Rebirth : A Woman With Frozen Heart novel Chapter 45

Tianshang De Kongjian..

Ling Mao was lying on the floor of a pavilion that was surrounded by moon lake, the night breeze felt so comfortable on her black fur. Ling Mao was accepted--even though still on probation, by the four beasts. She didn't mind what status she got as long as she could be by her lady side. It was because Ling Mao understood her status as a person from demon realm, of course it couldn't be compared to the four heavenly beasts, the guardians of heaven. What surprised Ling Mao was the fact that the four beasts decided to be by Lady Chang'e's side instead of Heavenly Emperor.

Lying while recalling the past, Ling Mao remembered the time when she first met Lady Chang'e. At that time, she was dying in Sanjiaoxing forest after she was cast aside for being a failure. Among all the witch clan, Ling Mao was mediocre.

A little kitten was lying on the ground, the body was full of wounds. The little kitten had resigned itself to be a meal for magical beasts in that forest, maybe it was better to die than lived a life being scorned and bullied by its clan. Yes... death would be a better salvation..

"Oh my, what a poor being."

A soft voice, cool yet sounded gentle could be heard then a gentle caress followed. The little kitten felt its body slowly became warm, opening its eyes, the little kitten saw an ethereal beauty smiling gently at it. The wound on its body slowly recovering and soon the little kitten's head perked up, it wanted to feel more of the woman's gentle hand.

"Do you have a name, little one?" Asked the woman, still caressing its head.

The little kitten looked down, didn't want to answer because its name had only one meaning.

DEFECT..

Seeing the little kitten's reluctance, the woman with ethereal beauty that was out of this world spoke, "Ling Mao.."

The little kitten's ears twitched slightly, its head was lifted and its eyes met the woman's tender gaze. "Your name is Ling Mao, meaning.. 'Clever Cat'"

Clever cat..

No longer 'Defect'..

Tears formed on its eyes, one by one fell to the ground. The little kitten stuck out its tongue, licking the woman's hand many times. It accepted the name which was bestowed by her.

"Do you want to break free?" Asked the woman, letting the little kitten licked her hand. "Do you want to break away from your weak self?"

The little kitten nodded and the woman lowered both her hands, spread it slightly. "Then come with me. I will grant you power to create the new you, together.. we shall create more miracles for those who are like you.." The woman smiled brightly.

The woman's smile looked so bright in little kitten's view, just like moonlight, shining so bright in the darkness of night, guiding the lost and the weak, giving them courage to walk on their path. The little kitten used its remaining strength to jump into the woman's arms. Soon it was enveloped within her warm and gentle embrace.

"My name is Chang'e, pleasure to meet you.. Mao Mao.."

That was the first meeting of Moon Goddess, Chang'e and her little demon cat of witch clan, Ling Mao. Their meeting became the start of Chang'e's journey of guiding the lost and the weak, giving them the power to break away from their miserable fate and started a new life.

"Hm?" Ling Mao's head perked up as she suddenly felt an epiphany. A bad feeling welled up within her.

"Mao Mao, what are you doing here?" Zhu Que used qinggong and flew to her side.

"I was resting here and suddenly felt an epiphany." Ling Mao answered and her body shone bright. The black cat transformed into a nine years old little girl, with long and black silky hair and bang covered her forehead. She was adorned in light pink ancient clothes.

"You can transformed?" Zhu Que asked, clearly surprised of what she just saw.

Ling Mao nodded and gave the older woman a cute smile, "I have been cultivating in my slumber!" She said cheerfully before jumping toward the lake and floating on top of the water. Biting her two fingers, she pointed it forward and moved it elegantly, forming an enchantment seal. Soon water from where she stood, swirling into a small hurricane, moving upward and forming an oval shape of water mirror. The mirror showed three glimpse of pictures. Blood, medium sized incense burner and purple snake.
