The Countess sought out Li Yao early in the morning and said, "We've made contact with the other party, and if there's no mistake, they'll arrive here in the next couple of days. We can use this time to transform you, striving to make even the most powerful individuals unable to detect anything unusual about you."
"Having gained such great benefits, naturally I'll do as you say, or else I'd feel guilty," Li Yao joked. "I'm putting myself in your hands, to be twisted and turned as you wish, just don't break me in the process."
The Countess was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled lightly, "You, you really are interesting, daring to joke with me like this. It's only now that you can, if it were back when I was a high priest, you'd be locked in the cathedral's dungeon for penance just for joking like that."
