Chapter 300 Ghost Peak Hides Weapons, Ghost Python Silver Spear, Green Snake Emerges from the Island, Madam Arrives
The news of Li Xian's recovery from his poison spread like wildfire. All the elders came to congratulate him. Ye Cheng told Li Xian that after recovering from his serious injuries, he should hold a banquet to celebrate and dispel the bad luck. Furthermore, he should announce to everyone that they should no longer covet his beautiful wife and wealth. Li Xian did as he was told, setting up a banquet and inviting the common people, disciples, elders, and others.
It cost more than a hundred taels of silver in total.
The banquet dishes and wines were all of the finest quality. There were dishes such as "Steamed Perch", "Peach Blossom Wine", and "Fried Crab with Roe"... River delicacies, seafood, and mountain delicacies were all available, making for a rich variety of dishes.
After the banquet, several disciples of the Flower Cage Sect expressed their desire to join Li Xian's sect.
The Flower Cage Sect is loosely organized and disorganized, with disciples from all walks of life, of humble origins, and with mediocre martial arts skills, making them unlikely to achieve great things. The sect's elders cultivate their own cronies and win over followers to serve them. Those seeking recognition and advancement actively curry favor with elders, doing their bidding, flattering and fawning to secure their future.
Although Li Xian is currently only a "disciple holding the order," the position of "prospective elder" is practically within his grasp, a fact known to all. It's just that his qualifications are insufficient, so the position hasn't been publicly announced yet. Therefore, some opportunistic and clever individuals have taken the lead in joining his ranks, demonstrating their loyalty in order to gain his attention.
Li Xian had no intention of forming cliques, so he declined all offers. Although his disciples felt regret, they dared not say anything. After the banquet, the matter was temporarily settled. Both external and internal troubles had been quelled.
Hao Qingshe's formidable enemy has already left the island.
In the remaining days, he can quietly practice martial arts and hone his skills.
On this day.
[Wind Breeze]
[Proficiency: 396/1000 Mastery]
Li Xian's breathing was strange. It varied in length, intensity, and frequency. His chest would sometimes swell up like a ball, and sometimes deflate like a concave board. Every ten or so breaths, he would exhale a wisp of foul, mixed air.
Although Xunfeng Breath is considered a "basic martial art," it is profound and extensive, passed down through generations and perfected to perfection. It is the ultimate technique of the Nangong Liuli lineage. Since everyone breathes, Xunfeng Breath can be circulated constantly, warding off poison, strengthening the body, and eliminating toxins…
The poison of the "Yin Demon Heart-Eating Palm" was completely eliminated. Li Xian's blood and energy were abundant, and with proper nourishment, he was left without the slightest hidden injury. Nangong Liuli was both delighted and surprised, deeply feeling that Li Xian's physique was strong and incomparable to ordinary people, and his ability to detoxify was extremely strong.
She then thought that this physical body, so powerful and vigorous, was not limited to this. Her pretty face flushed slightly, her thoughts were in turmoil, and her eyes held a mixture of spring and shyness.
Life was peaceful and comfortable, carefree and at ease.
Nangong Liuli took meticulous care of him and was grateful to Li Xian for saving her. Whenever she thought back on it, she couldn't help but feel moved: "How many women in the world would have a man risk his life to save them?" Her heart was filled with sweetness and indescribable joy.
He treated Li Xian with tenderness and gentleness, which melted his heart.
The woman surnamed Huang's condition stabilized, and the blood holes all over her body gradually scabbed over. Li Xian spent dozens of taels of silver to purchase herbs and exotic medicines, which he then brewed into a medicinal bath for her. Her condition gradually improved, but a full recovery was extremely difficult.
Li Xian did his best without asking for anything more. His martial arts improved daily, and his Remnant Demon Spear technique was nearing perfection. Nangong Liuli spent her days practicing martial arts with Li Xian and studying the Five Elements, finding great joy in it. Whenever they were drenched in sweat from exhaustion, they would take a medicinal bath in clam shells.
She diligently studied miscellaneous books like "The Book of Flowery Trap," "The Sleepless Nights Gazing at the Moon," and "The Jade Painting Diagram." Upon first reading them, she blushed deeply, her mind and body restless. She couldn't help but curse the Flowery Trap School for its indecent practices, spending all its time studying these various kinds of things. How could such wicked books exist in the world? They should all be burned for the sake of peace and quiet.
