Just now, the Snake Lady had been facing away from me, and it was only now, as she was bound, that I could clearly see her true face.
In my confusion, I staggered back half a step, touching my own hideous face.
A flicker of pain crossed Little Dumpling's eyes, "Mom, I forgot to tell you, this woman has a face... exactly like your old one."
What a good Dumpling he was; even when faced with a woman with a face identical to mine as it had been, he never recognized her despite all the threats.
Yet with my frightening and nauseatingly ugly face, he could still rush over to hug me at first sight.
"Not just the face, even the voice… the voice is exactly like mine," I said, my throat dry, my heart unspeakably desolate.
What girl doesn't love beauty, and after becoming ugly, I can't tell you how upset I was deep down.
I didn't show it too obviously, washing my face with tears every day.
It was me always suppressing this feeling, but now my inner fragility surged forth, shattering the shell around my heart that was thinner than an eggshell.
My heart ached, "Who exactly are you? Why do you look exactly like me??"
This face no longer belonged to me!!
I had lost my looks and become so hideous
The Snake Lady identical to me had permanently taken my face.
"Wanwan." Yu Longting immediately set down Little Dumpling, cradling me to his side, his palm soothing as if caressing a little kitten, repeatedly stroking my hair, fiercely glaring at the Snake Lady, "Are you deaf? My woman is asking you a question, don't you know how to answer?"
"You…" overwhelmed by his icy oppression, the Snake Lady's face turned pale, then she used that face identical to mine to smile coquettishly, "Snake Lord, so you deliberately let the snake infect me with your Demonic Qi to collect it and track me down, to capture me."
"What did you think? I spent five years studying how to counter Demonic Qi—it's just your bad luck to have ended up in my hands," Yu Longting spoke to the Snake Lady, his tone cold and reckless.
His gentle gaze, however, was fixed on me, his fingers lightly caressing my high cheekbones, as if trying to imprint my features in his eyes. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n0velfire.net
My eyes narrowed slightly, Yu Longting said he had spent five years studying Demonic Qi… what exactly did that mean...
Was he trapped in that cheongsam, not pondering how to escape, but thinking about how to counter Demonic Qi?
Or… had he spent five years countering Demonic Qi before he was trapped?
Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by a mesmerizing charm.
The Snake Lady smiled coquettishly, her glances oozing with countless seductive charms, her alluring eyes captivating, "I just heard that my face and your woman's old one are identical. Your woman has contracted Blood-weeping Syndrome, and she'll remain for life.
You surely didn't fall for her because of that ugly face, Snake Lord, since you like it, why not let me be with you, I have already served you so well~"
"Think you can bewitch me with that face?"
Yu Longting sketched a wicked smile.
Little Dumpling held his little head high, his little face wrinkled, extremely nervous, "Dad."
The little guy was plainly worrying over nothing.
Yu Longting would never want that woman; that smile was just a façade.
It typically meant… he could kill someone in the midst of laughter without blinking an eye…
No sooner had I thought this than from Yu Longting's sleeve flew the three-foot green peak.
In just a breath or two.
That… the Snake Lady's face was pierced by the Sword Qi… covered in sword wounds…
I was startled and quickly grabbed his arm, "What are you doing? Even if she's unforgivable, and you want to kill or mutilate her, you shouldn't ruin her face. I'm a woman, I know best how painful disfigurement can be…"
