"Why are there no red spots on my face?" Mu Ning couldn't believe it. She pinched her face hard, and was shocked to find that the little face in the bronze mirror was still sallow, and there were no traces left at all because of her strength.
Jian Muchen looked at the stunned look of the girl who was soaked in the medicinal soup, his eyes narrowed, and he was silent in thought.
"Holy crap! Is it a fake face?" Mu Ning pinched and pinched her left hand, then took a mirror and looked down her neck.
She had long discovered that the skin on her neck and face was sallow and dull, but the skin on her body was white and tender, as if water would come out if she pinched it.
Mu Ning had her doubts, but she touched her neck and face all over and couldn't find any flaws. Even the area where the skin color changed on her neck was perfectly sealed. She rubbed it for a long time without a wrinkle.
"It's a human skin mask!" Jian Muchen said solemnly.
Although he didn't understand the meaning of the word "fuck" in Mu Ning's mouth, his intuition told him that it seemed to be a curse word, and Jian Muchen couldn't help but frown.
In fact, when Mu Ning came to Feifeng Tower for the first time, Jian Muchen had already discovered that her face was fake. However, although he was interested in her at that time, he was not that concerned about her, so he did not take advantage of her while she was unconscious.
Take off her mask.
"What? Human skin mask?" Mu Ning was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then stood up from the bathtub with an "ouch" sound.
Mu Ning's movement was too sudden. As soon as she stood up, the medicinal soup in the bathtub splashed. Ren Jian Muchen reacted quickly, and a few drops of water were splashed on the mask.
Those few drops of water instantly slid down his silver mask and onto his exposed lips.
Jian Muchen's face turned dark, and the aura around his body instantly became cold.
Over there, Mu Ning was in shock. She didn't even notice that she had offended Master Jian. She held her face in pain and wailed, "It's over, it's over, who is so wicked and covered my face with a piece of ass skin! Ah,
No more alive!"
Jian Muchen's eyes trembled, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Mu Ning turned her head, with a look of depression and sadness, "Didn't you say that the mask on my face is a human skin mask?"
"Yes!" Master Jian stiffly wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth, cherishing his words like gold.
"That's it, isn't it? Aren't these human skin masks made of dead people's butt skin?" Mu Ning just thought that her face was covered with a piece of skin peeled off from someone's butt.
I feel like life is already hopeless.
"Who told you that human skin masks are made of human butts?!" Jian Muchen felt veins popping up on his forehead. He had always been so cold-hearted and he couldn't help but want to get angry at this moment.
"It's said in martial arts novels!" Mu Ning heard Jian Muchen's tone, and it seemed that it was not what she imagined. Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, "Isn't it?! Ah, let me just say, martial arts novels are all nonsense!"
Mu Ning then seemed to remember something again, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she said happily, "Ah, then master, please peel off this skin for me quickly, maybe I will be as beautiful as a flower that will conquer the whole country!"
The corners of Jian Muchen's eyes twitched again, and a flash of frustration flashed in his eyes. This woman's mood changed too quickly. Just now she looked like she was going to call him by his first name and get angry with him. How could she be so happy in an instant as if she was poisoned by a strange poison?
It's not her?
However, Jian Muchen is now very curious about the face under Mu Ning's human skin mask. This woman is really different from any woman he has seen in his life.
She was said to be smart, but sometimes she was stupid. She was said to be brave, but she was so brainless that she ran to save the old woman, the Queen Mother, regardless of her own danger.
However, such a stupid, ugly and brainless woman made him unable to forget those dazzling eyes from the first time he saw her.
Thinking of this, Jian Muchen's heart trembled for no reason, and an invisible dark light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Ning's hands that were rubbing her little face, and said in a deep voice, "
Don't move!"
After saying that, Jian Muchen picked up a few small jade bottles on the side, poured out some liquid that was either transparent or milky white, rubbed it with his big palms, and rubbed it on Mu Ning's face without ceremony.
Mu Ning felt that her face had turned into a ball in the hands of Master Jian. She was rubbing it round and flattening it almost out of shape. Her eyes were filled with anger. She was about to explode when she suddenly remembered what Jian Muchen had just said.
In an instant, the light in Mu Ning's Qingli eyes suddenly changed, and finally settled down.
Forget it, she can bear it!
Who told her to ask for help from others!
Mu Ning puffed up her mouth and glared at the cold-breathing man in front of her, thinking to herself: Humph, Jian Muchen, just wait, one day I will stand up and take charge, then I will wait and see how I will *Jian Muchen's master!
