Chapter 42: Mom,why are you so ugly?
Upon hearing these words, Fu Ting was stunned, a vein appearing on her forehead as she gritted her teeth.
She asked with narrowed eyes, "What did you say, Xiao Chen?"
Hearing her response, Xiao Chen snapped back to reality, realizing his blunder.
He was startled and inwardly scolded himself, ’Now that I’ve said it, let’s see if I can salvage this situation.’
Xiao Chen couldn’t retract his words, as it went against a child’s nature to do so; children often speak their minds freely.
’Hah, Fu Ting, who told you to disguise yourself? Now, you can’t blame a ’child’ for speaking the truth.’
With this thought, Xiao Chen chuckled to himself.
Xiao Chen gazed at Fu Ting with a doubtful expression and innocent eyes, as if he hadn’t done anything wrong at all.
When Fu Ting noticed this, she felt a surge of annoyance.
How could she not realize that Xiao Chen was speaking the truth?
Truth be told, Fu Ting’s disguised appearance could easily rival that of the top actresses in the ’Blue Star.’
However, after spending time with two otherworldly beauties, Xiao Chen’s standards for women had skyrocketed.
Fu Ting felt incredibly uncomfortable being called ugly for the first time in her life.
In the middle and upper realms, there were only a handful of people who could be compared to her in terms of beauty, such as Tang Jingxue and her sworn sister.
Moreover, many patriarchs, clan leaders, and Sacred Lords had pursued her beauty relentlessly in her youth, to which she hadn’t even bothered to respond.
After living for more than a thousand years, Fu Ting believed she had lost interest in worldly desires.
However, being called ’ugly’ by Xiao Chen made her realize otherwise.
"If someone else had called me that," she thought, "it wouldn’t have bothered me as much; As I would have swiftly dealt with them without a second thought."
In fact, there was one aspect Fu Ting hadn’t considered: the person who had called her ’ugly’ was someone who considered her as a mother.
"Damn it, why did I have to disguise myself, and all because of you...?" Fu Ting muttered in her heart.
However,her thoughts interrupted as she glanced at Xiao Chen, whose eyes were heavy with sleep.
This time, Xiao Chen was truly going to sleep, his mind exhausted from the near-death experience and his body in need of rest after evolution.
With a warm and contented smile on his face, Xiao Chen began to drift off to sleep, the ’Flame Harmony Mode’ slowly deactivating.
Witnessing this scene, Fu Ting felt a bit surprised, and the dissatisfaction in her heart vanished and With a sly smile on her face, she snapped her fingers.
Instantly, a bright light filled the entire room as she erected her top-rank space barrier of the Transcend Tribulation Realm.
After a while, when the light subsided, an astonishing transformation occurred, which unfortunately Xiao Chen didn’t get to see.
"FuFu," a voice echoed,sounding like a call of nature.
"What do you think of me now? Am I still ugly?"
After discarding her disguise, Fu Ting spoke these words with a gentle expression, her lips curved into a proud smile.
Right now,Fu Ting’s gentle appearance was indeed comparable to that of Tang Jingxue and Ji Rongmei.
Moreover,If the family members of the Fu family saw this scene, they would think it was a dream, as Fu Ting wouldn’t display such behavior with their incompetent young master.
However, Xiao Chen could only anticipate seeing her appearance in the future, and his reaction would be worth waiting for.
The next day, inside the luxurious bedroom, Xiao Chen woke up with a lazy yawn.
As he recalled everything that happened yesterday, Xiao Chen came back to his senses.
Realizing that he had slept through half of his plan, he wasn’t worried. Instead, he looked at the tree mark on his forehead in the mirror.
The tree mark was divine sense mark and message left on him by Fu Ting before she left.
It meant that she could know his location whenever she wanted, indicating that Fu Ting would be protecting him for real.
The message informed him that She was protector send by Tang jingxue,in case if Xiao chen remembered her appearance.
After all,Xiao chen was in a state of half-sleep or traumatised personality. therefore
He shouldn’t remember her appearance.
As for her observing him, Xiao Chen dismissed this possibility as he looked at the system prompts from yesterday.
[Ding* Fu Ting’s favorability for the host has increased by 5]
[Ding* Fu Ting’s favorability for the host has increased by 3]
[Ding* Fu Ting’s favorability for the host has increased by 4]
Just from yesterday, Fu Ting’s favorability rose by 12. The highest increase was because Fu Ting’s maternal instincts reacted.
The second increase was due to Xiao Chen’s trickery, making Fu Ting feel guilty about hurting him
However, the last increase puzzled him because it happened while he was asleep, and he couldn’t figure out why it rose.
So,Xiao Chen simply attributed it to Fu Ting’s maternal love (max).
Little did he know that it happened when Fu ting revealed her real appearance yesterday.
Though she reveal it when he was sleeping,it signifies the trust fu ting had in him because Fu ting didn’t even reveal her appearance to Tang jingxue.
After this,Xiao chen called the favourability panel of fu ting.
[Favourability panel:
Name:Fu ting
Status: heroine (unconquered)
Favourability:41(trusted)
By reaching 95,host can enjoy the blessings of destiny]
Seeing this panel,Xiao chen further confirmed that Fu ting was really trustable.
Afterwards,Xiao chen went to the cultivation chamber to prepare for the sect’s annual competition.
After all,He wasn’t simply going confront Ye fan....
