Chapter 370: Feng Tianlan Regains Her Looks
Luo Yunzhu nodded. She stowed the brocade box then said, “As the saying goes, ‘if one day feels like three autumns, then three days would be nine autumns, and that is a long time to wait!'”
The corners of Feng Tianlan’s lips twitched, and she walked to the room next door to check on Si Mobai. Seeing that he was deep in slumber, she partially closed her eyes and said, “Hopefully, you will be the first to see.”
She’d kept the scars for so long because she knew that being beautiful could cause trouble. She had never wanted to attract unnecessary attention and provoke the wrong crowd. But now she wanted to remove the scars on her face for Si Mobai!
Sitting before the dressing table, Feng Tianlan applied the scar removal medication to the scar, and her thoughts returned to those times when her predecessor had been canned by Si Rong—her dramatic death scene from her previous lifetime.
Shen Yunya had said that, since Brother Jin loved her face most, she’d wanted to peel the skin off it and gouge her eyes out…
After applying the medication, Feng Tianlan closed her eyes and pushed away her unhappy memories. When she reopened her eyes, the deep hurt hidden there disappeared, and her eyes became bright like stars. It was as if she had been reborn.
The next day, the scar on Feng Tianlan’s face resembled a slowly shedding centipede. Only a light red scar was left. On the second day, the light red mark faded to light pink. Unless looked carefully, one would not know that she used to have a scar on her face.
On the third day…
Luo Yunzhu leaned on the wooden door and shouted weakly, “Tianlan, open the door, quickly! I want to see your face. I want to see peerless beauty.”
It was not easy for her to wait three whole days. Each day felt as long as a year, and in the end, Tianlan would not even let her see. She had already been shouting for two hours, and Tianlan still would not let her see. How very cruel and maddening!
Feng Tianlan sat on the bedside watching Si Mobai sleep deeply. She completely ignored Luo Yunzhu yelling outside the door. After regaining her looks, she wanted him to be the first to see her. When she had woken up that morning, she had only cleaned her face. She’d not even used the mirror so that she could avoid seeing her reflection.
The pale grey sky of morning slowly turned into the blazing sun of noon. A beautiful orange sunset appeared in the evening, and, finally, the darkness of night fell. Luo Yunzhu had long since given up yelling outside Tianlan’s door. She’d changed positions from leaning against the door to hugging the pillar.
At that moment, Yunzhu finally understood that Tianlan wanted the Wargod to be the first to see her.
Enlightened at last!
Still, prioritizing her lover over her friends—how annoying!
At midnight, a cold wind started blowing. Luo Yunzhu had already given up waiting outside the door and returned to her room to sleep. Inside her room, Feng Tianlan also fell aside lying on the bedside.
Si Mobai found himself in a place surrounded by elusive fog, someplace seemingly up high. He looked down at everything on the earth as if he were looking for something. A red figure flashed by, and he quickly ran after it but could not catch up. It seemed like it was always only a foot away, but he just could not catch it.
As he was chasing it, the red figure unexpectedly vanished, and his body suddenly fell from the air.
Si Mobai abruptly opened his eyes. His mind was momentarily blank, but he quickly felt Feng Tianlan beside him and turned around. Seeing Feng Tianlan sleeping at his bedside, his breath stopped for a moment, and his heartbeat immediately started to race.
Seeing her first thing when he woke up filled his heart with happiness and satisfaction.
Si Mobai’s lips curved upward, and his pretty almond-shaped eyes seemed to be smiling. He stretched out his hands because he wanted to touch Feng Tianlan’s face but stopped. Her face…
Without that gruesome scar, which had extended from her eyebrows to the side of her face, her face was smooth like perfect white jade. Sacred and flawless. A mere glimpse of her face from the side was a beautiful sight, unlike any other.
Si Mobai wanted to use his hands to brush away Feng Tianlan’s hair so that he could see better. Then, he saw Feng Tianlan gradually open her sleepy eyes to look at him…
