The door was pushed open, and a figure walked in. Qing'er didn't see anyone coming, but her body trembled violently.
The figure approached Qing'er, and Feng Huaxian appeared in her field of vision. She smiled and said to her, "Are you feeling better, Qing'er?"
Upon hearing her voice, Qing'er trembled all over and dared not look up at Feng Huaxian.
"What? Little sister, don't you remember my voice? Look at your older sister's face, and you'll remember who I am..." Feng Huaxian chuckled.
Qing'er slowly raised her head to look at Feng Huaxian. The peony on her face made her feel as if she had fallen into an abyss. She stared wide-eyed in great horror as the terrible scene in her memory came back to her: the woman wearing the peony mask took boiling water and splashed it directly on her face.
"Yes, it was you...it was you who ruined my face, it was you!" Qing'er swallowed hard, her voice trembling as she pointed at Qing'er.
Feng Huaxian sat down beside Qing'er with a smile, took her hand, and said with a chuckle, "It's good that you remember me, little sister. It wasn't for nothing that I specially boiled a pot of boiling water for you to express my warm heart!"
"You, you... what are you going to do? You've already ruined my face, what else do you want to do!" Qing'er roared angrily, tears streaming down her face. "Guards! Catch the murderer! Catch the murderer!"
"Hehe, why are you shouting so loudly, little sister? Do you think anyone still cares about an ugly monster like you?" Feng Huaxian's lips curled up. "I can also tell you, no one will come to save you even if you shout until you're hoarse!"
Feng Huaxian stood up and spun around, saying, "I've set up a restriction on this room. Your voice can't be heard. Even if I kill you now, no one will know!"
Hearing Feng Huaxian's words, Qing'er shrank back in fear, "No, no, don't come any closer..."
Seeing Qing'er's terrified expression, Feng Huaxian couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Little sister, why are you so frightened? I've come here to comfort you!"
As she spoke, she took out the medicine bottle left by Gu Changyuan and poured out the only pill inside. "Look at this. This is medicine that Changyuan specially brought for you. He said it can restore your former beauty!"
Hearing her words, Qing'er's eyes lit up. "Restore my beauty? Give it to me! Give me the medicine now!" Qing'er said, trying to snatch it from Feng Huaxian's hands.
Feng Huaxian laughed and dodged Qing'er's hand. "Give it to you? So you can regain your beauty and continue to mock me, and dominate the position of the number one courtesan? Hmph, you wish!"
Feng Huaxian snorted coldly and pulled Qing'er to the ground. Before Qing'er could complain of the pain, she grabbed Feng Huaxian's skirt and pleaded, "Please give me the medicine and let me regain my beauty! I don't want to be an ugly monster! Please..."
Seeing Qing'er's pleading expression, Feng Huaxian sneered, "If you don't want to be an ugly monster, who does?"
Looking at the pills in her hand, Feng Huaxian squinted and sighed, "I don't want to be an ugly monster either!"
Seeing that Feng Huaxian was eyeing the elixir, Qing'er suddenly flew into a rage and pounced on him, shouting, "This was given to me by Changyuan, not to you, you ugly monster! Give it to me right now!"
Feng Huaxian dodged Qing'er, then flew into a rage, pointing at Qing'er and shouting, "You bitch, say that again if you dare!"
Qing'er trembled with fear. "I, I..."
Feng Huaxian picked up the dressing mirror beside her, squatted down, grabbed Qing'er's hair, and yelled, "You bitch, look at my face, and then look at your face! Do you think you're prettier than me now? Who's the ugly one here?!"
Qing'er looked up and saw herself in the mirror, then screamed in terror, "Ah...no! Take it away! That's not me, that's not me!"
Feng Huaxian pushed Qing'er away and coldly said, "Hmph, do you think you're so beautiful and kind? You're nothing but a prostitute! Lowly is your only synonym! Your face now reflects your true identity!"
Feng Huaxian threw the mirror in front of Qing'er and said, "If you have any self-awareness, you should finish what you haven't done today!"
Qing'er stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror, then collapsed to the ground. "This isn't me, this isn't me! I can, I can't be this ugly... Medicine, medicine! Give me medicine—"
Qing'er lunged at Feng Huaxian, trying to snatch the pills, but Feng Huaxian seemed to have been prepared and pushed her to the ground. "Hmph, you overestimating yourself, trying to take food from me?"
Feng Huaxian swallowed the pill in her hand in one gulp, then spread her hands towards Qing'er, "Alright, that means you have no chance to become beautiful! Accept your fate!"
"No—" Qing'er cried out in anguish and then fainted.
Feng Huaxian snorted coldly, flipped her hand, and a red spell landed on Qing'er. Then she turned around, left, and closed the door.
Just as he reached his door, he saw Hua Gu going upstairs.
Upon seeing Feng Huaxian, Hua Gu assumed she had just come out and asked, "Hua'er, why aren't you with Changyuan?"
"Oh! I know, that guy ran away again, didn't he?" Hua Gu said irritably. "That brat! He always treats me like a tigress and avoids me!"
She's not a tigress, she's a miser!
Feng Huaxian chuckled, "Hua Gu, you know Changyuan's temperament well. He told me that his family specifically asked him to go back, and you couldn't stop him even if you tried!"
"Sigh, when I saw his clothes and demeanor today, I knew he was different from us. He seemed so superior," Hua Gu sighed. "Honestly, the first time I saw him sitting at the door begging, I felt genuine sympathy. But thinking about how he showed off today, it really makes this old man blush!"
Feng Huaxian smiled and said, "People always change."
Hua Gu sighed, "Yes. Sigh, I don't know what we've done to deserve this bad luck these past few days, and now Qing'er is like this... sigh, really..."