Jian Muchen saw the change in Mu Ning's expression. His expression remained unchanged, but a subtle smile flashed across his eyes.
However, if Master Jian knew that Mu Ning was thinking about how to rape him at this moment, I wonder if he would still be able to laugh.
Jian Muchen applied the potion on Mu Ning's face, carefully examined the skin on her face, and then gently lifted it from the lower left side of her face near her earlobe.
Mu Ning's heart suddenly started beating wildly. She stared at Jian Muchen with bright eyes, a look of hope on her face.
"She must be a beauty!" Mu Ning muttered her prayers.
Jian Muchen glanced at Mu Ning and kept moving.
However, just when he was about to slowly lift off the human skin mask, Mu Ning suddenly felt as if her face had been pricked by countless steel needles. The pain was so painful that she exclaimed, "Ah, it hurts!"
Jian Muchen also noticed something was wrong at this time. He immediately stopped his movements and applied the ointment on his palm directly to Mu Ning's uncovered left cheek.
"This human skin mask should have been ripped off Feng Jingluan's face directly. After being soaked in special potion, it has become one with your face!" After Mu Ning's expression calmed down, Jian Muchen said solemnly.
"Ah, what should I do? Do I have to hold her face forever?" Mu Ning touched her cheek, and the lifted part came back together, and she couldn't help but grimace.
However, whenever she thinks about it, it feels like she was experiencing the pain of being skinned alive. Such pain still makes her feel frightened.
"It's okay, I'll mix the potion for you!" Jian Muchen looked at Mu Ning with a strange look.
"Hey, Jian Muchen, did you see half of my face just now? Tell me, am I very beautiful?" Mu Ning has always been a person who enjoys hardships. Since she can't reveal it now, she will also
Don't think about it.
Jian Muchen looked at Mu Ning's smile that instantly turned cloudy and foggy. Behind the mask, he raised his eyebrows and pursed his beautiful lips. He said nothing.
But to Mu Ning, the look in Jian Muchen's eyes immediately shocked her, "Ah, no way? Am I still an ugly person?"
Jian Muchen remained silent, his eyes seemed solemn.
If Mu Ning had a glimmer of hope just now, it was completely shattered at this moment. Her face fell and she immediately leaned over the tub and became silent.
Hey, she has almost lost her temper. Why are all the other time-travelers so beautiful and surrounded by handsome men? They have everything they want. But when it is her turn, she was not allowed to live a good life in her previous life, yet she is forced to dress like this.
A woman of unknown origin!
That's fine, but at least I have to give her a good look!
What a cheat!
"Soak for an hour and let Qingxue apply the medicine on you!" Jian Muchen did not stay any longer. He said in a cold voice, turned around and went out.
Mu Ning looked at Jian Muchen's cold back, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason.
Jian Muchen came out of the room and stood in the courtyard. The moonlight fell on him, and his black clothes seemed to blend into the darkness.
Feifeng Tower is full of exotic flowers and herbs, and there is a vast medicinal garden behind the courtyard. There is a faint medicinal fragrance floating in the dark night air.
Under the moonlight, Jian Muchen lowered his head and focused his cold gaze on his outstretched hand.
His hands are very beautiful, with broad palms, long fingers, well-defined joints, and calluses on the fingertips and palms. At first glance, it looks like a hand that has been holding a sword all year round.
However, although Jian Muchen was looking at his hands, his gaze had already passed through those hands and he was looking somewhere.
There was also an indescribable shocking fire in his cold eyes. Although it was just a glimpse, and he had not seen her true appearance, for some reason, his heart was beating so wildly, especially when
He applied ointment to her cheeks, and the skin under his tentacles was as tender as fresh snow, so smooth that he couldn't put it down.
Jian Muchen couldn't even imagine whether he would be able to remain as calm as he was today when he really saw her face.
"Master?" Luoying walked out of the darkness and stood beside Jian Muchen, with worry in his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Jian Muchen withdrew his hand, his fiery gaze also covered with frost.
"Um, Miss Feng San..." Luoying seemed to hesitate, "Didn't Master say that she might be a descendant of the Phoenix God Clan? But..."
"But what?" Jian Muchen stood with his hands behind his hands. Only a few people knew about him and Mu Ning, and these people were all people he trusted.
