Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 226 - 112: A Happy Ending, the New Yan Yu

Open.

The rouge in the box was like paper ash, exuding an indescribable chill.

He raised his hand, dabbed some rouge, and gently applied it to the woman’s face.

This rouge was peculiar; even if you didn’t know how to do makeup, as long as you had thoughts in mind, the rouge would apply according to your thoughts.

Moments later, the last bit of rouge in the box was used up, and Li Yuan finished applying.

The woman’s face was made up.

However, this makeup reflected the woman’s own appearance, but with a pair of eyes that had not been blinded.

Sure enough, the woman’s blind eyes were gone, and the pair was no different from the original, even bright and full of spirit.

Li Yuan supported his chin, quietly watching.

But the woman cried out, "Is it done? Is it done?"

Li Yuan replied, "It’s done."

The woman said, "I... I still can’t see. You haven’t cured my eyes! I..."

Li Yuan was slightly stunned and took out a mirror, placing it directly in front of the woman.

The woman’s eyes blinked, no different from ordinary people; they were spirited eyes, clearly shown both on her face and in the mirror.

"I can’t see, still can’t see!!" the woman wailed, screaming in misery.

Li Yuan let her wail, put down the mirror, and sat in the execution chamber for a day and a night. The woman even fell asleep once, but after waking up, she still couldn’t see.

Li Yuan understood.

The [Gray Rouge Box] could change a person’s appearance but could not change one’s inherent flaws.

A blind person remained blind even if they had eyes painted on with makeup.

Li Yuan waited a while longer, seeing no aftereffects in the woman, then pointed his finger, letting a drop of blood seep from his fingertip.

The blood drop landed on the woman’s face...

A sizzling sound came, like fire falling into an icy cave, like extreme yang into extreme yin.

Li Yuan’s blood dripped continuously; once it flowed out, it couldn’t be retrieved, as if all its extraordinary power had been exhausted.

After a few breaths, the woman’s face was washed clean by Li Yuan’s blood, the makeup gone, and those spirited eyes turned blind again.

Li Yuan cut out her tongue, then left, instructing the jailer, "Execute as soon as possible."

The jailer replied quickly, "Today, carry out the execution!"

Then he shouted, "Executioner, quickly call the executioner, tell him to prepare at the market."

...

Li Yuan walked out of the prison.

He had completed the experiment.

Now, he could draw eyes for Xiaozhao.

...

That evening, Lady Yan sat tensely to the side, watching Li Yuan take out a peculiar gray rouge box and use its content, seemingly like paper ash, to apply on Xiaozhao’s face.

Despite her curiosity, she didn’t ask a word.

She knew Li Yuan’s love for his daughter was no less than hers.

After a while, the rouge was used up, and the little girl’s blind eyes became a pair of lively and adorable eyes.

Lady Yan was stunned.

Li Yuan sighed in relief and explained the function of the rouge box and what he had done at the prison in Shanbao County the previous days.

Lady Yan showed an expression of joy. Now, with the face-concealing conical hat on, who would know that little Xiaozhao was a Jade Remains?

"That’s wonderful, darling."

Lady Yan exhaled, Li Yuan also felt somewhat relieved.

The two observed Xiaozhao for a while and found everything normal, so they called in Wu Ya for a look.

A crow descended from the beam, perching on Xiaozhao’s shoulder, staring at the mirror.

Xiaozhao let out a babyish laugh as if her new appearance amused her.

...

That night, the family of three went to sleep.

Xiaozhao slept farthest inside, Lady Yan in the middle, Li Yuan on the edge.

By midnight...

The quiet bed suddenly began to shake, increasingly fast.

Li Yuan abruptly opened his eyes and saw Xiaozhao’s entire body twitching as if having a seizure.

He hurriedly approached, seeing Xiaozhao’s eyes shifting unpredictably—at times glassy white, at times lively, and then starting to distort.

Upon touching Xiaozhao, he found his daughter’s body cold as ice.

"Xiaozhao!!" he shouted urgently.

Then pushed again.

But Xiaozhao couldn’t wake up, neither by shouting nor pushing.

"Sister Yan!" he shook Yan Yu, yet she was also asleep, impossible to awaken.

No matter how composed Li Yuan was, now he panicked, feeling as if his heart was burning.

He immediately surmised it was related to the [Gray Rouge Box] used during the day.

"Could it be a difference in constitution?

The death row convict was just an ordinary person, while Xiaozhao is a Jade Remains."

Li Yuan pondered further, saying, "A Jade Remains is a living evil ghost, but the [Gray Rouge Box] was obviously something sold by another evil ghost. Using one evil ghost’s item on another..."

He regretfully slapped his thigh, then quickly retrieved a [Copper Plate] from the "Equipment Bar" meant to ward off curses, intending to place it on Xiaozhao’s chest, but stopped halfway.

The [Copper Plate] was also an evil ghost’s item, unsuitable for Xiaozhao.

But why couldn’t Xiaozhao wake up, and why couldn’t Sister Yan either?

Li Yuan was truly frantic.

Countless thoughts raced through his mind, ready to act when Lady Yan suddenly opened her eyes, glanced at her husband, and said, "Darling, watch over us."

Then, without waiting for Li Yuan to question, she closed her eyes, falling back into slumber.

Those brief six words gave Li Yuan peace of mind, and he roughly guessed.

It was a dream!

Inside the dream’s small house, something must be happening.

Just as Yan Yu trusted him, he also believed in Yan Yu.

Yan Yu might have once been an ordinary woman, but once she could calmly obtain "one cent", she was no longer ordinary.
