Fat and Ugly Villainess Wins Back Her Five Beast Husband
Chapter 140: Making CosmeticsMeanwhile, the entire tribe was still buzzing with excitement over Sora’s decision to participate.
But Sora herself had completely ignored the gossip.
She had much more important things to do.
After returning to the wild kitchen, she immediately began working with the minerals she had discovered using her Level Two metal-type ability.
Talcum powder.
Mica.
These were exactly what she needed.
Sora carefully ground the minerals into fine powder.
She planned to use them to make eyeshadow and foundation.
There was no other choice.
If her natural appearance wasn’t enough to compete with the other females, then she would simply use makeup to compensate for it.
Sora had never believed that beauty had to be completely natural.
In the modern world, cosmetics had always been one of the easiest ways to enhance a person’s appearance.
And if modern cosmetics weren’t available here...
She would make her own.
The metal-detection function of her ability proved extremely useful.
Once Sora understood what she was searching for, locating the mineral deposits became much easier.
Before long, she had discovered a considerable amount of talc and mica.
She gathered enough to experiment with several different mixtures.
Inside the wild kitchen, Sora sat quietly grinding the powder.
Her expression was serious.
She had no idea that someone was approaching.
A moment later, Lyra entered.
The moment she saw Sora working, she frowned.
She didn’t bother with greetings.
"Kaelira, don’t participate in the Most Beautiful Female Selection."
Her tone left no room for negotiation.
"You aren’t suitable for it."
Sora didn’t even raise her head.
She continued grinding the powder between her fingers.
"Why not?"
"I want to participate."
Lyra’s expression became even uglier.
"Look at yourself. What do you want to go to the Most Beautiful Female Selection for?"
She sneered.
"Don’t go out there and embarrass yourself."
Sora’s hand paused for a moment.
Then she continued grinding.
"If I don’t participate, does that mean Serena will participate instead?"
Lyra froze.
Sora finally lifted her head and looked at her.
"After all, Serena is prettier than me."
Her voice remained calm.
"She can bring you more face."
Lyra’s expression softened slightly at those words, but before she could respond, Sora continued.
"Although, Mom..."
Sora deliberately emphasized the word.
"I’ve always wondered about something."
"What?"
"Is Serena really your biological daughter?"
Lyra’s face changed instantly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Sora calmly picked up more mineral powder.
"Otherwise, why do you favor her so much?"
Lyra’s eyes narrowed.
"Serena is a child I picked up."
"Oh?"
Sora raised an eyebrow.
"Is that so?"
She smiled faintly.
"You favor her everywhere. You defend her, praise her, and treat her better than me."
Sora’s expression remained innocent.
"I used to think she was your biological daughter."
Lyra’s face became increasingly tense.
Then Sora delivered the final blow.
"Mom, if you don’t let me participate, I’ll tell everyone that Serena is your child with someone else."
Lyra stared at her in shock.
"What did you say?"
Sora didn’t care how shocked she looked.
In fact, she had already anticipated this reaction.
If Lyra’s secret were exposed during the festival, the embarrassment wouldn’t fall entirely on Sora.
It would fall on Lyra as well.
And considering how much Lyra cared about her reputation, Sora knew exactly which weakness to target.
For a moment, Lyra said nothing.
The truth was that Sora was indeed her biological daughter.
Serena had been born to one of Lyra’s close friends.
Lyra had raised Serena and had always treated her as though she were her own child.
But she had never expected Sora to bring up the matter so openly.
Especially now.
The Most Beautiful Female Selection involved numerous surrounding tribes.
If the truth about Serena’s birth spread at this time, Lyra’s reputation would suffer.
She clenched her fists.
Finally, she could only compromise.
"Do whatever you want."
She glared at Sora.
"Just don’t tell anyone that you’re my biological daughter."
Sora’s lips curved upward.
"Don’t worry."
She returned to grinding her powder.
"I definitely won’t say it."
Lyra stared at her for a moment, feeling that something about Sora was completely different from before.
But before she could say anything else, Sora had already turned her attention back to her work.
The conversation was over.
Not long afterward, the day of the Most Beautiful Female Selection finally arrived.
The Moon God Festival officially began.
During the day, the beastmen needed to go out hunting.
The tribe couldn’t simply stop eating because of a festival.
Therefore, the main celebrations were scheduled for the evening.
This year, it was the wolf tribe’s turn to host the celebration.
The news attracted people from many surrounding tribes.
Beastmen and females traveled from far away to participate in the festival.
There were dog-eared beastmen.
Cat-eared beastmen.
Tiger beastmen.
Fox beastmen.
And many other races Sora had never seen gathered together in one place.
By nightfall, the tribe square had completely transformed.
A huge bonfire had been lit in the center.
Bright flames danced into the night sky, illuminating the surrounding faces and making the entire square look unusually lively.
The sounds of conversation and laughter filled the air.
Beastmen moved between groups while females gathered together, waiting for the competition to begin.
Sora arrived at the square later.
The moment she stepped into the crowded area, her eyes swept across the gathering.
Then she noticed something.
A large group of beastmen had surrounded Serena.
They were smiling and flattering her, clearly trying to gain her attention.
Serena appeared to be enjoying the attention.
She was accustomed to being admired.
After all, she had previously won the title of Most Beautiful Female.
That alone had made her one of the most desirable females in the surrounding tribes.
But Serena also understood something very clearly.
The beastmen surrounding her now were nowhere near as impressive as Sora’s beast husbands.
If they had been strong enough, she could have chosen one of them long ago.
Yet she had hesitated.
The reason was simple.
She already had five beast husbands.
Choosing another husband wasn’t something she could decide casually.
Still, when Serena heard that Sora was participating in this year’s competition, her first reaction was disbelief.
Then came amusement.
She actually thinks she can compete with me?
Serena couldn’t help looking in Sora’s direction.
She had always considered herself much prettier than Sora.
And now, with so many tribes gathered together, Serena finally had the perfect opportunity.
She wanted to crush Sora completely.
She wanted everyone to see the difference between them.
More importantly, she wanted Sora’s beast husbands to see it.
Serena’s eyes slowly swept toward the direction where Sora had arrived.
A cold smile appeared on her lips.
She wanted Sora to understand something tonight.
No matter how much Sora had changed recently...
No matter how much weight she had lost...
No matter how many strange things she had learned to make...
There was still one thing Sora couldn’t easily change.
Her face.
Serena was confident that she could defeat Sora without any difficulty.
She was prettier.
She had already won the title once.
She had the attention of countless beastmen.
And she knew exactly how the competition worked.
As long as she performed normally, she believed first place would belong to her again.
What Serena didn’t know was that Sora had spent the entire day preparing something entirely different.
While everyone else was discussing beauty, Sora had been making cosmetics.
While Serena relied on her natural appearance, Sora had been preparing for transformation.
And while everyone believed Sora had come here to embarrass herself...
Sora had come with a completely different goal.
She wasn’t here merely to compete.
She was here to win.
And tonight, the entire tribe was about to witness just how different Sora had become.
