Chapter 1035: Heaven Sent You to Rescue Me
“These two boxes of cream will last two months. I’ll give you more after you finish going through them.”
Upon hearing this, Sis Ge’s large eyes sparkled with joy. Heavens, could it be that this young lady was a little fairy sent down by Heaven? Otherwise, how would she know that she fretted over this rough face every day?
“I’m telling you, this beautifying cream isn’t all that valuable, so don’t hesitate to use it. For young girls like you, as long as you take slight care to improve your skin, it will immediately be able to take a turn for the better.”
As if seeing a relative, Sis Ge clutched Qiao Mu’s hand and prattled, “Goodness, it’s really too great to have met you! Let me tell you, I’ve been so distressed recently every time I look at myself in the mirror. My skin gets dry and tanned since we have to carry out missions in the sun and wind every day. Even if I was able to nourish it for some time after great difficulty, we would have to set out again! Last time, I heard that the adventurer’s auction house sold a type of skincare dew at an astronomical price, but it was truly too expensive. How could I afford it!”
“What skincare dew, it’s no use at all, I’m telling you. Also, don’t randomly apply stuff to your face. A lot of expensive skin treatment products that say skincare and beautifying and the like contain toxins that haven’t been purged. So your skin will only get worse after you use it. I completely concocted these two boxes of beautifying cream by hand, so I guarantee its efficacy.”
Chitter…
Chatter…
Once the two young ladies started chatting about skin treatment, it was simply like they had encountered an intimate friend whom they hadn’t met in eight hundred years, and the conversation went on without end once they started.
The boorish men surrounding them could not help but stare at them blankly while their mouths twitched repeatedly.
What was the situation? Wasn’t it just issuing and accepting a mission? How did the scene change so suddenly that the two young ladies were now chatting together about beauty treatments!
That had absolutely nothing to do with the mission, right…
Besides, even though this little girl was younger than Sis Ge by two to three years, she acted old and experienced, often saying “young ladies like you.”
Only after exchanging their names and chatting there for a while did the two young ladies then part reluctantly.
As Captain Gao and the others headed toward their temporary accommodations, Sis Ge kept praising Miss Qiao profusely, lamenting how she regretted that they hadn’t met earlier!
Beside her, the fat aunty, Hua Gu, couldn’t resist chortling, “Indeed, I could tell. You two just clicked in three sentences, and it was like you could talk on forever!”
If Captain Gao hadn’t told Sis Ge with a twitching mouth that it was getting dark and that they should also go back to rest, as well as prepare the tools for their trek into the forest tomorrow, then Sis Ge would still be chatting with Qiao Mu.
“Hey, Sis Ge, look at what the little lady gave you in the sack!” Meanwhile, the young chap, Ah-Gong, huddled near Sis Ge and asked curiously.
Only then did Sis Ge look down at the heavy sack in her hands. After opening it, several heads huddled over at the same time to take a peek inside.
“Wow! Beef, pork, and chicken legs! So much meat!” Sis Ge yelled, so exuberant that she wanted to fly.
Oh my Heavens!
Miss Qiao must be a fairy that Heaven sent down to save her!
Otherwise, how would Miss Qiao know that she harped on everyday about eating meat. She had been looking forward to it for so long.
Because eating yam every single day had made it become so tasteless!
As Qiao Mu walked along, her mouth involuntarily carried a faint smile. Even she herself didn’t notice that she was in a very good mood at the moment.
Her memories couldn’t help but float far off.
Before her eyes, a dim scene of old appeared, with the scent of death lingering around the forest.
