asked in low dangerous tone, "See if you can still go to the Big Boss once I am through tasting your body!" Bai Zhang was about to pull Ming Yue to the nearest sofa but Ming Yue used her leg to kick the man from the sideways, making his one leg bent and dropped to the floor. Bai Zhang screamed in pain as his body dropped sideways, holding his one leg. His mind recalled the warning An Wu gave him, he said that the little girl could do martial arts. Bai Zhang realized that he was careless for ignoring An Wu''s warning. "Qing Long, Bai Hu.. clean up the rest of them." Ming Yue spoke, Bai Zhang was confused, wondering who she was talking to. But his eyes widened in horror when two tall men suddenly appeared by the little girl''s side. How could it be?! How could these two men appeared out of thin air?! "What about this trash, Master?" Qing Long asked, his yellow eyes stared Bai Zhang as if he was nothing but maggot. Not even worth living. "Leave this guy to me." Ming Yue said.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. "Very well." Qing Long said and left the office with Bai Hu. "..Cursed child.." Bai Zhang muttered softly, Ming Yue who heard him let out a ruthless smile. She kicked Bai Zhang leg as it spread open and stomped on his jewels hard. Bai Zhang roared in pain as his body jerked slightly upward. "Tell me, how is it feel to r*pe your own sister?" Ming Yue asked as her ruthless smile grew deeper "So much that it led her to slit her own wrist" Her eyes looked at the ghost of a girl who was barely 17 years old. Her body floated next to Bai Zhang, her eyes filled with resentment and from her wrist, Ming Yue noticed a big cut. The reason why she knew that the girl was Bai Zhang''s sister was because she had slightly simr face with him. This man was really a scum among scums. Even his sister became his prey. Ming Yue pressed the guy''s jewel harder and Bai Zhang could only screamed louder in agony. In his mind, Bai Zhang truly regretted it.. If only he didn''t invite this girl here.. If only he killed her instead of wanting to taste her body.. But.. there was no medicine for regrets.. "I wonder what I should do with you.. Should I let these ghosts devour your soul and take you to hell with them?" Ming Yue asked while tilting her head. "Or should I cripple you so you can''t harm more innocent girls?" A voice came from the door, it was slightly deep and cool. It sounded familiar to her ears. "No, I shall take care of him. After all, I am the Big Boss of Red Tiger. It''s my responsibility." Lifting her feet of the scum''s jewel, Ming Yue turned around and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw who stood near the door. "It''s YOU?!" Red Tigers Big Boss Red Tiger''s Big Boss "No, I shall take care of him. After all, I am the Big Boss of Red Tiger. It''s my responsibility." Lifting her feet of the scum''s jewel, Ming Yue turned around and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw who stood near the door. The person she saw was not what she expected to be. "It''s YOU?!" Ming Yue uttered her surprise as she saw the man standing wearing a ck suit with one hand inside his pocket. She could see Qing Long and Bai Hu were behind that man, watching the man with wary on their eyes and a muscr man who stood not far from the so called Big Boss. That man was none other than her math teacher, Mo Liu!! "Teacher Mo? You are the leader of Red Tiger Gang?" Ming Yue asked as she stared at the handsome man whose eyes were staring at her. Mirth could be seen in the depth of those dark brown eyes and a soft cool smile appeared on his face. "Well this is quite a surprise for both of us. I don''t think the little girl in the report was ''The Cursed Child'' of D city." Mo Liu spoke but as he was about to take one step forward, Qing Long and Bai Hu grabbed his shoulders from behind, forbidding him toe closer to Ming Yue. The muscr man wanted to take a gun from his coat but Mo Liu raised his hand "It''s okay." Ming Yue turned her gaze to Qing Long and Bai Hu, "You both can wait outside." "But Master.." Qing Long wanted to refute. He didn''t want hisdy to be with this man alone. "It''s okay, I will be fine." Ming Yue gave a reassuring smile, seeing that smile Qing Long gave in. "Listen human, if you do something to our master.. I shall rip you to pieces!" Bai Hu growled in low tone before leaving the room with Qing Long. The muscr man followed along after Mo Liu gave him a firm nod. Now that there were only two of them and one man in pain lying on the floor, silence filled the room. Both Ming Yue and Mo Liu were having a staring contest, none of them broke the tense atmosphere yet the one who broke it was Bai Zhang as he groaned in pain. "Who are those two men?" Mo Liu asked in casual tone as if he was talking about the weather. "My guardians." Ming Yue replied using the same casual tone. Mo Liu couldn''t help but smiling seeing the little girl acted unlike her age. She replied his question using the same tone he used. Taking few steps forward toward her, Mo Liu asked her more questions. "Guardians, huh? They refer me as human though?" Mo Liu stopped right in front of Ming Yue, staring at the little girl curiously "It as if they are not humans." Ming Yue only gave him a smile full of mystery. Mo Liu who saw that smile, had his heart string tugged with interest. This little girl called Ming Yue, he had paid attention to her behavior at school. A gloomy and depressing girl that no one wanted to get close with, more over the rumors about her being a cursed child, disaster