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...
No, I'd rather die!
Upon hearing the conversation between Xiao Jingzi and Fang Ruotang, Rong Xing immediately spoke up to answer.
He couldn't possibly harm Fang Ruotang just to vent his anger. If he sought out other women, it would mean losing Fang Ruotang, and she would either burn or freeze to death. Clearly, she was a consumable item that could only be used once.
Rong Xing may not be a saint, but he is not so selfish and callous as to be this extreme.
Most importantly, he had no desire to touch other women.
Is this the only solution? Are there no other options?
Fang Ruotang panicked, and her mind went blank for a moment.
She liked Rong Xing, but the thought of her selflessly dying for him made her feel less fond of him, since her own life was more important.
Moreover, judging from what Xiao Jingzi said, even if she couldn't bear to see Rong Xing die and sacrificed herself to save him, she could only save him once. What about after that?
[Not at the moment. After all, with their current cultivation level, it's almost impossible for them to control a different kind of fire and use it for their own purposes.]
【Almost impossible, but still possible, right? You said, maybe I can help him!】 Fang Ruotang had a mysterious confidence in herself.
The little mirror answered, puzzled.
"Didn't you just say you didn't want to help him?"
【when?】
The conversation between the two alerted the other six people, especially Rong Xing, who suddenly had an absurd idea.
Could it be that Fang Ruotang is alright?
[So you're just venting your anger? Didn't you say you didn't want to help him? Why don't you ask him if there are any other ways?]
[You mean I can?]
Fang Ruotang asked cautiously.
The little mirror answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Of course, it's just a mere strange fire; how could you possibly be unable to withstand it?
Fang Ruotang: ...
Didn't you say you were going to die?
[Yes! Others would certainly die if their cultivation wasn't high enough! But you are not just anyone; there is no strange fire in this world that you cannot control.]
【Oh……】
Fang Ruotang laughed in anger, and then a strong desire rose in her heart. Under this desire, she pulled the small mirror out of her sea of consciousness.
First, he slapped me twice across the face, then threw me on the ground and stomped on me all over the place, cursing as he did so.
"I'll teach you to speak unclearly, I'll teach you to tease me."
The two of them have been together for so long.
Fang Ruotang knew perfectly well that the little mirror was doing this on purpose!
"Ahhhh! My lord, my lord, what's going on? How did I get out? How did I get out?" Little Mirror's voice trembled.
After all, he had committed too many evil deeds in the past, and he could not leave Fang Ruotang's sea of consciousness. Nowhere was safe except in her sea of consciousness.
"Tell me why you came out. Let's see if you dare talk to me like that again next time."
"I was wrong, I was wrong, sir, I won't do it again, I'll never do it again."
Fang Ruotang tidied up the small mirror, venting the fear and anger that had just risen in her heart, before picking it up and examining it.
The small mirror is a handheld dressing mirror with an ornate design. The mirror body and handle are inlaid with various gemstones, and she can detect the energy within the gemstones.
However, this gemstone is not a spirit stone, and it may not be an energy stone from the cultivation world at all, but the color is quite beautiful.
"Master, it hurts so much!"
The little mirror's pitiful voice rang out.
Fang Ruotang replied with disdain.
"Come on, I used brute force, it didn't hurt you at all."
Although she didn't know what kind of energy stone the small mirror was made of, she could sense the abundant power inside. Not to mention the few times she stomped on it with brute force, even if she used spiritual power to hit it, she couldn't hurt it at all.
"The adults hit me, can't I even feel a little pain?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you dare to talk to me like that again on such an important matter, I'll hit you again, and next time it won't be so easy."
Fang Ruotang's words were full of warnings.
The little mirror immediately wilted and dared not cause any more trouble.
Because of Fang Ruotang's connection with the little mirror, others couldn't hear her. So, in the eyes of Li Qiuheng and the others, they saw her performing a pantomime with extremely rich expressions, and then she took out a mirror and started stomping and cursing.
Li Qiuheng's gaze fell on the mirror, and his eyes lit up immediately. He asked cautiously, "Sect Master Fang, may I take a look at this magical artifact in your hand?"
"No way!" Fang Ruotang refused without even thinking. After using a few Cleansing Dust Techniques, she reluctantly put the small mirror back into her sea of consciousness.
As soon as the little mirror entered the sea of consciousness, it came to life like a fish entering the ocean.
[Hey, I can do it! I can do it again!]
What just happened?
Gu Yanjin and the other five asked similar questions one after another, since they had all lost contact with Fang Ruotang during the same period.
At that moment, I was extremely flustered.
The six of them even set off in unison, heading towards Fang Ruotang's location.
Just as they set off, a sound came from the small mirror again.
Little Mirror kept his mouth tightly shut. He would never tell the six masters that the adults could drag him out. What if these six people whispered in the masters' ears?
The six lords are not going to just touch him; they might throw him into the furnace to be reforged.
It was nothing, I just beat him up.
When Fang Ruotang answered Gu Yanjin and the other six, she waved to Li Qiuheng and said, "I have something to do now, so I'll leave first. After you've finished catching up with Yin Yue, please send her to Tianyi Sect!"
"Hey, Sect Leader Fang, we still have something to discuss with you." Li Qiuheng immediately spoke up, stopping Fang Ruotang who was about to leave.
"What is it?" Fang Ruotang turned around and asked impatiently.
The longer the strange fire burned in his body, the more suffering Rong Xing endured. She couldn't wait to fly to Rong Xing's side and make love to him.
"We've heard that your sect is collecting materials to rebuild Yin Yue's physical body, and our weapon-refining sect would also like to contribute."
“Alright, then go to Tianyi Sect. The Mission Hall has all the information about what materials you need and where to find them. Once you get there, contact Jin Wuyou, the steward of Tianyi Sect, and explain your purpose. She will make the necessary arrangements.”
“…Okay.” Li Qiuheng knew it would be easy, but he didn’t expect it to be this easy.
"Are you alright now? If you're alright, I'm leaving."
After Fang Ruotang finished speaking, she didn't care what Li Qiuheng replied. She took out her spirit boat and disappeared from the sight of the weapon-refining sect members in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the spirit boat set sail, the little mirror sensibly pointed out Rong Xing's location.
[Sir, should we focus on tension?]
No rush, things are more important with each task at hand.
But he's right here.
...
Did I hit you too lightly when I hit you just now?
The little mirror shut up and kept marking things.
Fang Ruotang maneuvered the spirit boat into a dive, and before Zhang Li could react, she had already activated the secret realm and thrown him inside.
