Chapter 507: Fu Miaoxue
It was a very young and beautiful face.
Bright eyes, white teeth, a fair complexion, black hair, a small nose, and a sharp chin. However… it was a doll.
Du Lai’s chest heaved violently. He had painstakingly hidden the truth, only for her benefit, not wanting her to be treated as a monster by others!
Bai Youwei was merely disabled in both legs and had to endure so many strange looks. If she appeared before the world, what would be the consequences?!
He rushed up to cover her again with a cloth! But she pushed him away once more!
“You’ve already seen, what’s the point of covering!” She flicked her soaked hair irritably and turned to look at Bai Youwei and Shen Mo.
However, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo’s faces only revealed slight surprise before quickly returning to calm. It was as if her being a doll was nothing shocking.
“Why aren’t you surprised?” asked the woman in black.
With an impassive expression Bai Youwei replied: “We were surprised.”
The woman in black: “…”
They were clearly not surprised at all!
Seeing that it was impossible to salvage the situation, Du Lai had to resort to damage control and explained to Shen Mo and Bai Youwei: “Miaoxue turned into this in the game. I used a prop to save her, but for some reason, her body is still in a doll state. I hope you can keep this secret for us! I trust you understand just how much trouble this would cause if others saw her!”
The woman in black immediately retorted: “So what if others saw! How troublesome can it be? If you find me troublesome, why did you bother saving me in the first place? You should have left me to die!”
“Fu Miaoxue!” Du Lai couldn’t take it anymore, “Can we discuss this after we exit the game?!”
But her attitude was even more unreasonable, “Du Lai! Don’t think that just because you saved me, you have the right to dictate my life! I’ll live as I please! Either go with my plan, or we break up!”
Du Lai was too angry to speak, gritting his teeth as he glared at her.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo exchanged glances. They had complicated feelings about these two.
Although they were evidently lovers, their relationship seemed more like enemies, not necessarily filled with hatred but certainly antagonistic.
Especially Fu Miaoxue, who seemed to be venting her anger on Du Lai all the time, and Du Lai simply putting up with it! It was truly baffling!
Shen Mo intervened to break up the standoff—
“Du Lai, the prop you mentioned, is it an item that can resurrect the dead?”
Bai Youwei was stunned, looking at Shen Mo.
She hadn’t thought about that.
Du Lai also paused before his eyes dimmed and he said slowly: “…So you two know too.”
Fu Miaoxue continued coolly: “Don’t get your hopes up. You may finally get the item after going through great difficulty just to find out that your resurrected loved ones don’t want to live in such a state. Look at me now, doesn’t it seem like a joke? Is it worth it?”
She said this, glancing at Du Lai. Her casual tone conveyed her scorn: “Are you an idiot, thinking it’s worth it?”
Du Lai didn’t say a word, his face becoming gloomy.
Shen Mo and Bai Youwei remained silent as well.
They were considering if such an item was used on Lun Ang and Yu Yaqing…
Transforming a person into a talking and walking doll, would this truly be a salvation or simply a new form of torment?
Bai Youwei wasn’t sure what Yan Qingwen would think when he learned about this, but she believed that Yu Yaqing’s pride would never allow him to become a toy. Because it would symbolize failure, a most miserable one!
Unconsciously, they had already left the forest.
Outside the dense forest was a hillside. At the bottom of the hill were some houses, like a small village with few scattered lights twinkling through the dim drizzle.
Fu Miaoxue stood on the hillside, speaking slowly: “Didn’t you want to know what the play ‘Woman’s Destiny’ is all about? I’ll tell you now~”
