After dinner, Ruochen refused to let Fan Nuoxi wash the dishes and asked her to sit at the table.

Fan Nuoxi said dissatisfiedly, "You said this is my home, how can I let guests wash dishes?"

Hehe, he is so nice. He even helped me wash the dishes. I hate washing dishes the most!

Even if such a good-looking person is a liar, she doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage since she can cook, wash dishes and entertain people!

"Cooking is always tiring for you, so washing the dishes is something I should be the one to do. Besides, such chores are not good for your health." Ruochen replied while washing the dishes.

Fan Nuoxi felt warm at heart when he heard these words.

He actually has such insight. I guess there must be some reason why he becomes a liar.

As long as he doesn't go too far, let him be.

Afterwards, Fan Nuoxi took a walk along the promenade to digest the food and took in the nearby scenery.

“These flowers are so beautiful!”

She couldn't help but sigh.

Ruochen agreed, "It's indeed beautiful." But you can't move.

Thinking back then, he was deceived by these flowers...

"Huh? I clearly remember that there was a big hole in the window over there, but after just a meal, it looks like it has never been broken!" Suddenly, Fan Nuoxi saw the window of the room they came from and said in surprise.

Then, she looked at Ruochen, "Brother Ruochen, shall we go over and take a look?"

"Yeah!" Ruochen nodded.

After a while, the two arrived in front of the house.

Fan Nuoxi noticed dried blood on the ground with her sharp eyes. She subconsciously squatted down and touched it.

Why is there blood here?

Maybe I was too hungry before and didn't notice this...

She subconsciously began to suspect Ruochen.

His clothes were still in tatters and had not been changed yet, showing signs of a fight.

And there just happened to be a small pool of blood here. Could it be that... all the friends he mentioned actually died at his hands?

Thinking of this possibility, Fan Nuoxi stood up with a chill on his back, rushed into the house and closed the door tightly.

The speed was so fast that Ruochen had no time to stop it.

"Xixi, open the door--" Looking at the figure leaning against the door, Ruochen knocked on it.

Fan Nuoxi leaned against the door and dared not move, "Go away!"

Ruochen slowly put down his hand, "I won't leave!"

Hearing this, Fan Nuoxi didn't know where he got the courage from, he picked up a nearby red tasseled spear and opened the door, "Then return my friend's life!"

The moment the red tasseled spear appeared, Ruochen was stunned for a moment and quickly dodged.

"Xixi, did you misunderstand something?"

"You murderer, you killed my friends and still pretended to stay by my side. Don't blame me for taking your life!" Fan Nuoxi looked at Ruochen murderously, and a powerful aura different from usual was emitted from her body.

This pressure actually made Ruochen feel a little breathless.

Obviously, Xixi didn't have any spiritual power fluctuations, but she had such a strong pressure. Could it be...

"Xixi, listen to my explanation!" Seeing that the red tasseled spear was about to pierce him, Ruochen stopped it in time.

The red tasseled spear stopped for a moment two inches away from Ruochen's heart, and was then held by Fan Nuoxi and stood beside him.

"In that case, I'll listen to your excuses!" Fan Nuoxi thought that at least she didn't get poisoned after eating the food he cooked, so she gave him a break.

"Can you tell me first why you treat me like this?" Ruochen asked cautiously, with some sweat beads already oozing out of his forehead.

Xixi, it would be better if you could restrain your pressure...

I really can't hold it any longer--

Fan Nuoxi pointed the red tasseled spear at the dried blood not far away and asked, "Whose blood is that? Why are there some of your shoe prints on it?"

Ruochen looked at the red tasseled spear reaching towards him and subconsciously took a few steps back. Then he looked at where Fan Nuoxi pointed and explained, "That's your blood. You cut your palm with a dagger."

Hearing this, Fan Nuoxi looked at her clean palm and said, "You are lying, my hand is fine, how can there be a wound?"

Ruochen opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

Suddenly, he remembered the paper crane that had always been with him. He suppressed his timidity and slowly placed the paper crane in Fan Nuoxi's hand. The image of the two of them here before appeared above the paper crane.

