Volume 1 Infatuation and Bitterness Chapter 99 Jealousy (2)
In the middle of the night, the gate of the street of Nanyu City is closed, and there is no one in sight, and occasionally there are spring birds crying by, like a crow sorrowful, and the sound is terrifying.
The red lanterns under the hanging beams were crumbling in the wind, as if no one had passed by for a long time.
In the air, two or three drops of rain fell piecemeal, and in the sound of dripping, a goose-yellow figure dragged his tired body out of the dark corner, and every step seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
The broken hair on Gu Qingli's forehead was messy in the wind, but the several piercing scars on his face were shocking and terrifying, as if they had come from hell, and his face was extremely hideous.
The rain fell on her face, and the pain was mixed with shame, which made her feel hateful.
Today, the Jade King's Mansion and her dancing with Yin, for some reason, but only an hour later, her defeat has spread all over the streets and alleys of Nanyu City.
Not to mention that his appearance has been ruined, and now he can't even enter the door.
thought that she wanted to be windy and rainy in the past, but now, because of a competition, she has become the laughing stock of Nanyu City.
After her appearance was ruined, before she could enter the house, her father sent someone to ruin her to cut off the father-daughter relationship with her.
Since then, she has become the laughing stock of everyone in Nanyu City after dinner. Gu Qingli, who was respected as a talented woman in Nanyu City in the past, has also completely become a big scandal in Nanyu City.
The hand that had been whipped slowly stroked the side of his face, and the pain that penetrated into his bones came, Gu Qingli couldn't help but take a deep breath, and slowly found a good place to shelter from the wind and rain on the street.
In the sky, lightning and thunder roared, and she saw that the rainstorm was coming, but she was like a beggar sleeping on the street, with long black hair in a mess, and her face was covered with blood, and she had become an extremely ugly person.
After a short time, the torrential rain fell, like the water of the rolling river, colliding with the ground, making a terrifying sound.
Gu Qingli clenched his arms and shrank in the corner, embarrassed, he was at the end of his rope.
As soon as he raised his head, a bolt of lightning descended head-on, and Gu Qingli was so frightened that he took a step back, his face distorted like a ghost. At this moment, a ragged beggar came from the rain, and was about to pick a place on her side to hide from the rain, but as soon as she approached, she was frightened by Gu Qingli and lost her three souls.
"Hell......"
A terrible scream pierced the night sky, and the beggar was so frightened that before he could straighten up his tattered clothes, he stumbled into the rain and disappeared.
Gu Qingli looked at this sudden scene inexplicably, and only after a while did he realize that the ghost in the beggar's mouth was talking about himself.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly, buried her head in the crook of her arm, and said to herself: "This is the reincarnation of cause and effect, isn't retribution unpleasant?" ”
If she had known that she would have such a day, she would never have said such commanding words at a banquet.
"Hehe......" She suddenly laughed wildly, her facial wound was hideous, as if she had gone crazy, and said loudly: "Gu Qingli, Gu Qingli, I knew why I had to do it today." Now it's okay, there is a family that can't be returned, there is a grievance that can't be sueed, and life is not human, and ghosts are not ghosts......"
Gradually, her voice became lower again, as if she had thought of something, and gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "It's all that Yin Zi who hurts, no, I can't just let her go, since my appearance has been ruined, then I will destroy her." I also want her to taste what life is worse than death. ”
"It's better to live than to die, hehe......"
Before Gu Qingli's words fell, he heard a shrill voice that could not be heard from the rain from the rain. When I looked up, I saw that a man dressed in black came in the rain.
Strangely, it was pouring rain outside the eaves, but the rain fell on the man's body, but the man's clothes were not wet at all.
Gu Qingli was alarmed in his heart, leaned against the wall and shrank back, and asked tremblingly, "Who are you......"
The man in black chuckled, his voice still indistinguishable from men and women. "Who am I, I'm the one who came to help you......"
The rain was pouring down, and the man in black stood still under the eaves and did not take a step forward. "The Yin Zi you are talking about is not a mortal, why do you make her life worse than death. ”
Gu Qingli was taken aback and said, "What are you talking about, what are you not mortals,"
"I said......" The man in black playfully stretched the end of the voice and said: "Yin Zi is not something that you ordinary people can harm, she is a flower spirit on the other side of the underworld, the top pet of the Hades......
"What do you mean. Sensing that the man in black had no malicious intent, Gu Qingli immediately relaxed his vigilance, but his eyes were still terrified.
"According to your mortal meaning, she is a demon, just ask you a mortal, how can you fight a demon. The man in black raised his head inadvertently, looking leisurely, and didn't put Gu Qingli in his eyes at all.
"Demon, you mean, Yin Zi is a demon," Gu Qingli's eyes widened when he heard this, and the wound on his face became more and more hideous.
"Yes, she's a demon. The man in black nodded. "So why do you want her to live rather than die. ”
Gu Qingli said in fear: "Who are you, why are you telling me this." ”
She is not a human or a ghost now, and she refuses to even recognize her biological father, so what way will she deal with a demon.
