Volume 2: Awakening Memories ☆ Light of Dawn Chapter 13: His Inverse Scales

  The sound of Yi's heart fell, like the autumn wind blowing down the last few withered leaves on the treetops, and the air was filled with the chill of approaching winter. Desolate, still, and whizzing by.

  The room was eerily quiet, as if even the sound of breathing had disappeared, and everyone was almost instantly completely petrified, with the wind in disarray.

  Is this an expression of her being over-stimulated?

  Under the heavens, there is no woman who wouldn't care about her appearance, even if she's born ordinary and can't be found in a crowd. Nor would any woman like to see an eye-catching and ugly scar on her delicate face, exclaiming with a tone of surprise and delight, "This scar really has character!"

  "Jiuer, don't scare your sister, your face will really get better. If you're feeling uncomfortable in your heart, just say it out loud, don't force yourself to put on a happy face." Yexue was choked with tears, her beautiful face filled with worry and self-blame.

  She herself is a woman and also understands how important a woman's face is, hurting anywhere but not the face is what she has been keeping in mind since she was sensible.

  "The Queen of War doesn't need to worry, Snow Cream will help you remove the scars. In less than half a month, there won't be any trace on your face." Si Tu Luo Lan's forehead had several black lines hanging upside down, this was her way of expressing sadness and pain, which was so... unusual.

  Yi Xin rolled her eyes, handed the mirror back to Liang Chen, and looked at their worried and difficult expressions. She helplessly rolled her eyes again, as if what she said wasn't worth believing.

  In the past, I watched Hong Kong movies and thought that triads were quite interesting. As the saying goes, 'A person in the underworld will inevitably get hurt', having a scar on one's face is cool, it shows character, and only then can it be said that she is also a part of the underworld.

  Cough, her appearance is naturally weak and delicate, her voice is naturally sweet and soft, and she has a subtle charm and coquettishness. Many times when she's clearly angry with an angry expression and tone, it turns into another kind of spoiled behavior.

  Yi Xin's heart was quite hurt by this, and with this scar, no one should think of her as a harmless little white rabbit again.

  "I'm not sad or upset, I actually think this scar looks pretty cool. Look at it, isn't it awesome?" He tried to put on a tough expression, thinking about whether he could keep the scar on his face.

  With this scar, she won't always see those who judge people by their appearance, and it will be convenient for her to go out in the future without worrying that her overly beautiful face will bring big trouble.

  "What are you thinking?"

  Cool?

  What does it mean, Ye Juechen didn't quite understand, but looking at her in front of him would make him think of the icy expression he had when he was holding a dagger and cutting Qian Yiniang into a white skeleton with his bare hands in the Pepper Room.

  She was a different person back then compared to now, although she is still the same person.

  One is naive and innocent, reckless and impulsive; another is vengeful and ruthless, decisive and merciless.

  If he were asked which one he preferred, a strange thought suddenly emerged in Ye Juechen's mind, and it really scared him.

  "No... I didn't have any bad ideas." She smiled slightly, now she was a wounded person and had to take good care of herself while waiting for her body to recover.

  They all avoided telling her what happened that day, but Yixin felt keenly that they were hiding something important.

  Forget it, let her rest and figure it out slowly by herself.

  Rather than ask, it's better not to stir up trouble unnecessarily.

  In addition, she instructed that the renovated shop should also be completed and it's time to design some decorations for sale, let's see how it goes.

  Then, calculate everything about leaving the War King's Mansion.

  "Bad idea?" He raised an eyebrow, Ye Juechen gazed at her flustered little face, those beautiful eyes rolling around in a flurry, sparkling with vitality, even he couldn't help but follow along and curl up the corners of his mouth.

  As long as she is fine, he doesn't mind anything else.

  Even if she's just a little wild cat who gets into huge trouble, there's nothing he can't handle.

  "Hehe." Yixin Chelai chuckled and immediately changed the subject, tugging on Ye Juedi's sleeve and said pitifully: "I'm so hungry, I want to eat."

  "Your Highness, let the princess drink a bowl of warm soup first."

  Ye Juechen took over the bowl, tested the temperature, and said in a low voice: "Open your mouth."

  His words were not gentle, but his actions were damn gentle.

  Her nose slightly sour, she blinked hard and said in a low voice: "I can handle it myself."

