Chapter 127: Contract the Ice Luan

Lou Mu Yan blinked and looked at the Ice Luan that was too tragic to look at. Wasn’t he abused a bit too miserably by Ming Xiu. 

“This Tier 8 Demon Cultivator Ice Master was taken care of by you just like that?” 

Ming Xiu glanced at the big bird coldly and the Ice Luan couldn’t help but shudder, then he said: “Who told him to have a cheap mouth.”

To think he dared to have ideas about him. It was already kind that he didn’t cut off the possibility for this stinky bird to have children and grandchildren. 

The Ice Master shrank his neck. The eyes of that beautiful human man were too sharp. Could he say that he didn’t dare to have any inordinate thoughts about him anymore? 

“Pfft!”

Lou Mu Yan couldn’t help laughing as she watched the Ice Luan’s miserable appearance and that pair of innocent-looking eyes. 

The Ice Luan found himself being ridiculed by a weak human woman and couldn’t help but glare at her fiercely. His mouth was bound by a golden ring so he couldn’t speak, but he cursed her in his heart-woman, what are you laughing at, lao’zi1 lost because of carelessness. 

Except where did the Ice Luan, at this time, still have any of the appearance as a descendant of Divine Beasts. The look in his fierce eyes paired with the messy feathers were as funny as it got. 

“HAHA—” Lou Mu Yan wasn’t frightened by the Ice Master’s eyes at all, and instead, burst into laughter. 

Ming Xiu watched the little woman smile like a flower and a gentle smile couldn’t help but also rise on his face. He raised an eyebrow and looked at the Ice Luan on the ground, having an idea. 

This Ice Luan was gay, and Lou Mu Yan just happened to lack a flying mount. It was perfect that the Ice Luan wouldn’t have any ideas about the little woman, so a contract was plausible. 

“Woman, how about I gift him to you as a flying mount.” Ming Xiu approached Lou Mu Yan and her faint fragrance of medicine wafted around his nose, refreshing. 

Lou Mu Yan was stunned for a moment. Seeing Ming Xiu point to the Ice Luan on the ground and determine where he belonged just like that, she couldn’t help but light a candle for the Ice Master who could once do as he pleased in this Glacial Mountain Range, wanting wind and wind will come, wanting rain and rain would arrive2. 

The Ice Luan’s eyes widened—what? This damned man wanted him to be the flying mount of this weak woman. Just let him die once first. 

Lou Mu Yan walked to the Ice Luan’s side and tugged the self-made crown on his head, with a hit of disgust in her eyes: “I do lack a flying mount, but isn’t this Ice Luan too ugly?” 

The Ice Luan choked on anger—this woman was as annoying as that perverted3, beautiful man. 

He, the Ice Master, was just that handsome and unparalleled, was refined and carried himself with a natural poise, so how could he be linked with ugliness? Could you have some standards when appreciating please? 

Ming Xiu nodded in agreement: “Indeed a bit ugly, but there’s no other suitable one. Just made do for now and when we catch a better flying Demonic Beast, we’ll swap.”

I pei4! The Ice Master almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Where was he ugly? And he was an authentic descendant of Divine Beasts, where could they go to find a better flying Demonic Beast? 

These two people actually spoke about the issue of contracting with such disgust, he truly wanted to cry but there were no tears. Could you ask his opinion first? 

“Mm, oh well, it’s fine to be ugly, but just look at his gaze. It sure doesn’t look like he’s willing to make a contract with me.” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow as she looked at the Ice Luan on the ground which had absolutely no proper appearance to speak of, thinking it funny. 

Ming Xiu’s eyes sharpened and the cold knife in his eyes was thrown directly at the Ice Luan, then be threatened telepathically into his Sea of Consciousness: “It’s your blessing to be my woman’s flying mount. Think about what to do yourself. If you don’t agree, I won’t force it either.”

The Ice Master felt despair when he heard the first half of his words, but when he heard the last part, his eyes instantly lit up. So this beautiful man wasn’t actuality that bad. 

But who knew that Ming Xiu’s next sentence would completely shatter all his illusions. 

“Of course, you can be a eunuch bird from now on.”

The Ice Luan’s lower half couldn’t help but tighten. He only just wanted to tease this man a little because he looked rather handsome, but who knew he’d be deeply trapped in this sort of prison. It truly was ‘a beauty messes up a bird’! 

Pei! It’s ‘a beauty messes up a Divine Beast’! 

As if he wanted to be a eunuch bird. This perverted man felt as if he had the bloodline of a True Dragon in him. Words said in such a domineering style usually meant he wouldn’t change his mind. If he didn’t form a contract with this woman, he probably really wouldn’t be able to give birth to offspring anymore. 

His eyes rolled around, thinking, then he looked up at the little white beast on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder. 