If it weren't for Li Xian… she would never have wanted to be like this with anyone. But having achieved some success in her studies, and trying a few things according to the miscellaneous books, she found them quite different. She couldn't help but think that the Flower Cage Sect was quite adept at this. Learning it to cultivate one's character wasn't entirely out of the question.
The two, having mastered the essence of the sect, reveled in chaos and pleasure. Several days later, news suddenly arrived that Li Xian had been promoted to "Printed Flower Disciple" of the Flower Cage Sect, a high rank within the sect.
He was extremely powerful. His followers all admired him. Chief Envoy Shi and Yan Hao were quite fond of him. Ye Cheng tried to recruit him, Tang Feng respected his demeanor, and Han Zisha sought personal gain with him. Meng Han avoided seeing him.
Furthermore, in the arena, Li Xian's "Remnant Demon Spear" technique was wielded with a ghostly aura, demonstrating profound skill, and no one dared to disagree.
Before he knew it, Li Xian had already established himself firmly. His promotion to "Printing Disciple" was a natural progression.
He arrived at the inner island with the order and registered in the register at Panzhilou, recording him as a 'disciple of the printing press'. This matter was under the management of "Meng Han", who feigned sick leave and dared not meet with him, behaving petty and despicable.
Disciples who are skilled in printing are already core members of the sect. They can receive monthly donations and merit money, and enjoy discounts at the "Hundred Treasures Pavilion" and "Hundred Flowers Pavilion" on the inner island.
You can also accept missions to lead your disciples out to find flowers. If the flower search is successful and the flower is brought back to the water jar, the rewards of merit money and fundraising are generous. Although Li Xian Island has properties, if you want to quickly establish your cauldron, accepting missions to find flowers is of paramount importance. Li Xian benefits greatly from being trapped in the flower cage, but ultimately finds it difficult to harm innocent people.
The Flower Cage Sect's loose structure has its advantages and disadvantages. While entry is easy and the number of disciples is large, the sect's loose hierarchy means that the protection and cultivation provided to disciples and even elders is not as comprehensive as that of the Leaving Mountain Sword Sect. Therefore, to earn money, one must raise funds independently.
Although Li Xian was promoted to "Disciple of Printing," he never left the island to seek flowers. Instead, he stayed at home, practicing martial arts alone. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would use the remaining "peach blossom tree trunks" to make fishing rods and fish by the lake for fun.
Recently, flower boats have been arriving and mooring one after another. The elders of the Flower Cage Sect have all gathered at the water altar, seemingly discussing some extremely important matter. Shi Yufei is preoccupied with other matters and has not yet sought out Li Xian.
[Minor Five Elements Mystic Escape]
[Proficiency: 56/100]
[The Remnant Spear]
[Proficiency: 15/35000 Perfect]
[Description: You have grasped the characteristics of 'being possessed by a ghost.' This includes being haunted by vengeful spirits, suffering from illness, experiencing nightmares, having your lifespan shorten, and gradually becoming emaciated. However, because you possess the 'cloak of divine evil,' the ghosts cannot easily penetrate your body, and all these harmful effects are useless against you.]
As Li Xianxue's cultivation deepened, all paths advanced simultaneously. His mastery of the Five Elements Escape Technique was remarkable, and he had also perfected the Remnant Demon Spear. The spear's power was unpredictable, and with all these characteristics combined, his strength was unfathomable.
October has arrived in the blink of an eye. The sweltering heat is gradually turning cooler, and autumn is deepening into winter. The crops in the fields are ripe and fragrant, and the golden rice ears are a delight to behold. It is the busy season for farming.
Fruit trees along the roadside are laden with large fruits. Dongran Lake is abundant in crabs, fish, and shrimp. Autumn is the season when shrimp are plentiful, and around the islands, palm-sized, plump shrimp can be seen everywhere. Even a three-year-old child can easily fill a bowl with a wire net and have dinner ready.
This is the "Tingwei Shrimp," an excellent ingredient from Dongran Lake. The Lishan Sword Sect, Fanjiang Sect, and other sects and factions located near the lake all enjoy the "Tingwei Shrimp."
This shrimp has firm flesh and thick, rich roe. It is already a rare delicacy with just simple cooking. Unfortunately, it must be cooked immediately after being taken out of the water; every moment of delay will diminish its freshness.
