Even Xiaofan said this copper mirror is real, so now you’ve got nothing to say, right?
Xiaofan is just like our daughter, both know how to use spells.
There’s no way they’d get it wrong.”
Xiao Dahai said this while preparing to put the copper mirror away.
“Dad, just give this copper mirror to .
You don’t really have any use for it anyway, and it might co in handy for while I’m cultivating!”
However, just as Xiao Dahai’s hand was about to grab the copper mirror, Xiao i quickly reached out and grabbed it first.
Without a word, she imdiately stored it in her storage space.
“Huh?
Where’s the mirror?”
Xiao Dahai watched as the copper mirror suddenly vanished from Xiao i’s hand and asked in surprise.
“I put it away, Dad.
Don’t tell you can’t bear to part with it?”
Xiao i giggled, looking at Xiao Dahai across from her.
“What are you talking about, you little rascal?
Even if I really didn’t want to give it up, my daughter asked for it.
How could I possibly say no?
Your mom and I are going out to buy groceries.
You two stay here for now!”
Even though Xiao Dahai did feel a slight pang of reluctance, since Xiao i took it, he said nothing more.
In truth, the only reason he had kept the mirror for so long was the hope of one day showing it off in front of his wife to prove a point.
After Xiao Dahai and Li Yufen left, Xiao i hurriedly dragged Bai Xiaofan into her room.
This room was only used when she ca back.
Even if there were guests, they wouldn’t stay in this room.
Her mom, though, made it a point to clean it every day, keeping it spotless.
“Xiao i-i, are you really in that much of a hurry?
You know how powerful I am.
If your parents co back while we’re at it, it’ll be super awkward!”
Bai Xiaofan teased as he tossed his jacket to the side.
“Ugh!
What nonsense are you spewing now?
That’s not what I ant!”
Xiao i froze for a mont at Bai Xiaofan’s words.
Then, seeing him actually take off his jacket, she suddenly understood and bashfully gave him a playful punch with her small fist.
“Oh, co on.
If it’s not that, then what?
Don’t build up my hopes for nothing!”
Bai Xiaofan sighed dramatically and sat down on the bed, pulling Xiao i into an embrace with one big arm.
“Quit ssing around and tell honestly—did you discover sothing inside this copper mirror?”
Xiao i pouted playfully and rolled her eyes at him.
She took out the copper mirror and held it up, staring at Bai Xiaofan.
“Why don’t you take a look with your Divine Sense and find out?”
Rather than answering her directly, Bai Xiaofan gave a mysterious smile.
Xiao i, puzzled, glanced at Bai Xiaofan before sending her Divine Sense into the copper mirror to check it for herself.
“There’s a Defensive Array inside?
Could this copper mirror be a defensive magic artifact?”
Monts later, Xiao i stared at Bai Xiaofan in astonishnt, her voice full of disbelief.
“Exactly!
And not just any ordinary Defensive Array—the level of this one is rather high.
I’d say even a Nascent Soul pinnacle expert attacking with full force might not be able to break it.
So the fact that you managed to claim this copper mirror was an incredibly smart move.
Having it on you is like being able to shrug off a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul pinnacle expert.
And based on my estimate, you could probably do so at least three tis!”
Bai Xiaofan nodded, indulging Xiao i with a pampering gaze.
“If that’s really the case, then you should hold onto this mirror.
Your enemies are much stronger than mine!”
But upon hearing this, Xiao i imdiately shoved the copper mirror into Bai Xiaofan’s arms.
“If I say you take it, then you take it.
I’ve got plenty of life-saving tricks up my sleeve!
If you don’t listen, I might just have to resort to family punishnt!”
Bai Xiaofan smirked mischievously, waving a big hand in front of Xiao i.
“Bai Xiaofan, you’ve gotten bold, haven’t you?
Threatening now?
Do you think I’m as easy to bully as Xin’er and Wan’er?”
Xiao i had obviously heard from Chen Xiner and the others, so she naturally knew what Bai Xiaofan’s so-called “family punishnt” was.
Her beautiful eyes carried a hint of shy anger.
After stashing the copper mirror away, she raised her hands to playfully swat at Bai Xiaofan.
Of course, Bai Xiaofan didn’t just sit there and take it.
He imdiately grabbed Xiao i’s hands and tipped himself backward, tumbling onto the bed…
When Xiao Dahai and Li Yufen returned ho with groceries, they found neither Bai Xiaofan nor Xiao i in the living room.
The door to Xiao i’s room, however, was wide open.
Li Yufen curiously walked over but was startled into a quick retreat the mont she glanced inside.
“Oh my, these kids nowadays really don’t even bother to close the door!”
“Bai Xiaofan, it’s all your fault!
My mom is definitely going to misunderstand!”
Xiao i scolded, glaring at him with her blushing cheeks that resembled a ripe peach.
“Yes, yes, it’s my fault.
If I’d known your parents would co back so quickly, I’d have shut the door!”
Even as Bai Xiaofan apologized, his words only made Xiao i even more flustered.
Especially since his hands were sneakily taking liberties with her in the process!
“Let go of , you scoundrel!
I’m never going to talk to you again!”
Xiao i, her face burning with embarrassnt, playfully hit Bai Xiaofan before standing up with his help.
She shoved him out of the room and then, after tidying up her clothes, erged with her face still red as a cherry.
Fortunately, Li Yufen pretended she hadn’t seen anything and busied herself with getting Xiao Dahai to help prep dinner, turning on the TV for Bai Xiaofan and Xiao i to watch.
Sitting on the couch, Xiao i shot daggers at Bai Xiaofan with her glare.
Taking the hint, he wisely grabbed an apple and slipped into the kitchen while gnawing away.
Left alone with the television, Xiao i couldn’t help but replay the earlier scene from her room in her mind.
Ugh, how could she have been so careless?
How did she end up letting this scoundrel take advantage of her?
Next ti, she’d have to be more vigilant!
Over dinner, the four of them opened two bottles of Maotai.
Xiao i, wanting to maintain a ladylike image in front of her parents, only sipped a little.
After all, if Xiao Dahai and Li Yufen discovered that their daughter could hold her liquor so well, their jaws would drop.
“Sigh, since you brought Xiaofan back, we really should have asked you to stay longer.
But there’s so trouble brewing at ho right now, so after tonight, you two should head out tomorrow,”
Li Yufen, perhaps feeling sentintal after drinking, suddenly sighed and shook her head, despite having been all smiles earlier.
“What are you talking about, you old woman?
My daughter and my son-in-law are here—they’ll stay as long as they want!
And if you can’t hold your liquor, stop drinking!”
Xiao Dahai, ever the proud and strong-willed man, slamd the table with a large hand and raised his voice in reprimand.
