Chapter 295 She Knows Extraordinary Abilities
Lin Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, a look of surprise on his face: "The desolate land? My benefactor, you're going there? That's the northernmost edge of the Holy Heaven Continent. I've heard the environment is extremely harsh, barren, and sparsely populated. It's a place that's completely unsuitable for human habitation. What are you going there for? Are you looking for someone? Or..."
Gu Ye said, "Settle down."
Lin Feng's eyes widened, thinking he had misheard: "Settle down? My benefactor, are you kidding me? No one can live there. It's barren, and I've heard there are all sorts of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. Settling down there is just asking for trouble."
He paused for a moment and then said, “My benefactor, do you have nowhere to go? If not, you can come home with me, and I will arrange accommodation for you.”
Gu Ye declined, saying, "Brother Lin, I appreciate your kindness, but we prefer to live in the wilderness where no one lives and it's peaceful."
Lin Feng: "..."
Where did this strange person come from? Seeing that he was determined to go to the Wilderness, Lin Feng didn't try to persuade him anymore, but simply said, "To get to the Wilderness, you have to pass through Sky Curtain City. Do you want to go into the city?"
Gu Ye nodded: "Yes, we plan to go into the city."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng said with a worried expression, "My benefactor, I'm not exaggerating, but with your appearance and demeanor, you'll most likely be spotted as soon as you enter the city. That woman's spies are everywhere in Tianmu City. You'd better consider going around the city, or at least disguise yourself."
Gu Ye didn't care when he heard this and said, "It's okay, I'll go and meet that Third Miss. I want to see how awesome she is." He joked, "If all else fails, I'll just marry into her family."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's expression became subtle. He had countless words he wanted to say, but only two words came out: "I admire you."
Gu Ye looked at the two guys writhing on the ground in pain: "You deal with these two guys as you see fit. We're heading into the city."
As he spoke, he gestured for Xu Ji and Yun Chengying to leave.
Seeing the two burly men convulsing in pain on the ground, Lin Feng hurriedly chased after Gu Ye, saying, "Benefactor, please wait a moment."
Gu Ye stopped and turned to look at him.
Lin Feng earnestly said, "Benefactor, can you take me with you? I was originally going to go north through Tianmu City anyway, and this is the shortest route. I really don't want to take that long detour that takes more than half a month."
He felt that his benefactor and his entourage looked extraordinary and must be very capable people. He inexplicably felt that he would be safe if he followed his benefactor and his entourage into the city.
Moreover, all his guards were killed by that vicious woman, and now he has no one to protect him.
Gu Ye raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "You still dare to enter the city? Aren't you afraid of being targeted by that Third Miss, the She-Devil?"
Lin Feng said, "With my benefactor here, I have nothing to fear."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ye frowned and said, "Are you treating me like a bodyguard? I can..."
Before he could even utter the words "I won't do it," Lin Feng said, "My benefactor, if you can safely deliver me to my destination in Anzhou City, I will give you 100,000 taels of silver as a reward."
Upon hearing the words "ten thousand taels," Gu Ye's eyes lit up instantly. Not wanting the deal to vanish immediately, he smiled and agreed, "Deal."
He chuckled and put his arm around Lin Feng's shoulder, acting like they were best buddies: "Brother Lin, don't worry, with us here, we'll make sure you're safe and sound. So what if she's some kind of third young lady? If she dares to try and steal you again, I'll beat her to a pulp."
Lin Feng felt reassured by his words and nodded with a smile, saying, "Then thank you very much, benefactor."
"It's nothing, don't be shy." Gu Ye waved his hand with a smile and asked him, "Brother Lin, is your family very wealthy?"
Lin Feng humbly replied, "It's alright. We have some family wealth. Our Lin family has been in business for generations, and we've done quite well. We have some businesses and shops in various countries across the Holy Heaven Continent."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ye exclaimed "Wow!" and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "Wow, Brother Lin, your family is so rich."
Lin Feng said, "My benefactor, I have many estates with good environments that I can give to you to live in. You should not go to this desolate place..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ye quickly interrupted him, "Stop, stop, Brother Lin, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not interested in your estate. We're definitely going to the wilderness."
