"Co with ?"
Qin Fang was montarily stunned, his eyebrows furrowing slightly; this was clearly not the answer he had hoped for. However, seeing the perplexed and helpless girl before him, he couldn't help but feel a touch of softness.
"I am not from these mountains; I co from beyond them. Do you still want to go out with ?"
Nevertheless, Qin Fang revealed a bit more of his intentions and asked this, leaving the decision to the girl. He would not force her.
"Yes, I just need to be with you... I... I can be your maid, your female slave... anything you want, as long as you don't abandon !"
The girl showed no hesitation, her utterance firm. She even seed willing to agree to anything just to stay with Qin Fang.
She could no longer return to her forr ho, and the mountains could no longer shelter her. Following Qin Fang seed like her only choice, and if it ant going outside the mountains, it didn't seem too undesirable.
"This..."
Taking the girl out of the mountains was not a big issue, but having a sixteen-year-old girl constantly by his side was clearly inappropriate.
"How about this: I'll take you out of the mountains, help you get settled in, and once you adapt to the outside world, you can decide your own future..."
Qin Fang thought briefly and said so.
The girl was very young, only sixteen years old, barely a high school student outside. Securing a place for such a girl was not a difficult task.
Moreover, Qin Fang rembered Tang Xin, who had accompanied him out of the mountains. She might feel lonely outside, needing ti to adapt. Wen Yan couldn't always stay with her, so having this girl might be a good idea...
"Hmm, I will listen to you!"
The girl nodded her head, her tone very submissive, making her seem truly like a docile little maid, which Qin Fang found quite unsettling.
However, with this decision made, the problem seed to be resolved.
"Then let's go. Tonight we will return to your village to stay overnight. Your face should not be shown as it is now. I'll make so changes..."
The girl had been marked for sacrifice to a supre deity, and her appearance in the village would undoubtedly cause disapproval.
Although Qin Fang was not afraid of any trouble from the villagers, he also did not want to shatter their dreams. He prepared to make so changes to the girl, at least so that the familiar faces in the tribe would not recognize her...
Face-Changing Technique, sothing Qin Fang had not learned, but there were other ways to alter one's appearance, such as the incredibly advanced makeup techniques from beyond the mountains, which could turn an ugly woman beautiful or a man into a woman... In short, these makeup techniques could achieve many wondrous transformations.
Although Qin Fang did not have any makeup products on hand, he could manage simple changes, like turning the girl's long, black hair into a neat bob in no ti. He rummaged through the Props Box and found a set of alluring clothes that the girl could wear; the rustic mountain girl was transford into a sharp, urban beauty.
"Tsk, tsk, not bad, not bad..."
When Qin Fang had completed everything, even he was a bit impressed with his handiwork. The girl before him, he couldn't believe she was the sa unrefined mountain girl from before. Probably even her own parents would not recognize her—they would at most find her vaguely familiar.
"After we go back, you just keep quiet, and you can't speak the local mountain dialect anymore. Once we leave these mountains, I'll find soone to teach you Mandarin..."
After dressing up the girl, Qin Fang specifically instructed her again before leaving the tribe with the girl. Before leaving, he also took away the body of High Priest Darren…
Although the journey here was quick, he had to keep an eye on High Priest Darren and rember the route, which caused so delay. But now on the return trip, with the Miao Jiang girl nad Yingzi leading the way, their pace was significantly faster, taking less than half an hour to return to the tribe.
The girl's na was long, a common trait among the mountain people, but usually they had a simpler nickna, and this girl's nickna was Yingzi. Although Qin Fang wasn't completely sure, that seed to be what her na was based on the pronunciation.
"Qin Fang…"
Just as he reached the entrance of the tribe, he saw Wen Yan and Tang Xin waiting there. Upon seeing Qin Fang return, Wen Yan imdiately rushed over, carefully checking Qin Fang's body, worried that there might be sothing wrong with him.
"This is—"
After confirming that Qin Fang was alright, she then noticed Yingzi, who was following behind Qin Fang and looking very timid, and she looked inquiringly at Qin Fang.
Yingzi's current appearance did not resemble a girl from the mountains at all, but rather like soone who had returned from a major city, which left Wen Yan quite puzzled.
Not just her, Tang Xin felt the sa. Although she found Yingzi quite familiar, it was hard for her to connect her with the girl who had been sacrificed; they seed like people from two different worlds…
"She is the girl who was sacrificed! Here's what happened…"
Qin Fang didn't hide anything. It was impossible not to let Wen Yan and Tang Xin know that Yingzi had suddenly co back with him.
Moreover, to resolve this matter smoothly, he needed Wen Yan's help, so he told her everything he saw in the tribe, including how he had killed all those people without hiding anything…
"Well done killing them! These people are worse than beasts…"
After hearing all this, Wen Yan appeared even angrier than Qin Fang, possibly because as a woman she could empathize more. Having experienced such a tragedy, those people's actions were indeed utterly inhumane.
"Your na is Yingzi, right? I'm Wen Yan, you can call Yan Yan or Sister Yan… From now on, you'll be with , I won't let anyone bully you again!"
Wen Yan, being a clever girl, imdiately understood Qin Fang's intention and warmly took hold of Yingzi, cheerfully talking to her, helping to ease her inner timidity and unease.
Tang Xin still seed a bit like she was in a dream, finding it hard to believe that this urban beauty was previously the rustic mountain girl.
But after observing her for a while, she also confird this was the fact…
Looking at her own clothes, it was still the ancient palace attire from before. Initially, Wen Yan had lent her the clothes, but her conservative mindset made her quite uncomfortable with clothes that showed too much skin…
Now seeing Yingzi's transformation, however, she couldn't help feeling a bit tempted; and she had also heard from Qin Fang that if she went outside the mountains dressed in ancient attire, she would definitely be gawked at as if she were a monster.
Qin Fang naturally didn't know what Tang Xin was thinking at this mont, but he could finally breathe a little easier now.
Anyway, with things having reached this point, the dust had truly settled. Although this was originally none of Qin Fang's business, encountering injustice demanded action, let alone such vile deeds. Qin Fang couldn't ignore them if he hadn't seen them, but having seen them, he naturally couldn't ignore them.
Moreover, this intervention brought Qin Fang a very substantial reward—nearly three thousand Justice Points, a treasure, Qianji Ring that upgraded his Cheating Skills by 1, and various Experience Points… and an extra tagalong maid, Yingzi!
