The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1172 Give Me Some Face (2 Updates)
Yunran reached out and touched her face. Hmm, it was even more delicate and smooth than before, and there wasn't a single scratch on it.

Ever since encountering these tiny insects, invisible to the naked eye, deep within the Death Mountain, Yun Ran had made a point of studying them and had even read through some of the books that Long Ling had brought back from the Gu God Temple.

Unexpectedly, this medicine powder works quite well on its first use. It seems like I can make more to keep on hand in the future.

Just then, a loud 'boom' suddenly erupted in the otherwise quiet space, startling Yunran, who was lost in her self-admiration.

"What is this sound?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Yun Ran only saw a white beam of light that appeared out of nowhere, connecting two completely different spaces.

Immediately afterwards, a cacophony of sounds arose. Although it was difficult to make out what these sounds were saying, they were very noisy, as if many people were talking.

When Yunran listened carefully, the sounds were very elusive, as if everything she had heard before was an illusion.

This scene immediately made Yun Ran laugh in anger. Good heavens, they were playing a trick on her!
Yunran's temper flared up immediately, and she stopped sitting on the ground. She had only pretended to be hit when she fell to the ground earlier, and had closed her eyes to rest.

After standing up and patting herself off, Yun Ran put away the demon core and carefully put her black robe's hood back on.

Regardless of whether she encounters other people in the future, her identity can only be that of the woman in black robes, and no one can associate her with the identity of Yun Ran.

The bronze mirror thought it would be properly stored in Yunran's Qiankun bag, just like before.

Inside the Qiankun Bag, it saw many treasures whose names it didn't even know, and the awkwardness it felt due to its status disappeared.

Now, it's quite used to being put into the Qiankun Bag.

As a result, Yunran simply held it in her hand, showing no intention of putting it into her Qiankun bag.

This made the bronze mirror a little uneasy. Normally, when Yunran held it in her hand, it was definitely a time when she needed it to stand alone.

Having enjoyed the ease of winning without effort, the bronze mirror now has very little ambition left.

Perhaps... Yunran forgot, so I'll remind her again.

Um... you seem to have forgotten to put me away...

Yunran: ...

Looking at the bronze mirror, which was practically overflowing with its own thoughts, Yun Ran was speechless. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that anything she had cared for for a while seemed to want to slack off.
"I'll need you later, have you forgotten that I used the identity of the man in black robes to kidnap you?"

Now that I'm showing up like this, even wearing a black robe, what if people don't believe my identity?

But with you by my side, no one will think I'm an imposter anymore, and no one will associate me with the identity of Yun Ran.

So you'd better cooperate with me and not hold me back, understand?

Bronze mirror: ...

Good heavens! If it weren't tied to Yunran, it would really want to spit on Yunran!
When did it become a symbol of the identity of the man in the black robe with cloud-dyed hair?!

It cooperated with Yunran before because there was no other way; it was bound by a contract.

But now, having to appear directly in front of so many people makes Tong Jing feel a bit embarrassed.

At least it used to be revered like a deity by many people, almost to the point of bowing and scraping. Although back then, it didn't really look down on those people. But there's a big difference between looking down on them and this obviously disrespectful behavior now.

Perhaps knowing that Yunran wasn't always so unreasonable, Tongjing decided to have a proper discussion with her.

After a few seconds of pause, a line of text appeared on the surface of the bronze mirror: "Can I refuse?"

Yun Ran glanced at the bronze mirror speechlessly and asked directly, "Why?"

If there isn't a reasonable explanation, Yunran feels that her fists are quite convincing.

After hesitating for a while, the bronze mirror finally spoke: "I used to be known as the Divine Mirror, and many people know that you stole me from me. Now that I've suddenly reappeared and am being manipulated by you like this, it makes me lose face."

Yunran: ...

It's only because she's well-mannered; otherwise, she would definitely be hurling very vulgar insults right now.

Has anyone told her why she has such a strong sense of vanity over just a bronze mirror?

"Then what do you want?!"

Realizing that Yunran was genuinely suppressing her anger, Tongjing knew when to stop and directly revealed his purpose.

In front of outsiders, you should be a little more polite to me. For example, don't let people know that I don't have much say in your affairs.

Ideally, others would see that you stole me, also to preserve my dignity and honor...

Watching the bronze mirror struggle to write out words in an attempt to save face, for a moment, Yun Ran wanted to shove the thing back in.

Although she is someone who cares a lot about her reputation, she earned it herself, not by relying on others!
Fortunately, Yunran didn't voice her true feelings, saving Tongjing some face; otherwise, Tongjing would definitely have made a scene.

Even so, the bronze mirror was still a little unhappy. "Hmph, as if everyone's face isn't earned by themselves. In the past, its status was also very high, you know."

If it weren't for Yunran, it would be enjoying the highest level of treatment right now!

The noise grew louder and louder, and Yunran didn't want to waste any more time arguing with Tongjing about such unimportant things.

The luster of the entire bronze mirror gradually dimmed, making it look rather pitiful.

Yunran really didn't want to see Tongjing looking like he was dead.

Finally, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine, I'll give you that kind of face!"

However, once she's given face, whether Tong Jing can seize the opportunity is no longer her concern.

The bronze mirror immediately regained its luster.

At the same time, he revealed a big smile. Getting this promise from Yun Ran was something to be proud of.

With another loud crash, this time the sound was much clearer, and Yun Ran immediately quickened her pace toward the pillar of light.

Despite the fact that the beam of light was very close, Yun Ran walked a long distance without touching it at all.

Yun Ran's expression changed slightly. She could hear the sound and see the light, but she couldn't touch it. There was something wrong with this pillar of light!
