Chapter 115 Chapter 115
You Lin felt that agreeing to Fenghuang's plan was the worst decision he had ever made in his life.
Seeing the handsome face in the mirror gradually become gentle and soft, with the last stroke of the Phoenix, a snow-white plum blossom appeared between the eyebrows, and You Lin's eyes gradually changed from struggle at the beginning to numbness.
It is no exaggeration to say that he now even has the thought of "Oh, let it be, the world is destroyed."
He, You Lin, a hundred-foot-long adult dragon, the dignified Dragon Lord of the demon clan, a ruthless man of few words, the most reliable and capable general under the command of the Demon King, is about to welcome his new life today - no, he is being tricked into the door of a new world by his best friend.
Did he really have to go out like this? What if he turned around and was recognized by a demon or a human who knew him? Wouldn't that be social death? You Lin felt suffocated just thinking about it.
Fenghuang, however, was still watching the fun from the sidelines, not caring about the trouble. He held up his fan to cover the corners of his mouth that were about to burst open, and said with a stifled smile, "Actually, this makeup style suits you quite well." He paused, then called out in a clear and melodious voice, "Miss Lin~"
"Stop yelling..." The newly minted "Miss Lin" had a stern face, already filled with shame and indignation. He stared at the phoenix eyes reflected in the mirror, and suddenly a nerve in his brain clicked. In an instant, a thought came to him, and he began to act rashly.
At this moment, Fenghuang was still intently helping him paint the flowers on the corners of his eyes. This was the most popular makeup look among women these days, bright and vibrant without being overly coquettish. Sometimes, Fenghuang would encounter several demons wearing the same look among the demon tribe, demonstrating its popularity.
Before he could even begin to write with the vermilion-stained brush, Fenghuang felt something around his waist. Before he could even begin to speak, a powerful force surged through his waist, and the world spun around. When he finally realized what was happening, he realized he had swapped places with You Lin.
He sat on a chair, while You Lin stood hunched over before him. A snow-white dragon tail was wrapped around Phoenix's waist, as if to prevent him from escaping. The tail was even wrapped around her several times, almost forming a knot.
Fenghuang looked a little confused, and Youlin also looked a little confused.
He obviously hadn't expected that he would succeed so easily, and Phoenix was even completely defenseless against him. This realization made him happy, but he soon fell into self-condemnation.
This honest dragon was probably doing something bad for the first time. He condemned himself for taking advantage of Phoenix's trust while swallowing nervously. While his best friend was still not able to react, he put his left hand on the back of the chair, and with his right hand, he took the brush from his friend's fingertips and lightly drew a stroke on the face, imitating his previous action.
So Phoenix's expression changed from confusion at the beginning to disbelief, and even a bit of condemnation, as if to say: How could you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, do such a thing.
"Women's clothing and all, wear them together." You Lin blushed at the look, but he quickly regained his composure. Judging from his experience, Fenghuang was definitely trying to trick him this time. But there's an old saying that goes, "If you trick the dragon all the time, the dragon will trick you. It's not that you don't want to trick him, it's just that the time hasn't come yet." So what's wrong with him tricking Fenghuang in return?
Although You Lin didn't say this in the voiceover, Feng Huang knew exactly what You Lin was thinking after all, as they were close friends for many years. So he defended himself: "How could I cheat you every day?"
"That's a lot." You Lin thought back to the number of times he'd been cheated over the years, counting on his fingers for a moment before sighing inwardly: He couldn't count them, he couldn't count them at all. Phoenix, just cheat as much as you want, and keep quiet about it, even though he didn't mind.
"Okay, whatever you want." Fenghuang smiled with his eyes curved, then adjusted his posture, turning from passive to active, and gave You Lin an inquiring look: "You can help me, but can you draw well?" He glanced at the brush meaningfully.
"I can. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run (pig colleagues:?). It's just putting on makeup. I'll learn it after watching it twice." You Lin said expressionlessly. Fenghuang's words completely aroused his desire to win. As a Dragon Lord, he would never allow himself to be unable to do anything.
However, Fenghuang just smiled and said nothing. It wasn't until he actually put it into practice that You Lin realized his naiveté. The slender, lightweight brush was even harder to wield than his Dragon Spear. He couldn't control the force at all, and Fenghuang's beautiful face was smeared with red and yellow, like a spilled plate of tomato and chicken eggs. It was truly unbearable to watch.
This visual tragedy ends with the phoenix erasing its own painting, accompanied by the autistic mumbling of a dragon.
Thinking that the sooner he started, the sooner he could finish. While Fenghuang was getting ready, You Lin simply closed his eyes and quickly changed his clothes. But when he turned around and looked at his best friend, he saw the other person blinking and revealing a malicious expression that he was very familiar with.
He hesitated for a moment, trying to recall where he had fallen into the trap set by Phoenix.
Sure enough, Fenghuang said slowly: "I forgot to tell you, we are demons, clothes and other things can be covered with magic." After that, the clothes on his body turned into a skirt in a watery way.
You Lin's lips trembled, and he asked, "Then what is this thing on me?"
"You're quick." Phoenix said sincerely.
So Miss Lin became completely withdrawn and could not get back on her feet.
…
Coincidentally, these days happened to be the New Year's Festival in the human world, and the market was busier than usual.
Amid the cries of street vendors, two figures, one in red and one in white, walked side by side, as if two close friends had had a disagreement. No matter what food or toys the woman in red tried to appease her, the woman in white always turned her head away and refused to look at "her".
He looked so aggrieved, so pitiful that even the small vendor next to him couldn't help but stare at him for a few seconds.
