Chapter 271 Senior Sister’s True Appearance (6k)
The morning sun shone through the window lattice, falling on Wangshu’s almost perfect face, giving off a faint glow.
The face is like being carved by moonlight, soft yet sharp; the eyebrows are like willow leaves, the charming eyes are slightly hooked, seducing people like snakes; the bridge of the nose is straight and delicate, the tip of the nose is slightly upturned; the lips are soft The plump, color-like first-ripe cherries seem to hide the secret of spring, making people want to find out.
This is a face that can definitely make men all over the world go crazy. It is almost a work of art that combines the beauty of the world into one.
Wang Shu stroked his face in the mirror, but suddenly felt a little strange to himself.
Is this me?
The impression of myself... still seems to be the face of the Jade Rabbit Mask...
"Fairy Wangshu, you don’t want the Bihua Pavilion that your junior brother just saved... to close down soon. Right?”
The words of Venerable Qianhua still resonated in my ears, and Wang Shu couldn’t help but think of the conversation that day...
“Bihua Pavilion will not collapse, I believe junior brother!”
Wangshu held his pink fist and said very confidently.
The Venerable Qianhua just smiled and shook his head, "You think too simply. Your Bihua Pavilion started by plagiarizing our Qianhua Pavilion, thinking that it can dominate the world with a low-price strategy. But is there any I thought, as long as I, Qianhuage, also reduce costs and prices, what can you, Bihuage, do to compete with us? Even if all the clothes in Qianhuage are discounted, I, Qianhuage, will still make a profit.”
Wang Shu didn't understand this, but he could feel the woman's confidence and full malice towards Bihua Pavilion from her gushing words.
She doesn’t like this Venerable Qianhua.
"The elder asked me to come here to eliminate evil spirits. If there are no evil spirits, I will go back."
As he said this, Fairy Wangshu was about to get up.
"Don't worry, Fairy Wangshu, I have already caught the evil spirit."
As the Venerable Qianhua said, he took out a jade plate with a faint smile.
The jade plate is empty.
Venerable Qianhua turned the jade plate upside down, and another plate fell off. But the moment this plate fell on the tea table, it turned into a tea table again!
If Wang Shu hadn't seen the transformation process, he would have thought it was part of the tea table.
“Can Fairy Wangshu recognize this evil spirit?”
Wangshu shook his head.
“I named it Thousand-faced Spot. It is a very special kind of evil spirit among flesh and blood that does not rely on brute force to kill people. It is ever-changing, and its surface can become anything it wants to be. What's more, after it transforms, there is no trace of evil spirits at all. You must have seen many terrible evil spirits, and you think that many evil spirits are invisible to you, but as long as you cover up its evil spirit, it will be completely invisible. I’m not afraid of being seen by you, because even if I see you, you won’t recognize me. Fairy Wangshu, do you think it’s magical?”
The Venerable Qianhua raised his eyebrows and looked at the masked man with interest. girl.
"It's dangerous." Wang Shu said coldly.
"Yes, it is very dangerous. There was once a man who admired me and became my maid through it, trying to get close to me quietly. He acted flawlessly, but when I punished him The secret was revealed and I discovered it in time.”
“So you have kept it up until now.”
Wang Shu stared at it. She had been associated with evil spirits since she was a child. They are all bad people.
"After I took over it, it has never harmed anyone again. Rather than raising it, it is better to say that I controlled it. Because if it wants to hide, even your boss will You may not be able to find clues even if you come here, Fairy Wangshu, don’t accuse a good person unfairly..."
"You are a bad person."
The Venerable Qianhua laughed and laughed, shaking his head and saying:
"Fairy Wangshu is too naive. Your enemy does not mean that you are a bad person. And I... am not you either. "I'm not an idiot. If you kill it directly, it can't harm anyone. If you keep it, you are a bad person."
Wang Shu has a dignified aura. It is necessary to draw the sword in the next moment.
