That was why he was unwilling to bring her unnecessary trouble. Han Shuo was well aware of the status of the Shrine of Ice in Kasi Empire. Even if Sophie had a sacred knight father, once she got involved with him, she would not come to a good end.
The only thing that caught Han Shuo by surprise was Sophie's pursuit of him in public. Seeing Sophie gliding over on a pegasus, Han Shuo did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Oh, it's Miss Sophie!" People always liked a lively scene. One after another, they raised their heads to look at the beautiful Sophie riding a pegasus overhead. They could not help but shout.
With that, looking in the direction Sophie flew, Han Shuo's rapidly disappearing silhouette immediately attracted the attention of many. The pleasantly surprised expression on Sophie's face made people understand that Han Shuo's escape was not because he had done something bad. The scene of the extraordinarily handsome Han Shuo forcing a smile as he fled from Sophie's pleasantly surprised pursuit was indeed able to give rise to many wild and fanciful thoughts. As a result, everyone's thoughts went astray.
Could it be that this man was the true object of the beautiful Miss Sophie's affection?
For a moment, the crowd watching the chase and the escape had such thoughts in their minds. Looking at the prince's son, Braque, who was making a fuss over there, the commoners began to rejoice in his misfortune. They winked at each other and discussed in low voices without the slightest scruple.
"Ha, interesting. It seems that Miss Sophie has long had someone in mind."
"Yeah, yeah. It seems that Braque is delusional. I've long heard that it was his wishful thinking. He used his father's influence to get Old Sulo to agree. Now it seems that's indeed the case."
"Well, only an amiable and approachable person like Miss Sophie is a true nobleman. Although Braque's family is wealthy, they pursue fame and fortune too much. I'm afraid they are not worthy of Miss Sophie."
"…"
On the noisy street, such conversations could be heard from time to time amidst the crowd. Pairs of disdainful and gloating gazes, either directly or implicitly, were cast on Braque's luxurious carriage, as though mocking Braque's uselessness.
"Damn it! What's the background of that brat? How could someone as distinguished as Sophie know such a lowly commoner who mingles among the commoners?! " Inside the carriage, Braque could see Han Shuo's back from a distance. He accidentally overheard some remarks that infuriated him. His heart was filled with rage.
"Young Master, I've never seen or heard of that kid. I think it's just an excuse of Miss Sophie. She just wants to avoid you, young master. She doesn't want to go to the auction with you, so she did it on purpose! "The knight beside the carriage whispered.
Suddenly, an exclamation came from afar, "He's flying, he's flying, so fast!"
Braque stared blankly into the distance. Han Shuo's stalwart body abruptly broke through the air, turning into a thin line as he rapidly flew into the distance. Behind Han Shuo, Sophie, who was riding on a pure white pegasus, was in hot pursuit. Her figure gradually became a white dot, until she completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Amazing, he must be a respected Magister, maybe even a Grand Magister! No wonder, no wonder Miss Sophie is always chasing after him. Ha, only such a young and extraordinary genius magician is worthy of Miss Sophie. "
"Yeah, he's really a guy who hides his abilities! Yes, he's just like Miss Sophie, definitely an amiable and approachable nobleman. He even bought a stone from me just now. Ha, only such a character is worthy of Miss Sophie. "
"Thuram, find out who this person is!" Braque, who was in the carriage, was originally only somewhat angry. It was only when Han Shuo broke through the air and left that Braque became truly angry. He immediately ordered the knight beside him in a deep voice.
"Yes, Young Master!" Thuram was well aware of what a character who could fly meant. Now that such a character who could threaten Braque had appeared, he, as a servant, naturally knew what he should do.
Han Shuo, who had used the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens to quickly leave this area, laughed bitterly in his heart. He really did not want Sophie to provoke him. Otherwise, not only Sophie, but even her family might perish because of him. Who knew that this woman was really somewhat difficult to deal with. She clearly saw that he was deliberately avoiding her, yet she actually took the initiative to chase after him. This was really out of Han Shuo's expectations.
With one in front and one behind, the two very quickly arrived at a relatively remote and quiet street. Seeing that there was no one around, Han Shuo was about to exert his demonic arts to the extreme to shake Sophie off when he suddenly heard a light shout while panting heavily, "Han, stop right there!"
Han Shuo was stunned. Seeing that he could not shake Sophie off, in order to let her understand the situation, he looked left and right, and shuttled through this remote street at a moderate speed. After a short while, he brought Sophie, who had been chasing after him, to a spacious and quiet square.
Standing on a stone step in the square, Han Shuo finally stopped. He turned his head and smiled bitterly at Sophie who had been chasing after him, saying, "Long time no see!"
"You, why are you hiding from me?" Sophie's pegasus landed gracefully. She looked at Han Shuo in bewilderment, her face full of doubt and her tone somewhat indignant.
"That's because I don't want to bring you trouble. You've been living a good life in Kasi Empire. Once you get involved with me, you and your family will suffer a calamity," Han Shuo said in a solemn voice, fearing that Sophie would persevere in her pursuit.
