AST 2328 Ugly Woman? A Person Shouldn’t Be This Devious! (2/2)
Yuchi Ding led Qing Shui into the building. There was a pleasant and faint, refreshing scent of bamboo in the air. The vastness of the building could only be seen when they entered; it looked different from its exterior.
The flooring looked similar to high-quality wooden materials from his previous life, and the walls were like wallpaper. The room was decorated with antique-looking items; there was a wooden table, several stools, and they all looked exquisite.
There was an alluring woman in the room. Qing Shui noticed her slender legs first, followed by her round butt, and her thin waist. However, he noticed her face soon. It was a terrifying face…
Scars haphazardly littered her face, from her cheeks, chin, to the area behind her ears, making her look exceptionally sinister. These scars avoided both of her eyes, making it apparent that this was deliberately inflicted by another.
Just by her figure, no one would expect her to be ugly. However, there wouldn’t be many who would have the courage to look up for an elongated period of time.
“Sit!” The woman spoke up.
Her voice was pleasant to the ears. It was a tad raspy but still nice. She had a mild temper. Qing Shui could understand that it was difficult enough for women like her to remain undistorted in the psychological sense.
“Thanks!” Qing Shui’s facial expression didn’t shift from seeing her face. He didn’t show any contempt, discrimination, or surprise. This, on the contrary, shocked the woman. This was a first.
Her face was sliced by a unique weapon, mixed with equally unique venom which penetrated through the skin. Even miracle pills wouldn’t help with the removal of scars. Otherwise, with the mystical elements of this world, she would be able to remove them at her level.
She had tried to counter the toxin as well, but seeing as it was used in conjunction with a unique weapon, it was an almost impossible feat to figure out what toxin it was.
Hence, she had given up on healing it.
“Mister Qing, you’re one who engaged in major happenings. While the Divine Rain Sect isn’t a top-tier clan, we still have quite a number of members. With these numbers, it was inevitable to have scoundrels in its midst. Even though he received his deserving punishment, I wonder if Mister Qing still isn’t willing to let it go?” The woman spoke gently.
“Your words are too severe, my Lady. I was just visiting. I hope the Divine Rain Sect will cease placing the Chi Clan in a difficult position in the future.”
“No one would dare do so with you around, what are you worried about?”
“I couldn’t possibly stay at the Chi Clan forever. It’s easy to dodge an open attack than prevent a sly move. There are some who love these scheming games like getting others to do their dirty work. Even if they could be annihilated, their deaths would have no meaning if tragedy strikes again.”
“I understand now. If you are willing to trust me, I can help you to look after the Chi Clan. I can still do that in the Lower Three Regions,” replied the woman.
“I can rest assured after hearing your words. How should I thank you for your help?” Qing Shui wondered seriously.
“There’s no need. There’s nothing I need and I don’t like accepting gifts from others.” The woman responded calmly.
“Your body has been poisoned. Why don’t I find a way to repel the poison as gratitude?” Qing Shui suggested.
“Thank you for your good intentions, but I’m used to this. There’s no need for that.” The woman shook her head, not revealing any signs of being persuaded.
Qing Shui didn’t expect the woman to be this calm. He expected her to be a lot more agitated by his offer. However, after some thought, he understood. While he was confident, she didn’t mirror the same confidence in him. Even so, he didn’t dare to guarantee that he could help before diagnosing either. Since the woman rejected him, he didn’t insist on it either. Although he would be able to identify the toxin with the use of Heavenly Vision Technique, he didn’t. One shouldn’t be this devious…
