Semua Bab The Day We Bonded: Bab 1 - Bab 9

“Chloe, what are you standing there for? It’s time for the bond.”Bond?Great. I had actually returned to the day of bonding with Marty, the white dragon.“Father, I—” However, before I could finish, Leigh and Marty dropped to their knees, hand in hand.“Chief,” Marty said, “although I am the spirit beast of two maidens, my heart belongs only to Leigh. Let me bond with her, please.”At his words, the entire Rain Clan gasped. Back then, as a spirit beast, he couldn’t even break out of his shell. It was I who exhausted half of my cultivation to help him hatch. A white dragon was originally the lowest bloodline of dragons. If I hadn’t insisted on making him my spirit beast, he wouldn’t even be qualified to stand here.Now, he had turned me into the laughingstock of the Rain Clan.When I saw the look he gave me, I knew he had been reborn, too.My aunt stepped forward and slapped him. “Do you even know your place? How dare you choose a maiden on your own?”Every maiden, whe

Suddenly, Marty lost control and plummeted from the Ninth Heaven. At the same time, the damp aura around us suddenly pulled on the clansmen’s spirit power.The sky in the mortal realm instantly turned into blazing sunlight.Leigh struggled desperately, wanting to try again. However, a bolt of heavenly thunder struck her down, slamming her heavily onto the rain altar.“Impossible! I’m clearly the one most qualified to bring rain and ascend!”Furious, Leigh pointed at me and cursed. “It’s you! You tampered with it, didn’t you?”Father’s heart ached as he pulled Leigh into his arms, his face stern as he looked at me.“Chloe, Leigh is your elder sister. How could you plot against her?”The clansmen, their spirit power drained, turned on me as well.“Princess Chloe, even if you’re jealous of Princess Leigh, you should think of the greater good.”“That’s right. If this rain fails, who in the Rain Clan will be able to ascend and protect our clan?”I crossed my arms and looked coldly

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

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

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
