"Countless."
Duan Mingguang shook her head. "Over the decades, there have been too many to count."
"Then I can't spare you. Pay with your life."
Verdant Green Maiden's gaze turned cold. She raised a hand and clenched it, not waiting for Duan Mingguang to say another word before crushing that wisp of her soul.
Even in death, she could still pay with her life!
After Duan Mingguang's soul scattered, something fell onto the riverbed.
Verdant Green Maiden looked closely and saw that it was a mirror.
"A mirror?"
She understood.
Just now, Duan Mingguang had told her that after she had originally thrown herself into the river, she had remained muddleheaded and unconscious beneath its waters. It was only when a mirror fell into the river at the end of the Sui dynasty that she gained a spirit, allowing her to whip up wind and waves in these waters.
So this was that mirror?
"It does look somewhat familiar."
Verdant Green Maiden muttered to herself.
She picked up the mirror and examined it carefully before remembering!
"Ah!"
"I have one of these mirrors too!"
As she spoke, she took out the Dragon Pearl, rummaged through it for quite a while, and pulled out a mirror extremely similar to this one.
The Jade Mirror inside the Dragon Pearl was the Treasure Mirror she had snatched from a junior of the Tai Ping Daoist temple back then...
No.
Borrowed from them!
It was just that the person had died afterward, leaving no one for her to return it to, so she could only keep it herself. If they truly wanted it back, they could come ask her for it later.
If they did not come, then that meant they had gifted it to her, and she would humbly accept it.
