Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 556: Take Down the Face

Towards gu, this kind of thing, Gong Jiu had just occasionally heard of before, but never came in contact with before. In reality, even if wanting to come in contact with, it was also quite difficult, and even impossible. He just heard that its effect was strange and unpredictable, rare in amount, not easy to raise, and was something exclusively owned by a group known as the Baiyi clan. The people of this ethnic group were sparse in numbers, because of not forming marriage ties with outsiders, so their population number was always a big problem. To be able to maintain at about a thousand people was already quite difficult. But, even if sparse in numbers, outsiders still didn’t dare to provoke, precisely because of this gu bug.

And this Baiyi clan was precisely within Southern Qi’s borders.

As a ruler, generally speaking, all won’t allow this kind of difficult to control thing to exist. However, the place where the Baiyi clan resided, never mind that outsiders for the most part don’t know, just based on that limited understanding—-the Baiyi clan’s surroundings were filled with all kinds of poisonous bugs and snakes, overflowing with miasma——for the most part, one has never heard of anyone going in and afterwards returning in one piece.

That’s why, this kind of existence, even if Gong Jiu was interested in, in the end, he still could only give up. However, right now, he unexpectedly came in contact with this kind of thing, though Gong Jiu wasn’t certain whether this thing was precisely the gu bug or not.

Afterwards, Gong Jiu dug out a box from his personal medicine case, having the gu bug placed in it. Staring at the closed lid, there was a hard to understand uncertainty in his eyes. Shortly after, Gong Jiu took the box to go see Li Hong Yuan.

At the moment, Li Hong Yuan was currently sitting in front of Yao Rao. Yao Rao’s skill in disguise was quite brilliant, just right now, she was a bit miserable looking, because not just one layer of skin mask got peeled from her face, and every layer was a different face.

Reasonably speaking, for someone as prideful and conceited as her, believing herself to be peerless in beauty, each face should all be beautiful. However, this wasn’t the case. Not only were some faces completely unremarkable, there were even elderly looking ones. It can be seen that she was extraordinarily flexible.

Yao Rao was different from the Changping Marchioness. Perhaps having gotten ruthlessly hurt by men before, that’s why, on the surface, she was extremely promiscuous, while on the inside, she actually had men treated as playthings, wanting to have all men played with in the palm of her hand, stepping on under her feet, letting them become the prisoners under her dress. What she enjoyed was the process of conquering them, unlike that Ruan Manor’s Wei-shi. After all, what that one wanted was just pure carnal desire, even the intelligence gathering can all be placed aside. After all, her husband was the Head Cabinet Minister, so it was very easy to obtain what she wanted. The others really didn’t have much value to her.

That’s why, while the Changping Marchioness was still able to peacefully smile upon seeing Li Hong Yuan, deeply sighing in all kinds of ways, Yao Rao was just being wanton in all kinds of ways, truly alluring to the extreme. After all, when she’d entered the capital, upon meeting Li Hong Yuan for the first time, she’d already produced thoughts. In this kind of situation right now, under normal circumstances, it all won’t be a good end, but if able to have the person seduced, then there was still a trace of hope, no?

However, it was obvious, this kind of method didn’t have the slightest effect at all in front of Li Hong Yuan.

And the reason why he was still here, in a certain sense, it was actually because his mood wasn’t too good. It goes without saying, Sun Yi Lin didn’t act according to his predictions. If it didn’t involve Jing Wan, then he perhaps can still be very patient, but obviously, because it involved Jing Wan, that’s why, he inevitably will be a bit irritable, needing to find a place to vent.

Just, because Jing Wan was pregnant, Li Hong Yuan didn’t want to let her worry. That’s why, he suppressed his temper from erupting as much as possible, because once it thoroughly erupt, it will inevitably leave behind marks.

As such, never mind Yao Rao, the people by his side all didn’t detect that his mood was teetering on the edge. Just, for the people by his side, whether due to experience or intuition, all felt something amiss, so all had their tails tucked between their legs, carefully burying their head in work.

Only Yao Rao was over there vigorously courting death.

Never mind the verbal teasing, despite being tied up, her body’s movements weren’t few either. On the contrary, because she was tied up, some areas were increasingly distinct, appearing exceptionally enticing.

