Si Shuo said softly, "It's not just you. The same thing happened to Meng Yun. The Thousand-faced Saintess stole part of her life force as well. But for her, it was from her muscles, bones, and blood. For you, it was your skin."
Tang Qian and her family were shocked. They truly couldn't understand what she had done to deserve the attention of the Thousand-faced Saintess.
"What was your skin like before, Tang Qian?" Si Shuo asked with a smile.
Tang Qian blushed. It was Dong Chen, standing beside her, who answered, "Qian'er is a Sea Bird Beastman. We live by the sea year-round. Nourished by the seawater and bathed in sunlight, her skin was naturally a fine, healthy, sun-kissed tone."
Si Shuo clicked her tongue. 'Her mother, Miao Juan, used to have fair, smooth, and tender skin. But Miao Juan isn't young anymore. She's pushing forty, and fine lines have started to appear on her face.'
