Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

A five-year-old boy dressed in fine clothes appeared in front of Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen frowned as she glanced at the guy. This look is really unique!

Wearing a purple-gold crown, deerskin boots, and a bright gold brocade robe, he looked very wealthy!

That puffed-up expression on her face is so incongruous!

"Tsk tsk, so you, a little bean sprout, are making fun of me?"

"Uh, um, I didn't!"

"An illusion? So this place is an illusion too?"

As soon as Ye Zhenzhen said this, she closed her eyes and focused her mind.

"break!"

The pitch-black space in front of me shattered into pieces, revealing the original state of the room!

Ye Zhenzhen looked down at herself and saw that she was sitting cross-legged on the futon!

Sure enough, I was right!

Standing up, Ye Zhenzhen looked around. This was a small courtyard with an unidentified large tree in the middle!

It's called a big tree, and it really is big; it's as thick as two people can hug it. It's almost as big as the Towering Tree in the Life Bead!

Behind the big tree was a magnificent palace!

Looking at the ornately decorated building, Ye Zhenzhen wondered if this thing was also something that guy had conjured up!

The chubby boy was still immersed in the fact that the impolite girl opposite him had broken his illusion so quickly when he suddenly sensed Ye Zhenzhen's thoughts.

She angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about! I went through so much trouble to get this, really, really!"

To Ye Zhenzhen, those last two sentences really made her feel like she was gritting her teeth!

This chubby kid has quite a temper! I wonder if he'll be easy to fool?

"Don't try to fool me, I know everything you're thinking."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen turned her head and glared at him, "I know!"

Let's just negotiate!

Ye Zhenzhen sat on her futon, looking at the chubby little boy, "Tell me, why did you bring me here?"

"Hehe, why aren't you thinking about it anymore? You know you can't hide your thoughts from me, right? Haha~"

Seeing the chubby kid across from her smug look, Ye Zhenzhen wanted to take action, but she held back.

"You actually tried to hit me! You bad person!"

Ye Zhen was speechless. She didn't say anything, didn't think about anything, and just stared straight at the chubby little boy opposite her!

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything or thinking?"

I can't be bothered with you!

"Don't be like that! I'm counting on you to take me out!"

Finally, we're getting down to business. Looks like this kid's been locked up here?

"It's not about locking me up, it's about protecting me. When my former master died, he threw me down to the lower realm, to this wretched place. I never expected that person to find me. But if the formation inside can't be broken, they won't be able to see me, and the mirror won't be able to recognize its master."

"In order to find a way out, I gave that person some conveniences, and that person started desperately trying to break the formation, but that person's talent was really poor, and he couldn't break it even after three years."

"He guessed there was treasure inside, which is why he wanted others to try it!"

That person must be the one controlling the mirror!

"Yes!"

That person probably wanted others to try and see if they could unlock the mirror's secret, so he could seize the opportunity to steal it!

"Yes, very likely."

Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. "Can't you just ignore my feelings?"

"No, what if you're lying to me?"

Ye Zhenzhen took a deep breath, closed her eyes, suppressed the anger in her heart, and thought, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, why bother arguing with an idiot!"

"You're the idiot!"

Ye Zhenzhen didn't want to argue with him, so she asked directly, "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

These words were spoken in a very aggressive tone!

The chubby boy trembled. Had he angered someone?

She mumbled softly, "I just want to go out and have a look."

Ye Zhenzhen gestured for them to go, "Go ahead, didn't I break the formation? You should be able to leave now!"

"But my former master said that it was very dangerous outside, and that anyone who could break through the formation he set up must be very smart, so he told me to follow him."

After saying that, the chubby boy looked aggrieved!

Ye Zhenzhen understood; the chubby little boy wanted to follow her!

"Yes, yes, I just want to follow you!"

"But I don't want you!"

"Why? I'm so handsome, charming, and capable. Anyone who comes in will become so engrossed in the illusion I create that they can't get out."

After saying that, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Ye Zhenzhen expectantly!

Knowing she was safe, Ye Zhenzhen calmly sat down, took out the tea set she had prepared in her bracelet, brewed herself a cup of tea, and then slowly said, "I'll consider whether to take you out when you've gotten rid of this habit of spying on my thoughts at any time!"

The chubby boy's face turned red with anger upon hearing this, but he ultimately gave in.

"I was wrong. I won't try to pry into your thoughts anymore, okay?"

"Yes, that's right, no way!"

"What else do you want? Let me tell you, don't push your luck!"

Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him, giving off an air of "If you want to talk, then talk; if you don't want to talk, then forget it!"

The chubby kid was so angry that his face turned red. Oh well, he decided not to argue with a child!

He softened his tone, "Then tell me!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen knew it was time. "Three rules: First, from now on, you must not pry into my thoughts without my permission."

"Second, acknowledge me as your master. This is a master-servant contract. From now on, I am your only master. Don't mention your former master again."

"Third, you must always follow my orders."

The chubby child could accept the first three points, but the second one was different. He said his previous owner had been so good to him, unlike her, who was so fierce.

After a moment's thought, he negotiated, "The first and third conditions are fine, but the second one... my former master treated me very well, could you...?"

Ye Zhenzhen understood his unspoken meaning, "I just don't want you to say it, you can keep it to yourself!"

After hearing this, the chubby boy nodded happily in agreement.

Soon, Ye Zhenzhen drew an array pattern for a master-servant contract, and the two successfully signed the contract.

Ye Zhenzhen then realized that the little guy's true form was this mirror, and he was the spirit of the mirror.

From now on, I'll call you Xiao Huan.

"Okay." That's exactly what my previous owner called me, hehe.

Seeing his silly grin, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly realized that she was probably in for a lot of trouble in the future.

"How do I get out?"

"You can control the mirror with your mind, and then you can go straight out."

"What about the rest?"

“I threw them out right after they recognized me as their master.”

Ye Zhenzhen looked helpless. "Why didn't you tell me before making this decision on your own?"

"what happened?"

"They've all gone out, and I'm the only one who hasn't. People will definitely guess that something happened to me. How am I supposed to explain if I go out?"
