Chapter 161 Night Candle Rules 39 Abnormal!

Ying Yao agreed to Nanmen Jue's suggestion. Without hesitation, he turned around and rushed in the direction Nanmen Jue had left, his figure like a giant bird, quickly disappearing into the dim light.

Nanmen Jue turned his head and first pulled Yu Wanyan, who was surrounded by layers of people, out. "Come with me." Then he turned to look at the mirror image of Yu Wanyan. "You stay here and stay with the others."

“South Gate,” Deng Erhuai said.

Nanmen Jue raised his hand to stop her, "I know you want to help, but these mirror images are no weaker than the original. Don't move around, and don't try to save anyone else. Protect yourselves and hold out until the barrier opens tomorrow."

Deng Erhuai's face showed intense resentment. Nanmen Jue looked at her and actually raised his hand to pat her shoulder.

“In this kind of dungeon, just surviving is good enough; don’t be too hard on yourself.” Her tone was unusually gentle.

While Deng Erhuai and the others were stunned for a moment, Nanmen Jue and Yu Wanyan chased after Ying Yao in the direction of the mirror image. Yu Wanyan's real body was a little slow and even called out to Li San to carry her as they ran.

The others stood still, watching them leave in two groups. Wei Chongru, imitating Nanmen Jue, raised his hand and patted Mo Gui on the shoulder.

The child's silence was unusual.

"Snap out of it, what's wrong?"

"Are you thinking about the answer from the South Gate?" Lu Yunxiao asked.

They all wanted to get to the bottom of Nanmen Jue, but the current situation clearly didn't allow it.

Mo Gui opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse, "I really want to be able to help Brother Jue, just like Ying Yao, and fight alongside him."

“Don’t overthink it. That’s a Golden Name.” Wei Chongru said, “How many people are there in the entire Reincarnation Space? How many are Golden Names? They are people from another world. If we behave well, protect ourselves, and don’t cause them any trouble, we are helping them.”

Mo Gui turned around blankly, "Is this what you call helping?"

“Why don’t you call out?” Wei Chongru chuckled. “You kids are so timid. You feel ashamed and resentful to be protected as the weak. But there are always people stronger than you who are willing to protect you. Just be grateful. Why think so much?”

“…It’s not because of pride,” Mo Gui said.

"Really?" Wei Chongru had already started setting out candles on the ground, adopting a defensive stance. "Then tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Gui remained silent, gazing into the distance in the direction Nanmen Jue had left. The figure was long gone, but the boy's eyes, reflecting the dim candlelight, shone brightly.

...

"Wow, Brother Jue, is this a date just for the two of us?"

After jumping over a boulder the size of a small mountain, Yu Wanyan said with a grin.

This eerie realm is perpetually dark, devoid of sun, moon, stars, wind, thunder, rain, or snow. Yet, they move with incredible speed. The flowing air currents lift the girl's bangs as she leans close to Nanmen Jue in the puppet's arms, her bright eyes and white teeth gleaming faintly in the darkness.

"How many times do I have to say it before you understand? I'm not a pedophile!" Nanmen Jue was completely exasperated, and his cold expression cracked slightly at those words.

"So what if I'm two years younger? I have a great figure, what am I lacking compared to so-called adults?"

Nanmen Jue simply pursed his lips.

Yu Wanyan watched her silently for a while amidst the bumpy ride, then smiled.

This smile was different from the others; it was somewhat calm and wistful. "In this kind of world, you're the only one who still cares whether I'm a minor or not."

Her voice was very soft, but Nanmen Jue had exceptional hearing; she heard it but remained silent.

Yu Wanyan wasn't satisfied and said with a grin, "When I turn 18 in two years, can you let me be your girlfriend?"

“Yu Wanyan, we are not on friendly terms,” Nanmen Jue said coldly. “I have my reasons for not killing you now, and you should not forget that.”

Yu Wanyan's expression froze.

"So heartless?" she said softly. "If I just slept with you, would you still be willing to hurt me?"

Nanmen Jue remained silent.

Yu Wanyan waited for a while, then shrank back into the puppet's arms. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into a tirade of curses.

"You stinking man! I don't know how long it's been since you showered. Even cleaning tools are no good. You stink! Your whole body reeks of disgust. What are you so proud of? You're always trying to eat swan meat like a toad. Don't you ever take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You shameless bastard! I'd be disgusted even if you made a puppet!"

Amidst Yu Wanyan's curses, they gradually approached the mirror image of Ying Yao.

Nanmen Jue knew how strong Ying Yao's stealth abilities were, but she was not very good at it and had also learned a few tricks. If Ying Yao hadn't trusted Nanmen Jue's abilities, he wouldn't have accepted the proposal to exchange opponents.

They cornered Mirror Image Yingyao in a relatively deserted area. Because they were chasing him closely, Mirror Image Yingyao hadn't had a chance to kill anyone yet.

Nanmen Jue gripped the white bone knife. "Ying Yao said that there are only two people in this cycle of reincarnation who are my opponents: Zhang Jin and him. What do you think, imposter?"

The mirror image of Ying Yao grinned with an exaggerated, clown-like smile, which, in the dim light, had a somewhat horror movie feel to it. "Nanmen Jue, do you love my original self?"

Love? The word was too emotionally charged, and Nanmen Jue narrowed his eyes.

