Chapter 69: Elegant And Graceful
Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish Creek
A deluge of heavenly flowers fell from the sky, being exceptionally beautiful. Among the diverse petals, a beautiful woman descended from the sky while stepping on the flowers. The petals fell and withered, giving off a tinkling sound as one of them fell in front of Qin Mu.
He stretched his hand out but the petal melted away like a snowflake.
”Transformed from vital qi?”
Qin Mu was stunned for a while when he saw the appearance of the beautiful woman. His heart suddenly started to pound furiously.
Learning painting and calligraphy from Deaf, he knew Deaf had an incomparable brushwork that could draw all the beauty in the world. However, even with Deaf's brush skills, he was afraid that Deaf would have difficulty drawing out the appearance and distinct style of the beautiful woman.
Looking at her, Qin Mu finally understood what it meant to be incomparably beautiful. An ancient poetic essay that Deaf taught him subconsciously came up in his mind.
Her actions were as dim as the moon mantled in filmy clouds and as restless as snow whirled by the driving wind.
She struck a balance between plump and frail, the tall and short of her were justly proportioned. Her shoulders were shaped as if by carving and waist narrow as though bound by white cords. Around her slim throat and curving neck, the pale flesh was open to view. There were no scented ointments overlaying it and no coat of leaden powder applied. With her cloud-bank coiffure rising steeply and long eyebrows delicately arched, her red lips shed their light abroad, her white teeth gleaming within, her bright eyes skillful at glancing and her dimples were round off the base of the cheek. Her rare form was wonderfully enchanting, her manner quiet, her pose demure. With her gentle heart and broad mind, she was graceful with every word she spoke.
Her robe was strange with an appearance that was seldom seen. Her face and figure lived up to her paintings. Wrapped in the soft rustle of silken garments, she decked herself with flowery earrings of jasper and jade. Gold and jade hairpins adorned her head, and strings of bright pearls made her body shine. She walked with slippers fashioned for distant wandering, with airy trains of the mist like gauze in tow.
It seemed that only this ancient poetic essay was able to describe her looks and bearing.
This woman was too beautiful to be a mortal creation. One would never be able to draw such beauty with a brush, much less catch her magnificent style.
Was she really Granny Si?
”Could it be that granny killed a beautiful woman and wore her skin?” Qin Mu shivered uncontrollably as he thought of something bad.
”Hey! The one that herds cows!”
Suddenly, a girl's voice came from the back. Qin Mu turned around to look but he didn't see anyone. Raising his head up, he saw a girl sitting on the temple's eaves. Her dress went all the way to her ankles, revealed spotlessly white skin that was very exquisite.
Her feet almost dangled onto Qin Mu's head, her toes playfully curled up and down as she swung her legs.
The girl's eyes curved like a crescent moon as she said, ”The one that herds cows, come up. You can see further and clearer up here.”
Qin Mu leaped onto the temple's eaves and sat down beside her. He felt a familiar fragrance on the girl's body and was bewildered.
Two beautiful locks of hair were combed nicely and were resting on her cheeks, shaping her face to look like a sunflower seed. Her bright eyes and white teeth became crescent moons whenever she smiled. She then giggled, ”Am I chubby?”
Qin Mu nodded his head and replied honestly, ”The hair combed at the sides of your face is to make your face look thinner. However, if you part the hair, you'll still look chubby.”
The girl kicked him with her leg resentfully. Her shoes had been taken off and were placed beside her. Bare feet, she grumbled angrily, ”My chubby face is by nature, I can't do anything about that!”
Both of them dangled their legs under the temple's eaves as Qin Mu used his hands to support him. Qin Mu was bewildered as he kept having the feeling that the girl beside him looked familiar. Her emitted fragrance was even more familiar.
In front of them was the City Lord's Manor. The gate suddenly opened wide as a hundred people walked out grandiosely. The atmosphere of every one of them was exceptionally powerful. They each had an imposing and impressive appearance that was out of the ordinary. There were all outstanding divine arts practitioners of Border Dragon City with great prestige!
The man leading them was tall and sturdy. He had the eyes of a tiger and waist of a bear. He moved like a dragon and his footsteps were like a tiger. He had a grandeur that made hearts palpitate and his mustache exploded to the sides. He may not be handsome but he was very manly.
The image of a demon god appeared behind his back. That was an eight-armed god who was holding eight kinds of weapons. It should be a vital qi apparition with an extraordinary bearing.
”Ever since Cult Mistress had stolen the devil bible, Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures from Heavenly Devil Cult and escaped from Heavenly Devil Cult's sacred elders and sacred patriarch chase, you had entered Great Ruins and vanished without a trace.”
Border Dragon City Lord laughed heartily, ”I was worrying over the mistress's safety day and night and never would I have guessed that the mistress is still safe and sound. This really makes me relieved. I guess mistress must have been studying the Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures thoroughly after going into seclusion for forty years. Now that you have come out from seclusion, you shouldn't be afraid of Heavenly Devil Cult's elders or their patriarch, am I right?”
Heavenly Devil Cult Mistress had a cheerful talk with Border Dragon City Lord as if they were old friends.
Border Dragon City Lord didn't dare to go close to her and invited, ”Mistress, coincidentally my humble home is currently holding a banquet to entertain my honored guest. I've heard of mistress' arrival and we are honored by your presence, I also can't let my honored guest wait for too long so why don't mistress come into my humble home and we can all have a chat?”
The beautiful woman gave a gentle laugh, ”That's fine with me. I am also interested to see who City Lord's honorable guests are, pardon me for disturbing.”
”Mistress must be joking. Please come in!”
”That's the Border Dragon City Lord's Eightfold Heavenly God Technique.”
The girl whispered beside Qin Mu, ”It was said that Border Dragon City Lord, Fu Yundi had cultivated to the Life and Death Realm. He had successfully managed to break the wall of the Life and Death Divine Treasure and is one of the rare experts of Great Ruins!”
Qin Mu looked at Border Dragon City Lord, Fu Yundi. Fu Yundi's Eightfold Heavenly God Technique was indeed extraordinary. If he executed it, the heavenly god will definitely have eight faces and be able to see all the things around him. He will also be able to attack all the enemies around him. Qin Mu exclaimed in admiration, ”It's indeed a powerful technique.”
The girl asked with interest, ”You, who herds cows, are also very powerful. What technique are you cultivating?”
”Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique.”
