Quick Wear: My hair changed color, and I became stronger

Chi Li opened the window, stuck her head out, and breathed in the fresh air, and the feeling of suffocation gradually disappeared.

Outside the window you can see a garden where several people in black gowns are moving things.

"What is that? I can't see clearly. Why does it look a bit like a coffin?" Chi Li squinted her eyes and looked carefully.

Chi Li didn't look away until the few people disappeared around the corner.

"Maybe I saw it wrongly?" Chi Li didn't take it to heart.

I frowned and smelled the smell, and finally found the culprit at the corner leading to the bathroom.

Behind a pot of wilted green ivy lies a ceramic ash box with ancient patterns painted on its surface, such as Buddhist scriptures and mythical beasts.

The strong fragrance came from the ash box. The closer Chi Li got to it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She took out the ash box and threw it into the trash can while retching.

After the lid of the trash can was closed, the fragrance was isolated, and Chi Li ran to the window and took a long breath.

"I almost suffocated." Chi Li said with a pale face.

After she felt a little more comfortable, she realized that He Ya's badge was still in her palm.

The badge is round in shape, with delicate carvings on the edges and a deep bronze background.

The central pattern is of two girls holding hands. The two girls have graceful figures, fluttering skirts, and their hair is finely depicted, with every strand clearly visible.

Something strange happened. Chi Li suddenly saw the two girls in the badge, who were originally smiling innocently, with terrifying curves on their lips and blood seeming to flow from their eyes.

"What the hell, what is that?" Chi Li was instantly horrified, her hand felt like it was burned, and she threw the badge away.

The badge landed on the thick, uneven carpet with a dull thud.

"System, did you see it?" Chi Li's muscles were as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, and she asked in a trembling voice.

What did you see? I don’t know.

"Is this a real badge?" Chi Li calmed down and picked up the badge suspiciously.

The badge returned to its original state, and the two girls were still holding hands with innocent smiles.

Chi Li couldn't help but wonder if she was dazzled, but the horrifying scene just now was clearly imprinted in her mind.

"System, can you please stop playing dumb? Is this badge not serious enough? Answer me honestly." Chi Li asked seriously.

The system pretended to be dead and remained silent.

"Then let me ask you another question. Is this a proper world suitable for love?" Chi Li asked again.

She was still met with silence in response.

"System, you're as good as dead." Chi Li said angrily, "What about your promise to help when needed?"

The system finally spoke: [It's not necessary yet.]

Chi Li sat on the bed angrily. She clutched the badge and thought, could the heroine want to harm her?

"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.

"Miss, it's time for dinner." The voice of the older maid came into the room.

"Okay." Chi Li responded and opened the door.

The maid peeked inside and exclaimed in horror, "Why is the ash box gone?"

"Do you have X-ray vision?" Chi Li asked.

Can you see it behind the green radish?

"Miss, I don't know what happened. The ash box was placed there well, how could it disappear? It is used to drive away ghosts. Please don't punish me." The maid looked terrified and said a long string of words with trembling lips.

"What are you driving away? A ghost?" Chi Li said in disbelief.

The maid fell to her knees and cried, "I'm sorry, miss, it really wasn't me."

"Don't cry, it's still here. I put it somewhere else." Chi Li said.

Seeing that Chi Li had no intention of punishing her, the maid stood up, wiped her tears and left.

"System, what are you doing? I'm afraid of ghosts!" Chi Li collapsed.

【Don't panic, I'm here to help you, right? 】

Hearing this, Chi Li felt a little relieved, "That's right, I can still live after I die, it's okay."

The system remained silent. Chi Li had a bad feeling. She said cautiously, "Killed by a ghost, can't he be resurrected?"

The system fell silent, and Chi Li was heartbroken.

Chi Li thought she was doomed, but she unexpectedly calmed down.

She walked downstairs with unsteady steps and sat down at the dining table with lifeless eyes.

"What's wrong with you? You look so bad?" He Ya's voice broke the silence.

Chi Li looked up at her, and He Ya's worried expression didn't seem fake.

"It's okay, it's okay," she said.

After waiting for a long time, the dining table was still empty, and Chi Li couldn't help but look towards the kitchen.

"Father and Mother must have something to talk about. Are you hungry?" He Ya asked.

It's no wonder she was so observant; Chi Li's intentions were simply too obvious.

Chi Li forced a smile and said, "A little."

He Ya seemed surprised by her good attitude and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, footsteps were finally heard at the stairs.

The middle-aged man was wearing a dark grey gown, and he was slightly overweight. His hair was neatly combed back, his face had a slightly messy stubble, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed suppressed anger.

The woman was wearing a royal blue cheongsam with a black shawl over it, and a pearl hairpin pinned to her carefully combed bun. She pursed her lips, her face was pale, and the fine lines around her eyes were made even deeper by anger.

[The heroine's father Jin Zhenyuan and mother He Yuyan are online. ]

"The heroine has her mother's surname? Not bad!" Chi Li said in her heart.

Jin Zhenyuan sat in the main seat. He looked at Chi Li and said, "How was your day?"

"?"

Chi Li answered dazedly: "Pretty good?"

He Yuyan sat down next to Jin Zhenyuan, threw her shawl over the back of the chair, and had a cold expression.

The servants respectfully brought the dishes to the table.

Jin Zhenyuan said calmly, "Let's eat."

The atmosphere at the table was not good, and the only sound was the sound of chopsticks accidentally hitting dishes.

Chi Li mechanically ate her food, her mouth drooping like chewing wax. She asked in her heart, "System? I'm so scared! I just remembered, who am I? The heroine's sister?"

【You are the adopted daughter of the Jin family. 】

Chi Li secretly looked at the people at the dinner table, especially He Ya.

He Ya was very nervous throughout the whole process, and she didn't even dare to look up, with her face almost buried in the bowl.

"Why adopted me? It seems that these two elders of the Jin family don't love their daughters very much." Chi Li asked in her heart.

Her first reaction was that the Jin family adopted her to find a playmate for their daughter, but now seeing He Ya's expression, she gave up the idea.

【What do you think? 】

"System, are you a man?" Chi Li asked impatiently.

【hehe. 】

The system didn't cooperate, so Chi Li could only think about going to talk to He Ya after dinner.

And that strange badge should be returned to He Ya. She can’t afford it.
