The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 256

Raven said she was going to return to her previous appearance. It probably meant her pre–surgery face.

But she still looked ordinary after plastic surgery. Tony was really curious what she looked like before.

Tony couldn’t help it. Images of infamous “ugly women” from Vyrdenia began flashing through his mind.

Then, he mentally pasted those faces onto the Raven who was currently cuddling up to Cassian, and his body involuntarily shuddered. A chill shot through him like icy water.

He’d heard of Beauty and the Beast before, but it seemed he was about to witness a live–action version of Hot Guy and the Beast.

At that terrifying thought, he instinctively squeezed his eyes shut. He needed to calm down.

At the same time, Tony suddenly began to suspect Cassian wasn’t just blind. There was probably something seriously wrong with his brain too.

Just then, as Tony kept his eyes closed like he was bracing for a jumpscare, a faint glimmer flashed on the ring Raven wore on her finger.

Then, a pale yellow crystal about the size of an egg appeared in her palm.

Cassian’s eyes immediately lit up with surprise. “That’s… a Rebirth Stone?”

To ordinary people, the stone was pretty much useless.

But to someone who had been reborn, it held enormous value.

One of its functions was to restore a person’s appearance to what it was in their past.

However, Rebirth Stones were extremely rare. Even in the high–level world they had lived in before, they were few and far between.

Cassian truly hadn’t expected to see something this precious in such a small, low–level world.

Raven gave him a soft smile. “Surprised?”

She stumbled across this thing by accident about a year ago. Back then, she thought that if Cassian ever met her and found her current appearance less appealing than before, she’d just use it right away.

But she realized the way he looked at her now was no different than how he had in the past timeline. Wanting to avoid constantly attracting annoying suitors, she didn’t rush to use it.

However, now that the only way to figure out who issued the bounty was to return to her past appearance, she might as well use it.

It wasn’t like she was losing anything, after all.

Raven lightly closed her hand around the Rebirth Stone. She slowly channeled her mental energy into it. Gradually, the stone began to emit a soft golden glow.

And with that glow, her face began to change slowly, subtly, but visibly.

Even though the changes were incredibly slight, it was as if the hand of a divine sculptor was gently refining her features. Her facial structure and every detail of her features began to shift toward perfection.