child, etc who was abandoned by her own parents, made everyone alienated her even further. However now it was different. Since when she had changed? two days ago? Right, now that Mo Liu recalled the past days, he had noticed her change after she returned from health room. The little girl who couldn''t meet people eyes, calmly answered Mo Liu when he inquired about her health. Yes, now this girl could calmly meet his sharp gaze and Mo Liu couldn''t help but noticing her beauty and the sweet fragrance that came from her. Mo Liu''s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling that his throat became dry. "So, Mr. Mo.." Ming Yue''s voice pulled Mo Liu from his daze, "I want to discuss about the debt Chu Hui Restaurant owes. It seems this SCUM, goes against the agreement and doubles the interest. I want to pay the rest using the original interest." Ming Yue''s business like attitude amused Mo Liu as he gave his answer, "No need." His refusal made Ming Yue looked at him with one brow arched, clearly being suspicious. "You don''t have to pay the rest, take it as an apology to Chu Hui Restaurant for myck of management." Mo Liu exined "I refuse. I n to invest and make Chu Hui Restaurant big and I don''t want to Chu Hui Restaurant owing a favor to Red Tiger." Ming Yue refused coldly. "Then take it as a friendly gift for the future owner of Chu Hui Restaurant. I, Mo Liu, The Leader of Red Tiger wants to have a friendly rtionship with you. After all, someone who has guardians that can wipe out 30 guys so easily, must be not a simple person." Mo Liu lifted his other free hand and offered to shake hand with Ming Yue. "Deal?" He asked, tilting his head to the side slightly. Ming Yue stared at him for a while, contemting whether she should be friendly with a gangster or not. Ming Yue didn''t have great ambition, she just wanted to live her life freely and peacefully but there might be times she needed connections and having connection with Red Tiger might be useful in the future. So Ming Yue lifted her hand and shook Mo Liu''s hand. "Deal." She answered but Mo Liu pulled her closer, catching Ming Yue off guard. "Good, then please keep my secret as I keep yours, Little moon." He whispered softly to Ming Yue''s ear. Ming Yue freed her hand and pushed Mo Liu with a scowl on her face. "Mr. Mo, please don''t be too close to me." Ming Yue said, clearly annoyed that he caught her off guard. Mo Liu chuckled, "Don''t call me, Mr. Mo. I called you ''Little Moon'' so call me Brother Mo, hm?" He smiled at Ming Yue. Ming Yue frowned slightly seeing Mo Liu''s smile. This man who was cold and strict at school, never showed his smile now smiling like coolly like that. It was an eye opener. ''People DO have other faces sometimes, huh?'' Ming Yue mused inside. "Little Moon?" Mo Liu called out to her when he saw she was in a daze. Being pulled out of her reverie, Ming Yue gave a small smile. "Okay, Brother Mo." she finally answered then turned to see Bai Zhang who was lying on the floor. "About this scum.." "Leave it to me, I''ll take care of him." Mo Liu said but he frowned when Ming Yue turned her gaze to empty spot in that room. "This man will be taken care of. I know that you all can''t get your vengeance with your own hands, but I think you should let go of the resentment and return to reincarnation realm." Ming Yue said. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Mo Liu stiffened as he watched Ming Yue speaking to that empty spot. The rumor about Ming Yue being a cursed child who could see ghosts yed in his mind. It turned out to be true.. and these ghosts were here in this very room?! Somehow Mo Liu felt goosebumps all over his body. A tender smile appeared on Ming Yue''s face as she watched the ghosts departed to next realm one by one after expressing their gratitude to Ming Yue, the air that was thick with despair and resentment slowly became clear. "Be free. May heaven blesses you with good life in the next reincarnation." She whispered while her head lifted up, staring those ghosts turned into particles of light, flying toward the sky. Mo Liu who watched from the side, couldn''t help but be captivated by Ming Yue''s tender smile. Judging from her words, it seemed the ''Ghosts'' were gone and he admitted that the surrounding air felt lighter. Staring at the little girl, Mo Liu had one thought. This girl was special.. The tender atmosphere soon disappeared when Ming Yue retained her coldness, turning around and moved her feet towards the door. "My business here is done." Ming Yue said as she reached the door knob and paused before turning around slightly, "See you tomorrow at school, Bro.ther.Mo~" Ming Yue shot him a yful smile before leaving the office. It took a while before Mo Liu reacted to Ming Yue yful remark. He chuckled and shook his head, "Cheeky Little Moon." he murmured softly with a tone filled with adoration. Looked like he gained a cute and cheeky little sister. The Bet The Bet The business with Red Tiger Gang finished without any major event. Well.. the only major event happened was the destruction of Bai Zhang''s family jewels. Aaaand the clean up of certain trashes... Seriously, even the author cringed when writing that jewels'' destruction part. The day was spent with Ming Yue went to Chu Hui Restaurant to meet Uncle Chu. She informed the old man that his debt was erased by Red Tiger Gang and she also expressed her desire to invest on the restaurant. Ming Yue wanted Uncle Chu to be the one who managed the restaurant and taught the new cooks instead. Uncle Chu of course