When Li Huowang looked at those women, the conversation between Sun Baolu and Gouwa entered Li Huowang's ears.

"Old Sun, these bandits have really cruel eyes, all the women they took are quite beautiful. Should I pick one of them as my wife? I don't mind if they're dirty, as long as they can bear children."

"Forget it, they just came out from that place, don't bully them."

"Pfft! What are you saying? I'm not taking a concubine, I'm going to marry a wife properly. So what if I'm not good-looking? If they really want to marry me, that's already a good match."

"Old Sun, do you want one too? If we miss this opportunity, it won't be easy to find such beautiful wives in the future."

"They're all pitiful people, forget it."

"We're helping them! Think about it, even if they go back, they'll be pointed at and unable to marry for the rest of their lives! At least if they follow me, they'll have hot meals to eat."

Li Huowang pulled the blanket off himself and stood up, ignoring the nonsense of Gouwa, and walked towards Lv Zhuangyuan who was drinking porridge.

The Lv family troupe had obviously recovered from their rest, at least their faces were clean and their clothes were not messy.

Seeing Li Huowang approaching, Lv Zhuangyuan quickly stood up and handed the bowl in his hand to his youngest son, his eyes full of respect.

"This thing is yours, right?" Li Huowang returned the cigarette butt to its owner.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!!" Lv Zhuangyuan nodded and bowed, quickly taking it with both hands.

"I feel guilty in my heart, so just do me a favor when I need it."

Lv Zhuangyuan was quite surprised. This young master had such great abilities, what could he possibly need help with?

Li Huowang turned his head to look at the others who were eating normally. "Yes, help us disguise ourselves. Everyone put on makeup."

Soon, everyone's faces were painted with theatrical makeup, even Li Huowang's copper coin mask was adorned with a long beard.

When all the weapons were put on the carriage, the previously disorganized escort team disappeared, leaving only a large troupe of about twenty people.

"In the future, you will lead this troupe, we are all under your command. If anyone asks, it will be you who speaks for us."

With the identification of Monkey Second, their current appearance was too conspicuous, they needed a new identity, which was Li Huowang's goal.

Lv Zhuangyuan was also a shrewd person, and immediately understood, patting his chest to indicate that there was no problem."Senior Li, is this going to work?" A white round-faced boy tapped his nose and asked with a bitter expression.

Li Huowang's long beard on his face shook as he shook his head. "We always have to try. If we just walk on the road like that, we'll be easily found by them. We can't fight against the entire Later Shu."

At this moment, he was dressed in a black outfit with a beard and a full set of official opera costumes, completely different from the previous red-robed Taoist.

Unless he completely removed his makeup, he could not be recognized at all.

"Senior Li, let's eat." Bai Lingmiao, dressed in a flower-drum opera costume, came over with porridge.

As Li Huowang lifted the bowl to drink, he quickly scanned the room and saw that only Chun Xiaoman had not yet put on makeup.

Seeing Li Huowang's gaze, Bai Lingmiao quickly explained, "Xiaoman sister has too much facial hair, she needs to trim it before putting on makeup."

"Hurry up and shave, don't waste time. No one knows how long it will take for those people to arrive."

As Li Huowang spoke, he threw the sword that was as sharp as mud, picked up the bowl, and drank it in big gulps.

"No need for that. It's not like we're going to be beheaded. I can do makeup." Lv Zhuangyuan's daughter-in-law Luo Juanhua put down her bowl and wrapped two red cords around her wrist, then went over to help.

The threads crossed each other, quickly twisting the black hair on Xiaoman's face from the roots, revealing a touch of white.

When Li Huowang finished his porridge, Xiaoman's facial hair had also been twisted off.

At this time, the other senior and junior brothers who came out of the Qingfeng Temple together couldn't help but look over curiously.

Xiaoman's face had always been covered in hair, and this was the first time they had seen what she looked like.

Luo Juanhua's makeup was very meticulous, even her neck was cleaned up.

Xiaoman looked a little uneasy and looked at the others, feeling a little nervous.

To be honest, she didn't know what she looked like.

Xiaoman quickly stood up and walked out of the bronze mirror, carefully examining her face.

Then she saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a delicate face, a slightly round face, and a straight nose in the mirror.

Not stunningly beautiful, but delicate enough.

She didn't know if others were satisfied, but Xiaoman was definitely satisfied, holding her face with her furry hands and tears in her eyes.

No one wants to be a hairy monster for their whole life. She also wants to have children like other women.

"Xiaoman, you're so young." Li Huowang muttered before urging her to hurry up and put on makeup and leave quickly. The entire Later Shu was not safe for them.Lv Juren picked up the brush and painted over Xiaoman's face with thick ink, despite her reluctance.

"Clippity-clop!" Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and a group of vicious-looking men rode past them on horseback.

Some of them took a quick glance at the troupe before moving on. This was not a good sign. "Let's go. Hurry up, those people are probably hiring bandits to find us," Li Huowang said, causing the previously relaxed atmosphere to become tense again.

Everyone stopped eating and quickly packed up. For the next few days, Li Huowang avoided the main road and took smaller paths as much as possible. Due to the makeup and the chosen route, they managed to arrive at a small town nestled among several rocky hills after ten days. The town was small, only one street in size, but there were still plenty of passersby due to its location as a transportation hub.

Upon seeing the lively street, Li Huowang breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's rest here for a night and continue tomorrow," he said, leading the group inside.

After taking a few steps, Li Huowang suddenly saw the old man he had met on the road before. "Old man, where are you going?" Jinshan Zhao turned his head and saw a bearded old actor speaking to him.

After identifying the voice, he replied with some surprise, "Oh? It's really you. What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence?" Li Huowang's pupils shrank slightly as he quickly walked up to him. "Hit me."

"Huh? Why?"

"Bang!" Li Huowang punched Jinshan Zhao in the chest, causing him to take three steps back while holding his chest.

"Why did you do that for no reason, sir? Have I offended you in any way?" Jinshan Zhao was almost out of breath from the punch.

Li Huowang ignored him and instead looked down at his own fist, murmuring to himself, "I can touch him, and the sensation... It seems like he's not just a hallucination like the monk."
