Chapter 249

Su Hao didn’t answer; instead, he picked up many hard stones and threw them into the sky.

A bunch of stones soared into the air, and everyone’s gaze followed these stones.

With a thought, Su Hao controlled the movements of the giant guinea pig.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

Only a slight sound of breaking through the air was heard, and then the stones in the sky exploded one after another.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The stones turned into fragments, falling to the ground.

At this moment, Su Hao’s calm voice came, “See, this is the power of the Sawtooth Guinea Pig King. Even S-class summoning beasts may not be its match.”

Sister Bai looked at the scattered stones on the ground with an expression of disbelief. Were these stones shattered by the chubby giant guinea pig just now?

And all of it happened in an instant, making it hard to believe if not witnessed with her own eyes.

Xiaotian also widened her eyes, covering her mouth with her hand.

At this point, Yashan considerately brought a sturdy iron kitchen knife and handed it to Su Hao.

Su Hao took it and flicked his finger, producing a crisp sound of golden iron.

“See this kitchen knife? Made of steel, absolutely genuine.”

Then, he controlled the giant guinea pig to reveal its figure and casually threw the kitchen knife.

“Swoosh!”

The giant guinea pig disappeared from its original position at an eye-untrackable speed, then glided over the airborne kitchen knife and returned.

“Ding!”

The mid-air kitchen knife actually broke into two pieces, making two clear sounds as it fell to the ground.

Su Hao said, “Did you see it clearly this time? No matter what summoning beast it is, in front of my Sawtooth Guinea Pig King, it’s like that kitchen knife—easily torn apart. My Sawtooth Guinea Pig King, as an S-class summoning beast, also has eight skills: ‘Bite’, ‘Ultra-High Speed’, ‘Dynamic Vision’, ‘High-Frequency Vibration’, ‘Invisibility’, ‘Rip’, ‘Aerial Tread,’ um… and there’s one more, ‘Camouflage,’ also known as ‘Show Weakness to the Enemy’ or ‘Feigning Tiger to Devour Wolf,’ whatever you prefer.”

Sister Bai and Xiaotian looked at the cute and silly creature; still, it was hard to believe. Why hadn’t they heard of a summoning beast called ‘Sawtooth Guinea Pig King’ before?

Was it summoned for the first time in history?

Then Su Hao said, “So, as long as my Sawtooth Guinea Pig King is here, we don’t need to be afraid of anything.”

Seeing that Sister Bai was still hesitant, Su Hao added, “I have many more kings waiting to be summoned, don’t worry, Sister Bai!”

After much persuasion, Sister Bai was finally convinced to continue operating the ‘Morning Sun Beauty Salon’ and took on the two million beauty task.

The meeting time was set for the next morning at a random hotel in Yongxin City.

Sister Bai and Xiaotian argued with the leader of the other party for a long time.

It seemed that the other party requested to closely monitor the beauty process to prevent accidents.

However, Sister Bai and Xiaotian absolutely did not allow anyone to observe.

The standoff continued.

Until Sister Bai became impatient, the other party compromised.

After Sister Bai knocked out the person, Su Hao pushed the door open and walked in slowly, giving off a feeling of a villain up to mischief.

When Su Hao saw this customer, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

In the past two years, he had seen many peculiar and wealthy female customers, but he had never seen one so pitiful before.

Half of the face was nearly gone, resembling being slapped by a blind bear, covered with scarred ravines and wrinkles.

One eye seemed on the verge of blindness.

Su Hao remarked, “The difficulty of this beauty treatment is quite high!”

It had already transcended the realm of beauty; it could be considered facial reconstruction.

Sister Bai exclaimed, “I didn’t expect it to be like this. I can’t imagine how this girl has lived all these years. It’s really pitiful. Can it be repaired, Jingzhong?”

Su Hao replied, “It can be repaired.”

Sister Bai asked, “And will it be the same as before?”

Su Hao circled around the woman and said, “This will be a bit troublesome. A single injection won’t be enough. Is there anesthesia?”

Sister Bai turned to Xiaotian, who rummaged through some belongings and took out a syringe of anesthesia, saying, “There are two more!”

Su Hao gestured, “Inject both of them into her!”

Sister Bai and Xiaotian exchanged glances. “Will this be okay?”

Su Hao gave them a reassuring look, “Don’t worry! I have a sense of proportion.”

Xiaotian no longer hesitated and injected both doses of anesthesia into the disfigured woman.

