At this moment, Su Lijin looked like a child presenting a treasure, showing off proudly, with bright eyes, looking extremely cute.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Shengxing felt a sudden warmth in his heart. He smiled and said, "Since you are so happy, why don't you let me see your cooking skills?"
Su Lijin generously placed the mask in Xiao Shengxing's hands, but she was a little cautious when doing so, obviously cherishing her first work very much.
Sensing her caution, Xiao Shengxing's hands became much gentler. He gently stroked the mask, the texture in his hand feeling like human skin. "It really feels realistic, just like human skin."
Hearing this, Su Lijin smiled and pointed at the details of the mask with satisfaction, saying, "Unfold it and take a look. Not only does it feel great, but the facial details are made to look just like a real person!"
"That nose, those eyes, I made them based on a real person's exact reference!"
"And those hairs, I have collected a lot of real human hair, there is absolutely no adulteration!"
Talking about these details, Su Lijin was extremely proud. She had not expected that her first work would be so successful. The sense of accomplishment in her heart was simply unparalleled.
Watching her excitedly introduce the story, Xiao Shengxing's eyes were filled with smiles. After she finished, he carefully examined the details, smiled and nodded in praise, "As expected, every detail is very realistic. It is truly a masterpiece of great effort. It is truly amazing!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was the master craftsman of human skin masks. This kind of amazing craftsmanship is truly rare in the world!"
Xiao Shengxing praised with a look of sincerity. These compliments coming from his mouth were strangely not greasy at all, but instead made people feel delighted.
At this moment, Su Lijin was overjoyed, her face flushed red from the praise: "Ahem, thank you so much..."
She was half happy and half complaining inwardly.
This Xiao Shengxing is really a disaster. He comes up and starts praising me like this. Who can stand it?
"Humph, you can say so much sweet talk like that. You must use it to coax women often. Humph..."
She hummed softly.
"However, I am a little confused. Who is this for?" Xiao Shengxing suddenly said, staring at the face of the human skin mask.
Su Lijin raised her eyebrows: "Of course it's me."
Xiao Shengxing glanced at her, then at the human skin mask in his hand, and remained silent.
The next day.
Su Lijin received the news from the madam early in the morning.
"Bai Xiaosheng Tan Tai Chun wants to see me?" She was suddenly stunned.
She subconsciously wanted to leave the palace, but suddenly something flashed through her mind. After thinking about it, she got up and went to find Xiao Shengxing.
Xiao Shengxing was currently in the Imperial Garden, sitting amidst a cluster of flowers.
The dragon robe added a touch of majesty to his demeanor, but in such a beautiful scene, he couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.
"Queen, you've been watching for so long, why don't you come and sit for a while?"
When Su Lijin came to her senses, she found that Xiao Shengxing was staring at her with a smile in his black eyes.
Thinking about how I just saw the other person standing there in a daze, I really wanted to bang my head against a pillar to avoid facing this embarrassment.
Quickly calming down, she sat down with a serious expression, pretending to admire the scenery. After a while, she said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the magnificent scene in this imperial garden last time?"
Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes remained unchanged as he asked, "Oh? Is that when, Your Majesty?"
Seeing that he looked confused, Su Lijin thought to herself that this man must have done it on purpose!
After a pause, she smiled and pointed ahead, saying, "The painting competition a while ago was held in the Imperial Garden."
Following his gaze, Xiao Shengxing nodded: "Yeah, not bad."
Then he stopped talking.
Su Lijin's face nearly darkened. She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember that I won first place? You know, the first place reward hasn't been paid out yet."
Hearing this, Xiao Shengxing's lips curled up slightly, almost unable to hold back his smile. Then he said, "What is the Queen's request? Tell me."
Ignoring him, Su Lijin stretched out her hand and said, "I want a token to leave the palace. Your Majesty, please grant it."
In a flash, she saw a dragon-patterned token placed in her palm.
She looked up blankly: "Your Majesty knew I was coming and made preparations long ago?"
Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes darkened slightly as he said, "Queen, please put it away quickly. If you're late, I'll take it away."
These words frightened Su Lijin so much that she clenched her palms and glared at him: "Your Majesty's words are golden and cannot go back on their word. This token was given to me, so it belongs to me!"
After saying this, he guarded the token cautiously and ran away.
Xiao Shengxing's mouth slightly stiffened: "..."
Su Lijin ran back, immediately dressed up as a palace maid, and left the palace directly.
"Bai Xiaosheng, what do you want from me?"
When she came to the secret room of the brothel in Huajie again and appeared in front of Tan Tai Chun, Bai Xiaosheng, who looked like a scholar, reading a book and drinking tea leisurely, was suddenly stunned. Then with a "puff", a mouthful of tea wet the book in his hand!
After coughing violently for a while, Tan Tai Chun asked with a trembling voice, "I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you look like this?"
The Su Lijin in front of him was dressed in men's clothes and had an untidy beard on his face. He looked like a rough man, which was completely different from the masked girl before!
If Tan Tai Chun hadn't known that the person he had an appointment with was her and recognized her voice, he would have almost kicked her out!
Very satisfied with his shocked look, Su Lijin pinched her face appreciatively and said proudly, "Isn't this face nice? Isn't it very realistic?"
"Really..." Tan Tai Chun was powerless.
Su Lijin was so happy that her eyebrows danced with joy: "Look, this human skin mask of mine, combined with this outfit, is so convenient. No one can recognize me, and I won't be discovered no matter where I go."
Tan Tai Chun's mouth twitched: "Even if I change to a better-looking human skin mask, I still won't be recognized, okay?"
It took him some time to adjust, but he finally found this face pleasing to his eyes. After a long pause, he asked, "I heard that Feitian Fairy has returned, but I told you she was dead. Do you know who the Feitian Fairy is now?"
Jianghu Baixiaosheng would not think that his information was wrong, so when he heard about the return of Feitian Fairy, he realized that something was wrong.
"Well..." Su Lijin said in a long voice, and suddenly laughed, "I'll keep it a secret for now."
Tan Tai Chun has always been very interested in these secrets. Seeing her mysterious expression, he found the matter more and more interesting: "It seems that this matter must have a great background."
Su Lijin smiled and nodded: "It's still the old rules, one thing for one thing. If you help me do one thing, I will tell you the identity of Feitian Fairy."
"Hahaha, in this world, you are the only one who dares to exchange information with me, Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng."
Tan Tai Chun was amused by her appearance and felt that the personality of the person in front of him was very much to his liking.
"Then will you agree?" Su Lijin asked with raised eyebrows.
"What's the difficulty? I'll just promise you." Tan Tai Chun was also a man of temperament. He was very satisfied with the previous exchange process with her, so he agreed immediately.
