Chapter 2

Author: Perfect Timing
I stood up and pointed at a green snake outside the barrier.

“I can bond with him and pray for rain!”

Leigh glanced at the mottled green snake beyond the barrier and pretended to persuade me kindly. “Chloe, there’s no need to rush like this. A rain maiden must ride a dragon to soar into the sky. You must be mistaken, seeing a snake as a dragon.”

The crowd whispered as I pulled the snake toward me with my spirit power.

“Princess Chloe is confused. A white dragon, no matter how weak, is still a dragon. At today’s ceremony, I’m afraid only Princess Leigh can put an end to the drought on Earth.”

Everyone’s eyes turned expectantly to Leigh. The first prayer after a rain maiden and her spirit beast bonding would take place at the rain altar.

If successful, the maiden’s power would grow immensely, giving her a greater chance of ascending.

However, Father suddenly stepped forward to hold Leigh back. “Leigh, your body is frail. Today, just form the bond. Don’t stir up further trouble.

“As a rain maiden, if you can’t bring rain, then even with a spirit beast, ascension will be nearly impossible.”

I admired my fresh manicure and looked at Leigh with a faint smile.

“Who said I can’t? Today, I’ll show you who the true future rain goddess is!”

Leigh held Marty’s hand and stepped onto the rain altar.

Marty hated being touched. In my previous life, I thought he was simply cold by nature, but now I know he just loathed me and my looks.

When facing Leigh, the most beautiful woman in the Wasteland, his heart raced.

He began to summon his true form, preparing to ascend. However, before he could even pass the first heaven, the immense spirit power of the rain altar forced him to crash back down, spitting blood.

“Leigh, help me.”

He looked up at her with puppy-dog eyes.

“Presumptuous! Leigh has been frail since childhood. Do you know how much effort I’ve spent helping her cultivate her strength? How can we waste her power on you?”

Father shielded Leigh and struck Marty hard, sending him flying.

“If you can’t transform into your dragon form and ascend with your own power, then today’s bonding ends here.”

Marty’s gaze shifted to me. “Princess Chloe, you raised me with your heart’s blood since I was young. Can you really bear to watch me suffer like this?”

In the past, I would have given him my spirit blood without hesitation.

However, before I could speak, Evan, the green snake, stepped in front of me. “You humiliated Princess Chloe today, and you still dare ask her for help?”

Shame and rage burned on Marty’s face. He clenched his fists and slowly stood. “Fine. Today, I’ll prove that I can ascend on my own.”

After forty-nine failed attempts, his body battered and bleeding, Marty finally took flight.

Leigh mounted him, and together they called the rain. A fresh, damp aura spread through the area, and the clansmen basked in delight.

Grass sprouted, and spirit power filled the air.

In the crystal orb, the mortal realm appeared. Clouds gathered, and the emperor stood at the rain altar, burning three sticks of incense.

Everyone awaited the long-desired rainfall that would end three years of drought.

    I shook my head at him.“Marty, my connection with you ended long ago.”Leigh looked at me, begging. “Chloe, save me. Father is dead, and our aunt is dead. You’re the only family I have left.”I remembered my last life, when a wolf bit me in the Valley of Beasts. I begged her with the same pleas of sisterhood to spare me. However, she used an illusion and stomped on my face. “How are you worthy to call me sister?”My eyes went ice cold. “This is all your own doing.”I used my divine power to strip that face from her.“Things taken from others must be returned.”Leigh had always cared most about her looks. Frenzied, she ran to the Meditation Lake and, seeing her scarred face, went mad and lunged at me. “It’s all your fault, Rain Goddess Chloe! I’ll kill you!”However, Evan struck first and shattered her inner core. In the end, Leigh vomited blood and died glaring at me.Marty’s gaze fixed on Evan. “Is it because of him you won’t return to me?”He tried to kill Evan, but I

