Chapter 461 - 352

Long Yi had disappeared for three days. During these days, Ai Lin and the other girls had been accompanying Suolin. Suolin wasn’t living in the secret chamber anymore; instead, she was in a regular dormitory. Her relationship with Ai Lin had grown very close, maybe because girls are more influenced by each other, or maybe because they had some things in common. Whatever the reason, Suolin prefers to call Ai Lin ’sister’, which Ai Lin isn’t used to since she is few years younger than Suolin according to their ages.

When Long Yi shows up with dark circles under his eyes, Ai Lin is helping Suolin to try on a pair of high-heeled boots.

"Confidence is something that comes from within! When Mr. Long said that putting on heels can give a girl confidence, you should try it too! It really works!" Ai Lin said while watching Suolin changing her shoes.

"Did I?" A puzzled Long Yi asked as he entered the room.

"Yes, you did!" Ai Lin nodded immediately.

"Well, let’s just say I did. Suolin, I have something for you." Saying so, Long Yi handed over his item to her.

"What is this...?" Suolin, who had just put on her shoes, stood up and took the item. It was a white mask?

It was white, thin, slightly elastic, beautifully curved, and featured a small crystal core at the forehead. It seemed to perfectly fit Suolin’s face.

The question was, what was its purpose?

Holding the mask, Suolin raised her head to look at Long Yi. She seemed to ask whether she still needed a mask in her current state.

"Try it!" Long Yi was excited.

So, Suolin gently put the mask on her face. Just before it touched her skin, the mask suddenly created a suction force and perfectly fitted itself on Suolin’s face. Simultaneously, it began to extend and cover Suolin’s entire head.

Everyone was wondering, what’s the use of it?

Suddenly, a young girl’s face emerged slowly on the white mask!

Her face was pure and youthful, and her large eyes were full of disbelief.

"Come look!"

Long Yi, satisfied, took down a mirror from the wall. Suddenly, that long-cherished face appeared in front of Suolin.

That was her own face!

Almost instantly, tears began to roll down from her eyes.

"Thank you, Long Yi! Thank you!!!"

Unable to control her emotions anymore, Suolin started sobbing.

The mask was actually a product from a distant Giant technology, mainly a children’s toy that can alter its appearance to resemble anyone. Yes, the giants were that boring that their first product after hard work on the transformation theory of the Green Dragon was a toy. However, because of the incomplete technology and equipment at Long Yi’s site, he could only make the mask reproduce the wearer’s face. This might have been useless for ordinary people, but for Suolin, it meant everything.

Ai Lin finally managed to comfort Suolin after a long time. Meanwhile, Long Yi explained the functionality of the mask.

"I apologize, even though it replicates tears but hair was too complicated," said Long Yi scratching his head.

"No, this is a special kind of beauty." Suolin finally smiled.

It was her own smile, a strange yet familiar one.

"Child-face Giant R, I bet Mr. Long did it on purpose," Little Zi glanced at her chest and whispered to Ai Lin.

Ai Lin nodded without hesitation, agreeing with her.

Then Long Yi took out a second item.

A big bottle.

"Although you can already become invisible, your defense power has been reduced compared to before. So, I’ve made this for you."

"What is this?" Suolin took the bottle. Even through the bottle, she felt that the liquid inside seemed to contain certain powers.

"It’s made using your detached dragon scales. The mask used soft scales, while this one used the hardest scales. I’ve also added Fine Gold in there," Long Yi explained.

As instructed by Long Yi, Suolin opened the bottle and slowly poured the liquid onto her palm. The dark golden liquid didn’t flow but congealed on her palm.

"Infuse it with Dragon Power," Long Yi said.

Suolin immediately infused it with Dragon Power. Almost at the same time, the dark golden liquid completely turned into a pure black liquid that had a metallic sheen. The liquid began to spread all over her body from her hand, covering her entirely from head to toe. However, it didn’t cover the mask, it drilled through the gaps under the mask.

Next moment, the liquid completely solidified.

It was a thin layer of black shiny film that fit onto Suolin’s body perfectly, fully covering her body scales. Suolin watched her full-body changes in surprise, not knowing its use.

"Because the color-changing Dragon Scales I got from you are limited, that’s why I could only make so much. But this should be enough," Long Yi explained to Suolin, "I used the principle of dragon scale armor, combined with the morphing abilities of color-changing dragon scale to form a dense and solid coating all over your body. As you saw, the coating is thin, but it can change its hardness according to your will. When it’s hardest, there’s hardly any sharp object that can scratch through it. Plus, adding Fine Gold makes it highly resistant to Fighting Aura! However, there is one problem. It can’t exist simultaneously with invisibility. If you want to become invisible, you must take it off."

