Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple

In the two months after Ye Xiaoli returned home, many murders occurred in the capital.

After investigation and analysis, the detectives of Dali Temple found that all the victims had superior looks without exception. They died in a miserable way with their faces peeled off.

The people were in an uproar. For a moment, all good-looking people, regardless of gender, felt insecure. Those who dared to walk around outside were all turned into ugly monsters.

Every time a murder occurs, "Wang Jian" will come to the Ye family to see Ye Xiaoli.

"Xiao Li, a face-peeling murderer has been appearing and disappearing lately, causing panic among the people of the capital. Don't go out before you get married. If anything happens or you miss me, you can ask the servants to send a message to me and I will definitely come to see you."

"Wang Jian" instructed Ye Xiaoli.

"I know! You should be careful too." Ye Xiaoli smelled the strong smell of blood on "Wang Jian".

She didn't know why no one else could smell it, but she nodded obediently anyway.

"Xiaoli, wait for me to marry you, and we will definitely be happy together." He put a handkerchief on Ye Xiaoli's hand, lowered his head and kissed her palm through the handkerchief.

Ye Xiaoli only felt the palms of his hands getting warm, and a thin, tingling electric current flowed throughout his body.

Then he quickly folded up the handkerchief and put it in his breast pocket.

She left the Ye Mansion with a red face.

Behind an iron mask with a fox face, Xiaoshuang bit her lip and looked at Ye Xiaoli and "Wang Jian" with a cold look. When they were leaving, he stared at her with a cold look, which made her feel uneasy.

It was obvious that the former "Wang Jian" was not like this to her.

He had praised himself for being more clever and smart than the young lady, and had said with affection that he looked forward to the day when he would marry her together with the young lady.

Why did he treat her as nothing now?

Is it because she is disfigured?

Suddenly, something occurred to her. Two days later, when Ye Xiaoli was embroidering her wedding gown, Xiaoshuang suddenly said to her with regret, "Young lady and her husband will be getting married in ten days, but the pattern on the cuffs of your wedding gown is still missing a few gold threads to add color. Although it can be seen without the gold threads, it will look more perfect after sewing those few stitches."

Ye Xiaoli was immediately drawn to the idea. Sure enough, the sleeves of the wedding gown only had silver thread and no gold thread, which seemed to clash with the overall color of the dress. "What should I do? No, I have to go out and buy some gold thread myself to embroider it."

"But, my son-in-law told you not to leave the house." Xiaoshuang stopped him.

"I'll just go out quietly, put on my Mi Li, and come back quickly." Ye Xiaoli was determined.

"Then, young lady, the uncle will definitely arrange for someone to protect you at the gate. If we don't want him to know that you have left the house, we must go through the corner gate where the servants come in and out."

"Well, let's go in the evening then."

-

It was a bleak autumn day, and the sky had already darkened in the evening. When Ye Xiaoli and Xiaoshuang returned home after buying the gold thread, it was completely dark.

There was not a single pedestrian on the not-so-wide road. The two men did not bring lanterns when they came out, and could only rely on the cold moonlight to illuminate the way ahead.

The surroundings were extremely quiet. Apart from the footsteps and breathing of Ye Xiaoli and Xiaoshuang, the only sound that could be heard was the sobbing sound of the wind coming from far away and then from near to far.

They leaned against the wall, feeling uneasy, and walked forward in silence.

"Miss...?" Xiaoshuang next to her was also frightened and couldn't help but call out Ye Xiaoli.

"Ah!" The sudden muffled sound startled the already frightened Ye Xiaoli. She couldn't help but scream. Then she patted Xiaoshuang's shoulder in annoyance and scolded her in a low voice, "Why are you shouting? Get out of here!"

Unfortunately, the shout just now seemed to have alarmed a demon hiding in a dark corner under the cold and bright moonlight. Suddenly, the sound of slow footsteps "dangdangdang" came from behind the master and servant.

The footsteps echoed, seeming far away and yet very close.

Besides the sound of footsteps, there was also the sound of a sharp weapon scratching the wall, making an endless "swish" sound.

It seemed as if it was following the wall beside them, catching up with them without stopping, and following them like a shadow.

"Miss, is it the murderer who cut off your face?" Xiaoshuang asked Ye Xiaoli in a tearful voice. She held her panda-patterned iron headgear in both hands, and surprisingly felt a sense of security.

