Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

A clear and refreshing thought slipped into Lin Quan's sea of ​​consciousness without warning.

Without the slightest hesitation, a thought flashed through his mind: "Anchor."

Swah——

The person in the mirror was closing their eyes and tilting their head back, a slightly contented smile on their lips. Suddenly, their whole body stiffened, the singing stopped abruptly, and they seemed to be nailed to the water.

Qiao Jingjing and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and smiled silently—weren't they just as dumbfounded back then?

"Who?!"

The man suddenly opened his eyes, his voice trembling. He instinctively shrank back into the tub, wrapping his arms around his knees, leaving only his terrified eyes above the water.

Just as her heart was pounding, a clear thought quietly surfaced in her mind:

"The Mirror Master invites you to enter into a contract. Are you willing to accept?"

Immediately following, Lin Quan's figure flashed and appeared deep in her mind; along with his name, authority, and authority boundaries, they were as clear and distinct as the moon reflected in clear water.

"Don't be afraid, and don't panic."

"Take a look at the words in your mind first, then nod. It's not too late."

As Lin Quan activated the Time-Space Mirror, he sent a wisp of divine thought to the other side—

The girl, who had been huddled in the corner trembling all over, finally loosened her grip on her clothes and her breathing gradually calmed down.

"You...you..."

Her throat bobbed, her lips moved, but the words seemed to be blocked by something, leaving only intermittent breathy sounds.

Finally, she bit her lower lip hard, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she quickly grabbed the gossamer-thin gauze beside her and wrapped it around her body.

In the blink of an eye, she had changed into an elegant dress!

But her face was already burning red, like peach petals soaked in rouge, even the tips of her ears were tinged with the color of the sunset.

It was only then that Qiao Jingjing and Zhu Zhuqing truly saw what she looked like—

The two of them were both stunned, their eyes widening suddenly: "My God... she's so stunningly beautiful!"

Although her figure was not as slender and graceful as Zhu Zhuqing's, and slightly less voluptuous and radiant than Qiao Jingjing's,

But that face was truly breathtaking, a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky;

Her eyes and brows held a hint of timidity and a touch of gentleness; her figure was exquisite and graceful, small enough to be grasped in one hand yet possessing a warm and gentle touch.

Even Qiao Jingjing, who was usually calm and composed, felt a slight ripple in her heart—it was the instinctive admiration a woman feels when she sees someone more beautiful.

Lin Quan gazed at the face in the mirror, a face that resembled the fairy but possessed an even more vibrant and lively spirit.

Recalling the fragmented images that had flashed across the mirror, it became clear in her mind: who was she?

While the three of them were still looking away, the girl quietly calmed herself down and sorted out the information flooding into her mind.

After a moment, she took a deep breath, her voice still a little tight, but no longer trembling: "Who... exactly are you?"

"Now that you have read those messages, you naturally understand where I come from."

Lin Quan spoke calmly and unhurriedly, "If you are willing to enter into a contract, I will certainly protect you; if you are not willing, I will not force you—after all, you are not the only one with this opportunity."

"This is your only chance to turn things around. You should weigh the pros and cons."

Before he finished speaking, he transmitted Qiao Jingjing and Zhu Zhuqing's past and identities into the mirror.

The girl's previously tense shoulders relaxed instantly, as if she had swallowed a calming pill, and her eyes quickly cleared.

"I wonder if she'll agree..."

"Another stunning beauty, I wonder who she will end up in."

As Qiao Jingjing spoke, she glanced at Lin Quan out of the corner of her eye without making a sound.

Both she and Zhu Zhuqing knew very well:

Once the contract is signed, it's hard to extricate yourself—sooner or later you'll belong to Lin Quan.

Zhu Zhuqing, in particular, looked at her peerless face in the mirror, her fingertips paused slightly, and she suddenly thought of her growing older, a faint trace of melancholy quietly passing through her heart.

After a long silence, she finally closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her gaze had become firm.

She nodded slightly, her voice soft yet clear: "I am willing to make a covenant with you."

laugh--

A flash of silver light appeared, followed by countless starlight points, like birds returning to their nests, swirling towards the back of her right hand.

In an instant, an ancient bronze mirror totem appeared on it, its patterns flowing and deeply embedded in the skin, becoming an indelible mark.

With the contract finalized, Lin Quan's gaze swept over the simple courtyard behind her, and he said crisply and decisively:

"Let's get everything sorted out first, and we can discuss the rest later."

As soon as the words were spoken, the mirrored light and shadow suddenly collapsed, and the connection abruptly ended.

The illusory image vanished, the bronze mirror disappeared, and the three remained silent, only gazing at each other.

Especially when Lin Quan caught sight of the meaningful smiles on Qiao Jingjing and Zhu Zhuqing's lips, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he wanted to speak, but in the end, he said nothing.

A faint purple hue rose in the air.

Qiao Jingjing was the first to stand up, gesturing with her chin toward the sofa before the three of them sat down.

She leaned back against the cushion, turning her head to look at Lin Quan: "There are no outsiders here, let's get straight to the point—which world were we connected to just now?"

Lin Quan smiled, his expression confident: "If there are no problems, I have almost figured out its details."

"I'm almost entirely certain about where that girl came from..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Quan's gaze swept across the room like a gentle breeze and quietly settled on Zhu Zhuqing.

Qiao Jingjing's eyes flashed, as if she had been awakened, and a sudden realization lit up her eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, the world that Lin Quan just connected with—

It is probably of the same type as the martial spirit world from which Zhu Zhuqing came!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Quan spoke again, his tone steady yet weighty:

"It's not just me, Jingjing, you've probably heard of that world too..."

He paused briefly, as if letting the echo linger in the air, before continuing:

"That young lady just now is very likely from the world of martial arts, and her name is Wang Yuyan."

Qiao Jingjing was taken aback at first, then blurted out, her voice trembling with disbelief:

"Wang... Wang Yuyan? Wang Yuyan of Mantuo Manor... that 'Fairy Sister'?"

"No wonder she looked like a celestial being descended from the clouds the moment she appeared—she truly is the legendary fairy sister!"

The way she muttered to herself aroused some confusion in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Sister Jingjing...you know Wang Yuyan too?"

Qiao Jingjing glanced quickly at Lin Quan, then smiled at Zhu Zhuqing: "I don't know how Xiao Quan knows; but I do know a thing or two about Wang Yuyan."

"Please wait a moment, Sister Zhuqing, I'll be right back!"

Before the words had faded, the figure vanished like a streak of light, leaving only a wisp of breeze behind.

In just a few breaths, Qiao Jingjing returned quickly, carrying several old books.

With a flick of her finger, she revealed four powerful characters printed on the cover: "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"!

"It contains a complete record of Wang Yuyan's life and the outline of her world."

After she finished speaking, she handed the book directly to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing had just reached out to take the book, before she had even turned the page—

Lin Quan suddenly looked up and said in a clear voice, "She's here. Get ready to greet her."

Before the words were finished, a semi-transparent door suddenly appeared between the three of them.
