Looking at Xia Linyin's disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and the cold ground, Xia Xuan realized that Xia Linyin was indeed not having a good time with the master.
Although only half of Xia Linyin's body was exposed, Xia Xuan didn't find his sister scary at all. On the contrary, looking at Xia Linyin like this, he felt sorry for her.
Just as Xia Xuan was hesitating, his mother walked in. When she saw the lighter in Xia Xuan's hand, she exclaimed in shock, "Xuanxuan, why are you holding a lighter in your hand!"
The woman took the lighter and looked at Xia Linyin, her eyes filled with barely concealed fear.
The woman lit the origami with slightly trembling fingertips and said, "Ah Yin, your mother and brother have come to see you. Be well here with the master and listen to his advice."
Xia Linyin's gaze passed over the woman's back and met Yideng's gaze.
After the origami burned to ashes, the woman hurriedly pulled Xia Xuan outside, saying, "Ayin, Mom and your brother are leaving now. We'll come see you again next time."
"Mom, I haven't seen my sister wearing new clothes yet!"
Ignoring Xia Xuan's protest, the woman said to Yideng, "Master, we'll be leaving now. Please take care of my daughter."
Yideng nodded slightly.
Xia Xuan stumbled after the woman, turned to look at Xia Linyin, and waved to her reluctantly.
He only looked away when he could no longer see Xia Linyin.
Lowering her hand, Xia Linyin blew a breath of yin energy into the ashes, and the ashes scattered in the air.
She changed into a little red dress. Her skin was originally pale and bloodless, but the red dress gave it an eerie beauty, a beauty like a hellish flower blooming on withered bones.
Xia Linyin lay on her side on the ground, lazily opened her eyes, and smiled faintly at Yideng, "Master, I have made up my mind. From now on, I will fall into the demonic path, turn this world upside down, and never have a day of peace again."
With her slender fingers twirling a strand of hair, Xia Linyin continued, "Since you already know that I will vanish into thin air once I leave the mirror, then just let me out, so I won't wreak havoc on the world."
"Didn't you want to destroy me completely back then? Why are you letting me go now? Anyway, whether I'm here or not, this mirror is a mirror that reveals your true nature."
Yideng put his hands together in prayer and said, "Amitabha."
After reciting the Buddha's name, he turned around and walked away.
Xia Linyin suddenly stood up from the ground. "Master, please let me go! Let me out! I have no attachment to this world anymore. I was already dead! I should have disappeared from this world long ago!"
Yideng paused, his back to Xia Linyin, and asked, "Do you have no attachment to this mortal world anymore?"
“That’s right!” Xia Linyin said without hesitation.
"Then this humble monk will help you destroy this mirror, and in that way, you will disappear completely from this world."
As he spoke, Yideng turned around, raised his hand, and with dazzling golden light swirling around it, he used his hand as a blade to slash at the mirror.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Xia Linyin quickly stopped her. "Master, I can just disappear. It would be such a waste to destroy this mirror, which was so hard to make. So you should keep the treasure."
"It's just a demon-revealing mirror. If this humble monk wants it, he can refine it again. Why keep it to annoy me?"
"Master, it's me who annoys you, not this mirror!"
Seeing that Yideng was about to smash the mirror, Xia Linyin cried out urgently, "No, no, no! Master, let's talk this out, let's talk this out! I've realized that I still have a slight attachment to this mortal world. I'll go back now, I'll go back now..."
Xia Linyin slowly backed into the mirror, when suddenly! She clutched her stomach and let out a scream!
"Master, no, no, no... I can't take it anymore! My stomach hurts so much! That old Taoist priest was afraid I was lying to him, so he fed me a pill. I don't know if it's because of that pill, but my stomach hurts so much!"
Yideng watched Xia Linyin's performance with indifference.
"Dengdeng, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, please help me, please help me."
It seems that even if he cries out, the heartless Yideng will not lend a helping hand.
Xia Linyin bit her lip tightly, curled up, and let out a muffled groan, no longer calling out to Yideng.
Seeing Xia Linyin like this, Yideng frowned slightly and couldn't help but take two steps forward.
As Yideng approached, Xia Linyin suddenly stood up and grabbed his leg, then slowly and inching her way out of the mirror.
"Let go!"
"I won't let go!"
Xia Linyin clung tightly to Yideng's leg, like a person who had fallen into the sea clinging to the only piece of driftwood, and would never let go no matter what!
Yideng tried to pull his leg out a few times, but couldn't. Xia Linyin was still persistently trying to pull her body out of the mirror.
Seeing Xia Linyin's desperate appearance, Yideng suddenly sneered. Although it was just a sneer, it did not diminish the stunning quality of the smile.
Yideng rarely smiled, but this smile softened the indifference between his brows. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of mockery, and his enchanting face was as piercing as the thorns of a beautiful rose.
The cinnabar birthmark between his eyebrows was so red it seemed to bleed.
"You're too naive. Do you think I can't do anything to you just because of this?"
With a swift, golden strike, Yi Deng expressionlessly aimed for Xia Linyin's waist.
Xia Linyin, who had been cut in half at the waist, was split in two. Her upper body hung on Yideng's leg and gradually dissipated.
The legs in the mirror and the buttocks outside the mirror gradually recover, and the severed parts grow back.
After fully recovering, Xia Linyin watched Yideng's departing figure and cursed, "You bald monk! You'll get your comeuppance!!!"
At night, Yideng came over, and Xia Linyin stopped braiding her hair and looked up at him.
There was no hysteria, no laughter, no anger, no rambling nonsense; she seemed utterly exhausted, tearing off all the masks from her face.
Looking at Yideng so seriously for the first time, he asked, "Master, have you ever been in love?"
Xia Linyin smiled. "I love someone, but he is waiting for me in another world. I want to see him. I really, really want to see him."
Yideng, expressionless, twirled the prayer beads in his hand without saying a word. Suddenly, the red thread snapped, and the beads clattered to the ground.
Yideng stared blankly at the rolling prayer beads on the ground for a long while before reaching out and collecting all the beads back into his palm.
"You have high comprehension, cultivate diligently, and you will surely have great fortune in the future. Past events are now just a passing cloud, so let them go."
After saying this, Iden turned and left the meditation room.
"Master! Don't go! Please don't go! I can't let go, I can't let go! Do you think everyone is as heartless and emotionless as you—"
