Chapter 1: The Overbearing and Arrogant Zhuge Mingyue

  On a wide street in Cang Feng City, two young men were walking forward with laughter.

  "Are you ready for today's summoning ceremony?" one of the short-haired boys turned and asked another.

  "Of course I'm ready! Today I'll definitely summon a very cool magical pet." Another slightly chubby boy rubbed his fists and palms, full of confidence.

  "Alright, this time you must succeed in summoning to become a novice summoner. What kind of cool magical pet can you summon?" The short-haired youth struck without mercy.

  "This guy's words are really hard to listen to......" The slightly chubby boy was about to make a move to hit the short-haired boy, but suddenly turned his head and exclaimed, "Hey, look, isn't that a chicken coop? It's strange, why isn't his hair in a chicken coop today?"

  "Huh, it really is." The short-haired boy turned his head and looked at the girl in the distance behind them, saying in surprise. If he hadn't seen her signature grey fluffy clothes, he wouldn't have recognized her.

  The "chicken nest head" they were talking about was a girl named Zhuge Mingyue. She was the daughter of the aristocratic Zhuge family in the capital, but for some reason, she ended up in this small town. Although she was said to be from an aristocratic family, everyone knew that her identity was not something to be proud of. Because she was the illegitimate child of the Zhuge family. The Zhuge family had a hundred-year history and was renowned for producing summoners who were famous throughout the land. In such a family, Zhuge Mingyue's existence was a shame. So, she was sent to this small town to study. And her qualifications were not good, introverted, self-abased. She didn't have any friends in school and didn't like to dress herself up. The Zhuge family only hired two servants to take care of her daily life here. Those two servants wouldn't be able to take good care of her. Without anyone to teach or care for her, Zhuge Mingyue went to school every day with a messy head of hair. That's why people gave her the nickname "chicken nest head".

  "Want to make a bet? Today, Ji Wotou can't even summon his magical pet." The slightly chubby young man said with a sneer, taking pleasure in other people's misfortune.

  "Fine, I bet she can't summon it even if she dies." The short-haired boy hummed.

  "Cut, no fun, nothing good to bet on. However, this is the last chance for Ji Wota, right? This is her third time participating?" The slightly chubby boy frowned as he recalled.

  "Yeah. She's not gonna summon a magical pet in this lifetime." The short-haired boy shrugged.

  "It's also, she can summon demonic pets, unless the heavens want to cut her down." The slightly chubby youth said with some disdain, "A hybrid is just a hybrid, and is not the same as those with the authentic bloodline of the Zhuge family..."

  The short-haired youth's face changed, and he was about to remind the slightly chubby youth to be careful, after all, his surname was Zhuge. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a flash before his eyes, and a figure flashed by.

  The short-haired boy stared blankly at the scene in front of him. The "chicken coop head" flew up, three meters away from them, and suddenly stomped his foot to gain momentum, flying up with both feet heavily trampling on the slightly fat boy's face. A huge impact came crashing down, directly kicking the slightly fat boy until his nose bled profusely, thudding to the ground.

  Then, Zhuge Mingyue landed elegantly and turned around, flashing a brilliant smile at the short-haired young man.

  The short-haired boy was stunned for a moment. Is this the usual timid and reserved chicken head? What is this? Even if he poked his eyes out, he wouldn't believe it! A messy head of hair was now neatly combed and hung down her back, revealing her forehead and eyes. Under her smooth forehead, a pair of slender and beautiful eyebrows, below which were sparkling eyes that made one's heart skip a beat. The flying eyebrows between them shone like brilliant sunlight, making it hard to open one's eyes. A small mouth curved upwards slightly, smiling at him.

  "Zhuge, Zhuge Mingyue..." The short-haired young man finally came back to his senses after a long time, muttering out loud.

  Zhuge Mingyue didn't respond to him, but instead squatted down in front of the slightly chubby boy and smiled slyly: "Fatty, what did you just say about me? Repeat it again, okay?"

  "Ah, ah......" The slightly chubby boy looked up and met this bright face, his mind wandered and his nosebleed got even worse, subconsciously honestly answering, "Saying, saying a hybrid is a hybrid..."

  Damn it! The short-haired boy supported his own forehead, feeling like he was about to faint.

  "Oh, I see." Zhuge Mingyue smiled even more radiantly and slowly stood up.

  "You, you're Zhuge Mingyue... I didn't know you were so beautiful..." The slightly chubby boy hadn't realized what he was about to face next, and instead stared blankly at Zhuge Mingyue, muttering to himself.

  "Yes, I am Zhuge Mingyue." Zhuge Mingyue smiled and nodded, but the next moment, his face changed drastically. He fiercely lifted his foot and stomped, "Stomp you to death, you fatso! Let you become a dead fatso! Most hated is when people say I'm a bastard! Stomp you to death!" "Dare to call me a bastard? Go die! Go die! Go die!"

  "Ahhh ahhh ahhh, yah yah yah yah, oooh oooh oooh oooh...!" The slightly chubby boy was trampled and rolled around, then continuously wailed.

