Behind the mirror, Ah Qing was smiling and gazing ahead.
Wen Li was holding her skirt edges up with both hands, her graceful and delicate face showing confusion, her eyes clear and pure, devoid of any impurities.
Inside the room, the sound of raindrops pattering outside the window could be heard.
Wen Li slightly widened her eyes, seemingly seeing an intensely impactful scene, causing her thoughts to wade into a muddy swamp, unable to co back to her senses for a long while.
Is the girl in the mirror herself?
Although Wen Li is a woman, she has just started to wear dresses, transitioning from Daoist robes to long gowns, from short hair to long hair. The appearance of Ah Qing, who is proficient in the Six Arts for Won and a courtesan from a brothel, was already a dinsional blow.
No doubt she never thought... she could look this good.
"..." Ah Qing was smiling and watching from the side.
She felt an unexpected sense of accomplishnt seeing Wen Li surprised by her handiwork.
It was indeed strange.
Since stepping into Qiankun, so-called accomplishnts hadn’t appeared for a long ti.
"Hmm..."
Smiling a little.
A beautiful girl, not properly dressed, is a waste—this is what Ah Qing learned at the Flower Moon Building.
Though Wen Li possesses an excellent appearance, how she dresses can’t perfectly unleash her hidden charm, while at this mont Ah Qing believes... Wen Li is perfect now.
Mainly because a girl with a touch of masculine spirit suddenly transforms into such a graceful and elegant beauty... anyone familiar with Wen Li finds it hard not to be stunned.
Wen Li: "..."
She looked at herself in the mirror.
Long gown with water sleeves, the hem gradually transitioning from white to red, reflecting silvery light under the moon outside the window.
The gown was extrely long, wrapping around her ankles, with slight dignified skirt edges exposed on the double-layered misty veil, water-green inner clothes conjoined with similarly dark green front placket at the chest, revealing Wen Li’s fair neck.
Beauty with elegance, dignified and pristine.
At this mont, the mirror reflected Wen Li as the calst woman, perhaps due to her temperant, even her stance was so graceful, warm light from Fire Stone shining on her side face, her fair skin aglow with a gentle radiance, appearing transparent and warm, so-called tranquil beauty.
Sotis, the sense of contrast indeed prevails over all aesthetics.
Actually, Wen Li’s attire isn’t an astonishing appearance, because whether at Flower Moon Building or on Muyu Peak, there are many elegant and graceful girls, who always remain calm, even when praised, they only chuckle lightly.
Neither arrogant nor proud, they are warmly elegant and make one yearn.
Compared to those who have elegance ingrained in their bones, Wen Li is evidently lacking sowhat, her deanor still carries so rigidity... but all this ans nothing before contrast.
At this mont, Wen Li, in Ah Qing’s heart, is deed perfect... well, after all, it’s the dress she chose, imperfect as it may be, it must be perfect.
"Such a dress..." Wen Li regained her composure, gently furrowing her brow.
And the girl in the mirror followed suit, furrowing her brow, arousing profound heartache.
"Sohow, it doesn’t quite suit ." Wen Li said, turning back.
She rely wanted an ordinary dress but hadn’t expected to be dressed like this.
"Young lady, I think it fits perfectly." Ah Qing said sincerely, "Does the lady feel... there’s sothing inappropriate about this entire dress ensemble?"
Her face was sincerely looking, as if if Wen Li really pointed out any dissatisfaction, she would imdiately change.
But Wen Li... truly couldn’t pinpoint anything flawed.
The long dress covered her body thoroughly, achieving the ultimate in modesty, if anything, it was just "inappropriate".
But Ah Qing’s next words made Wen Li lower the hand holding her skirt.
"It’s getting late, if you asked for a different gown now, it might cause so delay."
"Then let it be." Wen Li said.
"Alright." Ah Qing, seeing this, smiled, "There’s still so trimming to be done, let tidy it for you."
With that, Ah Qing had Wen Li sit before the mirror, busy tidying as she observed Wen Li.
This Wen’er, treating those weaker than herself without dispute or haste, patient and courteous, displaying kindness inadvertently, never causing any discomfort...
Thinking carefully, Wen Li, with this character, is inherently dignified and elegant.
If Wen Li were a man, she certainly would be an unqualified "Gentleman," neither the type who hides behind empty walls nor a lecherous guardian, but a true Gentleman.
Just like... an orchid.
Hmm, not referring to Jin Lan here.
Ah Qing found it hard to imagine, such a Wen Li was surprisingly a Half-Demon, possessing such sharp and unparalleled Sword Intent.
Even in her era, such a girl was extrely rare.
What a pity.
Ah Qing thought if Wen Li and she had been girls of the sa era, perhaps with such a radiant person alongside her, she too would have embarked on a different path.
"What a pity." Ah Qing sighed.
"Hmm?" Wen Li lifted her head.
"The lady’s newly grown long hair, if it were a bit longer..." Ah Qing gently shook her head, thinking that if Wen Li’s hair were longer, her displayed dignity and elegance could be magnified twice over, though short hair is also great, resembling a princess with a knighthood, dignified and elegant yet not short of an unattainable air.
