Wufu held a small target mirror and took a careful look at himself within. Upon closer inspection, it was actually quite easy to differentiate, no matter what changes he made, it was never as convenient as disguise techniques in the modern era.
Not to mention anything else, back in those days, face-changing required only cosmetics, then add a pair of colored contact lenses and a pair of glasses, and transforming one’s appearance was incredibly easy.
If one was more particular, a Human Skin Mask made with high technology was the most exquisite choice.
However, the rouge and face powder available now were far from being as diverse and refined as those times. The only advantage was that they were made from natural plant extracts, absolutely natural, unlike the chemicals from a past life, so there was no need to worry about damaging the skin.
So, you can’t have the best of both worlds.
"At first glance, it’s unrecognizable. But Miss, why did you suddenly get made up ?" Liu Jin pointed to her face.
Wufu looked at himself in the mirror and casually said, "Oh, I’m going to catch the Flower-Picking Thief."
"What?" Liu Jin exclaimed in shock.
He really did guess it right; he found it strange that today, when Miss looked at the notice, she seemed like she wanted to claim the reward on the board, and as a result...
"Miss, that, how are you going to catch him? That thief is not a nice person," Liu Jin said anxiously.
"What, you don’t trust your Miss’s abilities?" Wufu glanced at him.
Liu Jin choked, saying, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, but that person is a bad egg after all, and especially cruel, what if..."
He dared not utter that unlucky and inauspicious phrase, but he also did not agree with Wufu’s idea; it was too dangerous, what if something happened?
"No worries. Without a diamond drill, don’t take on porcelain work, since I’m going, naturally I have the skills." Wufu put down the small mirror and said, "It’s just that this disguise, it’s really not easy to manage, all done with rouge and face powder; if it rains, I’ll be exposed."
It wasn’t as good as the Human Skin Mask she saw on Ah Jiu that time. Although she had seen through it, it was only because she had the experience. Ah Jiu’s mask was indeed quite exquisite.
"Miss, if it really won’t do, why not find a way to get a Human Skin Mask?" Liu Jin saw her frown and offered a suggestion.
"Oh, you know about this too?"
Liu Jin scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, "In the past, my mother also told me these Jianghu stories, about people committing crimes using Human Skin Masks and heroes wearing them to carry out great deeds mysteriously."
A spark flashed in Wufu’s mind, "Right! I can also get a mask to wear, it’s mysterious and I don’t have to show my true face."
It was an epiphany for her; she only wanted to disguise herself because she didn’t want people to know what she was doing, wearing a mask was far more convenient than messing with this makeup that took half the day.
Moreover, she wasn’t just doing one-off jobs, but was planning to return to her previous profession—mercenary.
Whoever could afford her price, she would take on the job, she could be hired by anyone. Of course, it also depended on her mood.
If she wanted to take on the job, she would; if she didn’t, she wouldn’t!
"Miss, usually ladies use veils to cover their faces, that’s prettier... you..." Liu Jin made another suggestion.
Wufu gave him a look, "Your Miss looks good in whatever she uses. Veils are too cumbersome, inconvenient for fighting or killing. They could easily get pulled off in an incautious moment. That’s a lousy idea. Even with a mask, I’d still need a base of makeup for double assurance."
Liu Jin laughed awkwardly, suddenly feeling off-topic. Wasn’t he just advising Miss not to take risks? How did he end up making suggestions instead?
Ah, he had been truly led into a pit by Miss.
