Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
Gu Nancheng could hear all six people talking, but he was too busy stomping on his eyes to reply.
Yes, after mouths can attack people on their own, eyeballs can too, and these eyeballs are extremely disgusting, wanting to crawl into their bodies.
They all had sharp teeth in their mouths, and they wanted to bite him as soon as they came up. He could tell what they were up to at a glance, but he really couldn't understand how their eyes could hurt people, nor did he dare to understand.
I dare not let a single eyeball touch my body. If it does, it'll grow on him, and then what will I do?
Fang Ruotang doesn't have any unusual hobbies.
If he had even one strange eye, he felt Fang Ruotang would have abandoned him immediately; she was the kind of person who would do such a thing.
Even if I don't do it directly, I definitely won't touch him again in the future, which is no different from abandoning him.
Fang Ruotang, whose hearing was too good, put a talisman on herself with some distress, which made her feel a little better. The world immediately became quiet, and this did not prevent her from communicating with the other five people in her sea of consciousness.
What are you doing right now?
Gu Yanjin glanced around; he had finally found a mutated tree to deal with.
Yes, it was hard-won.
The monsters of this desert have disappeared.
Huo Zhige finally managed to track down a demon that could burrow underground. He chased after it, leaping and bounding, wanting to kill it and steal its demon core.
They can't use the demon cores, but they can sell them.
At worst, you can put it in the mission hall as a reward.
They started from too high a point; the things that Xiao Jingzi casually took out were treasures that cultivators in the Cloud Deep Continent could only dream of.
Therefore, they didn't care much for the spoils they captured when they went out.
Then it's easy to get the idea of throwing these things to the mission hall and giving them to the disciples inside the sect, since they're all Fang Ruotang's tools anyway, and it won't benefit anyone else.
[Nothing much, just enjoying the scenery!]
Huo Zhige immediately started lying, and the other four didn't expose him, tacitly agreeing with his answer.
Fang Ruotang was afraid that if they said they were fighting monsters, she would reply, "Let them fight properly and concentrate on fighting," and then cut off the communication without any mercy.
[What's so interesting about all this yellow sand? If you're not going back to Dayong first, find a cave and hide away! Don't get sunburned and look ugly.]
Huo Zhige froze, looked up at the sun high in the sky, and then looked down at the wheat-colored skin on his arm.
He rarely frowned. He too had a time when he was delicate and tender. It was only in order to survive that he ran around the General's Mansion, making people notice that there was a child like him in the General's Mansion.
But later, due to a change in his family circumstances, he was taken to the battlefield by his grandfather and never returned empty-handed. Not only that, he also developed a strong and robust physique.
【……OK! 】
Huo Zhige glanced at the monster he had already crippled, then decisively turned and left. In any case, the monster was of low level and had a weak demon core, so killing it wouldn't be of much use.
He wasn't the only one who shared his thoughts.
The sun in this desert is incredibly strong; it's practically scorching.
I'm done, let's move on to the next level!
Gu Nancheng's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
Fang Ruotang turned around and saw Gu Nancheng standing behind her. She raised her hand to remove the protective shield and put away the talisman on her body before she could communicate with him normally.
"Has everything been resolved?"
Fang Ruotang looked around cautiously and, seeing nothing disgusting, breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she turned her gaze to Gu Nancheng, looking him up and down. He was clean and tidy, his clothes were different, and he had a pleasant fragrance emanating from him.
Fang Ruotang's gaze fell on the pouch hanging at his waist, which contained spices, hence the embellishment. She didn't want to ask why Gu Nancheng would bother to dress up in a place like this.
The answer is definitely something she doesn't want to know.
Seeing that Gu Nancheng was not injured, she said, "Let's go to the next level!"
“Okay!” Gu Nancheng came up and took Fang Ruotang’s hand.
Fang Ruotang immediately pretended nothing had happened and raised her hand to tuck her hair back, perfectly missing Gu Nancheng's outstretched hand.
Gu Nancheng looked at Fang Ruotang with a pitiful expression.
"My hands aren't dirty."
"I didn't say your hands were dirty!"
Fang Ruotang stared wide-eyed, lying without batting an eye.
Gu Nancheng gave Fang Ruotang a deep look, but Fang Ruotang straightened her chest, showing no sign of guilt. In the end, Gu Nancheng gave in.
"I'm really not dirty."
That was the only way he could emphasize it.
Fang Ruotang pretended not to understand.
Anyway, she's traumatized now.
Some things are more vivid in our imagination precisely because we haven't seen them.
Adding to the fact that Gu Nancheng tried to cover up his actions, Fang Ruotang had even more to think about. Just the thought of Gu Nancheng's hands touching those things made her want to throw away Gu Nancheng, let alone hold his hand.
The two of them arrived at the next level one after the other.
Gu Nancheng could tell that Fang Ruotang didn't even ask what the reward was, so she thought it was dirty and didn't want it.
But thinking about it, it really is dirty.
A transparent fruit grew under the tree. He had just quietly asked Little Mirror, and it turned out to be a crystal fruit that could make people invisible for a short time.
Gu Nancheng would never dare let Fang Ruotang eat something like that.
The sixth level looks quite simple: a long, dark river with flower-shaped red mist on both sides. In this kind of place, red, or rather, blood, is the color of blood.
There is a long little bridge in the middle, which seems like it would be easy to walk to the other side.
Fang Ruotang looked around and realized that this level was not so easy. This was already the sixth level. Although the previous five levels were not difficult for her, they were still quite challenging.
"this……"
Gu Nancheng stared at the blood mist and tossed a piece of pork over.
The previously quiet blood mist suddenly transformed into a giant mouth, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and swallowed the whole piece of pork.
Gu Nancheng and Fang Ruotang both widened their eyes at the same time.
It's not that I find the blood mist eating meat scary, but rather that this thing has no physical form, so where does the pork you eat go? You can't see it at all.
Moreover, the moment the pork was swallowed, the blood mist returned to its flower shape, blooming beautifully in the Black River, appearing harmless.
"How...how do we get there?" Gu Nancheng was a little embarrassed. He thought for a moment but couldn't come up with a solution, so he looked at Fang Ruotang.
Fang Ruotang frowned slightly, said nothing, and took a step forward.
Gu Nancheng reacted quickly and pulled the person back.
"Tell me, how should I do it?"
Fang Ruotang looked at Gu Nancheng and said innocently, "I don't know either! I'm prepared to fight head-on. Someone as capable as me shouldn't be able to catch me."
"Going to gamble?"
Gu Nancheng was dumbfounded. If it weren't Fang Ruotang who said those words, he would have cursed. Is this something to bet on?
She stretched out her leg, the monster opened its mouth, and she lost one of her legs.
“Yes! Do you have a better idea?” Fang Ruotang asked Gu Nancheng, who was stumped.