"What about the head of the Heavenly Arts Department of your evil warding department? Others don't know, but I know that there are a lot of evil spirits around him. Then he is also a bad person, why don't you punish him?"
This sentence made Wang Shuwen's momentum stagnant, and he hesitated:
"The chief elder is using evil spirits to kill evil spirits. It cannot be considered bad or good."
>"Silly boy..." Venerable Qianhua scooped up the thousand-faced spot with the plate again, and it merged with the jade plate. "I kept it and didn't do any bad things, so can't I be considered bad? Even I don’t do bad things, I want to use it to do good things, big good things..."
"What good things?"
Venerable Qianhua looked at Wangshu's jade rabbit mask and said to the clear blue eyes:
"I want to use it to give you a face..."
Wangshu Qing's eyes widened instantly, and the girl's complicated thoughts were all revealed in these blue eyes.
The other party did not mean any harm, she really wanted to give her a face...
But this was a secret that she and her wife had agreed upon, who would know?
Senior Qianhua seemed to have read through the girl’s thoughts and smiled:
“I have seen too many women in Qianhua Pavilion, who doesn’t want his beauty to be seen? People who wear masks occasionally may think that a face that is too beautiful will cause unreasonable disaster; but people who always wear masks always feel that their face cannot be shown to others. Fairy Wangshu, don’t you want to take off this mask?”
Wang Shu stared blankly at himself in the huge mirror behind Venerable Qianhua.
The mask seemed to be welded to her face.
Of course she wanted to take it off, otherwise she wouldn’t have said to her in the Master’s pond: “Master, I want to take it off.”
Master seemed very pleased at the time and encouraged her to "just do it boldly."
But she clearly had never thought there was anything wrong with wearing a mask before. On the contrary, it made her feel very at ease because she was always separated from others by a mask.
What made her change her mind?
Seeing the cakes handed over by her junior brother, she couldn't eat them; she looked at the rouge and gouache given by her junior brother, but she couldn't use them at all; she saw her junior brothers and sisters hiding and touching their mouths, but she couldn't do it... ...
Looking at her junior brother's darkened eyes, she couldn't help but worry. If her junior brother could see it one day, would he also want to know the face under his mask?
"Why do you want to help me?"
This girl who has always had no desires has such a strong desire for the first time, and she inevitably hesitates when facing it.
“A pure heart cannot be deceived, and what I say is from the bottom of my heart.”
The Venerable Qianhua blessed himself a little and bowed, showing enough respect:
"First of all, of course, I want to see Fairy Wangshu's beauty reach its peak. This is my simplest request as a tailor who makes beautiful clothes for women; secondly, of course, I want Fairy Wangshu to be able to follow me in Qianhuage Cooperation. Because of your junior brother’s troubles, my Qianhua Pavilion has been receiving bad reviews recently, but if Fairy Wangshu takes off her mask, she will definitely turn things around for me, Qianhua Pavilion, and even stabilize the country.”
"What about Bihua Pavilion..."
"If Mingren doesn't tell secrets, I can stop making silk stockings and leave this business to them forever, but they must also keep to themselves. This is my concession. "
"But I can't..."
Wang Shu is experiencing the biggest temptation in her life. Although she does not instinctively hate evil, the education she received since childhood told her that those They are all the common enemies of all creatures in the five continents.
“Fairy Wangshu, don’t worry, the evil aura of Thousand Face Spots is very weak, and even after covering it up, the evil apotropaic order can’t detect it... You can’t even tell it’s an evil spirit with the naked eye, and no one will find it. Of..."
With the seduction of Venerable Qianhua, Wangshu felt that he could hear the cracking of the mask on his face. This mask was her defense against the world, and now it was beginning to fall apart.
"Can it really be...successful?"
"Fairy Wangshu, please believe in my craftsmanship. I can use it to make all the faces you want. Think about it and pick it The moment you take off the mask, everyone will be dazzled by your face. Women will envy you, and men will admire you. How beautiful it is!"
