Chapter 314: Chapter 188: Painted Skin (Part 2) Chu Qing chuckled:
"You might not know, the wonders of transforming appearance can be said to be incredibly amazing.
When used well, it can change in countless ways, used to harm others... it can even destroy families."
"How can this be used to harm others?"
Gentle was somewhat curious.
Chu Qing then told her a story.
It was about an expert, who, although he defeated his opponent in a duel, was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
When he woke up, he found himself transformed into another person.
Beside him appeared a delicate wife.
The wife told him his new name and identity, but he naturally wouldn’t believe it easily.
He suspected someone had played tricks on him.
He questioned his wife, even considered killing her, but the weak wife only pleaded in agony.
Faced with the weak wife, he couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless, so he wanted to check if there was something wrong with his face...
But no matter what method he used, his face’s appearance didn’t change a bit.
This expert had no family in the past, always on his own.
His wife’s gentle voice gradually led him astray, day after day, he began to feel that past events seemed like a dream.
Gradually believing he really was the person his wife claimed.
And his wife always treated him very gently.
Originally, he thought life would continue day by day like this...
But unexpectedly, one day, after hunting outside, he found his wife dead when he returned home.
Died tragically, bullied before death, the whole room was in chaos.
On the ground were clues of the enemy.
The expert went mad, followed the clues and found the enemy.
His martial arts were extraordinary, the enemy wasn’t his match, knelt down and begged, saying they never did those things...
But the expert didn’t believe it.
His wife was dead, there were tokens on the scene, and clues.
Why would they still want to deny?
He killed the enemy’s whole family... but his wife couldn’t come back to life.
He drowned his sorrows in alcohol, collapsed drunkenly on the street.
In a daze, he seemed to see his wife coming to find him, gentle hand caressing his face... In a daze he opened his eyes, but it’s just a dream.
He originally thought it was a beautiful dream, but when he saw his face again, he found it was actually a nightmare.
He returned to his original appearance.
And he was located right in the enemy’s family he had wiped out.
Martial heroes seeking justice for this family had already arrived at the doorstep.
They compared martial arts, confirmed the expert was the killer, everyone shouted to attack and kill him.
He wanted to explain, but couldn’t explain.
Using all his strength, he broke through the siege, returned to the place he once lived with his wife.
But there, nothing was left.
No house, no tragically dead wife, just an empty ground.
Those chasing him had already arrived, he was hit in a daze, injuries accumulated and as he was nearing death, he saw outside the crowd, a white-clothed woman standing.
Her appearance was identical to his wife’s.
Only the smile on her face was no longer gentle and warm, she grimly smiled at him.
After hearing this story, Gentle’s expression became somewhat heavy.
She rubbed her cheeks:
"So terrifying..."
"You actually know fear?"
Chu Qing was a bit surprised.
This story wasn’t something he casually fabricated, but a true story.
At the time, White Chess told him... that wife was actually an assassin from Mirror of Sin, also a Master of Disguise.
She herself didn’t know martial arts, but carried a blood feud.
