Chapter 108 - 100: He Is the Great Qing’s Number 1 Assassin

Lin Li realized that he actually didn’t need to look at any tutorials at all. All he needed to do was stare at Chen Yu Ying, see what she was doing, and blindly smear stuff on his own face the same way. This was the fastest way to make progress. Chen Yu Ying didn’t look at any tutorials, so him looking at them was unnecessary. By now, it had been more than twenty minutes since Lin Li started putting on makeup. The task progress bar had moved a quarter of the way in these twenty minutes, and now it was nearly halfway. You couldn’t say it wasn’t fast. If only this makeup time could keep going. But unfortunately, Chen Yu Ying had reached the final step of makeup, dabbing a layer of hydrating grapefruit-colored lip gloss on her lips, pressing them lightly so the lovely color blended out. Lin Li followed suit—although Chen Yu Ying didn’t offer him any lip gloss, it didn’t matter; he just smeared the excess foundation on his lips. Eating a little of it was no big deal anyway. After glancing at herself a few times in the mirror, Chen Yu Ying turned to see how Lin Li was doing. Lin Li was already watching Chen Yu Ying, so at this moment, the two of them made eye contact. Makeup really was a magical thing. The streetlight’s sheen, coming through the car window, highlighted Chen Yu Ying’s face, giving her skin a near-transparent fairness. The eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes gave her clear, spring-like eyes a hint of elusive liveliness, like a deer hiding within. Lin Li’s vocabulary failed him; he didn’t know how to describe this makeup. Although it was faint, you could even call it pseudo-natural, it truly had that dazzling quality. It was probably a kind of elegant freshness. In any case, the color palette was harmonious, complementing each other and fully showcasing Chen Yu Ying’s pure vitality. Ma Xiaotiao came over, exclaiming she was like white moonlight. Xiaojing Xiaojing Xiaojing Xiaojing Xiaojing. Mentally repeating "dark secret moonlight" to himself, Lin Li’s expression remained calm, his cultivator’s steady heart still firm. As for Chen Yu Ying, who was not a cultivator, her mind was not so steady. Just as she wanted to speak, seeing Lin Li’s face with his imitation makeup, she stopped short. Then the whole of Chen Yu Ying started trembling, holding her mouth tightly as the full moon shattered into two crescents, reflecting in her eyes. Her trembling body became unstable, collapsing into Ding Sihan’s arms, still shaking. Lin Li chuckled softly. Clearly, the class president was completely captivated by his charm, almost fainting. It would be better if Chen Yu Ying could control her laughter a bit. Otherwise, Lin Li felt a bit unconvincing when trying to deceive and comfort himself. And Ding Sihan, who had been ’attacked,’ had just finished her makeup too, so she also turned to look at Lin Li. Her laughter was neither ladylike nor contained nor did it possess any decorum. "Lin Li, what kind of makeup did you do! Hahaha!" The commotion in the front was making Bai Bufan curious. He stood up, leaning over to see Lin Li’s face, nearly spitting out a mouthful of water. Fortunately, Lin Li was prepared and slapped it aside, so the saliva sprayed onto Zhou Baowei’s face beside him. But Zhou Baowei didn’t lose out too much because as Lin Li slapped at Bai Bufan, he turned his head to the back, so when Zhou Baowei saw Lin Li, he also sprayed water onto Bai Bufan’s face. You could only say they were in a crazy exchange of bodily fluids. Wishing them eternal happiness and growing old together. Laughter gradually began to spread outward from the center. Feeling indignant, Lin Li picked up the small mirror on the table and looked at himself, and then he was relieved. No way to fake it, this was genuinely ugly. Lin Li realized one thing: when he was putting on makeup, he was so focused on following Chen Yu Ying’s steps that he didn’t pay attention to whether he put things in the right places on his face. He ended up laughing too. "Lin Li, come on, let’s take a selfie!" Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei leaned out from behind, holding a phone with the front camera on. Lin Li had no fear of the camera, confidently flashing a peace sign. He was the kind of guy who’d get busted in a sweep and still be beaming at the camera; what did he care about an ugly photo? Beside him, Chen Yu Ying and Ding Sihan finally calmed down a bit, sitting up straight. "Can we take a selfie too?" There was still some laughter in Chen Yu Ying’s voice. "Of course you can." Lin Li had long arms. He took Chen Yu Ying’s phone, extended it toward the window, and snapped a few photos of the three of them together. After taking the photos, Lin Li zoomed in on his own part, studied it carefully, and seriously said to Chen Yu Ying: "Class president, I think inner beauty is more important, don’t you?" That statement finally dissolved Chen Yu Ying and Ding Sihan’s attempts to stifle their laughter. Lin Li gently smiled too. He was also quite happy, as there was nothing embarrassing about this. Lin Li was even sure this would become a cherished memory in the future. Especially when he saw the task progress bar rapidly rising, he felt even more delighted. It seemed the system couldn’t account for Lin Li deliberately guiding Chen Yu Ying’s actions, but it acknowledged the butterfly effect triggered by this mimicry. "It’s okay, just try harder next time." Tired from laughing, Chen Yu Ying rubbed the corners of her mouth, half-heartedly comforting Lin Li. "There probably won’t be a next time." Lin Li chuckled. "Can I post this picture to my Moments?" Chen Yu Ying looked at the selfie on her phone and asked. "Of course, go ahead." Lin Li didn’t mind and was even starting to look forward to one thing: whether his good buddy (nap time version) Wang Yuezhi would like Chen Yu Ying’s post after she