Chapter Forty-Eight: Miracles Can Only Be Temporary

If Jasmine had enjoyed the men's gaze before, now she was left with worry and fear.

She quickened her pace again, as if she were being chased by the Fusaks.

Finally, Jasmine rushed into the apartment before the men approached and got rid of them.

Call...... The girl patted her chest and secretly decided not to go out at night in the future.

Only then did she realize that there were also disadvantages to her unimaginable beauty.

After calming down, Jasmin ascended the dimly lit staircase to the third floor, returned to his house, and opened the door with the key he had with him.

She cautiously approached her parents' bedside and once again examined their faces by the moonlight.

Compared to when she had gone out not long ago, her father and mother had a rather rosy face, much less gray hair and wrinkles, and almost no snoring.

They really got back to health...... Jasmin smiled uncontrollably, visibly relieved.

Sensing the movement, her mother's eyelids moved and slowly opened.

Jasmine held his breath and restrained his smile, ready to surprise his mother.

Her mother half-sat up and looked over, her expression suddenly terrified.

"Who are you?" the woman asked in a sharp voice, pushing her husband hard against her.

Who am I? Jasmin was a little stunned by the question, and for a moment did not know how to answer this simple question.

At this time, her father also woke up, and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with confusion and wariness.

"Get out! or I'll call the police up!" Jasmin's mother left the bed, picked up the candlestick that had been placed next to it, and used it as a weapon.

"Thieves are not welcome. Jasmin's father graciously issued an eviction order.

He knows that when facing thieves, try not to push too much, otherwise it is easy for the other party to choose extreme ways to deal with them.

If he didn't have a wife and children, he wasn't too afraid to fight thieves, but now, he carried an entire family on his shoulders.

Jasmine finally came back to his senses and hurriedly spoke:

"Dad, Mom, I'm ......"

Before she finished speaking, her mother pushed her head and face, and her father pressed her shoulders and kept her out of the room.

As for what she said, no one cared in this situation.

Bang dang!

The door of his house closed in front of him, leaving Jasmin dazed and helpless.

She wanted to knock on the door, to prove her identity with the key she had with her, but at that moment she heard her mother say to the policeman patrolling below from the opposite window:

"There are thieves here, there are thieves!"

Thief...... Mom and Dad don't know me anymore...... Will they think I've murdered me...... Will the police believe the "fully automatic wishing machine"...... Jasmin's heart tightened, and he subconsciously decided to leave the apartment first, avoid the police, and wait until dawn to explain to his father and mother one by one, and use the common memories to win their trust.

Kicking and kicking, she buried her head and rushed out of the apartment with her head buried in the eyes of the neighbors who heard the noise.

Running all the way to a nearby alley, avoiding the police coming from the street, Jasmine gasped for breath and stopped, tears involuntarily sliding down his face and falling to the ground.

Suddenly, a hand reached over and covered her mouth, dragging her to a secluded part of the alley.

"How much, I'll give you ...... as much as I want" A drunk, muffled voice sounded in Jasmin's ears, as if he thought she was a street girl, and couldn't resist her temptation.

Jasmine struggled, frightened, frightened and desperate.

Just when she felt like she was about to collapse, the drunkard's hand let go.

"Miss, are you alright?" a rough male voice sounded.

Jasmin walked briskly out of the drunkard's area before turning around to see a policeman in a black-and-white checkered uniform.

"He, he wanted to ......," Jasmin said and cried.

The policeman looked at her with pity and said:

"We'll take him to the magistrate's court, but, miss, you'll need to go back to the police station with me and take a statement. ”

Jasmine was in a state of extreme panic and helplessness, and nodded subconsciously.

Not long after, she sat down in the confession room of a nearby police station, opposite the policeman and his colleagues.

"That is, he never asked if you were a street girl, and you never hinted at soliciting customers?" the policeman said as he pondered his words.

He was worried that if he said it too bluntly, he would hurt the beautiful girl in front of him.

Jasmine held the coffee cup, lowered his head and took a sip and said:

"Well, I just got to that alley. ”

"Okay, that's it. Miss Jasmine, can you tell us where your house is, and we'll send someone to take you back. Another policeman asked flatteringly.

Thinking of his parents' reaction, thinking of those disgusting eyes, Jasmine couldn't help but shudder, and said as if he was about to cry:

"I have a conflict with my parents and can't go home for the time being, maybe you can take me to the nearest hotel......"

At this point, she remembered that she had only a few pennies left, and she couldn't stay in a nice hotel, which was almost dangerous to her.

The first policeman was stunned and said:

"Good. ”

On the way to the nearest hotel, the policeman hesitated several times and finally spoke:

"If, I mean, if you're going to be a street girl, you can come to me directly, no, you don't have to work so hard......"

Hearing this, Jasmine felt that his spirit was about to collapse, just like the feeling he felt when he first saw that face after being burned by the fire.

This made her extremely insecure and silent without answering.