However, despite Yao Rao enthusiastically singing her one-man show, for the men present, never mind the main target, the others similarly didn’t bat an eye. As time passed, wasn’t it precisely awkward.

Yao Rao was incredibly vexed, even suspecting whether or not these men were all dysfunctional. Of course, she still faintly began fearing inside. The more it was like this, the more it meant that her chance of survival was small. She didn’t want to die, not just because of her unparalleled ambitions, but also because she still hasn’t taken revenge yet.

TN: All

Because of the series of unforeseen changes, further being clear who the mastermind was, Yao Rao naturally won’t continue having Li Hong Yuan treated as a ‘flower vase’. This man deceived everyone, and in reality, this kind of man further made Yao Rao want to conquer. As such, even if knowing she might not have a good ending, she still can’t help but feel excited.

“………All say Jin Qinwang spend his days among flowers, could it be all a lie?” Yao Rao’s gaze meaningfully landed on a certain area on Li Hong Yuan’s body, licking her lips, her eyes like carrying hooks.

Li Hong Yuan originally was just quietly sitting there with his legs crossed, his hands naturally placed on his leg, but he suddenly changed his sitting posture, his body slightly leaning forward. Lifting his hand, his fingertips slid across the edge of his brows, “Go, have that face taken down. This prince wants to see whether or not there’s another mask below.” Yao Rao’s true appearance, Li Hong Yuan naturally has seen before. Even if the memory was distant, when meeting once again, one will ultimately have some impression.

Someone by Li Hong Yuan’s side responded, calmly going forward. Extending his hand, he drew a circle along the edge of Yao Rao’s entire face. His finger was a bit cold, making Yao Rao shiver for no reason, shrinking back, “Jin Qinwang, it’s not like you’ve never seen this humble one before in the past. Whether or not this face is real, would you not know? You should also believe the people by your side, no?

And the person in front of her took out a small dagger, suddenly smiling, “Whether or not there’s more underneath, one will just know after taking down this face.” As a shadow guard, not often smiling, even a fake deadpan can become a real deadpan. To suddenly smile, it was just exceptionally terrifying. However, what really made Yao Rao fear was still the contents of his words.

As a woman that viewed her face as the most important lethal weapon, Yao Rao has always maintained her beauty. Don’t look at how she can not care about whether those skin masks were ordinary, or even ugly, those were just necessary when needing to cover up her identity. That’s why, in a certain sense, her actual face truly was more important than her life. Looking at the current situation, it was wanting to have her face peeled down?

Where was Yao Rao still in the mood to seduce, “Don’t, don’t, let go of me.” She violently struggled. However, because she was tied up, the so called struggle was nothing more than just shaking her head, wanting to get away from that hand.

Yao Rao rather got what she wanted, getting let go of, just in the next moment, the icy cold blade landed on her face. This time, Yao Rao didn’t dare to move again, her eyes vigorously looking downward, staring at that blade that appeared incomparably sharp. She was afraid that if she were to move, her beautiful face will just get cut. Shortly after, she coldly glared at the person in front, just like wanting to devour him.

However, this bit of threat coming from just the eyes, what use can there be?

In an instant, Yao Rao’s cheek got cut. It wasn’t deep, probably just scratching the skin, slowly forming into a bloody line, slightly stinging. In fact, it even made Yao Rao blank for a moment, and immediately after, she just mournfully screamed.

Getting caught off guard, the closer one was, naturally the stronger the ‘attack’ one suffered. The deadpan guard standing in front of her, for a moment, his expression cracked, enduring the urge to rub his ears.

Before he could even make any further moves, Yao Rao just began cursing, “Bastard thing, you actually dare to injure my face, you actually dare—-!!”

The shadow guard expressionlessly flicked the blade twice, using his actions to tell her, there was nothing he didn’t dare to do.

Yao Rao seemingly was about to breakdown, loudly screaming, completely abandoning her usual image.

And when seeing that it was useless, she just changed targets, “Li Hong Yuan, are you a man? You’re actually able to do something like cutting someone’s face. Even women of the back manor would rarely be like you.”

The air seemingly all congealed. The people under Li Hong Yuan looked to Yao Rao, carrying a bit of ‘admiration’. It really was their first time seeing such a ‘brave’ person. However, their master wasn’t someone that can be provoked easily. Whether or not your words have an effect, often times, was actually based on his mood.