"He must love you so much, do you know why I know?" Mirror Image Yao suddenly rushed towards Nanmen Jue, "Because I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely hate you! This hatred is burning me up. There are only two ways to end this hatred: one is to kill you, and the other is to eat you!"

Yu Wanyan was pushed aside, and as she listened to these rumors, her face turned ashen. "Nanmen Jue, are you surrounded by perverts?!"

"Don't talk nonsense," Nanmen Jue said. "The more abnormal he is, the more normal Ying Yao himself is."

Is he normal? How big of a heart does one have to think that someone who loves you so much that they want to kill or eat you is normal? Yu Wanyan's face turned even greener. Anger rose in her heart, and she didn't care that her opponent was a person of great strength. She swung a machete and charged forward.

"You idiot Nanmen Jue!" she roared as she hacked, "Who are you calling a minor? You're the one who looks like a minor!"

Nanmen Jue wanted to retort, but the battle was so intense that she couldn't concentrate for the moment.

Forget it. She thought. At least Yu Wanyan was fighting on her side, not on the side of Jing Yao, who wanted to finish her off without hesitation.

The battle between Jin Ming and others was evenly matched for the time being, but with the addition of Yu Wanyan and her puppet, the mirror image Ying Yao was clearly suppressed. It had the opposite cunning of the real Ying Yao, and after realizing that it could not win, it simply fled.

So Nanmen Jue started chasing again.

This guy is too cunning, which made Nanmen Jue quite angry. She couldn't help but wonder how Ying Yao was doing, whether he had killed her mirror image. If Ying Yao killed her mirror image but she failed to kill his, that would be too embarrassing!

They fought and chased each other, chasing and chasing each other again. Yu Wanyan and her puppet were only orange-named, so they couldn't keep up with them. Nanmen Jue was like a crocodile that had bitten its prey, clinging tightly to the mirror image of Ying Yao.

When something blocked her way, she instinctively kicked it away, yelling, "Get out of the way!"

The kick landed on something solid, but the sensation was strange...

"Daytime is bright?" Nanmen Jue said in surprise.

What stood in her way was not Zhou Yiming himself, but his reflection.

Mirror Image Yao also stopped. It smiled behind Mirror Image Zhou Yiming, looking at Nanmen Jue with ill intent.

“You…” Nanmen Jue realized something was wrong.

This mirror image of Zhou Yiming isn't here to help her; it's here to help the mirror image of Ying Yao!

Nanmen Jue was somewhat incredulous, but she remained calm and asked, "Where is your true form? Is no one taking care of you?"

“That’s my real body, not my jailer. How can he control me? Does he even have the power to control me?” Mirror Image Zhou Yiming scoffed lightly, giving Nanmen Jue a flippant look. “You’re Nanmen Jue? I came here specifically to see you.”

"What do you want to see me for?" Nanmen Jue said. "Could it be that he also loves me so much that you couldn't control your hatred and wanted to kill me?"

She said that on purpose, since everyone knew that the feud between Nanmen Jue and Zhou Yiming had become quite serious.

Killing Cheng Xiuye ​​in front of Zhou Yiming was tantamount to slapping Zhou Yiming in the face in public. How could such a proud and arrogant person bear such humiliation?

However, Nanmen Jue also had some doubts. If Zhou Yiming hated her, then according to the opposite law, this mirror image should like her. But she wasn't stupid. She couldn't see any liking in those semi-transparent eyes. Instead, they were full of malice, just like the mirror image Ying Yao.

Could it be that Zhou Yiming doesn't hate her?

“You’re right, he loves you,” said Mirror Daylight.

"...What?" Nanmen Jue knew she must look incredibly silly, but she couldn't control herself; her tone changed. "He loves me? Is he a masochist?"

The mirror image of Zhou Yiming chuckled eerily twice. Nanmen Jue thought that if the real Zhou Yiming were here, he would definitely want to punch the mirror image to pieces, destroying its aloof and immortal-like aura.

Although Zhou Yiming was quite annoying, Nanmen Jue's aesthetic sense was not wrong. He did have a good face, but when that face was placed on the mirror image, it looked strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Didn't expect that, did you? I didn't expect it either, but considering there's something wrong with him, it's not surprising." Mirror Zhou Yiming pointed to his head.

"You're talking nonsense!" Nanmen Jue couldn't help but say. "He's tried to kill me several times, and you call that love?"

“Hmm… saying I love you isn’t quite right, after all, I don’t hate you.” Mirror Zhou Yiming shrugged and said in a slick tone, “He cares about you, little guy. He wants you dead, but he also wants to collect you and let you live well.”

“…I didn’t understand,” Nanmen Jue said coldly.

Ying Yao burst out laughing, "You don't even understand this? You're not like a man at all. You can't even see through this little trick?"

Nanmen Jue remained silent.

Mirror Zhou Yiming also smiled, raising his hand to touch Nanmen Jue's face in an ambiguous way, "He's sexually repressed, you know? He likes people who are strong enough to trample him underfoot, but he's too embarrassed to show it. He always looks like he's suffering and resentful towards everyone. I'm different, I'm very open."

Nanmen Jue couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed the mirror image of Zhou Yiming's wrist and twisted it hard.

"What kind of nonsense is this? Get out of here!"

She roared and, ignoring the two mirror images of the Golden Name Realm experts standing in front of her, charged forward and started fighting!

She has never been so full of martial spirit!
