After returning to Fengdan County and confirming that Nan Muyu had safely brought the villagers back to the village, Yue Jinghua returned the bodies of Ah Chu and his mother to Nan Muyu. Nan Muyu, holding the bodies of his wife and child, suppressed his tears and heavily said "thank you" before departing with the two bodies, one big and one small. Yue Jinghua felt a sense of melancholy and, after returning to her residence, took off the White Rhinoceros Armor and threw it aside in frustration. This scene was precisely seen by Hongling, who had entered to deliver hot water. She felt somewhat puzzled, as the lady had always liked that White Armor. "Clang--" Just as she was about to ask, the basin in Hongling’s hand fell to the ground. She opened her mouth wide, pointing at Yue Jinghua’s face from which the mask had been removed. "Miss, your face," Hongling covered her mouth, her eyes reddening as she began to sob. Seeing the fearless Hongling in such a state, Yue Jinghua’s heart skipped a beat. Oh no, back in the stone coffin, she only felt itchiness on her face, and she didn’t notice it when she descended the mountain. Could it be that the Demon Mark on the right side of her face had worsened? Although she was not someone who cared excessively about her looks, before her transmigration, she was recognized as the number one beauty spy in the spy world. After transmigrating, becoming a Yin Yang-faced invalid took some time to adjust to. If the Demon Mark on the right side of her face worsened, wouldn’t that be even worse? In the scattered light reflected by water at her feet, a face appeared, and seeing that face, Yue Jinghua was also stunned. Is this her? The mother of "Yue Jinghua," Lie Rou, was an undeniable beauty. Her father, Yue Nian, whom she had never met and who was known as a handsome man in the Empire, meant that "Yue Jinghua," having inherited both her parents’ excellent genes, had also been known as the Empire’s number one beauty before her disfigurement. But all that was before Yue Xiaoqi transmigrated. As for the Yin Yang Face caused by the Demon Mark, although Yue Jinghua didn’t care much, there wasn’t anyone in the world who truly didn’t care about their appearance. At this moment, the face in the water was distinct in its features, with thick and defined eyebrows above a pair of clear autumnal eyes, and skin smooth as satin, blushing with a delicate hue, her alluring lips blossoming like petals, seemingly a face that could cause disasters. "Miss, your face has healed, sob sob, I am so overwhelmed, I will go tell the lady and the young master, oh and the older master, and..." Hongling was overly excited, her speech becoming incoherent. Hongling was a loyal servant who had watched "Yue Jinghua" descend from the esteemed moon in the sky to what others called a "useless fanatic." Her heart had always grieved for her young lady. But now, with the young lady’s face restored, even if the marriage was cancelled, with the lady’s intelligence and beauty, going back to the Dragon War Empire, naturally there would be scions from families far superior to Fa Xiaoyi vying for her, recalling all the years of her young lady’s hardships, Hongling cried. "Stop, don’t cry, there’s no need to make a big deal out of this. To avoid attention, I will continue wearing a mask. It’s all the same whether people know or not," Yue Jinghua sighed and held her forehead, her own servant was good in everything but had too many tears and often dwelt on the past. After pushing Hongling out, Yue Jinghua took up a mirror and examined her face. For some reason, Yue Jinghua felt that the disappearance of the Demon Mark was not necessarily a good thing. This face of "Yue Jinghua," once it shed the Demon Mark, every frown and smile carried an indescribable charm. This charm was not something she put on deliberately, it seemed more like it was ingrained in her bone and blood, born with her. Such a face, if born in the ancient times, would be termed as a disaster inviting beauty. If not used properly, it could likely bring calamity. After a silent sigh in her heart, Yue Jinghua removed her clothes, loosened the chest binding she used while disguised as a man, and after dropping a few drops of the Green Liquid into the water, a white cloth fluttered down, and a well-developed torso slid into the hot water. Having spent several days in the mountains, her whole body ached, soaking in a specially made "green liquid bath" was indeed a comforting thing. The steam was thick, and in no time, a flush of red appeared on Yue Jinghua’s face. Under the shimmering water, her enchanting body intermittently revealed itself through her black hair. After undergoing enhancement from the Incubation Liquid, Yue Jinghua felt as if all the bones and meridians in her body had been remodeled, and now the same sword techniques she used were more agile than before. While making a "Cloud Stacking" move in the water, Yue Jinghua circulated her Nine Revolutions Creation Technique just like she usually did while soaking in the Green Liquid. After running the Nine Revolutions Creation for a small cycle within her body, she exhaled a breath of turbid air. At this moment, her gaze inadvertently fell on the mirror behind the dressing table. In the copper-colored mirror, a beautiful scene of a beauty bathing was reflected. Yue Jinghua was startled as a strange scene appeared on her back. As the water in the tub grew hotter, a dragon shape appeared on her back and almost at the same time, an exceptionally enchanting flower began to bloom slowly. "Splash," water splashed around, and Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but stand up. Her body cooled rapidly in the early spring chill, and the dragon-shaped pattern and the enchanting flower on her back disappeared together. The shape of that enchanting flower looked very familiar. Suddenly, Yue Jinghua recalled it was the same as the Demon Mark originally on her right face, and if she wasn’t wrong, it seemed that the size of the mark had increased a bit compared to when it was on her face. The Demon Mark had not disappeared but had moved inside her body. From the surface of the skin to being hidden inside the body, this did not seem to be a good thing. As for that dragon that appeared suddenly, what was going on there? Could it be related to the Incubation Liquid? Her thoughts became increasingly disordered, and in a rush, Yue Jinghua hurriedly put on her clothes. It was at this moment that the voice of Shalman came from outside: "Jinghua, Hongling said you were looking for me?" "I do have something for you, I found a gift in the mountains and wanted to give it to you," Yue Jinghua said with a strained smile, opening the door. Shalman was initially startled when she saw her face, not calming down until Yue Jinghua took out the Stone Coffin, which then diverted her attention. "My god, are you really giving this to me?" Shalman made an almost fainting gesture when she saw the Stone Coffin and the Incubation Liquid within. As a Cultivator, with just one glance, she recognized the miraculous effects of the Stone Coffin and the Incubation Liquid within. With this Stone Coffin, she assured that she could raise the rank of every Dark Beast in Fengdan County by at least one rank, not to mention, she could also enhance her own Five-Colored Spider and Thunder Snake. "Naturally, it’s all yours. Find Feng Chuo for the Incubation Liquid inside and study it together," seeing her joy, Yue Jinghua temporarily let go of her worries. Rather than worrying about why the Demon Mark underwent a strange transformation, it was better to focus more on the development of her territory and the treatment of the Cannibal Small Qingpu. Thinking of the Cannibal Small Qingpu still trapped in Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness, and the absent Qing Pu for many days, Yue Jinghua’s Divine Sense shifted, entering Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness.