A thought crossed Suolin’s mind and the coating on her arm instantly hardened. She gently knocked on it, feeling nothing beneath. Then, she moved again, the rest of her arm was soft and her movements were completely unrestricted. With another motion, the black fluid vanished into the scale crevices, restoring her invisibility.

No one present had expected Long Yi, who had been out of sight for three days, to have been up to this. The most moved of course was Suolin. She had never imagined that she would ever get cared for like this. Although her investigations about Blood Coagulation had confirmed that Long Yi was indeed this kind of person, reflecting on her own past made Suolin’s eyes tear up again.

"Hey! Don’t cry! It fits, doesn’t it?"

Long Yi started flustering.

"No, it’s perfect, I’m just too happy... I haven’t cried for a long time...Let me cry out loud today."

Three days.

This time, Ai Lin took Suolin to have fun in Imperial City again for three days. Suolin didn’t hide herself, she wore a loose robe and a hoodie. To bystanders, she just looked like a somewhat pale girl. Compared to the last time, Suolin’s face was truly filled with joy. She even thought how great it would be if things could continue this way!

But she knew, she had things to do.

In Suolin’s room, she reluctantly took off her mask and carefully handed it over to Ai Lin. The way she handled it was as if it were her own life. Ai Lin took it, quickly placing it in a prepared box, then carefully stored it in her personal space.

Although Suolin’s soul was human, her body was a dragon. She had her own personal space, but she felt it was extremely insecure to keep this item there.

"I’m leaving!"

With just these words, Suolin had already turned invisible and vanished.

As soon as Suolin left, Long Yi didn’t get a break either. Because he had forgotten about something.

Toen.

When Toen teleported Long Yi to the pavilion outside the city again, it was then Long Yi remembered he still had to deal with Toen.

Long Yi needed to discuss with Emperor Kirei regarding the list of demands put forth by Toen. But because all he had on his mind was Suolin, he had completely forgotten about it.

Having to deal with Long Yi scratching his head and playing dumb, Toen was at his wit’s end. Ridiculing his own boss just to get closer to Long Yi, yet this guy proved worthy not a bit of his efforts, didn’t he care at all?

"Brother Long, this isn’t quite right."

Toen fanned himself vigorously, his chubby face full of sweat. Yet the dissatisfaction in his voice was definitely genuine.

"Hehe, I forgot, I’ve been busy..."

Honest Long Yi awkwardly laughed as he offered his explanation.

"Brother Long, you should know when to stop chasing after women. Our business is more important!"

Toen said with a superficial smile.

"Of course, you make a good point."

Honest Long Yi nodded straight away.

"So, what about our deal..."

"Don’t worry, I’m on it!"

In reality, Long Yi would have discussed it sooner had he not forgotten, because the matter was important. But no matter how important, it couldn’t overshadow Suolin’s matters. In fact, Kirei had also spent sleepless nights forming a plan against the Green Dragon Empire.

When Long Yi saw Kirei, Kirei’s eyes were bloodshot.

"Toen wants these things? Hmph. There’s only one possibility for this to happen, that it’s Kaniel who asked him to do it. Without his orders, Toen wouldn’t dare!" Kirei sneered at Toen’s demands.

"So, what do we say?" Long Yi asked.

"Just agree. We’ll take what he gives us. As for the so-called friendship he wants, isn’t it something you can give if you want, or turn him into a minced meat in just a minute?" Kirei imitated Long Yi’s tone.

"Exactly! That’s the spirit!"

Long Yi laughed.

In the afternoon when Long Yi had a meeting with Toen, Long Yi found him using the method Toen left him and exchanged his promise as the emperor for a thick book.

It was clear to see that this was not simply a rush job. It was the detailed records of those who used to serve Blood Coagulation as assassins. Long Yi casually flipped through and quickly found several assassination attempts against himself, even the amount paid for each. Looking at the numbers, Long Yi couldn’t help but sneer.

"That idiot Tilian offered only this much on my head? No wonder he always failed!"

Toen laughed too, but in his heart, he had a few choice words for Long Yi. Back then, Long Yi was just a newbie, so Tilian offering this many gold coins for his head was already very generous, okay? Who the hell knew you would rise so high up the ladder? (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my motivation.
