CHAPTER 226: 0155 YUN QIAN’S WISH IS VERY SIMPLE (TWO-IN-ONE)_2

"Just this one." Yun Qian was unwavering, her tone calm yet undeniable.

Since Li Zhibai is someone Xu Chang’an likes, having her teach Yun Qian the way of applying makeup... would naturally be more useful than what’s written in books, Xu Chang’an might like it.

The mere fact that her husband would like it, she couldn’t miss it.

"I think I should have made it very clear." Li Zhibai held her forehead with one hand: "Sister, you are really a strange person."

Strange, yet natural.

Naturally strange.

Quite contradictory.

At that moment, Li Zhibai was even more certain of her evaluation of Yun Qian.

Equality in nature, natural Daoist laws.

Could she really be suitable for cultivating the Dao?

She thought Yun Qian and Xu Chang’an were not alike at all, the former seemed not too clever, while the latter was cautious and pragmatic.

Li Zhibai glanced in the direction of the Hundred Herbs Garden, took back her gaze after a moment, and said, "If Chang’an knows you’re asking for such a meeting gift, he..."

"He?" Yun Qian said softly, "He wouldn’t say anything."

Her husband understands her nature the best.

Besides, if her husband really wanted cultivation techniques or whatever, with a system, those techniques would be in plenty.

However...

Yun Qian noticed that since Xu Chang’an unblocked the source, he appears to have a better impression of the system on the surface, but in reality... hasn’t paid attention to it at all, not knowing whether it’s caution or something else.

——

The rouge on Yun Qian’s lips had already been eaten clean, so she said, "Teach me."

"Now?" Li Zhibai was taken aback again.

This sister has a big problem.

The matter of not being able to cultivate the elixir field didn’t make her anxious, but now about a rouge makeup, she’s so urgent that her embroidered shoes were spinning on the floor.

"Right now." Yun Qian said.

"Alright, but it’s been many, many years since I last did makeup, and there’s no rouge here either." Li Zhibai was saying this when she noticed Yun Qian’s slightly furrowed Liu Mei, promptly changed her words, and said, "But that’s not a problem, I’ll find someone to get some rouge, sister, follow me to my room and wait for a while."

At this moment, Li Zhibai indeed exuded the aura of a doting elder sister.

With the opportunity to learn rouge makeup, Yun Qian didn’t mind being taken as a sister and walked upstairs with Li Zhibai.

——

Shortly afterwards, in front of the Sword Hall.

A woman in a plain white dress arrived, who else could it be but Wen Li’s master.

The relationship between the two couldn’t be said to be excellent, at most, they had some intersections.

Only to see the woman in white with a strange expression handing a rouge box to Li Zhibai.

"Junior sister, sorry to trouble you with the trip." Li Zhibai thanked her softly.

"Senior Li... what are you going to do with this thing?"

"Rouge makeup."

"..." The woman in white drew hard at the corner of her mouth, she certainly knew it was for rouge makeup.

Others might not know Li Zhibai’s identity and abilities, but how could she not know?

This woman is the Pill Master.

When did she ever wear makeup?

???

What on earth is happening today?

But she instinctively sensed a smell of trouble, didn’t pursue further, and immediately redirected the topic.

"Is that Miss Yun with you?" the woman in white asked.

"This matter should be known by everyone on the mountain by now." Li Zhibai replied helplessly.

"It’s nothing." The woman in white clicked her tongue, she didn’t know what Li Zhibai and Yun Qian were up to, but both are big troublemakers, she couldn’t be bothered, if it weren’t for Li Zhibai’s rare return message after so many years, she wouldn’t have made a special trip.

The woman in white looked in the direction of the Sword Hall where Yun Qian was, murmuring softly, "By the way, I went to check on her, there’s a serious leak in the elixir field, but it’s a minor matter."

It’s very simple to fix.

"Hmm." Li Zhibai nodded.

"And one more thing." The woman in white recalled what Wen Li mentioned before, her eye twitching fiercely: "Senior sister, I have... encountered some trouble concerning Ah Li, though you only taught her for six months, she listens to you."

"Wen Li?" Li Zhibai was puzzled: "What happened?"

"You’d better ask your good student." The woman in white gritted her teeth.

"Chang’an? What has she done to Wen’Er?" Li Zhibai shook her head.

Given Xu Chang’an’s personality, what could he have done to Wen Li?

