Chapter 11: A Makeover



Jiangxi canceled the "invisible only to oneself" function of the Bodhi Heart Grass.

Jiang's mother and father stared in amazement at the palm of Jiang Xi's left hand. A green grass appeared out of thin air, with a white jade stem and emerald leaves. It was only the size of a thumb, but it was connected to the flesh and blood of the palm, fitting perfectly.

Mother Jiang touched it tentatively: "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Xi shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."

What they saw almost overturned Jiang's father and mother's entire outlook on life. Growing up under the red flag, they had the most steadfast materialistic values, did not believe in gods and Buddhas, and were convinced that all ghosts and monsters were feudal superstitions. But then something as mysterious as the Bodhi Heart Grass appeared...

When Jiang's father reached out his hand, Xiaoqian's mind jumped: "Men are disgusting and dirty clay things, dirty! Don't touch Ah Xin!"

Jiang Xi's eyes turned cold.

The Bodhi Heart Grass seemed to sense the low pressure coming from its host, and it stretched out its leaves aggrievedly, touched Jiang's father, and then pulled them back like lightning.

Jiang's mother's focus was elsewhere, "So Xixi...what kind of popularity do you need to use to grow this grass? What if, I mean what if," Jiang's mother stammered, and finally did not dare to say it out loud.

When a magical object appears, children often take it for granted that they are the center of the world and that all magical objects in the world belong to them and serve them. Adults, however, are more realistic and consider more; they don't believe in miracles.

As people get older, the weight of adventure and curiosity in their blood becomes lighter and lighter, while cowardice and reality become heavier and heavier.

Jiang's mother had to consider for Jiang Xi, what if this grass was an evil thing?

The Bodhi Heart Grass took root in Xixi's palm. If it continues to grow, its roots will spread to the blood throughout the body. At that time, will Xixi become the nutrient of this grass, or will the two of them become twins?

Jiang's mother is not a child, she is just a mother.

Like millions of other mothers in the world, she is willing to overcome all difficulties and risk her life for her children.

"Yes, or why don't you ask this grass if it is willing to be transplanted to the palm of its mother's hand?" Jiang's mother asked tentatively, but was directly rejected by Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi is not a real high school student, so he naturally understands Jiang's mother's concerns.

But her life was given away in vain. It was a blessing in disguise that her parents were safe and sound now. As for the future, who could guarantee it?

"Mom, the Bodhi Heart Grass said you're not suitable." Jiang Xi made up a story, "It said I was the reincarnation of a good person for ten lifetimes, so I should receive the reward in this life."

Xiaoqian was quiet this time and didn't make any trouble in his mind.

Having witnessed all the strange things with his own eyes, Jiang's father quickly accepted this explanation. Even Jiang's mother herself was more willing to accept it. "Now, Xixi, how much time do you have?"

Jiang Xi said hesitantly, "A year... maybe."

This time, Xiao Qian jumped out and hesitated for a long time before forming a line of Chinese characters: "The marrow cleansing fluid successfully cleansed the marrow, but it took the host three hundred days."

"W-what?!"

Jiang Xi jumped up suddenly.

Three hundred days?

Subtracting yesterday, there are only fifty-eight days left?!

It's such a fucking rip-off.

Jiang's mother was now frightened and asked hurriedly, "Xixi, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xi subconsciously gave a soothing smile, "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that it's not a good idea for my daughter to continue living at her uncle's house given her current condition."

"Yes, yes, Xixi's concerns are reasonable." Father Jiang nodded in agreement. "Before, I wanted to slowly explore. It is indeed uninhabitable there. If a little time has passed, it can be said that Xixi has grown up. But they all saw what Xixi looked like yesterday."

Jiang's mother already had a plan in mind, so the family split into two groups. Jiang's mother took Jiang Xi to get a makeover, while Jiang's father continued to run around the rental agency, trying to find the most suitable rental house.

"Girl, are you really going to cut it?"

The barber looked at Jiang Xi's long, straight black hair with pity. He had been a barber for many years, but this was the first time he had seen hair like this. It was as black as thick ink. When he put a comb on it, it could be straightened to the ends in one go. It was good enough for a shampoo commercial.

"Cut it all." Jiang's mother gestured behind Jiang Xi's ear, "Cut it all here, trim my bangs evenly too."

The customer is God.

No matter how sorry the barber was, he had to take the customer's wishes into consideration. "Sister, we'll charge you a hundred bucks for the cut hair. Is that okay?"

This price is already far beyond the market price.

Jiang's mother was delighted and waved her hand, "Okay."

The long hair was cut to ear level with one pair of scissors, and the bangs on the forehead were cut into a watermelon-Taro style. While the barber, surnamed Sun, was cutting, he was thinking: What good hair! It must have been taken care of so carefully that there is not a single split end. He just cut it as he said.

"alright."

The hairdresser blew on the hair and put away his tools. He had to say that this girl had really good hair. Even with such a bad hairstyle, her eyebrows and eyes were still lively and her skin was dazzlingly white. If you looked closely, you couldn't find any flaws at all.

Jiang's mother looked left and right but was still not satisfied. "Master, your hair looks so good. Can you cut it a little uglier?"

"Hey, you..."

The hairdresser was speechless and said angrily, "Sister, why don't you try this haircut on someone else? How can your daughter look ugly with such a face?"

The truth is, even with this kind of foundation, you can still be the best in the world by shaving your head.

"Mom, forget it, let's just leave it at that." Jiang Xi patted the loose hair on her body and winked at Master Sun: "Master, I paid eighteen for a haircut and a styling, and you still have to give me eighty-two."

Anyone who saw this little look would be delighted. Master Sun clapped his hands and said, "I feel bad about cutting your hair today, so I won't charge you. I'll give you a hundred yuan in change. Take it, girl."
