Serving justice wasn't something Xu Que liked to do. If he did, it was mostly to act tough.
Ever since he entered this Xianxia world and obtained the Acting Tough System, this guy was either acting tough or on his way to act tough!
After deducing that the Fire Empire's carriages were being chased, Xu Que immediately conducted a search.
Unfortunately, he didn't even know who was sitting in the carriages.
After a few hours, apart from finding a few corpses in the forest, Xu Que didn't find anything. He laid down on a tree and sighed.
"Oh my god, I just wanted to act tough in peace. Is it really that hard?"
He shook his head and entered the system interface. He started searching in the system store.
A few days ago, after destroying the Phaseless Faction, the act tough points he had on hand had increased to more than 400 points. It was considered a small amount and he decided to look for a tracking device.
After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find it. Instead, he saw a new treasure in the miscellaneous items category.
[High Grade Human Skin Mask]:
Created by the Thousand Faced Young Master, "Wang Lianhua", it has a strong ability to change one's appearance. Able to change one's appearance to be so lifelike that it's hard to tell the real from the fake. (This item is ineffective against Infant Transformation Stage cultivators and above!)
Price: 200 act tough points!
"Damn, are you trying to rob me? A human skin mask for 200 act tough points? That's even more expensive than a Heaven ranked skill?" Xu Que stared with his eyes wide open.
For such an expensive item, it would usually come with a special skill. However, this so-called "High Grade Human Skin Mask" seemed to have no other attributes other than the ability to change one's appearance. The only thing that made sense was that this item was only ineffective against Infant Transformation Stage cultivators and above.
In other words, if he were to wear this human skin mask, even Infant Transformation Stage cultivators wouldn't be able to see his true appearance.
"Ding! The High Grade Human Skin Mask can customize one's appearance according to the host's requirements. After the appearance is determined, the system will evaluate and calculate the additional attributes." At this time, the system replied in Xu Que's mind.
"Eh? As expected, there are Attribute bonuses. Not bad. Does it increase Strength or Speed?" Xu Que's curiosity was piqued.
"This mask will only provide two attributes, Charm and Luck. Based on the host's current state, the system recommends that you purchase it!"
What the hell? Recommend me to buy it?
Xu Que was immediately displeased. "Pfft! With my temperament and appearance, do I still need to increase my Charm? Are you kidding me? I can charm a lot of girls just by walking out! "
"According to the judgment, you will be going through a Heavenly Tribulation in Hard Mode in seven days. Your Luck Points will have extraordinary effects!" the system replied.
Xu Que was taken aback for a moment before he said in realization, "So you're talking about luck. Is this thing reliable? I can't see it or touch it. Who knows what use it has! "
That being said, Xu Que was still a little tempted.
It was true that Luck Value could not be seen or touched, but once it was unleashed, it was unstoppable.
Xu Que pondered for a moment before he gritted his teeth and decided to buy it!
"It just so happens that I can't find the people in the carriage now. Why don't I buy a Human Skin Mask and add some Charm and Luck Points to it? Then I can find them and act tough a few more times. Not only can I recoup my costs, I can even earn more. Damn, I'm such a genius!"
Xu Que immediately chose to purchase the Human Skin Mask!
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully purchasing the 'Advanced Human Skin Mask'. 200 Act Tough Points have been consumed. Please simulate your appearance!"
Following the system's notification, a human face appeared in front of Xu Que's eyes. At the same time, his own appearance appeared in his mind. The mask immediately changed and synchronized with his thoughts, transforming into his own appearance.
Xu Que paused for a moment. He then thought of the faces of the popular male actors from his previous life on Earth. The Human Skin Mask immediately changed again.
"Damn, so that's how it should be used. Then I'll use Li Xiao Yao!" Xu Que thought for a moment and decided on a new appearance.
Although his appearance wasn't bad, since he had bought the mask, he couldn't waste it. Furthermore, he was about to reach the Imperial City. He couldn't possibly wear a black robe every day. It was better to have more faces.
In the end, Xu Que directly used the face of an actor named Hu Ge from his previous life on Earth. Back then, he had played the role of Li Xiaoyao, a slightly ruffian character, and became an instant hit. Later, he played the mature and steady Mei Zhangsu.
Just based on the looks and temperament of this face, it could almost control any style. It was very suitable for Xu Que!
"Do you confirm your appearance?" After choosing 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 in front of Xu Que.
Looking at the attributes of the mask, it had changed.
[Advanced Human Skin Mask]:
Created by the Thousand Faced Young Master "Wang Lianhua", it has an extremely strong disguise effect. The appearance has been confirmed and is vivid, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. (This item is ineffective against powerhouses above the Infant Transformation Stage!)
Charm + 20
Luck + 2
…
"What the hell? Only two points of luck? "
Xu Que ignored the charm and stared at the two points of luck.
However, the system didn't respond. It was silent!
Xu Que curled his lips. He could only enter the system's inventory and use the mask.
After that, he only felt a warm sensation on his face, and nothing else!
Xu Que jumped down from the tree and ran to the river not far away. When he looked at the river, his face had turned into the ancient version of Hu Ge!
After that, he thought of something and a trace of warmth flashed on his face. Then, he 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 own face and was bewildered.
Then, he realized that this was the effect of the 20 points of charm. Even he was almost mesmerized by his own face!
