"Come on, put on the mask first." Zhen Xiaoyu reached out and put the mask on Zhao Zongying herself.
When that flawless and extremely handsome face was hidden under the mask, she instantly let out a sigh of relief.
【Gained 30 points of killing intent from Zhao Zongying!】
Zhen Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. She looked at him blankly and met his cold eyes peeping out from under the mask.
What's wrong with the God of Death?
She quickly recalled the details just now in her mind, realized what was going on, and quickly said, "I put the mask on you because you're too good - looking. I'm afraid Dr. Lin will be scared. Keep this mask on until we leave."
"I heard you. There's no need for you to repeat it." Zhao Zongying's eyes were filled with anger.
This woman actually tried to deceive him like a fool!
Why did she have to praise his good looks? It's a big joke!
Such a hypocritical person should just be killed!
【Gained 50 points of killing intent from Zhao Zongying!】
Zhen Xiaoyu was a bit flustered. She was just telling the truth, but why did it arouse the villain's killing intent?
Did he not want to look good?
Wait, maybe he didn't know the changes in himself yet.
In order to test the effect of the beauty pill quietly, she had put some sleeping pills in his water before. That's why he just lay in bed and let her undress him because he was still unconscious.
The reason he was angry now was probably that he mistakenly thought she put the mask on him because she disliked his appearance?
"Uh, don't be angry. Listen to me first." After finding the reason, she immediately decided to explain it clearly to the villain.
Zhao Zongying stared at her coldly, seemingly no longer believing her words.
"Once a fortune - teller for my father gave me a pill he refined. He said it could make people reborn. This pill—" Her eyes became a bit evasive. "I gave it to you."
"So?" Zhao Zongying asked with a half - smile.
"So you've been reborn."
Zhao Zongying laughed out of anger.
【Gained 90 points of killing intent from Zhao Zongying!】
Zhen Xiaoyu's eyelids twitched, and she quickly said, "It's true. Otherwise, why did that person come in just now, see you, but didn't recognize you as A Man?"
Zhao Zongying hesitated. He had just woken up at that time and met that person's inquisitive gaze. He was sure that the other person had seen his face clearly, but the other person said he had mistaken someone.
He raised his hand to touch his face, but Zhen Xiaoyu grabbed his hand and pressed it on his chest.
"Just look at your body and you'll know I'm not lying." Zhen Xiaoyu withdrew her hand and said.
Zhao Zongying lowered his head. What came into view was a piece of fair and flawless skin. Those scars on his body...
All disappeared!
Even the new wounds that hadn't fully healed were gone!
Since the scars on his body were gone, it was imaginable that the scars on his face were probably gone too.
It was really only appropriate to describe the changes in him as being reborn.
It turned out that she really wasn't lying.
Zhao Zongying slowly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him with an indescribable look in his eyes.
"Why did you use such a miraculous pill on me?"
A pill with such an effect could be called a miraculous elixir. This kind of precious item must be extremely valuable.
"Actually, I just wanted to give it a try to see if it really worked." Zhen Xiaoyu said half - truthfully.
"Do you regret it now?" Zhao Zongying stared at her intently.
Zhen Xiaoyu tilted her head. "Why should I regret it? I'm too happy. Such a good effect shows that the fortune - teller really has some skills. Then what he said about my father living to be a hundred years old might be true."
"Last time you said he'd live to be eighty."
"I didn't say a hundred because I was afraid my grandparents wouldn't believe it. It's already quite good to live to be eighty in this era." Zhen Xiaoyu looked innocent. She would never admit that she had forgotten this made - up number.
Zhao Zongying looked at her, and all the killing intents that had just emerged in his heart dissipated.
Before he met her, he couldn't imagine that there would be such a person in the world who could make him extremely angry in an instant and then quickly dissolve his killing intent.
"Creak—" "Just now..."
Dr. Lin's voice suddenly stopped.
Dr. Lin, who had closed the door and rushed back after sending Li Wei and the man in the blue shirt away, was now frozen at the door. He looked at the scene in front of him and was a bit dazed.
From his perspective, he could only see Zhen Xiaoyu standing in front of A Man. A Man, wearing a mask, was sitting on the bed with his upper body bare, and the two were looking at each other affectionately.
Obviously, he had interrupted their good moment.
No wonder the man in the blue shirt had said "Sorry to interrupt. You can continue" when he left.
Now he also just wanted to say this.
Even if this was just a pretense to deal with the man in the blue shirt, since that person had gone far away, shouldn't they have returned to normal?
The two people involved naturally noticed Dr. Lin's little glances because of his rich expressions.
Zhao Zongying casually picked up the clothes piled around his waist and put them on, while Zhen Xiaoyu quickly stepped back to prove her innocence.
As soon as they separated, Dr. Lin's attention was attracted by a pile of skin sheds on the ground.
"No good!" He exclaimed.
Zhen Xiaoyu was startled by him. "What's wrong?"
"There are so many snake sheds in your room. Obviously, a big snake has sneaked in." Dr. Lin nervously scanned the room.
Zhao Zongying looked at the pile of things on the ground that looked like snake sheds. He felt a bit strange in his heart. This should be what had shed from his body.
"Don't worry about the snake for now. Have they left?" Zhen Xiaoyu changed the subject.
"I've temporarily sent them away. But since they've already targeted this place, they'll find you sooner or later if you don't leave." Dr. Lin said worriedly.
Zhen Xiaoyu turned to look at her villain. Now if she wanted to leave, no one would probably stop her. After all, A Man was no longer the A Man of yesterday, and the scars on his face were gone.
"We'll leave for Zou City early tomorrow morning. Dr. Lin, could you please find a carriage for us? After we leave, go to the inn to find Ah Hua and Uncle Jia Xing a day later and tell them to go to Zou City to meet me."
"Leaving early tomorrow morning? That's fine. I'll go find a carriage for you."
As soon as Dr. Lin left, Zhen Xiaoyu went to chat with Mrs. Lin. Although she had only known Mrs. Lin for a short time, she quite liked her. She said goodbye to Mrs. Lin and stuffed a brocade bag for her, saying that she should open it when she was about to give birth.
Inside was the Qi - and - Blood - Replenishing Pill she had exchanged in the system mall, which was used to replenish qi and blood.
This pill was even more expensive than the beauty pill. It cost 200 points of killing intent. But considering the miraculous effect of the beauty pill, she still exchanged for this Qi - and - Blood - Replenishing Pill, which was said to be able to save a life in a critical moment.
Night fell.
When Zhao Zongying went to take a bath, he took off the mask on his face. He slowly lowered his head and looked into the bathtub, using the water surface to reflect his appearance.
The handsome face reflected on the water surface was flawless. All the scars and the imprint on his forehead had disappeared.
He raised his hand to touch his face, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
I don't know how long it had passed when Dr. Lin's voice came from outside.
"Are you done bathing, A Man? I want to talk to you."
