Chapter 480
Chapter 480: Chapter 6: A New Fragment of the Kunlun Mirror Chapter 480: Chapter 6: A New Fragment of the Kunlun Mirror Upon this realization, if Long Long still couldn’t recognize that the script was designed with Long Hu’s father as the reference, then he would be too dull-witted.
He angrily slammed a hand against the armrest of the throne, then stood up and left without looking back.
There was no restart.
It turned out that it wasn’t about completely following the script but rather about not causing a severe reversal to the overall direction of the script.
How does this sound so much like Ah Jing’s time-space paradox?
Loading a save to go back to the past also doesn’t allow for major historical changes…
As the emperor departed, the ministers exchanged glances, each quietly sighing in relief.
Qin Zhou and Qin Ye followed the Scaled Clan out, casually signaling Gui Ling’er with a glance to hurry out as well.
Long Hu snorted and stood up, quickly following in Long Long’s footsteps.
Back in the rear hall, Long Long stood alone in the bedroom only to see Long Hu push the door open and come in.
“Ahem.” Unsure if the mechanism was still in effect, Long Long could only imitate Ying Long’s style and said tenderly, “The Empress is back?”
Long Hu was slightly embarrassed since she also didn’t know if she should keep playing the role of her mother, so she just nodded reservedly.
“Then let’s go to bed,” Long Long suggested, “rest early.”
Just like when loading a save to replay history, the more dialogue at this moment, the easier it was to make a mistake.

On the other hand, if nothing is said, there’s a very small chance of a mistake.
Long Hu didn’t have any opinions at the moment and blushed as she nodded.
Members of the Demon Race, unlike Human Race cultivators preferring meditative concentration to replace sleep, thus the two changed into nightclothes and climbed into bed.
Long Long held Long Hu’s petite body and buried his nose in her hair, suddenly feeling something fluffy entangling his leg.
Oh, it was a fox tail.
“Sleep now.” Long Long felt the warm softness in his arms, his tightly stretched rationality also started to relax slightly as he comforted her.
“Mm.” Long Hu nodded lightly.
The screen went black.
?0?G0.??
They had just laid down in bed when their movements suddenly became stiff.
Restart?
That is to say, according to the script, they shouldn’t go to sleep here, but should speak lines instead.
And, these lines were very important, so as soon as they were skipped, it was immediately deemed out of character.
Although there was nowhere to learn the script, Long Long, based on some memories and associations, approximately locked onto the possible direction.
Why did Ying Long want to counterattack the Mortal Realm?
He guessed it was probably for Long Hu’s mother.
Long Hu’s mother was the daughter of Yin Xiaojing, who could have obtained the Tai Yin Suming Sword but gave up, resulting in Long Hu’s mother being the daughter of a so-called criminal.
Ying Long managed to marry Long Hu’s mother against all opposition, but couldn’t restore her social status, which is why he wanted to rebuild prestige by counterattacking the Mortal Realm.
The result was unfortunate, Ying Long was defeated and trapped in the Demon Locking Tower, Long Hu’s mother sensed an imminent crisis, and considering Long Hu’s worrying health at the time, she directly defected and left Qingqiu.
Maybe many years later, the trapped Ying Long finally learned through Hu Li that Long Hu’s mother had defected and disappeared early on, naturally guessing that she had probably encountered misfortune, thus losing all his spirit.
He even willingly confined himself within the Demon Locking Tower, avoiding reality, afraid to learn the news of his wife and daughter’s demise…
What a waste!
Using the clues he had, Long Long roughly filled in the blanks of Ying Long’s life and also roughly guessed the overall plot of the script.
“Fox,” Long Long tenderly said as he held Long Hu, “I will give you a status.”
Long Hu: ?
She didn’t react at first but noticing that no reset was triggered immediately guessed this must be the script.
So, when her mother and father were together, they were actually enduring great criticism and hostility from the outside world.
Her father, in order to fight for status and position for her mother, had left her and her mother behind and went to attack the Mortal Realm…
Thinking of this, the little fox couldn’t help but weep, her tears dropping onto Long Long’s hands with a patter.
Long Long: ???
