"What?!" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to react. Huang Xiaotao might have thought wrongly. A woman's mind was really hard to guess.
Lin Yi wanted to explain immediately. However, even through the veil, he could feel Huang Xiaotao's shyness, inferiority, and happiness at the same time. He couldn't help but hesitate.
No matter how beautiful Huang Xiaotao was in the past, after she was disfigured, perhaps no man would have any thoughts about her. Since he suddenly treated her so well, it wasn't strange for her to misunderstand that he was interested in her. However, if he directly told the truth, would it hurt her heart?
Although he didn't have much contact with Huang Xiaotao, and he didn't have any thoughts about her at the moment, for this pitiful but strong and kind girl, any man would probably feel pity and never have the heart to hurt her.
Even if he was misunderstood, Lin Yi still couldn't bear to break Huang Xiaotao's beautiful thoughts at the moment. If he said it out, she might pretend not to care, but she would definitely be sad and embarrassed in her heart.
She had already been disfigured by that scumbag Su Zhaohe. Lin Yi didn't want her to feel inferior again. Huang Xiaotao might not care about this, but if she was hurt because of him, or even opened up the scar, what difference was there between him and that scumbag Su Zhaohe?
"Actually …" Lin Yi thought about it and said in a very tactful way, "I still have a few close female confidantes …"
"Well, I heard … you have a good relationship with Laner …" Huang Xiaotao still lowered her head and said in a low voice, "So … I can't compare with her. When I see her … I feel inferior …"
"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned again. He didn't expect Huang Xiaotao to pay so much attention to him. She should have known that he was Wu Fu Ling Yi not long ago, but she already knew this.
However, listening to Huang Xiaotao's tone. She didn't seem to care about whether he had a close female confidante or not.
However, Heaven-Stage Island had always maintained its ancient customs. Polygamy and the like had always been very common. As a native, it seemed quite normal that Huang Xiaotao didn't resist it.
What made Lin Yi helpless was that the other party's answer was obviously irrelevant. She didn't seem to understand the main point of this matter at all. Instead, she changed the topic to Shangguan Laner. Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh again. A woman's mind was really hard to guess …
"Forget it, let me see your face," Lin Yi said.
Although he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he could still see that Huang Xiaotao's appearance was the biggest knot in her heart. If he didn't help her solve it, she would still feel inferior in the end. Especially when she saw a beauty like Shangguan Laner, it would touch her fragile nerves and remind her of herself, who was once equally beautiful.
But if it recovers. Then, Huang Xiaotao would naturally regain her confidence. At that time, she would once again be the center of attention, and wouldn't care whether Lin Yi liked her or not.
"Don't … Don't look …" Huang Xiaotao was shocked. She covered her veil and subconsciously took a step back. She didn't have the domineering and resolute attitude of the trial team leader when she was at Mount Tian Wu. Instead, she became more and more bashful.
"Don't be afraid, I'll just look." Lin Yi comforted her.
"No … Don't …" Huang Xiaotao shook her head repeatedly. She didn't want anyone to see her ugly appearance, let alone a man like Lin Yi who left a good impression on her. She didn't want her image to appear in Lin Yi's heart. Even the slightest flaw was something all women had in common.
However, Lin Yi didn't give her a chance to refuse. He took a step forward while she was unprepared and pulled off her veil. Then, he saw the horrifying scar that covered almost half of her face like a centipede and smiled.
Seeing Lin Yi smile, Huang Xiaotao was instantly filled with sorrow. Her eyes turned red, and she started crying.
"You … You really laughed at me … I knew it … After you saw my appearance … you wouldn't like me anymore … I really thought too highly of myself …" Huang Xiaotao sobbed sorrowfully.
Hearing this, Lin Yi was even more stunned and smiled bitterly. He thought to himself that Huang Xiaotao was really too fragile and sensitive when it came to this matter. No matter what happened, she would unconsciously think in the direction of inferiority. This had already become a knot in her heart.
"You're really thinking too much. I won't laugh at you, I definitely won't." Lin Yi promised with a straight face. He then paused and said, "Wait for me for a moment."
"Really?" Huang Xiaotao blinked her tear-stained eyes. She covered her face tightly with her hands, not letting Lin Yi see it. It was a pity that the centipede-like scar was useless no matter how hard she tried to cover it.
Lin Yi nodded affirmatively. He rummaged through the space in the jade pendant and finally found a bottle of special edition injury medicine. This was a premium edition injury medicine that House Yu had gotten from the common world's auction. Wu Chentian had packed it all up and stuffed it into Lin Yi's Sky Class Island.
He thought that he wouldn't need it anymore, but he didn't think that it would actually come in handy. This medicine had miraculous effects on old wounds. Most importantly, it could remove scars.
Of course, with Lin Yi's strength, he could actually recover Huang Xiaotao's appearance with the Art of Dragon Mastery alone even without this medicine. However, that would require her to be disfigured again in order to recover.
That was because this was an old injury that she had suffered many years ago, and it had long since recovered. It was just an ugly and horrifying scar that was left behind. If she directly healed it like this, it would be impossible to heal the injury.
If she were to forcefully disfigure her face again in order to recover her appearance, it would be very painful. Huang Xiaotao might not mind doing it herself, but since there was a better way, Lin Yi naturally didn't want her to suffer this pain.
"It's fine. It'll be fine soon." Lin Yi said as he personally applied the medicine on Huang Xiaotao's face. The feeling of skin to skin contact made Huang Xiaotao shocked, shocked, and embarrassed. She immediately froze and didn't dare to move.
Feeling Lin Yi's warm breath so close to her and looking at Lin Yi's focused expression, Huang Xiaotao knew that he didn't have any other intentions, but her heart still couldn't help but beat wildly. Her mind went wild again, and she couldn't help but fantasize how great it would be if time could stop at this moment.
