How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 122: The Demon of Blue Demon

Disguise Technique?

Playing disguise games in front of him?

And to actually succeed in fooling his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye?

Who possesses such divine skills?

I really want to see who the deity is!

Lin Xiaosu’s Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye activated, reversing time.

He saw "Ding Ruoshui"—and it definitely wasn’t seeing a ghost...

That Ding Ruoshui went to the restroom.

He followed suit.

Ding Ruoshui entered the ladies’ restroom. Lin Xiaosu hesitated for a moment before entering...

There were people inside, but they were inside the stalls and most likely could not see him.

He followed that Ding Ruoshui into a stall, and under the reversal of time, a shocking and surreal transformation unfolded before his divine eyes.

Ding Ruoshui’s face began to change mysteriously.

Her clothes were also mysteriously changing.

The transformation of clothes was a clever use of the Dragon Armor.

An illusion created by the refraction of light.

But the face was truly indescribable...

This facial change was not mere disguise technique, but an inside-out adjustment, her skin seemed to be changing at all times, and within moments, she had become another person—an incredibly stunning individual.

It was that person he had seen from a distance at Changsheng Group.

Blue Demon!

One of the Eighteen Kings of Qianlong!

She actually turned into Ding Ruoshui, came before him, and uttered a few bland insipid words.

What did it mean?

Did the Qianlong King have designs against him?

If it were merely a prank, Lin Xiaosu didn’t mind such jokes, but when it involved her identity, the joke instantly turned into high alert...

One must know, it’s difficult to identify whether the higher-ups of Qianlong were friends or foes to him.

At least, the veto from Qianlong’s senior management against his application to join Qianlong sent a clear signal—that there were those high up in Qianlong who were not friendly towards him.

Very well, it’s only right to respond in kind!

I shall take this opportunity to test you...

Lin Xiaosu extended his hand and started to take off his T-shirt.

He didn’t have the Dragon Armor and couldn’t disguise his clothes with high-tech means, but he had a skill that was even more incredible than any high-tech—space!

He had clothes in his space.

In a moment, he had changed into a different set of clothes, entirely dissimilar to what he had been wearing before.

Shoes included.

The next moment, his face also began to change...

Into someone he had just seen...

On the third floor, in a private room near East Lake, a beauty sat by the window savoring tea.

Enjoying tea under the setting sun, watching the streets change scenery in the evening glow, this seemed to be a pleasure for her.

She was Blue Demon, one of the Eighteen Kings of Qianlong.

She mostly carried out missions abroad, and when not on a mission, she stayed at the Qianlong Headquarters. It was rare for her to leisurely watch the sunset in the outside world.

She cherished every moment of stolen relaxation.

Aside from the noisy streets, sensing the worldly life, she seemed to touch upon memories from a distant childhood...

The door gently pushed open.

Almost soundless.

Blue Demon’s eyes shifted over.

As they did, they were bizarrely bright and captivating, as if only a brush could depict them.

But soon, they normalized.

Because the person who came was Blood Trace.

Blood Trace lightly turned his hand, closing the private room door: "Did you just see Lin Xiaosu?"

"Yes!" Blue Demon said.

"What did you gain from it?"

Blue Demon said, "He and Ding Ruoshui aren’t truly boyfriend and girlfriend; it’s a façade for detective work. He charged Ding Ruoshui a fee of 400,000 yuan for his services."

Blood Trace slightly frowned: "Is that all?"

"Yeah!"

"After all that effort, you got such a meaningless piece of information. Is it interesting?" Blood Trace sat down and casually poured a cup of tea.

"To say it’s entirely meaningless isn’t accurate; it has its significance," Blue Demon said with a light smile.

"Oh? What significance?"

"It might not mean anything to you, but for Chang Ye, it has some significance," Blue Demon said. "That little poison girl is facing her own crisis and still took the effort to send me a message asking me to look after him. If this kid is playing the field and leaving sentiments everywhere, little poison girl’s consideration becomes rather ironic."

Blood Trace gently shook his head: "I can’t understand you women. At a time like this, you’re still thinking about these things."

Blue Demon laughed too: "I know what you mean. What you care most about is whether he has any connection with Kun Cang. I suddenly realized that, in fact, this is the truly meaningless concern."

"Why?" asked Blood Trace.

Blue Demon said: "Because we judge a person not by their origin, but by their existence. For Daxia, whether they bring more good than harm or more harm than good. Since he came into the picture, his deeds have greatly contributed to the nation! That’s already enough! Even if his miraculous abilities come from Kun Cang, even if he truly is a ’World Traveler’ from Kun Cang, we should be thankful that in this generation of ’World Travelers,’ there is such an outstanding newcomer like him."

Blood Trace pondered for a long time: "That’s true! I’m leaving."

He got up to leave, and as he reached the door, Blue Demon’s voice came: "What’s your next move?"

"The initial plan!" Blood Trace said.

Blue Demon said: "I know the White Clothed Heavenly King is a thorn in your side, but do not forget your current identity. You are not a lone swordsman of Jianghu. Taking him down is not your solo mission—if you find him, send me a message!"

"Okay!" Blood Trace left through the door.

Vanishing into the corridor.

Blue Demon exhaled softly and stood up...

Leaving the teahouse, when exiting the teahouse, she saw Lin Xiaosu getting into Ding Ruoshui’s car and leaving.

