Chapter 295: Red Mark
Seeing where Bai Hanyun was looking, Feng Xiyan explained, "Fairy Bai, that bronze mirror is the one that produces the supplies and water you bestowed upon us."
At his words, Bai Hanyun thought, ’No way... Isn’t that my antique mirror? If this one belongs to Feng Xiyan, then what happened to mine?’
Recalling the discussions of parallel worlds she had read on the internet a long time ago, Bai Hanyun took her backpack from Feng Xiyan and pulled out her own antique mirror.
Hurrying to the altar, she compared the two mirrors side by side.
Seeing her holding an identical bronze mirror, Feng Xiyan quickly joined her.
Bai Hanyun examined the two mirrors carefully for a moment before muttering with a hint of realization, "Not right. These two mirrors are different."
Grabbing the one from the altar, she pressed it against her own.
The instant the two mirrors touched each other, a burst of golden light blindingly illuminated them both.
Bai Hanyun quickly turned around and closed her eyes. Acting on instinct, Feng Xiyan shielded Bai Hanyun’s eyes with his palm and shut his own.
In the next second, the golden light grew brighter, then shot into the sky, forming a massive golden pillar that illuminated the surroundings.
Whoosh!
Because of the sudden brightness, a few people came out of their houses.
Noticing the giant golden pillar, someone pointed at the sky and exclaimed, "Look! It’s the golden pillar! Fairy Bai is here!"
Attracted by his shout, the common people quickly looked up while more came out of their houses.
The moment the common people saw the golden pillar expanding outward from the direction of the Feng Army’s barracks, they all fell to their knees one after another.
Bowing deeply, they solemnly said in unison, "This lowly person welcomes Fairy Bai!"
As they kept repeating the words, their solemn greeting echoed through the surroundings and soon attracted the attention of the refugees outside the city gate.
In the living area where the refugees from the Yuezhi Tribe were located, Ha Mi rushed into their small tent and shouted, "Mother, Elder Brother, quickly come out!"
Seeing her flustered expression, Madam Ha asked worriedly, "What’s wrong? What happened? Is there another war?"
Ha Mi didn’t have time to explain, so she quickly helped her mother up and said, "Mother, those city dwellers said that Fairy Bai is visiting us! Let’s go out and take a look!"
Before Madam Ha could react, Ha Mi had already pulled her out of the tent.
Hearing the commotion outside, Ha Tuo hurriedly followed his mother and younger sister. The instant he stepped outside, the bright golden light almost blinded him.
He instinctively closed his eyes and lowered his head. Once his eyes adjusted to the brightness, he slowly opened them.
Seeing that all the citizens of Xiqiang City outside were bowing with their foreheads pressed to the ground, Ha Tuo and the other refugees were stunned.
Just as he was about to ask his neighbor what was happening, Ha Mi pointed at the golden pillar in the distance and exclaimed, "Elder Brother, Mother, look there!"
Following her gaze, Ha Tuo saw the expanding golden pillar. Not knowing what it was, he froze in fear.
A few seconds later, the golden pillar exploded.
Boom!
After the explosion, golden light particles showered down on the entire city and its people.
When the common people saw this, they cheered ecstatically.
"It’s Heaven’s blessing!"
"Fairy Bai brought Heaven’s blessing!"
While the common people celebrated, the soldiers of the Feng Army solemnly knelt on the ground in silence.
Inside the commander’s tent, Bai Hanyun and Feng Xiyan were witnessing something magical.
Floating in the air, Feng Xiyan’s bronze mirror and Bai Hanyun’s antique mirror circled each other, connected by countless thin golden lines.
Before either Bai Hanyun or Feng Xiyan could react, the golden lines shot toward them, wrapping tightly around their wrists.
Swish~! Swish~! Swish~!
Feeling the golden lines tighten, Bai Hanyun let out a painful groan. "Ugh!"
She tried to pull the golden lines off her left wrist, but they didn’t budge at all.
Seeing this, Feng Xiyan quickly reached out to help her. However, the moment his hand touched the golden lines wrapping Bai Hanyun’s left wrist, the golden lines suddenly seeped into both of their wrists.
Whoosh~!
A moment later, a red mark in the shape of a mirror appeared on Bai Hanyun’s right wrist and Feng Xiyan’s left wrist.
As soon as the marks appeared, the bronze mirror and antique mirror turned into golden light and shot into the marks.
When the last golden particle faded, silence fell.
After a long pause, Bai Hanyun muttered in shock, "What just happened?"
Staring at the marks on their wrists, Feng Xiyan suddenly recalled Gu Ying’s words.
My Gui Clan has two ancestral bronze mirrors. This one is the Yin Mirror. The other is the Yang Mirror. They are a pair of immortal artifacts owned by a husband and wife a long, long time ago.
Glancing at Bai Hanyun, Feng Xiyan felt a mix of complicated emotions.
While he was lost in thought, Bai Hanyun snapped back to her senses and exclaimed in panic, "Oh no! Where is my antique mirror?! Without it, I can’t go back!"
At her words, the red mark on her right wrist glowed dimly. A second later, the antique mirror appeared before her, floating in the air.
Seeing this, Bai Hanyun’s eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed, "Hey, did you gain a new skill?"
The antique mirror glowed once as if in response. Then, a word appeared on its surface: [Wife.]
Not understanding what it means, Bai Hanyun scratched her cheek in confusion. "Wife? What wife? Whose wife?"
"Fairy Bai, maybe it means my bronze mirror," Feng Xiyan said as he touched the mark on his wrist.
A second later, the bronze mirror appeared before him, floating in the air.
Pointing at it, Bai Hanyun asked the antique mirror, "Don’t tell me... This is your wife?"