"Hahahaha, this is going to be fun."
Xu Que laughed out loud. Under the circumstance that he was wearing the Human Skin Mask, even if he changed back to his original face, the 20 points of charm and luck would still be on him.
With a thought, Xu Que changed back to Hu Ge's face and pulled down the hood of his black robe. He decided to temporarily use this disguise to travel to the Imperial City.
However, just as Xu Que turned around, a black shadow appeared in the river. It was getting bigger and bigger.
Then, there was a "hua" sound and a huge splash was heard. A red Blood Python dashed out and opened its mouth wide, trying to bite Xu Que.
Xu Que sensed it and reacted quickly. He cast the Lightning Haste and dodged it.
At the same time, he pulled out the Dark Heavy Buster Sword from his back and stared at the Original Infant Stage Blood Python. He scolded, "Motherf * cker! You scared me. How dare you sneak attack me. You're finished. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dark Heavy Buster Sword in his hands turned into a huge shadow which covered the sky and the earth as it flew towards the Blood Python.
"Boom!"
The majestic and terrifying aura caused the Blood Python to freeze.
However, its reaction was extremely fast. In the nick of time, it dodged the Dark Heavy Buster Sword. Without any hesitation, it turned around and ran away.
"You still dare to run?" Xu Que raised his Dark Heavy Buster Sword and chased after it.
…
…
At the same time, on the other side of the river, two ladies were hiding in a corner under a towering ancient tree. They were Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess.
However, the two of them had already disguised themselves. They had changed into coarse linen clothes from who knows where and were disguised as village girls. They had even deliberately smeared some mud on their fair faces. At first glance, it was a little hard to recognize them.
At this point, the two of them had grave expressions on their faces. Their eyebrows were furrowed as they looked around vigilantly.
"The Metal Nation is really audacious. They actually dared to attack us and even sent out so many Original Infant Stage experts. It's obvious that they want us dead!" Zi Xuan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
The Flaming Sun Princess's eyes flashed with killing intent as she replied coldly, "Those people are not ordinary Original Infant Stage cultivators. If I'm not wrong, they should be the elite assassins of Tian Sha!"
"What? They're actually Tian Sha!" Zi Xuan's expression changed.
"That's right. It's said that the Tian Sha assassins all wear white robes and red masks. Furthermore, their sword skills are exceptional. From the way they attacked just now, it's indeed Tian Sha!" The Flaming Sun Princess replied coldly.
Zi Xuan's face turned pale as she turned pale, "This Metal Nation is too generous. They actually spent a lot of money to hire Tian Sha assassins to ambush us. Princess, I'm afraid we're doomed this time."
The Flaming Sun Princess remained silent for a while before sighing, "Zi Xuan, I've implicated you this time. They only want to kill me. Later, I'll lure them away and you can leave immediately …"
"Princess, Zi Xuan used to listen to everything you said. But you should be clear that I will never listen to such matters." Zi Xuan's expression turned cold as she spoke resolutely.
The Flaming Sun Princess opened her mouth and smiled bitterly. She shook her head, "You always said that with my character, I wouldn't be able to find a Prince Consort in the future and nobody would want me. But your stubbornness isn't any worse than mine. "
Zi Xuan burst out laughing, "How can that be? Zi Xuan was just joking with you in the past. Actually, there are so many young masters in the Imperial City who want to woo you that they could line up to encircle the entire Imperial City. It's just that you're not interested in them."
"Those hedonistic young masters in the Imperial City are of the same age as me. Their cultivation levels are only at Golden Core Level Five. They're even weaker than me. They're not qualified to be my Prince Consort!" The Flaming Sun Princess replied plainly.
Zi Xuan sighed, "You always judge people based on their cultivation levels. I feel that when two people are together, it's important that their hearts are connected. You like him and he likes you. That's enough. Actually, there are some young masters in the Imperial City who are very noble. Haven't you been moved by any of them? "
The Flaming Sun Princess shook her head, "The Prince Consort in my heart should be someone who can take charge of an area by himself. His cultivation level doesn't need to be too high, but he should at least be at the Golden Core Full Foundation. When I need him, he'll always appear. For example, today's situation … "
"My Princess! Are you choosing a husband or a bodyguard? Even if a Golden Core Full Foundation Prince Consort were to appear, he wouldn't be able to change the current situation. Those people are Tian Sha's elite assassins. Every single one of them is of the Original Infant Stage. "
As Zi Xuan spoke up to this point, she paused for a moment before nodding her head.
"Unless he's a genius who possesses the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Roots, only a Golden Core Full Foundation Stage cultivator would be able to fight against an Original Infant Stage cultivator. Eh, if that Xu Que hadn't died that year, he would have met your requirements. But it's a pity … "
The Flaming Sun Princess furrowed her brows, "He's not the only one who possesses the Heavenly Spiritual Roots. I've always believed that the Prince Consort in my life would be even more outstanding!"
"Whoosh!"
Right at this point, as the both of them were speaking, a sound came from the forest ahead.
"This is … the aura of an Original Infant Stage cultivator?"
Both of their expressions changed as their beautiful eyes scanned the area ahead.
Soon after, they froze in place.
An Original Infant Stage Blood Python emerged from the forest ahead. It was twisting its body frantically as it tried to escape in all directions.