The girl beside them saw them like this and couldn't help but grin and said, "What's the matter? Did you have a fight with your sister?"
"Yes, it's all my fault. He seems really angry this time and even refuses to eat the flower cake." Fenghuang said as he took the cake from the vendor nearby and handed it to You Lin.
There were a few exquisite pastries placed in a small plate made of rice dumplings leaves. The aroma of the pastries had a faint scent of plum blossoms, which tempted people like a glutton and went straight into their noses.
You Lin remained unmoved.
Phoenix took a bite and shared a piece with the girl next to him: "This flower cake is so sweet, it's the most delicious delicacy in heaven, right?"
"Really? It's delicious." The girl agreed.
A vendor nearby couldn't stop grinning: "Oh, you're so kind, it's just that the plum blossoms are in full bloom this month."
At this time, You Lin finally reacted. He still turned his head away, but his hand accurately picked up a piece of flower cake and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing for a long time, he said coldly: "Twenty-five taels of glutinous rice flour, fifteen taels of flour, nine taels of sugar, a little honey, and ten taels of plum blossom..."
The vendor feigned fear and said, "Girl, you can be angry, but don't tell me my secret recipe!" This girl's tongue was truly amazing; she could actually taste it. Fortunately, his flower cake wasn't a secret recipe, otherwise she would have cried to death today.
You Lin's voice choked as he spoke: "He didn't put as much sugar as I did. It's not sweet at all."
Fenghuang suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, okay, Miss Lin's flower cakes are the sweetest and most delicious."
"Miss Lin? As expected, she lives up to her name. She sounds like a gentle and pretty girl."
"...Thank you." Once he started talking, You Lin could no longer remain silent.
The girl was also lively and talkative, and it didn't take long for them to become familiar with each other. After a few words, Fenghuang and Youlin's personalities were quickly established - the young ladies who had sneaked out to play during the upcoming festival, and because they had always been kept in the deep courtyard, they were very curious about everything outside.
"I see." The girl was very understanding. "Since you're just out here having fun, it's definitely not convenient to reveal your names. In that case, I'll take the liberty of calling you Xiaohong and Xiaobai."
"As for me, my name is Ah Xue, and I'm a swordsman who travels the world punishing evil and promoting good." Ah Xue was very proud of her identity. She also took the initiative to show the two of them her sword - a sword that exuded an icy aura.
"Axue is amazing," Fenghuang said sincerely. In his eyes, those who could achieve enlightenment through swordsmanship possessed a formidable spirit, unmatched by ordinary people. Furthermore, judging by her aura, her cultivation level was quite high despite her youth; she must have practiced diligently.
Ah Xue was obviously very happy. She looked around and suddenly said, "Just shopping is a bit boring. I know a good place to go. It's definitely lively."
"where?"
"Washe~"
Seeing the two people's confused expressions, Axue patiently explained, "The so-called Washe is an entertainment venue designated by the higher-ups. It has everything there. You can drink tea, listen to music, watch plays, and play chess. It's a great place to relax. It just so happens that the New Year is approaching, and as usual, there might be some new activities there."
There's no doubt that it would be the place with the heaviest traffic, full of people of all kinds, and more likely to be noticed by the target. Thinking of this, Phoenix narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, let's go take a look."
"Let's go, let's go. Things are not going well. Let's set off immediately!" Axue's impetuous personality does not match her spiritual root attributes at all.
The streets were packed with people, and Fenghuang saw many carrying large and small bags, their faces beaming with smiles. Ah Xue explained that they were buying New Year's goods, as they wouldn't be able to go out for the New Year's holiday. The purchases they made over the past two days would be used to stock up for the next ten days, so the purchases were much heavier.
Phoenix nodded and suddenly said, "Be careful!"
Axue was not paying attention to the front when she spoke, so when she turned around, she inevitably bumped into someone.
With a "bang", the scroll scattered all over the floor.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The girl was in a panic, apologizing while frantically picking up the scattered scrolls. The clasps on some of the scrolls hadn't been properly fastened, and the scrolls had fallen apart. Phoenix noticed that the scrolls all seemed to depict the same man, just from different angles and with different clothing.
You Lin sneezed uncontrollably more than a dozen times, then stood aside pinching his nose in pain.
Axue rubbed her head and said, "It's okay, just be more careful next time."
"It seems like these paintings depict the same person?" Fenghuang picked up the scattered scrolls, rolled them up one by one, and returned them to the girl. As he returned them, he subconsciously stroked the paper.
"Yes, yes. Thank you." The girl took the scroll and thanked him repeatedly. When she raised her head, Phoenix keenly noticed something strange - her eyes were extremely tired, as if she hadn't rested for several days and nights, but her complexion was remarkably healthy.
Common sense suggests that a person's spirit, energy, and spirit are interconnected. No matter how good their physical fitness is, if their mental state is poor, it will immediately show in their complexion. This girl gave him the feeling of a tired soul forced into a vibrant body, looking completely fragmented.
"Thank you..." she thanked him again. After hesitating for a moment, she pulled out one of the paintings and unfolded it, saying, "Excuse me, have you seen the person in the painting? He's my senior brother, and he suddenly disappeared three months ago. I'm here to find him. I want to bring him back."
Fenghuang examined it carefully and shook her head. Ah Xue hadn't seen it either.
So the girl turned her timid gaze to You Lin, with a hint of barely perceptible expectation.
You Lin didn't say anything, but sent a voice message to Fenghuang: "There's something wrong with her scent. It's a bit like the person who stopped me yesterday."
