Chapter 231: 147: I am Suo Lun! (2 updates)_2

His face was like the skin of a toad, equally eerie and terrifying.

Even though Yan Shuang and Miss Turing had already ignored the man’s face, the sight of such an ugly and frightening visage still startled them greatly.

"Cursed demon face, were you born with the magic blemish disease?" Miss Turing asked, her voice trembling.

"Yes, the magic blemish disease, brought from my mother’s womb. It would have spread all over my body before the age of thirty and then I would have died in agony," Suo Lun sighed. "Previously, you said that my crude and sallow face was unbearably ugly, but you didn’t know that it was already the most beautiful face I had."

How did Suo Lun come by this magic blemish face?

The frightening blemishes and wrinkles were created by a special liquid applied to his face, after which Yao Xing used complex energy to warp his face, creating the illusion of the magic blemish disease.

In fact, his face at this moment was still different from that of the magic blemish disease, but it was so ugly that most girls wouldn’t dare to take a second look, let alone reach out to touch it and examine it closely. Therefore, it was difficult to distinguish the differences at a glance.

As expected, Miss Turing was terrified and had no intention of coming over to touch it.

After a short shock, Miss Turing sneered, "Suo Lun, you’re quite cruel to yourself, using a special liquid to torture your handsome face into such a state. Aren’t you afraid of ruining your looks?"

Suo Lun closed his eyes in pain, making his ugly face even more frightening, and then sighed, "Miss Turing, if it were possible, I would truly be willing to give anything to exchange this face, even if just for one day. So... how wonderful it would be if I were the Suo Lun you speak of."

Then, his gaze turned to the portrait of Suo Lun on the wall, filled with indescribable desolation and pain.

At this moment, his performance was absolutely perfect, not necessarily Oscar-worthy, but at least on the level of the Huabiao Awards.

Seeing his performance, Miss Turing began to doubt herself. Could it be she had guessed wrong? She had always relied on her keen intuition, which had hardly ever failed her. Could she have been mistaken this time?

No, Suo Lun was incredibly sly, capable of any trickery. Miss Turing firmly believed that the person before her was Suo Lun, because at this time, he would definitely appear by Yan Shuang’s side.

Having reaffirmed her conviction, Miss Turing stared intently into Suo Lun’s eyes and sneered, "Suo Lun, you can use a special liquid to make your face look neither human nor ghost to hide your true identity. However, there is one absolute piece of evidence that can prove you are Suo Lun."

"Speak, whatever evidence it is, I am willing to cooperate," Suo Lun said.

Miss Turing asked Yan Shuang, "When you were intimate with Suo Lun, did you ever see his body?"

Yan Shuang shook her head, "Our relationship was based on affection but stayed within the bounds of propriety; there was no skin-to-skin contact."

Miss Turing said, "Suo Lun pursued all the beautiful girls at the Royal City Academy, but he was the only one who let me be. Do you know why?"

Suo Lun was also very curious as to why? Miss Turing was the most beautiful girl of her class, and the former playboy Suo Lun actually let her be? Could it be because of her special status, but he was someone who even dared to relentlessly pursue Princess Zhining, was there any woman of status he wouldn’t chase?

Miss Turing said, "Actually, Suo Lun once overstepped his bounds and molested me. Unlike Yan Nai’er, who simply punched him a few times, I taught him an unforgettable lesson for life. My sword struck his chest six times in a row, leaving six deep holes. Moreover, each thrust released dragon energy directly into his heart, causing his heart to stop abruptly for a full half-minute. He brushed shoulders with death. Since then, he has never dared to come within ten meters of me."

At these words, Suo Lun immediately looked at Miss Turing in astonishment; this woman was truly ruthless.

No wonder Suo Lun never dared to pursue her again, utterly avoiding her as if she were a snake or scorpion.

"I left six plum blossom-shaped scars deep to the bone on Suo Lun’s chest, which are indelible," Miss Turing said coldly, her gaze piercing. "It wouldn’t be such a coincidence that there are also six plum blossom scars on your chest, would it?"

