Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 345 - 298: Return to Screaming Demon Lake (Four in One) (Additional Chapter for 8700 Monthly Tickets in May)
"So... why half-demon?"
Qin Chuan stood in front of a mirror, examining his entirely new look.
With Pei Ma'er's help, he had changed into a completely different style of clothing, with several red scales appearing on his forehead.
Those were not simple decorative patches that could be identified at a glance, but rather life-like structures temporarily attached to Qin Chuan's forehead by Pei Ma'er using the unique Life Magic of the Moon Spirit Clan. Unless one used powerful detection skills, it was impossible to see through the disguise.
Pei Ma'er was busy around Lin Yue, and without lifting her head, she said, "The Crystal Clan and your Human Race resemble each other the most in appearance, but they are hard to impersonate."
"Due to the special crystals in their bodies, which have an extremely high conversion efficiency for Extraordinary Power, their bodies naturally exhibit an overflow of Extraordinary Power, a kind of energy that can be perceived at a glance."
"Another clan that closely resembles the Human Race in appearance is the Dragon Clan, but the number of individuals in the Dragon Clan is the smallest among the six clans at the Heavenly Dome Rank," Pei Ma'er paused, "so few that any Dragon would recognize all of their kin."
"So if you were disguised as Dragons, you would be exposed immediately upon encountering one."
"In comparison, half-demons are the best choice," Pei Ma'er said with a grin, "They are numerous, and due to different beast forms, there are many sub-groups within the clan, so even if there are a couple more of the same clan, no one would care."
"The most important thing is..."
"Half-demons always give off a not-so-smart impression!"
Hearing this, the corner of Qin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly.
From his encounters with half-demons, that was indeed the case.
These fellows were not stupid, just that their way of doing things was too straightforward; they rarely used their brains when strength could solve the problem.
Disguising as such a clan indeed made it easier to go unnoticed.
"Alright!" Pei Ma'er stepped back to admire her masterpiece, revealing a satisfied smile, "The effect is quite good!"
Qin Chuan looked towards Lin Yue.
Under Pei Ma'er's magic, Lin Yue's eye corners now sported a large patch of shiny scales, which gleamed with iridescent colors in the sunlight, resembling the splendid wings of a butterfly.
This did not detract from her beauty at all; instead, it added a new charm to her allure that she had never had before.
Additionally, the feminine attire of the Half-demon Clan possessed a wild beauty not found in ordinary clothing, subtly altering Lin Yue's temperament.
"Isn't this too conspicuous?" Lin Yue looked at herself in the mirror, her face showing a bashful expression.
"Not at all," Pei Ma'er quickly shook her head.
"Half-demons love to display their beastly features, the more obvious, the better, so such a posture is quite normal for half-demons."
"But one thing you must be careful of, my strength is not very strong, so the disguising magic can't last forever," Pei Ma'er said softly, "If you fully unleash your own power, it will disappear immediately."
"That's enough," Qin Chuan smiled, "Anyway, we still have to thank you for your help."
"With this disguise, we can move unhindered at the Heavenly Dome Rank." Lin Yue's face showed eagerness.
If it hadn't been for a little interruption earlier, she had intended to blend into the crowd and explore those stalls.
"It's just some help that I could offer," Pei Ma'er smiled, "I look forward to the day you truly ascend the Heavenly Dome Rank."
With limited time for conquering the instance, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue soon bid farewell to Pei Ma'er.
Watching the two depart, Pei Ma'er withdrew her gaze and returned to the courtyard before entering the house.
She hummed a melodious tune as she stepped into a quiet room, looking at a painting hanging there that depicted a purple moon, and her expression turned serious.
With her hands crossed in front of her, Pei Ma'er closed her eyes and spoke softly.
"Main Priest, I encountered the Human Race and helped them..."
She detailed everything she had done, and after a moment's wait, the purple moon in the painting lit up, and a gentle voice filled the room.
"Pei Ma'er, you did well."
"Did they discover the Location Technique hidden within your Life Magic?"
"Um..." Pei Ma'er shook her head slightly, "They don't understand much about what happens at the Heavenly Dome Rank and have little contact with our clan, so they are unfamiliar with our clan's magic."
"But as soon as they fully display their strength, my Location Technique will be destroyed along with the Life Magic."
"That's okay, it's enough," the gentle voice spoke again, "I am not far from the Masiso Territory, and I will soon be able to track them down using the mark."
"As a reward, you will have a spot at the next Spirit Moon Festival."
"Thank you, Main Priest!" Pei Ma'er showed a surprised expression, then hesitated, "Main Priest... if we are helping the Human Race, why are we secretly using the Location Technique on them?"
"It's not a contradiction, my child," the gentle voice chuckled, "Finding them is to assist them covertly in successfully conquering the SSS-class instance."
"The time of ten thousand years has arrived, and the ancestors have decreed that the Heavenly Dome Rank needs the appearance of a seventh clan."
"We cannot let them follow in the footsteps of the three failed clans from before."
"I see," Pei Ma'er showed a sudden understanding and admiration, "The ancestor is truly great."
