This bath was so relaxing. I stretched and felt so refreshed and happy. I hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.
"Young master, this way." As soon as I stepped out of the bathhouse, the female demons who were waiting came forward to guide me.
"Okay." Before I left, I deliberately glanced at the bathhouse where Feng Su and the others were bathing, which was separated by a huge rock. Sure enough, Feng Su, Hao, and Jin Yu were playing around, while Luo Yongyuan was always quiet on the side.
Seeing me looking at my companions, the female demon beside me quickly and considerately answered, "Young master, rest assured, your friends will be taken to a different room in the same courtyard as you to rest after their bath."
"Okay." I nodded in satisfaction; this arrangement couldn't be better.
Perhaps I was tired from a day's carriage ride or because I had just taken a bath and felt too comfortable, I fell asleep shortly after lying down.
In a half-dream, half-awake state, I vaguely felt someone in the room staring at me with burning eyes. I could feel the intensity of that gaze, but for some reason, I wasn't afraid.
I even vaguely felt that this person was right next to my bed, slowly approaching me. I tried to open my eyes to see, but I couldn't open them at all, and I couldn't move my body as I wanted.
What is this? Sleep paralysis? Are you kidding me? I'm dressed as the Emperor of the Nine Heavens, which ghost would dare to paralyze me? It would probably be reduced to ashes before it even got close.
This person's aura has a strangely familiar yet unfamiliar feel to it; I don't dislike him.
But why? I feel this person getting closer and closer to me. I can even feel a faint, cold breath on my face—is that his breath? Why is it so cold? What is he going to do?
A sudden chill touched my lips, a chill that penetrated to the bone, like a block of ice. The sudden chill made me shiver uncontrollably. Perhaps my shiver startled him, for he quickly pulled away from my lips, but did not leave completely, still quietly watching me. A complex mix of emotions—sadness, resentment, and joy—gradually emanated from him.
I don't know why I don't dislike him. Normally, I would be afraid or disgusted by someone like him, but I would definitely not feel sorry for him like I do now. Why is that? Is it because he has a familiar aura to him?
I racked my brains but couldn't figure out who this familiar aura on him came from.
I don't know how much time passed, but the person seemed to have disappeared. I slowly opened my eyes, and there was nothing around me.
Have they left? I touched my lips; my soft lips were ice-cold. This couldn't be a dream.
Just as I got up, a white circle suddenly appeared in my room. The light from the white circle grew brighter and brighter, so bright that I could hardly open my eyes.
"Sister Xin." A child's voice seemed to come from the white circle. Before I could react, something soft and fluffy hugged my waist.
I forced my eyes open to look, and there was a beautifully sculpted little girl holding me. It took me a while to recognize her. This... isn't this Liu Lieyu's sister? What's she doing here?
As if remembering something, I looked at the white circle again. The white circle slowly dimmed and transformed into a bronze mirror, which flew into the hand of a handsome man.
With white hair, silver eyes, and pale skin, he exudes an extraordinary aura in every gesture.
White hair, silver eyes, a mirror? Isn't this the helper I've been trying to find in Changbai Mountain? So, she really did become Liu Lieyu's sister's mentor?
Nothingness, a manifestation of illusion, is a divine instrument that allows one to perceive all things in the world through a bronze mirror.
