Chapter 281: The Lying Sheng Xiao
Yu Huang’s skin was completely changed. She said to Sheng Xiao, “Drag me into your s.p.a.ce storage and let me hide inside to change my clothes.”
This was the advantage of the Holy Spirit Continent. They could open the small black room anytime and anywhere. Nothing they did there would be discovered.
“Okay.”
Yu Huang was locked into the storeroom by Sheng Xiao. It was dark inside. She quickly took off her ragged clothes, changed into a long-sleeved shirt, and wore a dark blue suit.
Sheng Xiao let Yu Huang out. He saw that she was dressed in a suit. She looked valiant and valiant. He could not help but take a few more glances. Finally, his gaze landed on Yu Huang’s face, and he subconsciously asked her, “Why aren’t you wearing a mask?”
Yu Huang raised the mask in her hand and said, “This mask is a little big and doesn’t feel comfortable wearing it. Where did you get it?” It was obvious that this was a mask a man wore.
Sheng Xiao explained, “Donor gave it to me.” Seeing that Yu Huang had not realized that her appearance was restored, Sheng Xiao reluctantly reminded her, “Touch your face.”
Yu Huang subconsciously touched her face and felt her smooth and flat right cheek. Yu Huang was stunned. “Huh?” She let out a shocked voice. “My face is healed?”
Sheng Xiao nodded. “Yes.”
Yu Huang pressed, “Since my face has recovered, why did you give me a mask?”
Sheng Xiao said nothing.
Yu Huang narrowed her eyes and looked at Sheng Xiao. She asked, “What are you worried about? Are you afraid that others will see my face?”
Sheng Xiao explained awkwardly, “The skin on your face was changing. I borrowed a mask to cover it for you.”
Yu Huang flipped open the mask and stared at the clean mask. “You’re lying. The mask is clean. There’s no skin that I shed off at all.”
If what Sheng Xiao said was true, the mask should be stained with Yu Huang’s ruined skin.
Sheng Xiao was a little embarra.s.sed when his lie was exposed.
He could not admit that he was unwilling to let others see Yu Huang’s beautiful face after discovering that her appearance was restored.
But how should he put it?
It sounded too petty.
Sheng Xiao did not want to explain. He decided not to say anything and just stayed silent.
Yu Huang saw through him at a glance. She said, “You’re afraid that if I’m too beautiful, more people will covet me?”
Sheng Xiao blushed when his thoughts were exposed. But, he refused to admit it.
As long as he didn’t admit it, this matter didn’t exist.
Yu Huang did not pursue the matter.
Yu Huang took out a small mirror and stared at her reflection. She realized that her current appearance had changed slightly from the original owner’s.
In the mirror, Yu Huang’s skin was fair, like a freshly cooked egg that had been peeled. It was tender and smooth, with no flaws at all. Her eyes looked more like those of a phoenix’s.
The current Yu Huang looked a little different from when she was a celebrity. She was less pure-looking and more feisty-looking.
Yu Huang looked up at Sheng Xiao. She said, “I look more like myself now.” This referred to Yu Huang’s own appearance, not that of the original owner of this body.
Sheng Xiao looked at her a few more times. “You’re very beautiful.” The real Yu Huang was even more beautiful than the famous Yu Huang. Her almond-shaped eyes were especially charming and s.e.xy. Just one look at them would make one’s legs go weak.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew a few red leaves to Yu Huang’s feet. Yu Huang picked them up and stuck them in her hair. She looked up and smiled brightly at Sheng Xiao. “Am I beautiful?”
Sheng Xiao looked at her and saw the image of Yu Huang with the red tree leaf on her head. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Yu Huang in a black-gold battle robe and a phoenix feather on her head.
Sheng Xiao suddenly pressed his chest. He felt puzzled and even wanted to cry.
He subconsciously asked Yu Huang, “Have you ever dressed in a black battle robe and a phoenix feather hat before?”
Yu Huang thought about it and shook her head. “No.”
“Is that so?” Sheng Xiao was puzzled. If Yu Huang was not dressed like that, what was up with the scene that flashed across his mind just now?
Trying hard to ignore the discomfort, Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “You look good wearing a red hairpin.”
“Is that so?” Yu Huang said, “Then I’ll wear it often in the future.”
Yu Huang tucked the red leaf behind Sheng Xiao’s ear and put on the silver mask again. “Let’s go to the Cong Lang Mystic Realm.”