"Master, if Miss Feng San is the moon girl of the Phoenix God Clan, shouldn't she be immune to all poisons?" Luo Ying was really worried. The master's poison could not be delayed any longer. Over the years, they have searched all over the world.
, they couldn't find all the medicinal materials needed to cure the poison. Now they finally had hope, but the poisoning of Feng Jingluan tonight made them suspicious again.
"She is not poisoned!" Jian Muchen said concisely and to the point.
"Ah?" Luoying opened his mouth in shock. He didn't know what to say. When the master came out with Feng Jingluan in his arms just now, he saw with his own eyes the spreading red spots on her arms, such obvious symptoms.
The master actually opened his eyes and lied, saying that she was not poisoned?
However, Luo Ying was also confused. His master's medical skills were inherited from Shennong Valley. Apart from the monsters from Shennong Valley, there is probably no one who can surpass him in this world.
Therefore, with the master's medical skills, he should not be so blind!
Luoying was full of doubts here, but Jian Muchen didn't want to explain to him.
Qingxue had been waiting there uneasily. When she saw Jian Muchen coming out, she immediately came over and knelt down suddenly.
"Tonight Qingxue made her own decisions and broke the rules. Please forgive me, Master!"
The reason why the Snow Dragon Sect can become the overlord in the eyes of people in the world is, firstly, because it is powerful enough. Just the top ten masters under Jian Muchen are enough to dominate most of the world. Secondly, it is because of its strict discipline. Once it is violated, it will bring consequences.
The punishment will be very severe.
What Qingxue did tonight indeed exceeded the rules, so she was prepared to be punished.
However, when Jian Muchen heard Qingxue's words, he just looked at her indifferently and said, "Get up!"
Just these three simple words, Jian Muchen said no more, his black robe fluttered, and in the blink of an eye his figure disappeared into the night.
Qingxue was stunned. She never expected that the master would let her go.
Guo Shan walked over from the side and stood next to Qingxue, who was still kneeling on the ground. His expression was solemn, "Master, are you attracted to that girl?"
"How is it possible?! Don't talk nonsense!" Luoying suddenly shot over with a sharp glare, "How could the master's taste be so bad?! He doesn't like so many plump, plump, and pretty little beauties in Feixue Tower. How come he doesn't like it?"
Maybe he likes that ugly girl?!"
Luoying always liked beauties, and he usually didn't look at people like Feng Jingluan, so he was very puzzled as to why his master looked at this ugly girl in a different light.
Even if you want to get her blood, you don’t have to get into the drama so deeply!
…
Mu Ning soaked in the medicinal soup for an hour. During this period, Qingxue came in and added hot water several times. Mu Ning felt that all her clothes were soaked and uncomfortable, so she took them off completely.
After taking off her clothes, Mu Ning discovered that the red spots that had almost spread all over her body had gradually faded away, and she couldn't help but feel happy.
I really didn’t expect that although Jian Muchen was always cold and kept away from strangers and was not easy to get along with, his medical skills were really not just for show!
Maybe it won't be long before she can lose this fake face.
But when Mu Ning thought that even if she tore off this human skin mask, she would still be an ugly monster, she couldn't help but become more frustrated.
Mu Ning was lying on her bed while Qingxue was applying ointment all over her body. The ointment was cool and felt extremely comfortable when applied on her body.
After a tiring day, the itchy attack consumed Mu Ning too much energy, so while Qingxue was applying medicine to her, Mu Ning fell asleep.
In the haze, Mu Ning felt a cold breath approaching, and Qingxue's soft touch was replaced by a rough big palm.
At this time, Mu Ning was naked, just lying on the couch, with only a thin quilt covering her waist and legs, which barely covered her beautiful bulge.
Her slender body, her skin was like jade, and the faded red marks were like plum blossoms blooming in the snow, with a hint of enchanting grace.
She tilted her head and closed her eyes. Her eyelashes were as thick as a fan and black as feathers. Although her facial features were plain, they seemed to have a special attraction.
Her neck is slender, her shoulders are slender, and the curve of her back suddenly tucks in when it reaches her waist, creating an extremely beautiful arc, and an even more beautiful garden is hidden under the thin quilt.
Jian Muchen's eyes suddenly darkened, and he slowly looked down, caressing the straight and slender legs, and finally landed on the pair of jade feet that seemed to be carved from beautiful jade...
Mu Ning slept very unsteadily during this sleep. She always felt as if there was a fire burning around her. The flames burned into her feet, causing a slight pain like a burning fire.
