Chapter 101 - 92: Xia Shuran Awakens

Chapter 101: Chapter 92: Xia Shuran Awakens

8:30 PM.

The rideshare Gu Qing had taken finally pulled up to the front of the Little Fairy Pet Shop.

He quickly pushed the car door open.

He strode quickly towards the shop.

Inside the shop.

Liu Zhiyi was wearing a white, lace-trimmed dress, her legs clad in a pair of sheer, nude stockings. Her lips were painted a sexy, vibrant red, exuding the overwhelming, captivating charm of a young wife.

She looked like a perfectly ripe peach.

The kind of sight that made you want to take a bite and slowly savor the sweet, plump juice within.

As Gu Qing reached the shop’s entrance, he saw the charming and alluring Liu Zhiyi through the clear glass, and his mind couldn’t help but wander.

’Sister Zhiyi really loves wearing stockings.’

’Every time I see her, her long legs are always in a pair of stockings.’

’The variety is a little lacking, though.’

’I’ve only ever seen black and nude.’

’Hmm, or maybe I just haven’t seen her enough times.’

’Once we start meeting more often, maybe I’ll get to see white stockings, fishnets, garter belts, lace, and so on.’

After a moment of instinctual male fantasy, Gu Qing quickly reined in his stray thoughts, pushed open the door, and entered the pet shop.

At that moment, Liu Zhiyi was sitting sideways on the floor, patiently training a kitten.

She sensed someone had entered the shop.

She slowly stood up, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, and lifted her gaze to the entrance.

Seeing it was Gu Qing, she looked a little confused:

"It’s a weekday. What are you doing here at this hour? Shouldn’t you be at school?"

"Sister Zhiyi, I need to talk to you about something urgent."

Gu Qing hurried over to Liu Zhiyi. Without any preamble, he got straight to the point, explaining his recent ordeal and why he had come to find her.

The gentle smile on Liu Zhiyi’s face gradually faded as she listened, her expression turning serious:

"So, where is that Magic Mirror you mentioned?"

"Here."

Gu Qing took out his phone, slid the uncanny Magic Mirror from behind the case, and handed it to Liu Zhiyi.

Liu Zhiyi took the Magic Mirror, first examining its appearance with curiosity. Then, she released her Spiritual Power to carefully sense it before finally reaching a conclusion:

"This is indeed an Extraordinary item. There are traces of Extraordinary Power inside."

"If, as you say, this so-called Magic Mirror is self-aware, it means one of two things: either it has birthed an Artifact Spirit, or it houses a remnant soul."

"In either case, it means this Magic Mirror is far from ordinary. Even among other Extraordinary items, this would be considered a rarity of extremely high value."

At Liu Zhiyi’s words, 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Gu Qing felt a flicker of excitement.

’This Magic Mirror is actually a rare find?’

’Nice! My luck is through the roof tonight.’

’I just came out for a date with my junior and ended up picking up a rare Extraordinary item.’

’She’s my lucky star!’

Liu Zhiyi reminded him, "You need to hide this Magic Mirror well. Don’t let too many people know about it. An innocent man gets into trouble for the treasure he carries. You don’t want to be targeted."

Then she added, "Also, if this Magic Mirror houses a remnant soul instead of having its own Artifact Spirit, then you have to be wary of the mirror itself. You don’t want to be tricked or bewitched by the soul inside and end up becoming its pawn."

’That’s terrifying!’

’This Magic Mirror can actually turn on its owner?’

A chill went down Gu Qing’s spine.

After calming himself, he turned to Liu Zhiyi, the Extraordinary Awakened, and pleaded, "Sister Zhiyi, could I trouble you to infuse this Magic Mirror with Extraordinary Power and make it release my junior who’s trapped in the Mirror World?"

"Of course."

Liu Zhiyi’s red lips parted slightly, her voice carrying a hint of sophisticated grace. "Resolving Extraordinary incidents and rescuing ordinary people is one of my duties as a Night Court Member. It’s no trouble at all."

Gu Qing immediately seized the chance to flatter her. "Sister Zhiyi, you’re truly a role model for our generation. I’ll strive to become a righteous person just like you, using my own Extraordinary Power to save ordinary people from Extraordinary perils."

Liu Zhiyi said no more.

She extended a slender, fair index finger and gently touched the surface of the Magic Mirror.

With a mere thought, she released a stream of incredibly pure Extraordinary Power from her body, gently infusing it into the Magic Mirror.

The moment the Extraordinary Power was infused, the surface of the Magic Mirror began to emit a faint sheen.

As more Extraordinary Power flowed in, the sheen grew brighter and brighter.

In just a moment.

The light radiating from the Magic Mirror was nearly as bright as a lightbulb.

It was bright enough to make one’s eyes sting with discomfort.

Just then, the long-silent Magic Mirror suddenly convulsed violently, and words appeared on its surface:

"[Don’t! Stop! I can’t take it anymore! I’m going to burst!]"

Seeing these words, Liu Zhiyi immediately stopped infusing the Magic Mirror with Extraordinary Power.

Gu Qing looked at the Magic Mirror. "Hey, I found someone to fill you up with Extraordinary Power. Isn’t it time you released Xia Shuran?"

The Magic Mirror convulsed violently in response: "[Don’t be so hasty. This little girl is quite interesting. Let me have some fun with her first. When I get bored, I’ll give her back.]"

Gu Qing was not happy. "Going back on your word, are you?"

The Magic Mirror convulsed violently: "[I told you not to rush me. I’ll just have fun for half an hour at most, then you can have her back.]"

Just as Gu Qing was about to argue back, Liu Zhiyi, who was standing beside him, spoke up. "This Extraordinary item is very unusual. Let’s see what it plans to do next. Don’t rush it."

Since his future patron had spoken, Gu Qing didn’t press the matter. He just turned to the Magic Mirror and said:

"Fine. I’ll let you have your fun for a bit."

"On one condition: you have to show the entire process of you ’playing’ with Xia Shuran on the mirror’s surface, so we can supervise your every move."