"No, no way?" Ye Xiaoli stuttered.

Both of them were terrified and ran forward in quick, small steps, not daring to look back.

The Ye Mansion was almost there, and they just had to go back home.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The footsteps behind them became faster and faster, as if they were stepping on their hearts step by step.

"what--"

Feeling a hand about to grab her back, Xiaoshuang suddenly grabbed Ye Xiaoli's Mi Li and pulled it off.

"I'm sorry miss!"

Xiaoshuang pulled Ye Xiaoli to the ground and ran forward. The next second, he fell to the ground with a thud and his body was separated.

The iron hood and the head fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Ye Xiaoli was so frightened that she quickly sat against the wall, her body shrouded in shadow. She looked up in horror and saw a face that seemed to be covered with countless ant-sized black holes appearing above her.

His eyes were also pitch black, as if there were no whites.

"Wang Jian?" Ye Xiaoli could tell at a glance that this person had the face of "Wang Jian".

The man originally wanted to insert the sharp dagger into Ye Xiaoli's throat, but he suddenly heard Ye Xiaoli's voice. Then he stared at Ye Xiaoli with his eyes without whites for a few seconds, and then he went crazy, threw away the dagger and covered his face.

With a whimper, he immediately tried to escape from here.

"Wang Jian!" Ye Xiaoli subconsciously grabbed his wrist. He could have easily broken free, but he was still worried about something and did not struggle. He stood there frozen with his face covered, as if he was under a spell.

The body kept shaking.

"My name is not Wang Jian, my name is Wang Dongxu, my name is Wang Dongxu, my name is Wang Dongxu..." At the same time, he kept muttering.

"Wang Dongxu?" Ye Xiaoli was stunned. "The bastard of the Wang family? I heard he's a monster with black spots all over his face."

"I'm not a monster. I'm Wang Dongxu. Wang Jian used my face, and I used Wang Jian's face. Wang Jian used my face and wanted to marry the woman I love, so I took my face back and I also want to take my beloved woman back."

"I'm not a monster..."

He spent the next half hour talking to himself.

Ye Xiaoli frowned and listened, sorting out the cause and effect relationship.

It turns out that twenty years ago, Wang Jian and Wang Dongxu were born at the same time. Wang Dongxu's mother was a concubine in the palace and also a poison girl from southern Xinjiang. She was poisoned by Wang Jian's mother and her life was coming to an end.

He retaliated by poisoning Wang Jian's mother, causing her to give birth to a monster with black spots all over its face.

Wang Jian's mother knew that it was Wang Dongxu's mother who did the evil, so she spent a lot of money to ask the Saint of Southern Xinjiang to help Wang Jian and Wang Dongxu change their faces with poisonous insects.

Wang Dongxu's mother was not as skilled in witchcraft as the Saint of Southern Xinjiang, so she pretended to return to Southern Xinjiang and planned to burn all the people in Southern Xinjiang, including the Saint, to death.

Return to the Wang family and wait for death.

Before she died, she put all her efforts into making a memory Gu, which covered all the Gu techniques in southern Xinjiang, and implanted the memory Gu into Wang Dongxu's body.

As Wang Dongxu grew older, he gained more knowledge about witchcraft and became stronger.

Although he could only stay in the house because of his appearance, his knowledge of witchcraft was extensive and profound, and the Wang family did not restrict him from studying. He was very happy to immerse himself in knowledge every day.

Moreover, with countless poisonous insects around, he could know exactly what was happening outside without leaving the house.

But suddenly one day, the Wang family held a banquet, and a girl pushed another lovely girl into the lake, and ran away in panic.

He quickly controlled many water-capable poisonous insects and rescued the girl.

Through the eyes of the insect, he saw the girl's face and fell in love with her at first sight.

I thought, it would be nice if I could be with the girl forever.

So, she put a love spell on the girl, and she would fall in love with the first person she saw when she opened her eyes.

After the poison was cast, he wanted to break his rule of not going out easily and go see the girl in person. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the lake, the girl had already woken up and "fell in love" with that damn Wang Jian!

He almost went crazy after seeing that scene!

That was his girl, his love, his face... all taken away by another person.

From that moment on, he vowed to take back everything he had.

Especially the love his sweetheart has for him.