Sophie was truly taken aback when she heard those words. Her pretty face immediately changed. She first looked around, and only when she saw that there was no one around did she carefully guess in a low voice, "Did you do something bad?"
Nodding, Han Shuo frankly admitted, "That's right, I did something very bad!"
"Tell me about it. My father has some influence in Kasi Empire. Perhaps I can help you!" Sophie was rather kind-hearted. Not only did she not leave immediately, she was thinking about how she could help Han Shuo.
"Forget it, your father can't help me anyway." Han Shuo flatly refused. Then, he looked at Sophie with a straight face and said, "I will be staying in Kasi Empire for some time. Don't have any contact with me. Just pretend you don't know me."
"How can I do that!" Sophie refused to comply. She said in a very loyal manner, "Back in the Dark Forest, you once saved my life. No matter what, we are still friends. Now that you are in trouble, how can I pretend not to know? Besides, I promised you back then that if you come to Kasi Empire, I will certainly treat you well. "
"I am not in any trouble. You will only be in trouble if you know," the more Sophie said so, the more Han Shuo could not let her get into big trouble, so he hastily explained.
Who knew that this woman Sophie was really persistent. After hearing what Han Shuo said, she said in all seriousness, "What trouble will I be in?! Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. Hehe, it's rare for you to come to Kasi Empire. No matter what, as your master, I have to thank you for saving my life. "
"Miss, the one I offended is the Shrine of Ice. Can you bear the responsibility?" Seeing Sophie so insistent, Han Shuo had no choice but to mention the Shrine of Ice.
As expected, when the words' Shrine of Ice 'came out, Sophie was indeed frightened. Sophie looked at Han Shuo in shock. After staring blankly for a while, she cautiously asked, "Han, what's going on? How did you offend the Shrine? I know you are a citizen of Lancelot Empire, but I don't know much about you. How did you get entangled with the Shrine? "
After hearing Sophie's words, Han Shuo realized that Sophie probably did not know his true identity. Back in the Dark Forest, Han Shuo had casually mentioned the name Brian Han. As Sophie had never heard of this name, she thought that Han Shuo had given a fake name and did not pay much attention to it. She probably did not associate the city lord of Brettel City of Lancelot Empire with Han Shuo.
"Don't worry about how I offended them. In any case, the Shrine of Ice won't let me off. You better not have anything to do with me," Han Shuo replied.
"However, as long as the Shrine can't find you, there won't be any problem. Isn't that right? " To Han Shuo's surprise, Sophie smiled craftily and took out two brown round fruits from her space ring. She handed one to Han Shuo and confidently explained, "This is a gift from a friend of mine. As long as you rub it and apply it to your face, you can change the shape of your face and skin color. No one will be able to tell."
As she spoke, Sophie showed the fruit to Han Shuo. She slowly rubbed the fruit in her hands. When it had turned into a sticky substance, Sophie pointed at her own pretty face and slowly smeared the sticky substance on her face. Then, she began to rub the corners of her cheeks in front of Han Shuo.
It seemed that this was definitely not Sophie's first time doing this. Without using any mirrors, she relied purely on practice. In just a short while, her appearance had undergone a tremendous transformation. Sophie's fair skin had turned the color of wheat. The contours of her cheeks had also changed. From a pretty girl, she had turned into an ordinary girl. Even the skin of her neck and hands had changed.
Some pharmacists had exceptional control over their medicines. In fact, Han Shuo also had this kind of medicine called the Transfiguration Fruit. Back then, it was Cecilia who gifted it to Han Shuo. On this trip to Kasi Empire, Han Shuo did not use the Transfiguration Fruit because he was not afraid of being exposed.
"Hah, isn't it magical? You definitely can't recognize me now!" Sophie, who had changed her face, exclaimed proudly. She then walked to Han Shuo, took out a small mirror and faced it at Han Shuo. She smiled and said, "Hurry up, as long as you use the fruit to change your appearance, no one will recognize you. The Shrine of Ice won't be able to find you, and naturally, they won't be able to implicate me."
Even the ingredients had been prepared. Han Shuo really could not find a reason to refuse. He had no choice but to rub the Transfiguration Fruit with a bitter smile. When the medicine dissolved into a sticky substance, he slowly smeared it on his face according to Sophie's instructions.
However, Han Shuo was clearly not an expert at this. The stretching of his muscles would often make his face look sinister and ferocious. Sophie watched as Han Shuo still could not adjust his appearance to her satisfaction. Seeing that the effects of the medicine were about to wear off with time, she hesitated for a moment before saying bashfully, "Let me help you!"
Without waiting for Han Shuo to agree, Sophie suddenly extended her slender jade-like hands and abruptly placed them on Han Shuo's cheeks. Based on her familiarity and understanding of the Transfiguration Fruit, Sophie began to change Han Shuo's chiseled cheeks little by little.
