Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 502 - Mask

Chapter 502: Mask

“What’s this?”

Lu Sheng received the box and asked suspiciously.

“It’s a mask.”

Chu Sihan knew what was inside before he opened it.

Ye Luo might be inferior in other aspects, but he was definitely top-notch in creating masks.

Lu Sheng opened the box curiously and realized that it was a thin human skin mask.

“This is human skin?” she asked hesitantly.

“How can that be?” Ye Luo laughed. “I find it disgusting to wear a human skin mask on my face. It’s made of a special material. It’s definitely not human skin.”

“Oh.”

Lu Sheng nodded and stared at the box. “How should I wear this? Should I stick it on my face?”

“Let me help you.”

Chu Sihan placed his mask on the table and let Lu Sheng face him. Then, he cupped the mask with both hands and pasted it on her face.

He pressed down on the edge of the mask and waited for it to be pasted before smiling. “It’s done.”

When Lu Sheng heard that, she hurriedly took out a small mirror to take a look. However, she realized that she had become another face.

She touched it lightly and exclaimed, “This is too realistic?”

Her face was not as exquisite and beautiful as before, but it was not ugly either. However, compared to her previous face, she looked like a pretty girl from a humble family.

“Disciple, come here. I’ll put it on for you.”

Ye Luo opened Chu Sihan’s box and took out the mask inside.

Chu Sihan did not object and obediently let him put it on for him.

“Alright.”

Ye Luo retracted his hand and reminded him satisfactorily.

Lu Sheng clicked her tongue and praised, “Still as handsome as ever.”

Chu Sihan’s mask made him look less handsome, but more elegant.

“Lend me the mirror.”

Chu Sihan reached out to her.

“Here.”

Lu Sheng pa.s.sed her mirror over.

When Chu Sihan saw the mirror, he was stunned.

He was not surprised by his reflection, but by the clarity of the mirror.

It was his first time seeing such a clear mirror.

“This isn’t a bronze mirror? Could this mirror be from another world?”

“Yes.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “I bought this in another world. I placed it in the s.p.a.ce Bracelet previously, so I brought it over as well.”

“Let me take a look.”

Seeing that his disciple was shocked, Ye Luo wanted to see what kind of mirror it was.

When he received it and saw it, he could not help but be shocked.

“So that’s what I look like?”

He caressed his face and clicked his tongue in wonder.

A bronze mirror would usually distort one’s facial features, but this mirror did not.

“Well… do you still have this mirror?”

This thing was very interesting. He liked it a lot.

“If Hero Ye wants it, I’ll give it to you.”

“Really… Really?”

Ye Luo could not believe that she would be so generous.

“Yes, I still have some.”

Lu Sheng took out another one and pa.s.sed it to Chu Sihan. She smiled and said, “This is for Ah Han.”

Chu Sihan retracted his gaze from the mirror in Ye Luo’s hand and received it with a smile.

However, he stared at the small mirror thoughtfully.

“Lu Sheng, what kind of world was that world you were in?”

Ye Luo was very curious.

He had never been to that world, but he had once heard from his master that it was very magical. Normal people could fly in the sky. Moreover, that world had many magical weapons that could instantly flatten a mountain. They were even more powerful than immortal spells.

Of course, his master had never been there before. He basically heard it from Lu Zhou.

As to whether it was true or not, no one knew except Lu Zhou.

However, with Lu Sheng around, he wanted to ask about the magicalness of that world.

“Very good, it’s very convenient. For example, it takes two to three months for us to get to the capital of Xuan Yue Country from here. However, if we take a plane, we’ll be there in about an hour.”

Ye Luo was amazed.

“It sounds like it’s only slightly weaker than an Immortal Technique.”

He could tear open the void with an immortal spell and reach his destination.

However, this used up a lot of power.

“Anyway, that world is very convenient. You can go wherever you want. There are also many countries and people with different skin colors.”

“People with different skin colors?” Ye Luo frowned. “Could they be demons?”

Demons had a myriad of changes. Moreover, most of their skin was different, and some of them even looked very strange.

“No!” Lu Sheng smiled and shook her head. “They’re just ordinary people like everyone else.”

