You's originally fair and handsome face was now a yellowish-brown, like a face haphazardly sculpted from mud. Although I already knew You's original form in this life, I was still quite surprised to see it for the first time.
"You saw it?" There was a hint of barely perceptible tension in his indifferent voice.
I cautiously hummed in response. Through the layer of white mist, I couldn't clearly see You's expression; I could only make out a rough outline.
"Isn't it disgusting?" You gave a self-deprecating bitter laugh.
"No." I shook my head, but I didn't make up any lies and praise You for looking good now. I knew You always cared about her appearance. "You, even though you're not good-looking now, I will never allow you to say that you're disgusting."
"Don't try to comfort me. I know how pathetic I am right now."
"Whose original form in our Heavenly Court is the most beautiful?" I asked, seeing that You was still not in high spirits and changed the subject. "Look at me now, I'm petite and exquisite, with a shapely figure, bright eyes and white teeth. But when I transformed into a dragon, wasn't I big and clumsy, covered in stiff scales, without even hands and feet?"
You chuckled softly, "I've long heard that the Nine Heavens Empress Xin's original form was a golden dragon, especially her pair of dragon horns, which are extremely rare in the world. Unfortunately, I've never seen one."
I tilted my head and smiled, "Would you like to see it?" The original owner loathed her demonic dragon form and never showed it to anyone. I only used it once.
"I want to," You said with a smile.
"When you're better, I'll show you, and I can take you everywhere."
"You, don't feel inferior about your demon form anymore. Is appearance really that important to us? Even those with a little cultivation can transform themselves into a peerless beauty. There are many other things worth pursuing than appearance."
Has anyone ever told you that your comforting skills are really bad?
"I've never comforted anyone before." I tried to comfort You, but she actually criticized me for not knowing how to comfort people. That's so unfair. I should have just left it at that.
"Is this the first time you've comforted someone? I'm truly honored."
"Hmph, good to know." I wanted to reach out and pinch You, but I was afraid of touching her wound. "You, does your injury hurt a lot?"
"It's alright."
I held You's hand tightly with one hand the whole time, looking at her with concern, but unfortunately, my view was constantly blocked by the hateful white mist.
After an unknown amount of time, the thick white fog gradually dissipated, revealing a fair and handsome face. His usually clean and neat black hair was now wet and sticky, with a few strands clinging to his face.
I gently tucked the strands of hair that were stuck to You's face behind his ear. "Are you alright? Can you get up?" I couldn't see him just now and didn't know how badly he was injured, but now that the white mist had dissipated, You was completely exposed in front of me.
You must have used the magic power she had just recovered to maintain her dignity. Although there was no blood on her body and her clothes were clean, she was soaking wet as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
You shook her head wearily. "I need to rest for a while. Don't worry, I won't die."
Looking at You's weak appearance, tears welled up in my eyes again. "Why didn't you run with me? If we had run together, you wouldn't be injured like this."
"If we run together, no one can escape." You reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes.
