Ming Zhao simply watched her quietly, the admiration in his eyes not fading at all, but instead growing even stronger.
"You... want to become even more beautiful, more beautiful than those two?" Ming Zhao's whisper echoed in Yu Mengdi's ears, striking straight to her heart.
Having completely released the darkness within her heart, Yu Mengdi nodded vigorously without hesitation after hearing Ming Zhao's words.
"Very good, very good!" Ming Zhao withdrew his hand, clapping and laughing loudly.
"Jealousy is a powerful force. As long as you are willing to embrace this force, face your true self, and tear off the mask of hypocrisy, you can become the most beautiful woman!"
"Really?" Yu Mengdi looked down at her hands and the beating heart in her chest, her breathing gradually becoming rapid.
"Of course, look at the real you!" Ming Zhao waved his hand, and Yin energy gathered in front of Yu Mengdi to form a mirror.
She turned her head and looked at herself in the mirror.
In the mirror, she wore a bewitching smile. Her once pure blue eyes had turned into a captivating purplish-red, and her long, flowing golden hair had been dyed a mysterious and deep dark purple. Her dignified and conservative white-gold dress had been replaced with a strapless, backless swallowtail gown, and her slender, supple legs were covered in sheer black stockings.
Wearing a crown of thorns, with six black wings on her back, and wearing obsidian black crystal high heels with open sides.
Although her facial features haven't changed much, she looks like a completely different person, several levels more beautiful than Yu Mengdi now.
"This... is me?" Yu Mengdi blankly reached out her hand, wanting to touch her reflection in the mirror.
In the mirror, Yu Mengdi extended her slender, fair hand from beneath her black feather sleeve and gently touched the Yu Mengdi outside the mirror.
"Am I beautiful in the outside world?" Yu Mengdi in the mirror opened her red lips and slowly spoke in a magnetic and elegant voice.
"... Beautiful." Yu Mengdi opened her mouth and said with a somewhat infatuated look in her eyes.
This is the woman she dreamed of being! She should be the most beautiful woman in the Douluo Continent, stunning all others and capable of captivating the nation!
But Yu Mengdi in the mirror only showed a mocking sneer and instantly withdrew her hand from the one that had touched her.
"No!" Yu Mengdi's eyes widened as she reached out to grab her reflection in the mirror.
In the mirror, Yu Mengdi looked down at her with the same arrogant gaze as Zhang Lexuan, crossed her arms, and sneered, "No matter how beautiful I am, I'm still me, not you! You think you can become as stunning as me?"
"You dare not embrace your true self, you dare not show your jealousy, how dare you become beautiful? Ha! Just continue to be ugly like this. I am more beautiful than you, those two outside are more beautiful than you, everyone is more beautiful than you. You who dare not face yourself will never become the most beautiful person in the Douluo Continent!"
"No! I am the most beautiful person, and everyone more beautiful than me should die!" Yu Mengdi's expression became even more ferocious, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"Then what are we waiting for?" The blackened Yu Mengdi laughed loudly, her charming and alluring laughter echoing for Jiujiu.
She suddenly opened her arms wide, roaring madly at Yu Mengdi outside the border, "Come, embrace me! Become Ming Zhao's servant with me! We must live, we must become the most beautiful women in the Douluo Continent together!"
"Only Lord Ming Zhao can help us; only by embracing the darkness can you liberate your true self!"
Yu Mengdi didn't speak, but a dense black aura emanated from her body. Her dazzling golden hair turned into a deep, dark purple, just like the one reflected in the mirror, at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pupils of the person reflected in the mirror were also quickly stained with purplish-red.
Without the slightest hesitation, she smashed her head against the mirror and embraced her reflection.
At that moment, her expression mirrored that of her reflection in the mirror: the same intense jealousy, the same alluring charm, the same hysteria!
The corrupted Yu Mengdi exploded, reverting to the original energy of Ming Zhao Yu Mengdi, which carried a mental suggestion. This negative energy, carrying intense jealousy, fully activated Yu Mengdi's dark side and completely merged with her.
A pair of pure white Angel wings appeared behind Yu Mengdi, but the white feathers gradually turned black from the roots, turning pitch black in the blink of an eye.
As her Martial Soul darkened and she liberated her inner self, Yu Mengdi's Soul Power fluctuations also increased rapidly.
Soul Master and Martial Soul are one; Soul Master can influence Martial Soul, and Martial Soul can in turn influence Soul Master.
The darkness in Yu Mengdi's heart prevented her from comprehending the true mysteries of Angel, and also made her seem quite mediocre.
Unable to become a holy and noble Angel because of the darkness in their hearts, and afraid to completely fall into depravity because of the shackles of their beliefs, they embrace the darkness recklessly.
What Ming Zhao did was also very simple.
First, create a terrifying atmosphere to terrify everyone at the Zhengtian Academy. Then, use mental suppression on Yu Mengdi alone to prevent her from having any thoughts of resistance or escape. She can only hide in the carriage and watch her classmates and teachers leave the carriage to die outside.
With each death of a classmate or teacher, Yu Mengdi's fear intensified, making her feel that she was one step closer to death.
When everyone else is dead, and Yu Mengdi feels she is about to die as well, the beauty of Zhang Lexuan and Li Ya is shown to her in her utter despair, causing her to transform her fear into jealousy.
No matter how holy or immaculate Angel may be, they will eventually be corrupted by the Ming Zhao and become what He desires to see.
Yu Mengdi is very promising.
Fear and jealousy made her see her 'true' self. The threat of death forced her to follow Ming Zhao's will and walk this path, embracing her dark side just as Ma Xiaotao embraced the Evil Fire.
Ultimately transformed into...
Fallen Angel burdened with the sin of jealousy.
Of course, as the price for subduing Yu Mengdi, Ming Zhao had to make her beautiful, transforming her into the dark version of Yu Mengdi reflected in the mirror.
This wasn't difficult for Ming Zhao, since he had been to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well once and had the foresight to preserve some immortal Immortal Herb.
Those Immortal Herb were just sitting there anyway, so they were perfect for cultivating his Seven Deadly Sins subordinates. Among them, the one that could make Yu Mengdi more beautiful was the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone Herb that Zhu Zhuqing had consumed.
Although this Immortal Herb doesn't significantly improve one's talent and Martial Soul, its ability to nourish the body and optimize facial features and appearance is the most outstanding among a large number of Immortal Herb, making it a natural beauty product.
After consuming it, the corrupted, Fallen Angel Yu Mengdi will only become more beautiful than she appears in the mirror.
Yu Mengdi, who was mentally manipulated and then received forgiveness and blessings from the Ming Zhao, will become the first Divine Chosen of Original Sin to swear allegiance to him.
"It's time to wake up."
