Mortal Mirror

Zhu Zhu looked at Li Ergou, understanding that if she forced the money on him, it would only make him angry. So, she said, "Alright, since that's the case, I won't be polite. After all, we've been through life and death together. From now on, we're good friends."

Li Ergou was stunned, thinking she should have declined a bit. He was just being polite. The Daoist coins were a huge fortune. Even if he didn't want them, he could have replicated them.

He regretted it but felt helpless. Seeing his expression, Zhu Zhu couldn't help but think he was really dense. He must be overjoyed to become her friend, the silly goose.

Regret was useless. If he didn't want it, he didn't want it. But he had gained another friend, and that made him happy.

He composed himself and said, "That's right. We're friends now. If you mention giving me money again, I won't consider you my friend." Actually, saying this made his heart bleed.

Zhu Zhu smiled, thinking, "Humph, you little rascal, I knew it. I guessed right."

Li Ergou felt like he had lost a gold mine and was sad enough to cry. He said he needed to relieve himself and walked out of the cave. In reality, he wanted to replicate everything: the Daoist coins, the copper sword, the golden toad, and the Jade Maiden Sutra.

Looking at so many treasures, he was thrilled, especially with the Daoist coins, which represented a huge fortune.

One zhu of Daoist coins could be exchanged for one hundred taels of gold. After replicating them, he had four one-zhu coins and two ten-zhu coins. His mind was overwhelmed, unable to calculate how much gold that amounted to. It was too much to count.

He never dreamed he would become so wealthy. It was true that a horse doesn't get fat without night grazing, and a man doesn't get rich without unexpected wealth. Never underestimate the young.

While he was rejoicing, he heard a baby crying. He remembered the unkilled infant outside and rushed to check. Thankfully, the baby was fine. He picked up the baby and headed back.

When he returned, Zhu Zhu was amused and exasperated, having almost forgotten about the little one.

However, the baby cried incessantly in Li Ergou's arms. Zhu Zhu immediately took the child, and strangely, the baby stopped crying.

"So cute, it's a little girl."

Li Ergou said, "Really? She's lucky to be alive. Otherwise, she would have become one of those skeletons. I still want to give Zhang Baisui a few more cuts. He's inhuman. Are all cultivators of unorthodox paths so cruel?"

Zhu Zhu sighed, "They don't have the true methods and want to improve their cultivation quickly, so they use people as ingredients to achieve rapid progress. Many demonic paths are equally cruel. Anyway, there aren't any good people among them."

Li Ergou nodded, then, thinking of something, took out the Jade Maiden Sutra and handed it to Zhu Zhu. "It's not safe with me. You should keep it. It's going to be yours eventually anyway."

Zhu Zhu was slightly stunned, then delighted. "Okay, I'll take it. But in return, I'll have Uncle Qian train you when we get back. Otherwise, being so clumsy is a waste of your strength."

Li Ergou's face fell. "Is that necessary? Is Uncle Qian any good? He looks intimidating."

Zhu Zhu chuckled. "You can question me, but not Uncle Qian's skills. It would scare you to death if I told you how powerful he is. Trust me, it's for your own good."

Fine, Li Ergou didn't argue. It would be good to have a master teach him some martial arts. He was happy about it.

"Gaa gaa gaa..."

The baby started crying again, no matter how Zhu Zhu tried to soothe her. She suddenly thought, "Could the baby be hungry? But I don't have any food with me. Do you have any?"

"Uh, food?" Of course, he had food, but it was all in the copper mirror. There were fifteen sheep, three pigs, some pork, and fish inside.

But he couldn't just pull those things out of thin air.

An idea struck him, and he clapped his hands. "Wait here. Zhang Baisui couldn't have survived here without eating or drinking. I'll go look for something to eat.

I'll also see if there's an exit."

Zhu Zhu naturally agreed and waved her hand. "Go, go, come back quickly. It's so dark here, I'm scared."

The girl seemed to be familiar with Li Ergou, not hiding her thoughts at all. Perhaps she didn't even realize how natural she was being.

Li Ergou didn't hesitate. He told her to be careful and went to look for an exit and food.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find an exit anywhere. If the only exit was the one they fell through, it would be terrible. With his abilities, a wounded person, and a baby, how would they get out?

He felt helpless and could only think of another way.

He remembered that he had replicated several ewes that had just given birth to lambs. He wondered if they still had milk after so long.

He quickly moved his mind and took the ewe out of the mirror.

The ewe's udders were full, indicating it had milk. He squeezed it, and milk flowed out. "Great, the baby will have something to eat."

He also took out a large bowl from the copper mirror, which he had replicated when he copied the food. He really had a lot of eating utensils.

He had all kinds of pots and pans. He wouldn't go hungry, anyway.

Without thinking further, he took the bowl, drove the milk goat, and walked towards the cave, having already thought of a reason.

Entering the cave, Zhu Zhu was surprised to see that he had brought back a goat. "How did you get a goat?"

Li Ergou chuckled. "Who knows how he got a goat in here? Maybe it's easy to store. Unfortunately, I looked around and couldn't find an exit.

By the way, this is a ewe that has given birth. The little one is lucky, her life is not over yet."

"What, really? That's great." Zhu Zhu was very happy.

Zhu Zhu only cared about whether the child could eat and didn't pay attention to the exit.

Li Ergou didn't hesitate, put the big bowl under the sheep's belly, and began to milk it skillfully. Looking at the white milk, he couldn't help but laugh, thinking about how he used to steal this thing.

He always made the little sheep scream. It was so funny to think about it now.

Soon he squeezed a big bowl of milk and handed it to Zhu Zhu. "Hurry up and give it to her, it's still warm."