The man in black slowly squatted down, a pair of dark pupils were dark and shiny under the cover of the black cloth, she reached out to clamp Gu Qingli's jaw, and said with a smile: "Why don't we make a deal." I'll restore your appearance, and you'll do one thing for me......"
"Are you saying that my appearance can be restored?" Gu Qingli seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and no longer bothered to be afraid of this black-clothed man who appeared out of thin air, he hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked excitedly.
The man in black brushed away Gu Qingli's outstretched hand, took a step back, nodded proudly and showed off: "Naturally, with me, let alone appearance, even if you want to become the number one beauty in the world, it's just a matter of me moving my fingers." ”
"Good. As long as you can restore my appearance, whatever you want me to do, I promise you. Gu Qingli finally seemed to see a glimmer of hope in the bottomless darkness.
As long as her appearance can be restored, as long as she can be the same as before, whatever she is asked to do, she is willing.
"Good. As soon as the word was settled, the man in black smiled heartily, and his sharp and ugly voice was like a ghost crying, which made Gu Qingli afraid for no reason. "Now I'll help you restore the appearance of one side of your face, and if it is done, then you come here to me again, and I will help you restore the appearance of the other side of your face. ”
After speaking, the man in black flicked his long sleeves, and a white light flashed, and he saw that the scar on the right side of Gu Qingli's face disappeared invisibly, leaving no trace, and even the blood stains all over his face seemed to disappear inexplicably.
Sensing a warm current on his right face, Gu Qingli subconsciously reached out and touched it, only to feel that the skin on his face was as smooth as ever, as if he had not been injured, and returned to the way it was before his appearance was destroyed. It's just the left side of her face, and the wound is still hideous.
Disappointed and faintly filled with hope, Gu Qingli knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said happily: "Thank you for the rescue." ”
The man in black waved his hand, turned around, and said leisurely: "You don't have to thank me, we are just cooperating." ”
"I don't know what the benefactor needs me to do. Tasting the sweetness, Gu Qingli's heart gradually relaxed a lot.
Although only the appearance of the right side of the face has been restored, this is enough,
The man in black turned around, beckoned, and said, "Come here." Gu Qingli walked over without hesitation, his eyes shining with excitement.
The man in black leaned forward, her wide robe standing in the wind, and she saw that her face, which was hidden under the black cloth, had already revealed a bit of excellence.
The warm breath hit Gu Qingli's ears, Gu Qingli listened quietly, but the look of horror on his face was stronger than a while.
After the man in black finished speaking, the thick fog around her body gradually rose, wrapped in rain, she no longer looked at what Gu Qingli looked like, only turned around, and disappeared into the night.
Gu Qingli looked at the direction where the man in black disappeared, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the left side of his face, and muttered, "It should be worth it." ”
As long as her appearance can be restored to the same as before, whatever she asks her to do, it should be worth it.
But why, the position of the heart will inexplicably transmit a sense of fear.
A good night's sleep, on this day, Yin Zi got up very early.
Perhaps it was the events at yesterday's banquet that made her happy, and early in the morning, Biyu led a group of little maids to knock on the door, and returned to the place where Gu Qingli, the lady of the Gu family, went after yesterday's dinner.
It's also strange, but after one night's hard work, yesterday's dance between her and Gu Qingli has become a good story in Nanyu City.
The teahouses in Nanyu City today are quite lively, and the teahouses everywhere are spreading that there is a stunning beauty in the Jade King's Mansion, not to mention the beauty of the city, not to mention the competition, and the eldest lady of the Gu family, which can be called a must, and it makes her famous.
Anyone who had seen Yin Zi during the banquet also praised her again and again.
This excitement can provoke a group of ladies in the banquet yesterday who had made sarcastic remarks to Gu Qingli, and before noon, they gathered to make trouble, and ran all over the teahouses in Nanyu City in the name of listening to books, just to drive down those storytellers and provoke the people in the city to complain......
Hearing this, Yin Zi couldn't help but yawn and complained, "Biyu, you're here to tell me this?!"
She had planned to sleep a little longer.
"Yes, girl. Biyu nodded and said with relish: "Don't you know, since the prince ordered to destroy the appearance of the eldest lady of the Gu family yesterday, after the Gu prefect heard about it, he was even more frightened to cut off the father-daughter relationship with her and drove her out of the Gu family. ”
"Therefore, it is all my fault that she has today. The glow in her purple eyes suddenly dimmed.
She had no intention, and the reason why she was invited to dance was just because she felt fun for a while.
Besides, Miss Gu's disfigurement, she just wanted to make Miss Gu repent, so she deliberately didn't intercede for her in front of Yufu. She had wanted to wait until she realized her mistake and then restore her appearance. But I never thought that there would be such a big movement.
"Don't say that. Biyu shook her head and said to herself: "The girl is kind-hearted, if it weren't for the Miss Gu family's unforgiveness, you wouldn't treat her like this, the so-called reincarnation of cause and effect, has its own retribution, a jealous woman like her, even if she doesn't meet the girl, sooner or later one day will be retributed." ”
"Hmm. Yin Zi nodded soothingly, "It's not unreasonable for you to say that, it's just a pity that such a delicate beauty." ”
