The final discussion concluded that Mo Liu should behave well these days, avoid running around, and never be alone. At all tis, he must be accompanied by soone, as Tanaka Baihui will not stay in Z-country for long. Once she leaves, there will be nothing to worry about.
The Daoji Association, no matter how powerful, can’t extend its reach into Z-country.
Shangguan volunteered to be Mo Liu’s bodyguard, responsible for protecting him until Tanaka Baihui leaves Z-country.
Mo Liu looked at Shangguan with tears in his eyes, touched. Shangguan frowned displeasedly, impatiently shooed Mo Liu’s face away, breaking his tender heart.
Sisi thought about it and then took a bottle of sedative spray from her bag and handed it to Mo Liu, asking him to carry it with him. She then took out a small bottle of pills from her bag, which she made for fun after finding the recipe amusing long ago.
The original na of the pill was Transformation Pill, but it should be called Ugly Pills because concubines in the past frequently used it to compete and harm each other. Whoever took this pill would grow cute red bumps all over their body within twenty-four hours, whether male or female, and the longer the ti, the more bumps appear.
However, this pill is not permanent; it has a ti limit. A month later, it will automatically lose its effect, and the skin will return to normal. The second ti soone takes it, the effects will be halved, lasting only for half a month. In other words, if one takes the pill too many tis, the body will automatically develop antibodies, making it ineffective after several doses.
But in the cold palace, where competition was intense, every woman had to maintain a beautiful appearance every second of the year. Even going to the toilet might require practice to make it pleasing to the eye.
So, to make a beauty ugly for a month was almost like announcing her death sentence. A month later, would the Emperor still rember which palace or hall you belonged to? Off to the cold palace with you!
Sisi took out the pills, generously adding a few more, putting them in a small bottle, and handed it to Mo Liu.
"What’s this?" Mo Liu curiously asked.
Sisi answered with a smile: "This is sothing I made before. I nad it ’Guarding Body’ Pill."
Everyone collectively fell...
What’s with that strange na?
Seeing that everyone was confused, Sisi kindly explained: "Once you take this pill, you’ll beco so ugly that no one will be interested in you. I’m thinking that if that creep Tanaka tries to force Ah Liu, Ah Liu can take one, and I doubt Tanaka is that heavy into that kind of thing, so he can keep his virtue intact!"
Mo Liu beca interested, "Is it really that effective?"
"Of course, but rember that this pill is only effective for a month, and the more you take it, the more the effect diminishes. The first ti works best, so don’t try it unless it’s a critical mont," Sisi warned.
"Got it, thanks, Sisi." Mo Liu carefully stored the spray and pills.
Sisi observed his seriousness and joked with a laugh: "I’m just saying; maybe you’ll never need these things in your life!"
Zhong Ani laughed, "Better safe than sorry! With Ah Liu’s beauty, even without the creep Tanaka, there would be others eyeing him, so he should be prepared."
Everyone burst into laughter again.
The exhibition lasted three days, and Sisi went every day, primarily because she wasn’t sure about Tanaka. According to Zhong Ani, the Police Station found that the three deceased had all gone to the seaside of T City last weekend.
So, the man who fell into the pool likely had contact with Tanaka that day.
Looking at it that way, the common points between the three n beca evident, and combined with Tanaka Baihui’s peculiar hobby, the murderer was obvious!
However, even though they had provided Tanaka Baihui as a suspect, because she is from R-country, and not just any ordinary citizen, and because her subordinates are ticulous, leaving no clues for the criminal investigation team to work from.
Even approaching Tanaka Baihui for questioning was difficult, as it could spark international disputes!
This is freaking frustrating!
Sisi found it quite frustrating, too, which is why she generally prefers not to trouble the governnt or police and solve things herself.
These institutions like to follow procedures, cautious of every possibility, afraid of international disputes or losing their positions, often turning obvious cases into suicide after endless complications!
Sisi had a feeling that the three deaths would ultimately be ruled as suicides.
So, never pick the wildflowers by the roadside, especially those that co to you — they’re poisonous!
Tanaka Baihui later ca back twice, seemingly genuinely liking Mo Liu; she didn’t want to use force but hoped he would voluntarily go to R-country with her, promising to help Mo Liu beco a top painter in Asia and even the world.
The condition was that Mo Liu had to beco her lover!
Of course, Mo Liu couldn’t agree. He’d rather never beco famous than yield to such a twisted woman!
Furthermore, even without Tanaka Baihui, with his own ability and the Mo Family’s connections, reaching the top is only a matter of ti. Why rely on soone else?
Miyazaki Shin, who had been silent, was jealous and resentful towards Mo Liu, realizing that Tanaka had genuine feelings for Mo Liu!
If Mo Liu ended up with Tanaka, would he beco fertilizer in the Sakura Garden like his predecessor?
No!
He would never allow that to happen!
He hadn’t avenged his great enemy, hadn’t enjoyed the taste of being above others! He had invested so much; it must not co to naught!
Miyazaki Shin ground his teeth; he would not allow anyone to threaten his position.
Mo Liu was later so harassed by Tanaka that it beca unbearable. He originally intended to show a cold face to Tanaka, but Sisi advised against it. Mo Liu had no abilities to protect himself, and if he provoked Tanaka too much, who knows what that psycho might do?
Let Sisi be the one to play the villain!
And so, the grudge between Sisi and Tanaka Baihui was sealed!
Sisi had beco one of the reserved fertilizers at Tanaka Baihui Sakura Garden.
However, Sisi declared she wasn’t afraid in the slightest. Who would end up as fertilizer was still unknown!
The art exhibition was trendously successful, with the highest sale being a Han Dynasty Portrait of a Lady, purchased by a Hong Kong businessman for 200,000. Originally, the businessman had his eye on Sisi’s Flower Dance Painting, but Mo Liu refused to sell, so he had to settle for the other Portrait of a Lady.
A price of 200,000 at that ti was very high, although perhaps half of the female Hong Kong businessman’s interest was due to the handso artist Mo Liu, but there’s no denying his extraordinary painting skills.
