Wen Renlian collected his features and said with a straight face, “What does this mean?”
But the funeral shop owner was not prepared to say more as he placed the dangling earrings in their hands and turned to prepare to leave.
Ye Xun suddenly said, “Does it have to be three days?”
“Well,” the funeral shop owner looked back at Ye Xun and then at Kuang Zheng, “he’s a smith, he should know that these magic weapons have a time limit, and when the aura has dissipated, they won’t be effective anymore.”
“Three days,” said the undertaker as he gradually walked away, “after which the effect of the dangling earrings will weaken day by day, and if it is longer than three days ……”
The rest of the words disappeared into thin air.
Only after he had gone far enough did the undertaker say to himself, “I thought Jiang Luo would be safe when he went to Lian’s house, but now I find that I have sent someone into the tiger’s mouth instead. Yes, how could I have forgotten? Those people in the Lian family have not been seen for a long time, but they are more devout and loyal to that One than anyone else, and with one word from that One, the Lian family does not even allow their juniors to learn the arts anymore. If you make your own sins, you have to find your own solutions …… I can’t step in and give him the ‘God Regent Pendant’, so I can only rely on this group of people. The best effectiveness of the ‘God Regenerating Pendant’ is actually five days, but they have to be given some sense of pressure, after all, it’s not too late to hurry, time is short ……”

In the mirror.
Jiang Luo took his top off after realising that Chi You was peeking at him.
The curved spine is flooded with warm, dim light and the taut lines are beautifully supple.
He hid his curled lips and placed his hands on his belt, but hesitated to make his next move.
A wall next door.
Chi You’s eyes couldn’t help but rest on his hands.
The young man could not resist the darkness of such beauty. As he watched, several strands of foreign consciousness silently emerged from within his body.
These wisps of foreign consciousness were so powerful and dominant that they seemed to belong to Chi You, without even disturbing Chi You himself or the black fog that had become one with him.
The evil spirit thus invaded this body.
Everything went incredibly well, but when the evil spirit tried to take control of the body, he sensed that something was wrong.
It was surprising that he could not control this body.
This was clearly something that the evil spirit had not anticipated.
Even if he only used a small amount of his consciousness to dive into the mirror world in order not to make it collapse, it does not mean that the evil spirits cannot even manipulate a person.
What’s more, he was not controlling the puppet at this point, but possessed it himself.
How is this possible?
Once again the evil spirit commanded the consciousness to take over this body, but once again it failed.
Nonetheless, it was as if this little consciousness of his had been suppressed. He was in another person’s body, he could see what this person saw and hear what this person heard. But as if he were a schizoid of another person, he had all the senses of this body, but could not control this person’s body.
First possession, and it was such a failure.
The evil spirit was in a mood of uncertainty, but soon the desire to see someone began to soar and he began to discern his surroundings.
The sound of water, mist and wetness.
It’s in the bathroom.
The evil spirits are connected to the eyes of this body.
Mist shrouded, the walls are old and the light is dim and wavering.
The body is looking into a hole in the wall and the evil spirit looks away, but the next thing he sees is a half-naked Jiang Luo behind the hole.
Jiang Luo seems unaware of the prying eyes as he lazily unbuckles his belt, his tight white back appearing and disappearing from the hole, his sinuous black hair sliding down his shoulders, a vaguely provocative yellowing of old photographs in the dark light. Jiang Luo is about to remove the last of his clothes, his posture loose but undeniably attractive.
The evil spirit looked at the scene and his mind, which should have been dark with desire, was abruptly covered with killing intent.
The man he possessed was peeking at Jiang Luo.
Even now it is watching.
Incredible boiling anger erupted from within his body, and the thought of destroying this body overwhelmed all other thoughts. How dare this man-
An unprecedented violence swept through the evil spirit’s internal organs.
The evil spirit’s consciousness tumbled violently and grimly. But he had only used a small amount of his consciousness to dive into this world, and for a moment he could not even manage to kill the man.
But the rising fury of the evil spirits could not tolerate such a situation –
With all his strength, all his consciousness, he began to invade this body with all his might, ready to take control of one of its arms.
Chi You, who was watching Jiang Luo and was somehow agitated, finally sensed that something was wrong.
He withdrew his gaze and looked down at his right hand.
His right hand surprisingly lifted itself a little when he had no control over it. As the heir to the art of puppet soul refinement, Chi You could clearly feel that he was losing control of his right hand.
Chi You Eyes darkly on the right hand.
If it wasn’t happening right now, he wouldn’t believe for a second that something still existed in the world that made him lose control of his body.
How is this possible?
It is surprising that anyone can control him.
–Even just having control of one of his arms was enough to make Chi You furious.
As if sensing his gaze, the force of what was controlling his right hand grew stronger. This hand was lifted and forced close to Chi You’s face.
What is this intended to do?
Chi You pressed his left hand against his right, the cold pressure in his whisper almost freezing into ice, “I can’t believe I can’t control myself?”
The black mist wrapped around his right hand and Chi You let go of his left. But the next moment, instead of stopping the right hand as he had expected, the black mist allowed it to lift up inch by inch, reaching Chi You in an instant.
Chi You frowned, somewhat unexpectedly.
But he then calmed down and looked coldly at what the right hand was trying to do.
The pale index and middle fingers of the right hand moved closer and aimed at one of Chi You’s eyes, its purpose was clear enough, it wanted to poke Chi You blind in one eye.
And the right hand does have that strength.
The two long fingers managed to reach Chi You’s eyelids, and just as it was about to poke out the eyes before digging out the body’s heart, the next moment the right hand suddenly went limp and dropped heavily to its side.
