Volume 3 Chapter 18: Soul Mirror (Part 1)

  Sheng Gao, in the classroom.

  As soon as the bell rang, Xinyue leaned on the desk, she had been sleeping poorly for several days and her eyes were dark.

  It's not because of that silly girl Yuduo, I clearly told her that Anwei is not a good thing, it would be better to cut off the relationship early on, but this guy used some despicable and shameless means to deceive Yuduo, making her blush with joy and dream of spring and autumn, refusing to listen to anyone's words.

  Xin Yue made up her mind to expose the evil intentions of this bad guy, even if it would shatter all her remaining romantic dreams. After all, a short pain is better than a long one. Seeing Yu Duo working hard every day and giving his earnings to that little white wolf was really heartbreaking for Xin Yue.

  No! His evidence of guilt must be exposed!

  After several days of tailing, Xiangyue had some initial gains. Anwei is 20 years old this year and studies at a third-rate university. He has relationships with at least three girls, including Yu Duo, who can be counted as one, and the chubby glasses girl, who in reality have become Anwei's wallet. The bad guy actually likes the girl named Sha, whom he met at the entrance of the gymnasium. She is a childhood friend of Anwei's and is currently attending a remedial class in her third year at Sheng Gao High School. It is said that she failed the exam last year and is a famous beauty.

  That is to say, An Wei squeezed blood and sweat from the two poor girls, and then supplied herself and Xiang Xiao Yao to live a happy life. What a shameless guy! Xing Yue couldn't understand why An Wei had to find Yu Duo to take action, but it didn't matter anymore. Since he had already bullied his own friends, he must tear off that ugly face of his!

  Xīn Yuè clenched her small fist, glaring fiercely at the dark specter in front of her, gritting her teeth and saying: "You damned pig head! I'll see how long you can keep being so arrogant!"

  "Yo yo yo! Our heavenly beauty is angry with whom?" Suddenly, Mei appeared out of nowhere.

  "Oh, haha... nothing, I was just thinking about yesterday's TV plot." Xinyue covered her mouth and smiled.

  "Come, I've brought something fun today!" Yōko blinked her eyes, mysteriously pulling out a round disk wrapped in red cloth. "This is a magic mirror! Want to give it a try?"

  As soon as they heard the words "magic mirror", several girls next to them couldn't help but gather around.

  What is it like?

  Yongji slowly unfolded the red cloth, and inside was indeed a magnificently decorated mirror with a golden carved wooden frame and a crystal-clear surface that was obviously not an ordinary item.

  "Isn't this the prop from when we were going to perform Snow White?" Xīn Yuè asked doubtfully.

  "It's not just that! This is a magical mirror passed down through my family, it can reflect the true soul form of every person!"

  "Wow! Soul form?!" The girls suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

  "Shh, keep your voice down!" Yōki hugged the magic mirror back into her arms, "If you make another peep, I won't let you see it."

  Girls look at me, I look at you, big eyes staring at small eyes, all of them quietly closed their mouths, and one after another formed a small circle, blocking the boys who tried to squeeze in from outside.

  "Yongji, what is a soul form?" a girl whispered, covering her mouth.

  Yongji cleared her throat and said seriously: "You all should know the concept of soul, cough...".

  The little girls nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

  "To put it simply, when a person dies, their soul leaves and attaches itself to an unborn baby, becoming another person. This is a general and simple theory, if I explain it too complicatedly you won't understand."

  "Cough, absurdity, superstition! Not scientific at all." A girl said disdainfully, but immediately attracted almost all the other girls' murderous gaze, and was so frightened that she quickly shut her mouth.

  "Believe it or not! If you don't want to listen, then please leave!" Yōko's temper was not small, and she was somewhat unhappy.

  "Sister Ji, don't be annoyed, look at everyone listening carefully! Hurry up and continue!" Xiangyue pulled up Yongji's hand, gently shaking it, with a smile all over her face. Actually, the little girl was also very curious, eagerly waiting for Yongji to continue speaking.

  "Actually, science is not yet advanced enough to explain things that can't be explained, and they are simply labeled as pseudo-science. Isn't this the same as calling a deer a horse?!" Yōki still had some lingering anger and said two more sentences before continuing: "According to my family's ancestors' theory, after reincarnation, a person's soul has its own form."

  "Really? According to your theory, a person's soul shape may not change from their past life to this life?" No wonder you're Zhì Méng, thinking so seriously.

  "Uh, you're right, the shape of the soul is actually a reflection of the spiritual realm of the flesh. Simply put, what you look like, the shape of your soul is also that way, but there are some differences. When you were born, the shape of your soul was also an infant, and as you grew up, the shape of your soul also grew simultaneously. The difference is that the shape of your soul is the most authentic reflection of your inner heart. For example, if you're a hypocrite, no matter how many smiling faces you put on, the shape of your soul is still ugly and sinister. On the other hand, if you have a pure character and are innocent, the shape of your soul may be hundreds or thousands of times more beautiful than you are!"

  "Yongji, is it possible," Xiangyue asked, covering her rapidly beating heart, "like in the story of 'The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea', if Tieguai Li possessed someone else's body, would his soul still be in its current form or would it revert to its original appearance?"

  Yong Ji's heart skipped a beat as she knew Xiang Yue would ask this question. Was her own prediction really true?

  "You asked a good question, if it's that case, the soul form should be its original appearance. Hehe, how about it, is it fun? Want to come and try? Xinyue, you go first, how about it?"
