Chapter 456: Chapter 456: A Different Price
Chen Guan didn’t dare look at Bu Changning and quickly walked away from there.
When he arrived at Xiu Yingi’s house, he entered the password and pushed the door open.
The decor surprised Chen Guan a bit; he didn’t expect soone as cool as Xiu Yingi to like such pink things.
The whole house was decorated in a girlish style, particularly the pink little bed in the bedroom and a row of princess dolls beside it.
"My youthful heart," Chen Guan said, sitting on the bed and playing with a doll.
At first, he found it interesting, but soon grew tired of it, put the doll back, lay on the bed to rest, and unknowingly fell asleep.
He was only awakened by the sound of the door.
Walking out of the bedroom, he indeed saw Xiu Yingi coming in.
"You were supposed to contact
long ago, why are you only showing up now?" Xiu Yingi asked with a stern face.
Chen Guan had told Xiu Jie Ming that he would contact Xiu Yingi, and the two would be in touch through her.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Guan should have contacted Xiu Yingi earlier, but he was delayed by a ride on the Spirit King Ship.
"I got lost, that’s why I’m back now," Chen Guan explained.
"Do I look like a fool to you?" Xiu Yingi rolled her eyes at him, changed out of her shoes, put on her house slippers, and hung her coat on the rack.
"I need an identity to enter the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm again." Chen Guan couldn’t help but be drawn to Xiu Yingi.
Usually, she was in armor, looking like a dashing female War God.
But today, after taking off her coat, Xiu Yingi’s tight outfit showed off her athletic figure, making her look exceptionally captivating.
Xiu Yingi flopped onto the sofa, closing her eyes. "I’m tired, give
a shoulder massage before we talk about anything else."
"This...isn’t it inappropriate...just the two of us..." Chen Guan hesitated.
"If you don’t want to, figure out your identity on your own," Xiu Yingi retorted coldly.
"I didn’t say I wouldn’t," Chen Guan conceded, sitting beside the sofa and reaching to massage Xiu Yingi’s shoulders. "Please handle the identity quickly, I have other things to handle."
"So eager to get back to Ji Nanhong?" Xiu Yingi’s voice turned colder. "I tell you, there are too many eyes around Ji Nanhong. Even if you enter the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm, you can’t contact her."
"Why would I contact her? I’m really busy. Didn’t your brother tell you I have a skilled friend? We got separated. I need to find him quickly," Chen Guan said.
He was telling the truth; he needed to find Fu Tianji, such a powerful ally couldn’t just be lost.
But his first priority was elsewhere; before that, he had to find Fujimura Reiko from King of Eight.
Fujimura Reiko lost half a Secret God Core but completed the mission. Who knew if King of Eight would punish her? Chen Guan needed to act fast to prevent any accidents.
However, he couldn’t disclose this to Xiu Yingi; Fujimura Reiko’s move had to be kept secret for now.
"I prepared it a while ago, originally to give you when you left the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm, but you never ca to find . By the way, how did you leave the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm?" Xiu Yingi asked, getting up and retrieving so identification docunts for Chen Guan from a side cabinet.
Chen Guan looked them over; the docunts and ID were thorough, but they lacked his photo.
"Where’s the photo?" Chen Guan inquired.
"You can’t go back looking the sa, can you? Others aren’t blind; they’ll recognize you," Xiu Yingi gave him a sideways look. "Groom your appearance a bit, and I’ll take your photo now."
Chen Guan nodded, using Giant Spirit Power to alter his physique, then tidied his face in the mirror.
"Wait a minute," Xiu Yingi stopped him as he was about to groom his eyebrows.
She took the razor, smiling, "Let
do your eyebrows."
"Just don’t make them look too bad," Chen Guan laughed.
"Sit still and stop talking, or I’ll slit your throat," Xiu Yingi warned, slowly gliding the razor over his throat.
"Sis, be careful, my neck’s fragile," Chen Guan responded.
"Then be quiet," Xiu Yingi said, moving in front of him, bending down to examine his eyebrows before she slowly worked.
Chen Guan dared not move or look around; her position was a bit unsettling.
He feared an excited slip and a cut on his face.
Once she finished his eyebrows, Xiu Yingi blew away the trimd hairs, stepped back slightly, and examined Chen Guan’s face.
Xiu Yingi’s eyes suddenly glead, "This is it! I wondered why you always looked a bit off; now your eyebrows suit you, changing your entire look."
"Finished?" Chen Guan asked.
"Almost, don’t move," Xiu Yingi instructed, leaning in again, this ti directly straddling his lap; as she scrutinized his eyebrows, Chen Guan felt the weight of two invisible mountains pressing down.
Chen Guan remained motionless, allowing Xiu Yingi to gently brush his brows, her breath warm against his face.
Xiu Yingi couldn’t tear her gaze away from him; the makeover had given Chen Guan an unnaable beauty and a hint of mischief, a stark contrast from his usual boy-next-door persona.
Watching him, Xiu Yingi’s heart unexpectedly raced, thundering like a drum.
In that mont, she was entranced.
Instinctively, she hooked a hand under Chen Guan’s chin, compelling him to tilt up his head as she leaned slowly down.
Her hair cascaded down, her lips nearly touched his before a finger abruptly blocked the scene.
"Sis, if we’re just doing eyebrows, let’s do eyebrows; anything else costs extra," Chen Guan said flatly, his finger halting her lips and breath.
"Go to hell," Xiu Yingi snapped, throwing down the razor and grabbing a pink pillow to smother Chen Guan.
Chen Guan’s fingers tickled Xiu Yingi’s side, like a Thunder Strike; her body stiffened, then she sprang up, glaring at him.
"Still taking photos?" Chen Guan chuckled.
"Yes, this morial photo, I’ll take it perfectly," Xiu Yingi gritted her teeth.