The Venerable Qianhua continued to speak generously! Ci, while carefully observing the girl's blue eyes that couldn't hide her emotions.
She could clearly see that the girl seemed not interested in the picture she painted.
She understood something immediately. As the master of Qianhua Pavilion, she was familiar with the words to incite customers' emotions, and then said:
"But these are insignificant roles. Women wear colorful clothes not only to What the world sees is for the one person in my heart who sees it. All the praises from the world are not as good as that one word of affirmation. When he sees such a beautiful face under your mask, he will be so shocked. How much I admire you!"
Wangshu raised her head dreamily and looked into the greedy eyes of Master Qianhua.
She knew that the other party had ulterior motives for saying these words, but she really couldn't refuse, and her hand was already covering the edge of the Jade Rabbit mask.
"Don't blame yourself, don't be afraid. You are not using Thousand Faces to harm others, you just don't kill them... You just want one face! You are not hindering anyone! You have What's wrong?"
"No one can blame you or stop you! They are not qualified to do so!"
The golden glasses reflected the brilliance in Venerable Qianhua's eyes. This pried off this ignorant girl's defenses.
But in the next moment, this brilliance turned into shock, shock that hit the soul - because Wangshu took off her mask.
Under the mask is not the ugly or disfigured face that Venerable Qianhua imagined, but... no face.
It was a shapeless chaos, with two blue pupils floating in the empty chaos like two stars.
This is definitely not the face a 'person' should have!
The shock in Venerable Qianhua’s eyes instantly turned into an even greater surprise. She discovered an incredible secret! !
"I will give you a...perfect face!"
Senior Qianhua said to himself excitedly and confidently.
Wang Shu thought of the other person's expression when he said this, and she clearly felt a hint of deep malice in the other person's heart.
Her master has taught her since she was a child to stay away from people with malicious intentions, and she has always followed suit.
But why did I choose to ignore this trace of malice this time?
Maybe it’s because from the moment she took off the mask, she can’t look back; or maybe it’s because she doesn’t want to look back in order to get this face.
"Fairy Wangshu, the master of the pavilion and the painters are ready."
The maid stood outside the door and shouted softly.
The maid's expression was a little excited. As a monk in Zhongyuanzhou, why haven't you heard of Fairy Wangshu?
Everyone coveted her true appearance under the mask, but she was actually willing to take off the mask for Qianhua Pavilion. She doesn’t know how the Pavilion Master did it...
But it doesn’t matter. She only knows that she will be one of the first people to see the true appearance of Fairy Wangshu with her own eyes. , this is such a moment worth looking forward to!
As soon as the portrait is finished, this ‘breathtaking’ face described by the pavilion master will be forever imprinted with Qianhua Pavilion!
This fair-looking maid suddenly felt a sense of pride, as if that face was about to grow on hers.
"Where is my junior brother?"
"Young Master You is still resting. The master of the pavilion said that he will probably wake up after you finish painting."
When mentioned Junior brother, Fairy Wangshu looked confused.
You Su's compassionate and sullen expression yesterday lingered in her mind, feeling as uncomfortable as a barb.
Junior brother, don’t be harsh on me...
I won’t behave this time... just this time...
"Take me there..."
Wang Shu Yingying gets up , put on the special face mask prepared by Venerable Qianhua to cover her entire face.
The maid peeked at Fairy Wangshu, who remained mysterious, feeling that she was like a hijab bride about to lift her hijab in full view of the public.
......
You Su slowly opened his eyes, and the memories before coma came flooding back.
He reacted instantly. He would never allow his senior sister to be bewitched by that woman and live with such a false face.
But when he just wanted to get up, he found that his body was tied with ropes, his wrists and ankles were tightly tied together, and he could not move.
“This perverted woman!”
Yousu cursed angrily and tried to break free with brute force, but was completely unable to do so. Not only because the rope was too tough and contained profound energy, but also because the special binding method made it impossible for him to exert any force at all.