  Don't be too good or too gentle with her, she's really afraid of getting trapped in his gentleness and losing herself forever.

  She didn't want to marry him again if she had known earlier that he already had a woman and children outside, no matter what her parents said, she would not have agreed to marry him.

  Never having tasted the flavor of love, yet also knowing what she wants is to be unique. If you can't give it to her, then don't enter her heart, and let her not be able to put it down.

  "With your clumsy hands and feet, you didn't even get to drink the soup, but instead spilled it all over the bed." Ye Juechen was deeply sympathetic to her carelessness.

  "My hands and feet are hairless, how can I be hairy-handed and footed?" Her pretty face blushed red, and she playfully pretended to be a rogue, as if others understood her very well.

  Although she was very likely to drink a few mouthfuls and spill the soup all over her bed.

  But also can't be so rude to her, teaching her a lesson in front of so many outsiders.

  Pfft——

  Situ Luolan had witnessed Yixin's art of speaking, but still couldn't help it and covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. In the end, under Ye Juedu's glare, she cleared her throat and said: "Your Highness, your hand injury hasn't healed yet, let His Highness feed you instead."

  "Jiǔ ér, guāi guāi chī dōng xī, rán hòu hǎo hǎo xiū xī."

  Translation: "Nine, be good and eat something, then rest well."

  "Sister, don't worry about it, and I really don't mind the scar on my face, so don't take it to heart." Ye Xue dusted off her mouth with a twisted expression as she drank wine, her movements very careful, much safer than when she herself was drinking soup.

  "But..."

  "A person's appearance is very important, but some people are beautiful on the outside and ugly on the inside, while others are ugly on the outside and kind on the inside. If I had to choose between the two, I would choose the latter. Isn't it said in Buddhist scriptures that 'one's face is born from one's heart'? A good heart makes for a beautiful appearance, an evil heart makes for an ugly appearance." This scar might have been considered disfiguring in ancient times, but in modern times, a single cosmetic surgery and it would be gone.

  "With a face that is said to be breathtakingly beautiful, there's nothing good about it. Either I'm being targeted by bad people or resented by other women. If I'm not being called a seductress, then I'm being cursed as a national calamity. If I had the choice, I'd rather have an ordinary and plain face than this one."

  With her excellent genes from the Yi family, even if she was ordinary, she would never have a face that you forget after just one glance.

  "The princess's words are indeed correct, I've learned from them." A good heart is beautiful, isn't that the same principle? Sutu Luolan thought of Nan Rong's shallow words and saw the scars on her face, crazily yelling and scolding, beating the slightly pretty maids by her side, and could only shake his head in bitter laughter.

  To say nothing of other things, just in terms of demeanor, Nan Rong's words are far inferior.

  "Have I taught you anything?" Dazed blinking, let out a yawn, rubbed the round belly, full and content, just wanting to sleep, "I'm tired."

  "Don't think too much, go to sleep." Ye Juechen couldn't stand the smell on himself and was afraid that if he walked away for a while, she would wake up.

  He waited until she woke up and became her former lively and cheerful self again.

  "Mm." She would think, but not now.

  "Sister will come to see you again tomorrow." Ye Yuexiao couldn't always stay in the War King's palace, her father and mother were very concerned about Jiu'er, she had to go back and let them know.

  She nodded with her eyes closed, leaned against the pillow and soon fell fast asleep. Led by Ye Xuechen, the group quietly left the room, closing the door behind them.

  "Dust, I'll head back to the palace first."

  "Good day, you see off Princess Chang."

  "Yes, Your Highness."

  "What you're asking for, I'm afraid I cannot grant."

  "If she came in person to ask for it, would Dusty still be unwilling to give it to her?" Si Tu Luo Lan let out a light sigh, fearing that this time he really wouldn't be able to fulfill his promise.

  "I gave her a chance, but she didn't know how to restrain herself and treasure it. She crossed the line with me, now she should be clear about what price she has to pay."

  "Because of her heart's obsession."

  "This is the first time I'm giving her a chance to change, this time it's because of the prince, next time I won't mind taking care of her myself."

  Yi Xin's disappearance once made him realize that he didn't know when she had become his Achilles' heel.

  If you touch it, it will be lost.
