Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Beautiful Ugly Girl_1
A night of busyness, followed by a day of deep sleep.
When they woke up, both Qin Sisi and Ye You felt their stomachs rumbling with hunger.
Qin Sisi went into the kitchen and prepared a hearty meal (considering the time, it could be called dinner), and the two ate to their heart’s content at the table, finally satisfying their hunger.
After getting enough sleep and food, Qin Sisi didn’t want to idle away. She had Ye You create a magical barrier for her to practice her magic.
Ye You on the other hand, focused his mind in his portable space to concoct pills.
Each being busy with their own tasks, they seemed to work in harmony.
Five hours later, Ye You successfully concocted a batch of pills. At the same time, Qin Sisi, drenched in sweat, finished her magic practice.
The two sat down on the sofa to rest and discuss their next move, when a sound of tapping glass came from the window.
Qin Sisi and Ye You exchanged glances, got up and walked to the window. Through the transparent glass, she saw the figure of Pei Pei. Behind Pei Pei, there was another person, but the light outside was dim, and they couldn’t see the person’s face.
Qin Sisi had faith in Pei Pei, so she opened the window, allowing Pei Pei and the person she brought to enter the room.
The stranger behind Pei Pei floated past Qin Sisi’s eyes, slim and light, apparently looked to be a young girl.
Due to the proximity, Qin Sisi could clearly feel a cold aura from her body. So she was also a ghost, just like Pei Pei.
The room was well lit, and Qin Sisi got a clear look at the girl who followed behind Pei Pei.
About fifteen or sixteen years old, she was slender, but her outside features, how should she put it, were a bit ugly.
A wide, jutting chin, thick lips, a flat nose, single-eyelids and small eyes.
Most importantly, her face was covered in little freckles that looked like a swarm of light-coloured ants crawling on her face.
Qin Sisi didn’t understand why Pei Pei would bring a strange ghost here, so she looked at her questioningly and asked, "What’s going on?"
Pei Pei looked at the ugly girl next to her and vaguely responded, "Xiao Mo is my friend. She heard from me that you can help ghosts fulfill their wishes, so she begged me to bring her to see you, hoping that you could help."
So this ugly girl’s name was Xiao Mo.
Qin Sisi was a little excited in her heart, she didn’t expect a ghost to seek her out by herself, so she and Ye You wouldn’t have to go to the trouble of looking for them.
She took a deep look at Xiao Mo, Pei Pei’s meaning was clear, this girl needed help.
Qin Sisi thought for a while, then asked Pei Pei, "Are you and Lan Di still doing well?"
Pei Pei forced a smile and responded a bit nervously, "Very good, he treats me well."
While she spoke, Pei Pei glanced at Xiao Mo as if unintentionally.
Qin Sisi saw Pei Pei’s hesitation and realized she wouldn’t want others to know about her plans of giving Lan Di the love potion, so she graciously dropped the topic.
She turned to Xiao Mo and asked, "Your name is Xiao Mo, right?"
Xiao Mo nodded her head but didn’t say anything. Her eyes were very wary, as if she didn’t trust anyone.
Qin Sisi decided not to delve into these details for now, she continued to ask, "Do you know what it would cost to receive my help?"
Xiao Mo nodded again and replied emotionlessly, "I understand. Pei Pei explained everything to me. As long as you can help me get revenge, I am willing to offer you my soul power."
A very straightforward ghost. Qin Sisi said contentedly, "Then let’s sit down and talk."
As Qin Sisi was leading Xiao Mo to the couch, Pei Pei suddenly said, "Now that you’ve met, I’ll leave you two to talk. I won’t be involved, I’ll be heading back."
Xiao Mo looked at Pei Pei, her tone softened a lot, "Thank you, Pei Pei."
Pei Pei gave Xiao Mo’s shoulder a pat, speaking like a big sister, "Don’t be so formal with me. I hope you can get what you wish for. I’m afraid we won’t see each other again in the future, so take care."
Xiao Mo’s eyes turned red, but she forced herself to smile, "After being a ghost for so many years, why should we feel melancholy about the change of seasons? Everywhere in the world can be a meeting place. If we are destined, we will surely meet again in the wheel of reincarnation."
Similarly, if one persists, those hidden sins will also eventually be punished.
Pei Pei laughed and said, "You certainly have a positive outlook. Well then, I’m off, goodbye."
The two girls waved at each other, one stayed in Qin Sisi’s room, and the other floated towards the window, quickly disappearing into the vast night.
After seeing off Pei Pei, Qin Sisi and Xiao Mo sat down on the couch together. Ye You lay in the corner on Qin Sisi’s side. He seemed indifferent, but he was closely observing Xiao Mo’s every move and listening to her every word.
Qin Sisi looked at Xiao Mo’s somewhat ugly face and softly said, "Tell me your story."
Xiao Mo met Qin Sisi’s eyes and asked in her monotonous voice, "Do you think I’m pretty?"
Qin Sisi was stunned, she was at a loss for words. She didn’t want to tell an obvious lie, but she couldn’t just outright say "You’re very ugly", could she?
Xiao Mo seemed to have anticipated Qin Sisi’s reaction. She sighed heavily, her face filled with a bitter expression and said in a low voice, "Actually, I used to be a very beautiful girl. Ever since I was a kid, everyone has said that I am beautiful."
Qin Sisi had a puzzled expression, because no matter how she looked, Xiao Mo’s face couldn’t be described as beautiful.
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there may be one or two people who think she’s beautiful, but if everyone says it, it becomes hard to comprehend.
Xiao Mo saw Qin Sisi’s confusion and continued, "I know I’m ugly now, because this face...it isn’t mine."
Qin Sisi was taken aback,she stared at Xiao Mo’s face. What did she mean by "this face isn’t mine"?
Even Ye You found it unbelievable. His purple eyes flickered and stayed on Xiao Mo’s face for a few seconds.
Knowing that her plight was hard to believe, Xiao Mo sighed helplessly and decided to start from the beginning, "My last name is Tang, my full name is Tang Xiaomo."
Qin Sisi raised an eyebrow slightly, "Are you an orphan?"
She knew a lot of children who grew up in orphanages had the surname Tang, to express their gratitude to the nation.
Tang Xiaomo nodded her head, confirming her guess, then she continued in melancholic tone, "I was born with a heart defect and was abandoned by the door of an orphanage as soon as I was born. When I was five, I had heart surgery using money donated by kind-hearted people. Although the surgery was successful, the follow-up care required a lot of money.
A lot of families wanted to adopt me because of my pretty and cute appearance, but they all gave up because of financial issues. So, I lived in the orphanage."
