Chapter 23 You Are Mine, Forever Mine

  Zhuge Mingyue's entire body was in unbearable pain, and she collapsed to the ground.

  "Master, what's wrong with you? Don't die! After all these years, someone has finally summoned me. If you die, no one will summon me again, Master... don't die!" The parrot wailed loudly. Meanwhile, the thorny bird beside him was also anxious, flapping its wings and circling around Zhuge Mingyue's head, but unable to do anything.

  "It hurts..." Zuge Mingyue weakly spat out two words. As soon as the words fell, a small popping sound was heard, and the blood vessels in her arm suddenly ruptured, with fresh blood quickly gushing out and staining her sleeve red.

  "Ah! Master!" The parrot saw the situation and hastily recited an incantation, a white light shot out from his body and shone on Zhuge Mingyue's body. The wounds on Zhuge Mingyue's body miraculously healed at this moment.

  "You... didn't you say that your healing technique is ineffective on humans?" Zhuge Mingyue asked with difficulty. The wound had healed, but her entire body was still in severe pain, and the bleeding hadn't stopped yet.

  "It's ineffective on humans." The parrot was stunned, actually he just held a dead horse as a living doctor to try it out, didn't expect it to really work.

  "What are you talking about? You think I'm not human?" Zhuge Mingyue's mouth twitched in pain.

  "Perhaps it's only useful for the master." The parrot thought for a moment and said.

  "I'm going to die from the pain! What kind of demonic pet is sealed inside here?!" Zhuge Mingyue was in so much pain that she wanted to roll around on the ground. Had the Blood Oath Alliance's backlash occurred? Just as she finished speaking, another crackling sound came from her body, and her blood vessels burst again. The parrot hurriedly began chanting a spell to treat Zhuge Mingyue once more.

  Like this back and forth for a long time, Zhuge Mingyue was already on her last breath.

  "Master, no, master, don't die!" The parrot's bright crest had drooped and its voice was hoarse, but it continued to chant the healing spell for Zhuge Mingyue. The thorny bird stood guard beside them, anxious as well.

  Zhuge Mingyue's words were stuck in her throat, her consciousness was struggling with a powerful opposing consciousness. The other side was resisting, but she wouldn't budge! At this point, if she gave in even slightly, not only would all her efforts be for naught, but she would also lose her life.

  Nine deaths and one life!

  After an unknown period of time, finally, that strong consciousness gradually calmed down.

  The Blood Oath is now formed!

  Zhuge Mingyue slowly sat up, took a light and long breath, and leaned against the tree.

  "Master, are you alright?" The parrot cried out in surprise.

  "I'm fine now, thank you, Shuai. If it wasn't for you this time, I would have been done for." Zhuge Mingyue said with a lingering fear as she looked at her clothes that were almost stained red. If not for Fei Ou, she would have bled to death and there wouldn't even be any need to talk about the Blood Oath.

  "It's nothing." The parrot heard Zhuge Mingyue call him handsome, and he proudly puffed out his chest, but then shook his head and said, "I'm dizzy, I'll go back and rest for a while."

  Zhuge Mingyue naturally knew the difficulties of Fei Yu, nodded and called it back. The thorny bird flew up and stopped on Zhuge Mingyue's shoulder, gently pecking at Zhuge Mingyue's face, as if apologizing. It didn't expect things to be so dangerous either.

  "I'm fine now." Zhuge Mingyue smiled and stroked the thorny bird's head. The thorny bird chirped happily a few times. Zhuge Mingyue thought for a moment, and decided to summon his own contracted demon pet first to see what kind of demon it was.

  Zhuge Mingyue recalled the previous tongue-twisting incantation.

  A white mist gradually appeared before his eyes, as if something was in the mist, but it couldn't be seen clearly.

  "Who... awakened me?" A distant yet majestic voice rose lowly.

