The Li family was one of the richest families in Rihua City. In the beginning, they made a living by selling cloth. Later, they bought Hu clothes and hats from the Western Regions and sold them to cater to the popular Hu style at that time. Therefore, their business flourished and they became the richest family in Rihua City.
Old Master Li's only beloved daughter, Li Jing, stood in the attic, beaming with joy. These were all prepared for her and Wei Yun's wedding in three days. However, her originally excited mood was cast a shadow because of the incident of the Lantern Festival the day before yesterday.
She fell into the last memories of the Lantern Festival. Why did that gaze look so familiar?
Where had she seen these eyes before?
Strangely, she was sure that she had never seen that person before, but his eyes seemed to have been branded in her heart for a long time. They were so familiar, but also so heartbreaking.
Heartache! Why did she have such a feeling?
A stranger who she had never met before just looked at her in surprise with an unusual but condescending gaze, but it caused her to feel a strong pain in her heart. This pain seemed to have spread for hundreds of years, and it was indescribably familiar.
At this moment, Wei Yun happened to pass through the backyard corridor.
As usual, he was holding a pile of flowers and plants that she could not name. There was a kind of indifference in his silence that rejected people thousands of miles away. As usual, he ignored the busy people around him and prepared to walk back to his residence with his usual low-key attitude.
She heard a servant who was hanging lanterns coming down from the stairs. When he saw him, he congratulated him. He still had no expression and only nodded slightly. Then, he hurried through the corridor, as if the wedding that was going to be held in three days had nothing to do with him.
He had always been attached to the Li family in a calm and distant manner. Other than flowers and plants, nothing could arouse his interest. Even when his father mentioned his marriage to him, he still had an indifferent but never offensive attitude. Then, just like how they usually nodded to the servants in return, they gently nodded as a tacit agreement, and everyone began to prepare happily.
Compared to the festive atmosphere around him, he seemed so detached and detached. This kind of bystander appearance also made Li Jing feel uneasy.
She could not help but worry. Would Wei Yun not even like her a little from the beginning? Did he agree to this marriage just to repay the Li family for raising him?
If that was the case, it would be too heartbreaking.
Ever since she saw Wei Yun for the first time, her heart had already fallen for him.
A gust of cold wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver. She glanced and saw the lantern with the word "happy" hanging in the opposite corridor suddenly fall. The servants quickly picked it up and joked,
"Even the lanterns fell. This wind really doesn't know how to adapt to the times!”
This scene undoubtedly added an ominous dark cloud to her already gloomy heart. She walked into the house in a distraught manner.
She sat down in front of the bronze mirror that she usually used to dress up. The divination mirror that she had accidentally brought back during the Lantern Festival was casually thrown on the table. She glanced at it and thought of that strange man. She picked it up and stared at herself in the mirror with a heavy heart.
Strangely enough, she had an inexplicable familiarity with this action, as if she had once stared at him like this hundreds of years ago.
She looked at herself in the mirror, and there was a faint worry between her eyebrows. This really should not appear on the face of a person who was about to become a bride.
She felt worried and confused about all this, so she whispered to herself in the mirror," I really don't know what my future will be like…"
At the same time, the blurry mirror began to clear up again.
It was in the hall of the Li family. There was a red color that represented celebration everywhere. Wei Yun, who should be wearing the groom's clothes, appeared in front of her in his usual attire. He appeared slightly serious. His expression clearly announced his unwillingness to this marriage. At the same time, he gave her a look full of guilt, then turned around and left resolutely. When she saw herself in the mirror, she was extremely shocked. She angrily pulled off the wedding handkerchief on her face, lifted her phoenix robe, and chased after Wei Yun with tears in her eyes under the watchful eyes of everyone…
Such a short scene was enough to make people's scalps go numb and scream.
"What happened?"
Wei Yun, who had never entered her boudoir before, heard the scream and rushed into the room. He saw Li Jing holding the mirror in his hand trembling and immediately understood that it was the reason for her scream.
" I…" She looked at Wei Yun in shock and panic, her face pale.