Hehuan Gong can be called an encyclopedia of boudoir secrets, and there are also records of rope skills. It’s just that You Su didn’t like this slightly forced method, so he never tried it, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t understand it at all.
You Su also gave up struggling, because he knew that this was called a horse binding, and it was a full-body binding with a strong sense of restraint that could not be opened by himself.
You Su could not help but feel a little discouraged and gritted his teeth.
He recalled the conversation before falling asleep, and his mood was a little complicated.
Senior sister has always been a good, well-behaved and sensible child, but she also longs for freedom, so she occasionally does things that may seem rebellious and paranoid to outsiders.
Although the senior sister is forty-nine years old, her innate and innocent heart makes her as simple as a child, with emotions and anger clearly visible.
Such a simple girl is the most vulnerable to being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
Senior Qianhua must have noticed the senior sister's desire to take off the mask, so he used the strange evil spirit to seduce the senior sister, thus reaching a deal with the senior sister.
Senior sister knew that she shouldn’t listen to Venerable Qianhua’s words about living with evil spirits, but she still couldn’t resist the temptation.
Senior sister's behavior yesterday was completely like a child who had done something wrong, covering up her wrong deeds with lies.
Senior sister can't lie, so she instinctively used the excuse of protecting Bihua Pavilion to cover up her selfish desire for a face.
You Su didn't know whether to blame the senior sister for not being firm enough, because the senior sister's desires were really very few, just like a well-behaved girl from a poor family who never asked for sweets. When she is given the cherry candy she wants most from an outsider, even if she really takes it, how can you bear to blame her.
What's more... You Su knew that she wanted this candy because of him.
Senior sister should know that even if he is blind, he can see the face that Xie Sui has transformed into...
When senior sister came out with that face, she looked at him with such expectant expression , She looked so disappointed after You Su got angry.
So due to the shame after making a mistake and Yu Su's harsh questioning, the senior sister did not dare to face herself, so she was afraid to admit her mistakes, because it would collapse her always obedient image.
"It's all my fault..."
You Su felt very remorseful. For the first time, his senior sister was about to force him to stay when he went out. He quickly forgave his senior sister; When he came back, he used Xiao Hua to cause trouble, and he didn't blame her...
It was because he was too gentle to his senior sister before, and he must have made her feel that it didn't matter even if she did some small wrong things like before, that's why he did it Accept the temptation of Venerable Qianhua.
"Hey, did you hear that! Fairy Wangshu has just left for Tian Bing Room. Many painters are waiting there. We will be able to see her true face under the mask soon!"
"Of course. I heard about it! I just saw Xiaoye leading her there! I was so jealous of Xiaoye that I could see that face with my own eyes. Why is it so mysterious?”
"Is it a gimmick? But it's just the right time to help me, Qianhua Pavilion!"
The distant conversation in the corridor penetrated into You Su's ears, and You Su's eyebrows were deeply furrowed and he sobbed. Said:
"Senior sister... you can't make the same mistake again and again!"
You Su gritted his teeth, turned his self-blame into strength, and continued to try to break free from the rope.
Actually, he was not simply angry because his senior sister was associated with evil spirits. After all, he himself was the same, but because he knew very well that this matter was definitely not as simple as showing his face.
Once this face is exposed to the world, it can never be taken off again.
Not only can Venerable Qianhua continue to blackmail Senior Sister by using the reason that the Goddess of the Evil Warding Department is associated with evil spirits, but he can also make Senior Sister become more and more obsessed with this face, and thus fall into lust and be unable to extricate himself from Qianhua. The Lord obeyed his advice.
If this perverted woman’s greed goes beyond that, the consequences will be disastrous!
You Su's entire face was red from being strangled, his veins were completely swollen, and even his wrists and ankles had bloody marks from the rope, but he couldn't get rid of the restraints on his body.
A trace of cruelty suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes, his pupils instantly turned dark, and he actually started to pull his left arm with all his strength!