If one night passes.
The fat turned into putrid water, making it difficult to swallow. Along the lake shore, ordinary people could be seen everywhere wielding long poles, vigorously slapping the surface of the lake. Water splashed everywhere, stunning the shrimp and causing them to float to the surface.
Because the mantis shrimp need to be eaten immediately after being taken out of the water, the island's residents never overindulge. They believe they have enough for their families, so they pack them into baskets and take them home to cook. Li Xian, quite curious, also picked up a wooden pole and started slapping it against the lake surface.
His slap was incredibly powerful. Water splashed several meters high, and swarms of mantis shrimp floated to the surface. Li Xian had a large appetite; he collected ten mantis shrimp and returned to Qingniu Residence with his bowl overflowing.

[Proficiency +1]
[Skill: Culinary Arts]
[Proficiency: 25/10000 Perfect]
Li Xian exhausted his ingenuity, preparing the mantis shrimp in a variety of ways that were perfect in color, aroma, and taste. The moment the roe and oil touched the mouth, the freshness and fragrance were endless, truly indescribable. Nangong Liuli couldn't help but sigh, being trapped in the Flower Cage Gate had some advantages after all.
They lived quietly, accumulating experience and knowledge.
That day.
Finally, Chief Envoy Shi had some free time and came to visit Li Xian. He felt his pulse and examined his physical condition, finding his blood as smooth as lead and mercury, and his spirits strong, confirming that his injuries had indeed healed, so he was relieved.
He chatted with Li Xian for a while. When asked about Li Xian's recent progress in cultivating the "Remnant Demon Spear," Li Xian was somewhat evasive, only saying that he had reached the "Great Completion" stage. Chief Envoy Shi repeatedly marveled at Li Xian's exceptional talent and how well he was suited to this spear technique, suggesting that he might even receive the true teachings of the Candle Sect.
He then said, “If I remember correctly, there is a Ghost Peak on the island, and a silver spear is wedged in a crevice in the rocks. You have superb spear skills, but no suitable weapon, which is not ideal. If you are interested, you may go and take it. This item has been vacant for a long time and is unclaimed. However, there may be dangers involved, so you need to consider it carefully.”
Li Xian asked, "Oh? What kind of gun is it? Why is it stuck on Ghost Peak?" He knew that Ghost Peak was located in the northwest of the island, a dangerous place.
Shi Yufei stroked his beard and paced back and forth, saying, "Dongran Lake is strange and unpredictable, containing many wonders. Every year on the fifteenth of the seventh lunar month, there are even more ghost stories. You are new here, so you may not know about them."
Li Xian thought to herself, "I know all too well; they've even come to my house to haunt it."
Shi Yufei continued, “The Silver Spear of Ghost Peak has a very mysterious origin. It is deeply embedded in a crevice in the rock and is said to be a relic left behind by an ancient powerhouse. It is also said to have been brought out on the fifteenth of July when ghosts were rampant. It is a rare and unusual spear, but I have no way of verifying the specifics. I once went to Ghost Peak to examine the Silver Spear. Hmm, although its origin is strange and its material is quite special, it does not possess any divine power and is guarded by a giant python, so I left it where it was. Bringing it up now seems just right for you.”
"If you go, there may be danger. But what about us martial artists? There is no danger. You can also take this as an opportunity to train and test your ability to adapt."
Li Xian smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, General Envoy. If I have the chance, I will definitely go and take a look." Shi Yufei casually mentioned it and nodded with a smile.
...
...
Li Xian watched Shi Yufei leave.
He pondered, "My peach blossom spear was forged by a peach tree spirit. The shaft is sturdy and quite resilient, but it feels light and unwieldy to carry, and the spearhead is made of ordinary iron, not particularly sharp. If I were to encounter a truly powerful enemy, it might not be enough. The River-Sinking Sword is of excellent quality, possessing the [Water-Playing] property, but with frequent use, its edge has become slightly dull. Even the finest sword, if abused without proper care, will eventually break. If that silver spear is indeed exceptional, perhaps it could truly become my weapon."
He decided to examine that mysterious silver spear. If it felt right to him, he would try to take it.
