66: Divine Disguise

Ya Ya stared, dumbfounded, and said, "You...how do you know all this?"

How did Liu Jiangyi know?

He was once a child, and now he is a father!

How could he not understand what a child was thinking?

What's more, Ya Ya had shown so many times before that she wanted to prove herself.

If Liu Jiangyi couldn't even grasp this mentality, then he had truly lived in vain.

Liu Jiangyi smiled and said, "I don't know these things; your father told me."

"Father?" Ya Ya's eyes reddened, "Did he...did he always know what I was thinking?"

"Of course." Liu Jiangyi rubbed Ya Ya's forehead and smiled, "Your father knew what was on your mind long ago, but as a father, he couldn't bear to let you venture out alone."

"This time, you capturing me and remaining calm in such a large situation proved yourself to your father."

"After your father arrived, I spoke with him, and after much difficulty, I convinced him to let you go out and explore, and he left his sword for your protection."

"Then why didn't he wait for me to wake up before he left?" Ya Ya was still a little puzzled.

Liu Jiangyi said bitterly, "How can parents bear to part with their children?"

"He was afraid that if you woke up, he wouldn't have the heart to let you go."

"He told me that if you are determined to prove yourself, then don't return to see him until you become a truly independent and strong individual."

"Otherwise, he will look down on you for the rest of his life and never let you leave his side for even half a step."

Upon hearing this, tears rolled down Ya Ya's cheeks.

"Father..."

She sobbed for a long time, then finally looked up into the distance, wiped the tears from her beautiful eyes, and a hint of determination appeared.

"Father, I will definitely prove it to you, prove it to every member of the Beast King Clan in Hanshan City, that I, Ya Ya, am not someone who relies on my father; I am amazing on my own!"

With that, Ya Ya wiped away her tears and walked straight back.

Looking at Ya Ya's hopeful expression, Liu Jiangyi felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

He couldn't imagine how much pain Ya Ya would feel when she returned to Hanshan City in the future and discovered the truth.

At this moment, Liu Jiangyi was in a daze.

He had always firmly believed that humans were righteous and that all Dimensional Beings deserved to die.

But did Ya Ya deserve to die?

Did Hei Yun deserve to die?

Did the Beast King Clan people of Hanshan City deserve to die?

He didn't know...

But he did see them buying and selling humans as pets.

He also saw the low status of humans in Hanshan City.

But the problem was.

Aren't Dimensional Beings equally lowly in the hands of humans?

But in the end!

Dimensional Beings are invaders of the Blue Star.

If not for their arrival, the Blue Star would not have become such a living hell.

Liu Jiangyi gave a bitter smile and withdrew his thoughts.

He couldn't judge the right or wrong of humans and Dimensional Beings, and he couldn't even judge the right or wrong of Ya Ya.

Ya Ya had never killed anyone.

But wasn't the Blood Demon Wolf, which killed Demon Two, Demon Three, and the Martial Arts Academy students, Ya Ya's pet?

Without Ya Ya's authorization, how could it have cruelly attacked humans?

Thinking of this, Liu Jiangyi's heart struggled even more.

His feelings for Ya Ya were somewhat complicated.

If it weren't for Ya Ya, he wouldn't have fallen to this point, but if he hadn't met Ya Ya, but instead met other powerful Dimensional Beings.

Liu Jiangyi wouldn't have been able to live until now.

Perhaps the world is just like this.

There are never absolutely good people, nor absolutely bad people.

It's just that at a certain point in time, a certain action we take can be labeled as good or bad, right?

...

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Liu Jiangyi shouted at Ya Ya, who was walking briskly forward.

"I don't know, I'll just walk anywhere," Ya Ya said without looking back.

"Let me take you to a place."

"What place?" Ya Ya turned to look at Liu Jiangyi, blinking her big eyes in confusion.

"A place where humans live."

"Is it fun?" Ya Ya quickly ran over.

Liu Jiangyi smiled and said, "It's fun, but you definitely can't go like this. Can you hide your ears and tail?"

Hei Yun didn't have any beast characteristics on him.

That's why Liu Jiangyi asked.

"Ah! No!" Ya Ya covered her black ears, "My ears are so cute, I don't want to hide them."

"So you can hide them then?" Liu Jiangyi was delighted.

"I can, but I don't want to!" Ya Ya continued to shake her head.

Liu Jiangyi chuckled, "Ya Ya, hiding your ears is the first step to proving yourself to your father, you know."

Liu Jiangyi looked exactly like a bad uncle abducting a little girl.

It's just that this little girl seemed a bit too old.

"What does this have to do with proving myself to my father?" Ya Ya asked, puzzled.

Liu Jiangyi explained, "Look, your father doesn't show his ears, which definitely proves that your father doesn't like showing ears. It's just that you like it, so he didn't say anything."

"If you can change this for your father, he will definitely be very touched."

"Moreover, humans and your Beast King Clan are almost irreconcilable. If you can live in a human settlement for a few years, won't your little sisters and your father all look at you with new eyes!"

"That's right!" Ya Ya suddenly realized. She shook her head, and then her two cat ears and cat tail instantly disappeared.

Those cat ears turned into two normal human ears.

Ya Ya like this indeed lacked some of her unique beauty, but she was still stunning. Her slightly darkened skin, combined with those blue eyes, gave her a unique aesthetic.

"Not bad, not bad, this is much better. Next is the problem with the Demonic Qi on your body."

"Can you conceal the Demonic Qi on your body?"

"No." Ya Ya shook her head, "I can only help others conceal their human aura; I can't conceal my Demonic Qi."

"Is that so." Liu Jiangyi had a headache.

If Ya Ya's Demonic Qi couldn't be concealed, anyone would be able to tell that she was different from ordinary humans.

This wouldn't do.

[Ding! Even the old have a compassionate heart. To facilitate the host in doing good deeds and accumulating merit, the System issues the seventh mission:]

[Please bring Ya Ya back to human inhabited areas.]

[Mission Reward: Divine-Grade Disguise Art]

[Completion Progress: 0/1 (Accepting the mission allows for an advance on the reward. Failure to complete the mission within three days will result in humane destruction)]

Liu Jiangyi: ???

Humane destruction?

What the hell!

Although the System's failure penalty was a bit messed up, this mission reward was exactly what Liu Jiangyi needed.

He accepted the mission without hesitation.

[Reward obtained: Divine-Grade Disguise Art]

[Divine-Grade Disguise Art: Changes appearance, conceals aura, an essential skill for home travel, murder, and robbery.]

Perfect!

It was indeed a skill that could conceal aura.

"Ya Ya, come here."

Liu Jiangyi pulled Ya Ya over, then used the Divine-Grade Disguise Art on her.

Sure enough!

A few seconds later, the Demonic Qi on Ya Ya's body was completely suppressed!