"Let me see."
Wei Yun's outstretched hand was firm and could not be refuted. His expression was unusually calm because he seemed to know something.
She could not resist that gaze. There was determination in her gentleness. She wanted to reject him loudly like she usually did, but her hand had already reached out.
When Wei Yun couldn't see the thing that made Li Jing scream in the mirror, he looked at Li Jing in confusion.
She turned her face sideways to avoid his puzzled gaze.
Wei Yun sighed softly with a serious expression.
"Jing Er, you have to tell me. This concerns our future.”
She was shocked by this serious expression. She had never seen Wei Yun like this. To be precise, before he inexplicably disappeared from Mount Ri Hua for a month, he always maintained a distant but not impolite distance from everyone.
After returning from Mount Sunflower, he had completely changed.
She felt that he had already walked out of his extreme isolation. The gloominess in his eyes had been swept away, and the hope for the future had made his originally gloomy eyes unusually bright. She couldn't understand what had changed him, just like how she couldn't understand why he, who had always been indifferent to everything, including his marriage, suddenly took this mirror so seriously.
" Jing 'er…" He was so eager to know the truth that he unconsciously emphasized his usual gentle tone.
"I don't know."
Facing such an answer, he only looked at Li Jing with a kind of insight. That indescribable pressure made Li Jing panic.
"I, I don't know. This is a strange mirror.”
"How is it strange?" Wei Yun's eyes always maintained a sharp insight, and his tone had a sense of oppression.
Under such a gaze, she had no choice but to tell him everything.
" It seems to be able to predict. I saw it in the mirror. I saw it."
Wei Yun seemed to have lost his patience. He stuffed the mirror into Li Jing's hand and ordered,"
"Try again, like you just did, try again!”
"Brother Yun…"
"Try again!"
This was the first time he had spoken to Li Jing in such a growling tone in the Li family, and this had successfully forced her to yield.
After witnessing the prophecy in the mirror, the shock that should have appeared on his face did not appear. From his eyes, Li Jing even saw a hint of enlightenment that was almost free.
"As expected, Sunflower God's words are true.”he muttered to himself.
"Brother Yun?"
"Jing Er." He returned to his usual demeanor, and there was even a sense of relief on his face. "I never told you what happened to me in Mount Sunflower. Now…"
"Don't say it!" An inexplicable fear made Li Jing quickly hide his divination mirror and stop him. "I don't want to hear anything. I don't want to know anything. I want to rest.”
Wei Yun looked at her and sighed. A feeling of destiny made him swallow all his words and leave after a polite bow.
Everyone who came because of her scream was turned away by her. She didn't want anyone to know what had happened. Although she had read some information that made her afraid from Wei Yun's eyes, her usual arrogance made her resolutely reject all of this.
This wasn't real. The divination mirror didn't show anything. It was just an illusion that she was too tired. She would eventually become Wei Yun's wife.
The white monkey put its hands behind its back and paced back and forth in the snow. Its small face was scrunched up, and it was almost impossible to tell which was its mouth and which was its eyes.
On the peak of Yuehua Mountain, a white halo appeared on the cracked rock beside the pine tree. It was his master, Yuehua God.
Ever since it could remember, the white light had never been as weak as it was now. Even when its master had fought with Li Tieguai several times in the past and had exhausted his magic power, the white light still had a dazzling light, just like its master's vigorous vitality.
However, it had already been ten days, and the white light that should have been growing stronger by the day had unexpectedly dimmed. Master had not put his mind on recuperating his essence at all!
Perhaps it was because he had suffered a blow, but he seemed a little depressed.
The most hateful thing was that the moonlight had been exceptionally bright these few days, but the divination mirror was not by his side. Without the mirror that could absorb the essence of the moonlight, what was the use of the bright moonlight?
However, Yuehua God's thoughts had long drifted far away, so far that her memories could not be touched. No, it should be the part that he didn't want to touch.
Three hundred years ago…
When she saw the servant girl with the Divination Mirror, Yue Hua God had already secretly given up.
