Chapter 1637 “Contract Black Turtle (1)”

“Queen.” Black Turtle arches his fist and greets Bai Yan, his smiling face as handsome as ever: “Now that you back, I ask that you contract with me again and make me your familiar.”

Slowly getting up from her seat, “Black Turtle, how much of the past do you remember?”

Even though the Celestial Palace would soon become a thing of the past, Bai Yan’s nevertheless unable to remember all the details from the previous life. All this demon queen knows was that they’re the ones that caused her friends and family to separate, the cause of all her pain and suffering so getting any more detail would be helpful.

“I don’t know anything…” The charming human form of the sacred turtle frowns: “I only got the visions and fragmented dreams from Earth to go by. In those fragments, I saw you, the king, and a man…. I couldn’t make out that person’s face clearly, but I know he’s the one…. who killed me….”

Bai Yan’s finger visibly trembled at that last bit. Gently closing her eyes, a scene gradually reappears in the lady’s head. It’s a battlefield, specifically the battle of Azure Dragon before his death. The young dragon general was dazzling and peerless in his fight against the enemy, but that s.h.i.+ning sun of a man still fell victim to a backstabbing sword from the rear, a spot in which he trusted to be safeguarded thanks to his own allies watching it.

“Do you mean…. besides the Celestial Palace, we also have other enemies in this Celestial Realm?” Bai Yan understands now the one who murdered her precious friends was someone they trusted.

“I don’t know,” shook the guy’s head, “I can’t remember anything. I only know you are my mistress and that person is close to you. As for anything else, I can’t remember anymore.”

Bai Yan did not continue her inquiry anymore, knowing her efforts would be futile since the guy was also a reincarnation like herself.

Perhaps…. the only person left who knows the full story would be….

“Black Turtle, I promised Suzaku that I will bring everyone to her place on the Demon Mountain if I gather all of you. She is waiting for us now.”

“I understand.” Although Black Turtle couldn’t remember anything still, these people whom he cherished the most remains firmly plastered in his heart. As a result, his lips had formed a warm smile without deliberately doing so at the mention of that bird.

“Now let’s start the contract.” Bai Yan closes her eyes to begin after saying that, allowing the man’s finger to reach over to touch her forehead.

Instantly, a surge of energy flowed through into the lady’s mind, imprinting something between the two of them and locking their souls together.

……

Under the blood-colored sky, a young girl dressed in white stood staring down at the stubborn looking young teen lying in front of herself.

“What’s your name?” The girl’s eyes showed pity, yet it was crisp and easy to the ear in light of the att.i.tude.

The teenager’s eyes were stubborn: “Black White.”

“Black White? Your name is really strange, why is it both white and black?” Smiling with her huge grin as she squatted downwards, “I can save you, but you must follow me from now on, okay?”

“Why?”

“Because you are a black turtle ah, and the only remaining one at that. If you follow me then I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”

You follow me and I won’t let anyone hurt you again…

The teenager’s heart shuddered at the idea, his stubborn gaze finally taking a closer look at the girl’s face to discern the truth in that statement. Immediately, their focus locked and the young lad found himself moved by that smile. Without control, he nods and sealed the deal.
