Chapter 928: A Unique Mirror
Chapter 928: A Unique Mirror
The mirror continued without pause.
"A face capable of toppling sects. Eyes filled with temptation. Lips capable of convincing honorable cultivators to make catastrophic decisions. This lady is clearly responsible for many sleepless nights and ruined cultivation hearts."
Han Yu silently agreed with that statement.
Mistress Love Wine looked delighted.
"You hear that? Even the mirror understands me better than Ju Fan does."
Han Yu calmly drank more wine.
The mirror continued admiring her.
"The elegance. The posture. The confidence. This mirror estimates that ninety percent of men lose rational thought within three breaths of meeting this lady."
Daoist Blood Pool snorted loudly.
"Only weak-minded fools."
Mistress Love Wine immediately smirked.
"You counted the breaths, did you?"
Daoist Blood Pool nearly sputtered while Daoist Snake Face quietly laughed into his cup.
Han Yu observed the mirror carefully now.
"Is it some kind of appraisal tool?" he asked.
Master Swamp Leech nodded eagerly.
"It is a High Grade Spirit Tool."
That revelation surprised several people.
Master Swamp Leech continued explaining.
"I found it at a roadside stall in a mortal city. The jewels are fake, so everyone thought it was merely decorative."
Han Yu stared at the mirror again.
A High Grade Spirit Tool sold on the roadside...
Only someone like Master Swamp Leech would somehow stumble into such nonsense.
"I tested it afterward," Master Swamp Leech continued. "It can inspect treasures and people. Though... its personality is unusual."
"That is one way to describe it," Daoist Snake Face said dryly.
Lady Rot Rose smiled faintly before turning the mirror toward Daoist Blood Pool.
Immediately the mirror lit up again.
"Oh! What overwhelming physical magnificence! Such muscles! Such vitality! This honorable expert appears capable of wrestling dragons with his bare hands while simultaneously intimidating mountains into submission!"
Daoist Blood Pool instantly straightened proudly.
"Finally. A spirit tool with proper judgment."
The mirror was still going.
"These arms contain enough explosive force to crush steel. This chest resembles a fortress wall carved by divine craftsmen. Such heroic masculinity is rare!"
Daoist Blood Pool was practically glowing now.
Mistress Love Wine rolled her eyes so hard Han Yu wondered if they might fall out.
"Congratulations. You found a mirror that wants to marry your biceps."
Next Lady Rot Rose pointed the mirror toward Daoist Snake Face.
The mirror paused briefly.
"Oho..."
Daoist Snake Face calmly sipped wine.
"What a fascinating existence. Elegant scales with refined venomous beauty. Predatory grace hidden beneath restraint. Eyes sharp enough to terrify prey before the poison even arrives."
Daoist Snake Face actually looked mildly impressed.
The mirror continued smoothly.
"This honorable cultivator resembles a serpent emperor disguised in human robes. Mysterious. Deadly. Sophisticated."
Mistress Love Wine pointed dramatically.
"See? Snake freak."
Daoist Snake Face simply smiled pleasantly.
Han Yu suspected the man had long since accepted his fate.
Then finally...
The mirror was pointed toward Han Yu.
The spirit tool practically became excited.
"Oh! Oh my! A rare specimen indeed!"
Han Yu immediately felt danger.
The mirror practically purred.
"What sharp features. What controlled darkness. This honorable cultivator possesses the appearance of a villain capable of smiling politely while bankrupting entire clans."
The others instantly looked at Han Yu.
Han Yu almost coughed.
"That is oddly specific," Lady Rot Rose commented.
The mirror continued enthusiastically.
"Elegant robes. Cold demeanor. Calculating eyes. This one clearly excels at convincing people to willingly hand over fortunes while thanking him afterward and and even scamming the heavens into owing him a favor themselves."
Mistress Love Wine slammed the table laughing.
"IT REALLY DOES UNDERSTAND HIM!"
Even Daoist Blood Pool nodded reluctantly.
"Accurate."
Han Yu stared blankly at the mirror.
Why did this spirit tool feel more observant than most cultivators?
The mirror was still talking.
"Furthermore, this honorable cultivator possesses tremendous hidden charm. Dangerous for hearts and wallets alike. Recommended caution for all nearby women."
Mistress Love Wine immediately leaned onto Han Yu’s shoulder again.
"Too late."
Han Yu pushed her away automatically.
At that point everyone’s gaze slowly shifted toward the final person remaining.
Master Swamp Leech.
The pavilion suddenly became very quiet.
Master Swamp Leech instantly sensed danger.
"...do not."
Mistress Love Wine grinned maliciously.
"Oh, we absolutely must."
Master Swamp Leech tried hiding his face behind his sleeves.
Unfortunately for him, Mistress Love Wine was far too fast.
She snatched the mirror instantly and pointed it directly at him.
The mirror froze.
Everyone waited.
The mirror trembled slightly.
"Uhh..."
Silence.
"...hmm..."
The spirit tool seemed genuinely confused.
Even Han Yu leaned forward slightly now.
The mirror continued awkwardly.
"This honorable individual..."
Another pause.
"...possesses..."
Longer pause.
"...a very unique..."
The mirror actually sounded distressed.
"...appearance."
Mistress Love Wine nearly collapsed laughing already.
The mirror struggled onward heroically.
"This one believes this honorable cultivator may perhaps exist beyond the limits of this mirror’s appraisal capabilities."
Silence filled the pavilion for one second.
Then Mistress Love Wine exploded into hysterical laughter.
"THE MIRROR GAVE UP!"
Even Daoist Snake Face finally lost composure and lowered his head while laughing quietly into his cup.
Lady Rot Rose covered her mouth elegantly while chuckling.
Daoist Blood Pool outright slapped the table roaring with laughter.
Master Swamp Leech covered his face completely.
"...I knew this would happen..."
The mirror awkwardly added one final statement.
"Please understand. This humble mirror was not spiritually prepared."
That only made the laughter even worse.
Han Yu honestly began wondering if Master Swamp Leech was going to develop a Heart Demon tonight.
After the chaos surrounding the magical mirror finally settled down and Master Swamp Leech recovered from yet another devastating emotional blow, the atmosphere within the pavilion gradually became calmer once more.
Han Yu leaned back slightly while drinking another cup of Rose Life Wine and looked around the table thoughtfully.
Then a realization suddenly struck him.
"...Wait."
Everyone looked toward him.
Han Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Was I the only one who prepared gifts for everyone?"
Silence filled the pavilion for a second.
Then Daoist Blood Pool burst into loud laughter again.
"You really are still a newcomer."
