[ Vermilion Forest ]
{ Flower Valley }
She came into the cave to check if the two guys were okay, but when she arrived, she was a little surprised to find that the two guys had woken up.
"Can you guys talk?" She asked while looking at both of the beasts. She couldn't sense their cultivation, so she wasn't sure if they were just ordinary beasts or powerful ones. If they were the latter, it means that their realm was very high.
"Mifeng had told us everything about you." The white cat opened its mouth. The voice was low and gentle. The cat's paw pointed to the king bee, who was flying near him. The cat has very pretty sea-blue eyes.
"Thank you!" the black butterfly replied shortly. The voice was also low and pleasing, which made it difficult to distinguish how old he was.
Even though two of them were talking gently, she could sense their distance and indifference.
"How is your injury?" She didn't think much. The small figure sat down on her fluffy carpet in front of them.
"We are fine now!" the black butterfly replied.
"What do you want for us to repay your lifesaving grace?" The white cat didn't want to talk longer, so he cut the line to the important points.
The two beasts were observing her expression. Lianhua opened her red eyes, puzzling.
"Nothing!" she replied dully, and she took out two jade bowls of spiritual spring water and a few bottles of elixir from her space.
"These things are for you." She pushed the things in front of them.
"I have to go now." Since they were okay now, she guessed that they wouldn't need her anymore. Besides, she had to continue her journey.
The beasts were voiceless.
Without waiting for them to reply, she stood up and put the fluffy carpet that she used back into her space.
"Wait!" The white cat finally interrupted her departure when she was about to reach the entrance of the cave.
"huh??" Lianhua turned her head back.
"Don't you want the precious things from us?" the white cat asked deeply while licking his paw elegantly.
"Nope!" she said, shaking her head.
"....." while the cat paused his action. He looked at the black butterfly and the bee king.
"Contract?" the black butterfly asked softly, but his black eyes were cold. He can't guess what this girl wants. He didn't like to be beaten around. He likes being honest.
"Nope." Her answer was still the same.
The beasts looked at each other in shock. They tried to see the real emotion in her blood-red eyes, but her eyes were very pure, without any malice or hypocrisy.
"We are very powerful!" The black butterfly finally couldn't wait to reveal his strength. Contracting them now could benefit her. They were weak now; if she wanted to force a contract with them, they couldn't resist.
The white cat looked at his friend in amazement. His friend was very disgusted to talk to someone, especially a human being. But today, his friend talked more than once. Moreover, this question shouldn't be asked at all, right?
"So?"" she still replied without any emotion.
"Contracting us now will help you a lot!" the white cat replied while he was shaking his long white tail. The cat's tail was like a fox's tail. After I finished speaking, the three guys were speechless, and even Lianhua twitched her mouth.
The white cat was very flabbergasted with himself. What happen? Why would he sound like he wanted her to contract him?
"no!" She waved her hand and took a spiritual fruit from her space to nibble on.
" why?" The white cat and black butterfly both asked in dazed
"Everyone yearned for freedom." she said seriously.
"Don't you think we, as the beasts, deserve it?" One of them asked In people's opinion, aside from those powerful races, the other beasts were just low-life beings. Human beings think very highly of themselves in this world!
(Powerful races: ancient beasts, noble Occamy, majestic dragon, elegance phoenix, mermaid, pure elf, unicorn, white tiger, fairy, angel, chimera)
"What's the difference between humans and beasts?" Everyone has their own right to choose what they love," she replied sternly and seriously.
"The weak have no right to choose!" the black butterfly replied again. This time, his voice was not gentle but cold. He seemed to not believe her logic and tried to test her.
What he said was corrected. The weak really have no right to choose. The weak must obey the strong.
"Then become stronger so no one can force you to do something you don't want to do." Be a phoenix, fly high in the sky, and break the rule.
"All creatures were born to live for themselves just like us, humans." she added, smiling gently.
The two beasts looked at the beautiful, gentle face in shock. The girl wore a long red robe with simple decorations. Her red eyes were shining like a polished gem that was so pure.
