The Exorcist

The mirror’s surfaced flashed and the two figures inside collapsed to the floor, hands over their ears. They could clearly hear Xiao Xia, and her shout had stunned them both. Xiao Xia quickly fell silent, a plan forming in her mind.

“Hong Hao Hao, you look really ugly like this.” She whispered softly. She sensed Hong Hao Hao glaring at the world outside the mirror before pouncing over. Not only had she heard her, she was extremely pissed. Hong Hao Hao’s face grew larger and larger, but before she could pass through the mirror, she shrunk again, seemingly pulled back by someone.

Xiao Xia knew it was Ah Bai. When she looked closely, she indeed saw the two little figures in the mirror fighting again. However, due to her fit of anger, Hong Hao Hao’s attacks were disorganized, while Ah Bai was no longer dodging clumsily and had the opportunity to reposition herself. Xiao Xia could only hope Ah Bai understood her intentions. If she drew closer to the mirror’s surface, it would make carrying out their plan easier.

Ah Bai had seen that their situation was unfavorable. They would eventually fall to Hong Hao Hao at this rate. Seeing Xiao Xia’s bone necklace possessed strong spell power, her plan was to lure Hong Hao Hao into the mirror and engage her within the smaller space. Then, she would try to leave the mirror first and have the bone chain seal Hong Hao Hao within before she could follow her out.

The mirror was hers while she had been alive, and had some spiritual power. She was able to control it, and thus she set this trap up.

“What else do you have apart from your looks? Do men love anything about you outside of your appearance?” Xiao Xia continued speaking. “Unfortunately, you died and your body vanished along with you. Si Ma Nan also died, so no one is left to teach you how to live again by possessing someone else. You no longer have the beauty you value most. You’re just a corpse. Can your charms cover up the stench of decay?”

“You’re seeking death!” A tiny voice rang out. Although it was quiet, it pierced Xiao Xia’s eardrums. She held back her discomfort and continued speaking. “Although you try your best to maintain your appearance, when you use your spiritual power, your appearance will change. Have you ever looked in the mirror while battling? Your face is completely black. Your wrinkles can be scene a mile away. Also, also, your eye sockets are gone and only your eyeballs remain. Gosh, a beauty ended up in such a state! Oh dear, your chest has deflated, and where’s your waist? Why are all your teeth exposed?”

Xiao Xia was talking nonsense. In reality, Hong Hao Hao’s illusion was well maintained. When she used her power elsewhere, her appearance did change a little, but it was just her face darkening and looking more sinister. However, Hong Hao Hao was too concerned about her beauty. It was her strongest obsession in life and death because, whether it was the mortal world she coveted or the underworld she tried to escape, it was her only weapon. She never thought about being independent and self-reliant. She only cared about her appearance, only thought about how to remain attractive to men, so every word of Xiao Xia’s pierced her heart.

She reminded herself not to be fooled, not to pay attention, but she couldn’t help but get distracted, and at that moment, Ah Bai slowly shifted changed positions. They were initially standing parallel in the mirror. Now, the two figures gradually overlapped. Ah Bai was facing away from the mirror, while Hong Hao Hao was facing it. Ah Bai was approaching the edge of the mirror while Hong Hao Hao actually felt her face while battling.
