Chapter 1108: Chapter 608: Miss Yun Doesn’t Care About the Barrier (Two-in-One)

As Miss Aqing bowed and performed the servant’s etiquette, her fingers grasped her jet-black hair, curling it around her wrist to form a flower.

With one hand stabilizing the hem of her skirt and lifting it slightly, the smile at the corner of her mouth radiated a spring-like charm, a sight that would surely plant a Heart Demon in any member of the Demon Sect who saw it.

Blame everything on Shi Qingjun.

It’s nothing to do with Miss Aqing.

Miss Aqing thought this way... Although she performed the etiquette, she did not want the young master to think she was servile when facing Shi Qingjun. In this world, the only ones who could make her bow her head, besides the young master and Miss Yun, were... the direct supervisor at the Flower Moon Building responsible for distributing her monthly salary.

"...Tsk."

Aqing sighed helplessly.

It seems that I’m not really that accomplished, to actually ’fear’ the supervisor.

She smiled.

But there’s no other way because if you’re a courtesan, being afraid of and respecting the ’supervisor’ is also part of the rules.

She possessed half of the Qiankun Realm in Qing Province and always had her own base to return to, no matter the strange occurrences. Hence, even when showing respect to Shi Qingjun at the banquet table, her delicate chin remained slightly lifted, and her long neck possessed the elegance of a swan.

Facing the banquet table sideways, Miss Aqing parted her thin lips slightly.

"Shi Qingjun, the next time we meet, it will be when I kill you..."

"...?" Shi Qingjun looked at Aqing strangely, as she couldn’t detect the slightest hint of murderous intent from Aqing’s voice.

"It’s nothing, I just wanted to say this." Aqing squinted her eyes and smiled.

Of course, it was a joke.

To be honest, she had often thought that her conversations with Shi Qingjun would end unpleasantly with such ’harsh words’. Yet surprisingly, they had ended well.

"I was just saying, because... I felt, if I don’t say it this time, I might not have the opportunity again in the future." Aqing looked at the woman in front of her, secretly thinking that she could vaguely sense her relationship with Shi Qingjun was heading in an unpredictable direction, becoming entirely uncontrollable.

"Don’t you think our conversation should have ended on this kind of note?" Aqing asked.

"So that’s what you think." Shi Qingjun looked at Aqing, her deep eyes reflecting a glaze-like color.

"Hey, don’t look at me like that, as if I’m the only one being petty." Aqing walked over discontentedly and lightly nudged Shi Qingjun: "Weren’t you treating me as a rival for Dao Rhyme in the past."

"That’s true." Shi Qingjun nodded, acknowledging the reasoning.

At the same time, the atmosphere gradually quieted down.

"Shi Qingjun."

"Hmm."

"Do you think I’m a beautiful woman?" Aqing suddenly asked, a question that left Shi Qingjun puzzled.

"Yes." Shi Qingjun replied expressionlessly, having grown accustomed to Aqing’s somewhat ’wild’ thoughts, she nodded without any hesitation, acknowledging Aqing’s beauty.

Even though few could see the true appearance of the Demon Sect Lady, in terms of appearance, just her having stepped into the Qiankun was enough to naturally bestow her with an exceptional aura, as after all, one representing Frosty Heaven wouldn’t truly appear as ordinary-looking as Aqing did now.

Aqing was a woman of another dimension of appearance; even compared to Wen Li, she came up short when faced with the real her.

"...Interesting." Aqing lightly covered her face and laughed softly at Shi Qingjun’s serious tone.

She never would have imagined that one day she would receive a compliment and affirmation about her appearance from Shi Qingjun, an event so peculiar, it brought an uncontrollable smile to her lips.

She found some confidence in Shi Qingjun’s presence.

Being recognized for her looks by the Immortal Chaoyun, it made her all the more qualified to be a servant to the young master?

Slowly exhaling a clear breath, Aqing gazed at the woman in front, in a light-colored long dress, seemingly ordinary without anything particularly memorable about the Lord of Qingzhou.

In truth, Shi Qingjun never gave off an especially stunning impression to people, at the least not reaching the level of herself, Wen Li, or Yun Qian. Otherwise, her arrival at the Flower Moon Building would’ve stirred up much trouble. If Shi Qingjun truly had such an outstanding appearance, the Flower Moon Building would’ve been in an uproar, instead of just a fixed group of women surrounding her in merry.

But she’s always been like that.

"Shi Qingjun, you’re also very beautiful." Aqing said earnestly.

"...?"

Shi Qingjun tilted her head.

Such mutual praise is known as... the courtesy of reciprocity.

Shi Qingjun felt a peculiar feeling inside.

Over the years, many things have been said about her, but no one like Aqing, who after knowing her true identity and abilities, seeing her previous attires... could still call her beautiful; she was the first.

Shi Qingjun didn’t feel happy, just found Aqing even more peculiar.

"Hmph..." Aqing raised her head: "Don’t look at me like that, I’m just speaking the truth."

To be honest, even if Shi Qingjun doesn’t dress up, even after spending so much time with her, even though she no longer looks up to this woman, her aura remains stunning... Or rather, precisely because Shi Qingjun’s halo gradually faded in her heart, she could more objectively recall everything about Immortal Chaoyun in her mind, giving a true evaluation.

The former Shi Qingjun, with that attire, seemed to isolate her inner self, making her impenetrable and completely baffling, emitting a tranquil aura of no desires or demands all over her body.
