Kewang Tian – A Deal Struck

Kewang Tian slowly recovered from his shock, [Such a powerful being, then shouldn't neither Spirit's or Demonic Beasts exist any longer?]

Ming Yue nodded in approval. "Your course of thinking is wise. Why would an all mighty being, with the power to do anything stop at that? Why would he seemingly leave the Spirits to themselves and the Beasts unharmed?"

"Why would he stop?" Kewang Tian asked.

Ming Yue chuckled a little. Then answered, "Would you rather see your enemies all killed, or suffer for an eternity?"

"But, Spirit's and Demonic Beasts are creatures of legend, and highly revered, how have they suffered?" Kewang Tian was confused. When speaking of ordinary Demon Beasts there wouldn't be much reverence, there was just hatred and revulsion. But when one talked of Dragons, Phoenixes, or Golden Crows they would speak in reverence, mystery, and wonder. How was this suffering? Kewang Tian was startled, he believed these beasts must hold a high place in the Divine Realms!

Ming Yue couldn't help but shake her head. "Do not worry about these things for now. These are problems for a stronger you. What we need to focus on now is the deal we're going to make!"

Her words brought Kewang Tian out of his daydream, and back into the real world. [Yes, what are the terms of this deal? You have offered me much, but you have asked for little.]

"Very well. I shall give you my request. Help me leave this place." She said cunningly.

"What, how the hell am I meant to get you out of here? Can Spirits even leave?" Kewang Tian asked curiously.

Ming Yue couldn't help but sigh. "You really listen to nothing I say do you?"

Kewang Tian had a puzzled look as if he had not listened to what she told him earlier. "It's not my fault! You can't just bombard me with information like that! I'm a good listener, but not that good!" he replied, causing them both to be a little agitated.

"Listen closely because I won't explain it again!" She said in a domineering voice.

"When you leave this realm, you will start to naturally awaken your legacy memories. When that happens, you won't have full control of your transformation. The best-case scenario is that you get cooked and eaten for your bone marrow! The worst is that you'll be unable to control your power and rip a hole in the space-time of this realm, which will cause the people upstairs to either eliminate you or perhaps sacrifice the life-force of the entire Black Dragon Continent to seal it! Do you what to be responsible for the death of billions?!"

She looked at him with wide eyes, staring into his soul! If his golden scales could change colour, they would definitely turn green! And would through up the contents of his stomach!

"But!" She said while smiling with a beautiful face. "I can help you with that!"

"How! Please! I don't want to be reincarnated into a dung beetle!"

When she heard him say this, she couldn't help but put on an odd face. 'He isn't worried about dying but being reincarnated into a lesser being. This boy definitely has self-esteem issues!'

"Yes, and better yet you'll be able to cultivate both the way of the human and devouring beast!"

"Wait, what?!" Looked at her puzzled.

Rubbing her eyes, like she hadn't slept for days she began to explain.

"You are a devouring beast! You don't cultivate the same way as humans! Beasts upgrade their bloodline, allowing them to become stronger, whereas humans follow the linear system. From Condensing Realm, then finding their Dao at the Heavenly Way, becoming an immortal, then ascending to Sainthood!"

"If you even could cultivate without a catastrophe happening it would be extremely slow and once humans found out you would be done for! But, that's where I come in! You have no Marital Spirit, but I could become yours! So, when we leave this realm together, we will be the same. You can go to a sect, get used to the human world, and slowly build your strength, as a genius! Then we will ascend to the divine realm!" Ming Yue giggled to herself.

"It seems that I don't have much choice." Kewang Tian was upset, although it looked like a good deal, there were too many issues. Why did she want out of the Spirit World? Why didn't she just snatch his body?!

"I agree." He bowed his head slightly.

"Great!" a big grin appeared on her face. "Hold out your ha- claw, and I'll make a blood pact."

Kewang Tian softly gave his claw to her, which was giant in comparison to her. But she held the weight of it rather well.

She drew her nail across his palm, making the scales crack and blood seep through.

"I Ming Yue vow to be your Spirit in Martial Arts and all things. From this day until my last."

Suddenly words appeared in Kewang Tian's head, although why he was a bit surprised where they came from. "I Kewang Tian's promise to not abuse our relationship, carry you as my Spirit and respect you. From this day until my last."

After he finished his vows, he could not help but see Ming Yue's face was blushing slightly. [Why is she blushing?} he thought puzzled to himself.

Hearing his thoughts, Ming Yue turned around, so her face couldn't be seen.

"Enough of this! We must get to work. Now I'll transmit your broken memories back, which should awaken your bloodline! After that, you'll perform 200 transformations – without you passing out, I may be able to repress the power of your bloodline, but it would be better spent channeling Qi. Finally, I shall teach you how to Spirit Walk. Now let's get to work!"

Kewang Tian was baffled by all of this, it sounded like a lot of work, and would take a very long time!

"Err, Ming Yue. Won't that take a few months?" he asked worryingly.

"A few years most likely."

Kewang Tian was stunned, he didn't know what to say in reply. Ming Yue turned around to peak at him and giggled. "Don't worry. A few years in Spirit World is only around one month on the outside."

"Now to work!" She placed her forefinger gently between Kewang Tian's eyes, causing the Purple to flicker, going back to his natural dark eyes, but then reigniting an even deeper purple.
