Chapter 48
Shen Tang returned to the tent and fell asleep right away. After this incident, no one should be bothering her for the time being, and the system would alert her if there was any danger.
She was about to fall asleep when she heard the system prompt in her mind,
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the side mission: Helping the male lead, Lu Xiao, escape from danger. Reward: One facial adjustment p>
The system kindly explained, [Host can choose any feature on your face and adjust it according to your preferences! Once adjusted, the new appearance will take effect immediately and cannot be undone, so please choose wisely p>
[Would the Host like to use the facial adjustment opportunity immediately p>
Shen Tang heard the system’s words, and sleepiness instantly vanished from her mind.
She had been enduring this ugly look for a long time!
“Use it immediately p>
[Please choose the facial feature you’d like to adjust p>
Shen Tang said without hesitation, [Eyes p>
Eyes are the windows to the soul, and everyone judges by appearance, especially when dealing with challenging men like Jia Lan, a person so fixated on looks. How can one do without a pair of enchanting eyes?
[Alright, opening the facial adjustment panel for Host, no time limit p>
An electronic screen appeared in front of Shen Tang, only visible to her.
It resembled the face-customization page in an online game.
The initial face on the page was her current face.
Swollen, narrow eyes, a flat and fleshy nose, the mouth wasn’t ugly but rather ordinary.
She really wished she could create an entirely new face, but unfortunately, each facial adjustment only allowed one feature to be altered.
The system temptingly encouraged, [Complete more missions to earn another opportunity for facial remodeling p>
Shen Tang couldn’t be bothered with it; those men in the missions weren’t easy to deal with!
She focused intensely on customizing her face.
Shen Tang wanted to directly create a pair of alluring, captivating eyes that could make men go to great lengths for her with just one blink.
Unfortunately, it seemed too fake. Such overly delicate and beautiful eyes would look awkward on her face.
After thinking for a bit, Shen Tang decided to adjust based on her existing facial features, enhancing her attractiveness significantly without looking like an entirely different person.
She worked on the customization for half an hour before she was satisfied.
The original swollen eyes vanished, replaced by a pair of slightly open, inner double-fold eyes. The curvature was smooth and beautiful, resembling lazy cat eyes, with distinct black and white pupils, enchantingly moist, and slightly upturned corners, adding a charming and captivating touch.
Shen Tang opened the selfie mode on her Light Computer and liked what she saw more and more. Just those beautiful eyes added a lot of charm to her otherwise plain and dull facial features, giving her a refreshed appearance.
“Shen Tang, are you asleep?” came the voice of Shen Li and the others outside the tent.
Shen Tang’s mind stirred; she couldn’t resist wanting to see how these men would react!
She closed the Light Computer, snuggled back into the blanket, “Not asleep yet, do you need something p>
Shen Li lifted the tent flap and walked in slowly, looking at the female lying on the sleeping pad with her back to him. His gentle voice carried a hint of apology, “It was my fault that night, I shouldn’t have left midway, or else it wouldn’t have happened p>
“It’s okay, it wasn’t your fault anyway. The blame lies with those who conspired against me,” Shen Tang turned around, curling her lips and eyes, giving him a gentle, comforting smile.
Shen Li met her gaze and his voice came to an abrupt halt, his fox-like eyes momentarily stunned, with his ruby-like pupils slightly dilated.
Curious, Shen Tang blinked, the upward tilt of her eye corners seemed like little hooks, lightly teasing his heart, leaving him feeling slightly numbed.
Xiao Jin and Jia Lan, who entered afterward, froze as well after seeing her face clearly.
Whether it was due to the lighting or not, tonight the eyes of this woman were particularly enchanting, clear and charming, seeming to capture one’s soul. Her smile became like a crescent moon, captivating one’s gaze.
Jia Lan stared in shock at Shen Tang’s mesmerizing, water-like eyes. They seemed different from before, but upon closer examination, there wasn’t too much change. Why did they look unbelievably attractive today?
The upward-turned corners of her eyes seemed like little hooks, causing his heart to skip a beat.
Damn it!
He actually thought this woman looked pretty!
Jia Lan’s handsome face darkened abruptly, suspecting that being around this woman for too long was making his aesthetic judgment falter.
Xiao Jin’s deep, enigmatic golden eyes revealed a hint of profound meaning.
Was it possible that this woman had swapped places with someone else?
With three men staring at her intently, Shen Tang deliberately pretended not to notice and asked innocently, “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face p>
Shen Li replied softly, “Xiao Tang, you seem to… have become much more attractive lately p>
Shen Tang pouted, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and ugliness is in the eye of the adversary. You guys had bias against me before, so nothing about me looked right! Now that I’ve changed for the better, naturally you think I look prettier than before p>
The three fell silent for a moment. Despite sounding absurd, her defense sounded somewhat reasonable.
Shen Tang seemed oblivious to the strange looks from the three men, lazily yawned, and asked nonchalantly, “Why are you awake at this hour, visiting me? Do you want to share my bed p>
“Nice try! Who wants to share a bed with you!” Xiao Jin’s handsome face turned dark, not bothering to look at her again. Indeed, this woman remained as shameless and vulgar as before, no swap had happened!
Shen Li glanced at her face, concealing the meaning in his eyes, and smiled warmly, “We came over to ask what happened the night before last. Do you know who took you away p>
Jia Lan pressed his lips together and hesitated, “The City Lord will probably ask you about this tomorrow morning, so we came to ask you in advance p>
Shen Tang shook her head, “Can’t tell this to the City Lord p>
Shen Li raised an eyebrow, looking at her curiously, “Why? Could it be related to the City Lord p>
The City Lord wasn’t someone particularly honorable, but it didn’t fit for him to secretly target her, a female.
“It’s not related to the City Lord, but to his daughter!” Shen Tang didn’t hide the matter, also wanting to test these men’s attitudes towards her, “The ones who conspired against me were An Ya and Shi Yin. An Ya sent her Beast Husband, Zhao Yin, to kidnap me, but didn’t succeed. I never expected Shi Yin to get involved too, sending a Mole Beastman to kidnap me and throw me into the polluted area p>
The three men’s faces suddenly turned grim. Truly, they didn’t like Shen Tang, but outsiders bullying her meant disregarding them.
Shi Yin was the City Lord’s daughter; telling the City Lord wouldn’t help her seek justice. Instead, fearing it might affect his daughter’s reputation, he might secretly eliminate Shen Tang.
Xiao Jin remembered Shi Yin trying to seduce him earlier in the day, and his expression became even colder, as if he had swallowed a fly, looking grim and chilling.