"You'll know after you look at this."

Fan Nuoxi actually believed it the moment the paper crane landed in her hand, but she still didn't quite understand, "Then where did my friends go?"

It turned out that his clothes were torn by me...

Didn't I misunderstand him?

"It's in the bracelet you are wearing." Ruochen saw that Fan Nuoxi seemed to be gradually calming down, so he pretended to be calm.

Fan Nuoxi shook the bracelet and indeed sensed some different aura.

Perhaps, Ruochen was right, her friend really was in this bracelet.

Fan Nuoxi quickly threw away the red tassel spear and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, I shouldn't have hurt you!"

Before Ruochen could say anything, Fan Nuoxi suddenly noticed herself in the picture. There were fiery red lines on her face. She quickly dropped the paper crane and rushed into the house to look for a mirror.

Ruochen put the paper crane away again and then walked in carefully.

Could it be that Xixi remembered something?

After entering the house, Ruochen looked at the things scattered on the ground, not knowing whether to go forward or backward.

At this moment, he saw a bloody piece of paper and a bloody bamboo slip suddenly appear at his feet.

Ruochen was about to pick it up, but he heard Fan Nuoxi's scream, "Ah - how did I become like this?"

The sound was a bit harsh, and Ruochen's feet went weak and he almost fell down.

He used his spiritual power to collect some things he thought were useful and quickly came to Fan Nuoxi.

"Xixi, what's wrong?"

"Brother Ruochen, do I look like the person in the mirror now? Scary..." Fan Nuoxi looked at Ruochen with tears in her eyes, wanting to get a negative answer.

Fan Nuoxi at this moment is indeed very different from before.

When she was eating, there were still large patches of fiery red lines on her face, but until now, no one knew for what reason, the lines on her face only left a hint of red at the corners of her eyes, which made her big watery eyes look particularly pitiful.

Yes, her eyes have returned to their previous appearance, but they are different from before.

For Ruochen, as long as he looked into Fan Nuoxi's eyes, he would subconsciously believe that everything she said was true.

It was not until he turned his head and saw what Fan Nuoxi was holding in his hand that he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

What Fan Nuoxi was holding in his hand was indeed a mirror, but that mirror was definitely not an ordinary object.

What was reflected in the mirror was not Fan Nuoxi's face, but a monster.

The monster had the same face as Fan Nuoxi, but her face was covered with mottled blue lines, and she was looking at Fan Nuoxi viciously with her mouth open.

The pointed teeth in her mouth made her face even more terrifying, not to mention her red eyes, which seemed as if she was ready to tear the world apart at any time.

Ruochen stared at it blankly for a few seconds, then subconsciously threw the mirror away.

"Xixi, that's not you, don't look!"

As he spoke, Ruochen covered Fan Nuoxi's eyes with one hand and trapped the mirror with a formation with the other.

When the formation fell on the mirror, Ruochen saw something like a bone sticking out of the mirror. The moment the formation fell, a shrill cry was heard.

Ruochen quickly blocked Fan Nuoxi's hearing as well as his own.

"Xixi, stay here and don't move. Wait for me obediently!" Ruochen rubbed Fan Nuoxi's head and transmitted the message through his spiritual consciousness.

Then, he tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and walked towards the mirror on the ground.

Such a dangerous thing, no matter if he can move it or not, he must find a way to destroy it...

If the thing in the mirror hurts Xixi, he will be to blame!

Looking at the mirror that had returned to its calm state, Ruochen blinked, and his inky black eyes revealed a beautiful blue color. He said murderously, "No matter who you are, don't even think about escaping my eyes!"

Ruochen recited a few sentences in front of the mirror, and the formation on the mirror began to change.

After a while, Ruochen could see the true face in the mirror clearly.

There was a monster imprisoned in the mirror. Originally, the monster had no face, only a set of sharp teeth and many tentacles. But after Fan Nuoxi saw it, the monster turned into Fan Nuoxi's appearance, but it could only last for a quarter of an hour.

Under Ruochen's coercion, it has now revealed its true form.
