Sheng Ran transmigrated to the beast world, becoming a universally despised 'evil female'. The original owner, consumed by jealousy for her century-rare 'Saint Female' sister, poiso...
Chapter 172: So Sheng Ran is also a time traveler?!
The woman's gaze was pure and her tone was sincere. In fact, she was really just concerned about Sheng Jieyue's eyes, without any sarcasm in her eyes.
But to Sheng Jieyue's ears, it sounded like naked sarcasm.
"How dare you!" Sheng Jieyue widened her eyes in anger, cursing the ignorance of these fools countless times in her heart.
They have such bad eyesight, they actually call an ugly thing a fairy?
Let’s eat something good!
She also had to maintain her image as a saint, so she could only feign patience and even soften her voice.
"Do you know what you're talking about? This is my sister, Sheng Ran. Everyone in Central City knows she's an exiled, useless woman. Her face is covered in scars from her youth. She's so ugly she's unbearable to be seen. How could she be the fairy you're talking about?"
She paused deliberately, glanced at the onlookers, and there was a subtle contempt in her eyes.
These poor people have always placed the most importance on appearance. If anyone says Sheng Ran is ugly, they will immediately turn their backs on her.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by an old man holding a bowl of medicine.
The old man coughed twice, his voice hoarse but firm.
"My Lady Saint, you must have mistaken me. We've seen Miss Sheng's veil more than once. Last week, when she was feeding my old woman medicine, she bent down too quickly and a small part of the veil slipped off. I saw it clearly. Her skin is as white as fine porcelain. How could there be any scars?"
"Yes!" A girl with a ponytail next to her nodded quickly, still holding the herbal medicine bag that Sheng Ran gave her yesterday.
"And there's a patch of blue cloth on Miss Sheng's cuff. It got torn when she was sewing my clothes last time. She always says it's still wearable and doesn't need to be changed. Can you tell me this detail?"
Sheng Jieyue's smile froze, but she forced herself to say, "Patches? She's just pretending to be poor! Before she was exiled, she wore silk and satin. How could she wear patched clothes? She must have hired someone to impersonate her!"
"Impersonation?" A young orc couldn't help but laugh. His condition had just improved thanks to Sheng Ran's medicine. His voice was weak, but his eyes were clear. "We don't know anything about exiling the evil woman. We only know that Miss Sheng is kind-hearted. After learning about the suffering of the people in the west of the city, she never thought of giving up on us! We believe what we see with our own eyes! She is the fairy in our minds, there is no mistake!"
"And her cloth boots!" another civilian shouted. "The toe of her shoe is worn out. Last time it rained, she stepped in the mud. I reminded her to be careful, but she smiled and said, 'It's okay, these shoes are durable.' Tell me, how can an imposter know so much about his own shoes?"
The people echoed her opinion in a flurry. Some said they remembered she always blinked slightly when she spoke, and some said they recognized a small notch on the medicine mortar she carried with her.
Every detail makes Sheng Jieyue seem like an outsider who fabricated facts out of thin air.
Sheng Jieyue's face turned red and white. She couldn't understand why these "lowly" people would observe an exiled useless woman so carefully.
She was about to find another excuse when a gust of cold wind suddenly blew through the medical tent, picking up the grass debris on the ground and blowing straight into Sheng Ran's face - it was Situ Yu's wind ability!
"Ayu!" Sheng Jieyue called out subconsciously, and a hint of anticipation arose in her heart.
She wanted to see if these people would immediately change their expressions when Sheng Ran took off her veil.
Situ Yu stood behind the guards, his silver robe rustling in the wind, his fingertips glowing with a pale white sheen of wind-related abilities, and a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Why waste your time arguing with these fools? Pull off her veil and let them see the true face of this fairy!"
He had long disliked Sheng Ran, and she had been publicly refuted in Liuli Palace before. Now was the perfect opportunity to embarrass her.
Seeing this, Yun Ling immediately moved sideways to block Sheng Ran.
No one dared to use wind-based abilities in front of him. Situ Yu was simply courting death.
When two powerful superpowers clashed, the surrounding environment suffered greatly.
In addition, Yun Ling's goal was to protect Sheng Ran from being harmed, while Situ Yu only intended to lift the veil of Sheng Ran, which inevitably gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The strong wind came fast and hard, carrying the unique viciousness of a snake beast, and it still tore off his target.
The veil fluttered down to the ground, and the area around the medical tent instantly became quiet. Even the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grass could be clearly heard.
The sunlight filtered through the gap in the medical tent and fell on Sheng Ran's face.
Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes are like new willow buds in spring, her nose is straight, her lips are light pink, and her skin is so delicate that it seems like water can be squeezed out of it. Not to mention scars, there is not even a blemish.
Those eyes were even clearer, and they looked at the people with genuine concern, which was a hundred times more moving than Sheng Jieyue's carefully applied makeup.
"Oh my God...this is so beautiful!" The girl with a ponytail covered her mouth, her eyes full of amazement.
"What did I say! Miss Sheng is a fairy from heaven!" The old man waved his fist excitedly and almost knocked over the bowl of medicine in his hand.
Even several critically ill patients who had just been carried into the medical tent could not help but open their eyes wide and forget the pain in their bodies.
Sheng Jieyue dug her nails deep into her palms, causing her fingertips to go numb with pain, and jealousy wrapped around her heart like poison ivy.
She applied expensive nectar to her face every day and took good care of her skin, but it was not as good as that of a useless woman who was exposed to the wind and sun during exile!
But she couldn't lose her composure, so she could only force a gentle smile, but her tone was very stiff: "It's just some superficial skills. If you have a vicious heart, what's the point of having a beautiful appearance?"
At this moment, Situ Yu's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, as if he had seen a ghost, and he staggered back a step.
He bumped heavily into the guard behind him, his voice trembling: "No... Impossible..."
Sheng Jieyue frowned and looked at him in confusion, with a hint of sourness in her tone.
"Ayu, what's wrong with you? Are you really stunned by her appearance?"
She thought Situ Yu was attracted by Sheng Ran's face and was holding her breath, but she didn't notice the fear surging in Situ Yu's eyes.
Situ Yu rushed forward and grabbed Sheng Jieyue's wrist, his knuckles turning white, almost crushing her bones.
He leaned close to Sheng Jieyue's ear, lowering his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it, and it was filled with deep panic.
"It's her... that woman from my previous life! We killed her in that car accident with our own hands, then chopped her body into pieces and dumped it in the wilderness!"
Sheng Jieyue's pupils suddenly contracted, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze instantly, and fragments of memories from her past life suddenly flooded into her mind.
They had clearly seen with their own eyes that body die, and its body was so badly damaged that no skin or flesh was left. How could... how could it appear here again?
How could she possibly reappear in the strange world of beasts and replace the identity of this useless female?
No wonder this useless woman has changed so much, even the beastly husband beside her has fallen in love with her again!
So this person called Sheng Ran is also a time traveler?!
How could she, a mere cannon fodder, be reborn in another world?!
Are they still the protagonists of this world? !
