Chapter 197 - Her Face Is Completely Disfigured (1/2)

“Where are we going?” Feng Tianlan fell into Si Mobai’s arms. He hid her under his cloak so that her face wouldn’t be pierced by the wind blowing by.

He was the one who’d kissed her by force, yet he’d carefully cushioned her back with his hand. Now he was protecting her with his cloak and not letting the cold wind blow on her. Why was he so careful with her?

Si Mobai didn’t say anything. He just brought Feng Tianlan to Tu Xiupei’s courtyard. They landed on an Osmanthus tree next to the window, where they could see the room clearly.

“What are we doing here?” Feng Tianlan watched what went on in the room. Tu Xiupei seemed to have just finished taking a bath. She was dressed in sheer undergarments and sitting in front of a bronze mirror. She stroked her face narcissistically.

Si Mobai placed Feng Tianlan sitting on a tree branch. He wrapped her in his cloak. “Just watch the show.”

Feng Tianlan frowned, wanting to get a little farther away from him, but he dominantly clasped her in his arms. She had no choice but to curl up then look into the room to see what Tu Xiupei was doing.

After Tu Xiupei finished taking a bath, she felt an intense itch on her face. She felt as if bugs were crawling under her skin and biting her nerves. She couldn’t help raising her hand to scratch her face. The slight pain helped eased the discomfort from the itch.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she wanted to use some beautifying pills for her skincare, but when she raised her head and saw herself, she suddenly screamed in horror.

“My face! My face is…” Tu Xiupei’s face was pale as a ghost. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she thought she saw a demon.

What a horrifying face it was. Thousands of tiny blood streaks covered it like webs. Black blood seeped out from the streaks, making her look like a demon.

Tu Xiupei gaped at her own face in horror. She lifted a trembling finger to touch the blood streaks.

Ouch!
