Fang Wuji was already mocked by others for over twenty years. Even if he became uglier, he didn’t really mind it.
In any case, life was like this. Because of his face, he could only depend on those erotic novels to vent his bodily needs.
Originally, Fang Wuji was as calm as an old monk that was meditating. But after seeing the shocked expressions from everyone, he frowned. When Ma Zhang also started to marvel in admiration, Fang Wuji gulped down a mouthful of saliva due to nervousness and wanted to look for a mirror.
“Teacher Fang, for you!”
Li Ziqi took out a palm-sized western mirror from her bag. After she opened the lid, she passed it to Fang Wuji.
Fang Wuji took the mirror and when he was about to look at his reflection, he suddenly felt afraid. It was like he was standing at the fork of life. He didn’t know in which direction he should go.
(What if I really became handsome?)
(How should I live my future life?)
“Teacher Fang, quickly take a look!”
Lu Zhiruo urged. She was waiting to hear Fang Wuji praising and thanking her teacher. However, she wasn’t idle. She took out a watermelon and chopped it with her hand.
Ka!
The large watermelon was split into a few slices. The papaya girl took the largest slice and passed it to Sun Mo. “Teacher, please have a melon!”
Sun Mo waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t want it. He hadn’t washed his hands yet.
“Teacher Fang, don’t stand there in a daze. It’s almost time for your examination.”
Gu Xiuxun reminded him.
“Hehe, I’ve almost forgotten about that. Even if I became handsome, how much better could I be? Probably I would only look a little better. I was actually worried about this? How ridiculous!”
Fang Wuji shook his head and laughed self-mockingly. He then put the mirror before his face. After that, he was completely stunned.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Who the hell is this handsome devil reflected in the mirror?
This was a western mirror shipped over from the faraway western lands. It was manufactured from mercury using a secret art and could reflect a person’s appearance clearly.
The nobles of the eastern lands would all have a mirror large enough to reflect their entire body, and they took pride in that. Every time they had to freshen up and groom themselves, they would look at the clear reflection in the mirror. Just by doing that, even their moles and accumulated fats would seem even more noble and classier.
Pak!
After a moment of being stunned, Fang Wuji lifted his hand and slapped himself forcefully. The strength was so great that his head turned almost 90 degrees. He could almost go and audition to take part in filming a ghost show.
“Teacher Fang!”
Gu Xiuxun was shocked and hurriedly shouted, wanting to help Fang Wuji regain his senses.
Ma Zhang did things even more cleanly. He lunged toward Fang Wuji with an arrow step and grabbed his collar. He then waved his hands and delivered three slaps to Fang Wuji.
“What are you doing?”
Sun Mo was shocked. (Could Fang Wuji be a pervert that likes to abuse himself?)
“Teacher Sun, you have no idea about this. There’s a scholar in Song Country who successfully passed the imperial examination and actually went crazy due to being overly joyful. My action is to save him.”
Ma Zhang explained while observing Fang Wuji.
Honestly speaking, if someone suddenly discovered that they became extremely handsome, they would be deeply immersed in their memories, right?
Sigh, if he was so handsome when he was young, how could the campus queen of his alma mater be snatched away by that school senior?
“Teacher, allow me!”
Sun Xiaoliu rolled out his sleeves and spat a mouthful of saliva onto his hands ruthlessly. He then glared at Fang Wuji and was preparing to act.
“…”
Li Ziqi was speechless. (Are you preparing to save someone or kill someone?)
Actually, Sun Xiaoliu wasn’t the only one. The other male doctors also almost went crazy. Who wouldn’t want to be a little more good-looking than what they currently were in this world?
Have you not heard of Yan Xiaoliu?
That was a famous loafer who managed to sleep with the number one courtesan of Bianjing without spending a single cent. In fact, he even got her to pay for his living expenses.
Whose woman was Li Shishi?
She was the emperor’s woman!
The emperor who stood at the absolute peak of the food chain was given a green hat to wear. How handsome was the cuckolder?
Sun Xiaoliu and the others felt that Fang Wuji was not in any way inferior.
“Little Six, in the past, didn’t you hate yourself for having the same name ‘Xiaoliu’ but your surname wasn’t ‘Yan’? Now, if you beg Grandmaster Sun, you would be able to change your name soon.”
A colleague teased.
Sun Xiaoliu’s emotions were stirred. He directly broke into a run that transmitted into a slide and ended with a kneel, stopping before Sun Mo. He then kowtowed heavily.
Bang!
“Teacher Sun, please do the facial surgery for me too!”
Sun Xiaoliu sincerely pleaded. After thinking about it, he added another sentence. “Money is no problem!”
(Even if money is a problem, this daddy will at most work five years for Sun Mo for free. It should be enough to pay the cost of the surgery, right? Wait a minute, after I become handsome, I can just simply find a rich lady and marry her. Wouldn’t getting money this way be even quicker?)
(As long as I can fill my belly, ‘soft rice’ is rice too!)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Sun Xiaoliu +500. Friendly (610/1,000).
“Little Six, what are you doing?”
Ma Zhang perspired and berated. Subtle Words were activated. “Stand up, scram!”
“Ah?”
Sun Xiaoliu started. Under the illumination of the great teacher halo, he stood up. After that, he had an ashamed look on his face as he apologized to Sun Mo. “Sorry, I fell into a daze!”
“Teacher Sun, you don’t have to blame yourself. Everyone would love to look beautiful.”
Sun Mo understood Sun Xiaoliu’s feelings.
In the modern era, not only women were doing plastic surgery, but men did so as well. When one turned on the television, regardless of male or female, the faces there were all plastic.
Ma Zhang didn’t continue to scold his disciple because honestly speaking, even his heart was moved.
There was a saying in ancient times – the number one criteria for a man to attract a woman was ‘good looks’.
