The village beauty, Chapter 073; Super Disguise Technique 073; Super Disguise Technique 073; Super Disguise Technique 073. The events of today have been the most thrilling and astonishing that Lu Yun has ever witnessed—almost identical to scenes portrayed in wuxia novels on television. As a result, he leaned forward, pressing his body against the back of Iron Heart Lan, and a wildly imaginative thought suddenly arose in his mind. This content constitutes the textual material of Chapter 073 of "The Village Beauty." Specifically, he wondered: Could Iron Heart Lan, much like the heroic women in martial arts circles, have deliberately altered her appearance to facilitate her travels across the world? In other words, might she be proficient in the legendary art of disguise? The thought was so extraordinary that he simply uttered it without any conscious deliberation.
Yet Lin Xīn Lán’s words seemed to inject a surge of energy into him. He slid down beside her, half-kneeling, his eyes wide with exhilaration, fixed intently on her flushed cheeks—as if watching to see whether she were still wearing a human mask. "What are you looking at? Do I have acne on my face?" Lin Xīn Lán cooed, displaying the sweet, youthful demeanor of a little girl. "Miss Xīn Lán, I can’t wait to see your true appearance!" Lu Yun was eager and agitated, his emotions now as turbulent as a pot of boiling oil into which a single drop of water had been dropped—crashing and splashing in all directions. Lin Xīn Lán gently bit her lower lip, gazing steadily at Lu Yun for a while, then murmured softly, "Are you truly eager to see it? If I suddenly transform into some kind of ugly oddity, will you regret your choice now?"
"Well... as for this question, Lu Yun has never really thought about it before. However, based on what he's seen on TV and in wuxia novels, most female martial heroes tend to make themselves less attractive—slightly plain—rather than transform into stunning beauties who attract all the attention. Of course, there are always exceptions, but those usually occur among women who are naturally free-spirited yet unusually unattractive. Although there's been a certain connection between Lu Yun and Iron Xinlan, he firmly believes that Iron Xinlan isn't someone who lives a carefree, bohemian life—this content is from Chapter 073 of the series 'Rural Beauty.' With a flurry of thoughts racing through his mind, Lu Yun replied crisply, 'No, even if Xinlan sister becomes less beautiful than she is now, I will still love you just as much as always.' 'Pfft! How conceited of you, a young kid like you to know what it means to like or dislike someone.'
"Iron-hearted Lan laughed and used both arms to lift herself up, straightening her clothes, then turned to Lu Yun and said, 'Turn around and don't peek! You can only look at me when I tell you to. Otherwise, I'll be ready to flip my temper at any moment.' By this point, even if Lu Yun were to run around the playground twice and come back, he'd agree without hesitation—let alone just turning around. With a quick nod, he said, 'You can rest assured. As a man, I'm no stranger to modesty—I'll never glance at you.' Saying that, he turned around, took a few steps forward, and sat down on a chair. 'Just remember what I've just said, okay?'
As Ironxinlan spoke, she also turned around. She loosened her hairpins and then swiftly moved her hands over her face...
Lü Yun sat in his chair, never having felt time pass so slowly. To him, every passing minute seemed like a painful ordeal. He found himself several times wanting to turn around and glance at her secretly, yet he was afraid of making Ironxinlan angry—then he’d surely lose his chance.
The anticipation continued. Lü Yun began to wonder: Didn’t all the female heroes wear a human mask that they simply pulled off to reveal their true faces? How come Ironxinlan was still taking so long? Wasn’t it possible that, after her injury and with her mood depressed, she was merely teasing him?
But then he dismissed that thought. Her expression earlier didn’t seem like she was pretending. Wait. Wait. Just one more minute. If she hasn’t finished by then, I’ll turn around without hesitation.
Time slipped away second by second, and with just one minute left on the clock, Iron Xinlan still hadn't spoken, hadn't moved to make him turn around. Lu Yun felt utterly frustrated—was it really his imagination playing tricks on him, was he being deliberately played for a fool by Iron Xinlan? He silently counted the time, and just as he was about to turn, Iron Xinlan's voice suddenly broke through: "Lu Yun, you can now turn around—but be prepared to be disappointed." Lu Yun exhaled in relief, yet immediately grew tense at her final words. If, as she said, his appearance suddenly became utterly unattractive, how would he face her?
Now that it's come to this, there's no choice but to push him into the role—he has to step up. Suddenly turning around, what meets his gaze is neither a breathtaking, flawless beauty nor an unattractive, plain appearance, but the silhouette of a woman facing away from him: tall and graceful, her hair flowing over her shoulders, dressed in a flowing white dress. This scene is from Chapter 073 of the story "Rural Beauty."
"Xinlan姐…" Lu Yun swallowed hard, dryly. It was no wonder it had taken so long—she had even changed out of her clothes. Simply by observing her back, one could already imagine the extraordinary beauty she must possess. Yet Lu Yun also well knew the truth: that a woman's back can charm an army, while her face might daunt a million soldiers.
"Lu Yun," Xinlan's voice, calm as a quiet stream in a valley or a steady drip from a bronze water vessel, echoed softly, "do you now find me beautiful or unattractive?"
"Xinlan姐,我……" Lu Yun felt dry in his mouth and throat, not knowing what to say. He was mentally cursing her mysterious behavior—how could she be so elusive when we were nearly frantic? Just turn around and give us a clear answer, either! Whether you're beautiful or not, we'll accept it!
Tie Xinlan smiled gently. "What's the matter? Scared senseless, have you? I've already warned you to prepare mentally—don't listen to the elders and you'll regret it. Shall I go to the mortuary and book you a fine coffin? That way, you won't have to be a wandering spirit after death, bullied by vengeful ghosts just because no one claims you."