Su Hao opened the woman’s eyelids and observed, then said, “You both go out! Jingyi, guard the door for me. Don’t let anyone in until I open it.”

This woman’s identity was unknown, and she had brought quite a few bodyguards. Su Hao was worried they might barge in halfway.

Yashan immediately said, “Sure, Jingzhong boss!”

After everyone left, Su Hao conjured a sharp little steel knife in his hand and, with a few gestures, began cutting away the scarred part of the woman’s face.

This bloody scene couldn’t be witnessed by others, or the beauty treatment would be difficult to continue.

Su Hao found that this face had undergone multiple surgeries. The inside was far from as smooth as it appeared on the outside.

Over the years, the other party had been searching for ways to restore facial features, but it seemed all attempts had failed. This time, the attempt was probably made with a hopeful heart.

Encountering Su Hao was her luck, and Su Hao happened to be able to solve this problem.

Sometimes reality is cruel; having money doesn’t necessarily get things done, but having money can increase the chances of getting things done.

“This damaged zygomatic arch can’t be fixed; after all, I haven’t researched bone growth runes.”

Su Hao first repaired and smoothed out the damaged zygomatic arch that was pulled out, checked it, and after confirming there was no issue, he ignored the splattering blood on his face and drew a ‘Blood and Flesh Growth’ rune in the palm of his hand.

This was a rune he designed in his previous life based on the principle of the Steel Armor King’s strong regenerative power.

It could expend a portion of life force, rapidly stimulate the growth of blood and flesh, and restore the original appearance.

Originally prepared for himself, before evolving into a 【Bone Demon】, he couldn’t regenerate if he lost a hand or foot.

Unexpectedly, it was first used for making money.

The rune on the palm activated, emitting a soft and radiant white light, continuously shining on the woman’s blood-soaked face.

Ten minutes later, the remaining flesh on the woman’s face began to squirm, becoming faster and gradually covering the entire face.

After half an hour, Su Hao retracted his palm, the white light dissipated, but the flesh on the woman’s face continued to squirm, reconstructing a completely new face.

Su Hao estimated that after stopping the rune, the regenerative effect would continue for another ten minutes. Following the trend, the face should be fully healed after ten minutes.

Another ten minutes passed, and there were no more changes on the face. It had taken on the appearance of a normal face, but the newly grown skin had a hint of dark red, looking quite eerie.

Su Hao activated the ‘Healing’ rune, attaching it to the woman. The woman’s face visibly returned to normal at a rapid pace. In just twenty minutes, there was hardly any noticeable difference.

The preliminary repair was complete.

Su Hao assessed and found that the woman originally had a very delicate appearance. Even without the need for cosmetic procedures, she was a rare beauty.

However, Su Hao was still somewhat dissatisfied. A two-million-dollar job should consider the customer comprehensively and strive for perfection. Just being a ‘rare beauty’ was evidently falling short of their ‘Morning Sun Beauty Salon’s reputation for shaping ‘top-tier beauties.’

So, Su Hao planned to design this woman carefully, aiming to reach the level of a national beauty. Then, he could comfortably pocket the two million.

But the woman’s aura at this moment seemed very weak. The effect of the runes drained her life force and consumed a significant amount of energy within her.

Clearly, in this state, it was impossible to continue modifying her genes. She needed at least two days of recuperation.

Su Hao frowned in contemplation for a while. After tidying up a bit, he simply opened the door, letting Sister Bai and the others in, and said to Yashan, “Jingyi, continue guarding.”

The room filled with blood made Sister Bai and Xiaotian’s hearts pound, and they had a bad premonition: “This is bad, it’s over! Could Jingzhong have messed up the person?”

However, when they saw the woman lying on the bed, they were dumbfounded!

This exceeded their imagination, appearing even more incredible than making someone beautiful.

Xiaotian muttered, “Could Little Zhong have replaced her altogether!”

Someone who had lost half of their face, had some bones shaved off, and fully recovered in just a few hours?

In the span of a few hours in this room, what exactly had happened?

The two stared at Su Hao with mysterious eyes, waiting for his explanation.

Su Hao said, “Currently, we’ve only completed the first step. She’s a bit weak now. Cover her face with a white veil and don’t let her take it off. Serve her with good food and drink. After three days, we’ll proceed with the second step of the beauty treatment. If possible, collect the remaining one million in these two days.”

Sister Bai and Xiaotian were speechless. In Jingzhong’s eyes, this miraculous scene was just the first step?

What kind of S-class summoning beast did the novice summoner Bai Jingzhong possess?

It was truly mysterious!

