30 Starlight Continen (1/2)
A hooded figure donned in a black and purple shoulder cloak (Is this what they are called?) entered the ever so hectic Rarity Dew Auction House, the woman took off her hood revealing a captivating woman with a bob hairstyle, despite a mask being upon her face it couldn't hide her beauty.
Zi Hua had sent Gardenia to Rarity Dew Auction House to sell a pill that she had made, she had Gardenia wear a mask to hide her beauty as to appear less eye-catching, she too had done the same along with Anemone, they had just arrived in an unfamiliar continent and was in the enemy's territory, it would be bad to reveal their appearances.
Although she was the one that made them take the beautifying pill, beauty can give others a better first impression, but it also made them more distinct and recognizable.
Gardenia was more sociable and out-going so she would usually handle these jobs whereas Anemone was anti-social ahem I mean less friendly and more withdrawn.
They could have some mystery to prevent others' from going against them but gather attention at the same time since if they can bring out such valuable pills they must have some extra-ordinary background and totally not some overpowered people from Starlight Continent.
Others' will think that they are some people from some big sect and was sent out for training or whatever reasons. Though, that is half correct.
Gardenia wore a lilac hanfu without the usual extravagant sleeves and more similar to a dress that independent female cultivators would wear, a gardenia flower decoration hung from her waist band, the dress stopped just before it reaches the ground to prevent tripping over the hem.
Correspondingly, Anemone wore the same outfit except that it was a purple anemone flower instead of a gardenia flower.
Zi Hua, however, wore a above-the-knee-length purple and slightly white dress/hanfu that had a wide ribbon and several thinner ribbons tied at the waist and the sleeves had a trail of lace attached to it, the hem of the dress had ripples and was V-shaped which resembled petals, giving out the appearance of a fairy.
All this was, of course, made by Zi Hua.
When her hood was taken off, the bustling halted and all eyes were on her, an employee immediately went up to welcome here, with just one look you could see that the lady had a special background, especially with the clothes she wore, they looked extremely valuable but the veteran employee couldn't identify it.
”Dear customer, are you here to buy or sell?” The employee politely approached her.
”I'm here to sell, please bring me to one of your appraisers” Gardenia gave off an affable attitude.
”Yes of course, this way please” When the lady left. the auction resumed its previous activity however the guests were all wondering who the mysterious lady was, all those who come here all have some sort of background.
But to there dismay, even after mobilizing their forces the only information they could get was that the lady had entered the city the previous day with two others.
