Chapter 322 Eternal Night Star River 10
In the days that followed, Mu Yao and Mu Sheng devoted themselves to the arduous process of cultivation. They worked tirelessly day and night, striving to continuously improve their strength. Meanwhile, Feng Xi frequently traveled, bringing back rare treasures from the heavens and earth, which she planted on Qilin Mountain.
Because Qilin Mountain is protected by a powerful barrier and a strict protective formation, even if an outsider were lucky enough to find this mysterious mountain, it would be difficult to set foot inside. Furthermore, Feng Xi specially gifted Liu Niang with an invaluable manual of demon-refining techniques, entrusting her to carefully teach everyone the methods of cultivation. This way, everyone gained a certain degree of self-protection.
Time flies by, fleeting like a fleeting horse. In the blink of an eye, we arrive at the eve of the plot's unfolding. Suddenly, rumors surface in Taicang County that a demon has killed the bride, plunging the entire county into chaos and panic. Upon hearing this news, Mu Yao, Mu Sheng, and Feng Xi make a decisive decision: to head to Taicang County immediately to investigate.
Feng Xi knew that as the situation unfolded, Ling Miaomiao would soon arrive, and Mu Ziqi, accompanying her, wouldn't be far behind. Considering Mu Sheng's experience with possession in the plot, and to prevent a similar danger from recurring, Feng Xi carefully constructed an impenetrable barrier around Mu Sheng. Should Mu Ziqi—also known as Fu Zhou—appear, she would be able to detect him immediately, preventing him from possessing Mu Sheng.
At this moment, Feng Xi knew she had to rush to Taicang County to find Lin Yu, ensuring Ling Miaomiao's safe return upon her arrival and obtaining the crucial power of Revelation along the way. Meanwhile, Liu Niang, concerned for Murong'er trapped within Mu Yao's body, resolutely chose to follow the others. After all, Qilin Mountain was now protected by Feng Xi's barrier and protective formation, and her care was no longer necessary.
In Taicang County, the four encounter Liu Fuyi. Hearing her claim that all the brides in the city have died because of the mirror demon, Feng Xi knows the truth behind the original plot: the mirror demon actually made the brides witness the groom's indifference, causing them to commit suicide due to the devastation.
Everyone decided to go to the County Magistrate's Mansion. Lin Yu fell in love with Liu Fuyi and proposed a fake marriage to lure out the mirror monster. Feng Xi knew the time node, so she arranged for Mu Sheng and Mu Yao to live together. Because Liu Niang had Feng Xi's amulet, Liu Fuyi failed to detect that she was a monster and was sent to guard outside the door. Feng Xi secretly guarded Lin Yu in the bridal chamber. Lin Yu sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Liu Fuyi. In an instant, the magnetic field of space changed, and a beam of energy light carried Ling Miaomiao's soul, trying to possess Lin Yu, but was captured by Feng Xi. Feng Xi immediately performed the art of stopping time, tearing time and space, and sending Miaomiao's soul back. Then they arrived at the hospital and saw Mu Ziqi walking into the operating room. Feng Xi injected a beam of light into his body, making him recover. Seeing that the doctors and others around him were unable to move, Mu Ziqi stared at Feng Xi in front of him and asked, "Who are you?"
Feng Xi said solemnly, "I have just cured your illness. In exchange, you must immediately withdraw and delete the book 'Monster Hunt'!" Feng Xi took out her computer and handed it to Mu Ziqi. Mu Ziqi, unfazed, logged into his author platform and deleted 'Monster Hunt'! Once he was finished, Feng Xi erased his memory of ever having seen her, revised the world's understanding of Mu Ziqi's condition to merely a common weakness, and destroyed all of his medical records. With that done, Feng Xi returned to the world of Monster Hunt. She was shocked to realize that this world had deviated from Fu Zhou's setting. As long as the problem of the resentful woman was resolved, this world would no longer collapse. Time stopped, and Lin Yu anxiously awaited Liu Fuyi's arrival.
Feng Xi stared silently at the mirror in the room, knowing full well that the Mirror Demon lurked within. She knew Lin Yu was a spoiled young lady, a spoiled brat with a willful and arrogant disposition. Thus, Feng Xi secretly resolved to teach this ignorant woman a lesson.
By the time Liu Fuyi arrived, everything was proceeding smoothly according to the plan they had drawn up beforehand. Just as they were about to toast to the wedding wine symbolizing their love, the mirror demon suddenly appeared without warning. With lightning speed, it grabbed Lin Yu and mercilessly dragged her into the mirror.
Seeing this, Liu Fuyi was extremely anxious. Without hesitation, she jumped into the mirror, completely disregarding her own safety, just to save the innocent Lin Yu from the mirror monster. At this moment, Mu Yao and Mu Sheng hurried to the scene. They looked at Feng Xi, who was standing safely in front of the mirror, and asked with concern, "Sister Feng, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Feng Xi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied softly: "Of course I'm fine, but Master Fu Yi and Miss Lin are in big trouble now!"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Niang suddenly appeared before everyone. She stared at Feng Xi with suspicion and said bluntly, "Why do I always feel like you're gloating over someone else's misfortune?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xi glanced at Liu Niang nonchalantly and casually replied, "Is that so?" However, before she could finish her words, the other three people present nodded in unison and said, "Yes!"
Faced with this scene, Feng Xi couldn't help but laugh, and then spoke again: "Alright, alright! Even if there is, so what? Who told these two people to have ulterior motives? One deliberately approached A Yao with ulterior motives, and the other planned this fake marriage with ulterior motives. Now let them have a taste of pain, it can be said that it is their own fault~"
Afterwards, everyone slowly walked to the table and sat down one by one. Feng Xi then leisurely picked up a cup of steaming hot tea and took a sip. The rich aroma of tea instantly filled the air. Mu Sheng and Mu Yao, who were standing nearby, followed suit and began to savor the fragrant tea.
At this time, Liu Niang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Are you really not afraid of any accidents at all?" After that, she turned her gaze to Feng Xi who was concentrating on drinking tea.
Hearing this, Feng Xi raised her head slightly, glanced at Liu Niang nonchalantly, and then replied calmly, "If Xiao Jingzi really wanted to kill them, why would she go to such great lengths?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Niang was startled and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Could it be...that you are acquainted with this person?"
Feng Xi smiled and nodded slightly, then replied, "Yes, this demon is the mirror that Murong'er once possessed. Since the incident at Qilin Mountain, she has successfully cultivated into a human form. Furthermore, after careful observation, I haven't detected the slightest trace of sin in her. I suspect she's simply too naive, and sometimes her good intentions can lead to mischief."
After hearing this explanation, Liu Niang nodded in sudden realization, indicating she understood the reason. Then, the four of them sat quietly around the table, continuing to enjoy this rare moment of tranquility, savoring their tea and chatting casually.
