Chapter 2: Suzaku Dazzling Fire
Looking at the full moon in the sky, it emits a faint blue light, and the moonlight falls on her like silver. The forest gives people a sense of energy and unknown mystery, as if emitting a strong attraction.
She felt a familiar feeling, but she couldn't remember what it was.
Breathing the air at the edge of the forest that was scented with green grass, Gu Liyue felt relaxed all over, seemingly unable to feel the pain from her wounds.
She hadn't felt this way for a long time. In her previous life, before the end of the world, she lived in the city, surrounded by steel and concrete. If she had an environment like this, it would be like a big oxygen bar.
When the apocalypse arrives, you're either killing zombies or on your way to killing them, and the rest of the time is spent recuperating. It's exhausting and stressful, leaving you with no chance to enjoy the environment.
She had originally held the mentality of "make the best of it"—she'd just live here after traveling through time. But now she felt that traveling through time was actually a good thing.
She thought of the strange fire that had been dug out, and wondered if it was any different from her own strange fire in the end times.
She used her mind to mobilize the strange fire in her dantian, and saw a cluster of flames ignited at her fingertips. The flames were bright red with a hint of purple.
It is indeed a little different from the strange fire of the end of the world. The temperature is surprisingly high. It seems that it not only burns the real object, but also raises the temperature of the surrounding area by dozens of degrees.
Gu Liyue threw the flames onto the ground, and within moments, the weeds, about a meter in diameter, were reduced to scorched earth. She watched in amazement. This speed was even faster than using gasoline and ordinary fire. It was truly amazing!
At this time, the sky was already turning pale, and it seemed that dawn was approaching.
The chirping of birds can be heard from the big trees in the forest, making it very lively.
She couldn't help but look over and found a group of various birds chasing a small bird that looked like a sparrow, flying towards her.
She was stunned when the sparrow flew in front of her and landed on her open arm.
Only then did Gu Liyue see clearly that this little bird really looked like a sparrow. The only difference was that it had a cluster of bright red feathers on its forehead, which looked delicate and beautiful.
When it saw Gu Liyue looking at it, it also tilted its head to look at Gu Liyue.
What surprised Gu Liyue was that she seemed to understand the look in the little bird's eyes.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp~chirp?" Can I follow you?
"Not good." Gu Liyue was surprised that she could understand what the little bird wanted to express. Looking at the beautiful little bird, it was quite happy to tease it occasionally, but she subconsciously felt that the Gu family was not a safe place.
It’s better not to involve innocent animals.
She didn't know what level of spiritual beast this little bird was, but she vaguely felt that it was not just an ordinary bird.
It seemed a little angry: "Chirp~." followed.
After chirping, it raised its head and looked at the sky proudly.
The group of birds that had followed it out just now were circling in the sky. Gu Liyue looked at the group and thought to himself: Is it showing off its little brother to me?
She said kindly and patiently, "Look, your home is in this forest, and your brothers are there too. Are you going to leave them?"
Its eyes flashed with ferocity as it pecked at Gu Liyue's wrist. A blood bead instantly condensed. The little bird lowered its head and picked up the blood bead. Suddenly, a bright light shone brightly, and it disappeared in an instant. The totem in the space also lit up at this moment.
Gu Liyue was confused, not knowing what had just happened, and there was a faint sense of concern in her mind.
She couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Oh shit! Is she under contract? Is this possible? Is this even possible?"
"Of course I can! Because I am a spiritual beast from the ancient times. You actually look down on me and don't want me to follow you, but I will follow you anyway. Humph!" A soft and baby voice said very formal words. The contrast between the content of the words and the baby voice made people want to laugh.
"How dare you, a primitive spirit beast, take a liking to me, a person who can't practice cultivation? Xiaoguai, let's break the contract!"
"No, if it weren't for your strange fire physique, if I hadn't been suppressed into this state... Anyway, since I have already contracted you, I will not cancel the contract!" Xiao Que raised his head proudly.
Is this the connection after the contract? Being able to clearly communicate with this little bird in my mind is really incredible! After hearing it say this, Gu Liyue had to rethink some of the rules of this world.
So she tried to persuade him, "Why can you contract me without my consent?"
"Because you don't have any cultivation!"
“…”Okay, that’s a bit self-deprecating.
"So is this a master-servant contract or an equal contract?" This is crucial.
No matter how you think about it, you still have to be cautious about this contract!
The milky voice replied, "You don't have to think too much. Because of my unilateral contract, I am the servant. It's a master-servant contract."
After replying this, the little bird turned around and faced Gu Liyue with its butt.
Gu Liyue was amused. You were the one who wanted to sign the contract, but you were also the one who was dissatisfied. How cute and funny!
I had to coax it: "What's your name?"
Xiao Que turned around and said, "I am Suzaku, my name is Xuanhuo."
Suzaku, this couldn’t be the Suzaku I was thinking of.
The baby voice sounded again: "Yes, it is Suzaku, one of the four great primitive spirit beasts."
It sounds cool, but the little guy really can't associate it with that name.
"My name is Gu Liyue, Xiaoxuan, let's get to know each other."
The baby voice called out again: "Xiao Xuan doesn't sound good, call him Xuan Huo."
Gu Liyue looked at it and said, "You're so cute and petite, why don't you call me Xiaohuo?"
"Just call you Xiaoxuan, and I'll call you Liyue!"
"Whatever you say. I'm going back home now. Where are you going to stay? I don't have a spirit beast bag right now."
"Stay in your space! I think it's nice inside."
Gu Liyue was secretly surprised that Xiaoxuan even knew this.
She reflected on herself. In the apocalypse, she once raised a thrush because she thought animals were easier to get along with than humans. So when she saw Xuanhuo, she couldn't help but associate him with the thrush, forgetting that in the world of immortal cultivation, animals were also cunning and untrustworthy. Fortunately, she and Xiaoxuan had signed a master-servant contract.
"Okay, but you can't destroy the things inside the space, nor can you reveal this space to others."
It raised its head proudly and said, "Of course, I'm not a chatterbox."
I want to put Xuanhuo into the space.
"Wait a minute, my brothers are still here? I'll tell them."
Xiao Xuan screamed to the sky, and the flock of birds flew over, circled in a circle, and then flew towards the woods.
Only then did Xiao Xuan let Gu Liyue put it into the space.
Gu Liyue thought she was very dirty.
But the dress was so tattered that it could only barely cover the important parts, which was really embarrassing.
The clothes in her own space were also missing.
Unable to think of any other solution, she had to quickly rush towards the city gate.
I wasn't paying attention for a moment and hit something with a "bang", and the whole place started spinning.
