Chapter 95 p1
The disguise mask’s effect was a bit too ridiculous. Li Mo couldn’t just transform in front of Wen Runan. She could only coax her and ask her to temporarily close her eyes.
“Be good. You’ll know in a bit,” for insurance, Li Mo also reached out and covered her eyes.
Wen Runan pursed her lips. Seeing that Li Mo had promised to give her something, she reluctantly closed her eyes and let her hand cover her eyes.
After taking off the disguise mask with one hand, Li Mo also became a little shorter. Her height became about the same as Wen Runan’s. It could be said that her whole person had become a circle smaller.
Hmm? The hand covering her eyes seemed to have become smaller? Was it her imagination?
Before she had even opened her eyes, Wen Runan had already noticed the change in Li Mo’s body. She couldn’t help but cover Li Mo’s hand with her own.
The skin she touched was delicate and smooth. This touch was completely different from before!
Wen Runan was stunned for a moment. Then, she found that the hand covering her eyes had been moved away, leaving only her own hand still covering her eyes.
“Can, can I open my eyes now?” Wen Runan felt that something was not right. No, it should be that nothing was right!
“You can,” Li Mo’s voice had also changed, from a clear and bright young man’s voice to a cold female voice.
She first opened her eyes, and then slowly moved her hand down. Seeing the person standing in front of her, Wen Runan’s eyes went straight, and her mouth opened unconsciously. She did not come to her senses for a long time.
The first thing Wen Runan saw was Li Mo’s eyes. The star-like eyes had sucked her attention away at once. It was only after her eyes had started to feel dry and astringent that Wen Runan came to her senses and blinked.
“You… you…” Wen Runan felt that she seemed to have lost the ability to speak. The person in front of her not only had star-like eyes, but also a fairy-like face, more beautiful than anyone she had ever seen.
This was truly skin like congealed fat, a neck like a scarab beetle’s larva.
Wen Runan let out the same sigh as when Li Mo had first seen her. Her gaze was also glued to her face, and she did not come to her senses for a long time.
“My shoulder is a little painful,” Li Mo’s eyes were misty, and her crow-feather-like eyelashes fluttered gently, exuding a sense of fragility from the inside out. Paired with the red corners of her eyes, she was particularly pitiful.
Gulp. Wen Runan shamelessly swallowed her saliva. The panicked person had changed from Li Mo to her.
“I’m, I’m sorry. I, I, I…” Wen Runan’s speech began to stutter. Her hands were raised in the air, not knowing what to do.
“Um, do you want me to blow on it for you?” Wen Runan’s face turned red again, but this time, it was not from anger, but from shyness.
Wen Runan could swear that she was definitely not a libertine, but for some reason, her eyes couldn’t help but glance at Li Mo, and she especially liked to land on the skin that was exposed to the air.
The beautiful jawline, the fair and slender neck, and the collarbones that could hold a full spoonful of water, all made Wen Runan unable to look away.
“Mm,” Li Mo nodded gently. “Can you help me lift my clothes? I don’t have any strength in my hands.”
“Al-alright,” Wen Runan swallowed her saliva, and her slightly trembling fingers held the corner of Li Mo’s clothes, her movements extremely gentle.
After lifting her clothes and seeing the deep wound on her shoulder, Wen Runan’s heart was filled with guilt. She looked at Li Mo with some helplessness and apologized again, stammering. She pushed away the black hair that was hanging nearby and carefully blew on the wound.
Seeing that the wound was still bleeding, Wen Runan felt even more guilty.
It would have been fine if the person she had bitten was the real Jiang Ling. Her guilt would not have lasted for more than two breaths, but after discovering that the person she had bitten was a noble and fragile beauty, Wen Runan was almost crying with guilt. It could be said that she was at the peak of self-blame.
After the blood on the edge of the wound had coagulated, Wen Runan’s scared-away reason finally came back. Thinking of Li Mo’s somewhat familiar side profile, she finally reacted.
“You are the Eighth Princess?” Wen Runan looked up and met Li Mo’s eyes again, and was quickly distracted by her outstanding appearance.
Li Mo did not deny it and nodded slowly. “I’m a little cold. Is it convenient to get me a piece of clothing?”
“Ah, alright, alright,” Wen Runan’s line of questioning was interrupted again. She quickly took out two outer robes, put one on Li Mo first, and then put one on herself.
