“Why is your skin in such poor condition?” Lisa asked with a dismayed expression. “Don’t you ever wash your face? Large pores, dull complexion, rough skin, and blackheads—oh my, how old are you? Sixty?”

Hiludi was at a loss throughout the entire conversation, as if she were a puppet being manipulated by Lisa. She didn’t understand a lot of what the other woman was saying.

When she had said ‘even if you put Magic Crystal Mountain in front of me,’ she simply wanted to find out if Lisa had a Magic Crystal Mountain. She might consider it if Lisa did have one.

But Lisa didn’t produce a magic crystal; instead, she brought in a delicate, youthful-looking woman who immediately took Hiludi’s hand and began lecturing her. Lisa’s criticisms were justifiable, as her skin was far more delicate than Hiludi’s, like a freshly peeled egg.

“Sister, what are your secrets? Why is your skin so delicate?” Hiludi finally asked.

“It’s all about skincare, of course. First, tell me how old you are?” Lisa asked in return.

“Thirty,” Hiludi replied.

“Oh my, you’re only thirty! Your skin looks like that of someone in their sixties or seventies. Don’t you maintain your skin at all? Look at my face; I’m over a thousand years old,” Lisa said in distraight.

Unable to help herself, Hiludi looked over at Lisa’s ears. She wasn’t an elf, so what long-lived species could reach a thousand years?

“Tell me, how do you usually wash your face?” Lisa asked with a serious expression.

Lisa’s demeanor brought Hiludi the feeling of being a teenager, being interrogated by her tutor again. She hurriedly replied obediently, “I just wash with water and dry off with a cloth.”

“Cloth? What kind of cloth? Hemp cloth or cotton cloth? Buckskin cloth? Silk cloth? How often do you change it? How do you wash it and let it dry?” Lisa pressed on with her inquiries.

“Ah?” Hiludi was completely dumbfounded. She was only aware of hemp and cotton cloths. There are so many types? They need to be changed? And left to air dry?

Isn’t it enough to just wring it out after washing your face, and hang it up for use later that night and discard it when it’s worn out?

“Oh heavens, that’s your face, why are you treating it like that? Wring it out after washing your face? Use it until it’s worn? My goodness, it’s so dirty. The dirt on it comes in contact with your skin, flourishing profusely, and then comes in contact with your skin again. Do you want your face to be ruined? With all the blackheads on your face, you certainly aren’t using face wash,” Lisa added.

“Huh? What is face wash?” Hiludi asked, bewildered.

“Moisturising water? Toner? Face mask? Oh my, you have not used any of these, how have you been living in such a crude way? Exfoliation? Nail care? Hair care? None of these either? Oh, my Goddess of Beauty, you are simply wasting the body gifted to you by the Goddess of Beauty and missing out on the most beautiful sight in the world. Here, let me give you a full set of these treatments.”

Without giving Hiludi any time to object, Lisa pulled her into the Goddess of Beauty City and opened the door to an entirely new world for her.

Aestolia hurriedly followed them, as Lisa’s comments had also piqued her interest.

Hiludi underwent the full set of beauty treatments – nails, skin, hair removal, exfoliation, rejuvenating treatment – completely bemused. Upon coming face to face with her reflection in a mirror afterwards, she was shocked. Who was that beautiful person in the window?

Hiludi is extraordinarily gifted. From a young age, she had been the focus of a lot of attention. She was so talented that she trained from being an apprentice to reaching the level of an Arcane Magician at the age of thirty. She was just one step away from the truth of magic.

Moreover, she is a highly proficient Space System Magic Instructor. Learning such abstract magic is not easy and requires more time and effort. This has resulted in her spending most of her time studying in the Mage Tower, even running to the toilet.

With even going to the toilet not getting any time, where would she have the time to beautify and dress up? She has been washing her face with clear water since she was young. She only found out the existence of face wash today.

But nowhere else would anyone know, unless they had visited Goddess of Beauty City. Because these are specialities of Goddess of Beauty City.

The facewash is made from purified Holy Water, mixed with a small amount of essence and soapnut extracts. It can produce rich foam, and the cleansing power is very strong. The raw soapnut extract has a slight irritation and harm to the skin, but it is repaired by the essence, so it can be used even on sensitive skin.

After washing her face with facial cleanser, there is no more feeling of greasy stickiness on her face. Touching her face, she feels a completely different experience.

Oh my God, why is her face so smooth? Hiludi couldn’t help but touch her face and Aestolia also couldn’t resist touching it. Then she asked, “Is this facial cleanser for sale? How much is it?”

“Yes, it’s fifty magic crystals a bottle. It can be used for a month,” one of the nearby maids quickly interjected.

Lisa never responds to questions regarding price. As the publicly declared Goddess of Beauty Priest, she feels speaking about money would be beneath her dignity.

Aestolia felt nothing out of the ordinary, but Hiludi involuntarily gasped. A small bottle cost fifty magic crystals? And it could only be used for a month? Isn’t that daylight robbery?

Lisa laughed, “It’s much easier than robbing, come, lie down, let’s take a look at your teeth.”

Without waiting for a response, she pulled Hiludi down and continued her work.

Hiludi did not want to think anymore and obediently opened her mouth.

“Your teeth are healthy, no need for orthodontics, but they are a bit yellow. We just need to whiten them,” Lisa said as she applied a spell to remove stains on Hiludi’s teeth. Within moments the slightly yellow teeth regained their pearly white lustre and shone brilliantly.

Once done with her teeth, Lisa stroked Hiludi’s hair and said, “Your hair is quite thin. Do you often lose hair?”
