“…” Lou Qianxue speechlessly inspected the mask.
She could see intricate red inscriptions carved at the edges of the silver mask. The mask looked so beautiful and exquisite that others would not be able to take their eyes off it. It was extremely pretty and without any imperfections.
“The masks of the Gate of Seven Kills have their own mechanisms. Only the person wearing it can remove it. Others are unable to. Just like this. Look!”
To demonstrate the mask’s properties, the scarlet-masked man took off his scarlet mask.
When Lou Qianxue raised her head and looked at him, she could not avert her gaze for a while. A look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
The scarlet-masked man… is actually so handsome!
His skin was much fairer than others. It was so smooth that there was not even a pore visible on it. Besides the smooth curvature of his face, he looked much more handsome than other men. His sparkling and pretty eyes were charming, and when combined with his light pink lips, he looked like a pretty boy right out of novels.
“You…” How can an assassin look like this? Isn’t the contrast too big?
“I look quite good, right?” The scarlet-masked man’s lips curved upwards into a proud yet harmless smile. “Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Shi Mengyang, but you can call me Mengyang.”
Lou Qianxue regained her senses and shook her head. “I prefer calling you Scarlet-masked.”
Shi Mengyang regretfully shrugged. “Alright then. You can continue calling me Scarlet-masked… However, I must tell you something, Qianxue.”
“Yes?”
“In my family clan, women who have seen my face must… marry me.”
Lou Qianxue wore her mask and nonchalantly narrowed her eyes. She then said in a threatening tone, “What did you say? I didn’t really catch that. Say it again.”
The scarlet-masked man looked at her in a daze. “Qianxue, did anyone tell you that you’re really beautiful?”
“…” Lou Qianxue slapped his head. “Is there something wrong with your head? The way I look right now, how can anyone call me beautiful?”
“I’m speaking the truth.”
The exquisite mask tightly fit on Lou Qianxue’s face, making the elegant curvature of her face even smoother.
After the mask had concealed the marks of the poisonous fire on her face, only Lou Qianxue’s red lips and clear, confident eyes could be seen. However, like a magnet, they gave off a strong attraction to everyone’s eyes.
Besides that, there was her confidence, ease, and divine-like aura.
She was so beautiful that Scarlet-masked was charmed!
“Alright, I’ll just believe that you’re speaking the truth.” Lou Qianxue smoothened her long hair. “I should leave now. Hope to see you again.”
“I heard that you’re going to the Imperial City,” the scarlet-masked man quickly said. “After I settle the matters here, I’ll join you there. Don’t reject me then.”
“… I’ll see when the time comes.”
Lou Qianxue bid farewell to the slightly strange scarlet-masked man. After getting a dragon horse from the Gate of Seven Kills, she rushed toward the Imperial City.
Liuyun Prefecture was very far from the Imperial City, and she had to pass by a lot of prefectural cities on the journey.
One of them was Lingxi Prefecture, the famous capital of pills.
“With the ‘Phantom Demon Heart Fire,’ I can refine higher-grade pills. Since I’m passing by Lingxi Prefecture, I shall give it a visit and buy some herbs.”
Two days later, Lou Qianxue arrived at Lingxi Prefecture.
The city was not big, but it was crowded and lively.
The pedestrians on the street were packed like sardines. People could barely move around in the congested streets.
“Looks like I did not come at the right time.” Pulling the dragon horse behind her, Lou Qianxue entered the city. Her elegant aura, exquisitely beautiful mask, and the rarely-seen dragon horse instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
