Chapter 386: Chapter 386

386 A Mirror

“This” Luo Xiang’s eyes widened, that thing, can it be really handy?

Previously at the Li’s residence.

Li Mo handed him an object which no bigger than a palm with a red rope hanger at the end, it was a hairpin that Master Li Mo often wore in his bun, which is an instant turned into a small mirror with unique carvings on the edges.

“I don’t know whether this mirror will work or not, because the Li family has never used it before, according to the story, this mirror can only be used once in a lifetime to kill the demon in the heart, that is to say, whoever attacks this mirror, will get an attack twice by its own strength, although, it may be just a legend, but as a charm, please take this with you, Your Majesty,” said old man Li.

Luo Xiang grabbed the small mirror hanging from his waist.

Huo Li straightened himself back up, he was getting angrier, whatever it was, nothing in this world could beat him, the young man charged back with all his might, took out flames from his both hands and threw them towards Luo Xiang and Bai Ying.

“God damn it! I’ll kill you!” Huo Li’s voice was terrifying.

“No brother!” Chen Ming exclaimed, realising that the man’s strength was far greater than before, and he charged toward Bai Ying and the Crown Prince, in Bai Ying’s current state, they could die silly.

“Younger brother!”

.....

A loud explosion sounded, and the red flames glowed so brightly that it blinded the eyes, all turned to cover their bodies and eyes with their inner strength.

The sound was so loud it even made Chen Ming and the others’ ears ring loudly, unable to hear anything but the ringing sound.

.......

The sun had just set. The dim light was slowly replaced by the oil lamps in the Li family residence. The wind blew gently, blowing a few wind chimes hanging from the backyard of the bungalow, which made some melodious clanging sounds.

The friction of the bamboo sticks that grow tightly, the sound of water falling on a seesaw made of bamboo stalks above the lotus pond, makes the atmosphere not so quiet. The air blows getting colder, which obviously makes people reluctant to linger outside the house.

In one of the largest guest rooms in a medium-sized bungalow not far from the Li family’s main house.

Luo Xiang raised his hand to caress Bai Ying’s cheek who was still lying soundly asleep on the bed. Lifting his hand, kissed it gently.

“My Ying Ying” Luo Xiang lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Bai Ying’s, so close that he could hear the sound of his calm breathing.

“Hey, thank God”

.....

Luo Xiang was able to save Bai Ying and himself from Huo Li’s attack. At the last crucial time, he took out the small mirror that was on his waist and aim it at the young man, right at Huo Li’s attack, from the small mirror flew out red flames resembling living monsters which so big and extremely hot. Crashed Huo Li’s body hard, sending him flying far away from his place.

“Ah!”

Even so, the young man who had been seriously injured from his own attack which turned against him was still able to get up from the fall.

His pair of fiery red eyes, his red flames uncontrollably, with full force came out covering his entire body formed a ball of fire. Bai Ying’s eyes went wide, seeing Huo Li’s red fireball rushing towards them.

“No, Your Majesty!”

The young man shifted Luo Xiang’s body who was hugging him, pushed him behind him, and stood up with his arms open to ignite his white flames, which instantly enlarged and resisted Huo Li’s fierce attack.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded, it was inevitable that the two great powers collided with each other making the surroundings blown away by the hot wind. Of course, the attacks sent Huo Li crashing down with his entire body burning black.

And in his current state, Bai Ying still managed to cast protective energy on the Crown Prince, Chen Ming and the others. Not for him who after exploding such huge flames from his thin body, was still able to stand tall in front of Luo Xiang.

“Ying Ying” though it wasn’t for a long time. Luo Xiang opened his arms to catch Bai Ying who fell as his protective energy disappeared.

Eventually.

Luo Xiang carried Bai Ying’s limp body out of the ruins of the now-defunct Black Crow’s base. As they passed the field, they saw the body of that young man lying motionless with smoke still emanating from his burnt body, his skin blackened, wide eyes. He must be dead already, thought Luo Xiang and the others as they left him there, nothing could withstand Bai Ying’s flames attack, not even Xiao Wu had to succumb to him.

Bai Ying was exhausted, he used his inner strength so much that he kept sleeping for a few days, for sure, one problem was solved. The Black Crow Clan was destroyed overnight and left nothing in its large building, of course, all the elders and their men fled to find another hiding place, or build another base.

However, one thing that Luo Xiang still had to ask was, who was that Huo Li?

How a young man like that was able to obtain the fire elemental power of the flaming red Bird, it was naturally his, that terrifying power, truly belonged to the vermilion bird.

In the living room of the Li family residence.

Luo Xiang was already sitting in the living room with Li Mo and others, Chen Ming didn’t join there as he took turns watching Bai Ying who was still not awake.

Li Mo stroked his short beard. Thinking out loud.

“Hemh, the red vermilion turned into a human? That could happen, but even if he transformed into a human, it took him a long time to adapt to the conditions of his mortal body. It took a lot of practice and meditation, he had to adapt his old powers to his new vessel. It’s not easy, Your Majesty.”

“But, there’s a possibility that it can happen, right?” Luo Xiang asked.

Li Mo nodded.

“Could be, but, in doing so, it means that the young man might not be defeated, much less killed.”

Hearing that Luo Xiang widened his eyes. They clearly saw that the young man’s body had been scorched by Bai Ying’s devastating attack, he didn’t look like he would be able to move anymore, let alone still be alive. But the Crown Prince turned to Bei Yau not far beside him, who understood the meaning of the Crown Prince’s gaze. The bodyguard lowered his head while clenching his two hands in front of his chest and excused himself from the room taking Ge Lu with him.

Luo Xiang held his breath for a moment. Looked at the small celestial mirror, that he borrowed from Master Li the other day. And indeed, the mirror saved them, that extraordinary thing, that had never been used before and was now turned into an ordinary object, because it could only be used once in a lifetime.

As it turned out, the Li family legend story a hundred years ago was true, even Master Li Mo himself didn’t believe it until now.

“Uncle Li, thank you for lending me this thing, but, now it’s become a common thing, next time, we might not be able to use it against such an overly powerful enemy again.”

Li Mo smiled. He saw a small object on the table beside him.

“Heh, Your Majesty, in essence, this kind of power is indeed only God who can resist it, and it is used at a very opportune time. That’s why it can only be used once because of its prowess, otherwise, humans will become arrogant and use its power arbitrarily.”

Luo Xiang nodded. He grew up with the philosophy of official Li from childhood until the old man retired ten years ago, of course, he understood his way of thinking eloquently.

Luo Xiang smiled, he didn’t expect to be able to listen to the advice of the man who used to be very sorry for him because he had always been the target of the Second Prince and other princes. With the determination and upbringing of the old man in front of him, Luo Xiang grew into a man who was full of confidence and had a broad outlook. He was very grateful to have known him before and very grateful, now to be able to get to know him again.

“Uncle Li, the palace still needs a history teacher like you, if uncle doesn’t mind, you can still occupy one of the positions in the palace, your retirement, doesn’t look pleasant.”

Luo Xiang’s sharp voice hit the target, it made the old man chuckle.

“Hehehehe oh well, does this old man look so boring? I am very honoured, Your Majesty, but, am I this old root still worthy of the position of teacher, after all, I have been left behind so many years. Perhaps, I’m not worthy at all.”
