Chapter 143 Taking Human Skin
Chapter 143 Taking Human Skin
Jing Han was taken aback: "What are you going to do?"
"What do you think?" Yunyi glanced at him sideways.
"I think... you can do whatever you want, since they're your people anyway..."
"Stop!" Yun Yi was exasperated. "What are you thinking about? Put away your inappropriate thoughts. I have something important to tell you."
Jing Han quickly straightened his expression: "Boss, give your orders."
“It’s like this…” Yunyi hesitated for a moment, then dismissed everyone else. “I want you to impersonate someone.”
"who?"
"Huo Qingyuan."
"Who?" Jing Han stood up abruptly in surprise.
"Sit down, sit down. You're so easily startled. You've obviously never experienced anything." Yunyi rolled her eyes. "It's Huo Qingyuan, the commander of Longxi Prefecture, Commander Huo who commands two thousand men."
"What's going on?" Jing Han's expression turned slightly grave. "Where is he?"
Yunyi simply recounted the matter.
"You...you mean you crippled a fourth-rank military officer?"
"Yes," Yunyi nodded. "Jinghan, you won't report me, will you?"
"No." Jing Han quickly shook his head. "I'm just too surprised. You know, Huo Qingyuan was the top martial arts champion back then, his kung fu..."
"Stop talking nonsense. He's already ruined. He's locked up in a secret room in his study. Now tell me if you're going to do it or not. If you don't, I'll have to find someone else."
“Do it!” Jing Han nodded hurriedly. “I have to do this because I’m familiar with the military camp.”
"Ok?"
"I once worked as a cook in the army for a few months, helping out a sick cook, so..."
“Then I’ll make you a mask.” Yunyi nodded. “But using his own face would be too cruel, so… I can only find a dead person in a mass grave. You don’t mind, do you?”
"I don't mind." Jing Han felt a complex mix of emotions. Just how much did this woman know? Of course, he asked the question without thinking.
"What did I say? This..." Yunyi's mind raced for a moment, "You might as well ask me what I don't know, because I know so much."
Three thousand small worlds, which means she has experienced three thousand lives, each of which is different. So, to be conservative, she knows three thousand skills. Moreover, each person knows more than one skill.
"Then what can't you do?" Jing Han readily agreed.
"Hehe, if I had to say what I'm worst at, it would probably be... acting cute." Yunyi rubbed her nose. "They say that women who can act cute have the best lives, but I'm really not good at it."
She herself is impressed with herself; whenever she acts coquettishly, she gets goosebumps first.
In the three thousand small worlds, she had been a lot of weak and helpless women, and many of the original owners of those bodies could act coquettishly. But every time she took over a body, the woman made of water instantly turned into someone made of cement.
She had reflected on it, but after thinking it over, the thought of speaking in a sweet, coquettish voice to a man would instantly give her goosebumps, and she wouldn't be able to do anything. So, it would be more satisfying to carry two bags of cement than to act coquettishly.
In several different dimensions, the mission was to make her gentle and tender, melt the male lead's heart, make him dote on her, and eventually grow old together. That would be considered a success, and she succeeded in the end, but she always managed to beat the male lead into submission.
Sixteen had once been depressed because of her masculine nature. During that time, her mind was constantly racing, which caused her to suffer from insomnia. It was on that occasion that she managed to block out Sixteen with her strong willpower.
As a result, she ignored it, and Sixteen healed itself.
But those days are best left unremembered.
Jing Han's lips twitched. He glanced at Yun Yi and awkwardly raised his hand to touch his nose: "Well... hehe, not all men like women who act coquettishly."
"It doesn't matter, my man is already dead anyway, so whether I act cute or not doesn't matter."
"What if he's not dead?" Jing Han quickly added.
"Huh? You know him?" Yun Yi's eyes widened instantly. "Or, you are him?" You know what, the Xia Tianyin from the original owner's memories really does look a bit like this Jing Han. "Why don't you shave your beard so I can take a look?"
"Don't joke around." Jing Han chuckled awkwardly. "Besides, if I shave this beard, how am I supposed to impersonate Huo Qingyuan?"
Huo Qingyuan also had a full beard, but not as exaggerated as Jing Han's.
"Whatever you want." Yun Yi said it casually. Although she felt that Jing Han did seem familiar from the beginning, the original owner of this body was unreliable and had no good feelings towards Xia Tianyin. They lived under the same roof for several months, but she never even glanced at him. As a result, when she thought of that man now, her impression of him was very vague.
However, even if this Jing Han is indeed the missing Xia Tianyin, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the two have no feelings for each other, so she won't feel deceived or anything.
After all, the Xia family originally bought her with the intention of having her help take care of the children, but in the end, she became the one being served. They never mistreated her.
Now that she's here and is working hard to make her life better, she's repaid the Xia family's kindness. So when she leaves in the future, she can leave with a clear conscience.
"When will it be over?" Jing Han stroked his beard. "If a commander doesn't show up for a long time, it will be because of the unrest."
"Tomorrow, I'll try to finish making the mask tonight." Yun Yi waved her hand, then turned and left the Yun residence.
She went to a coffin shop and ordered two coffins and a lot of paper money, asking the shop assistants to deliver them directly to a location in the suburbs.
After the men left, she put the coffin into her spatial storage and then went to the mass grave.
There were so many dead people in Longxi Prefecture that the mortuary couldn't hold them all. Basically, once someone died, they were all thrown into a mass grave unless their relatives inquired about their whereabouts.
Therefore, it is easy to find a few human skins.
Yunyi certainly wouldn't do it for nothing. Even if it was a dead person, she wouldn't take it for free. Although she couldn't communicate with spirits now, she could still ensure the body was laid to rest. She would burn enough money for the journey and then recite the Rebirth Mantra, hoping the person could be reborn into a better life in the next life.
"Boss, there's really no need for that. After all, even if you don't do anything, they'll eventually rot or end up in the mouths of those vultures and shrews."
Even so, I still want to live with myself. After kowtowing twice more to the two graves, Yunyi prepared to leave the mass grave.
"Hey boss, wait a minute!" Sixteen suddenly exclaimed.
Yunyi shuddered in fright, raising her hand to rub her head, which was still buzzing from the shock: "You'd better have something important to say, otherwise..."