“I…is this me?”
Fang Wuji rigidly turned his head toward Sun Mo and asked in disbelief. It was like the scene before him was a beautiful soap bubble that would be broken with a single prick.
“It’s you!”
Sun Mo assured him.
“How long will I be able to maintain this face? A year? No, I would already be satisfied if the duration was three months.”
Fang Wuji was filled with hope as he stared at Sun Mo. He was like a naive child filled with anticipation while waiting for Santa’s gift.
“As long as you lived. Your current face will age together with your body as time passes.”
Sun Mo smiled. He was also quite happy as he looked at the joyful Fang Wuji. This feeling of pride, was this the feeling of being a world-savior?
“…”
Fang Wuji touched his face with one of his hands. After that, he actually started sobbing.
“Ai~”
Ma Zhang sighed and patted Fang Wuji on his shoulder.
The other doctors also felt the same. After all, who had never been rejected by women before?
In this world, the vast majority of guys had average looks. Even a girl rated 3/10 could snort in disdain toward you if you were ugly.
Upon thinking of this, the group with Sun Xiaoliu in the lead suddenly turned to Sun Mo.
There was no need to speak about Gu Xiuxun. However, the two female students of Sun Mo were truly a piece of art. One was gentle and refined, elegant and intelligent. The other was naive, had huge papayas and was kind…
Naturally, the most important thing was that they were both beautiful. After they turned eighteen, they would definitely have magnificence unmatched in their generation.
Damn, Sun Mo was everyone’s public enemy!
If Sun Mo could receive loathing points, the number of loathing points he received right now would be off the charts, and the prestige connections between him and them would turn into ‘hatred’.
After hearing Ma Zhang’s sigh, Sun Mo turned and looked at him. (So, you are also someone with a story to tell!)
“Teacher Fang, congratulations on obtaining a new life!”
Ma Zhang congratulated him. At this moment, he was not a 5-star great teacher. He was just an old man who hoped that Fang Wuji could truly obtain happiness.
“Thanks!”
After Fang Wuji thanked him, he walked toward Sun Mo. He thought for a while but didn’t know what he should say. Actually, there were simply too many roiling emotions in his heart.
Hence, he knelt and directly kowtowed nine times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Fang Wuji +1,000. Respect (1,210/10,000).
“Teacher Fang, I will still say the same thing. A person’s worth is determined by his talent and lofty soul. Appearance is just an external thing!”
Sun Mo helped Fang Wuji up.
“I understand!”
Fang Wuji nodded heavily. “Actually, after I got this face, I suddenly missed my broad chin from before.”
“…”
Sun Xiaoliu really wanted to ask if there was a need for Fang Wuji to say such despicable words?
“Do you want my teacher to change it back? In any case, it wouldn’t be a difficult thing to do.”
The naive Lu Zhiruo asked, instantly causing Fang Wuji to feel embarrassed.
“I misspoke.”
Fang Wuji thanked her. After that, he seriously looked at Sun Mo. “However, I have a new comprehension about life now.”
“Alright, let’s speak later if you have anything to say. I think it’s about time that your match starts.”
Sun Mo reminded everyone. It was about time to return to the battle dojo.
“Mn!”
Fang Wuji drew in a deep breath and walked toward the dojo.
“I feel that his steps are now filled with more confidence.”
Lu Zhiruo bit her melon. The Fang Wuji now had a visible upgrade in terms of his aura.
“He’s also much more handsome than before!”
Li Ziqi teased. After that, she turned her head and glanced at Sun Mo. She then involuntarily laughed. “However, I love someone with natural good looks like our teacher more.”
“Completely agreed!”
The papaya girl nodded seriously.
“I second it!”
Gu Xiuxun also laughed. She felt that the little sunny egg and papaya girl were both very interesting.
Swish~
After hearing this, Sun Xiaoliu and the others looked over. The three girls each had their own styles. After that, they all felt like strangling Sun Mo to death.
As for Sun Mo, he was already walking toward the battle dojo. He wanted to wash his hands first.
“Sun Mo, wait for me!”
Gu Xiuxun called out and chased after him. (Should I do facial surgery too? Given my relationship with Sun Mo, he definitely wouldn’t reject me, right?)
Lu Zhiruo stretched her legs and followed them. But after walking a few steps, she suddenly cried out and halted.
“W…what’s wrong?”
Li Ziqi was somewhat nervous because earlier she felt that she had spoken something wrong about loving someone like their teacher with natural good looks.
If one pondered into her words deeply, it might bring huge trouble to Sun Mo.
“Could it be that Teacher Gu has fallen in love with our teacher?”
The papaya girl turned and asked Li Ziqi.
“You only realized that now?”
Li Ziqi stretched out her fingers and rapped the papaya girl’s head while sighing with relief in her heart. (Very good, they all feel that the ‘love’ I talked about earlier was the ‘love’ toward parents.)
“Ah?”
Lu Zhiruo was badly frightened.
Pak!
Li Ziqi rapped the papaya girl’s forehead and reminded in a low voice. “Don’t tell others.”
“I won’t say anything!”
Lu Zhiruo hugged her head with both her hands. “Also, stop hitting my head or I might become stupid.”
…
Fang Wuji walked to the entrance of the battle dojo and heard the main examiner repeating the warning again.
“Fang Wuji, please get on the stage quickly or you will be treated as having forfeited!”
Fang Wuji touched his chin and felt a little apprehensive.
“Teacher Fang, I’m a personal student of Sun Mo, Great Teacher Sun. I have something I want to give to you.”
Tantai Yutang who was long waiting in a shadowy corner quickly walked over and passed the image-recording stone over. “Oh right, Teacher Fang, your opponent for the first match is Song Lang. I will congratulate Teacher Fang in advance for your victory!”
