Xiao Xiaoxiao didn’t wait for Yun Qingxue’s response but instead noticed that Yun Qingxue’s entire appearance was transforming at a visibly rapid pace. Her originally sallow skin turned snow-white and smooth, her flat nose became pert and upturned, her round, dough-like face gradually slimmed down, even her eyes grew larger, and her hair transformed from dry and yellowish to glossy black…
Xiao Xiaoxiao covered her mouth with her hand, hardly able to believe what she was seeing…
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the originally unattractive Yun Qingxue had turned into a stunning beauty—her demeanor, her features, her figure…
Absolutely flawless! At this moment, Yun Qingxue shone as brilliantly as the brightest star in the sky, as radiant as the purest moon in the night!
Even Xiao Xiaoxiao, who had already become a ghostly official and thought she had seen plenty of mystical arts, was astonished. Could this be the legendary transformation technique?
Wow! It was truly miraculous, turning an ugly girl into a peerless beauty! She wanted it too! She also wanted to become a stunning beauty!
“Qingxue, Qingxue!” As soon as Yun Qingxue’s transformation ended, Xiao Xiaoxiao immediately rushed over, grabbing her arm with both hands, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at her.
“Wh-what’s wrong?” Yun Qingxue felt a shiver run down her spine under Xiao Xiaoxiao’s eager, gleaming stare.
Xiao Xiaoxiao tugged at her arm, shaking it back and forth, pleading in a pitiful voice, “Qingxue… Xuexue… do you have any more of that pill you just took? I want one too~”
Yun Qingxue looked helplessly at Xiao Xiaoxiao’s fawning expression and shook her head honestly. “No more.”
“Ah?” Xiao Xiaoxiao pouted, frowning in frustration.
“What do you want it for?” Yun Qingxue couldn’t quite grasp her intention.
“To become beautiful like you!” Xiao Xiaoxiao declared with determination. “Beauty is a woman’s lifelong pursuit!”
Yun Qingxue stared at her speechlessly. “That pill doesn’t make people beautiful.”
Xiao Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in disbelief as she pointed at Yun Qingxue. “But you clearly became beautiful!!!”
Yun Qingxue sighed and patiently explained the pill’s actual effects to Xiao Xiaoxiao.
After hearing it, Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Qingxue incredulously. “So… this is your original appearance?”
Yun Qingxue nodded…
Xiao Xiaoxiao fell silent, pondering for a moment before seeming to realize something. She gave Yun Qingxue a disapproving look. “You chose to restore your appearance now because you plan to use a beauty trap on Chen Qing?”
…－_－|| Girl, you’re overthinking it!
“Qingxue, you mustn’t do anything reckless! Even though that Chen Qing is despicable for causing your friend’s death, and I understand your desire for revenge, there’s no need to use a beauty trap on an old man who could be your grandfather!” Xiao Xiaoxiao urged with concern, her face etched with worry, as if afraid Yun Qingxue might do something foolish that would “lose both the battle and the war.”
Faced with Xiao Xiaoxiao’s concern, Yun Qingxue felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart. Sometimes, when Xiao Xiaoxiao acted silly, she couldn’t help but think of Jin Lin, wondering if she’d ever have the chance to see him again…
“I do intend to use a beauty trap,” Yun Qingxue admitted without hiding it from Xiao Xiaoxiao. Restoring her appearance had always been part of her plan.
“You…”
Xiao Xiaoxiao wanted to dissuade her further, but Yun Qingxue cut her off. “Don’t worry, the target of my beauty trap definitely isn’t Chen Qing, and I won’t let myself suffer any losses. Relax, okay?”
“But… just be careful.”
Xiao Xiaoxiao wanted to advise her further, but the words that came out were different.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t worried about Yun Qingxue—it was just that she had already regained her original appearance. With looks like that, even without deliberately deploying a beauty trap, her mere presence was a living, breathing temptation. There was no need to even try…
“Got it, don’t worry.” Yun Qingxue smiled, like spring flowers blooming.
At that moment, a poem suddenly popped into Xiao Xiaoxiao’s mind: “A delicate fan, white orchids in hand, a slender waist adorned with jade, dancing in celestial gauze. As if a fairy descended to earth, a glance back outshines the stars.”
If beauty were a crime, Yun Qingxue before her would undoubtedly be guilty of an unforgivable, heinous sin!!!
But she wanted to commit that sin too, to be unforgivably guilty!!!
Xiao Xiaoxiao pinched her own cheeks, lamenting how, even though neither of them was human now, their appearances could still differ so much… Sigh!!!
While Xiao Xiaoxiao was lost in her thoughts, Yun Qingxue had already opened the door. Noticing Xiao Xiaoxiao hadn’t followed, she turned back and asked, “Xiaoxiao, are you coming?”
“Yes, yes!” Xiao Xiaoxiao snapped out of it and hurriedly responded, stepping forward to catch up with Yun Qingxue.
The two left the room together.
Prince Ning and Chen Qing, who had gone off to whisper about something, had already returned and were now standing not far from Yun Qingxue’s door.
Hearing the commotion, both turned their heads to look in Yun Qingxue’s direction.
