God of Pets

Chapter 447 Disfigurement
Teng Mingli, who amazed the Heavenly Army from her reserve days, was once known as the most beautiful military flower in the history of the Heavenly Army.

The reason she is considered the most beautiful is not only because of her stunning beauty, but also because of her overwhelming strength and talent that surpasses her peers.

Ten years ago, Fujina Rei was undoubtedly the top reserve team player, both in terms of looks and ability.

Later, when Fujimi Rei joined the regular army, she heard that many corps wanted to recruit her.

Fujimi gave up the opportunity to enter the administrative department and became an officer in a front-line corps.

Later, I heard that Teng Mingli sacrificed her life during a mission. There were many other female soldiers after her, but few could be as unforgettable as Teng Mingli.

Chen Guan often heard veterans mention Teng Mingli's name. It was usually during the men's discussion about beautiful women that the veterans would say, "You're too young. You've never seen Teng Mingli. You don't know what a real beauty is, or what kind of woman deserves to be called a genius beauty."

Fujimi Rei's self-created compound secret technique is called "Red Dust Palm," which is said to be a palm technique that can ignore defense.

After Teng Mingli's death, the Red Dust Palm technique was lost.

Chen Guan was surprised to find that Teng was actually Teng Mingli. He had just seen Teng Mingli's face, and it was no longer the genius beauty Teng Mingli of the past. At least, her once stunning face had been ruined by something.

"So Teng Mingli didn't die, but went to the Eighth King's gambling game. Could it be to restore her former appearance? But nowadays, all kinds of pills are very effective at removing scars. Removing scars is not a difficult thing. Is it necessary to gamble with the Eighth King?" Chen Guan wondered to himself.

Fujimi Rei never expected that after so many years, someone would still remember her secret technique and name. She felt a little proud, but mostly lonely.

She is no longer the star-studded Fujina Rei she once was.

“It’s enough that you know my name. If I didn’t have a chance to win, the Eighth King wouldn’t have agreed to this bet,” Fujimi Rei said.

Chen Guan didn't speak, but took out the other half of the inner core. When he held the two halves in his hands, they seemed to be attracted by some kind of gravity. The two inner cores were attracted to each other like magnets, and they fit together perfectly to become a complete inner core.

“You…” Teng Mingli stared blankly at Chen Guan, she hadn’t expected that Chen Guan would have the other half of the inner core.

“Outside the Eighth King’s Palace, the Eighth King cannot gamble in person, so his supernatural powers cannot be used. Whether you win or lose, it doesn’t really affect him much. It’s good if you win, but if you lose, Shang Qingtian will still help the Eighth King deliver the message if he wants the other half of the inner core.” Chen Guan put away the inner core, pondering how to use it.

Fujimi understood immediately. The Eighth King didn't care about her winning or losing. He let her gamble because she was the one with the best chance of winning, but losing wasn't unacceptable either way. In any case, the Eighth King could achieve his goal.

“Shang Qingtian has been at the peak of the third awakening for many years. He certainly can’t use this inner core himself. It can only be used by his descendants. Among his descendants, Shang Ziyi is the most talented. Shang Ziyi is also at the second awakening. I guess it’s for him to use, right?” Chen Guan thought to himself.

Fujimi Rei remained silent, leaving only the Spirit King's ship to advance through the wind and waves.

On the Nether Sea, a plaintive, weeping sound could be heard from time to time. It was unclear whether it came from the Nether Sea or the Nether Sea, but nothing approached the Spirit King's ship.

"Why did you go to the Eight Kings' gambling game?" Chen Guan asked Teng Mingli.

Fujina Rei simply said, "To obtain one wish."

Chen Guan didn't ask any more questions. It was only natural that Teng Mingli didn't want people to know that she was disfigured. "I've taken the inner core. I can also help you with the battle against Shang Qingtian, and I can even break your death pact with the Eighth King," Chen Guan said.

Fujimi Ryou stared at Chen Guan, then surprisingly reached out and took off her straw hat and veil, revealing a face covered with hideous scars.

"If you want anything from me, you're in for a disappointment. My appearance has long been ruined. I participated in the Eight Kings' gambling game in order to restore my looks." Teng Mingli thought that Chen Guan was just making empty promises and had some ulterior motive towards her, the former military beauty.

"Can't your injury be cured with ordinary pills?" Chen Guan knew that Teng Mingli had misunderstood him, but he didn't explain. His true purpose wasn't exactly honorable either.

Fujimi Rei put her veil and hat back on and said, "If it could be cured, I wouldn't have gone to the Eight Kings' gambling game. This was caused by the venom of an unknown poisonous herb splashing on my face. The venom has seeped into the bones of my face. There is no antidote for that venom, and it has been lingering there. Although it is not fatal, it has left my face looking like this. Even if I scrape off the skin, the new skin that grows back will still leave scars. There is no cure."

Chen nodded. Given Teng Mingli's fame at the time, if there had been a cure, she wouldn't have ended up gambling at the Eight Kings Casino.

"This scar was caused by toxins. I wonder if Mao Mao can suck the toxins out of her face," Chen Guan thought to himself.

"Perhaps I can think of a way to heal the injury on your face," Chen Guan said.

"What can you do?" Fujimi asked, incredulous yet hopeful.

Fujimi Rei was once a proud and ambitious young woman.

So when Shangguan threatened her and wanted to have her, she chose to destroy her face.

Originally, Fujimi Rei thought that even without this face, she could still make a name for herself in the Heavenly Army through her own abilities.

But she underestimated the power of her face and overestimated the world's malice towards women.

Without her stunning beauty, even though she remains as outstanding and powerful as ever, she can no longer thrive as easily as before.

Even though she was more capable than the male officers and her achievements far surpassed theirs, it was always the male officers who got promoted, and she was never promoted.

Without that face, not only did her career suffer setbacks, but it also became extremely difficult for her to make friends. People who saw her face didn't want to interact with her from the bottom of their hearts.

In the first year after her face was ruined, Fujina Rei was still full of confidence, believing that she could change everything with her own strength.

The following year, Fujimi Rei felt that life seemed much darker and more difficult.

In the third year, Fujimi Rei regretted it, regretting that she had ruined her face.

Of course, regret does not mean surrender. If she could do it all over again, Teng Mingli would not ruin her face, but would fight Shangguan Yu to the death.

Why is she punishing herself when it's clearly someone else's mistake?