That night, Li Xian discussed the matter with Nangong Liuli. Nangong Liuli, recalling the "door-worshipping ghost," felt a slight chill and great worry. However, knowing that Li Xian was not afraid of ghosts and was even more intelligent and prudent than herself, she was certain he had a good chance of success if he wanted to go. Therefore, she didn't stop him, but earnestly instructed him to be extremely careful, saying she would be heartbroken if he were to get hurt. Li Xian nodded in agreement.
The next day.
Li Xian prepared enough water and dry food, calculating that the round trip would take a day or half a day, and then headed northwest.
Leaving Peach Blossom Town, the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Among the islands and water features, where flowers flourished, danger often lurked. This was the "flower array" set up by the Flower Cage Gate. Li Xian traveled along the road, passing through Willow Blossom Town and Qingyuan Town, where the number of people gradually decreased.
After another half hour, we arrived at the foot of Ghost Peak.
Looking out, the scenery was indeed treacherous. The mountain path was steep and rugged, the trees twisted and gnarled, and even before entering the mountains, a chilling aura emanated from them. Many ferocious wild beasts roamed the area, and the howls of wolves and roars of tigers could be heard frequently. Li Xian circled around for several miles, observing the surrounding terrain.
A strong stench emanated from it.
"This stench is wolf urine. It seems that this Ghost Peak is ravaged by wolves and beasts."
This is a place of hidden danger and gloom. Li Xian had been hunting since childhood and knew the mountain's terrain was treacherous and unpredictable. Even though he had transcended the mundane and possessed considerable skill, he should not be underestimated. He followed the path into the mountains, and after walking for a short while, he felt the temperature drop sharply and the light dim. It was just past dawn, and the sun was shining brightly. The trees here, though not tall, blocked out all the sunlight.
After walking several miles, they suddenly heard a rustling sound behind them. A black wolf suddenly attacked, lunging forward. Li Xian thrust his spear back, piercing the wolf's skull.
With another flick of the wrist, the wolf's body flew several feet, crashing into another lurking black wolf. Both wolves convulsed and died instantly.
Li Xian thought to himself, "The wolves here are more cunning and ferocious than elsewhere." He exhaled white mist, which clung to the gun barrel and flowed to the tip. The bloodstains scattered upon contact, leaving the gun shiny as new. His gaze swept across the area, and he could vaguely see dozens of black wolves staring intently at this spot.
Suddenly, a wolf howled.
The pack of wolves crawled out of the shadows, staring intently at Li Xian, their ferocity and murderous intent palpable. These wolves were exceptionally robust, with thick limbs, fangs several inches long, and saliva dripping from their tips.
The lead black wolf was quite unusual in appearance, as robust as a tiger, with three fleshy bumps on its head. Its eyes were intelligent, sending chills down one's spine; its teeth were sharp, its claws gleaming, and its aura of ferocity was intense.
Surrounded and attacked by a pack of wolves, Li Xian, instead of being afraid, was enraged and roared, "A bunch of beasts! How dare you be so vicious!" As he spoke, his voice boomed like thunder. A sudden, deafening roar, like a bolt from the blue, shook the surrounding area. Several trees nearby snapped in two with a single crack.
The leaves of the trees dozens of feet away rustled and fell to the ground. The power of that shout was truly indescribable.
The lumpy wolf king is inherently resistant to the "thunderous chest drumming." When it howls to the sky and issues commands to the pack, it is remarkably similar to the "thunderous chest drumming" of the spirit-eating warrior.
But Li Xian's spine was like a divine mountain, his chest throbbed with thunderous sound like the heavenly thunder, and he also possessed intimidating features such as "double pupils and unusual eyes" and "ghostly clothes." Although not explicitly revealed, the subtle aura of his power was already extremely formidable.
The resounding boom carried the force of a raging torrent, the thunderous roar, the stampede of ten thousand horses, and the overwhelming might of a black army. Though the pack of wolves was numerous, how could they possibly withstand it?
The monstrous wolf king immediately fled in terror. Of the dozens of ordinary black wolves, the stronger ones defecated and urinated, their limbs limp, and they staggered and fell as they fled. The weaker ones lay on the ground convulsing, exhaling more than inhaling, and were beyond saving.
Li Xian shouted, "Drink!!"
The second shout was like a sudden clap of thunder. All the wolves were dead, except for the monstrous wolf king, who barely survived. Its fur stood on end, and it dared not run away again. It ran back to Li Xian's feet, exposed its belly, lay on its back, and let out a howling bark.
