Chapter 383 A Thousand Faces
Three days later, the caravan successfully arrived at the Yiyuan Empire.

Upon entering the imperial city, they were stopped by the army at the city gate.

Hearing the commotion outside, Shen Tang woke up with a start. Rubbing her eyes and muttering to herself, she got dressed and got out of bed. "What's going on outside?"

Xue Yinzhou pulled her back into his arms, his voice low and languid, "Don't go out yet."

Soon, the shopkeeper came over and knocked on the door, reassuring him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty... cough, I heard that the capital city is rather chaotic, and the city gates are being checked more strictly. It's nothing serious, just let them check the goods."

Shen Tang nodded.

The boss stepped off the spaceship and spoke to the officers and soldiers, saying, "We are merchants from other places, and the spaceship is full of goods! This batch of goods needs to be delivered urgently, and we can't afford to delay. Please be lenient and let us through as soon as possible."

He took out a large bag of star coins and secretly slipped it to the leading guard.

The orc smiled with satisfaction, casually pointed to two of his men, and sent them to inspect the spaceship's warehouse. Finding it was indeed full of goods, he waved them through.

After the spaceship left, Qiu Yang walked over and asked the lead guard, "Who just passed by?"

The guard quickly hid the money bag, bowed respectfully, and replied, "It's nothing! They're just merchants coming into the city to buy and sell. The boat is full of goods, and I've already had them carefully inspected. There's no problem!"

"A caravan?" Qiu Yang frowned, his thick black eyebrows furrowing. He had clearly sensed an extraordinary sense of danger when he passed by.

That's the instinct of the strong; there's absolutely no way they could make a mistake!
There are definitely powerful individuals hiding inside this spaceship; it's probably not just for transporting cargo.

Qiu Yang asked coldly, "Where did this spaceship come from?!"

The orc was startled, thinking he had done something stupid, and hurriedly replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, they came from the Nightbright Empire. The relationship between the two countries isn't very good, but over the years, caravans have frequently traveled back and forth. This, this shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"This is utter nonsense!" Qiu Yang seemed to realize something, cursed angrily, kicked the orc to the ground, and then quickly summoned a group of soldiers, "Men, go and stop that spaceship!"

Meanwhile, the spaceship had just landed when it was surrounded by the army!
"All orcs on the spaceship, disembark for routine checks!" shouted the orc leader of the army.

The caravan owner and the orcs were terrified, completely bewildered. Hadn't they just been inspected? Why were they coming to inspect again? And with such a grand display—they'd never encountered anything like it before!
The boss hurriedly ran out of the spaceship, looking extremely nervous, and said, "Um, what's wrong with the soldiers? Didn't we already check them when we entered the city?"

Someone impatiently pushed him aside, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, call everyone out of the car! If you don't come out, don't blame us for forcing our way in."

Shen Tang tensed up immediately upon hearing the noise outside.

Could it be that someone has discovered it?
She had simply changed into civilian clothes and put on some sloppy makeup, but she wasn't that hard to recognize; her true identity would definitely be known.

Xue Yinzhou noticed the stiffness in the female's body in his arms, so he held her even tighter and kissed her forehead, a gesture of unspoken comfort.

A murderous glint flashed in her deep purple vertical pupils. If those people were tired of living and dared to lay a hand on her, she guaranteed they wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow!
Shen Tang sensed the chilling murderous aura emanating from the man and quickly came to her senses to comfort him, shaking her head solemnly and saying, "Don't forget our purpose in coming here, Yin Zhou. Don't act rashly on someone else's turf."

“But you…” Xue Yinzhou wished he could find a place to hide her away.

The next second, the sound of the spaceship hatch being pushed open came from outside the room, along with a series of chaotic footsteps.

The soldiers barged in!
Judging from this, a thorough search is definitely in the works.

The spaceship was already cramped, and no matter where Shen Tang hid, she would definitely be discovered. Just as Shen Tang was nervously wondering what to do, the system's voice suddenly sounded in her mind: "[Host, don't forget the Thousand Faces Mask you were rewarded with earlier. It can change your appearance for a short time. Take it out and try it out!]"

Shen Tang's eyes lit up with joy. Oh right, she had almost forgotten about this good stuff!
As Xue Yinzhou got up to go to the door, she quickly took out the Thousand Faces Mask from her space. Then, with a thought, her stunningly beautiful face transformed into another one.

Her facial features are only average and pretty, not particularly outstanding in a crowd, and it's hard for her to leave a strong impression.

As soon as Xue Yinzhou turned around, he saw that the woman sitting by the bed had changed drastically. His purple eyes widened, and he gasped, thinking he had seen wrong.

Even he was taken aback.

Shen Tang couldn't help but chuckle, her voice sweet and cloying, "What's wrong, Yin Zhou? You haven't seen me for just a few seconds, and you don't recognize me?"

Xue Yinzhou strode forward, gazing intently at her, watching her mischievous little expression, and listening to her familiar voice.

He really wasn't dreaming!
He said incredulously, "Tangtang? Your...how did your face change?"

"I used a disguise mask." Shen Tang took off the mask, returned to her original appearance, and then put the mask back on, becoming an ordinary person again.

Xue Yinzhou's narrow phoenix eyes were filled with shock.

Are there such good disguise masks on the market?

The skin and flesh fit together so naturally that you can't tell it's fake at all!
Soon, the door was kicked open roughly, and a dozen orcs armed with knives and guns surrounded them.

Shen Tang pretended to be very scared and huddled in Xue Yinzhou's arms. Anyone with eyes could see that they were a couple.

The two were forced off the spaceship by the officers and soldiers.

A row of orcs stood below the spaceship; they were all crew members of the spaceship, numbering thirty or forty, including five or six females.

Everyone's faces were filled with fear, anxiety, and confusion; they had no idea what was going on.

Without giving a reason, the officers and soldiers began searching each person one by one, checking against photos and physically searching their bodies.

When the officers and soldiers arrived at Xue Yinzhou's side, they shuddered violently!
The man had long, silver-white hair, a tall and upright figure, a cool and handsome appearance, and a sinister and eerie aura.

He simply stood there, doing nothing, yet he instilled a tremendous sense of oppression in the soldiers, who dared not approach him!
But then I remembered the orders from above; if I didn't do this job well, it would be a capital offense!
The officers and soldiers were terrified, but they still forced themselves to step forward and casually touched Xue Yinzhou's sleeves a few times, pretending to check his body.

Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the beastmen did not recognize Xue Yinzhou's identity. Fortunately, this snake beast was aloof and usually kept a secret, rarely appearing in public or in the media.

Even most of the people in his own country didn't know him, let alone the officers and soldiers of the enemy country.

Of the ten people who knew him, nine and a half have not even lost their ashes.

Xue Yinzhou's face was icy cold as he suppressed his murderous urge, refraining from making a move and concealing his oppressive aura.

After a long ten seconds, the officers and soldiers finally finished the body search and, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, walked up to Shen Tang.