Other than his brother, Sun Flower God, women were the second type of people that he didn't want to see from the bottom of his heart, especially women who were indescribably beautiful, had a pair of bright eyes, and were extremely pure.
Their existence meant only one thing to him, who had always thought that he was free and unrestrained, but was loved by everyone. That was trouble.
As expected, she had probably never been to anywhere other than the celestial palace of the Queen Mother of the West. When she saw her handsome self appear in front of her, the first thing she thought of was not to escape, but to throw him a harmless smile. After he revealed his identity, she politely asked him what he was here for.
He had been prepared for a big fight, but he was at a loss because of her innocent smile. He had no choice but to hide his murderous face and put on a kind face that he was not familiar with.
Fortunately, he had many tricks up his sleeve. It was easy for him to counter every move. But strangely, under the gaze of those beautiful eyes, he found it difficult to lie for the first time in his life.
The smile on her lips made his lie full of loopholes. He didn't know if she was too stupid or too kind, but after hearing what he felt guilty about, she put on an unshirkable look on her beautiful but obviously inexperienced face. She didn't consider how serious the consequences would be and decided to lend him the Divination Mirror.
"I don't want to!" He shook his head firmly, his beautiful white hair swaying.
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want to implicate you." That pair of flawless eyes could not help but speak the truth.
"I'm not afraid!" The crisp sound was even better than the best singing bird in Yuehua Mountain. "I…am willing to be implicated by you."
Seeing this expression, he shouted in his heart," Finished, finished. His body, which had always been colder than ordinary people's, was covered in cold sweat. What he was most afraid of was this kind of slightly admiring tone and expression. This meant only one thing, and that was that endless trouble was coming. He had to think of a way to leave before the matter escalated.
His eyes flickered as he stared at the ground."But, but I changed my mind at the last minute. I suddenly feel that it's not a bad thing for my Moonlight Mountain to be covered in snow all year round.”
"But, but didn't you say that the cold of Mount Yuehua often reminds you of your lonely past? You long to see the sun, just as you long to return to your mother's arms.”
Ha! This girl was so silly. She had a good memory even though she couldn't tell. She actually remembered every word that he made up at the last minute. She didn't know what he was saying either.
He could only continue to lie." Even so, when I think about how the snow that has accompanied me for so many years is about to disappear, I suddenly have a very reluctant feeling!”
"Idiot." Her smile was the most beautiful one he had ever seen. "Do you know how many immortals and demons are coveting this mirror in my hand?”
"I don't know." he answered honestly.
Indeed, such a good mirror was placed in the hands of this girl who did not seem to have much magic power, was beautiful but did not have much brains. Why was it not snatched away by someone like him?
With a smile, she opened her hand, and a small and exquisite mirror appeared in her soft palm in the blink of an eye.
"Try using your magic power to absorb the mirror in my hand.”
What? He raised his arrogant eyebrows. Wasn't this clearly asking him to bully the little girl?
"You're welcome. Use all your magic power.”
He saw a hint of firm confidence in her innocent eyes. Of course, it was not because she had stronger magic power than him. Then where did this confidence come from?
Yuehua God waved her white sleeve, and a gust of wind quickly attacked her hand. She retracted her hand, and the mirror should have returned with this backlash, but there was nothing!
"I said, use all your magic power.”Her tone suddenly became serious.
Puzzled, he tried again. At first, he only used a little magic power, but he was surprised to find that the mirror did not move at all. He was secretly surprised and used more powerful magic power.
A strange thing happened at this time. He found that not only was he unable to absorb the mirror in her hand, but his mana was also sucked away by an even stronger suction force. What was even more amazing was that he could no longer control himself. It was impossible for him to even stop.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, she relaxed her hand and said with a clear expression,"Now you should know why!"”She smiled faintly.
His expression could no longer be described as shocked.
Her smile turned into an apology as she said tactfully,"I don't mean to tease you or look down on you. I just want you to understand one thing. I was born for this mirror. As long as I don't want to, no one can take it away from me.”