Li Xian took out a dagger and cut off three fleshy growths. The wolf king whimpered and begged, but Li Xian ignored him. These growths were called "wolf crest meat," an extremely rare medicinal material.
Li Xian kicked the wolf king away and said, "Get lost." The wolf king was terrified and fled limply. Having been so frightened, even if it survived by chance, its life was not long.
All that remained were the carcasses of wolves and the stench of excrement and urine. Li Xian, using the "Seven Star Steps," continued deeper into the area. Though there were minor setbacks along the way, he easily overcame them.
Soon we came to a rock wall.
Looking up, more than ten feet above the ground, a silver spear was stuck in a crevice in the rock. The spear was entwined with vines and covered with moss, indicating that it had been in the crevice for a very long time.
Li Xian had excellent eyesight and could vaguely make out the patterns on the spear shaft. He was secretly pleased and thought, "This spear has been left in the cracks of the rock for a long time, exposed to wind and sun, and weathered by time. Yet it remains straight and the patterns are clear, which shows that the material is special and very sturdy and wear-resistant. Moreover, I see that the rock walls around it are covered with cracks, and judging from its aura... it must be quite heavy!"
He had heard that the Silver Spear was guarded by a "ghost python," so he dared not be careless. He waited at the foot of the mountain to observe. After waiting for about half an hour, he still saw no trace of the ghost python. He noticed that it was getting late, and as night fell, the place became eerie and trouble was brewing.
So he took the Seven Star Steps and leaped onto a large tree, gathering "lightness" within his body.
[Seven Star Step]
[Proficiency: 7599/10000 Perfect]
Li Xian leaped into the air, his figure graceful and agile. He stepped onto a protruding rock, then used the momentum to push off again. His figure rose several meters higher; the mountain walls here were steep and uneven, offering many points of leverage.
They quickly reached a height of several dozen feet. A strong wind blew, causing their clothes to flutter, giving them a feeling of exhilarating freedom. Li Xian grabbed the spear, and with a surge of internal energy, the vines and withered branches all crumbled and fell to the ground with a "crack".
Li Xian stood horizontally against the rock face, his feet braced against it. He used his arms to pull the silver spear, causing the cliff to shift and creating a cacophony of clanging rocks. With a thud, the silver spear was pulled out half an inch.
Li Xian thought to himself, "This spear is stuck very deep. I am strong, but it will really take some effort to pull it out completely." He concentrated his strength and pulled out the spear.
Suddenly, a hissing sound was heard. The giant python suddenly appeared, lunging down from above with its mouth wide open. Li Xian frowned: "When did this giant python appear? I've been observing for a long time, but I haven't seen any trace of it. Otherwise, I would have killed the giant python first before deciding to draw my gun safely."
Without a second thought, Li Xian hooked his silver spear with his foot and hung upside down on the cliff face, dodging the attack of the demonic python. The python, with its enormous body, missed its attack and rolled down the cliff.
With a series of "cracks," several large trees were smashed down. The serpent hissed as two tree trunks snapped off and pierced its body like spears.
Li Xian thought to himself, "A good opportunity!" He immediately pushed off with his toes, bent his belly to grab the gun, and braced his feet against the rock wall again, seizing the moment to draw the gun. The gun spun as it scraped against the cracks in the rock, producing a piercing hiss.
The serpent twisted its body; though enormous, it could cling to the rock face and rapidly approached Li Xian. Li Xian remained unperturbed, standing atop his silver spear, drawing his bow and firing arrows. In an instant, he fired seven arrows, all striking the serpent's head with perfect accuracy.
Unfortunately, the wooden arrows weren't sharp enough, and the python-hide armor was thick and heavy, making them difficult to kill. However, Li Xian's strength was immense; with each arrow, the wooden arrow was instantly crushed to dust.
At the same time, the serpent's ascending body was knocked back more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters). Seven arrows in succession sent the serpent crashing back down the cliff. Li Xian immediately tried to draw his spear.
He snorted coldly, and with a sudden burst of force from both his feet and hands, the rocks shattered with a deafening roar, scattering debris and dust everywhere. Li Xian had already drawn his silver spear in an instant.
