Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 173: Cruel Revenge1

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Cruel Revenge_1

Firstly, Xia Ruoyan was wounded by Divine Dog’s Fury which caused her spiritual power to dwindle. After talking with Ning Hao and Qin Sisi, her malicious feelings gradually subsided and she cald down.

She sat on the ground, her long pale-blue dress spreading around her like an elegant lotus flower.

Except for her ruined face.

"The year I jumped, I was twenty-four."

Xia Ruoyan’s voice was somber and lancholy, like a teardrop frozen in mory, slowly flowing through the fabric of ti.

"I was not attractive. During my four years in college, no boy had ever pursued . I had a crush on a senior, but he was tall and handso, the ideal man for many girls. I did not dare to confess my feelings to him, believing that he would never like an average-looking girl like ."

"After graduation, when I started working, I inquired about plastic surgery online and found it was quite expensive. Therefore, I scrimped and saved as much of my salary as I could. Two years later, I had accumulated a substantial amount."

"And so, with that money, I stepped into a beautician’s. The beauty clinic was called ’Floral Face’, and the owner promised that every girl who ca here would possess the beauty of a flower."

"I nervously expressed my needs. The couple who owned the place were particularly enthusiastic, custom-making a comprehensive costic surgery package for . As per their suggestion, I underwent several procedures like blepharoplasty, liposuction for a slimr face, rhinoplasty, and lip reduction. The surgeries were extrely painful, but I gritted my teeth and endured them. I could sense a brighter tomorrow beckoning . Once I beca beautiful, I would confess my feelings to that senior. Surely, he would like a girl as beautiful as a flower."

"Sadly, that day never ca. Sohow, the blood clots and inflammation from the surgeries never subsided. The silicon implant in my nose shifted, causing it to collapse. My facial lines beca awkward and stiff, and my smaller lips didn’t look better."

"I neither possessed the beauty of a flower nor maintained my previous plain look. Looking in the mirror, I nearly broke down. I appealed to the clinic’s owners for help."

"Yet, they didn’t know what went wrong either. They said that others who had undergone the sa procedures were perfectly fine, so why did it go wrong for ? They claid it must be a problem with my body constitution."

"But I didn’t care about the reason anymore. I desperately begged them to restore my original appearance, no matter the cost. But they cruelly said they couldn’t help . Although they could give my money back, they wanted

to leave and not bother them anymore."

"I was furious and threatened to sue them. But they produced the contract I had signed before the surgery, which stated that the signer agreed to bear any risks associated with the surgery. The risks were mine to bear since I had signed the contract, and there was no point in suing."

"I was utterly hopeless then. How could I face the world with my face like this? I could no longer confess to the person I liked, and no one would ever like . My life was ruined."

"In despair, I jumped from the window of the beauty clinic, hitting the hard concrete and dying instantly."

"I had thought that my death would sohow punish the clinic owners, but when the police investigated, they shifted all responsibility onto . They claid that I failed to care for my post-surgery conditions as advised, which led to the failed surgeries. With the contract I had signed, the police deed my suicide a personal decision, unrelated to anyone else."

"My family was devastated, but the ones who ruined

were still living comfortably. Their business only faced a temporary downturn, and after several months, everything returned to normal. It was as if I had never existed."

"I wasn’t willing to let it go so easily. I was determined to take revenge on myself and make that wicked couple pay."

As she reached this point, Xia Ruoyan’s calm voice began to tremble as her uncontrollable rage showed through.

Qin Sisi and Ning Hao now understood the whole story.

Thinking about Xia Ruoyan’s last sentence, Qin Sisi said, "They ruined your face, so you wanted to slash theirs off."

"Correct," Xia Ruoyan responded loudly, "They destroyed my face, my life. Why should they live comfortably? This is the punishnt they deserve."

Ning Hao was at a loss on how to judge the situation. It was often difficult to discern right from wrong.

Qin Sisi, recalling a question previously posed by Ye You, queried Xia Ruoyan. "I still have a question. How did you possess so much spiritual power to control their bodies? Normal ghosts don’t have this ability."

Xia Ruoyan’s eyes flickered as she looked at Qin Sisi and replied, "You indeed are remarkable. Telling you won’t do any harm. I absorbed the spiritual powers of two other ghosts, enhancing my own."

Qin Sisi frowned and asked, "All for the sake of revenge?"

Xia Ruoyan nodded in confirmation, "Yes. While ordinary ghosts can possess bodies, they cannot freely control them. In order to successfully slash off their faces, I needed to have sufficient spiritual power to control their bodies."

From this, Ning Hao could more or less determine the circumstances of the case. He looked at Xia Ruoyan and said, "So that night, you possessed them one after another and cut off the other person’s face."

A cruel smile appeared on Xia Ruoyan’s face, "That’s right. I first induced them into a trance with the Hypnotic Charm, then possessed the wife and cut off her husband’s face. After that, I possessed the husband and severed his wife’s face. I watched them from the side as they bled and moaned in pain until they died."

Xia Ruoyan spoke lightly, as if narrating a commonplace event.

Ning Hao couldn’t help but blurt out, "Don’t you think what you did was too brutal?"

"Brutal?" Xia Ruoyan was agitated, "Weren’t they brutal? They ruined my face, my life! If we’re talking about brutality, they were brutal to

first. I was just returning the favor."

Ning Hao wanted to say sothing else, but was stopped by Qin Sisi.

Recently, Qin Sisi had encountered nurous ghosts. Those that remained in the world were all fueled by their intense obsessions.

Greed, obsession, resentnt, and anger, all resulted from these obsessions.

When their hearts were filled with such obsessions, discerning right from wrong often beca blurred. In their minds, only the unresolved disputes and grievances from their lives remained.
