At this moment, the Water Python is fully focused on me alone.

It hasn't noticed the many malicious glances nearby.

"How can a lowly-blooded Water Python have Ying Dragon bloodline?"

"I think he's just bragging. For a grass snake without even wings, how could it possibly cross the Glazed Dragon Gate on the heavenly Glazed Tile?"

Master has been frowning all this time. After hearing what was said, he instantly appeared in front of the Water Python through Body Shifting.

With a point of two fingers, the Water Python painfully twisted its large body.

"There really is a trace of Ying Dragon bloodline. Yun Zhi, do you want to reconsider?"

I was just about to step forward to clarify things when the White Deer suddenly nudged me with its antlers.

A strand of Divine Thought instantly entered my mind.

"Since you've chosen me, you still want to have ties with other rubbish? You've touched and hugged, how absurd."

My foot froze in mid-air, somewhat surprised that it could transmit secret sound.

Seeing it look so adorably sacred, not to be insulted, I didn't expect it to be so petty.

"Master, I have already decided. Since I have chosen the White Deer, I will not glance at anyone else."

Upon hearing my resolute refusal, the Water Python soared into the air, its long tail about to lash at my face, but due to Master's control, it was powerless and heavily fell to the ground, emitting a sound of suffering.

"Impossible, you will choose me."

I coldly cast my gaze over its unsightly true form.

Seeing it in such a pitiful state, I felt relieved. Suddenly, a delicate figure rushed out from the crowd.

"Master, although this long worm is now just a Water Python, it is true in feeling and loyal in faith. I am willing to form a covenant with it, hoping to assist its ascension one day."

It is Senior Sister Lu Xingyun.

Upon hearing this, Master shook his head displeased.

"Since you have already chosen the White Tiger, how can you be fickle?"

The fierce tiger behind let out an angry growl, yet was helpless.

Lu Xingyun walked with a face full of compassion to the struggling Water Python.

"Master, I know you care most about little junior sister, wanting her to have the best spirit pet in the world. But if this Water Python truly has Ying Dragon bloodline, why her and not me?"

Master's expression turned unsightly.

For some reason, he just felt that the sudden appearance of this Water Python was wicked.

Before saying much, Lu Xingyun had already taken matters into her own hands, merging with the Water Python as a Blood Covenant.

Watching her so eager to possess that long worm, I snickered inwardly.

Look at how anxious you are.

Since you like it, let me give it all to you.

Know that in the last life, that Water Python managed to ascend and transform into a dragon, becoming the Heaven and Earth Dragon King, all through my effort and help.

Senior Sister reaps the rewards, eats the meal, and curses after putting down the bowl.

This time, it starts everything anew. With Senior Sister's understanding and endurance, I truly look forward to seeing a unique Ying Dragon ascend.

On the way back, I rode atop the White Deer.

It was gentle and obliging throughout.

When reaching my mansion's gate, it was even reluctant to let me down. I angrily patted its antlers.

"Don't want me to go back? Do you want to elope with me?"

Upon hearing this, the White Deer raised its head, letting out a melodious sound.

"If I let you down now, you won't go back to find that useless Water Python."

"You humans are always unwilling to keep your promises. Since you've chosen me, how can you covet others?"

"Why do I see you filled with enmity towards that Water Python?"

I teased the White Deer with a smile. It turned its head arrogantly to the side.

"Don't think I don't know your intentions. You really want to see it transform into Ying Dragon, becoming the Heaven and Earth Dragon King. Not to mention it lacks such destiny, even if it does and crosses the Dragon Transformation Pool, it would be a disgrace to the Dragon Clan."

Hearing someone belittle the former Heaven and Earth Dragon King before me, I instantly beamed.

"Don't worry, since I chose you, of course, I wouldn't look at others. If you're unwilling to form a covenant with me, to become lifelong partners, now you can leave me, and I won't blame you. This way I can search for other spirit pets."

Listening to my words, it used its antlers to nudge me again, nearly knocking me to the ground.

"Sure enough, you're still thinking about other species. Since you picked me, you should definitely form a covenant with me, how could I be unwilling?"

I smiled sweetly, this White Deer can't take a challenge, how adorable.

"Then let's form a Blood Covenant."

I extracted a drop of blood from my forehead, signaling him to do the same.

In the past life, there was no significant involvement between the Water Python and me, not even the simplest soul energy, but he sweet-talked me, saying he was gravely injured and didn't want to burden my life.

At the time, I thought he was fully devoted to me, planning to form a covenant after his ascension, who would have known he would die on the day of ascension.

This life, I must prepare in advance, never giving anyone the opportunity to harm me again.
