416, Gu Yuena: It must be because I'm ugly that Lin Yi bullies me every day [Third Update]_1

Ju Zi cried with a smile, her eyes moist as she looked at Lin Yi.

"Just like in the story," she said, "Lin Yi, you must be the incarnation of that fairy, right?"

In the story, when Cinderella was covered in cinders and dust, a fairy appeared and transformed her into a princess.

And when I was engulfed in hatred, lost in a daze, Lin Yi appeared. He revived my parents and gave me the opportunity to become a beautiful princess, giving me hope to live happily ever after!

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, "Try them on?"

"Okay!"

Ju Zi took off the shoes she was wearing and stuffed her delicate feet into the crystal shoes. Her skin was beautiful, and her feet looked as exquisite as the crystal shoes themselves, fair and smooth, with clearly visible veins.

Just like the story, the crystal shoes fit Ju Zi perfectly.

After putting on the shoes, she stood up and twirled. Her floral skirt suddenly burst into brilliant light, and a pink fringed long dress floated down from mid-air, covering her legs but leaving the lower part of her calves exposed.

As Ju Zi twirled, her attire completely changed. The fresh floral dress turned into a stately pink court dress, the sheer fabric dancing in the wind, with a large bow at her waist behind her.

Her long hair, too, was swept up, revealing her pale and slender swan neck, decorated with a pretty bow.

The most eye-catching of all was the pair of crystal shoes on her feet, sparkling in the stands, just like Ju Zi at the moment.

"Do you think it's pretty?"

Ju Zi, with a beautiful and delicate makeup done, clutched the fringe of her dress and asked Lin Yi, full of nervous anticipation.

The latter nodded, "It's very pretty."

"So beautiful!"

"Princess! Turn around so we can see!"

"Yes, princess!"

...

The men in the audience began to cheer loudly, causing Ju Zi to spin around shyly and timidly. Her stunning appearance left everyone speechless.

The Ju Zi who was just eating terrifying food a moment ago had turned into a dazzling princess in the next.

Only Lin Yi could make such a promise, truly not letting Ju Zi's efforts be in vain.

Gu Yuena thought to herself, deeply attracted by the sight of Ju Zi now.

Lin Yi looked down, leaving one last fairy tale to extract.

The content on the panel flickered and the extraction was complete.

[The Ugly Duckling]

Hmm? The last one is the story of the Ugly Duckling.

After reviewing the story, Lin Yi simply recounted it.

Upon hearing the end, where the Ugly Duckling turned into a beautiful white swan, Bi Ji pricked up her ears and wondered, "Why did the duckling turn into a Goose Goose?"

Lin Yi explained, "Because it was actually a white swan all along. It was different from the ducklings from the start, and that's why it was ostracized."

"I see!"

Lin Yi was startled as Bi Ji suddenly transformed into Black Swan.

Black Swan opened her arms confidently, spun around in place and said, "This is how beautiful we swans are~"

Gu Yuena: "..."

Lin Yi: "..."

Di Tian: "..."

Ju Zi, still in her beautiful princess look, muttered to herself, "This magic-modified ability isn't just about making someone feel inferior, is it... No, definitely not."

The panel's content continued to emerge.

[Magic-modified Ability: Make Someone Feel Inferior]

[Source of Magic Modification: The Ugly Duckling's Endless Self-doubt]

Lin Yi: "The magic-modified ability is 'Make Someone Feel Inferior.' The ability ignores the strength of the target, but can only target one person at a time, meaning it can only affect one person."

"The effect of the ability is that the victim will doubt the reality of what they possess, always feel inferior to others, lack confidence, and always be plagued by self-doubt."

It really is about making someone feel inferior...

Ju Zi, with an inner comment, suddenly raised her hand like a schoolgirl and asked, "I have a question!"

"Speak."

"Do I have to keep pointing at him?"

...Uh, no, that's not that sadistic.

Lin Yi explained, "Just a point will do, the effect should last about an hour. During this hour you can't point at anyone else. You can only choose another target after the hour is up."

"I see!"

The ability seemed somewhat terrifying... Gu Yuena muttered to herself.

Lin Yi then said with a smile, "You could try it on the most confident person here."

Ju Zi nodded her head, first looking towards the Martial Soul Hall.

Thousand Waves and the others immediately waved their hands and backed off, "No no no, we're very inferior!"

Bi Bidong, "Me too!"

At this moment, Ju Zi suddenly thought of Ying Wei, who had gained confidence. She turned to look at Zhu Zhuyun, "Him!"

Zhu Zhuyun turned her head to look at Ying Wei, who was bound and gagged, observing the expression in his eyes, and shook her head, "He should be in his ten minutes of feeling inferior right now."

Ju Zi, "..."

Lin Yi's voice came from behind, "Why not try it on Gu Yuena? I think she is quite confident."

A bolt from the blue struck the pineal gland in her brain.

Gu Yuena tensed up, her gaze hollow as she looked at Lin Yi.

It's me again!

Ahhh! It's me again!

Do you dislike me that much?!

It must be because I had a bad attitude at the start, and Lin Yi has been holding a grudge all this time. That's why he's taking revenge!

Hmph, tonight... tonight I will make you kneel and wash clothes on the washboard!

It's normal for a girlfriend to have her boyfriend do this... right? Maybe? I think I've heard of this among humans.

Ju Zi was somewhat wary of Gu Yuena. She knew this was the most powerful woman present and could confirm that Gu Yuena was indeed very confident, making her the best candidate for the experiment reward.

"Can... can I?"

Lin Yi, "Why not, just give it a try."

Gu Yuena suppressed the tears in her eyes, thinking being inferior for an hour was worse than death.

The proud Silver Dragon King would never bow her head!

...Of course, that night in the cabin doesn't count! It doesn't count!

Seeing that Gu Yuena neither responded nor refused, standing there with her arms crossed and a cold expression, her heterochromatic vertical pupils staring at her.

Ju Zi ventured a trembling hand and pointed at Gu Yuena.

After pointing, she pursed her lips, stepped back, and lowered her hand.

At that moment, everyone's gaze turned unanimously to Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena silently lowered her hands, her aggressive vertical pupils instantly changed to round eyes, and her gaze suddenly appeared fragile.

She bent over, covering her head with her hands, "Ah... I suddenly feel so inferior..."

My subordinates respect me; it can't be because of my strength. I couldn't even save Bi Ji in heaven, and I'm so scared of the gods. Their respect is just because of the Silver Dragon King Bloodline...

Without the bloodline, I am nothing.

I'm not pretty at all. No one has ever expressed their love to me. Even Bi Ji has Di Tian's affection...

Lin Yi must think I'm ugly; that's why he bullies me every day. It must be. He's never complimented me, only bullied me...

In the clan, the ugly ones are always ostracized.

The rewards I get are always so lackluster; it must be because I've done so many bad things that my luck has been reduced. It must be...

I shouldn't be standing here. I should be hiding in a corner...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Yuena walked silently to a corner's shadow and crouched down, her arms embracing her knees.