Her words suddenly made him feel that he was the most foolish one. He had spent so much effort to come here, but he did not expect that this mirror could not be taken away!
The reason why she could confidently ask him to use his full strength was because unless she was willing, no matter how powerful the master was, he would still return empty-handed.
Of course! It could be imagined that he was definitely not the first person to think about this mirror. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was childish and ridiculous.
What made him so embarrassed that he wanted to bury himself on the spot was what she said next.
"I know that what you said just now might not be the truth, but I can confirm one thing. Mount Yuehua is indeed a mountain covered in snow all year round. People who have not seen the sun for many years will have an inexplicable desire for sunlight, so I'm willing to lend you the mirror as long as you promise to return it to me on time.”
His throat tightened at her kindness. "You, how can you be sure that I will keep my word and return the mirror to you as scheduled?”
A smile appeared at the corner of her lips." Your eyes! Although you are arrogant, the depths of your eyes tell me that you are not as evil as you appear to be.”
He was shocked and uncomfortable at being seen through. Other than the Rihua God, she was the second person to see through his heart.
He did not like this!
He really didn't like this!
All his expressions froze in an instant, as if he was covered in frost and snow. He said coldly,
"Regardless of whether you're right or wrong, I've decided not to borrow this mirror anymore. Goodbye!”
He shouldn't have said goodbye. It gave her some kind of hope, so much so that she actually sent the mirror to Mount Yuehua without any regard for anything else, and let him see an incredible thing in the mirror.
"This Divination Mirror can perform divination, allowing people to see their future husbands and predict future events. I saw you from here, so I decided to follow you…"
In the face of her passionate confession, his expression was one of awkwardness.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not joking. This is the reflection of the mirror. Its prophecy has never been wrong. You are my destined husband.”
Her serious expression made him laugh.
"Is that so?" He refuted her statement in a rude and almost joking tone. "But I don't like you! I couldn't even remember your appearance after that day. Can I still be your husband like this?”
She staggered a step, and there was obvious pain in her bright eyes.
"If you don't agree to become my husband today, then I will be banished to the mortal world and suffer the pain of nine reincarnations.”
Hehe, what kind of trick was this?
He didn't expect such an innocent girl to be so scheming!
However, her serious expression exuded another kind of beauty, which made him make an exception to hold back the sarcasm that was about to come out of his mouth and change to a casual tone.
"Where does this come from?"
She patiently explained," I've told you. The Divination Mirror can not only divine, but it can also foresee the future. If you don't believe me, I'll show you…"
"No need!" With a wave of his snow-white sleeve, a cold air swept towards Li Jing, forcing her to take a few steps back. " I don't believe in the prophecy of that damn mirror, not to mention…" He put away his nonchalant expression and put on a serious expression."Even if the prophecy is true, I don't plan to let you follow me.”
"However, I will suffer the pain of nine reincarnations because of this.”
"What does it have to do with me?"
"I'm begging you. I'm begging you sincerely, okay?”
"I'm sorry, I can't do it!"
His indifference had completely shattered her heart. She looked into his eyes with grief and felt an aura that was colder than frost and snow from him. At that moment, she knew she couldn't escape her fate. In her despair, she smiled.
"It's okay. I know you don't believe me.”She held back her sadness, but she could not control her trembling voice." But…but I really like you. After I saw you clearly in my Divination Mirror, I couldn't help myself. Now, I'll give you the mirror. One day, I'll naturally come and get it back.”
When he placed the Divination Mirror on his palm, he touched her warm fingertips and felt a warmth that was different from before.
She couldn't forget that sparkling and moving gaze. It contained all the feelings of an innocent girl towards love, and those feelings were all for a strange man whom she had only met once…
It was difficult to describe his feelings at that time. He did not think much of the divination and prophecy of Divination Mirror, but her expression was indeed touching.
He thought that love was something created by stupid mortals. He had always disdained things that would only cause more pain than sweetness.
