The air seemed to freeze, and everyone stared motionlessly at the stunningly beautiful woman slowly descending the stairs.
The moment I saw her, even breathing became a difficult thing.
Su Ning wore no heavy makeup, only a silver foil star between her eyebrows. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes were like autumn waters rippling across the surface, and her eyes held a pool of moonlight, clear and gentle. Her lips were painted with a light touch of rose rouge.
She wore a flowing, moon-white gown that trailed on the ground. The hem was embroidered with intertwined osmanthus blossoms in silver thread, with tiny pearls adorning the winding branches. As she moved, the pearls swayed gently, making a rustling sound, as if she were covered in stars.
A white silk ribbon was tied around her waist, with three crescent-shaped jade pendants hanging from both ends. The jade pendants touched each other and tinkled crisply. When she moved, her clothes fluttered like flowing clouds formed from moonlight.
As if she had seen something amusing, she chuckled and waved her slender hand in front of the boy's eyes. "Yue Zijin, why are you staring like that?"
Everyone's eyes were glued to her until she smiled, at which point a collective gasp filled the small study.
Yue Zijin couldn't bear to blink, his nose filled with the exceptionally special fragrance emanating from the girl before him.
Just as Yue Zijin has smelled countless scents, Su Ning's fragrance is always special, uniquely belonging to the person before him.
He was so engrossed in watching that his breathing slowed down, and he felt a dryness in his throat, as if something had hit his chest, and a burning heat surged up his neck.
Suddenly I felt a heat in my nasal cavity, and warm liquid flowed down without warning.
He hurriedly raised his hand to cover it, and when his fingertips touched that dampness, his ears instantly turned bright red, and his cheeks burned intensely.
Tang Xi, standing to the side, mercilessly exposed him, laughing loudly, "Yue Zijin, you're bleeding from your nose!"
Even Pei Yunlian couldn't help but chuckle, covering her lips with her hand, afraid of bursting out laughing.
Yue Zijin suddenly turned away, raised her hand and pressed it hard against her nose, her face as red as a monkey's bottom, whether from embarrassment or something else, it was hard to tell.
"Su Su, you, you should stop looking at me and go look at someone else."
Yue Zi felt like he was on fire, but he also hated himself for being so pathetic. How could he have lost face in front of Su Su like that? His image in Su Su's eyes was completely ruined.
Su Ning stopped teasing the boy and instead went to Tang Xi's side. Looking at Tang Xi's dazed expression, she found it amusing. When had Miss Tang ever shown such a cute and innocent look?
She reached out and took Tangxi's hand. Because she had practiced martial arts since childhood, Tangxi's fingers were not as soft as those of a typical woman; a thin layer of calluses could be felt on them.
She placed the other person's hand next to her cheek, then smiled gently: "Xixi, am I pretty?"
Tang Xi had completely lost the ability to move, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with the girl's face before her. "Beautiful, Su Su is the most beautiful woman in the world."
Then, swallowing hard, she looked away and said, "Su Su, stop tempting me. I don't want to end up like Yue Zijin, so humiliated."
Only after Su Ning let go of her hand did Tang Xi suddenly feel a sense of loss. Su Ning's face was so soft.
Su Ning then approached the young swordsman. Compared to Yue Zijin's exaggerated manner and Tang Xi's difficulty, Pei Yunlian seemed a bit too calm.
However, if you look closely, you'll see that his hand, which is holding the sword, is gripping the scabbard tightly.
As if he was suppressing something, Su Ning noticed with her sharp eyes that the tips of his ears, hidden among his hair, were as red as a pomegranate.
Su Ning suddenly leaned closer to him, and heard the pounding of his heart like a drum. She looked up and met the boy's dark eyes, her eyebrows curving into a smile: "I heard it, your heart is beating so fast."
Pei Yunli died.
"Susu, stop looking at me."
Pei Yunlian uttered these words with difficulty. He couldn't control his gaze and could only beg the girl in front of him to have some pity on him and stop teasing him.
"SuSu, the main characters are completely smitten with you."
Xiao Qi couldn't help but marvel at the stunned expressions of the main characters.
This was exactly the effect Su Ning wanted; only this kind of effect could impress those privileged young men.
Yue Zi has recovered now. Although it's embarrassing to have a nosebleed, Su Su is not an outsider, so let him be embarrassed.
"What should I do? I suddenly don't want you to be the Moon Goddess anymore," Tangxi sighed.
A strange feeling arose in her heart: Su Su is so wonderful, why should she be shown to others?
Pei Yunlian and Yue Zijin spoke in unison: "Me too."
The two men looked at the girl before them; she was their treasure and should be carefully cherished.
Su Ning looked at the three of them helplessly, "I've already changed my clothes, do you expect me to take them off again?"
According to Yanwu, each time the Moon Goddess's clothes are hand-embroidered by dozens of embroiderers, and all of these embroiderers are veterans who have been embroidering for decades.
Because the selection of the Moon Goddess requires a rigorous process, the embroiderers would first design a rough waistline, and then make modifications after the chosen candidate was confirmed.
Although Su Ning's decision was unexpected, it didn't bother them. After all, the dress was originally unclaimed, so only Su Ning could wear it now.
Even if she wanted to quit now, she couldn't, since there was no time left to make changes.
Seeing that there was no way to turn things around, the three of them were both happy and worried.
After all, playing the role of the Moon Goddess is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the thought of Su Ning appearing in front of everyone made them feel a little uncomfortable.
"Alright, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's have a drink together after the ceremony."
Su Ning comforted her.
"SuSu is right, tonight we're definitely going to drink until we drop!"
The four reached a consensus.
Upstairs, Yanwu looked at the spirited young men below and couldn't help but smile. "Seeing A Ning was an accident, but now that she has friends with her, I can't very well play the bad guy."
Zhenniang felt a little regretful upon hearing Yanwu's words, but it seemed to be more of a blessing.
So he boldly asked, "Are you... going on a pleasure boat tonight?"
From the painted boats on the Peach Blossom River, one can clearly see the procession of the Moon Goddess.
Zhenniang secretly hoped that her master could reconcile with that person.
Yanwu paused, then glanced at Zhenniang, "That day will come, but not now."
Watching her employer's departing figure, Zhenniang sighed.
……
As dusk settled, the Moon Goddess Ceremony had not yet begun, but the streets were already packed with people of all ages.
"Hey, have you heard? It seems Miss Xu isn't chosen as the Moon Goddess tonight?"
"Oh? Could it be Miss Zhu from the Xuan Nu School?"
"It doesn't seem so."
The man looked at the people in front of him with some surprise, "If it's not these two, are there any other candidates tonight?"
After all, the Moon Goddess Ritual in Fuxian Town is famous.
Many of those who came to Fuxian Town tonight to watch the parade were there to admire the charm of the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world.
Even if we don't see Xu Heyu, seeing Zhu Qing would still be a wonderful thing.
