Chapter 33 Half-beast.
"Thank you, but I'm really fine. You don't have to worry." Grace's voice came again, still with obvious repression and restraint, obviously not listening to her words.
Lu Xia didn't plan to persuade her any more. She didn't believe that this person could live in the bathroom for a lifetime, so she simply said: "Okay, I'm glad you're fine."
After that, she didn't say whether she would stay or leave, and turned around and walked to the bed and sat down.
Her eyes were looking in the direction of the bathroom, as long as Grace came out of it, she would be able to see it at a glance.
Grace listened for a while and didn't hear any more sounds. She just thought that Lu Xia had left, which made her originally tense nerves relax. Her body lost strength and fell to the ground, gasping in pain.
At this moment, he was no longer a human or a ghost. Half of his body was covered with thick black scales, which looked extremely weird.
Grace struggled to get up and looked at herself in the mirror.
Half of his face was covered with a layer of sharp scales, and he even had horns. Half of his eyes were only black pupils, and there was no white at all.
He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand and stroke it to confirm whether all this was true, but when he raised his hand, he found that his right hand had been replaced by sharp claws.
If a little female saw him like this, she would definitely be scared.
Even if Lu Xia didn't have any disgust or dislike for him, she would feel it when she saw him like this.
Too ugly!
It was really too ugly. How could he be so ugly and stand beside Lu Xia?
Thinking of this, Grace raised his hand to pick at the scales on his face, trying to pick off those ugly scales, as if this would restore his previous appearance.
But those scales were not only hard but also very sharp. Not only did they not get picked off, but they cut his fingers and made them bleed!
Realizing that these scales could not be removed in this way, Grace looked down at his hands that had turned into sharp claws, and then grabbed the scales on his chest without any hesitation.
With a swish, the scale attached to the chest was torn off, and blood spilled all over the floor in an instant. But the miraculous thing was that the torn wound was repaired at an extremely fast speed. Soon, the place was healed again and a new scale grew.
The sound coming from the bathroom caught Lu Xia's attention and made her frown. Just when she wanted to ask Grace what she was doing in there, the terminal on her wrist vibrated.
It was a video invitation from Prince Li Mang.
Lu Xia looked in the direction of the bathroom, turned around and left the room, and then connected the video call. Soon, Prince Li Mang, wearing a wig, appeared on the other end of the video. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood and even took the initiative to say hello: "Duke Lu Xia, good day."
"Good day, Your Excellency." Lu Xia smiled back at the camera.
"Are you busy? I want to talk to you about something. Is it convenient?"
"It's convenient, you say." Lu Xia said and walked to the window.
"It's like this. Didn't I tell you before that a friend of mine has hair loss problems? After using the hair growth liquid you sent, her scalp has been itchy these days, and there is dandruff, but you can faintly see the hair roots. She asked me to ask, is this normal?"
Lu Xia was not surprised by Prince Li Mang's question. She calculated the time, and the other party was almost using the effect.
"It's normal. Some slight itching is the hair growth liquid activating the scalp, and dandruff is the scalp speeding up metabolism.
When the hair grows and returns to normal, this situation will disappear. In the future, the hair growth liquid can be used as a daily care liquid." Lu Xia's answer was direct and clear, which immediately cleared Prince Li Mang's worries and made her feel relieved instantly.
She was in a good mood when she saw the hair roots growing these days. At this moment, she was completely relieved to hear Lu Xia's confident answer.
"That's good. My friend has also been troubled by hair loss for many years. This suddenly has some effect. I wonder how happy she is."
"I'm glad that I can help her." Since His Excellency the Prince did not want to admit that he was the so-called friend, Lu Xia would not say anything to expose the truth. "If you have any questions or suggestions during the use of the hair growth liquid, you can ask. I can answer and make changes at any time."
"My friend said that she was very satisfied with both the fragrance and the packaging. The key thing is that the product is really good. You don't know, before this, I didn't know... Well, my friend doesn't know how many similar products she has used, and the results were not satisfactory. They are all liars. Duke Lu Xia, you are so capable, you will definitely be rich in the future."
"Then I will take advantage of your good words and thank His Excellency the Prince for helping me sell my products."
"This is what I should do. Your products are well made. Even if I don't sell them, there will be a lot of people buying them. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Go on with your work."
"Okay, you can contact me anytime if you have anything. Goodbye." After talking with Prince Li Mang, Lu Xia immediately returned to the room and went straight to the bathroom. This time, she did not wait outside the door, but knocked on the door directly, "Grace, come out!"
She was wrong. She should not give freedom to a person like Grace who escapes.
Seeing no response from inside, Lu Xia spoke again: "Grace, don't force me to use the obedience contract!"
After the words fell, a voice finally came from inside, and then the next second, the sound of the door opening came, and then Lu Xia saw blood dripping.
With a frown, Lu Xia raised her hand to open the door. What she saw was blood all over the floor and scales thrown on the floor. Lu Xia raised her eyes and looked at the man who was half covered by black scales.
Grace stood in front of her, and the half of his face that was not covered by scales was bloodless and pale to the point of being transparent.
Lu Xia did not expect Grace to look like this. She did not expect that his condition would progress so quickly!
But she was not frightened by Grace's strange appearance, but felt a strange beauty.
Her scrutiny was an invisible judgment for Grace. He stood here firmly, as if waiting for a result.
He could not change back to his previous appearance, and could only look at people in this ugly appearance. He could not care about other people's eyes, but he could not care about Lu Xia's thoughts.
If he saw disgust in her eyes, he could die immediately.
However, Lu Xia kept looking at him, showing neither disgust nor disdain, but her eyes looked amazing.
Lu Xia, who had been looking at Grace, naturally felt the man's uneasy eyes, which were pleading, humble, fearful and contradictory.
It seemed that as long as she said some words of disdain, the man would flee from here.
This made her soft-hearted for a moment, and she stepped forward and reached out to touch the scales on his face: "This is considered half-beast transformation...hiss!"
Without paying attention, the sharp scales cut her fingers, and she couldn't help frowning in pain, but she didn't wait for her to retract her fingers.
The man gently grasped her wrist, and then took her injured finger into his mouth...
