Chapter 406 The Mirror of the Sun's Retrospection is Yours Now
"It's been three days already..."
In the pitch-black turbulent flow of time and space, the inner demon and Xue Lan lay side by side on an extremely dim magic seal, falling endlessly downwards.
"Your little system isn't going to never come back, is it?"
The inner demon's voice was full of anxiety as it raised its hand and grabbed Xue Lan's collar again.
Xue Lan gently opened her eyes, her voice filled with helplessness:
"Everything in the world has two sides when it comes to choices."
"We are now at a critical juncture, with the possibility of being saved by Xue Tong, or the possibility of having everything reversed and being sent back to more than ten years ago."
After saying this, the woman slowly sat up from the mudra and took out a candied hawthorn from her sleeve.
Xue Lan's voice carried a teasing laugh:
"Zombie candied hawthorn, would you like some?"
The inner demon really wanted to grab Xue Lan's hand and shove all the candied hawthorns down this person's throat.
All he does after spending so much time with Xue Tong is eat.
And that little system, after relying on Xue Lan's nurturing and soul-gathering, completely forgot about her; it's just impossible to tame it...
Halfway through their thoughts, a ball of pure white light appeared before them.
The main system's cold voice rang in Xue Lan's ears:
"Three days have passed."
In the pitch-black space, Xue Lan did not deliberately estimate the time, but she knew in her heart that the main system was not lying.
Xue Tong did not return.
The inner demon's voice carried a malicious laugh:
"Xue Lan. This is the price of trusting people."
Xue Lan remained silent, continuing to eat her candied hawthorn.
Xue Lan had forgotten which stall she bought the candied hawthorn from; the hawthorn pits were small and broken, making them very difficult to eat.
While munching on the candied hawthorn in her hand, Xue Lan wondered about Xue Tong's situation.
If the girl hasn't returned by this time, it's most likely that, just as the inner demon said, she won't be coming back.
The woman rubbed her temples and sighed softly.
The woman slowly spoke to the main system:
"let's start!"
At worst, after everything is reversed, she can use the Sun-Tracing Mirror to turn back time again in the timeline of more than ten years ago.
Xue Tong calls this "stepping on the right foot with the left foot," which is also a solution.
The main system obeyed Xue Lan's command, and a data chain like a flowing river appeared in front of the snow-white ball of light.
The inner demon's voice was filled with an extremely shrill rage:
"Xue Lan!"
"Do you have to do this?"
"Are all these years of planning going to come to nothing?"
Xue Lan turned her head slightly to look at the inner demon, and then looked at the dark demonic energy that was corroding her fingers.
"Rather than letting you go, we might as well both perish together..."
"It's only been a few days, and you've already sunk to the point of wanting to perish together with your inner demons?"
In the silent darkness, the girl's clear voice was like a ray of light.
Xue Lan abandoned her previous "what's the use of this" attitude and instead slapped her inner demon across the face.
The woman's hoarse voice was filled with manic laughter:
"I won the bet!"
……
"Can Master Xuanji cultivate with your body?"
When Xue Tong dragged Xue Lan back to the bottom of a cliff in the Wan Gong Fang secret realm, he looked at Xue Lan's deformed neck and spoke.
Xue Lan messed around with her inner demons in the spacetime turbulence, and unexpectedly regained her spiritual power.
The woman waved to Xue Tong and used her spiritual power to heal herself.
Xue Tong held the small mirror formed from the Sun-Tracing Mirror seal in his hand and spoke:
Where did the inner demons go?
When Xue Tong rescued people, he only pulled Xue Lan with him.
After Xue Lan finished healing, apart from the lingering pain in her demonic soul that had been bitten by her inner demon, she felt refreshed and invigorated.
The woman pointed to her heart:
"The inner demons reside naturally within my heart."
"Do you remember what happened to you before?"
Xue Tong looked at Xue Lan's eyes, which had been covered with white film again after escaping the turbulent flow of time and space, and gently parted her lips:
"You knew from the beginning that I wasn't a system?"
Xue Lan hummed in agreement.
"Yeah, otherwise, how crazy would I be to keep a dead thing in my sea of consciousness for fun?"
"The main system knows about this too? You two have a deal."
Xue Lan nodded.
Xue Tong recalled Shang Xun and the Green Willow Demon Lord of Yandu who had attacked him in Wuci Town:
"You all know I am a spirit, but I'm the only one who doesn't?"
Xue Lan felt somewhat embarrassed, as if she had been caught deceiving a young girl.
The woman held her hands protectively in front of her:
“I already told you you have a home to go back to, but you insist that you are a legitimate… a good system from a legitimate production line.”
The woman muttered, "It's not my fault, go ask the main system."
Xue Tong wanted to ask the main system, but the main system had already disappeared the moment Xue Tong appeared.
No matter who calls, it won't come out.
Xue Lan knew that her relationship with the main system was a transaction, but this transaction was far too fragile.
Facing Xue Tong, who was radiating a low mood, the woman tried to change the subject.
"Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong, I'm so happy that you're willing to come back and save me!"
Xue Tong had never seen Xue Lan's acting so stiff; the girl's tone was icy:
"Aren't you afraid I'll run away with the Sun-Tracing Mirror?"
Xue Lan smiled gently: "Lord Wolf King isn't a being with three heads and six arms. One day he'll have to trust others, won't he?"
"Oh!"
Xue Tong let out a long "oh," her tone full of sarcasm.
The girl placed the Sun-Tracing Mirror into Xue Lan's palm:
"Back to you!"
The person opposite him chuckled softly.
Xue Lan played with the small mirror in her hand. This small mirror had just completed the small fragment that Xue Lan had left with her, and now it was a complete mirror.
Xue Tong asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
Xue Lan shoved the small mirror back into Xue Tong's hand:
"Do you know why the inner demon didn't try to steal the Sun-Tracing Mirror just now?"
"Why?" Xue Tong had a bad feeling.
Xue Lan smiled faintly, her tone gentle yet firm:
"The Sun-Tracing Mirror is a magical seal; it only transforms into a mirror when one has fully recognized its master."
The woman's words made Xue Tong's mind freeze for a moment.
The girl spoke haltingly:
"What do you mean?"
Xue Lan pointed to the small mirror:
"The Sun-Tracing Mirror is yours now!"
This was her last resort to control her inner demons.
She and her inner demon were originally one; whatever she could use, her inner demon could also use.
After the demonic thoughts within the demon soul were drawn in, it was really not safe for me to keep the Sun-Tracing Mirror here.
Xue Lan's grayish-white pupils curved:
"I have the Emberlight Sword, and Emberlight only loves me. It won't help the inner demons."
“I have the Sun-Tracing Mirror, and the Sun-Tracing Mirror now recognizes you as its master.”
"You like me more, so you won't help your inner demons..."
"Xue Tong..."
"Do you get me?"
Xue Tong understood. The girl looked at Xue Lan, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Xue Lan, do you see yourself as a demon that could lose control at any moment?"
