Although Murong Kui didn't say anything, someone as clever as Wang Qiaochuan couldn't possibly not know what had happened.
"When I traveled to Cangling in my early years, I was fortunate enough to see a mirror called the Spirit Mirror!"
Murong Kui smiled and said, "I wonder if the Celestial Master has found the answer he seeks!"
Wang Qiaochuan smiled; his expression said it all.
Cangling has a national treasure, the Spirit Mirror, which is said to be able to see a person's past and present lives.
During the war, the King of Cangling entrusted the item to Murong Kui, asking her to keep it safe...
Murong Kui and Ye Lisheng went hunting, but got separated from him.
She waited alone in the dark cave for him to come find her.
Overwhelmed by fear, she cried as she tightly clutched the psychic mirror to her chest.
Suddenly, a burning sensation struck her, and she hurriedly threw the mirror to the ground.
Suddenly, something strange happened in the cave; a golden light shone so brightly that she couldn't open her eyes.
Although I was scared, I was also curious about what had happened.
After her eyes adjusted to the golden light, she slowly opened them.
Before him appeared a field of bright red spider lilies, and standing among them stood a man in purple robes.
She looked closely and was startled – wasn't that Ye Lisheng?
"Brother Yue!" a woman called out gently.
Murong Kui's mouth formed an "O" shape in surprise; the woman looked exactly like her.
"Yaqing, are you healed? Why are you out walking around?"
"Brother Yue, they say you moved the spider lilies from the River of Oblivion to the Underworld!"
He looked at the flowers and a sadness seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"These red spider lilies used to be pure white, beautiful and pristine. I don't know how they turned red. They must be heartbroken!"
Ya Qing's eyes were red and she looked as pitiful as a little rabbit.
"Brother Yue, it's all because of me. If you hadn't gone to the River of Oblivion, you wouldn't feel so guilty!"
"Silly girl, it's not your fault!"
She leaned on his shoulder, but felt that he lacked his former warmth and instead was icy cold.
For several days afterward, she saw September staring blankly at the field of spider lilies, or she simply couldn't see September at all.
Finally unable to contain his curiosity, he asked his personal guard, Qingfeng, "Where did Brother Yue go?"
"Your Highness, the monarch may have gone to the River of Oblivion!"
Jealousy spread endlessly in her heart: "What is it about that woman that makes Brother Yue so attached to her!"
He smiled and said, "I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work!"
The River of Oblivion, crossed countless times, has become eerie and terrifying, causing even the most vengeful souls to hesitate in its presence.
"Where does one go after death?"
He asked a woman in black wearing a Yaksha mask...
"Why are you still looking for her after you've hurt her!"
"This king..." He was momentarily speechless.
Do you feel guilty?
"Heh..." she sneered.
"You deceived her feelings and used her spiritual blood to save your lover!"
Her words struck a chord, and September felt a sudden tightness in her chest.
"I just want to know if she's doing well!"
She's gone!
"Where did they go?" A void seemed to fill my heart, and a fleeting look of fear crossed my eyes.
She glanced at the endless River of Oblivion: "Go and find the answer she seeks!"
Seeing his distraught state, she handed him a carved mirror.
"The answer you seek is inside!" With that, she vanished in a puff of smoke before him.
The sight reflected in the mirror made his eyes widen in anger.
Yaqing was overjoyed to see him return and ran to him.
"Brother Yue, you're back!"
To everyone's surprise, September shook off her hand with a look of disgust, staring at her as if she were a stranger.
"Brother Yue, what's wrong?"
"Stop pretending!" September directly exposed him.
She was completely confused: "Brother Yue, what are you saying? I don't understand!"
In September, he cut to the chase: "You're not sick at all, so why are you pretending to be sick so I would fetch your spirit blood?"
She remained calm, letting out two composed, cold laughs.
"Everything I've done is just so I can stay by your side, Brother Yue!"
September looked puzzled, not understanding what she meant.
She then added, "You are the Demon Lord of this world, immortal and ageless, while I am but a mortal who will eventually grow old. Only in this way can I stay with you forever!"
He looked at her and felt utterly unfamiliar with her.
"You've got what you wanted!"
"No!" she replied immediately.
"Becoming Brother Yue's queen is what I truly want!"
"You're dreaming!" he said coldly.
"My queen can only be deceased!" He paused for a few seconds, stunned by the words that came out unconsciously.
So she was so important to him!
In just a few months, the River of Oblivion and the Underworld underwent earth-shattering changes.
September vanished with the passing of life, and Yaqing arrived alone in the Land of Oblivion.
"You've finally arrived?"
The man seemed to have anticipated her arrival.
"You've obtained the spirit blood, but you failed to keep your promise to help me keep Brother Yue!"
"The laws of heaven and earth govern all things, and you have a deep connection with them..."
Hearing him say that, Yaqing's heart leaped with joy, but his next words stirred jealousy within her.
You will stay by his side, but eventually someone will replace you.
"Who is that person? That woman named Wangsheng?"
The man smiled enigmatically: "Which way you go is entirely up to you!"
"The entanglement between you is unavoidable. Even after thousands of years, you will still be intertwined, unless you die! There is no other way!"
"Miss!"
"Murong Kui!"
A shout interrupted Murong Kui, who was watching.
With a crisp "thud," the spirit mirror fell to the ground and shattered into two pieces.
Just as he was about to pick it up, Ye Lisheng burst in.
"Murong, how are you?"
When they returned to the cave, the mirror had disappeared.
Murong Kui's figure was reflected on the shimmering water.
She was very curious about what happened next, but unfortunately, the psychic mirror could not be found.
“The psychic mirror can see a person’s past and present lives. Ya Qing is me, Jiu Yue is Ye Lisheng, and that woman named Wang Sheng is Qiu Kui. Why do we look exactly the same in this life, Coco?”
This left her completely baffled.
