HELP! These Girls Wants To Kill Me

Chapter 272 272: 272

"What do you mean?" Looking at her laughing maniacally, Yang Ze couldn't help but ask, but the only response he got was her wild laughter.

Yang Ze tried asking her a few more times, but no matter how many times he asked or threatened her, he didn't get any answer. In the end, he just stuffed her mouth with the cloth once again and began to pace around the room.

This sudden statement of Sun Qiao caught him by surprise. He wasn't expecting the Imperial palace to have such a function.

Even if what Sun Qiao just said was false, the seeds of doubt have already been planted in his mind. And with it, the small plan that he had come up with has now gone down the drain.

Earlier, he was thinking of sending his clone there while observing everything from a safe distance. But if what she said was true, then chances are, his clone would dissipate once it entered the palace.

After his 'lessons' with Lin Meilin, he was already aware of the many shortcomings of his clones and their limitations.

"As for illusion…" Yang Ze thought for a long time, but in the end, decided not to use his abilities there. Not until he figured out what was going on.

If before he just wanted to go there to complete the mission, then now, he really wanted to go and take a look at the Imperial Palace. If what Sun Qiao just said was true, then he wanted to see how it worked. He wanted to learn how those things were able to dispel his illusion and clones, so that he wouldn't be caught by surprise in the future.

Once he made up his mind, Yang Ze didn't waste another minute. Hiding the naked figure of Sun Qiao behind an illusion, he rushed out of the house and began to search for the supplies that he needed.

It wasn't until almost two hours had passed that he once again stood in the basement with all sorts of things in front of him.

"Heh." Even though Sun Qiao couldn't speak, the mockery in her voice was obvious. It was as if she were laughing at Yang Ze's futile attempts.

Yang Ze didn't even pay any attention to her, but began to arrange the things in front of him.

It took a while for him to lay out everything that he had just bought before nodding in satisfaction.

He then picked up the only book amongst the items, sat down cross-legged and began to read it.

Sun Qiao didn't know what the other party was doing. Initially, she thought it was going to be another round of torture, but to her surprise, the things that the other party took out were completely opposite of what she was expecting.

Confused, she glanced at the cross-legged figure and in that instant, for the first time in god knows how many years, felt a profound sense of serenity.

It was as if the person in front of her was the centre of the world and his every action, no matter how small, was in complete harmony with the world.

This was the first time Sun Qiao saw something like this, and for a while, she even forgot to breathe.

It wasn't until a good five minutes had passed that she finally woke up from the trance, and this time, the serenity in her eyes was now replaced with incomparable terror, as if she had seen something terrifying.

In that moment, she felt like she was an ant, looking at a mountain.

The absolute suppression she felt a moment ago, along with the feeling of helplessness, was something that she hadn't felt even from the powerhouses at the peak of Foundation Forging.

In that instant, Sun Qiao knew just how unfathomable the one sitting in front of her was, and at the same time, her naked body was covered in sweat. For such a powerful person to impersonate her… she didn't dare to imagine what the other party was planning.

She simply closed her eyes, not even daring to look around.

Though the last thing she saw before closing her eyes filled her with some confusion, she didn't dare to question or think about it.

'How to perfectly apply makeup!?' She didn't know why the other party was reading such a book, but she didn't dare to ask.

"Phew!"

Yang Ze, on the other hand, finally placed the book down before letting out a mouthful of air. He had been reading the book under the effects of the Enlightenment. From applying gloss, to lipstick, to blush, to various other things… in just a few minutes, he had managed to master things that would take a lifetime for others.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the most talented makeup artist in the entire Capital city.

"It should be enough." Yang Ze was, of course, not learning it for fun. Since he had decided to head into the Imperial palace and the illusion won't work there, he had decided to take a different route.

Looking at the numerous items scattered in front of him with an unwilling face, he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself in a soft voice.

"In the end, I still have to do this."

When he first learned about this place and the fact that only women were allowed to enter, he thought about dressing as a girl. Even though he was unwilling to do such a shameful thing, he was willing to do it for Lin Meilin's lesson.

Thankfully, he later realised that he could simply use his illusion to turn himself into whoever he wished to be.

This saved him from the embarrassment of dressing like a girl.

Initially, Yang Ze thought he could complete the entire mission with this process, but Sun Qiao's words dispelled those thoughts.