Who knew that with just a simple glimpse, the pressure of the aura of a Royal Species would assault him and a cold voice echoed in his Sea of Consciousness: “Little ice bird, do you believe that This King would dig your eyes out.”

A gay Demonic Beast was also an eyesore to him. 

There was a sting of pain in the Ice Luan’s Sea of Consciousness, and after regaining his calm, he secretly took a look at Mo Yan in fear. What kind of Fire Cloud Mink was this Demonic Beast, he was obviously a Spirit Devourer of a Royal Species.

According to his inherited memories, although the Spirit Devourer wasn’t a Divine Beast, but they were a part of those that had it easiest in becoming a True Spirit Demonic Beast. Out of the many Demonic Beast species, it was also an existence many Demonic Beasts looked up to. 

He sure didn’t expect to see a Royal Species Demonic Beast with a purer bloodline than even him. The most important thing was that this being who addressed himself as ‘This King’, and although was weak in strength, but his pressure made him scared, actually recognised that woman as his Master. 

It truly was unbelievable for him! 

“Why did you become that woman’s Spirit Pet?” The Ice Master couldn’t resist asking telepathically for his own future prospects. 

Didn’t they say that Spirit Devourers were even more prideful than a True Dragon and Phoenix? Why did he contract a weak human then? He simply couldn’t figure it out! 

Mo Yan was originally too lazy to answer the Ice Luan’s question, but remembering that Lou Mu Yan should indeed have a flying mount, and although this Ice Luan was just the Cyan Luan and Fire Phoenix’s descendant, but it’s bloodline was still rather authentic, so he was barely qualified to contract the same Master as him. 

“She’s still weak now, but one day she’ll soar into the sky and become an existence that others could only look up to and cannot be reached.” Mo Yan’s voice carried a sense of affirmation in the indifference. 

After seeing so many surprises and trump cards of Lou Mu Yan, and with the thousands of years of experience he’s had, this woman’s future achievements would certainly not be meek and his choice couldn’t be wrong. 

The Ice Luan was startled when he heard Mo Yan’s telepathic words. The Spirit Devourer was just that optimistic about that woman? 

He cast his gaze to Lou Mu Yan and took a good look. Before, because the woman was young, he didn’t pay much attention, but now that he looked closely, she was actually a really beautiful woman. 

Since she had such a gorgeous appearance now, once she grew up, she’d definitely fit the saying ‘one look back with a smile gives birth to thousands of types of charm’ and would definitely be beautiful enough to cause the downfall of a country. 

In actual fact, he wasn’t gay. He just liked to tease beautiful men and women, and even more so towards beautiful men that were nourishing to the eye. 

Yet who knew which son of a bitch spread the rumour that he was gay, and now just randomly teasing a beautiful man caused him to be beaten beyond recognition. Was it easy for him, was it?

“Have you made a decision?” Ming Xiu saw the eyes of the Ice Luan look here and there, and even moved his gaze onto Lou Mu Yan, so he asked grimly.

The Ice Luan had a carefree nature, and had long tossed away his moral integrities, so he immediately resigned himself to fate and nodded: “I’ll regard her as my Master.”

He also wanted to visit the human world to have a look. The Master who was even chosen by the Spirit Devourer shouldn’t be too bad, otherwise even if he had to risk being a eunuch, he wouldn’t succumb.

Of course, if the woman wanted to order him around right now, then it wouldn’t be so easy. Without strength and ability higher than him, he wouldn’t obey from the bottom of his heart.

As a result, Lou Mu Yan didn’t even get to use the methods of enticement to kidnap and threats that she had originally prepared, and the one human one beast had already helped settle a high-level flying mount for her.

A drop of blood fell on the middle of the Ice Luan’s brows, Lou Mu Yan formed a few Taoist Seals, forming a Contract Seal mark, and a difficult, obscure incantation poured out from her mouth.

Immediately, a soft, jade-coloured light shone brightly, instantly enveloping her and the Ice Luan, lasting an incense stick of time.

When the light curtain dissipated, the Contract of Equals was formed, and Lou Mu Yan and the Ice Luan also had a connection between their hearts.

1‘lao’zi’ technically translates to ‘your father’ but in this case, considering it’s usage in another novel of this author’s I’m translating, translating it to ‘your father’ is just weird. It’s an arrogant way of saying ‘I’, used often by men. I’m going to keep it as it is.

2a saying meaning to get what you want whenever you want it.

3here, perverted just means abnormal/twisting logic etc.

4‘pei’ is used to indicate spitting. Usually used when you hear something unlucky or you don’t like what you hear, or even what you, yourself had accidentally said, and you just ‘spit’ on it, hoping whatever was said doesn’t happen. Kind of like knocking on wood.
