Chapter 501 Human Skin Mask
Chapter 501 Human Skin Mask
However, she had placed all her hopes on the Fifth Prince, but now that he no longer pays attention to her, what will she do?
Should we continue to try and get closer to the Fifth Prince, or shift our focus and find someone else? Or should we simply give up?
Ye Qing'an chuckled softly. In her eyes, Ye Weilan was now more like a joke—killing her own mother and trying every means to marry someone else. She wanted to see what other shocking things Ye Weilan would do next.
"It's alright, just have someone keep an eye on her. I'd like to see what kind of trouble she can cause next."
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly: "Just treat it as entertainment."
When Ye Qing'an went to the Cloud Dreamland again at night, she saw Jiu Xiao walking back and forth in front of her with his hands behind his back, smiling at her but not saying a word.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing?"
Jiuxiao blinked and chuckled, "Guess what I'm going to do?"
No need to guess?
"Look at that incredibly lewd smile of yours, what's there to guess? It must be that I want what you're making to be done well."
"..." Jiu Xiao stomped his feet in anger: "What do you mean by looking at me with such a lewd smile? How am I lewd? If you insist on talking like that, I won't give it to you."
"is it?"
After Ye Qing'an finished asking, he raised his finger, and a beam of white light fell on Jiu Xiao. Almost instantly, Jiu Xiao was unable to move: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Ye Qing'an stood up and slowly walked towards Jiu Xiao: "I gave you a chance. Since you are unwilling to call it out yourself, then I will have to search you myself."
"Search me!" Jiu Xiao's exclamation was deafening. "Can't you act like a lady? I'm a man! Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Ye Qing felt no pressure at all: "You? How can you be considered a man? You're at most a male."
"..."
That makes perfect sense, and I can't refute it.
But! That doesn't mean I can let her search me!
Jiuxiao took a deep breath and quickly took out the human skin mask from his body: "Here, here, here!"
As she tossed the human skin mask to Ye Qing'an, she muttered to herself, "I've never seen a woman like you before. Your existence has completely shattered my understanding of the word 'shameless.' Sigh... I think every day, if only I could go to heaven and meet those gods, like the Jade Emperor, Buddha, Guanyin, and so on, then I could ask them why they arranged for me to be your spirit beast."
Ye Qing'an took the human skin mask, ignored him, and simply picked it up and stuck it on her face.
Jiuxiao was now quite perceptive and quickly brought out a bronze mirror: "Please."
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the bronze mirror, where a somewhat familiar face appeared.
Jiu Xiao quickly flipped through the list of beauties that Ye Qing'an had asked him to find, and turned to the page with Ye Huajin: "Look, isn't it exactly the same? Tell me yourself, isn't it exactly the same? Sometimes I admire myself. I'm practically omnipotent. There's nothing in this world that I can't do."
Ye Qing stared at the bronze mirror for a while before saying, "The face shapes are a bit different. Her face shape is softer, while mine is more angular."
"This isn't my fault. I don't know osteopathy, and this is the best a human skin mask can do. If you want it to look exactly the same, it's not difficult. Just let your hair down a bit to cover it up."
Ye Qing'an took off the hairpins and hair ornaments from her hair and used them to cover her face slightly, which did make her look much better.
"Hmm, it's alright."
"Tsk, such an exquisite human skin mask, is it really just 'okay'?"
Ye Qing'an turned her head and squinted at Jiu Xiao. Jiu Xiao quickly coughed lightly, "I got carried away. I was just hoping to gain your approval as your spirit beast."
Jiu Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an's face, which was covered by a human skin mask: "Are you planning to go see Gu Duo now?"
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "Not now."
"Not now?" Jiu Xiao was a little confused about what Ye Qing'an was thinking. In fact, he had never really understood what Ye Qing'an was thinking.
Jiuxiao sighed: "Why?"
“Although you made it based on the portrait in this book, no one can guarantee that the portrait in this book will look exactly like the real Ye Huajin. So, I need to find someone who knows Ye Huajin first to take a look and make sure that everything is in order before I go to Gu Duo.”
"More than ten years have passed, who still remembers what Ye Huajin looks like? Go ask your old nanny?"
Ye Qing'an's lips curled slightly: "I don't know about others, but Ye Qinghao definitely remembers what Ye Huajin looks like."
"But do you dare to ask Ye Qinghao? Are you crazy? What will you say when Ye Qinghao asks?"
Ye Qing'an's smile deepened: "You've probably forgotten that Ye Huajin has been dead for over ten years."
"Of course I know that Ye Huajin has been dead for more than ten years. It is precisely because Ye Huajin has been dead for more than ten years that I think you have gone mad."
"If someone who has been dead for more than ten years suddenly appears in your house in the middle of the night, what would you think?"
After being prompted by Ye Qing'an, Jiu Xiao blinked slightly and asked, "A ghost?"
"Yes, they either think it's a ghost, or they think they're dreaming. No one would guess that this Ye Huajin is me in disguise."
"But Ye Qinghao is not at the Ye residence."
“No, Ye Qinghao should be here. He shouldn’t have left since I saw him last time. Because recently, Ye Zirui and the steward have been going to the main courtyard more often.” Ye Qing’an ran her fingers over the human skin mask on her face: “And even if he’s not in the manor, I can still go to… go to the steward.”
"If the steward saw me, his first reaction would definitely be to summon Ye Qinghao. After all, the steward is Ye Qinghao's spirit beast, isn't he?"
As Ye Qing'an spoke, he took off his outer robe, leaving only a plain white inner garment, and then disappeared into the Dreamland of Clouds.
Jiu Xiao smacked his lips, feeling somewhat alarmed. It seemed that Ye Qing'an was indeed becoming more and more shrewd.
Sigh... It's not a good thing for our master to be too shrewd.
Especially for a spirit beast like him, who has no life ideals, only thinks about eating and waiting to die, and only thinks about making money and finding a beautiful wife to mate with, it's simply a nightmare.
Jiuxiao sighed, but quickly followed.
Although he is an unambitious spirit beast, he still has to fulfill his duties as a spirit beast.
In case... in case something happens to Ye Qing'an, he can still use his summoning magic to save her life, right?
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel that the meaning of my existence has become very important.
