The hideous scars on Scarlett's face ruined her overall image and deterred most men from approaching her.
But apart from that, Scarlett had a graceful body and fair skin. She was a beauty in every way. Han Shuo could not find any flaw in her other than the scars.
He nodded inwardly and felt that Scarlett was a good match for Han Hao, especially since she was very affectionate to Han Hao and was even willing to give up the sole leadership of the Ronson Canyon for him. This made Han Shuo very satisfied. He would be happy to have such a daughter-in-law.
Scarlett was very modest and shy in front of Han Shuo due to her affection for Han Hao. She walked up to Han Shuo and lowered her head. She was a little flustered.
"Don't be nervous, it's easy to fix," Han Shuo comforted her with a smile.
He waved his left hand and a cloud of warm grey smoke enveloped Scarlett's cheeks. Then, with another thought, the energy in his palm softened the scars on Scarlett's face and slowly peeled them off.
"It's a little hot, but it doesn't matter. It will only cause the scars to peel off. I think you can endure the pain …" Han Shuo said in a relaxed manner as he moved the power of his palm around Scarlett's face.
With Han Shuo's incomparably precise control of magical yuan, he was naturally able to easily change the texture of her skin and the activity of her cells on her cheeks. This kind of scar would be difficult for an ordinary person to treat, but he was able to do it calmly.
It didn't take long for Han Shuo to withdraw his hand. He looked at the two faint red lines on Scarlett's face and smilingly said, "Look at yourself in the mirror!"
Scarlett suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Han Shuo. She awkwardly said, "I don't have a mirror."
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he came to a sudden realization. He thought that Scarlett must be afraid to look at the scars on her face and therefore did not bring a mirror with her. He smiled, took out a mirror from his space ring, handed it to Scarlett, and said, "Take a look. Remember to look at yourself in the mirror often!"
After taking a short pause, Han Shuo took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Scarlett. He instructed, "This is the medicine I prepared for Carmelita in the City of Shadows. It's suitable for you as well. Apply it on the scars every morning and night. In less than a month, even the faint red lines will disappear."
Scarlett took a deep breath when she received the medicine. She finally put the mirror in front of her face and cried out in surprise. She looked at Han Shuo with gratitude and said, "Thank you, thank you so much!"
Han Shuo waved his hand and courteously said, "I should be the one thanking you. Without your persuasion, my Han family would have been annihilated. I should be the one thanking you."
Scarlett put away the bottle of medicine with great care. She put on a bright smile and said to Han Shuo sincerely, "I will make arrangements for the Ronson Canyon. After that, I will head to the Fringe."
Han Shuo nodded and smilingly said, "The sooner the better. I believe that Han Hao will be shocked to see you. Haha."
It was in every woman's nature to love beauty. Scarlett had always felt inferior when she faced Han Hao because of the scar on her face. Now that the scar on her face was gone, her beauty was no longer compromised. Scarlett had become much more confident than before. As though she recalled the scene when she met Han Hao, Scarlett put on a bashful smile.
"By the way, what's with the scar on your face? Forgive me for being blunt, but it was obviously caused by a sharp weapon. Who did it? "Han Shuo couldn't help but ask when he saw that Scarlett was in a good mood.
"I did it myself," Scarlett hesitated for a moment before giving a shocking answer to Han Shuo.
Before Han Shuo could ask further, Scarlett explained, "Back then, my family was annihilated. All the males were killed or forced to serve as divine servants. The females were raped and sold as singers. In order to escape from this fate, I cut my face with a sharp weapon …"
Scarlett told Han Shuo about her bitter past. From her, Han Shuo learned about her tragic past.
"Is the enemy still alive?" Han Shuo's face turned dark and he softly asked.
"Haha, thank you for your kindness, but there is no need for you to do it. After I became a godhunter, I spared no effort to improve my strength. I have avenged my family many years ago, "Han Shuo said. As soon as Scarlett heard Han Shuo's words, she knew that he wanted to avenge her. She felt warm in her heart. She felt that although Han Shuo and Han Hao were cold-blooded killers, they were just as forthright and loyal to their friends and benefactors.
Han Shuo nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take my leave first. After you settle the matter in the Ronson Canyon, go to the Fringe. If anyone tries to harm you in the Fringe, just tell them my name. I don't think they will be foolish enough to harm you! "
In the Ronson Grand Canyon, Scarlett's strength could be considered decent. But the Fringe was filled with ferocious forces. Almost every leader of a small force was a highgod. An early-stage highgod like Scarlett was nothing to them. Besides, outsiders would be bullied and humiliated upon entering the Land of Chaos. They might not even be able to enter the Omphalos.
