I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2292
Chapter 2292: Chapter 2291: The True Face Behind the Painted Skin, the Ordinary Wooden Horse
Feeling Xu Zimei’s gaze, Moon-picking Fairy was under immense pressure.
She couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
Originally, she wanted to reveal her backing, that Dugu Yun was the Great Elder of Blood River Valley.
But at the thought of it, the opponent didn’t even care for the Black Soul Mage and killed him just the same.
What could Dugu Yun possibly mean to him?
Suddenly, her gaze fell on Liu Ruyan.
She hurriedly shouted, “Ruyan, you must save the Ancestor, the Ancestor did not offend him, it’s just… just worried about you being deceived.”
Seeing that Moon-picking Fairy was completely panicked, Liu Ruyan didn’t know what to say either.
To her, she didn’t want Xu Zimei to be hurt.
So she had just asked Moon-picking Ancestor to protect Xu Zimei.
But now with roles reversed, she naturally didn’t want her own Ancestor to be harmed either.
She could only look to Xu Zimei for help.
After all, she wasn’t really familiar with Xu Zimei, and there were many things she couldn’t be too presumptuous about.
Upon seeing Liu Ruyan’s gaze, Xu Zimei just let out a cold laugh.
“I’m afraid you’re asking the wrong person.”
“Firstly, once I decide to kill someone, nothing can change my mind, no matter what or who it is.”
Speaking up to here, Xu Zimei looked towards Liu Ruyan again.
Said, “You should thank me, if I hadn’t just reminded you.”
“I’m afraid you would have left with her, then your life would be in grave danger, so there’s no need to plead for her now.”
“Could you explain more clearly,” Liu Ruyan looked at Xu Zimei.
She seemed to not understand why he spoke that way about Moon-picking Ancestor.
Xu Zimei squinted his eyes slightly.
He reached out his large hand towards Moon-picking Fairy.
Seeing her pleas fail, Moon-picking Fairy quickly shouted to the nearby Blood River Guards, “Are you all dead? Hurry up and protect me.”
“If something happens to me, Elder Dugu will definitely not spare you.”
Although those Blood River Guards were unwilling to clash with Xu Zimei,
After all, the Black Soul Mage’s death was still vivid in their minds.
Not to mention, they couldn’t disobey Dugu Yun’s orders.
Now they all charged towards Xu Zimei.
Seeing that she had bought some time, Moon-picking Fairy wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
But Xu Zimei merely let out a cold laugh.
“Run, do you think that’s possible?”
Speaking to this point, Xu Zimei extended his five fingers towards the Firmament, like five celestial pillars.
Transforming into a cage descending from the sky, attempting to imprison Moon-picking Fairy.
The surrounding Blood River Guards, though fearlessly, were all of no avail.
Because when the cage fell, those who obstructed it were like ants.
How could a grain of rice compete for brilliance with the bright moon.
The metaphor of stopping a chariot with a mantis arm applies here.
……
Watching as the Blood River Guards turned into blood mist one by one.
Moon-picking Fairy’s heart grew even more tense.
Her fleeing strength increased a few notches, but she seemed to be trapped in a strange cycle.
No matter how she ran, time and space around her flowed, but ultimately she stepped in place, motionless.
“How could this be, how could this be.”
Shouted Moon-picking Fairy urgently.
“I haven’t attacked you, why doom me?”
But Xu Zimei couldn’t be bothered to speak to her anymore, responding to Moon-picking Fairy with only the great force from his large hand.
However, this large hand did not directly obliterate her.
Instead, it grabbed her head, fixing her in place while a finger flicked her face.
Her originally beautiful face peeled off layer by layer like shedding skin.
Until finally, the face that emerged on Moon-picking Fairy was horrific and ugly.
The surrounding spectators, upon seeing this scene, began to feel nauseated.
“What’s going on?”
“How did Moon-picking Fairy turn out like this?”
Perplexed, even Liu Ruyan looked at Xu Zimei in confusion.
“Because this is her true face.”
Xu Zimei said calmly.
Initially, Moon-picking Fairy did not realize it, but when everyone started discussing her appearance,
Her expression changed dramatically.
She covered her face with both hands.
Shouted, “Don’t look, none of you are allowed to look.”
“Whoever dares to look, I’ll kill them.”
“Killing a beautiful woman, then using a special secret technique to graft someone else’s appearance onto their own face.
This method should be skin painting, right,” Xu Zimei spoke calmly.
Just some petty trick.
But Moon-picking Fairy’s petty trick was quite exquisite, it’s hard for ordinary people to notice.
However, no matter what, she couldn’t fool Xu Zimei.
Moon-picking Fairy was originally an ugly person. Back then, she faced discrimination in the Radiant Moon Sect, so she came to Demon City.
By chance, she obtained this method of skin painting.
It’s just like plastic surgery.
After that, Moon-picking Fairy fell in love with this thing and couldn’t stop.
She used her painted face to entice men for benefits.
Even if she slipped up, it didn’t matter.
Because her painted skin could be changed at any time without fear of being discovered.
This time, when Liu Ruyan arrived, Moon-picking Fairy had her eye on Liu Ruyan’s skin.
Otherwise, someone who left the Radiant Moon Sect in disgrace yet thrived in Demon City.
Why would she care about these juniors?
Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Liu Ruyan broke out in a cold sweat.
The treachery of human nature.
Originally, she hadn’t felt it within the Radiant Moon Sect, but after coming to Demon City, she deeply understood what it meant.
Truly, there’s not a single good person.
Whether it be former elders or others.
Only Xu Zimei was extraordinary.
Not that she thought Xu Zimei was good.
It was a woman’s intuition.
Xu Zimei couldn’t be bothered to deceive her.
Although he hadn’t said it outright, that aloof attitude when speaking to her was as if she was too insignificant even to be worth deceiving.
Because of this, Liu Ruyan trusted Xu Zimei even more.
And inside the arena, Moon-picking Fairy, because her true appearance was exposed, seemed to have fallen into a Heart Demon state.
Screaming and shouting, utterly frantic.
“It’s truly unsightly,” Xu Zimei swung his hand down, completely crushing her within.
Somewhat noisy indeed.
Then Xu Zimei turned his gaze to the other people around.
With just a glance.
Everyone retreated three feet, terrified.
Afraid Xu Zimei might casually wipe them out as well.
Then Xu Zimei took out four light clusters in his hand; these so-called light clusters were the treasures of Treasure Cliff.
The four light clusters were respectively a Treasure Umbrella, a Treasure Blade, a Treasure Pill, and a wooden horse.
The other three treasures emitted a faint glow, but only this wooden horse seemed unremarkable.
Like a toy to entertain children.
Xu Zimei then looked toward the tiger-headed youth from before.
“How goes your search for the Cultivation Method?”
The tiger-headed youth had been in a state of shock but now finally came to his senses.
