"But if I had to talk about a wish, there indeed is one."
As he spoke, Shen Ye's tone suddenly took on a hint of curiosity.
"In your previous encounter with Hikamu, you took off your mask at the last mont. Hikamu saw your face, or rather your eyes, and froze, obviously very surprised."
"So, in this final mont, I also want to see the girl who survived the massacre, to see what kind of person could grow to this level in just one year and claim our lives."
"Of course... this is just a request. If you don't want to, you can ignore it."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Yun You fell silent.
She had privately sworn that when she completed all her revenge one day, she would definitely take off her mask and disguise, to walk in the sunlight without fearing or caring about others' gazes.
Is it ti to take off the mask now?
Yun You thought that perhaps it was still not the ti. Although her current strength was not weak, it was still insufficient to protect herself in front of all the ambitious people.
But on the other hand, at this mont, besides Shen Ye, who was as good as dead, no one else could see her appearance.
So, after a brief consideration, Yun You made her decision.
She took a deep breath, gently grasped her mask, but still did not fully uncover it, only moved it slightly downwards, revealing the upper half of her face and a pair of eyes.
"..."
Shen Ye was stunned, his eyes opened wide, wishing he could move closer to get a better look at that face.
In reality, before Yun You unveiled her mask, Shen Ye had many guesses about the girl's appearance.
But upon careful thought, a girl from the slums would surely breathe polluted air for years, drink water with excessive chemical content, and undergo complex physical labor.
Under such circumstances, no matter how good the foundation, she couldn't possibly look very appealing.
Yet Yun You's appearance far exceeded his imagination...
Shen Ye had seen beauties—on the contrary, as a Tier Four Apprentice Death God, he had seen countless beauties, both natural and those "enhanced" afterward.
Normally, so-called beauties were just pretty skeletons to him, and he shouldn't care.
But the issue was...
Yun You was completely different from those beauties.
Her appearance awakened Shen Ye's primordial awe for beauty embedded in his genes, like those things inherently pursued by human nature... desire... fa... food... no one could refuse this beauty, not even Shen Ye.
Shen Ye felt his breath almost stop. He never imagined that the girl who took his life, who survived that fateful massacre night, would have an undeniable face that no one could reject or deny.
All the unwillingness, hatred, animosity, and anger vanished without a trace upon seeing the girl's face.
Replaced by only appreciation and... regret at never seeing that face again.
And in the next mont...
Shen Ye finally noticed Yun You's red eyes.
"..."
His breathing stopped, and his expression instantly turned to one of shock, as if he had seen sothing unbelievable.
