Chapter 21

Shang Ke knew that, although they let him journey with them, they did not completely trust him. They asked him many questions on the way regarding the attack's specifics. Shang Ke randomly weaved a story together and dismissed it, since they didn't have a way of investigating it anyway.

When night fell, Gwyn and his students made camp near a water source and began to start a fire and cook. Shang Ke and Pupu sat nearby, silently watching.

At this time, Youri walked over and handed Shang Ke a set of clothes, smiling as he told him, "Your body is stained with blood, so you can go wash up by the river and change into these clean clothes." He then looked to Pupu, a bit awkward as he continued, "We don't have any children's clothes, so I'm afraid we can only let her wear some adult's clothes for now."

"Thank you." Shang Ke took the clothes Youri gave him and led Pupu to the river.

He first placed the new clothes on a clean stone, before taking off his black robes. Long black hair was scattered like a waterfall over his shoulders, and hung to his ankles.

Pupu followed his model, and also took off the worn out clothes on her body.

Shang Ke looked down at Pupu, who was only wearing a small undercloth.

Pupu also raised her head to look at Shang Ke and his long, drifting hair.

The two faced each other for a while, and then Shang Ke asked, "Are you afraid of the cold?"

Pupu's little head shook from left to right.

"Then come here." Shang Ke lifted his hair and casually made a braid, laying it loosely over his chest. He then crouched by the riverbank and gestured towards her, soaking his black robes and starting to carefully wipe her face and body.

In the first world, Ravel had also taken care of him like this, so he had naturally became familiar with it after seeing it so much.

Pupu looked up, her half lidded eyes sneaking glances at Shang Ke.

When Shang Ke saw, he suddenly made a face at her.

Pupu stared blankly before starting to giggle, her hair shaking from her laughter. Her tinkling laughter was like the sound of an oriole, causing the quiet forest to become more spirited.

Hearing the laugher, the group of people who were quietly discussing Shang Ke all turned their heads to the river bank.

The small river looked like a golden ribbon under the sunset, with beautiful flickering reflections of light. A long-haired man was half crouching, lightly pulling on a small girl's hand. His hair blocked their view of his face, but his bare neck and upper body were already enough for everyone to have a very high evaluation of his appearance.

At this moment, the little girl reached out and carefully helped Shang Ke raise his falling hair.

Shang Ke raised his head, revealing an exceptionally handsome face. His face held almost no blemishes, as if he had been sculpted by an artist. His pair of pitch black eyes resembled the clear, gleaming little river under the dusky light, glimmering with a soft and gentle light.

A single thought emerged in everyone's mind: It was no wonder he was caught by the slave traders, his appearance was simply drawing attention from criminals!

Shang Ke's attractiveness was greatly improved after experiencing two different worlds. With the addition of the Perfect Expression Package's amplification, his beauty was even further heightened.

After they finished washing up, Shang Ke helped Pupu put on a white robe. The robe was very big, and its hem almost dragged on the ground. He had no choice but to let her hold it in her hand, and he would later ask one of the others for a pair of scissors or a dagger so he could cut a bit off.