The spear was long enough to fit his body, and quite heavy. However, it was covered in moss and strange rust... Li Xian was slightly disappointed, but it was still better than the "Peach Blossom Spear." He thought to himself, "This silver spear is mine. The Peach Blossom Spear is useless to me, so I might as well leave it here."
He kicked the peach blossom spear.
The spear shot out fiercely, aiming at the serpent's vertical pupils. The serpent twisted its body, avoiding a fatal blow. However, being struck by the Peach Blossom Spear, it roared in pain and rage.
After landing, Li Xian quickly fled, determined not to linger in battle. But the serpent relentlessly pursued him, its body twisting and turning, knocking down trees and carving furrows along the way. Li Xian suddenly thought, "This mere beast, despite its enormous size, why should I fear it? Since it's chasing me so relentlessly, I'll take it down and test the sharpness of my silver spear!"
He immediately stood firm, silver spear in hand. He turned and charged at the demonic python. The instant he struck, the wind and clouds seemed to calm, his momentum unstoppable. This move had no set pattern, no angle; it was purely a direct and deadly attack. The demonic python opened its mouth to bite, refusing to retreat, both determined to decide the outcome with a single strike.
Li Xian's spear strike was incredibly powerful. It tore the demonic python apart completely, its blood splattering everywhere. The silver spear in his hand, now stained with snake blood, emitted a faint, shimmering light.
Suddenly, I felt the gun getting extremely hot.
Rust and moss fell away, revealing the true form of the spear. It gleamed with silver light, sharp and heavy, exceptionally handsome. As if a python or beast slithered across the spear, lifelike, and in a moment, another ghostly python pattern appeared on the shaft.
Li Xian, holding a long spear, stood facing this direction, which made him appear even more majestic and extraordinary, fierce and intimidating, and exceptionally handsome.
turn out to be……
This ghostly python is extremely peculiar. It is neither a physical entity nor an ethereal one. This spear was originally named the "Ghostly Python Spear," but after it was left here, its spiritual energy dissipated. The ghostly python detached from the spear, and under the wind and sun, it gradually evolved into something that seemed both real and ethereal.
This matter is strange, but it is not unfounded.
It is very secretive.
Although Shi Yufei's cultivation was not shallow, he had also tried to draw the "Ghost Python Spear". However, he did not practice spear techniques. When he was investigating the Ghost Python Spear, although he was attacked by the Ghost Python, he did not linger and left. Therefore, he did not know the secrets of this spear.
Bathing in snake blood, Li Xian felt a spiritual resonance with the Ghost Python Spear, instantly feeling a closeness to it. He suddenly sensed that the spear was made of a special material, capable of being as heavy as a thousand pounds, yet as flexible as a ribbon, able to be wrapped around the arm and concealed by the sleeve for easy carrying.
This Ghost Python Spear was an unexpected delight, much to his liking.
...
...
On the other hand...
Hao Qingshe was driven away by Shi Yufei and boarded a flower boat to leave Shuitan Island. She was eccentric and did not care about gains or losses in her actions, so she had no regrets.
After successfully leaving the island, she assumed Li Xian was dead and quickly put the matter out of her mind. She was accompanied by three female disciples who had been taught by her and had practiced poison arts for many years.
In her early years, she roamed the world with her mastery of poison, and few could subdue her. This fueled her arrogance, leading her to quickly rise to the top of the Red List. When the matter escalated, she was hunted down by various factions, forcing her to hide in the Water Altar. In recent years, while secluded in the Water Altar, her poison skills have greatly improved. Now, emerging from the altar, she feels like a fish entering the vast ocean, experiencing the boundless freedom and expansiveness of the world.
She was capricious and unpredictable, indifferent to human life. But she always sought revenge, so she went to find her old enemy and used poison to exact her vengeance.
In recent days, he has inexplicably poisoned several martial arts masters, thus gaining considerable notoriety.
Little did they know that evil people will be punished by other evil people, and danger was already imminent.
That night, Hao Qingshe stayed at an inn. As soon as she opened her room door, she heard a childish voice call out, "Madam, please have some tea."
The voice came from a little girl, about seven or eight years old, with a high ponytail and bright, innocent eyes. She was offering tea to a woman in a white dress.
The lady possessed an indescribable charm, with exquisite makeup, a silver hairpin swaying gently, and pearls clinking softly.
She took the teacup with elegant movements. She sipped the tea with her red lips, leaving a faint crimson stain on the cup.
