Chi Jiao walked over to her small sofa and sat down, then took out some jelly, chips, yogurt, and chocolate from the small refrigerator beside it.
The mirror spirit’s eyes immediately lit up when it saw the snacks.
Looking at the mirror spirit’s expression, Chi Jiao knew that this little fellow was a complete foodie.
“What do you want to eat?” Chi Jiao asked.
The mirror spirit pointed at the jelly.
Chi Jiao threw the bag of jelly over to the mirror spirit, who caught it firmly. It opened the package and squeezed the jelly into its mouth.
After eating a few jellies, the mirror spirit slowly said, “My original name was Shen Xing, which means lucky star. My parents gave me this name because they hoped that I would be lucky forever. In the end, when I was three, my father died in a car accident, and my mother fell into extreme sorrow. She passed away when I was five, and I became an orphan. At that time, I felt that my name was a joke. After living in an orphanage for a month, I had an accident. I accidentally fell into a dry well headfirst. I was unconscious for three months in the hospital…”
With that, the mirror spirit lifted its fringe, revealing its forehead.
There was indeed a small scar the shape of a crescent moon on its forehead.
This proved that it was not lying.
“Three months later, I woke up one night and realized that something was wrong with my body. When I looked in the mirror, I couldn’t see myself in the mirror anymore. I was very afraid at that time and did not know what was going on. But I knew that if I became different from others, others would think of me as a monster. So, I didn’t dare to tell anyone. At that time, I didn’t know that I had become a mirror spirit. It was after I met that man, who told me.”
Chi Jiao nodded as she listened to the mirror spirit… no… Shen Xing.
There was nothing suspicious about what Shen Xing had said.
After becoming a mirror spirit, the mirror would no longer show its reflection. It belonged to the mirror, anyway.
However, she didn’t expect the little mirror spirit’s background to be so tragic.
“I really don’t know who that man is. He came to the orphanage as a donor. The first time I met him was on my fifth birthday. He especially brought me a Transformer toy as a gift and asked if I was willing to leave with him. I thought he was going to adopt me, so I was very happy. As life in the orphanage was not easy, I agreed without hesitation. After he brought me out of the orphanage, he arranged for me to stay in a rented house. I didn’t see him for the next month. Someone would deliver my daily meals. One month later, he brought a girl back…”
“A girl?” Chi Jiao narrowed her eyes.
Shen Xing nodded. “Yes, it was a young girl. She was about 14 or 15 years old. They didn’t allow me to be present when they were talking, so they chased me into the bathroom. I vaguely heard them talking about the Soul Stone. Also, that woman called the man Brother Sheng. I couldn’t hear anything else because the bathroom’s soundproofing was good. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about. After they finished talking, that man called me out of the bathroom and took out an Eight Trigrams mirror. I was then sealed into the mirror and I didn’t know anything anymore. Everything I just said to you is the truth. Even if you don’t believe me, I can’t do anything about it.”
