I'm Ugly

Xiao Yixian: "I don't know my last name. My mother always hoped I could become a doctor who could save the world, so she called me Little Doctor Fairy (Xiao Yixian)."

(TL/N: 'Xiao', this prefix means 'Little' used to express closeness or affection. Xiao has different meaning in terms of using it in a sentence or names.)

"And I took it as my name."

"Oh."

Yun Xui nodded. "It's a nice name."

"And you?"

Xiao Yixian asked, "I will follow you from now on, but I don't even know your name."

"Yun Xui."

"If you don't mind, you can call me Young Master from now on," Yun Xui said.

"Okay, sir." Xiao Yixian didn't argue; she just nodded in response.

Although she had only spent a few days with this "young master," Xiao Yixian understood that he was a powerful man. Having experienced the insidiousness of the continent, she naturally knew what to do. With a powerful person as a backer, her future life would be a little better.

"Um."

No words were spoken that night.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and before she realized it, more than a month had gone by. During this time, Yun Xui stayed by the side of Xiao Yixian.

Rather than saying she was Yun Xui's "maid," it would be more accurate to say Yun Xui was Xiao Yixian's "caretaker." Every day, Yun Xui cooked food for her.

Of course, after a month of getting along, the two strangers had gradually become familiar with each other.

---

One day, Yun Xui glanced at the dirty Xiao Yixian and said with a slight tone of disdain, "Go wash in the nearby pool!"

The Xiao Yixian naturally understood Yun Xui's meaning and nodded slightly. "Okay."

She walked slowly toward the nearby pool. Judging by her demeanor, not only did Yun Xui feel disdain for her appearance, but she also felt disgusted with herself.

She really needed a good wash.

Watching Xiao Yixian leave, Yun Xui murmured, "It seems I have to buy her some clothes. Otherwise, it'll be pointless even if she washes herself."

Thinking he'd found someone to take care of him, Yun Xui realized it seemed he'd found someone for himself to take care of instead.

Shaking his head helplessly, his body gradually faded from sight.

---

When Yun Xui returned, he carried a moon-white dress in his hands, matching his own white attire well.

Xiao Yixian was in the pool, with only her head sticking out while her entire body remained submerged in the water.

Glancing at Xiao Yixian in the pool, Yun Xui placed the clothes near the edge and said, "The clothes are here. Wear them after you're done washing."

With that, Yun Xui turned and left.

After ensuring Yun Xui had left and had no intention of peeking, Xiao Yixian gradually approached the shore.

If Yun Xui knew what Xiao Yixian was thinking at that moment, he would have turned around and asked, "Peeking? Am I that kind of person? What's so special about a little brat?"

---

By the campfire, there were two stone benches. Yun Xui sat on one of them. On the campfire was a rabbit, its golden skin exuding an enticing aroma.

As expected, this rabbit became Xiao Yixian's meal.

As for Yun Xui?

As a powerful man, eating or not eating didn't matter much. He always maintained peak physical condition.

Xiao Yixian returned, now wearing the moon-white dress Yun Xui had prepared for her. After washing up, she was no longer the sloppy, dirty figure she had been before.

At this moment, Xiao Yixian had a fair face with a rosy blush, delicate features, and a dignified appearance—looking every bit like a "little fairy."

"You're back?"

With just one glance, Yun Xui withdrew his gaze. There was nothing interesting about the little brat. The only person in his heart was Xun'er.

"Mm."

Xiao Yixian nodded slightly and sat down on the other stone bench. Nervous, she pinched the corner of her skirt with her little hands, not knowing what to say.

As Yun Xui roasted the rabbit, he slowly said, "Do you like to eat rabbit meat?"

"I like it a lot."

How could one resist such delicious food? After cooking it, Yun Xui passed the food to Xiao Yixian.

Concentrating on eating the barbecue, Xiao Yixian suddenly looked up at Yun Xui and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Yun Xui replied, "It's inconvenient for me to eat while wearing a mask."

"Can't you just take off the mask?" Xiao Yixian asked.

In the month they had spent together, this man had never eaten and had never taken off his mask. Xiao Yixian was curious about the face hidden beneath it.

Yun Xui replied calmly, "I'm ugly. If I take off the mask, you'll be scared."

"Really?"

"I don't mind," Xiao Yixian said, shaking her head.

"But I do," Yun Xui replied.

After saying this, Yun Xui stood and walked away. He wasn't good at chatting and was afraid Xiao Yixian might ask further questions. He could only leave temporarily.

"Strange man," Xiao Yi Xiao murmured, watching Yun Xui leave.

Returning her focus to the meal, she once again immersed herself in finishing the food.

---

Meanwhile, Yun Xui retrieved the last reward from his ring, finally taking the time to study it.

It was the Xuanyuan Sword, a legendary divine weapon. Engraved with the sun, moon, and stars on one side, and mountains, rivers, and plants on the other, the sword exuded immense power.

Holding the Xuanyuan Sword, Yun Xui felt as though he wielded infinite power, capable of cutting through eternity with one strike.

Swinging the sword, an invisible force spread out.

Boom!

All the trees in front of him were instantly severed, as though cut by a divine weapon.

Looking at the divine sword in his hand, Yun Xui's eyes burned with excitement. "What an incredible sword. Produced by the system—it must be top-notch."

With this sword, Yun Xui believed his strength would greatly increase.

"With this sword, I'm invincible in this Dou Qi Continent."
