Chapter 106 You Need to Give Up Your Appearance
Wen Ling weighed the silver note in his hand. It was very light and wrinkled. It must have been kept close to him all along. It was indeed the most important thing to him.
Qing Ruxu saw Wen Ling take the banknote, cover the wound on his neck and prepare to run away.
"Wait a moment." Wen Ling called him again.
Qing Ruxu stopped immediately and asked softly, "Princess, do you have any other instructions? Don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"
Wen Ling looked at him for a long while, the look in his eyes was gloomy and unclear, and finally he sighed: "Forget it, since I have already helped you, I will be a good person to the end and help you one more time."
"What...what?" Qing Ruxu was a little unable to react for a moment.
Wen Ling said directly: "I know that you have a deep hatred for me. Your appearance is your only trump card. You want to use your appearance to maximize your benefits. This is why you are in trouble today.
You must remember that if you want to achieve your goals and do what you want to do, you should use your brain instead of your appearance.
Appearance combined with family background, wisdom and ability are all trump cards, but beauty alone is a dead card.
If you don't change your previous behavior, even if you don't die in the future, the abyss is waiting for you.
Your parents must have had their reasons for naming you Qing Ruxu. ”
After Qing Ruxu heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
He felt that Princess Chen's overly clear eyes seemed to have the power to see through people's hearts, and they easily saw through him completely.
All the dirty things he had done and the filthiest thoughts in his heart were clearly visible.
Qing Ruxu just felt very ashamed, so ashamed that her whole body was shaking.
I don’t know why, but he doesn’t care what others think of him. He doesn’t care if everyone in the world despises him.
But he just wanted to save a bit of face in front of the Princess Chen, who had the clearest eyes in the world, and didn't want her to know how despicable he was. But the result was...
Qing Ruxu lowered her head, her whole body trembling, and her androgynous voice trembled uncontrollably: "I'm sorry, Princess. I'm a very despicable person who only knows how to take advantage of beauty. Saving someone like me will dirty your hands..."
Wen Ling frowned: "That's not what I meant. If you think so, then I really saved the wrong person."
"What?" Qing Ruxu was stunned again.
He raised his head and looked at Wen Ling, and found that there was no disgust or discrimination in her overly clean eyes, only full of seriousness and sincerity.
She seemed to be really trying to persuade him seriously, trying to give him pointers so that he would know what to do in the future.
Qing Ruxu's eyes suddenly turned red.
He had only been in this cruel palace for three months.
In just three months, he became a completely different person.
Many times in the middle of the night, he woke up in front of the mirror and didn't recognize himself.
There are intrigues all around him, and everyone who approaches him has a purpose, either because they covet his looks, want to take advantage of his looks, or are simply jealous out of malicious intent.
He was exposed to the other side of this world, the darkest side.
Just when he thought that he would be swallowed up by this dark world, that he would rot and stink here, and die here, even if he did not die, he would become a part of the darkness, an existence even darker than the darkness, and destroy the darkness with his deeper darkness.
Wen Ling, who appeared with a fire starter, was like a light that tore through all the darkness around him.
She gave him serious advice, telling him that being beautiful alone would lead to a dead end, and that he should use his brain and wisdom more.
Is this sentence also reminding him not to rely on his looks to take shortcuts, but to be more down-to-earth?
Qing Ruxu stared at Wen Ling blankly. He opened his mouth several times and finally laughed at himself: "Princess, I understand your meaning and your painstaking efforts, but my face is too ostentatious. Everyone will only see my face first, and then they will not care what I think or do.
Some people would even say that how can such a good-looking person have any brains, so even if the slave wants to do what you say, he is powerless.
Perhaps this is the fate of a slave like me..."
Well, how should I put it, maybe Qing Ruxu is really troubled by why he looks so handsome, and is troubled by his appearance.
But to other people who are not good-looking, his words may be seen as a disguised form of showing off, which is what the old saying "Versailles" means.
No wonder Qing Ruxu suffered such great hostility. Who wouldn't feel angry after hearing this?
Fortunately, Wen Ling doesn't rely on her looks to make a living, otherwise she would have to punch Qing Ruxu too.
She asked again, "Are you willing to give up your appearance completely? I can help you do that. Well, I won't disfigure you, but I can use some magic to make your appearance look blurry. People may recognize you when they see you, but they will forget what you look like when they turn around and just think you have an ordinary face."
Qing Ruxu: "...Ah?! There is such a technique?"
If Wen Ling hadn't looked so serious, he would have really thought that Wen Ling was joking.
Wen Ling nodded: "Yes, are you willing to try it? The effect is one year, and the spell will become ineffective after one year."
Qing Ruxu asked in disbelief: "You didn't lie to me? You are not kidding me, are you?"
Wen Ling smiled: "I never lie."
Qing Ruxu lowered his head and thought for a while. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of determination: "Okay, I accept the princess's suggestion. Please use magic on me!"
Wen Ling raised his eyebrows again. This person was quite interesting as he could give up his greatest advantage so decisively.
Qing Ruxu closed his eyes nervously, waiting for Wen Ling to use magic on him.
Unexpectedly, after a cool breeze blew across my face, I heard Wen Ling say, "Okay."
Qing Ruxu opened his eyes again and subconsciously touched his face, but didn't feel any difference.
He whispered, "Is this... all right?"
Just at this moment, two eunuchs who looked very skilled came over here holding torches.
Qing Ruxu's expression suddenly changed: "They are here to find me. They really want to kill me!"
The two eunuchs saw the commotion here, looked at each other, and then rushed over here with murderous eyes.
