C22 (1/2)

This was the first time Luo Yi acted alone since she came to the Northern Tribes.

The last bit of stubborn starlight mixed with a tiny bit of the morning sun draped itself over her shoulders, as if it had given her a great deal of courage.

He didn't even open his eyes. With a wave of his hand, he wanted to send the man away. ”If you want a bun, come back in two hours …”

Luo Yi also did not speak anymore, and the two of them continued walking without a word until they reached the last place in the courtyard.

Lin Xiang leaned on a rock at the side and said lazily: ”We're here.”

He pointed around the rooms and said, ”These are all rooms. Pick one if you like it, I won't accompany you in.”

He yawned again and leaned closer against the rock as he spoke. He looked like he had no bones.

Luo Yi was not polite and nodded at him before walking into one of the rooms.

Even though he had already mentally prepared himself, Luo Yi still couldn't help but feel a chill behind him when he saw the scene before his eyes. He only felt that the entire room had a ghastly and terrifying atmosphere.

However, when Lin Xiang's house was being built, he had made a mold on all three walls beforehand. Thus, when he looked at the human faces, not only were the facial features clearly visible, they were also protruding. It was a truly horrifying sight, causing Luo Yi to involuntarily take two steps back.

Thinking back to it, when Xu Heng did not tell her these details, they were afraid that she would be scared witless, but if she knew that she would personally enter the house for a day, he might as well tell her about them in advance, so as to prevent his from being scared out of his wits.

Luo Yi stopped in her tracks and took two deep breaths before she closed his eyes and started to think about the past. She tried to forcefully suppress the fear that was lingering in her heart, and then she opened his eyes and realized … It was useless.

His back that should have been cold felt waves of coldness, and the soul that should have left was also nowhere to be seen.

Luo Yi did not have the courage to stay in this room, thinking that Lin Xiang's masks were all big beauties anyways, so she closed her eyes and casually took a mask from the position closest to him, then ran out as if she was escaping.

Lin Xiang was actually not in the courtyard. He did not know what he was doing, but Luo Yi was using his hands to support the stone he had just leaned on to take big breaths of air. Who knew that before he could recover his breath, he would feel a chill on the back of his neck.

”You came out?”

The damp and cool air, combined with a faint sound, revealed an eeriness even greater than that of the room. Luo Yi suddenly turned her back on the stone, and his lower back bumped into the protruding stone protrusion, causing him to feel an excruciating pain.

Lin Xiang wiped the water droplets that were not completely wiped off his face and asked: ”What's wrong?”

Luo Yi, ”...”

”Not really,” she said as she tried her best to suppress her desire to beat him up, and showed the mask in her hand to Lin Xiang.

”Ugh …” Lin Xiang went over to take a look, and studied the outline of Luo Yi's face, before extending her hand and taking it: ”Come, I'll put it on for you.”

During the process of wearing the mask, the two of them did not speak. Lin Xiang could not bear the silence and took the initiative to speak before the atmosphere became awkward: ”I've been here for so many years, you guys are the only ones who found out my true interests.”

What hobby? Collect faces?

Luo Yi was too lazy to insult his hobby, she just happened to be unable to speak, and silently rolled her eyes.

But Lin Xiang did not point at the person in front of him and replied himself. He said those words happily, but when Luo Yi heard it, it sounded like a heavy curse in her ears, causing him to not be able to stop herself from getting sleepy. Fortunately, before she had completely fallen asleep, Lin Xiang finally stopped and raised a mirror in front of her: ”It's done.”

Hearing that, Luo Yi raised her head, her eyelashes slightly raised, as she saw a completely unfamiliar face.

Lin Xiang seemed to be very satisfied with his handiwork, and after looking up and down a few times, he could not help but nod his head proudly, praising: ”Indeed only a good-looking person can display his or her own skin so vividly, unlike the person who brought him here a few days ago, and ruined his or her appearance for nothing.”

His complaint came too suddenly, Luo Yi did not know how to reply, so he pretended not to hear it, and extended his hand towards the mirror and touched the back of his face as he said his thanks in a low voice.

”No need for thanks,” Lin Xiang waved his hand in disapproval, ”Anyway, this was an agreement that we made in advance.”

An appointment in advance?

Luo Yi immediately asked: ”What did you promise him?”

She frowned.

She only came today because she heard from Xu Heng and Liu Liangyun that this person was here to try his luck. Who would have thought that Lin Xiang was not surprised at all, it was as if he had already known that she would come.

”You don't know?” After Lin Xiang heard this, he revealed a surprised expression, ”He sold himself to me.”

”…”

Luo Yi felt that sshe had heard some kind of incredible secret, but before she could finish digesting Lin Xiang, he hurriedly waved her hands, ”This way of putting it, doesn't seem to be accurate,” he explained.

”Oh right, and yours.” Lin Xiang slowly added: ”That's why you have to take care of your face. From today onwards, it is mine, if I were to kowtow it, I won't forgive you!”

Luo Yi could not bother to think about how such a face-saving method worked. Her brows furrowed as she asked: ”So, he knew I would ask for your help?”

”It doesn't look like it …”
