This lasted for a few minutes; He Xi's entire body was covered in black filth, and it had a nauseating stench.
However, she felt her aching and weak organs lighten up.
He Xi quickly washed the filth from her body with the spiritual spring water. She felt refreshed and re-energized. It was as if she had been reborn.
Could it be that not just the space, but the spring was upgraded, too?
Was this the internal purge and cleanse that they spoke of in the legends? He Xi was ecstatic.
She glanced at herself as she put her damp clothes back on and was stunned.
In her previous life, He Xi was beautiful; however, she was nothing compared to the reflection that she saw in the spring.
The reflection in the spring had fair skin and gentle eyes that glistened.
The lips were now hydrated and pouted, like a soundless invite.
He Xi touched her face, stunned. The reflection in the water followed suit. She was fragile and beautiful.
Every sentence that had been used to describe ancient beauties seemed to be made for her.
Gosh! Is this Nalan He Xi's true face?
He Xi's eyes widened. She felt that her brain had frozen up.
This… this was no ugly girl. It was a world-class beauty!
How did the Nalan family mistreat a girl to change her from a beauty into a malnourished, ordinary-looking girl?
He Xi took a deep breath and took another look at the beauty in the spring. She could not help but wonder. Maybe she should have thanked them for their torment. Else, Nalan Hexi might not have lived long enough for her to take over her body.
In her memory—even though the second generation of the Nalan family were rather good-looking, none of them were as good-looking as her.
If she stepped out in this appearance, it would either create a lot of commotion or a lot of trouble. People came for her tripod in her previous appearance, not to mention the way she looked now… and that the Nalan Residence might try to get rid of her—an illegitimate child.
At this thought, He Xi took out her disguise props and put them on her face.
Her face would cause a lot of trouble, especially since she did not have her abilities to protect herself. This was definitely not something she wanted to see.
After a few moments, He Xi was done with her makeover. She looked into the spring, and before her was the same ordinary face that she had before.
"Well done!" He Xi snapped her fingers in a good mood. No girl wanted to be ugly.
Apart from the space upgrade and the change in her looks, she also found that her body systems had recovered.
