In high spirits, Nanwusi devoured all the pastries. These pastries were exquisite and small, with excellent color and taste, leaving Nanwusi with a lingering sense of satisfaction.
"Xiao Yi, how did you remember the flavors of so many pastries?" Nan Wusi looked at Xiao Yi curiously. There were a total of 52 kinds of pastries here, and they certainly weren't all local specialties, because there were many of them that she particularly liked.
"Knowing you like it, I naturally remembered it," Xiao Yi replied with a smile.
"Am I being too greedy?" Nan Wusi asked, blushing.
"No, you're very cute." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Once everything settles down, I'll take you to eat all the delicious food in the world."
"Okay, then it's a deal, you can't go back on your word." Nan Wusi wanted to make a pinky promise with Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi, meanwhile, was making this childish gesture with Nan Wusi with a look of doting affection.
"Come early tomorrow," Nan Wusi said to Xiao Yi, wanting to heal Xiao Yi's eyes as soon as possible.
"Okay." Xiao Yi nodded, feeling a sense of anticipation. After so many years, he had long given up hope, but he never expected that one day the woman he loved would tell him that there was a way to cure his eyes.
After bidding farewell to Xiao Yi, Nan Wusi returned directly to his residence, where he was immediately met with Jiang Zhirou's gossipy gaze.
"Sisi, tell your mother quickly, how did it go today?" In fact, Jiang Zhirou knew from the happy blush on Nan Wusi's face that the two had made up.
"Mother, Xiao Yi confessed his feelings to me," Nan Wusi said happily.
"You agreed?" Jiang Zhirou then asked.
"Mmm." Nan Wusi nodded shyly.
"When will this young man come to propose marriage?" Jiang Zhirou sighed inwardly. She never expected that despite all her precautions, her daughter would still end up getting entangled with someone from the royal family.
"Oh dear, Mother, it's still early," Nan Wusi said coquettishly. "The time isn't right yet."
"Just know what you're doing," Jiang Zhirou said.
"Mm." Nan Wusi nodded.
"Oh, right, Xinxi is also at the manor. When are you going to visit her?" Jiang Zhirou suddenly remembered that Wusi and Xinxi were also good friends, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.
“Really! Then I’ll go right now.” Nan Wusi immediately got up, preparing to go see Ouyang Xinxi.
"You silly child, what's the rush? Don't you even know what time it is?" Jiang Zhirou said with a laugh.
"Oh, okay then." Nan Wusi only then realized that it was already very late, and Xinxi was probably already resting.
"Oh, right, Mother, Xiao Yi is coming tomorrow too. Please prepare a room for him," Nan Wusi said to Jiang Zhirou.
"Even if you two like each other, this is still against etiquette," Jiang Zhirou said, rubbing her temples and advising with a headache.
"Oh dear, Mother, you've misunderstood. I brought him here because I've found a way to cure his eye ailment. I plan to try it tomorrow," Nan Wusi explained to Jiang Zhirou.
"When did you acquire this ability?" Jiang Zhirou looked at Nan Wusi with a suspicious expression.
"Why would I lie to you? I came up with this method by chance, and it doesn't require much skill," Nan Wusi said sincerely, holding Jiang Zhirou's hand.
"Alright, alright. You should go and rest too." Jiang Zhirou waved her hand and started to shoo people away.
"Okay, goodnight, Mother." Nan Wusi skipped back to her room.
After returning to his room, Nan Wusi immediately contacted Xiao Ba, "Xiao Ba, it's time to redeem. I want to redeem the thing the system promised me for medicine to treat Xiao Yi's eye disease."
"Host, are you sure? Once you're sure, there's no going back," Xiao Ba asked again.
"Confirmed," Nan Wusi replied confidently. Back then, Xiao Yi had risked his life to steal the phoenix tail feather, so Nan Wusi wasn't at all reluctant to exchange the system's promise for medicine to treat Xiao Yi's eye ailment.
Besides, Nanwu's healing of Xiao Yi was also driven by selfish motives; she didn't want her lover to never see her again.
"Okay, system is exchanging." Xiao Ba's mechanical voice sounded.
Not long after, a pill appeared in Nan Wusi's system inventory.
"Host, all you need to do is give this pill to the other person," Xiao Ba said.
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Ba." Nan Wusi thanked Xiao Ba.
"Host, you don't need to thank me. You deserve it all." Xiao Ba didn't take credit for it.
"Xiao Ba, upgrade my appearance to the highest level." Nan Wusi said to Xiao Ba, hoping that Xiao Yi would see a perfect version of her the moment he opened his eyes.
She had already exchanged half of the ten thousand taels of gold she obtained while hunting for beauty points, and now she was quite wealthy.
"Okay." Xiao Ba replied, "The host's appearance has been upgraded to level 10, costing a total of 9,520 beauty points."
"Okay." Nan Wusi stood in front of the mirror and looked at her new self.
She was already quite satisfied with her appearance, which had reached level seven, but now that it had reached level ten, she felt even more refined.
Moreover, she was so fair-skinned that she seemed to glow, had a very curvy figure, long, black, shiny hair, and her lips were bright red even without lip rouge.
Looking at the stunning beauty in the mirror, who would have thought that just a few months ago she was the ugly duckling that everyone in the capital hated?
After admiring her own appearance, Nan Wusi began selecting clothes in the system shop, intending to dress herself up from head to toe.
By the time Nan Wusi had finished selecting everything, it was already past midnight, but her excitement hadn't subsided, and she was unusually excited.
She finally fell asleep just as dawn was breaking. The table was covered with jewelry, cosmetics, and many sets of clothes.
When the maid that Jiang Zhirou had temporarily arranged for Nan Wusi came to call her the next day, she was dazzled by the contents of the table.
"Miss, wake up! Madam is waiting for you to have your meal." A clear and bright voice rang in Nan Wusi's ears.
"Ye Zi?" Nan Wusi rubbed his eyes and felt a sense of loss when he saw an unfamiliar face.
"Miss, my name is Qinran." The maid bowed immediately upon seeing that Nan Wusi had woken up.
"Qinran, did you just say that Mother is waiting for me to have breakfast?" Nan Wusi asked again, as if that was what she had just heard.
“Yes, Miss. Madam sent me to wake you up. And His Highness Prince Yi has already arrived,” Qinran said to Nan Wusi.
"What! Why didn't you say so sooner?" Nan Wusi jumped out of bed and hurriedly started getting dressed.
Although she asked Xiao Yi to come earlier, she didn't expect him to come this early.
In order to save time, Nan Wusi prepared a lot of things last night, but hardly used any of them. She grabbed a piece of clothing from the table, did a quick makeup, and went out.
Even among the carefully selected jewelry, only one hairpin was chosen to be worn in her hair bun.
