The Ugliest Girl

Yan Xi stood still and looked at the man with a faint smile. Her dark eyes were like ink. 

She was clearly smiling, but for some reason, she gave off an intimidating aura. 

The person who was talking loudly just now felt his throat constrict. He quickly shut his mouth and looked around, trying to hide in the crowd. 

Recently, Yan Xi had been a little strange. Even Yan Lan and the head of the family had offended her. Now whoever touched Yan Xi would be unlucky. It was better for him not to get involved in this mess. 

He was not afraid; he was just retreating tactfully! 

However, before he could hide in the crowd, the people around him all took a few steps back. 

Thus, he stuck out like a sore thumb. 

Yan Xi flicked the dust off her sleeves. "What's wrong? You don't seem to believe I'm worthy of my place in the family, huh?" 

She was no stranger to such a situation. 

When she had just inherited the position of head of the Yan family, there were many people who doubted her. 

That person opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but a huge shadow smashed toward them, setting off a foul-smelling wind. 

It was a huge tusked wild boar, as tall as two people. Its tusks were long and sharp, and it was coming straight for him. 

If they were hit, even if they were not pierced by its tusks, their bones would be broken by its terrifying weight. 

They cried out in alarm and fled in all directions. Most of these branch disciples were at the third or fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm. No matter who was hit, they would be injured for months. 

Yan Xi's eyes narrowed. 

The wild boar fell to the ground, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. 

The wild boar that should have been dead suddenly opened its eyes. As if it knew that its life was coming to an end, it howled toward the sky and madly waved its tusks. 

Yan Xi and the branch disciple were on the side. If they were hit by the wild boar's tusks, they would probably be skewered. 

The person who had spoken earlier seemed to be scared out of his wits as he stood rooted to the ground. Most of the low-level disciples had never faced a magical beast this strong. 

Yan Xi flew up and kicked the disciple. 

He fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string. He accidentally hit his nose, and blood flowed out. 

The nervousness of escaping from death had not yet dissipated. His somewhat unfocused eyes looked in the direction where he had been. 

The half-masked girl was dressed in black. She was agile and valiant. She jumped up and kicked the wild boar's Head. 

The disciple could not help but touch his chest and hear the sound of his heart thumping. The adrenaline rush from narrowly escaping death had yet to subside. 

The wild boar was in pain from Yan Xi's kick, and it raised its head to hit her. 

Yan Xi stepped on the wild boar's tusks and flew up. The long sword in her hand pierced the wild boar's neck. 

The long sword's momentum was blocked—as if it had stabbed into a stone! 

Yan Xi frowned. 

This was the importance of cultivating Profound Qi in this world. A magical beast's skin was thick and without Profound Qi, one would not even be able to break through its defenses. 

If it was a Profound cultivator who had condensed his Profound Qi on his sword, this strike would have cut off at least half of the wild boar's head. 

Her eyes narrowed, and she drew her sword. Suddenly, another long sword shot out and pierced the wild boar's eyes! 

The long sword flew down like a rainbow. The huge head of the tusked boar was instantly cut in half. Blood spurted out and was about to splash on Yan Xi. 

She dodged and flicked her sleeves. Her cold eyes looked in the direction of the disciples and met a pair of icy blue eyes. 

A young man dressed in regal white robes with blue trimming stood there. 

A long sword that was emitting cold air automatically returned to his side, circled around him once, and then disappeared. 

It was Yun Yuhan. 

Apart from Yan Xi, almost everyone in the Yan family subconsciously lowered their breathing. 

"Yun Yuhan, you're so fast. I haven't even made a move yet," a loud and clear voice sounded. 

On top of the fallen wild boar, besides Yan Xi, stood a handsome yet wild-looking young man. 

He was half-squatting on the wild boar with a blade of grass in his mouth and a heavy sword on his back. 

When he saw Yan Xi looking at him, his handsome face showed a bright smile, revealing his teeth, and waved at Yan Xi. "Hi! You're Yun Yuhan's fiancée? You're not as useless as the rumors say!" 

"Ji San," Yun Yuhan frowned and wanted to call him back. 

The young man continued to move closer to Yan Xi as if he had not heard him. His bright amber eyes were shining, and he was very enthusiastic. 

"I heard you're very ugly. Can you take off your mask and let me see how ugly you are?" 

"I can't." 

"Young Master Ji San, Yan Xi has been disfigured since she was young. Please don't do this, she'll be sad." A gentle voice with a hint of reproach could be heard. Duanmu Rou stood beside Yun Yuhan. Her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed, and her lovely eyes were filled with worry. 

Everyone immediately felt sorry for her. 

"I heard that Yan Xi stole the jade pendant that Duanmu Rou used to treat fire poison. Yan Lan fought for her cousin and had a dispute with Yan Xi yesterday." 

"Duanmu Rou went to stop the fight and was beaten by Yan Xi. Yan Xi treated her like this, but she still helped her out today. She's so kind!" 

Yan Xi glanced at her. 

She narrowed her eyes and flashed a mysterious smile at Duanmu Rou. 

After the host's face was injured, Duanmu Rou was the first to deliver the ointment. 

However, not only did the ointment not work, but it also delayed her recovery and made it worse. 

At that time, when Aunt Wang went to ask, she got the reputation of being ungrateful. After that, she did not apply any more medicine, and the wound on her face slowly scabbed, leaving only a deep disfigurement. 

At that time, Yan Lan was quite young. Although she always bullied the original owner, she could not think of disfiguring her with hot oil. 

Yan Xi's black eyes narrowed slightly. There was a sharp glint in them. 

Jii San was still moving closer to her, completely ignoring Duanmu Rou. His eyes were full of interest. "I want to see your face. I really want to see what the ugliest girl in Muyun looks like." 

Yan Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "You want to see my face?" 

Ji San nodded his head vigorously, revealing two sharp canines as smiled 

"Give me the money." 

Most of the ingredients for the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion were not expensive, but some of the main ingredients were a bit pricey. She did not have much money left from the compensation she received. 

Moreover, if she wanted to unlock the next chapter, she would have to refine more medicinal pills. 

Being an alchemist was really a money-burning profession! 

Yan Xi sighed internally. 

On the other side, Ji San was stunned. "Money?" 

"Yes. You can only look at me if you pay." Yan Xi nodded and said honestly, "You said that I'm the ugliest girl in Muyun. Do you think I'll let you look at the ugliest girl in the country for free?" 

The others who had heard the conversation between the two were baffled. 

What kind of twisted logic was this?