“Princess, how did you disguise yourself as Jiang Ling?” Wen Runan touched her own face. She could successfully disguise herself as Wen Shi because they were already seventy percent similar, but the Eighth Princess and Jiang Ling did not look alike at all, and their figures…
Wen Runan couldn’t help but glance down, and then quickly moved her gaze away and asked as if nothing had happened, “You and Jiang Ling, Princess, don’t seem to have many similarities. Whether it’s your appearance or your height, there’s a big difference.”
“This is a secret art that I know. I can turn myself into another person through a special means,” of course, Li Mo could not say that she had a disguise mask and could only make up a slightly more reliable reason. “The preparation for this secret art takes a long time, and a person can only use it once in a lifetime.”
“Because this secret art is rather special, it’s not convenient for me to say too much. Otherwise, many things will be in a mess.”
Wen Runan nodded, half-believing, half-doubting. She actually didn’t want to believe it at all, but the facts were right in front of her. Whether it was the hand that had covered her eyes or the identical wound on her shoulder, these were all evidence.
“Um, Princess, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose,” Wen Runan was a little restless. She didn’t know what kind of attitude she should have towards Li Mo. “I’ll go and get some medicine and help you deal with the wound.”
Li Mo held Wen Runan’s hand and stopped her actions, letting her sit on the bed with her shoulders touching. “Don’t call me Princess. Call me by my name.”
Seeing Wen Runan’s helplessness, the corners of Li Mo’s lips rose slightly. This was the effect she wanted. She knew that her appearance was very outstanding. After all, she had been a little dazed when she had looked at herself. Not to mention Wen Runan, who was already a bit of a face-connoisseur.
“Ah, your name. What’s your name, Princess?” Wen Runan habitually wanted to shake off the hand that was holding her, but after thinking that the person holding her hand now was a great beauty, she stopped her action.
Li Mo turned to her side and leaned over, her lips touching Wen Runan’s ear. “Li Mo. Call me Li Mo.”
“Li Mo?” Wen Runan repeated it twice in her heart. “Prin—Li Mo, I’d better help you deal with the wound first. If the medicine is not applied in time, it might make the wound worse.”
“Alright,” Li Mo agreed readily this time, letting go of Wen Runan’s hand and watching her take out a small medicine box, and then stood in front of her with a serious expression.
Wen Runan’s movements in applying the medicine were gentle and practiced. In less than a cup of tea’s time, she had cleaned her wound. After applying the medicinal powder, she carefully wrapped it with a cloth strip.
“Um, Li Mo, you need to be a little more careful when you take a shower these few days,” Wen Runan moved her gaze away and quickly tidied up Li Mo’s collar.
“I, I still have to go to the military camp to deal with some things. We, we’ll see each other later,” Wen Runan’s mind was in a mess now. She needed to find a quiet place to sort things out.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you to come back,” Li Mo nodded slowly. “We haven’t finished discussing the matter of the heavy cavalry yet.”
Wen Runan gave a hum, the emotion in her eyes becoming more and more complicated. After glancing at Li Mo’s face one more time, she quickly left.
Li Mo touched her own face and looked at herself in the mirror. The effect of this face seemed to be surprisingly good. With a little bit of acting pitiful, Wen Runan was dizzy and was completely led by the nose by her.
It was a pity. She still needed to use Jiang Ling’s identity now and couldn’t stare at this face all the time.
Li Mo sighed softly, took out the hidden disguise mask and put it on, and turned back into Jiang Ling’s appearance.
**
Wen Runan was very uncalm now, and her disguise was also very perfunctory. After wandering in the small garden for two rounds, she directly rode her horse to the suburbs.
She couldn’t figure it out. She really couldn’t figure it out. Why had a good Jiang Ling turned into the Eighth Princess, into Li Mo?
Jiang Ling and she did have some friendship. In addition, with the current situation, if the two of them cooperated to build a heavy cavalry, it could be said to be mutually beneficial.
But she and the Eighth Princess! She had no friendship with Li Mo at all! They had only met frankly today!
Could it be that Li Mo had liked her brother, Wen Shi, before? So she had pretended to be Jiang Ling and came over?
No, in the previous test, Li Mo must have already discovered the flaw in her. So she had deliberately gotten her drunk.
Thinking of the mark below her collarbone, Wen Runan’s mind was in an even greater mess. It was one thing for Jiang Ling to have his eyes on her. She could barely understand it.
Why would Li Mo do that to her? After seeing her cry, she had even coaxed her like that, giving her horses and armor. What was she after? Could it be that she was after her?
Wen Runan felt that her head was about to explode. After Jiang Ling had turned into Li Mo, she had no idea how to get along with her!

I got it Wen Runan, beautiful face is hard to resist 🫣