The thing controlling his right arm left.
The coldness in Chi You’s eyes deepened, and it was only after a long moment that he withdrew his eyes from his right arm and looked once more into the cavernous eye.
Unfortunately, the only clothes on the bench were Jiang Luo’s neatly folded clothes, and Jiang Luo had already drawn the white curtain and got into the bath.
Chi You didn’t say anything, but he crushed the armrest of the bench with one force in his left hand.
*
Crackling.
The entire room was crushed to powder, except around the bed.
Ge Wuchen and Beaver, who had sensed their master’s return, were forced outside the door by the air pressure before they could enter the room. The two of them fought back their fear, swallowed the blood that rose from their throats, and leaned down on the spot.
I don’t know how long it took for the oozing sounds in the room to finally stop.
Ge Wuchen and the Beaver look up cautiously.
The evil spirit stood on the charred black mass of the floor for a long, long time without speaking.
The black mist covered almost the entire room behind him, and the ghostly lines grew even more than ever, crawling up to the corners of Chi You’s eyes, making even the handsome face of the evil spirit hideous and terrifying.
Chi You rarely showed his true emotions, let alone in such a fury and frenzy. It almost frightened Ge Wuchen, and he ventured to look up and say, “Master-”
Ge Wuchen was silenced when he saw Chi You’s red, bloodshot eyes.
In the midst of their disbelief, the evil spirit suddenly laughed in a low voice. The laughter became more and more intense and had finally turned into a loud laugh.
But a few seconds later, he abruptly withdrew his loud laugh.
“Very well,” he repeated, “very well.”
The depths of his dark eyes seemed to glow red, a suppressed mass of anger and hostility blended together, completely shattering the evil spirit’s composure.
The wind and snow even froze for a moment because of his terrifying aura.
“Prepare to enter the world of mirrors a second time.”
His hands were in his suit trousers, but the interlocking of bones between his fingers cackled, “I want it as soon as possible.”

After a nice bath, Jiang Luo went out and found Chi You waiting for him under the tree.
The world in the mirror is now in the spring when everything is coming back to life, the sound of frogs is sparse, Jiang Luo walks over with a wet breath, “Why are you so fast?”
Chi You looked back at him, “Only a little faster than you.”
Jiang Luo looked at him meaningfully, the smirk in his tone imperceptible, “Ah, you look terrible, has something happened?”
As soon as he smiled, the image of him with his shirt off flashed through Chi You’s mind, and the desire that had only just been quelled rose to the point of wanting to forcefully tie this man up and see what he wanted to see.
Chi You does not like to suppress its nature.
But this is really not the time to be obedient to the heart.
Chi You smiled and said, “Probably a bit unwell.”
The two men walked back together. Jiang Luo chatted with him, “You went out last night, were you called away by the elders too?”
Chi You nodded, “I will always listen to the teachings of my elders.”
Jiang Luo was sure that he had heard correctly, and he definitely heard a strong sense of sarcasm in Chi You’s word “teach”.
Jiang Luo feigned curiosity and said, “What kind of teachings?”
“Well,” Chi You narrowed his eyes, “I can take you there if you’re interested.”
Jiang Luo was keen to know what it was, but he didn’t have a preference for being targeted by the Chi family, “That won’t be necessary.”
Returning to his room and drying his hair, Jiang Luo bends down to make his bed, and the moment he does so, he notices Chi You’s gaze once again resting subtly on him.
Constantly beating on the tailbone and thighs, such a gaze is like a substance, like a wolf.
Jiang Luo suddenly turned his head and asked coldly, “What are you looking at?”
But the imagined Chi You panicked look did not appear, the man remained calm and steady, his vision even a little more hot and straightforward, holding his tea and smiling, “I am watching Young Master Jiang.”
Jiang Luo was not satisfied with the calmness of the teenager, Chi You. He came forward with interest and sat down in front of Chi You, folding his hands on the table and resting his chin, bending his head slightly, “What are you looking at me for?”
Under the candlelight at the table, his curled red lips had an almost seductive allure.
Chi You’s eyes locked on his lips again, “Young Master Jiang is very different from what I thought he would be.”
Jiang Luo : “Hmm?”
The candlelight exploded and the atmosphere became steeply ambiguous.
Jiang Luo added: “You’re not much different from what I thought you’d be.”
He reached out and gently tangled his fingers in his hair, quickly lowering his hand. Chi You’s gaze followed his fingers, and at this point, he could not resist and raised his hand in obedience. Jiang Luo laughed inwardly, saying, “Little virgin, you can’t hold it in any longer. Just as Chi You’s hand was about to touch his face, he suddenly stood up and said, “I’m going to go to the toilet, so young master Chi can sleep first.”
With that, Jiang Luo got up and left without a second thought, leaving the young virgin, who had been tantalised by him, in the lurch.
The door to the room opened and closed, the lights were still as dim as ever, but the One who had made the atmosphere so charming was gone.
Chi You’s hand still rests in the air.
After a long moment, he said to himself, “On purpose?”
“……”
“But there are some things that it is better not to provoke casually.”
Outside the house a cold wind blows and the moon is hidden by thick clouds.
Jiang Luo did not simply want to go to the toilet. There were other things he wanted to do more than that.
For example, go and squat on that evil spirit that kills in the night.
–This world of mirrors, he has stayed extremely impatient.
Even if he could bully the young Chi You, it doesn’t mean that Jiang Luo is willing to have his past memories dredged up by those behind the scenes. It would only make Jiang Luo extremely, extremely unhappy to have memories that he doesn’t want to recall resurface.
