Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 257: Chapter 254 Weird Man Chapter 257: Chapter 254 Weird Man “I’m not wrong, this person’s features are indeed very attractive, and his skin is so delicate, just like a woman’s,”

Seeing the expressions of the others change, Su Qingqing continued with a matter-of-fact face.

Hearing Su Qingqing’s remark, the others turned their gazes toward the man on the bed who was at death’s door.

Before, no one had paid attention, but now, prompted by Su Qingqing, they took a good look and everyone was stunned.

At first glance, there was nothing unusual, but upon closer inspection, the injured man’s features were indeed extraordinarily refined, his face so beautiful it was almost scandalous.

His hair was fluffy and slightly curled with a hint of brown, his skin fair and smooth, eyelashes long and layered like fan leaves, and his straight nose sat above slightly parted lips. His thin lips, though not reddened with rouge, were more crimson and enticing than cherries, making one nearly unable to resist the temptation to bite.

Were it not for his broad shoulders, hefty frame, and the pronounced Adam’s apple, it would be hard to tell that he was a man.

A flicker of surprise passed through the eyes of the men, but the thought of such features on a man suddenly made them feel it was very odd.

Ouyang Jun and Song Hui exchanged glances, silently communicating with their eyes.

Although they weren’t inclined that way, they had heard things.

In certain circles, men with delicate features are extremely popular. This man had sustained so many injuries; could he be someone from that circle?

The more he thought about it, the more Song Hui felt this guess was likely. He couldn’t help but frown and take a step back, silently criticizing in his mind, thinking, could this man have contracted some foul disease?

“Such a seductive creature, how can a man be so attractive? It makes it hard for us women to live!”

Su Qingqing sighed softly, yet her gaze did not stray from the man’s face for even a second.

Bai Yishan’s gaze was also lost, her face filled with infatuation as she looked at the man, clearly spellbound by this unusual male.

“Women are so pragmatic. It’s just a pretty-boy. Is he really worth such a fuss?”

Ouyang Jun curled his lip in disdain, clearly on the same page as Song Hui.

Huo Sining just stood silently in the cabin, watching. Since the man had come on board, she hadn’t spoken a word, but her gaze hadn’t left him.

However, unlike Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan, Huo Sining didn’t look at him with infatuation or indulgence. Instead, her eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion.

For some reason, Huo Sining felt an indescribable sensation emanating from the man.

This feeling was strange; she couldn’t pinpoint its nature, as if encountering someone with a similar bloodline, causing her heartbeat to race beyond her control.

Even Su Qingqing and Su Jinyuan had never elicited such a response from her, yet now she experienced this intense reaction with a stranger, which left Huo Sining both shocked and alarmed.

What’s going on?

Huo Sining’s expression was stiff as she fixed her gaze on the man she had never met before, yet waves of sourness and heartache surged within her.

This unfamiliar emotion was beyond the control of her rational mind. Those wounds seemed to touch a fragile and sensitive nerve within her. Normally logical and rarely moved to tears even in adversity, she now inexplicably felt the urge to cry.

Huo Sining was greatly startled and fought against that odd, foreign emotion, pushing back the tears that were about to spill from her eyes.

“What’s wrong with you?” Gu Xu noticed that Huo Sining’s eyes seemed somewhat reddened, found it strange, and couldn’t help but ask.

Huo Sining forced a smile, pulling at the corners of her mouth, and mumbled vaguely, “It’s nothing, probably just the sea breeze irritating my eyes.”

Gu Xu’s eyes flickered, and he subconsciously turned his head to look back doubtfully at the man lying on the bed.

Huo Sining turned around and walked out of the cabin stiffly, followed gradually by the others.

Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan both looked excited and cast lingering glances at the man in the room, constantly looking back as they walked away.

On the other hand, Ouyang Jun and Song Hui wore disgusted expressions, showing disdain for the person inside the room.

After a casual lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. They were all exhausted from the morning’s exertions and decided to take a break before proceeding.

The old captain then ordered the crew to begin the return journey.

However, Huo Sining tossed and turned in her cabin room, unable to fall asleep.

She had tested the Water-Repelling Pearl’s Spiritual Energy many times before, and it had even saved Gu Xu’s life.

The man they had rescued was now barely hanging on to life, and it was uncertain whether he would make it back to the dock.

But if she could infuse just a wisp of Spiritual Energy, this man would certainly not die.

Thinking of this, Huo Sining felt that she should go and take another look. Even if she couldn’t figure out the man’s origin, she felt it was her duty to lend a hand.

She quietly left her room, walked down the hallway, and slipped into the man’s room. Huo Sining was extremely careful, thinking that her actions went unnoticed, but little did she know that her strange behavior had already caught someone’s attention.

Gu Xu had long noticed the unusual expression on Huo Sining’s face, so he had been keeping an eye on her. Seeing her slip silently into the man’s room, his eyes revealed a hint of puzzlement.

He didn’t understand why Huo Sining was acting so oddly. Did she know that man? But if she did, she could have just said so openly. Why the secretive, sneaky behavior?

Gu Xu was suspicious, but out of respect for Huo Sining’s privacy, he did not get any closer to continue his observation. Instead, he stood a few steps away from the man’s room, quietly waiting for someone to come out.

Upon entering the room, Huo Sining didn’t make any movements; she just silently watched the man, whose complexion was pale and who remained unconscious.

“Who are you?”

Huo Sining muttered to herself, her right hand unconsciously reaching out to stroke the man’s brows and eyes.

Unexpectedly, when her hand touched the man’s body, she felt an abnormal burning heat, so hot that she almost cried out in shock.

Not only that, but as she felt the scorching temperature from the man’s body, the Azure Pearl on her forehead suddenly emerged.

Brilliant azure light outshone everything else; the Water-Repelling Pearl at her forehead spun violently, as if infused with a frenetic excitement beyond control.

Huo Sining instinctively let go, swiftly raising her head to look at the man with a mix of shock and uncertainty.

However, when she looked, she was stunned.

In that instant, she distinctly saw a red pearl appear on the man’s forehead, about the same size as the one on her own, also flashing intensely!
