Chapter 67: Chapter 53: Jun Yao, Do You Know What’s Going On With This Spot on My Face?

Ming Ye: "..."

Fu Yuan: "..."

’How am I supposed to tell her the truth?’

"Uh... maybe you should just take a look in the mirror!"

After a moment’s thought, Fu Yuan made the suggestion. Seeing the serious look on his face, Jiang Yunnuan realized this was no simple matter. Without a second thought, she opened her Light Brain and switched it to selfie mode.

The Light Brain’s selfie mode was even sharper and more detailed than a mirror. The moment she saw the face in the camera, her eyes flew wide in utter disbelief.

’What is going on?’

’Can someone please tell me how this spot grew bigger? It’s not a living thing!’

’It couldn’t be some kind of parasite, could it?’

The thought of this world’s revolting and bizarre Insect Race made her shudder.

"System, what in the world is going on with this spot on my face? Why did it get bigger?"

[I don’t know, either. Your face was already like this by the time my lockdown was lifted.]

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’I knew this damn system was unreliable!’

’Ugh, so what in the world is wrong with this spot?’

’Is it really a parasite?’

She frowned and shut off her Light Brain. She racked her brain but still couldn’t figure out what was happening. Frustrated, she headed back into the villa, just in time to run into Jun Yao coming downstairs.

He had changed out of his casual clothes and was now wearing a custom-made combat suit.

The silver-and-black combat suit, with its metallic texture, perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. It made his physique look even more powerful and imposing, both domineering and magnificent. He looked like a War God descended to the mortal realm, so handsome it was almost blinding.

But Jiang Yunnuan was in no mood to admire the view.

She strode over, tilted her head up, and asked, "Jun Yao, do you know what’s going on with this spot on my face?"

The man’s brow twitched. He reached out to lift her chin, brushing a strand of hair from her cheek with his other hand. He studied her face intently for a moment before speaking slowly.

"This spot... it does look a little different."

’He knew the change in its appearance would make her and the other three suspicious, but it was unavoidable. He couldn’t replicate the original spot perfectly; he could only create something similar.’

"So, you don’t know either, huh?"

Jiang Yunnuan was a little dejected, but she supposed it made sense.

’The guy went berserk and spent the whole time pinning me down and forcing himself on me. How could he possibly have had time to notice my face?’

"Mm."

He nodded without a hint of guilt and added, "Go change into your combat suit. We’re heading out on a mission."

’A mission?’ 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Jiang Yunnuan’s attention was immediately diverted.

’Besides, the check-in missions follow me wherever I go, so traveling won’t be a problem. We already accepted these other missions, and I already agreed to go with Ming Ye and Fu Yuan. Might as well get it over with.’

After she finished changing, she found Fu Yuan and Ming Ye, also in combat suits, waiting for her in the courtyard with Jun Yao.

For once, as she looked at the three tall, long-legged, and incredibly handsome men, she wasn’t captivated by their good looks.

"Hey, wait a minute... where’s Si Xie? How come I haven’t seen him?"

As she said it, Jiang Yunnuan realized that she hadn’t seen Si Xie at all since waking up. Something felt wrong.

"Him? He was injured by the blast of Energy from Jun Yao’s rampage. He’s probably still unconscious."

Fu Yuan replied, though he hadn’t actually seen Si Xie get hurt himself. He had been in the middle of a breakthrough at the time.

Jiang Yunnuan pressed her lips together. The image of Si Xie’s panicked face when Jun Yao had her by the throat flashed through her mind, and her heart couldn’t help but soften.

"Wait for me here for a moment."

With that, she turned and headed back inside. At the sight, Jun Yao’s expression instantly darkened. His eyes grew terrifyingly cold, and a dangerous aura radiated from him, making him look as if he could fly into a rage at any moment.

Fu Yuan and Ming Ye immediately sensed the shift; even the air seemed to have grown cold.

’Isn’t this guy’s possessiveness a little too intense?’

’Just because they slept together, he thinks she’s his property now?’

’How ridiculous!’