  The short-haired boy twitched the corner of his mouth, swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, and subconsciously took two steps back. It's too terrifying, too inhumane! The usually harmless-looking Zhuge Mingyue turned out to be so frightening when he erupted?! And, fatty, do you have to scream so miserably when getting beaten? People who don't know what's going on would think something's wrong with you.

  After trampling the person, Zhuge Mingyue withdrew her foot and looked at the fat man who had already fainted on the ground. She snorted, elegantly adjusted the hair by her ear, turned around, and left.

  The short-haired youth waited until Zhuge Mingyue walked far away before carefully squatting down, stretching out his hand to shake the person on the ground: "Fatty, are you still alive? Are you dead?"

  The fat boy remained silent.

  "Are you dead? If you're dead, I'll go to your house to report the death and buy a coffin." The short-haired young man stretched out his hand and shook the fat boy on the ground vigorously.

  "I'm dead, I'm really dead......I'm dead......" The fatty struggled to get up, looking at the distant back of Zhuge Mingyue, covering his own chest and muttering, "What to do? ZiHao, I'm dead."

  "You must be crazy!" The youth named Xue Zihao slapped a palm on Baozi's head, "Do you still know who you are?"

  "I knew it, I'm Wan Xi Chen. Ah, I'm dead, I'm really dead..." The fat guy named Wan Xi Chen covered his chest and stared blankly at the back of Zhuge Mingyue in front of him, still shouting.

  "You idiot, are you okay? If it's serious, we should go to the hospital first." Xue Zihao asked with some concern.

  "No, I'm fine, hurry up!" Wan Xi Chen rushed forward with a big pig head on his head.

  At this time, Zhuge Mingyue stopped in her tracks. She stood there, sizing up the ancient and simple large gate in front of her. White Feather Academy. This was the only academy in Cangfeng City. She was Zhuge Mingyue, yet not Zhuge Mingyue. Because she wasn't the original Zhuge Mingyue! After that incident, she inexplicably came to this unknown world and inexplicably became the illegitimate daughter of a noble family. The most shocking thing about this world wasn't the people's clothing or the country's political system, but rather the people in this world possessed mystical powers. They could summon magical creatures!

  In this world, there are three mainstream professions for warriors: summoners, swordsmen, and archers. Summoners are the most powerful profession, and everyone aspires to become one. Once you become a powerful summoner, fame, power, and wealth follow. Although there are many summoners, truly powerful ones are rare. To become a summoner, one must have strong spiritual energy, and participation in the summoning ritual is limited to three attempts. If one fails to summon a magical creature even once during the ritual, they will never be able to summon again for the rest of their life.

  Zhuge Mingyue had already participated in two summoning ceremonies before, today was the third time, and also the last chance. If it were the previous Zhuge Mingyue, perhaps she would not be able to summon a magical pet like the previous two times. However, the current her was no longer the previous her.

  Zhuge Ming's face lit up with a faint smile as she stepped through the gates of the academy.

  Wan Xi Chen and Xue Zi Hao panted as they chased after him, also entering the academy's gate.

  At this moment, the square of the college is already bustling with noise and excitement. In the center of the square, there is a huge magic array. The pattern of the array is very complex and was constructed by the principal and several teachers using special materials. Today, the students participating in the summoning ceremony will step into this array to sense their magical companions.

  On the highest platform in the square, the principal and several teachers were already seated there.

  Zhu Ge Mingyue ignored the surprised glances and whispers of the people around her, who were simply discussing how she was different from usual today. Zhu Ge Mingyue was clear that in the past, many people in this college looked down on her, ridiculed her, but didn't dare to be too excessive. They didn't dare bully her openly because... she was a Zhu Ge! Even as an illegitimate daughter, she was still a Zhu Ge!

  Ignoring the whispers around her, she walked directly to the location where today's summoning ceremony would take place.

  Wan Qichen pulled Xue Zihao over to Zhuge Mingyue's side, standing next to her. Zhuge Mingyue gave Wan Qichen a cold glance. Wan Qichen sported a big goofy grin and chuckled.

  "What's wrong, want to be beaten?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at the big pig head in front of her and asked coldly.

  "Yes. Ah, no, of course not." Wan Xi Chen immediately responded foolishly as soon as he saw Zhuge Mingyue and spoke to him, then hastily denied it after reacting.

  "Then die far away." Zhuge Mingyue said calmly.

  "Fine. I'll die a little further away." Wan Xi Chen pulled Xue Zi Hao to carefully move two steps to the side. Xue Zi Hao's mouth twitched, almost stiffening. How humiliating! This dead fatty!

  Zhuge Mingyue's eyes gleamed like a torch, gazing at the magic array in the center of the square, as her mind recalled the primary incantation to summon her demonic pet. At that time, once she stepped into the magic array, she had to concentrate her spirit, recite the incantation, and fully sense the demonic pet.

  If Zhuge Mingyue's summoning ceremony fails this time, she will never be able to become a summoner in this life.

  Digression

  It's started, beating gongs and drums! Oh yeah! Ladies and gentlemen, those with money can donate some, those without can show their support in person. It feels like performing on the streets...
