Chapter 33: The Prince Consort in Princess Yan Yang's Heart

Acting heroically and upholding justice was not something Xu Que enjoyed doing; if he did it, it was mostly to show off.

Just like now, ever since he transmigrated to this Xianxia world and obtained the Acting Cool System, this guy was either showing off every day, or on his way to show off!

After simply analyzing that the Fire Origin Kingdom carriage convoy had been pursued and killed, Xu Que immediately launched a search.

Unfortunately, he didn't even know who was sitting in the carriages.

Thus, a few hours later, apart from discovering a few corpses in the woods from time to time, Xu Que had gained nothing. He lay on a tree and sighed:

"My God, I just want to quietly show off, is it really that hard?"

He shook his head, entered the system interface, and searched in the mall.

After wiping out the Wuxiang Sect a few days ago, his Acting Cool Points had risen to over four hundred again, which was considered slightly affluent. He decided to look for a treasure that could track and locate.

But after checking for a long time, he couldn't find one at all. Instead, he saw that a new treasure had appeared in the miscellaneous items column.

【High-Grade Human Skin Mask】:

Created by the Thousand-Faced Young Master "Wang Lianhua," it possesses an extremely strong disguise effect. You can define a face once, and it will be lifelike, making it difficult for others to distinguish the real from the fake. (This item is ineffective against experts above the Infant Transformation Stage!)

Price: 200 Acting Cool Points!

"Damn, are you robbing me? A human skin mask sells for two hundred Acting Cool Points, more expensive than a Heaven-Grade technique?" Xu Que stared wide-eyed on the spot.

Things this expensive usually have special bonus skills, but this so-called "High-Grade Human Skin Mask" seemed to have no other attributes besides disguise. The only thing that could be justified was that it was only ineffective against those above the Infant Transformation Stage.

That is to say, if he wore this human skin mask, even Infant Transformation Stage experts wouldn't be able to see through his true face.

"Ding, the High-Grade Human Skin Mask can define a face according to the host's needs. After the face is determined, the system will evaluate it and calculate additional attribute bonuses." At this moment, the system responded in Xu Que's mind.

"Eh, there really is an attribute bonus, that's not bad. Does it add strength or speed?" Xu Que became curious immediately.

"This mask only provides two attributes, namely Charisma and Luck. Given the host's current state, the system suggests you purchase it!"

What the hell? Suggesting I purchase it?

Xu Que was immediately unhappy: "Bah, with my temperament and appearance, do I need to increase my Charisma? What a joke, I can fascinate a large crowd of girls just by walking out!"

"According to the judgment, you will undergo a Hard Mode Heavenly Tribulation in seven days, and the Luck attribute will have an extraordinary effect!" the system replied.

Xu Que was stunned, and suddenly realized: "So it's talking about Luck. Is this thing reliable? It's invisible and intangible, who knows what use it could have!"

Although he said that, Xu Que was still a bit tempted.

Luck is indeed invisible and intangible, but once this thing exerts its power, it is unstoppable.

After pondering left and right, Xu Que decided to grit his teeth and buy one to try!

"Since I can't find the people in the carriages right now, I might as well buy a human skin mask to add some Charisma and Luck, then find them, and show off a few more times. Not only can I recover the cost, but I can also earn more. Damn, I'm simply a genius!"

Xu Que immediately chose to redeem the human skin mask!

"Ding, congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully redeeming the 'High-Grade Human Skin Mask', consuming two hundred Acting Cool Points. Please simulate the appearance!"

Following the system's prompt, a human face appeared before Xu Que's eyes. At the same time, as soon as he thought of his own appearance in his mind, the mask immediately changed, synchronizing with his thoughts, becoming his own appearance.

Xu Que was stunned for a moment. He thought about the face of a popular male star actor from his previous life on Earth, and the human skin mask changed again immediately.

"Damn, so that's how it's used. Then let's go with Li Xiaoyao!" Xu Que determined a new appearance after thinking for a moment.

Although his own appearance wasn't bad, since he had bought the mask, he couldn't waste it. Moreover, he would soon reach the Imperial City, so he couldn't wear a black robe every day; having an extra face would make things easier to handle.

In the end, Xu Que directly used the face of a male actor from his previous life on Earth, "Hu Ge," at the peak of his looks. Back then, he had played the slightly roguish character Li Xiaoyao and became an overnight sensation, later playing the mature and steady Mei Changsu.

With the looks and temperament of this face, he could almost handle any style, which was very suitable for Xu Que!

"Confirm the appearance?" After selecting the character, the system asked.

"Yes!" Xu Que confirmed without hesitation.

With a "whoosh," the human skin mask flashed with a white light, and Hu Ge's face appeared before Xu Que.

Looking at the attributes of this mask again, they had already changed.

【High-Grade Human Skin Mask】:

Created by the Thousand-Faced Young Master "Wang Lianhua," it possesses an extremely strong disguise effect. The appearance has been determined, and it is lifelike, making it difficult for others to distinguish the real from the fake. (This item is ineffective against experts above the Infant Transformation Stage!)

Charisma +20

Luck +2

"What the hell? Luck only adds two points?"

Xu Que directly ignored the Charisma attribute and stared at the mere two points of Luck, shouting.

However, the system gave no response and remained silent!

Xu Que curled his lips, and could only enter the system package interface to use the mask directly.

Afterwards, he only felt a warmth slide across his face, and there were no other abnormalities!

Xu Que jumped off the tree branch, ran to a small river not far away, and took a look. His face had already turned into the period-drama version of Hu Ge!

Afterwards, with a thought, another warmth swept across his face, and it immediately changed back to his original appearance. He could actually switch back and forth as he pleased.

"Eh? Why do I feel like I've become more handsome?"

Xu Que looked at his face and was suddenly surprised.