  "It's me." Zhuge Mingyue looked at the white mist in front of her and replied very calmly. However, her mind had already turned a hundred times over. A demonic pet that could speak human language was what kind of powerful demonic pet! Parrots speaking wasn't strange, but generally, demonic pets couldn't speak human language.

  "You awakened me... Blood Oath? How is that possible!" Unexpectedly, just as Zhuge Mingyue finished speaking, the demon pet let out a roar, "Insignificant human, you actually dare to sign a Blood Oath with me!"

  Hearing such a furious voice, Zhuge Mingyue was somewhat stunned. Listening to this tone, this demon pet seemed extraordinary?

  "Who are you? Why can't I make a blood oath with you?" Zhuge Mingyue tried her best to see the figure in the white mist, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see clearly.

  "I am the Howl. You insignificant human, how dare you make a blood oath with me while I was asleep!" The majestic voice was filled with furious rage.

  What's wrong?!

  Zhuge Mingyue's pupils suddenly constricted, the shock in her heart could no longer be expressed in words, it was actually Houhou!

  Ancient Divine Beast!

  How is it possible?

  Zhuge Mingyue remembered it very clearly. According to historical records, three thousand years ago, a powerful summoner attempted to summon the Hǔ Hǒu but was counterattacked and died instantly. Later, a large country gathered many people's strength, drew an ancient summoning array, and summoned the Hǔ Hǒu, intending to control it. That summoning was successful, but at a terrible cost. The Hǔ Hǒu refused to submit to humans, slaughtered all the summoners present, and then disappeared. The country's national strength was severely damaged, taking hundreds of years to recover. Such a powerful and terrifying ancient divine beast would actually be sleeping here, and would actually be awakened by her and sign a blood oath alliance. For a moment, Zhuge Mingyue herself couldn't believe such a thing.

  "Release the contract at once!" he bellowed, and a fierce gust of cold wind blew in his face, shaking off the thorny bird from Zhuge Mingyue's shoulder.

  With such a domineering aura, Zhuge Mingyue didn't get startled but instead burst out laughing.

  "Is this your attitude towards our master?" Zhuge Mingyue raised an eyebrow, her smile not reaching her eyes as she gazed at the white mist.

  "You think you're worthy of being my master?" The tone was filled with disdain.

  "Shall you and I make a blood oath?" Zhuge Mingyue said slowly.

  He snorted coldly and sneered with a tone full of sarcasm. The meaning of Zhuge Mingyue was simply nonsense.

  "Blood Oath, I didn't think I'd be able to make a Blood Oath either." Zhuge Mingyue continued slowly, "I wonder if the Blood Oath is like the legend says, when the master dies, the demonic pet will also die?"

  The howling stopped instantly.

  "If I am hurt, you are hurt. If I die, you die!" Zhuge Mingyue suddenly pulled out a delicate arrow and ruthlessly inserted it into the back of her own hand. Blood splattered everywhere, but Zhuge Mingyue seemed to feel no pain at all, her face calm, with only a hint of ruthless determination in her eyes.

  The wolf seemed to be in pain and let out a muffled groan, then fell silent.

  "Let me tell you, either we live together or die together! Don't think I'll break the Blood Oath! You are mine, and will forever be mine." Zhuge Mingyue's face remained calm as she pulled out the arrow stuck in her hand, speaking each word with exceptional clarity. The ruthlessness and determination in her eyes made one's heart tremble.

  For a moment, there was complete silence all around.

  Zhuge Mingyue could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

  After a long time, the wolf finally spoke out, its voice no longer having the previous violent rage, but rather much calmer: "If you can't prove that you have the qualifications to be my master, then I will personally end your life, and even if that happens, I will disappear..."

  Zhuge Mingyue let out a sigh of relief in her heart and slowly said only one word: "Good!"

  The white fog disappeared, and the howling also disappeared with it.

  Zhuge Mingyue looked up and gazed at the lush leaves above, her heart finally put down. The next moment, she was extremely excited.

  Roar! The ancient divine beast has become her magical pet!

  This is not a dream, this is a real fact!
