"Dia Wu." Ling Chen suppressed the terrifying thoughts in his heart as he slowly stretched out his hand towards Xuanyuan Dia Wu's face and pulled up her cloak, "After so many years, my Dia Wu has grown up. Can you let me take a good look at Dia Wu after she's grown up?"
"No!" Ling Chen's hand was once again grabbed by Xuanyuan Dia Wu. Her actions were hurried and panicked, and she lowered her head as she said sorrowfully, "Don't look, it's very ugly … even uglier than a demon …"
Ling Chen could almost hear Xuanyuan Dia Wu's heart shattering in front of her lover.
At that moment, Ling Chen finally understood why Xuanyuan Dia Wu had been avoiding him this entire time. He lowered his head and asked in the softest voice he could muster, "Dia Wu, your face … what's wrong?"
Xuanyuan Dia Wu tightly held onto Ling Chen's hand and did not raise her head. She was unable to face the fact that Ling Chen had seen her face. She bit her lips and closed her eyes as she softly said, "13 years ago, after finding out that you had died, I became completely disheartened. I swore that I would live and die with you, so I decided to starve and die with you …"
"However, I was my father's only daughter, and my mother passed away early on. My father raised me, but I didn't show my filial piety to my father. If I died so selfishly, it would have been too cruel to my father. As such, Xuanyuan Dia Wu died and left with my big brother Tian Ya, and I used another identity to continue living … after that, the only reason I lived was to repay my father for raising me and the Xuanyuan family for raising me. I desperately trained with the sword, spending all of my time training with the sword … perhaps it was because my heart was completely dead and I didn't have any distracting thoughts, but my sword intent quickly improved. By the time I was 14 years old, no one in the Xuanyuan family's younger generation was a match for me. "
"When I was 15 years old, because of my rapid growth in strength and the fact that no one in the younger generation could defeat me, my family decided to make me the young master of the Long family, Long Tian Yun's bodyguard. No matter in the real world or the game world, I had to follow him at all times." Speaking to there, Xuanyuan Dia Wu paused for a moment before continuing, but her voice slightly trembled, "Being in the Xuanyuan Dynasty allowed me to understand Long Tian Yun's personality. He's even more lewd than most men, and he's played with countless women before he's even 20 years old. If I stayed by his side for too long, I was afraid that … so … so … I used my sword … to cut my face … tens of times …"
"Say no more!!" Ling Chen uncontrollably roared as he used all of his strength to hug Xuanyuan Dia Wu. The heart-wrenching pain caused him to suffocate, and he wanted to immediately burst into tears. When Xuanyuan Dia Wu had said that she had been chosen to be Long Tian Yun's bodyguard, he had felt a terrifying premonition. In his memories, Dia Wu was as beautiful as jade, and no one doubted that she would become incredibly beautiful when she grew up. How could Long Tian Yun not desire her when she was by his side … when the cruel truth came from her mouth, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his heart was filled with pain.
She had cut her face … tens of times … an exquisite girl's face had been cut tens of times by tens of swords, tens of scars, tens of scars, and tens of wounds. Her face was incredibly ugly. All she wanted was to protect her purity … to protect the 'dead' Tian Yun's purity, and not allow anyone else to touch her at all.
To almost all women in the world, the most important thing was their appearance. If a woman's appearance was ruined, her entire life would be ruined. No normal woman would not care about their appearance … Xuanyuan Dia Wu had wanted to reunite with Ling Chen, but because her appearance had been ruined, she no longer had the courage to appear in front of him. This was because she felt that she was no longer worthy of being by his side, and staying by his side would only become a 'stain' on his reputation … at the same time, no woman was willing to let the person they loved see their ugly side. They would rather not see her than let him keep her beautiful appearance in his heart.
Immediately, Ling Chen realised that his reaction had been too intense. He was afraid that such an intense reaction would agitate Xuanyuan Dia Wu, so he hurriedly suppressed his emotions and pulled her over by her shoulders as he looked at her and said, "It's fine, it's fine. All of this is in the past. As long as my Dia Wu can return to my side, everything else is fine. No matter what my Dia Wu looks like, she will always be the most beautiful girl in my heart, and that will never change. "
Xuanyuan Dia Wu did not say anything, and she tightly gripped Ling Chen's hand. She understood Ling Chen's heart, and she trusted that his feelings for her were also pure. However, would he really not care about her face, which was even more terrifying than a demon's? Would the people by his side not care? Would she not care at all?
It was impossible … it was simply impossible.
No matter how strong one's emotions were, no matter how deep one's bonds were, when faced with an ugly face, one's inner conflict and fear would arise involuntarily. This had nothing to do with one's emotions, but rather, it was an instinct that all living beings had.
