Free Web NovelChapter 723: Chapter 722: Poisoned by My Own Ugliness
The three shockingly ugly female guests met in the narrow restroom.
They stared at each other, unsure who exactly looked worse.
Mu Qiu covered her mouth, trying hard to suppress the twitching of her facial muscles, while Guan Yu leaned against the wall, her face wrinkled like a smelly towel left fermenting for half a month.
As for Shu Ran, her expression was as grim and embarrassed as a Water Ghost, the three of them forming a standoff, each keeping as far away from the others as possible.
A prolonged silence settled in the restroom.
Their accompanying cameramen and crew were crowded at the entrance of the restrooms, photographing their faces.
There was no stopping the suppressed laughter.
After who knows how long, Shu Ran spoke first, gritting her teeth with a mocking sneer, "Who just said I was ugly? Look at yourselves, you’re plenty ugly too."
"We’re all ugly," Guan Yu waved her hand, "but there’s a ranking, and you’re the standout."
"Huh, do you think you look any better?"
The sarcastic female celebrity and the bold, straightforward one seemed ready to start a spat, so Mu Qiu quickly intervened, "No need to rush at each other, there’s a mirror right there. Just uncover it and see for yourselves."
As expected, the production team did this on purpose; the mirror in the restroom was still sealed with foam.
Just now, Shu Ran had been picking at the foam.
She took two steps forward, trying her best to avoid looking at Shu Ran’s face, reaching out to pick at the foam.
Guan Yu joined in, while Shu Ran snorted coldly and continued picking at it too.
Thankfully, although the production team was both sneaky and quirky, they still had some conscience and didn’t permanently seal the restroom mirror or cover it with other materials. Once the foam was picked off, the mirror inside was revealed.
Clear and bright, the three of their faces were clearly reflected inside.
Guan Yu: "... Gosh, we really are ugly!"
Shu Ran: "Which makeup artist did this?! Where’s the makeup remover oil?! I need makeup remover!"
Mu Qiu: "Oh my, this ugliness has reached deep into my heart!"
Those three faces, made up in a uniquely hideous yet equally shocking manner, really put the skills of the makeup artist to the test.
The funds probably spent on hiring makeup artists for this episode were much higher than usual.
Looking at the three faces, she felt relieved: "I guess I’m not the ugliest."
Guan Yu stubbornly said: "Sometimes people need a little self-awareness; please take a good look at your own face."
Shu Ran abruptly turned her head: "What do you mean? Are you saying I’m the ugliest? There’s no way I’m the ugliest!"
Mu Qiu paused, thinking that without the perfect makeup as armor, female celebrities become overly suspicious and paranoid, but one thing was true.
She agreed, "Sister Shu Ran, you really aren’t the ugliest."
Then she focused her gaze on the person standing in the middle in the mirror.
Guan Yu: "... What is that supposed to mean?"
With someone even uglier than her present, Shu Ran calmed down, and her voice steadied.
"Guan Yu, this makeup—you can’t blame me for telling you—are you not on good terms with your makeup artist? They’ve put the two least popular colors on your face, staring at it too long makes me dizzy."
The sarcastic digs were spot-on, and even Mu Qiu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Guan Yu.
Guan Yu glared defiantly: "Can you call this ugly? I call it unique!"
"It’s certainly unique, that green eyeshadow looks like a patch of wild seaweed growing on your eyelids. And that mouth, in deep purple, is it so toxic that you were poisoned by your own ugliness?"
Shu Ran’s sharp tongue was in full force, causing the veins on Guan Yu’s neck to bulge.
"Pfft—"
Mu Qiu couldn’t hold it any longer, she squatted down covering her mouth, her shoulders shaking, tears of laughter rolling down yet without making a sound.
Everyone knew that when you laugh to the point of only having breath left, it’s no joke.
Aside from the two bickering like roosters still standing, everyone else, including the cameramen, were either squatting or collapsing in laughter, unable to stand straight.
The bullet screen was in the same condition.
[I can’t handle it anymore, my mouth is already open as wide as it can go]
[Hahahahahahahaha it’s really so ugly it’s affecting me!]
[Looking from Mu Qiu’s perspective when Guan Yu turned around, I understood what a heart attack feels like]
[Guan Yu, at first glance, I thought someone had beaten her up!]
[Hahahahahahahahaha, guys, the jokes are getting sharper!]
[Compared to them, Brother Huai’s face is actually still the best-looking /dog head]
[Yangyang! Come here! Here, you’re not the ugliest!]
[This is so ugly even my dog started barking]
[Goodness, is Mu Qiu representing everyone’s bodily reactions on this show? Hahaha]
[This outdid being in qipao on a donkey, Shu Ran’s face turned green/sister I have no ill intentions.jpg]
[So ugly it’s shocking, so ugly it shakes the heavens, so ugly it makes me physically uncomfortable]
[Where’s Brother Cheng!? I want to see Brother Cheng!]
[I want to see Cheng Zhirang in ugly makeup! Quick, get Brother Cheng out!]
[Does Brother Cheng know he’s been given ugly makeup? Is he hiding somewhere right now?]
[Please, can everyone gather in this restroom to compare who’s the ugliest? Then let us meet that makeup artist]
[What is this episode about anyway? I’m still confused]
[Relax, they’re more confused than you]
[I really don’t want to start my morning with laughter that will attract my mother’s wrath hahahaha]
[I’ve laughed so much I’m flying, there really needs to be a Brother Huai in this!]
[Is it possible to be poisoned by one’s own ugliness? Shu Ran is getting more sharp-tongued hahaha]
[Please debate first, I need to step away from the keyboard to laugh wholeheartedly]
[I want to know who the guests are this episode; who got so unlucky to land in this episode hahahahahaha]
[What is the address Mu Qiu talked about? Did the production team assign them to go find guests at different locations?]
[To ugly people, observing too closely is a kind of cruelty; the masters really didn’t lie to me /dog head]
[This makeup is really horrendous, the red and purple palette is unbearable to look at]
[In ancient times, there were beauty contests, now there are ugly contests. What, is the uglier person more powerful?]
[Brother Cheng! Hurry up, I want to see you face off with Mu Qiu!]
[Hahahahahahaha too sharp! Staredown then twitching from being ugly-ed out]
[This situation of three evenly matched just calls for a Brother Huai to break the stalemate]
[If Brother Huai comes, Shu Ran might jump in frustration hahahaha]
[...]
Gasping for breath and sweating on her back, Mu Qiu finally managed to compose herself, pinching her cheeks to keep from grinning.
"Since we know who the ultimate victor is, let’s disperse. Let’s go find something to remove the makeup, and while we’re at it, look for the others. Sister Shu Ran, just accept it, this makeup is not easy to take off; Brother Huai was rubbing at it for ages and couldn’t smudge it away."
Shu Ran slapped her palm on the sink counter, gritting her teeth: "Do I have to go out with this face?"
Guan Yu: "I have an idea."