Luckily, the policeman didn't force her and drove her all the way to the door of the nearest hotel.

"No, I'll go in myself. Jasmine declined the offer to send her to the room.

When the policeman left, she walked out of the hotel without actually checking in.

She wanted to go to the Municipal Square, to the "fully automatic wishing machine" and cancel her last wish.

Such a beauty is really terrifying!

After taking a few steps, Jasmin removed the scarf that had been draped over his shoulders and wrapped it around his face layer after layer, just like he had when he first went out tonight.

At that time, her face still had traces of flame burns, and her missing nose and badly damaged lips made her look like a demon.

After arriving at the town plaza in a trackless horse-drawn carriage, she re-entered the street and saw the brass-colored "automatic wishing machine".

Jasmine's heart suddenly calmed down, and he quickened his pace to the machine.

Then, she was at a loss, not knowing what to do to fulfill her last wish.

"Your first wish is a free trial, not counted among the three wishes, so you have one more wish. Then Jasmine heard the voice of Mr. Merlin Hermes.

She turned her head to look across the street, beside the gas lamp, and in the dim light, the magician in the top hat was calmly watching her.

"Okay, okay. Jasmine hurriedly took out a copper penny and threw it into the "fully automatic wishing machine".

"I hope my last wish is canceled. She closed her eyes in silence as she grasped the wrench and spun it around.

"Tuk".

Once again, she heard the slightly dull tapping.

After opening his eyes, Jasmine rushed to the nearby store, stopped in front of the glass window, and took off the scarf wrapped around his face layer by layer.

She saw herself again, the girl who was not pretty.

Jasmine relaxed, and instinctively looked back at the "automatic wishing machine", only to find that it was missing with the Mr. Merlin Hermes.

"Praise be to the goddess, thank you to Mr. Hermes. Jasmine sincerely tapped four times clockwise on his chest.

She then took the last bronze penny and got into the trackless carriage home.

Along the way, no one gave her a place.

When she vanished into the street, Crane reappeared on the side of the street, holding an ancient silver mirror in his hand.

"Great Master, why don't you say at the end, 'Too much greed will only turn good things into bad' or 'Wishes always have a price'? On the surface of the mirror, silver words jumped out.

Klein smiled and said:

"The biggest problem is that I can't satisfy her desire to become very, very, very beautiful in the normal way, and the 'lie' can only be adjusted to a certain extent.

"So, I had to 'graft' one of the effects of a seal from a witch to her, which led to her attaining stunning beauty with terrifying seductive abilities that the men around her couldn't resist. ”

The seal belonged to the "Judgment" Hugh and was a relic of the witch Sherman.

- Due to Hugh's omission in preserving, Sheman's extraordinary properties merged with the box containing it, creating a seal with a terrible negative effect, causing Hugh's brother to look at the box incorrectly.

To solve this problem, Hugh made a wish to Mr. "The Fool" and asked Him to seal the object.

After casually speaking, Klein glanced at the "magic mirror":

"Arodes, are you comforting me?"

"No, the main problem is that she's too greedy, and if she just wants to be beautiful and doesn't have so much 'very' attached, it will end up quite well. On the surface of the mirror, silver words quickly appeared.

"Yes, that's within the scope of 'lies' that can be adjusted. Crane nodded and said to Arodes, "The adjustment of the appearance of the 'lie' can indeed be permanently solidified, but this is always different from the original muscle, skin and bone structure, after more than ten years, when she gradually shows signs of aging, the difference between the adjusted part and the unadjusted part will slowly intensify, and the face will look quite weird and stiff, unless she really becomes a 'faceling', and the problem can be corrected from time to time." ”

Speaking of this, Klein smiled and shook his head:

"A lie is just a lie after all. ”

Then, as he walked to the other end of the street, he continued:

"Moreover, even if she does become beautiful, it is unknown whether she will live a better life in the future, it is true that beauty can give her a lot of resources to marry a 'prince', but her own cultivation, personality and knowledge level will most likely not be able to sustain that life for too long.

Well, it is not ruled out that she is good at learning, can enrich herself from various experiences, and finally control the possibility of a better life, but that is another story.

"Hehe, miracles can only be temporary, and fate is always long. ”

During the conversation with "Magic Mirror" Arodes, Crane's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

His understanding of the "miracle master" deepened by another level.

............

Back in the apartment where he was, Jasmin didn't try to open the door, and it took a lot of courage to reach out and knock on it.

With a creak, the door opened, and her mother appeared in front of her.

"Oh, you're finally back. Her mother breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in unusual horror, "You, your face?"

Jasmine squeezed out a smile and said:

"Healed, a gentleman who is good at miracles. ”

Mr. "Fully automatic wishing machine".

Just when her mother and father suspected that their daughter was under the influence of the devil, several policemen in black and white checkered uniforms went up the stairs and came over.

The first is a lady with pale blue eyes and a quiet smile.

"Miss Jasmin, we have something to ask you. The lady said politely.