The girl's long white hair was scattered behind her back, decorated with a pearl jewelry hair clip, and her pale face was so gentle and dazzling with her smile.
"There was no chain that couldn't be broken," as well as people who imprison your freedom because of their ridicule rules. Break free from those chains that tied your fate. She looked at the high blue sky.
Without waiting for their souls to return, the girl disappeared from the flower valley like a dream.
The beasts could see many emotions in each other's eyes.
It wasn't because they were weak that Lianhua didn't want to contract them, but because Lianhua knew that the beasts yearned for freedom and hated human beings. The beasts also have their own family. They hated being contracted to serve human beings!
Even human hates being used as slave right? Imagine you were walking on the street or sleeping with a chain tied around your neck, who will be so retarted to feel pleasure and happy in this situation?
Just like that time before she fought with the minotaur beast. That time, when she arrived at the mountain where the minotaur beast stayed, she sensed several figures there. She guessed those might be the minotaur's family.
Should she let the minotaur give in to her just because she defeated him?
How could she force someone to serve her just because she needed strength? How could she force them to submit to her just because she was their benefactor and had saved their lives?
If people were unwilling to be with her, why would she force them? If someone was willing to stay with her just to repay her kindness or else, why would she allow them? She wanted someone who was willing to stay with her just because they were willing to stay and be her partners, not because of other reasons!
People might think she was too naive and stupid to choose this, but everyone has their own principles to stick to.
She was from the modern world, and she hated people who used their forces and power to suppress the weak unreasonably. She had seen countless injustices in the world. She knew there was no fairness in the world. But if that was what everyone thought, then why should she be like some of them?
If she does things like them, won't she become like those people? What if she was stupid? She had her own way if she wanted power and strength. Those ridiculous rules couldn't be used by her. But no matter what, she would never have this despicable attitude.
If the rule was set that the weak could only obey the strong, then can she break the rule? Didn't the rule come from humans?
If she couldn't break the world's rule, then could she break the rule just for herself? Using force was not the only way to get power; there were many other choices. It depended on how people would choose.
If the world talks about fairness, then she will talk about her own fairness. If someone doesn't offend or threaten her life, she won't use her power to force them. They respected her, and she will respect them too.
If they touch her bottom line, she will fight back no matter what. Her own rules and her own principles will only be given to people who deserve her respect.
She was not a virgin Mary Sue who was standing there stupidly to let brainless people control her unreasonably.
To make her own principles come through, she must also try to become stronger and stronger so she can live by her own rules.
Besides, she knew the minotaur beast didn't mean to kill her. She didn't sense any malice from him.
He deserved her respect! The white cat and black butterfly were not the bad guys; at least they didn't hurt or devalue her kindness.
Honglian knew everything in her mind because he and she had an ancient soul contract.
He shook his head, and his breathtaking face was smiling tenderly.
Master, your logic was so complicated. You're too kind and soft. But your kindness and softness didn't mean that you were brainless.
Honglian admitted that his master was very soft, and her way of thinking and dealing with things was very different from other human beings.
Honglian never saw someone who was so gentle and kind like Lianhua. There may be many kind and kind-hearted people out there in the outside world, but not many people can have this kind of principle.
There was no fairness in the world. No matter which world and era it was, the rule will always be like that. The weak will be under the strong's suppression and obey the strong.
If you don't want to be suppressed and forced to accept the rule of the world, you have to work hard and become powerful. If you're soft-hearted, you may die anytime. Everyone must use every possible means to reach their goal.
Some people were upright, and some people were despicable, but who cares? If you can't reach your goal, people might step on you at any time. Whether you're dead or alive, who cares about your injustice and your pain? Sometimes people don't care much about your process; they only want to see your result!
But you're also right, master; the so-called rule was created by people. People have their own different perspectives, choices, and priorities. It depended on how they chose. But since people have their own choices and ideas, the master could also live by her own principles. Her top priority was to treat all creatures equally.
Since Master chose this way, Lianlian will always support you.
The more he stayed with her, the more he felt that he loved her to the point that he could not extract himself from her pureness and kindness.
The more he stayed with her, the more he knew that what he used to think about her was not even as deep as the real her.
