Finally the school ended, with so much hassle due to ghosts and glaring people which mostly came from Xu Lin and Xiao Yin, Ming Yue had to spend her time in school carefully. Ming Yue went out of school right away, ignoring the classmates who kept throwing her curious look at her.
Her plan today was making money. The sooner the better, so Ming Yue walked toward the mountain. It was quite far from her school but she was used to walk around so it didn't really tire her that much. Fortunately today was her off day working at Uncle Chu's restaurant.
Along the way, she met some people, asking her where she was going.
"The mountain? Little girl, going alone to the mountain is dangerous." warned an old man who looked like in his fifties.
"It's fine, I just want to find wild herbs to sell. I won't go too deep." Ming Yue said, try to reassure the old man.
"Should grandpa accompany you? If something happens to a beautiful girl like you, it will haunt grandpa forever." The old man offered, worry could be seen clearly on his face.
For Ming Yue who had her heart frozen, having someone worry about her like this despite they were strangers, warmed her heart just a little bit. Even though she had cold personality now unlike her past self, Ming Yue would not be so cold to brush away people who were kind to her. As for people who became her enemy, she would retaliate coldly and mercilessly.
For some reason Ming Yue was quite scared of herself. She was a person who used to believe in the good things of people but now, it as if she was a different person. It was as if her own soul was liberated. She felt free, unshackled and saw things in different perspective.
Maybe it was due to her case being a reincarnated person, when the heavenly beasts mentioned about 'Mortal Realm', deep down Ming Yue had an epiphany that she was different now. She wasn't a mortal anymore. But if she wasn't a mortal then what was she?
While contemplating in these thoughts, Ming Yue's lips curled into a soft smile. It was just a soft smile but to the people who saw it, it was a divine smile. It was like a smile of a goddess, elegant and captivating.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Grandpa but I will be okay. Don't worry."
If something happened, she could go to Tianshang De Kongjian after all, so she wasn't all that worried.
Seeing that Ming Yue insisted on going alone, the old man reluctantly let her go. Still he kept staring at her back until she entered the mountain path, worry could be seen on his face.
As soon as Ming Yue entered the mountain path, she looked around for while before closing her eyes and soon her body disappeared. The moment Ming Yue opened her eyes, she was in Tianshang De Kongjian and was greeted by the four heavenly beast.
"Master! I missed you!" Bai Hu leapt toward her, almost tackling Ming Yue to the ground.
"Be careful you lame cat! Are you trying to hurt Master?!" Qing Long used his tail to coil around Ming Yue's body, protecting her from the overexcited Bai Hu.
Realizing that he almost injured his master, Bai Hu didn't retort Qing Long this time. Instead he gazed apologetically at Ming Yue. "I am sorry Master, I was just too happy to see you." Bai Hu said in dejected tone.
"It's okay. Just be careful next time, okay?" She lifted her hand to pet Bai Hu's head then turned her gaze to Qing Long and smiled gratefully. "Thank you for guarding me, Qing Long."
Seeing Ming Yue's smile, Qing Long was flustered and he coughed slightly to cover it. "It's my duty and honor to serve you, Master." he said coolly.
Zhu Que flew closer, "Have you come to look at the farms and green houses, Master?"
"Yes, I am thinking of taking some of the herbs and ginsengs. I want to sell it right away to make money." Ming Yue said.
"Then I shall help you." Xuan Wu said, his turtle body started to glow and soon he transformed to a person. Ming Yue gaped at the person in front of her. He was wearing yellow colored ancient clothes, long black hair with yellow highlights and he had a pair of emerald eyes!
"You are.. Xuan Wu..?" Ming Yue asked in surprise, gazing the handsome man in front of her, "You can turn into human?"
Seeing the surprise expression on his Master's face, Xuan Wu gave her an evil smirk "Hehe~ Are you surprised, Master~?" He asked in playful tone.
"In fact, All of us can transform into human shape but we forgot to tell you that~ So.. Surpriseee~!" Xuan Wu added, spreading his arms wide playfully.
"Humph, you spoiled it." Qing Long's body glowed and his human shape revealed. Just like Xuan Wu, Qing Long also wore ancient clothes but his clothes was blue instead. He also had long black hair with blue highlights and a pair of yellow eyes.
"Well it's inconvenient to help master using a beast body, isn't it?" Xuan Wu shrugged shamelessly.
"I think you just want to have fun instead of helping Master." Zhu Que said as her body glowed and transformed into human shape. She wore a red female ancient dress. She had long black hair with red highlights and a pair of brown eyes. She looked beautiful!
"As for me, I don't care as long as I am with Master~" Bai Hu grinned as his body glowed and Transformed. He wore white colored ancient clothes. He had long black hair with silver highlights and a pair of blue sky eyes.
Ming Yue just stood there as she was rendered speechless due to seeing their transformations. The world she used to know now shattered into pieces, replaced by this newfound world of fantasy. She was truly in that kind of world now. More over, her heavenly beasts were so handsome and beautiful! They could easily be top models if they entered entertainment circle.
"Master?" Bai Hu bent his body and waved his hand a few times right in front of her face. "Hello? Master? Are you alive?"
*Smack!*
Qing Long smacked the back of Bai Hu's head "Don't be rude to Master."
"Ow! That hurts you stinky lizard! Also I am not being rude, I was just asking since my lady isn't responding!" Bai Hu said in annoyance while rubbing the back of his head.
Ming Yue finally snapped out her daze when she heard smacking sound. Seeing Bai Hu and Qing Long bickered like usual, she finally let out a giggle. "Sorry, I was just in daze. All of you are so handsome and beautiful, it caught me off guard."
The four beasts stared at her for a while before coughing a few times. Hearing their Master complimented their looks, of course they felt happy.
"Now let's get those herbs and ginsengs, Master~" Xuan Wu smiled warmly and walked with Ming Yue by his side while the others followed them from behind.