Lin Feng opened his mouth, but seeing Gu Ye's determined face, he swallowed back all his words of persuasion.
That's it, he can't persuade him anymore, he'll stop trying.
He smiled helplessly and stopped trying to persuade him: "Since my benefactor has made up his mind, I won't say any more."
"But if you encounter any difficulties in the wilderness in the future, or if you change your mind, you can always come to me."
Gu Ye grinned and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, that's a good friend. I'll definitely not be polite if I need anything."
Gu Ye led Lin Feng into the carriage where Yun Qingqing was and said to her, "Little Qingqing, this person is traveling with us."
Let's escort him for a while; once we reach his destination, he'll give us 100,000 taels of silver.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingqing looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and subconsciously said, "Miss, I will behave myself and won't cause you any trouble."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingqing withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Then come with us. However, I don't like dishonest people. If they're dishonest..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Chengying chimed in, "If you're not honest, we'll each stab you."
Lin Feng shrank back in fright and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, young lady, young master, I'm a good person, I'll be honest and won't cause you any trouble."
Remembering something, he quickly added, "Young master, you are all too good-looking. If you enter the city like this, you might attract the attention of the third young lady of Tianmu City."
Yun Chengxi asked curiously, "Why is she targeting us?"
Lin Feng said, "Young master, you may not know this, but the third young lady of Tianmu City has a fondness for handsome men. Whenever there is a young man in the city with outstanding looks, her subordinates will always capture him and send him to her."
"It was because of this face that she took a liking to me. My men risked their lives to let me escape, but I never expected that her people would still catch up with me. If it weren't for my benefactor saving me, I'd probably be back in the city by now."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chenghao frowned deeply: "Is there no one in Tianmu City to control this woman? Is she allowed to forcibly abduct men and act so recklessly?"
Lin Feng said, "No one can control her. The city lord of Tianmu City dotes on her and indulges her every whim. He gives her whatever she wants."
Moreover, I've heard that this third young lady is extremely powerful, possessing extraordinary abilities, and that no one can defeat her, making her even more uncontrollable.
"Special arts? What kind of special arts does she know?" Yun Chengying asked curiously.
Lin Feng said, "She can conjure fire out of thin air, use fire to attack people, and even turn people into ice sculptures."
Xu Ji, Yun Qingqing, and Gu Ye's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.
Yun Chengying exclaimed in surprise, "That woman is that powerful?"
“Yes.” Lin Feng nodded, his brows furrowed. “I saw it with my own eyes once. When she was chasing a young swordsman who refused to submit, she simply raised her hand and conjured fire out of thin air, which went straight to the man and burned him to death.”
He said with a stern face, "It is because she possesses such a terrifying supernatural ability that no one in Sky Curtain City dares to oppose her."
After he finished speaking, he said, "Young master, we can't enter Tianmu City looking like this. We need to disguise ourselves, otherwise we'll be targeted by that woman's lackeys as soon as we enter the city, and that will be troublesome." He sighed and said, "But those lackeys of that woman are very sharp-eyed, and it's easy to be discovered even if we're disguised. If only we had some kind of pill that could disguise us."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ji took out a porcelain bottle from his spatial storage and said, "I have a disguise pill here. After taking it, your appearance will become ordinary. The effects will wear off in three days, and you will return to your original appearance. Who wants to take it?"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up as if he had seen a lifeline, and he hurriedly said earnestly, "Young master, would you mind selling me one of these disguise pills? The price is negotiable."
He was truly terrified. His face had already caught the eye of that third young lady, and if he went into the city without making any changes, it would be tantamount to walking into a trap.
This young master's disguise pill sounds much more reliable than a disguise.
Xu Ji glanced at him, poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle, and handed it to him.
Lin Feng was overjoyed. He accepted the pills with both hands and thanked him repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, young master."
He said with a somewhat troubled expression, "Young master, I don't have much money on me right now. Could you pay for the disguise pill after I get home safely?"
Xu Ji nodded and said, "Okay."
