I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 493: Chapter 296: Face-Changing Beauty Fist (Part 3)

What, what’s going on here?

Without a word, the old beggar suddenly threw a punch, landing squarely on the shopkeeper’s wife’s face, then used his left hand to quickly tap several acupuncture points on her body, silently applying inner strength.

The shopkeeper’s wife let out a scream, unable to withstand the force, and fell to the ground in distress.

Kindness is not always rewarded!

After leaving the shopkeeper’s wife bruised and battered, the old beggar and the young beggar quietly took their bowls and departed.

Upon hearing the commotion outside, the restaurant’s owner quickly ran out to check on the situation, only to find his wife lying on the ground, clutching her face with the look of someone who had just been beaten up.

"What’s wrong, what happened to you?" The owner ran over in panic to help his wife up.

But when the shopkeeper’s wife raised her head to spill her grievances, what caught her husband’s eye was a face of exquisite beauty—one elegant, fair, and smooth.

Who is this beauty? Why is she wearing my wife’s clothes?

"Husband, being kind wasn’t rewarded. I kindly sent those beggars some wontons, but after eating, they beat me. Please check if my face is ruined."

"Wife, are you really my wife?!" The wonton shop owner was utterly shocked.

"Enough of the jokes, we’ve slept in the same bed for years, could you possibly not recognize me? Oh no, have I been disfigured by that old beggar?"

"Wife, stop talking, you’ve really met an Immortal." The wonton shop owner grinned from ear to ear, hurriedly helped his wife to kneel down, and then started to kneel in all directions to express his gratitude to that Immortal.

The shopkeeper’s wife was bewildered, but under her husband’s strong urging, she had no choice but to comply.

In the martial world, there is a widely known martial art, not considered top-tier, yet even more famous than the best.

Named "Face-Changing Beauty Fist," it was a creation of the alchemist Huang Wen, one of the four great figures in the Central Plains, capable of instantly transforming an ordinary-looking, average-figured woman into a beautiful and graceful figure.

Thus, it has been a supreme pursuit of noble ladies, high-ranking madams, and heroic female knights in the Central Plains, who yearn to be beaten up just once.

As the only person in the world who can perform this beauty technique, Huang Wen is pursued by women worldwide, not out of love, but in hopes of receiving a set of Face-Changing Beauty Fist from him.

Huang Wen is known as one of the four great figures for good reason; he is reclusive, only interested in studying various pill formulas. The pursuit from so many women troubled him greatly, leading him to develop a pill that could change one’s appearance.

The effects of this pill are far superior to any disguise technique and are not accidentally compromised by external factors. Using this method, Huang Wen vanished from the martial world, never to be seen again.

...

Wang Mazi returned to his old residence, which had become utterly dilapidated after the last fight with Qin Yuesheng, to the point of being unable to shield from sun or rain, essentially a rundown shack.

Fortunately, Wang Mazi wasn’t picky; he only needed a place to sleep. As he crossed the doorstep, he began to tidy up the clutter inside.

"Where have you been these past two days?"

A sudden chill wind swept through, causing Wang Mazi’s spine to tingle. He quickly turned around and saw a man in a black cloak, silently standing a short distance behind him, his hooded face watching him with a pair of unmoving, blood-red eyes.

Wang Mazi felt a jolt in his heart; how long had his master been here?

"Ma-Master."

"Answer my question. Where have you been these past two days, and why has your house turned into this state? Who attacked you?" the black-cloaked man asked.

Wang Mazi initially wanted to mention Qin Yuesheng but recalled the unbearable pain and freezing cold of the Life and Death Ice Seal, forcing him to say, "Master, I recently ran into an old enemy. He somehow found my residence and attacked me fiercely, demolishing my home. But thankfully, after joining the Celestial Evil Sect, my strength surpassed before, allowing me to chase and kill him outside Chengshan City."

"How about those Evil Heart Bodhisattva statues I asked you to handle?"

"I fooled others into requesting thirty of them. Unexpectedly, around noon, the remaining ones suddenly turned to dust. I was utterly dumbfounded," Wang Mazi added.

These words were improvised to conceal that Qin Yuesheng had destroyed all the Evil Heart Bodhisattva statues. Coincidentally, it matched the situation that Qin Yuesheng had actually caused, leading the black-cloaked man to nod, "You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore. Come with me."

Wang Mazi was startled; had his lie been exposed?

He quickly asked, "Master, where are we going?"

"To meet the Left Guard Envoy of the sect."

...

Wang Mazi never expected that the Celestial Evil Sect members had secretly excavated a massive underground space beneath Chengshan City. He followed the black-cloaked man into a tower, descending stairs to reach the underground.

This place served as the Celestial Evil Sect’s temporary sanctuary within Chengshan City.

"Master, why suddenly take me to meet the Left Guard Envoy?" Wang Mazi followed the black-cloaked man, asking in fear.
