Fu Yunchen understood his own people quite well, especially Qiao Dongzi, who was absolutely not interested in women. Bai Shalu used to be a playboy, a womanizer, always covered in cosmetics, but the more someone like that is, the more likely they are to leave the water and never go back.
Sure enough, as dusk fell, Qiao Dongzi and Bai Shalu returned, both covered in dust and their clothes were scratched by sharp claws, making them look like beggars.
"We've encountered a powerful corpse general." Qiao Dongzi clicked his tongue on his injured tooth, wincing in pain.
Bai Shalu said, "It's been investigated. This prostitute corpse general knows the art of absorbing yang energy to replenish yin energy, and every man she has absorbed has become her puppet, instantly turning from a human into a corpse demon. There isn't a single living person left in the brothel. The city is in chaos too; every man who has patronized that corpse general has now turned into a corpse demon and is attacking people, even their wives, children, and parents."
"One corpse has stirred up a thousand waves." A chilling glint flashed in Fu Yunchen's eyes. "Kill!"
"Yes!" Bai Shalu and Qiao Dongzi replied in unison.
...
Mu Run lay in bed, telling her two children a bedtime story.
The two little ones fell asleep before the story was finished.
Mu Run lay down, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep. Just as she was about to drift into a light sleep, she suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the lowered bed curtains.
And standing behind the bed curtain was a palace maid!
Judging from her appearance, she is the palace maid that Liu Xiaohuan painted!
Mu Run quietly reached under the pillow, where there was a dagger, which she had asked Fu Yunchen for.
The palace maid stared at the bed curtain with her eyes completely black, without a trace of white.
Suddenly, she moved!
Rushing towards Mu Run's bed, it was like a sharp weapon, striking with deadly force.
Just as she was about to touch the bed curtains, a net descended from the sky and ensnared her.
The next instant, Tianwang carried her away and disappeared swiftly from the palace.
The entire process took only a brief two breaths.
Mu Run was unaware that the crisis had passed, and she still kept a wary eye on the bed curtains.
But, as he stared at it, he fell asleep, and the hand holding the dagger gradually loosened its grip.
Fu Yunchen was in the side hall, looking at the palace maid, especially her face.
"Shave it off." Fu Yunchen gestured to Qiao Dongzi to use a knife to slice off her face.
With a swift stroke, Qiao Dongzi peeled a human skin mask off the palace maid's face, revealing a scarred face beneath.
The palace maid looked at the fallen fake face and suddenly raised her hand to cover her own scarred face. "Don't look, don't look at my face."
"Look at your face, it's an insult." Qiao Dongzi scolded, "Tell me the truth, who gave you this fake face, and where is that person?"
The palace maid opened her mouth to speak, but the name stuck in her throat and she just couldn't get it out.
Qiao Dongzi thought she didn't want to talk, so he pointed his long sword at her neck and said, "Although your face is ugly, your neck is still like a cicada's. I don't mind making it look like your face."
The palace maid suddenly grabbed her neck and began to cough violently.
Fu Yunchen said, "She probably can't say it, because a corpse cannot disobey its master."
"It should be." Qiao Dongzi nodded, then looked at the palace maid, "When did you become like this?"
He pointed to the human skin mask on the ground.
The palace maid picked up the mask, carefully placed it on her face, and replied, "An hour ago."
Fu Yunchen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Does she look like this?"
The palace maid wanted to speak, but she just couldn't utter a word.
"What's wrong with your own face?" Fu Yunchen asked.
The palace maid still couldn't speak.
Qiao Dongzi understood, "She's the one who stripped you of your face."
The palace maid suddenly burst into tears.
Although I can't say it, it's still a kind of answer.
Fu Yunchen continued to ask, "She peeled off your face, so she can take your appearance and act in the palace as you."