"... Never mind, just consider I didn’t say anything." In the end, the woman in white didn’t mention Wen Li’s reluctance to practice swordsmanship, after all, Wen Li just mentioned it, not having any real intention of giving up the Sword Dao.

As a girl unable to clarify her mind, especially Wen Li, this was nothing to boast about.

If Ah Li genuinely wanted to abandon the Sword Dao, it would be a huge event, who knows what kind of reaction it would elicit in the cultivation realm.

Those sword cultivators are all extremely troublesome, some old monsters with their eyes on Wen Li’s talent...

Currently, nobody must be allowed to know.

Troublesome, troublesome.

The woman in white hurried her steps and disappeared in front of the Sword Hall in the blink of an eye.

"Strange." Li Zhibai muttered, watching her junior sister’s departure with a bit of oddity, but she didn’t pay it too much mind as she was still concerned about Yun Qian.

——

In Li Zhibai’s boudoir, Yun Qian stood by the window, watching the direction in which the woman in white left, and stretched lazily.

Sword Dao?

Who cares about that?

However... if her husband indeed needs a guide in the Sword Dao, then it’s needed.

Wen Li is a good fit.

More than the Sword Dao, Yun Qian is more interested in the makeup-clueless Miss Wen herself.

Because even Wen Li herself can’t figure out if she likes Xu Chang’an, so in Yun Qian’s heart — her standing isn’t high.

Like Xu Chang’an’s handwriting, like drinking his tea, these are signs of a bit of insight, but it’s still not better than liking him as a person.

Wen Li is insightful but just not insightful enough, or, not quite smart?

Yun Qian’s gaze fell on the half-drunk tea on Li Zhibai’s table, thinking she prefers wine over tea, just like preferring Wine Lady Liu Qingluo over Senior Wen Li.

"Sister, I’m back."

There was not much time for Yun Qian to daydream, as Li Zhibai pushed open the door with the rouge box.

Li Zhibai stepped over the threshold and, seeing a girl waiting in her boudoir, felt somewhat odd, but quickly said, "These are the rouges the girls made themselves, I got some from my junior sister."

"Hmm." Yun Qian responded, "How are you planning to teach me, elder sister?"

Li Zhibai, with a spark of interest in her eyes, looked at the girl in front of her, more exquisite than the finest doll in the world, and said, "Before teaching you to apply makeup, I should at least show you my skills."

"You mean... I should first be a model for you?" Yun Qian understood.

"Exactly."

"Go ahead."

"No rush." Li Zhibai waved her hand, looking at the "well-behaved" Yun Qian, as if something crossed her mind, she tentatively said, "Sister, look into my eyes."

"..." Yun Qian’s gaze fell on Li Zhibai’s ordinary face, her clear eyes holding a trace of doubt.

Li Zhibai had a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, "Turn around."

Yun Qian lifted her skirt and twirled in place, after setting her feet steady, the black and white skirt twisted and rippled like waves.

"Sister... you look beautiful." Li Zhibai couldn’t help but say.

Having such a perfect person as a model for makeup, for a woman, it could only be this blissful.

Dressing up dolls is an innate trait of women.

Li Zhibai was once an ordinary girl a long time ago; otherwise, how could she know makeup techniques?

She quite liked Yun Qian’s "physique" that evoked her past memories.

That’s what Li Zhibai wanted, so she didn’t restrain her "desire" towards Yun Qian at all.

"What’s this for?" Yun Qian asked, puzzled.

"Oh, I was just pondering what kind of makeup would suit you better." Li Zhibai shook her head, "But now, it seems there’s entirely no need for makeup."

She was already as good-looking as could be.

"Makeup will bring him a fresh sensation." Yun Qian said calmly.

Li Zhibai: "..."

Li Zhibai thought she didn’t want to know the ways of husband and wife interactions, but she had to admit, Yun Qian’s words made sense.

Learning makeup, of course, men will like it more.

The crucial point isn’t the makeup, but the wife’s desire to please her husband.

Who doesn’t like a girl who strives to please them?

"Chang’an is not someone who likes the new and forgets the old." Li Zhibai spoke on behalf of her student.

"It’s not about him, as long as he likes me, that’s enough." Yun Qian sat in front of the dressing table, turned back, and said, "Before he returns... make me up in a way that he’ll like, can you, elder sister?"

"I can." In Yun Qian’s eyes, Li Zhibai saw a few more degrees of fervor.

At this moment, she seemed to return to her youthful times.

To apply makeup on such a perfect girl’s face...

She very much enjoyed it.
