Maiden Galaxy

Chen Mo thought he was seeing things, to surprisingly be able to watch a living person sword dance in the middle of this array. Furthermore, the dancing sword intent was remarkable, snowflakes fluttering.

Could it be he had arrived at the array eye?

Chen Mo cautiously approached the bamboo grove, passing through the gaps in the trees to genuinely watch the girl.

The woman wore a grey wide-sleeved girdle and hanfu. The hanfu was embroidered with exquisite and blossoming chrysanthemums, their patterns like a golden thread, vivid and lifelike. The girl's long hair was like snow, her body delicate. She appeared feeble, but that chilling straight saber clearly informed other people what the result of underestimating the girl would be.1

That was a straight saber of white jade, carved with a white dragon. The edge was razor sharp. Just looking at it was enough to be chilling. 

The young woman sword danced in the snowfall, her technique graceful.

Each stroke of her sword seemed to drag a snowflake along the swordtip, stopping in the middle for some time with each movement. Her gestures were neither rushed nor slow, as natural as a fish in water.

When saber-light flashed, a large swathe of snow and frost blossomed from the swordtip, unfolding like a lotus flower. The snowflakes fluttering in the surroundings also disintegrated amidst the sword-light, dimming.

Chen Mo watched, stupefied, practically forgetting he was in a danger zone.

The girl's dance was increasingly chilling, like a winter freeze.
