Yun ngyao said, "Our portraits are probably posted at the city gates. I'm just afraid we'll be discovered before we even make it through."
"Exactly, we need to make so preparations." Qin Yi looked at her fair, beautiful little face and couldn't help but crack a mischievous smile.
Yun ngyao imdiately beca wary, "What are you planning to do?"
"To get through Fire King City without alerting anyone, we obviously need to disguise ourselves. But your face is too pretty. Even just walking down the street would get you stared at and easily exposed."
Yun ngyao beca even more cautious because in Qin Yi's mind, besides Xia Yanbing being a Fairy, everyone else was ugly. Qin Yi never praised her as beautiful before, so this sudden complint was surely suspicious.
"Your own looks are too noticeable too; you should disguise yourself first."
Qin Yi smiled lightly. The muscles on his face slowly writhed, and his bones creaked, instantly transforming him into a young man with yellowish skin and an unremarkable appearance.
Yun ngyao was not surprised because she knew Qin Yi had the skill of altering his appearance.
But Yun Susu and Jin Die were completely shocked. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed the person standing in front of them was Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's tricks were truly astonishing.
"I'm done. It's your turn now."
Yun ngyao said, "But we don't have anything to disguise ourselves with. How are we supposed to do it?"
Qin Yi reached down and rubbed so dirt from the ground, grinning mischievously, "As long as you cover your beauty, no one should notice."
Yun ngyao took a few steps back, glaring at Qin Yi, "Don't even think about touching my face. I'd rather die than let you ruin it."
"Then you'll just have to wait to be caught and surrounded by the Fire King's n."
Qin Yi said as he turned to Yun Susu and Jin Die, "You two need to disguise yourselves too."
Yun Susu and Jin Die were full of reluctance. After all, being won, they cared deeply about their appearance.
"I'll go first." Yun Susu braced herself as if heading into battle.
Qin Yi didn't move but instead joked, "Third Princess, there's no rule in the Yunyue Empire that touching ans marriage, right?"
Yun Susu was montarily stunned, suddenly realizing what he ant, and couldn't help but feel a bit angry. Was Qin Yi afraid of touching her and having to take responsibility? She had always been confident in her looks, and it was the first ti soone seed to disdain her.
"Don't worry, we're all people of the world. Touching my face doesn't an you have to take responsibility."
Qin Yi was a bit embarrassed and explained, "I just had to ask. I'm a married man. If there's really such a rule, it wouldn't be good to wrong the Third Princess by making her a concubine."
Yun Susu: "..."
This guy was overthinking it a bit too much.
Jin Die was full of indignation; this guy was too much.
Yun ngyao couldn't help but sneer, "When's the last ti you saw yourself in a mirror? And you think the Third Princess would want to be your concubine, dream on."
"I never thought that. It's best if that's not the case." Saying this, Qin Yi unceremoniously rubbed the Third Princess's beautiful face with dirt, turning the exquisite face gray and dull in an instant.
One must say, Yun Susu's skin was truly good: fair, delicate, like creamy porcelain.
But Qin Yi didn't know how to cherish beauty at all, acting like a mischievous child playing with clay, or kneading dough.
Yun ngyao stepped up, dissatisfied, and pulled Qin Yi away, "Can't you be gentler? Truly don't appreciate beauty." Then she looked at Yun Susu, "I must admit, with dirt on your face, you do look a bit less dazzling."
Yun Susu felt a bit awkward, glancing at Qin Yi, feeling he did it on purpose.
Qin Yi grabbed another handful of dirt and looked at Yun ngyao, "Your turn."
Yun ngyao glared at him, "You dare, if you dirty my face, I'll fight you. Jin Die, you help , and I'll help you afterward."
Jin Die nodded, and the two of them sared dirt on each other's faces.
Qin Yi struggled to suppress his laughter, his mouth twitching.
Suddenly, Yun ngyao noticed soone tugging her clothes and looked over. Qin Yi was wiping his hands on her skirt.
"Qin Yi, do you want to die?" Yun ngyao exploded. Having dirt sared on her face was already her limit, this guy dared to wipe his hands on her skirt.
Qin Yi quickly jumped back, explaining, "If we're putting on a show, it has to be complete. Faces covered in dirt, but wearing clean clothes, doesn't quite match, does it?"
Yun ngyao thought for a mont, admitting Qin Yi made sense, "But you don't have to do it. I can do it myself."
The three won helped each other, transforming from fairies to dirt-faced village won.
Qin Yi laughed heartily, seeing the goddesses turn into tomboys, his twisted sense of humor greatly satisfied.
"What's so funny?" Yun ngyao snapped angrily.
Qin Yi held in his laughter, "Alright, I'm not laughing anymore, let's go."
Yun ngyao: "..."
"You're the fool here."
The four of them walked towards the city gate; the guards really didn't notice, allowing them to enter the city smoothly.
"Turned out we did fool those fools, quite the sacrifice I've made. Hey, where are you going?" Yun ngyao said, seeing Qin Yi heading toward a restaurant.
Qin Yi paused and said, "Of course, to grab a bite. I've only had a few wild berries today, gotta fill my stomach first."
"Are you insane? This is Fire King City, our warrants are everywhere, and you're boldly going to eat, not afraid of being found out?"
Qin Yi smirked, "On this vast earth, eating is the most important thing. If you don't want to eat, you can wait here. As for , I need to fill my belly."
Saying this, he walked into the restaurant without looking back.
Yun ngyao stomped her foot in frustration, "This guy is just unreliable."
"Then let's wait here for Young Master Qin," Yun Susu suggested.
"Wait for what? Why should he have all the good food while we wait outside? Let's go, we're eating too, and we're going to eat him broke."
Without giving them a chance to decline, Yun ngyao dragged the two inside.
"Weren't you guys not eating?" Qin Yi teased as the three of them sat down.
"Why wouldn't we eat? It's not like we're paying, might as well eat."
"Eating for free and being so righteous about it." Qin Yi sneered.
"You're the fool here."
Qin Yi: "..."
"Boy, bring us your best dishes, and heat up a pot of wine for us."
Yun ngyao was startled, "Keep a low profile, can't you? Don't forget we're wanted, you're shouting so loud, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Qin Yi's expression beca serious, "I'll tell you a secret."
Yun ngyao saw Qin Yi's serious face and couldn't help but beco curious, "What secret?"
"I'm telling you, no matter how much we disguise ourselves, the Fire King's n will find us. I bet you they'll be here before we finish this al."
Yun ngyao was dumbfounded right there, staring blankly at Qin Yi.