"I'll be careful," replied Scarlett in a cheerful smile. She felt that she could hang out with Han Shuo.
Without saying anything else, Han Shuo smiled and bade farewell to Scarlett before leaving.
Han Shuo had always been a person who repaid kindness with kindness. Now that he had settled the grudge between Hofs, Wallace, and the others, and Scarlett, his benefactor, had been dealt with, it was time for him to return to the Fringe.
… …
In a cold, barren, and gloomy graveyard, ghastly green phosphorescence flickered here and there. The ground was covered with white bones and mist.
Suddenly, lightning bolts flashed in a graveyard buried deep underground. A majestic figure suddenly emerged from the grave and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Suddenly, a sinister laughter sounded from an even larger grave, "Hehe, Salas, you should have recovered by now, right?"
Lightning crackled around his body and repelled the mist. Then, he stepped on an enormous skeleton and made a crisp cracking sound. Salas's eyes flashed with lightning as he looked at the grave from which the voice came. He said, "Thank you very much. Without the help of the Godhunter Alliance, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
"You're welcome. But don't forget what you promised us!" The person in the grave put on a cunning smile and said, "Tyre, Logue, and the others have occupied the Fringe for far too long. It's time for them to move. We, the Godhunter Alliance, have been drooling over such a good place for a long time!"
"Hmph, there's no place for me in the Fringe anyway. Since Tyre, Logue, and the others have agreed to let that youngster stay in the Omphalos, it means that they have acknowledged his position. To me, everyone in the Fringe is my enemy. I can't return to the Fringe anyway. What you do has nothing to do with me! "said Salas angrily. He was very dissatisfied with Tyre and Logue's actions.
"Good, very good. Salas, I heard that your enemy has left the Fringe and is now in the limelight in the Darkness and Death Dominions. Are you interested in joining hands with us to prevent him from returning to the Fringe? "suggested the person in the grave smilingly.
Salas stared blankly for a moment before he smirked and said, "That youngster comes and goes like a shadow. You can track him?"
"Three days ago, I received news that the godhunters in Ronson Canyon have been wiped out. That guy is returning to the Fringe from the Death Dominion. Hehe, this is the Death Dominion. Other than the Overgod of Death, I'm the most well-informed here. It won't be difficult for me to track him down, "said the person in the grave confidently.
Salas was obviously tempted. He hesitated for a moment and said in a rather embarrassed manner, "I have fought that guy twice. He's a very treacherous and vicious person. He's even harder to deal with than old foxes like Tyre and Logue. Especially that youngster's escaping skills are top-notch. If we can't capture him, I think we should just forget about it. That fella is a vengeful person and his strength is improving rapidly. He won't be easy to deal with. "
"Salas, don't tell me that you're afraid?" The person in the grave burst into laughter and said, "You, Salas, have dominated the Fringe for many years. Even the Hegemons of our Godhunter Alliance admire you very much and dare not enter the Fringe. That youngster was obviously just taking advantage of us. Why would you be afraid of him? Are you still the Salas we know? An eye for an eye has always been your way of doing things! "
Everyone thought that Han Shuo had taken advantage of the Godhunter Alliance. But only Salas knew that his defeat was no coincidence. He knew better than anyone else how terrifying Han Shuo was. No matter how the person in the grave tried to instigate him, Salas remained unmoved. He coldly said, "Unless you are absolutely certain that nothing will go wrong, I will not fight him head-on!"
The person in the grave kept silent for a moment as though he couldn't understand why Salas would be so cautious. But after a while, he seemed to have thought it through. He put on a mischievous smile and said, "Me, the Hegemons in charge of the Destruction and Darkness Dominions, and you. The four of us will join forces. Are you up for it?"
Salas was startled. He looked at the grave in puzzlement and bunched his brows as he asked, "What kind of grudge does he have against your Godhunter Alliance? How did he provoke the three of you to join forces? "
"One of the leaders I value the most is called Han Hao. He betrayed me after I came to the Fringe. Not only that, back in the Darkness Dominion, he led a group of people to annihilate one of our branches. Just a few days ago, he wiped out everyone in the Ronson Canyon. His existence is a serious threat to our Godhunter Alliance, especially since he is making rapid progress. We must get rid of him as soon as possible! "said the person in the grave in a sinister voice.
After taking a short pause, he continued, "With the four of us joining forces, even Tyre will die without a doubt. Are you up for it?"
Salas hesitated for a moment. When he recalled how Han Shuo annihilated Empyrean Peak, he hardened his heart and said, "Dammit, I'll do it!"
