Chapter 35 - New Face

Lory stares her reflection in the mirror with an anxious face, even after all these years she still not use with her new face. sometime she shocked when she sees her own reflection she thought someone else looking back at her.

[Told you, to choose prettier face…] Girsha scoffed, the bird nestles on the side table.

[In the world where ordinary women could get raped and killed without nowhere report it] Lory said with sarcastic smiled.

[When that happens I could just kill the bas***d for you and you are not that defenseless…..]

[Oh, and then we got chasing around by their family, their subordinated and guess what if they are noble, their expert will hunt use like rabbit] Lory glare at Girsha.

[Then change your face!!] Girsha rebuke

Lory pinch her temple [And back to shapeshifter spell...again] Lory wave her hand too tired to bickering with him [Just…stop] Lory back to her reflection again thinking witch part of her faces she could change but not so conspicuous.

[Just changed it to your original face] another suggestion from Girsha

Lory sigh helplessly [And got chasing by other people...] her face is so different from local people, not to mention her purple eyes, people around here mostly had black or deep brown eyes and that's it, and they got high prejudice with people who look different with them.

[Why People always chasing you around?] Girsha shout with ridiculous tone.

Lory rolls her eyes [I don't know, I'm a very attractive female!!]

[.....Pffft….] Girsha burst to laugh

'You Damn old Bird!!!'

Lory ignores Girsha, she pondering while watching the mirror maybe she only needs to change her eyes and eyebrows and lighten her skin tone a little bit her current skin tone is darker than her original skin, Lory skin is more paled like snow while women in this world even if they're noblewoman who had fairer skin still the difference is quite obvious but honestly Lory likes the woman skin in this world better than her, she always feels she like a vampire compare to them.

[Is it okay to change it, with the curse still on your body….]

[It's fine for the first time then it's should be okay for the last time after all shapeshifter doesn't use too much 'Mana' so it's fine…..I may slightly discomfort but...I would be okay] Lory assured him.

[Whatever you say Princess...] Girsha sigh but he can't erase his worried face.

[Okay....] Lory take a long deep breath [Here we go….]

Lory rubs her left wrist with her thumb then gradually a faint purple circle with stranged rune appear on her wrist the light is dimmed, Lory closes her eyes try to concentrate she feel a pinch in her heart but she does not stop she only need a few seconds. After a few seconds, Lory takes a long exhaled his body lean on the dressing table she pants a little bit like she takes a long run.

[Damn, I never have thought I would be so worked up from a simple spell....]

Girsha sighs again, a powerful Princess has degraded to such level, it's really pitiful and it's all because of that damn serpent. If only there's a way to break that curse but in this world where spell and magic do not exist where they can find such a thing.

[I'm good….] lory raised her thumb even though her fore headcover with sweat. She took a glimpse of her new reflection on the mirror fortunately, she was a success, her eyes back to her eyes and eyebrows back to her original. Lory's eyes are big with an almond shape like a doll eye but she keeps her Irish dark her eyebrows are darker then her previous eyebrows, overall her face changes a lot, Lory smile when she sees her reflection now she's more like her.

[I still like your old face….] Girsha grumble.

[Thank you, but this would do....it still can blend with the crowd isn't it] Lory feels satisfied with her new looks and her skin a bit fairer than before but still similar to other women.

[ I need to change my dress, Li Xin might wait for me for a while] Lory raised from her sits in hurry she rummages her drawer and takes out a few dresses [Why cultivator never sleep too long….] she complained while changing her dress behind the screen door.

______________________________________________________

Meanwhile Lory busy to get dress Zhao Li Xin is in the main hall he sits on the armchair with half doze eyes sips his wine slowly, today he wears white inner robes dark purple robes he might want to look as ordinary man but sadly there's nothing ordinary about him even though he can hide her face he can hide his dangerous aura around him and that cold and distant demeanor how could he hide it. Mong Yi and Mong Ki watch their Lord with perplexed looks even thought they hides it.

'Milord even though you wear a mask and rags I could still recognize you anywhere….' he laments to himself helplessly.

But Zhao Li Xin feels his disguised is quite good he doesn't know he can only pretend as a lazy person who is considered to be sick or to be domineering devilish demon-like 'Long Ming' he can't do anything in between but who dare to tell him. He waiting patiently for his savior finish dress up, maybe in this world, only Lory who dare to make him wait for so long if it's other people... just said that they won't be here anymore.

But Zhao Li Xin did not mind waiting for her he actually quite curious he wondering how Lory changes her face and what kinda face she has, he also excited to take a stroll with her this will be their first time walking around in daylights together. Too bad it's not shown on his face for other people he just looks lazy but Mong Yi and Mong Ki who had been served him for decades knew how good his mood today because he hasn't killed anyone after waiting this long.

Not long after thy hear running footsteps approach the door "Sorry I'm late!!" she immediately apologizes when she arrives. She hates the fact her room is too far from the main hall and why Zhao Li Xin waiting for her here and not in his own room they're room is next to each other.

Zhao Li Xin faintly smiles when he heard her anxious voice, but when he lifts his head he wast stunned by her new face. Lory sees him froze becomes worried she unconsciously touch her face.

"What….what's wrong, is my face weird....is it ugly?" she becomes nervous she shifts her gaze to Mong ki and Mong Yi although they don't have a big reaction like Zhao Li Xin but they still look surprised.

"Should...should I change back...is it really weird" Lory feels dejected, she thought she looks okay is she wronged maybe she had a different taste than the others.

Zhao Li Xin sighs "Ri Yi….." he said calmly "Let's put on the veil…."

"........" Lory sadly pouts

"......." Mong Ki and Mong Yi sigh helplessly

'Milord you really gonna end up alone…..'

Mong Yi doesn't want his great but stupid Lord become a virgin in this lifetime, he braces himself and said "Because you look so beautiful miss Luo just like a dainty flower in the snow mountain, what if someone attracted to your beauty" Mong Yi said with one single breath.

Mong Ki eyes bulged 'Brother, I don't know you had it in you!!'

"Huh…..dainty…." this Lory is the one froze, no one ever describes her as dainty, not even her own Father and Brother. Suddenly she could hear Fargo screamed at her with an excited voice

"KILL all that beast Lory!!! Are you tired, you only kill five of them!! KILL MORE…..KILL all that Son's of B****!!!" then he laughing like lunatics.

Lory shakes her head tries to forget the images in her head "Well....thank you, Brother Mong" she said with unsure voice.

Zhao Li Xin glared at Mong Yi, someone just steals his 'thunder' Mong Yi look down immediately not dare to make another comment, Zhao Li Xin makes awkward cough "Ehm….his rights, you look nice"

Lory raised her brows "You don't look so sure....."

"I'm sure, you look.....beautiful" Zhao Li Xin said bitterly, he really feels Lory is beautiful too beautiful even and that's why he suddenly feels irritated, he doesn't want her shows her face in public he knew how shameless man can be, just look the Emperor and the crown Prince how many women they had and they not care if the women willing or not if they like it they snatch them without feeling guilty at all, and now he got another reason to worried for her.

"So, when we will leave?" Lory becomes excited again, this would be her first time watching festive occasion without having to sneak around, how great is that.

Zhao Li Xin wants to say 'never' but her beautiful eyes glint with excitement he does not dare to refuse her "Let's go now….." he reluctantly said.

"Yeay!!"