“What are we going to do there?”
Yu Huang looked up at the Spirit Gathering Tree and said, “I was entrusted by someone to do something.”
Sheng Xiao took off the leaf behind his ear and planted it on Yu Huang’s head after some thought. Yu Huang looked back at him and smiled. Then, she crossed her arms and strode toward the Cong Lang Mystic Realm.
Sheng Xiao stared at her slender back and felt satisfied when he saw the leaves on her head.
The two of them descended the mountain and quickly arrived at the Cong Lang Mystic Realm.
The Cong Lang Mystic Realm’s door was closed. It was the same as when they left. Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao stood at the door, but they did not go in. Sheng Xiao looked up at the third floor. “There’s a strong smell of blood.”
With such a strong smell of blood, there were probably corpses scattered all over the place and blood flowed like a river.
The two of them looked at each other. Then, Sheng Xiao hit the door with his spiritual energy.
The door was opened, and the portrait of the beauty on the wall fell to the ground again. The ground was also a mess. The two of them walked side by side into the first floor hall of the Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower. Yu Huang walked to the corner of the wall and picked up the painting from the ground.
Sheng Xiao told her, “A wave of people broke in just now.”
Yu Huang wiped the painting and hung it on the wall. She suddenly shouted in a low voice, “Li Nu.”
The moment Yu Huang shouted out this name, the woman in the painting suddenly turned her head. Her hollow eyes stared at Yu Huang quietly.
A moment later, the woman in the painting opened her red lips and said softly, “It’s been more than three thousand years since anyone called me Li Nu.”
Suddenly, there was a flash in the painting. A woman in a pink tube top dress appeared in front of Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao. The woman was a soul, but because she was strong, her soul looked very focused.
The woman stood in the mess. The corner of her pink skirt swept across the ground as she slowly walked towards the Cong Lang Mystic Realm’s entrance.
Li Nu leaned against the door and looked at the Spirit Gathering Tree on the top of the mountain. She said, “He has been gone for three thousand years, so I waited for three thousand years. He said that he would come back and find me.”
“But he can’t come back…”
Li Nu turned around and stared at Yu Huang. She said, “You have the master’s aura on you. Have you seen the master?”
Yu Huang nodded and said, “Prime Emperor Cong Lang has always been with you. He couldn’t bear to see you degenerate into a demon. He hopes that you can let go of your grudge and reincarnate.”
Li Nu smiled bitterly and said, “Master can’t reincarnate, so why should I?” Li Nu stared at the mess on the ground, and hatred welled up in her eyes. “It’s all those people’s fault!”
Yu Huang frowned and asked her, “What happened here?”
“What happened?” Li Nu’s demeanor suddenly became imposing. She raised her arms and roared with a ferocious expression, “I’ll show you what you’ve done!”
The sky suddenly darkened.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao noticed the change in the light. Their expressions were grave.
Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “The grievance aura on Li Nu is too strong. This is the grievance aura realm that she condensed with her grievance aura. She pulled us into the grievance realm. We can only walk out of this array by eliminating her grievance. Otherwise, we will become those dolls upstairs.”
Yu Huang nodded with a heavy heart. “I understand.”
Realizing the severity of the problem, Yu Huang did not dare to lower her guard at all.
The sky darkened completely. Yu Huang could not even see her fingers in front of her. But, Sheng Xiao held her left hand tightly. The next second, the world spun and the two of them appeared again. They found that they were still in the Cong Lang Mystic Realm.
However, the Cong Lang Mystic Realm, with natural treasures everywhere, was like a fairyland at this time. Clearly, they had been brought to the Cong Lang Mystic Realm thousands of years ago by Li Nu.
The two of them looked up and saw a man and woman.
Amidst the high mountains and flowing water, a man in a wolf-patterned robe stood at the peak of the mystic realm. Behind him stood a slightly plump woman in a pink dress.
The man placed his hands behind his back and said to the woman, “Li Nu, my cultivation has stopped at the Prime Emperor realm for a long time and I have been unable to break through to the Divine Master realm. I have a feeling that my life is coming to an end.”
Hearing this, Li Nu felt extremely uncomfortable. She walked to the man’s back and hugged his narrow waist from behind. She pressed her face against the man’s back and said softly, “Master, wherever you are, I will be there.”
It was Prime Emperor Cong Lang and Li Nu.
