Chapter 21 - Beauty pills of Daode Tianzun (1/2)

Proofread by Zhu Yuan

I began to count the days. Every day, I watched the sunrise and sunset and waited for Bai Xiaoshan to come back. Emperor of Donghua went to the Ziwei Garden in the North Pole and I didn’t know what he was doing there with Pak Tai. I hadn’t seen him since I returned to Qinghua Garden that day. Fairy Pine said that they were close friends, and they often studied Taoism together. Emperor of Donghua hadn’t been to Ziwei Garden for a long time. Therefore, they must have something important to do.

In the absence of Emperor of Donghua, I could enjoy the Clear Spring Pool exclusively. This was the only thing that I enjoyed. However, when Bai Qingqing retaliated against me, Emperor of Donghua could not rescue me in time, which disappointed me. Fortunately, Bai Qingqing and I were able to mend fences through the mediation of Fairy Qianbi.

I became bored in Qinghua Garden. Together with Bai Qingqing and Fairy Qianbi, I went to Daode Tianzun’s Palace, and planned to help him delouse the ox. I was going to flatter him by praising his unusual hobbies, and see what happened to Spring after staying in the oven for one day.

“Bai, are you here to feed the fire again?” Daode Tianzun rode on the ox and saw me from a distance.

I smiled, went straight over to pat on the head of the ox and said: “I’m here to delouse the ox!”

He stroked his beard and smiled, but apparently he didn’t believe what I said.

I looked around and asked: “Hey, where’s Spring?”

He looked towards the door and said: “He has smelled you! He would be too stupid if he still stayed here!”

I twitched my mouth. He was really a weak pheasant!

“By the way, Bai, last time I told you that I had a beauty pill for you. I nearly forgot it. Come on, I’ll give it to you right now!” He took out a small gourd from his pocket, poured out a multicolored pill and handed it to me. He looked at me expectantly with his eyes glittering like a child.

Daode Tianzun, why did you dislike my appearance?

Bai Qingqing gloated: “My sister, you must take it right now! The beauty pill is not prepared for everyone! Alas, if I weren’t born beautiful, I would certainly ask one from Daode Tianzun!”

I was depressed. Bai Qingqing would take advantage of me every time she caught the chance!

Fairy Qianbi reached out her hand and waved, and several large characters appeared in the air: “Li, you should take it!”

They all looked at me expectantly, so I forced myself to swallow that pill without any hesitation.

After taking it, I covered my face with my hands, and then saw a bunch of colourful light emitting through my fingers. I closed my eyes and felt depressed. It was likely that I would become a monster!

After a while, Daode Tianzun gestured for me to take off my hands. I refused to do so at first, but Bai Qingqing pulled apart my hands forcefully.

I looked at Daode Tianzun. He smiled joyfully and said: “Bai, that is what you supposed to look like! Now, you are more pleasing to the eye. How could you come back with such a face after the reincarnation? You’re so lucky that I have the beauty pill! “

I was once again discriminated by him! Although I was not an impressive beauty, I was still pretty. Why did he have prejudice on me?

I touched my face and didn’t feel any difference. Then I turned to look at Bai Qingqing, only to find her staring at me in great astonishment!

I leaned forward, smiled and said: “Hey, am I so beautiful that you’re shocked by me?”

Bai Qingqing calmed down immediately and pooh-poohed me when she saw my proud face. She said uneasily: “Since Emperor of Donghua, the most handsome guy in the world didn’t shock me, you can only surprise me in your next life!”

I snorted at her. She must be shocked by my beauty! In order to verify my guess, I took out a small mirror from my pocket. However, I was frightened by the fuzzy face of the fox in the mirror. It turned out that I accidentally took out the “monster-revealing mirror” made by my father. I took a deep breath and found another one. Looking at it carefully, I froze for a moment. Was this me? The effect of this beauty pill was too exaggerated!

The face in the mirror was only a little similar to my original one. It was a completely strange face to me, so to speak. If I used to be a pretty girl, then I became an exceedingly gorgeous beauty, even more beautiful than Bai Qingqing. I was more gentle and lovely, but the charm was faint. This face was like a pure and glamorous white peony, which was clear and bright. However, looking at this face, I fell into a trance. As if I had seen it a long time ago, I hated it from the bottom of my heart.

I stared at the mirror for a long time, and Daode Tianzun asked me: “Bai, are you satisfied?”

I pursed my lips and didn’t reply to him.

“What’s up?” Fairy Qianbi conjured up a few words in the air, and there was a hint of doubt on her expressionless face.
