Chapter 378: If You Had No Feet, Would You Wear Shoes?
Forget about where the Spirit Pearl was!
Jiangnan knew everything about Victoria's situation clearly!
He even knew her parents' phone numbers and what her dog at home was called!
Nightingale glanced at Jiangnan, then looked toward the room.
She couldn't help but shudder.
Wow!
Jiangnan was ruthless!
What methods had he used to make a Diamond-rank powerhouse confess everything!
Jiangnan stuffed the Spirit Pearl into his pocket, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"I'm gonna reach Gold!"
The Spirit Pearl was in hand. Even though he didn't know what Spirit Technique it was,
a Diamond-rank one couldn't be bad!
Having something to use was good enough!
He couldn't help but look at Nightingale. "Aren't I awesome?"
Nightingale's eyes dimmed, and she quickly turned away, afraid Jiangnan might see the birthmark on her face.
"You're awesome, you're awesome!"
Jiangnan grinned. "Given your outstanding performance and the tiny little bit of contribution you made in the battle..."
"I've decided to reward you a little!"
[From Nightingale: Resentment +333]
A tiny little bit?
Are you sure it's just a tiny little bit?
I fought Victoria for such a long time!
I even got injured!
"Here," Jiangnan took Nightingale's small hand and slipped something into it.
She opened it and saw
a single White Rabbit toffee lying quietly in her palm.
[From Nightingale: Resentment +666]
This is the reward?
A piece of candy?
Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?
Might as well not have given it!
Despite her anger, Nightingale ate the candy anyway.
No point in wasting it!
Jiangnan chuckled, then turned her by the shoulders.
"Come on! Let me take a good look!"
Nightingale resisted, leaning back to avoid his gaze.
"Don't... don't look! It's ugly!"
At that moment, the red birthmark on Nightingale's pretty face had completely vanished!
Her skin was delicate and fair, her features as exquisite as the most perfect gift the heavens could give.
The Peerless Beauty Pill hadn't been wasted!
Jiangnan stroked his chin, frowning deeply, lost in thought.
"How come you're looking more and more like a girl?"
Nightingale's expression froze, then her lips pouted.
Mist gathered in her big eyes, and crystalline tears slid down her cheeks.
She kept wiping her tears with the back of her hand.
"Wuwu... you still say that! Wuwu... am I really that ugly?"
"I told you not to take it off! But you insisted! Wuwu..."
Nightingale cried pitifully, pounding Jiangnan's chest with her little fists as she sobbed.
She couldn't even bring herself to hit hard—she was so upset.
The birthmark on her face had always been with her.
Since childhood, in the eyes of her classmates, she had been an oddity, a freak.
Always the one being laughed at.
So she had put on a mask to hide herself.
She hadn't taken it off in who knows how long.
But now Jiangnan had taken it off and was staring without blinking.
How could Nightingale bear it?
Jiangnan panicked too.
Why was she crying? This... this wasn't necessary!
He couldn't handle this!
"What do you mean ugly? Look at yourself!"
He pulled out a small mirror and held it up to Nightingale.
Still wiping her tears, Nightingale glanced at the girl in the mirror.
She froze.
Who was this beautiful girl in the mirror?
Was it her? This... this...
Where was the birthmark?
Nightingale forgot to cry, touching her face in disbelief.
Heavens! How was this possible?
Was it that piece of candy from just now?
A wave of intense joy filled her heart.
So that was why Jiangnan had given her the candy? To...
At this moment, Nightingale looked at Jiangnan with immense gratitude.
Like a huge boulder that had been pressing on her heart for over twenty years was suddenly lifted.
"Thank you! I..."
Jiangnan smiled brightly. "There's nothing to feel inferior about. What matters isn't appearance—it's this!"
He patted his own chest—over his heart.
[From Nightingale: Resentment +666]
She couldn't help but look disgusted.
Sure enough!
This guy really didn't care about looks at all, did he?
How obsessed are you with those two bits of flesh!
"Pfft! Shameless!"
Jiangnan: ???
Why was she mad at him again?
This was the first time I've seriously encouraged someone!
I was talking about the heart! The heart, I tell you!
Just then, Nightingale bit her lip, suddenly pursed her mouth, and leaned in to kiss Jiangnan's cheek.
Jiangnan was horrified.
He teleported ten meters away in an instant, and Nightingale kissed nothing but air.
"What... what are you doing? Were you just trying to kiss me?"
"You're a grown man, isn't that disgusting?"
"I knew it! I knew something was off about you!"
[From Nightingale: Resentment +1000]
At this point, her face was as dark as could be.
What's off is you!
She gritted her teeth so hard they squeaked.
"Go die, you big idiot!"
"I'm going to take a shower!"
Jiangnan let out a long breath.
That scared me! My little heart is pounding!
I'll have to watch out for him from now on.
Too terrifying!
Nightingale went to shower.
Jiangnan looked at the villa, which had been shot to pieces, and his face stiffened.
"The heating fee was wasted. Damn it... I wonder if I can get a refund?"
So he immediately started gathering things from the rooms.
Who knew if the villa would collapse in the next second?
...
Meanwhile, Nightingale was showering.
Standing in front of the mirror, she was beaming, admiring her own face. She even twirled a little.
"I'm so pretty! Hehe!"
"Mirror, mirror, who's the prettiest girl in the world?"
"Crack!"
A crack suddenly ran down the bathroom wall, and the mirror stuck to it shattered into pieces.
Nightingale: (≖_≖)
[From Nightingale...]
Better hurry up and wash, or she'd be embarrassingly buried in here.
Ten minutes later.
"Jiangnan! Bring me a change of clothes! They're in my small suitcase!"
"Ah, got it!"
Jiangnan grabbed a set of clothes and walked to the bathroom door.
Inside, Nightingale took a deep breath, as if she had made an important decision.
She opened the door directly.
"Jiangnan! Look at me!"
Jiangnan was startled by the shout. "What's up?"
He turned to look at Nightingale and nearly popped his eyeballs out.
∑(❍口❍lll)
"Pfft!"
This...
How was this possible!
It defied science!
At that moment, Nightingale covered her face, blushing so hard she might catch fire.
She spoke timidly. "Th-this... now do you know I'm a girl?"
Nightingale never dreamed
that one day she would use such an extreme method just to prove to someone that she was a girl!
Jiangnan was completely stunned.
His worldview shattered in that instant.
How was this different from what the books taught!
"You're actually a girl?!"
Nightingale: !!!
Still saying "actually"?
You're probably the last person in the whole world to find out!
She didn't have time to complain. She snatched the clothes Jiangnan had brought.
Jiangnan, meanwhile, stared blankly, sinking into deep self-doubt.
Nightingale: "Mm... there's no undershirt?"
Jiangnan scratched his head. "What do you need that for?"
Nightingale was frantic. "I'm a girl!"
"Then let me ask you a question—if you had no feet, would you wear shoes?"
Nightingale tilted her head, puzzled. "No?"
Jiangnan spread his hands. "Then why the hell would you wear an undershirt?"
[From Nightingale: Resentment +1000]
[From...]
Your logic is way too sound!
What a vivid and fitting analogy!
The only thing about me that never changes is my murderous intent toward you!
