Later in the night,
Mother Bing summoned Hou and miss Lily behind the courtyard.
When they arrived, mother Bing was standing next to the big circle formation array with the different ancient symbols and runes engraved. There were also a few beast cores along with few gems placed inside the circle.
Mother Bing stared at miss Lily and asked in a chilly voice.
"Miss Lily, Are you loyal to Hou and plan to serve him with your whole life?"
Her question baffled Miss Lily as she wondered why she asked her this question.
But at once she remembered it must have something to do with the earlier event so she hastily nodded her head in fear.
"Yes, madam Bing, I swear to stay loyal and serve young master Hou with my whole life."
Mother Bing relaxed and stared at both Hou and miss Lily.
After she motioned them to enter inside the middle of the formation circle.
She also entered inside and looked at dazed Hou, clueless about her intentions.
Then she swiftly held his hand and made a small cut on his hand with the small knife before taking a few drops of his blood in the bowl.
Afterwards, she passed it to miss Lily and came out from the formation alone.
Later, She activated the formation and she spoke to Miss Lily.
"Lily, drink the blood from the bowl and hold both of his hand."
Miss Lily finally realized what was happening right now.
Mother Bing was holding the ritual for master and servant bounded by life and death contract between them.
With a complicated expression, she peeked at Hou before reluctantly drank his blood from the bowl and accepted her fate.
Once she finished drinking, the formation started to glow, lights surrounded them before heavenly Qi started to gather inside their body.
Afterwards, their soul moved out of the body and floated above them.
As soon as that happened, their soul merged and formed as one soul.
However, it looked like a big soul ate the other small soul, the big soul was Hou's while the small soul was Lily's.
Later it gradually pulled apart from each other.
Before parting apart, the big soul left a small golden marking behind on the small.
When the mark completed, gradually their soul returned to their body.
Just as it would complete, the flickering colourful fire within Hou's eyes shone in bright like twinkling stars.
Suddenly a purple fire among them seep out and move toward Lily before devouring her body, while Hou lost his conscious.
After a while, Lily slowly opened her eyes but the sight in front horrified her.
The colourful flames were raging madly in front of her.
She could only see enormous colourful flames surrounding her.
This colourful flames looked like what she had seen today within Hou's eye.
While she wondered what happened, an indistinct voice came out of nowhere.
"Are you willing to form Rebirth Master-Servant contract?"
Lily glanced around everywhere to find the voice's origin. But, she couldn't pinpoint at all. She asked in a loud voice while still fearing her surrounding.
The indistinct voice replied.
"What is this Rebirth Master-Servant contract?"
"Once this contract bounds someone, Servant's Life and soul will bound to master forever."
"And, as long as the master doesn't die, the servant will rebirth again and again but only if the master desired it."
"So what will you choose?"
Lily thought for a while before asking the question she had.
"Am I forming this Rebirth master-servant contract with Hou? and what if decline?"
"Yes, you'll form this contract with Hou. and if you decline, you'll never return and be burn here alive." The indistinct voice indifferently replied to her.
As soon as Lily heard the last sentence, It terrified her beyond words.
With a helpless emotion, she accepted since she already has established the master-servant contract with Hou.
Once she accepted it, the purple flame engulfed her completely.
Meanwhile, Mother Bing looked at unconscious Hou and trying to figure out what went wrong and why was Lily devoured by the purple fire.
Just as she tried to pick up Hou.
Suddenly Hou opened his eyes before a purple fire flashed out and floated above him.
Soon the purple fire took a shape into a figure of a body.
Slowly it transformed into Lily while her attribute started to change into the purple fire. Her Realm also rapidly kept raising up while she was forming her body back.
Peak Stage Spirit Origin Realm
Early Stage Earth Origin Realm
Mid-Stage Earth Origin Realm
High Stage Earth Origin Realm
Peak Stage Earth Origin Realm
Early Stage Sky Origin realm
Mid-Stage Sky Origin realm
...
.....
Peak Stage Heavenly Origin Realm.
Finally, her Realm stopped at Peak Stage Heavenly Origin Realm. Then she opened her eyes. She looked around her body and found herself naked. There was a small colourful phoenix shape tattoo in her chest. Then she checked her body and realm, the result truly amazed her and felt very happy.
While Mother Bing watched everything with her eyes wide open.
She became astonished and speechless about how Lily kept breaking through her Realm.
Finally snapping out of it, she softly looked her Hou and turn her toward Lily and said.
"Lily, Now you are finally his servant, I don't have to worry about you anymore. Even so, you must never reveal to anyone about today. From starting today, you'll stay with Hou and never leave him from your sight."
"Take Hou back to his room and don't forget to take him to the clan library tomorrow."
Afterwards, she left Lily and Hou and entered her room while trying to process everything she saw.
