Brother, how come you're a witch?

It turned out to be the case.

Su Yan raised an eyebrow.

I'm really sorry that I can only afford the cheapest and most remote shop because I don't have enough money. It just so happens to block the little vixen's usual way of sneaking out to play.

Even if his warehouse was illegally constructed, he can't just barge in like that.

It can only be said that the little vixen's personality is somewhat mischievous at its core, and she must be disciplined seriously in the future.

After applying a double standard, Su Yan remembered that the hug he had just received was rather ambiguous, so he looked at Liu Baishuang's expression.

The little demon girl's face was as white as fresh snow, and even in the dim light, it was impossible to tell whether it was rosy or not. Her lake-like eyes were slightly upturned, sparkling with pure innocence, making one want to believe her.

Moreover, there seemed to be no disgust in his eyes for what had just happened.

Su Yan's heart stirred, and he felt that there was no need to wait until later. Now was a good time to deepen his relationship with the little demoness and awaken the truth, goodness and beauty in her heart for discipline.

"Senior sister, it's wrong to barge into someone else's house."

"I made a mistake."

Liu Baishuang's eyes flickered, she only said she was wrong but did not apologize.

"You don't want Elder Xu Qinglan to know you're a bad kid, do you?"

"What...what do you want to do?"

"Nothing."

Su Yan shrugged:

"What I mean is, I rent this shop, so you can come here openly next time."

"Um?"

Liu Baishuang paused for a moment, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes:

"I see."

?

Su Yan frowned. Why did Liu Baishuang's mood seem to have become depressed after he said those words? It was really puzzling.

But he still took out a name tag with "Liu Liu" written on it from his pocket and stuffed it into Liu Baishuang's hand:

"Next time I disguise myself and wear this, I'll tell them I'm an outsourced employee here."

"My concealment and disguise spells aren't very effective..." Liu Baishuang muttered.

"That's easy."

Su Yan raised his finger and hovered it in front of the little demon girl's nose, preparing to 'casually' demonstrate his strength. Female cultivators of this age all preferred male cultivators with high magical abilities.

He channeled his spiritual energy, his gaze following his fingertips to Liu Baishuang's cheek, where they met the curious look in her eyes.

The spell of concealing one's aura and changing one's appearance bloomed from Su Yan's fingertips.

A stream of pure white spiritual energy landed on Liu Baishuang's face. The scalding energy made her close her eyes uncomfortably. This white spiritual energy was viscous, like waterlogged mud, and it wriggled on her face to form a brand new face.

But this was not the end. Waves of spiritual energy surged from Su Yan's fingertips, all landing on Liu Baishuang's face, constantly forming new faces and overlapping them.

This was done at least seven times.

Her stunning face was thus dimmed and became much more ordinary, but if you look closely, you will still find her beautiful.

Su Yan took out another piece of black gauze, deftly cut it into the shape of a veil with his sword, and put it on Liu Baishuang's face.

"It's done."

Upon hearing this, Liu Baishuang took out a mirror from her bag and looked at herself, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Su Yan used the most basic disguise technique, but he cleverly connected spiritual energy, layering several times, and then covered half of his face with a veil, making him completely unrecognizable.

"This is amazing!" Liu Baishuang exclaimed.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Su Yan smiled crookedly.

This technique is actually not difficult; you can learn it even without the system's help to increase your proficiency. With Liu Baishuang's talent, it goes without saying that it's even easier for her.

As for why it's not difficult but not many people use it, it can only be said that people in the cultivation world are too straightforward.

In Su Yan's previous life, women knew to apply several layers of sunscreen and wear a mask, combining physical and chemical methods.

In the world of cultivation, disguise is simply applying a layer of magic.

Taking advantage of this difference in habits, Su Yan would first layer six disguises and then wear three masks whenever he was about to do something bad, and so far no one has discovered that he was the one who did those bad things.

"think."

Liu Baishuang nodded vigorously.

Once you've mastered this technique, almost no one can see through your Foundation Establishment stage. You can openly appear in front of Su Yan's team members without any problem. However, you still need to take the back paths and through the greenery when you come here, since Core Formation cultivators occasionally pass by on the main road.

"Then let's begin now."

Su Yan clapped his hands, and the first "teaching" was complete:

"However, they should be back soon after buying the wine. It would be difficult to explain having an extra outsourced employee all of a sudden. Aren't you going out to play? Just go to the market and wait for me. I'll be there in a bit. We can learn as we go."

"oh."

Liu Baishuang opened the small bag at her waist and stuffed the mirror back in.

Before Su Yan could make any further arrangements, he heard a commotion coming from the shop.

The two exchanged a glance. The little vixen said nothing, turned around, and tried to jump out of the high window. Su Yan, having done all the right thing, reached out and helped her push her foot.

The girl swayed her slender waist and snow-white legs, disappearing from the window in the blink of an eye.

Su Yan raised his hand and glanced at the shoe print on his palm. It was 7 inches, 5 fen, 1 li, and 2 hao, exactly as Li Changsheng had described in the Feixin message.

It's unclear how Li Changsheng obtained Liu Baishuang's shoe size data, or even some more private data, but there's no opportunity to verify it yet.

All I can say is that Senior Brother Li is both reliable and mysterious.

Su Yan shook his head, patted his clothes, turned and left the warehouse, politely declining the invitations from his team members who had already returned with the wine, and went straight back to the shop.

Ye Jingqiu remained upright at the table, handling the accounts with an indifferent expression. It seemed that these cold and complicated numbers had no effect on her.

Su Yan gave Ye Jingqiu a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart and patted her on the back of the head.

"Ugh..."

Ye Jingqiu made another strange sound.

Why are my auditory hallucinations still continuing?

Su Yan covered his ears and said to Ye Jingqiu:

"I've finished inventorying the goods, I'm going out for a bit."

"Where to?"

Ye Jingqiu suddenly stopped writing and looked up.

"To save the world," Su Yan said with a serious expression.

"...You might as well say you're going to unleash yourself." Ye Jingqiu's lips twitched slightly.

"Hey, you've got a joke now. After following me for so many days, you've finally made your humanoid machine a little more human-like."

Su Yan was very pleased and patted the back of the little sword ancestor's head again:

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come to you when I want to let loose."

This time, Ye Jingqiu didn't make a sound. Instead, her icy face flushed red, and she turned her head and bit down.

Su Yan quickly withdrew his hand, causing Ye Jingqiu to bite empty air. There was a crisp cracking sound as she chewed with her teeth.

"You got all worked up just from being told what to do."

Su Yan told him not to joke if he couldn't take a joke, and quickly retreated towards the door.

Last time, Ye Jingqiu and Hong Wen were slapped twice by a demon. Unexpectedly, Su Yan achieved the same effect with just one sentence. This time, he had to slip away. He couldn't hold down an adult sword ancestor with insufficient essence and blood.

"Work hard, I'll bring you a late-night snack when I get back."

Su Yan darted out the door, then slammed it shut as if afraid Ye Jingqiu would pounce on him, leaving behind a reassuring remark.

"hiss."

Ye Jingqiu stared at the closed door, bared his teeth and hissed a few times, then let out an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible "humph," before lowering his head to continue processing the accounts.
