The Hidden Ugliness Walkthrough

Step Objectives
1
After triggering the encounter, approach the children outside of Lady Ugly's house and talk to them. When you're done scolding them, enter the house and speak with Lady Ugly.
2
Take a walk with Lady Ugly in the Flower Expanse. Keep walking with her until she stops to appreciate a red flower.
3
Return to Lady Ugly's house and look for the letter from Water Lady. You will find it on a table near the front window.
4
Exit the house and speak to the children to have them help you capture three Mutant Golden Mantises. The mantises may be hard to see so just follow the quest markers to observe a mantis then chase it down to capture it.
5
Return to Lady Ugly's house and tell her about the riddle. She will offer you some flower cakes, so enter her house once again and join the children for a snack. Lady Ugly's flower cakes will cause you to pass out. When you regain consciousness, you will be all alone in Lady Ugly's house. Use Wind Sense to check your surroundings.
6
Wind Sense will reveal a set of footprints that lead away from Lady Ugly's house. Follow these footprints until they come to a stop near a lamp post on the side of the road. Investigate the end of the trail and you will end up in Evercare Clinic.
7
Investigate the Open Medical Manual on the ground behind Unfated Tian. After that, continue to use Wind Sense to follow the footprints away from the clinic and towards a waterfall. Enter the waterfall and speak to Lady Ugly.
8
You will wake up in Evercare Clinic after your encounter with Lady Ugly in the waterfall. Speak to Yao Yaoyao, then visit the three children in Harvestfall Village.
9
After speaking to the children's families, return to Lady Ugly's house to visit her grave. You can find it beside the red flower from earlier in the quest. Pick up the Disguise Balm then pay your respects.
10
Interact with the grave one more time and decide what to do with the Disguise Balm and the children. Your decision here will affect some of the dialogue, but the quest rewards will remain the same.
