Chapter 33 Half-Beast.

"Thank you, but I'm really fine, you don't have to worry." Grace's voice came again, still with obvious depression and restraint, obviously not listening to her words.

Lu Xia didn't intend to persuade him any further. She didn't believe that this person could live in the bathroom forever, so she simply said, "Okay, as long as you're okay."

After saying that, she didn't say whether she would stay or leave. She turned around and sat down beside the bed.

But his eyes were looking towards the bathroom, so that he could see Grace as soon as she came out.

Grace listened for a while and didn't hear any other sound. She thought Lu Xia had left, which made her originally tense nerves relax. Her body lost strength and she fell to the ground, gasping in pain.

At this moment, he looked neither human nor ghost. Half of his body was covered with thick black scales, which made him look extremely weird.

Grace struggled to get up and looked at herself in the mirror.

Not only was half of his face covered with sharp scales, he even had horns. Half of his eye was left with only a black pupil, with no white at all.

He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand and touch it to confirm whether all this was true, but when he raised his hand, he found that his right hand had been replaced by sharp claws.

If a female saw him like this, she would definitely be scared.

Even if Lu Xia didn't originally have any feelings of disgust or disdain towards him, she would probably feel that way after seeing him like this.

too ugly!
He is so ugly. How can he be worthy of standing next to Lu Xia when he is so ugly?

Thinking of this, Grace raised her hand to pick at the scales on her face, trying to pick off those ugly scales, as if this would restore her former appearance.

But those scales were not only hard but also sharp. Instead of being picked off, they cut his fingers and made them bleed!
Realizing that the scales could not be removed in this way, Grace looked down at her hands that had turned into claws, and then grabbed the scales on her chest without any hesitation.

With a swish, the scale attached to the chest was torn off, and blood spilled all over the ground in an instant. But the miraculous thing was that the torn wound was repaired at an extremely fast speed. Soon, the place was healed again and a new scale grew.

The sound coming from the bathroom caught Lu Xia's attention and made her frown. Just when she was about to go up and ask Grace what she was doing in there, the terminal on her wrist vibrated.

It’s a video invitation from Prince Li Mang.

Lu Xia glanced toward the bathroom, turned, and left the room. He then connected to the video call. Soon, Prince Li Mang, wearing a wig, appeared on the other end of the video. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood and even took the initiative to greet him: "Duke Lu Xia, good day."

"Good day, Your Excellency." Lu Xia smiled back at the camera.

"Are you busy? I want to talk to you about something. Is it convenient?"

"It's convenient, you say." Lu Xia said and walked to the window.

"Look, didn't I tell you before that a friend of mine is having hair loss problems? After using the hair growth serum you sent me, her scalp has been itchy and dandruff-prone these past few days. However, you can still faintly see the roots of her hair. She asked me to tell her if this is normal."

Lu Xia was not surprised by Prince Li Mang's inquiry. She calculated the time and the other party was almost achieving the desired effect.

"It's normal. Some mild itching is caused by the hair growth liquid activating the scalp. Dandruff is caused by the scalp speeding up metabolism.
This condition will disappear after the hair grows back to normal, and the hair growth liquid can be used as a daily care liquid in the future." Lu Xia's answer was direct and clear, immediately dispelling Prince Li Mang's worries and making her feel at ease.

She had been in a good mood the past few days since she saw her hair roots growing back, and now, hearing Lu Xia's confident answer, she was completely relieved. "That's good. My friend has also been troubled by hair loss for years, and this has suddenly shown some results. I wonder how happy she is."

"As long as I can help her." Since His Excellency the Prince didn't want to admit that he was the so-called friend, Lu Xia would not bother to expose the truth. "If you have any questions or suggestions while using the hair growth liquid, you can ask. I can answer and make changes at any time."

"My friend said he's very satisfied with both the scent and the packaging. The key is that this product is really good. You don't know, and before this, I didn't know... well, my friend has tried countless similar products, and the results were all unsatisfactory. They're all scams. Duke Lu Xia, you're so capable, you'll definitely be rich in the future."

"Then I'll take advantage of your good wishes and thank you, Your Excellency, for helping me promote my products."

"This is as it should be. Your products are well made. Even if I don't promote them, there will be a lot of people buying them. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Go ahead and get busy."

"Okay, you can contact me anytime if you have anything. Goodbye." After chatting with Prince Li Mang, Lu Xia immediately returned to her room and headed straight for the bathroom. This time, she didn't wait outside the door, but knocked directly, "Grace, come out!"

She was wrong. She shouldn't give freedom to someone like Grace who had an escapist personality.

Seeing no response, Lu Xia spoke again: "Grace, don't force me to use the obedience contract!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound was finally heard from inside, and the next second the sound of the door opening was heard, and then Lu Xia saw drops of blood dripping.

With a frown, Lu Xia raised his hand to open the door. What he saw was bloodstains and scales scattered on the ground. Lu Xia raised his eyes and looked at the man whose half body was covered with black scales.

Grace stood in front of her, the half of her face that was not covered by scales was bloodless and pale to the point of being almost transparent.

Lu Xia had not expected Grace to be like this. She had not expected that his condition would progress so quickly!

But she was not frightened by Grace's strange appearance. Instead, she felt there was a strange beauty in it.

Her gaze was an invisible judgment to Grace. He stood there firmly, as if waiting for a result.

He couldn't change back to his previous appearance and could only face people with this ugly appearance. He could not care about other people's opinions, but he couldn't help but care about Lu Xia's thoughts.

If he saw disgust in her eyes, he would die immediately.

However, Lu Xia kept looking at him, showing neither disgust nor disdain. Instead, her eyes looked amazed.

Lu Xia, who had been looking at Grace, naturally felt the man's uneasy gaze, which was pleading, humility, fear and contradiction.

It seemed that as long as she said some words of disgust, the man would run away.

This made her heart soften for a moment. She stepped forward and reached out to touch the scales on his face: "This is considered half-beast transformation...hiss!"

Without noticing, the sharp scales cut her finger, causing her to frown in pain, but she didn't wait for her to retract her finger.

The man gently grasped her wrist, and then took her injured finger into his mouth...
