ICE & FIRE IMMORTALITY
CONTRACT SPIRIT MONSTER

"Xiao Liu, if you keep asking me to leave, why don't you leave me alone and let the ferocious monsters pounce on me in this forest? Then, tell Dad that I'm dead" said Tao Hua.

Tao Hua's words immediately hardened Xiao Lou's guts shrieked. Xiao Liu is a Tao Hua servant who has been assigned to guard her since the time of Tao Hua's childhood. His father entrusted him to continue to be by his side because he was too busy with his affairs.

"P-daughter, how could I possibly be back? I can't go back like that. My job is to protect the princess, even if I have to sacrifice my own life" he said.

"really? But why do I feel ... There is not a single hint of sincerity in you. If you don't intend to protect me, then leave it. I don't need someone who's not on my side. I just want to live free because I'm tired of being hidden in a gloomy place, as if ... I'm ashamed to have me" he said.

"Daughter, sir is not what you imagined. Mr. just ... ."

"Enough! If you keep defending my father, I won't talk to you anymore" he said.

"alright. Sorry, Princess. But I can't go back if you don't come back. If you decide to leave, then I'll accompany you as well" he said. "Daughter, I smell the scent of a human body around here" he said as he sniffed around.

"really? Well, then, good. Should we follow the scent?" ask her with a feeling of excitement.

"No, we need to be vigilant. The new princess set foot in the outside world. You have no idea how evil and cunning humans are. We must remain vigilant and alert when meeting with humans in the outside world." Warn to be more careful.

Tao Hua furrowed both of his brows while folding both of his arms. He looked at his servant named Xiao Liu with an unusual gaze, like investigating something within Xiao Liu.

The gaze he got from Tao Hua, made Xiao Liu feel uneasy. Then, he said, "Daughter, why are you looking at me with that look? Is there something wrong with my appearance?" ask her nervously.

"On your appearance is wrong or not, you do not need to ask, because every day your appearance is always wrong. Good thing you're not human like me. But you are also human. But your appearance ... Never mind. Why am I worried about appearance. No one will care too in the middle of this forest" he said.

"Daughter, we need to be more careful." Xiao Liu again reminded Tao Hua to be careful when he smelled the scent of a human body around him.

"Could ... Are you afraid of humans? Xiao Liu, who was hundreds of years old, was afraid of humans? Just be right. You lowered my judgment in my view earlier," said Tao Hua.

"No! There's no way I'm afraid of a human being weaker than me" he said. "Just ... Humans are so evil. They are cunning and manipulative. They just want to take advantage of other creatures, without thinking that other creatures have the right to survive. I'm not afraid of humans. I just have a grudge with some of them" he said.

He was curious, but rather decided not to ask, because he thought that he would awaken the unpleasant memories that Xiao Liu had once experienced.

"Ah, so so. You are my strongest follower. You've lived for more than hundreds of years, of course you're not a weak creature" Tao Hua said. "But my family and I are human too. Why don't you hate us?" ask Tao Hua.

"That's because ... ." Xiao Liu deliberately hung up his words, and did not intend to finish them.

The reason for that was because Xiao Liu did not want Tao Hua to think too much. Besides, it's been a long time ago. Xiao Liu had slowly accepted his way of life. That is what is called destiny, and it can never be changed with you again, because Xiao Liu has decided not to change anything about his destiny.

Xiao Liu is a nine-tailed fox spirit monster. He was the most sought after rare spirit monster. In his childhood, his family was killed by humans from the protective spirit hall who were still hunting down spirit monsters and killing them, then removing the spiritual marbles in the body, in order to increase his cultivation.

The Xiao Liu family was a nine-tailed fox family. Spirit monsters were cultivating like humans. Both of Xiao Liu's parents had successfully refined his cultivation and grew nine foxes. While at that time, Xiao Liu was still too small and had only grown 3 foxes.

Xiao Liu lived peacefully with his family in a fox cave. Both of her parents are hundreds of years old. Therefore, both can apply human form. Because having a human form is more comfortable, Xiao Liu's parents chose to live as humans and also decided to live in a City inhabited by humans.

Of course his parents would not leave Xiao Liu his own son in the forest. They took Xiao Liu and hid him every day in their residence which was housed in a City called Chang'an.

Unfortunately, their happiness and tranquility did not last long, when one of the villagers saw Xiao Liu who was a fox in the house of his parents who were human. Frightened, one of the people who saw Xiao Liu reported him to the protective spirit hall.

At that time, the protective spirit hall was very excited when they heard about the existence of a fox spirit monster that was none other than Xiao Liu. Therefore, he deployed the disciples of the protective spirit hall to ambush the house where Xiao Liu lived.

The news quickly rang out in the ears of Xiao Liu's parents. The two of them would not remain silent letting the spirit masters from the protective spirit hall injure his son whose identity had been revealed.

"You guys are from the protective spirit hall! Why are you deploying so many protective spirit hall disciples who gave up our home?! This action of yours is completely immoral!" Xiao Liu's father tried to protect Xiao Liu by advancing first.

The head of the protective spirit hall came forward to speak to Xiao Liu's father, "I'm sorry that we're being disrespectful. However, we previously received reports that you hid a spirit monster inside your house? The surrounding residents are not calm about it, because spirit monsters are creatures that threaten our existence" he said. He conversed with Xiao Liu's father, about someone who reported Xiao Liu's whereabouts inside his home in Chang'an City.
