Chapter 131: One hundred thirty-one, solve Chapter 131: One hundred thirty-one, solve “It’s true, I’ll show you an old photo of mine,” Mo Xiaoqiao took out her phone and found an old makeup-free photo of herself. That day, she had shown everyone a photo enhanced by beauty filters, but even with the editing, you could still make out some faint spots on her cheeks.
She handed the photo to the crowd. “This is an old photo of me.”
People stepped forward and saw that Mo Xiaoqiao’s skin indeed wasn’t as good as it is now, particularly the conspicuous spots on her cheeks.
Some compared with the photos they had taken of her that day.
“Are you wearing foundation now?” A young woman about the same age as Mo Xiaoqiao approached her and examined her face closely. It was hard for her to believe that there could be such a huge change in three days, especially with the disappearance of all the spots.
Mo Xiaoqiao shook her head, “I haven’t put anything on today.” If it had been before, she would never have gone out without makeup, but now she was completely confident in her skin and could go out bare-faced.
“I don’t believe it unless you prove it to me,” the young woman said skeptically.
“I have makeup remover wipes here,” Liu Shanyue took out a wipe from her drawer. Not to mention their disbelief; she herself couldn’t believe such a drastic change could happen in three days. Not only was the red swollen allergy completely healed, but her skin was also better than before. Ever since she ate the Beauty Pill Xiao Ning gave her, her skin had improved and her sleep was better than before. Even though she had been stressed about the company these past few days, it hadn’t affected her sleep.
Mo Xiaoqiao walked forward, took the makeup remover wipe from Liu Shanyue’s hand, and was about to use it.
“Wait, use mine,” someone took out a bottle of makeup remover from her bag and handed it to Mo Xiaoqiao. She was worried that Mo Xiaoqiao and Liu Shanyue might be conspiring to trick them.
Mo Xiaoqiao smiled and took the offered makeup remover, “Do you have a cotton pad?” She wasn’t wearing makeup in the first place, so it didn’t matter what she used.
“Yes,” the woman took out a packet of cotton pads from her bag and gave them to Mo Xiaoqiao.
Mo Xiaoqiao took the cotton pads, pulled out two, poured the makeup remover onto them, and started wiping her face.
Everyone was watching her every move with wide eyes.
Mo Xiaoqiao rubbed hard a few times, causing her skin to redden before she stopped and showed the cotton pads to the crowd.
The woman who had provided the makeup remover took the cotton pads and looked at them closely, passing them around in disbelief.
“There’s really nothing on it.”
Even after seeing the results, many people still couldn’t believe it.
Liu Shanyue stood up and addressed everyone, “You’ve all seen the results, right? I have the medicine that treated the young lady’s face that day. If you trust it, come and get some.” If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed Xiao Ning’s medicine was so effective. She felt even more confident about the prospects of the new product she was collaborating on with Xiao Ning.
At these words, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they hurried to Liu Shanyue’s desk.
“Don’t rush, one at a time, there’s enough for everyone,” Liu Shanyue took out a form, placed it on the desk, “Please, those who take the ointment, leave your name and contact details on the form. We’ll call in a couple of days to ask about the results.” Xiao Ning really did her a big favor this time.
Liu Shanyue sighed internally, thinking of Yang Xin’er. Such a good child others couldn’t even beg for, and yet her own mother didn’t cherish her.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen talked about recent events, and she learned that his mother’s company matters had been resolved smoothly.
“Xiao Ning, I meant what I said the other day,” Qin Yushen smiled cheerfully. His mood always improved whenever he spoke with Xiao Ning.
“What did you say?” Song Yan Ning asked, puzzled. Qin Yushen had said so many things to her, how could she know which one he was referring to?
“I can only repay you with my body,” Qin Yushen’s smile deepened, his eyes filled with sincerity. Although Xiao Ning couldn’t see him, his words were serious.
He was not a fickle man, nor was he one to flatter girls. He had spent tens of thousands of years in the Immortal World, encountered countless female cultivators, many of whom had expressed their feelings for him, yet his heart had never fluttered for anyone. It was as if it was always searching for something.
It was not until he met Xiao Ning that he realized she was the one his heart had been looking for. He didn’t know if something had happened between him and Xiao Ning before, but the moment he met her, he felt his heart was complete. That’s why he shamelessly got closer to her, wanting to understand her more because she was the only one who could resonate with his soul in this world.
Song Yan Ning felt her face warm up slightly, “I’m tired, I won’t talk to you anymore.” That guy always teased her with his words, and she found it hard to resist.
Qin Yushen chuckled, “Not going into the Emperor Realm tonight?” He hadn’t seen her for several days.
“I’ve been a little busy lately, I’ll go after I finish what I’m doing.” There were only three more restrictions left on that brush, and if nothing went wrong, she should be able to refine it completely tonight.
“All right, then you get busy. I’ll call you tomorrow. Goodnight!” Qin Yushen said with a light smile. If Xiao Ning was not entering the system, he didn’t plan to either and would practice outside for the next few days.
“Goodnight!” Song Yan Ning hung up the phone, took out the brush, and closed her eyes to continue refining.
The night deepened, and after successfully refining two of the restrictions, Song Yan Ning began refining the last restriction.
Not long after, she heard a faint “crack!”.
Her heart thrilled. She was finally about to succeed.
Just then, a tremendous suction force came her way, and feeling it, Song Yan Ning was shocked and tried to withdraw her Inner Strength immediately.
But it was already too late. The suction continuously drew her Inner Strength inexorably into it.
Feeling her Inner Strength about to be depleted, excruciating pain spread throughout her body, yet the suction didn’t lessen. Song Yan Ning felt a wave of sorrow. Was she going to die like this? No, she couldn’t die this way, she hadn’t returned to the Demon Clan, hadn’t avenged her parents, hadn’t taken back what was hers, her mission was not yet complete.
With this in mind, she desperately searched her heritage for a solution.
As her strength rapidly drained, Song Yan Ning felt herself growing weaker and on the verge of fainting, but she fought to stay conscious, knowing that if she passed out, she might never wake up again.