He did not stop until the shoulder joint suffered severe pain like a disconnection. He actually wanted to break his arm to free it from the rope, and then rely on the power Tai Sui gave him. Use your strong recovery power to restore your left hand and untie the rope!
The body's self-rescue prevented him from using all his strength, so You Su bit his lips and teeth until they bled. He didn't know how long it would take to recover the severed hand, but there was no way he would be trapped here and wait to die!
"Ah...ah!!"
Suddenly, a white light flashed in Yusu's field of vision, which discouraged him from all his efforts.
It wasn't until the white light stopped in front of him that he recognized what the white light was - a little flower!
"Xiaohua! Why are you here!"
You Su was surprised. Although he had objected to senior sister taking Xiaohua in before, he had let down his guard after being together for so long.
He knew that Xiaohua and his senior sister had a very good relationship. On the Lotus Peak, he would serve as the senior sister's hairpin, and outside the Lotus Peak, he would hide in his senior sister's clothes. They were rarely separated from each other.
Xiao Hua will appear here. Didn’t Senior Sister go to the art exhibition?
Xiaohua's bright red tentacles squirmed. You Su knew that it was talking, but only senior sister could understand what Xiaohua said. He also asked senior sister why, but senior sister only said that she could understand.
Is it the senior sister who is here to convey some message to me?
“I don’t understand!”
You Su ignored the severe pain coming from his left arm and shoulder and looked a little anxious.
Xiaohua shook her head, as if she disliked this idiot.
Suddenly, the body of this small, white, snake-like creature suddenly changed in size and turned into the huge sandworm under the Yuhuan Pond, directly crushing the bed where You Su was lying.
Then the little flower's mouthparts squirmed and spit out something. You Su looked at it in surprise. It turned out to be the Jade Rabbit Mask that the senior sister had always worn before!
“What does this mean?”
You Su was a little confused, but he saw that there was a note in the mask.
The handwriting is stroke by stroke, so regular that it's a little cute. You Su recognized at a glance that it was senior sister's handwriting. Only senior sister can be so clumsy and serious when writing——
Don't you like my face, junior brother?
"I don't like it! Go and tell senior sister, whether I like her or not has nothing to do with her face!"
Xiaohua immediately obeyed the order, and in an instant she turned into a white snake again, Drilled into the ground and disappeared.
You Su knew there was hope and smiled.
But thinking that he was still trapped in the same place, he became upset, and he actually forgot to ask Xiaohua to bite off the rope for him.
......
"Fairy Wangshu, you can take off your veil now."
Venerable Qianhua looked at the girl sitting in the center of the crowd with a faint smile.
Surrounded by ten of the most qualified painters from Kong Painting Studio, men, women, and children, they all looked at the quiet girl in the middle with fiery eyes, as if they were looking at a rare treasure that was about to be released. The paintings will become a highlight in their career as painters.
"I, Xu Yan, am so lucky! I was able to record with my own eyes the moment when Fairy Wangshu revealed her true face!"
The old man who spoke was energetic and his eyes were shining. In fact, he has always had an unknown identity, that is, he is one of the chief editors of the Shenshan Celestial Ranking, and he is also an important judge who determines the ranking of fairies. Fairy Wangshu has such a high ranking despite not showing her true appearance, and he deserves a lot of credit.
The other painters also agreed, but after everyone had said their praises, Fairy Wangshu still made no move. Several people looked at each other and looked at the host, Venerable Qianhua, at a loss.
“Don’t be nervous, Fairy Wangshu, you are beautiful, just take it off boldly.” Venerable Qianhua had a smile on his face, gentle and approachable.
Wang Shu's skirt moved slightly, and she suddenly stood up, her blue eyes dazzling.
Her hands covered the ties of the veil, and everyone's breathing was stagnant, and their eyes were also affected by it.
"Junior brother doesn't like it...then don't do it..."
She murmured to herself and immediately pulled off the veil.
With a gasp of cold air, everyone turned pale with shock.
The true face under the veil... Why is it still the Jade Rabbit Mask?
