CHAPTER 228: 0156 LI ZHIBAI SATISFIES YUN QIAN (TWO IN ONE)_2

Knowing how to put on makeup, that’s something taught by close girlfriends in the girl’s teenage years.

"Chang’an already likes you very much." Li Zhibai said.

"A moment is too short." Yun Qian said, slowly lowering her eyelids, as if recalling some past memories.

Everything she does is aimed at prolonging Xu Chang’an’s fondness for her as much as possible.

"Is it about maintaining freshness? That makes sense." Li Zhibai thought it was reasonable.

Thanks to Yun Qian’s words, she gathered the courage to enhance the nearly perfect appearance.

"Bang."

Li Zhibai opened a small bottle.

Suddenly, a sweet aroma filled the air, clearly... this was the specially made rouge from Muyu Peak.

"This fragrance..." Yun Qian took a breath and looked surprised.

Li Zhibai remembered Yun Qian carrying preserved fruit, a girl’s gluttonous mentality, and softly said: "This isn’t something to eat; there should be some plum blossoms added inside."

"Plum blossoms..." Yun Qian calmly said, "I like it very much."

"As long as you like it." Li Zhibai nodded, thinking that the tranquil fragrance of plum blossoms was most suitable for a girl like Yun Qian who grew more appealing with each look. However, she was still a bit surprised by Yun Qian’s sudden confession of liking it.

With slightly awkward motions, she poured the rouge onto oil paper, gently applying it on Yun Qian’s face to lay the foundation.

After all, she hadn’t done this in a while, so she needed to regain the feeling.

Yun Qian smelled the faint fragrance and curled her lips.

There’s an unspoken meaning behind her saying she likes it...

Everything Xu Chang’an cultivated on Muyu Peak was very popular, and the rouge sent by Master Wen Li was naturally well received... So the plum blossoms added in this rouge came from Xu Chang’an.

How could Yun Qian not like it?

——

"What I’m using for you now is... hmm... let me think." Li Zhibai felt the texture on her fingers, explaining while applying makeup, "This is the foundation lotion. If the younger sister’s skin is very fair, a slight suppression of the skin tone will appear more harmonious."

Yun Qian, sickly pale, naturally had a beauty tinged with illness; choosing this foundation shade made her look softer.

"Hmm." Yun Qian responded.

Li Zhibai said this for Yun Qian to show that she truly knew how to put on makeup, and that saying she could teach her was not a joke, to make Yun Qian more confident in her.

Then, Li Zhibai completely opened the makeup box, looking at the dozens of small items inside, slightly furrowing her brow.

Clearly, there were too many tools for putting on makeup, and she recognized less than half of them as an old-fashioned person.

Feeling Li Zhibai’s distress, Yun Qian softly asked, "Do these things need to be used to make him like the makeup, sister?"

She wasn’t used to using tools for makeup herself; even putting on lip balm was done with her index finger.

"They can be used." Li Zhibai lightly opened another layer of the makeup box, exposing a dense array of bottles, powder papers below, and explained, "Back then, the makeup process was relatively simple, mostly dusting off, applying base color, powder, blush, foundation shadow, drawing eyebrows, applying rouge paper... about these steps, if skilled, it should be done in less than two quarters of an hour, slower and half an hour would suffice."

Yun Qian: "..."

Li Zhibai regrettably pointed to the makeup box: "Unfortunately, the few items I mentioned can be done with a little effort, but I don’t recognize the remaining newer makeup tools, not after a few hundred years, and I’m not sure how to use them."

She chose what she knew to apply makeup for Yun Qian.

Thinking this, she looked at Yun Qian’s face, realizing she only applied lip balm when meeting her, understanding something, and said, "Younger sister... do you think this is troublesome?"

Those not accustomed might find detailed daily makeup to be arduous and tiring.

But once it’s for someone they love, there’s no saying it’s troublesome.

"Troublesome? No, I’m saying... it’s too simple." Yun Qian shook her head, thinking if these steps done in less than half an hour could make her husband like it, how could it be troublesome?

——

Simple?

"... Nothing anymore."

