The sudden change in Lei's warmth affected me a bit.
"Hey, just because you're rich doesn't mean you can oppress me. I don't want to spend any more time in your car. Bye" I said.
I really felt that he doesn't deserve any appreciation.
"He helped me" I thought.
I wanted to turn my back and say "thank you" but he had already zoomed off.
"Anyhoo" I muttered.
I walked to Emily's block with the hope that she wouldn't be worried sick about me. I opened the door slowly and scrutinized the whole room. Emily was not there.
I was about to check the other rooms when I felt something in me.
I closed my eyes to analyze what I felt when I saw a familiar frail figure worried. It was Emily. Where was she and why can I see her?
"She is in the outskirts of Jianchung and you can see her because I have eyes all over the city" a voice said
Wait, what is going on? First, I can see visions and glimpses of the past and now I can hear voices and apparently it has eyes all over the city.
"Identity yourself" I ordered.
After a long pause, it talked.
"I'm Luna Qiu. I'm your fox companion and I can grant you powers" It replied.
"What the! Since when do I have a fox spirit companion? What do you want from me?" I asked.
"You have always have me in you since the day you were reborn into this world. I do not want anything from you but you have been chosen by great goddess Ling Virera. When your soul was lost in the spirit realm, your soul piqued Virera's interest. You died unjustly mandatory so did she.
I've been Virera's companion and now she transferred her powers and me to you immediately you got into this world so you can achieve what you yearn for" Luna explained.
"Why didn't you show yourself since?" I asked.
"Virera gave me specific orders to show myself when you turn twenty two but I made an exception for you because your eagerness to get what you want is bit over the top and it might land you in troubke" Luna said.
"I want my rights immediately and I want to hunt down those who betrayed me in the past. Anyways, you mentioned something about your goddess transferring her powers to me. What powers did she have?" I asked.
"Min, that is for you to find out. You'll get the visions of Virera and when the time comes, you'll get her full power but for now, you need to train to get her basic powers" Luna explained.
This is just like "Isekai". I'm a reborn goddess with fox like powers. Get ready haters, a new Zhao Min has arrived and she is here to take everything from you.
" When do I start my training Luna" I asked.
"Anytime you wish Min" She replied.
"I'll rather you call me Lyra. That namegives me the creeps when I hear anyone call me that. Hey Luna, am I the only one that has powers in the world?" I questioned.
"I do not have Intel on those who have powers and those who do not. You are my only task Lyra" She answered.
"Oh okay. Wait, what's Emily doing in the outskirts of Jianchung?" I asked.
"She is looking for you" She replied.
As expected of Emily. Getting worried over random and baseless matters. Let me give her a call.
"Hey Emily. Where you at?" I asked.
"Where were you Lyra? I was worried sick and here you are calling me as if everything is fine. Not cool Lyra" She answered angrily.
I know she'll be missed over it. Classic Emily.
"I'm so sorry Miss. Wang. I'm at your place. Come home and I'll explain want happened" I said.
"Okay. Do not go wandering off again" She replied like an old grandmother before hanging up the call.
"She is a good friend unlike the other one" Luna growled.
"Do not remind me of her. Her thought alone strikes a glint of disgust in me. I hate everything about her" I retorted.
Zhilan Xue, my scheming bossom buddy from the past. She is the type of person that carries an innocent look but is actually dangerous.
FLASHBACK...XXX
"Min, come to my place. It's much safer there" Xue said.
"Thank you Xue. You are the only one that cares about me. Let's go" I replied.
While we were walking to Xue house, we were cornered by some group of men holding pitch forks and broom fire.
"Xue, what's going on here?" I asked.
"It's her. She is the one you are looking for. She is Zhao Min. Seize her" Xue shouted.
I was shocked for a bit and was momentarily loss for a bit before I could phantom what was going on.
It was Xue double crossing me.
"Xue, you snake. After everything I've do e for you. You chose to repay with me with this form of betrayal. I trusted you Xue" I said.
"You speak about trust like you deserve it or you own it. All is fair in love and war. In order to get what I want, you must be eliminated. You stole the love of my life from me by being engaged to him and you stole the attention I deserve..The town was all about you. I was always seen as a shadow and a nobody next to you" Xue screamed.
"Is that what you felt during the moment of out friendship?" I asked.
"Yes...that's what I felt. Do you know the best part? I took everything away from you one by one till I took your life away and your fiancé and I were in cahoots. Say goodbye Min...Your Fiancé is mine. The village respects me and most especially I have the full attention I deserve. I wish you never rest in peace" Xue screamed....
END OF FLASHBACK...XXXX
That was a little part of how I died in my past life. I wonder what I ever did to Xue to deserve that much hatred. I didn't take anything away from her.
I will exact my revenge on them with my new powers. Get ready Zhilan Xue....Lyra Li is coming for you
