In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 68. Ma Xiaotao after losing her memory actually...

Xu Ying's identity was very useful; she was practically Xu Jiujiu's sidekick. In the entire Xingluo City, apart from the imperial palace, there was almost nowhere she couldn't go.

Sure enough, after making a plan, Aying went straight to the tavern that Xuanzi frequented. As soon as she entered, the female receptionist waved in her direction.

"Ah Ying, it's been a long time."

Aying was taken aback when she heard this. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a burly woman in a white robe standing at the front desk wiping wine glasses.

Aying strode forward and, mimicking the tone Xu Ying remembered, said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this Miaomiao? What's wrong? You're not going to be the princess's bodyguard anymore? You're working as a receptionist in this little tavern. Your taste is terrible."

The woman in white wasn't angry. She picked up the wine bottle, poured a full glass of plum wine, and pushed the glass towards A-Ying. "What's so good about being a guard? The world is too turbulent. I've never even had a boyfriend, and I don't want to go to my grave with regrets. Here, take this, it's on me, no money needed."

Aying picked up her glass and drank it all in one gulp. She hated sour things the most, but she had to drink it for the sake of her public image.

"With your looks, you want to find a boyfriend? Which male soul master doesn't like the demure and gentle type?" A-Ying carefully examined the white-robed woman in front of her. She wasn't particularly muscular, but her height was a bit unapproachable, almost reaching seven feet (2.1 meters).

"Looks are given to you by your parents, there's nothing you can do about it," the woman in white said nonchalantly. "Everyone has their own taste, there will always be someone who likes my type. Would you... like something to eat?"

"Forget it, I have a mission to carry out later. I'm just passing by this tavern to grab a drink." Aying glanced at Xuanzi, who was pretending to sleep on the table, then tossed her long hair behind her, did Xu Ying's signature move, and then walked out of the tavern with light steps.

After leaving the tavern, A-Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Xuan-Zi's appearance, she wouldn't be returning to the Starlight Hotel anytime soon, so she could take this opportunity to complete her plan.

Just do it!

Aying first went back to Xu Ying's house, hung Xu Ying's body on the roof beam, and made an ignition device. About an hour later, the flames would completely engulf the mansion, at which point... all clues would be destroyed by the fire.

After doing all this, Aying arrived at the Starlight Hotel and quietly sneaked up to the top floor.

Arriving at Ma Xiaotao's room, Aying placed the pre-prepared universal room card on the card reader. With a "beep," the door opened, and she rushed into the room, delivering a karate chop to the back of Ma Xiaotao's neck.

Aying quickly took off all of Ma Xiaotao's clothes and made a human skin mask according to Ma Xiaotao's figure, measurements, and appearance. After making the disguise, she put Ma Xiaotao's clothes, storage tools, and jewelry on her.

Disguise is also a skill. Every mole on her body must be reproduced. Don't be fooled by her usual aloofness. She has a cold exterior but a warm interior. She has a good relationship with the other female students in the inner courtyard. They often bathe together. Some details cannot be ignored. This is related to whether she can control the Sea God Pavilion as Ma Xiaotao!

After searching for Ma Xiaotao's soul and obtaining her memories, A Ying snapped her neck. Just as she was about to devour Ma Xiaotao's soul, Ma Xiaotao's body and soul instantly transformed into a ripple of energy and vanished from the world.

Aying didn't take this to heart. She snapped Ma Xiaotao's neck and even ripped her heart out. Soul searching is extremely damaging to the soul. In five minutes at most, Ma Xiaotao's soul will completely dissipate, and her identity will not be exposed.

After quickly fixing her makeup, Aying left the room and knocked on the door of Ling Luochen's room...

She needs to adapt to Ma Xiaotao's identity, way of speaking, lifestyle, and so on as soon as possible.

……

Meanwhile, in a camp outside Xingluo City.

Completely naked, Ma Xiaotao set a fire and, taking advantage of the chaos, knocked out a female Soul Master. She then took off the woman's clothes and put them on herself. Ouch... the size was a bit too small, and it was a little uncomfortable, but it was better than being naked.

This time, the substitute doll played its role. Out of protection for its owner, when A-Ying searched the soul, all memories related to the substitute doll were automatically erased.

However, due to the aftereffects of the soul search, Ma Xiaotao lost all her memories and even forgot who she was. To prevent her owner from being hunted down again, the substitute doll changed Ma Xiaotao's appearance and aura, and even her martial soul was shattered. It is unknown when she will be able to recover.

Driven by instinct, Ma Xiaotao took advantage of the commotion outside the city to sneak into Xingluo City and headed straight for the Starlight Hotel.

Tonight is destined to be extraordinary. Fires are raging in the camps outside the city and in Xu Ying's residence inside, keeping the Star Luo government busy for quite some time.

Soon, Ma Xiaotao entered the Starlight Hotel. Looking at the staircase in front of her, she felt a sudden pang of fear, as if... she shouldn't have come here.

"Young lady, what are you doing here? Are you looking for someone?"

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao seemed hesitant, the newly appointed receptionist, out of professional courtesy, quickly walked up to her and inquired about the situation.

"Looking for someone?" Ma Xiaotao asked, puzzled. Having lost her memory, she didn't know how to answer.

The receptionist then realized what was happening and looked at Ma Xiaotao with a serious expression, saying, "Miss, you wouldn't... have amnesia, would you?"

"Amnesia?" Ma Xiaotao's confusion deepened. She didn't know who she was, where she came from, or what she was supposed to do.

They encountered a girl with amnesia. Helpless, the receptionist had to take out a communication jade slip and report the situation to her superiors. As soon as she finished reporting, she looked up and saw that... Ma Xiaotao had left the Starlight Hotel at some point.

As Ma Xiaotao strolled through the streets of Xingluo City, she felt a wave of loneliness wash over her.

Who...is she?

She didn't know how much time had passed when a man or woman dressed in a black robe blocked her way.

"Come with me, I can help you regain your memories."

The voice of the man in black was androgynous, yet exceptionally pleasant to the ear, which stirred something within Ma Xiaotao.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

Ma Xiaotao nodded. Having lost her memory, she had no doubts and followed the man in black out of Xingluo City.

And all of this... was seen by Qin Yi.

"The drama of the real and fake Ma Xiaotao, haha, is really interesting."
