935 Those who are close to death ——2



------------------

  Song Yan indeed smiled which caused Fu Qingyuan to panic as she hurriedly said, " I am telling you that you cannot get away from murder, Song Yan. If you think that my father and mother will simply allow you to leave after murdering me then you are simply too naive! Don't forget that my grandfather's dying wish was for the Old Master Fu to take care of our family." 

"That's true but that does not mean that we will simply let white-eyed wolves keep causing trouble," as Song Yan spoke she turned to look at Huo Huan. The second her gaze fell on Huo Huan the latter stiffened and turned her head to look at Fu Qingyuan before saying, " I … I might not be from a reputable family but I am still a citizen of this country. If you kill me then.. then.. my family will also not let you go." 

" Indeed," Fu Qingyuan nodded and when she saw that Song Yan was not making a move on her, she thought that she had scared off Song Yan and immediately felt emboldened as she threatened, " You might not know this but my father knows a few warlocks as well. He has his connections, if you try to harm me then my father will definitely find out and then you will face non-stop trouble. So, stop acting like a fool and let me go…." 

Her words came to a screeching halt when she saw Song Yan raise her hand. The second she moved her hand, Huo Huan who was sitting on the ground stood up and despite screaming and flailing, she walked inside the mirror on her own with a mournful scream. 

Fu Qingyuan stared at Song Yan in horror not knowing what to say as she incredulously looked at the surface of the mirrors.

" Thank you for telling me that your father knows a few warlocks,  I will be having a nice talk with him later on," Song Yan suddenly turned to look at Fu Qingyuan with a bright smile on her but the ruthlessness in her eyes unhidden which made Fu Qingyuan shiver and squeak, " Yo…You can't kill me." 

" Of course, I am not going to kill you," said Song Yan with a cooing voice as she looked at Fu Qingyuan. " Have you ever seen anyone kill someone who only had a few days to live?" 

Her words caused Fu Qingyuan to frown but then Song Yan moved the ancient mirror around with a flick of her hand. No sooner the mirror turned around, Fu Qingyuan stared at the reflection in the mirror with horror etched on her face. 

Because in the mirror, instead of a young woman —— an old woman was looking back at her! 

" What did you do to me!?" She screeched as she turned to look at Song Yan who merely smiled and then said, " Didn't I tell you that you should not dabble your hands in things which you have no idea about? Fu Qingyuan, I did not do anything but instead, it's you who made a mistake. This mirror indeed is a portal to another world but don't you know? Every time you open the door after becoming its medium, you will lose a bit of your life force." 

A sadistic glint lit up in Song Yan's eyes as she smilingly added,  " I guess the woman who sold this mirror to you did not tell you this small detail. Though I and that woman can open this mirror without any hitch that is because we both have been cultivating for years and we can use our spiritual energy to open this portal but you…you are not a celestial master or warlock, Fu Qingyuan. Every time you opened this portal, you lost a bit of your life force… which is why you look like this." 

Fu Qingyuan's face drained of all colour and she watched in horror as her face grew older and older until she was resembling a seventy-year-old woman. What was she supposed to do now? Who will marry her? Her future, her life everything was gone!

When Fu Qingyuan was in her frightened stupor, Song Yan walked forward and raised her fingers before she delicately snapped the necklace which only consisted of a golden string and seven pearls from Fu Qingyuan's neck and then summoned Fang Yanli. 

"It's right to left, hand the right-hand pearl to Fu Yu Shen and then the rest in the order they fell inside the mirror," she explained to Fang Yanli who nodded and then took the string with pearls in her hand before entering the mirror. Since the yin energy in the corridor was dense because of the mirror of Fang Mian, Fu Qingyuan was able to see the female ghost who entered the mirror with ease and then turned to look at Song Yan with eyes filled with terror. 

All hope extinguished in her heart as her eyes rolled back in their sockets and then she fainted. 

On the other side, Fang Yanli went looking for the members of the Fu family. It was a good thing that the string of the necklace guided her to the place where they all were hiding without a hitch or else it would have been too late. 

Fu Yu Shen and the rest were huddled in the corner with Huo Huan shivering and trying to shake the ghost off who was chewing on her leg. She screamed in pain while trying to get to the Fu family asking them for help but neither of them moved. 

Fu Rong and Li Wenyi had long told Fu Yu Shen and Old Master Fu that this woman was the one who pushed them into this place and thus they had no sympathy for this girl. Even Fu Yu Shen who usually felt a bit sympathetic towards the fairer gender did not help Huo Huan as he recognised her as the woman who pushed him inside the mirror. 

When Huo Huan saw that neither of them was helping her—— her eyes fell with despair and anger.  She screamed in frustration before rushing ahead to charge at the Fu family wanting to drag them down with her but because of a sudden force, she was sent flying back and hit her head.
