No.
Ah Qing’s heart tightened.
Yun Qian wasn’t looking at her eyes but deliberately avoiding them, only focusing on her body... so it couldn’t be said that she was unafraid...
As she was thinking, Ah Qing t Yun Qian’s gaze.
What kind of eyes were those...
Ah Qing’s divine sense was covered by a layer of dust at that mont.
She realized she had never truly looked at this girl’s eyes.
No abyss-like attraction, no fearso majesty.
Ordinary.
Black.
Very beautiful.
Is that all...?
Ah Qing was stunned as she noticed Yun Qian’s gaze fixating on her eyes... and not moving away.
Yun Qian was looking at her.
She was looking at herself.
Seriously... like appraising a treasure... watching her eyes.
Though the range was small, Ah Qing could clearly feel Yun Qian observing the corner of her eyes, her light green irises, scrutinizing her seemingly terrifying slit pupils.
Ah Qing’s heart sped up slightly.
How long has it been...
No.
Never before.
Since birth, there had never... never been soone who examined her eyes so ticulously.
And in such a situation, Yun Qian’s detailed observation, as if attempting to rember every detail near her eyes, every glance, even every eyelash... made Ah Qing panic.
She suddenly felt as if she were completely undressed, even opening up her sea of consciousness for Yun Qian to see.
Ah...
How terrifying were this Miss Yun’s ordinary, black eyes.
Thus, sothing Ah Qing never expected happened.
Intending to frighten Yun Qian, she ended up being scared into closing her eyes by Yun Qian’s serious gaze.
——
Yun Qian: "...?"
A few question marks slowly floated above Yun Qian’s head as she intently observed Ah Qing.
She had said she never closely looked at Ah Qing before, so this was making up for it, but... wasn’t she supposed to let her see? Why had she closed her eyes?
Yun Qian rembered when she covered her own eyes with a ribbon, but then it was to avoid seeing her husband injured.
What was Ah Qing’s reason?
Could she not want to see her husband cutting his hand in the kitchen?
Yun Qian blinked and softly asked, "What’s wrong with you."
"..." Listening to Yun Qian’s words, Ah Qing tried to calm herself down: "Yun, Miss Yun, what... are you looking at."
"?" Yun Qian was even more puzzled.
Looking at what?
"Your eyes." She calmly explained to Ah Qing, "You asked whether such eyes are still beautiful."
Thus, she needed to look for a while to give an answer.
Regarding her husband’s fate, the young lady’s attitude had always been serious.
"So, open your eyes and let see."
Ah Qing: "..."
Sothing’s not right.
This girl is strange.
Does her pair of demon pupils require such careful discernnt to reach a verdict?
How could it be?
Isn’t it that just one look would frighten and be considered ugly?
Could Miss Yun’s aesthetics... be flawed?
No.
Yun Qian likes Xu Chang’an, so such taste is normal.
"Open your eyes." Yun Qian repeated, then added, "Let look again."
Ah Qing slowly opened her eyes, squinting into a slit.
"..." Yun Qian gently shook her head, "Open your eyes."
Struggling a bit upon hearing, Ah Qing nonetheless slowly opened her eyes, unwilling to conceal her pupils again, exposing her truest self to Yun Qian once more.
At that mont, she truly felt like a convicted prisoner waiting for a verdict.
"You were squinting like you hadn’t fully woken up." Yun Qian looked at Ah Qing and seriously said, "This is much more beautiful."
It is beautiful.
Having observed, she confird the answer to this question.
Ah Qing asked her if it was still beautiful, and she found it beautiful.
"..."
How beautiful... how beautiful...
Yun Qian’s voice echoed in her ear.
With this answer, Ah Qing stood there stunned for a long ti.
At this mont, the mahogany corridor was quiet, both sides covered by screens, the lights dim.
Suddenly, Ah Qing didn’t particularly like such a quiet environnt, as it made her realize how intense her heartbeat was now.
She wondered how this Miss Yun ca to the conclusion that her eyes were still beautiful.
At this mont, besides thinking of Yun Qian as ignorant, she labeled her as peculiar.
After a long silence, Ah Qing looked at Yun Qian with her demon eyes and seriously asked:
"Miss Yun, aren’t you afraid?"
"Should I be afraid?"
Yun Qian’s calm, naturally puzzled tone left Ah Qing speechless.
She stared at Yun Qian for a while.
Could there truly be soone who doesn’t mind the eyes of a half-demon?
No way.
Thus, she thought Yun Qian might just not understand what being a half-demon represents and happened to be brave.
"Young lady, I am a half-demon." Ah Qing said.
"Mm, I know." Yun Qian nodded, thinking she must have cald down since she referred to herself as ’concubine’ again.
"Do you know what a half-demon is?" Ah Qing asked.
"I know." Yun Qian nodded, thinking Xu Chang’an had talked to her about it, and she had also learned about it herself.
"I do not believe the young lady is knowledgeable." Ah Qing shook her head.
"Do you think I’m ignorant?" Yun Qian looked at her.
"How could it be." Ah Qing couldn’t help but sigh, "I just think... the young lady is kind."
Hearing this, Yun Qian’s eyes grew more curious as she looked at Ah Qing.
Kind?
But Ah Qing did not give Yun Qian much ti to think, she simply started explaining to Yun Qian.
Under the dim light.
Ah Qing slowly, word by word, explained the origin and hazards of half-demons to Yun Qian.
Including the event where nearby towns to Beisang City were completely destroyed by a bloodline-devolved, out-of-control half-demon, was also told to Yun Qian.
After explaining, Ah Qing once again said, "Miss Yun, I am a half-demon, do you understand now?"
After speaking, Ah Qing looked at Yun Qian, only to see Yun Qian gazing at her with a puzzled expression.
"I understand." Yun Qian nodded and looked at her calmly, "You are a half-demon, I know."
"Young lady, I am a half-demon." Ah Qing smiled wryly.
"Why do you keep repeating that in one sentence."
Miss Yun thought this girl was not very wise.
Ah Qing: "..."
She suddenly understood.
Turns out this girl knows everything.
Turns out she really doesn’t care.
Turns out she considered her eyes beautiful knowing everything.
She originally thought Yun Qian was naïve, but reality told her this Miss Yun was like Young Master Xu.
The artiste-courtesans of Flower Moon Building dislike discrimination but detest false sympathy even more.
Ah Qing thought she was the sa since she was a girl from Flower Moon Building.
And at this mont, Yun Qian’s calmness was akin to a sharp sword piercing her heart, leaving deep marks once again where Xu Chang’an had left his imprint.
"Miss Yun." Ah Qing cald down and then looked at Yun Qian.
As her gaze t Yun Qian’s eyes again.
Just like Yun Qian carefully examined her eyes, she also looked at Yun Qian, seemingly wanting to know exactly what was in this girl’s mind.
This ti, she suddenly felt Yun Qian’s once ordinary eyes beca extrely attractive.
Ordinary?
No, clearly they were exquisite.
How beautiful were this girl’s eyes?
In this mont, Ah Qing felt Yun Qian’s eyes were like the rising sun she had once seen on the boy’s horizon, the girl’s brilliance piercing through all the haze like bright sunlight.
She previously found Yun Qian’s eyes ordinary, but now found them full of allure.
The black pupils seed to hold all the treasures of the world, whether the eternal night abyss, the fixed star heaven, the Demon Race Holy Hall, or Taihua Divine Peak, all hidden in the girl’s eyes.
A person’s perceived treasures depend on their knowledge.
At this mont, Ah Qing felt that all the precious things in her heart could be found in this girl’s eyes.
She... sowhat liked this girl.
