Xia Linyin nodded. "It was my fault before, but I've figured it out now. You're my only brother, and I'll treat you really, really well from now on. I'll play whatever you want with me."
Xia Linyin blushed slightly, ashamed of deceiving children. Fortunately, she was a ghost now, so her blush was not noticeable.
Xia Xuan felt that his sister's tone had become so gentle. Before, his sister would always ignore him. He happily hummed in agreement, grabbed Xia Linyin's hand, and then shivered from the cold. "Sister, your hands are so cold."
Xia Linyin said aggrievedly, "Yes, my sister's hands are so cold. She looks all alone in the mirror, so cold and pitiful."
She urged, "Quickly, Xuanxuan, pull me out."
"Yes, sister, you won't be lonely anymore with Xuanxuan by your side." Xia Xuan nodded heavily, grabbing Xia Linyin's cold hands with both of her small hands and pulling her away forcefully.
Sure enough! She really can be dragged out!
As expected, she couldn't get out of the room on her own; only the people outside could pull her out!
Xia Linyin watched excitedly as her arm stretched out little by little under Xia Xuan's pull.
Just as his entire arm was about to extend out, Xia Xuan suddenly stopped and asked, "Sister, what does it look like in the mirror? Is it fun?"
Xia Linyin immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum, "It's not fun, not fun at all!"
Xia Xuan gave a slightly regretful "Oh," shook her little hand, and continued to pull Xia Linyin out of the mirror.
Suddenly, a golden light slashed down, cutting through the air like a sharp blade, and severed Xia Linyin's arm!
"Ah!" Xia Linyin screamed and stumbled back a few steps.
Xia Xuan also plopped down on the ground, still clutching Xia Linyin's severed arm in his hand, but the severed arm vanished like smoke a few seconds later.
But this terrified him. His little face turned deathly pale, and he stared blankly at his hands until his mother picked him up. Then, as if suddenly realizing what was happening, he burst into tears.
Xia Xuan wailed and cried his heart out. His mother thought he was frightened by Xia Linyin, and her resentment towards Xia Linyin grew stronger.
What Xia Xuan was thinking was that he had to break his sister's hand, break it, break it...
How much pain must my sister be in!
Xia Linyin looked at her hand. Her arm had grown back, but the cut still left a burning pain.
She took a few steps forward, placed her hand on the mirror, and stared intently at the culprit who had cut off her arm.
Clad in a bright red robe embroidered with gold thread, and holding an exquisite and simple Buddhist bead bracelet, the tall and handsome monk opened his eyes and chanted a Buddhist mantra, "Amitabha."
The sound was penetrating, like the striking of an ancient bell.
His eyes were extremely long and narrow, with slightly upturned corners. The shape of his eyes was as smooth as if drawn by a paintbrush. His slender, sword-like eyebrows were thick and dark. His nose was high and delicate but not effeminate. His thin lips were naturally red, the color of a rose.
What's even more astonishing is the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, as alluring as blood. If you only look at his appearance, you can't tell that he is a monk wearing a kasaya. Instead, he looks like a fox demon who has cultivated to the point of perfection, with a beautiful appearance that is both male and female.
She uses her looks to seduce people and steal their souls.
What's even more captivating than the real fox demon is that this monk has an ascetic expression, exudes a lotus-like aura, and has a calm, aloof gaze, as if he has seen through the world's illusions, or as if nothing in this world can catch his eye.
His otherworldly and refined appearance, reminiscent of a highly virtuous monk, combined with his incomparably handsome and alluring face, made him look like a demonic monk!
Yideng bent his long, slender, white fingers and flicked a cluster of ghostly flames from his fingertips. The flames landed on the mirror and began to spread and burn, like sparks meeting a sea of oil.
This tiny cluster of ghostly fire was far more powerful than the talismans that Master Niu had pasted all over the mirror. Before long, Xia Linyin felt the burning pain of her soul.
Knowing that a formidable opponent had arrived this time, and that she might actually be able to eliminate her through the mirror, Xia Linyin endured the pain and said calmly, "You think you can deal with me like this? You underestimate me. As long as I'm in the mirror, you'll never be able to defeat me! Unless I get out, you'll have even the slightest chance of eliminating me!"
Xia Linyin's calm expression showed no sign that she was being burned by the Netherworld Fire. Yi Deng couldn't help but frown. Under normal circumstances, a vengeful ghost would have been burning and rolling on the ground begging for mercy when it encountered his Netherworld Fire. This female ghost was completely unmoved. She was indeed quite powerful.
However, he wouldn't release Xia Linyin from the mirror just because of her few words.
"Do you think this humble monk would believe what you say? Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. This human world is not the place you should stay. This humble monk advises you to go to where you belong, so that you can suffer less."
As Yideng spoke, he flicked a cluster of ghostly fire from his fingertips. The ghostly fire landed on the mirror, and the flames burning on the mirror became even more intense and scorching.
"If you don't believe me, then we'll see!" Xia Linyin snorted coldly, a confident smile on her lips, seemingly completely unaffected by the Netherfire.
In fact, Xia Linyin was burning so badly that she wanted to jump into an icy pool, but she didn't show it on her face at all, enduring the burning pain and trying her best to look extremely relaxed.
When the pain became unbearable and she could barely hold it in, Xia Linyin burst into wild laughter, "Hahahaha, you bald monk, can't you see? Your fire has absolutely no effect on me! I've told you, as long as I'm still in the mirror, you'll never be able to defeat me!"
"Go ahead and drag me out if you dare! You believe I'll beat you so badly your own parents won't recognize you!"
Xia Linyin had already cursed Yideng hundreds of times in her heart. That bald monk, that filthy demonic monk! What kind of skill is it to bully a little girl?! Her tears were almost streaming down her face from the pain! That bald monk, that filthy demonic monk!
Xia Linyin felt like she was about to be burned to death on the spot!
If it weren't for that damned bald monk interfering at the last minute, she would have already stepped out of the mirror!
"Bald monk, you demonic monk! If you have the guts, let me out! Are you scared? Look at you, a grown man, more beautiful than a woman, with skin so white it reflects light, and your head shines like a light bulb. Tsk tsk tsk, instead of chanting scriptures in the temple, you insist on coming here to catch ghosts! What, not enough of the usual lucrative business, so you're making extra money on the side? I think you're completely impure, probably a drunken monk too!"
"How dare you!" A crack finally appeared on Ichidō's usually cold expression.
"So what if I'm being outrageous? Go ahead and drag me out!"
Seeing that the time was almost right, Xia Linyin suppressed her excitement and reached out her hand.
Xia Linyin beckoned to Yideng with a cheeky grin, her slender fingers conveying a silent message of "Pull me up, pull me up, pull me up now!"
