"How do I wear this?" Wen Li picked up a dress from beside her, looking at its intricate design with a frown.
"Miss, set it down; let do it for you."
Ah Qing walked over, her hands naturally gliding around Wen Li’s waist.
Speaking of which, both being half-demons, Wen Li’s figure was much better than hers when she was younger.
Was it because one was a Li Hua and the other a Cyan Snake?
This Wen’Er, she truly is beautiful.
At this mont, Ah Qing, ticulously dressing Wen Li, felt the warmth and softness under her hands. Squinting her eyes, she whispered, "Miss, turn around a bit, and I will straighten your collar."
"I understand," Wen Li smiled.
When dealing with ordinary girls, she was always the gentlest, so even though the woman in front of Wen Li was just a maid, Wen Li’s attitude remained very gentle.
Moreover...
A half-demon?
Wen Li looked into Ah Qing’s unguarded eyes, feeling the delicate touch from her hands, and found herself sowhat inexplicably... happy?
Yes, happy.
Wen Li felt that her mood was quite good at the mont, perhaps because she would soon see her junior brother and Junior Sister Yun or taste her junior brother’s cooking...
Or perhaps it was because Wen Li saw that there are half-demons in the world like Ah Qing who can live so peacefully... and she felt very gratified.
At this mont, Wen Li’s perception of Zhu Pingniang suddenly rose several levels.
No matter how unreliable her martial uncle was, she ultimately gave the half-demon girls a reason to live and sothing to look forward to.
"Miss, lift your hand."
"Mm."
As Ah Qing spoke, Wen Li slightly raised her hand, allowing Ah Qing to pass a layer of silk under her arm and around her.
Wen Li seriously observed the half-demon girl before her, who was proficient in dressing and had a serious look in her eyes, showing not a trace of inferiority, fear, or anxiety.
She had never expected to see a half-demon girl so skillfully integrated into her surroundings; even if Ah Qing was just a maid and had to perform on stage, it was a salvation offered by her martial uncle to the half-demon girls.
Just like what her master had given her back in the day.
At this mont, Wen Li, who had also broken free from the shackles of being a half-demon, felt a faint envy toward Ah Qing, who fit so well into the Flower Moon Building.
That envy was fleeting, so fleeting it was incredible, yet Wen Li keenly caught it.
Yes, as the Senior of Muyu Peak, Wen Li, at this mont... was actually envying an ordinary maid in the Flower Moon Building.
"Miss, your figure... it’s truly good," Ah Qing smiled.
"Mm... mm."
Obviously, Wen Li was not accustod to such topics. She carefully looked at this Miss Aqing before her and found that the emotions she could see in her eyes were few and far between; there was not a single trace of negativity.
Wen Li could only be certain of one thing: her martial uncle had protected this half-demon girl extrely well. In her, Wen Li could faintly see the peace she sought.
It seed that this half-demon girl nad Ah Qing must have a highly repetitive and monotonous daily life, doing nothing but maid duties, performing on stage, and resting day after day.
Three points in a line.
But such monotony is precisely the most precious treasure for a half-demon.
"..." Sensing Ah Qing’s hand on her waist, was she deliberately... taking advantage?
Probably not.
She was asuring her waist, perhaps for so clothes to be worn.
As Ah Qing’s hand lightly moved around Wen Li’s slender waist, Wen Li remained utterly still, only contemplating one thing.
’Sotis, is it always this reassuring to know less?’
If she had been less knowledgeable back then, could she live as ordinarily as this Miss Aqing?
Wen Li, who harbored such thoughts, was not a person to evade or be cowardly. On closer examination, her eyes were entirely clear.
She was rely observing every problem from a bystander’s perspective to better understand her heart.
Undoubtedly, Wen Li never wished to be ignorant. The Chang’an she aid for was not the small, protected Chang’an of soone like Miss Aqing.
On the contrary, these inexplicable thoughts of hers only served to strengthen her resolve.
If the world could achieve true peace and stability, then in the future, all girls would be as happy as Miss Aqing.
"...Miss, you keep staring at . What are you looking at?" At this point, Ah Qing suddenly spoke.
"You’re a half-demon. Why don’t you cover your eyes?" Wen Li asked.
"I used to cover them," Ah Qing shook her head, "but now Pingniang said we are all sisters, and so things buried for long can’t remain hidden."
She paused, seemingly troubled, looking at the not-so-long skirt on her body.
"I have my sword dance today."
"You’re going on stage?" Wen Li asked.
"I suppose I’ll take this opportunity to reveal my identity as a half-demon to the girls formally... Although the sisters already know, there always needs to be a formal occasion," Ah Qing smiled gently, "Today, with Young Master Xu here to hold down the fort, it’s most fitting."
Young Master Xu?
Is she referring to the junior brother?
Wen Li keenly noticed that when this maid ntioned ’Young Master Xu,’ a bright emotion flashed in her light-colored eyes.
Another girl caring about the junior brother, it seems.
