Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1127: The Female Prime Minister 65

After the inspection, Fang Yong was already certain that this group of people was not the one he was searching for, but he was somewhat reluctant to let them leave.

He mainly couldn’t bear to let that beautiful girl go. That girl was just too stunning, so much so that Fang Yong’s heart was still fluttering uncontrollably.

As a wanderer who loved to rove among flowers, Fang Yong even had the thought that if he could have such a beauty by his side, it would be worth giving up his frivolous lifestyle to stay with her alone.

Just at that moment, the frail-looking youth coughed a couple of times, giving Fang Yong a topic to discuss. He addressed the beautiful girl, ”Is this your brother? He seems unwell. Is he sick?”

The girl heard this and showed a worried expression, her brows slightly furrowing with a hint of gentle sorrow, adding a more endearing quality.

Her voice was also pleasant, clear and melodious, reminiscent of a sweet-singing oriole.

The girl’s lovely voice was filled with concern, ”Yes! My brother’s health is not good, and in a rush on the road, he got sick again.

Grandfather is thinking of renting a house in the nearby county town, so my brother can see a doctor and rest for a while.

But we’re unfamiliar with the place and don’t know where there’s a good courtyard to rent, and we’re troubled by it.”

These words hit the mark for Fang Yong, who brightened up and eagerly said, ”I happen to know a place with a good courtyard. Although it’s not big, it’s enough for you to stay temporarily.

If the young lady trusts me, why not rent this courtyard? I’m very familiar with its owner, the price is negotiable, and there aren’t any petty demands.”

In fact, there wasn’t such a conveniently suitable courtyard. The courtyard in question was originally a place Fang Yong used for trysts, but it was currently vacant. Fang Yong immediately thought of using his courtyard to please the beauty.

He didn’t reveal that the courtyard was his because he feared it would make his ulterior motives too obvious, raising the girl’s suspicion, and she wouldn’t agree.

Although Fang Yong didn’t say the courtyard was his, the beautiful girl didn’t immediately agree but instead turned to look at the white-haired old man.

Fang Yong was instantly frustrated, realizing he was so focused on pleasing the beauty that he forgot a girl couldn’t make such a decision alone.

Fang Yong quickly shifted his target and addressed the old man, ”What does the old gentleman think? The courtyard I mentioned is really suitable for your temporary stay.”

The old man stroked his beard and nodded, ”In that case, many thanks to the officer for his trouble. My family is very grateful.”

Fang Yong kindly waved it off, ”It’s not a big deal. As the County Captain, it’s my duty to alleviate the concerns of the common people.”

After that, Fang Yong maintained a very proactive attitude, leading the group straight to the county town, chatting humorously with the beauty he admired, introducing the local customs and traditions along the way.

They encountered several groups searching for bandits on the road. Seeing Fang Yong leading the group to the county town, they merely asked a couple of questions and allowed them to pass without a thorough inspection.

Fang Yong’s house was even better than he described. Though small, it had many rooms, with the courtyard full of flowers and grass, though not rare species, yet pleasant to the eyes.

Fang Yong was good at gauging limits. After bringing everyone to the house, he immediately took his leave without lingering.

On the journey, Fang Yong hadn’t done or said anything inappropriate, and now he was leaving promptly, not coming off as overly eager or having ulterior motives.

After Fang Yong left, Shuangshuang, disguised as the frail youth, coughed, taking out a handkerchief to wipe her neck.

As she wiped, a patch of different color appeared at her Adam’s apple, like a patch affixed to her fair skin.

Shuangshuang rubbed the patch, peeling off a thin, cicada-wing-like gel substance, with a semi-circular ball in the center, which was her Adam’s apple.

Her lips itched; the mustache was stuck on hair by hair by Shuangshuang, making it look very real, though the long application made her upper lip itch.

However, Shuangshuang didn’t plan to remove the mustache, as sticking them on was too much trouble, and she didn’t want to fuss repeatedly.

Wang Ruiqi and Wang Ruibo were washing their faces, which Shuangshuang had covered with black stuff, and their eyelids had a layer of gel to turn their double eyelids into single ones.

With freckles also dotted on their faces, the elegant young men instantly turned into two ordinary-looking, unnoticeable youths.

Watching Shuangshuang and Wang Ruiqi, Wang Ruibo remove their disguises, Wei Yingnan somewhat begrudgingly said to Shuangshuang, ”Sister Shuangshuang, couldn’t you also do a disguise for me? It’s just so intriguing.”

Shuangshuang reluctantly corrected Wei Yingnan again, ”I’ve told you, this is not Disguise Technique, just Makeup Technique, it’s quite easy to learn.

If you like, I can teach you, but transforming using this makeup method is really uncomfortable. If you do it, you’ll definitely regret it.”

Wei Yingnan thought about the hassle when Shuangshuang did the makeup disguise and immediately backed down, ”I’d rather not. My hands are not suited for the delicate work of disguise.

But Sister Shuangshuang, can’t you help me do a disguise just once so I can experience it? I’ve only heard of Disguise Technique in the world but never seen it for real, and now I’ve finally seen it, Sister Shuangshuang, can you help me with one disguise? If it’s uncomfortable, I’ll take it off and never bother you again.”

Shuangshuang was too lazy to continually correct Wei Yingnan on insisting that Makeup Technique be called Disguise Technique. Disguise Technique it is; after all, modern makeup is hardly different from Disguise Technique.

”We are really grateful to Miss Luo today; in the future, I’ll trouble Miss Luo again to help manage County Captain Fang.”

Ignoring Wei Yingnan’s clamor for a disguise, Shuangshuang praised Luo Linlang, who lived up to her reputation as the highest-priced courtesan, having an unparalleled charm.

Without needing many words, just a lowered gaze or a turn would captivate the soul, inadvertently capturing Fang Yong’s heart.

Luo Linlang now had some guesses about why Shuangshuang and the others sought her out, but even if she had suspicions, it was no use as she was now on their ”pirate ship” and couldn’t get off.

As for betraying them, that was impossible because her contract of selling herself was still in their hands, and she was essentially their private property.

If her owners failed, she, as their property, would also face trouble, so the only plan was to assist Shuangshuang and her group through the crisis diligently.
