Li Mingyan's left cheek was bruised, resembling a creeping Venomous Centipede.
Her voluptuous figure, seductive like a snake, could ignite a man's desire, but if one were to pin that delicate body down and whip it madly, the sudden sight of her grotesque face on the left would instantly terrify him into submission, leaving him impotent for life.
The contrast was striking and unsettling.
Seeing Lin Qiubai's intense reaction, Li Mingyan wrinkled her delicate nose and quickly put on her mask.
A tearing pain began to stir within her.
Even Cao Gongzi would be startled by my ugly face; it seemed truly frightening enough.
How foolish I am, knowing full well how hideous it is yet still choosing to reveal it!
Li Mingyan pressed her red lips together.
She finally understood that all men in the world would care about her appearance.
Even the seemingly extraordinary Lin Qiubai would be no exception.
Lin Qiubai realized his reaction had hurt the girl and immediately spoke softly, "May I see it again?"
"Will... will it scare you, Young Master?"
Though anxious, seeing Lin Qiubai's calm gaze made Li Mingyan feel a flicker of hope again as she slowly removed her mask.
Lin Qiubai gazed intently; that mass of centipede-like shadow was actually a Curse. He didn't understand the specifics of the Curse, but it didn't affect the skin underneath.
"This is the Curse. If removed, it won't affect your appearance at all. In fact, you are truly a beauty that could topple nations."
Upon hearing this, Li Mingyan's lips subtly curled up. It was the first time someone had seen her true self and sincerely praised her.
She felt as if she were bathed in electricity.
"Really?"
Lin Qiubai nodded affirmatively, his gaze clear.
"But... no one can cure it... it will always accompany me...
Perhaps...
Could we assist Liu Butler in slaying the Death Worm in the ravine and obtain a Cursed Dark Flower? Maybe the Cursed Dark Flower can cure the Curse on my face..."
Li Mingyan pleaded. The butler had mentioned that two Death Worms lurked in the ravine, and they needed to find another strong person to hold off one of them so that he could carry out the slaying.
Otherwise, if the two Death Worms teamed up, even Liu Butler, who was at the seventh level of the Yuan Dan Realm, would be defeated.
"As long as I can help, I am more than willing."
Lin Qiubai nodded but was inwardly questioning the spirit of the artifact.
"What is the Cursed Dark Flower?"
"The Cursed Dark Flower is a plant that gathers deathly energy, but that death energy can be transformed into a light essence of life."
The biggest factor hindering the progress of the Evil Cultivator's cultivation is the excessive accumulation of death energy within. Therefore, if the Evil Cultivator consumes a Cursed Dark Flower, their cultivation can surge dramatically.
Moreover, the Cursed Dark Flower has a natural restraining effect against curses, so you might as well seize one and give it to Yun Ge Master.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiubai raised an eyebrow.
How could he miss out on a Mystical Herb that could help Yun Ge Master?
"However, Death Worms are attracted to the peculiar scent of Cursed Dark Flowers. Typically, one Cursed Dark Flower will draw a Death Worm lurking nearby.
The older the Cursed Dark Flower, the stronger the Death Worm will be. It's quite dangerous, so you need to be cautious."
Lin Qiubai nodded slightly and looked towards Liu Butler.
Liu Butler remained silent and turned to call for hired Guards.
After several breaths, twenty Mercenary Warriors donned their gear and approached Li Mingyan from behind, their eyes greedily fixed on her as they swallowed hard.
"The main objective of this mission is the two Cursed Dark Flowers located just below the ravine over there. There are two Mystical Beasts at the Yuan Dan Realm guarding them, but their strength is average. With more than twenty of us, we need not worry."
Hearing the butler's words, the twenty Mercenary Warriors exchanged disdainful smiles.
Just a Yuan Dan Realm Mystical Beast; they could easily take it down together. The group exchanged confident glances before following the butler as they rushed towards the ravine.
Lin Qiubai trailed behind Li Mingyan, moving swiftly forward as well.
In the vast desert, where sand dunes largely resemble one another, finding this Gorge and distinguishing it from the nearby ravine was quite a challenging task.
"You must be curious, right? How we were able to find the Cursed Dark Flower. That's because my mother discovered it long ago and mapped its location, waiting for it to mature. Now it has been seventy years since its potency was last harvested."
"I see."
As they conversed, Liu Butler had already stepped into the ravine.
The ravine was eerily silent, with sand particles dyed silver by the frost moon, resembling a night of snowfall.
Desolate.
Lonely.
Lin Qiubai felt an unprecedented sense of vigilance.
Liu Butler also whispered a warning: "Be careful! There are two Death Worms here. They lurk in the sand and like to ambush."
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Butler finished speaking, Lin Qiubai noticed the sand behind him suddenly sink, and a Dark Green Giant Insect leaped out like a giant shark breaching the surface.
Five meters below Lin Qiubai, Jinx screamed as he fell.
Crack!
The sound of mandibles clashing sent chills down their spines.
Jinx's legs were severed, and hot blood splattered onto Lin Qiubai's clothes.
The unfortunate soul screamed desperately for help, but everyone was too preoccupied with their own troubles to lend a hand.
Grains of sand flew up as the unfortunate one was dragged entirely into the sandy sea, quickly silencing his cries.
At the same time, Lin Qiubai's figure darted away in a zigzag pattern, swiftly leaving his original position. Upon closer inspection,
where he had been standing,
the sand suddenly sank, and a death worm as thick as a water barrel burst forth from the sand.
It was slightly smaller than the previous one, but still fearsome and terrifying, with dark green eyes that emitted an evil glow, sending chills down one's spine.
"Get lost!"
Lin Qiubai flicked his wrist, and a blood-red spear let out a sharp whistle as it struck towards the death worm.
The death worm underestimated Lin Qiubai.
After all, apart from that unfortunate soul, Lin Qiubai had the lowest cultivation level in the area.
Thus, it did not take Lin Qiubai's counterattack seriously.
However, three breaths later, its body twisted in agony, letting out a wretched scream as a thumb-deep dent appeared on its side, green blood gushing out wildly.
The hired warriors gasped in shock; a warrior at the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Realm actually possessed such fierce combat power!?
It was terrifying!
Chu Piao felt a surge of anxiety in his heart. He was afraid that Lin Qiubai would hold a grudge and kill him.
Not far away, Liu Butler's gaze also sharpened slightly.
"It seems I underestimated this person's combat ability. It's a bit tricky; I need to incapacitate him first. Otherwise, my plan might encounter unforeseen complications."
Liu Butler pondered many thoughts in his mind.
Afterward, he coldly reminded, "Everyone, please be careful."
"You damn old man, why didn't you warn us in advance? Are you trying to set us up for slaughter?"
Liu Butler smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.
"Young friend, please deal with that large Death Worm from the Eighth Layer of Yuan Dan Realm. I'll take care of the smaller one first. I'll come back to help you later! Make sure to hold it off; otherwise, we will all die here!"
Having said that, Liu Butler didn't wait for Lin Qiubai's agreement and directly lunged at the slightly smaller Death Worm.
"Calculating..."
Lin Qiubai chuckled lightly, a hint of dangerous light flickering in his eyes.
Liu Butler was using them as shields. The casualties would be borne by them, while Liu Butler would take the benefits...
