The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 334 Change of Appearance

Xiao Yuan was a palace guard serving Li Cunxu. He was a man of few words but a trustworthy person.

That day, he suddenly found Li Cunxu and said with a worried look on his face:

“Your Highness, my mother has suddenly fallen seriously ill. I request to resign from my position as a palace guard and return to my hometown to visit her.”

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu, though reluctant to lose such a capable subordinate, still granted his request:

"Xiao Yuan, go in peace. Family matters come first. You have followed me for many years, and I cannot treat you unfairly."

After saying that, Li Cunxu gave Xiao Yuan a considerable sum of money.

Xiao Yuan nodded gratefully, spurred his horse and galloped towards the mountains where Yao Hua was located, his heart burning with anxiety.

He knew that Yaohua was the daughter of the Minister of War. Although she was skilled in martial arts, it was still somewhat dangerous for her to live alone in the mountains.

When he finally arrived at Yaohua's residence, the scene before him took him by surprise.

A group of bandits surrounded Yaohua, harassing her and threatening to hand her over to the authorities.

It turned out that these bandits had discovered that Yaohua was a wanted person by the imperial court and intended to use this to curry favor and gain rewards.

Although Yaohua tried her best to maneuver, she was ultimately outnumbered and gradually showed signs of fatigue and weakness.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan drew his sword without hesitation and charged into the bandit group.

Although his martial arts skills were not as high as those of Li Cunxu and Qi Yuxuan, they were more than enough to deal with these petty thieves.

"Splash splash splash!"

Xiao Yuan brandished his longsword with clean and swift movements, and he killed all the bandits.

Yao Hua breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Yuan gratefully:

"Thank you, Xiao Yuan. If you hadn't arrived in time, I probably wouldn't have been able to get away."

Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and sheathed his longsword:

"Yaohua, there's no need to be so polite. Have you thought it through? Are you willing to grow old with me?"

Yao Hua nodded, feeling a growing respect for the taciturn guard.

"Yaohua, we can't stay here any longer."

Xiao Yuan's voice was deep and firm.

"It's no longer safe here; we must leave immediately."

Yao Hua watched as the sky gradually darkened and hesitated for a moment:

"Xiao Yuan, it's getting late. Let's set off tomorrow. We can rest here tonight and recharge our energy."

Xiao Yuan was well aware of Yao Hua's worries, but his own unease prevented him from feeling at ease.

However, seeing the determination in her eyes, he nodded:

"Okay, but we must be vigilant."

As night falls, a tranquil atmosphere permeates the mountains and forests.

Yao Hua and Xiao Yuan lit a campfire outside the simple thatched hut, the warm flames illuminating their figures.

The two sat outside the thatched roof, and Yaohua recounted the pain of the Zhao family being destroyed and killed within a few days, leaving her nowhere to hide.

The night was enchanting, with a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.

In the bloom of youth, they poured out their hearts to each other.

The past events are vivid and can be recounted in detail.

It comforts the lonely and brings joy and warmth to the heart.

Xiao Yuan listened quietly, and when he was moved, he held Yao Hua in his arms.

Yao Hua looked at Xiao Yuan, her eyes filled with a mixture of shyness and determination.

"Xiao Yuan, thank you for treating me so sincerely even after all this."

Her voice was soft yet powerful.

"From this day forward, I am willing to follow you through life and death, never to leave you."

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then gripped Yao Hua's hand tightly:

"Yaohua, it's the same for me. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, I will stay by your side."

At that moment, their hearts were intertwined, as if the whole world had stopped for them.

The two kissed under the moonlight, and Xiao Yuan carried Yao Hua into the thatched hut. Yao Hua then gave Xiao Yuan her first time as a virgin.

At that moment, their fates became intertwined, and they became the most important people in each other's lives.

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed into the forest, waking the lovers.

Xiao Yuan and Yao Hua quickly packed their belongings and set off immediately.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at a remote valley.

Legend has it that there is a rare plastic surgery master here – Lingxu Ghost Hand.

It is said that Lingxu Ghost Hand is a master of disguise, capable of completely changing a person's appearance.

Even the closest people can hardly recognize them.

Xiao Yuan took out all his savings and knelt before Lingxu Ghost Hand:

"Master, please help us change our appearance so that we can live in anonymity and stay away from the strife of the world."

Lingxu Ghost Hand nodded slightly, his gaze profound:

“You two are deeply devoted to each other and deserve our help. I will use my disguise skills to give you a completely new look.”

Lingxu Ghost Hand took out an ancient scroll covered with mysterious runes.

He chanted the incantation softly, and the runes shimmered with a strange light, gradually merging into Xiao Yuan and Yao Hua's bodies.

Then, Lingxu Ghost Hand took out a dagger, needle and thread, and a mysterious medicine box to modify the faces of the two people.

Xiao Yuan's originally cold and stern face became gentle and refined, with a scholarly air about him.

Yao Hua transformed from a pure and refined beauty into a gentle and charming girl, just like the girl next door.

Even their closest friends find it difficult to recognize their true identities.

Lingxu Ghost Hand smiled and said, "From now on, you will live with a completely new look."

Xiao Yuan and Yao Hua exchanged a smile and expressed their gratitude to Lingxu Ghost Hand.

Just as Lingxu Guishou was off guard, Yaohua suddenly and secretly stabbed Lingxu Guishou in the abdomen with a dagger she had hidden in her hand.

"How could you kill the senior?"

Xiao Yuan was shocked.

"Only when he is gone will Yaohua and Xiao Yuan no longer exist in this world."

"Yaohua, since things have come to this, I only ask that you put aside all past grievances and refrain from indiscriminately killing innocent people."

Yao Hua nodded.

The two agreed that Yao Hua would change her name to Xiao Peifeng, and Xiao Yuan would change his name to Zhao Yuanting.

The two buried the Ghost Hand of the Void and hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, at the Prince of Jin's residence, Qi Yuxuan stayed by Qiu Ziyue's bedside without ever leaving her side.

Whenever the night is quiet, Qi Yuxuan would silently hold her hand and whisper his worries and longing.

He was afraid of losing Qiu Ziyue again. She had disappeared once before, and that experience still haunted him like a nightmare.

This time, he vowed to stay by her side no matter what and never let her disappear again.

As the Prince of Jin, Li Cunxu would visit Qiu Ziyue whenever he had free time, in addition to dealing with his busy affairs of state.

He knew how important Qiu Ziyue was to Qi Yuxuan, and he understood her deep worry and concern.

Finally, on the third night, Qiu Ziyue slowly opened her eyes.

She saw Qi Yuxuan lying by the bed, fast asleep.

She knew he was exhausted.

She remembered what had happened before she fainted, and she ran towards him with great joy.

However, he misunderstood her and slapped her unconscious.

She knew that Qi Yuxuan hit her because he was angry, but she didn't know how to face Qi Yuxuan.

After all, this was the first time Qi Yuxuan had ever laid a hand on someone since they got married.

She loved the man in front of her so deeply, yet she didn't know how to forgive him or how to face Li Cunxu.

She didn't want to lose face by making Qi Yuxuan beg for forgiveness in front of many people.

Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu are both exceptional men, outstanding in appearance and ability, and so excellent and proud.

She married all of them, though her marriage to Li Cunxu was out of necessity. Yet, it seemed she had already fallen for him deep down.

She thought to herself, what have I done to deserve such treatment from two men?

She closed her eyes and pretended to be fast asleep. After thinking it over, she decided to leave.

She gently got up and pressed acupoints on the sleeping Qi Yuxuan.

He quickly took out paper and pen, wrote a letter, and then quietly jumped out of the window.