She didn’t take a taxi; she merged with the darkness of the night.

Half an hour later, she appeared on a rooftop, atop which there was a hovercar.

The hovercar’s door opened, and the person inside gave Blue Demon a slight start: Blood Trace.

Blood Trace offered a small smile: "I know you’re reluctant to leave the mortal world behind, so I planned to wait for you all night and head back tomorrow morning."

Blue Demon furrowed her brows slightly: "You’re planning to go back?"

"The mission is already complete, shouldn’t we return to headquarters?"

"Weren’t you going to pursue the White-clothed King?"

"When did I ever say I was going to pursue the White-clothed King at this time?" said Blood Trace. "I don’t even know which country he’s in, how could I pursue him?"

Blue Demon’s eyes shimmered with a fleeting light: "Where were you just now?"

"I’ve been here waiting for you all along, where else could I be? I don’t have your hesitation to part with worldly affairs; I’m almost sick of them..."

Blue Demon plopped down onto the seat, her head slowly resting against the backrest.

Her expression was quite unusual.

"What’s wrong?" asked Blood Trace.

Blue Demon let out a soft sigh: "Have you heard the old saying ’hunt geese all your life, only to be pecked by one’?"

"What do you mean? Were you pecked by someone?" Blood Trace asked, surprised.

"To say I was pecked... that’s not quite it, but at least I didn’t come out ahead!" said Blue Demon.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Blue Demon said, "I just met someone."

"Lin Xiaosu?"

"Yes!" said Blue Demon. "I disguised myself as Ding Ruoshui, and he didn’t see through my disguise."

"That’s only to be expected, who in the world could see through your disguise?"

Blue Demon said, "But after that, I saw you."

Blood Trace’s forehead mark lit up, and his eyes widened: "That kid! He dared to strut around in my guise in front of you, a grandmaster?"

Blue Demon seemed a bit dejected: "I couldn’t see through it either!"

Blood Trace let out a breath: "Your Transformation Technique fooled him, and his Disguise Technique fooled you; did you and this kid come out even?"

"Yeah, it’s pretty disheartening, isn’t it?"

"That’s incredibly disheartening..."

Blue Demon’s gaze slowly drifted outside the hovercar, toward the increasingly distant Jiangcheng...

There was something she didn’t say.

Because that something was what truly made one doubt life.

If it was just about Transformation Technique, she, as a grandmaster of the generation, matched Lin Xiaosu move for move.

But if complemented by the outcome...

It seems... it looks like... she basically lost!

Why?

She, disguised as Ding Ruoshui, only managed to get one piece of insignificant information from Lin Xiaosu: Their relationship as a pretend couple.

And Lin Xiaosu?

Disguised as Blood Trace, he got confidential information from her.

Kun Cang, the White-clothed King...

These were all top-secret!

Kid, aren’t you overstepping the line a bit?

I, Blue Demon, roam the world unhindered with my Transformation Technique, it’s normal for me to play strong figures like a fiddle, and yet I capsized in your waters?

Where does that leave the great reputation of I, Blue Demon?

Where does that leave the title of Qianlong King?

Let’s not delve into what thoughts Blue Demon carried back to the base.

Likewise, let’s briefly overlook the direction in which Changsheng Group is heading.

Life is just like that, with wild waves sweeping through, there should also be some gentle relaxation.

Lin Xiaosu was sitting in Ding Ruoshui’s car, heading straight back to Fengcheng through the night.

To put it in Ding Ruoshui’s words: Let me hurry up and send you away, so I don’t have to deal with my mom monitoring our progress every day...

A press of the accelerator sent Lin Xiaosu speeding on the highway, and by a little after eight in the evening, he arrived at the gate of the Fengcheng Detective Agency.

"Will you head back to Jiangcheng overnight, or stay here for the night?" asked Lin Xiaosu.

"Neither!" shook Ding Ruoshui her head.

"Neither? Is there a third option?" Lin Xiaosu asked. "You’re not seriously thinking of going to my place, are you?"

"You wish, too bad I’m not as hopeful as you think, I’m heading to the Northwest."

"The Northwest?" Lin Xiaosu’s heart stirred slightly.

"At this moment, the Northwest is suitable for tourism, and also for sketching, what’s wrong with that?" said Ding Ruoshui.

"It’s suitable, but are you driving there in this car?"

"Yeah, you might think this car looks like a sports car, but actually, it is a sports car, and it’s particularly suited for the highland terrain, get out of the car!"

Lin Xiaosu got out of the car.

The sports car revved up, ready to roar off, but suddenly it quieted down, Ding Ruoshui’s window rolled down, and her hand beckoned gently.

Lin Xiaosu walked over.

"Question, will you miss me?" Ding Ruoshui asked.

"Under normal circumstances, as a hired person, one only misses the fee, it’s unlikely to miss the employer."

Ding Ruoshui’s eyes rolled white at him in the darkness: "Before the fee was secured, it’s necessary to avoid complications; now that the fee is renumerated, a little mischief in front of your employer shouldn’t be a problem."

"Then... shall we get a room?"

"Scram! That’s too much mischief from you..."

"How about a step back, a goodbye kiss?"

Ding Ruoshui pressed her forehead, sighed gently after a long while: "If you miss me, use the painting I left you to send your longing across a thousand miles!"

Roar!

The sports car started, and disappeared!