“Since they are ordinary people, why are their skin colors different?” Ye Luo did not understand.

“I can’t explain. If there’s a chance, Hero Ye, you can personally visit that world.”

“I want to!”

Ye Luo sighed softly. “However, I can’t go over alone.”

Moreover, these were actions that went against the will of heaven. If he insisted on going over, he would suffer the wrath of heaven.

Lu Sheng cheered him on. “There will definitely be a chance.”

Ye Luo sighed softly. “I hope so.”

When Chu Sihan heard this, he looked up and smiled at Lu Sheng.

“Why?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “You don’t like the mirror?”

“I like it.”

He kept the small mirror and asked faintly, “Is that world really that good?”

“It’s not that it’s good. I just feel that life in that world is very good. I can see a wider world, but there’s something bad about it.”

“Which part?” Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Ah…” Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and smiled.” It’s just that the moon in that world isn’t as beautiful as the moon in this world. There aren’t that many stars either. ”

Actually, Lu Sheng had seen a big and round moon when she was young. At that time, the lunar mare could be seen clearly with the naked eye.

Moreover, there were a lot of stars when she was young. She could often see meteors streaking across the night sky.

However, when she grew up, she felt that the moon seemed to be far away from her. When she looked at it, she would always feel a layer of faint light beside it. Even the lunar mare could not be seen clearly anymore.

There were not as many stars as there were now. There were only a few left.

“Then… The weapon that Peak Master Lu mentioned that could flatten a mountain in an instant really exists?” Ye Luo asked.

“Of course!” Lu Sheng nodded. “It’s not a big deal to flatten a mountain. There are even more powerful ones.”

Judging from Lu Sheng’s expression, she was probably not joking.

Ye Luo could not help but click his tongue. He became more curious about that world.

Chu Sihan pondered and said, “With such a powerful weapon, wouldn’t there be chaos between the countries?”

“More or less. However, that was a long time ago. When I was born, our country was very peaceful.”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “In that case, the country where Sheng Sheng lives should be very powerful?”

“Of course, it’s getting stronger!” Lu Sheng raised her chin proudly.

Chu Sihan chuckled and rubbed her head.

“Let’s not talk about this first.”

Lu Sheng looked at Ye Luo and asked, “Hero Ye, where do you think Xian Ya and Xian Jing are now?”

Ye Luo frowned and shook his head.

“I’m not sure. Those two people have the Emperor Ghost to cover them. They’re almost unpredictable. Even Master can’t find their whereabouts.”

“This can’t go on!”

Chu Sihan said coldly, “The enemy is in the dark while we’re in the light. This situation is very disadvantageous to us.”

Ye Luo said, “Otherwise, why do you think I spent so much money to make masks for you? It’s all to prevent against Xian Jing and Xian Ya.”

Chu Sihan looked at him and reminded him softly, “Master, they’ve seen you before.”

“I know, so I prepared one for myself.”

Ye Luo took out another box with a smile.

He pa.s.sed the small mirror to Chu Sihan. “Disciple, help me hold the mirror. I’ll wear it myself.”

Chu Sihan received it speechlessly and shone it at him obediently.

“Done!”

Ye Luo patted his even older face and spoke with a smile.

“Oh right.”

He said to the two of them, “Just in case, I’ll go downstairs first. You follow behind.”

The duo nodded.

Ye Luo kept the mirror in Chu Sihan’s hands and left.

Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan looked at each other. The two of them sat silently for a while before getting up to go downstairs.

Downstairs, Ye Luo was drinking alone.

General Xiao and Gao Xu sat at the same table.

“Mr. Gao, just let me see those two young people once. Just once. I beg you.”

When the two of them walked past them, they happened to hear General Xiao’s words.

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled before leaving the inn with Chu Sihan.

Since the puppets appeared in this town, it meant that Xian Jing and Xian Ya should be in this town.

However, this town was neither big nor small.

It would take some effort to find them here.

After a while, Ye Luo came out too.

He pretended to accidentally b.u.mp into Chu Sihan and hurriedly apologized.

Chu Sihan did not know what trick he was playing, but he cooperated and said that it was alright.

