After passing through the long workshop where leather was stored, they arrived at the back room. The city lord said to them, "Wait for me while I change out of this leather."
When she came out, their current appearance made their eyes light up. She was still beautiful now, but she didn't look like a little girl like before. Instead, she had a bit of heroism, with the tear mole in the corner of her eye and the narrow red phoenix eyes. It brought a little more charm to her.
"The city lord is really beautiful."
Song Yu couldn't help but praise.
The city lord covered his mouth and smiled evilly, "Okay, tell me what you want to inquire about."
"I want to ask about General Li Feng."
The city lord smiled softly and looked at the woman in front of him with a playful look in his eyes.
"No one has mentioned this for a long time."
"Then let me tell you a story."
"There was a woman before. She was very beautiful and had a very noble status. Logically speaking, she should be happily painting skins every day and then become the noble lord of the city. But she always felt that such a life was dull. And it's boring. Doing the same thing day after day.
Until one day, someone appeared and changed her life.
She was painting in boredom in the house, when suddenly news came from his men that someone else had come to Tancheng. She just treated him as a normal human being and went out, intending to scare him away as usual.
As a result, when she arrived at the city gate, she discovered that this man was so ugly. His body was covered with dense scratches, there was not a single piece of flesh on his body, and his face had also been slashed longly.
Someone around her asked her what to do, whether she should drive him away, and she said to the man, "Can't you see that he is seriously injured? Drive him away. Where do you want him to go? To the Palace of the King of Hell." '
'What does the city lord mean? '
The woman glanced at him and said, "Carry him to the city lord's palace for me. When his injuries are healed, I will send him away." '
The city lord never expected at that time that today's move would directly change her next demon life.
She also didn't expect that not only would the man in front of her leave in the future, but she would also leave with him.
All she wanted at that time was to save him quickly and heal her injuries.
This man is really lucky. If he hadn't come here, his injury would never have been cured, because Tan City has the most capable medicine king in the world, who was originally a root under the ground. Made from thousands of years of ginseng.
There is no reason why the patient in his hands cannot be saved as long as he is still alive.
And to say that he was lucky, it was also because he was picked up by the most artistic city lord in Tan City. The city lord invited the King of Medicine to heal his wounds, and when he was no longer in fear of his life, he applied a skin patch.
The skin made by the city lord was transformed by her skill. As long as the person who uses the skin does not destroy it intentionally, the skin will never be damaged. So the skin stuck to the man's face, just like real skin, and the dense and terrifying wounds on his body could no longer be seen.
When the city lord finished applying it to his face and all the skin on his body, she couldn't help but admire her masterpiece. Only then did she realize that the young boy she had picked up was so handsome!
The skin-painting demon could only paint the skin but not the bones. The man in front of him had excellent bones, a high nose bridge, and a clear and strong jawline, which revealed a sense of perseverance.
She supported her head and squinted her eyes to admire the little boy.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw a woman sitting in front of him, looking at him motionless. He sat up suddenly and patted his head to make sure that he was not dreaming. Then he looked around the room for a week, almost fainting from shock.
This room was specially used by the city lord to skin people in the city. There were ten skins of various sizes, and they had already been painted. The eyes, noses, mouths, etc. were all painted on the skins.
Seeing that he was about to faint again, the city lord quickly helped him up and said, "I have raised you for a month. If you faint again, I will throw you out." '
Unexpectedly, this man didn't appreciate it at all and pushed the city lord away. He said viciously, "Kill or behead you, I will not be deceived by beauty." '
The city lord was originally annoyed that he was so ungrateful, but after hearing the word "beauty", she burst into laughter again, "I have no enmity with you, so why should I kill you." '
The man had an expression as if he was looking forward to death, "Don't think I don't know you are a painted-skinned monster. The scholar in the story book had his heart poached by the painted-skinned monster." '
Hearing this, the city lord laughed loudly, "You people are really interesting. The fox demon who approved the leather made by our painted skin demon was actually written as a painted skin demon." '
'That fox demon, I saw her as a weak woman wandering alone, so I kindly took her in to my Tan City. I didn't expect that her evil beast stole the leather I made and ran away, and she is still everywhere outside. Harmful to people, harmed by our painted skin demon being arranged by the world. '
'Originally, I no longer allowed anyone other than the Painted Skin Demon to enter the city, but I took you back because I saw how handsome you are, young master. '
The boy next to him said, "City Lord, didn't you say that he was so ugly to you at that time?"
The city lord wanted to give this guy another beating at this moment. She would never say that she kept this guy because her compassion overflowed again. She would never make the same mistake twice.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, I won't harm you. I'll find someone to heal your injuries." '
The boy was doubtful, but after hesitating for a while, he got up and said to the city lord, "I will definitely repay your life-saving grace in the future. Now I have a mission and I have to leave." '
The city lord kindly reminded him before he left, 'The people who harmed you outside haven't left yet. Are you sure you want to leave now? '
The man had already made up his mind to leave, but he could not hear what the Lord of the City had said.
He rushed out immediately, unable to stop him.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he was hit by an arrow.
Then he returned to Tancheng.
The city lord didn't want to care about him at first, but she and King Yao spent so much time on him, so she saved him again.
This kid is much more honest this time. He stays with the city lord as my assistant and paints skins with me. He was a little afraid of this thing at first. After all, the skin made by the city lord using his skills was as good as human skin.
It wasn't until later that he saw the girl and the young man's happy appearance after the skin was changed, that he gradually understood the meaning of the painted skin demon, and his leather-making skills became better and better. "
The city lord said he was a little tired, so he stopped to rest and take a sip of tea.
Li Yuanheng asked her while she was drinking tea, "Is that man General Li Feng? He fell in love with you day and night, so he finally abandoned his wife and son and came to Tancheng to be with you."
The city lord put down his teacup and smiled noncommittally.
