"This mirror is strange, don’t look at it." Tianmiao grabbed Lou Sha’s hand. Tianmiao already understood that the entire castle was shrouded in a thick resentment, yet it did not backlash against those nobles, for a reason. And the illusions that Lou Sha and the others saw were also influenced by someone. Or rather, there would be things appearing later which weren’t illusions. The entire castle was controlled by a witch.
This witch was hired by Duke Andophin and helped Duke Andophin harm too many people. After Andophin’s death, this witch, of course, did not end well and could even be said to have ended more miserably.
"But what about our eyebrows?" Lou Sha was a bit worried, "It’s just too ugly, isn’t it? No, I must retrieve our eyebrows. Is this also caused by too much resentment? Or is there witchcraft involved? Such an incredible thing is not something ordinary people can do."
Tianmiao couldn’t help but praise this little girl once again in her heart; she was really smart. Decisive, brave, wise, and sensitive.
"I’ll look around, there must be a key to the solution in this room." Lou Sha turned around, ready to search the room.
As Lou Sha turned, a black-clad elderly woman slowly walked in from the doorway, her cane higher than her head, holding an oil lamp, she stood in front of the two.
"If you can’t restore your appearance before leaving this room, your face will remain here, becoming a faceless woman, or kill each other to redeem your own with her appearance, oh, you could exchange it for the other’s. Blonde girl, don’t you really like this black-haired girl’s face? Now you have the chance, you can have this face you really like." The old lady smiled sinisterly, her tone almost overflowing with malice.
Her cloudy eyes swept over the two, full of confidence. These two girls would certainly be like the women who came here before, willing to give everything for their face. Or, there were quite a few girls who wanted to become beautiful, killing their fellow female companions to exchange faces. But the outcome always "surprised" them.
"I’m very looking forward to your choices. Come on, begin." The old lady’s tone was very cheerful.
Tianmiao and Lou Sha exchanged a glance. Lou Sha held Tianmiao’s hand, squeezing her palm reassuringly, indicating that she should not be afraid.
After a moment of silence, Lou Sha seemed quite restrained as she said, "Did you hide our eyebrows?"
The old lady replied smugly, "Yes, the makeup mirror can capture every appearance."
"It’s you who revealed it yourself!" Lou Sha looked up at the old lady, a fierce smile appearing on her face. She was just trying to find a solution when this solution presented itself. Nice!
"What?" The old lady was a bit puzzled, what did this mean?
The next moment she understood what Lou Sha meant.
Lou Sha had already sprung forward, her knee aiming for the old woman’s face as she snatched the cane from the old woman’s hand and mercilessly launched an attack. The angle was cunning, making Tianmiao sigh in admiration. Ah, I wonder once she’s married to Ai Ke, if he ever dared to domestically abuse her, would Ai Ke end up getting beaten like a dog? Certainly, he would.
"Stop, you shouldn’t do this, you shouldn’t do this, you should attack the girl beside you... Ah— spare me, forgive me, it hurts so much." The old lady, caught off guard, was initially baffled by the beating, reminding Lou Sha that she should attack Tianmiao instead, which resulted in even more brutal thrashing. She finally couldn’t stand it anymore and cried out for mercy loudly.
