Chapter 16: " Little White Lotus (1)"
When she went back to her room, the little black cat immediately appeared and jumped onto her shoulder as it rubbed against her cheek affectionately.
"Are all grandfathers supposed to be like this?" She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the strange yet familiar reflection.
"According to normal relationships, that's the way should be." The black cat was swinging it's bushy tail. It was the only one who knew what the word 'grandfather' meant for her.
"Is that so?" Her eyes lowered as she gently clutched her chest. Within it, she felt a warm feeling radiate…something she's never felt before.
A little sour, a little warm. She loved it.
Jun Wu Yao once asked her whether she was angry when Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian came over to break the marriage arrangement.
The answer in her heart was "why should she be?".
For her, the past of this body had nothing to do with her, even the Lin Palace did not have much relationship to her so she did not feel the need to be angry, but now things are different.
Jun Xian's voice echoed in her head. The constant nagging to eat her medicine, the little attempts at jokes when he was trying to get her to smile, these were all foreign to her.
"He is my Grandfather." The reflection in the bronze mirror revealed a small smile, one that was enough to melt snow and ice.
God had given her compensation for her past experience – giving her a chance to feel what it's like to have someone to care for her and to protect her. She will certainly not let anyone destroy this new found happiness.
"I will not let anything happen to Lin Palace,myself or my Grandfather." she said with conviction as she narrowed her eyes.
In the past, nothing was worthy of her concern but now, things have changed.
Lin palace is now in muddy waters and to protect it, she must take some decisive actions. Things were not so simple.
"My white lotus…in the end.. what are you?" She whispered under her breath as she traced her slender finger over the empty ring spot. Faint light diffused from her fingers and the white lotus appeared once again.
"Meow"
[Do you want to try and see what can it do?] The black cat was swishing its tail in excitement as it cocked its head and stared intently on the white lotus.
She placed the white lotus on her palm and gently brushed its petals. A sweet fragrance permeated the entire room.
"It's scent is lovely," as she took in a deep whiff. Somehow she had always felt that whenever she smelled this scent, her blood flow deemed smoother, as though this scent had a relation to this feeling.
This lotus fragrance was very strange, it had a very enticing smell and even conditioned the human blood, perhaps this lotus might have other uses as well.
As she reached out to pull off a petal… at that moment…before the petal was pulled off…
"Ouch! Pain…Pain…Pain…" A gentle child like voice sounded out as her surroundings turned misty.
When the mist gradually dispersed, a small little boy was sitting on the floor tearfully holding his arm, looking dejectedly at Jun Wu Xie.
"Meow!" The sudden appearance of this little kid scared the black cat out of its wits and it almost fell off as it scrambled to sit back on Jun Wu Xie's shoulders.
"...….." Jun Wu Xie looked on speechlessly at the little boy seated on the floor. He was wearing a small bib with a vivid white lotus design which looks exactly like her white lotus contractual spirit.
Where did this little thing pop out from?
His delicate little face and his big watery eyes were filled with grievances and he looked at Jun Wu Xie as if she had done something very wrong.
"Monster!" Black Cat exclaimed loudly, staring at the little guy.
"I'm not a monster!" The little boy said startled by his own outburst as he fiddled with his fingers.
"Who are you?" Jun Wu Xie looked at him innocently.
[Get him thrown out! This guy is definitely a monster!] The black cat felt almost numb. Ever since they transversed into this world, the variety of bizarre things have happened so much.
When the little boy heard the cat said that he should be thrown out he immediately started crying.
"I am not a monster, you cannot throw me out! I'm your contractual spirit! Contractual spirit! How could you throw out your own contractual spirit …" the sobbing little boy claimed, while looking at Jun Wu Xie, big tears from his eyes were falling when suddenly, the room was infused with a deep lotus scent.
"I didn't know that contractual spirits could turn into humans?" Jun Wu Xie rebutted harshly, her gorgeous face had not a trace of softening up.
The little boy opened his mouth, looked at Jun Wu Xie as if wronged.
"I really am your contractual spirit, if you do not believe me, I can change into a more familiar form for you." Then he slowly stood up, stifling its tears when he disappeared without a trace, in his place, a beautiful white lotus was floating in mid-air.
"..." Jun Wu Xie no longer knew how to express the shock in her mind.
*Poof* The white lotus disappeared once again and the little boy once reappeared in the same place.
For that moment, Jun Wu Xie thought of the magicians in her previous world.
"Now do you believe me?" The little guy was watching Jun Wu Xie's response in earnest.
Although ... he also knows that even in the spirit world, he was different from the rest… but he really is ... a contractual spirit!
Jun looked leisurely at her own "contractual spirit" white lotus flower which was already hard to accept as it was the first she had heard of a plant contractual spirit but now that it could even transform…! However, looking at the little arm and legs, not to mention fighting, if others gave him a punch, it would most probably put him to death almost immediately.
"Sure enough, it's still useless?" Jun Wu Xie muttered out loud, frowning slightly not hiding her discontent that this was not her ideal contractual spirit.
Brooding Jun Wu Xie did not notice, after she carelessly said those words, the already uneasy little lotus was again on the verge of tears.
"Sniff …please do not turn me away, I'm..I'm useful…I'm really useful." Alert to his own master's "loath" the little lotus could no longer bear it, he threw himself at her while clinging onto one leg, tears running like a tap.
"I am very useful, really, do not throw me back." Little Lotus stubbornly clinging to her leg, fearing her outright rejection.
"Throw back? Where?" Jun Wu Xie finally answered when the words from the little lotus awoke her from her previous stupor.
