Because what you see in the mirror is a pure white expanse, delicate collarbones, rounded shoulders, and the unique softness and delicacy of a woman's body are displayed to the fullest.
Although the two of them were completely naked together at the Hundred Flowers Palace, he was under the influence of drugs for most of the time. When he woke up, everything happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to appreciate anything.
Seeing him staring blankly at the mirror while two streams of blood flowed from his nose, Bi Linglong hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it away, her face full of tension and worry: "What's wrong with you? Are you injured or poisoned?"
But with her movements, Zuan's nose started bleeding even more.
"Ah Zu, don't scare me." Bi Linglong's face turned pale, and she hurriedly came over to check what was wrong with him. Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of the mirror in his hand.
Her expression was blank at first, then she let out a cry, covered her chest with both hands, her pretty face flushed red, and looked at him with a mixture of shame and anger.
Zuan finally came to his senses: "It was all an accident, an accident... I didn't know this thing would suddenly have this effect."
"Don't point that mirror at me!" Bi Linglong's voice was almost choked with tears. Her girlish instinctive modesty left her mind blank, and she had no idea what to do.
Zuan hurriedly put the mirror away: "I didn't react in time."
Bi Linglong bit her red lips tightly, staring intently at him, as if she were about to pounce on him and bite him.
Zuan muttered under his breath, "It's not like I haven't seen it before..."
"What did you say?" Bi Linglong's eyebrows shot up immediately.
"It's nothing, haha," Zu'an took out the Qin King's Mirror again and handed it over, "How about I take a look at you, then we'll call it a draw?"
Bi Linglong was originally full of resentment and embarrassment and wanted to confront him, but his words broke her defenses and she couldn't help but chuckle. However, she immediately straightened up and turned to the side: "Who cares about looking at you!"
"It's your own fault for not looking. You'll miss this opportunity if you don't look now." Zuan handed the mirror over again.
"I won't look!" Bi Linglong was somewhat impressed by this guy. How could he be so shameless? She wanted to lash out, but found it difficult to actually get angry. This guy is truly my nemesis.
Just then, a cold snort came from behind: "Have you two finished flirting? Hurry up and come over here."
The two looked up and saw Zhao Ruizhi standing on the edge of the second fairy island, coldly staring at them. His piercing gaze seemed to want to drown them in a pig cage.
Bi Linglong blushed, unsure of what to do.
Zuan, however, stood in front of her with an easy expression, blocking the other party's oppressive aura for her: "Here we come, what's the rush?"
Looking at the broad shoulders of the man in front of her, Bi Linglong felt a warmth in her heart. Over the years, she had been managing everything in the Eastern Palace and protecting that simple-minded crown prince from the wind and rain. Only now did she realize how good it felt to be taken care of.
The two walked one after the other on the bridge of light. Because of what had just happened, Bi Linglong was a little embarrassed, so she deliberately lagged behind him by a few steps.
Zuan tried to get her to come with him several times, but to no avail, so he had to give up.
"I'm too embarrassed to talk to you now that you've seen everything." Mi Li couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's not like we haven't seen it before, why is she still so shy?" Zu'an asked, puzzled.
"Looks like you still don't understand women." Mi Li rolled her eyes, too lazy to say anything more to him.
"I didn't do it on purpose, who knew this broken mirror would be such a rip-off," Zuan said indignantly.
"A trap? Then what's with that uncontrollable smile on your lips?" Mi Li ruthlessly exposed his true thoughts.
Zu'an's face flushed, and he immediately shifted the blame, saying, "Who told your broken mirror to have this function? Oh, speaking of which, the King of Qin once used this mirror to look at you..."
Mi Li interrupted him directly: "Hmph, do you think everyone is like you? Back then, this mirror reflected the liver and gallbladder inside the body to see if there were any disloyal thoughts. Now it probably hasn't recovered to its peak, so it can't see through the body, only through clothes. It's true that like master, like treasure. This mirror was very proper in the hands of the Qin kings of all dynasties, but it has become so improper in your hands."
Zuan: "..."
He had to admit that it was better to see through clothes than through skin to see the heart. Hmm, even if there was a chance to upgrade later, he couldn't.
Wait a minute, I wonder what will be reflected in this mirror when Mi Li looks at it?
However, considering that he might be killed by the other party later, he decisively gave up this tempting idea.
Before long, the two crossed the light bridge and arrived at the second floating island.
Zhao Ruizhi's gaze fell on Bi Linglong's blushing cheeks, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily. When had she ever shown such a shy side in front of him?
He took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart. He had just witnessed the methods Zu An used to unlock the mechanisms, and this man was still useful. He would deal with him after finding the way to immortality.
The group then headed towards another bridge of light. The scenery along this route was vastly different from the previous floating island. The previous island was filled with the fragrance of ripe fruit and lush greenery. While the second floating island initially had many trees on its outer edges, as they ventured deeper, the surrounding landscape became increasingly desolate, filled with exposed rocks and yellow sand.
Many of the rocks even had a faint dark red hue, as if it were congealed blood.
"Everyone be careful, this place might be dangerous." Having just witnessed Zu An's performance, He Li felt a sense of crisis. He needed to prove his worth so that he wouldn't be easily discarded by the emperor.
Everyone in the Qi Prince's mansion placed their hands on their weapons, warily observing their surroundings.