    Chapter 249

    Su Hao didn't answer immediately.

    Instead, he bent down, picked up several hard stones from the ground, and tossed them high into the air.

    Everyone instinctively looked upward.

    The stones rose rapidly.

    At that very moment, Su Hao gave the Sawtooth Guinea Pig a mental command.

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

    Only faint sounds cutting through the air could be heard.

    The next instant—

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Every stone exploded in midair.

    Fragments rained down across the courtyard.

    Only then did Su Hao calmly say,

    "Did you see that?"

    "That's the strength of the Sawtooth Guinea Pig King."

    "Even many S-rank Summoned Beasts wouldn't necessarily be its match."

    Sister Bai stared blankly at the shattered stones covering the ground.

    Had those stones really been reduced to pieces by that plump guinea pig?

    The attack had been so fast that she hadn't seen anything at all.

    If she hadn't witnessed it herself, she would never have believed it.

    Xiaotian likewise covered her mouth in shock.


    ---

    At that moment, Yashan thoughtfully returned carrying a thick iron kitchen knife.

    He handed it to Su Hao.

    Su Hao flicked the blade lightly with his finger.

    A crisp metallic ring echoed through the courtyard.

    "This is solid steel."

    "No tricks."

    Then he casually tossed the knife into the air.

    Swoosh!

    The Sawtooth Guinea Pig disappeared instantly.

    It flashed past the falling knife—

    Then quietly returned to where it had been standing.

    Clang!

    The kitchen knife split cleanly into two halves before crashing onto the ground.

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Did you see that one more clearly?"

    "It doesn't matter what kind of Summoned Beast it's facing."

    "In front of my Sawtooth Guinea Pig King..."

    "They'll all end up like that knife."

    He continued introducing it seriously.

    "My Sawtooth Guinea Pig King possesses eight skills."

    "Bite."

    "Extreme Speed."

    "Dynamic Vision."

    "High-Frequency Vibration."

    "Invisibility."

    "Rend."

    "Air Walk."

    He paused.

    "Oh..."

    "And one more."

    "Camouflage."

    "You could also call it Feign Weakness..."

    "Or Pretending to Be a Pig to Eat a Tiger."

    "Whatever name you like."

    Sister Bai and Xiaotian looked toward the innocent-looking guinea pig.

    No matter how they looked at it...

    They simply couldn't connect it with the terrifying strength they had just witnessed.

    Neither of them had ever heard of a Summoned Beast called the Sawtooth Guinea Pig King.

    Could it really be a completely new species?


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "So..."

    "As long as it's here..."

    "There's nothing for us to fear."

    Seeing that Sister Bai still looked worried, he added,

    "And besides..."

    "I'll contract many more kings in the future."

    "Don't worry."


    ---

    After much persuasion...

    Sister Bai finally agreed to continue operating the Morning Sun Beauty Salon.

    The twenty-million-yuan commission was accepted.

    The appointment was scheduled for the following morning at a hotel in Yongxin City.

    During the negotiations, the other party repeatedly insisted on observing the entire treatment process.

    Sister Bai refused without hesitation.

    Neither side would compromise.

    Eventually...

    The client yielded.


    ---

    After Sister Bai rendered the client unconscious...

    Su Hao quietly entered the room.

    The moment he saw the woman lying on the bed...

    Even he was startled.

    Over the past two years, he had treated many wealthy women with unusual appearances.

    But he had never encountered someone in such a tragic state.

    Half of her face was gone.

    Countless scars crisscrossed the remaining flesh.

    Deep wrinkles distorted the damaged tissue.

    One eye was nearly blind.

    Su Hao sighed softly.

    "This one's difficult."

    "This isn't cosmetic treatment anymore."

    "It's complete facial reconstruction."

    Sister Bai frowned.

    "I didn't expect it to be this serious."

    "I can't imagine how she's survived all these years."

    "Can you fix it, Little Zhong?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "I can."

    Sister Bai asked,

    "Can you restore it completely?"

    Su Hao slowly circled around the bed.

    "It'll take more than one treatment."

    "Do we have anesthetics?"

    Xiaotian searched through the supplies before producing two syringes.

    "There are two left."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Inject both."

    Sister Bai hesitated.

    "Will that be alright?"

    Su Hao replied calmly,

    "Don't worry."

    "I know exactly what I'm’m doing."

    Xiaotian immediately administered both injections.


    ---

    Afterward, Su Hao said,

    "Everyone leave."

    "Jingyi."

    "Guard the door."

