Radiant Spirit Grass...
Xi Xizhi had seen it twice in medical books.
Actually, she knew this method, but she just hadn't thought of it at the time.
Reaching out and grasping a strand of silver hair, I wonder if I dyed my hair black when I was in human form, and if I turn back into a sable, will I become a black sable?
Xi Xizhi shuddered at the thought of her own appearance.
However, now that I'm in Fengzhou, if I don't appear in human form, there will be a huge problem with communication.
Therefore, Xi Xizhi had no choice but to make a tough decision.
After searching for nearly half an hour, Xi Xizhi finally found a few Radiant Spirit Grasses in a tangled patch of grass.
She didn't have any tools to work with the herbs, so she could only squat by the river and rub the Radiant Grass with her hands to squeeze out the juice from the leaves, then quickly apply it to her hair.
To prevent the juice from staining her palms black, Xi Xizhi washed her hands every now and then.
While dyeing her hair, she watched her reflection in the water until the originally silvery strands of hair gradually turned into a glossy black.
Having grown accustomed to her silver hair, Xi Xizhi felt a little uneasy when her hair suddenly turned black again.
Chun pouted and said, "Hmm, silver hair is still prettier."
Suddenly remembering something, Xi Xizhi turned to An Honghan and asked, "Where is Dongfang Youyu? Didn't you say that Master Feng was also in the direction of Fengzhou? Then, could there be any trace of Old Man Xu?"
Dongfang Youyu had always been the most enthusiastic about finding Old Man Xu. But this time, Xi Xizhi suddenly remembered that he hadn't followed along.
"On the day I set off for Fengzhou, I sent a eunuch to inform him that he was probably delayed by something, but I believe he will catch up soon," An Honghan said slowly, not seeming to care much about the matter concerning Dongfang Youyu.
"Oh, no wonder I haven't seen him anywhere." Xi Xizhi sat by the river, waiting for her hair to dry, letting the wind whip her black hair around.
Xi Xizhi's hair was so long that it reached her heels. She always walked with trepidation, afraid that she would step on her hair.
The urge to cut her hair surged up again in her heart, and she earnestly hoped that An Honghan would accept it, so she presented her hair, which had already been dyed black, to An Honghan.
"Look, it's so inconvenient to have such long hair. I almost fell down several times when I was walking. I got caught on the treetops."
"Besides, what normal person would run around with hair that reaches the ground?"
Xi Xizhi made up a reason, but in reality, her hair was incredibly smooth. Even a comb with extremely fine teeth and tiny gaps could easily comb it all the way through, so there was no possibility that it would get caught on the treetop.
An Honghan was naturally not fooled; he paid close attention to everything Xi Xizhi said and did.
While walking through the bushes, I was worried that someone might not be used to the mountain path, so I took special care of her and made her wait until I cleared the way before continuing. That's why An Honghan saw through Xi Xi's lie.
"Really? It is indeed a bit inconvenient." An Honghan said expressionlessly, echoing Xi Xizhi's words.
Upon hearing this, Xi Xi felt hopeful! She nodded vigorously, "So, let's cut it off."
Xi Xizhi spoke with exceptional sincerity, and her tone made An Honghan feel a tickle in his heart.
A hint of mockery surfaced in An Honghan's eyes, "In that case, it's up to you whether to cut it or not, but... are you sure you won't turn into a bald weasel after cutting your fur?"
An Honghan deliberately emphasized the last three words.
The scene immediately flashed into Xi Xizhi's mind, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
How could she forget! She's so afraid of everything when she's dyeing her hair, cutting it off is like shaving herself! What if she shaves it all over the place? How is she supposed to go out in public?
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed together, and Xi Xizhi hesitated in her heart.
At this moment, An Honghan picked up a strand of Xi Xizhi's black hair, played with it in his hand, and suddenly said, "If you want to make your hair shorter, just put it on top of your head and tie it into a bun."
These words were like a wake-up call, and Xi Xizhi slapped her head hard.
"Oh right, how could I forget that I can style my hair into a bun?" This way, I don't have to cut it, and I can also lower my hair to waist level, which is the best of both worlds.
An Honghan smiled faintly, "You're already stupid and dull enough. If you keep slapping your head, you might really make yourself stupid."
"Wait a minute..." Her excited face immediately fell again. Xi Xizhi realized a huge problem and stammered, "I don't know how to do hair buns."
Before, in the palace, palace maids would help her comb her hair, but after leaving the palace, she almost always kept her fur-haired look and didn't need to comb her hair at all. Only now did she realize that she didn't know how to do it.
As for her previous life? Xi Xizhi never left the valley, and her hair was always down her back. Why would she bother to comb her hair into a fancy bun?
Seeing the girl staring at her hair with a look of deep resentment, An Honghan couldn't help but pull her into his arms and gently kiss her forehead. The kiss was devoid of desire, like a dragonfly skimming the water, a light touch before parting, as swift as the licks Xi Xizhi used when she was still a little mink.
"It's alright, I'm here. Combing hair is no problem for me." With that, An Honghan moved behind Xi Xizhi, spread his hands to act as a comb, and gathered up strands of Xi Xizhi's hair.
Xi Xizhi blushed with embarrassment.
Just now... the actions between the two were so ambiguous...
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but ever since her body grew up, the person in front of her seemed to be flirting with her, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
For example, right now... the two of them are no more than a few centimeters apart, close enough that she can smell An Honghan's breath.
Despite being a burly man, An Honghan was incredibly skilled at combing hair, finishing in no time. His once floor-length hair was now pulled back to his waist. He then whittled a thin stick from the bushes by the river, using it as a hairpin to secure Xi Xizhi's hair.
After everything was finished, Xi Xizhi stood up.
It's definitely more comfortable to have shorter hair...
You no longer have to worry about stepping on your own hair.
“If you appear in public, the red mark on your forehead will still be very obvious. Anyone with a brain can see it.” An Honghan slowly moved his finger to the red mark on her forehead.
Xi Xizhi had almost forgotten about this and was a little troubled. "So what can we do? This mark can't be erased."
You can dye your hair, but you can't just shave off the mark, can you? That's a piece of flesh.
