“Haha…” With a sad smile, Wen Ya sorrowfully said, “Even though you managed to save me, so what? As someone in the depths of sorrow and ready to commit suicide, you can save me but once, twice maybe. You cannot save me for my entire life.”
Suo Jia furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, and replied without understanding, “Why do you need to die? Isn’t it better to be alive? If you pass away, you will never be able to see your mother again. Won’t she be lonely in this world?”
Wen Ya couldn’t help but tremble at Suo Jia’s words, as streams of tears poured down her face. She shook her head and said, “I am an insult as a daughter, a failure. I cannot continue to live like this.”
Suo Jia, seeing Wen Ya distressed and heartbroken, hesitantly added, “I don’t understand the situation all too well. What exactly has made you want to stop living? Can you talk to me about it?”
Slightly glancing over at Suo Jia, pulled out a handkerchief and wiped at the tears on her face. She replied emotionlessly, “You really can’t tell by looking can you? This person in front of you is as fat and stupid as a pig, and yet she is the Holy Light City’s Fourth Prince’s most beloved. Because of that, she is shame not only to the royal family, but to all the city’s residents as well!”
The woman looked with disgust at the rings and rings of fat encircling her body. With a downtrodden look, she said, “I hate the way I am right now. I just can’t live life while being so fat and so stupid!”
The woman’s eyes revealed a perplexed expression. Stroking her face while dreaming about the past, she said: “There was a time, long ago, when I was beautiful. Really, you could say I was extremely proud of my beauty. Heh! I was the most beautiful woman, whomever you asked would agree.
The woman’s expression suddenly changed: “However, ever since I fell victim to that illness, my beauty gradually left me. If I was born ugly, perhaps I would be able to tolerate it. However, I was so beautiful in the past. How can I accept my current obese self?”
Listening to the woman’s words, Suo Jia excitedly laughed. The reason why Wen Ya no longer wanted to continue living was revealed. There were two main issues. The first was that if she continued to live, she would be harming the future prospects of the Fourth Prince. The second was that she could not stand her own ugly appearance and did not have the courage to continue living. Although there were two different reasons, they both stemmed from the same problem — obesity!
Arriving at this conclusion, Suo Jia first gently removed the dagger from Wen Ya’s hands and placed it back on the table. Afterwards, he immediately casted a Moisture Technique to treat the small injury on Wen Ya’s neck. Under the effect of the Moisture Technique, the scar from the wound visibly faded. With just a bit of effort, it completely disappeared.
Nodding with satisfaction, Suo Jia brought over a chair and sat across from Wen Ya. With a smile on his face, he said, “The reason why you no longer want to live is only that you are obese right? Then if there was someone who was able to help you lose weight and restore your former beauty, would you still be depressed?”
Dispirited and downcast, Wen Ya bitterly smiled at Suo Jia and said, “I have already accepted the reality of the situation and I have tried by best as well. Unfortunately, it turned out, however, that it is impossible for me to slim down.”
“Haha…” Smiling contently, Suo Jia proudly said, “You did a huge favor for me the last time we met on the streets. You saved our lives and at that time I decided that I must return your kindness!”
The woman replied nonchalantly, “Just by talking to me and sitting by my side in my last few moments has already made my death a bit more peaceful. Don’t say anything else and stay by my side quietly as I walk through the last part of my life!”
After listening to Wen Ya’s words, Suo Jia smiled sweetly and continued, “At that time, I was thinking that I could not help you much in regards to money, status, or power. You did not require any of those. The only wish you had was to get rid of that layer of fat!”
“Huh?” Unconvincingly looking at Suo Jia, the woman began to wonder if he was mentally challenged.
Suo Jia finally lifted his head and turned to face Wen Ya. “Our family was allowed a second chance at life with your help. Because of that, I want to use my abilities to grant you a second life as well. Allow me to help you lose weight!”
“What!” Faced with Suo Jia’s request, the pale Wen Ya finally stood up and said while trembling, “Did you just say you would help me lose weight? What can an eight year-old like you do? Do you know how many experts and scholars I have searched for? You actually have the vain hope of helping me lose weight! Let me tell you something, if you cannot really do something, then at least do not raise other’s hopes. If you do, the pain of losing that hope is something beyond your imagi
