Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

Chapter 210 The Real and Fake Su Yun

Just as the two were talking, a huge, ferocious wolf suddenly darted out from the side. Its scarlet eyes were fixed on Mu Chen, its seemingly plump and delicious prey, drool dripping from its mouth. Then, the wolf leaped forward, its gaping maw snapping as it pounced on Mu Chen.

In a flash, Su Yun reacted with lightning speed. She swiftly waved her hand, and a gleaming binding thread shot out, precisely ensnaring the ferocious wolf. Bound by the thread, the wolf struggled desperately, its sharp claws flailing wildly in the air, trying to break free. At the same time, its eyes, filled with rage and murderous intent, glared fiercely at Su Yun, as if it wanted nothing more than to tear her to pieces.

Just then, Little Black, who had been quietly waiting to the side, also began to move. With a swift movement, it pulled out a magical artifact resembling a jar from its robes. This artifact was dark brown, its surface covered with dense, obscure runes, emitting faint but captivating light, making it appear exceptionally mysterious and eerie.

Before the raging wolf could react, it was sucked into the magical artifact in Xiao Hei's hand with lightning speed. Seeing this, Xiao Hei quickly and swiftly tightened the lid. A crisp "clinking" sound rang out, a unique sound effect produced by the lid colliding with the jar, which drew everyone's attention.

Mu Chen seemed unsurprised by what was happening before him, continuing his determined stride forward with an expressionless face. Soon, he came to a babbling brook. The water was crystal clear, revealing colorful pebbles and playfully swimming fish and shrimp. However, just as Mu Chen was about to cross the brook, Su Yun, following behind him, suddenly widened her eyes, pointing ahead in astonishment and exclaiming, "What...what's going on?" It turned out that Su Yun had seen another version of herself standing by the brook! That "self" was standing there quietly, her eyes empty and lifeless, like a lifeless sculpture.

"Could it be that I've somehow created a clone?" Su Yun muttered to herself, her heart filled with doubt and fear. Hearing Su Yun's exclamation, Xiao Hei meowed and explained, "Don't worry, this is most likely just something Mu Chen has imagined." Despite Xiao Hei's reassuring words, Su Yun's heart remained uneasy and she couldn't calm down.

Then, the group slowly entered a dilapidated thatched hut. A damp, decaying smell permeated the air, and the walls were covered with mottled moss and cobwebs. Mu Chen skillfully lit a pile of firewood and began to cook. Su Yun curiously looked around the hut, and suddenly, she realized a strange phenomenon—since entering, both Mu Chen and Xiao Hei had remained silent, without exchanging a single word.

"Why isn't anyone talking? It feels so awkward being silent like this," Su Yun finally couldn't help but ask. However, Mu Chen and the fake Su Yun still didn't respond to her question. The only sounds in the room were the crackling of the firewood and the howling wind outside, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

"Xiao Hei, tell me quickly, is it really as I think, that as long as this fake Su Yun leaves, Mu Chen will wake up?" Su Yun looked anxious, and even had a layer of fine sweat on her forehead.

Xiao Hei shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "Things are not that simple! Even if this fake Su Yun leaves, after Mu Chen's seven souls and six spirits are all back in place, he still needs a Guiyuan Pill. And I'm afraid we can only ask Xiaolongnu to help us get one."

Hearing this, Su Yun's heart sank, his brows furrowed, and he pressed, "So what should we do now? How can we break out of this predicament?"

Xiao Hei pondered for a moment, then looked up at Su Yun and slowly said, "First, you need to figure out whether this fake Su Yun is purely a figment of your imagination or a transformation by some fairy using magic. Only after figuring this out can we have a countermeasure."

Su Yun nodded after hearing this, and quickly took out an exquisite demon-revealing mirror from her bosom. Holding the mirror, she carefully shook it from side to side, trying to see the true face of the fake Su Yun. However, no matter how she manipulated it, the demon-revealing mirror never showed anything unusual. It seemed that this fake Su Yun was just an illusion in her mind.

With that in mind, Su Yun took a deep breath and mustered immense courage to walk towards the thatched hut. When she reached Mu Chen's side, she softly greeted him. However, to Su Yun's surprise, Mu Chen didn't react to her appearance at all, as if he couldn't see her at all.

When a look of confusion appeared on Su Yun's delicate face, Xiao Hei, standing to the side, hurriedly explained, "Master, don't worry! Although he can't see you, he can see me perfectly well!" As soon as it finished speaking, Xiao Hei, like a black lightning bolt, nimbly leaped and landed steadily on the stove. Its small, delicate paws gently touched the pot lid, emitting a series of clear, melodious "meows."

Upon hearing the noise, Mu Chen, who had been busy, instinctively waved his arm, trying to shoo away the mischievous Xiao Hei. At that moment, Xiao Hei calmly took out a mysterious object that looked like glasses from his small backpack and waved it at Mu Chen, indicating that he should try it on.

Mu Chen took the strange contraption with some skepticism and carefully placed it on his nose. However, the instant he put it on, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—two identical Su Yuns appeared before him! The sudden turn of events left Mu Chen feeling flustered and completely at a loss.

Seeing this, Su Yun, who was standing to the side, hurriedly shouted, "Mu Chen, I am the real Su Yun! I am your wife! The other one is just something you imagined. Come home with me!"

Mu Chen, however, thought he must be seeing things, so without thinking, he reached out and ripped off the glasses he had just put on, then threw them into the blazing stove without hesitation. With a "whoosh," the glasses were instantly engulfed in flames.
