"Y-you're serious?"
After Rosalyne came back to her senses, she still could not believe her ears. Although her lover Rostam had long since died, what woman did not love beauty? The reason her mind had grown increasingly twisted was partly because her appearance had been destroyed.
Su Han smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Yes, Rosalyne. Although I don't know most techniques, Stellar Transposition is one I truly can use."
After receiving his confirmation again, Rosalyne felt as if she had struck incredible luck. Her appearance had been ruined for a full five hundred years. Every time she washed and groomed herself, she did not dare look into a mirror. Could she really be healed today?
Rosalyne's voice trembled as she asked, "Can Stellar Transposition really heal my face?"
"I'm not completely sure, but I can at least try. I'll also need your cooperation. For example, how exactly your face was destroyed. Otherwise, even if it's restored, there might still be a risk of it being damaged again."
Hearing this, Rosalyne's heart tightened. She hesitated over whether she should tell Su Han the truth. The two of them looked at each other calmly. After a long while, the witch finally let go and smiled, then began explaining her condition.
"My face was burned by the power of Hellfire. It's a liquid flame, dangerous and extremely powerful. If not for this white artifact I carry, I probably would have died long ago. As for the risk you're worried about, I don't think it will be a problem. The power of this artifact is quite strong."
"Alright, then let's try. If it fails, I'll think of other methods."
At this moment, Su Han realized something. He had almost forgotten that Rosalyne used an Ice-element Delusion to suppress her body. Back then, the reason she had been disfigured was because she could not suppress the Hellfire within her. Now that she had the Delusion, as long as she did not push herself too hard, there should not be any major danger.
Rosalyne asked, "Where will the treatment take place?"
"Well, how about your place? As long as it's quiet enough, that's fine."
Su Han thought about it and felt that his own place was not suitable. There were too many people upstairs at his comic shop right now, Hu Tao, Paimon, Lumine, Shenhe, and Jean. Going there would instantly turn it into a battle royal ground.
Rosalyne nodded and said, "No problem. My place will definitely be quiet."
The two of them stood up and headed toward the Goth Grand Hotel. When they arrived at the entrance, the nearby Fatui stood there in a daze. Even the elite members could not believe their eyes.
Su Han looked at the five-star hotel of the Teyvat world and clicked his tongue in amazement. "So this is where you live? It's pretty luxurious."
Rosalyne smiled when she heard this and said, "Do you like it? If you do, I can give you a deluxe suite."
The two chatted and laughed as they quickly disappeared through the doors.
Only then did the nearby Fatui snap out of it. They exchanged glances, all finding it hard to believe. Their Harbinger, who had always detested men, was actually chatting and laughing with one today.
This was super big gossip!!!
"I say, I wasn't dreaming just now, right? The Harbinger actually brought a man back."
"I thought I saw it wrong too, but it really was the Harbinger. That Delusion can't lie."
"Unbelievable. The Harbinger actually talks this intimately with a man."
"Shh, stop talking. Be careful or the Harbinger's Hellfire will burn you all to death. Think about the people who angered her before. The grass on their graves is already as tall as a person."
As soon as this was said, the Fatui all calmed down. They were curious, but compared to death, it was better to behave themselves. After all, this witch did not have a good temper.
After entering the hotel, Su Han was immediately attracted by the interior decor. It was a classic Western medieval style, filled everywhere with a sense of art. Even a single chandelier was extremely valuable.
"My room is on the second floor. Please follow me. The lobby downstairs is too noisy."
"No problem."
Su Han came back to his senses and followed Rosalyne upstairs. After a short while, they arrived in front of a room.
Click.
As the door opened, a refreshing and elegant fragrance drifted out.
After entering, Su Han discovered that the witch's bedroom was very tidy. It was a classic European princess style. The floor was covered with pure white carpet. Aside from the lack of a full-length mirror, it basically had everything a noble residence would have.
Rosalyne closed the door and asked, "What should I do next?"
"Find a place to sit down, or lie on the bed. The treatment will take time, and facial treatment might take a bit longer."
Hearing Su Han's answer, Rosalyne said without hesitation, "Then the bed. It'll be more convenient."
She then removed her shawl and gently let her hair fall loose. When her fingers touched the mask, the witch paused for a moment. Finally, she let out a soft sigh and slowly removed it.
Looking at that burned face, Su Han finally understood why her personality had become twisted. Losing her lover, friends, and everything she cared about was already painful enough. On top of that, even her most cherished appearance had been destroyed. If it were anyone else, they would probably have become even more unhinged.
Thinking of this, Su Han could not help feeling a bit of pity. His gaze softened. When the witch lying on the bed noticed the change in his eyes, the magic power gathering within her body finally began to dissipate.
Su Han did not know that he had just walked past the gates of death. Although the two had gotten along well over the past few days, a heart twisted for so long was not something that could easily be changed. When Rosalyne removed her mask, she had been thinking about one thing.
If Su Han showed even the slightest hint of disgust after seeing her face, she would absolutely make him regret it.
In the end, Rosalyne realized she had overthought it. There was no disgust in his eyes. Instead, there was only sympathy.
"Before I heal you, it may be painful for a while. Your face has already been destroyed, so I need to remove the necrotic flesh first, then regenerate new flesh for you. Is that alright?"
"Yes. This is a small matter. Don't worry about it."
She had endured Hellfire burning her body. Removing some flesh was nothing to Rosalyne.
Even so, Su Han was extremely careful. He took out the surgical tools he had recently purchased and began disinfecting them. Only then did he start removing the dead skin. The process was somewhat bloody, yet Rosalyne showed no expression at all. Instead, her gaze remained fixed on Su Han's eyes.
He was clearly treating someone unrelated to him, yet he felt sorrow for her. What an interesting person.
It took a full twenty minutes before Su Han finished cleaning Rosalyne's face. Thanks to her Delusion, there was no heavy bleeding. After that came the slow restoration.
Su Han circulated his power and pressed his hand against her face. As threads of white light descended, Rosalyne suddenly discovered that her right face, which had long lost all sensation, could actually feel a hint of pain and itchiness.
"Don't move. The treatment isn't finished yet. The flesh has just recovered, but the nerves haven't. You don't want to become someone who can't smile, do you?"
Listening to Su Han's commanding tone, Rosalyne could not help rolling her eyes. This guy was really getting carried away. Still, considering how hard he was working, she decided to forgive him this time.
