Chapter 1875: The Truth of the Life Mirror

~7 min read 1,330 words

She wore a red wedding dress, which revealed a hint of tragic beauty in the darkness.

In all fairness, she was a very beautiful woman, especially wearing a wedding dress, which further set off her temperament.

Such a girl was not common in the countryside at that time; she should have married a desirable husband and then lived out the rest of her life in peace.

But she never imagined that she would end up in that state.

"I have already said that the human world is too bitter; coming here once is enough," Yu Lan said leisurely. "I do not want to enter Reincarnation again, nor do I want to start all over again. I do not need you to deliver me, nor do I need you people to pretend and put on an act here."

"No one is putting on an act; we just want to help you," Tang Yi said.

"Help me? Don't you get any benefits from it?" Yu Lan laughed miserably. "If you send me to Reincarnation, won't you be able to accumulate merit? People in this world are all very hypocritical."

"That's right, helping you does bring merit. If there were no merit, I would have slapped you into smoke and clouds long ago; would we still be here wasting words with you?" Chen Yu said. "But do you think there is any meaning in continuing like this?"

"Your parents only realized they had been deceived after your incident. It wasn't that they wanted to sell you to that ugly monster, but that they had been schemed against by others."

"Not long after you died, your mother died of grief, your father was distraught and fell into the river and drowned, and your younger brother... traveled everywhere to seek justice for you, never married in his life, and now remains a lonely man in the Northeast. He is old and frail, but he has always been thinking of you, his sister."

"What did you say?" Yu Lan's body trembled. For so many years, she had always believed that her parents were greedy for money and sold her to that ugly monster, which led to her suffering endless grievances and dying.

But she did not expect the truth to be like this; her parents died because of her, and her younger brother never married just to seek justice for her.

"Everything I said is true. I can take you to see what happened after you left. These things can be seen in your Life Mirror," Chen Yu said. "Are you willing to go and see?"

The expression on Yu Lan's face changed constantly; she was shaken.

All along, her heart had been filled with resentment because she felt her grievances had not been dispelled.

She hated her parents, thinking they were greedy for money, and hated her younger brother because she felt her parents favored boys over girls and sold her just so her brother could marry a wife.

Actually, she knew that what Chen Yu said was all true, but she just did not expect the truth to be like this.

"Can you... take me to see?" The black energy on Yu Lan's face dissipated a little, which showed that her resentment was no longer so thick.

"Of course I can, let's go..." Chen Yu waved his right hand, and everything around Yu Lan changed.

In the Life Mirror, there were the experiences of her life, as well as the conditions of her relatives.

The past events were vivid, unfolding before her eyes like a scroll.

She saw herself in the prime of her youth, walking on the bustling street with her sisters and best friends.

She saw herself in her youth, full of longing for the future.

At that time, she was truly young.

Time passed steadily, and the images in the Life Mirror changed; her elderly mother died of grief because of her.

Her father was distraught and fell into the river and drowned.

And her younger brother, in order to seek justice for her, kept walking between various departments, gnawing on steamed buns when hungry, drinking tap water when thirsty, and was even beaten to the ground by local ruffians.

Everything, everything, made Yu Lan's heart ache. She slowly knelt on the ground, covering her face, and large tears flowed out from between her fingers.

"Dad, Mom, Brother, I'm sorry... I misunderstood you."

The tears in her eyes instantly turned into blood tears, and everything around her suddenly changed again. Underworld Fire rose in the room, and the cold fire burned everything.

Tang Yi could not hold on for a moment. Although this fire was not a visible flame, the bone-chilling feeling of the Underworld Fire made him suffer immensely.

Chen Yu beckoned with his right hand, and a barrier appeared, enveloping Tang Yi and isolating the surrounding Underworld Fire.

Tang Yi's expression immediately relaxed, and a look of relief appeared on his face. Chen Yu had isolated the power of the Underworld Fire; now, even if the entire Domain Boundary were Underworld Fire, it could not burn him.

On the other hand, Qingfeng, who was on the side, did not have such good luck. He screamed, rolling and wailing on the ground, trying to extinguish the Underworld Fire on his body, but no matter how hard he tried, the faint Underworld Fire on his body could not be extinguished.

He screamed and threw himself to Chen Yu's side with a thud: "Save, save me..."

"The eldest disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, what a resounding title. Is it appropriate for you to beg me for help now?" Chen Yu glanced at him and smiled. "And isn't this what you are good at? This is just the Underworld Fire caused by Yu Lan being immersed in the sorrow of the past."

"You endure it a bit more; it will pass soon. Of course, if your cultivation is not enough, these Underworld Fires will burn your soul and completely erase your soul from this world."

"I admit defeat, I admit defeat now, I beg you to save me." Qingfeng only wanted Chen Yu to help him now, because that feeling of pain deep into the soul was something that even an Immortal could not bear. He knelt on the ground in pain and begged bitterly.

Now this guy no longer had the heart to fight with Tang Yi for the jurisdiction of Chinatown, and he no longer put on a stinking face, saying he was the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

In the face of life and death, saving one's life is the most important thing. Now this guy only prayed to save his life and survive from this Underworld Fire; he really dared not think about anything else.

"You admit defeat just like that? It's only just begun, how boring." Chen Yu glanced at him, and seeing that this guy really couldn't hold on, he pointed his right hand, and a strand of Primordial Qi enveloped him.

Only then did Qingfeng let out a long breath. He slumped on the ground, gasping for air; he never wanted to repeat the experience he just had.

Chen Yu then turned around and looked at Yu Lan, who was still unable to extricate herself from her sorrow.

Yu Lan's eyes shed blood tears. She was in deep self-reproach; the death of her parents and the fact that her brother was now a lonely man were all because of her.

Yet she only knew her own sorrow, not knowing that her family was also living in dire straits.

"Let go of what should be let go. From now on, let flowers be flowers, let trees be trees; we have traveled a journey together, and we shall never meet again in this life," Chen Yu said.

"My parents... have they entered Reincarnation now?" Yu Lan slowly raised her head, and the surrounding Domain suddenly disappeared; several people appeared in the courtyard of the villa.