    The moment the seal broke, it felt like every bone in my body was about to fall apart. The pain nearly stopped me from finishing the incantation.I thought I was going to die.“Auntie!” My raw scream tore through the Ninth Heaven.“Chloe, come.”Evan suddenly shifted into his dragon form, his whole body bathing in a bluish-violet light. He held me tight; the warm, soothing spirit power around him wrapped me instantly. It was like a baby returning to its mother’s arms. I steadied my breathing as a purple barrier bloomed around us.“Chloe, keep reciting the rain spell. Don’t stop.”I sat on his dragon back and poured my heart into feeling the suffering of the common people and the clan’s struggle to slay the water beast. The incantation flowed like a clear spring through the valley.When I finished the final line of the rain spell, a gentle spring rain had already begun to fall in the mortal world, and the valley’s floodwaters receded. The water beast quieted as well.Lei

    Father had come to beg me to save Leigh.“Put yourself in her shoes. She is your sister, after all.”I looked at Father, unsure whether to laugh or cry.“She relied on my spirit power to try to become a goddess. But now I’m afraid her cultivation may be completely ruined. She brought this upon herself.”“You’re lying! Leigh can’t be ruined. I’ve spent my life tending to her so she could become the Rain Goddess. That’s impossible.”Father stumbled away.The next day, just as I rubbed my sore limbs, I sensed something was very wrong. A major event was happening!My divine bone was linked to my mother’s. In an instant, I felt it. The water beast had awakened.Mother’s divine bone had sealed the water beast for thousands of years. It wouldn’t loosen unless by human interference. Father, unable to take my divine bone, had actually planned to substitute Mother’s divine bone for Leigh.Father’s devotion to his long-lost love really bore his heart for Leigh.Mother’s divine bon

    My heart lurched.My aunt was the one who had treated me best in the clan. I couldn’t let anything happen to her.Evan grabbed my hand, warning, “This might be a trap!”I held his hand tight. “This is my aunt. Even if it’s a trap, I have to go!”“Then I’ll go with you.” Evan stood and pulled me along as I smiled at him and nodded.We rushed to my aunt’s dwelling, only to find it was empty. Then, Leigh’s flawless face suddenly appeared above us.“You killed your mother and brother. Yet, your aunt is the only one you truly care about.”She admired her freshly done nails as she sneered at me. “Today, I’ll let you die in your aunt’s cave. At least then you’d have fulfilled your filial duties.”As she spoke, she pinned Evan beneath her and stroked his face. “How can someone be so handsome?”“Let him go!” I shouted at her.“Looks like your mistress really cares for you.” Leigh ordered Marty to take Evan away and began the Heart-Devouring Curse.It was an ancient secret art

    Evan didn’t answer. He guided my hand to peel off a single scale from behind his ear.When I held the scale, he stared intently at me. “In our snake clan, if a man loves a woman, he lets her pull off his hardest scale. That way, the woman knows his weak spot, because he’s willing to submit and expose his most vulnerable place to her.”Seeing him make that solemn promise, I carefully kept the scale and fell into his arms. A breeze stirred the lotus pond as he whispered, “Princess, I heard that if a maiden and her spirit beast cultivate together, not only will it boost spirit power, it’ll also increase harmony. Do you want to try?”Even though I’d been thinking and trying for three months with no way to make him become a dragon, I never imagined this. He looked at me with hope, and I awkwardly kissed his soft lips.Suddenly, his body stiffened, and he pinned me down. The shadows of two entwined figures spread across the cave walls.The next morning, I rose sore all over, while t

    Leigh glared at me with pure venom.“It was just luck. If I hadn’t drawn the cloud array just now, you wouldn’t have brought down a single drop.”“Princess Leigh, you are not jealous that Princess Chloe could succeed in praying for rain, are you? Well, you weren’t even born a Rain Maiden. It’s normal to be jealous of the true one. No one will hold it against you.”Evan had returned to human form. After the spirit infusion, he now radiated a bluish-green aura from head to toe, looking untouchable. For a moment, even Leigh froze, lost for words. Marty clenched his fists in secret. Dragons are fiercely jealous. Now that he loved Leigh deeply, he couldn’t tolerate it.However, Marty spent too much spirit power to shapeshift and ascend earlier. He couldn’t even beat the lowest-level spirit beast now, let alone Evan, who was about to transform into a dragon.I didn’t want to continue arguing with Leigh anymore.In my last life, I succeeded in calling rain, producing three hundred