Although he didn't know whether she was telling the truth or merely bluffing, he didn't dare to take any risks. He could use his clone and illusion to give it a try, but in case Sun Qiao was telling the truth, he would lose a precious opportunity to enter the Imperial Palace.

In the end, he could only choose his very first method.

"Sigh…"

"Thankfully, no one knows me here or what I look like." Consoling himself, Yang Ze tried to fight the shame in his heart.

He glanced at the naked figure of the middle-aged woman before waving his hand and sealing her in a metal box, completely obstructing her vision, leaving only a few holes at the back for ventilation.

It was only then that he snapped his fingers, and with it, the illusory body of the middle-aged woman began to shatter before disappearing completely, leaving behind the figure of a small boy whose appearance eclipsed the moon.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror that he just manifested, Yang Ze almost shed tears of joy.

When was the last time he saw his own face?

Unfortunately for him, this was a short-lived happiness.

After admiring his looks for one last time, he exhaled a mouthful of air and reached towards the first item.

—-------------------------

"Aaaah… What the hell am I supposed to do?"

On the other side, Chen Meili was almost going crazy. Two days had passed since her meeting with Yang Ze.

At first, she thought about reporting everything to her superiors, but the moment this thought came to her mind, the events of that night flashed in her mind as she tightly clenched her legs together, and her breathing hastened.

"...." Unconsciously, her right hand was already placed between her legs as she used her slender fingers to gently rub the skin under the thin cloth that was completely drenched.

"Mmm…" Closing her eyes, she felt like she was back and was being caressed by that mysterious figure once again. But no matter how hard she tried, the pleasure she felt that day was something that she couldn't replicate, no matter how hard she tried.

It was something carved in her soul, impossible to imitate.

"UGGGHHH." Clearly unsatisfied, she let out a muffled groan as she pushed her fingers deeper into the abyss before thrusting them up and down with all her might, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't feel anything.

"DAMN IT." It wasn't until almost thirty minutes had passed that she let out a frustrated roar before picking up the small table beside her and smashing it on the ground in anger.

It took a moment for her to calm herself, but the unbearable itch between her legs was like a persistent maggot that refused to leave.

During the entire time, she was cursing 'Sun Qiao'. It was because of her that she was going through so much agony.

"Should I talk to her?" With every passing moment, the itch was becoming unbearable. For a moment, she even wanted to push down 'Sun Qiao' and sit on her face, forcing her to use her tongue to ease the fire in her body.

But every time this thought came to her mind, she suppressed it.

And just when she was wondering what she should do, she heard the sound of knocking on her door.

*Knock… knock… knock…

"HUH!?" Chen Meili's thoughts were all over the place. She didn't know who was knocking at her door.

"Is there some other announcement?" The first thought that came to her mind was that someone was here to deliver a message.

Putting on the loose robe, she opened the door with some confusion, but the moment she saw the person standing outside, her heart almost stopped beating.

"Su… Sun Qiao."

"What are you doing here?" Who would have thought that the person she was dreaming of just a moment ago would be standing right in front of her?

For a moment, she almost pounced on her, but managed to hold herself back.

"Didn't you say that you would take me to the recruitment for the Imperial palace?"

It was only then that Chen Meili realised why she was standing in front of her.

"So soon?" She couldn't help but mutter to herself. Who would have thought that three days would pass in the blink of an eye?

"Wait here." Signalling Yang Ze to wait there, she rushed in to change into a new set of clothes and, after a few minutes, walked out of the house.

Compared to her flamboyant style of wearing minimal clothing, she was wearing a violet robe with golden designs all over it.

Her hair was tied up neatly, and there was a faint blush on her face as she walked.

"Let's go." Taking a deep look at the seemingly ordinary middle-aged woman beside her, Chen Meili whispered in a soft voice as the two of them made their way towards their destination.

—---------------------------

"Hmm… Is it starting?" Inside one of the most luxurious rooms in the imperial palace, a lazy voice filled the room, asking for an answer, but the only thing that replied was silence.

"I wonder what surprise I am about to get."

"Heh…" With a soft, enchanting laughter, the entire imperial palace trembled for a moment before once again descending into silence.

And on the other side of the Imperial palace, the recruitment for the Imperial palace has finally started…
