Am I going to die?
Yang Zijing's vision was blurred at this moment, and she couldn't even lift her hand, let alone activate her domain to escape.
Well, anyway, Brother Shu isn't in Yecheng. He's probably escaped, or they never even had the chance to catch him. His mission is complete, it's time...
Exhausted, he slowly closed his eyes, unaware that the deadly dagger at his neck was slowly removed. The dark figure in front of him gradually transformed into a familiar figure, scrutinizing him with a half-smile.
"Hmm... um?"
Yang Zijing sat up abruptly, instinctively touching her neck and head. Thank goodness, it was still on her head. He was still alive!
What's going on? He clearly remembers being injured and near death before, and then encountering the monster hunter he killed with his own hands. There was simply nowhere to escape...
etc.
It seems that in his last moments before losing consciousness, he saw that pesky figure. Could it be...?
Looking around, Yang Zijing seemed to be in a luxurious suite, with a rich aroma of essential oils filling the air. She frowned unhappily and covered her nose with her hand.
He knew that these incense sticks were made from the subcutaneous fat of good-looking livestock, and were even thoughtfully soaked in the milk of the livestock for forty-nine days to make the fragrance even more enticing.
Where is this...?
Who brought him here?
Yang Zijin stood up and found that his injuries had mostly healed, leaving no scars, and he was full of energy. It seemed that all the pain and weakness came only from his own memories.
It's just psychological!
When she went to the bathroom, she passed by the mirror and only glanced at it briefly, but Yang Zijing was immediately stunned.
Who is this in the mirror?!
He is indeed very handsome or beautiful, like the dashing protagonist in the comics I secretly read when I was a child. However, there is no denying that this face is not his!
I touched my entire face, and there was no sticky residue. It didn't look like a disguise; it was more like I had... a completely different head!
"So, do you like it? This face."
Hearing the voices of strangers, Yang Zijin subconsciously turned around and assumed a defensive posture, only to see a handsome young man who looked somewhat like the law enforcement officer Su Luo standing behind him, looking at him with his arms crossed.
"You, you...it's you?!"
Although her gender and appearance had changed, it didn't prevent Yang Zijin from recognizing the other person.
No one knows what method the other party used, but the cat ears on their head disappeared, replaced by a butterfly-shaped tattoo that extended from their face to their neck. To the strange creature, it was a symbol of the creature itself.
Many strange creatures choose to leave their true form or characteristics on their skin in the form of tattoos, making them look more like a person. Su Luo concealed his cat ears in this way and swaggered into Red Leaf City.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Red Leaf City has issued a warrant for Yang Zijin's arrest, so she will take Yang Zijin into Red Leaf City. No matter how hard the monsters in Red Leaf City rack their brains, they will never imagine that the million-dollar bounty they have issued is right in front of them, and has been hanging around for several days.
"How did you recognize me?" Su Luo touched her face. Although they looked somewhat similar, it shouldn't be enough to make her recognized immediately! Besides, she was still a young man.
How can you recognize it? How else can you recognize it? Yang Zijing rolled her eyes inwardly.
It was her unique, mocking gaze and irritating tone that made her so appealing. Who but that madman law enforcement officer would have thought of bringing him into the city?
"here it is?"
"Red Leaf City".
Red Leaf City?!
Yang Zijing twitched her lips, thinking to herself that they were indeed crazy, even going so far as to enter the enemy's base camp and stay in such a nice Guizu hotel.
How long was I unconscious?
"Not much, just three days."
"My face..."
"My family's painted skin appearance has been slightly modified."
After she acquired the [Painted Heart] domain, the aura of the Painted Skin on the contract connecting it to the Painted Skin also changed, and even the system modified the Painted Skin's level.
It went from two stars to eight stars, and even its skills changed. At the moment of the breakthrough, Su Luo saw the same breakthrough of the Painted Skin. Therefore, Yang Zijin's face was completely made by Su Luo based on the current appearance of the Painted Skin. It is perfect to call him a pet!
Of course, that's exactly what she said and did!
"Painted Skin?"
“My contracted pet is like you. Should I give it a nickname too? It doesn’t sound nice to always call it ‘little dog’.”
Yang Zijin: ...
Thank you for the invitation, but I will decline.
However, she really did save me this time, so I should still thank her.
"Thank you for saving me this time. I owe you a favor."
Su Luo raised an eyebrow, neither denying nor denying the favor, and readily accepted it. "Now that you're awake, come with me somewhere."
"Where should we go?"
...
Red Leaf City is one of the nine main cities within the Abyss, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Red Leaf Palace. Ye City, which we visited earlier, is a small border town under Red Leaf City.
Compared to Yecheng, the main city of Hongye is much larger and requires far more materials. If someone were to look down on the entire main city of Hongye under the starry night sky...
The entire Red Leaf City truly looks like a red maple leaf unfolding, dazzlingly red.
Tonight, in the main city of Red Leaf, in the Frostleaf district, a grand feast exclusively for the elite families of strange creatures is slowly unfolding.
"Hello, please show me your invitation."
At the entrance of the magnificent palace, adorned with eerie features, several strange-looking guards politely inquired about the arrival of each distinguished guest.
He casually handed over the invitation from his handbag. The other person accepted it respectfully, and upon seeing the handwriting on it, his pupils widened slightly, and his attitude became even more respectful, even showing a hint of excitement.
"Young Master Su, please come in!"
As soon as this address was uttered, several elegantly dressed ghost ladies who were still outside the main hall all looked over, a hint of dazedness flashing in their eyes. Several young ghost ladies from wealthy families even drooled uncontrollably, staring at Su Luo in a daze, unable to come back to their senses for a moment.
"I had long heard that the young master Su who came to Red Leaf City was exceptionally handsome, talented and wealthy. After meeting him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."
"Is he the hottest young master Su right now? Waaaaah, he's so handsome! If I could be eaten by him (in a physical sense), I'd die happy!"
"Rich and handsome, even prettier than those famous 'femme fatales,' God is so unfair!"
"I wonder when my old man will pass away. While I'm still as beautiful as a flower, if I can catch Young Master Su's eye, wouldn't that be a step up?"
Hearing the discussion among the noblewomen at the door, Yang Zijing's mind was full of questions.
If it weren't for the inconvenient location, he really wanted to ask this guy what he had done in Red Leaf City during those three days. He not only caused a sensation throughout the city, but also made so many mysterious young ladies and ladies infatuated with him. He really was... a mysterious scoundrel?