The itchy and slightly painful feeling made Mu Ning couldn't help but frown...

Almost at the moment when night fell, in a corner room of the post house where envoys from various countries lived, a lamp was like a bean, and a suspicious voice sounded.
"Poisoned?"
"Yes! As soon as Miss Feng San returned to Lingyang Hou Mansion, she had red spots all over her body. She was poisoned by rue poison." The speaker was a man with a hoarse voice. It was in Shuanghua after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in the afternoon. The envoy from the Bailing Kingdom, Husky, stopped Mu Ning outside the palace and spoke to her.
"Could it be that she is not the person we are looking for?" The man from before paused and seemed a little disappointed.
"My subordinates are also very strange," Husky whispered. "My subordinates once found a female corpse under the cliff of Miss Mu*. The female corpse had been eaten by wild beasts, leaving only a head, but there was No shame!"
This husky is the confidant of Bu Qingcheng, the eldest prince of Bailing Kingdom in southern Xinjiang, so naturally the only one he can call his master is Bu Qingcheng.
"Then how are you sure that the female corpse is not Ah Ning?!" Bu Qingcheng lowered his voice. He came to Daqian this time because he received the news from Husky and came to look for Mu Ning.
In order to cover up his whereabouts and avoid being discovered by Bu Qinglan's people, he disguised himself. Moreover, he had just arrived today.
"My subordinates were not sure at first, but if Yue Nu dies, the Yaoguang star will inevitably dim. I watched the stars at night and found that the Yaoguang star did dim more than three months ago. However, just half a month ago, it suddenly became brighter. , so my subordinates guessed that Yue Nu is still alive in the world!" Husky said.
"So you think the one who died is the real Feng Jingluan, and the one in Lingyang Houfu now is A Ning?" Bu Qingcheng frowned. Under the light, he had a handsome face and gentle eyes, but his expression was very poor. It seems that she is seriously ill, "But if she is really Ah Ning, why was she poisoned?"
Bu Qingcheng coughed after saying a few words, and his face gradually turned pale.
"Master, forgive me. I don't understand, this subordinate!" Cold sweat broke out on Husky's head. He also regretted that he informed the eldest prince of the news before he could verify it clearly. He also bothered the eldest prince to travel thousands of miles and sleeplessly from southern Xinjiang. Arrive at the Imperial City.
If something goes wrong with the eldest prince's health, then he will definitely be blamed for his death.
"That's all!" Bu Qingcheng waved his hand with sad eyes, "I heard that her and Ah Ning's personalities are also different... How could Ah Ning sing like her..."
"Master, your health is in critical condition!" Husky said worriedly.
"It's all Bu Qinglan, that beast. It's all in vain that A Ning devoted all her efforts to him, and he actually conspired with Bai Yun'er to murder A Ning!" Suddenly a sharp and sharp light flashed across Bu Qingcheng's eyes, and he said angrily.
Just because he was a step late, he could only watch her being stabbed through the heart by Bai Yun'er, and the words Bu Qinglan said wiped out her last hope.
Just thinking about the scene of that slender figure rising from the high cliff made him feel terrified.
That moment of intense heartache has become his nightmare every night for months.
When Bu Qingcheng became angry, his pale face suddenly turned abnormally red. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and suddenly coughed violently, "Cough cough cough..."
"Master!" Husky panicked when he saw the blood streaks on Bu Qingcheng's handkerchief in the water. He quickly brought a cup of hot tea and handed it to Bu Qingcheng, "I believe that Miss Mu is a lucky person, and she must still be alive in the world! As long as she is alive!" If she is still alive, Cloud Atlas will never fall into the hands of the prince!"
Bu Qingcheng drank the cup of hot tea, and his violent coughing was relieved slightly.
He raised his eyes, his gentle eyes as firm as ever, just like the way he looked when he first saw Mu Ning on Luofi Mountain in southern Xinjiang many years ago, "I also believe that Ah Ning is definitely still alive. This time, I must be better than Bu Qing."
Lan finds her first!"

At the same time, in an ordinary inn in the Xicheng District of the Imperial City, two men with tall noses and deep eyes who did not look like they were from the Central Plains were kneeling on the ground, reporting something to a thin black figure standing at the window.
"Poisoned?" The black figure seemed to be very surprised after hearing the news that Mu Ning was poisoned.
"Yes, leader! I have seen it with my own eyes, and there is no lie! Feng Jingluan is indeed poisoned!" the older man said respectfully.
