Chapter 51: Disguise

Ye Liuyun nodded repeatedly. "Good! Go ahead!"

Lei Ming saw him agree, and happily said: "The method is to disguise as mercenaries and directly enter the city!"

Ye Liuyun instantly deflated! Angrily said: "Have you ever seen mercenaries as young as us? If you can't think of anything, don't just spout nonsense."

Lei Ming saw he didn't believe, also angrily said: "Uncultured! Haven't you heard of disguise?"

Ye Liuyun was too lazy to argue with Lei Ming.

"No matter how you disguise, can you completely change your appearance so no one can tell? Do you think smearing mud on your face will let you get by?"

"Tch, it depends on who does it! My disguise technique is top-notch. Don't believe me? Just wait."

Saying that, she began to tinker, taking out many tools and materials, then started mixing and stirring the materials.

"Go help me steal a few sets of mercenary clothes, with similar builds!" Lei Ming ordered Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun looked at the tools and materials she took out, and couldn't help but doubt. Maybe this girl really knows how to disguise!

So he turned and went to look for mercenaries; not long after, he returned with several sets of mercenary clothes.

"They're all men's clothing!" Lei Ming complained.

"How could I go steal women's clothes! Just make do with them—anyway mercenaries male and female wear similar stuff!" Ye Liuyun gave her a glance and ignored her.

Then Ye Liuyun was driven away by her, saying she needed to change clothes and not let him look. After a while, Lei Ming called him over.

But when he saw her, Ye Liuyun was also startled. Lei Ming had completely turned into a thin, small man, even sporting a Fu Manchu moustache.

Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up; he observed her closely, and indeed could see no trace of disguise.

"Can't tell at all! Your disguise skill is really impressive!" Ye Liuyun praised.

"Of course! This is just a short time; otherwise I could even change my figure!"

When Lei Ming opened her mouth to speak, even her voice changed, which further surprised Ye Liuyun! This disguise technique is simply flawless!

"Great! Hurry up and help me change too!" Ye Liuyun eagerly wanted to leave as soon as possible.

So Lei Ming then helped him with makeup, turning him into a sturdy middle-aged man.

"Your cultivation level can't change, but you can swap your weapon, right?"

After the disguise, Lei Ming asked.

"Who says my cultivation level can't change?" Ye Liuyun took the treasure snatched from the Guard Captain and hung it around his neck, then changed his cultivation level to Body Refining Eighth Level.

Such a treasure cannot be distinguished unless one encounters a Martial Cultivator with exceptionally strong Divine Sense.

Then he took out his own knife, slung it behind his back, and looked even more like an ordinary mercenary.

"Hey, your treasure is not bad! Give it to me after we go out?" Lei Ming was obviously very interested in all things related to disguise.

"Sure, I'll give it to you! Anyway, keeping it is useless for me!" Ye Liuyun said.

Lei Ming circled Ye Liuyun again, found no flaws, then nodded satisfied.

"Let's go! Try to lower your voice as much as possible, preferably making it hoarse."

Lei Ming said, tidied up the surroundings, then took out two black daggers, slipped them diagonally behind his back, and walked out side by side with Ye Liuyun.

As they walked, she also taught Ye Liuyun how to change his voice, while reminding him to pay attention to some mercenary behaviors and movements.

The two walked out of the mountain range openly. On the road they encountered several mercenary groups, without even asking, they were let pass directly.

Only when they were about to enter the city did they encounter trouble, being stopped by a mercenary squad.

"You two, which mercenary group are you from?" The leader of the mercenaries, a Martial Cultivator at True Origin Triple.

"We're not locals, just passing through Wuyang City." Lei Ming replied with altered voice.

"Which place's mercenaries? Which mercenary group? What are you doing running here?" The chief asked.

Lei Ming was about to make something up, but Ye Liuyun answered for her: "The Azure Wolf Mercenary Group of Fengyang City. As for why we're here, sorry, can't tell!"

The chief glanced at them both, then didn't ask further, only saying: "We are the Yang Tiger Mercenary Group, one of the strongest mercenary groups locally, currently recruiting. Would you two like to join us?"

"Sorry! We still have a mission!" Lei Ming replied.

"Don't know what's good for you?" a tall thin man cursed. Knowing they weren't local mercenaries, they had no scruples.

But the chief said: "Forget it! Let's go, attending to business is important."

"Consider yourselves lucky, I don't have time to deal with you today!" Saying that, he reached out to slap Lei Ming. Just meant to give him a slap as a lesson.

Who would have thought Lei Ming wouldn't let him hit her. She immediately drew a dagger, piercing his palm. At the same time, the other dagger was already at the thin tall man's eyes, frightening him into not daring to move.

Seeing that, the chief's face showed a hint of anger. "I didn't expect that! You're actually skilled, but causing trouble in our Wuyang, you're still lacking."

Seeing he was about to attack, Lei Ming and Ye Liuyun both worried. If they fought, they'd have to reveal their strength, and it would become an endless pursuit.

Thus, Ye Liuyun, thinking quickly, directly released the Black Python from his Storage Ring.

The Black Python's True Origin Quadruple aura immediately made the chief dare not move recklessly.

Lei Ming then took the opportunity to say: "Everyone, reason outweighs force. Right or wrong, we all know it in our hearts. No need to fight to the death."

Seeing there was a way out, the chief immediately cursed the thin tall man a few times, then led his people away. He also didn't want to get into a deadlock over such a small matter with Lei Ming and them.

Lei Ming and Ye Liuyun, seeing them leave, also let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew, that was close, almost had an accident!"

Ye Liuyun then made the Black Python smaller, coiled it around his arm. The two directly entered the city.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterward; they encountered no obstacles and directly arrived at the Beast Taming Pavilion.

The Beast Taming Pavilion's steward, a big fat man, upon seeing the Black Python on Ye Liuyun's arm, immediately came forward to greet them.

Meanwhile, Lei Ming at this point instead hid behind Ye Liuyun, saying nothing.

"It seems she has an innate fear of beast tamers."

"Little brother, are you selling this Black Python?" the fat man asked.

"Not for sale! We're here to rent a flying beast to go to Tianyun Prefecture City." Ye Liuyun replied.

Seeing Ye Liuyun wasn't here to sell the Black Python, the fat man couldn't help but feel disappointed. His attitude also did a complete 180-degree turn.

"Lately, lots of people have been heading to Tianyun County City, so there aren't many flying beasts left. They're all out back—go pick yourselves, and let me know when you've chosen." Having said that, he twisted his plump frame and hurried back to sit behind the counter.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind, and he and Lei Ming headed straight to the backyard. It was filled with beast cages, but most were empty—evidently the fat man hadn't lied; there really weren't many flying beasts, just three.

One was a Heaven-piercing Swallow, but it was too small to carry two people. One was a white crane, but it seemed very old; Ye Liuyun felt it looked feeble just standing.

The other was a bald vulture, its eyes flashing with menace as it glared fiercely at Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming.

"None of them are suitable!" Lei Ming suddenly exclaimed.

"This bald vulture isn't tamed yet—it's completely unusable. The Heaven-piercing Swallow is too small to seat two people. The white crane is too old; if we flew on it, we'd have to stop and rest after a short distance, and it might even die midway."

They were all beasts, and she understood their conditions at a glance.
