It took Qingqing half a year to finally satisfy the abbot. As she descended the mountain, the abbot told Tian Gongzi, “She has just barely passed. As long as she always remembers my words, she can achieve great things.” Tian Gongzi thanked him and led her down the mountain. No one knew the hardships Qingqing endured during those six months, nor how much she learned. But the confidence and composure in her eyes were already enough to satisfy Tian Gongzi. “Now, let the Ghost Doctor add the final touch,” he said. That night, Tian Gongzi somehow managed to gather a hundred pure white foxes, and the Ghost Doctor found a Tianshan snow lotus from somewhere. Holding Qingqing’s hand, Tian Gongzi gently asked, “Are you afraid?” Qingqing shook her head, “I’m not afraid.” Tian Gongzi squeezed her hand a bit tighter, his voice calm as water, “I believe in you!” Qingqing didn’t even lift her eyes, saying calmly, “Ghost Doctor, let’s begin.” The Ghost Doctor said, “If the lady has made up her mind, I will join you in this gamble. If we fail, it’s a life at stake.”
Chapter 110: Face Change
Since the day she went to the nunnery, no one called her Miss Lin or Qingqing anymore because she no longer existed in the world. Her eyes were filled with encouragement as she looked at the Ghost Doctor with determination. The Ghost Doctor suddenly felt that this woman was no longer the Qingqing he knew. He said, “This method is extremely dangerous and painful; it will take twelve hours. Once we start, we cannot stop, no matter how much it hurts, you must endure.” He was informing Qingqing, not asking, because she no longer needed to be asked. Qingqing only closed her eyes, remaining silent. Her face was filled with determination, needing no more words. There was no anesthesia, as it would affect the results. Qingqing closed her eyes, allowing the hundred foxes, excited by some special drug, to scratch at her face with all their might. The pain, tearing through her heart and marrow, was something she completely disregarded. In her heart, she had secretly sworn: she must be strong! She must make everyone look up to her, and she would never let anyone pity her again.
A hundred days later!