Although the skin color of Sophie's hands had changed, when they landed on Han Shuo's cheeks, they were still warm and smooth. Especially when Sophie was still using her palms to rub, as if she was flirting with a lover, it gave Han Shuo a strange feeling.
Sophie was obviously a bit embarrassed as well. Although the blush on her face couldn't be seen due to the change in her skin tone, Han Shuo caught a glimpse of her bashfulness from her eyes.
"Alright, what do you think?" Just as Han Shuo was letting his imagination run wild, Sophie suddenly stopped and proudly took credit.
In the mirror in Sophie's hands, a face that Han Shuo was unfamiliar with appeared. This person had a round chin and thick cheeks, a face that only a fat person should have. Looking at the face in the mirror, Han Shuo could not help but think of Little Fatty Jack.
"Eh, I really don't look like much!" Han Shuo looked at the face in the mirror and answered honestly with a wry smile.
The fat face in the mirror smiled, simple and honest. No matter how you looked at it, it looked honest. This made Han Shuo think of Little Fatty Jack. Because of this, Han Shuo's wry smile became even more pronounced.
"Let me tell you, only fat people don't attract attention! Hehe, really, there are fat people all over the streets, no one would think of your original appearance. " Sophie explained very professionally, and then added with a smile, "Also, the corners of your face are too prominent and not easy to disguise. This is the only way to cover up the corners with fat. Ha, I didn't think that you would be so cute after becoming fat! Hehe! "
Seeing Sophie's giggling face, Han Shuo felt that Sophie was purposely making him look fatter, as if she'd be happier if he was uglier. "Up to you, I'll do whatever you say." Han Shuo did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said helplessly.
"Here, stuff this into your stomach!" Sophie took out a small pillow from her space ring and handed it to Han Shuo with a smile. She explained, "A fat person … has to have a big belly, or else he wouldn't be called a fat person!"
As she spoke, a trace of a sly smile flashed through Sophie's eyes, which Han Shuo just happened to catch.
With this, Han Shuo could be sure that Sophie had indeed done it on purpose. However, because Han Shuo knew that Sophie did not have any ill intentions, and his face was already fat anyway, he did not say anything. He took the small pillow from Sophie and stuffed it into his clothes, forming a slightly protruding belly just like that.
"Ha, not bad, not bad at all. Look!" Seeing that Han Shuo's belly was protruding, Sophie laughed with obvious malice. She held a mirror in her hand and looked at Han Shuo's belly, even smugly patting Han Shuo's belly. She laughed as she said, "I'll forgive you now. Let's see if you still dare to run away as soon as you see me like I'm the plague!"
It was only now that Han Shuo understood why Sophie had done this. It turned out that this was all revenge for Han Shuo's dodging earlier. It looked like women were indeed very vengeful. Even a kind-hearted woman like Sophie was no exception. She had used this kind of prank to punish Han Shuo.
As expected, one should not offend women, and beautiful and kind-hearted women were no exception! Han Shuo smiled wryly as he lamented.
"Alright, as long as you change your clothes and deliberately hunch your back, absolutely no one will be able to recognize you!" Sophie stopped laughing and looked at Han Shuo with satisfaction as she gave a suggestion to make her work even more perfect.
Han Shuo reluctantly took out a new jacket. He had originally planned to have Sophie avoid his body, but when he remembered her prank earlier, Han Shuo had a bad heart. He pretended as if nothing had happened and took off the original jacket in front of Sophie.
Han Shuo's upper body was only covered in a sturdy warrior's robe. As soon as this outer robe was taken off, his majestic naked body was immediately revealed. His perfect physique had an aura as sharp as a blade's edge, and was filled with the unique charm of a man.
Sophie was stunned as she stared blankly at Han Shuo's majestic naked body. Her eyes were filled with amazement and a trace of intoxication. She had probably never seen such a perfect physique before, and couldn't even react for a moment.
Suddenly, Sophie came to her senses and hastily turned around with a pale face. She stomped her feet and said angrily, "Bastard, how can you act like this in front of me? You're infuriating!"
Seeing Sophie so flustered, Han Shuo suddenly felt incomparably carefree in his heart. The bad luck from before had all been washed away. He chuckled and said, "Heh heh! I'm not even afraid of being taken advantage of, so what are you afraid of? "
"You, you bastard! I knew you weren't a good person before, and now it looks like it was indeed so! " Sophie angrily rebuked Han Shuo, and then muttered to herself in a low voice, "This guy's physique is really good!"
When he heard Sophie's words, Han Shuo suddenly recalled the time the two had spent together in the Dark Forest. His heart couldn't help but flutter.
"Hmph, are you done changing? If you're done, then quickly go back! "Sophie's back was facing Han Shuo as she asked hatefully.
"I'm done, where are we going?" Han Shuo was surprised.
Turning around, Sophie said matter-of-factly, "The auction, of course. What place in Kasi Empire could be more lively than the auction today?"
"Alright!" Han Shuo thought to himself that this was exactly what he wanted and readily agreed.
