"Hong Mei, youâre really amazing!"
Hearing this, Hong Mei gently raised her chin.
"I told you long ago, Iâm an expert in Disguise Skill, do you believe it now?"
"We believe it completely, youâre simply incredible!"
Hong Mei smiled and handed a copper mirror to Luochuan.
"Take a look, see if youâre satisfied. If not, we can make some adjustments."
Luochuan took the copper mirror and finally saw himself in it.
Seeing the completely unfamiliar face, he found it hard to believe and even touched it with his hand.
"Thereâs really no flaw at all, itâs simply superb."
"This Human Skin Mask can last for a year. Within a year, you can live with this appearance. Of course, if you want to revert to your original face, I can help you anytime and anywhere, ensuring itâs exactly the same as before, without any effect."
With Hong Meiâs words, Luochuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you. Letâs first go find my father and Saint Ya. I donât want to appear before them with my real face. This is good. Weâll talk about it after we finish resolving the matter."
"No problem, whenever you wish to return to your original face, just tell me."
After speaking, Hong Mei turned her gaze to Gu Sheng.
"Didnât you say after helping Luochuan with his face, youâd accompany me shopping? Shall we go now?"
Gu Sheng nodded, and Hong Mei couldnât wait to pull him along as they headed out.
Bai Yu and Lan Yao laughed from behind, and Hong Meiâs face blushed a little again.
On the street, the two rarely relaxed, Hong Meiâs big eyes eagerly looked around, not wanting to miss a single stall.
Gu Sheng followed her, continuously gripping a purse, buying everything she laid eyes on. As they walked, Gu Shengâs hands were almost full.
It was only when Hong Mei turned her head that she noticed the items in his hands, surprising her immensely.
"Gu Sheng, when did you buy so much stuff?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng couldnât help but laugh.
"These are all the things you looked at just now; I bought them all."
"What? You bought everything I looked at?"
"Yes, I figured everything you looked at must be something you like, so I bought them."
Listening to him, Hong Mei felt deeply touched.
"Gu Sheng, thank you."
"No need to be so formal. Is there anything else you want to buy? Letâs continue shopping."
Seeing both his hands full of stuff, Hong Mei couldnât help but laugh out loud.
"More shopping? Can you even carry more?"
"No worries, I can still..."
Before Gu Sheng could finish his sentence, a shadow suddenly flitted past behind Hong Mei. Startled, he quickly advanced, but was a step slower than the figure.
In a flash, a dagger mercilessly stabbed into Hong Meiâs waist!
As the blood splattered, Gu Shengâs eyes turned red with anger.
"Ling Xiao Master, watch me take your life!"
Drawing out the Fire Spirit Dagger, Gu Sheng flew forward, his aura unleashed completely, not caring about the eyes of those around, viciously charging at Ling Xiao Master.
Seeing his menacing stance, Ling Xiao Master tried to use Hong Mei as a shield. However, Hong Mei wasnât so easily manipulated. She endured the pain in her waist, spun her body, and instantly broke free from Ling Xiao Masterâs grip.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Sheng quickly advanced, with the virgin Fire Spirit Dagger stabbing forward fiercely, straight towards Ling Xiao Masterâs heart!
Sensing the Spiritual Energy erupting from him, Ling Xiao Masterâs complexion changed, and he swiftly stepped back, barely dodging Gu Shengâs attack.
Seeing his uneasy stance, Gu Sheng quickly twisted his body, smashing a palm directly onto Ling Xiao Masterâs back!
Ling Xiao Master instantly spurted a mouthful of blood, his whole body flying several meters forward.
Gu Sheng did not let him go, leaping forward once more, wielding the Fire Spirit Dagger before him.
Gu Sheng aimed to step on his wrist, but he dodged, only stepping on his fingers.
Without hesitation, with a swift motion, Gu Shengâs Fire Spirit Dagger chopped downward, slicing off two of his fingers!
Instantly, screams echoed, causing everyoneâs scalp to tingle.
A formidable aura burst forth from Ling Xiao Master, flipping Gu Sheng away.
Just as Gu Sheng intended to strike again, the entire street suddenly turned chaotic. Countless people started surging towards them, unintentionally or intentionally blocking his path.
Seeing Hong Mei being jostled in the crowd, Gu Sheng quickly squeezed through, holding onto her.
After pulling Hong Mei, he glanced around, but Ling Xiao Masterâs figure was nowhere to be found.
Knowing that these individuals were certainly under his command, Gu Sheng was so angry he nearly bit through his back teeth.
Just as he intended to act, he suddenly discovered that these people had no Spiritual Energy, not even a trace of aura. They were simply ordinary people!
He couldnât bring himself to harm ordinary people, so he could only forcefully suppress his Spiritual Energy and Divine Power, turning around to leave with Hong Mei.
Hong Meiâs wound had stained her waist, with blood continuously flowing down Gu Shengâs fingertips.
A wave of warmth surged in, as Gu Sheng quickly pressed her acupoint, stopping the bleeding.
"Donât worry, I wonât let anything happen to you."
Leaning against his chest, Hong Mei weakly shook her head.
"Itâs okay, Iâm not afraid. As long as youâre with me, I wonât be harmed."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng felt immensely guilty.
He had been by her side all along, yet she was still injured.
Seemingly aware of his thoughts, Hong Mei raised her head slightly, and managed a smile at him.
"Gu Sheng, donât blame yourself; it was him who ambushed me, not your fault."
"If it werenât for me, you wouldnât get hurt."
"I donât mind."
Looking into his eyes, Hong Mei said, and Gu Sheng just felt a warmth in his heart.
His grip tightened a bit more, whispering near Hong Meiâs ear: "Rest assured, I wonât let anything happen to you. I will definitely avenge this!"
"When the time comes, let Huang Shan act. The person he wants to kill most in this life is Ling Xiao Master."
Seeing her still concerned with Huang Shan, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.
"Donât think too much."
Quickly returning, Gu Sheng directly kicked open Lan Yaoâs door.
Lan Yao and Bai Yu were talking, startled by the sudden entrance.
Just as Lan Yao was about to curse, Bai Yu quickly saw the blood stains on them.
"Gu Sheng, whatâs wrong with you? Why is there so much blood?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Yao realized that as soon as they entered, the room was filled with a bloody smell!
"What happened? Werenât you out shopping? How did Hong Mei get injured like this?"
"Ambushed by Ling Xiao Master."
As soon as Gu Sheng spoke those words, everyoneâs expressions changed dramatically.
Lan Yao directly drew his sword, attempting to walk out angrily.
Seeing him, Bai Yu quickly stopped him.
"Can you not be so impulsive! Gu Sheng and Hong Mei are hurt. You just move without knowing the whole story. Could you at least ask about the situation first?"
As Lan Yao turned back, Gu Sheng said while drawing silver needles: "Ling Xiao Master bribed some ordinary people to create trouble, and he has already fled in the chaos. Nowâs not the time to catch him. Give me all the Elixir Pills you have."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly rummaged through their pockets, handing all elixirs to Gu Sheng.
After receiving the elixirs, Gu Sheng pointed to the door.
"Wait outside, donât act rashly."
Understanding his intentions, they quickly exited.
Gu Sheng selected from the elixirs left by the group, finally keeping one from Lan Yao and fed it to Hong Mei.
"Let me heal your injury."
Hong Mei nodded but made no move.
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, then decisively reached out to undo her bloodstained clothes.
Feeling his actions, a bit of blush appeared on Hong Meiâs pale face. Shyly, she turned her head aside as her clothes fell to the ground due to his actions.