People could control their emotions, but they would never be able to control their instincts.
The beautiful Xuanyuan Dia Wu and the ruined Xuanyuan Dia Wu would never be the same.
"Dia Wu, can I look at you?" A gentle smile appeared on Ling Chen's face. There was no nervousness or rejection in his smile, only heartache and comfort, "Trust me, no matter what Dia Wu's face looks like, I will love it for the rest of my life."
No matter how afraid she was, no matter how much she tried to escape, she could not hide her face forever. Moreover … since she had returned to his side, was there any reason to continue hiding her face … no matter how she tried to hide it, her face would never return to how it was before.
"Mm …" She absentmindedly replied. No matter how much Ling Chen comforted her, she could not be completely at ease with her appearance. She raised her head and placed it on her cloak. Her hands trembled as if she was using all of her strength to remove the cloak from her face.
Xuanyuan Dia Wu's face 13 years later was completely revealed to Ling Chen. In that instant, Ling Chen's eyes uncontrollably twitched, and his vision became hazy … he wasn't afraid of seeing Xuanyuan Dia Wu's disfigured face, but that he would feel so much pain that he would want to die if he saw it.
Finally, his vision became clear, and Xuanyuan Dia Wu's face appeared in front of him. He stared at her for a very, very long time …
This was a very, very white face, as white as mutton fat jade, and seemed even whiter and more dazzling than the frost and snow reflecting the sunlight in winter. This milky whiteness might be due to the fact that she covered her face all year round, but the decisive factor was still her natural beauty.
Her slender eyebrows were like beautiful crescent moons. Her eyes were clear and deep. Her long eyelashes still had a few sparkling and translucent tears. Her snow-white cheeks were smooth and smooth, with a rosy redness left behind after crying. Her two cherry lips under her straight nose were as tender as flower petals. It was like a red rouge drawn by the hands of God. Her beauty was unparalleled. Moreover, all of these just happened to converge on the same pure and refined beautiful dimple. Her beautiful black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall was smooth like satin, and it fluttered beautifully in the gentle breeze, causing her snow-white complexion to seem even more jade-like and icy, and it was extremely moving. Her watery eyes were like twinkling stars hanging in the dark night sky, flashing with an uneasy light under his sluggish gaze.
So beautiful … all of Ling Chen's emotions gathered into two words that reverberated in his mind. This peerlessly beautiful face had the outline of Xuanyuan Dia Wu when she was young, but it was much more beautiful than what Ling Chen had imagined her to be when she grew up … she was almost as beautiful as Yun Meng Xin.
"Am I … very ugly … and scary …" Xuanyuan Dia Wu lightly bit her lips as she asked … however, she could not understand Ling Chen's gaze.
"No!" Ling Chen shook his head and started to laugh. His laugh was incredibly relaxed and joyful, and all of the pain and haze in his heart disappeared. He stretched out his hand and cupped Xuanyuan Dia Wu's face, carefully stroking her smooth, jade-like skin as if it was the most beautiful piece of art in the world. "My Dia Wu is indeed a devastatingly beautiful woman after growing up."
"Big sister is so pretty!" Shadissika also cried out in amazement, a cute and pure smile on her face. "It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful big sister."
"Eh?" Xuanyuan Dia Wu was stunned. She could understand Ling Chen's words as a form of consolation. But this little girl … a girl of her age would have a direct and violent reaction to ugly things. However, this little girl didn't scream in fear when facing her face. Instead, she was sincerely praising her … How could this be?
"Dia Wu, you have to believe that there are miracles in this world." Ling Chen reluctantly moved his hand away from Xuanyuan Dia Wu's face and took out a small mirror from somewhere. He held it in front of Xuanyuan Dia Wu and smiled as he looked at her.
Within the mirror was a ridiculously beautiful young woman, so beautiful that even the most beautiful words in the world could not describe her. The instant that Xuanyuan Dia Wu's gaze fell on the mirror, she froze. After a while, she cried out as she covered her face with her hands.
The young woman's face in the mirror was covered by a pair of hands that were wrapped in gray cloth.
"Is this me … is this me … is this me … is this me …" Xuanyuan Dia Wu was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently. She felt around her face with her hands, but she couldn't feel any scars at all. All she could feel was a soft, smooth skin.
Ling Chen shook the mirror and smiled as he said, "This is a mirror that can't be any more real. Your big brother Tian Ya spent 6 gold coins to buy this, and it's definitely the real deal. If it's fake, I'll pay you back 10 times. You face the mirror, and what you see in the mirror is, of course, yourself. "
"But … but … how could this be … I … how could this be …" Xuanyuan Dia Wu was still unable to speak coherently. She felt incredibly surprised, but also incredibly unreal.