At this moment, Suo Lun could hardly refrain from bursting into laughter. If he were really Suo Lun, then naturally, he would be exposed. But he was not Suo Lun; he was Lanling from Earth, so naturally, he had no so-called six plum blossom scars on his heart.

Then, while staring at Miss Turing’s face, he took off his clothes one by one, revealing his bare upper body.

"Is it this spot?" Suo Lun asked with a cold sneer, pointing to the area over his heart.

Advancing forward, Turing Duo’s eyes widened as she inspected Suo Lun’s chest, which was smooth and intact, devoid of any scars, let alone a six-pointed plum blossom scar.

"I... did I really make a mistake? This scar, it’s absolutely impossible to erase," Turing Duo said with a trembling voice, scrutinizing his chest area for a long time.

After a full two minutes, Turing Duo repressed all expression and said to Suo Lun, "I’m sorry, I’ve mistaken you for someone else."

Suo Lun did not speak but meticulously dressed himself.

Turning to Yan Shuang, Turing Duo continued, "Miss Yan Shuang, even if he isn’t Suo Lun, he’s afflicted with the demonic patch disease. His face is the stuff of nightmares, and moreover, he won’t live past thirty. Are you sure you want to choose him over my dashing and handsome brother Liu Chen?"

"Liu Chen?" Suo Lun asked in confusion.

Turing Duo explained: "My brother, Turing Chen, a man so infatuated with Miss Yan Shuang that he took the tonsure for her. He’s a thousand times more handsome than you, and his martial skills are a thousand times stronger. He’s more than capable of protecting Yan Shuang and her Silver Wolf Legion."

Yan Shuang looked at Suo Lun’s face and then shook her head, saying, "I’ve already promised Lanling that he would assist me by my side, so I absolutely won’t go back on my word. No matter what he looks like, I only seek virtue and wisdom. As for Liu Chen, I can only say I’m sorry."

Turing Duo gave Yan Shuang a deep look and said, "Such stubbornness to the point of stupidity. Well, then wait for the destruction of the Silver Wolf Legion. Besides, death may even be the best outcome for you. A woman as beautiful as you—the most terrible fate would be being unable to live or die."

Then she turned to Suo Lun, "If you truly love this woman, you should watch over her safe and happy life. A toad like you should hide in the corner, crying as you watch her happiness, not come out and scare people."

With that, Turing Duo left with long strides, exiting the underground chamber.

"Yan Nai’er, after dawn breaks, the horn signaling the downfall of the Silver Wolf shall sound, and I will await your doomed end." Her voice came from above ground and then drifted away, leaving the Silver Wolf Legion’s camp.

...

In the entire secret chamber, only Suo Lun and Yan Shuang remained; silence engulfed them, and neither spoke.

Suddenly, Yan Shuang reached out with her jade-like hand and caressed Suo Lun’s terrifying face. She seemed entirely oblivious to its devilish ugliness and nauseousness as she touched every inch.

Simultaneously, the pain in her gaze shattered and cracked bit by bit.

"Alright, Turing Duo has left. Now you can tell me, are you really Suo Lun or not?" Yan Shuang uttered each word deliberately, with tears swirling in her eyes. Her voice was no longer cold but filled with painful sorrow.

Suo Lun’s heart jerked, and he was immediately dumbfounded, wholly unsure how to respond.

What was this situation? Turing Duo hadn’t recognized him—could it be...could it be that Yan Shuang had?

That made no sense. He had given away no clues; there was no way she could recognize him!

Yan Shuang struggled to hold back the tears in her eyes, looking intently at Suo Lun as she said, "Take your time to think about the answer. Regardless of what you say, I will accept it. If you say you are not Suo Lun, then I will treat you as if you’re not! No matter the cost, I accept that. I could be deceived by a man once and I can be deceived again."

If this were anyone else, Suo Lun would have thought it a bluff.

But this girl before him, with an innocence that was pure to the extreme, could never harbor any deceit toward the man she had once deeply loved.

Suo Lun’s face began to twitch, his pretense crumbling away. Eventually, even his breathing became trembling and erratic as tears slid from his eyes. "Yes, I am Suo Lun, I am that bastard!"

No sooner had he spoken those words than Yan Shuang’s eyes overflowed with irrepressible tears, flooding out completely.
