Chapter 47: Su Yuexi, Unparalleled and Stunning

Looking at Su Xuefeng, Luo Tong also gave a thumbs up and said, "Brilliant. Old Master Su is truly brilliant. After all, this criminal was given in marriage by the Lord of Yunzhou; killing him on the spot might bring great disaster."

As the couple played their parts in tandem, the entire audience suddenly understood.

So, this was Su Xuefeng's plan.

Judging by that criminal's impulsive nature, he certainly wouldn't be able to stand it once Su Yuexi stepped onto the arena and was humiliated.

If he rushed onto the stage and was beaten to death, it would have nothing to do with the Su family.

Furthermore, such a death could inflict a hundred times more pain upon them—making them suffer through the next seven days of waiting, utterly powerless to resist.

As for Su Xuefeng himself, he would gain the reputation of a man who showed leniency toward his family.

These words made Su Zhenglong and his wife realize just how sinister Su Xuefeng was; he didn't just want to kill, he wanted to destroy their very souls!

Su Yuexi's small face turned pale as she instinctively looked toward Sikong Jing.

She knew Luo Tong and his wife were right; if she went on stage, Jing-ge would definitely not be able to endure it.

In the entire hall, only Sikong Jing remained indifferent, sneering inwardly: *A bunch of clowns.*

At that moment, Su Yun stepped forward slowly, pointing at Su Yuexi and saying, "Regardless, I still saved your life. You ugly freak, how are you going to thank me?"

Su Yuexi opened her mouth; it was indeed because Su Yun had made the proposal that they were temporarily safe.

At least there were seven days left; perhaps they could find a way?

*Slap!*

Just as Su Yuexi opened her mouth to speak, a crisp sound rang out from Su Yun's face.

She was violently sent flying by a gust of palm wind—and of course, it was Sikong Jing.

Su Xuefeng's anger, which had just begun to subside, was reignited: "Criminal, do you think I truly wouldn't dare kill you?"

He had indeed considered the marriage bestowed by the Lord of Yunzhou, and combined with what Luo Tong and his wife said—that the seven days Su Yuexi spent without martial arts would be the most agonizing torture—he had formed this plan.

But this criminal actually dared to provoke him.

Su Yun clutched her face and went mad, pointing at Su Yuexi and screaming, "You ugly freak, is this how you thank me?"

Even Su Zhenglong and his wife felt a massive headache coming on; Sikong Jing was simply too much of a troublemaker.

*Thud!*

Sikong Jing took a heavy step forward, pointing at Su Yun and saying, "I said, no one is allowed to call Yuexi an ugly freak."

As soon as these words were uttered, Su Yun couldn't help but shriek, "It's the truth! Is being ugly a crime that can't be spoken of?"

At the same time, Luo Tong's wife sneered, "Su Zhenglong's criminal son-in-law, ugly is ugly. Facts are facts. Do you think you can shut our mouths?"

"That's right, everyone knows your wife is the ugliest woman in all of Yunzhou."

"This criminal is really just deceiving himself."

Voices rose continuously throughout the hall, filled with ridicule. They all felt that Sikong Jing was just a normal man; although he had accepted Su Yuexi, he still couldn't accept her ugliness.

In the next instant, Sikong Jing suddenly vanished from his spot... *Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!*

A series of crisp sounds rang out. Including Luo Tong's wife, everyone was dealt a harsh slap in the face by him.

Sikong Jing's speed was eerie to the extreme, making it impossible to defend against.

In the moment the crowd was stunned and enraged, he returned to Su Yuexi's side, took her hand, and gazed at the entire assembly.

"These slaps are not just because you spoke of Yuexi, but also a punishment for your humiliation of my father-in-law."

When they had arrived at the banquet, Su Zhenglong had been treated like a fallen tiger bullied by dogs; Sikong Jing had remembered it all.

If Su Xuefeng had been moved by the statue of Yuexi's grandmother, he wouldn't have needed to act, but since Su Xuefeng remained obstinate, he would inevitably vent this anger for his father-in-law.

"And the fact is, Yuexi is the number one beauty in the world."

As his voice fell, Su Yuexi was stunned once again. Why did Jing-ge say something like that?

*Swish...*

In the next instant, Su Yuexi felt the veil on her face vanish; Sikong Jing had actually ripped it off.

In an instant, a face of breathtaking beauty was revealed.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze at that moment. Whether it was Su Xuefeng, whose anger had been reignited, or the guests whose faces were stinging from the slaps and were about to explode, or Su Zhenglong and his wife—everyone's eyes widened.

A single thought echoed in everyone's mind: *Is this a celestial being?*

"Ah!"

Su Yuexi let out a scream, frantically covering her face, saying in a mix of shame and confusion, "Jing-ge, please give my veil back."

She was the only one in the entire hall who did not realize how beautiful she was at that moment.

Sikong Jing looked at Su Yuexi tenderly and said softly, "From this day forward, you no longer need to wear a veil. Even if you aren't the number one beauty in the world, you are the number one beauty in Yunzhou."

At this point, Sikong Jing pulled away the hands Su Yuexi was using to cover her face and gently touched them, saying, "Your face... it has recovered!"

*Boom!*

A thunderclap roared in Su Yuexi's mind. She was left in a state of daze and disbelief; how could a face suddenly recover?

"Yuexi, let Mother see your face quickly."

Before Su Yuexi could react, Mei Xiaofang rushed forward, staring intensely at her daughter with tears streaming down her face. She then began to shower her face with frantic kisses, crying out wildly, "It's alright, your face is truly healed!"

Su Zhenglong's eyes were filled with tears as he laughed maniacally.

He pointed at Su Xuefeng, as if venting his soul, and said, "Father, do you see?"

"Yuexi's face is healed. Yuexi is no longer the ugliest in Yunzhou; she will no longer bring shame to the Su family."

At this point, he pointed majestically at the crowd: "Did you all see that? Who still dares to say my daughter is ugly?"

At this moment, Su Zhenglong felt the greatest release of his life, more exciting even than his own immediate recovery from injury.

His daughter would never have to suffer because of ugliness again.

His father and the entire Su family could no longer use Yuexi's appearance to humiliate her; nothing could make him happier than this.

The hall remained silent. They felt as if they were in a dream. How could such a thing be possible?

Finally, Su Yun's scream rang out: "Impossible! This is fake! This face must be fake!"

The recovered Su Yuexi was too beautiful—so beautiful that Su Yun's jealousy burned like fire, more intense than her anger over the death of her eldest brother, Su Shan.

How could an ugly freak, whom everyone spat upon, become this beautiful?

"Jing-ge, my... my face has really recovered?" Su Yuexi murmured to herself, unable to believe it.

Sikong Jing nodded with a smile and suddenly reached out to pull a large blade toward him, using the flat of the blade as a mirror to reflect Su Yuexi's face.

In an instant, Su Yuexi saw herself in the blade.

She covered her mouth, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Su Xuefeng's voice rang out: "Beautiful. Very beautiful. Indeed, she will no longer bring shame to our Su family."

His face also carried shock and confusion, but that shock slowly receded.

Su Zhenglong smiled with satisfaction. The reason his father had always looked down on his family was because Yuexi was too ugly and brought him shame.

Now, he finally had no excuse, right?

"I now command you: do not allow Yuexi to share a bed with this criminal."

"After the criminal is dead, Yuexi may come to Yunzhou City and marry a noble young master to bring honor to our Su family."

Su Xuefeng's aged voice echoed through the hall, his tone devoid of any affection.
