Chapter 502: Chapter 293 Broken Ugliness_2

In the distance, a group of people were walking up the hill. Leading the way, Lisa called out, “Xi, come out.”

If someone else had called her, Xi would not have come out, but Lisa was the exception. The only person in Xi’s life who did not mock, hit, or scold her for her appearance, even tried to cure and beautify her.

Xi’s right hand had been broken. As a child, someone had kicked her, and she blocked it, breaking her wrist. Without money for treatment, her wrist had healed crookedly.

After arriving in Goddess of Beauty City, Lisa broke Xi’s wrist again to re-treat it, finally fixing her crooked right hand.

Lisa tried to beautify her too, but the omnipotent Face Purification Technique had no effect on Xi. Instead, it seemed to make her even uglier.

At the time, a pharmacist named Sava had said, “Your ugliness is congenital. The more you try to treat it, the worse it gets. You can only maintain your current appearance now.”

Xi nodded, no longer having any other thoughts.

Later, Lisa arranged for her to stay here, where, no matter how ugly she was, the Skeleton Zombies wouldn’t reject her, so Xi was very happy.

Now Lisa and a group of people came to her. Although scared, Xi came out timidly.

“I’ve seen you a long time ago. Come over, take off your hood, and let the adults see you.” Lisa said with a smile, she couldn’t hide in the grass, or even under the dirt, Lisa had discovered her long ago.

Xi cautiously squinted at the people around Lisa. The one at the front was an astonishing flying Bronze Dragon.

Although she kept her guard up when it came to humans, she didn’t feel the same towards the dragon. Curious, she glanced over, and timidly lifted her hood.

Negris, startled, looked at the face under the hood: “This… this is too… how did she grow up like this? Didn’t you ever do a beauty treatment on her?”

Although Negris was a Bronze Dragon, his aesthetics were normal. An asymmetric face like this would not be considered beautiful, and would likely be considered ugly even among half-beasts.

Rather than not mentioning it, as soon as it was brought up Lisa felt like crying: “How could I not have? I nearly changed her face.”

Lisa said: “Although the standards of beauty vary, some people think short hair and wide lips are beautiful, some people think high noses and deep eyes are beautiful, but as long as it’s healthy, regardless of what it looks like, everyone can have their own beauty.”

“Purple Corpse, with such a big body and back muscles wider than Titan males, when she is training, a bunch of fitness enthusiasts are drooling and watching. If it weren’t for the huge size difference, they are all ready to pursue Purple Corpse.”

Thinking about the over three meters tall, very large figure of Purple Corpse, who could carry Lightning like a small horse and knead it in her arms, Negris shuddered at the thought of her pursued by a crowd of men with flowers, quickly shaking his head to get rid of the image.

“In my perception, the healthy ones are beautiful. But in the case of Xi, the healthier she is, the uglier she looks. The better the nutrition, the more conspicuous the ugliness.”

“For a while, I even sent her meat and sweets, and her face was oily, and acne emerged. She was so ugly that it was a bit scary. Later, I didn’t send her any, and her condition was better when she was gnawing on bread.” Lisa said regretfully.

Sava raised his hand and said: “I went back to look at the data and found that this situation is congenital and gets worse with age. The older the people are, the uglier they become. Many people do not live passed ten. I guess there’s something in her body that produces an ‘Ugly Element’. The healthier she is, the more ‘Ugly Elements’ are produced and the situation is more serious.”

“Is there a potion that can cure it?” Negris asked.

Sava shook his head: “No.”

Negris then turned to Ange and said: “Alright, we found the person you wanted. The Goddess of Beauty can’t cure her, and potions don’t work either, it’s time to use your Divine Technique.”

Ange nodded, extending his hand towards Xi and made a grabbing motion in the air.

Xi felt her body stiffen instantly and she couldn’t move. From her body, an ugly phantom was ‘grabbed’ out by Ange.

Without the cover of clothing, her ugliness was more apparent from the phantom. Her limbs were disproportionately shaped, her joints swollen, and some parts were bent, looking really unsightly.

Ange made a few gestures towards the phantom, suddenly asking, “What is Beauty?”

At his words, everyone around broke into a cold sweat.

“You are the Goddess of Beauty, and yet you’re asking what beauty is…” Negris said helplessly.

Quickly, Lisa interjected: “If it’s a girl, like me, like Sava, like Katie, we are all beautiful, we more or less conform to a woman’s aesthetics. But Purple Corpse is also beautiful in her own might. However, a Skeleton Zombie is not beautiful on a girl, while your golden skeleton may be very powerful, it doesn’t conform to the aesthetics of a woman.”

“Oh,” Ange nodded, signifying understanding.

His loosely clenched hand squeezed a few times, the phantom continuously changing, until it seemed like certain things were fixed in place. Ange cocked back his other fist and hit the phantom, shattering it.

Xi shook and sat down on the ground.

One second, two seconds, three… two minutes later, everyone looked at each other: “Is that it? There’s no change at all.”

“Wasn’t that supposed to be a Divine Technique?”

Everyone was confused, whispering among themselves. Xi, who had fallen and gotten back up, looked the same. There was no visible change at all.
