A Former Police Officer Who Died And Get A Second Life! Chapter 158: A Blushing Beauty

He pointed to one of the dresses Sarin had given her.

It was a pale yellow dress.

At first glance it looked simple, but it had delicate embroidery that gave it a refined and elegant feeling.

"I’ll leave the shoes to you, since I don’t really know much about them," Qiong Xing continued. "For makeup, don’t use the bold style you usually wear, just use sothing light and... ah, your hair should be taken care of first. Please co over here."

Katarina looked completely confused as Qiong Xing guided her to a single chair and made her sit down.

Without even asking for permission, he loosened her hair. Then he lightly dampened it with magic and began spreading honey through it without hesitation.

At first Katarina protested loudly, wondering what he was doing.

But the mont Qiong Xing said, "I’m going to make you even more beautiful, Katarina," her face turned bright red and she fell silent.

While taking advantage of that mont, Qiong Xing quickly finished applying the honey as a hair treatnt.

With what was left, he also gently rubbed so onto her hands.

"It’s only a simple treatnt," he explained, "but it still works well. The only problem is that it gets a bit sticky."

Katarina let him do whatever he wanted.

While they waited for the hair treatnt to work, Qiong Xing massaged her hands.

After a while she quietly thanked him, saying it felt very pleasant.

"Alright, that should be enough," Qiong Xing said after checking her hair. "Now please go change. We’ll wait outside the room, so let us know when you’re done."

"Ah... alright," Katarina replied awkwardly.

Since ti was short, Qiong Xing used magic to quickly wash the honey out of Katarina’s hair.

After that, he waited while she finished changing clothes and putting on her makeup.

Partway through, Sarin returned.

However, Qiong Xing didn’t allow him to enter the room and told him to wait outside.

For so reason, Sarin looked extrely happy when he heard that.

"I’m glad you’re here," Sarin said with a bright smile.

"...I don’t really understand what you an, but I’m glad things worked out," Qiong Xing replied.

Sarin kept smiling to himself.

Qiong Xing decided not to ask any further questions and mostly because it looked like it would beco troubleso.

Soon they were called into the room.

When Qiong Xing stepped inside, he saw Katarina standing there and beautifully dressed.

"Wonderful! This is wonderful, Katarina!" Sarin exclaid.

Sarin looked like he was about to run over and hug her, but Qiong Xing quickly stopped him.

"Please don’t. You’ll wrinkle the dress," he said firmly.

Katarina’s face was bright red.

"Alright, alright," Qiong Xing continued. "Instead of doing that, Mr. Sarin, you should quickly go change into proper clothes as well."

"Huh?"

"What do you an ’huh’?" Qiong Xing said. "What’s the point of only Katarina changing? You need to wear sothing that won’t embarrass her when you walk beside her. Now hurry up and go change."

Still looking confused, Sarin ran off to change his clothes.

After watching him leave, Qiong Xing turned back to Katarina and smiled warmly.

"You look very beautiful," he said. "See? It suits you perfectly, doesn’t it?"

Normally Katarina wore simple clothes like pants and a shirt. She often chooses practicality over appearance.

But now, wearing the elegant dress, she looked like a refined lady.

She glanced away shyly but nodded.

"It’s been a long ti since I wore sothing like this," she said. "It feels a little strange... but it also makes happy."

"Well, Mr. Sarin chose it while thinking about you," Qiong Xing replied. "Ah, right. Here, please take this."

While waiting for Sarin to finish changing, Qiong Xing handed her a small note he had prepared earlier.

"What’s this?" Katarina asked.

"It’s a shopping list," Qiong Xing explained. "I don’t really know which stores are good, so please go together with Mr. Sarin and buy these things."

He thought for a mont before continuing.

"Let’s see... I’ll be at Naz’s brewery. When you’re finished, could you co there to et ?"

After saying that, Qiong Xing left the room with Albe before even waiting to hear her answer.

...

"I have never felt this embarrassed in my entire life!" Katarina shouted.

"That ans it was a valuable experience," Qiong Xing replied calmly. "I’m glad you enjoyed it."

"I-I didn’t enjoy—"

"It was truly a wonderful day! Seeing Katarina blush bright red like that—"

Punch!!

"..."

...Is he still alive?

Sarin who had been speaking excitedly was suddenly punched hard across the face.

With a loud sound, he collapsed onto the ground.

His body twitched slightly, which ant he was still breathing.

That was a rather intense way to hide embarrassnt.

Not only Albe who stood beside Qiong Xing, but even Naz and the others who had been watching from a distance were shocked and trembling in fear.

After all, they had just been happy to see Qiong Xing arrive.Then suddenly a well-dressed man and woman had burst in through the door with enough force that it almost looked like they were going to kick it down.

Of course they were surprised.

"Was my help unnecessary?" Qiong Xing asked.

"I-I never said that," Katarina replied quickly. "I was just saying... that it was embarrassing..."

Just as Katarina said, she was probably simply embarrassed.

Most likely Sarin had been so happy seeing her dressed up that he exaggerated his praise and proudly showed her off to everyone around them.

From what it sounded like, most people had simply reacted by saying that she looked familiar.

No one believed that their bold and strong guild master could actually be the woman standing in front of them.

"I’m glad to hear that," Qiong Xing said. "Thank you for running the errands for . With this stomach, it’s difficult for to go into crowded places."

Of course, it was mainly because moving around had beco harder for him.

But there was also another reason.