He wouldn't mind if the disguise pill was given to him for free, but since this kid's family is rich, let him give it to him if he wants; after all, he's so wealthy.
Lin Feng's face lit up with joy, and he swallowed the pill without hesitation.
After swallowing the pill, I felt a slight, almost imperceptible tingling sensation on my face, but it quickly disappeared.
He touched his face and couldn't feel much change yet, but he felt much more at ease.
He had already witnessed the power of this young master's pills on those two burly men.
When Yun Chengying saw that Lin Feng's appearance changed drastically after taking the pill, becoming completely ordinary and like a different person, his eyes lit up. He stared longingly at the porcelain bottle in Xu Ji's hand: "Brother Xu, can you give me a disguise pill too?"
"With my striking good looks, I'm sure that wicked woman will target me. I don't want to be targeted by her."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chenghao chuckled and said, "Little Ba, you really know how to flatter yourself."
Yun Chengying said in a serious tone, "Sixth Brother, I'm telling the truth. My appearance is indeed outstanding."
Yun Chenghao was speechless, choked by his self-righteous attitude. He looked closely at Yun Chengying's face. Xiao Ba's appearance was indeed outstanding. No, everyone in the Yun family was outstanding in appearance. There was no one ugly.
"Brother Xu, quickly give me the disguise pill." Yun Chengying urged Xu Ji, his eyes fixed on the porcelain bottle in his hand, wishing he could snatch it from him.
Xu Ji poured a pill for Yun Chengying.
Yun Chengying took the pill, quickly swallowed it, and then began to touch his face, asking Yun Chengxi beside him, "How is it? Have you changed? What do you look like now?"
Yun Chengxi said, "Nothing has changed. How could it be so fast?"
Seeing this, Yun Qingqing took out a palm-sized mirror from her spatial storage and handed it to Yun Chengying: "Eighth Brother, here's a mirror for you, look for yourself."
Yun Chengying quickly took the mirror and looked at her face from left to right.
At first, nothing was noticeable, but gradually, the face in the mirror began to undergo subtle changes.
The once clear and distinct facial features have become soft and blurred, and the straight nose has become a flat nose.
Her once bright eyes now appeared smaller, and her skin had lost its luster.
The whole face, taken together, while not exactly ugly, certainly becomes very ordinary, the kind that you wouldn't notice if you threw it into a crowd.
Yun Chengying looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, I don't look like myself anymore."
Lin Feng was also curious about his current appearance and couldn't help but ask Yun Chengying, "Young Master, may I borrow this mirror to take a look?"
Yun Chengying was carefully examining her unremarkable appearance in the mirror when she heard this, and generously handed over the mirror: "Here, take it. Be careful not to drop it, it belongs to Abao."
Lin Feng quickly accepted the gift with both hands and replied, "Don't worry, young master, I will be careful."
With a mix of trepidation and anticipation, he held the mirror up to his face.
The mirror reflected a completely unfamiliar face, with a sallow and dull complexion, sparse eyebrows, eyes that were neither big nor small, and an ordinary nose and mouth. Together, they were unremarkable and even carried a sense of weariness from years of hard work.
Is this really me? Lin Feng could hardly believe it. He tried to make an expression, and the person in the mirror also showed a somewhat stiff and strange smile.
If it weren't for those clothes and familiar eyes, he would never have recognized himself.
"How is it? Can you still recognize me?" Gu Ye asked with a smile.
Lin Feng put down the mirror, a relieved smile on his face: "I can't recognize you. Young Master Xu's disguise pill is truly amazing."
He carefully handed the mirror back to Yun Chengying and thanked Xu Ji again, saying, "Thank you for the disguise pill, young master."
Xu Ji waved his hand, "No need to thank me. This disguise pill costs money. Give me the money for the disguise pill when you have some money."
Lin Feng nodded quickly: "Okay."
He thought that such a miraculous elixir must be very expensive, but as long as it could ensure his safety, it would be worth it.
Yun Chenghao and Yun Chengxi also asked Xu Ji for the Disguise Pill. After taking the pill, their outstanding appearances immediately became ordinary.
