Yun Yang's gaze was deep as he listened to Ji Lingxi patiently. He did not show any abnormal reaction throughout the entire process, suppressing everything in his heart.
Yue Rulan was far more sensitive than Ji Lingxi. She clearly saw two cold glints flashing across Yun Yang's eyes, filled with murderous intent.
At that moment, Yue Rulan felt a chill run through her as she shuddered involuntarily.
Yue Rulan, who was born in a prestigious family, knew that it was a murderous intent that was deep and reserved to the extreme!
It was obvious.
Yun Yang did not say anything on the surface, but the shock he felt from this incident was definitely not as nonchalant as he appeared to be.
He had obviously made the most extreme decision that left no room for negotiation!
"I was still thinking of … Forget it. From now on, the two of you will only be Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan. The Yun Family is your home! " Yun Yang smiled and said, "I'd like to see who it is that actually dares to …"
He chuckled, almost unable to suppress the surge of murderous intent in him.
Ji Lingxi felt warmth in her heart, instinctively feeling that her lover was angry because she had been kidnapped, forced to marry, hunted, and bullied. She smiled brightly and said, "Then it's settled. We'll stay here from now on and live in seclusion. They won't be able to find us anymore."
Yun Yang patted Ji Lingxi's head with a smile and said, "Lingxi, you must listen to Sister Lan in the future. Don't be mischievous. I'll go out to buy some medicinal herbs first. I need to nourish your bodies. You've suffered quite a loss after all this running around. "
As he spoke, he stood up, smiled gently and elegantly, and walked out.
Ji Lingxi was completely dumbfounded.
Yue Rulan's eyes were glued to the spot on Ji Lingxi's head where Yun Yang had patted. She was equally dumbfounded and speechless.
The two girls did not even notice when Yun Yang had left.
What … what was going on?
Ji Lingxi touched her head, her big, pretty eyes filled with bewilderment once more.
A moment later, the four eyes of the two girls met, seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes.
What was going on?
What was going on?
Patting his head, he told himself, 'Good boy, you have to listen to Sister Lan from now on …'
This … this tone …
Am I a three-year-old?
"Puchi …"
Yue Rulan finally snapped out of her trance and burst out laughing, "Hahahaha …"
Ji Lingxi rubbed her head, exasperated. She cursed under her breath, "This blockhead, he's not thinking straight again! Does he know what he's saying? Did he lose his mind? That must be it! "
"Hahaha …" Yue Rulan had not laughed so heartily for a long time. She slapped the bed with one hand. "Lingxi … is this really your sweetheart? Hahaha … Are you sure he's your sweetheart? Aren't they your elders? "
"I don't know if he's my elder, but I'm sure he sees you as one. Congratulations, Sister Lan, for becoming that blockhead's elder!" Ji Lingxi's face contorted as she stared at Ji Lingxi speechlessly.
Yue Rulan was taken aback when she heard that, then she was stunned. Yun Yang's actions just now had been to pamper Ji Lingxi like a child, but to her … he was really respectful like he was to an elder!
Am I really that old? ' I'm only slightly older than Lingxi, alright?!
Yue Rulan was no longer as joyful as she was before. Worries flooded her heart.
Appearance, age, youth, any one of these, no matter when or where, would be the mortal enemy of women!
…
That afternoon.
Yun Yang found the medicinal herbs he needed and began to make his move.
He decocted the medicine.
Then, he found some green things from who knew where. They were filled with life and spiritual energy, as well as a sweet fragrance. When one smelled it, they felt relaxed and happy.
"Wipe your face with this before you drink the medicine. Not only can it refresh your mind," said Yun Yang, "It can also beautify your face."
He then proceeded to decoct the medicine.
Beautify it.
Even Yue Rulan, who had given up hope of finding Ji Lingfeng, could not resist the temptation, what more Ji Lingxi, who had put on makeup for the man she liked?
"Hmph! Why would this Miss need this thing!? "
Ji Lingxi pouted. "This idiot hasn't seen my real face yet. I'll wash my face later and remove my disguise. Let's see if I can charm him to death! "
Yue Rulan chuckled. "Since you don't care for it, give it all to me. Sister Lan is old and frail now. I'm being treated like an elder, I need this to add to my beauty!"
Ji Lingxi quivered and quickly came over to divide the green stuff equally, afraid that Yue Rulan would take all of it.
Yue Rulan pursed her lips and teased, "If Young Master Yun were to see you like this, he might pat your head again and say, 'Girl, grow up quickly. Don't make me worry too much …'"
Ji Lingxi was enraged. "If he dares to do this again, I'll … I'll …"
I've done it a few times but I didn't say anything.
