Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Retribution Angel

The makeup artist couldn’t help but sigh and say,

"I thought I had seen enough beauties but today I realized that I was a toad in a well unaware of the world outside the well!"

Yu Holea smiled.

Suddenly the makeup artist asked,

"Are you interested in joining the entertainment industry? Don’t worry I will sponsor you! I have a brother who is a golden manager in CY Entertainment Studio!"

Yu Holea shook her head and said,

"No need. Thank you for your offer!"

The makeup artist expected this response and wasn’t offended. She could only sigh at the fact, that such a beauty couldn’t be seen by many.

"Lea, are you ready?" Qiao Li entered the room and the moment she saw Yu Holea, she couldn’t help but hold her breath.

"My Second Brother would definitely get a heart attack today!"

Yu Holea had a good hearing and couldn’t help but blush when she heard Qiao Li’s words.

Soon the makeup artist left, while Qiao Li and Yu Holea chatted.

When Qiao Li’s phone rang, she pulled Yu Holea out of her room.

The moment they reached the stairs, Qiao Li whispered,

"All the best Lea."

Before Yu Holea could understand anything, the lights went out.

Yu Holea stood still at the top of the stairs, her heart pounding in her chest.

The sudden darkness enveloped her, making her surroundings indistinct.

She could hear the faint murmurs and rustling sounds coming from below, but she had no idea what was happening.

"Lea, just take a deep breath and walk down the stairs slowly," Qiao Li’s voice came from beside her, a reassuring presence in the darkness.

Yu Holea took a deep breath, her nerves calming slightly. As she began her descent, a soft light illuminated her path, guiding her steps.

The dim light gradually brightened, revealing a beautifully decorated room filled with her friends, family, and some strangers, all eyes on her.

Yu Holea slowly walked down and all the guests subconsciously held their breath.

They could swear that they had seen beautiful people, but someone as beautiful as Yu Holea was hardly seen by them.

Once Yu Holea reached downstairs she didn’t know what to do.

Suddenly the lights brightened fully.

Qiao Li who at some point reached just beside her, held her hand and said,

"Lea today I will make sure that you will remember this birthday forever!"

Before Yu Holea could react, Qiao Li went into the center of the hall and took the mic,

"Hello everyone. Thank you so much for making time and coming to my best friend’s birthday. Before starting the birthday banquet I want to share some things with all the people present here.

Of course, I won’t be like the principal of the school, who gives a speech for 2 hours. I would only take 5 minutes of your time."

Yu Holea shook her head when she heard Qiao Li’s words.

Qiao Li looked at Yu Holea and said,

"Lea, do you remember the time when you said that you have a jinx of harming your loved one?"

The entire hall turned silent and Yu Holea’s face turned a bit pale.

Her eyes widened and she wanted to shake her head.

In her heart, she gradually stopped considering herself as a cursed person once she heard the Qiao family’s words and repeated assurance.

However, in some corner of her heart, she still felt guilty.

She felt that maybe the Qiao Family had misunderstood. Maybe they have seen her good side and hence they think that she was good luck.

After all, 16 years of brainwashing can’t be forgotten in a few months.

Qiao Li saw Yu Holea’s pale face and her heartache. However she gritted her teeth and continued,

"Lea, I do feel that you are a cursed person."

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Yu Holea’s heart started to beat fast.

It became a bit difficult to breathe and for some reason, she felt as if everyone was looking at her with the same disdain and hate, the people of her previous life used to see her with.

Suddenly she heard Mrs. Qiao’s voice,

"You are a cursed person Lea..."

Yu Holea looked at Mrs. Qiao with a pleading look. She now just wanted to hide and nothing more.

Her previous insecurity was crawling back at her.

Her mind started to work fast and she thought that maybe the Qiao Family had suffered some setback, or the worst possibility was...her curse had come back!

Mrs. Qiao’s heart trembled when she saw Yu Holea’s expression.

She turned toward Qiao Li, who nodded, and Mrs. Qiao suddenly said,

"You are a cursed person for all the evil people, Lea."

Yu Holea’s heart skipped a beat before it started to beat fast.

Qiao Li continued,

"Do you know Lea in ancient times, there were several people like you, who were called cursed. The reason why they were called cursed was because once any evil person came in contact with them, they either died or got their karma.

In fact, later it was revealed that such types of people are retribution angels."

When Qiao Li finished her words, Mrs. Qiao took over and said,

"We have proof, Lea."

Saying so Mrs. Qiao displayed an ancient page on the projector.

Not many people present could understand the ancient language, but Yu Holea knew the ancient language and subconsciously read it in her mind.

Her eyes widened with each word she read.

Finally, when she read the last paragraph, Yu Holea’s heart was filled with various emotions.

What Qiao Li said was only a part of the paragraph. Yu Holea who could read the entire page, found out some other facts.

A particular line, made Yu Holea wonder whether all the things she knew till now were true or not.

"Retribution Angels usually don’t harm their loved ones, they instead help them from any major accident.

There was once a retribution angel who was reborn in the human world. That angel was later misidentified as a cursed person.

In order to protect themselves after suffering from an accident the parents of the retribution angel, dropped that angel to a faraway place.

In reality, the parents of the retribution angel were destined to die, however, because of the presence of the retribution angel, they were able to escape the disaster.

The stupid parents didn’t know this and continued to hate the retribution angel.

Not only that, since the retribution angel’s presence changed the destiny, the retribution angel has to pay for it, by enduring a lifetime worth of mistreatment."

Wasn’t this story similar to hers?

Yu Holea’s heart trembled.

Was she truly a retribution angel? Then why did her master call her cursed? Did he misidentify?

There were various questions in Yu Holea’s mind but no one was there to answer her.

However, with the text, she was assured of one thing and that was...she wasn’t cursed.

Qiao Li smiled and said,

"Do you believe us now? So Lea, in the future if someone ever calls you cursed, remember to teach them a lesson. After all, you are a retribution angel."

Yu Holea looked at Qiao Li with red eyes. This was the best birthday gift she ever had.

For the guest, this was just a small prank or some joke, but to Yu Holea who had experienced all such things firsthand as well as a mystic cultivator, Yu Holea knew that there were chances that the ancient text was 70% true.

Yu Holea didn’t dare to think further.

"Okay, now that we have done some small joke, it is time to move to the main course. Not the food, but the starting activity of the birthday.

I would like to invite Lea...cough...Miss Yu on the stage." Qiao Li said.

Yu Holea came out of the trance and walked up to the stage.

Qiao Li introduced Yu Holea and gave a small speech, before saying,

"Ok to mark the start of the birthday banquet, we will begin with a dance."

Yu Holea looked in Qiao Li’s direction and a bad feeling enveloped her heart.

Qiao Li smiled and clapped her hands. A servant with a transparent bowl, a few white paper, and a pen came.

"Each of the guests who want to dance with Lea, please come forward and write a number on the paper and drop it in the blow. Don’t forget to write your number in two papers, one will be dropped in the bowl while the other will be with you!"

Qiao Li’s words hung in the air, and a few guests exchanged amused glances before stepping forward to write their names on the papers.

That was when Yu Holea noticed that each guest had a masquerade mask.

Hence she didn’t know which guest was who.

Suddenly a person with a black and golden masquerade mask walked up and wrote a number. Yu Holea felt as if she knew the person and guessed that maybe he was Qiao Jun.