shared it to Moments? Whenever it was about Chen Yu Ying, whether it was a post, a Moment, or even a status message, this kid seemed afraid to be even a second late in liking it. And this time? Hehe. Lin Li leaned out and just made eye contact with Wang Yuezhi, who had been silently watching since hearing Chen Yu Ying’s laughter. Urgent notice! Physics doesn’t exist anymore! According to the conservation of hehe, hehe doesn’t disappear or appear out of nowhere. It only transforms from one form to another or transfers from one object to others, keeping the total amount constant. But at this moment, Lin Li saw non-laughing Wang Yuezhi become more hehe after seeing what Lin Li looked like now! He even hehe’d too! How did the hehe just appear out of nowhere? The sky has fallen. "Lin Li, does my makeup look nice?" Meanwhile, Chen Yu Ying, looking at the photos in her album, poked Lin Li and asked. Eyelashes gently tremble, like a butterfly brushing past petals, eyebrows are long and soft, slightly raised, hiding anticipation. Luckily, Lin Li is a Cultivator, with a stable mind, otherwise he really couldn’t handle it. He thought for a moment and gave a thumbs-up: "Lost north and south in direction, quite stunning." Chen Yu Ying had already built some resistance to Lin Li’s compliments, but when this little flirt came out, she couldn’t help but feel a bit shy. "Thank you." "My turn, my turn!" Ding Sihan raised her hand, pointing at her own face with both hands, sincerely asking: "Lin Li, what about me, what about me, how do you think my makeup is, does it look good?" Lin Li looked at Ding Sihan. This makeup is real makeup. "Ding Sihan, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Lin Li thought for a while and sincerely asked. Ding Sihan: "..." Changed the tune at my turn! The eager smile turned fake, Ding Sihan took a deep breath, then said with a smile: "I want to hear a lie." The toad mustn’t eat swan meat! I, Ding Sihan, will not allow it if you want to be with Yu Ying! Lin Li? Do you deserve it! Tonight I’ll blow and blow and blow the pillow wind to death! Humph! But for now, listening to compliments makes me feel better. "Not good-looking." Lin Li shook his head. Knew it. Hey, wait. Is a lie not good-looking? After realizing, Ding Sihan’s lips twitched up and down, repeatedly, like twitching. Trying to suppress but couldn’t hold it down. Dead mouth! Be reserved! Don’t laugh! Speaking of which, Lin Li does seem quite suited for Yu Ying, huh. Lin Li, he’s so cheeky. His little tricks are really skilled, my emotions were truly stirred by this kid, up and down. Sigh, will Yu Ying be deceived round and round like this in the future? Ding Sihan observed Lin Li, then was a bit surprised — isn’t Lin Li much more handsome compared to last semester when I met him? And his physique has improved? There’s no doubting Lin Li’s height, but he used to be quite thin. This lanky figure is fine in winter, a walking coat hanger, but in summer short sleeves, sometimes even seems scary, a top-tier skeleton soldier. But Ding Sihan now noticed, Lin Li doesn’t seem as thin as before? Feels like his arms have beefed up, the whole person looks, whether in temperament, physique, or features, much better than last semester. Has he been working out? Alright, Ding Sihan had to admit, Lin Li might not be merely a toad, at least a frog. And still willing to praise me looking good, fine, fine, forget past grievances, the pillow wind continues to blow, but blow in a good direction instead. Ding Sihan chuckled foolishly, shook her head, and asked Lin Li: "Then I want to hear the truth, hehe." "Really not good-looking." Lin Li immediately replied. "Hehe, thank you, hehe." Ding Sihan kept laughing. 1.14514 seconds later, Ding Sihan’s smile froze. Just what did I hear? The lie is not good-looking, the truth is really not good-looking? Damnit! Is this how real truth works! Alright, alright Lin Li! You damn toad! I’ll blow, blow, blow, blow, blow you with pillow wind to death!!! "Lin Li you’re a nasty stinky dog, I hate you!" Girl, you curse like you’re whining. "Just kidding, your skin looks much better after brightening, really perfect!" After seeing Ding Sihan pouting, and getting a glare from Chen Yu Ying, Lin Li began to backtrack. "Humph!" Late compliments are cheaper than grass, I, Ding Sihan, won’t accept this. Might as well blow your pillow wind one less time. Just then Wang Ze in the front row turned his head, saw Ding Sihan’s look, disdainfully said to Lin Li: "Ding Sihan’s makeup isn’t quite good?" Wang Ze good, Lin Li bad. Even before Ding Sihan could react proudly to this compliment, she heard Wang Ze continue: "However, Ding Sihan, I still prefer your look after removing makeup, ready to celebrate Halloween." Ding Sihan: "?" "You! You!" As Ding Sihan gritted her teeth in anger, Lin Li suddenly leaned over, signaled Ding Sihan to bring her ear closer. After pondering for a moment, Ding Sihan leaned in, listened to the teaching, suddenly brightened, pointed at Wang Ze’s nose: "Ha, Wang Ze, when you take off your pants, you can still celebrate Children’s Day!" Wang Ze: "?" Chen Yu Ying lowered her head and began to chuckle. It’s really hard to tell whose attack is stronger. "Lin Li! Beast! Your male citizenship is revoked!" Wang Ze, as expected, realized instantly this was taught by Lin Li to Ding Sihan, said heartbrokenly. "I’ve already put on makeup, who cares about male citizenship." Lin Li pointed at his own face, said indifferently. For three seconds looking at Lin Li’s face, Wang Ze couldn’t hold back the laughter first. "I’m the Great Qing’s number one assassin, who dares to look me in the eye for ten seconds?" Lin Li became more arrogant, began to belittle heroic figures. No one dared to challenge, even Xue Jian who transcended student ranks, after a glance turned away awkwardly. This, is invincibility. The invincible Cultivator really is lonely like snow.