She was worried, thinking, 'This blockhead has been so insensitive all this while. He doesn't understand a woman's thoughts at all. If he really says it out loud … it'll be so embarrassing!'
She washed her face with clean water and removed her disguise. She then smeared the green liquid on her and Yue Rulan's faces bit by bit, enduring the wrinkled feeling with her eyes closed for half a quarter of an hour.
Yun Yang had said that the medicine had to be applied on the face for at least half a quarter of an hour before it would take effect. It was best to close one's eyes during the process and nurse the eyelids as well.
Both girls were very obedient.
Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan trusted Yun Yang from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, they carried out his instructions without the slightest hesitation.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Ji Lingxi opened her eyes to see Yue Rulan looking at her, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.
"Sister Lan, why are you looking at me like this … Ah! Your face! "Ji Lingxi suddenly exclaimed.
This was because Yue Rulan's face that was displayed before him was a withered yellow. It was the exact color of her face.
It was even to the extent that her eyes, which were originally clear like water, became obscure and dull.
Her hands, neck, ears … Anyways, all the colors of her clothes that she could see had turned into this color. Her beauty that was supposed to be peerless was now only average, and below average.
Only the outline of her face remained the same.
However, no one would believe that the person in front of them was the peerless Yue Rulan!
She was like a completely different person!
"Ah!"
While Ji Lingxi was shocked by the change in Yue Rulan's appearance, a sudden thought struck her. With a loud cry, she sprinted to the mirror and looked at it with the slightest hope.
The next moment!
Ji Lingxi felt her limbs go cold.
The color of her face was the same hue as Yue Rulan's.
It was as if she was born this way; there was no sign of modification.
In a moment of desperation, Ji Lingxi rubbed her face forcefully and washed it with water, but it was futile.
The withered color lingered on her pretty face, as if she was born with it.
"Ahhhh …"
Ji Lingxi felt waves of emotions rolling in her heart, her entire being slackened.
How was she supposed to charm Yun Yang when she looked like this?
How was she supposed to talk about her true face?
"Yun Yang, I'm going to kill you!"
Ji Lingxi bared her fangs and claws, wanting to cry. "This bastard, what medicine did he give me to disfigure me …"
She recalled being forced into marriage, being hunted down and having her face targeted along the way, but she had struggled and fought with all her might …
Time and time again, she had narrowly escaped death, narrowly escaping death.
Now, she had thought that all her sufferings were over.
She and Sister Yue were safe!
It was at this moment of relief that her most cherished face had been destroyed by Yun Yang!
Perhaps this was not considered a disfigurement and there was still room for redemption, but judging by the stubbornness of the color on her face, it would not be gone in a short period of time.
To Ji Lingxi, this was like a bolt from the blue.
Yun Yang walked in with the medicine, his expression still filled with adoration as he said gently, "Young lady, why are you making such a fuss? Lingxi, you have to change this habit from now on. Otherwise, how are you going to find a husband in the future? "
Ji Lingxi was stunned.
Yue Rulan was stunned as well.
Why are you speaking in such a fatherly tone? What's going on?
Was it really alright?
Yun Yang placed the medicine on the table and explained with a smile, "The ointment on your faces is a spiritual medicine that I've gone through a lot of trouble to find. Although your peerless looks have been concealed, it's the same as covering your original looks completely. Besides, the duration of this spiritual medicine is not long. It can only last for three years at most."
Three years!
Only?
How many years would a daughter's face be at its brightest in her life? You've erased three years of it in one go?
Both girls' faces fell as they stared at a certain someone with a hopeless gaze, wishing they could pounce on him and tear him apart!
"What's with that expression? Let me tell you, this ointment is the legendary … Nine Deaths Beauty Balm."
Yun Yang smiled and said, "Rumor has it that there was a man who, in order to fulfill his wife's wish to preserve her beauty, traveled the world in search of spiritual medicine, constantly adjusting the formula. For this spiritual medicine, he went through nine life-and-death situations before he finally managed to concoct the medicinal ointment and brought it back."
Yun Yang sighed and said, "But the world is unpredictable … He spent too much time searching for the spiritual medicine and adjusting the formula. When he came back, his wife who had been waiting at home for a long time had long lost her beauty. Her temples were covered in white, and she had become an old woman with wrinkled skin and white hair. No matter how magical the balm was, it couldn't bring back her beauty. He sighed helplessly."