Following that, he reacted; it seemed that the 20 points of Charisma were taking effect. Even he himself was almost fascinated by his own face!

"Hahahaha, this is going to be fun."

Xu Que laughed out loud. While wearing the human skin mask, even if he switched back to his original face, the 20 points of Charisma and Luck would still be applied to him.

With a thought, Xu Que switched back to Hu Ge's face, pulled down the hood of his black robe, and decided to head to the Imperial City in this disguise for the time being.

However, just as Xu Que turned around, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the river, rapidly enlarging.

Following that, with a "splash," a huge spray of water exploded, and a red blood python rushed out, opened its bloody mouth, and bit directly at Xu Que.

Xu Que sensed it, reacted extremely quickly, and instantly used Three Thousand Thunder Movement to dodge.

At the same time, he pulled out the Xuanzhong Ruler from behind his back, glared at the Infant Transformation Stage blood python in front of him, and cursed: "Damn retard! You scared me. You dare to ambush me? You're done for."

After speaking, the Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand suddenly turned into a large expanse of ruler shadows, bombarding the blood python with overwhelming force.

"Boom!"

The majestic pressure and terrifying momentum instantly stunned the blood python.

But its reaction was also extremely fast. At the critical moment, it actually dodged the Xuanzhong Ruler, and then without the slightest hesitation, with a "whoosh," it turned its head and ran.

"You still dare to run?" Xu Que picked up the Xuanzhong Ruler and chased after it directly.

At the same time, on the opposite bank of the river, not far away, under a few towering ancient trees, two women were hiding in a corner. They were Zi Xuan and Princess Yan Yang from the carriage earlier.

It was just that the two had already disguised themselves, changed into coarse linen clothes they had found somewhere, dressed up like village girls, and even deliberately smeared some gray mud on their fair faces. At a glance, they were almost unrecognizable.

At this time, the two had solemn expressions, their brows furrowed, and they were watching their surroundings with extreme vigilance.

"The Golden Yuan Kingdom is truly daring, actually daring to attack us, and even dispatching so many Infant Transformation Stage experts. They clearly want to put us to death!" Zi Xuan clenched her small hands tightly and gritted her teeth.

Killing intent flashed in Princess Yan Yang's eyes, and she said coldly: "Those people are not ordinary Infant Transformation Stage experts. If I'm not mistaken, they should be elite assassins from the Heavenly Fiend!"

"What, it's actually the Heavenly Fiend!" Zi Xuan's expression changed instantly.

"That's right, it is rumored that the people of the Heavenly Fiend all wear white robes and red masks, and their saber techniques are superb. Judging by their methods just now, it is indeed the Heavenly Fiend!" Princess Yan Yang said coldly.

Zi Xuan's small face turned pale, losing all color: "This Golden Yuan Kingdom is truly too extravagant, actually spending a lot of money to hire Heavenly Fiend assassins to ambush us. Princess, I'm afraid we are doomed this time."

Princess Yan Yang was silent for a moment, sighed slightly: "Zi Xuan, I have implicated you this time. They only want to kill me. Later, I will go and lure them away, and then you leave immediately..."

"Princess, Zi Xuan used to listen to everything you said, but you should know that it is impossible for me to listen to this kind of thing." Zi Xuan's expression suddenly turned cold, and she said firmly.

Princess Yan Yang opened her mouth, then turned into a bitter smile, and shook her head: "You always say that my temperament will make it impossible for me to find a Prince Consort in the future, and no one will want me. But your stubborn temper is no worse than mine."

Zi Xuan suddenly chuckled: "How could that be? Zi Xuan was just joking with you, Princess. In fact, the young masters in the Imperial City who pursue you could almost circle the Imperial City if they lined up, it's just that you don't like them."

"Those playboys in the Imperial City, who are about my age, have the highest cultivation at the Golden Core Fifth Layer, even weaker than me. If they want to be my, Yan Yang's, Prince Consort, they are not qualified enough!" Princess Yan Yang said lightly.

Zi Xuan sighed lightly: "You always look at people based on their cultivation level. Zi Xuan feels that when two people are together, it's about mutual understanding. You like him, and he likes you, that's enough. In fact, there are some young masters in the Imperial City who are noble in character. Have you never been moved by any of them?"

Princess Yan Yang shook her head lightly: "The Prince Consort in my heart should be someone who can stand alone and has outstanding strength. The cultivation level doesn't need to be too high, but at least it must be at the Golden Core Perfection. When I need him, he can always appear in time, like the situation today..."

"My Princess! Are you choosing a husband or a bodyguard? Even if a Prince Consort at the Golden Core Perfection really appeared, it would be impossible to change the current situation. Those people are all elite assassins of the Heavenly Fiend, each of them is at the Infant Transformation Stage."

Zi Xuan paused slightly when she said this, and nodded slightly:

"Unless it's a genius with the Heavenly Fire Spirit Root, it's possible to fight against the Infant Transformation Stage with the cultivation of the Golden Core Perfection. En, if that Xu Que from back then hadn't died, he would have met your requirements, but it's a pity..."

Princess Yan Yang's brows furrowed slightly: "It's not like he is the only one in the world with the Heavenly Spirit Root. I have always believed that the true Prince Consort destined for me, Yan Yang, will be even more outstanding!"

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, while the two were talking, a movement suddenly came from the woods in front.

"This is... the aura of the Infant Transformation Stage?"

The expressions of the two changed instantly, and their beautiful eyes swept forward.

Following that, they were instantly stunned.

They saw an Infant Transformation Stage blood python rushing out of the woods in front, twisting its body crazily, fleeing everywhere.

And behind it, a Golden Core Stage youth wearing a black robe and holding a black giant ruler was in hot pursuit. ===== CHAPTER 34 =====
