Chapter 2

In my previous life, it was always like this-I always ended up with whatever was left.

She unhesitatingly took away the mythical beast, leaving me with the spirit serpent.

Father said, "You've been with the spirit serpent for a long time, and your sister has graciously let you have it. Aren't you going to thank her?"

In reality, the mythical beast had a pure lineage and a clear spiritual essence, making it resistant to psychological struggles.

On the other hand, the spirit serpent, though powerful, had a mixed bloodline, a stubborn and violent nature, and a penchant for bloodlust, prone to getting stuck in its own thoughts.

The mythical beast lived up to its potential, progressing in its cultivation as effortlessly as a hot knife through butter, soaring high as the child of the Gluttonous Emperor.

The spirit serpent, due to its unstable foundation, required me to painstakingly sort through its spiritual meridians, making little progress over several years.

Everyone awaited the mythical beast's ascension, anticipating the spirit serpent's downfall.

Yet, in Father's eyes, I was always indebted to my sister, as if any little thing she let slip through her fingers was a gift I should be eternally grateful for.

Clearly, I was here first.

But in the end, I became the thief.

Later, when the mythical beast ascended, it was besieged by psychological struggles and tragically fell, destroying my sister's appearance and spiritual essence in its madness, leaving her unable to form a bond with a steed again.

The spirit serpent, however, rose to prominence, evolving into its true form, a divine creature, becoming the only divine beast on the continent of Jiuzhou.

Father came to discuss with me, wanting me to give the divine beast to my sister to use its power to repair her spiritual platform.

I firmly refused, and somehow, my sister overheard and bore a grudge.

When I went to visit her, she took the opportunity to sacrifice herself, taking me with her.

The sky was ablaze, and the immense energy from the explosion scorched my body.

She charged at me, consumed by hatred and madness: "You wretch, how dare you live in glory! The divine beast should be mine! You only get what I leave behind."

As my consciousness faded, I saw Father rushing towards us in a panic.

Reborn, my sister immediately took the spirit serpent.

She leaned in close, her expression vicious yet triumphant: "You can go on nurturing that useless mythical beast. I'll be waiting for the day you end up disfigured and powerless."

To be reborn and still place everything on a steed-how foolish.

The spirit serpent's spiritual essence was chaotic and mottled. In my past life, I risked becoming a fool by sorting through its spiritual essence daily, yet still got my spiritual meridians scorched by its innate fire, making no progress in my cultivation.

Otherwise, her self-destructive spiritual power would never have breached my defenses.

I looked at the black spiritual embryo and sighed.

After all, it was a steed I had been with for over a decade, having weathered so many storms together.

Who knows what fate awaits him in my sister's hands.

But I smirked to myself; perhaps the spirit serpent would be happy.

He had long despised me, Alan, for holding back his progress.

Now, the mythical beast is my steed.

I carried it back to my room.

The spiritual embryo burst with dazzling white light before gradually fading.

A small mythical beast appeared on the bed.

Still in its juvenile form, it was only the length of an arm, with thick, dense white fur covering its body. Its slightly long, fluffy baby fur hadn't yet shed. Adorably cute.

A large, adorable mythical dandelion.

"Oww~" The mythical beast let out a soft cry, curiously spinning around to survey its surroundings, before fixing its gaze on my face.

It nimbly leaped beside me, tilting its head to look at me.

Its azure eyes were filled with my reflection.

"So, you are my companion? I am aware of your plight. As long as you stay with me, no one will ever bully you again!"

Davin, the proud little kitten, was simply too cute!

I hugged the mythical beast tightly, burying my face in its belly and nuzzling it repeatedly.

Its soft pink paws pressed against my face, trying to push me away but lacking the strength, unable to extend its claws, and could only struggle feebly.

"Let go of me! Let go of me!"

The fluffy mythical beast's face showed a hint of shyness and alarm.

So obedient.

I contentedly buried my face in its little belly, taking a deep breath before finally releasing it.

The mythical beast lay limply on the bed like a beauty after a rough encounter.

After a while, it shook its fur and jumped onto the bedside cabinet, looking down at me.

Its tail flicked past my nose.

With its fur in disarray, it tried to straighten itself, speaking with a serious tone.

"Companion! I forbid you from doing that!"

The little kitten was so emotionally stable; if it were the spirit serpent, it would have bitten me by now.

Watching it try to raise its little head and act all serious, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The mythical beast brought its little head closer, scrutinizing me for a moment before nodding. "That's more like it!"

It spoke with an aged tone, "Always frowning is unattractive. Humans look better when they smile more. Let us handle everything."

It seemed like this was the first time anyone had said something like this to me.

I paused for a moment, then pulled it into my arms again.

It didn't seem like the type to succumb to psychological struggles-why did it fall back then?

Boom-

A loud explosion shook the earth.

The blast waves brought scorching heat.

Outside, the ground quaked, and the poorly built house shed dust.

It was noisy outside.

"My sister is fighting the spirit serpent!"

I glanced out the window; the spirit serpent's strange fire spread across the mountains, turning half the sky red.

A fight broke out?

Though the spirit serpent had a fiery temper, it wasn't unreasonable.

I wondered what Renee did to provoke such anger.

The mythical beast let out a howl, an icy blue barrier forming around it, dissipating the heat from the strange fire.

I stroked the mythical beast's soft, smooth fur. "Let's go, see what's happening."

And perhaps check on the spirit serpent too.

The mythical beast let out a howl and leapt onto my shoulder.
