"Re... really, you just want to help you disguise yourself and go back, right? You... you mustn't go back on your word..."
Lower deck, level two—the bar's darkroom.
Before the dressing table, Shen Taoyuan wiped her tears, biting her lips, her expression showing a hint of fear, clearly still afraid of Ye Huan.
"Hurry up, if you don't move faster, the ship will dock soon." Ye Huan sat on the chair in front of the dressing table, his face dark as he urged.
"You... you first promise that after I help you disguise yourself, you will spare and... and forgive for the mistakes I made before." Shen Taoyuan said timidly, looking pitifully forlorn.
Unlike before, this ti she wasn't acting deliberately; she was truly scared, and her expression was a genuine reaction.
At the mont she uncovered Ye Huan's disguise, she was terrified.
Later, when Ye Huan slapped her face with a knife, she felt fear for the first ti, the shadow of death looming over her heart. She was frightened into tears, her spirit lost.
"Spare you? Perhaps, but first, it depends on how well you do with the disguise." Ye Huan said calmly.
"That... then don't worry, I'm a professional!"
Shen Taoyuan showed a hint of joy and began prepping for the disguise.
Xiao Yuan assisted by her side.
Both of their features were top-notch.
Their busy profiles were quite eye-catching, quite alluring.
After appreciating for a mont, Ye Huan felt a sense of relief.
Even though the disguise had been uncovered, and his strength and identity exposed.
There was still a chance for redemption.
As long as he could return to looking like Ye Hu'an before disembarking, he could smoothly infiltrate Japan as per the original plan.
Even if Orochi and the Sequence realized and learned about Sid's demise on the Diamond Queen, it would be too late.
Half an hour later.
"Is... is this alright now..."
Shen Taoyuan set down the eyebrow pencil and tentatively asked.
Ye Huan looked at himself in the mirror, feeling quite satisfied.
At this mont, he had completely reverted to the appearance of Ye Hu'an.
The level of disguise was extrely high; unless it was so who specialized in unorthodox arts, or those at or above the level of a Half-step Divine King, no one else would be able to discern that this was a result of a disguise.
Satisfied as he was, Ye Huan found himself extrely interested in another matter.
Shen Taoyuan's disguising technique involved using special materials to create a realistic human skin, then modifying the skin color with special chemicals, applying it tightly over the body, and then sculpting and adjusting the muscles and facial features.
This thod was highly intricate, identical to the steps Aunt Cuixia used when disguising him back then, with no difference at all.
The materials and chemicals used seed to be of the sa type.
"The effect is good, let ask you a question. Do you know a woman nad Cuixia?" Ye Huan asked with great interest.
Shen Taoyuan first showed joy, then paused, nodding: "I know one, my father's aunt is nad Shen Cuixia, why do you ask..."
As she spoke, sothing seed to occur to her, her beautiful eyes widening slightly: "Could it be that it was my family's ancestor who disguised you as 'Ye Hu'an'?!"
Ye Huan felt a faint embarrassnt, nodding.
He really hadn't expected to run into a descendant of Aunt Cuixia's family, what a coincidence!
"So that's how it is!"
Shen Taoyuan let out a deep breath, patting her chest, her face relaxed as she spoke with a cheerful smile: "Since that's the case, we're practically acquaintances now. I assu you would forgive for my past actions on the account of my family's ancestor, Cuixia, right?"
"An hour before docking, call a eting on the entire ship in my na, gather all the rchants on the deck, and have them keep their mouths shut. No matter who interrogates, they must not reveal the fact that 'Ye Hu'an is actually Ye Huan'."
Despite Shen Taoyuan's relationship with Cuixia, Ye Huan wouldn't let this dispel his displeasure with her, nor would he try to cozy up to her.
Leaving this remark with a blank expression, he left the bar's darkroom.
...
"You didn't go to Japan just for so-called travel, and saving , bringing with you, wasn't simply to help , right?"
"That's right."
Returning to cabin 3, suite 20.
Faced with Jiang Shishuang's faintly cold questioning, Ye Huan didn't hide anything, he sighed.
One very important reason he had brought Jiang Shishuang along was for cover.
Currently, the Sequence and Orochi had certainly focused their surveillance on the major airports, but they would also symbolically send people to monitor the docks. With Jiang Shishuang around, those monitoring the docks wouldn't focus too much on him.
After all, the Sequence and Orochi wouldn't think he would take on such a life-threatening mission to infiltrate Japan while dragging a burden along unless he had a death wish.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of imperceptible coldness appeared deep in Jiang Shishuang's eyes, her pink fists clenched tightly, her expression grim enough to drip water.
Realizing that the person she had spent fifteen days with, who had provided her ticulous care, who fulfilled her requests and grilled fish for her, was actually the top-priority enemy of the Sequence—the God of Slaughter, Ye Huan—her heart was instantly flooded with various negative emotions.
At the sa ti, she found her previous concerns for "Ye Hu'an" laughable.
Not hoping for the enemy's death was one thing, but being worried about the enemy potentially facing danger was downright absurd.
Furthermore, was it even necessary to worry?
With Ye Huan's terrifying strength and wisdom, how could a re Sid possibly kill him?
Sid was indeed a Talent Slayer that struck fear into the hearts of geniuses across the Dark World, but among the geniuses he could kill, Ye Huan was definitely not included!
Otherwise, if an Orange Tier Sequence could have killed him, what qualifications would he have to beco the Sequence's top-priority enemy?
Jiang Shishuang felt ridiculous about herself, yet at the sa ti, her heart was in turmoil.
Due to certain reasons, she had lacked affection since childhood.
One could say, the fifteen days on the Diamond Queen being taken care of by "Ye Hu'an" were the most comfortable and peaceful days she'd ever spent, and she couldn't help but develop a slight, unusual feeling for "Ye Hu'an".
Now, knowing "Ye Hu'an" was the very Ye Huan she intended to eliminate, that slight, unusual feeling turned her extrely restless.
At this mont, Ye Huan added, "However, when I helped heal and take care of you, I had no ulterior motives; you don't need to doubt that."
Jiang Shishuang did not respond, her pink fists clenching tighter, an unnad fire roiling within her chest.
If Ye Hu'an were actually Ye Hu'an, she might choose to suppress that slight unusual feeling deep inside and afterward interact with Ye Hu'an in a big sister-little brother fashion.
But Ye Hu'an was Ye Huan!
The Sequence's top enemy, the one to be eliminated!
Incorporating him into the Sequence was absolutely impossible!
This slight, unusual feeling must be personally nipped in the bud!
Otherwise, if this emotion were allowed to take root and sprout, many things would beco irreparable!
Thinking this, a piercing chill flickered in the depths of Jiang Shishuang's beautiful eyes!
