The barber, Master He, curled his lips, picked up the scissors helplessly, and muttered: "Since you said so, you will regret it later."
Once you enter this door, it is no longer up to you.
Our store is not responsible for any consequences!
Click.
With the subtle sound of the scissors' sharp blades rubbing and squeezing, the flaming hair gently slid down.
Although Herbert had issued a disclaimer in advance, he was not an idiot who would rush into it without any preparation.
Herbert, the second son of the Duke, did not know how to cut hair, but the poor guy who had been struggling alone in the world in his previous life was very familiar with scissors.
My skills aren't that great, but they're good enough to give haircuts to myself and my friends.
Scissors were flying behind Valentina as she nibbled the last chicken leg.
After the last lesson, she has learned her lesson and does not eat everything in one breath, but enjoys the process silently.
Not long after, when Valentina was about to put the clean bone into her mouth and crush it, she was patted on the shoulder.
"I won't share this with you!" She turned back vigilantly, then bit the bone into pieces and swallowed it.
Crunch, crunch, gulp.
Herbert：
"Who would snatch this from you?"
He sighed tiredly and waved his hand, saying, "Turn around, I'll help you fix the front too."
"oh."
Looking at the overly obedient Miss Dragon, Herbert couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. For a moment, he couldn't resist the impulse in his heart and put his hand on her head and rubbed it.
"Um?"
Valentina raised her head and looked at the boy in confusion, her eyes expressing her bewilderment and... threat.
What are you doing
At this critical moment of life and death, Herbert seemed to have entered a special state.
At this moment, he understood clearly what he should do and what he absolutely should not do!
His expression remained unchanged, he continued to rub it, and said seriously: "...Don't talk, I'm thinking about how to cut it."
Valentina instinctively felt something was strange and looked closely into his eyes, but in the end she found nothing wrong and could only say "oh".
"Oh... huh?"
Boom boom boom.
The two were so close that Valentina could clearly hear the strong and rapid heartbeat in the boy's chest.
"I say, why is your heart beating so fast?" Valentina squinted her eyes and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
The flaw was exposed and it seemed that everything was over.
But Herbert was very calm, even a little angrily, and replied: "I'm afraid that if I cut it wrong, you'll be angry with me... Okay, don't move, it's almost over."
Click, click.
With two final, crisp strokes of the scissors, Herbert completed his artistic creation.
He stood up and took a few steps back, squinted his eyes to observe, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Yeah, not bad, my craftsmanship is really good!"
"Just as I thought, you are very suitable for this feeling."
Valentina looked at Herbert's weird smile and felt a little scared for a moment. She asked quickly, "Hey! Don't just smile there, say something! What do I look like now?"
"Don't worry, I'll show you right away."
Herbert took out the prepared mirror, placed it in front of Miss Dragon, and said proudly: "Clang clang-"
Valentina originally wanted to snatch the mirror away, but the moment she saw the person in the mirror, her expression froze.
"ah… "
At this moment, Valentina was completely different from her previous homeless look, no longer looking messy and unkempt.
Her medium-length red hair was draped behind her, with a few strands of hair falling in front of her forehead, making her look wild yet gentle.
This kind of beauty, who is bright and heroic, will definitely attract a lot of attention when she walks on the street.
It is hard to say whether men will be beheaded, but it is estimated that there is a high probability that women will be beheaded.
If you take a video and post it on the Internet, you will probably see those little sisters vying to call you sister or mother.
"This is... me?"
Valentina shook her head from side to side in confusion and murmured in disbelief, "Is this really me?"
It's not like she hasn't seen herself in human form before. She doesn't hate it, but she definitely doesn't like it as much as she does in dragon form.
She had always believed that she preferred the majestic and powerful appearance of a dragon.
But now, looking at herself in the mirror, her faith suddenly wavered.
"Of course it's you, and this is what you really look like."