Li Zhibai’s eye twitched slightly, unable to speak.

Yun Qian practically wrote her love for Xu Chang’an on her face, and Li Zhibai, a girl blank in emotion... truly found it difficult to understand.

"Don’t move."

"Hmm."

During the makeup process, Yun Qian cooperated fully, body stiff, without moving, just to make the makeup more perfect.

As long as Xu Chang’an liked it, she could hide away for ten years, a hundred years... use unimaginable time to do something he likes.

As long as he liked it, Yun Qian wouldn’t find it troublesome.

She looked at Li Zhibai’s increasingly skillful movements and thought if Xu Chang’an liked this makeup, she’d like Li Zhibai.

...

As time passed.

Li Zhibai gradually found back the feeling and memories of makeup she had in her youth on Yun Qian, her heart opened like a crack being washed by rapids, indescribably free.

Seemingly, retrieving these teenage memories could loosen the barrier in her Qiankun Realm, incredibly.

Li Zhibai then picked up the eyebrow pencil, carefully adjusting the tail of Yun Qian’s eyebrows, hardly moved, just applying a light color to make it more obvious.

Yun Qian’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, Li Zhibai smiled, extending her eyeliner a bit.

After a long time, she meticulously applied lip color to Yun Qian, reminding her not to bite her lips after, looking at the girl in the mirror with a sense of pride she couldn’t explain.

Li Zhibai’s formerly calm as water, unmoved by the world’s challenges mindset was shattered cleanly by Yun Qian.

"How does younger sister feel?" Li Zhibai’s tone lifted a bit.

Yun Qian opened her eyes to look at the makeup mirror, slightly dazed, indeed, her face, color and shadow were more three-dimensional.

Her complexion changed quite a bit, with white jade-like skin carrying a faint pink hue, her autumn eyes glossy like water, carrying a touch of spring.

At this moment, Yun Qian, compared to her usual elegant coldness, gained inexplicably more charm.

Like a fairy falling from the sky, transformed into a marriageable young woman.

"Is this... me?" Yun Qian softly spoke.

Li Zhibai nodded.

The makeup she applied belonged to the teenage years, so the makeup naturally was from those times, noble and luxurious were difficult, but charming was handily achieved.

Li Zhibai felt relieved.

She initially thought she was tarnishing a perfect thing, but fact showed... because Yun Qian was too beautiful, any makeup suited her, no need to worry at all.

Now, Yun Qian’s long brows were like paintings, watery eyes sparkled like stars, a hint of seems appropriate red blush at the corner of her eyes, most attractive.

The important thing is...

Charm.

The word "charm" never had anything to do with her, suddenly appearing on Yun Qian...

The entire world became quiet.

——

"Will he... like it?" Yun Qian’s voice was very low.

She seemed calm, but in fact was a bit anxious.

The girl’s calm and steady mindset became a mess as soon as she thought of the boy’s figure... even though there was Li Zhibai as an "outsider" before her, couldn’t hide the wavering, speeding heart.

"How could he not like it, I’m already moved." Li Zhibai sensed Yun Qian’s anxiety and smiled.

She never expected Yun Qian, who could amaze an entire Muyu Peak, would be unconfident.

If Yun Qian wasn’t beautiful, then someone like her couldn’t even step outside?

Though, indeed, she doesn’t step outside.

Li Zhibai cleared her throat, explained: "I drew sister’s brows, applied foundation, adjusted eyeliner, making sister’s naturally tranquil face more defined, seeming more mature, adding allure."

"I don’t quite understand... but as long as he likes it, that’s good." Yun Qian nodded, asking, "Is it finished?"

"Not yet." Li Zhibai, provoked by Yun Qian’s "uneasy" look, felt protective, completely forgetting she was a "Daoist Nun", directly becoming a caring elder sister.

She leaned forward, seriously whispering in Yun Qian’s ear: "A woman gets dressed up for someone who pleases her... girl’s adornment isn’t limited to makeup, hair, jewelry, clothing, each is crucial, elder sister will definitely let Chang’an see a different younger sister today, rest assured and leave it to me."