“Hehe—”

Ye Luo smiled dryly at the two of them and said, “I’m going southeast. Where are the two of you going?”

The duo immediately understood what he meant.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Old man, we’re going northwest.”

“Oh!” Ye Luo pretended to be regretful. “We’re going different routes.”

They had to act well. Perhaps Xian Jing, Xian Ya, or their spies were nearby?

Hence, Chu Sihan said lightly, “Take care, old man.”

Their voices changed. Even Gao Xu, who sent General Xiao out, did not recognize them.

They could even hide it from their acquaintances. It seemed like their disguise was very successful.

After Ye Luo left, Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng headed northwest.

In the northwest was a village. In the fields, the children were plucking wild fruits and eating them.

Seeing someone approaching, they stared warily.

“What are you children eating?”

Lu Sheng looked at the unknown wild fruits in their hands and asked with a smile.

The other children avoided them, seemingly afraid of them.

“These are… wild fruits plucked from the mountain.”

A boy spoke timidly.

“Is it delicious?”

Lu Sheng asked with a smile.

The child shook his head. “It’s sour and not delicious.”

Lu Sheng chuckled and asked, “What’s your name?”

The child blushed and said timidly, “I… I’m Liu Er.”

“Liu Er, right?”

Lu Sheng took out two boxes of pastries and pa.s.sed them to him. “Here, these are from Sister.”

The child looked at the pastries in her hand curiously but did not move.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. She seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly opened the box, taking out a piece and placing it into her mouth.

After chewing, she swallowed it.

“Look, there’s no poison. Sister bought these in town. They’re for you.”

When Liu Er heard that, he reached out to receive it.

“How obedient!”

Lu Sheng raised her hand and wanted to pat the child’s head. However, she remembered that she had taken a pastry just now, so she retracted it silently.

“Let’s go,” Chu Sihan said softly.

“Yes!”

The two of them had not walked far when they heard the children’s happy voices.

Lu Sheng turned back and her red lips curved upwards.

Chu Sihan glanced at her and asked with a smile, “Why did you suddenly want to give those children pastries?”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Can’t I be kind?”

“Okay, but… you probably discovered something else.” Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

“This is called seeing injustice on the streets and helping others.”

Just now, there was an evil spirit following those children. When she pa.s.sed by, she helped them chase it away.

Lu Sheng looked at the yellow talisman emitting green smoke in her hand and casually threw it away. Then, she stepped on it a few times with her foot. She only continued walking after the green smoke disappeared.

The rice in the field had already been harvested, leaving only stalks. It looked a bit desolate.

The two of them entered a small village and checked in at a farmhouse.

There were not many people in this house. There was only a young couple, a two-year-old child, and an old man.

“Where are you from?”

At dinner, the old woman asked with a smile.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “We’re from town. I was initially in a bad mood and wanted to take a walk in the countryside with my husband. Unexpectedly, the carriage broke down midway, so we walked over.”

“I see!”

The old woman nodded and looked at the sky. She said in a low voice, “We have to finish dinner before the sun sets. Otherwise, it’ll be too late.”

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and pretended to be puzzled. “Granny, what do you mean?”

The young couple looked over. The young man said, “Miss lives in town. Don’t you know what happened recently?”

Lu Sheng frowned. “Are you referring to those strange people?”

“Yes.”

The old woman nodded.

Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan looked at each other, both feeling very puzzled.

Weren’t those puppets loitering around town? Could they have come to the village too?

However, the town gate should have been closed at night.

Moreover, they were certain that the puppets did not come here last night.

If they had, they would not have returned so quickly.

“Aren’t those strange people only found in town? Why are there some here too?” Lu Sheng asked with a frown.

The old woman sighed softly. “We don’t know either. Not long ago, a few people died in the village. They were all bitten to death by those strange people.”

The woman also said, “Those strange people will only appear at night. Moreover, once there’s light, they will rush over and bite people. However, as long as the lights are off, they won’t be able to find anyone.”

Lu Sheng pursed her lips, her expression grave.

She thought that only the town had those puppets. She did not expect them to even exist in this remote village.

Where did Xian Jing and Xian Ya place these puppets?