Beneath his seemingly unrestrained appearance, there was actually a trace of fear and disgust towards women. However, her young and passionate emotions, following the prophecy of the divination mirror, surged towards him like a flood that had opened the floodgates.
Although he was extremely stupid, he saw the brilliance and power of love on this innocent girl's face, which he had once scoffed at. This caused a piece of his heart that was as firm as an iceberg to be knocked off unintentionally.
As his thoughts raced, Li Tieguai arrived with a thunderbolt. He carried out the punishment on behalf of the Queen Mother of the West and asked for the Divination Mirror.
After that, he and Li Tieguai had a months-long battle. When Li Tieguai was defeated, he learned from the other immortals and gods that the girl had been beaten down to the mortal world and had suffered nine reincarnation cycles.
Apart from shock, regret followed. Divination Mirror's prophecy came true. Although he still refused to admit the truth of the prophecy in the mirror and always acted as if it had nothing to do with him, he felt guilty. He felt guilty that his indifference had caused the girl to pay a painful price.
For the past three hundred years, the girl had always been a hidden fragment in his memories, a guilt that he was unwilling to admit…
It was obvious now that the girl in Rihua City was the reincarnation of the servant girl who guarded the Divination Mirror.
It was just like the first time they met three hundred years ago, full of drama. It was just that he, Yue Hua God, actually did not see that she was that naive and foolish girl who did not care about anything for love!
"Sigh…"
It was a very, very soft sigh, but it was captured by the sensitive white monkey.
Master was actually sighing?
In his memory, the last time he heard his master sigh was more than three hundred years ago.
His master, Yue Hua God, had always been a carefree and uninhibited person. No matter how great the difficulties and troubles were, to him, it was just a difference in the depth of his smile. The last time he sighed, it was because of the girl who had been banished to the mortal world to suffer because of him, so what was it for this time?
"It's been ten days. You still haven't figured it out?”
This deep and powerful sound, which seemed to come from a secluded valley, slowly descended from the night sky along with a black halo.
The white monkey seemed to be facing a great enemy. With a squeak, it rushed between the black light and the white light, putting on an appearance that it would protect its master even if it had to risk its life.
The Sunflower God only used his sharp right eye to look at it, forcing it to lower its tense shoulders.
It wasn't that it was timid! The tall and sturdy Rihua God had a serious and expressionless face, and one of his eyes was particularly sharp. Coupled with the black cloak that fluttered in the dark night, he exuded a strange and mysterious aura.
Not to mention a little monkey, many immortals would unconsciously show fear when they saw him.
The Rihua God used his hand hidden in his black cloak to gently point at the snow. A small mountain of bananas appeared in front of him, as tempting as it could be.
The white monkey's hands were twisted and its eyes were wandering. It seemed to be struggling in its heart.
"Are you here to take advantage of me?"
The Moonlight God in the white light didn't even have the strength to say such provocative words, which indirectly confirmed the Moonlight God's guess. His mana had been absorbed by the divination mirror, and there was not much left. The evil and kind-looking him was afraid that he would be attacked by the fox demon at this time, so he specially came to visit him. Of course, he would never say these words to Yue Hua God. He wouldn't believe it anyway.
Yue Hua God furrowed her thick eyebrows, which were as black as the black cloak, and her voice was even more sullen. "I would never do such a thing!”
It believed this.
The white monkey, who was peeling a banana, thought to himself," Rihua Shen, who had a straightforward nature, would never do something like taking advantage of others when they were in danger. The only person who would do such a thing was his master, and it was not just once!
Yue Hua God's eyes, which had been tightly shut all this while, slowly opened. When she met the pair of black eyes that were similar to his but more detached and calm, she said bluntly,"
"Then, why did you come to Mount Yuehua for no reason? If you want me to hand over the mirror, forget it! Please go back. Forgive me for not sending you off!"
The Rihua God, who had long been accustomed to his viciousness, merely acted as usual. His ever-tense lips curled into a slight, tolerant smile. With a wave of his sleeve, a ball of black light rushed toward the Yuehua God and quickly melted into his body.#