agreed with the investment. The reason was of course because he trusted Ming Yue and already thought of her as his own daughter. Ming Yue left Chu Hui Restaurant after discussing the details of shares, employees and the ce renovation. She returned to the Wu house to report it to her grandfather and went to Tianshang De Kongjian with Bai Hu and Qing Long to see how the twins training. Due to getting approval to be cultivators, they had to built up their strength first before underwent the ''The Trial of Nine Tribtions''. As the day passed, Monday came and it brought a huge trouble for Ming Yue. The moment she came to school, the students looked at her with the look of disdain and disgust. At first she was confused but after hearing the whispers of the students around, Ming Yue understood. "What a slut, she went into an expensive looking car and an old man was inside!" "What?! Don''t tell she.." "Well of course it''s what you think. She spread her legs for an old man!" Hearing those whispers, Ming Yue couldn''t contain her anger any longer. She let out her internal energy and window along the hallway where she walked on, exploded to pieces one by one. Screams of fear and pain filled the hallway, some students squatted while holding their heads, some ran towards the nearest ssroom while the gossip students fell to the ground, they got cutting wounds from the exploded sses. Ming Yue who stood with her back facing them, turned around as she showed her cold ruthless smile. The hallway was in a mess but step by step, Ming Yue moved towards the gossip students. It as if the time slowed down for the gossip students as they watched Ming Yue took each steps firmly, headed toward them. It was like they saw was an Ice Demoness came down to devour their souls, the sight alone was enough for them to hold their breath in fear. "Don''t talk as if you know everything." Ming Yue stared down at them coldly, "Now tell me, who is the one spreading the gossip?" She asked, releasing her murderous aura slightly. That small amount already enough to scare the gossip students to death. They opened and closed their mouths for a few times, trying to talk but no words coulde out. "NA.ME." Ming Yue increased the amount of murderous aura she was releasing as she red down on them. The eyes Ming Yue used right now just like Chang''e when she was looking down on mortals who dared to defy her. The coldness inside those ck jade of hers could freeze the air in an instant. No one dared toe and helped the gossip students, they were too afraid of the dangerous air that was radiating from Ming Yue''s body. "Stop it, Ming Yue!" A girl voice shouted, "Don''t you feel ashamed threatening others just because they knew about your ''indecent'' action?!" C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. The hallway was stilled, eerie silence crept in filling the ce with dread. Ming Yue''s head turned slightly, her ck jade eyes slowly moved as it stared at the girl from the corner of her eyes. Yes, the girl was none other than Xiao Yin. She was the one who saw Ming Yue entered Grandpa Wu''s car and the one who spread the gossip about Ming Yue indecent action with an old man. "So it''s you.." Ming Yue''s guess hit right on the nail as she saw Xiao Yin''s face became pale. A cold smirk filled with disgust appeared on her face. "You said I have been doing something ''Indecent''?" "Well aren''t you? I saw you entered an old man''s expensive car at night!" Xiao Yin said loudly with an arrogant smile. "Student Ming Yue." Principal Gong came, staring at Ming Yue coldly. "Come to the principal office now." "Yes, Sir but before that.." Ming Yue returned her gaze back at Xiao Yin, "I have to make a deal with the slut who had been spreading false rumor." "You..! Who did you call, Slut?!" Xiao Yin raged out. "Of course YOU. Now then Slutty Xiao Yin, let''s make a bet. If the rumor about me is proven to be true then I allow you to do anything to me." Ming Yue said with a daring smile, "BUT.." Ming Yue paused as her smile disappeared instantly. "If the rumor is wrong, then I will cripple you half to death. Deal?" "Student Ming Yue, that''s--" Principal Gong wanted to intervene but Xiao Yin cut his words with hers. "Deal! All of the people here is the witness!" Xiao Yin said confidently, she acted as if she knew that she was right. "Good. Don''t you dare backing out." Ming Yue said as she left with Principal Gong, heading to his office. An evil smirk appeared on her face as her eyes narrowed slightly. A dangerous glint shed on those cold ck eyes as Ming Yue mused inside. ''A fool says what she knows and a wise one knows what she says'' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile.. Somewhere in Q City.. A young girl was sitting on the stone floor at the rooftop of a certain high school. She had simr face with Ming Yue but she didn''t have the beauty Ming Yue had. Her face was delicate and could be called cute, her eyes were ck and she had a ck long hair that only reached to her shoulders unlike Ming Yue whose hair reached to her waist. The girl stared at the gloomy grey sky, her eyes filled with sadness. "The wheel of fate starts to spin.. and HER memories in me start to disappear one by one, returning to the original owner." the girl muttered the words softly. "If all of HER memories had gone from me, will I still be.. Me..?" The girl let out a bitter smile, "Or Am I just a container of HER memories and part of her soul.." The girl closed her eyes, tears flowing down her pale cheeks. "..Will I have to die to make HER soul