First, there is no makeup, and second, there are no special effects. How can it not be her original appearance
Herbert handed the mirror to her and said with a smile: "This mirror is for you as a thank you gift for your cooperation. You can look in the mirror every day and appreciate your beauty."
“Ah… Yeah.”
Valentina took it in a daze, her eyes following herself in the mirror, and she was motionless for a while.
Herbert took this opportunity to collect all the hair.
"Okay, we got the materials!"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Herbert did not let down his guard at this time, and walked towards Valentina with a wet towel.
"Okay, enjoy it later. Let me wipe the hair off your face first."
You have to act the whole way and not be exposed at the end.
Valentina blinked, and after a moment of silence, she came to her senses and subconsciously refused: "No, I can do it myself..."
Wouldn't it be better to just burn the hair or something like that
Why would it be necessary to go through so much trouble
Valentina wanted to hide, but Herbert would never let her go. He directly held out a towel that had been wrung out of water in front of her.
"Okay, just forget it and close your eyes."
"You... Ugh!"
The slightly cool towel was pressed unceremoniously on her face, and then rubbed up and down in circles.
↑→↓←
The technique was not gentle, and could even be described as a bit rough, but Miss Dragon did not dodge, and was even particularly cooperative and obedient.
→→↓←→↓
Because this was her first time receiving care from others.
She closed her eyes and whispered a name silently in her heart.
"Herbert..."
.
.
After cutting Valentina's hair, Herbert did not enter the next area, but left the prison directly with the hair.
Rather than continuing to win other people's favor, he had to deal with these more troublesome materials first, or at least wash them - after all, these were going to go into his mouth.
This time, in order to avoid some embarrassing scenes, Herbert did not go directly to the kitchen to wash, but chose to fetch water from the most remote well in the monastery.
However, before Herbert got close enough, he smelled a familiar scent and his expression suddenly changed.
"Fuck..."
"Why did I bump into you again!?"
His face was solemn as he looked at the grass carp beside the well. Only one sentence kept echoing in his mind:
"Brother, you are really good at this craft..."
Chapter 22 Blasphemy
"I want to escape~ but I can't~"
"Ah! Why is this trench thing still catching up with me..."
To be honest, Herbert is a little speechless now.
He deliberately ran to this remote corner to fetch water, just because he didn't want to see that scene in the kitchen again.
My friend, could you please pay a little attention
I am a kind-hearted person and I cannot bear to see the poor grass carp being bullied like that.
Besides... it's okay to see the scene after it ends. At most I'll be speechless for a while.
If I ran into him on the spot, wouldn't it be embarrassing for everyone
"Ah, the lower man! Ah, the swordsman..."
Herbert took one last look at the grass carp's dead eyes, walked silently to the other side, threw the bucket into the well and started drawing water.
"Don't look at me. I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything..."
Although he had seen this happen twice, Herbert still had no intention of telling anyone about it.
First of all, it is still about understanding other people’s preferences and respecting every special hobby.
After all, there are all kinds of love in this world.
Even giant mushrooms are controlled by people, even armed helicopters are addicted to them, even plastic bags have people...
It’s just a grass carp!
After all, it is a living thing.
Not bad at all.
His condition is much milder than that of others.
Secondly... Herbert himself is not clean either.
Don’t blame the second brother, we are all the same.
Not to mention his identity as the evil god's contractor, just what he was going to do next was already very wrong.
From other people's perspective, what Herbert did was probably not much nobler than what Brother Caoyu did.
Wash the woman's hair, then hide in the room and enjoy it...
Is this what a good person should do
This scene, just thinking about it, is already very wrong.
In order to avoid getting into trouble, Herbert decided to mind his own business and pretend that he had discovered nothing.
It has nothing to do with me.
After fetching water, he walked away quickly without trying to find any clues from the grass carp and completely ignored the existence of the grass carp.
He was not curious at all about Brother Caoyu's identity.
Not at all!
