Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.-Chapter 371 - 369. Ugly Duckling I
"...Ahh *Muffle*"
Rita was caught off guard and was about to shriek out in shock but her training jumped out making her clench her teeth and claw her thighs to prevent her from shrieking out of instincts.
"Wow stop being harsh on yourself like this Rita, It’s not good to ruin such a good figure."
Alex, seeing what she was doing, said hurriedly, preventing her from injuring her thighs.
He holds her in front of him, putting his hands on her shoulders as he admires her beauty.
Currently her smooth forehead has formed a bead of sweat, even in this air-conditioned room, her big dark brown eyes were still locked on his face, as her long eyelashes were fluttering from time to time.
Her tall well carved nose, below them were lotus petals like moist soft lips, That long slender neck, with strong shoulders supporting her twin gravity defying peaks.
Below the peaks were her exposed muscle stomach, showing off her chiseled 6-packs abs proudly with complimentary mermaid happy trail.
Then there were that wide hips, carrying a whole tight soft bakery behind her, the thighs of hers was tempting others to squeeze by them, Oh her well cut calf just added final touch perfecting such rare beauty.
He does not understand what’s wrong with the eyes of people in this world, calling women like her ugly and beta.
Though he can see why they can call her beta given the way this world works, he for the love of Gaia does not understand why they are calling her ugly.
He even doubted whether or not the meaning of ugly also got reversed in this world or what.
After all, Rita looks like a hot boxing kung fu lady from the game with contradictory names as it’s everything but final from his previous world.
Calling her ugly it’s like calling Belladonna a well adjusted member of society.
"*Gulp* Go-Good looking?"
Rita was on the verge of crying out. She knows that she is not blessed with looks and she had come to terms with it as she got most of them doesn’t, She had awakened her superpower.
Until yesterday, she did not care about her looks as most of her life is spent in the darkness, stalking her target, but it all changed when she met him.
It was love at first sight. She didn’t know why it happened nor did she care to know about it. All she knew was that he had stolen her heart and she can’t get it back.
All the insecurity about her looks started to surface but she had somehow suppressed it but when Amara had called her on it, she had to face it.
She and Alex were not even considered on the same plane of existence, His beauty is beyond mere words can describe meanwhile there are many words like ugly, beta, ork, troll perfectly fit her appearance.
Even she knew that was all true, She even regretted working out her physique. Yeah she never needed to build up her muscles as awakened she has access to mana and Qi (Spiritual power) to gain strength.
And yet after what happened to Jenny, She felt helpless and so started training her physique because she was well aware that she was not talented enough to push to higher realm on her own, and there was no way an organization would have allocated resources for someone expendable as her, a mere assassin.
So to make herself feel less worthless she had to do something, anything to convince herself she was growing, she can get stronger even though these muscles hardly provide her much strength, Just make her superpower a little easy to use.
But as a price she had comprise with even her physique, Now she had nothing, not a face nor a body that can be considered anything close to attractive.
She knows she is not worthy of him, and was just planning to see him from the sideline, never dare to get too close by fear of burning all hopes.
But when he said she was good-looking, All the desire, fantasy she pushed deep not dare to even think about it start gushing out.
She was on the verge of crying, not only did no one ever called her good looking but it is also the first time someone actually cared about her getting hurt.
This is such an unreal feeling. At this moment she felt like she could fly out in excitement, she wanted to hug him, kiss him, tell him what she feels about him, make this a place that she always wanted, home.
But she didn’t do anything, She was too weak and afraid to do anything. She was fearful of the possibility that all she thought was just in her head and he was just being polite, that’s all.
Atleast not acting on it means there was that glimmer of hope remains.
"Good looking? No, I misspoken, You are unreasonably hot, It might be whatever ecstacy in that meat is doing but *Look left and right* *Whisper* you are the hottest women in the room, Just don’t tell them."
Alex, seeing her verge of crying out, wanted to tease her even more, He intentionally took a slight break and even acted like she back peddled from his previous statement.
Rita hearing the first half of his sentence felt like her heart had broken into a million pieces just like her hope and fantasies, blaming herself for harboring such ludicrous desires.
Of course he was just saying for being polite, there is no way someone can find her attractive. She should have thought about it before, so her heart would have not been broken.
But then she heard his latter half of his sentence and was couldn’t believe on her ears of what he said.
"Wh-what…I-...I h-hotter t-then…them?"
(A/N : Not having any excuse, I just wasn’t able to write it, I am sorry 😞.
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day 😁.)