“Why are you crying?” He quickly hugged Long Hu close to him.
“I…” Long Hu turned around, burying her face in his chest, “I was thinking of my mother and father from those years…”
Everything went black.
Once again back at the start of the bedroom scene, Long Long was instantly filled with rage.
What’s this?
Suddenly popping out a line about “father and mother”, have you forgotten you’re still in the Illusion Domain?
However, seeing the little fox’s tears-filled, on-the-verge-of-crying expression, he instantly abandoned the thought of scolding her.
Although she is physically an adult, emotionally she is still a child after all.
This time there was no reset, which means according to the script’s design, it was allowable for this empress character to cry.
However, the reason for crying was not because of a “daughter’s heartache for her father and mother” but rather because of a “wife’s gratitude towards her husband.”
So, all he had to do was to lead her to say similar lines.
Thinking things over once more, Long Long then hugged Long Hu and gently said:
“Don’t cry, Hu.
I’ve told you, I will give you an explanation.”
“I don’t need it,” Long Hu sobbed, shaking her head, “I just hope you stay safe and sound, I don’t want you to go to the Mortal Realm and take risks.”
These were the true feelings of her heart: At this moment, the little fox wished so much that her father had never taken the initiative to counterattack the Human Race, thereby being forced to separate from her and her mother!
Seeing that there was no reset, Long Long inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to persuade her:
“Hu, this is not just for the future of us both but also for our children.
You’ve suffered so much in the past because of your mother’s reputation; do you want our child to grow up in the same environment?”
Once she heard “you’ve suffered so much in the past,” Long Hu instantly cried so hard that she couldn’t speak, her tears soaking the pillow.
Seeing her in such sorrow, Long Long could only sigh inwardly.
They say Fox Ladies are deeply sentimental, and now I truly understand that sentiment.
Her grandmother, a spy who neglected her duty, for the sake of her husband left the Tai Yin Summoning Sword in the Mortal World and returned alone to face the animosity of the entire Demon Race.
Her mother, for her child’s sake, betrayed the entire Fox Clan, fled to the South State, and died from her severe injuries.
Her Soul Spirit even endured forcefully for over a hundred thousand years, waiting until this reliable young gentleman, Long Long, arrived here.
The power of love, terrifying indeed!
If the little fox inherits her mother and grandmother’s deeply emotional nature, what will she do when I get the Heaven-Mending Stone and lay it all out for her?
Definitely no good, right?
If I reveal everything to her, she will certainly not care about consequences and insist on keeping me in the Eastern Emperor Realm.
Then what about the junior sisters, young ladies, and everyone else in the Mortal Realm?
Ahem, I mean, what about those pieces of the Heaven-Mending Stone?
Do I still want to save the world?
Thinking this, Long Long hugged Long Hu close but in his heart became even more determined about the idea of “grab the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone and run.”
Then, the scene went black once more.
Underneath them was no longer the soft bed but a bed of soft grass.
Gui Ling’er, Qin Zhou, and Qin Ye, the three of them got up from the ground nearby-they too had already lain down to rest in their script’s timeline and were then suddenly transported here.
Long Long let go of Long Hu and propped himself up, scanning the surroundings once again.
Has the Illusion Domain ended?
“I’ve found it,” said the Kunlun Mirror in his mind, “There is indeed one of my fragments here.
However, it seems to be located in the inner circle of the ruins.
Moreover, using the mechanism of the ruins itself, it continually radiates power outwards causing you to fall into these illusions-which are all snippets cut out from the world line.”
“I’ve just helped you to temporarily block its power, so the Illusion Domain has automatically ended.”
“I see,” Long Long nodded in appreciation, “As expected of you, my mirror.”
“But you need to be of the Cultivator’s Rank to enter the inner circle of the ruins, so we need to plan for a long-term strategy to retrieve your fragment.”
“No need,” the Kunlun Mirror quickly said, “I have a way to circumvent the selection rules of the ruins, just listen to me…”
“Really?
That’s great, you don’t need to say anymore,” Long Long immediately cut it off.
Me, enter the inner circle of the ruins and fight those old Demon Race ancestors to the death?
What a joke!
