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

Chapter 1223 should be destroyed!
Based on this known information, Long Ling deduced this result. While somewhat shocked, she also looked at Yun Ran with mixed feelings.

"If it weren't for your terrible fate, I would think you would soon be like those protagonists in movies who save the world."

Yunran: ...

At that moment, she suddenly felt that it would be great if there was a poison that could make Long Ling mute; his words were really unpleasant to hear.

Long Ling was unaware that Yun Ran intended to poison him and render him mute.

He continued talking to himself, "So what are you going to do now? Are you really going to let that high priest of some temple use you?"

As a disciple of Qingfeng Temple, Yunran wanted to do things she believed were right, and Longling did not object.

However, even knowing that she was being used and that she might be harmed, Long Ling still wanted to know what Yun Ran was really thinking.

Yun Ran lazily sat on her recliner and slowly asked, "When you're in the game of chess, what choices do you think you, as a piece, have?"

Being used as a pawn, Yun Ran felt no anger whatsoever, not even the slightest bit of resentment.

This clearly demonstrates how ingeniously this game of chess was set up.

A truly skilled player is one who can make people willingly enter the game, and even find ways to improve it.

Long Ling clearly understood Yun Ran's subtext. Although it was a bit frustrating, Long Ling couldn't find any way to refute it.

Because even he, a mere pawn, was now willingly joining Yun Ran in the game.

"Ah, no wonder the Dragon Clan's heritage includes a separate line: 'Beware of humans. You humans are truly terrifying!'"

Although he wasn't human, when he was truly being schemed against, even as a dragon spirit, he had no will to resist.

The bronze mirror, which was some distance away, wasn't particularly curious about what Yunran and Longling wanted to say.

However, the two people avoided it and deliberately kept it away, which immediately aroused the bronze mirror's curiosity.

Unfortunately, it's just a two-meter-tall bronze mirror now, without legs, so it can't move at all. Otherwise, it really would want to go over and listen to what they were saying.

The bronze mirror thought it was acting discreetly, but it had been bound by a contract with Yunran.

Yunran would detect even the slightest thought, let alone its current, extremely strong reaction.

Yunran suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the bronze mirror.

Long Ling also subconsciously looked in the direction Yun Ran was looking.

He asked, puzzled, "What are you looking at?"

This area has long been covered by a light shield, so there's no chance of anything unexpected happening.

Yunran's sudden glance in that direction was definitely not just a casual look.

"Oh, it's nothing serious. I just didn't expect that a bronze mirror would evoke such strong curiosity."

Dragon Spirit: ...

What kind of curiosity is this? A bronze mirror that has come to life, having curiosity—shouldn't that sound terrifying?

Images from horror movies immediately flashed through Long Ling's mind...

Long Ling, who was always fearless, suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

"This bronze mirror is really strange. I don't know why Ancestor Qingyangzi and the others left it behind."

In my opinion, these magical artifacts, ostensibly used to subdue demons and monsters but actually designed to collect all sorts of resentful energy, should be destroyed! No one knows when this resentment will transform into demonic energy and wreak havoc on the land!
When Long Ling and Yun Ran's gazes fell on the bronze mirror, the bronze mirror seemed to sense something.

At that moment, when the dragon spirit unleashed its undisguised malice upon the bronze mirror, the mirror instinctively activated its defensive mechanism.

This scene immediately amused Long Ling.

"Heh, how interesting! This bronze mirror has such a strong perception; it can't be kept!"

The dragon spirit's hand instantly transformed from a human's palm into a gigantic dragon claw.

When sunlight shines on the light shield, the light is already refracted, and now that light falls directly onto the dragon spirit's claws.

A cold light, unique to metal, emanated from the dragon spirit's claws.

Bronze mirror: ...

It was right that it wasn't wary of this suddenly appearing fellow.

The dragon claw looked incredibly sharp. Although the bronze mirror was very confident in its own hardness, it still trembled slightly when faced with the dragon spirit's enormous claw.

The entire mirror surface suddenly displayed several large characters.

We're all on the same side, let's talk things out.

Many creatures possess their own spirituality, especially when they encounter danger, their self-rescue methods are endless.

Artifacts like bronze mirrors, which have long since developed sentience, can easily beg for mercy when they sense something is wrong.

Not to mention, Tong Jing had experienced being beaten by Yun Ran before. What kind of kind-hearted person could be someone who hangs out with Yun Ran?

At this moment, Tong Jing didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him admitting defeat first.

Long Ling looked at the bronze mirror, then at Yun Ran, and asked, "What exactly did you do to it before?"

When Long Ling first saw the bronze mirror, he witnessed its unruly nature firsthand.

Their posture clearly indicated they wished to die together with each other.

Now look what's happened! He's only just revealed his claws, hasn't even made a move yet, and the bronze mirror is already backing down.

If Yun Ran hadn't stirred things up, Long Ling would never believe it.

Yun Ran casually replied, "Oh, I didn't do anything. It's just that the bronze mirror was being a bit disobedient, so I gave it a beating."

"It's that simple?"

Yun Ran nodded affirmatively: "It's that simple."

The only difference was that her fists were a bit harder, and her peach wood sword was a bit more powerful, easily slicing through the bronze mirror. She also used heavenly lightning to threaten it slightly.

However, there is no need to go into detail about these things, since she is actually quite low-key most of the time.

Looking at Yun Ran's appearance, Long Ling suddenly felt a bit of a sore throat. When it came to showing off, Yun Ran was indeed an expert.

Long Ling was no longer willing to watch Yun Ran show off, so he withdrew his dragon claws and slowly strolled to the bronze mirror.

Long Ling, who had only come to take a casual look, widened her eyes when she saw herself in the mirror.

"No, is this ugly monster really me?"