    "No one comes in until I say so."

    Yashan nodded immediately.

    "Understood, Boss Jing."

    Once everyone had left...

    Su Hao formed a slender steel scalpel in his hand.

    Without hesitation...

    He began removing the damaged scar tissue.

    Blood quickly stained the sheets.

    This scene wasn't suitable for anyone else to witness.

    Otherwise...

    The beauty salon's reputation would probably end today.

    As he operated, Su Hao discovered traces of numerous previous surgeries.

    The woman's face had undergone repeated reconstruction attempts.

    Unfortunately...

    None of them had truly succeeded.

    She had probably spent years searching for someone capable of restoring her appearance.

    Meeting Su Hao...

    Was simply her good fortune.

    Sometimes reality was cruel.

    Money couldn't guarantee success.

    It merely increased the probability of finding someone capable.


    ---

    "The damaged cheekbone can't be regenerated."

    "I haven't developed a rune for bone regeneration yet."

    After carefully smoothing and repairing the damaged bone structure...

    Su Hao raised his right hand.

    A familiar rune appeared upon his palm.

    It was the Blood and Flesh Regeneration Rune.

    This rune had originally been developed from the regenerative abilities of the King of Steel.

    Its purpose was simple.

    Consume vitality...

    And rapidly regenerate flesh.

    Originally...

    He had created it for himself before reaching the Bone Demon stage, when losing a limb would still be permanent.

    Unexpectedly...

    Its first practical use became earning money.


    ---

    The rune emitted a soft white glow.

    The light continuously enveloped the woman's face.

    Ten minutes later...

    The remaining flesh began wriggling.

    The movement gradually accelerated.

    Fresh tissue rapidly expanded outward.

    Half an hour later...

    Su Hao withdrew his hand.

    Although the rune had stopped...

    Its effects continued.

    Another ten minutes passed.

    The newly grown flesh finally stabilized.

    An entirely new face had formed.

    Only...

    The fresh skin still carried a faint reddish tint.

    Without delay...

    Su Hao activated a Healing Rune.

    The redness quickly faded.

    Within twenty more minutes...

    Almost no obvious abnormalities remained.

    The reconstruction was complete.


    ---

    After carefully examining his work...

    Su Hao nodded slightly.

    The woman had originally possessed exceptionally delicate features.

    Even without cosmetic enhancement...

    She would already have been considered an outstanding beauty.

    Unfortunately...

    Outstanding wasn't enough.

    This commission was worth twenty million yuan.

    The Morning Sun Beauty Salon had built its reputation on creating unparalleled beauties.

    Returning an ordinary beauty...

    Would damage that reputation.

    Therefore...

    Su Hao intended to redesign her appearance completely.

    His target...

    Was breathtaking beauty.

    Only then would the price truly match the service.

    Unfortunately...

    The woman had become extremely weak.

    Both the Blood and Flesh Regeneration Rune and Healing Rune had consumed enormous amounts of her vitality.

    She needed at least three days to recover.

    Only then could genetic modification safely continue.


    ---

    After thinking for a while...

    Su Hao cleaned the room before opening the door.

    "Jingyi."

    "Keep guarding outside."

    Then he allowed Sister Bai and Xiaotian to enter.

    The moment they stepped inside...

    The blood covering the room made both of them panic.

    Their hearts sank.

    Surely...

    Something had gone wrong.

    But when they looked at the woman lying peacefully on the bed...

    Both froze.

    The scene before them completely exceeded their imagination.

    Xiaotian murmured in disbelief,

    "Little Zhong..."

    "You didn't..."

    "...replace her with someone else, did you?"

    Someone whose face had been half destroyed...

    Now possessed a completely restored face.

    And all of it had happened...

    Within only a few hours.

    Just what had occurred inside this room?

    The two women looked toward Su Hao with expressions filled with astonishment.

    Waiting for an explanation.

    Su Hao simply said,

    "This is only the first stage."

    "She's very weak right now."

    "Cover her face with a veil."

    "Don't let anyone see it."

    "Make sure she eats well and gets plenty of rest."

    "In three days..."

    "We'll perform the second stage."

    "Oh..."

    "If possible..."

    "Collect the remaining ten million before then."

    Sister Bai and Xiaotian were left completely speechless.

    To them...

    What had just happened was already nothing short of a miracle.

    Yet...

    To Su Hao...

    It was merely the first step.

    Just what kind of mysterious S-rank Summoned Beast did Bai Jingzhong possess?

    Neither of them could even begin to imagine it.
