Yu Daohan changed into women's clothing, and Da Hu took out his equipment and began to apply makeup to Yu Daohan.
Su Lai, standing beside them, looked at Yu Daohan in her women's attire and exclaimed, "You really have the look once you put on a skirt."
Yu Daohan shot him a glare. "If you can't speak properly, then get lost."
Su Lai immediately shut his mouth and stealthily signaled Da Hu, who was busy applying makeup to Yu Daohan.
Da Hu looked at Su Lai's signal, utterly bewildered, not understanding what the man was trying to convey.
Seeing Da Hu's confusion, Su Lai grew anxious. "Brother Da Hu, it's so dark, can you see clearly?"
As he spoke, Su Lai signaled again, and Da Hu finally understood what Su Lai meant.
So, this guy wanted to take a sneaky photo.
Da Hu felt a bit speechless but still said, "The light is indeed a bit dim. Brother Su, could you help by holding a flashlight?"
Su Lai, with a smug look of triumph, quickly turned on his flashlight and aimed it at Yu Daohan.
Yu Daohan, seeing Su Lai's mischievous grin, was confused. "Is it dark? I don't feel it."
Su Lai rolled his eyes. "Nonsense, what does your feeling matter? If a professional says it's dark, then it's dark."
Yu Daohan, seeing Su Lai's urgency, became even more perplexed. "Old Su, why are you more anxious than Brother Da Hu? You brat, you're not trying to take a picture, are you?"
Su Lai glared at him irritably. "It's almost nine o'clock. That evil spirit will probably come out soon. If it discovers us, our plan will be ruined, and catching it will become incredibly difficult."
Su Lai's expression was serious, with no hint of joking.
Yu Daohan nodded. It was true; if they didn't hurry, all their efforts would be in vain.
Seeing that Yu Daohan believed him, Su Lai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his acting skills were superb enough to fool this guy. Otherwise, if he found out, he'd probably be on the receiving end of the Kang Long Jian.
Su Lai's finger instinctively tapped into the camera app.
My cross-dressing must not be revealed to anyone, especially Qiang Zi and the others.
Before Yu Daohan could finish his thought, a silence-inducing sound came from Su Lai's phone.
*Click!*
The camera flash on Su Lai's phone emitted a burst of white light.
Yu Daohan: .
Da Hu: .
Su Lai: .
The three fell into silence, and the surroundings became deathly quiet.
After several seconds of silence, Su Lai broke it. "If I told you that was my message ringtone, would you believe me?"
"I believe your grandmother!" Yu Daohan turned to look at the Kang Long Jian on the table, wishing he could grab it and smash this guy to death.
Da Hu raised his hand to cover his forehead, his face etched with exasperation. This guy was too idiotic. Didn't he know to turn off the sound and flash when taking sneaky photos?
He admired him more than anyone else.
Su Lai quickly shouted, begging for mercy. "No, no, no, Master Yu, Master Yu, let's talk this through. Gentlemen use words, not fists."
Da Hu beside them cleared his throat. "It's almost time. Finish the makeup quickly and get ready."
Hearing Da Hu say this, Yu Daohan sat back down in the chair.
Yu Daohan stared at Su Lai. "Old Su, delete it quickly."
Su Lai nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll definitely delete it."
Although Su Lai promised verbally, he had already sent it to Qiang Zi without anyone knowing.
About twenty minutes later, Da Hu had finished the makeup and put on a wig for Yu Daohan.
Su Lai, looking at Yu Daohan after the makeup and wig were applied, admired Da Hu's skill and praised him repeatedly. "Brother Da Hu, I didn't expect your special skill to be this good. To be honest, I'm almost tempted."
"After all, I've practiced specifically for this," Da Hu said with a smile. While he might not be as good as the professionals, he was confident in his makeup skills.
Yu Daohan took out his phone and glanced at it. He had to admit that Da Hu's skill was indeed impressive. Looking at himself now, he felt he was radiating charm.
But honestly, he did have the potential for cross-dressing.
Su Lai spoke up. "This is that popular thing now, what's it called, Cos something?"
Yu Daohan shot him a glare. "It's called cosplay, how old-fashioned."
After the makeup was done, the three began to prepare.
At precisely eleven o'clock at night.
Yu Daohan sat alone on a chair, with two lit red candles on the table.
Da Hu and Su Lai hid in a small room nearby, observing Yu Daohan's every move through a crack.
A gust of eerie wind blew, making both Da Hu and Su Lai tense up, holding their breath.
"It's here!" Su Lai whispered quietly.
Yu Daohan, with his back to the door, also felt the eerie wind blowing in, followed by a wave of cold.
Yu Daohan couldn't help but shiver, his heart tightening. He reached out to grab the Kang Long Jian, only to realize he had hidden it away.
He had never encountered such potent ghostly energy before, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Woman, turn around," the evil spirit spoke.
Yu Daohan slowly turned around, afraid of revealing any flaws to the evil spirit.
As Yu Daohan turned, he finally got a clear look at the evil spirit's appearance: a pale face, long flowing hair, and dressed in ancient red attire, it didn't look like a ghost at all.
The evil spirit stared at Yu Daohan's appearance, stunned. After a moment, it spoke, "Woman, you should understand your mission. Why are you not wearing red?"
